"How long?"

"Long. It gets better. Show her, Ric." Damon said.

Alaric shined his flashlight on a wall above. "Names. They're not native. They're written in Runic, a Viking script."

"Vikings?"

"This name here, I translated it and it reads Niklaus." Alaric said and pointed his flashlight at a name.

"Klaus."

"And Elijah, and Rebekah."

"Careful, Rebekah. That blade in your hand is sharp." Imogen warned the blonde Mikaelson.

Rebekah smiled at her dearest friend. "Not to worry, dear Imogen."

Imogen stood beside Rebekah Mikaelson, who was using a knife to carved her name in Runic in a cave wall. Klaus was standing behind Imogen, watching while holding a burning wooden torch.

"Rebekah, let me have at it!" Klaus said.

"Quiet, Niklaus! I am to have more concentration if I am not to slice off a finger." Rebekah scolded her older brother.

"Father will not like you handling the blade."

"If I want to wield a blade, I shall wield a blade! Father need not know."

"He will find out. He always does." Klaus quietly said.

"That is because you always tell him."

"Rebekah!" Imogen scolded the younger Mikaelson.

The blonde smiled apologetically.

"I cannot help it he frightens me." Klaus said as he looked down.

Imogen gently placed a comforting hand on Klaus' arm. Klaus looked at the beautiful noirette and smiled softly at her.

Rebekah smiled sadly at the two. "He frightens us all."

"That's why we stick together as one, always and forever." Imogen said as she tightly held Klaus' and Rebekah's hand.

Rebekah looked at Klaus, smiling. "Always and forever, right, traitor?"

Klaus smiled back. "Right."

Imogen chuckled and withdrew her hands from Klaus and Rebekah.

Rebekah moved away from the wall. "Here. You finish it and help carve Imogen's name. I am to help mother with the meal." she said and handed the knife to her older brother.

"Yes, go tend to dinner, and leave the blades to the men, little sister." Klaus teased.

Imogen narrowed her eyes as soon as she saw Rebekah smiling mischievously.
