Julie thought it was suicidal to drive back to the Mikaelsons's manor after Rebekah told her and Elijah that Kol was on his way to kill Elena, and that in fact she was probably already dead. Sure, Alaric was dead now and there was no more danger for them in Mystic Falls. Except Damon Salvatore who won't stop until Kol is dead. Kol and probably the entire Mikaelson family.

"I promised them that Elena won't get hurt," Elijah said, angry.

"Don't make that face!" Rebekah replied. "I didn't kill her!"

"You should have told me about Kol."

Rebekah sighed and rolled her eyes. "I'm sorry that now we don't have to run from Alaric for sixty years."

"We can't kill all our problems away," Elijah said.

"Why not?" Rebekah asked. "That's what we've been doing for a thousand years. Just because now your girlfriend might disapprove we should stop defending ourselves and let our enemies take a shot at us?"

"Julie has nothing to do with this. I gave my word."

Julie rolled her eyes. It wasn't the first time they talked about her like she wasn't there. Of course, she was a little upset that Kol killed Elena. But she was also relieved that she didn't have to be on the run for the rest of her life.

"So, Elena's dead," Julie said, shrugging. "It's sad, but what's gonna be sadder is when Damon goes through that door to kill us all. And let me remind you that you can't die and that he hates me. I'm not particularly eager to die just yet so if we could, please, just leave this town!"

"Don't worry about Damon," Rebekah said. "I'll kill him if I have to."

"So, then, Stefan is going to come after us," Elijah said.

"Then, I'll kill him too," she shrugged.

"Or, we could just move to Canada."

Rebekah and Elijah turned to look at her. She was half serious.

"Look. I get that you're not afraid of them. But Damon already tried to kill me once and now I'm pretty sure I'm on his hit list again."

Elijah knew it was safer for her to leave town. If he really wanted to stay there was no choice but to kill Damon and Stefan.

"Elijah," Julie said, taking his hand. "I know you'll protect me no matter what. But I don't want to live here if I have to be afraid all the time."

Elijah sighed. "I know. What do you want me to do?" he asked. At first, she thought he wasn't really asking her. She thought he was just saying that he couldn't do anything about it. But the look in his eyes showed her that he was really asking her: should he kill Damon and Stefan or leave town?

"No killing," she answered.

A small smile appeared on his face as if he was relieved she chose that option.

"Then, we're leaving."

"I'm not going anywhere," Rebekah said. "Damon and Stefan aren't stupid enough to try and hurt us. They know if they hurt Julie we'll come at them."

"I can't take that risk," Elijah said. "I'm leaving. You can stay here if you want."

"Fine. But I want Klaus."

"Klaus?" Elijah frowned. "Why?"

"I'm not staying here alone," she told him. "Take the daggers with you. All of them. And then leave."

Their words were echoing in the entry of the house and they were interrupted by Kol.

"Leave?" he repeated. "Aren't we staying here? The Salvatores will retaliate, this will be fun," he grinned as he walked towards them.

"Julie and I are leaving," Elijah said. "You're free to stay if you want."

Kol sighed and thought about it for a while. "I seem to recall making a promise," he said with a smile. "I promised you I'd teach you magic."

Julie smiled and nodded, grateful. "Thank you."

"Then I want Nik," Rebekah insisted. "I'm not staying here alone."

"No. Niklaus needs to learn from his mistakes. If we free him now, what will be his lesson?"

"Who cares?" Rebekah said, almost shouting. "If we keep him in that box, we're no better than him."

Elijah sighed, annoyed. He felt Julie squeeze his hand and he looked down at her. He knew she wasn't comfortable with the idea of leaving Klaus dead in a coffin. "Fine," he rolled his eyes. Julie smiled and he kissed the top of her head to let her know he did it for her. "After all, you're the one who's gonna be alone with him."
