Author's Notes: This story will contain some BDSM elements and sexually explicit content. Anyway, I just couldn't resist writing this one. I know. I am helpless when it comes to my muse.

"Just ten more hours, Niklaus…" Elijah informed, glancing momentarily towards his brother who was currently sitting beside him on the passenger seat.

Klaus remained surprisingly quiet when they left New Orleans. Elijah could feel his brother's increasing uneasiness at the prospect of confronting their father once again.

Meanwhile, Elijah peered through the rearview mirror to check on the young witch at the back of the car. Davina Claire was looking out the window and appeared to be bristling in silence after being forcefully dragged in their journey with magic-blocking manacles wrapped around her wrists.

Davina Claire was the reason all three of them were travelling to Mystic Falls. For whatever reason, the young witch had told them about Mikael's plan to use the collapsing Other Side inable for him to return to the living world. Klaus had immediately called the Bennett witch to confirm this fact and as soon as they realized that the Harvest Girl wasn't completely lying to them, Elijah and Klaus had instantly decided to leave for Mystic Falls with the intent to prevent Mikael from returning back to life. So they left Rebekah to take care of Hayley and the unborn baby while they quickly went on their journey.

They could have flown to Virginia but with the Other Side slowly collapsing and the magic getting unstable, the weather was getting too unpredictable. It was not an ideal way to travel when the chance of their private plane crashing along the way would just delay them. More than that, Elijah didn't want a dead witch in his hands.

Of course, they had to include a reluctant witch in their travel plans. They choose to keep Davina by their side to learn more about her true intention and perhaps as an added precaution against Mikael. At the moment, the young witch was clearly both angry and unhappy to be there with them.

"How many hours exactly?"

Elijah heard the girl asked in obvious impatience. He was about to reply when Klaus answered her before he could.

"Davina, love, you were a better company when you were trying very hard to pretend that my brother and I don't exist for more than an hour. So I advise you to keep it that way until we reach our destination, lest you will find yourself without a tongue sooner than you might think," Klaus stated.

Elijah glanced at the mirror in time to see the girl's reaction and wasn't surprised to see the girl opening her mouth to deliver an angry retort at Klaus.

With him still driving, Elijah inwardly sighed at the thought of listening to hours of Klaus and Davina bickering. After months of watching them go at each other's throat repeatedly, Elijah began to suspect that the two probably secretly enjoyed their constant clashes far too much than they wanted to admit. The tension between the two was nearly explosive and if he didn't know any better, Klaus was clearly torn between considering killing the witch permanently, or doing something else to put the girl in her place.

"Your threats are getting old Klaus. Well, I'm not surprised, considering that you are more than a thousand years old already. So I think you better come up with something new, old man...because your senility is showing," The girl responded in a voice dripping with sarcasm.

Inciting my brother's wrath won't do you no good, little witch. Elijah wanted to warn Davina but he didn't have the chance to say anything when he sensed the palpable spike of rage coming from his brother at the witch's provocation.

As expected, Klaus didn't take the insult very well. The growl was only the warning Elijah got right before Klaus pulled his seat all the way back in seconds, where the Original hybrid then climbed right in the back seat with Davina. The young witch tried to escape from his furious brother but Klaus simply pushed her against the sidedoor none-too-gently.

"Brother, don't you dare kill her," Elijah stated hastily as he watched from the rearview mirror when Klaus wrapped his hand around the girl's throat.

"What will you have me do then, Elijah?! She just called me senile! I can't very well ignore her blatant disrespect! She deserves some form of punishment for daring to insult me!" Klaus snarled angrily.

Elijah watched as his brother tightened his grip around the girl's throat until the young witch was gasping for breath. The girl tried to pry his brother's hand away from her but his hybrid brother was too strong for her.

"Then, punish her, just don't kill her yet. She might be of use to us when we get to Mystic Falls." He reasoned with his brother.

"I think she is more of use to us dead than alive, brother! How many times must we allow her to live despite her many attempts to neutralize us?" Klaus fired back.

Elijah observed how his brother's eyes flashed gold as Klaus glared daggers at the still struggling witch in his hand. Davina looked like she was about to suffocate and Elijah couldn't let his brother kill the girl even though she had been a persistent menace, a deadly thorn on his family's side since they returned to New Orleans.

"I agree that the girl has been a complete nuisance these past months but you must let her go, Niklaus. Marcellus, and even the bartender you are quite fond of - Camille, was it? She will not be happy when she finds out that you killed the witch. So kindly stop choking the girl before she dies of asphyxiation, brother." Elijah stated calmly and noted how Klaus seemed to listen the moment he mentioned the bartender's name.

He observed as Klaus reluctantly released his tight hold on the girl's throat just enough for the witch to breathe properly again. "Punish her if you must, but do not kill her yet, Niklaus."

"Then, what will be the fitting punishment for her, brother?" Klaus asked in a cold voice.

Elijah could still sense his brother seething in anger but it was mellowed down.

"If I had been the one she insulted, I would have spanked her." Elijah said without thinking much of it.

However, as soon as he suggested this to his brother, Elijah suddenly felt a sudden ominous feeling settle at the pit of his stomach when he noticed the dark gleam in Klaus' eyes as his hybrid brother considered his words.

"I think I agree with you brother, the little witch here definitely needs spanking." Klaus replied with a sadistic grin on his face.

The ominous feeling in his gut intensified and Elijah instantly knew that he made a mistake for even suggesting this option to his brother. In their thousands years of existence, Elijah had seen the many depraved things his hybrid brother had done. In fact, he had been dragged to do unspeakable acts alongside his brother more often than not and not even blink at the lengths Klaus would show his wicked predilections.

However, as soon as Klaus took his suggestion to heart, Elijah realized that he was leading his brother straight into something that Klaus would definitely enjoy. Perhaps far too much for his liking.

Elijah knew that Klaus was a complete sadist. However, Klaus' sadistic nature didn't only include torturing and killing people at his leisure, but his brother also liked to extend this to his sexual activities as well. Elijah knew for a fact that Klaus loved to spank the women he bedded, preferably when they were on restraints.

With Davina wearing the magic-blocking manacles around her wrists, Elijah could only imagine how his brother would react the moment Klaus unleashed his sadistic side on the young witch.

This would certainly not go well at all.

Hence, the thought of subjecting Davina to Klaus' punishment. Elijah instantly knew that Klaus would not be able to resist doing more than punishing the little witch, especially if Davina responded in a certain way that was far too tempting for his sadistic brother.

"Time for some punishment, little witch."

Elijah heard Klaus growl at the girl and he was about ready to utter a protest, when his brother moved all of a sudden. Klaus pulled the girl towards him before Elijah could do or say anything else. In a flash, his hybrid brother had taken the young witch across his lap and lifted up her skirt to reveal a white lacy undergarment underneath.

He could only feel worry for the witch when he recognized the dark look that flashed across Klaus' face when his brother slowly cast a reluctant appreciative glance at the witch's lean thighs and her exposed derriere.

And yes. Elijah silently admitted that the witch had a lovely derriere.

"NO!" The witch instantly shouted while she wriggled against Klaus' hold. "Don't you even dare do it, you bastard! I'm not a child!"

"Shut up, little witch! Be grateful that I'm only going to spank you instead of killing you!" Klaus snapped in anger.

Elijah pushed his foot down on the brake pedal with the intent to stop his brother, but it was far too late. Klaus was already bringing down a hand on the witch's bottom with such force that the witch couldn't help but cry out in pain soon after.

The moment Elijah heard the witch's piercing cry and saw the way the girl arched her back beneath Klaus' punishing hand. Elijah could only feel a sense of dread when he noticed the sudden hungry look on Klaus' face and his brother's rapid breathing when Klaus continued to spank the witch.

There was no denying it now. Elijah felt like he had just led his hybrid brother straight into something that he could not resist.

Elijah was certain that Klaus would completely ruin the innocent witch before they returned to New Orleans.
