~~So I see the reviews and I want to say that everything will be explained I believe in the next 3 or 4 chapters. Don't worry, Marcel and Violet are still a new couple. I did it to even out some sides for a future scene that will happen in one of those chapters. Sorry for the confusion~~ Reanna.
The last two days had been filled with mystery, madness but fortunately for them not murder. Hope had saved the two of them from Davina much to everyone's surprise. Klaus and Violet hadn't even arrived in time to see it happen. She had taken him to the church where they all were but she had gone back to the penthouse. She couldn't take in what she did and she wouldn't let anyone know what happened.
A new day meant a new situation as Klaus had recovered the bone in the field. Sofya was nowhere to be found once again and had been causing someone torture. Violet continued as if nothing happened and Marcel was still teaming up with his least favorite Original.
The two had been on another mission to look for the other bone. Marcel didn't want to get stuck with Elijah again but there wasn't a way to escape. He had been driving in his fancy sports car as the Original liked to call it as fast as he could. It was too dangerous but Marcel didn't care. He wanted to get it over and done with considering he had plans with Violet later. She had been begging him to go out somewhere for an official date as she called it. If he didn't do it this time, he knew he would never hear the end of it.
"So this expert guy of yours is supposed to meet us there right?" Marcel asked taking his eyes off the road for a moment to look at Elijah.
"In approximately twenty minutes I hope. Niklaus has one, you and I will find this one and Alaric has the third from Tyler Lockwood. Luckily for us Mystic Falls and New Orleans are not that far apart. Have you ever been there before Marcellus?"
He shook his head and looked back towards the road. "You know as well as I that I don't leave the city. I have no desire to visit Mystic Falls" Elijah had nodded faintly and Marcel didn't understand why he asked. Everyone pretty much knew that he hardly left New Orleans. "Why'd you ask?"
"Stefan Salvatore, I thought you possibly knew him through Violet. They were close or so I have heard so I assumed…"
He cut him off. "You assumed that it would cause a riff in our relationship, right? You know I get that Vi and your brother are over but if you want to play some sort of childish game you can count me out"
Elijah had turned his head and looked him over. "I enjoy this new found confidence in you. That wasn't what I was going to say but I'm glad to know that the two of you have been wrapped in each other's arms while doing God knows what"
It made Marcel smirk a little. "Jealous Elijah?" He still had his eyes locked on Marcel but now they turned into slits. He didn't find in humorous nor was it the truth. "I mean it's better than Rebekah right?"
"I'd rather it be either" Elijah commented while grabbing his phone that began ringing in his pocket.
"Whatever you say…As much as you love to say you hate Violet, deep down you know that you care about her"
He shook his head heavily, didn't say another word and instead answered the phone.
Violet had been driving down a back road that seemed like it went on for eternity. Both Elijah and Marcel had called her asking for a favor and she regretted answering the phone. She had been in one of New Orleans famous clubs feeding off of different people when her phone rang. She answered without thinking and completely regretted it. Now she was on a back road in an expensive car looking for someone she had never met. Sofya apparently had gotten the guy into car trouble and she had to play taxi cab with all her luck. Violet slowed the car down when she noticed the wreckage in front of her.
She parked the car when she noticed a tall handsome guy on the side of the road toying with his phone. When she stopped he eyed the purple car suspiciously and slowly stood up. Violet had been fixing her hair in the rearview mirror before rolling down the window. "I'm your princess in shining armor. Get in before Sofya comes back" She said glancing at him through her sunglasses.
He hesitated but did what she said. When he got in the car she eyed him up wondering if he was going to get her seat dirty. He had been covered in God knows what and she dreaded it. "Alaric Saltzman I'm assuming" She started the car again and peeled away from the crash.
"Yeah, who are you? I thought Elijah would have been sending his brother or something" Alaric spoke glancing behind him to the back seat.
"The name is Violet and ignore the dead body in the back. You're lucky I'm the one picking you up and not Klaus. He's been in a mood lately, probably because I kissed him" She said it innocently without any meaning at all.
Alaric turned fully and noticed a dead brunette girl in the back, he now wondered if it was such a good idea to get into her car. He shifted uncomfortably himself and then remembered her name for some reason. "Violet as in Stefan's mysterious friend?"
She sharply turned her head but then refocused on the road. "You knew Stefan Salvatore?"
He nodded. "Yeah, he was a good friend of mine. I saw your name on one of the invitations" She had given him a look over again and Alaric seemed puzzled for a moment. "Caroline and Stefan's wedding. I believe she was the one the told you the news about…"
Violet held up her hand to stop him from talking. "I didn't realize you were even from Mystic Falls let alone know his wife or whatever. I've never met the girl or anything. Let's just get to where we have to go and make different small talk if we really have to"
Alaric and Violet had walked into the old crypt with her trailing behind him. Marcel and Elijah had already broke it one of the vaults and successfully got the bone. Even though it was successful the two had been arguing on who was going to keep the bone. She rolled her eyes and zipped forward snatching it out of Elijah's hand.
"Your BFF with the finger bone is here so quit arguing like children. Are you ready to go?" She spoke moving to Marcel's side. Elijah had glared for a moment then turned to her.
"I'll ask nicely, hand over the bone"
"Elijah it makes more sense for everyone to have a separate piece. You guys can have two and we can have one" He momentarily looked towards Alaric. "Am I right?"
Alaric was standing watching feeling bored. "This isn't about me. I only came here to hand Elijah something that he wanted so here you go"
The Original had completely ignored him and instead pulled out a dagger from his suit. He reached for Marcel and slammed him into one of the crypt's walls. "Give me the bone or I kill him"
Violet's veins had crept out from under her eyes as she watched them. She went to go after him but he brought his other hand out to her. "Give me the bone Violet"
She paused for a second then dropped it to the floor. It clattered and Elijah zipped back to pick it up. He slipped the dagger back and smiled at them, he knew he won. "I told you, poster boy for violence" Marcel said to Violet fixing his jacket not even looking in his direction.
Her eyes had reverted back to their normal green as she calmed herself down. Violet slipped her hand and intertwined it with Marcel's. Alaric had raised an eyebrow and looked the other way; he really didn't know what he was getting into.
"I'm glad this was settled without an incident occurring" He had looked in Violet's direction and she looked at him with disgust. She moved over to Marcel, wrapped her arm around his and pulled him along gently.
"We don't want the stupid bone anyway. When the Hollow wants it, she'll go directly to you and your family, and your niece. Have fun guarding it for all I care" She spoke and didn't make a comment on the dagger. She knew that it was something to kill Marcel but it was only a matter of time that she'd go steal it. "We have a date to go on so run back to your family and then maybe I'll stop over to take something that belongs to us"
Marcel hadn't commented though he had a few words to say to both of them. They walked out past Alaric and she just gave him a look which he took as a goodbye. Once they disappeared he looked over at Elijah who was wanting for the finger bone. "Some couple"
Violet had checked herself over one last time in the mirror before getting up. She really hadn't put an outfit together but made one up as quickly as she could. She wanted to distract Marcel away from the whole Elijah situation. She played with her bangs one last time before stepping out of the bedroom and into the living space in the penthouse. Marcel had been sitting on the couch before looking at her doing a double take. "Where are you going looking like that?"
Violet looked down at herself, she had on a simple white crop top t-shirt and black shorts. "Uh we have a date to go on…" She stopped talking when she realized the look on her face. She pushed her shoulders dramatically. "Oh come on this isn't fair. We haven't gotten one day to spend together and I was looking forward to this"
"Vincent called and he said it's important, it even has something to do with Davina. I gotta go do this Vi" He had felt bad because he knew that Violet wanted to have a carefree night. After all she had been talking about it the whole time in the car. It was something he had to do, especially if it had something to do. Marcel had glanced at the time before getting up. "Look, I see if I can make this short and we can go out in like an hour"
"It's going to be too late by then, what are we going do to?"
"Are you forgetting we have the city in the palms of our hands? We can go out after this is all settled"
Violet sighed and glanced towards the window. "So I really got ready for nothing, great. Whatever, I'm putting different clothes on and drinking my loneliness away with a bottle of vodka. Next time tell Vincent to call much more earlier so I know better than to doll myself up for nothing"
She had slid a hair tie off of her wrist and gathered her blonde locks in her hands. She wanted to just change out of what she had on but Marcel moved over to stop her. "I promise we can do something after I'm done. You name it and it will happen"
Her mouth turned into a smirk and she reached for his collar in his shirt. "Fine but you are mine tonight"
Marcel shook his head with a smile knowing what she was referring to. He had bent down a little to kiss her which caught her by surprise. After a moment the two of them broke it up. "What was that for?" Violet asked.
"It just seemed like the right moment. An hour tops I swear" He said before parting with her.
Violet needed something to do pass the time and that meant doing nothing. She lay out on the couch with her phone in her hand. She had been playing some puzzle game but tossed the phone aside when she finally lost. She then turned to journal but couldn't figure out what to write. Violet wanted to brag about her relationship with the King of New Orleans as everything seemed to be falling in place for her.
It seemed that she had herself under control for the time being and her love life was blooming. There were still issues on her mind such as the problem of her kissing Klaus. She had yet to tell Marcel anything and wanted to keep it that away for a while. What he didn't know wasn't going to hurt him was her understanding.
As time passed she found herself writing away until there was a knock on the door. Violet had locked it feeling somewhat paranoid about Sofya. She hadn't showed up to anyone and that made her most nervous about the whole situation. She forgot her phone was somewhere on the floor so she got up to open it. Violet knew it was Marcel because it seemed that so much time had already passed. When she opened the door, she came face to face with someone she least expected to see. Violet's face had twisted with emotion and backed away from the guest at the door.
Elijah had made his way to the penthouse after talking with Klaus. Since he had taken the bone, he believed it was best to give the weapon that can kill Marcel over to him. The older brother didn't want to but maybe it seemed like they need to make a bridge between both parties. If the Hollow needed to be defeated and Hope to be safe, Marcel and Violet were going to make good allies. On the plus side Hope had liked them both and was asking to see them again.
He had been in the elevator of the building tucking it further into his suit jacket. He wanted to see the look on their faces when he showed up with something that they really wanted. At the same time he hoped that they weren't there so he could tell Klaus he missed them. Elijah remembered them both saying something about a date and it was already nine at night, they could still be out for all he knew.
Elijah stepped out of the elevator casually, turned to his right and made his way towards the door. He knocked a few times lightly before calling out. "Marcel and Violet, I'm here bearing a gift. I do hope this will fix whatever issues we have"
He waited a moment and glanced around. It was very quiet and the hallway was unusually darker than before. His eyes trailed down to the bottom of the door and he saw light peeking through the crack. Elijah spoke again. "I'm stepping in so you two better be descent to say the least"
He grabbed the door knob and twisted but found it unlocked. Elijah pushed the door open carefully and moved a few steps forward. Looking around the penthouse, he didn't notice anything out of the ordinary until he saw the body lying near the couch.
Elijah rushed over to Violet's limp body. Her eyes were open and staring at the ceiling. She had a few tears in the pit of her eyes. Her mouth had been somewhat open and fear had run across her face. He bent down once he reached her and grabbed the side of her face with one hand. "Violet…What's wrong? Violet…"
The words had seemed to just echo through the room and no one else was in the room. "Marcel!" He yelled out and looked in every direction. There was a pool of blood underneath her that started to seep onto his fingers. Elijah couldn't figure what had gone on and what had happened to her. The white shirt was caked in blood and he tried figuring it out.
Elijah slipped his hands under her body and tried picking her up. Before he had a good enough grip on her, a sharp pain had filled his back and he fell over to his side. Sofya had grinned and stood behind him and glanced at the stake.
"Two birds with one stone…" She held the stake wrapped in rose thorns full of blood. "Good enough for me" se, he didn'
