Old History – Chapter 1
Cassern
Bo's POV
It's been months since those wolves took over the Quarter, I haven't been there since. I only teleport to the compound to see how Klaus is doing, he's been trying and failing to paint in order to take his mind off of everything that's happened. Another birthday passed, my Brother came to visit which was nice but I wish my Sister would visit. I mean, I get she's very busy watching over our species but a call would be nice, anyway.
I teleport to Klaus' study to find him throwing a canvas across the room in frustration, he yells at the top of his lungs. Elijah enters the study and picks up the canvas and examines it "I suppose we shall have to call this your 'white period'." Elijah said, Elijah and his dry humor "I'm missing a crucial color in my palette—that of my enemies' blood." Klaus said angrily "Well, I recommend a venetian red, with a dash of rust…" Elijah said jokingly.
Klaus loses his temper "It's been months! I've adhered to our plan: sit and do nothing, sell our grief. And now my child is safely away, and another full moon is upon us—another night of pathetic weakness as the moonlight rings steal my strength!" Klaus shouts. Elijah and I give him sympathetic looks, Klaus should've had me create those rings. This situation wouldn't have happened. "The inertia is killing me. I need to act. I- I- I need—I need to spill blood." Klaus said "Well, then, you'll be pleased to know that I've located the last of the twelve rings forged with your blood." Elijah said. Klaus perks up a bit "Then, it's time!" He said "And none too soon. I'm worried about Hayley." Elijah said, poor Hayley, I can't imagine how she feels right now.
Klaus and I go to Marcel's loft, we hear a conversation between Marcel and Josh "I'm not looking for tough guys, Josh. I'm looking for warriors." Marcel said "What's the difference?" Josh asks. Klaus and I make our appearance known "A warrior fights for what they believe in. A warrior fights for his family." Klaus said smiling, Marcel smiles back.
Klaus and Marcel are drinking and playing a game of Go while discussing their plan on how to take New Orleans back from the wolves. I'm standing at the window looking out at the city while I listen to their plan "The wolves have the numbers. Back in 1925, the Guerrera pack was maybe a hundred. We went guerrilla warfare on their asses and wiped them out over a four-day fight. But, we're not just talking about Guerreras now. They've had wolves coming in from packs all over." Marcel said "Well, we don't have to hit them all. Only the twelve with the rings that take me out every full moon." Klaus said.
I turn around and watch them play their game "Wait, you want to find twelve rings? Go out and chop off the hands of every wolf you find 'til you get what you want! I mean, come on! You taught me that." Marcel said, Klaus smirks "You and Elijah are stalling. Why?" Marcel asks confused "Because it's possible they're in possession of something very dangerous to us." Klaus answers.
Marcel thinks for a moment then is stunned "They have the stake that can kill you." Marcel said in realization "It went missing… the night I lost my child. So, it's in play, and the thought of that makes me very nervous. Especially on nights like tonight." Klaus said. Klaus looks out the window, where you can see the full moon begin to rise in the night sky "Why would you tell me that?" Marcel asks uncomfortably "Depends. Do you have it?" Klaus asks suspiciously "Of course not. That kind of weapon does me no good. You die, I die, along with every vampire we've ever sired." Marcel answers "Well, then, perhaps you'd like to help me get it back? We attack the wolves tonight, when the moon hits its apex. They won't expect it while I'm weak." Klaus said.
Later, I'm with Klaus at the compound in his study as the plan went underway, Klaus seems to be gaining his strength back. I sense an army of wolves approach the compound, Hayley is downstairs ready to fight them off. Klaus continues to regain more strength, he smirks then he starts to grab supplies so he can start painting. Seems he's getting some inspiration, two wolves made into the study. I give them aneurysms then Klaus throws paintbrushes at the two wolves, impaling them in their throats.
Klaus drags there bodies over to his canvas, he starts using their blood as paint, gross. Klaus continues to paint, Elijah returns "I'm still not at full strength. Which one of the ring are unaccounted for?" Klaus asks "Only one. I must say, the Brother fought valiantly before Ms. Guerrera escaped." Elijah said. Klaus turns to Elijah stunned "You let her get away?!" Klaus asks incredulously "… Not exactly." Elijah said, I wonder what that means.
The next day, I walk the streets of New Orleans when I see Davina talking with a young man. I drop the illusion on my ears, so I can hear there conversation better "Those weren't for me!" Davina said to the young man laughing. The young man chuckles "I'm Kaleb." He said as he holds out his hand for her to shake "Davina." She said as she shakes his hand "Wow. Cool name! terrible taste in music. You obviously need me." Kaleb said with a charming smile. Well, isn't he charming. I don't trust him, he reminds me of someone who passed away. He tried to charm me when he was alive but I had strict no Vampires policy, male or female. But, now I'm considering having a… whatever this thing is I have with Klaus. Friendship? Maybe something more.
The next day, I follow Davina and do you know else is trailing her; charming Kaleb. I know, I'm being an overprotective parent but this guy is rubbing me the wrong way, I mean he's following her if that's not a red flag then I don't know what is. I keep following Kaleb, who's following Davina to St. Anne's Church, why is she here? I thought this would be the last place she'd ever want to be at. Kaleb stands in front of the church and pulls out his phone, I think he's texting Davina.
He enters the church, I cloak myself and enter the church after him. He hides behind a column as Davina leaves the church, Kaleb goes up to the attic. I wait for him to come back from the attic and leaves the church. I go upstairs to the attic; the door of her former room has a complex spell that's keeping it locked; I've taught her well. Well, whatever she's keeping there, must be quite the secret.
I start to leave the church but I feel presence, I look around and nothing. I go to leave again "Boo!" Someone said, I jump about three feet in fright. I look up to see who the hell scared me, it's my Brother, Mads, "You son of—I almost hexed you!" I say, he scoffs "As if you could." He said arrogantly. I look at him "What are you doing here?" I ask "Following you." Mads answers.
I shake head and walk past him out of the church "Why?" I ask as he follows behind me "Looking out for you, Little Brother." He answers, I scoff. I continue to walk the street, I loss track of Kaleb "Wondering were that witch fellow went?" Mads asks, I stop walking and turn around to face him "You know where he is?" I ask back. Mads looks around being coy and it's pissing me off "No need to make that face, little brother. Come on, follow me." He said, I touch the bridge of my nose and sigh, I follow after him.
Mads took me to Rousseau's, we sat at a booth "What are we doing here?" I ask, Mads glances in certain direction, I see where he's looking and it's Kaleb sitting at a table. The door to Rousseau's opens and Davina walks in, she sits at Kaleb's table. They talk for a while "So, you in love with this witch girl?" Mads asks, I scoff "No, she's like a daughter to me. I taught her magic and how to control it." I answer "Oh, that's too bad. I was hoping you liked someone else, anyone else… beside that hybrid. I don't like him." He said, I give him a look "You never like anyone I date." I say "Yeah, because no one is worthy of you." Mads mumbles.
I look back at the table I only see Kaleb, where did Davina go? I guess she went outside. I see an African-American male approach Kaleb, they seem to be having a heated conversation then he leaves Kaleb alone. People are being told to leave for a private party as Davian re-enters Rousseau's, I get up but Mads pulls me back into my seat "I have us cloaked, no one can see us." He said.
We watch as this scene unfolds in front of us "Kaleb, what's happening?" Davina asks "Some fellow just announced they were closing for a private party." Kaleb said annoyed "We should leave, now." Davina said anxiously. A pack of wolves approaches them, I start to get up again but my brother stops me again "I'm sure, your little witch can handle herself." He said. I look back over at the scene before me "And what's your rush, sweetheart? Why don't you stay and party with us?" The wolf said "Get out of our way. Now." Davina said angrily.
The wolf doesn't move so Davina gives him aneurysm that brings him to his knees, that's my girl, but his fellow wolves start to surround Davina and Kaleb. Kaleb looks around nervously "Can you do that with the rest of them, or…?" He asks "… Not all at once." Davina said panicking. I look at my brother "Mads." I say desperately "Bo." He said coldly, why isn't he letting me help Davina?
The wolf who's brain she fried is back on his feet and he shoves Davina across the room. Kaleb tries to help but he's thrown against the wall behind the bar, the wolves start to descend upon Davina with their fangs. I see Davina twist a bracelet on her wrist "Jwen mwen vennez ca maintenant." She chants, Davina get grabbed by a wolf. He shoves her against the bar and is about to bite her, I start to get up but someone else comes to her rescue.
It's a vampire, an ancient one, he throws the wolf off of Davina "You filthy dogs." He said, jeez, he sounds like my brother. The Vampire tears through the wolves like paper, it reminds me of how Klaus fights. One of the wolves got to Davina and knocked her bracelet off, the Vampire smirks "Well, now. What an interesting turn of events." He said gleefully. He picks up Davina by the front of her shirt "I'm going to enjoy this, girl." He said, I look at my Brother and he nods.
I get up and telekinetic move the vamp away from Davina onto a wall "Who are you, fool?!" He shouts angrily "Someone you don't want to mess with, you ancient dick." I say angry. Elijah enters Rousseau's, Elijah seems to recognize the vamp I threw against the wall "Father?" Elijah said "Hello, Son. I'd hoped to see your Brother first, but we have some unfinished business as well." He said to Elijah, so, this is Mikael. Well, he's a dick.
Elijah attacks Mikael, so I go and check on Davina "Are you alright?" I ask her, she nods. Marcel appears and sees us then he sees Elijah and Mikael fighting "We're getting out of here." He said "No! Marcel, I need my bracelet. I can use it to control him." Davina said frantically, I see the bracelet and motus it to my hand and toss it to Davina, she puts the bracelet back on her "Stop! Go back now." She said to Mikael, he vamp-speeds away. I stare at Davina impressed and disappointed at the same time, Davina shakes her head and leaves.
Elijah notices Kaleb from behind the bar "Something to say?" He said to Kaleb "Not me, mate. Not a bloody thing." Kaleb said. Elijah looks at me and I glare back "What the hell are you looking at?" I say peeved, Elijah narrows his eyes then looks away.
I scoff and teleport away. I feel a presence behind me I turn around, it's Mads "Your little witch is quite devious, wonder where she got that from?" Mads asks, I roll my eyes. I start walking "I can't believe she brought that ancient vampire back from the dead and she controls him no less." Mads said amused, I'm glad he's so amused by all this. What is Davina thinking? Trusting a vampire like Mikael, even if she does control him. How long will that last? I've got to find her and make sure she's okay.
