The Death Of Alexis

Marcel has made it back to the compound, where he and a still-drunk Klaus discuss the evening's events in Klaus' study while Klaus drinks a glass of wine. Marcel is getting weaker by the moment and is leaning against the table for support. Lizzie was here too.

"I bet they were all so impressed, weren't they? Hmm, your new mates? Positively taken by your boldness, your cunning wit, and your steely resolve. And you just assumed that I would be willing...eager, even...to drain the blood from my veins in the aftermath." Klaus said, annoyed.

Marcel remains silent and continues to pant for breath as he leans weakly against the table, and Klaus rolls his eyes as he walks over to him as Klaus then said " We cannot tell friend from foe, and what are you doing? You're pledging a fraternity run by those conspiring against us!"

"My interest in The Strix is because of you. I don't get to choose sides. Whoever comes for you, comes for me. That's all I need to know."Marcel sighed.

"She's awake." Freya said, walking into the room.

"Yes, whoever comes for me may very well come for you. But, they may also come through you, Marcellus. Remember that." Klaus told Marcel as he bites his hand draining his blood into his empty wine glass.

Klaus and Lola walked downstairs with Freya. Hayley, Lucien, Faye, Jo, Luke and Sage were there. A bruise is developing under Alexis' eye from where Freya punched her, and she looks as though she's close to tears and she said, looking at Klaus "I'm sorry. I hoped I was wrong, Lucien. I really did. But I saw it. I saw him die."

Klaus sighed avoiding looking at Lizzie.

"Did you see the weapon?" Lucien asked nervously.

Alexis nodded.

"To understand, it must be seen." Alexis quietly.

Alexis smiles weakly at Lucien, who frowns in confusion for a moment as Klaus stares at them both suspiciously. Alexis holds her wrist out to Faye, who sits down next to her on the couch. Lucien stands to his feet and allows Hayley to take her seat next to Alexis so she can see the vision as well, and she holds out her other wrist to him. Sage and Lizzie look at each other warily before they each bite into Alexis' offered wrists and begin to feed.

Alexis throws her head backward as her eyes roll back into her head as the visions begin. Like the other visions, the first flash is of a page from a grimoire with a spell and several pentacles are written on the parchment. Then, the vision cuts to the dining room of the Mikaelson compound, which is in disarray... it looks like a fight broke out during dinner, because the chairs are overturned, broken glasses litter the table and floor, and the plates of food have been scattered over the bunched up tablecloth. There's another flash to Freya dipping her fingers in the bowl of Klaus'/Alexis' blood, and the scene of Elijah's painted portrait in the living room dripping blood. Another flashback of Freya casting the spell to see the visions from Alexis' blood is seen as the pieces of paper with Klaus, Elijah, and Rebekah's names written in Elder Futhark Runic script catch on fire. There is then a flash of Lucien's face, which looks serious at first before he smirks smugly. Another flash of the "beast" with extremely long and sharp fangs is seen as well before the vision erupts into flames.

In the present, Alexis' nose has begun to bleed, and Hayley quickly stops feeding on her, looking at the blood on her hands in fright. Suddenly, Lizzie throws up all the blood she had just drunk onto the floor, and Sage looks sick as well as she tries to keep herself from throwing up as well.

"Something's wrong." Sage chokes out and Lizzie looks up at the others with terror in her eyes and said "Poison!"

Alexis gags before she, too, begins to vomit up a large amount of blood, and Lucien, alarmed, rushes over to Alexis, whose nose and mouth are still bleeding profusely. Alexis weakly falls into Lucien's arms as he desperately tries to wake her. Alexis falls into Lucien's lap and dies, while Klaus looks both suspicious and concerned regarding what has just happened. Lucien, however, is devastated and furious and scowls as he tries to figure out who did this.

The next morning, Lizzie tucks Hope and Theo into bed and looks at them as they finally sleep peacefully as she remains in the clothes from the night before. She walks out of the room making sure to close the door and she turns around to see Klaus sitting on her bed with a worried look on his face.

"I finally got them to sleep. I'll have to explain this family to Hope and Theo someday. I think about that sometimes."Lizzie admitted.

"What do you think?" Klaus asked curiously and looked at her.

"I wouldn't lie to them. I'll never lie to them. But, you know what I'll start with? 'Always and forever.'" Lizzie slightly smiled.

The two look at each other and Klaus smiled at the words that came out of her mouth.

"Elijah made him, right? Tristan?" Lizzie asked.

"I think it would be more accurate to say that they made each other, but yes. He has a sister... Aurora. And a wife... Nora. She's an heretic and Lucien's sister. To be perfectly frank with you, I'm surprised that he's without them. His devotion to them is absolutely pathological. It's dangerous." Klaus started to explain.

" Loyalty doesn't make people dangerous, Nik." Lizzie weakly smiled.

Klaus smiled back and they kissed.

Elsewhere, Aurora and Nora walks down an alley, taking in the city, and smiles as they walks to the curb of the street and looks around. Grinning even wider, they starts walking down the middle of the street, past all of the cleaning crew members and hungover partiers milling around the neighborhood.
