The air in the warehouse was thick, smelling of stale blood and bitter vervain. Shafts of moonlight cut through the dust, landing on the open coffin where Klaus Mikaelson lay. To you, he looked like a monument of tragic grace, the white oak stake still piercing his chest. With hands that would not stop shaking, you reached out, fingers locking around the wood. The entire world seemed to pause as the stake was withdrawn in one fluid, reckless motion. An agonizing silence followed, broken only by the soft rustle of his clothes. Then, a shift. Klaus’s eyelids fluttered, the predator stirring from a forced hibernation, oblivious to whether he had been betrayed or saved.
