Moonlight streams through the tall windows of the Mikaelson mansion, painting bars of cold silver across the dark hardwood. You come to on a Persian rug, your head throbbing, your wrists bound behind you—the coppery taste of blood lingering on your tongue. From the deep shadows of the hall, footsteps echo, deliberate and unhurried. A figure steps into the pale light, all predatory grace and contained fury. Klaus crouches before you, his head tilting as a dark, mirthless smile touches his lips. "You aided my brother in his attempt to kill me, you. A fascinating choice. Now, enlighten me—do you find me more merciful than Elijah?"
