Catch Me If You Can.

Damon, Jeremy and Matt gazed brows furrowed in shock at the dead bodies crowding the bar "I was beginning to think you lot wouldn't find the place."


The three looked towards the origin of the voice filled with amusement, to find Klaus sat at the bar, drink in hand between two dead men on the counter.

He smirked, dipping back his drink as Jeremy whispered quietly, eyes trailing over the bodies "What the hell?"

Matt gestured to the around the bar as he asked in disbelief "Did you kill all these people?"

"Not exactly, and not...alone." he smirked while the three narrowed their eyes at him before Damon sighed, dreading his oncoming question "And where exactly is your play mate?"

"Behind you." He looked over their shoulders with a wicked smirk, before they turned to find Caliban leaning against the door frame, decked out in black leather and velvet, his golden medieval coat making him stand out.

"Who are you?" Matt questioned, looking over him with confusion.

"Caliban, Morningstar." He looked over the three, before smirking at the hybrid "And as for your other question, they're in transition. Killing them is your job-" his gaze flickered to Jeremy's "-hunter."

"You said you were going to convince Klaus to do this another way." Jeremy glared at Damon as Caliban walked towards the bar, where Klaus slid a drink towards him.

"Well, I thought about it." Damon replied, staring at the blonde duo while they smirked as Klaus handed the demon a drink "And then, I realized...their idea was better."

The two chuckled, Caliban drowned his whiskey as Klaus smirked proudly while the two mortals looked over the bar, the soon-to-be vampires began to stir.

"No way." Jeremy protested, glaring at the duo in anger "I'm not doing this."

"What makes you think you have a choice?" Klaus tilted his head as Caliban arched his eyebrows before stating "You have to kill vampires to complete the mark, mortal."

"Mark equals cure, Jeremy." Damon reminded "You're in a bar full of almost vampires, so get your hunt on."

"Screw you. You said I wouldn't have to kill any innocent people."

"Jeremy. They're not people."

"Enough." Caliban growled, making the two turned their heads to look at him as Klaus stood up "Have at it, or else."

"I don't take orders from you, or you, dick." Jeremy glared between the two different blondes, throwing the stake he was holding to the floor "Hunter's can't be compelled."

Caliban chuckled before Klaus stated "You're right, I can't compel you. But if your conscious is getting in the way, then allow us to make it easier for you."

"Because while you are immune to his compulsion, he can compel them." Caliban gestured around the bar, as a few mortal moved around them, feeding the new vampires who were waking up "Now, we're going to give you a head start. You have two minutes, until every vampire in here is sent after you. You kill them or, they kill you friend."

"Matt." Klaus smirked.

"Whoa, wait a second." Matt protested.

"No, no, no." Damon protested "You turn them, he kills them. That was the deal Klaus. Caliban."

The lighter blonde grinned, laughing as Klaus smirked in amusement "We're taking an artistic license."

"You know he can't take them all on at the same time."

"With you as his coach, he'll be fine." The original smirked, glancing at the football jock "It's Matt I'm worried about."

Damon sighed in defeat, narrowing his eyes at the demon and hybrid duo "Jeremy, go get the weapons from the car, I'll be right behind you." Jeremy moved "Both of you."

"If we hear an engine start, I'll kill Matt myself!" Klaus yelled in warning after the two while Caliban smirked evily.

"How did it go?" Alvaro questioned curiously as Morgana joined him on the sofa, in the Mikaelson Mansion, he placed an arm around her as she lay her head against his chest "What did they say, to having a grandchild on the way?"

"Dad and mum were overjoyed." She smiled slyly causing him to chuckle in relief "But we all suspect that my, celestial blood allowed you to procreate."

"So," his brows furrowed "celestial blood could like, breath life into a sperm or into a egg of a undead person."

She humed "I guess it makes sense. Celestial or infernal blood is...peculiar, and well..."

"Ssh," he stroked her arm "it's ok. I get the gist your sending, you should rest. Your scheming and the baby's taking a toll on you."

She narrowed her eyes, brows furrowing before sitting up and looked him in the eye "I haven't been up to anything. I've attended to Hell-"

"From a distance." Alvaro pointed out "Telling the family was first, Hell was second. They'll wonder where their young queen is."

"Really?" She arched an eyebrow.

"Because that's what I'd do," he shrugged, before caressing her stomach.

"You've got to be kidding." The two turned their heads to find Klaus looking at them in disbelief "She's not-your not...It's impossible."

"Apparently not with celestial blood involved." Morgana said as Alvaro sloughed back on to the sofa "How does uncle Nik sound, to you?"

He laughed, a smile breaking on to his face, sitting down on the armchair next them "How far long are you, love?"

"11 almost 12 weeks, more if one stays in Hell for a time." She said.

"Does..."

"Lillith, Lucifer and you know, everyone else are in the dark so far." Alvaro grinned "I can't wait to see our brothers and sister's faces."

"Uncle Nik," Klaus lay back into the sofa, a dreamy smile on his lips "has a nice ring to, don't you think?"

The couple grinned before all of their faces dropped at the sound of a car stopping outside. They looked at each other before looking towards the entrance, Morgana curled into Alvaro.

Who pulled the blanket around them, eyes narrowed as a low growl settled in his throat, instinct to protect his love and child kicking.

Elena walked in, stopping before them. Standing before the lit fire. And spewed out new information about the present day events.

"A bit ironic, you coming to me for help. Weren't your friends just trying to bury me in a cement tomb?" Klaus questioned with a raised eyebrow, slight amusement in his tone.

"This is your fault. You started this when you forced Jeremy to kill those vampires." She said.

"And now my little brat of a brother and his girlfriend has gone and made things worse." Klaus said "Well, he never did like Damon. I suppose I should do something, shouldn't I?"

"Call him off, Klaus." Elena demanded.

Alvaro cackled "You really have the nerve, no audacity to come in my-our home and demand to have your way. Do you want a repeat of your...surgery Elena, I'm more than happy to...open you up again."

"My brother is right," Klaus nodded, hiding his confusion to what his brother meant about opening Elena up again, then again Alvaro didn't specify how he had killed her "you are in no position to make demands, love. Whilst I'd like to cure you to make more hybrids, I do have other reasons for finding the cure, not the least of which is destroying it so you lot can't use it against me."

"Whatever our differences, we want the same thing." The three raised an eyebrow at her "Please, Klaus. I'm begging you."

Klaus sighed tempestuously before pulling out his phone "Little brother. Just three days home, and I'm told you've already gone and made a mess."

"Come on, Nik. I was only having some fun."

"Those vampireswere for my hunter."

"I'll make some more. There's no shortage of people."

"Where's Damon Salvatore?" Klaus questioned into the phone.

"I gave him a good and proper beating, just for old time's sake." Kol said over the phone, as Alvaro sighed before stepping in "Well, you've had your fun, Kol. Now let him go, and come home."

"Avoid anymore trouble, or you'll find yourself back in a box." Klaus warned.

"Hey. No need to be nasty about it. Alvaro, tell him he can't do it. Please." He whined to his older brother.

"On the contrary," Klaus said "I find nastiness to be essential whenever my siblings try to sabotage me. Listen closely, Kol. Stay away from the Gilbert boy, you understand?"

"Fine. I won't touch him, you have my word." He hung up.

"Now," Alvaro looked pointedly at the doppelganger "would you kindly get out of our house before I have you forcibly removed."

"If you're going to kill me," Damon spat as he shoved the wood further into himself "do it like a man."

"I don't wanna kill you," Kol walked forward "I just want to make sure you can be compelled."

"I'm gonna rip out your spleen." Damon smirked.

"You ought to be thanking me," the Original chuckled "You don't really want the cure to be found, you fancy Elena. I mean even more now, that she's a vampire. Admit it." He walked around the vampire "The last vestige of her humanity," he kneeled down to Damon's level "is her annoying little brother Jeremy. And deep, deep down I bet you want him dead." He tilted his head "Don't you?"

"Nope." Damon struggled out "Anyway, won't you lose our mutual friend?"

Kol chuckled, smirking at him "Morgana's playing both sides, haven't you noticed. You can't deceive her. Anyway." He clapped his shoulder "You're lying."

He got to his feet, backing away with a wicked grin "I bet you'd love to rip his head off, and I'm gonna give you your wish."

He walked forward, kneeling down to Damon's level and looked him in the eyes "You're not gonna remember what I say, but you're going to find Jeremy Gilbert, and when you do. You're going to kill him."

He pulled the wood out of Damon's chest after standing up right, he threw the wood to the floor "Now, run along."

And he did, Kol turned watching him go as a chuckle licked his ears "Playing both sides huh?"

Kol smiled turned to face Morgana "Well, you play them on anyway." He narrowed his eyes at a faint heartbeat entering his ears, he gazed at her stomach "That can't be my brother's child, I can hear?"

"Yes it is, Kol." Morgana smiled "Will you come home now? Alvaro may not admit it, but he wants his brother where he can see him."

"I'll be home soon." He smiled "I promise."

Later that day, Alvaro and Morgana were in their room, sat on the bed. The Morningstar was flickering though Netflix as the Mikaelson went through a few of his old books.

"I think this will be a brilliant bedtime story for the baby." He said, drawing her attention.

"What?"

"Around The World In Eighty Days." He grinned, handing it to her "Oh, it was a great laugh, when I first read it. Forgot I had it actually."

"Can I borrow it," she questioned looking from the book after reading the blurb "it seems interesting."

He nodded before kissing her On the head "Of course."

"You'd really dagger me?" Kol's voice entered Alvaro's ears, making his head turn to the door.

"What is it?"

"Stay here. Please." He asked before rushing to his feet, running out of the room, as she watched him go with concern before placing a hand on her belly "Come on, let's make daddy doesn't get himself into trouble."

"Kol!" Klaus growled breaking Kol and Rebekah apart as Alvaro came up to them as Prudence, Ambrose and Morgana followed onwards to the scene.

"I won't let you raise Silas." Kol said.

"Enough of this foolishness." Klaus said sternly, gesturing to the White oak stake in Kol's hand "Put it down, brother."

Kol glared at him before looking at Alvaro and Morgana "This is for the baby." He gave his older brother a red stuffed, fluffy fox before vamp-running off.

"He was going to kill me!" Rebekah gasped in shock.

"Well, then, I think you need a lesson in how to dagger a sibling." Klaus said in a light joking manner.

"Burn in hell." Rebekah spat before leaving herself."
