Alex's P.O.V

I was wearing my white dress from earlier as I walked through the streets. Victor and Daniel were looking down every alleyway. Klaus would think Davina was dumb enough to walk straight through the festival. As I made my way through the crowd, I spotted Marcel, Elijah, and Klaus.

" I was just telling Elijah how we're wasting time, " Marcel said to Klaus.

" You don't like festivals? " Klaus asked him.

"I don't see why not?" I asked them and they turned to me. "Who doesn't love a street fair?"

"Looks like you changed your mind?" Klaus said.

"Well, I do like the story of the Casket Girls," I answered.

"And this has to do with Davina?" He asked. "You didn't seem happy when we were talking about her earlier."

"You were talking about hurting a 16-year-old girl who's lived her few past months in an attic and was lied to by a man she saw as family," I explained to him. "She has the right to leave in my opinion. Especially since you only want her back for her power."

"For the record, we are moments away from retrieving her," Klaus informed me, with a tone that said he was up to something.

"I recognize that tone of voice, Niklaus," Elijah stated. Yeah so do I. "Clearly you have some diabolical machination. What is it?" Klaus just smirked then walked over to the boy I saw playing the violin on the night I met Davina. No…

"Timothy…" I began to make my way towards Klaus. "Might I have a word?" Klaus compelled him. I grabbed him by the arm as the boy turned to him.

"What the fuck?" I snapped.

"It's the only way to find her." Klaus reasoned.

"By putting the boy she loves in danger?!" I exclaimed. "Don't you have any other tricks? If you do this, you will make Davina hate you."

"You and I both know the lengths people will go to for love," Klaus said. "Go. Enjoy the festival. I'll be home before the night ends." He then sped away with the boy. FUCK!

I felt a hand on my shoulder and I turned to see Elijah. "Don't worry, Marcel and I have placed Davina under a protection spell. In case anything were to happen to her." Elijah explained.

"Yeah and what about that boy?" I asked him. "If he dies, all of us are going to have a very pissed and heartbroken witch on our hands."

~Back at the Compound~

I went back to the compound after searching for an hour. I couldn't find Klaus or Timothy anywhere and I fear for the pain Davina is about to feel. But I'm tired, my ankles hurt and I need to sit down. Victor went back to the Bayou because Hayley called him and Daniel was still looking, though I doubt he'll be able to find them. Then my phone buzzed and I looked down to see it was from Daniel. ' Let Davina attack them. I'll be there soon with her friend Josh. Just make sure she doesn't turn on you. - Daniel ' Ok. That's fine. The three of them deserve it.

I walked in and saw Elijah and Klaus coming down the stairs. They looked at me and I heard violin music coming from above me. I turned and saw Timothy sitting on a banister above me. He was frightened and my attention went back to Klaus.

"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?!" I screamed at him. "Did you not hear me earlier? You hurt that boy and you will make an enemy out of Davina!"

"Alexandria-" I slapped Klaus across the face.

"Don't Alexandria me!" I yelled at him. "If I was in this position you would have killed the messenger who told you. What makes you think Davina won't do the same?"

"Davina won't kill anyone," Marcel voiced and I turned to him.

"Is it done?" Klaus asked him.

"Words spread throughout the quarter," Marcel informed us. I groaned as I walked away from the three idiots and sat down on the couch nearby. "When Davina gets here, you two need to let me do the talking."

"Well, I'm sure you'll have your chance," Klaus said and walked around him. I turned to see Davina walking in and she looked pissed. I did warn them. "Hello, love." Klaus greeted her and they turned to her. "Silence is golden, Timothy. Thank you." Klaus commanded him while pointing in his direction. Timothy stopped playing as Davina gasped at the sight of him.

"Davina?" Timothy asked and she turned to Klaus.

"You got me here. Now let him down," Davina stated.

"Well, first, we have to have a little chat about you returning to the fold," Klaus told her. Are you trying to make her angry? Marcel walked up to him.

"What did I say, Klaus?" He asked him. "I got this." Marcel then turned to the little witch. "D, what happened? Why'd you run? Talk to me. Hey, I can make it right."

"How, by threatening my friend?" Davina asked him.

"Actually, that was my idea. Apologies. I've been known to go too far to make a point," No shit. "But I do always get results," Klaus explained as he walked towards her, and she laughed at him. I sat up a bit and looked at her pleased. I like her.

"You pretend to be so confident, but I know the truth," Davina said and Klaus looked at her amused. "You're afraid everyone can see what you really are - an animal…" She raised her hand then placed it down. Klaus kneeled down while all his bones broke, shifting into the wolf inside of him. He screamed and I didn't move, but Elijah did. He rushed to his brother's side which only made Davina turned to him. She pushed both Marcel and Elijah away from Klaus and made them kneel too. "A beast," Davina said to Klaus. "Why don't you show us your real face?" Davina moved her hand which made Klaus lift up his face. His eyes were golden while black vines danced under his eyes. "That's enough of you." She then knocked him out.

"Davina, you don't have to do this," Elijah said and she walked towards him.

"You -" She said as she forced Elijah to look at her. "You looked me in the eyes and lied to my face, pretended you wanted to help me."

"Listen to me," Elijah said as she raised her hand towards him.

"You call yourself the noble one, but you're a killer just like your brother." Elijah started to shake. "For 1,000 years, you fed on innocent blood. Why don't you choke on it?" She asked him and that is exactly what he did. Elijah started to cough up blood, as it spewed from his mouth like water from a faucet. It didn't stop until he died. Elijah's white shirt was covered in blood and he fell into a pool of his own blood.

"And you-" Marcel stood up as Davina walked over to him. "I trusted you. I loved you, but you were just using me to stay in power. You don't care about me," Davina confronted him and I slowly stood up. If anyone could talk himself out of this one, it was Marcel.

"You're wrong," Marcel budded in.

"When you lost to Klaus, you handed me over like some trophy." I would like to see how you're going to talk your way out of this one. "Maybe I should boil you in bronze," Davina said. I would like to see that.

"I care," Marcel stated. "I took you in like you were my own blood." Davina was starting to cry. Shit, she was going to forgive him. Nope. I'm saving her from that pain. I sped in between them and snapped his neck. I watched his body fall disgracefully to the ground.

"Thank god that's over," I hummed, then turned to Davina and she looked between Marcel and me confused. "Come on now, darling," I said to her. "Don't tell me you were falling for that." She looked at me. "Isn't it time for us girls to have a chat?" I looked at the three bodies around us. "Now that was impressive and well-deserved in my opinion." She looked as if she was about to attack me and I put my hands up deservedly. "Now, before you turn on me, I have a surprise for you."

The gates opened and Davina turned towards the sound. In came Daniel and Josh, I'm assuming. "Josh, what are you doing? Get out of here." Davina exclaimed. I sped over and grabbed Josh in a chokehold. Sadly, I believe this is the only way to explain to her, that I'm not Klaus.

"What are you doing?" Josh asked and Daniel looked at me confused. I gave a look and he calmed down, once he realized I wasn't going to kill Josh.

"Now, if I were Klaus, I would rip Josh's head off of his neck then feed it to one of Marcel's old nightwalkers and that would be the end of your friend," I explained to her. After a few more seconds I let go of Josh and he caught his breath. "But hurting people is such a childish thing to do, like how Klaus compelled your fiddler on the roof, and, while I am a hybrid, I am definitely not Klaus." I looked at Daniel and he gave me a slight nod. Then I turned to Timothy and smiled. "It's ok, Tim you can come down now. Nobody's going to hurt you."

"He told me I couldn't climb down off this beam." He told me and I rolled my eyes.

"Then don't climb," I sighed. "Am I the only smart one in the room? Jump."

Daniel walked over to him and stood underneath the beam. Timothy placed his violin in one hand and leaped off of the beam, to which Daniel caught him. I smiled as Davina walked up to him, relieved that he wasn't harmed. Tim looked between the beam and Daniel before turning to Davina. She hugged him, but he quickly pushed her away.

"Davina, how did you do all of that?" He asked her, scared of what he witnessed. "How did I get here?"

"I'll explain everything," Davina promised him and he then pulled her into a hug. I watched them with a small smile. They pulled away and looked at me. "Why are you doing this?"

"Seems to me that you're the one holding all the cards," I told her. "But you don't know who to trust. Daniel and I have just proven that you can trust us."

"And now I'd like to show you both one more thing," Daniel said and we looked at him. "Won't take long. You can bring your friend." Daniel began to walk away and Davina, Tim, and Josh followed behind him. I watched as they headed towards the basement, but didn't follow them immediately.

I walked over to Klaus and squatted down to him, before running my hand through his hair. "I warned you and you didn't listen to me. You never listen to me...and that's exactly why I can't trust you," I spoke to him, before pulling my hand away. "Because how am I supposed to trust someone who won't listen." I felt a tear running down my face as I was confronted with my emotions. I knew he couldn't hear me, but I had to say this out loud. "I love you. I will always love you, but I can't be with you until you trust me." I swallowed the lump in my throat before standing up and walking to the basement, making sure to wipe away the one tear.

I walked down to the basement, to see it's littered with desiccated vampires. They were boarded up to the walls or buried into the ground with only their head showing. "What is this?" I asked Daniel.

"Something I found earlier today," He explained. "I thought you and Davina would like to know what happened to Marcel's men when they betray them. He learned from the best. Most of what their poor souls did is no worse than what Josh did." I was shocked and Daniel turned to one of the vampires. "Take Thierry, for example." I walked up to him. "He was Marcel's most trusted friend. Klaus tricked him into breaking one of Marcel's rules. Marcel knows this, and yet he keeps Thierry locked in here day after day, suffering."

"I'm so sorry," I whispered and Thierry just looked down.

"This is insane," Tim stated.

"Why are you telling me this?" Davina asked Daniel.

"Because you need to know who you're dealing with," Daniel explained. "Who you can trust." I looked at the witch and the sight was overwhelming her.

"Hey, hey, it's gonna be ok," Tim said as he walked up to her. "I mean, you're gonna be alright. Here," Time handed her a water bottle. "Drink something." Davina began to drink the water and she turned to me.

"Davina, both you and I have been lied to by the three men dead upstairs. Maybe together, we can get a little payback." I offered her and she seemed to like the idea. Then Tim started having trouble breathing.

"Tim?" Davina asked and rushed over to him. I walked over as he fell to the ground.

"It was Klaus. He made me do it." Tim explained as he had trouble breathing. "I didn't even know what I was doing until I made you-"

"Made her what?" I asked him.

"Drink." He answered and everything clicked. Tim began to cough more and lay back.

"Klaus poisoned the water," I explained. Davina then fell back and I rushed over to her. I caught her before she hit the floor. The little witch, I grew to be fond of, dying in my lap.

"Davina?" Josh asked as he came over to us. "Oh, no." He said and I looked at Daniel.

My phone rang and I saw it was Klaus. " Alex, where are you? " Klaus asked me.

"I'm with Davina, and she's dying because of your dishonesty," I told him.

" Well, I tried to talk to her out of respect for Marcel and you, but she made it quite clear she is not our friend, " Klaus explained as Josh bit his wrist and fed it to Davina. " My apologies if you thought she was yours. "

"Just tell me how to cure her, Klaus," I begged. "Vampire blood isn't working."

" No. It wouldn't. You see, the poison I compelled Timothy to feed her is quite potent. " I closed my eyes. " It's just a matter of time for her. " He told me.

"For both of them, you fucking asshole. They're children. We could've dealt with her fairly." I growled at him as Davina twisted in my lap. "Shh, sh," I told her as I stroked her hair calmly. "You're going to be ok."

" There is no dealing with those who threaten us, Alexandria. Davina sealed her fate when she stood against me. " Klaus explained.

"She was trying to save the boy she loved, the person you put in harm's way for no reason," I corrected him.

" Nonetheless, she made her choice, " Klaus replied and hung up the phone. I stared at my phone before I heard Davina begin to paint slowly.

"No, no, no," I said and propped her up. "Davina, keep your eyes on me, ok?" Her head rolled backward, has her chest went down. "Davina!" I yelled and Daniel placed his hand on my shoulder.

"She's gone, Alex," Daniel said and I closed my eyes as more tears fell.

I looked at Davina and Tim's bodies. "I shouldn't have agreed to come back here," I told Daniel. "I should have just kept running."

"Alex-"

"They're children!" I exclaimed. "And Klaus killed him out of paranoia. If he can do that, then I don't want my kids around him." Davina shot up with a gasp and Josh immediately pulled her into a hug. Elijah said he had protected her. I looked at Tim, then to Daniel who looked away. Davina turned around and saw Time still lying there. Dead.

"Tim." She said and I looked away. "Tim! Tim? Tim, Tim, wake up. Tim, please wake up." I moved into a kneeling position and grabbed Davina by the shoulders. "Open your eyes. No, no." I pulled her into a hug as she cried. "Please wake up. Please don't leave me alone."

"I'm so sorry, Davina," I whispered to her and held her as she cried.

~At the Compound~

Davina stopped crying and eventually passed out in my arms. Daniel picked her up and we made our way to the compound. Josh went back into hiding. Daniel and I walked in with her and Marcel ran up to us. "Is she ok?" He asked.

"She's alive," I told him and I looked at Klaus.

"Where's her room?" Daniel asked him.

"No. I got her." Marcel told us and I looked at him, seriously. "I got her." Daniel looked at me and I gave him a slight nod. He then handed Davina to Marcel. I watched the way Marcel held her, and he held her as if she was his daughter. Yet he managed to hurt her. Marcel then turned and walked upstairs with Davina.

Daniel looked at me and I sighed. "Go, I'll be fine," I told him and he nodded before speeding up to his own room.

Elijah seemed as upset as I did and I didn't feel like yelling at him. Not to mention he and Marcel were the reason that Davina was alive, so they don't deserve my anger. Elijah then looked between the two of us and went upstairs himself. Knowing that whatever was about to go down, didn't involve him. Klaus crossed his arms and looked at the ground before looking at me.

When he did, I knew that yelling wouldn't change anything. I was just be wasting my energy. So I didn't yell. "Why?" I asked him.

"She's our enemy," Klaus responded in a hateful tone.

"She wasn't this morning," I told him. "This morning she was a girl who wanted to be free, but because of you, now she's a 16-year-old girl who lost the boy she loved. I told you Davina wasn't trying to destroy you, but now, after what you've done, she will want to destroy you and I think I might just help her."

"Is that a threat?" Klaus asked.

"It's a promise," I replied. "You should've listened to me." I then walked upstairs, leaving Klaus alone with his thoughts.

I walked past a room and saw Elijah sitting down with a pile of drawings. I decided to walk inside. "Thank you," I said to him. "For saving Davina."

"Your welcome," Elijah responded. "Though I wish I knew of Klaus's plan beforehand, so I could have saved that young boy for his fate. I'm sure you'll make Klaus regret that decision as much as Davina will." I looked down and sat across from him.

"What are all the drawings?" I asked him.

"They're Davina's sketches," He said and started to put them together as if it was a puzzle. "I wonder if they represent some kind of premonition. They seem to suggest something is coming...Something sinister." Elijah finally finished arranging the sketches, revealing that they are one big sketch of a woman's face. Elijah looked like he recognized it.

"Elijah who is that?" I asked him.

"Celeste," Elijah answered me.

"Oh my god," I said and pulled out my phone. I dialed Shopie's number and listened as it rang out.

"Who are you calling?" Elijah asked me.

"Sophie," I said. "She called me earlier asking for me to find information about her. I told him I didn't know anything and hung up. But I have a weird feeling she still found a way to track her down." Elijah looked concerned as we waited for the call to connect, but it never did.
