Chapter 56
After a few moments that felt like a lifetime to Klaus and Caroline, the door finally opened and they looked to see a smiling Cami. Cami smiled at Marcel and said "hey, Marcel". She took a step outside of the door and then kissed him but it was brief. She then looked at Klaus and Caroline and then glanced back to Marcel with a confused expression.
Marcel said "this is Niklaus and Caroline".
Cami gasped and said "this...this is your..."
They all smirked and Caroline said "parents?"
"Yeah" Cami then laughed slightly and said "it's a pleasure to meet you. Marcel told me all about you".
"Did he really?" Klaus said and looked at Marcel.
Marcel knew that he wasn't supposed to tell anyone about Caroline and he coughed nervously and said "I trust her".
Klaus raised his eyebrows but then Caroline placed a hand over his chest and said "Nik, leave it alone. I can see that he trusts her and she's been good to Davina".
"Davina" Cami said "what does she have to do with this?"
They all glanced at each other but before anyone could say anything, someone shouted "Cami, is someone at the door?"
Caroline gasped slightly at hearing her daughter's voice and Klaus could only stare upstairs. Marcel smirked at his parent's reaction and Cami shouted back up "it's Marcel and" the three of them shushed her.
In the next second, they all saw a young sixteen year old girl, with brunette hair and blue green eyes, run down the stairs. Marcel smiled as she got closer and then she quickly wrapped her arms around his neck and his went around her waist. Marcel smiled at his parents over her shoulder and they smiled back. They then both focused on Davina's face as she pulled away from Marcel and Caroline had tears coming to her eyes.
When Davina pulled away she said "what are you doing outside? Come in". Davina then pulled Marcel inside but he looked at Cami and she nodded knowing his request. As Davina dragged him to the living room, Cami invited Klaus and Caroline in quietly so that Davina couldn't hear. Cami was confused that Davina couldn't see them but they just said that they would explain later.
In the living room, Davina sat in her usual place on a couch chair, while Marcel took his place on the four seated couch. Cami soon joined him and sat to his left nearest to the chair arm and Caroline sat on his right and Klaus next to her. Davina was smiling and said "so, anything happened in the quarter today?"
Marcel knew that he couldn't mention the originals, at least not just yet "nothing much. Same old same old".
Davina rolled her eyes and said "king business, drinking at the bar with karaoke, more king business and then coming back here depending on your business" Marcel nodded with a little laugh "predictable".
Cami laughed and said "she's right; you do need to change your routine. It's the same everyday".
Marcel said "well maybe I should just stop coming, since I'm always being ganged up on. That'll change my routine".
"You wouldn't dare" Cami said teasingly.
"And whys that?"
Cami looked at Davina and Davina said "because if you stop visiting, then I'll start to go out".
Cami smirked as she knew that would get to Marcel and he shook his head "what did we talk about, Dee?"
"Not to leave the house without you in case of the witches".
"That's right".
"Exactly, which is why you wont stop coming" she smirked.
Klaus and Caroline were watching as they all interacted with Davina and couldn't keep their eyes off of her. After she out smarted Marcel, Klaus said "she's just like you".
Caroline looked at him and said "how? You're the one who finds loopholes in everything".
"Yes but over the years you picked up that trait off me and women in this family try to outsmart the men so it is your fault" Klaus smirked and Caroline put an offended face on.
Cami and Marcel smirked and Marcel said so quietly that they could barely hear "he's got you there".
Caroline slapped his arm playfully and said "I'm your mother, your suppose to be on my side".
Klaus said "sorry, my love, but like father like son".
Marcel smirked as did Cami but that's when Davina said "he's got who where? And who's he?" they all stared at Davina as Marcel said that so quietly that it was impossible for even Cami to hear, who was sat next to him.
Marcel glanced at Klaus and Caroline and then back to Davina and said "Dee, how did you hear that?" Davina gulped nervously and she tightened her lip as if she was mentally punishing herself for doing something wrong. The three of them knew that it was because she had revealed that one of her senses, hearing, is stronger than an average witch. Cami was looking at all of them nervously as she didn't know what was going on "I need to ask you something. What happened to your parents?"
Davina said "I already told you. I'm originally from Virginia; my parents abandoned me when I was young, due to my magic being out of control. I don't even remember their faces" Davina tried to look sad but Caroline noticed that it was just an act but she could see some sadness in her eyes. "I was put into foster care and was in it, till I was fourteen and I ran away. I then met James and not long before I came here, we ran into a witch that said she could help me with my magic but she lied and brought me here to be a sacrifice. You know all of this, why ask again?"
Marcel sighed and ran a hand over his head and said "I know the truth, Dee".
Davina smiled and said "what are you talking about? That is the truth".
"Marcel, what's happening?" Cami asked
Marcel looked at her and said "I'll explain everything later but for now" he then looked back to Davina "I want to know the truth".
"It is the truth" Davina stressed "I don't know what you're talking about".
"Esther" Davina flinched slightly then her body became stiff.
Klaus and Caroline felt awful that Esther had this effect on their daughter and Caroline stood up and walked towards her. She kneeled down at the side of the chair and tried to put her hand on Davina's but the barrier was in the way and Klaus and Marcel sent her sympathetic looks. "How do you know about her?" Davina said and she stood up and Caroline followed her.
Marcel and Klaus stood up and Cami stayed sat down, watching the scene in front of her. Klaus said "tell her".
Marcel then said "I was told about her and who and what you really are".
Davina had tears coming to her eyes as she said "how? How did you find out...she's here isn't she, she's come back for me".
Davina moved out of the living room and headed for the stairs and the others followed her. As soon as she got to the bottom, the front door opened and someone whooshed in front of her. James now stood in front of her and said "Davina, are you alright?"
Davina quickly said "she's here, James. She told Marcel about me".
James turned around to look at Marcel but stood protectively in front of her when he saw Klaus and Caroline. Davina looked at James confused and that's when James said "Davina, get out of here now".
"What?" she asked confused.
He glanced at her and said "do you not see them?"
"See who?"
"It's the originals".
"What?" Davina looked back at Marcel and couldn't see anyone apart from him and Cami "there's no one there".
"You can't see them. It must be a spell a trick".
Marcel took a step forward and said "I can explain".
"Marcel, tell me the truth. Is there someone there?" Davina said. Marcel hesitated and glanced at Klaus and Caroline and that was all Davina needed to know the truth. Davina ran upstairs at a speed none of them knew she had and James followed her. Cami was shocked and gasped and the others followed Davina and James.
When they got upstairs, they saw Davina close her bedroom door and James was stood outside of it with a stake. Marcel moved forward but Klaus put a hand over to stop him. Marcel looked at Klaus but Klaus only stared at James and said demandingly "move".
James' hand tightened on the stake and he said "never".
Caroline said "you don't understand. Just move so we can explain or we'll make you".
"Never. You're not going to lay a finger on her".
Klaus gestured to the stake and said "that won't kill us".
"I know. But it will give Davina time to escape" James said then he lunged forward and tried to attack Klaus.
