THE NEXT MORNING Mira is laying on the sofa in Klaus's bedroom. She regains her conscious and finds herself laying on the sofa.

Klaus is sitting on his bed. And Mira gets up and lunges at him, but is blocked by a barrier spell.

"Oh, wow. A barrier spell." Mira said, sarcastically. "I'm part witch, I can just magically whammy myself out of the barrier spell."

"My sister, Freya, has injected a dark object that ceases your witchy magic." Klaus said, getting up and slowly walks up to the barrier spell. "I am truly sorry about your best friend, Miranda, I truly am, but having rager parties and drinking is not gonna heal your pain."

"What do you know about pain? Other than the pain your asshole of a father, Mikael, inflicted upon you?" Mira said to him with a straight face.

"I cannot lose you." Klaus said.

"You already have." Mira tells him, walking away from him and sits down in a sofa chair.

"I had Sophie bring you some new clothes." Klaus said, glancing at a duffle tote bag on the coffee table and walks away.

[Mira's Outfit]

AFTERWARDS Mira is still sitting in the sofa chair, drinking bourbon. Freya slowly walks inside and sits down on Klaus's bed.

"You must be Mira Leuven. The Rebellious She-Wolf." Freya said.

"And you must be Freya Mikaelson. The witch who trapped me in a barrier spell." Mira said with her usual attitude."

"Klaus is worried about you." Freya said.

"No, he's worried that I'm gonna go off the rails and do something rebelliously mischievous." said Mira. "Klaus doesn't care. He spent thousand years of his immortal life getting people to be frightened of him, but really, he's the one that's frightened of being alone, Freya. And Elijah won't stop trying to redeem him."

"You can also be redeemed as well, Miranda." Elijah said.

Freya and Mira looks at Elijah and Freya gets up and walks away.

"I'm truly sorry about your best friend, Jane-Anne Deveraux." Elijah said, slowly walking inside Klaus's bedroom. "I know how much you and Sophie deeply loved and cared about her, but you need to grieve."

"How can you say I can be redeemed as well, Elijah?" Mira asked him. "How many times has Klaus daggered you and Rebekah and left you daggered in your Mikaelson coffins? Or he daggered you and Rebekah after he gotten something from you?"

"Despite what Niklaus has done, I have forgiven him for misdeeds." Elijah said.

"How's Hayley?" Mira asked Elijah. "Is she still struggling with her romantic feelings for both you and Jackson Kenner?"

"Enough." Klaus said, walking inside his bedroom. "I've grown bored with this nonsense. You need to grieve, Mira, or I will make you."

"Go to hell, Niklaus." Mira said.

"Leave me with her, Elijah." Klaus said.

Elijah gently nodded and walks away.

Klaus and Mira exchange intense annoyed looks at each other.

Mira thrusts her hand at the salt circle, and uses her magic to remove the salt circle barrier spell.

Upon realizing that the dark object has wore off, Klaus and Mira exchange looks at each other and she wolfs-speeds Klaus out of the bedroom and onto the floor of the courtyard.

Klaus and Mira both gets up to their feet and she punches him in his face. He just looks at her.

"What? You're not gonna hit back, Klaus?" Mira asked.

"I love you, Mira." Klaus tells her.

Mira's eyes glow golden with small veins underneath her eyes and she punches Klaus again and again, but he's not stopping her.

"Love is nothing to you, Klaus?! You spent a thousand years getting people to be frightened of you, but you're the person that's frightened. Mikael never loved you, Esther turned her back on you?!" Mira exclaimed. "You don't deserve Love because you don't know anything about it." and slaps him.

Klaus looks at Mira, glumly. "You feel any better?"

Mira looks at Klaus and starts to sob softly to herself as her grief consumes her and she falls onto the floor.

Klaus crouches down to Mira, gently wraps his arms around her shoulders, comfortingly.

Klaus, Elijah and Freya exchange glum looks at each other as Klaus comforts Mira.

THAT EVENING in the ballroom, Mira is sitting sideways on the sofa. Klaus slowly walks inside and sits down beside her.

"I am so sorry for what I said to you." Mira tells him.

"I forgive you." Klaus tells her. "And I also meant that I love you."

"Klaus?" Mira said. "Perhaps, you can say "I love you" after all of this nonsense with the witches."

"I want to say it now because you and I may not get another chance to do so." Klaus said to her. "Mira, you and I are both capable of doing monstrous things, but unlike me, you're compassionate."

"I love you too." Mira tells him. "You wanted me to hit you."

"How else was I suppose to get you to vent out your emotions?" Klaus said. "You and I are almost similar somehow."

"You and I both have a darkness." Mira said to him. "And by the way, did you just say "I love you?"

"I did." Klaus said. "I shouldn't have told you that I did not love you from the start and I no longer had romantic affections for you, but . . ."

"But you had your head up your ass and behaved like a total asshole." Mira said, cheekily.

Klaus smiles a little. "Yeah. But I was gonna say that I had other things. And so, Mira Leuven, I love you."

"I love you too, Klaus Mikaelson." Mira said.

Klaus and Mira exchange small smiles at each other. He gently takes her hand and plants a kiss on her knuckles.
