Chapter 1: An important alliance
Marcel
The night was calling in, the party was ending and Marcel stood there all-alone at the porch looking out, holding a very small bag in his hand. The moon shined bright at him while he thought about possibilities and if this was a smart idea, but it was what Diego had advised him to do.
Marcel looked at the 20 bodies, molested and with their head ripped off, that Diego was busy trying to burn up with some cheap bourbon. She was the reason; he knew that was for sure. She would always get her temper up for small things, like this thing. And that is what I love about her.
He wasn't alone very much longer, as a shadow turned up behind him.
Right on time.
Klaus
"I don`t get why you would call me up so early in the morning" Klaus grunted. Marcel had asked him to meet him up at the mansion, and he said it was urgent. Marcel stood with his back on him, looking down at the dead bodies on the ground, holding on to something, a little bag.
"I'm sorry, but I had to give you this, before it would end in the wrong hands."
If only he`d know.
It had obviously been a hard night for Marcel; even his back had proof of it, seeing the way he had crooked himself over the balcony. 10 of his nightwalkers and 10 humans had been found dead in the streets over the last day, and it was definitely not Klaus or his siblings.
"I need you to take care of this for me, just for a couple of days." Marcel said as he turned around and threw the little bag to him, and showing blood on his left cheek, from a scar that wouldn't heal.
"What is it?" Klaus asked, but he didn't pay attention to the bag in his hands, just the scar on Marcel's face.
"Nothing you need to worry about, just something that can get me an alliance with a powerful vampire"
"Who is this powerful vampire, may I ask?" This vampire couldn't be any more powerful than him, which would be a tragedy. And if Marcel got the alliance, he would have another sleeve up in his arm, that couldn't happen.
"Well, let's just say she's the one who gave me this." Marcel said while pointing to his scar, which still didn't show any sign of healing.
"Was that all then? You just want me to keep something that might set me in danger? I must say you have outsmarted me Marcel" he said in a cheerful tone, trying the cover the truth that laid underneath the question. Of course Marcel realized the jokingly tone and laughed it off.
"Yeah right. But you can go now, unless you want to enjoy the sight " he said while showing off the fire that Diego had made of the molested bodies.
"No thank you, I think I have seen enough of that" Klaus said and was about to go down the stairs when he heard Marcel again.
"Please, don't tell anybody about this, it would be a tragedy if you would lose the item to your enemy, just saying!" And then he was gone in a second.
Is he really that stupid, or has he outsmarted me?
While he was in his car, Klaus opened the little bag and saw the important item that would bring Marcel this alliance.
It was a ring.
It was a small and old thing; it was covered in dirty gold and had a little M on the display. It looked like a wedding ring. He saw the imprint as well "Yours forever" which one could barely see.
Yeah, it was definetly a wedding ring.
He tried to remember where he had seen it before. An extraordinary ring like this would not go unseen, especially if it was so important to Marcel.
Klaus tried to remember the M and what it stood for.
Mikaelson
But that didn't make any sense; there couldn't be any of the Mikaelsons siblings who had been stupid enough to ever get married. Well, except from Rebekah, and one other.
Now he remembered.
Her.
It couldn't be
She is dead.
She died in my arms.
And now he had her ring.
