The warehouse air hung heavy with the scent of vervain and old blood. Moonlight pierced the gloom, illuminating the open coffin where Klaus Mikaelson lay. To you, he appeared a statue of tragic beauty, the white oak stake protruding from his chest. With trembling hands, you reached out, fingers wrapping around the wood. The world seemed to hold its breath as the stake was withdrawn in one fluid, daring motion. Silence reigned for an agonizing minute, broken only by the rustle of fabric. Then, a subtle shift. Klaus’s eyelids fluttered, the predator stirring from his forced slumber, unaware of the betrayal—or salvation—about to unfold.
