AN: So I actually haven't seen the recent episodes of The Originals so I don't know much except what I've seen from Tumblr and clips. When I found out Klaus got daggered, I knew I wanted something like this to happen and so I wrote it. Whatever is wrong from the show is wrong because I don't know a lot so just know that. Sorry if it's a little rough.

Elijah is the last to leave the room holding Klaus in a coffin. Klaus had gotten too out of control. Elijah needs to clean up some things before he can let Klaus wake again. Although Rebekah and Marcel believe we may never be able to do that, Klaus will come around for Hope, for her to have a family, one we never had, Elijah thinks to himself with one last glance to the coffin.

Later that night on Klaus' second day of being daggered, while everyone else is gone or sleeping, Klaus' hand moves. The fingers bend and wiggle for a moment then stop. Then his arm lifts and bends, hand clasping the dagger in his chest. He slowly pulls it out and his eyes shoot open,

flashing dark yellow. Klaus sits up and looks around. He quietly climbs out of the coffin. He stares at the dagger in his hand with a smile. So Kol's plan actually worked, he thinks. Good for you little brother, too bad the others didn't wait for you to be brought back before they tried it. They always seem to underestimate me at the worst times. He tucks the dagger into his pocket. Time to leave my siblings a surprise.

The next morning when Elijah walks into the center of the compound he finds 4 legs propped together in a teepee shape in the center of the room.

"Rebekah!" he calls. He hears a groan before she makes her way out.

"What do you….What is that?" Rebekah asks as she walks in and sees the set up.

"That's what I was hoping you would tell me," he replies.

"This wasn't here last night and I haven't heard anything," she says. They both look at each other and walk towards the pile. Rebekah pokes at it with her high heel and the legs tumblr over. In between the legs there's a heart with a dagger through it, a White Oak ash dagger. Elijah flashes to the room across the house as Rebekah follows. Klaus' coffin is closed when they get there. There's four arms propped against it, all with the pointer finger pointing up but one that is holding the other dagger. Rebekah and Elijah look at each other. Elijah steps forward and slowly lifts up the top of the coffin. Inside there's two heads, the owners of the limbs. They vaguely recognize them as a werewolf in Hayley's pack and a vampire friend of Marcel's, both who look slightly like the two people.

"That's not possible," Rebekah states.

"Go check on Hope," Elijah orders. Rebekah looks worried and hurries off. Elijah looks around the room for the dagger used on Klaus, but doesn't find it. Rebekah comes in soon after with Hayley following, holding Hope.

"What is happening?" Hayley asks. Elijah gestures to the coffin. Hayley's face pales.

"That's not possible. Where is he? Did someone take him? Is this a message from Dahlia?" she asks.

"This is a message from Niklaus. Somehow, the dagger didn't keep him down and this is his way of saying he doesn't need the daggers anymore. He's going to get us in a different way," Elijah gestures to the look alike heads. Hayley realizes who they are.

"I have to tell Jackson," she goes to leave.

"You aren't leaving until we figure out where Niklaus is," Elijah stops her.

"Hope's with me, he's not going to hurt his daughter," Hayley argues.

"You don't know that. Even I don't know how he'll react at this point," Elijah says.

"Guys there's something with the dagger," Rebekah interrupts them and grabs the arm with the dagger. She pries the hand open and grabs the dagger along with a paper.

She opens it and reads it aloud, "Should've waited to get Kol back before you used that. Good luck. You're not the only one with witches."

"What does that mean?" Hayley questions.

"It means Davina might not have known something about the dagger and Klaus knew it wouldn't work," Rebekah answers.

"What's that last part? Ouch," Hayley yelps the last word. Hope smashes her arms against Hayley's chest. Hayley tries to get her to stop, but she just keeps hurting her. Rebekah reaches to help her, but then Hope starts to change. It looks as if she's melting...into a doll. Rebekah steps back in shock and Hayley looks at the fake doll in her hands that seconds ago was her daughter.

"I believe that is what Klaus meant, that he has witches on his side to do what he needs," Elijah says bitterly.

"He took my daughter!" Hayley yells. Hayley chucks the doll across the room, smashing things, and goes to storm out.

"Hayley wait for a moment, we need to find her as soon as possible, we can't do that against Nik if we go in blind," Rebekah tries to reason. Hayley throws her a glare, but doesn't leave the room, she just paces.

"Rebekah, you get Freya, do a tracking spell or whatever you need and make sure this wasn't Dahlia that took Hope coincidentally when Klaus got free. Also tell Marcel what's happening. Hayley tell Jackson what happened and gather your wolves, don't do anything until I find you, make sure Klaus doesn't get to any of them in retaliation. Tell me if you find anything," Elijah orders before heading off. Rebekah and Hayley follow with one last glance at the coffin and the doll.

Klaus cradles Hope to his chest as he walks through the cemetery. It doesn't take him long to find Dahlia, but then again maybe she wants him to find her now that he has Hope with him. He walks into the crypt he knows she's in.

"It's funny isn't it? People would think I'd be the one to do my evil in cemeteries, yet I always find that it's the witches," he greets the dark haired woman. She doesn't seem surprised, just keeps crushing herbs in the bowl in front of her.

"Have you come to kill me?" she asks not looking up, although she probably knows the answer.

"No, at least not yet, it seems I have others to deal with right now," Klaus smirks. Hope wriggles in his arms so he moves and adjust his hold on her so her head's cradled on his shoulder. Dahlia looks up at the baby.

"Yes I can see that," she grins. Klaus walks further into the crypt until he's only a few feet from Dahlia.

"What is it you want with my daughter?" Klaus asks.

"I want to help her," Dahlia stands.

"I'm going to need more than that, you screwed up Freya magnificently," he replies.

"Your daughter is a first born of my family's line, she will need help controlling her magic, even more so because she's a hybrid. I can help her. Freya wouldn't get over the betrayal of her mother or the loss of her brother. With Hope, you'll be allowed to stay with her," Dahlia states.

"Allowed. It's either she's with me or nothing. I won't follow the whims of my mother's family again," Klaus says.

"I will not obey you," Dahlia counters.

"You don't have to, but you will not go against me and I will not go against you. You will be welcome to stay with Hope and I as you wish, do what you need to, but if you try to take my daughter from me, you won't last," he warns. she looks at him, thinking a moment.

"I will not take your daughter from you. I will stay with you, as close as I need to. You won't interfere with what I do. And if you try to get rid of me, you won't last," she repeats his words. Klaus stares her down for a second and then smiles.

"Wonderful, now I assume you're making something for Freya," he nods to the bowl.

"Yes. She's using your brother Finn, even though he won't trust me, she can't use him," she replies.

"Knowing my brother, she'll be with Rebekah now trying to track me and Hope. I'll be able to do what you need," Klaus states. Dahlia sits back on the ground and continues mixing in the bowl.

"They'll try and take Hope back from you when you take her," she responds.

"I didn't go through all the trouble of actually finding a witch without threats to make sure the dagger wouldn't work and the doll could pass as Hope just to let them take her back, no matter how short the time. That's why she'll be here with you," Klaus informs her. Dahlia looks up at Klaus suspiciously.

"Right now I'd rather her be with you than them," Klaus explains though they both don't trust each other.

"Give me 10 minutes and this will be ready," she replies. While Klaus waits he sets up an area for Hope near Dahlia. When Dahlia is done she stands with a small jagged knife made of what looks like clay.

"You know what to do with this I presume?" Dahlia asks. Klaus nods in the affirmative and grabs it when Dahlia hands it to him. Then he turns and walks to the crypt entrance. He turns back to her as he reaches it.

"With all that power you're able to resurrect someone correct?" Klaus asks.

"Possibly if all goes as planned," she answers knowing who he means. Klaus grins and leaves.

Freya and Rebekah are joined by Hayley and Jackson after they settle their wolves. Marcel goes to find Davina. They are trying another spell when Elijah arrives.

"Hayley what are you doing here?" Elijah asks.

"I wasn't going to sit waiting for you Elijah. She's my daughter and I will help bring her back," Hayley growls.

"I don't know what Klaus did, but I'm not having any luck tracking Hope. Nothing's even coming through," Freya exclaims. Both her and Rebekah look frustrated and slightly worried.

"Niklaus wouldn't kill his own daughter," Elijah states.

"Why thank you for your faith in me Elijah, it's just too bad it's a little too late," a voice says from across the room. All five of them spin and find Klaus leaning against the wall.

"I'm disappointed. Hayley and Jackson are children, so I understand. Rebekah is still getting used to her renewed power, but Freya and Elijah, old age must be getting to you two," Klaus grins.

"Where's my daughter you bastard?" Hayley yells and flashes toward him, trying to attack. Klaus easily grabs her by the throat and hold her against the wall. The others go to step forward.

"Un uh uh," Klaus tsks, "one more move and you lose them both."

Klaus' claw tips embed in the skin of her chest quickly. They all stop.

"Niklaus where is Hope?" Elijah asks.

"Oh she's fine big brother. She's safe with someone for now," Klaus answers. Hayley goes to knock him away, but his claws just go deeper to her heart.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you. Although those kills earlier were wonderful, it seems that being daggered doesn't agree with me and you are of no use any longer. Know your place little wolf," he warns.

"If you kill her, Hope will hate you forever," Jackson points out.

"True...but I think I could live with that," Klaus shrugs.

"Dahlia will find Hope, she can't be left with just anyone," Freya tries to reason.

"She wasn't just left with anyone and don't act as if you have my daughter's best interests at heart. If any of the others had been thinking properly they would've realized, you don't take your best chance and lock them up. You though, I knew you would try and get me out of the way, thought you could be the key to this side, lucky for me I knew why the dagger wouldn't work so I just had to plan and wait. You should've known not to bet against me sister," Klaus spits out the label, "Sadly you're all on the losing side now." In a split second, Klaus snaps Hayley's neck, knocks out Jackson and pins Rebekah to a wall with a table leg in her stomach. Rebekah tries to use magic to push it out, but Klaus grabs another leg.

"Sorry little sister," Klaus shoves the leg through her hand. Elijah flashes to pin Klaus, but Klaus flashes to Freya.

"Help her, I have him," Freya nods.

"Oh but you don't," Klaus flashes behind her pulling the clay knife from his pocket. Klaus stabs her through the heart and lets go. Freya gasps. Elijah finishes pulling out the legs and healing Rebekah. The clay knife slowly starts to dissolve. Klaus sticks something in his pocket and winks at Elijah. Elijah quickly grabs his arm and goes to pin him down.

"Oh Elijah, I do hope Dahlia doesn't kill Hope by the time I get back to them," Klaus states. Elijah falters from shock. Klaus knocks him away and speeds out. Elijah gathers himself just in time to catch Freya as she faints.
