"This is us, the Original Family and we remain together always and forever."
Elijah Mikaelson TVD Episode 4.20 "The Originals"
This Is Us, The Original Family
Chapter Nineteen: Silent Ambush
Agnes; Witches Graveyard; New Orleans, Louisiana; June 15, 2011; 10:00PM
Tonight was the night. Tonight they would rid the world of the Devil Child and complete the Harvest Ritual.
It had taken some time to get Marcel to agree to assist them, but luckily his need for vendetta against the Mikaelsons was greater than the need to protect Davina.
Agnes looked down on the child that held too much power, simply because she was too selfish to die when she was supposed to in order to help her coven. Agnes, Aja and the others of their faction linked with each other so they could harness all the power Davina held in order to fight the Mikaelsons.
Davina passed out as her body drained of power. Agnes felt the power of her ancestors again for the first time in months. Agnes looked to the others.
"We must ensure our survival. First we ensure the abomination never is born. Then we return here at the witching hour and complete the Harvest to regain our full power." Sounds of agreement came from her followers.
So they left the little traitor bound and gagged in the corner until they were ready to sacrifice her, and made their way to the spot they were meeting the vampires.
Their ancestors would understand them making a shaky alliance with vampires in order to rid the world of the Devil Child and all Originals. They were doing this for the good of Nature.
Marcel Gerard; Mikaelson Mansion; New Orleans, Louisiana; June 15, 2011; 11:00PM
Yes, he felt bad that he handed little D over to the ones that wanted her death, but what is one insignificant child's life when her death meant that he could kill Klaus and his family?
He watched as Agnes, Aja and the other witches worked their magic on the barrier, and the house came into view.
Aja turned to Marcel. "They have alarm spells and a barrier on the house itself. Once those are down you and you vamps will have a minute before the witch who did this realizes what has happened. Have your people prepared, this is a strong barrier, it should be done within the next five minutes."
Five minutes until victory. He turned to his crew and gave them each rooms to search when the barrier dropped. He didn't want to give anyone the chance to escape.
Sophie Deveraux; Witches Graveyard; New Orleans, Louisiana; June 15, 2011; 11:00PM
Sophie and those of her coven who weren't extremist had spent the days since her trip to Mikaelson Mansion trying to learn what Agnes and the extremists were up too. When she broke the news of what they Harvest actually was and how powerful the Mikaelson's were they all were horrified.
They needed to find Davina and protect her; they needed to stop the extremists.
She had been at Jane-Ann's gravesite when she heard the cries from the caves. She followed the cries and found the young girl, bound and gagged in the corner.
"Davina!" she said running over to the girl and untying her.
"Please don't hurt me. I don't want to die. Please Sophie."
"Shh, Davina. I don't want to hurt you. I want to protect you. There are a bunch of us that want to keep you away from the extremists; many of us believe the Harvest was wrong."
The girl quieted. "They took my powers, all of them. They said they were going to kill a Devil Child and them come to kill me. Marcel just handed me over Sophie! He promised to keep me safe and handed me over when they promise that they can kill Originals."
Sophie's blood ran cold. Marcel had banded with the extremists and they were attacking the Mikaelson's tonight. She had to warn them.
TO: Aaron
Agnes teamed up with Marcel. Took all Davina's powers. Attack tonight. Be careful they have all the magic of my coven and our ancestors. Good luck.
She just hoped her warning wasn't to late.
Caroline Forbes; Mikaeslon Mansion; New Orleans, Louisiana; June 15, 2011; 11:05 PM
The good news was that Aaron had been able to forward Sophie's warning to them all. The bad news was that the house had been breached.
Caroline could hear the Mikaelson siblings fighting as best they could, but also could hear Hayley, Sage, Kat and Bonnie fighting and being overwhelmed. They had been captured. She flinched hearing the cries of her friends but kept going. She had to protect the baby.
She and Nadia had sought refuge in Erik's nursery. Trying to keep the baby quiet as they escaped through the tunnels.
When they emerged from the tunnels, Caroline could no longer hear fighting, just chanting of unfamiliar witches. They had lost. How had they lost?
She turned to her sister who had tears in her eyes. And handed her the baby. "Take him and run to safety."
"Cara no! Mama said we had to run no matter what happened. They cannot die and they cannot lose. We must protect Erik until they come for us."
"But they can be harmed! And Hayley's baby isn't immortal until it is born! I need to go back. Just me. You are older Nadi, you can protect him better than I can."
Nadia had tears in her eyes. "If you fight, I wish to fight at your side sister." She looked down at the child in her arms.
Then they heard Marcel call out "There are two women and a child missing! Check the tunnels."
Nadia's eye grew wide. Caroline looked at Erik. "Stay strong Erik. And if anyone tries to take you from Auntie Nadia and they are not family what do you do?"
At this Erik showed his fangs. "Good boy." She told him kissing his forehead. "Please Nadi, run."
Nadia, hearing the approaching vampires nodded, she kissed Caroline on the cheek. "Make me proud sister." And with that she sped off.
Caroline steeled herself for the confrontation. She had a family to save.
AN: so I'll just leave this here…enjoy.
Love Lou!
