Damon P.O.V
Thing in Mystic Falls were not the same anymore it didn't feel like home with all that went on since going on the island to find the cure, everything changed dramatically. The girl I was in love with Elena Gilbert attacked Star all down to jealously of the relationship I shared with her. Star and I may not have seen each other for over 147 years but the bond I had with her was something different. I'm Damon Salvatore the guy who the heartbreaker, a love them and leave type of guy, having a woman as a close friend is shocker I know. With Star it was different we had a strange relationship, we could talk about everything, and anything from hopes and dreams to our deepest darkest secrets. I hadn't even been like that with my own brother, I don't know what this connection was that I had with her, but it was something I never wanted to lose. So when it came down to Elena the girl I claimed to love, and Star there wasn't any competition.
I wanted to leave everything behind I could see that Stefan and Elena were igniting that old flame, and anyone would think I would have been jealous, but I wasn't strangely enough. What did that actually mean? Did it mean whatever feeling I actually felt for Elena were never real? From the moment when I slept with her after the Miss Mystic Fall pageant I think a part of me knew that I didn't feel for her as much as I thought I did. The Elena world wind romance wasn't what I expected and with the fact she was sired to me, me didn't help matters either. When I looked at all of it in a clear prospective Elena only belonged to one Salvatore, and that was my brother. What they had was real love and I just came in the middle of all of that.
Then there was my brother who was in love with two totally different women his first love Star Mikaelson, and Elena Gilbert they were very different like fire and ice. Since Star came back into our lives I saw the confusion with my brother he wanted to hate her, I still recall the moment when he saw her all the hurt he felt when seeing her. Stefan was kidding himself the whole time his emotions were all over the place. With my brother he would always turn to one person and that was Elena, and that when I knew I couldn't ruin our relationship anymore. Katherine did that back in 1864 and I weren't going to let history repeat itself.
So I was ready to leave, Star was finally sorting herself out even though she was having some strange episodes, but she had survived without me for 147 and I was pretty sure she could do it again. I also came to the conclusion that love is over rated and I changed as a person due to the fact that I was trying to win the heart of a girl who would never be mine. This is me now the careless vampire who didn't think before he did anything who didn't think about the consequences, I was going to be the Damon Salvatore who love being not the one everyone else expected me to be. So I was going to travel the word you know check out a few new places feed on some hot Latin girls, spring break was coming up and all those college girls going wild sound like the perfect start to me.
Well that what I thought was going to happen instead somehow I got convince by a pair of blue sparkly eyes aka Star, to move to New Orleans. I was genuinely hesitating at first with the fact that she chose to spend the rest of her life with that douche Klaus, then when I thought about it. My best friend and I living it up in New Orleans and giving Klaus hell while living with him gave some sense of pleasure. Plus the fact I haven't lived in New Orleans since 1942 with that crazy chick Charlotte, I thought that maybe I could get a fresh start. What I didn't know about this fresh start would involve me living with the originals. Now I was all ready to go and get my own place, you know so I could have a little fun without being frown upon by the dick Klaus or his highly annoying brother, but Star being Star gave me those puppy dog eyes and somehow convince me to stay on the Mikaelson plantation.
The one thing that stunned me when I got here was the fact that she-wolf aka Hayley had taken up residents, well it looks like Klausy had been a very naughty boy and got her knocked up. What I couldn't understand that even after Star finding this out she still chose to be with him, personally I think she needed her head testing. How could she be with him when his having a child with someone who clearly unstable. Star was adamant that she was going to stand by Klaus that she couldn't be without him, I want to test her sanity. but when I looked into her eyes I knew she loved him more than anything. As much as I hate the dick, and how immorally wrong this set up is with his wife and baby momma in the same house. As a friend I needed to stick by Star, she see it as a walk in the park right now, but when that baby bump starts growing, and they see a scan picture for the first time. I know that it going to hit Star pretty bad and I'm going to be there when it happens to support her.
So I guess you're wondering how all of this is planning out for me? Well put this way every morning I wake up knowing that I'm going to annoy the crap out of Klaus, and the fact that he can't hurt me cause of Star makes it a little more entertaining. Elijah didn't make much of an appearance around the house, I think he and his little bro were on bad terms. I've over heard a few conversations about some guy called Marcel, apparently he was running this town and Klaus didn't like it. Maybe I should go and befriend this guy, but before I do that I need my daily dose of winding the crap out of the hybrid, my source of entertainment of the day. I made my way out of my room and walked pass Klaus and Star room, the door was opened and Star was sitting in front of the dresser looking deep in thought. I knew what was on her mind it all to do with this baby business, I still remember her telling me that more than anything she wanted a family of her own. Now with the half breed and the she-wolf having a baby Star was putting on a big brave face. I tapped on the door she turned around.
"Hey did you sleep well?" She asked me smiling but I knew all of that was fake, she looked terrible like she had been crying.
"Yeah great. But you look like hell." I told her bluntly she shook her head. "Come on Star, we both know why you're like this." She sighed and she was about to speak but she stopped.
"Still here." I heard the dick hybrid say, I turned to him and smiled.
"Yes I'm. And you're still a dick. So nothing changed there either" I watched as he clenched his jaw I knew he wanted to attack, but he wouldn't not with Star standing so close by.
"Why can't the both of you just get along?!" Star yelled while she stomped into the bathroom slamming the door, yes I was right we hadn't even been here a week and it getting to her.
"Well-done." Klaus spat, was this guy for real? She wasn't upset cause me, she upset because of his stupid one night stand.
"Well yeah of course it me, I'm the one who had sex with the werewolf and got her pregnant. How did that happen again?" Klaus super-sped to me pinning me to the wall, this had become a habit with him he wouldn't actually do anything to me it was just threats.
"You're trying my patience Damon." He threaten I couldn't help but smirk at him, he knew as well as I did that Star was upset over the whole baby issue. She may love him but even he knew it was hard for her.
"Or is it because you know I'm right." I removed his hand from my throat. "One thing you need to understand, she may say that she ok, but if you know Star as well as I do, then you would know she's actually not." He stood there not saying a word. "Piece of advice, she came all these way to be with you Klaus. She chose to be with you. All you've done is plot a scheme about some Marcel guy." Klaus eyes widen yeah he must of thought I didn't hear the conversations. "You love her as much as you say you do. Then for once in your goddamn miserable life prove it." I didn't care if he liked the way I spoke to him, he wanted to be with Star he need to start treating her how she was meant to be treated. One thing about Klaus he didn't realize is that the last time round he put his scheming to get doppelgänger before his own marriage, and now he going to repeat the same mistake. This wasn't to do with him it to do with her, Star has given her heart over to him completely to my disliking. For some reason he makes her happy, then I need to support her and tell the dick where he going wrong.
I had to leave the house considering how big it was it was getting far too crowded there was too much tension for my liking, I mean I left all that kind of crap back in Mystic Falls. What I needed to do is get requited with this city once again. I got into my car and drove into French Quarters it had changed a hell of a lot even from when I came here with Stefan a few months back. There was kind of a different vibe about the place, I got out of my car and began to walk down the main strip not too far from the French quarters. That vibe I was feeling I notice a few people looking at me strangely they were probably witches, there was something definitely up with this place and right now it wasn't important. All I knew right now is the fact I needed something strong to drink. I finally saw a place that served alcohol, l all I could think something strong to curb this craving I'm having for blood. I approached the bar and I sat down I looked up and saw a cute bar tender, she looked at me and I was taken aback slightly. I couldn't help but admire her she had long brown hair with slight curl to it she had these amazing brown eyes and heart shape face with exotic feature. I've not looked at anyone like that before since... I don't think I've done that before.
"Hi, how can I help you?" I looked up at her and smile she really did have an adorable smile, I shook my head I'm sworn off women for a while.
"Bourbon, please." She smiled and turned away to grab a bottle of bourbon, I couldn't help but look at her ass in those tight jean. No Damon you are not here to check out the bar tender, I need to get focus on what I'm going to do about Star she clearly upset about something.
"So what brings you to New Orleans, cutie?" She smiles flirtatiously I notice her accent weren't from these parts.
"Just moved here. What a pretty thing like you doing here it not exactly a place for someone like you." She didn't look like Louisianan type of girl, she looked like one of those city girls so what would she be doing in swamp central, and she was flirting with me maybe she the type of girl who liked a little danger in her life. "So any good places to go to around here?" She pours the bourbon and gives it to me. "Thank you." I drained the glass and put it back in front of her to pour another. "You didn't answer my question." She looked at me a little sceptically trying to fight away a smile, I really hadn't seen anything this beautiful since... Elena I guess but she was different from Elena like she had some spunk to her I bet she fiery.
"Do you always flirt with strangers?" I couldn't help but chuckle, I didn't even notice I was flirting with her. "What type of girl do I look like to you?" She leaned on the bar and looked at me while arching her brow, I picked up my drink and drained it once again and placed it back down.
"Well only make exception for the pretty ones." Now I was flirting with her, I notice her heart accelerate slightly. "You just don't seem like a New Orleans kind of girl, and it's Damon by the way." Granted I could be like her great great great grandfather but she was smoking hot.
"Thank you. Well, New Orleans is my home. And it's Christianna. Christi for short." Christianna that was a strange but beautiful name, I heard my phone beep I pulled it out of my pocket and I had a new message from Star.
Star: Damon can you meet me at the city park, there something real urgent I need to talk to you about.
"Pleasure meeting you Christi." I got hold of her hand kisses the top of it, I looked up at her and I swear I just saw her blush.
"I'm sure that we will meet again, Damon." She spoke confidently I picked up my jacket from the chair.
"I'm pretty sure we will too." I think I may be looking at this whole New Orleans experience a little differently I know I've sworn myself of women but there no harm having a little fun. Putting all of that to one side I wonder what Star wants to talk about me urgently for? I'm hoping that she come to her senses that she ditching that douche hybrid.
Klaus P.O.V
I felt like I was on top of the world right now. When I went back to Mystic Falls I half expect for Star to tell me that she chose to end her life, or the fact she didn't want me in her life. I recall that moment when I walked into the Salvatore library and watched her hold that stake over her heart I felt fear, for a thousand years I've not felt that kind of fear before. She really thought that her presents here was wrong that she was some form of evil, she couldn't have been further from the truth. Star was an angel sent down from the heaven she was a blessing in each of our lives, but that moment in time she did not see that. I tried to reason with her make her see the bigger picture of all, the people she was going to hurt by taking her life. Even though I spoke the truth all I felt in that one moment whatever I told her was irrelevant, that she had made up her mind. I started to make plans to move all my belonging back to New Orleans, throughout the whole day I felt that I would have one of the Salvatore brother inform me of Star death. Yes me Niklaus Mikaelson nervous throughout the whole day. When Star finally came my undead heart raced at 100mph once being that she was still alive, and second being that I was going to get another rejection from her. That wasn't the case Star finally admitted to me that I'm the only man whom she ever want, I felt a burst of emotions run though me emotions I had not felt for hundreds of years. I had my Star back she want to be with me be my queen as I took control of New Orleans again, which I did not see as a difficult task.
New Orleans had not change too much in a hundred years, well a few things had changed due to the fact that Marcel had taken over. I wanted to know how he kept the witches in line how could he actually know that they were using magic, he had a secret weapon and I intend to find out what it is. When Star told me she was coming to New Orleans I didn't expect the Salvatore who got under my skin to come along also, I weren't happy about this arrangement at all, but Star wanted him here as much to my disliking. Damon Salvatore and I under the same roof wasn't going to work out, and Damon knew that too he even attempted to move out, but my sweet Star convinced him to stay believe me I was not happy about that. Another person who annoyed me was my dear noble Elijah was making deals behind my back he told the witches that I would corporate with them due to the fact that Sophie Devereaux linking herself with Hayley. Hayley the girl who is carrying my child this was a big surprise to me as for a thousand years this has never happened, well not to my knowledge. I have to admit at first I didn't believe it, when I thought about it a little more my own child, my own flesh and blood I began to think a little more rationally about it all. I was going to be a father the man who know to be the most evil thing upon this earth having a child. Elijah wanted me to play by certain rules, I don't do rules and I will not be told what to do, I knew what I had to do and how to go about it. I knew that Elijah wouldn't agree with it. I did the only thing I could do and that was dagger him not for my personal gain, but the fact I needed him out of the way while I'm conspiring to get my town back. I've dagger Elijah many times before but this time it was a little harder as deep down I knew this was wrong.
Star seem to settling well from our last visit here, it appeared that she had been to New Orleans prior she knew Marcel and there seem to of been some kind of history there between the two of them. I wanted to press on the matter, but I didn't want to come across as the jealous husband, Star had proven to me that I'm the man she wants to spend eternity with. So Star and Marcel have history who don't have any. My focus should be on getting my town back and I will not let anything get in my way of that. I had looked into how Marcel runs thing around here and I notice that he has close knit companion, a group of vampire that he tells his interment details to. Somehow I need to add a mole in there to be my eyes and ears but unfortunately for me, Marcel has made seen fit that his family are all on vervain so they can't be compelled by any original. Which was making my task a little harder but I will succeed in this take over.
Once again I woke up to my beautiful wife each morning I couldn't be any happier, but I notice that there was something on her mind. She would appear to be happy but behind her smile there was something else, I didn't know if it was due to the fact of the whole finding her father Silas, or that maybe Hayley carrying my child was taking a toll on her. I know that if she actually had a problem or she was actually upset about something, she would speak to me about it because that what couples do they share their problems. Well Damon Salvatore thought otherwise, and I wanted to take his heart out his such a smart ass, and thinks he knows Star better than I do. To give me relationship advice when he hadn't had one in the last 147 years. How I loath that man, he tried to give some form of advice to prove to Star that she mattered, of course she knew she mattered if she didn't then why would if she upped and moved. This was one of Damon childish tantrums thinking he right when he clearly not, I will not accept advice from a man who don't even know how to have a relationship. My personal perspective on Damon Salvatore he can't commit in a long term relationship, look at the two women he had been in love with Katerina Petrova and Elena Gilbert identical girls both failed miserably.
Star was annoyed with the pair of us so I left her alone I think she didn't need me and Damon at each other throats, so I decided to make her breakfast, even though Star is a vampire she still liked to enjoy the pleasure of human food. I wanted to make a traditional New Orleans speciality Calas and fitters, I hoped that she would enjoy these I rarely cook, and I recall back in 1900 when one of our cooks introduced these to us. They were as heavenly as they melted in your month and I wanted to attempt to show Star one of the pleasures of living in such a town.
"You're cooking?" I heard Star voice filled with surprise, I turned to face her and smiled she looked beautiful as always.
"Well I do know my way round a kitchen." She smirked as she approached me, she didn't appeared to be as upset as before, she wrapped her arms around my waist and gave me one her sweet kisses that would make everything fade away. "Why don't you take a seat love, breakfast will be served in a few minutes." A grin appeared in her face I think seeing me cooking for her was something she didn't expect.
"Ok then handsome." She spoke a little flirtatiously and sat on one of the stools at the breakfast bar, I place Calas and fitters on the plate and dusted power sugar and placed it in front of her. "Smells great what is it?" She asked as she cut into it.
"Calas and fitters, there a traditional New Orleans breakfast." Star smiled at me sweetly that smile reminded me why I was hopelessly in love with her. "Tuck in." I filled up my own plate and dusted some sugared powered.
"Oh My God." Star moaned I couldn't help but smile. "Nik these are amazing." I picked up my plate and sat down beside her. "So what with the whole making me breakfast? I thought you would be out or something, you normally are at this time." She spoke with a little sarcasm in her voice.
"Is there a problem Star?" I asked putting my fork down turning to her "You see Damon seem to think there is, but of course if there was, you would tell me wouldn't you?" She sigh and continued to eat "So there is clearly a problem then." I raised my voice slightly. "Care to shall?" I was annoyed as I thought that if there was a problem within our relationship we were adults we should be able to talk about it.
"It's nothing." She picked up her plate and walked over to the trash and threw food in, I didn't understand her behaviour right now. I'm trying here to be understand to take her feeling into consideration and all I'm getting is cold shoulder.
"Well there is something wrong." I super sped to her taking her by surprise. "Tell me. Or do I have to compel it out of you." I regretted the words as soon as they left my mouth, Star stood there speechless. "Star..." She shook her head and was about to walk off I caught her arm. "I'm sorry I didn't—" Before I could apologies she interrupted me.
"So when there something I wish not to discuss with you, you're going to compel it out of me?!" She raised her voice and she had every right to be mad, I wasn't used to this whole being considerate with another person feeling. Hayley entered the kitchen and I notice Star face harden. "Why don't you feed you baby momma, I'm sure she and your unborn child will enjoy Calas and fitters." She was about to walk off and intercepted her.
"Star…" I spoke through my teeth as I didn't not want the wolf to witness this.
"I've lost my appetite." She walked out of the room in moment I heard the front door slam, I didn't know what to do I don't recall it being this difficult in 1400, but then the Star from then has changed she wasn't the same woman, but I still love her just as much and I need to adapt to the new her.
Christianna P.O.V
After three long years I'm back in my home town of New Orleans I guess you're wondering why I left. Well I'm not your typical 21 year old I'm a witch. my family come from a long line of witches one of the strongest in New Orleans. The Claire line has been in New Orleans for more than 10 generations my grandmother Bethany was one of the elders before to her passing, she was one of the most powerful witches of this century. She only had two daughter Stella who was my mother and her younger sister Ruby, my grandmother had passed her ability down to her daughter making them both powerful witches too. They followed in my grandmother footsteps and became devoted to the coven, they did when that needed to do to keep the witches safe in New Orleans. My mom passed away when I was five, I don't remember much about to be honest I was shown photo of her and told stories of how she was this amazing woman. But I couldn't remember not one memory of her which sadden me, as not only did I not know my mom but I never knew my father only his name Andre that was it just a name nothing else.
My grandmother brought me up from the age of 5 until I was 16 when she passed away, that was the worst day of my life when I found her on the kitchen floor not breathing. I felt lost and alone the only parent I ever knew was gone, they told us it was heart failure, but I notice that my grandmother was trying to perform a spell before her passing with grimoire opened with a variety of ingredient. So with that I had to move in with my aunt Ruby and my cousin Davina she was an only child too, when I moved in she was only 11 at the time. Davina was more like a little sister to me rather than a cousin, living with Ruby and Davina was cool from the start I felt settle as Ruby always made sure I was ok, which I found comforting too I know. I was this 16 year old girl but at the time I felt like a venerable child that every person who ever came close to in time were taken away from me. So I learnt to back away from people, like friends in school, and even my own aunt and cousin. Davina wouldn't allow it she cling on to me like a koala not matter what I did to try and back away from her, those blue eyes and that adorable smile was my kryptonite. Even though I built this sisterly relationship with her with my aunt Ruby I kept my distance and there was a reason behind that.
With me being part of the Claire line and the fact that my grandmother taught me how to cast spells also how to control my powers, my grandmother once told me that my father Andre was a witch too or warlock as the men liked to be called he came from a line of the descendent of the Salem witched. My great grandmother Katherine (Schneider) Cary, she was one of the young ladies who was part of the trial, but somehow she managed to escape from it all, she was one of the true witches to of been accused of witch craft. She changed her name to Katherine Biss and moved to New Orleans as it was safer for witches in this area of the states. My father line of the family were a very powerful line of witches, many would come to seek guidance, and learning from the members of the family and coven. So what all of this got to do with me? Well I've got the two most powerful lines of witch blood that flows through my veins.
Well my dear aunt Ruby and the elders wanted me to be part of something they call the harvest that I would stand side by side with the elders while four innocent girls are sacrifice so that our magic would not die. When I refused they told me that I didn't have a choice in the matter as this is part of who I am, I never chose to be this person and it wasn't my fault of who my parents were. Ruby and I had a huge argument about all of this, and I discovered that my grandmother was preparing me for this that everything she actually taught me was to stand with the elders and help with the harvest. Ruby kept on telling me that I had no choice in the matter that it was my fate, I believe that I chose my own fate and I decide what I do. So for me to choose my own fate I had to leave New Orleans I had planned it all over the 2 years that I was at Ruby home. I worked in Agnes shop to earn a little money they saw it as I was working I could learn about ancestry line to, it was coming in one ear and out of the other I didn't want to know about any of it. At times I would lose my temper anything that was in a glass form would break, I even accidently set the back room of Agnes shop on fire due to the fact that she kept on insisting that I need to help with the harvest. This witches didn't understand the meaning of I didn't want to play any part of it, all and they were going to be in for a real shock soon.
I finally escaped before leaving I casted a spell to hide myself from the coven from finding me, I bet they didn't think I was smart enough to do that or the fact that I knew how to do it. The spell was pretty easy considering the ingredients were a little hard to get hold of, and the fact I could only cast it on a full moon didn't help either, but it worked though. I was finally free from it all from New Orleans I travelled up state until I got to my destination of Los Angeles. With the money I saved I had enough to get a small apartment in the Mid-city, it didn't take me long to find work I got a job in a bar called 'The Mint' they knew I was only 18 at the time so they let me collect glasses and help behind the bar but I wasn't allowed to serve. My boss Mason was really sweet he was only a few years older than me had taken a shine to me, he wanted me to learn how to do the back office kind of stuff. The reason behind that was the fact when I did go and collect glasses guys would hit on me and on a couple of occasions I retaliated. So Mason thought it was best that I helped with the books with the accounts tax returns, he taught me everything i needed to know. For three years I lived it up in the beautiful city of LA, and it felt awesome but there was always something niggling in the back of my mind that I kept trying to block out and that was my cousin Davina. During the three years of being away it became more intense I would have dreams about her. I recall my first dream being with the both of us in New Orleans City Park, she was asking why did I leave? Was it because I didn't care for her? It was the same repetitive dream for months I wouldn't have them every night, but I knew that Davina was trying to connect to me through her magic. For her to this it meant she was pretty powerful too.
The last dream I had of her actually terrified me it wasn't like the repetitive dream I kept having of her asking me why I left, this one was different it was in St Louis cemetery back home it was night time and there were torches lit. There was a crowd of people no matter as much I tried to push through the crowed I couldn't see what was happening, when I fought my way through it all there was only one face I saw and that was of Davina. She look frighten and scared along with three others girls, before I could do anything I woke up screaming. I didn't know what that meant but I had a feeling it had something to do with the harvest they spoke about, I know the reason why I left was not to be part of that but I can't allow my cousin to be a part of it all. That dream had a meaning I knew in my heart it did and something in the pit of my stomach felt that Davina life was in danger. So I had to swallow my pride and go back to New Orleans, I wouldn't be able to live with myself if something happened to her and I didn't do a thing to stop it. So I told Mason that I had to go back home due to family issues, I felt really on edge about it all. All I did was pack a bag of clothes and left while travelling back to New Orleans I felt different in a way, like as the miles were getting less and less something inside me was growing. It really strange to explain, but I had this same feeling when I left three years ago, I didn't know what it meant but right now it wasn't important. My main focus is to make sure that Davina ok as soon as I know that my ass is leaving New Orleans behind, I just need to shake off this bad vibe that I'm feeling.
When I arrived in New Orleans the first place I went to was my aunt home, she still kept the key under the mat looks like nothing changed around here. When I went into the house there was dust sheets over all the furniture I began to look around the house and everywhere was the same, I looked in Davina room and it looked like she hadn't been here in a long while too. Did they leave town? I made my way down stairs and walked into the kitchen, I didn't know what any of this meant I mean if Ruby and Davina have left town. Why the hell did I feel drawn to come back here? Something caught my eye on the kitchen table, I picked it up and it was a memorial pamphlet as soon as I saw the name it fell out of my hands. The name was Ruby Ann Claire the name of my aunt the date of her funeral was from three days ago, I felt tears rolling down my cheek knowing that I wasn't here for her or for Davina either. I needed to find Davina and look after her and I need to know what happen to Ruby.
I had been here for three months and luckily for me half of the witches in the French quarters didn't recognise me. During these three months I had found out what happen to my aunt and cousin, Davina was chosen as one of the girls for the harvest and Ruby was actually proud of this. I didn't understand the sick mindedness of these witches sacrificing four innocent girls, from the whisper that I had heard is that the harvest ritual was disturbed by the vampires in this town. Actual one main vampire Marcel he along with his vamp friend murdered innocent witches. They wasn't totally innocent, but no blood should have been shredded, everyone who was at the ritual was murdered or escaped. Davina body wasn't ever found, but she wasn't dead as if she died the ritual would have been complete. So my aim in all of this is to find Davina and take her away from all of this and the only way I could do that is find out what the vampires have done with her. So I got myself a job in a bar that was associated with vampire especially the leader of them all Marcel. I need to find out as much information as I could, as they wasn't quite when they were drinking, they were like a bunch of hooligan, which worked to my advantage at time. When Marcel would walk in their behaviour would change they would act like the good vampire as they were expected to be. What can I say about Marcel apart from the fact he a big flirt, and he appeared to a have thing for me, that guy kept trying his moves on me again and again. I wasn't going to be foolish enough to fall for any crap that a vampire was going to feed to me, especially from him so I smiled sweet flirted back enough to keep him interested. When I would get any kind of information about what happened that night in St Louis cemetery, and I looked into it, it always came to a dead end but I weren't going to give up until I found her.
Today was another one of them days where they would all roll in and act like jerks leaving the place like a state, but of course Christi was here to clean up there crap. But there was something different that happen today a new guy came in and he was really cute. With his raven black hair and those mesmerizing crystal blue eyes along with that fine feature face, I felt like was in a trance for a few moments I hadn't seen anything like that in whole time I've been in New Orleans. Once he approached the bar and ordered a drink my hand touched his and I knew what he was, he was another one of them a freaking vampire. Of course he would be it seemed like all the hot guys in this city were all bloodsucker, and just my luck the one who I thought was hot happened to be one. We flirted and spoke casually apparently he was new to town, knowing the poor guy he probably came here to visit and Marcel recruited him for his army. I notice he wore a daylight ring with the initial of 'D' that when I discovered his name was Damon. Well the conversation was cut short and he left I wasn't too sure I would see him again but something told me that we would cross paths once again.
I finished my shift at the bar and began to make my way back to crappy apartment I was living in, god I my life had gone downhill compared to the life I was living in LA. Even though I hated it here that much I need to always keep myself in check with the fact that I'm here to find out what happen to Davina, to find where she to take her away from all of this. I still beat myself up I should have taken her when I left three years ago, but I was selfish I didn't think that Davina would have been chosen or the fact Ruby would of allowed any of this to happen.
"Well isn't it the sweet bar tender." I heard a familiar voice I looked up to see Marcel who was smiling flirtatiously, I smiled at him
"Hello Marcel." He titled his head and gave me that look that he always gave me like he wanted to eat me up, which I'm surprised he hadn't down yet.
"How are you settling in?" He asked as he continued to admire me. "You know I could show you around. French quarters is where it all happening." He began to smirk yeah, I knew what was happening in the French quarters, but I didn't want play part of any of it. Marcel somehow knew when witches would use magic, I tested the out the theory a few times just small spells expecting him or his goons to turn up but they didn't.
"I would like that, but I thought that you were busy. Are you sure that you will have time for me?" I sweetly smiled at him I knew he was a busy guy, and I need to keep up this act with him that I had some kind of interest. I knew I was playing a dangerous game with him but if I was going to find out what happened to Davina I needed to play with fire.
"For you Christi, I have all the time in the world." I notice that he was looking at something I followed his gaze to see what had captured Marcel's attention. I looked at the woman and she seem really familiar like I had seen her before, where had I seen her?
"Marcel, who is that?" I asked while point that the lady from across the street.
"That is and old friend, Star." I notice that he was looking at in a way like in a longing way, he turned back to me he had a look of concern on his face for a moment then Marcel typical smile came upon his face. "Why you interested, jealous?" I rolled my eyes and tosses back my hair Marcel was really full of himself.
"I don't get jealous Marcel. I make men jealous. She just looks very familiar to me like I met her before? Because for some strange reason I feel like I know her is all." Where the hell did I know her from? I mean I seen a picture of her somewhere, but that was years ago and she appears to not aged one bit could she be like Marcel a vampire? I heard Marcel clear his throat which snapped me out of my thoughts.
"Of course Christianna." He smiled and looks back over at cross the street then back to me "She's new to town she just moved here with her husband. I doubt you know her." I knew he was lying about something that one of my gift "Well if you ever want a real tour of New Orleans look me up." once again he spoke flirtatiously once again I had to keep with the act.
"I would love to take you up on that invitation. You know where to find me." I needed to obviously show him some interest in him Marcel was cute and hot but I will not mix with any vampires not matter how attractive they are.
"I sure will." he smiles and walks away from me I watches him go. She is convinced more than ever that she saw a picture that lady Star back at aunt Ruby house. What was the connection with Ruby and what appears to be a vampire as that woman Star hadn't aged a day, well the only way I'll find out if I go and check it out.
Star P.O.V
I finally made my choice of which man I wanted to be with I never knew who I loved more until a short while ago. The man who I loved more than anything was always Niklaus Mikaelson, I mean I did marry him that must have mean something, and with the fact that I chose not to marry again too. I know that Stefan was going to propose to me in 1864 but Katherine came and ruined all of that maybe that was a sign that Stefan and I were never meant to be. I may have not been in love with him like I thought I was, but he would always hold a special place in my heart. The one thing that did disturbed me slightly is the fact that my father Silas and Stefan look identical, that Stefan was his doppelgänger that would have been wrong on many levels too. But that were my reason for choosing to spend my eternity with Niklaus I was well and truly hopelessly in love with him, he made my knees go weak even at his present.
I knew I was making a big decision moving to New Orleans but I had nothing in Mystic Falls anymore I kind of screwed thing up there since I turned into a vampire. Elena weren't willing to forgive me for my actions, and I saw that spark Stefan and Elena had still. Then there was Damon who was going to leave town I think he knew in his heart too that Elena and Stefan belonged together. I could see he was hurting about even though Damon put up this barrier of I don't give a dam. So I suggested about him coming to New Orleans with him with me, I think I'll be able to deal with all the transition that were coming the biggest one being Niklaus becoming a father. Damon didn't even hesitate he was up for the both of us causing a stir, which in Damon terms means I'll be his drinking buddy and have fun. I think he forgot that in New Orleans we will be associated with the original family but I weren't going to burst Damon bubble. When Damon and I arrived at the house where we were going to stay I was a little surprised it weren't what I was expecting. Damon was moaning at the fact he didn't want to live under the same roof as the original that have back stabbed him, which I could understand but things were different now everything was different. Rebekah wasn't here yet as she was travelling in Europe, and Elijah I hadn't seen since the last time I was here, Nik told me that Elijah had business to attend to and would join us eventually. So this house consisted Nik, myself, Damon and oh yeah not forgetting the knocked up werewolf. Trying to explain all that to Damon was hard he couldn't get his mind around it all, and to be honest neither could I, I didn't know what to feel about this whole new baby coming.
Nik didn't really speak about it, actually Nik was hardly home he was always out probably thinking of ways to bring Marcel down. Damon on the other hand had a lot to say about it, all he thought I was too good for Nik that he and I should ditch New Orleans and start a new adventure. Damon made it all sound so easy so simple but it wasn't, I love Nik and I will stand by him through this and in time I will try to come to terms with. The fact that his going to have a son or daughter. With me telling Damon that it finally registered in his head that I weren't going to walk away, but with that I knew that Damon weren't going to walk away from me he will stick by mw through all this like a great friend should.
The days always started off the same with Damon teasing Nik to be honest it funny at first I mean I had to hold my laughter in, but after the new I found out about my friend Ruby passing I didn't find anything like that amusing anymore. Ruby and I knew each other for years we first met in Italy when she was on an exchange in the late 90's, she was a witch and from the moment she met me she knew what I was unum praeditos. We kept in contact after she left she actually fell in love with a dear friend of mine in San Salvatore Sergio, she returned after she graduated and moved in with him in his family home. I hadn't seen two people more in love and I couldn't be happier for them both, they married in the summer of 1996. Shortly after Ruby was pregnant she gave birth to the most beautiful baby girl I had ever seen with these amazing blue eye that made you love her more. They named her Davina which mean cherish and she was truly something to be cherished. I was given the honour by Sergio and Ruby to be Davina Godmother, I recalled crying for joy as I never thought of myself being anyone godmother. I knew from even then I couldn't have children and that Ruby thought that I would be the right person to guild Davina when she needed it.
For three years they lived in San Salvatore and Davina was the most adorable little thing I've ever had to pleasure to be around, but everything changed on November 7th 2000 when Sergio was in a fatal accident he was in critical care for over a month. When the doctors turned around and said nothing could be done Ruby tried whatever spells she could to save him, but it was too late. She couldn't deal with the fact that he was gone, Ruby didn't want to spend another day in San Salvatore and her and Davina left and came back to the States back home to New Orleans. I wanted to come and visit them so many times but one thing that kept me from going to see them and that was Marcellus Gerard. That was another story on its own all I can say is there is something that needed to be kept in the past and Marcel was one of them. So hearing about Ruby death really hit me hard I know we hadn't seen each other for 13 years, but we did keep in contact on the phone and emails but since I went to Mystic Falls we totally lost contact. I need know what actually happen to her, because when I asked around people didn't want to talk about it, when I mean people I mean witches they didn't trust me because I was a vampire and also I was Nik wife.
This pissed me off more than anything when I wanted to know what happened with Davina I had the same cold response, I need find out what happen as these witches were hiding something about Ruby death, and I knew just the person to help me and that was Damon. I texted him to meet me at the city park I needed to find out what actually happened to her and to Davina. I made my way to the park and I couldn't get Ruby or Davina out of my mind, I wouldn't even know what Davina would look like right now. The last photo I had of her she was ten at the time she looked so grown up but those baby blue eyes were still adorable.
"So you want to tell me what up with you? You interrupted me talking to hot girl." I heard Damon say from behind me, typical Damon flirting with the first girl in town.
"Good to know I'm still your favourite girl." I smiled at him while he shook his head and sat next to me.
"Look if this is to do with that dick hybrid, I had a few words with him." Damon was always going to be over protective with me when it came to Nik but this wasn't about him.
"No Damon, it's not about Nik." I turned to him and he was frowning "Damon I need help with finding out what happen to my friend Ruby Claire, and her daughter Davina." I was hoping with Damon charm and unique way of interrogating he will find out the truth to Ruby death and where Davina is.
"Ruby? Her daughter?" He spoke with confused of course Damon didn't know who they were I didn't talk too much about my past to them.
"Damon they are very important to me, and I will explain everything to you, but could you do what you do best and get information as I'm not having any luck." I pleaded to him Damon sighed and shook his head.
"So this is what you've been upset about? Not the fact that your hybrid husband got the wolf knocked up." Damon spoke with sarcasm I could understand why the thought that, I grabbed hold of his hand.
"Damon you want me to be honest with you?" He nodded his head. "With Hayley carrying Nik child I'm finding it difficult, but when I chose to come here I knew that she was going to part of this. I love him Damon, and I really can't see myself being with anyone else." Damon looked at me for a long moment I think he wanted to know that I was actually ok, he got up and gave me a small smile.
"Well I better go and find out what happen to your friend." He gave me a kiss on the cheek "You know you're lucky that you've got such a great friend." I couldn't help but chuckle but he was right about being a great friend. "I'll let you know what I find out." With that he walked away I heard my phone beep I got it out of my pocket and saw it was a new message from Nik.
Nik: Sweetheart will you meet me at Jackson Square there something we need to talk about
After reading that my heart accelerated slightly I didn't know why maybe it was because of my behaviour earlier my little outburst. Maybe Nik saw the light and thought that I weren't the woman for him, he didn't need drama from me having my tantrum. I began to make my way to Jackson square maybe I shouldn't have made my sole focus on Ruby and Davina. I mean Nik and I have only begun to get back on track what if I've ruined it all with my stupid actions? I began to approach the St Louis cathedral I saw Nik standing outside, he looked like he had the weight of the world on his shoulder. The closer I got to him the more I felt nervous, but whatever Nik had to tell me I had to accept. Whatever it was he wouldn't contact me and say 'we need to talk' if it wasn't something serious.
"Niklaus." My voice broke as I said his name he looked up and smiled at me, that had to be a good sign I know if Nik was mad at me he wouldn't have smiled would he?
"Star…" He approached me and kissed me on the lips I felt that same electrical spark that I always got with Nik, he got hold of my hand. "I want to show you something." I nodded my head and followed his lead we began to walk around the square and nothing was said between us, the awkward silence was killing me.
"Ermm... I want to apologies for my behaviour from earlier." Nik came to a halt and looked at me with a little confusion. "I know you were trying to talk to me, and I behaved like a total bitch and—" I got cut off by a kiss from him, he snaked his arms around my waist drawing me closer to him, I wrapped my arms around his neck. Being in in Nik arms like this felt natural and I didn't know why I was worrying so much, he pulled away and rested his forehead to mine. I couldn't help but smile "Well that was a little unexpected." I spoke in a teasing tone Nik chuckled.
"Star Mikaelson." He moved my hair from my face. "Life has given us a second chance at happiness, I brought you here today to give you my love, to give you my heart and my hope for our future together. I promise to bring you joy, to be at home with your spirit, and to learn to love you more each day, through all the days of our lives. My love for you is endless and eternal." Each word that Nik spoke touch my heart, he didn't come here today to tell me this wasn't working, Nik brought me here to tell me that he loved me and that I'm the only one who he wanted to be with.
"Nik you are and will be the only man who I want to spend my eternity with. Always and forever until the end of time." I was about to kiss my husband when I heard my phone beep I was going to ignore it then I thought it might be Damon with some news, I pulled away from Nik. "I'm sorry." I told him apologetically.
"You must be waiting for something pretty important if it's interrupting time with your husband." Nik spoke with amusement in his voice, I looked at my phone and I had a message from Damon.
Damon: I got the address of Ruby Claire for you its 2341 St Ann Street maybe if you check it out you might find something out. Don't say I don't do anything for you. You owe me big time btw.
"Nik there something I need to do." I looked up at him and he was nodding his head I didn't want to ruin the moment but I needed to find out what had happen to Ruby and Davina "I'll make it up to you later." I spoke to him flirtatiously and a grin appeared on his face.
"I will hold you to that." I gave him a passionate kiss. "I'll see you at home and I hope whatever been bothering you resolved." Before I could say anything Nik was gone, did he know about me looking for Ruby and Davina? Right now I couldn't think of that I needed to get to Ruby home and hope to find something there that might indicate what had happen.
I began to make my way to St Ann Street it wasn't too far from Jackson Square when I had the opportunity I would use my speed, but I didn't want to get caught by anyone. The Streets of New Orleans at night were always filled with people walking around, I finally reached the address that Damon sent to me I approached the front door and looked around I saw there was no about. I broke the door handle and entered the house, as I walked into the entrance and I notice that all the furniture was covered with white sheets. I walked into the living room and looked around something caught my eye in the mantel piece, it was a picture of Ruby and Davina. They looked so happy and Davina had turned into a beautiful young lady she had a lot of Sergio features.
"What are you doing here?" I turned around and there stood a girl with long brown hair slightly tan skin and not looking very amused.
"I'm sorry the door was opened." I didn't have a clue who she was but she looked a little familiar to me where had I seen her before? She walked over and took the picture frame out of my hand and walked over to one side of the room she goes into a box and takes something out.
"Would you like to explain to me how you knew my aunt Ruby, and why the hell you haven't aged a day?" She asked while holding up a picture of the day when Davina was christen. How was I going to explain this to her?
