Chapter 4
I'm Waking Up, to Ash and Dust
Marcel jerks awake grabbing his neck.
Marcel realizes he is on a couch in the upstairs part of the compound.
He turns his head and sees Klaus sitting on the opposite couch with a glass of blood in his hand and there's one on the coffee table next to his feet.
"Ah Marcellus, you're finally awake. Here." Klaus says taking his feet off the coffee table and nudges the glass of blood closer to Marcel.
Marcel flings his feet on to the floor, grabs the glass, and takes a sip.
"Marcel, what happened to you?" Klaus asks.
"When didn't answer your phone after I believe the 32nd phone call, I got worried and came immediately to find you staked in the neck, dead."
"You called me 32 times then got worried?" Marcel asks confused and concerned for Klaus' priorities.
"What can I say? My priorities are excellent, I know. Besides, you should be lucky that I got worried at all." Klaus says slightly happy about his priorities.
"Now, what happened to you Marcel?" Klaus asks.
Marcel tells Klaus about Nik and everything Nik told him and everything that Marcel told Nik and how he died and that it's been hours since he was killed so Nik could be anywhere in New Orleans or in Louisiana itself.
"Alright, we're going to need a bigger team. Marcel, how do you feel about recruiting Elijah?" Klaus asks him and gets a smile on his face.
"So here's the plan, you recruit Elijah and Davina and I'll recruit Rebekah, Freya, and anyone else who wants to help." Klaus says to Marcel.
Then they split up and tell all the people they said they would and a few others, like Josh, Aiden, Gia, and sadly Hayley.
