Chapter 24: Weird Little Race

4x19

Rebekah, Elijah, and Klaus are sitting at a table together.

"Elijah, being a human means a fresh start. I can grow old and have a family and fill my days with meaning, knowing that each one matters."

Klaus laughs.

"Well, that was poetic.""Well, if you can provide us with a more compelling reason for wanting the cure, Klaus, please.""Silas can appear as anyone. He got inside my thoughts, convinced me I was dying. He will torment me until I give him the cure.""And in doing so he will break down the wall to the Other Side.""So it doesn't trap him there when he dies. He wants to reunite with his lost soulmate." [to Elijah] "You of all lovesick fools should applaud his devotion.""He will open the floodgates for every supernatural being that has ever died.""Including our dear brothers, Kol and Finn. We'll have our family back.""Please, you hated Kol and you kept Finn in a box for most of his life.""Elijah, please.""Your personal discomfort might not be sufficient reason for putting the entire world in jeopardy, Klaus. I think our sister deserves a shot at happiness.""Tell me you're joking. Tell me you're not fating me to an eternity of torture.""I made my decision."Ophira walks in to the room, "Sweetheart what do you think about this?" Klaus asks her. "I'm not getting in the middle of your guys weird race thing." Ophira sits on the couch behind them waiting for them to finish. 

Klaus swiftly stands and leans down to speak into Rebekah's ear.

"When you're sick and dying, and you beg for my blood, I will laugh in your face and compel you to forget me."

Klaus leaves the room. Rebekah remains carefully composed as she touches her hair and clears her throat.

To Elijah. "Where is the cure?""Rebekah, it's no secret that you are impulsive, emotional, and at times morally questionable. Prove to me this isn't just another one of your whims, that you know precisely what you are giving up here.""Fine. Anything.""I want you to live a day as a human. This day. No vampire privileges-- no strength, no compulsion, no nothing. If you succeed, if you still believe this is what you want, the cure is yours."

Rebekah is surprised, but releases the tension in her body with resignation and accepts the challenge.

When Rebekah left Ophira got up to talk to Elijah, "So I had this dream and I feel like I should tell someone."

"What happened in this dream?" Elijah asked.

"I saw flashes of a girl with Klaus, and you, me and Bekah, I don't know what it means but somethings coming."

"And when it comes will be ready." Elijah said putting his hand supportively on the sides of her arms. 

Later...

Klaus enters the room and sees a folded letter propped against a glass decanter with "Klaus" written on the front. 

"Oh yeah that came for you." Ophira points out to him.

He picks it up, turns it over, and sees that it has a wax seal with the letter "K" imprinted on it. He opens it and reads it.

It read:

'Klaus, 

I hear Elijah has refused you the cure and in return, you have refused me my freedom. Shame on you both. But while you boys sort out your problems, I have one last thing to offer you. I've caught wind that there is a witch in New Orleans named Jane-Anne Deveraux plotting a move against you. Hunt her down. What she has to say will rattle you so deeply to your core that chasing little old me will be the least of your concerns. It's been a fun five centuries, Klaus, but I've worn down too many good heels running from you. 

Love, and hate, Katerina.'

"What's it say?" Ophira asks.

"Sweetheart pack your pack your bags were going back to New Orleans."
