Episode Fifteen: They All Asked for You

When she woke up the next morning, Caroline was alone. She frowned as she looked over her shoulder. "Klaus?" she called out, but there was no sign of him. This was not how she had wanted to spend her morning after her wedding day. She had thought that they would spend the morning cuddling after the amazing sex that they had, had since they barely got a break from their problems or if they weren't busy with the twins.

Caroline sighed and hoped that Klaus didn't stop being romantic so soon after their wedding. She quickly dressed in a soft fawn skirt and was just brushing her hair when Klaus came in. "There you are, where did- "she cocked her head and studied him. "What's wrong?"

"Kol, he died," Klaus chocked out "In the early hours of the morning. Rebekah and Davina they tried to give him more time, but he died Caroline."

"Oh, Klaus," Caroline said softly as she hugged him tightly, cradling his head. "You should have told me; I could have been there with you."

Klaus shook his head. "There wasn't anything you could have done. Besides this was a family matter."

Caroline rested her forehead against his, "I'm your family now."

"It's getting bigger," Katherine frowned at Nadia. She noticed that the mark in her arm was getting bigger which was not attractive. "Any news? Please tell me that you have found something to keep this from spreading."

Nadia grabbed her arm. "It's a pretty powerful curse."

"Great." Katherine's voice broke. Now she had to prepare for death on top of everything else. "I guess we need to talk about funeral plans. Nadia if I die I want to be buried with my parents in Bulgaria. Well, specifically next to my mother who is actually dead and not a complete lunatic."

"Stop it," Nadia said sharply. "You are not going to die; we're going to find a way. You're Katherine Pierce. Act like it."

"Shouldn't we be in mourning or something?" Katherine asked in annoyance as she looked at Elijah who in true Mikaelson manner had already put Kol's death behind him. "I mean he was your younger brother. Instead you're trying to charm this old lady."

"Katerina, Kol is dead and we are running out of time," Elijah said. "Ms. La Rue is the only chance we have to save you from this curse not to mention save my niece and nephew from any problems from beyond the grave. Rebekah, it seems has become the prime target. Eva Sinclair, the body she is possessing, seems to be a powerful witch. She is trying to regain control of the body. Josephine is the only one that can stop them, the problem is that she hates vampires."

"Rebekah?" Katherine frowned. "What's wrong with Rebekah?"

"The body that she has belongs to one Eva Sinclair who is not well liked by the witches. They are trying to attack Rebekah. Ms. La Rue is also their leader. She is the only one who will be able to stop the attacks."

Klaus was biting Caroline's neck slightly while caressing her shoulder. Caroline bit back a moan and she pushed Klaus against the bed, ripping off the buttons of his expensive shirt. There was a knock on the door and Caroline pulled back her head annoyed. "We're busy!"

One of Klaus' minions poked his head in, not sure if he should fear Caroline. "Um, sir. I'm sorry to interrupt, but you told us to report any information about Finn."

"Hold on, love," Klaus said as he sat up. "Talk. Now."

The minion told him that Finn was hanging around the cemetery and looking suspicious. Klaus nodded as he shooed the minion away.

"Do you have to go?" Caroline asked as she caressed his hand.

Klaus kissed her slightly. "I rather be in the loop love, than out of it."

"Do you need help?" Caroline asked still slightly out of breath from their passionate moment. Klaus shook his head. "No, you stay here. I'll take care of Finn myself, believe me love he has, had this coming for a long time.

Katherine and Elijah were sitting on Josephine's expensive couch, feeling the awkwardness. Josephine cocked her head at them and Katherine couldn't help but think that she didn't look very powerful, especially by the way that her hands were painfully jointed.

Elijah had just told Josephine about the fact that she needed to call the witches off that were hunting down Rebekah and asking if there was anything she could do about Katherine's curse mark. Now they were just waiting for her response.

"No," Josephine said. "I have no desire to help you. If that wasn't the answer that you were looking for, then I'm afraid that you will be leaving disappointed. I'm not fooled by your candor, Mr. Mikaelson. I don't trust vampires no matter how elegantly they might be dressed. As for your mark, Miss Pierce I'm afraid that the only way to stop it is to kill the person who cursed you. Good day."

Elijah looked disappointed and Katherine blurted out. "Wait, that's it? You hate vampires and that's why you're kicking us out?"

"Katerina- "

"No, Elijah," Katherine glared at Josephine. "Look, lady. We're the only chance you have of stopping this Eva Sinclair from what I heard she's a real bitch and she's trying to regain possession of Rebekah's body and we can't have that. So, either you can off your witches or you're going to have a bigger problem to deal with."

Josephine looked surprise by her outburst. "You have quite a mouth, young lady." She turned to Elijah. "Can you really stop her? Eva was a monster."

Elijah nodded. "I can try, but I need you to call off your witches."

Josephine nodded. "Alright, but I want one thing in return. Vincent Griffin, one of our witches. How you get him out of your brother Finn's body is up to you."

"Finn!" Klaus voiced roared, and it could be heard through all over the cemetery. Finn looked up from where he was standing, he had been starting to dig up the graves of witches for gods knows what.

Finn grimaced. "Hello, Niklaus."

Klaus gave a choked laugh. "Is that what you have to say to me? How unfortunate that those are your last words."

"Your violence knows no bounds," Finn scowled. "Isn't it enough that you have terrorized and killed witches in this city."

"Fool, do you really think that the ancestors care about you?" Klaus demanded.

"Perhaps not, but they despise you." Finn said as he used magic to hurl fire towards Klaus. Klaus escaped by vamp jumping towards one of the graves. Finn later used magic to sent an iron pike towards Klaus chest. Klaus grunted. "Finished so soon, brother, father was right you are a pathetic mess."

"You're judging me, you were the who curse Kol to death." He removed the iron pike and jabbed it into Finn's stomach. "You went after my children. My babies and for that you will pay."

Before he could kill him, Elijah gripped his hand. "You didn't answer my calls."

"As you can see, I was a little busy."

"Klaus you cannot kill him." Elijah told him. "I have formed an alliance with the witches which will be beneficial, but we need the body. We need the alliance."

Suddenly Freya appeared next to them, "You should listen to him, witch alliances are powerful."

Finn whimpered. "Freya help me." Freya touched the pendant around her neck. "Don't worry, brother I won't let them hurt you." She started chanting and Vincent screamed as his body healed. Frightened eyes stared back at her. "Who are you?"

Freya made a sweeping motion. "Sleep."

Klaus blurted out. "What the hell did you do to him?"

Freya pointed to her pendant. "Finn is now safe from harm. And his hatred of you can no longer do damage to our cause."

Elijah looked at her suspiciously. "Our cause? "

Freya nodded. "Yes. Ours. And now, if you two can stop arguing long enough, perhaps you'll allow your older sister to offer you a deal."

Klaus snorted. "What could you possibly offer us besides fairy tales and lies?"

Freya narrowed her eyes, "Whenever you think of me, brother, know this- when I speak to you, it is the truth. If you have any doubts, remember that it was I who rescued Rebekah from the Cottage. "

"And was it not also you who led Finn on his vile mission to take Regina and Henrik's life?"

Freya shook her head, "The threat to your children came from Finn. Not me." she looked upset. "The brother I knew would never have stooped to threaten a child. Our mother destroyed him. Like she did me. You. Klaus. Everything she touched."

Klaus shouted. "Do not speak to me as if we're family!"

Freya grabbed a hold of each of their hands and gave them a view of when she had been taken by Dahlia at a young age, screaming for Esther. "Do you still call me a liar? If I have awoken from my slumber, Dahlia has too. She will come after your daughter, as the first born of the twins she is a Mikaelson witch. You have no idea what you are up against, I can help you. I have already sent father, Mikael for the materials."

Klaus scoffed. "You left the fate of my daughter in Mikael." He angrily stormed off and Elijah followed him. "Niklaus. This woman has knowledge of the threat we now face and is willing to share that information.

Klaus scoffed, "Well, you'll excuse me, Elijah, if I'm not inclined to trust the mysterious sister we only just met! But if you wish to entertain this idiocy, have at it." Without another word Klaus left.

Freya looked up at him. "Thank you for your kindness."

Elijah shook his head. "I believe you are my sister, but I do not trust you."

"I look forward to earning that trust."

"What?" Caroline stared at Klaus in disbelief. Klaus had just arrived from dealing with Finn and Caroline had noticed right away that something was wrong when she saw Klaus. His eyes looked wild and he looked ready to pack up the twins and Caroline to keep them somewhere safe. "We can't just leave, you told me that Freya removed Finn out of his loaner body, don't you get it. We're safe now."

"Finn or Freya are no longer our problem," Klaus hissed. "Mikael is here, he despises me and you and he will go after our son and daughter. We need to leave."

"Let him come," Caroline protested. "We will stop him, like we've done before. I'm not going to spend my life running, Klaus."

Katherine could head Klaus and Caroline fighting at the top of their lungs. Currently she was at the nursery hanging out with Regina and Henrik, the least depressing members of the family. Katherine smiled. Despite the popular belief that she was a coldhearted bitch she loved babies and the kids seemed to like her too.

Henrik and Regina were cooing in their cribs begging to be picked up. Katherine was singing to them an old Bulgarian lullaby when she heard footsteps. She turned around and saw her father. "What the hell are you doing here?"

"I came here for you, Katerina. You have been avoiding me long enough."
