Author: SeressFox

Summary: The witches are working on a spell that will kill Klaus for good, and is slowly stripping him of energy and youth. Rebecca and Elijah have only one person they can turn to, and even though Klaus always forbid it, they need her help to get rid of the witches and free their brother. Introducing Zariya AnanaRei LaBou

Zara Knight sighed as she entered her home. This was the longest night in awhile and she was almost certain, it was gonna only get worse. During the day, she was hounded at the library helping researchers and re-shelving books from 8 until 7 and then from 7 until less than 15 minutes before 4am, she bartended and dealt with the drunks. *Tips are always worth it,* she thought as she dragged herself down the hall, undressing as she went. All she wanted to do was grab a shot of her personal shine and pass out until her alarm woke her to redo the cycle. Zara made it to the kitchen and poured herself a drink, her eyes suddenly narrow. "Rebecca Mikaelson." She turned and faced the blond, who seemed to come out of nowhere. "Zara." Rebecca could not see what her brother saw in this girl. She was short, but bodacious yes. Nothing like the women Klaus was used to seeing before he met her. Zara had multiple scars on her arms, legs, even face. Her hair was curly thick but short in layers making her look like a reject from an animation cartoon. Becca smiled as Zara more or less glared at her, the usual light amethyst eyes were slowly shading to a violet. If it wasn't the little girl's eyes, then it was definitely her nonchalant fearless personality. Zara sipped her drink slowly, "Becca, you're in my house…in the middle of the Caribbean. Either you've finally gone senile or people must have stopped giving you the attention you so crave for." Before Rebecca could give her an answer, another voice answered. "Zara, glad to see you're still opinionated." Zara turned to see Elijah coming from the front hallway. "Elijah?" she turned back towards Rebecca. "What's happened?"

Zara's POV

I couldn't help but laugh after Elijah finished telling me the situation in New Orleans; especially where Klaus ended up. "What do you expect me to do about this?" I asked when I could finally breathe again. "Rescue him." came their simultaneous immediate response. Silence. And I erupted into laughter once again. Elijah was growing impatient, I could tell but it didn't matter to me. I reached for my cup but it was swiped by Rebecca. "I think you've had quite enough for the evening love." I sobered up immediately, "Oh come on. You can't be serious." The look Elijah gave me was more than enough for me to believe that he was. I stood and narrowed my eyes, hands on my hips. "Elijah! He thinks I'm dead! Its been over 500 years, if I, RANDOMLY show up don't think he'll know you guys helped me get away from him to begin with? Do you know how freakin' pissed he's gonna be?" Rebecca came back from the kitchen wiping her hands, "Well we'd rather him be pissed than dead." I glanced at her, and back at Elijah as his quiet words made up my mind. "He's suffering. Please. You're the only one who can help him now." I sighed and waved him away. "I'll be there sometime tomorrow." With a satisfied huff, Rebecca disappeared out the window; presumably flying back to New Orleans to dress up my room in ways I know will make me attempt to throttle her. Elijah however stepped towards me with a smile and open arms, which I gratefully jumped into. "We've all missed you Zariya." he whispered in my hair. I relaxed against my big brother and sighed. "I'm scared to see him Elijah." He didn't answer, and I didn't expect him to.
