Elijah was leaning up against a tree waiting for his brother to wake up, while Theta had her back to Klaus for obvious reasons. Once Klaus began to stir, Elijah threw his brother an extra pair of clothes. "You've been busy." He said.
"That was amazing." Klaus put on his shirt. "How long has it been?"
"Roughly, two days." Theta told him. "You remained a wolf after the full moon." She turned around at the sound of her uncle buckling his belt.
He smiled at that. "I can change at will, then. It's good to know. I remember every single kill."
Elijah rolled his eyes. "Yes, We've been cleaning up your little mess along the way."
"Just like old times, brother." The Original Hybrid walked up to the two.
"Uncle, you had your fun." The angle hybrid took a step closer. "Please just give us what we want."
"That's right. Now, what was it again?" Klaus pretended to think about it. "Oh, yeah. Wait. I remember. That's it. You wish to be reunited with our family."
"You gave us your word, Niklaus." Elijah pointed out.
His playful mood vanished. "What kind of brother would break his bond? Even though you did try to kill me."
"I could have. But I didn't." The original vampire handed him his jacket.
"And now no one can, not even you." Klaus pointed out.
Theta looked him dead in the eye. "I can."
"Yes, but you won't." Niklaus looked down at her. "We all know how important family is to you." Theta bit her lip and turned away from his eyes. Klaus' mouth pulled into a smug smile as he turned back to his brother. "Relax, Elijah. All is forgiven."
"Where are they?" Elijah's patience was wearing thin.
Klaus patted him on the shoulder. "You need to lighten up. I'll bring you to them soon enough."

The Mikaelson trio walked into Alaric's apartment just in time to see Katherine holding Stefan by the throat. "Klaus, you're back. Look who decided to come for a visit."
Stefan tried to make eye contact with Theta, but she refused to meet his eye. So he then looked at Klaus.
"You just keep popping up, don't you?" Klaus pretended to not notice the eye movement.
Katherine dropped Stefan as he spoke. "I need your help... For my brother."
"Well, whatever it is, he's gonna have to wait a tick." Klaus told him. "You see, I have an obligation to my brother and niece that requires my immediate attention."
Elijah cuts into the conversation. "You understand how important family is, or you wouldn't be here. My brother gave me his word that he would reunite us with ours."
"And so I shall." Klaus says, then proceeds to shove the dagger into his brother's heart and watches him fall to the ground.
"Papa!" Theta cried out, not expecting the betrayal. She rushed to her father to pull out the dagger, but her vision went black. Theta Mikaelson fell to the ground with her neck bent at an odd angle with her uncle standing over her with a slight sense of remorse.
—-------
"You want me to leave?"
Those words were the first thing that Theta heard when she started coming back to her senses. Groaning, she could just make out Stefan being upset and her back stabbing uncle was quite pleased with himself.
After Katherine left, Klaus looked down, presently surprised that his niece was up and moving after the unexpected nap he gave her. "You're up, wonderful!" He crouched down to her level. "You can carry Elijah, but if you even think about removing the dagger," His tone lost the cheerful aspect. "You will never see your father again. Understood?"
Theta glared through watery eyes. "You wish for me to carry my father's corpse after you snapped my neck, wasting my energy?"
Her uncle just waved her off. "You can use your magic." He put one hand onto both of their shoulders. "Come, we have places to be."

The three are in a warehouse, surrounded by the Mikaelson family sleeping in their designated coffins. Theta kneeled in front of her Father’s casket, placing her forehead gently onto the wood, closing her eyes.
Normally, she would risk waking everyone up, but Klaus was smart. He still hasn't let her feed after waking up herself and she knew he wouldn't allow her till they put quite a distance from her family and Mystic Falls. It was one of the downsides of being an angel vampire hybrid, blood is still needed for full power.
"I suppose, brother, you've been reunited with most of our family." Klaus mumbles to himself then turns to the two men. "Put him with the others. We're leaving town tonight." The original hybrid pulls Theta away from Elijah's wooden prison and turns to Stefan, who is checking his phone. "So... Did Katerina make it in time?"
Stefan avoided the topic, switching to try and mock him. "You won't be seeing her again, you know."
"Because she's on vervain?" The hybrid phrased it like a question, but the other two knew he was being rhetorical. "I've been around a long time, Stefan. I rarely get played for a fool. Besides, she won't get far. You'll help me see to that."
Stefan raised an eyebrow. "What is it you really want from me?"
Klaus waves him off. "All will be explained in time. Once we leave this tragic little town."
"Then can we go?" Theta snapped. She was emotionally drained and the feeling of her throat was starting to bug her. "I need to feed after what you did to me, and we both know you won't let me till we're gone." She was not at all happy with being less than a hundred percent.
Klaus ignored the snark in his niece's voice. "Not quite. You see, I have a gift for Stefan." He gestured a teenage girl in to the room. "Come here, sweetheart. Don't be afraid. See, I wanna make sure you honor our deal... That you'll be of use to me." Niklaus bites into her neck as she squirms. "I could have compelled her to behave, but a real ripper enjoys the hunt."
Stefan, with no control, rushes towards her, biting her neck with vigor. Theta's eyes vamp out but she looked away, not wanting to see someone she cared about lose themselves.
"Now we can go." Klaus tells the two as the girl drops to the floor, dead.

Before they started the road trip, they stopped at the hospital that was in the next town over. The two sat in the front, waiting for Stefan to get back with the blood bags.
"This brings back old times, doesn't it?" Klaus said to Theta. "You, Me, having some Uncle and Niece bonding time."
Theta refused to look at him. "I am not going on your quest to make hybrids to bond with you."
"Then why you coming?" He questioned. "For your father?" He got no reaction. "For Stefan?" Theta's scowl deepend. "Ah, so it's the handsome Stefan. I thought you were interested in that little human, Jeremy."
"Do not try to gossip." Theta drummed her fingers on the dash. "It doesn't look good for someone your age."
Klaus' smile grew at that. "Oh! Looks like I struck a nerve." His head leaned closer. "Are you hoping now that the doppelganger's dead, he will fall for you again?"
The angel vampire hybrid's eye twitched at that. One, she didn’t know if Elena Gilbert was alive. For all she knew, the doppelganger could have chosen not to transition. Two, she was pissed at her uncle for bringing up something that was his fault. "There would not be an 'again' if you simply didn't make him forget." Klaus went to say something after that, but Theta saw Stefan walking out of the hospital with two coolers. "Stefan's back. If you would excuse me." She jumped out of the car not even a second later.
"Here, let me help." She grabbed one of the coolers, bringing it closer to the trunk.
"Thanks." He mumbled, walking alongside her.
She gave a side glance into the car, seeing her uncle not paying attention, she used some of her remaining energy to cast a silent charm. "Did Elena complete the transition?" Stefan looked at her in panic, she then calmed him down. "I casted a spell. He won't be able to hear us till we sit in the car."
Stefan's shoulders relaxed at the information before tensing again. He didn’t want Theta to know, not wanting her to get into even more trouble with her Uncle. But Stefan knew she had a thing when it came to lying. However, he realized that Elena didn't need to complete the transition because she was still human, therefore not lying. "No, no she didn't."
"I know it will not mean much coming from me, but I am truly sorry for your loss." Theta said.
Stefan didn’t have any other words for her to hear, so he placed his one cooler in the truck and headed to the back seat.
Theta copied his movements a second afterwards, but headed to the front seat instead. Both knew that this was going to be a long trip.
