•i'm not daggered again•

"You should wear it tonight. May I?"

Rebekah turned to look at the mirror as she nodded. Elena placed the necklace around the blonde's neck.

"Thank you."

Elena smiled slightly and drove the dagger through Rebekah's back into her heart.

"I'm so sorry. I can't leave anything to chance either."

It was nighttime and unfortunately the school's gym that was supposed to held the Homecoming dance was flooded so the dance was moved to the Lockwood's mansion.

"Quite the Homecoming." Stefan told Klaus as they walk around the party.

"I've been planning my father's funeral for a thousand years. Granted, in no version of it were any of these people invited, but you get the idea."

"So, what now? Stop running?" Stefan asked.

"Hmm, now I reunite my family." Klaus smiled as he thought of the Immortal noirette.

"Your family. You mean the people you cart around in caskets?"

"None of that matters anymore. Mikael is gone. Bygones will be bygones." Klaus saw the Homecoming Queen walked by. "Seems the Homecoming Queen wasn't Rebekah, which leads me to believe Imogen is not here, so is Rebekah. Where are they?"

"Imogen's doesn't want to attend Homecoming. She wanted rest." Stefan said. He's going to tell Klaus a half lie before he's compelled to tell the truth. "I asked her to go with me but she turned me down."

Klaus smirked, happy that Imogen rejected Stefan's offer as her date. "Where's Rebekah?"

"I have no idea. I thought she was coming with Matt."

"Oh, be honest now, Stefan. Where is my sister?"

"I said I have no idea. How would you like me to take you to your father?" Stefan asked, changing the subject.

"Well, it wouldn't be a party without the guest of honor, would it? Bring him to me."

"All right. Perhaps there's something in it for me?" Stefan stared at Klaus. "My freedom from your compulsion?"

"Oh, you want your freedom. Well, once he is dead and his weapon destroyed, you'll have your freedom. It'll be my pleasure to give it back." Klaus said as the green eyed Salvatore smiled slightly and left Klaus alone to get Mikael.

Niklaus Mikaelson was at a table playing beer pong when Mindy, one of his hybrids he turned in Kansas, came up to him.

"You have a visitor."

"Well, tell my visitor I'm on the brink of victory here." Klaus said.

"He said his name is Mikael."

Klaus looked disappointed and threw the ping pong ball into a cup. "Then we mustn't keep him waiting. Move everyone out back. I'm gonna have a little chat with my dad."
