"Klaus!" Is how I was rudely yelled awake from my peaceful sleep in the middle of the night. I sighed before debating whether I should get up or not.

"Get out here and tell me what you've done with our brother, you narcissistic, back-stabbing wanker!" A voice, which I identify and Bekah's, hollers through the house. Excited to see my little sister for the first time since I left Mystic Falls, I get up and go downstairs.

"Enough with all the shouting. Little sister, I should have known. I assume the six dead vampires were your doing?" I heard Klaus say as he comes out from where ever he was. I don't know, I was sleeping.

"They were very rude. Trying to victimize a poor, innocent girl just trying to find her way to the Quarter. So sorry, were they friends of yours? Oh, that's right, you don't have any friends." She retorts and I snorted as I walked down the stairs. My dear sister Rebekah was a lot of things, innocent, however, is not one of them.

"I do have friends. I have Marcel. You remember him, don't you? Yes, of course you do. He fancies himself the 'King of the Quarter' now, and he has these rules about killing vampires. It'll be fun to see what sort of punishment he comes up with for you." He tells her, amused. Ouch.

"I don't care about Marcel or his rules. Elijah doesn't welch on deals. What did you do to him?" What is she on about? I saw him just before I went to went out to party.

"Niklaus that was a low blow even for you." I scolded as I reached the living room. "Little sister was it really nessicary to interuped my sleep?" I turned my head to my sister, smiling happily at the sight.

"Lex? Your here? With him?" She asks surprised before saying, "I don't even know why I'm surprised."

"Where else would I be when my family needs me? Besides, you know are never apart for long because where the one goes, the other follows." I tell her and I see guilt flash through her eyes before she comes over and hugs me.

"Where's Elijah?" Bekah asks pulling away and I furrowed my eyebrows. Why would she ask that? This is the second time she asked this question.

"Perhaps he's on holiday... or taking a long autumn nap upstairs. Well, go on. Take a look around." Realization hits me like a truck as I processed Nik's words but I still hoped I was wrong.

"Nik, please tell me you didn't do what I think you did?" I asked, glaring at him and the moment I see his face I knew, he did it again.

"YOU DAGGERED HIM?!?!" I shouted in outrage and Nik looks a little afraid as he gulps. My wrath is legandary and much worse than my twin's.

"It was nessicary." He replies quickly.

"Nessicary? No, it was not." I glared at him, before talking a deep breath. "Where is he?" I asked my best friend.

"I'm afraid I can't tell you that." He tells me and I narrow my eyes at him. "Take a look around if you must. Rebekah, you remember this house as well as I and you too Lex." He says tauntingly and I glare him again.

"I remember everything. I remember how the drunken fool of a governor hid away all of our vampire sins in exchange for gold. I remember the lavish parties the governor threw, as if to impress you. I remember finding a moment of affection with the governor's son, Emil. And I remember that even Elijah. And you couldn't stand it, so you took it away." She tell him with an attitude.

"Well, he wasn't good enough for you." He replies smoothly and I roll my eyes at him.

"Oh, the nerve of you sometimes, I swear." I said with a huff, my tone was disapproving and it was directed towards my twin, who adverted his gaze to Rebekah.

"No one was ever good enough for me, Nik, you made sure of that." My blonde sister tells him bitterly. "*Now where is Elijah?" Bekah asks Nik but his phone started buzzing before he could answer.

"Where are you going?" I questioned my twin brother as he got ready to leave.

"It appears the night is not quite over, yet. I'm off for another drink with Marcel." He answers and I roll my eyes. Of course is his.

"Elijah told me about your plan to take apart Marcel's empire piece by piece. I don't remember it involving you two drinking New Orleans dry together." Rebekah states sarcastically.

"I know you don't have many friends, Rebekah, but what some friends do when they get together is they drink. And when they drink, they tell secrets. Marcel has somehow found a way to control the entirety of witches in the Quarter, and I aim to uncover the 'how' so I might take it for myself. Finding Elijah didn't make my to-do list today." He states and I sped towards him and whacked him across the head.

"I love you, Nik, but right now you are a pain in my ass." I tell him and he turns around to leave.

"Sorry Lex." He apologized to me but I just waved him off. I know he'll let Elijah out eventually, but I'm still going to be angry at him for a while. "Oh, and welcome home, little sister." He says to Rebekah as he leaves. I turned around, seeing Hayley on sitting on the stairs.

"You, wolf girl. I'm going to search this house inch by inch until I find what my evil brother has done to my good one. You're helping." Rebekah orders the pregnant girl and I laughed softly at my sister. We Mikaelson's sure are a demanding bunch.

"I'm gonna go shower and get dressed, then I'll join you." I said while starting to walk upstairs. I knew we probably wouldn't find Elijah but it was worth a try.

"You think Klaus killed him." I heard Hayley say to Rebekah and I let out a quiet chuckle as I made my way to the duo. She obviously doesn't know much about us.

"We can't be killed, silly girl. That doesn't stop Klaus from finding ways to torture us. He has a set of mystical silver daggers. One in the heart sends us into a deep slumber. Klaus gets his jollies from keeping us in a box, until he decides to pull the dagger out. Lex was righy, that must be what he's done to Elijah. This one's mine." Bekah informs the werewolf sadly.

"He keeps your coffin on standby." Hayley states in a disgusted tone and I rolled my eyes. People just love you judge my twin before getting to know him and it pissed me off.

"He likes to be prepared for when his family members inevitably disappoint him. Elijah's isn't here - he must've stashed him elsewhere. The only one who has not ever been daggered is Lex." I heard Bekah tell the pregnant wolf as I got closer to them.

"Really? He doesn't ever dagger her?" She asks, her surprise obvious in her voice.

"More like he can't. I'm half-werewolf like him, remember?" I commented with a snort. "You really think with my attitude he wouldn't have?" I ask myself from my place on the stairs and Bekah chuckles.

"I feel sick." Hayley states in disgust and I rolled my eyes once again.

"They usually deserved it." I defended my twin. Just like I always do for him and just like he always does for me. There really is nothing better that having a twin.

"Welcome to the family, love. You should've run the second you realized Elijah was gone." Bekah tells her and I shook my head in amusement.

"Yeah, well, the witches have put some sort of hex on me. As long as I'm carrying this baby, I can't leave New Orleans. If I do, they kill me." Hayley states and my anger flares as I narrowed my eyes at the nearest wall.

"Something which I'm still highly pissed about. I don't like people threating my family." I state with a scowl on my face before looking at Hayley. "Don't worry, you'll be out of that spell long before the baby is born. I promise you." I told her and Bekah glanced at me in shock. I never make promises.

"Well, knowing Klaus, he's planning a box for you the second you give birth to whatever's cooking in your tum. I'm leaving as soon as I find Elijah. Being daggered in a box for decades sucks, trust me. You'd best find a way to break that hex and run." Bekah says, recovering from her shock, and she leaves to search else where and I follow her.

"Where are you going?" I questioned her, walking slightly behind her.

"To see that witch Elijah to me about. Sohpie Deveraux." She answers and I nodded. We walking in silence for a while before I spoke again.

"You know I don't believe that." I said to her as I caught up to her a started walking beside her.

"Believe what?" She asked, turning her head to me and looking slightly confused.

"That he'll put her in a box." I answered in a 'duh' tone.

"Of course you don't." She deadpanned. "You've never been daggered." She added on with a huff.

"Maybe not," I agreed. "But I've spent the last 1000 years by his side, I know him." I told her seriously.

"Even after he daggered Elijah, again, you continue to defend him. Why?" She asks angrily, stopping and turning to me.

"Because he's my twin and because I swore a vow. Always and Forever. We all did." I told her, just a angrily. My protective side comes out very quickly when it comes to my twin.

"Yeah, well, like I said to Elijah, consider this me calling take backs." She tells me, her tone childish and she shrugged. "The second o find Elijah, I'm gone. I don't facing ending up in a box again.

"I know he's put you in a box more times than you and count and I know he took your love and happiness away just as much but if you turn your back on your family, it makes you no better than him." I tell her before I speed of to Rousseau's to talk to Sophie Deveraux, Rebekah not far behind me.
