Alyssa sat quietly on the pink chair that was next to the window with her knees pressed against her chest and her cheek on her knees as she gazed out the window. She had been kept in the house for a few days now and she felt herself starting to go crazy with boredom as there was nothing for her to do and no other children to play with. It also made her miss her family even more and now she could not even go and find her family that lived in this universe.

Alyssa heard footsteps approaching her room, this caused her to lift her head up to look at her door and braced herself for who could be entering her door. As the door swung open to reveal Marcel, she could not help but frown up at the older vampire.

"Are you here to yell at me some more?" Alyssa asks bravely.

"It's been two days since I did, I am no longer mad at you," Marcel explains as he moves to kneel down in front of her.

"You were rude to me, so I'm not talking to you," Alyssa tells him before looking out the window, to prove that she did not want to talk to him.

"Look, I'm really sorry Ally, it was wrong of me to yell at you, can you forgive me?"

Alyssa continued to look out her window, silently debating whether or not to forgive him, but decided to agree to forgive him for she was afraid of what he may do to her if she tells him no. "Okay… I forgive you."

"Thank you."

"Does this mean I can go outside now?"

"No."

Alyssa let out a small pout, she really wanted to go outside and explore, she hated being cooped up in her and it made her feel awful as well. "Then what am I supposed to do? Because it is boring here…"

"I was wondering when you were going to ask, now come with me," Marcel explains as he stands up and sticks his hand out for her to take.

Ally slowly stood up and cautiously slipped her smaller hand into his and allowed him to take her where he wanted to go. He started leading her through the house to a spare office, where Diego was sitting at the table with books. This caused Ally to look up at Marcel with a puzzled look.

"Diego is going to help with some school work because from now on you're being homeschooled." Marcel points out to Ally as he picks her up and places her on the chair across from Diego.

"Now the two of behave, I shall be back in a few hours," Marcel instructs them as he walks out the door, shutting it behind him.

Alyssa turned to face Diego as soon as Marcel left the room and raised an eyebrow at him, she was tempted to protest but she was too bored and had nothing else to do, so she may as well brush up on her school work. "So, what am I learning first?"

"Okay… What's does 3 plus 3 equals?"

"6"

"Very good… What's 2 plus 8 equals?"

"10," Alyssa answered with a bored huff, all of the equations were too easy for her, she thought this would be entertaining but now it's turning out to be boring and she was rather do anything else.

"Now, 10 plus 3- "

"Stop!" Alyssa cuts him off. "This is too easy!"

"Alyssa, you're 6, this is as complicated for as it is going to get."

"It's Ally and they're too easy!" Alyssa complained before biting her inner cheek to stop herself telling Diego her real age, for she was actually 32, she just aged slowly and had the mental capacity of a 6-year-old. "Please can you please give me something that will be a challenge?"

Diego just stares at her for a moment before letting out a sigh of acknowledgement. "Fine! Fine! We'll move onto times tables."

"Finally!"

"Don't get cheeky with me young lady, now tell me, what's 2 times 10?"

"Ugh!" Ally whines and throws her head back dramatically.

Alyssa sat quietly reading on her bed, holding her book in her lap with one hand, whilst the other held her torch, as it was now 8 o clock at night, and she should be sleeping but she was not tired. So, she decided to read one of her new books, when suddenly she heard familiar voices.

Ally quickly closes the book and climbs off her bed and tiptoes to the door and quietly opens it before carefully walking down the hallway and along a few corridors and see's two figures on the balcony, she quickly hides behind the wall that leads out onto the balcony and tries to listen to the conversation that was happening between the two men.

She recognised their voices, it was Klaus and Elijah, they were here in New Orleans like she is, however, the little brunette stops herself from going outside to them. For she does not know this Klaus and Elijah and they could be dangerous and not at all like the Klaus and Elijah she knows.

She decides that it would be best to watch them from a distance, to see what they are like before she approaches them, that way she could be sure that she would be safe with them. She tries to make out what they are talking about but can only hear muffles and the occasional words. She could hear them talking about someone going conspiring, whatever that word meant against her uncle Klaus. Then nothing, slowly she peaks her out into the doorway to see that they're gone.

Ally lets out a small sigh and shakes her head and starts making her way back to her room only to look up and see Thierry blocking her way and jumps in surprise.

"What are you doing out of bed?" He questions her.

"I went to get a drink of water." She lies, hoping that he will believe her.

"Uh-huh, get back to bed." He orders, believing her lie.

Ally gives him a small smile before starting to make her way back to her room.

Ally tossed and turned in her bed, for the music that Marcel was playing for his party in the courtyard was incredibly loud and she could not get to sleep because of it, she let out an annoyed huff and placed her pillow over her head to try and block out the noise. But it is not good and lets out another huff, throws the covers off of herself and starts making her way down the hallway and reaches the balcony to see Marcel and Klaus talking.

Alyssa kneels down onto the ground and tries to listen in again and to see what type of person this Klaus was and hopes that they don't see her in the corner of the balcony where she is trying to hide.

"What can I do for you?" Marcel asks Klaus

"What you can do for me is tell this thing is that you have with the witches." Klaus demands

"You know I owe you everything I got but I'm afraid I have to draw the line on this one… This is my business. I control the witches in my tow, let's just leave it at that" Marcel tries to reason.

"Your town?"

"Damn straight"

"That's funny" Klaus laughs "Because when I left a 100 years ago you were just a pathetic little scrapper still trembling from the lashes of the whips of those who accused down and now look at you. Master of your domain prince of the city."

Alyssa could not help but frown as she clasps the white bars of the railings and leaned her face against the balcony trying to get a better view of what was happening and noticed that the music had stopped playing and everyone had stopped dancing.

"I'd like to know how."

"Why? Jealous?" Marcel begins "Hey man I get it 300 years ago you helped build a backwater pinacolone into something you started actually you ran from it. I saw it through, look around, vampires rule this city now. I got rid of the werewolves; I found a way to shut down the witches. The blood never stops flowing and the party never ends. You want to pass one through? You want to stay awhile? Great what's mine is yours but it is mine. My home, my family, my rules!"

"And if someone breaks those rules?" Klaus challenges

"They die. Mercy is for the weak, you taught me that too" Marcel answers "And I'm not the prince of the quarter, friend, I'm the KING! Show me some respect!"

Alyssa had to quickly cover her mouth to stop herself from screaming as she watched Klaus bit Thierry's neck. She was now well and truly frightened for she had never seen Klaus act like that before, at least not around her and she did not like it. She wanted to run and hide but she found herself glued to the floor and forced herself to continue watching what was going on.

"Your friend will be dead by the weekend. Which means I've broken one of your rules and yet I cannot be killed. I am immortal... Who has the power now friend?" Klaus dares Marcel.

Alyssa could feel someone's eyes on her and looks around to see Elijah in the other dark corner, her eyes go wide at the sight of him, she quickly gets up off the ground and runs back into her room and under the covers, hoping that he does not follow her into her room.

She does not know how long she has waited for him to enter her room or anyone else for that matter, she tried to fight off how tired she is but her eyelids eventually close over her blue eyes and she drifts off to sleep.

Alyssa could not help but let out a small groan as she woke to someone shaking her, she opens her eyes to see Marcel. "What?" She asks groggily.

"Get dressed, I'm taking you to meet a friend of mine," Marcel explains as he moves to step away from the bed.

"You mean, I get to leave this place?" Alyssa asks eagerly as she sits up in bed, though part of her was afraid that this was a cruel joke or that she was still dreaming.

"Yes. Just for today though, you are still grounded here for using your magic." Marcel answers her as he crosses his arms. "Now get dressed."

"I'm going! I'm going!" Alyssa beams as she throws the covers off herself, runs over to her wardrobe, picks out a purple dress and runs into the bathroom to get changed.

As she was excited to be finally getting out of the house and meeting one of his friends, hopefully, the friend she was meeting was nice and liked kids.
