Chapter 19: I've Taken Up Archery

4x10

Gilbert Lake House

Klaus appears.

"What the hell are you doing here?""I'm simply appreciating the sights and smells of nature, neither of which presently include rotting vampire flesh, so I'm a bit concerned. How many vampires has he killed?""If we throw Jeremy out into the real world right now, he's chum.""Yeah, see, that's not a number. Twelve. That's a number. That's how many of my hybrids I slaughtered with my sword. Three. That's how many days it took to quell the urge to kill your brother after he knowingly watched as I walked into a death trap. One. That's the number of purposes you serve. You are here to grow Jeremy's mark, so I'll ask again...How many vampires has he killed since he's been here?""Zero." Klaus smirks."That's a pity. I'm going to need that cure sooner rather than later. Hybrid shortage and all. How can I help?" Damon picks up the gun."You know, now that you mention it...Jeremy, watch and learn." He shoots Klaus with wooden bullets. Klaus leans against a tree, grunting from pain, and looking angrily at Damon."That's for Carol Lockwood."Ophira appears behind Damon with her bow and arrow and shoots Damon in the back twice. Then she walks right through Jeremy Gilbert. They all look confused. "New Astral projection spell I can interact with you can't interact with me." She walks over the Klaus and telekinetically pulls out the wooden bullets. "When did you learn archery?" Klaus asks. "Well with all your dates with Caroline I've picked up a few hobbies besides archery I now do ballet." Ophira answers."Well you will have to show me some time.""Maybe so Kol is back in town and I'm going to go to the school with him and Rebekah and make sure they don't kill the doppleganger.""Is there anything I can do to stop you?" He asks."No.""Then stay safe.""Ok bye." Ophira says as she kisses him on the cheek then disappears. 

The Highschool

Kol walks in.

"Sister...Look at this! You're even worse than Klaus.""Kol, finally. Did you bring what I asked for?"

Kol shoves Shane into the libaray.

"You must be Shane.""And," Kol says as Ophira runs into the room hugging Rebekah. "Look at you, you have grown."Ophira smiles and says. "Now I want to know what this Professor Atticus Shane knows."

Kol shoves Shane into a custodial closet, Rebekah and Ophira close behind them.

"Kol and Rebekah Mikaelson...two members of the Original vampire family. That means you Ophira Hightower the adopted daughter of Klaus Mikaelson, the Last Hightower witch. This is such a trip."Ophira smiles, "Finally someone who actually knows witch history."

Rebekah tries to compel him. "Where's the cure?"

"Compulsion won't work. It's a little trick I picked up in Tibet.""Right. Well, we'll just have to do this the old-fashioned way."

Kol smiles. "Motus," Ophira said pushing Shane against the wall. 

Elsewhere in the school, Kol tortures Shane in the custodial closet.

"WHERE IS THE CURE?!" Kol shoves Shane's head into a sink filled with water, holding him there for several seconds. Kol yanks Shane's head back up, and Shane gasps for air."Where is the cure?"

Shane is breathing heavily and doesn't reply. Rebekah walks in. Smirking, Kol shoves Shane under again.

Kol yanks Shane up, and Shane is gasping for air.

"You're human. Why do you want it anyway?""That's the beauty of this. You can have it. I just want Silas." Ophira's head perks up from reading her grimoires remembering that name.

Kol holds Shane up by his shirt.

"No. What do you know about Silas?""He's the world's first immortal being, who just happens to be imprisoned with the cure...and I want to free him.""No!" Kol shoves Shane under the water again. In the lab, April's coughing worsens and Bonnie notices."April?" April grabs her throat, trying to breathe."What's happening?""Stop!"

Kol brings Shane back up for air. Kol lets go of Shane.

"He's of no use dead.""Did you not just hear what he said? Silas will kill us all, sister.""Hightower Witches have feared Silas as far as my grimoires go." Ophira explains."Silas does not exist. He is a-a fairytale made up to scare children into eating their vegetables.""Silas is very real. I know where he's buried, and soon I will have the spell that wakes him.""Wait not without." Ophira mutters to herself."Wait a second, you're lying. You can't get to him.""Without his tombstone? Dozens to die in a blood sacrifice? Believe me, I know. I've done it. Those massacres are a pain to engineer.""You're the one who got the council blown up.""It was a noble sacrifice...and temporary, because once I raise Silas, Silas will raise the dead. He will bring back every last soul who died on his behalf.""They say the Mikaelson's are psychopaths." Ophira again mutters to herself.

Kol picks up a thin metal pipe and drives it through Shane's stomach.

"No!" Rebekah yells Shane is still lying lifeless on the ground."You should be thanking me.""You killed my only chance at finding the cure.""Silas on the loose would be hell on Earth. Frankly, sister, I don't think you could handle it." Kol pulls out the white oak stake."How did you get that?""Way too easily."

Kol walks out of the closet, leaving an angry Rebekah to follow him out. Shane's eyes open.

Kol grabs Ophira and speeds her to the Mikaelson Mansion.

She sees a women standing in the foyer. "Did you compel my nanny," Ophira asks Kol.

"Yes but Klaus should be back tomorrow."

Kol speeds off leaving Ophira with a compelled nanny, "Wow you people are so mature." Ophira rolls her eyes and went up stairs.
