Marcel pushed open the door and strode in with a large canvas duffle bag slung across his shoulder.
"Marcel," Davina put down her charcoal, "something's happening. There was a witch doing magic in the Quarter," and outside the Quarter, but I'm not ratting out a baby.
"No worries, D," he smiled and dropped the bag on the floor with a loud thump, "that one was Marcel approved. I got something I need you to handle." He pulled open the bag and gestured to the young vampire when he poked his head out.
Josh looked around the room before his wide eyes landed on Davina. The breath caught in his throat when he saw her.
"Oh no," he groaned, "y-you're the super witch."
Marcel stood alongside Davina and smiled down at her. "Say hi to Josh."
"Why would you bring him here?" She cocked an eyebrow and crossed her arms.
"Josh here has a problem," Marcel forced him into a wooden chair, "Klaus compelled him to spy on me. I can't have that," he backed away so he was by Davina again, "so I thought I'd just kill him…"
"Please, Marcel," Josh interrupted as his heart thundered in his ears, "it's not my fault!"
Marcel ignored him and continued with a tight smile.
"Then I thought 'killing a vampire, which would be breaking my own rule'. The smart thing to do is to flip Josh, that way he can tell Klaus whatever I want." He tilted his head and grinned. "He could even spy for me. We just gotta get rid of that compulsion." He turned to face the young witch. "So, what do you think?"
Davina chewed her lip and frowned at Josh before nodding. "I can try to make him forget what Klaus said, but the more he said the more it will hurt."
"Probably going to hurt a lot, huh Josh?" Marcel arched an eyebrow. Josh nodded, desperate to finally gain his own free will.
" I will do it." he replied and Marcel smirked, " Anything yes, How much pain are we talking about?" he asked and Davina looked reluctant before she finally raised her hand, and Josh fell to the floor screaming.
Outside Marcel walked out of the attic to the gateway of the church when he felt another presence watching him one presence that he would recognize anywhere,
" I thought you were leaving town. Couldn't stay away, huh? Marcel said the last part with a smirk. Rebekah Mikaelson didn't seem to appreciate the comment, as she grabbed him by the shoulder and flipped him on his back before pressing her heel to his neck,
" I was half-past Lousiana when I found out you invaded our home, what have you done with Elena?" Rebekah glared at Marcel with her hands on her hips.
He smirked and tilted his head. "You're so hot when you're angry," his eyes roamed over her rigid frame.
Rebekah did not look amused in the slightest as she grabbed Marcel by his shoulders again lifting Marcel and throwing him across the sanctuary to collide with the confessional, he fell down with a pained groan and looked at the girl he loved.
"You used me," Rebekah said, her eyes shining with betrayal and hurt as her voice broke.
"I'm pretty sure that was mutual," he gave her a suggestive look when he climbed to his feet.
"Beguiled by your charms," she continued her hurt clear in her voice, but she had succeeded in regaining some sort of composure, "I slept with you, like a fool. I all but led you to our home and then you took Elena?" her voice turned accusing at the end.
"I didn't take anybody," he held out his hands up, and moved towards her, "alright? I already sorted this out with your brothers. But it begs the question, why'd you come back?"
Rebekah took a step closer and pointed to her own chest. "If Klaus learns it's my fault you found your way to the plantation…"
"Do you really think I'd rat you out?" Marcel asked astounded and angry looking at her in the eye and cupped her face. "Come on. If you think that I'd ever, in a thousand years, do anything to hurt you, you've got me confused with Klaus."
Rebekah's voice turned a little breathy by his advances but it didn't dim the anger and hurt in her voice, "All that your charms and flirtations do is prove that you are every bit the liar and manipulator he is." she said removing his hand.
"Is that what you really think?" Marcel asked, his soft smile fell. Hurt flashed in his eyes.
"By all means, prove me wrong."
"Fine, come on, something you need to see," he said. With that Marcel walked out and the blonde original after a moment followed him.
Elijah took a deep breath trying to calm both his temper and anxiety, but he couldn't stop his foot from nervously tapping into the floor. Sabine had been trying to locate Elena for the past few hours, trying all the spells she knew but the results were futile, to say the least.
" Stop it will you brother," Klaus said as he roamed around the table with his hands behind his back, " You are making a dent on a perfectly good floor, our floor if I may say."
Elijah gave Klaus a small sarcastic smile," My apologies Niklaus, I was just moving my feet around a bit, I didn't really get the opportunity to stretch my legs in the confinement of the coffin I was forced to endure for about a month." Klaus gave a humorless chuckle but didn't dignify looking even a bit repentant.
" I can't," Sabine said, and both the brothers looked at her, "I can't find her, she is cloaked, I have tried everything that I know, the only way that she can be tracked is digital."
" But Elena needs to send a signal for that," Klaus said, exhaling a breath, through his mouth.
" Who do you think could have taken her?" Elijah asked, getting up and leaning against a wall,
" Witches, vampires one of our many enemies, who knows Or maybe she has gone on her own accord."
" Elena would have informed us or at least called by now."
" That or maybe one of her many friends found themselves in danger and she rushed for their help."
" Nonsense Niklaus, as far as I am aware they and her friends are not on cordial terms. It is unlikely that they will inform her of anything." Elijah said,
" But what if it is one of those," Klaus said, not speaking the word he wanted to because of the presence of vampires and the witch around them." How do they even work?"
Elijah understood the unsaid word visions and shrugged," I have no clue, however even if we consider that option that she is in Mystic Falls which I highly doubt, then I suggest you call one of the residents and ask of Elena's whereabouts."
Klaus was about to reply before there was a vibrating noise from his pocket indicating that his phone rang, he took it out and looked at the name on the screen,
" I believe that won't be necessary," Klaus said, as he put the phone to his ears,
" What is it, Elena?" Elijah began but was cut off when Klaus said,
" Hello love."
" Klaus," Caroline's panicked voice rung clear from the phone, " What is happening over there?"
" Over where love, in New Orleans?"
" I am not joking, Elena just called me from Tyler's phone she asked me to call you, she said that she is somewhere in the armpit of Louisiana and she has wolf's bane in her system,"
" What?" Elijah said immediately on alert. All signs of amusement seemed to ask from Klaus' face as he looked deadly serious and anxious.
" What is happening? Is she okay?" Caroline asked.
" I will talk to you later, Caroline," Klaus said, immediately canceling the call. Elijah turned to Sabine,
" Make haste and make me the wolfsbane antidote," he ordered,
" I can't," Sabine said, shaking her head," It takes a lot of power to make it, I don't have that much. It would take me hours to make it." She looked at Klaus when she said it," She will be dead by then."
Klaus ran his hands through his hair his panic showing as he fought with himself to not kill Sabine.
" We need a more powerful witch, Ummm Davina," Elijah said looking around,
" I will get her," the voice of Marcel rang, and both the originals looked at him in surprise, in their worry and anxiety they had failed to notice that he had returned. "The cure I mean, you both will owe me big time," he continued, to anyone who did not know him personally he would appear calm and composed but Klaus was able to detect the worry and panic in Marcel's body language which confused him greatly but he pushed that matter into the back of his mind in order to take care of the more important ones for now.
In one of the attics of New Orleans, Davina looked helplessly with sympathy as she looked at Josh whose agony-filled screams continued to vibrate.
"I am sorry but this is just gonna get worse," Davina frowned when she looked at Josh curled in the fetal position on her floor. "Klaus compulsion runs deep," Davina said as she leaned down beside him taking him by the arm and helping him on a chair," You need to think of something else. Take your mind off it."
Josh panted as he took some time to collect himself,
" Do you like music," Davina asked.
" What, what," josh panted, " I can't think about music right now. Why? I don't know. Maybe because you are giving me a voodoo lobotomy."
Davina looked apologetic as she searched her mind for something else.
"Do you like jazz?" she offered.
Josh sighed and tipped his head back to stare at the ceiling.
"So, what then?" she asked again.
"I like," he inhaled before rolling his head forward to look at her. "Club stuff," he bobbed his head from side to side when he saw her confused look, "house, trance. You know 'uhnse, uhnse, uhnse, uhnse'?"
"I'm a witch," Davina looked to the side looking in equal measures both exasperated and alone. "not Amish. I've just never been to clubs. I'm only sixteen you know?"
"When I was sixteen, I'd been to like, a hundred clubs," he said still trying to get himself adjusted to the pain "God it was only four years ago; it feels like another life. All I wanted to do was meet boys. Things are so much more complicated now," he tapped the floor with his fingers. "Now all I want to do is meet boys, feed on people's blood, get one of those daylight rings so I don't burn in the sun." His voice took on a sarcastic tone when he tilted his head. "All perfectly normal things."
Davina turned around and walked to Tim's violin, it still sat on the table where Elijah had set it after mending it, she played it softly for a few seconds before turning back around to face Josh. "I like the classics, Puccini, Bach, and Mozart: I took piano. Not that it matters while I am stuck here," she said taking a seat in the nearest armchair.
"Why not?" Josh asked.
"Marcel's worried that someone would hear, It's not his fault; he just wants to keep me safe," Davina replied
"Safe from what?" Josh asked again confused and curious.
"Basically," Davina said in bittersweet remembrance, "a coven of psycho witches that want to sacrifice me in a blood ritual."
"Wow," Josh managed a dry laugh, "I'm sorry? I don't really know what else to say besides I'm sorry."
"Don't be," Davina shook her head and clenched her jaw looking at him determinedly. "I'm going to destroy them all. Once they're gone everything will go back to normal, and I'll have my old life back." She smiled.
Josh just smiled and nodded before Marcel burst into the room his panic now showing with full force, and Davina stood up alarmed while Josh turned around,
" Davina," Marcel said with panic, " I need you to make me the cure for wolfsbane,"
" What, but why. You want to help a werewolf don't you hate them." Davina asked
" It's not a werewolf or maybe it is, I don't know, "
" Is it Klaus again?" the young witch asked anger flashing in her eyes, "Did he hurt you? blackmail you? Take me to him, I will kill him."
" No, no, no," Marcel shook his head, " It's not Klaus, it is Elena she is poisoned."
" What? You mean the girl that lives with the originals why are you worried about her, I thought she was the enemy."
" Elena is just not the enemy or some girl that lives with the originals, I don't even know why she is living with him after what they had done to her." Marcel shook his head again, before holding Davina by the shoulders, " I will tell you later about her, we both share a history together, just know that she is very important to me. Can you please make the cure?"
Davina despite looking confused nodded.
Hello again, sorry for the late update it is just that my midterms are coming up so updating is not my priority right now. So here one more plot opens what do you think is the history that Marcel and Elena share, any guesses but let me tell you it is not romantic in any way. Let me reply to some of your reviews. So
Guest = I also ship Elejah, and Elena is only going to get more badass but I have no intention of removing her soft side. I ship Klaus with both Caroline and Cami, and Stefan and Camille might work weirdly, I don't know, but the more I think about this ship, the more I feel it can work if Cami was not really attracted to the bad boys. Qetsiyah and Freya well that is a very interesting ship, but who knows the make work too. Although I am not really sure if Qetsiyah is bi or gay.
Guest = I agree with your point that Klaus and Elena may not be able to work, I mean I wouldn't want to date my aunt's killer. And well I adore Enzo's character like that British humor is great and I promise I will fit him in New Orleans like that would be so fun. If Damon wasn't in love with Elena I bet that he would have fallen for Bonnie and we would get a lot of Bamon scenes.
iriski = thanks for reviewing. maybe you will get Klaus and Elena, I was actually thinking of a small love triangle between the three, like maybe. Please continue reading.
wazman =I am glad that you like it. Elena will start thinking about baby names, I plan to write a few scenes with Klaus and Elena debating baby names. Do suggest some of the names that you like I have not fixed my mind on anyone for now.
guest = No Elena certainly doesn't have to do anything she doesn't want to do, like apologizing to Rebekah, and they were then the villain of her story. But in my personal opinion, Elena apologized more for that part in which she pretended to be kind to Rebekah and be a friend before stabbing her in the back which we could conclude as betraying her than actually daggering her. It may have reminded her of Katherine, someone she hated being compared to, so I think that in the leap of good faith she apologized in the hope of maybe turning a new page. Or maybe that is just me.
Elejah88 = Elena and Klaus will have a strong bond and so will Elijah and Elena. You are one of my favorite authors and I am glad you like this fic. Do keep on reviewing and if possible can you please answer the questions I gave in the previous chapter.
Guest = Thanks for reviewing, I do love Lexi but I am debating between her and Valerie, and as for the love triangle you just put that idea in my mind I will see what I can do with it, I am glad you like this fic. Do keep on reviewing and if possible can you please answer the questions I gave in the previous chapter. The story will proceed accordingly.
Bayruna = Thanks for liking the story do continue reviewing and if possible try to answer the questions I gave in the previous chapters.
TheRealTayler13 = Thanks for liking the story do continue reviewing and if possible try to answer the questions I gave in the previous chapters. I plan on updating as often I can.
morganelove98 = Glad to know you like this fanfiction. Continue reviewing and if possible try to answer the questions I gave in the previous chapter. I am afraid I didn't understand your next message, what did you mean when u said Beth and Noah, hope you can clarify.
David12leca = Can I begin by saying that your messages made my day. I am glad that you liked how I included Elena in chapter six, and in chapter 7 when Stefan arrived, I specifically added the part in which Elena defends herself pretty much because I hated how in the show they made her out to be Bella Swan in some parts mostly towards the end and the part in which she was skilled enough to take out all those people well that is a part of a much bigger pothole. Eric is a nice name, I feel it may even fit with what I intend his character to be like. For the Tyler part, in most of the fanfics that I have read, instead of Hayley, it's either Caroline or some Oc usually Elena's sister, they pretty much gave the same conversation. I just feel that Hayley and Tyler were friends for not long while Elena here Tyler knew her whole life, I don't think he would be able to you know not to confront her. Or maybe that's just me. Please continue reviewing and try to answer other questions
S Thakur = Thanks for continuing to review, and answering the questions. I love your opinions. Jealous Damon will be fun to write.
Ashes2Dust18 = Thanks for reviewing, I loved the idea of your names. And Damon at times is impulsive. I adore Bonenzo.
