Light In Your Eyes

[BeautifullyxMad]

Lacey sat on the locked coffin, staring at the other three. So that was where Elijah had went, Emerald and she were supposed to have been in touch with him this entire time. So Klaus had daggered him, and soon she heard something else amd she mpves away from the coffins and nearly attacked the new figure. "Damon. Shit, I thought you were another hybrid."she admitted, and she motioned him inside. "I'm laying low here for a while. Until I know that Emerald is home, and safe."she said amd when she approached the coffin that was locked, she sighed.

"This one is it. But from what I understand there are only four other Originals aside from Klaus amd Rebekah is somewhere. Plus the three brothers here. This one though. We know its not father original. So, who else could it be and why is it locked?"she asked, kicking the coffin. It did no damage to it, but she sighed. "Just short of dynamite and a witch, I can't think of anything else to open it."

She ran her fimger through her hair, blood staining her hand from washing it in the nearby creek. "Stefan just told me to keep watch for the night, but after that hybrid, I'm thinking there needs to be somewhere safer to move these. At least this one."she motioned to the locked one. "Never know when things will um... blow up."

She opened the openable coffins, and she studied Elijah and sighed, "It's a shame we can't trust any of them, they could be useful."

Klaus turned to Emerald and nodded, half expecting her to leave right after. He wouldn't compel them, he didn't know which ones were guzzling vervain. Damon and Stefan were no doubt. Stefan now anyway. However, he turned when she asked. "He and his conspirator? I'm sure there is one, well... after I get my family, I may kill them."he answered. "Or I may show mercy, depending, but Stefan is definitely dead."he answered. "Worried about your friends I see. And family. Admirable quality."

He finished his drink and sighed, "Go. I'm sure your sister is worried."he said and he headed about the house when his hybrids returned. He didn't know if she had left or not, but he moved a few things around and thought some more. He wasn't sure how fat he'd have to go, but morning would be coming soon. Then the real fun would begin.

Mindy came into the room. "Dean hasn't returned, should I go loom for him?"she asked and Klaus nodded.

[Forevveru]

Emerald definitely didn't like to hear that and was worried for everyone's safety. Especially Lacey's. But she didn't feel like there was anything in her power to somehow shift some power into her position. It sucked being a vampire yet feeling so powerless. She really hated it.

At the mention of her sister she took off back to her house. Once arriving she texted her sister that she was home. Right about now she wished they were staying at a home that not all vampires could get into. This place didn't exactly feel safe to her since any could get in. All she wanted to do right now though was sleep and get the night over with.

~~

Damon could tell Lacey was on edge with who she practically attacked him when he came inside. "No hybrids anywhere in sight," he said and had made sure to be careful when coming. Being followed wasn't something any of them could really afford right now. Especially when that annoying original was going around kidnapping people.

"I don't know. The mother was a witch right? And I doubt they just randomly have any cousins. With our luck the thing will have nothing in it and is useless," he said and wouldn't be surprised. But at the same time he kind of doubted one would go through all the trouble just for it to be a locked coffin.

"We could use that space in the caves. With no vampires to get in they wouldn't be able to get this one," he commented lightly while motioning to the locked coffin.

"He would've been useful. Him and my brother are the reasons Klaus is alive. Otherwise he would have been dead the night of the sacrifice," he said with a frown and was still annoyed with Elijah from japing out and saving his brother. Well it served him right since that brother went right around and daggered him.

[BeautifullyxMad]

Lacey looked to him. "Elijah just seems to reel people in doesn't he? Found Emerald and I when word of the Petrova doppelganger existing started flying around. Tasked us here after the sacrifice. Wondered what happened to him."she said before placing her hand one the dagger in his heart, but before she pulled it out, she stopped herself. "Since Klaus will be around longer, I guess its time someone else knew. Emerald amd I came to town to protect Elena. Keep Klaus from bleeding her dry."

She finally pulled out the dagger. "I think this will send a message."she said, tossing the dagger to the side. "I'll see about compelling a few humans into moving our lock box. I want to be here when he wakes up though."

She looked to her phone and let out a sigh of relief. "She's home. Thank god."

"What is he doing here?"Stefan's voice came and Lacey looked to him.

"It's Damon. Not like it would hurt. Besides, I had a hybrid problem, and contacting you and trying to keep Klaus in the dark is hard. But you could see about moving lock box here. Just in case."she said, staring at Elijah's coffin. She wouldn't say anything just yet, but she was sure Stefan was mad as he huffed and sprinted out. "He's mad. Oh well."

Soon she texted Emerald saying she would be back soon with an old friend and not to wait up for her.

[I'll bring Klaus in the next post. I'm at a loss for him at the moment.]

[Forevveru]

Emerald didn't particularly feel safe at home by herself and didn't know how she was going to sleep. Hopefully tomorrow would be better but she doubted it. She didn't see how they were going to make it through this and wasn't overly thrilled with being tasked a suicide mission.

Frowning at the text she wasn't looking forward to an 'old friend' being brought there. She didn't have a feeling it would be anyone good. Shaking her head she would just try to get some rest until her sister got back.

~~

Damon was surprised to hear about why they came. Not only that but that they knew Elijah and the original had sent them there. Well he didn't particularly expect that but felt as though he shouldn't have been overly surprised.

"Not a good idea. He'll just screw you guys over," he warned when she pulled the dagger out. "I don't plan to let him pull one over on me again,! He then added.

Turning around right then Stefan had come back and wasn't happy about him being there and knowing of the coffins. Well he could just get over it. It wasn't like he was going to run telling the hybrid anything.

"He'll get over it. I'll see about getting that box hidden." He already had a good idea of who to get to help them hide it.

[BeautifullyxMad]

Lacey looked at him. "I have my reasons for undaggering him. I have a good feeling about it, but thanks."she said and she heard a gasp and the coffin forced open. "And he wakes."she said, looking to Elijah who looked her over and then saw Damon. "Reaquainting later. Getting you blood and caught up now. I'll see you later, Damon."

She waves him off and soon she ran with Elijah home and called out to Emerald after she tossed him a blood bag. "Emmy, I'm home. Amd I found our favorite Original."She called out and Elijah sat at the table.

"Good to see you've made it to Mystic Falls. Do you know where Niklaus is?"he asked.

"Looking for the coffins with you and your siblings. Well not you now. Doesn't know I know where they're at, and he can't know yet. But we could use your help. Distract him, exact revenge, but please... just keep him at bay."she said. "We're doing our task, at least you could do this."

Elijah nodded and left without another word. Lacey hugged Emerald soon after. "I'm so glad you're okay."she whisperee.

-

Klaus sat in the manor. It was lonely and quiet, and soon he heard something about him. It was a bit odd, and when he stood he felt himself be thrown and punched. "How dare you dagger me, Niklaus?"Elikah's voice came and Klaus looked up.

He was stunned. Who would have undaggeres him? "Mikael's dead."he spoke which cause Elijah to writhe away slightly. He got up and looked at his brother. "How are you here?"

"That is none of your concern."Elijah waved it off. "Tell me everything."

"In time brother, I will, let's get you a drink amd different clothes."Klaus said.

[Forevveru]

Emerald was a little surprised when she was awoken by her sister and came down to find Elijah there. Well that was surprising. She hadn't expected to see him again anytime soon. Curiously she wondered how Lacey found him.

"Probably still at his place," she responded and was still unhappy about the little kidnapping. Plus how she was nervous about what would happen to her sister. But at least they had someone to help with this whole thing again. He had sent them there for a reason so she doubted he would turn on them now.

With Elijah gone she relaxed slightly and hugged her back. "I'm fine. But where did you find Elijah?"

~~

Damon took off and really wasn't looking to get reacquainted with that guy. Calling Alric he asked him to come help him. He didn't really trust to many humans to help him and especially not with something this big so that was why the only person he choose was the history teacher. Elena and Jeremy wouldn't find out, he knew. They were safer not knowing and that much was obvious.

Trying to call his brother Stefan wasn't answering. His brother could be really annoying at times. Soon he would tell him about Elijah once he got the chance and Stefan stopped acting like a furious child just because he knew of the coffins.

He didn't feel comfortable with an obvious wild card and knew it wasn't good to have another original around again.

[BeautifullyxMad]

Lacey looked at Emerald and was relieved to hear that she was fine. "He was in one of the coffins that Klaus had. He had daggered him, I figure this will stir up a bit of fun." she said, and she sat at the table. "I'm just glad you're okay, really, truly. I just hope that Elijah won't stab us in the back, Damon mentioned something about him doing it to them." she closed her eyes, but she couldn't bring herself to believe that Elijah would do that to them. She could remember when he tasked them with protecting Elena... He had others before them that he could have trusted, but he chose the two of them.

She rubbed her eyes and stood up, "I'm going to shower, change, and get ready for bed and wake up and come up with a better plan." she said to her, and she placed a kiss on her sister's forehead. "I love you."

-

Klaus was baffled for a long time as he and Elijah sat and discussed things that needed to be discussed. It was almost cruel how he had just showed up when he had been daggered. Now he knew for certain that Stefan wasn't in this alone, there was someone else, equally as crazy and impulsive as he was for this stunt, helping him. It made him wonder who. He knew that Elijah had betrayed them all, and all of the impulsive people he knew of were accounted for the entire time. This was really confusing. "So, let me get this straight... You killed our mother, not Mikael, and you've killed Mikael. Why isn't our family reunited then?" he asked, and Klaus sighed.

"Stefan Salvatore and another person stole them from me, and as for Rebekah, I have no idea where she is, but I know how to get answers." he assured his brother who fixated him with a frown.

"Violence, I'm assuming. Why not just try another method, like civility?" Elijah inquired. "A sit down? I don't know, perhaps there's a deal to be struck. Maybe not with Stefan, but with the other said person." he suggested and Klaus looked over.

"You know who it is?" he asked.

"Of course I know, but I won't tell because I know you, Niklaus. Stefan wouldn't have undaggered me, nor would he have allowed me out of his sight. He doesn't trust me after the sacrifice, and you know it." he said, and he sighed. "Just think about it, Niklaus."

[Forevveru]

"I doubt he will. Why would he have tasked us with something if he was just going to turn his back and hinder us?" Emerald said and didn't believe he would. At least she hoped he wouldn't. Nodding she smiled lightly. "I love you too," she said and really hoped they could, or she could, come up with some sort of plan for morning. Anything that involved keeping her sister safe.

After Lacey went to go up and shower she headed to bed. Seeing as she already showered earlier and the rest of the events that night she couldn't bear to do anything else but sleep. In the morning she needed a good strong drink.

~~

"Elijah is undaggered," Damon spoke as Alric as the history teacher was finishing getting the locked coffin into the space that vampires couldn't enter. "Stefan's not going to be happy. And I'm not either. He betrayed us and he will do the same to the two of them."

"They obviously know him pretty well Damon. Aside from this task you told me, he had to have known them for a long time if he trusted them with this."

"Who's side are you on?" The eldest Salvatore asked in annoyance.

"Whatever side keeps everyone safe."

With a shake of his head the vampire pulled out his phone again and he would attempt to call Stefan one more time but afterwards he was just going to head home and do whatever else they came up with tomorrow. Of course he got no answer though and would somehow speak to his brother later.
