New Orleans, LA.

Klaus barged into Marcel's former penthouse where some of the vampires had currently taken up residence, with Hayley and Noah hot on his heels; the three hybrids equally as angry as each other. "Rise and shine, Night-walker Nation," Klaus announced loudly causing all the vampires to stir in the darkened room, "if it was your aim to get my attention, then I must say you've been wildly successful."

The vampires frowned in confusion, not understanding what it was the original was talking about as they all began to murmur nervously. "I am now singularly focused on your impending doom," Klaus smirked menacingly, a cold look in his eyes as he took the coin he had received with the swastika out of his pocket. "And, to whomever sent this coin and took my wife..." the original trailed, kicking a chair forcefully causing it to break, "it's time to show your face."

Klaus tossed the coin to the floor before he grabbed the broken legs from the chair and sped towards two vampires, staking them directly in their heart. Noah and Hayley both smirked before speeding over towards some other vampires and harshly biting into their necks, infecting them with the werewolf venom they were all so terribly afraid of. As the vampires screamed in agony, the coin continued to spin on the floor; waiting for the perpetrator to pick it up and take ownership.

As the three hybrids tore their way through the group of vampires, Klaus caught sight of on trying to get away, however Marcel sped into the room and threw the vampire to the ground before he had the chance to leave. The remaining vampires looked towards Marcel in shock, not expecting him to be on the three hybrids' side. "Don't look to me for help," the vampire scoffed, "y'all lost your chance to trade loyalty for protection."

Klaus grabbed the vampire that had tried to flee by his leg, dragging him towards the window at the other end of the apartment. "This would mark your very last opportunity to confess," the original spoke firmly as he looked down at the vampire who held his arms up in defence, a nervous look on his face. "Look, I don't know anything," the vampire pleaded, desperately trying to fight for his life.

Klaus smirked in response, "well, that's a pity for you, then," the original replied, pulling the vampire to his feet and holding him in the air. "Hayley, if you would," Klaus spoke with a devilish smile causing the Marshall woman to smirk, pulling the red curtains that covered the windows back. As the sun shone through, the vampire screamed in agony as he burnt to death.

Just as Klaus dropped the vampire's burning body, the sound of footsteps suddenly entered the room. "It's me you're looking for," Greta admitted in defeat as she picked the coin up causing Noah, Marcel, Klaus and Hayley to all turn towards her with varying expressions of anger and shock. "Perhaps we should talk," the vampire stated, raising an eyebrow at Klaus who looked as though he was about to tear her head from her body.
