25、20. Who's in the coffin ...

Elijah: This is family business.
——————————————————————————
神秘瀑布镇。
清早，树林里的墓园。
Bonnie缓缓走过一个个墓碑，她的外婆Sheila，祖先Emily……然后她抬起头，看见墓园正中的红木棺椁。
Bonnie走上前，可是它仍旧是锁住的。
突然Klaus的声音从身后传来: “I figured out how to open it. Can you？”
Bonnie恐惧的吸气，Klaus冷冷一笑扑过来咬了她……
Bonnie再次睁开眼，发现自己正躺在棺材中。她念咒语但是打不开，最后只能疯狂的大喊，一点莫名的足音让她几乎抓狂，乱拍着头顶的木板。
忽然棺材被人打开了，白色的阳光涌进来，一个女人正在光线中看着她。
女巫的白房子。
地下室里，放着四口棺材。
Bonnie惊讶的看着它们，半晌，又看一眼旁边的Elena。
Elena: “Angel was mad at him and drove all the hybrids away. That’s our only chance…”
Bonnie简直难以置信: “Yeah! Because Caroline was hurt! And you take advantage of it？”
Elena: “I don’t have a choice! Think, Bonnie, why did Caroline get hurt？”
Bonnie不说话了。
Elena: “I just want him out of here, out of this town. Angel may mad at him now but we both know that does not gonna last. Please Bonnie, help me.”
Bonnie: “Whyyou need my help.”
Elena知道自己的朋友让步了，仍愿意站在自己这一边，指着三口棺材说: “These are Elijah and the other two of Klaus’s siblings. But that one, that one is locked. It can’t be opened. So we guess that’s sort of the witch’s work.”
Bonnie想起自己的梦，恍然大悟: “I know exactly who can open it.”
Klaus宅。
Klaus正像一头愤怒的公牛一样在房间里乱转。Angel悠闲的把玩着壁炉上的装饰。
Klaus: “Who took them？！”
Angel: “Oh, this one is nice.”
Klaus: “Angel!!!”
Angel放下手里的小摆设，无辜的眨了眨眼。
Klaus嘴唇颤抖着说: “I want my family back.”
Angel转个身，一屁股坐到Klaus精心布置的长沙发上: “Said to the one who steal them.”
Klaus: “Who would that be？”
Angel撇了撇嘴: “Obviously, someone who knew they are valuable to you.”
Klaus迅速的思考了一圈，愤怒的回身一拳打碎了摆设。
Angel无奈的说: “God I should take that away first.”
Salvatore宅。
Damon刚走到门口，Stefan的声音从他身后响起: “What bring you back, brother？”
过了一百年了，我们见面第一句话竟然还没变，Damon翻了个白眼，转过身: “Hey, bro, this is my house too.”
Stefan冷笑了一声，Damon眯起眼。
Damon: “Why are you so resentful？”
Stefan眼皮也不抬，越过他就要进门。
Damon一把抓住自己的弟弟: “What’s wrong？”又压低声音问, “I thought you took Klaus’s coffins. You should be over the moon now. Why so angry？”
Stefan猛地抬头看着他，那个眼神吓了Damon一跳。
Damon见过开心的Stefan，纠结的Stefan，绝望的Stefan，幸福的Stefan，放纵的Stefan，不顾一切的Stefan，可从来不像现在这样，好像站在悬崖边，不知道是否有人愿意拉自己一把，甚至不知道即使有人来拉自己，自己又是否会后退一步，还是义无返顾的跳下去。
Damon抓紧手里的胳膊: “What happened？”
Stefan顿了一会，说: “We saw you, three days ago.”
Damon: “Ha？”
三天前。
小镇新开了一家甜品店，自从泡到Damon后越发懒散的Angel自然兴冲冲的前往，自己解决了三块芝士蛋糕，五杯提拉米苏，芝士球，超大份冰激凌，熔岩巧克力无数。
Damon无语的看着横扫甜品店的Angel，回想起在Angel还是人的时候他每天的运动量，对比一下现在每天睡到太阳晒肚皮的懒虫……Damon心里默默吐槽：你变成吸血鬼根本不是为了我吧？根本就是为了能猛吃零食身材不走样吧？！
最后Angel放下碟子，在心里权衡是见好就收还是compel了店员，依依不舍的被Damon拉走了。
当然，手里还拿着一个甜筒。
这天艳阳高照，冰激凌融化了一点，于是Angel侧过头去舔了舔手背，正好把最后一个圆圆胖胖的冰激凌球送到了Damon面前。
咦，正好。Damon毫不客气的一口吃掉了。
感觉手上一轻，Angel一愣，随即大怒，一抬手就把华夫皮糊到了Damon脸上。
几滴浅色的冰激凌液沿着Damon又高又挺的鼻子缓缓滑落，黏糊糊的……
Damon顿时脸就黑了，偏偏那个罪魁祸首还在旁边笑得前仰后合。
初秋的阳光很明媚，正好衬着Angel明亮的笑颜，Damon实在板不住脸，索性把惹祸的天使搂进怀里，往他的脸上乱蹭。
终于Angel也被糊了一脸黏黏的冰激凌液。两人相视一笑，Angel乖巧的闭上眼睛，Damon连亲带吻的把他的脸弄干净了，Angel也如法炮制。
终于收拾利索了，Damon捏捏Angel的鼻子，笑着揽着他走了。
他最后的那个笑容太温柔太宠溺，几乎要刺伤有心人的眼睛。
广场的另一边，Elena望着亲密无间的两个人，连平静的表情都无法维持。
她身边，Stefan看看哥哥，再看看自己心爱的女孩，终于有了一种坠下黑洞的绝望。
现在。
Damon慢慢松开了手。
Damon: “…”
Stefan: “…”
Damon: “That…eh…that doesn’t mean she doesn’t love you.”
Stefan自嘲的笑了: “Maybe, but I have lost her when I left the town.”
Stefan转身走了，Damon愣了半晌，最后只能愤愤的挥拳捶了一下空气。
窗户后，一个人影一闪而过。
Angel宅。
Angel略微安抚了一下炸毛的Klaus就回了家，进门后却发现家里这个似乎也在炸毛？
Damon坐在一个单人沙发上，酒杯放在旁边的小桌上，眼睛一直锁定着Angel。
Angel明白这个表情和动作是什么意思——我们来谈谈。
Angel不明所以的坐在对面，乖巧的看着Damon，还卖萌的眨了眨眼睛。
Damon在心里冷笑一声，说: “I talked to Stefan.”
Angel: “Yes？”这跟我啥关系？
Damon: “He told me Elena seems feeling something for me.”
Angel觉得自己真是安逸日子过久了，一时间竟然不知道该做什么表情，只能呆呆的说: “Oh.”
Damon: “It got me thinking, why it took you two months to come back.”
这是神马跳跃思维啊——Angel只能继续呆呆的说: “Oh？”
爱人难得一见又呆又蠢的样子真是可爱极了，Damon差点忍不住上去揉揉他的脑袋，可是想想他干的事，心里还是忍不住愤怒。
Damon暗沉沉的说: “You were testing me.”
Angel下意识的撅了撅嘴: “Let’s not jumping to conclusion. I was just…given you some time and space…”想想一开始几乎每晚都要紧紧抱住自己的Damon，又心虚的说不下去了。
Damon眯起眼，终于忍不住冲上去把他按倒在沙发上: “Did I pass the test？”
Angel咬了咬嘴唇: “Sorry. But in my defends, I was willing to sacrifice my life for you when you would try everything you can to save Elena. Forgive me if I’m… not that confident.”
Damon一愣，不自信？Angel怎么可能不自信呢？他可是Angel，他长相完美，气质绝佳，上得了厅堂下得了厨房，武力值爆表各种知识全能，Damon就从没见过任何一件事Angel不擅长的。
可他却看着他说，对不起，当时我不够自信。
Damon心软的一塌糊涂，摸着Angel的脸说: “I thought my kiss already me away…”
Angel笑了，捏着Damon的下巴说: “I already gave myself away, literally…”
Damon低下头吻他，在唇齿摩擦间轻声说I love you.
两人好好缠绵了一会，Damon忽然福至心灵的冒出来了一句: “So you did all that on propose! Had a fight with me, left with Klaus… You never trusted Elijah.”
你反射弧好长——Angel伸出食指戳Damon的脸: “Yes and no. It’s not like I don’t trust Elijah. I just can’t believe that he would kill his brother, especially when I saw you.”
Damon若有所思的嗯了一声。
Angel很警觉: “What are you thinking？”
Damon: “Neither you nor Stefan should get involved in all this mess. I have an idea.”
另一边，Elena与Bonnie开车前往北卡罗莱纳州，寻找Bonnie的母亲，Abby。
两人顺利找到了Abby，可是她已经失去了女巫的魔力。
十五年前，在Elena只有两岁的时候，Mikael来到了小镇，想要带走Elena，最新的二重身。始祖的到来让创始人家族们人心惶惶。Abby在她的好友，Miranda Gilbert（Elena的养母）的请求下，用黑巫术将Mikael风干，锁在了Charlotte。
这之后Abby抛弃了自己的女儿Bonnie，远走他乡，失去了自己的魔力。
Bonnie对自己的母亲非常失望，Abby却说，她虽然并不想恢复魔力，但如果Bonnie需要她的帮助，她愿意为了Bonnie试一试。
神秘瀑布镇，Forbes宅。
Caroline回到家，竟然发现Tyler就坐在客厅。
Caroline: “What are you doing here？”
Tyler: “I came to apologize.”
Caroline简直要被气笑了: “Apologise？ You bit me. I could have died. I think we’re way past apologies, Tyler.”
Tyler: “That’s the problem. Klaus told me to do it and I said no. and then, it just happened anyway, like it was completely out of my control. That’s why I had your mom call him.”
一个男人走了进来，Caroline惊讶极了: “Daddy？ How can you…？”
Bill: “I know everything.”
Caroline: “But Damon compelled you!”
Bill: “I can resist compulsion. But at that time, I thought it would be better for you not knowing that.”
Tyler: “I thought since he could resist compulsion, maybe he could teach me to resist a sired bond.”
Caroline咬了咬唇，还是问道: “Can you help him？”
Bill: “I’m gonna try.”
Caroline: “Why？”
Bill: “Because he made a mistake, now he wants to make it good. And I understand that.”
Klaus宅。
Klaus与Stefan的“商谈”非常之不顺。Stefan明白那四口棺材对Klaus的意义，狮子大开口的开出条件，Klaus愤愤的挂上了电话。
似乎有一阵微风拂过，Klaus停下脚步，慢慢转过身，房间门口，站着他的哥哥。
Elijah: “So Nicklaus, what did I miss？”
Lockwood地牢。
为了打破认宗，Bill将Tyler锁起来，让他把自己变成狼人。
Tyler想要与Caroline在一起，宁愿承受把自己变成狼人的痛苦，可惜在他变成狼后失去控制，咬伤了Bill。
Klaus宅。
Elijah打开门，门外正是Salvatore兄弟。
Elijah: “Nicklaus, our guests have arrived.”
餐厅里，壁炉，鲜花，侍女，水晶杯与一排刀叉。
Klaus: “Let’s discuss the terms of our agreement like civilized men, shall we？”
被Tyler咬伤的Bill被紧急送进了医院，生命垂危。Liz Forbes做主，给他注射了吸血鬼的血。
Bill醒来后Tyler前往道歉，Bill表示谅解，但也告诉Tyler，认宗必须要到变身完全没有痛苦才能打破，而在那之前，他绝对不同意Tyler与Caroline在一起。
Tyler给Caroline发了一条短信，离开了小镇。
Lockwood石洞。
为了最好的保存无法打开的棺材，Stefan将它移到了吸血鬼无法进入的这个石洞。
Bonnie和她的母亲Abby发现了能够打开棺材的咒语，正在抓紧一切时间尝试。
那么剩下的棺材呢？
女巫的白房子。
一个人影飞快的闪了进去，地下室里，三口棺材静静的躺在那里。
每一口棺材头上有一个小小的刻字：Finn，Kol，Elijah。
人影轻轻拂过每一口棺材，终于停在了其中一口之前。
她深吸一口气，猛地打开了棺材。
棺材里本来静静躺着的人突然弹了出来。
Angel大喊一声: “Surprise!”
Katherine: “Ah!!!!”
Klaus宅。
两对兄弟坐下享用晚宴，穿着短裙的侍女礼貌的上来倒酒。
Damon撇了撇嘴: “I do prefer the un-compelled servants.”
Klaus笑得露出一个酒窝: “Ah, Angel do know how to train people isn’t he Maybe I should take some lessons.”
Stefan讽刺地说: “Sure. Then you don’t need sire bond to make your hybrid loyal like my brother.”
Damon不想跟他俩计较，轻哼了一声。
Elijah不解的问: “Damon is loyal to whom, Angel？”
Klaus: “Oh you missed so much. Damon has already moved in with Angel. The curse of the Petrova Doppelganger is officially over.”
Stefan冷笑着看着Klaus，Klaus回以一个堪称“甜美”的笑容。
Klaus存心给Stefan找不痛快: “What do you say, brother？ Should we tell them about Tatia？”
Elijah: “Now why should we discuss matters long since resolved？”
Klaus: “Well, given their shared affection for both Elena and Katerina, I think our guests might be curious to learn about the originator of the Petrova line.”
Damon满不在乎的举杯示意: “We’re not going anywhere, Elijah. Please, do tell.”
Elijah: “When our family first settled here, there was a girl named Tatia. She was an exquisite beauty.(Damon轻蔑的笑) Every boy of age desired to be her suitor, even though she’d had a child by another man. And none loved her more than Nicklaus.”
Klaus: “Oh I’d say there was one who loved her at least as much.”
Klaus看向自己的哥哥，Elijah也转头看着他。
Stefan: “You both, loved the same girl？”
Elijah看了Stefan一眼，没有回答，只是继续说: “Our mother was a very powerful witch. She sought to end our feel to Tatia. And so she took 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 performed the spell which turned us into vampires. Tatia wouldn’t make a decision between the two of us, so for a time, Nicklaus and I… grew estranged. Harsh words were traded. We even came to blows. Didn’t we, brother？”
在Elijah讲述Tatia的故事时Klaus脸上完全没有笑容，这时方才露出一个微笑，向自己的哥哥举杯: “But in the end, we recognized the secret bond of family.”
Elijah: “Family above” 他也举起杯请碰一下，“…all.”
Klaus: “Family above all.”
Stefan与Damon对视一眼。
女巫的白房子。
Katherine被吓了一大跳，看着面前坐在棺材里笑得前仰后合Angel，愤怒的说: “What are you doing here？!!”
Angel: “Oh you should see your face…”
Angel笑够了，跳出棺材站在Katherine面前。
Angel: “Long time no see, Kathy. I should know that when one Salvatore boy wouldn’t play with you,you just switch to another.”
Katherine: “Why do you care You got Damon. Or should I just sayyou got Klaus？”
Angel悠闲的说: “Yeah, speak of Klaus… what are you doing here？ You do know that if he find out it is you that behind all those…mess ups... What would he do to you？”
Katherine不甘示弱的抬起下巴: “Maybe Damon would do the same thing if I told him what you are willing to do for Klaus.”
Angel笑了，笑容有些嘲讽，但没有丝毫的慌乱。
是啊，Katherine想，我刚刚说的话可真蠢。他们的感情，早就没有任何可以让我挑拨离间的余地了。
我知道Angel为什么会在这里，他还是想放我一条生路的。我知道他是什么样的人，在层层理性的包裹下，他仍旧是一个纯粹而感性的人，而Damon就更不用说了，那个傻子几乎没有任何理性可言。
所以他们是如此的相爱。形于外的不同让生命充满火花，敛于内的一致让心灵彼此契合。
讽刺的是，Angel穿越了时空来遇见自己的爱情，而我一直在这里，却早已被时间抛弃了。
Klaus宅。
Elijah: “So why don’t we move this evening along and discuss the terms of this proposal？”
Damon: “It’s very simple. Klaus gets his coffin back. In exchange, he, and the original extended family, leave Mystic Falls forever. Me, Angel, Stefan and Elena, live happily ever after, no grudges.”
Stefan坐在Klaus对面，一整晚的时间两个人几乎都在互瞪。
Elijah: “Deal sounds fair, brother.”
Klaus看着Stefan说: “I don’t think you understand. I can’t do that because Elena’s doppelganger blood ensures that I will always have more hybrids to fight those that oppose me. I will never leave her behind.”
Stefan看着Klaus，黝黑的瞳孔中映出壁炉里跳动的火焰。
Klaus端起酒杯站起来，大声说: “Let’s say I do leave her here, under your protection. What then？ How long before you turn her into a vampire？ Or even worse,your craving of blood makes Elena the ultimate victim. It happened once or twice.” Klaus扫了一眼Damon，笑着说, “Ask your brother. With a tempting lover like Angel, did he ever feed on him？ Even a single drop？”
“You think you are the one to protect her. What a delusion.” Klaus微笑的红唇如恶魔，将诅咒送进Stefan心底, “The worst thing for Elena Gilbert is,you.”
女巫的白房子。
满布灰尘与蛛网的地下室，Angel与Katherine在三口棺材中相对而立。
Angel一直很从容，而一贯嚣张的Katherine却显得有些狼狈。
不过，这样的她却更像个可爱的女孩子了。
Angel: “Why did you even back Kathy？”
Katherine: “That’s none of your business.”
Angel: “Oh come on. I’m curious.”
Katherine冷笑了一声撅起嘴，明显不想再搭话。
Angel挑挑眉: “Ok. Let me ask the urgent question. What are you gonna do now？”
Katherine迟疑了。
Angel收起了调笑的表情，站直了身子看着面前的女人。她与Elena有着完全一样的漂亮五官，橄榄色的光洁皮肤，不同点只在于Katherine长长的卷发更加妩媚，细而眉弓微高的眉毛总是带着一份盛气凌人的骄傲。
这个女人是强大的，狡猾的，老谋深算的。
而此刻却有些难言的脆弱与无助。
Angel在心里感慨一声。
到底也是个女人啊。
两人沉默了一会， “Run, Katherine.” Angel突然说, “Run.”
Katherine被惊醒了一样转头看Angel，顿了一会却摇了摇头。
Angel面沉如水，声音也不带一丝感情: “Why not？ You have run for five hundred years. During which time there was only once that Klaus actually got you. But he let you go. Why, are you even come back？” Angel语速很慢，但很有压迫感，Katherine还不等回答什么他又继续说, “You stole the necklace. You woke up Mikael. You told Stefan to steal Klaus’s coffins. Klaus would never let you go this time. And you don’t run.”
“Why.”
Katherine被他的步步紧逼弄得更加狼狈，但还是倔强的站在那里，咬牙说: “You know why.”
“Say it.” Angel飞快的说。
Katherine: “…Yes. I have run for five hundred years. I sacrificed so much to keep me alive, to take care of myself.”她几乎嘲讽的说完，顿了一顿才坚定的说, “But no. This time I won’t run.”
“I won’t run. Just for him.”
Angel沉默了一会才说: “He doesn’t know anything.”
Katherine: “It doesn’t matter.”
过了半晌，Angel突然抛给Katherine一把钥匙，在她疑惑的目光中说: “6 Marigold Street. The owner is human, named Sarah. Tell her I sent you.”
就知道Angel这种人手里总是有底牌的，Katherine收好钥匙，Angel已经走到了门口，Katherine疑惑的问: “Why would you help me？”
Angel转过身: “…Damon’s love would never be just stop. You freed him. For that I own you.”
Katherine笑了，银色的钥匙在她细长的手指上绕了个圈，K女王又恢复了她的骄傲。
她抬起下巴对Angel说: “Thank you.”
Angel也微笑着说: “Thank you.”
Klaus宅。
餐后。
Damon: “It’s time for you to put something on the table Klaus. We’ve made our offer. Now you counter.”顺手掐了一下Stefan。
Klaus悠闲的坐下，Elijah站在他身后。对面，Salvatore兄弟站在一起。
“Ok.” Klaus清了清嗓子, “I offer Elena’s future happiness. You see, what she needs right now is to be rid of you, and to fall in love with a human. Maybe that nice football player,you know, the blond one.”
Damon呛声: “Matt Donovan, really？”
Klaus: “Yeah why not？ They’ll marry, live a long and fruitful life, and pop out a perfect family.”
Stefan笑了: “And continue the Petrova bloodline. Every few hundred years,you’ll have a new doppelganger to drain and never run out of hybrids. Right, Klaus？”
Klaus: “Consider it a small return on my investment in her well-being. See, after you hand me back the coffin, I’ll ensure her safety for the rest of her natural life. You know it’s what’s best for her.”
“So…what do you say Stefan” Klaus站起来走到两方中间, “Do we have a deal？”
Stefan也走了过去站在他对面，Klaus伸出手，Stefan握住了，Damon飞快的皱了一下眉。
Stefan握紧Klaus的手，把他拉向自己，轻声说: “Nice try, Klaus. But no deal.”
Klaus的笑容瞬间消失，握住Stefan的手一拧，同时一脚踹上他的膝后，Stefan惨叫一声，Damon猛地冲过来却被Elijah挡住了。
Klaus把Stefan的手按进壁炉里，火苗不停地舔舐着，Stefan忍不住痛楚的呻吟着。
Damon大喊: “Stop!”
Klaus: “Now, bring me my coffins before I burn him alive.”
Damon: “I’ll get them.”
Damon转身离去，Klaus看了Elijah一眼，Elijah也跟上了。
Lockwood地下。
棺材发出一声响动，Bonnie伸手，就在刚触到时发出一声惊叫。
小公寓。
Rebekah收到一条短信，上面写着Klaus宅的地址和一句话。
The biggest present ever.
女巫的白房子。
Angel走后，Katherine好奇的打开另外两口棺材，发现三口棺材竟然都是空的。
Klaus宅。
Elijah与Damon很快空着手回来了，Klaus疑惑的松开Stefan，戒备的看着两人。
Klaus: “Elijah？”
Elijah优雅的摊开手: “Where are your manners, brother？ You forgot dessert.”
Rebekah捧着一个托盘走进来，笑容甜美可人: “And may I serve you lot.”
托盘里赫然是两把匕首。
Klaus身体微微一晃: “Rebekah…what have you done？”
Elijah: “What have you done？ You have lost my trust brother. We’re doing this on my terms now.”
一个年轻男子轻快地走了进来，下巴上一道迷人的浅沟，与Elijah和Klaus相似极了。
Klaus终于后退了一步: “Kol…”
Kol笑着说: “Long time, brother.”
Klaus愤愤的抿紧唇，猛地闪向Rebekah手里的托盘，一个留着半长卷发，古代人打扮的男子在他之前拿起了托盘里的匕首。
Klaus: “Finn, don’t…Ah!!”
Finn把匕首扎进了Klaus的手心。
Kol上前抓住了Klaus，Rebekah冷冷的看着他。
Elijah一直站在一边看着，此时终于对Stefan和Damon说: “You’re free to go.”
“This is family business.”
Damon与Stefan离开了Klaus家。
Stefan: “…”
Damon: “…”
Stefan: “Thank you for saving me from Klaus.”
Damon: “Shut up. You don’t get to thank me till I payyou back for all of those times you saved me.”
“…” Stefan停下了脚步, “But Klaus is right about one thing…”
Damon也停了下来，回身看着他。
“Think of what I have brought to Elena and… You and Angel…”Stefan看着自己的哥哥，“You are the better man than me, Damon.”
一百六十五年，无论是作为人还是吸血鬼，所有Damon曾在乎过的人最终都选择了Stefan。他们的父亲，Katherine，Lexi，Elena……直到Angel。Damon以为自己听到Stefan亲口的“认输”会欣喜若狂。
但此时，他只觉得轻松。
好像曾经那个在心里疯狂的嫉妒着自己弟弟的那个Damon终于了却了最后的心愿。
而他已不是那个Damon了。
Damon翘起一边的嘴角: “I got him killed once. I think that’s a stalemate.”
Stefan也终于笑了出来。
Klaus宅。
Rebekah: “I like what you’ve done with the new place, Nic.”
她拿起醒酒的水晶碗，抬手砸到了对面的墙上。
哥哥们都回来了，终于有了撑腰的了。
Klaus顾不上心疼被Rebekah砸到的真品油画，辩解道: “I wanted it be for all of us. A place we could all call home, a place we could all be a family. None of us would ever have to be alone again.”
他抬起头看向自己的哥哥，Elijah却移开了视线，走开了几步。
Elijah: “Well,you’re right. None of us would be.”
Klaus惊讶的看着他，Elijah走到餐厅门口回过头，Finn，Kol，Rebekah站在他身边。
Elijah: “Damon made me a deal. The original family, shall never bother his lover and his brother.”
Rebekah: “We are leaving you, Nic. Right after I killed that doppelganger wench. Then you will be alone, always and forever.”
Klaus猛地站了起来，咬牙切齿的说: “If you run… I will hunt all of you down.”
Elijah平静的说: “And then you’ll become everything you hate… Our father.”
Klaus抿紧唇，抬起下巴不肯屈服，只是那双棕色的眼睛里已经开始泛起粼光。
Elijah不为所动，正要转身，大门忽然一响。
众人回头，Klaus猛地瞪大了眼睛。
一个中年女子站在那里，她浅金色的波浪长发披散在肩上，五官端庄，下巴上一道浅浅的沟，身上仍穿着一千年前的麻布长裙和皮质腰带。
Rebekah喃喃道: “Mother…”
她严肃的扫视一圈，从容的走到了Klaus身前。
Klaus身体不停地颤抖，低头不敢看她。
Esther沉声说: “Look at me.”
Klaus抬起脸，两道浅浅的水痕挂在他脸上，他抬高下巴，最后终于把视线移向了自己的母亲。
Esther: “Do you know, why I’m here？”
Klaus颤抖着说: “You’re here to kill me.”
Esther: “Nicklaus you are my son. And I am here to forgive you.”
Klaus抖动着嘴唇说不出话，Esther转身望着另外四人。
Esther: “I want us to be a family again.”
Angel宅。
Damon走进起居室，就见Angel裹着一条毛绒绒的大毯子，窝在沙发上看脱口秀，不时傻笑几声。
Damon走近一看，果然，怀里抱着一大桶冰激凌呢。
Angel终于看见自家男人了，讨好的笑笑，挖了一勺冰激凌喂给他。
Angel: “How’s your dinner？”
Damon: “Reunited of the original family. All is well if ends well. How’s your surprise party？”
Damon坐下，Angel抖开毯子，把他包裹进来，边说: “Two people is not a party. But it was great.”
Damon笑了，用鼻子蹭了蹭Angel的脸，抱住自己的天使，一起窝在一个柔软的世界里看电视。
