"They're on the side of everyone getting to live their own life without answering to the Mikaelsons," he admits. "Some were turned because of them and have dealt with Hell, some have loved the people they loved. When you're the all powerful supreme vampire, you live like it. That makes a lot of enemies. Even without a hybrid psycho brother."

There would be others already out there against them without Klaus and he knows it. Like what happened to Caroline and how they treated her, but then that was Klaus too a lot.

He shrugs. "I came from money so I was expected to live in it. My dad was mayor and my mom after him," he says, knowing he's venturing into deep territory now but he feels close to her already, enough to share. "Some tried to kill all the vampires in town. They knew my dad wasn't only human and so they tried to kill him but it didn't do anything. Turned out he was never activated, somehow. He was killed by a vampire, I never knew who. Unlike my mom."

He pauses, not having used this for pity earlier but they were letting him help so someone should know. "Klaus killed her to pay me back for the things I'm doing."

He can mange it in a flat voice, not letting it crack, but it doesn't hurt any less.

"It's why I have to do this for you all. I know what he can do."

And he wants to do what he can for them.

He nods though, moving close rto her. "Sure. Lead on. I'd love to see the place."
