⁺◟ WILD EMBERS ! ⋆·˚ ❪ ✦♥ ❫
❛ chapter five ❜

⊹₊ ⋆ EMBER HAD WOKEN SHORTY AFTER THE events at the quarry, Elijah had explained to her what had happened after Damon snapped her neck, about how Bonnie had faked her death, how Klaus had promised Elijah to be returned with his family, Ember knew there wasn't a chance in hell Klaus would do anything for Elijah any time soon, not after the stunt the original had just pulled, but she was just glad the hybrid was alive, now what she wasn't glad about was having to follow after him while Elijah cleaned up his mess.

So when Klaus finally shifted back into his normal body, Ember couldn't have been more glad.

Elijah annoyed, threw Klaue a pair of jeans and a top as the hybrid awoken. "You've been busy," said the original.

"That was amazing," Klaus said, he was practically beaming. He turned to Ember with a huge grin. "And I couldn't have done with without you," he shuffled off the ground, grabbing the trousers. "How long has it been?" he questioned the duo, more-so Elijah as Ember was stood a little further back.

"Almost two days," says Elijah. "Full moon came and went. You remained a wolf."

"I can change at will then," Klaus smirked as he fastened his belt. "That's good to know. I remember... every single kill."

"Yes, I've been cleaning up your mess," replied Elijah. Klaus turns to face him. "Just like old times, brother,"

"Well," boredly replies Elijah, passing Klaus a pair of boots. "You've had your fun. I believe we have a bargain."

"That's right," replied Klaus, taking the boots from his brother. "Now, what was it again? Oh, yeah, wait. I remember. That's it. You wish to be reunited with our family."

"You gave me your word, Niklaus."

"What kind of brother would break his bond?" Klaus questioned as he pulled his shirt over his head. "Even though you did try to kill me," he glared over his shoulder.

Elijah huffed. "I could have," he replied, giving Klaus a jacket. "But I didn't." Ember honestly couldn't help but find the whole interaction amusing as she stood a small distance away watching as though it was a movie.

"Now no one can," Klaus smirked. "Not even you." Klaus smirked at Elijah before turning to Ember. "All thanks to you, love," he gave her a warm smile. "Thank you."

Elijah watched the encounter with a strange feeling in his gut, he hadn't seen Niklaus look at someone so lovingly in centuries, not even his own family, but here he stood, looking at Ember Salvatore like he'd burn the world down for her, Elijah wasn't sure if he felt jealous, or happy that his brother finally cared for someone other than himself.

"Where are they?" the noble vampire questioned.

Klaus looked back at his brother, chuckling at the look on his face. "You need to lighten up. I'll bring you to them soon enough.

Later that night after Klaus had cleaned up any loose ends he had in Mystic Falls, the three immortals prepared to leave the boring town and reunite Elijah Mikaelson with his siblings, or, that's what he thought.

Ember walked slightly ahead of the two brothers, their conversation making her want to fall asleep, and frankly, the quicker she left Mystic Falls, the happier she would be. She pushed open Alaric's apartment door, taking her jacket off and hanging it over the door.

"Klaus, you're back," Katherine's voice came from around the corner. "Look who decided to come for a visit," she said, pulling Stefan from around the corner, both vampires eyes widening slightly as they seen who stood infront of them.

"Not quite, sweetheart," Ember replied before glancing over in her brothers direction. "What are you doing here? If you're here to try and avenge you're little girlfriend, I can assure you that won't end well."

"I'm not here about Elena," stefan says, shrugging his shoulder to the side to get Katherine's hand off, he walked closer to his sister, seeing their was zero emotion in her eyes. "It's about Damon," he states.

"Okay? Is that supposed to mean something?"

"He was bitten by Tyler Lockwood last night," Stefan tried again, attempting to get through to her emotions.

"I still don't understand why you think I care about this," Ember scoffed, pushing her so-called brother with her freshly manicured hand as she walked past him.

"He's dying, Em," Stefan said in disbelief.

"Let me stop you right there," Ember snapped, turning on her heel and pushing Stefan with more strength than before, this resulting in him falling to the floor with a thud. "You lost the right to call me that the second you stuck your pointy teeth into my neck and killed me."

Before Stefan had the opportunity to reply, not that he had anything to say. Klaus and Elijah entered Alaric's apartment, the hybrid having an amused look plastered on his face as he watched his best friend tower over her brother, Stefan shrinking back in shame, and Katerina standing on the sidelines, not having a choice but to watch. "You just keep popping up, don't you?"

Stefan pushed himself off the ground, wiping himself down as he stood tall, attempting to show that he wasn't quite literally shitting his pants. "I need your help. For my brother."

"Oh," Klaus hummed. "Whatever it is, is gonna have to wait a tic. You see, I have an obligation to my brother...that required my immediate attention."

"If I wasn't caught up on your previous actions I'd say you understood how important family was, or you wouldn't be here," Elijah said, glancing at Ember for a split moment. "Though, regardless. My brother gave me his word tbat he would reunite me with my own." he shrugged.

"And so I shall," with those words from Klaus, he shoved a dagger dipped in white oak ash into Elijah's heart. The original vampire screamed as his skin began to grey. Katherine's eyes widened and Stefan gasped, taking a step back while Ember stood, her elbows on the kitchen counter and her chin laying on her palm as she watched with amusement.

Klaus then grabbed Stefan by the throat, pushing him against the brick wall. "Now, what are we gonna do with you?"
