The Vampire Diaries

"No, it's yours."

Tatia laughed quietly, "I guess we could argue about it all day. Point is, she finally smiled."

Klaus just smiled and nodded

Tatia kissed Klaus on the cheek before pulling herself out of his grasp and leaving the room, heading downstairs and into the kitchen.

Klaus followed her silently.

Once he was in the kitchen with them Tatia passed Vanessa over to him and went into the fridge, pulling out a blood bag and starting to make a bottle up for Vanessa.

Klaus took Vanessa off of her silently.

Tatia went to the sink to rinse her hands of blood that she'd spilled afterwards. She put her hands under the water and instantly screamed in shock, pulling her burnt hands away. "There's vervain in the water...." she gasped out.

Klaus cursed quietly, hooking an arm around Tatia's waist and pulling her away from the sink as if it would walk over and get her. "That's not good,"

"Looks like The Five are back with a vengence, and they're being smart about it too." Rebekah observed as she walked into the room, having heard Tatia's scream. Just before turning the tap off she ran her finger underneath, the vervain barely effecting her. "Minimal amount they've put in, they clearly don't know we're around."

"If the humans drink it on a daily basis though eventually we aren't going to be able to compel them. We'll have to actually pay for our drinks at the Grill." Klaus grimaced.

"Never mind compel them, we're not going to be able to feed on them. And eventually we're not even going to be able to drink from blood bags." Rebekah grimaced, "We need to stop them."

"I've got one of them chained up so that's one out of the way for now,"

"Well you're going to have to get him to tell you where his friends are. Or else we're going to have to get the hell out of Mystic Falls and I don't feel like moving again!" Rebekah suddenly jerked her head up when Kol gave a pained shout from upstairs and she started laughing. "Dipstick just got in the shower. Poor bastard, that's gonna hurt."

Klaus laughed quietly before nodding, "Yeah, I'll get it out of him. "

Tatia groaned at the thought of moving, "What happens if you can't get this 'Five' hunter to talk?"

"We will." Klaus assured, "Bekah, you want to help me get him to talk?"

"I don't want anything to do with the Five."

"Fine, I'll get Kol to help me then," Klaus shrugged

"You do that." Rebekah shrugged, "Just try not to kill them."

"Why wouldn't he kill them? If they're vervaining the water system and they're out to kill us then why the hell not?" Tatia asked, sounding confused.

"To kill one of the Five turns you crazy." Rebekah explained. "Nik killed all five of the original group, and had hallucinations for years. 52 years 4 months and 9 days to be exact."

Tatia frowned at Rebekah's news, turning to face Klaus. "That must've been awful."

"Please don't remind me," Klaus whispered quietly, "The memory isn't a very nice one,"

"You think it was nice for any of us? " Rebekah asked rhetorically. "I'm off to go raid the blood bags at the hospital, since soon enough they're going to be filled with vervain too." she announced before she left.

Tatia took Klaus' hand and laced her fingers with his, rubbing her thumb over the back of his hand soothingly.

"In comparison to what I had, Bekah, yes, it was certainly a much nicer experience for you." Klaus called after her, rolling his eyes

"What did you hallucinate about?" Tatia asked him quietly.

Klaus just shook his head in the negative, refusing to answer that. Not wanting to remember.
