Bringing Out The Dead.

Morgana strolled up the path leading up to the Spellman household after teleporting there.

She knocked on the door before putting her hand back into her pocket. Ambrose opened the door.

"Oh, hello Morgana." Ambrose said suspiciously "What are you doing here?"

"I'm not here to harm any of you." Morgana reassured "Sabrina expects me. And good morning Ambrose, I apologise on our first meeting."

Ambrose raised an eyebrow "You really didn't know about Lucifer's plans, until the day."

She nodded "Sabrina told you?"

He nodded sheepishly "Yeah,  she told all of us. But you didn't make a stand to threaten us. So would you like to come in." 

"Thank you." She smiled as he stepped aside.

Ambrose lead the Morningstar into the kitchen.

"Hello again dear." Hilda smiled as Morgana sat down at the table.

"Hilda." Morgana smiled nodding at her.

"Morgana, pleasure." Zelda greeted with a smirk.

Hilda and Ambrose looked at Zelda shocked by her warmish greeting.

"She caught me and Sabrina on the phone in the summer." Morgana explained.

"And ever since then we occasionally have a cup of tea while having a little book club." Zelda said before turning to Morgana "I see you survived the spitting contest between the Mystic Falls gang and the Original Hybrid."

"So far." Morgana nodded sheepishly "But Elijah's back in the mix."

"Wait." Ambrose leaned forward "You've met the Noble One?"

"Yes,  and the originals aren't that bad."

"Yes well," Zelda spoke "What the younger Salvatore gets, he deserves. He shouldn't have pissed Klaus off by taking his family."

Sabrina walked into the room "Hey Morgana, you made it." She smiled.

"Sabrina." Morgana smiled.

"How's poor Nicholas doing, darling?" Hilda questioned.

"Ohh," Morgana leand her arm on the back of the chair "You separated dad from Nikki."

"Yeah," Sabrina nodded sitting down "Do you by any chance know why he's got a foot coming out of his foot?"

"Er, his malformation is probably a remnant of having Lucifer inside him." Morgana informed.

"She's right." Ambrose nodded "Given enough time, it should revert back on it's own, naturally. Possibly."

"Well, you must be so happy now that he's back in your arms, all safe and cosy?" Hilda smiled.

"And in your bed." Zelda wiggled her eyebrows as Morgana snorted "I imagine it was quite the reunion."

"All we did was talk and hold each other, that's all I'm gonna say about that." Sabrina replied.

"She's in denial." Morgana whispered playfully as Ambrose snorted smirking.

"Well, I know what we can discuss." Zelda placed her newspaper down "The sheer insolence of you going to Hell without our permission or at least without your sister to protect you. You could have been killed, you could have gotten your friends all killed. Honestly, first Purgatory, now hell."

"What's next on the agenda? Heaven?" Morgana remarked.

"Bet you missed this while you were gone," Sabrina said to Ambrose "Breakfast with a side of inquisition."

"I've never had it meself." Morgana said grasping her cup of tea "I used to have it with a whiny false sister and my poor brother was and is controlled by the sister. This is a nice change, to be honest." Morgana smiled before slipping her tea.

"Well, your welcome anytime." Hilda smiled as Zelda turned to her only nephew.

"Ambrose, as you know, we've reopened the Academy in your absence, and we're short of teachers."

"I cannot be a teacher if that's what you're asking me, auntie Zee."

"Why can't you?"

"The thing is...." Ambrose looked around nervously "My time abroad has illuminated me to everything I don't know. Magics beyond our experience and imagination. If I am to be a master of the mystic arts. I must read and research."

"Well, then. You can be the Academy's librarian." Zelda turned to Morgana "Would you be willing to teach?"

"Sorry,  Zelda." She shrugged "Between Original drama and dipping here to see you all and working at Dorian's, I can't."

"What about Cassius?" Sabrina inquired.

"Oh. He's on death's doorstep." Zelda remarked before suddenly sneezing.

"Oh, Zelda? Are you coming down with a cold?" Hilda questioned kindly.

Morgana watched the exchange hiding a smile.

Nicholas came in "Morning everyone." He froze when he spotted Morgana "Morgana."

"Nikki." She smirked.

Ambrose's eyebrows furrowed "Are those-"

"Yeah, sorry about that." Sabrina apologised standing up from her chair.

Morgana slid out of her chair "Well, do you still want to spend the day together? I don't wish to intrude on you and Nikki."

"If you don't mind?" Sabrina smiled guilty.

"Ahh, I'll just hang round with Dorian." Morgana turned to the older Spellmans "Ambrose, Hilda, Zelda."

"Cousin." Ambrose bid farewell.

"Cousin?" Morgana arched an eyebrow.

"You're Sabrina's sister,  that makes you my cousin. In my mind."

"And our niece." Zelda said as Hilda nodded.

Morgana smiled "Sister, cousin. Aunties. Nikki boy." 

Morgana patted Sabrina's shoulder as she left.

"You know your very early?" Dorian inquired "Right?"

"Yeh,  Elijah's undaggered." Morgana revealed as she came to the bar.

"What?" He questioned with a raised eyebrows.

"Niklaus. Our guests have arrived." Elijah Mikaelson said after opening the door to reveal Damon and Stefan Salvatore.

"Damon. Stefan. Elijah tells me, you seek an audience." Klaus smirked "Very bold. Let's discuss the terms of our agreement like civilized men. Shall we?"

"It's better to indulge him." Elijah advised as they moved to the dinning room.

"I didn't come here to eat, Klaus. Fact, I didn't want to come here at all." Stefan stated "But I was told I had to cause you would hear us out."

"Well, we can sit and eat or I can reach down your throats and pull out your insides. The choice is yours." Klaus smirked.

"Thank you, love." Demon smirked at the servant who poured him his wine "So, where's Morgana in all this?"

"Oh, she flew the coupe. As soon as Elijah appeared." Klaus smirked "But she'll reappear. Lost your appetite." He smirked at Stefan 

"Eat. I thought we agreed that we would leave the grumpy Stefan at home." Damon grinned making Stefan begin to eat.

"That's the spirit. Isn't it nice? The four of us dining together? Such a treat. Is this what you had in mind when you pulled the dagger from my brother?" Klaus inquired.

"Well, I know how he felt about you, so I figured the more the merrier." Damon winked at Elijah.

"Well, Elijah and I have has our fair share quarrels  over the century,  but we always make it through." 

"Kind of like you and Rebekah,  right?" Stefan mocked "Where is she by the way? Last I checked she was daggerd because you were afraid face her."

"If you're referring to the fact that Rebekah knows that killed our mother, I've already come clean to Elijah." Klaus smirked.

"Hey Stef,  remember when you kill Dad? It's a bit early for judgements." Damon stated.

"We're here to make a deal, Damon. Doesn't mean we need to kiss his ass for seven courses." Stefan scrowled.

"We have a long evening ahead of us. Pace yourself, brother."

"Stefan. Where's the lovely Elena tonight?" Elijah spoke up.

"I don't know,  ask Damon." 

Klaus laughed "I'm sorry, you've missed so much. Ah, trouble in paradise."

"One more word about Elena and this dinner's over." The younger Salvatore groweled.

Klaus put his finger to his lips.

"You know what, probably best to keep Elena in the do-not-discuss pile." Damon said.

"Your probably right." Klaus nodded "It's just the allure of the Petrova doppelgangers still so strong. What do you say brother? Should we tell them about Tatia?"

"Now why should we discuss matters long since resolved?" Elijah questioned.

"Well, given the fair shared affection for both Elena and Katerina, I think our guests might be curious to learn about the originator of the Petrova line."

"Well, we're not going anywhere, Elijah. Do tell." Damon smirked.

"When our family first settled here, there was a woman named Tatia. She was an exquisite beauty. Every boy of age desired to be her suitor even though she had a child by another man. And none loved her more than Niklaus." Elijah said.

"Oh, I'd say there was one who loved her at least as much." Klaus smirked at his brother.

" I'll mother was a very powerful witch. She sought to end our feud  Tatia and so she took her her. Klaus and I  would later learn that it was Tatia's blood that we consumed in the wine on the night where our mother perform the spell what you turned us all into vampires. Tatia couldn't make a decision between the two of us. So for a time the Niklaus and I....grew estranged. Harsh words were traded, we even came to blows, we even came to blows, didn't we brother?" 

"But in the end we realized the sacred bond of family."

"Family above all." Elijah said as the two brothers raised their glasses to each other.

"Family above all." Klaus smirked as they clinked their glasses together.

Dorian and Morgana stood behind the bar as Nicholas sat in front of them drinking drink after drink.

"I'd stop if I were you." Morgana advised as she cleaned a Irish Coffee glass.

"I don't wish to stop." Nicholas grumbled "I want pain!"

"I've known many witches who have had the Dark Lord inside them." Dorian said "They come back battered but they bounce back."

"I just desire pain." 

The two behind the bar glanced at each other before looking at the warlock before them.

"Pain?" Dorian inquired "We can help with that. Morgana?"

"Certainly,  follow me." Morgana smirked at Nikki before showing him to the room where the sex-demons worked "Have fun, Nikki."

Damon and Elijah stood in the room where the coffins were kept. Damon opened the lid of his second one to find an unfamiliar man lieing in there.

"Who's this?" Damon whispered as he looked at the original's clothes.

"Before you wake him, Damon." Elijah said "I'll warn you. Do not  give him a reason to cross you."

Damon looked at him confused.

"Don't stand against, fight or give him a reason to want you dead. Because he's worse than both my brothers Kol and Klaus put together." Elijah warned as Damon pulled the dagger out "He is the monster that monsters fear."

"Wait, even Papa Original feared him?"

"Yes." Elijah nodded.

"Elijah.....why haven't you left?" Klaus questioned as Elijah and Damon entered.

"Where are your manners, brother? We forget dessert." Elijah removed the cloth from the tray that the servant was holding.

To reveal three sliver daggers.

"What have you done?" Klaus inquired fearful.

"What have you done? You see, I've learned not to trust your vulgar promises, Klaus." He said "We're doing this on my terms now."

A dark brown haired man dressed in a 1914 party suit without the coat entered the room.

"Kol," Klaus said.

"Long time, brother." Kol smirked as he stalked forward.

Klaus began to back away only to be stabbed in the hand by the third brother dressed in clothing from 1114.

"Finn, don't!" Klaus shouted before running for the door only to freeze before a dark rich brown haired man wearing black high waisted trousers with a grey dress shirt from the '30s.

Klaus gaspped horrified "Alvaro!"

Alvaro smirked sinisterly "Brother."

Klaus's eyes widened as he gulped before forcing himself to back away from his little brother. Kol restrained him as Rebekah came speeding in and shuffed her dagger into his chest.

"You're free to go." Elijah said "This is family business."
