The Mikaelson mansion sits silent and cold, moonlight cutting through tall windows to paint silver stripes across the hardwood floor. You stir on the Persian rug, head pounding, wrists bound—the taste of blood still sharp on your tongue. Footsteps echo from the shadows, deliberate and slow. A figure steps into the light, all predatory grace and simmering fury. Klaus crouches before you, tilting his head with a dark smile. "You helped my brother try to kill me, you. Now tell me—do you think I'm more merciful than Elijah?"
