Klaus POV :
He slipped into Hayley's room and opened the curtains to let the sunlight filter in , Hayley Groaned and turned her back to him covering her face with the thick Blanket . " Go away " . she Groaned angrily .
He moved to her bed and gently wrestled the comforter from her tight grasps , " you need to get up sweetheart it's already ten in the Morning , you missed Breakfast " . he urged her softly .
" I don't want too " . she whined into her pillow .
He smiled at her childish antics and hoisted her up to her feet , she glared at him and stomped to the bathroom . " I hate you " .
She came back fifteen minutes later dressed in Rose pink bathrobe with a towel warped around her head she looked refreshed and more importantly awake .
" Morning " . Hayley greeted him with a smile .
" Morning , are you still hating me ? " . He asked her jokingly from the chair he was sitting on .
She shoot him a smile and went to her closet to change , " lucky for you I'm to busy Hating the ancestors to hate you " .
That got his complete attention , " what did the ancestors do this time ? " . he asked apprehensively .
The sound of clothes moving and rustling came from the changing Room as Hayley answered him , " it's not about what they did but what they want which is mine and Hope deaths , yours and your family in that order " . she answered him calmly .
" did you see anything ? " . He asked her curiously .
She came out dressed in black skinny jeans and green floral printed CAMI with a denim jacket in her hand that she throw into the bed and went on to the vanity to brush her hair . " I only know that the ancestors wanted the four harvest girls back to live , which can't be accomplished unless... " . she trailed off meaningfully .
" unless Genevieve Dies " . he finish with narrow suspicious eyes , " but why would they want the four girls back the harvest is already over ? " . he asked her more intrigued .
" But the Reaping isn't not all the power is back , so unless they bring the girl back or find another source of power the ancestors won't be satisfied " . she answered with a sigh .
He hummed thoughtfully , " this is worth milling over , anyway I have bad Knees to share with you " . he said with a smile .
She turned to him with the brush still in her hair and narrowed her eyes at him , she stepped closer to him with suspicious look before she waved the brush threateningly at him ," what did you do ? , that smile is pure wickedness , what did you do ? " . she demanded nervously .
He waved his hand placatingly at her and said cheekily , " I didn't do anything I swear " .
" But ? " . she questioned apprehensively .
" Father Kieran was admitted to the ICU this morning " . he informed her still unable to keep the smile from his voice or face .
Hayley blinked her eyes in shock before the brush fell from her limb grip he caught before it hit the ground , " what ? , but how ? , he was fine just last night " . Hayley asked in disbelieve .
" and he still is ? " . Klaus reassured her .
" but you just said that he was in the hospital in ICU even ? " . she asked with clear confusion .
" let me explain this to you " . he suggested as he took her hand and sat her on the couch beside him , " Yesterday Francisca had made roundabout threats on his lives and seeing as we don't want to lose an Ally , Elijah compelled him to believe that he was having a heart attack he was taken to the hospital by the sheriff and admitted to the ICU where he would be incapacitated for the foreseeable future " . he explained and she eyed him with amusement .
" you mean you can Compelle people to have heart attacks ? , what if he truly died ? " . she asked him worriedly .
He patted her hand comfortingly , " it's one of the various uses of compulsion , fear not Elijah has taken all percussions he went as far as compelling one of the cops to have aspirin on him and that he gave it to father Kieran " .
" so what is the plan for now ? " . she asked him curiously .
" the plan is to keep our eyes on Francisca Correa and extort her as much as possible before we dispose of her of need be , Elijah is meeting with Genevieve to discuss a request of hers . Marcel is trying to smooth things over with the vampires especially after what Happened yesterday " . Klaus stated as he moved to the door and opened it for Amanda who was holding a tray of Breakfast and continued on . " Rebekah is going to check on Freya , I intend to do a round around the quarter " .
Amanda put down the tray with a smiles to Hayley , " Good Morning Miss Marshall " . she greeted her softly .
Hayley smiled back as she took a sip from her juice , " Morning Amanda " .
" Mr. Mikaelson " . she nodded before leaving the room and closing the door behind her .
" I will smooth things over with the wolves " . Hayley said confidently after taking a bite from her Monte cresto sandwiches .
He tried not to react outwardly to her sentence but her Sharp eyes still caught on the slight shift on his expression , " Klaus I know that you are still apprehensive toward them and that you don't trust them , and I understand that . Jackson is not a bad person , I know for a fact that there is still many wolves who wants revenge on the Witch's and the vampires who want to gain the ultimate say in this city . but the majority want peace those are the one I'm concentrating on " . Hayley explained her view to him .
" how about we make a deal ? " . she asked him with a smirk .
With his interest peaked he leaned in and asked curiously , " and what would this deal be ? " .
" I still have two months of pregnancy to go " . she said with a tender rub to her pump he smiled gently down at the pump before looking up to meet her eyes again , " if I can't get hold on them in my way by then , I will give you and your methods a run but no excessive bloodshed , do you agree ? " . she proposed confidently .
He wanted to take her confidence as assurance that she would himself this , but he remembered her anger and sadness of two days before and the way that Jackson kenner looked at her like she hanged the moon and the star's , the boy is infatuated with her he would malleable to her ideas and believes , but his second would be a problem for Hayley and if he has supports he would have to interfere himself .
If he interfered now without reason or without Hayley's permission it will disadvantage him and prove the punk words true , but if he gave Hayley the time to work her magic on her people before he dealt with the troublesome faction for her then it will benefit her and her conciliation of power .
No one will take what is rightfully hers and his daughter in turn from them , that pack has only one alpha and he would make sure that they know it or they have no place in his family Home .
" you have yourself a deal love " . he promised with a satisfied smirk .
Lafayette cemetery :
Elijah and Genevieve stood outside the tomb far enough to watch Monique , Abigail inside the tomb each was sitting in a different relaxed position , while trying to do a spell , the two were facing each other with their eyes closed .
MONIQUE, ABIGAIL chanted in unison , " Vie dans des ancêtres , renforcer noblesse . Comme des ancêtres, de coeur noblesse . Décider on de ancêtres , garder noblesse " .
Genevieve guided Elijah away as she spoke , " you see we are teaching them to control and harness their powers and to strengthen their connection to the ancestors and in return our own " . she looked at him before continuing , " I believe that Davina will benefit from Joining her friends here it will help her considerably " .
Elijah gave her an unimpressed look , " I will have you know that I have no say on what Davina do , she herself want nothing to do with you and this coven she even want to talk with regent to join another one " . he said calmly with a small smirk provoking Genevieve anger .
" that is unacceptable , we will not let this pass nor would the regent , if she doesn't want to learn with her peers she won't that her lose but she must join on the ceremonies " . Genevieve insisted angrily .
" what ceremonies are you speaking of ? " . he asked her curiously .
Genevieve stood under a grim looking statue as she spoke again , " this is why I asked to meet you today , Actually I have a request to ask from you . I'm told our coven hasn't been able to celebrate feast days in the open since Marcel restricted the use of magic . Now with the new peace , I'd like that to change " .
Elijah eyes her warily before demanding , " Am I to assume that you have a certain feast day in mind ? " .
Genevieve smiled a poisoned smile as she answered , " La Fête des Bénêdictions . Feast of the Blessings . In the past , members of the community offered witches gifts in exchange for blessings . We'd like to use it as a forum for introducing our young Harvest girls to society , that include Davina " .
Elijah gave her a contemptuous look as he replied coolly , " So your coven attempted to destroy my ... and you yourself had helped torment Hayley and tried to kill my niece ... and you would like a party for the witches ? " .
" we were at war , let's bygones be bygones . Why don't you think it over ? . and if you agree Davina will need to showcase her power and participate " . Genevieve reasoned with him before leaving to return to the Witch's .
Inside the tomb :
Monique screams before she begins to chant , " Aah !Sine la quatrieme puella leve , comme Genevieve ceciderit . Sine la quatrieme puella leve , comme Genevieve ceciderit " .
Abigail watched her with patient silence until she stopped before asking her curiously , " Monique, what did Genevieve do ? , what are the ancestors orders ? " .
" They say that she can become compromised , they say it's time to complete the Reaping . To do that , the fourth Harvest girl must be resurrected , which means... it's time for Genevieve to die " . Monique informed her friend who nodded just then Genevieve returned with a smile in her face not noticing the two Girls cold looks .
" I have him half convinced , but don't worry he will agree I won't give him another choice but to , focus on your spells I want you to outshine Davina I want her to understand her mistakes " . she ordered the two and they nodded in agreement she nodded in satisfaction before leaving .
The French quarter :
Elijah and Klaus were walking around the quarter discussing Genevieve proposal Elijah was against giving the witch any concessions and Klaus was disagreeing with him , " Oh , don't be such a stiff , Elijah . The tourists love a good festival . Besides , what better way to cement the solidarity than a show of faith toward a onetime enemy ? " . Klaus argued nonchalantly .
" A onetime enemy who had conspired with Celeste to end us and who may I add has tried to kill your daughter " . Elijah reminded him with frown .
Klaus gave him a side look before he sat on one of the outdoor table's and gestured to his brother to do the same , " Well , who will payback for that one way or another . but for now all eyes are on us we can't have the stamp of tyrant on us yet , give them what they want . Kol will make sure that Davina outstrip everyone of them and if they dare to make any unsavory move ... " .
" it will give us the leeway to put them in their place or even exterminate them , good thinking brother " . Elijah finished with a smirk that his brother returned .
As the two sat there enjoying there coffee Elijah asked him curiously , " Hayley went to the Bayou alone !? " .
" she insisted on ut and I couldn't stop her , don't worry Elijah she is a werewolf royalty she is safe there and no one will be stupid enough to attack her there her pack will protect her , but let's focus on the Witch's more I know that they will never abide by the treaty " . Klaus suggested to his brother who nodded with a sigh .
THE BAYOU :
Hayley arrived at the Bayou and was received immediately by Jackson who smiled once she got off the SUV , " hey , I didn't expect you here today " . he Greeted her Happily .
" should I go back then ? " . she asked him teasingly and he sent her a mock glare before assuring her in , " please , this is your home , always " . he said earnestly . " I just thought that we won't see you for a few days after your fight with oliver " . he confessed sheepishly .
" I didn't let hotblooded wolves dedicate how I live or how I lead my pack , but to be honest I'm still angry and disappointed in you all . I feel like a stranger who is being kept at Arm length " . she retorted calmly as the two made their way to the largest house which is being equipped by the Kenner's and the elders .
Jackson halted on his step and she did the same facing him , he looked in her eyes for a few seconds before annunciating each word seriously , " I want you to know that I will never treat you as anything but an integral part of this pack and not only because you are a labonair the core line in this pack , but because since your return to us you have been the Queen we always wanted and needed , you Andrea had changed our people lives in ways that were only possible in dreams . you came and brought with you hope and Allies and help and even thought you live on that luxurious mansion in the quarter you still come here whenever you can and treat everyone with respect and kindness " .
Hayley shoke her head at him and returned sincerely , " how else should I treat my family ? , and that mansion is not mine as much as the Mikaeslons treat me as family that house is Klaus's . look Jackson I had looked for any ties any blood relation's the majority of my life and unless you don't want me here I will keep coming and keep helping you all as much as I can " .
Jackson beamed at her and nodded to the house , " then we expect you here always " . he said cheekily .
"Oh you will get tired of me soon , I plan to convince Klaus to let me stay here for a few weeks " . she told him Happily .
Jackson raised his brows at her in interest and disbelieve , " do you really think he will agree ? , that family hoard you away like dragons hording their gold " . he asked curiously .
" First Klaus is not the boss of me neither is his family , but this child she means so much to them and they are protective of us what with the Witch's hell Bent on killing us off . but I will ask just to take off the fire of him or he would think that you are turning me on them and trying to steal me away " . she joked amusedly .
Jackson laughed as he returned , " and what if I'm !? " . he asked flirtatiously .
Hayley gave him a small smile , " I will advice you not too , Klaus and his family aside . everyone I date seriously always end up dead and I like you to much to wish that on you " . she tried to turn him down gently afraid to pull him back to the same end as before she wished for him to live on marry and give Mary great grandchildren to spoil like she did Hope .
Before he can speak back they reached the house where Mary and Eve where sitting with Lillian on the porch drinking tea they called for her when they saw her with Jackson , " Andrea , come join us " . Lillian beckoned her enthusiastically .
She smiled and greeted them as she and Jackson sat with them , " hey , how are things now that the entire pack is back with us ? " . she asked them as Clarisse passed her a mug filled with herbal tea .
" busy " . Clarisse complained with a groan .
Mary smiled at her amusedly as she clarified , " Clarisse was busy helping the freed wolves find accommodations and Clothes she hardly had a minute to Herself " .
She winced in sympathy as she nodded in understanding , " why not return to your houses in the quarter , I can have some people check them , see what need repairing or fixing ? " . she suggested helpfully .
The wolves exchanged hesitant but Hopeful looks , " so we really can return home !! , I didn't want to get my Hope's up ... " . Lillian marveled as she bite her lips .
" you definitely can , I suggest you return as soon as possible try to get yourselves back on the city before the Witch's or vampires do something to undermine us again " . Hayley ordered and they nodded in understanding .
" I thought Klaus Mikaelson control the vampires ? " . Mary asked her curiously .
" I wish , but none of this vampires are one turned and taught by them everyone loyal to them was massacred a century ago , what we have now are the one turned by Marcel who lived Decades oppressing us they won't accept us as equal easily . Klaus still expect one more rebellion from them especially after yesterday " . Hayley informed them and they shared astonished but understanding looks and nods .
" what would he do if they rebel against him ? " . Jackson asked her with intrigue .
Hayley mind went back to the massacre left behind after Hope birth by Elijah and Klaus as they what term did Elijah use again , " then the Mikaelson will clean house , kill whoever need to be killed , banish whoever need to be banished and call in their armies of very old very loyal vampires " . she answered calmly and eve gasped , clarisse and Lillian gaped and Jackson jaw dropped in astonishment only Mary nodded in satisfaction .
" I Remember my father and grandfather telling me stories about the Mikaelsons he said that even thought they have thousands of retainer's and sireling's turned and loyal to them alone they prefer to Handle things personally , would they be trouble for us ? " . she asked her curiously .
" no , Elijah assured me that they want nothing but to have a place to stay lawkey
For a few decades , they had lived by their family rules they will not attack unless provoked but they are very old very trained vampires their inner circle to be specific . chosen perfectly and even one of them will not be easy to subdue " . Hayley answered her making sure to emphasis who important to never provoke them , at their wary nod she shifted her gaze to the milling new wolves in the camp .
" Who are the new wolves ? , I could have swear we aren't over a thousand wolves " . Hayley asked them curiously .
" oh , we are not those are new wolves staying here " . Eve answered her with nod to them . " they are here for the Baby " . she informed with a nod to her pump .
At her words she looked around the crowded encampment and cried out in shock , " You've gotta be kidding me . Seriously , what is going on ? Who are all these people ? Why are they standing out here all weird and lurk-y ? " . not even in the past were they this many or is she being mistaken .
" They've come from all over , All the packs " . Eve shared excitedly .
Even thought she remembered that happening before she was no less freaked out then the last time , she put a protective hand on her womb paling a little as she whispered , " Why ? To see a baby that isn't even born yet ? , isn't that just ludicrous to put do much importance in a child " .
No matter how proud she was if hope and how unique she is she hayed the expectations that was always put on her whether it was to do great things or bring doom on however .
Oliver who just came out from inside the house quibbed sarcastically , " Forget the baby . These freaks , they come here to see you . You know , given the place your parents held in pack hierarchy , maybe they think you're gonna be the long lost werewolf messiah or something " .
She glared up at him and he raised his hands up in apology , she looked back at the wolves watching her before a thought came to her she left the tables with the others following her curiously as she went on to talk with the small group of gathered individuals she remembered from her time as the alpha's of those pack's .
She approached and cleared her throats gaining their attention before she addressed them politely , " excuse me , sorry for interrupting you but i heard you are here to see me , can I ask if you were contact by your ancestors recently ? " .
One of the alpha's she knew closely for he lived a state or two from new Orleans with his pack , Frederic Allen with Brown hair cut neatly near his scalp and brown intense eyes tamed skin and muscled body smiled at her welcomingly , " you must be Andrea labonair , yes we heard about you from both our ancestors and the supernatural grapevine , you and your Baby are the most talked about topic right now " . he said smilingly as he extended his hand for her to shake respectively she did before extending her own hands to do the same .
" Adam Danvers , Alpha of west Atlanta pack " . the wolf introduced himself as he shoke her hand this one was slightly shorter blonde man with blue eyes and easy smile she was only familiar with from his good reputation .
" Andrea labonair , Nice to meet you and welcome to our territory " . she greeted him politely , before turning her attention to the six other alpha's trying to place their faces and names , her communications with other packs were done through phone calls and proxies due to the distance and wolves rules if keeping away from each other homes .
The one beside Adam was brunette woman with green eyes and slim built she was in her thirties and have a stern air to her she knew her by reputation too , alpha Valerie Osborne she was well respected alpha who took after her brother and hold her pack in iron fist .
" Valerie Osborne , sorry for the inconvenience " . she greeted her calmly and she smiled at her kindly , " please no , you and your people are welcome here , it's no inconvenience at all " . Hayley returned easily before turning to the man to her right .
Alpha Jeremy Blake was dour man with aging features of grey hair and wrinkles but his blue eyes were sharp and his posture strong and commanding , he was a highly respected man who is known to be honorable but ruthless when it call for it . " Alpha Blake , how have you been ? " . she greeted him with a smile that he returned .
" Marshall my home girl , if I knew that you were A labonair I would have stuck you with my grandson before you left my pack " . he teased her fondly .
She giggled as she hugged him and he returned she draw back and asked him curiously , " please like you could have pinned that sloth on me , How is Derek still struggling to get Samuel off his bed ? " .
" I will have you know that Samuel is married now and it's the responsibility of his wife to get him off his bed , and let me tell you whatever you did to make him and Juliet see reason I'm extending my entire pack gratitude " . he replied with a laugh .
" no need to thank me I lost my patients with their Pickering and the sexual tension between the two and just slapped some sense into the two , literally " . she answered seriously and he guffawed mirthfully .
He waved to the other woman beside him who stepped up to shake her hand , the woman was fairly tall with light blonde hair and brown eyes and easy smile . " Sara McNair , you are younger than I expected " . she marveled curiously . " How do you know alpha Blake ? . She asked her curiously .
" nice to meet you , and I'm not much younger than you " . she greeted her politely before waving at Jeremy , " I was a part of his pack for a few month's he and his people were very kind to me " . she said with a smile .
" you were good to us too , knocked my grandkids off There's high Horse's and set them straight , I never respected a woman more than when you broke my Derek nose and Jaw before knocking him out " . Jeremy elaborated with a part to her shoulder , " never seen a better fighter than this one " . he said proudly .
" you taught me a lot of tricks " . she Reminded him with a grin .
" and you went on and made me proud every fight you won " . he returned with a hearty laugh .
The one beside Sara another young alpha with roguish smile and red haired introduced himself confidently , " alpha Carson Howard , let me tell you . you are more beautiful than I expected , I can easily say that my elders marriage nagging are half tolerable from your face alone " . he said kissing her hand flirtatiously .
" good to meet you , please rely to your elders that I'm more concerned with my pack internal affairs to contemplate any marriage alliances as of now , not until my daughter is born in the least " . she replied calmly giving him a pointed look to his credit he nodded and backed off with an easy smile .
The alpha beside him was old , older than even Jeremy he has white receding hair and soft grey eyes she would never mistake him alpha Reginald Clark the oldest alpha on the us will aside from Klaus but that was different matter entirely .
" alpha Clark welcome to our territory , I'm surprised you made this journey " . she greeted him respectively and he smiled kindly at her .
" thank you , young miss labonair . I look forward to my stay here , it may have been a tiring journey but if what the ancestors told me about you and your child is true then it's worth the troubles " . he returned softly her brows raised in wariness but she didn't press him for details .
The last alpha was a young man around Jackson age he has a silent aura around him he nodded to her and greeted quietly , " Edgar Thompson , excuse us for encroaching without permission " .
" nice to meet you , as long as you keep to the rules and agreements between our packs you and your pack are welcome in our home " . she replied kindly before looking between the gathered Alphas questionly .
" did Jackson extend the guest rights to you yet ? " . she asked them calmly , behind her Jackson face palmed and she sent him a scandalized look and he gave her sheepish smile .
She turned to the waiting alpha's who were watching them intently and smiled politely at them , " please excuse his foresight he spent years trapped as a Wolf he is still getting back his bearing as an alpha , let me remedy that for him and extend our hospitality to you and yours , our homes are open to you our territory is a safe harbor to you as long as you are here in peace , our food is yours so is our shelters let's make the best of this gathering " . she declared seriously .
" we thank you for your generosity and promise you peace and our packs gratitude in return " . alpha Clark replied appropriately followed by the others .
" why don't we move inside , I think we have a lot to discuss " . Mary invited them calmly and everyone moved back to the house except for eve , Clarisse and Lillian who returned back to their chores .
The French quarter :
The Garden :
Marcel garden was ominously silent As a vampire handed another a blood bag , the other vampire Thierry took it and tore into it draining it before throwing it away with the rest .
" how is Marcel ? " . Thierry asked the other vampire hoarsely .
" he is busy playing house and being Klaus obedient son " . the other vampire answered him with a growl , " he is even playing nice with the wolf bitch " . he informed him and Thierry attention went to him immediately .
" if Marcel had given up I won't , that bastard had killed Kate and framed me , I will make him pay I just need the right opportunity " . Thierry Growled angrily .
The vampire hesitated before he informed him , " there is festival held tonight , the witch are celebrating it's one of their creepy traditions I heard that the Mikaelsons will be there and so will be the wolves " .
" as long as Klaus and Elijah are there I can't touch the girl , I'm no match to them " . Thierry turned him down with a wave before his eyes lit up , " unless I created a distraction just like the trick he pulled on me " . he whispered to himself softly .
He turned to the other vampire and orders him , " tell the others to prepare for the attack , I will kill the wolf girl you should take care of the Harvest girls but leave Davina alone she did help us after all " .
The vampire nodded in understanding , " that will cripple the wolves and witch's , Klaus will be easy to take down when he is mourning his child " . he hesitated again before supplying , " there are only nine of us including you everyone else us like Marcel and Diego to enthralled by the Mikaelsons to care " .
" with the right distraction and chaos that will be more than enough , get Ready " . Thierry ordered him and the other speed off with a nod .
Thierry looked at the abattoir that was a few houses away and smiled grimly to himself .
LYCÉE :
The French Quarter coven has convened in the lycée's greenhouse for a meeting about Genevieve fate , they gathered under the urged of Monique Deveraux .
Genevieve sneered down at the younger girl and demanded coolly " And who put you in charge ? " .
Monique gave her an apathetic look before answering firmly , " I communed with the ancestors , They said it's time for you to sacrifice yourself " .
Genevieve eyes darkened and she shoot the witch a distasteful look before turning to her coven and addressing them calmly , " Of course , It will be an honor to fulfill my duty to our coven, But it's not quite my time yet " . she stated firmly , it will never be her time yet , she will not return to the ancestors plane without a fight .
Monique glared at her before hissing angrily , " The ancestors were very clear , We need for you to die so our community can have the full power of the Harvest " .
Genevieve rolled her eyes at her she had had enough with Monique and her sycophantic worship of the ancestors and self importance , she smirked at her and warned softly , " Careful , Monique . Not so long ago , I was one of those ancestors . A spirit forced to watch as little by little , witches surrendered everything to vampires . We may no longer live under Marcel's thumb , but I for one don't particularlyenjoyanswering to the Mikaelson's , either . Before I take my leave , I'd like to ensure that you have the power to control your own fate . The Mikaelsons' mother Esther was a powerful witch . Her spell book contains enchantments that we can use to our own ends . I can steal it for our coven and we'll never be held in subjugation again. You'll have your sacrifice . But , I have things to do before I die " .
.with those finale words and seeing the approval of the other Witch's she turned and left the greenhouse , so the ancestors want to get ride of her ? , or was it Monique who wanted to seek her position ? . either way she won't make it easy for them , no she will not be robbed of her live again .
VAMPIRE TERRITORY / HUMAN TERRITORY / WEREWOLF TERRITORY
Elijah and Klaus met with Marcel , Diego and the rest of the the Vampire Faction about the Feast of Blessings .
" You want us to go to a witch event on bended knee and give them a gift ? I'm sorry , but I just remembered . We're busy doing just about anything else that night " . Diego said with a scoff , murmurs of discontent broke out from the other vampires all expressing their protests to join in anything related to witch's .
" Diego , this isn't a request . Your name is on that treaty . Now, if you have any difficulty whatsoever with your newfound position , I'd be more than willing to remove you " . Elijah threatened him calmly .
" I never thought I'd see the day . Vampires bowing down to witches , Marcel say something ? " . Diego argued his friend .
Marcel who was leaning on bar beside Klaus put down his glass and pointed between the two Mikaelson's Brother's demanded with a smirk , " out with it , what are you two planning ? " .
" why do you think we have anything planned , Marcellus ? " . Klaus asked him amusedly as he too put down his glass of Bourbon .
" because I fucking know you two " . Marcel replied easily a smirk stretching his lips .
Diego and the other vampires were watching them with obvious interest , Elijah took out his phone and left the room obviously leaving the conversation to his brother , " congratulations you are right on your assumption , we do have something planned " . Klaus confessed easily .
Marcel waved his hand impatiently for him to continue and he did , " Witch's gain sympathy from the other factions for being needlessly and unreasonably oppressed by you , under our leader ship we are giving them freedom and Leeway's that show that we are willing to work and treat them with civility , now you know the current leader's of Witch's more than I do , so tell me Marcellus are they type who gain an inch and go for mile ? " . Klaus asked him wickedly .
Marcel returned his wicked smile as he answered him softly , " they are the type to take over the entire the play field " .
" you expect them to break the treaty , no you want them to break the treaty first !! " . Diego stated with a tone of enlightenment .
" no ancestral witch can keep her talons out of other people possessions and power , they will break the treaty first , and then you will have your opportunity as long as you keep the bloodshed to minimum " . Klaus promised them , and anticipatory smiles broke over everyone face .
Klaus took out his phone and read the message that Hayley had sent him , " Genevieve is coming after Esther journals , Thierry is attacking the festival tonight " .
He would just have to Kill two birds with one stone then .
The Bayou :
Hayley had a light lunch with the alphas accompanied by the Kenner's and the elders of her pack after finishing all formalities and deciding on another lunch date to talk business and share information and decide on a proper division of camp's , she was having a serious talk with Mary , Jackson and oliver as they discussed the idea of attending tonight festival and as usual oliver was completely opposed to it .
" The witches are the ones that cursed our pack . so I see No need for us to go and play nice with them " . Oliver objected vehemently .
" we need to go , there are is a major conspiracy playing there . if we want to stay on top of things we need to play the game " . Hayley reasoned calmly .
" Hayley has a point " . Mary stated firmly , " you will go with her and observe the event we will not be blindsided by Witch's again " . she ordered Jackson and Oliver who nodded obediently .
" I need to go and check on Davina , she is forced to participate on the celebration as one of the harvest Witch's I need to make sure she will be alright , I will meet with you there " . she informed the two Kenner's who smiled gently and nodded in understanding .
Jackson escorted her to her car she waved at him before driving back to the compound , she entered the compound to the sight of Rebekah and Bonnie pouring over tombs with Finn and Kol , Davina was sitting on the high armchair watching them with amusement that didn't lessen the paleness of her face .
" I'm back " . she announced as she took a seat on the overrun Table , " what can I do to help ? " . she asked them softly .
" he put away mother Grimoires on that box over there " . Finn order with a wave to the old but still pristine chest .
" the chest was spelled by Ayana Bennett , it protect the Grimoire from being touched without having ester blood no one but her descendants can open it " . Kol explained to her and she nodded in understanding .
" how about you Davina are you ready for tonight !? " . she asked the young witch as she took the three Grimoires that bonnie handed her and put it on the chest .
Davina smiled at her and shared a look with the smirking Kol , " I'm more than Ready , Kol and Bonnie have been coaching me on hex's if I need to us them against the other two girl's " . she said with sigh .
Hayley looked at Bonnie who smiled and shrugged , " they were the first thing I focused on , to counter vampires and other unsavory individuals " . she confessed easily , Finn smiled at her words and Rebekah too let out a tiny smile .
" what about the blessing ? , what are you going to do ? " . Hayley asked her curiously if she will do that beautiful firework show again .

" no he didn't " . Thierry denied easily .
" who got you out ? , more importantly I need to get you back there man . sorry vacation time is over " . Diego stated as he pulled him up and guided him to the doors .

" You can't just start a revolution , all on your own , from exile across the river . I mean , like it or not , The Mikaelson's Reign is the new reality " . Diego scoffed at him .
" isn't it the Mikaelson's who got you bowing down to witches , How long until you're kow-towing to their darling shewolf and her dog's ?" . Thierry sneered at him .
" hey , leave the Girl out of it the she is kind and opened minded in her interactions with us " . Diego said warningly , he had a good impression of Andrea labonair even with her being one of the Bayou wolves .
" look man , I understand your point but things are going good for us we had months of peace after the treaty , the Witch's are forced to toe the line and we got to live our lives for us not spend it policing them say whatever you want about the Mikaelson's , but with them no one will cross us " . Diego reasoned with his friend calmly .

Klaus POV :
Klaus paced Hayley's Room as he tried to convince her to stay on the compound .
" be sensible Hayley , why would you put yourself in unnecessary danger ? " . he asked her impatiently .
Hayley who was busy fitting on her black laced long sleeved round neckline a line dress , answered calmly . " I'm not putting myself in danger needlessly Klaus , I will never do that to Hope . but I promised to meet the wolves there they didn't want to come I was the one who forced them too " .
" then call them and let them return " . he brushed off easily .
" I can't " . Hayley stated firmly as she left her changing room and made her way to Klaus she gave him her back and gestured for him to help her with the zipper , he sighed and did so slowly admiring and feasting on the her flawless skin and her arched back and the graceful dip of her neck .
Once he was done she turned to face him and stated gently , " Look Klaus , I either go out with you and your siblings or stay here , alone at home with only the few staff we have and be alone when the Witch's sneak in " .
He narrowed his eyes on her and pierced his lips weighing his options , " fine , but you would stick to your wolves all evening " . he demanded and she nodded in agreement .
She fixed his collar and promised easily , " I will keep on your family line all evening , promise " . he huffed in defeat but has to bite back a smile when she she planted a soft grateful kiss on his cheek .
" you cheeky minx " . he huffed in playfully anger .
The mug smile she sent him was both dazzling and adorable .
" I just need to finish my hair and make-up give me twenty and I will be down with you " . she promised before walking gracefully to the vanity .
He hummed in agreement and went to the first floor living room where a Dressed and ready Bonnie was waiting for them , the witch went with green fit and flare dress that matched her eyes with her hair in a French braid , she and Finn were going through an album of pictures that belong to their stay here a century ago .
" where is Davina ? " . he asked the two Curiously .
" Marcel is taking her to the Lafayette cemetery where the witch marsh will start " . Bonnie answers him casually .
He nodded in understanding and gestured for Rebekah who joined them dressed implacably as always . " I had a spot reserved especially for the two of you and Elijah , the witch protection fall for the two of you , keep your eyes open . when Elijah message you take her and Hayley back home " . he instructed Rebekah who nodded in understanding .
" what about Davina ? " . Rebekah asked curiously .
" Marcel will stay close to her and bring her home immediately , he won't let the Witch's speak to her " . Klaus informed them and they let out a sigh of relief .
Rebekah checked out Bonnie's outfit before she nodded and smiled in satisfaction , " You look well put Together , at least I won't be ashamed to be seen with you " . she complemented her in a round about way .
Bonnie who after four months of leaving under the same roof as His siblings just smiled and rolled her eyes at her antics , beside her Finn sighed in fond exasperation that he nearly followed him on .
Later once Hayley joined them after securing her hair in artistic ponytail and her simple makeup made her more stunning .
When they left the compound , Night had already fell on the Quarter and the Feast of Blessings parade had began . The witches were marching down the street , and the three currently alive Harvest girls were hoisted above the crowd on thrones . The girls were each dressed for the element they represented in the Harvest ... Monique in floral earth tones , for earth Abigail in white , for air .
In the last throne was Davina outshining her two companion in red dressed Red Lace Cap Sleeves long A-line with halter neck with half open back , her hair was styled by Rebekah in a half up half down style with ruby encrusted flower hair clasps and soft makeup , representing fire element .
When she passed them she waved enthusiastically at the them all , Bonnie and Rebekah returned her wace with equal enthusiasm .
Hayley waved at her from where she was standing with her Brethren's who came here in a small group he nodded at Jackson in greeting and he nodded back respectively .
Genevieve who was dressed up watched the three anxiously from the sidelines , once she spotted all the Mikaelson's here including Hayley and Marcel she turned to the witch standing beside her , " It's time . the Mikaelson's are all here , which means the compound will be empty , You know what to do " .
Genevieve watched him sneak away until he disappeared on the crowd , before joining the Harvest girls on stage to greet the crowd .
" Now , in accordance with theFête des Bénédictions , the witches of New Orleans bless you all ! " . she announced grandly and smiled when The crowd cheered , she stepped offstage .
Monique was the first to step forward , she extended her hand out palm up and with a smile she created a mild earthquake that rumbled the ground below them , the crowed murmured in shock and awe as they looked at the Witch's with wonder and some with anticipation .
Then Abigail stepped forward and raises her arms and created a very strong wind that blow around the crowd of tourists stilled in clear fear and apprehension watching the girls in disbelieve , Abigail moved to the side letting Davina take the center stage , the two gave her challenging smirks .
Davina smiled at the crowed before taking the center stage and raising her balms up in a cupping gesture igniting a small fire ball in her hands , the crowed gasped in awe , beside her the two harvest girls shared a small mean giggle .
The fire ball in Davina's hair got bigger and bigger until it Brusted into small fire butterflies that flow around the crowed who eat it up , with another wave of her hands the butterflies gathered into a large fire dragon that went on to sets off dozens of fireworks in the sky , which made the crowd cheer again .
Davina smiled and waved at the crowed before raising her chin at the two other and smiled in clear derision , the two sent her poisonous glares .

The witch Genevieve sent has entered the compound , and began looking around the courtyard trying to sneak inside . After a moment , he finds Esther's Grimoire laying on the table in the foyer, and reaches for it .
Finn who was standing up on the stair's and watching him with clear amusement waved at James and Kate , " A little too easy , isn't it ? I've been expecting you .you're a little late " . he quibbed as Kate and James apprehend the witch and dragged him to the dungeon .

I lost my mother , my aunt . Davina has done nothing but stand against us , yet , she is as powerful as ever " . Monique complained with an angry frown .
Genevieve nodded and looked at Davina who was talking with Marcel and Rebekah and some other girl , her eyes narrowed at Monique's reminder , " She just needs a little lesson . If there's one thing I'm good at , it's putting people in their place , wait and watch how I will sort her out " . she whispered conspiratorially to Monique who beamed happily .

Before they can hide all of the drummers took out straight razors and sliced their wrists open , bleeding all over the floor . The vampires in the room started to get antsy and lose control at the smell of blood from the vein .
" Control yourselves. This is a vulgar trick " . Elijah roared as he and Klaus tried to make their way to Hayley , "We do not violate our agreement " . he ordered the vampires who tried to resist .
