~~Ignored the Klaus walked thing. This chapter is glitching like the others but oh well. And this isn't the last chapter either OH and thank you for the awesome review, I love them!~~

"I don't want to rest in peace; we can haunt each other's dreams.

We'll fight underneath this turf, bicker away in darkness"

The next day most of the vampires had gathered to the compound expecting Marcel or Violet to be present but they weren't. Most of them didn't know where they were and some had feared for the worst. He had turned them, giving them the life they always wanted and now he was nowhere to be found.

New Orleans had seemed to have a different look; well that was what Marcel took it as. He was near the same fate as Violet and more than likely was only a few hours away from it. He had asked Vincent to secure some sort of spell for them in order for no one to find them once they both were desiccated. Marcel chose the garden as the place to be buried and Vincent would place the spell to make them disappear. He was fearful that someone would try to permanently harm him or even kill her before he could figure out a spell to bring them back.

Violet had been lying in her coffin in the ruins of the house that was never built. Sofya, Josh and of course Marcel were staying down there. He saw it better than someone to move him from place to place when he was already dying as it was. Marcel had closed the lid on the coffin because he couldn't stand looking at her anymore.

Josh had stepped forward and placed a couple of flowers on top then glanced at him. They were there in silence but he took the opportunity to break that. "I wasn't sure what she would prefer, roses or violets so I brought both. I remember her telling me that she hated violets but she lied on that statement"

Marcel had looked up towards him as he was on the other side of the coffin. Josh had made a face that didn't have much of any emotion but he was only talking to break the silence. He also thought maybe he would want to talk about Violet instead of staring at the wood.

"Violet was really on the vampire that accepted me when I first met her. The other guys didn't really care but she took me in under her wing so to speak. Not saying that you didn't do a good job or anything but she kept me out of trouble. I was lucky enough to know her and I know that I will see you both sooner than later…New Orleans won't be the same without you"

Josh's eyes trailed down and a faint smile popped on his face. He remembered all their bayou trips that she hated as he found it interesting to be around her. She liked to talk about her past and history and Josh found it fascinating to hear all of the stories. He would miss both of them equally but deep inside he'd miss her a little more. Taking a step back, he stood next to Sofya who appropriately wore black for the occasion.

She had moved her eyes between them wondering if she should have brought her own flowers as well. She didn't really know Violet as the other two and hardly knew anything about her. A reason they had gotten along well was due to the fact that they would protect Marcel. They honestly were very similar but it was probably hard to see.

Josh looked towards her wondering if she was going to say something. Looking in his direction, she tried thinking of words but couldn't think of much to say. "Spotlights on me apparently…One thing I can say is that she knew what loyalty meant and I feel that is something we both understood well. I didn't know Violet as much as you both but there were a couple of things that I picked up on. I'm sorry for your loss and I hope you two will be reunited"

Sofya felt like a fool speaking on matters that she really didn't know about. She wasn't staying in New Orleans anymore and had packed her bags to leave. She was only staying to see Marcel once last time because he didn't have much left. By the way he looked it was only a matter of time for everything to end.

Marcel had cleared his throat and backed against the wall for support. Josh had watched then moved in his direction to help him even though he had been acting the same Violet was. They didn't want the help even though both of them needed it at the time.

The garden had become silent for a few moments until they heard footsteps approaching. The dark ruins had been lit up by candlelight so it wasn't as if they could clearly see the person that was walking their way. All assumed it was Vincent because he said he would be there after he did whatever the witch needed to do. A man had appeared out of the shadows which brought confusion to Josh's face but Marcel knew exactly who he was.

"I heard about Violet and I wanted to pay my respects if that is okay. The witch had told me where you were so here I am" Jake Thomas had said trying to focus his eyes on Marcel who was ducking in the darkness.

Once he stepped out, Jake's eyes had widened in shock before he quickly looked away. Marcel had shifted his eyes as well. "No, the more the merrier. I know she'd like this"

Josh looked towards Sofya still feeling left in the dark on who this person was. Jake had stepped closer to the coffin and placed a dozen red roses on top then looked towards Marcel silently asking if he could lift the lid. He had nodded towards him and he peeked inside at his former lover.

"Who is this guy?" Josh whispered leaning over to Marcel.

"One of Violet's ex's, I'm sure you've heard the story before"

The vampire had begun to think of one of her stories until it clicked in his head. "You're the werewolf that Violet was in love with?" Josh had blurted out which caused Jake to snap his head up to look at him.

There now was awkward silence that filled the air and Jake had to laugh. It was something out of the ordinary for him and he realized that they technically knew who he was, all of them. "Well that is something I don't hear often. Yes as a matter of fact I was the one that Marcel here tried to murder for being in love with a vampire. Just so you know I don't have any more hateful feelings towards you because that was years and years ago. I just wish things didn't have to end this way for her"

Josh now looked back over to Marcel wondering if he was going to say anything about it possibly not being a permanent death. He did however mention something but didn't want to give too much away. "Yeah hopefully it's more of a temporary kind of thing. In the meantime you all can have you're city back, it's not going to be any use to me for a while"

The werewolf had to put two and two together realizing that Marcel was also going to be dead. He didn't know how but wasn't going to question anything. Nodding, he closed the casket and offered a faint smile. "As long as you don't try to kill me again. Good luck Marcel" Jake stood there for a moment staring at the casket then slipped away from the garden.

Marcel had taken a deep breath and went back over towards the coffin sliding down the rock wall to the floor. He raised his hand to stop Josh from rushing to his aid but he just wanted to sit down. "You guys should go, listen to what everyone is saying on the streets. I'm sure they love this"

"You don't give yourself enough credit, on her part either" Sofya said looking down at him. "I'm going home for a while so hopefully I'll see you again at some point"

She had bent down to his level and had placed her hand on his shoulder. Marcel hadn't said anything so she took a deep breath. Things weren't looking very good on his part and he was getting close to death. She rarely showed any form of emotion and she really didn't want to watch him waste away. Sofya felt bad for leaving but it was time for her to get going.

Once the elder vampire left, Josh now began to wonder what to do next. He was going to stay there until it was over to make sure that Vincent had locked them away properly. He was actually going to brick them away while the witch cast a spell to seal them away and to block any type of location spell. Marcel was paranoid that someone would want to kill them permanently while they slept if they were ever to wake up again.

"So…What do you want me to do until Vincent figures out a way to bail you guys out?" Josh asked.

"You're not leaving New Orleans?"

He shook his head thinking that was strange. "Uh no I'm staying put at the bar. This city means everything to me I mean it didn't before but this place is my life now. You taught me everything I need to know around here and I'm not leaving just because you two are going to be gone. I'll take care of the vampires around her, the penthouse, all of it. Besides, Violet gave me orders to keep a close eye on the Ferrari because she said she'd kill me if I let anything happen to it"

Marcel had to laugh at that one and Josh did as well. It was nice to see them smile as each was dealing with the problem that was in front of them. "I've lost so much because of this city. My home, my friends and now my life again. I should have questioned why I stayed so long"

"You're just talking like that because you are dying. This city is your life, these people count on you and you will come back. It will only be a little longer than we all are thinking"

"You were almost right on that Joshua" Klaus Mikaelson had stepped inside of the hollow area looking in Josh's direction.

They both looked as well but neither of them seemed surprised that he showed up. Klaus walked further into the room. He had a tiny bouquet full of violets that he placed on the casket before glancing down towards Marcel.

"I hope you didn't think I wouldn't show up, not just because of her either"

"No considering you were there yesterday"

Klaus had laughed faintly and asked if Josh could give them a few minutes. He would never forgive himself if he didn't get a chance to say goodbye just like the fire all those years ago. The father and son duo may have a love/hate relationship but they knew to stick around for each other. The Mikaelson had lost everything just like they had; it seemed that the Hollow won after all.

He asked if he could take a spot next to him and Marcel had nodded. Groaning in pain, he moved a little out of the way and Klaus tried to block out the pain and regret he was feeling himself. "Word on the street is that you two decided to bail the ship and move on with your lives"

Marcel had seemed confused because that wasn't the impression he had gotten from Jake. "I thought everyone would be celebrating that we're dead"

"Oh a few people were but I think the compulsion fixed a few things" Klaus had smirked a little. "I thought I'd be doing you a favor for everyone to think you both are still alive so no one gets the wrong impression"

The younger vampire cleared his throat for a second. "You know this is worse than the bite you gave me once…Where are you going to go?"

"I've got to find Elijah considering you both didn't tell me about this compulsion idea" Klaus had fully turned to Marcel with raised eyebrows. He was curious to find out why they had decided to do it.

"Please tell me you didn't come here to scold me like a child" Glancing towards Klaus, he waited for him to say something but he didn't. "Elijah wanted the pain to be gone and wanted to be free of your family. I didn't agree to it at first but if it meant setting him free then I was going to say yes"

Klaus wasn't going to yell or even be angry at him for what they decided to do. Elijah had tried protecting him his entire life and he along with everyone else lost everything. He deserved to be happy and if that meant erasing all the memories than Klaus didn't have a problem with it. It pained him of course but he knew how he could still keep an eye on his brother.

"I'm proud of you, you know that right?" The hybrid said which caught Marcel's attention fully. "We may have our differences but you've done well for yourself compared to me. You took this city once I left and turned into something that I could never do. You made how many vampires and managed to keep all of them in line. You've done what I couldn't and for that I will always be proud"

Marcel didn't say anything but faintly smile with the shake of his head. He heard such a speech like that before and it still was nice to hear. The last couple of years had become hell for both of them especially at eachothers throats left and right.

"Just don't go do anything stupid. Family is important and Freya will fix everything"

"Now you sound like Violet there. You two are too much alike" Klaus had flickered his eyes between Marcel and the coffin for a moment. "Take care of yourself Marcel"

He had leaned a little forward to hug Marcel which he had accepted. It was hard for them to part the way they were because he didn't know if he would ever see him again. New Orleans was going to be off limits for a while and if even Marcel was brought back to life he still had to stay away.

Once Klaus was gone the only person left to show up was Vincent who still was nowhere to be found. Josh had been waiting towards the entrance for him until he heard Marcel struggling inside. He sounded exactly the same way Violet had so he made his way back inside. For Josh again he was too late.

The vampire had taken it upon himself to put Marcel in the other coffin while still waiting for Vincent. He had stood between the two and took a deep breath trying to think of what to do next. With Davina gone, Josh had counted on Marcel and Violet. They had been his closest friends in the city and it felt like a part of him was gone as well.

Moving over to the wall that was empty, Josh had put the coffins side by side hoping that they were going to fit in the space he made. Once they did, he grabbed a few bricks and began to brick up the wall towards the bottom. Vincent had finally showed up and paused at the scene.

"You might want to start your spell" Josh said quietly trying to keep composure of himself.

He had nodded and began to get his ingredients for the seal. New Orleans was going to be silent for a while and things were going to be different. The Mikaelson family with the exception of Freya could not return for a while nor see their family ever again. The King and Queen were dead and weren't coming back anytime soon or even at all for that matter.

The Crescent City was going to change for better or worse.ty once I left and turned into smething that I could never do. You made how many vampires and managed t keep all of them in liem seemed surprised that he showed up. Klaus walked fruther
