After the dinner that he, Niklaus and Freya had shared whilst she shared of what she knew about their aunt Dahlia and what she wanted from baby Hope. After Niklaus had made his excuses to leave he knew that his brother was going to check and rally the wolves with Hayley.
Elijah had given his assurance that he would keep an eye on their so called sister. Re-filling two glasses of wines and returning the empty bottle to the table. This particular brand of wine required time to breath to get the full pleasantness of the fine fruits used in its creation.
He raised his eyes to see the woman who he partially believed was his sister Freya standing by the window.

Freya turned, giving Elijah a soft but weary smile. Gesturing, she spoke. "I have no problem speaking freely. Whether Niklaus be present or not."
She let out a soft breath, and moved towards him. Her hand worried the necklace around her throat, and she regarded him with an almost sad expression. All her life she yearned to be with her family, to see them as they grew. She remembered being excited for Elijah's birth.
"Is there something you wanted to talk about, Elijah?"

Elijah moved around the table, his arm mid air wagging his hand using it as symbol of sorts to keep his trail of thought "Whilst I choose to understand your actions Freya towards our brother Finn and your reasoning to make him belief that you were on his side..." he trailed off "But Katerina" he added with a stern tone clear in his voice.
Even after what Freya had revealed during their dinner he had chosen to wait until Niklaus had left before he confronted his sister. What needed to be said was private.
"...If you so much as lay a hand on Katerina again. I will gladly make your immortal life a living hell. Do I make myself clear?" he threatened.

Freya was expecting this. She nodded her head slightly, letting her hand fall to her side. "Ah," she spoke, smiling faintly. "I was wondering when this would come up."
Freya watched Elijah. The way his body posture changed. His tone deepened, turning angry. "You love her," she said finally. "You might not want to admit it, but you do."
She shook her head, and walked towards Elijah. She couldn't die, and so she wasn't afraid of anything Elijah could do to her. She rested a hand against his shoulder.
"It was never my intention to harm you or her. I needed information and I do regret how I got it."

Elijah kept his firm gaze with Freya knowing that part of him still doubted the words that she spoke, he had more of Niklaus's attitude than he realized. He chose not to answer Freya's remark about his feelings towards Katerina, but instead chose to push the change of subject aside for now.
Shifting on his feet so that Freya removed her hand from his shoulder "You desire for information nearly caused Katerina her life. Should you have required information, you should have considered your approach. A white flag perhaps?" he suggested turning from her as he headed back towards the table.
"If this alliance should proceed then you must give Niklaus a reason to believe that you speak the truth"

"Katerina is a strong woman. I did nothing that I was sure she could not handle." Freya watched him as he walked away from her. Tilting her head at him, she scoffed and looked away.
"If he will even give me a chance to prove myself to him. He is so bitter...It saddens me that our family was turned into this." Turning her gaze back to him, she stepped around the table to rest her hand against the back of the chair. She knew that she would have to work to get her brother's to trust her.
"Have her visions started?" She asked, her voice soft.

Elijah lowered his head in silence and and nodded "They have" he answered simply "They have taken a toll on her" he added.
Picking up the two glasses of wine he walked towards her and handed Freya a glass of wine "Cabernet Sauvignon 1886, a particularly good year" he smirked and sipped on the wine "If I were to murder you, poison would not be my choice of weapon" he assured her sensing her hesitance at drinking it.
Holding the wine in front of him he pondered his next question "If you desire to seek our trust. Then give us something to use"
Post by Freya Mikaelson on Mar 19, 2015 17:20:51 GMT -6
Freya bowed her head slightly, taking the glass from him. Licking her lips, she raised the glass to her lips. Swallowing the sip, she cleared her throat.
"I can make it stop," she spoke. At his expression, she placed the glass onto the table. Reaching up to grasp the necklace around her neck, she continued. "I am the one that unlocked them, accidentally. I had no intention of doing it on purpose. I only wanted what she knew about Hope and I delved too deep."
She let out a breath. "I didn't have the ability to close the door, so to speak, before you cut off my magic. I can reverse it, lock it once more."

Elijah listened to what she had to say and he immediately shook his head "Under no circumstances do you speak to, or approach Katerina, Freya" he warned her.
As much as Elijah wanted to help Katherine with the visions he would not allow Freya to go near Katerina and he knew Katerina would feel the same.
"As forthcoming as your offer may be. I do not trust you Freya. As my brother you have turned on Finn. What prevents you from doing the same with us?"

"They will drive her mad, Elijah," Freya warned. She raised her hands in surrender. "But I will do as you ask. I want you to trust me, little brother." Her tone softened. She picked up her glass once more, and took a sip.
"As for Finn," she spoke, her voice sad. "Esther had poisoned his mind. He cared nothing about family. He only wanted to rid the world of you and Niklaus."
She sighed. "I want my family, Elijah. You...you have your faults but we all do. It's looking past those that which makes us a family. Its why I bare no ill will towards Niklaus despite his treatment of me."

Elijah wanted to believe the words that she spoke but still there was an inkling in the back of his mind that he could not shift, doubt. He nodded in agreement "Let me handle Niklaus" he told her as he knew exactly how to deal with his younger brother.
Finishing his glass of wine in a swift mouthful and placing the glass on the large table next to him, he cleared his throat and gazed at Freya.
"Mother spoke of you often as a child" he recalled "I remember the sorrow in her eyes as she spoke of your death" he admitted.

Freya watched Elijah. She smiled faintly at him, and moved closer to him. "I was so excited for your birth. Following Esther around so I would always be near you. I had already volunteered myself to be your caretaker whenever Esther needed."
She smiled, and then her smile fell. She turned around away from him, and rested against the window.
"But I never got to see you. I never got to hold you or stay up with you when the thunder sounded or when the wolves howled at night."

Elijah smiled softly and he listened to her tales of what she remembered before he was born and he could not deny that it pained him hearing this. A child's life altered by a desperate decision made by their mother in order to conceive.
"Perhaps in time we shall discuss our year apart" he suggested.
He knew that this was not the time to be discussing such matters.

Hearing his words, she turned to face him. Freya's eyes glistened with unshed tears, and she tilted her head slightly at him. Taking a chance, she walked to him, and placed her hand against his shoulder. She squeezed his shoulder slightly, a small, comforting gesture.
"I hope so, little brother."
She let her hand drop from Elijah's shoulder, moving to take hold of her necklace once more. She let out a breath, and then smiled at him once more. "Well...I suppose I should rest. If you change your mind about Katerina, please let me know. I do want to help, Elijah."

Elijah smiled at her gesture and nodded as she walked around him and left the room. Elijah remained where he was and contemplated her offer. He knew that Katerina would never accept Freya's offer even if the visions were taking a toll on her. But he couldn't help but wonder what re-prosecutions it would have.
But what Elijah did know was that he had complete faith that she was in fact his sister. But the decision was whether he trusted her or not.
