Hello Readers, I would like to thank the Guests and SeleneAlice for the reviews and everyone who have followed and favorite.
To answer one of the Guest's questions of the show... Yes I'm enjoying the interesting mystery behind the blue light as well as the connections it has to New Orleans and Vincent. Also loved the Originals interactions together especially the Rebekah and Kol scenes. Only thing I haven't really like from the show is the unnecessary romance focusing around Elijah and Hayley, I don't like how it takes away the focus on the Original siblings. Other than that the show has been really interesting with the new spin on the show.
Here's the next chapter, some events are different from the show and there will be more family interactions! Hope you all enjoy!
Klaus sneers seeing the little girl talking to the boy, this is the witch Marcel was so bent on keeping her a secret. This little girl is so powerful and is being used for it an exchange of protection. Klaus tried to shake off the feeling of seeing this young witch and it reminds him of his Marie. Klaus had to admit they have similarities, a free spirit and the longing to be accepted – Marie searched that belonging to witches and humans since she never felt connected to other vampires. Klaus remembered Marie being so isolated, isolating herself from him in fear he would not accept her in not being a normal vampire but Klaus called her unique he never wanted her to feel like an abomination.
Davina wasn't Marie and Klaus needed to remember that, Davina is a threat and he needed her on his side not Marcel's. Klaus walked in on the couple's moment, "How cute. Timothy I need to talk to Davina one on one how about you sit in the last pew and count to a thousand." Klaus compelled the boy.
Davina watched in horror as the boy walked away leaving her with the Hybrid.
"Please don't hurt him." Davina responded she just found Tim again she would hate for her being the reason he gets hurt.
Klaus narrowed his eyes the plea sounded too familiar blasted witch is reminding me too much of Marie. "That is all up to you love, I'm just here to talk."
"We have nothing to talk about." Davina replied frowning angrily.
"Of course, we do. We have to talk about which side would better you as well as the people you care about." Klaus responded glancing at Tim slightly.
Davina glares, "I am on my own side. I hate the witches and Marcel is helping to keep me safe."
"I can keep you safe love, better then Marcel, I am an Original no one is going to dare go against me." Klaus responded smirking at her slightly.
"You seem so sure." Davina remarked narrowing her eyes, she heard about Klaus many people despise him for the heinous acts he inflicted on others. With that many enemies there will be no end of conflict.
Klaus smirked, "Ok I made some enemies along the way I'm a thousand years old love, I bet you have enemies too, an innocent girl shouldn't be hiding away unless she is afraid of something."
Davina narrowed her eyes in consideration, "Marcel keeps me safe, he is my friend –."
Klaus adds, "You shouldn't be locked up without any freedom, without the freedom to use your magic willingly. You see I feel there is a war between the witches and the vampires, and what better friend to have than me? I would keep you safe like if you were a daughter, and allow you to have your freedom."
Klaus noticed he was slightly losing Davina he goes on, "Marcel still hasn't allowed you your freedom yet." Klaus walks towards Tim peering at Davina again, "Can Marcel protect the people you care about?"
Davina scowls narrowing her eyes, "If anyone hurts people I care about I will kill them."
Klaus's smirk grew, "Seems like you don't need Marcel after all if you can take care of yourself and others. Guess you knew the power you had all along to be that capable, Marcel manipulates you to do his bidding." Klaus can see the flash of hurt and anger in the girl's eyes. "While Marcel shelters you, young Timothy moves on with his life –."
Klaus flinches feeling pain rushing through his bones… he stepped too far. Davina glared at him, "Stop."
Klaus gritted his teeth, she was strong but not the strongest he had felt. Klaus flashed towards Tim glaring at Davina, "Such a shame there are always casualties in war. Now do you really want young Timothy to have a short life? Look, I really don't want to break a promise, but you are pushing my patience." Klaus tries to avoid confrontation with Marie, and he promised her he wouldn't kill an innocent person unless he had no choice – he gives people chances to stand down before he kills them he gave the Mystic Falls brats chances and they failed to leave him and his family be so he eliminated the lot.
Davina was panicking, "Don't hurt him."
Klaus smirked slightly making his eyes turn gold, "That all depends on you love." He needed Davina on his side, having a powerful witch is always useful. She just needed a little push to convince herself she is stronger then she really thinks and she didn't need Marcel anymore – that little doubt in her mind would have her open for other alliances.
"Let him go now!" Davina ordered snapping his legs with a flick of her hand. Klaus growled through his teeth still holding Tim as his leverage.
"I don't take orders lightly." Klaus growls smirking at her challenging for her worse. "Come on, be loyal to me or Timothy dies." Klaus trailed off noticing the candles flickering alive around them Klaus stared as the girl conjured the magic around her he could feel it radiating over her.
"NO!" Davina screams thrusting magic so violently the windows shattered and the floor shook flinging him yards away into a wall.
Klaus walked into the house after a somewhat successful talk with Davina, he placed that little seed of doubt in her head of Marcel and he hopes it was enough for her to branch out with alliances.
"So how was that chat?" Klaus turned on the lights seeing Marie laying on the couch staring up at the ceiling.
"Fine, I'm sure if she is like any other teenager she going to be even more difficult for Marcel." Klaus remarks sitting on the couch by her feet.
"You must have really pissed her off to get her to release so much power, I felt it from the festival." Marie responded yawning at the end.
"I'm surprise you can feel it." Klaus mused.
"Any witch can feel a powerful spell if they are close enough. I talked to her a little at the festival she seems like a girl who is afraid of her own people and just wants to be left alone." Marie replied remember the girl's memories. "Her own people were about to sacrifice her to the ancestors and Marcel saved her."
Klaus narrowed his eyes, "Where did you get this information?"
Marie peered at him, "Well… when a powerful witch has contact with another their magic mixes with one another and it can result memories being shared. It just happens, it hasn't happened to me too often for me to be concerned with having contact with witches."
"This is what I was concerned about. I do not need you to be leverage with getting caught up with these covens –."
"I'm not a child anymore, I know the risks but I haven't really spent any time with the witches and I'm not keen on people using children as sacrifices. So, we are on the same side with some of these witches need to be stopped by their tactics." Marie sat up smiling at him, "Besides I think you can agree that my tactics of persuasion has less confrontations."
Klaus rolled his eyes, "Some people need different methods of persuasion love."
"Fine, but give me a chance with Davina she has so much magic she does not know how to fully control it. I can help gain her trust with teaching her, she has so much potential but no teacher." Marie responds giving him big eyes like she had done when she was a child to get him to give into her.
"Don't start –."
"Please?" Marie sat on his lap hugging him he couldn't help that a smirk escaped his indifferent expression.
"Not a child anymore huh?" Klaus remarked sarcastically looking at her doubtfully.
"Hey I'm frozen in a fifteen-year-old body sometimes my mind acts up." Marie joked but Klaus frowns darkly, he hated getting reminded of his inability to protect his little girl that dreadful night. Marie clutched his hand, "Papa I'm fine, really. I just want to help, it's an impulse I been helping people for centuries and I hate just sitting around waiting."
Klaus sighs, "I know, but my instincts to protect you still haven't changed. No matter what you think and tell yourself, you will always be my little girl."
Marie smiled laughing slightly, "You know I look old enough, it looks to people of you being my brother than a father –."
Klaus raised an eyebrow, "So? I raised you, didn't I? Yes, I look too young to have a child that is your age but what does it matter now?"
"Well I met Cami, and I just sort of miss growing up sometimes – it bothers me sometimes. When I'm with Kol and Rebekah people think we are all the same age, but I still am treated as the child when we are in dangerous situations. Why can't I be treated like how all of you treat one another?" Marie asked just wanting Klaus to know she has experienced everything they all done but she still treated like a child at times. Klaus had let her traveled by herself but whenever she was home with him and an issue comes up Klaus still could not break the habit of treating her as though she was a child that needed protection.
"You think I treat Kol and Rebekah differently then you? Kol is just as childish or more then you, and Rebekah, sure she is mature but she is childish in her ways of loving a man. We only treat you different because we all raised you from the moment we had you in our lives – once a child always a child in the eyes of a parent. I'm sorry if I made you feel unqualified for the job I just want to make sure you are safe – yes I do admit I'm a little overprotective but I'm slowly warming up for you to have a bit more freedom when you are with me."
"Wow did you tell the whole freedom thing to Davina too?" Marie smirked raising her eyebrow.
Klaus laughed, "Yes surprisingly I'm learning that term loosely now."
"Promise you would stop suffocating me?" Marie asked smirking at him adding, "How would you like it if someone told you you couldn't do what you want to do?"
Klaus noticed what she was getting at, it was true he doesn't like people telling him he can't do something. He winked at her, "I'm doing it now love, I would resist and get on top. I get it, I'm doing exactly what you are doing but to Marcel. Fine I'm not holding you back but I swear anything that results you getting into trouble I am taking you back behind me so I can protect you, understand me?"
Marie smiled at him, "Thank you. See you can have a change of heart just need a little push."
Klaus snorted amusingly she learned a lot of his tactics, "Yes but don't abuse it."
Like clockwork, a paper evaporated in front of Marie fluttering down on her lap, "Guess I lost the bet with Kol." Marie sighed shaking her head opening the paper that had a handwritten note.
"What was the bet?" Klaus remarked of course Kol and Marie would be betting on him.
"You pissed off Davina so much she would turn to me. Well thanks for your support in letting me do what I need to do." Marie smirked at him as he rolled his eyes.
"You know I can give you my number if you want to talk. But I have to admit haven't been sent a letter through evaporation in a long time." Marie replies smirking slightly following the address Davina sent her to an old abandoned church.
"I just needed to talk to someone that doesn't want something from me. You want to help me, I'm not sure why but at least you want to help me first rather wanting something more out of me." Davina responded as she let Marie inside the attic.
"For centuries, I helped witches, either it is to learn from them and or I teach them, protect them from war and enemies. Many covens call me the Guardian, I side myself where I feel innocent people need my help from evil people in this world." Marie smiled at Davina adding, "Evil comes from any species, I had helped so many witches fleeing from persecution from humans and vampires. But not every person in a species is evil and not everyone is good – and that knowledge saves lives from ignorant fears."
"Never expected that statement from you." Davina responded uneasily by how a girl that seems to be her own age but her eyes hold wisdom of the truths of the world.
"I get that a lot. Look, I know you aren't a fan of my family or these coven witches but it's all about their perspectives on what they think is just. You see the witches want you dead because they fear of losing their magic – that does not justify killing lives just for power… Sometimes my father is like that, but he is getting better with patience of people who make his life difficult." Marie responded peering at the witch.
"Yeah, I met him, a swell guy." Davina remarked sarcastically sitting on her bed.
Marie laughed, "He can rub people the wrong way on first encounters but he isn't all that bad, no one is really. He has some extreme methods to get the results he wants. So, tell me why you ask to see me? Don't tell me it is because my father pissed you off, he has that effect on people it's just how he is."
Davina looked at the girl in front of her, "I'm just curious of what I am up against. Like you said to understand people is the best way to know you are going to the right place."
Marie sat on a chair leaning back peering at her, "Ok what do you want to know?" Marie asked if Davina wants to know more about her and her family then maybe it can get the girl to see them not as enemies.
"At the festival, what was all that what I saw –."
"That happens when witches contacted another powerful witch. What you saw were memories of my past, sort of what made someone who they are and what they experienced. I'm curious what you saw." Marie responded peering at her as she stood back up walking around the room at the drawing Davina drew they were good.
"I saw red eyes and then wolves running after you." Davina responded Marie nodded she figured that, it was her last day of being human that brought her down to the path she is now. Davina glanced at Marie as she moved into better lighting. Upon her body there were thin silver scars on the back of her legs and thighs Marie peered at her again on her exposed chest more little silver scars sprawled over her skin like webs and on her chest near her heart was a tan birthmark.
"The scars are worse around my stomach." Marie replied noticing the girl staring at her reminders. "I was born the day my family became vampires, the witch that took me ask the spirits to protect me – it came with the price though, I was cursed until death took me back to the spirits since I was not supposed to be born. I survived until I was fifteen years old… I snuck out of the house to meet the boy I was to marry unaware it was the full moon. I was killed by werewolves, my human life destroyed, but my family was fooled because my grandmother cursed me with immortality as well and the moment I died I became a vampire. I feared it because I had seen what vampirism can do to people, but I learned it depends on the person to allow the monster to release and take over. Some vampires allow it to happen and those are the most dangerous." Marie prevented herself to shiver thinking of those red eyes Davina saw in her memories… those eyes belonged to Mikael, he hunted her family down and when she first became a vampire Mikael kidnapped her attempted to kill her to make Klaus suffer more. Marie didn't tell Davina of those eyes she hated thinking about that time as much as the rest of her family – the day she took her last breath as human her family never like the thought of the one time they were not strong or fast enough to save her.
"It must be terrible to be raised by vampires."
"Not too bad, they are a bit overprotective – and with the supernatural strength it really does scare people off. But they raised me right, I didn't become a serial killer or anything." Marie joked and she shrugged, "I honestly didn't mind it, when I was a child I found it amazing when they would run super fast. To me I didn't notice them being different from any other human they acted like any other human but the obvious stuff of course. Although I can tell you the same thing of being raised by witches who want to sacrifice you, I got some flashes of your memories as well."
"We were lied to of what the harvest was, to have us murdered to give the community magic again. They told us we just needed a cut on our palm and we would be in a slumber until the ritual was over, but they were slaughtering us all. All the witches knew except the four harvest girls, I would have died if it wasn't for Marcel. And now I have all the fallen girls' magic and I don't know how to control it." Davina responded almost to a break of tears with reliving the details.
"I heard you all would be resurrected after the ritual?" Marie asked remembering Kol had some knowledge of this myth of a ritual.
Davina shook her head, "I don't know, they lied about how they were killing us. What makes the resurrection true? I don't want to die, they put me in this situation and they have to pay for what they did."
"And that is why I want to help you." Marie responded smiling at the girl. "But first we have to get you in better control of your magic. It gets better with practice and learning from magic." Marie adds, opening up her hands and a grimoire appeared.
"So why did you drag me out in the middle of nowhere?" Kol raised an eyebrow at Rebekah seeing her go into the back of the trunk throwing him a shovel.
"Burying evidence of more dead vampires, they were following me." Rebekah remarked revealing greyed bodies.
Kol narrowed his eyes in annoyance, "You dragged me out here to clean up your bloody mess? This is ridiculous, why can't you compel someone to do it or better yet why not yourself?"
"Sibling bonding, besides you weren't doing anything anyways. "Rebekah smirked as he rolled his eyes.
"Oh please, you want something out of me. Come on what you really want?" Kol scowled.
"I discovered there were wolves in these parts." Rebekah responded simply purposely annoying him more.
"So why would I care? Didn't know you were so interest in them, I never fancied them." Kol remarked watching Rebekah dig the mask grave.
"Remember Nik said Marcel ran the werewolves out in the bayou? I looked around this area and I only heard wolves, no people in sight. So, I brought you here since you traveled around with different witches and I'm wondering if Marcel is able to trap werewolves in their wolf form?"
Kol raised his eye brow, "Interest, and Nik and Elijah put you to scope out werewolves? Bekah follow my advice I would stay out of this and just sit back and let those two ruin the nice quietness –."
"What happen to you, you always want to disturb the peace –."
Kol growled, "I died! And I would like to live a bit with fun before Nik decides to ruin the peace. I'm not going back to that bloody wasteland, I'm staying out of all this I want no part in it. And you forcing me I really don't take it lightly."
Rebekah stared at her brother seeing how threatened he looked, "Kol, there is nothing you need to fear."
Kol snorted, "Please, the White Oak cannot die – not anymore and with Nik forcing more enemies on us it will be a matter of time before they find it. So don't act like you are not worried, I already have died and I am not going back. Now how about you lot leave me alone and I can appreciate the moment of not having enemies."
Rebekah threw the shovel down, "Fine, don't help I was just wondering if there is a spell of some sort. But everyone is doing some part –."
"And it is unnecessary, Nik can't rest until every vampire bow down to him for being one of their creators. My line died the moment that stake pierced my heart, the people I turned many of whom I turned against their will are in peace and I am not going to have Nik's enemies venture away from him and onto us as collateral. Yes, I make some threats to Marcel's vampires but I don't act on them, I warned them to not cross me but what Nik is doing he isn't giving them a warning. His obsession with control and power will come around at us." Kol responded.
"I know you are concerned about all of this but we are all in this together –."
"And that is my curse, to forever have my fate decided already because of the bloody actions of someone else in this family. You want me to help you sister? Well what you are looking at is a powerful curse, it can only be broken by whoever cast it or an excessive amount of magic. There I helped, now I got a date at the bar with a few broads." Kol remarked bowing sarcastically and flashed away from her. Rebekah sighed she didn't know Kol was so fed up with their family. She knew Kol never liked staying together too long but she never thought he actually hated it. Rebekah wondered what happened to Kol on the other side for him to be threatened in going back there.
"When did you start using magic?" Davina ask as she struggled with some of the spells inside Marie's grimoire.
Marie smiled, "I was five, my uncle used to be a student in the elements before vampirism took it from him. Although he couldn't use magic anymore he was still a great teacher." Marie looked back on the memory of Finn who showed her the book for the first time. Finn started out by teaching Marie the different elements of nature and she was a fast learner.
"I wasn't a great student, I was never serious in the magic. I just wanted a normal life and then I was picked for the Harvest." Davina responded she hated the path that was forced upon her, she just wanted to be left alone but she knows her coven hates her and wants to find her.
"I understand a life that was forced on you. It sucks honestly." Marie laugh half-heartedly, "I was a tool for the spirits and my life was already decided on me. Whatever my family or what I have done could have never stopped the fate of my human life."
Davina peered at her, "That is why I like you, you understand how I feel with others wanting something from you. Making you feel like you are not in control of your own life. I am stuck here because the witches are trying to hunt me down to finish the ritual. How do you get pass all of the expectations?"
Marie shrugged, "I learned to let it go, stressing over the inedible never solves anything. I think I can help you, you see I finally allowed the spirits to have me since they needed me to stop another nuisance. Stop hiding from the witches, show them how powerful you can really be – make them hesitant to cause a problem with you."
"Well I like to show everyone that I am not a tool, but a person. I just want all this tension to end." Davina responded she smiled slightly as she was able to complete the spell to bring a flower back to life.
"You can do that. We can stop a war before it even starts. You see my father is one for control and order and he would not like to have people stepping in his way. You can handle the witches by being yourself – not a tool but a powerful witch. I can persuade my father from disturbing the uneasy peace with the vampires and the witches." Marie replies lightly.
"Your father is going to start a war?" Davina asked narrowing her eyes.
Marie shrugged, "If he has to yes, I like peace but my father likes to have power of situations around him. He does not like being told what to do. I would like to have a truce with the witches and the vampires before unneeded events to occur."
"So you came to me and thought I can help keep things in order with Marcel and the witches?" Davina asked setting the book down to glance at the other girl.
"My family came here in hoping for peace and quiet but apparently not everyone is having the same mind set. I don't want any problems with anyone I honestly had a terrible few months and a brick of war I am not settling for it." Marie responded its true, Kol and her wanted to have peace but her father wanted New Orleans under his control before they can think of relaxing.
"Klaus can't hurt Marcel." Davina told her in a mad tone.
Marie nodded, "He isn't planning on it, he just wants to get in the ranks to make sure my family is safe, he isn't taking it lightly having vampires watching our every move. My father wants to feel like an equal not a criminal with the constant spying." Marie avoided saying Klaus was aiming for the crown but it was sort of true that Klaus wanted to have Marcel trust him. Marie added, "The first few days of tension was just the annoyance of being spied on, we like New Orleans everyone seems at peace…but the witches. But we are here to fix that, there are a few extremists that would rather have war then peace – and that is not in everyone's best interest."
Klaus was called by Marcel to have business over a growing problem of disappearing vampires assuming the werewolves are back in town. Klaus remarked looking up at Marcel, "Finally you showed up you dragged me here to this hillbilly bar in the middle of nowhere."
"Sorry I'm waiting for my informant let's get a round while we wait." Marcel sat at the counter next to Klaus grinning at him.
"I have to ask you how did Marie get so powerful?" Marcel smirked at Klaus knowing the Hybrid wasn't fond in revealing secrets especially if it revolved around Marie.
"Why are you so interested in her? I can ask the same with that little witch Davina you hide away." Klaus remarked back playing Marcel's own game.
"I knew you would get interested with Davina, I have to say we are both hiding secret weapons from each other." Marcel took a sip of his drink.
"Marie is not a weapon, I would never use her that way. But I'm not surprise you don't feel the same for Davina, having her at your beckon call." Klaus responded sternly sneering at Marcel seeing he had strike a nerve.
Marcel narrowed his eyes dangerously smirking, "You are never going to get Davina."
Klaus grinned, oh he knew he would not be able to get Davina but Marie always has her ways with witches, "I'm just saying my daughter has interest in Davina, she always enjoy helping little witches getting back on their feet."
Marcel narrowed his eyes, "I got to say it was low of you to get Marie doing your dirty work."
Klaus shook his head, "Marie did that all on her own even with my disapproval. I am never fond of Marie being close with witches, but she always finds a way to disobey me. Don't know if it is a child's instinct to go against a father's wishes."
Marcel laughed slightly becoming relaxed, "I hear you, Davina is like a daughter to me and she has that same mind set as Marie. I don't know how you do it."
"Here is a little advice, stop controlling her – I learned with Marie it would just push her more to the opposite of what you want. I guess Marie just wanted some fun away from me and stumbled upon Davina with the same problems." Klaus remarked trying to ease this new fatherly connection Marcel and Klaus had with dealing with Davina and Marie.
"That is a scary duo, I'm not sure Marie should be around Davina –."
"Marie is an excellent teacher, she saw Davina struggling with holding in the magic she has and decided to help her. But I am not fond of Marie being near Davina, Marie had dealt with enough witch drama." Klaus responded, Marcel was interested to hear more and Klaus was curious of the information Marcel had of the witches and Davina.
"You haven't spoken much of Marie. What happened to her?" Marcel asked.
"I will tell you, while you tell me how you and Davina meet." Klaus made the deal Marcel smirked shaking his hand. Marcel was always curious of what happened the day Marie became a vampire and now he finally had the opportunity to find out.
Kol downed his drink in the day, apparently, all of the fun vampires are nightwalkers making the days slightly more boring. Kol found this little bar again called Rousseau that seemed to be the popular attraction in the day. Cami was not working today, Kol didn't mind he liked the whole idea of not being reminded by Klaus. Kol thought Klaus would let go of having power just this once, but of course not Klaus had to be in control in every situation. Kol enjoyed the warnings, alliances, and deals they used to make – it got them by in the early centuries when they were vampires, but now Klaus wants to have everything and be damned if he didn't succeed. Kol narrowed his eyes he just wanted to live – the flashes of death still appear in his subconscious.
Kol had successfully earned some respect in New Orleans by some of the vampires, the vampires respected strength. Kol enjoyed time with them but they knew who he was and knew not to cross him – it was a healthy effect in living in harmony, everyone knowing their place to not step out of line. He warned the vampires, a fair warning and most respected that the ones that do cross their path and bothered him were never seen again.
"You seem like you need another drink." Kol glanced up slightly seeing a woman behind the counter.
Kol smirked slightly, "Thanks, yeah just looking for a little peace and quiet." Kol never thought he would say he needed peace and quiet he was usually the one who loved the loud rowdy places in the world.
"You came to the wrong place; New Orleans is party central." The woman responded smiling.
Kol chuckled lightly, "Don't get me wrong I love the craziness of it all, just my mood isn't in it today." Kol was still annoyed with Rebekah trying to force him to get involved with the drama Klaus was stirring.
"I can try to help cheer you up." The woman responded Kol smirked darkly looking back at her seductively. The woman returned his look winking at him.
Kol hummed, "That sounds promising." Kol glanced at her slightly sensing the unraveling magic that witches gave off. He narrowed his eyes, "A witch of all things, how lucky am I." Kol remarked grinning cockily.
"My surprise was the same with an Original walking in here." The witch responded.
"What you want?" Kol narrowed his eyes playfully, he kept his slight annoyance of the witch coming to him as if she needed something out of him like everyone else.
"You came to my bar, I'm Sophie by the way." The witch responded giving him another drink.
Kol smirked, "Kol Mikaelson. Sorry for the hostility love I'm usually a gentleman."
"Sure, I get it not in the mood." Sophie smiled at him. If all the stories were true Kol was one of the Originals that liked to be around witches.
"Maybe you can change that." Kol winked at her interested in what the other side have to offer. "I am interested in what you witches do for fun now around here with the magic block and all."
Sophie was taken aback slightly unrepaired by the Original being interested in the witches, "Fun stuff you know running stores for the tourists –."
"And sacrificing young witches I have to add." Kol cut in staring at her she could see the slight menacing glint in his eyes when he smirked after his statement.
"You know about that—."
"Of course darling, I had heard the conspiracies from witches 300 years ago when they were first experimented in ancestral magic. Honestly, I believe this ritual nonsense is like any other human superstition event to please a higher power. I did not know you French Quarter witches became so dependent on your ancestors for power, you all used to be interesting." Kol remarked taking a sip of his drink.
"You think it is fake? Just to slaughter four innocent girls for a superstition? I saw it, it is real. How the magic in this community is connected to the ancestors and to the earth." Sophie pressed causing Kol to raise his eyebrow curiously.
"Really and the whole resurrection bit is real too? Tell me what do the bloody spirits gain with that?" Kol raised his eyebrow looking at the desperate witch doubtfully.
"I don't know maybe the belief of the nonbeliever witches when the whole ritual actually works and have the community strong again." Sophie responded, it had certainly worked on her to believe all of this was true and the girls weren't slaughtered for no reason – but they will be if Davina did not die as well.
"Some risk to try to prove a point love, poor children they did not have a chance." Kol sneered as she became upset as she slammed her fist down to try to hold back the tears that were threatening to fall.
"It was a risk but it was working. The witches just need Davina to finish the ritual and the girls will all be fine –."
"And you are telling this to me because you assume I care…?" Kol raised his eyebrow smugly.
Sophie stared at him raising her arms, "You have been in the company of witches before, you know how valuable alliances are with them."
Kol smirked by the temptations, "Why you think I want to be on a side love? I am fine just laying back and watch everything unravel."
Sophie stood strong narrowing her eyes, "What is going to stop Klaus from putting you in a box after he gets what he wants? I heard whispers of your plots against him back in 1720s with the witches. Do you want to be a sitting duck just waiting for Klaus to back stab you yet again?"
Kol hummed peering at her amusedly, "So you have all my things I left behind then?" Kol remembered the dark objects the witches made for him to allow the thrilling power of magic running through his veins again. Kol always had his guard up with Klaus striking a dagger in his heart, Kol wanted his brother to know how it felt like.
Sophie nods, "I know where to find them."
Kol narrowed his eyes in consideration, "So, I ask again. What do you want from me?"
Sophie glanced at him with hope, "The Harvest needs to be completed I need your help to convince Davina to do it –."
"I don't know the girl darling I don't know how I can help with that –."
"That can be easy, just convince Marie."
Kol narrowed his eyes darkly, the bloody witches knew Marie was in contact with Davina. He replied, "Sorry love but Marie isn't one for sacrificing children."
Sophie glared at him, "Make her, you don't want Marie to have more problems with spirits, do you?"
Kol chuckled his eyes became dangerously dark, "Think it's wise to threaten her in front of me?"
Sophie shook her head, "It is just a warning, the ancestors are not please in Marie teaching Davina. I heard what Marie been through, she does not need to get on the bad side again with other spirits."
No, she does not… Kol thought to himself narrowing his eyes. Of course, the bloody spirits twist their words of leaving Marie be. Now she is facing completely different ancestors and she is managing to piss them off…
It was a nice little chat Klaus had with Marcel, the little witch seems to have history that is burning to take down the witches. Klaus liked Davina's fire to watch all the witches to fall – he wished Marie was like that when she was a young vampire. Marie always enjoyed helping the witches but he hoped she wasn't as gullible now.
Marcel told him that Davina is the reason the witches were all running around scared. This Harvest was apparently the one thing to help the witches keep their magic. And to Klaus he enjoyed the witches scrambling around to finish it, he had to give it to Marcel and Davina they can really make a statement.
Klaus peered up as the door opened Kol walked into the house slightly on edged. Klaus noticed his brother freeze feeling eyes on him. Kol smirked hiding his previous unsettling manner, "Waiting for me to come back? What am I a little girl who passed her curfew?"
Klaus rolled his eyes at Kol's sarcasm, "No brother, I just wanted a little chat –."
"Oh? Seems like everyone wants to talk to me today. I didn't know I was so popular." Kol remarked sneering at Klaus as the Hybrid sighed in annoyance.
"I'm curious who else spoke to you." Klaus responded curiously, Klaus unfortunately had to hear about Kol's inability to be helpful to an annoyed Rebekah.
Kol seemed to get furious Klaus raised his eyebrow seeing Kol's eyes seem to darken with rage but his face seemed calm, "I didn't know I was being interrogated. Am I not allowed to be sociable? So, I have the inability to walk around peacefully? You are making a great start at being a likable ruler."
Klaus stood up walking towards his brother, "Kol I'm doing this for all of us."
Kol laughed, "Please, stop telling that to yourself. It is all about the bloody power, you cannot stand being told what to do. I am surprised how much father has damaged you to become so obsessed to be better then everyone. Pathetic honestly."
Klaus roared punching Kol in the temple. Kol chuckled manically as he was able to get under Klaus's skin. Kol pushed him away spatting, "I don't want to be a part of your game, if you dare try to force me I will make sure you would not misunderstand again."
Klaus thrust his hand down Kol grabbed his arm snarling when he noticed the bloody dagger. Klaus smirked seeing the slight flash of panic in Kol's eyes, "You forgot Marie is my daughter – I know her hiding places."
Kol growled, "I'm not going down that easily." Kol kicked Klaus hard in the groin then head budded Klaus which made him stumble back.
Klaus narrowed his gold eyes, "You put this on yourself brother."
Kol laughed slightly punching Klaus in the side of the head, "That right? To disagree with your plot?" Kol kneed him in the face before Klaus could react.
Klaus roared flashing into Kol head butting him in the gut making the both of them to fly across the hallway. Klaus thrust the dagger down, Kol gasp forcing all his power on Klaus's arm to stop the dagger.
Klaus growled, "I am not letting you ruin all of this."
Kol spat, "Trust me, your downfall will be your own doing." Klaus growled at the threat forcing his hands down more it scrapes Kol's shirt.
Klaus's body froze feeling magic surrounding him, he grunted when he was forced back against the wall. Klaus narrowed his eye as Kol gasped heavy breaths they both peered at the doorway seeing Marie.
Marie held out her hand keeping Klaus and Kol at bay, her body slowly start to get black veins sprawling onto her skin as the amount of magic it took to hold the two back from hurting each other.
"What's going on?" Marie asked she narrowed her eyes seeing the dagger on the floor. She lowered her hand breaking the magic just after she moved the dagger away from the two.
"Oh, you know the same dagger threats of not following Nik's agendas." Kol remarked sitting up he landed a quick punch to Klaus before Klaus or Marie could react.
Klaus growled, "You are a wild card, you are going to cause problems –."
"Says the one who is planning to create a bloody war." Kol remarked rolling his eyes.
Marie sighed as Klaus barked at Kol, "At least I am not being a bloody coward hiding away."
Kol sneered, "Coward? You are the one that is trying to prove a dead man wrong. I just don't care about your problems in trying to become a king."
"Ok I think we all need some space." Marie butted in grabbing Kol's arm, Kol threw her hand away from him, marching out of the house slamming the door.
Marie looked at Klaus, "Really? Daggering him won't solve anything. Besides controlling him does not work, at least try to understand why he does not want any new enemies. He is trying to be cautious but he feels threatened by your actions."
Klaus narrowed his eyes considering Kol's stand point, "Fine. Go make sure he doesn't kill anyone." When Kol was in a bad mood destruction always follows and Klaus didn't need Kol to make a mess.
"Kol –."
"I don't need babysitting, I'm not in a murderous mood." Kol remarked as Marie found him sitting on the roof. She sat down next to him she noticed he had a bottle of liquor – no wonder both Kol and Klaus were at each other's throats they had both been drinking.
"I just wanted to see how you are doing." Marie responded lightly.
"I told you the bloody daggers are going to be an issue." Kol growled taking a gulp of liquor.
"I'm sorry –."
"Don't. I really don't have the patience Marie." Kol remarked glaring at her slightly.
"Alright." Marie responded simply glancing out to the trees, Kol was never the one for patience and something must really be bothering him.
"Why can't you stop helping him. Leave him to deal with the witches and vampires."
"And get him mad at me? Didn't turned out so good for you." Marie teased lightly.
Kol rolled his eyes, "Please, he would be happy to get you away from the witches."
"I know he isn't fond of it but he is allowing it to happen. What? I thought you were excited for me to get back into magic and interact with witches… what changed?" Marie asked slightly concerned Kol rarely is concerned with her, and when he is it is serious.
"Everyone is picking sides and the witches want you and I on their side." Kol remarked, honestly with Klaus's outburst Kol would have gladly go to the witches just to stress Klaus out to no end.
"And this worries you –."
"They aren't going to take no for an answer. You have two options either you leave Davina Claire alone, or bring her to them. If you chose no for either then you are pissing off another set of spirits that wouldn't think twice of harming you." Kol responded glaring at Marie to let her know he is serious.
Marie froze at the threat, she finally was free of spirits and now more want to use her just to get to Davina? "No, I cannot let them harm Davina."
Kol grabbed Marie forcing her down on the roof he held her arms and legs down his eyes bordering into hers, "Don't be stupid. They will use you as a puppet –."
"Either way I would if I let Davina by herself or take her to her death. I can handle more angry spirits I dealt with them my whole life." Marie responded struggling with Kol's strength for he was enraged.
"I admit it is not the honorable choice but take it Marie, leave her alone and let everything play out."
"Kol I can handle it –."
"These are witches that use ancestral magic, they are always in contact with the spirits, what better way to have a pissed off spirit with a foothold to you."
"And if that happens I'm sure we can find a way around that." Marie responded trying to get Kol to ease his grip. Marie adds, "Kol let go of me."
Kol narrowed his eyes, "Not a chance. Either you listen to what I am saying or I will force the decision for you. Don't test me darling you know how that goes and I am really not a fan of Nik right now don't make me be in the same room as him again."
"I can make decisions of my own –."
"Only if those decisions are bloody helpful for everyone else." Kol growled Marie stopped struggling letting him pin her down, if she fought it would piss him off even more and that is where his irrational thoughts kick in.
"Kol I'm not going to let anyone control me, not them and not you. Now we can either let them control us or be a force they are going to have to reckon with." Marie persuaded Kol narrowed his eyes smirking slightly he leaned back letting go of her arms but still had her legs pinned.
"What do you have in mind darling? I love to have some chaos for order." Kol remarked Marie sighed slightly with Kol's change of mood.
"Well I lost your bet with my father pissing Davina off and she comes to me." Marie responded causing Kol's eyes to gleam in curiosity. Marie added, "I found a warlock that is in some big trouble with the witches here and I made a deal with him to get him out of here if he does something for me."
Kol raised his eyebrow, "And how does this fit with me winning the bet?"
"Well I asked him if he can lend his body for a body switch and I will help him get a better life. How you like being a witch on the inside?" Marie replied smirking slightly seeing Kol's eyes widen his smirk grew.
"Hmm I can be far away from Nik and I can go as I please and watch you from doing anything stupid." Kol grinned at Marie letting her go and sat next to her. He adds, "So what going to happen to my body?"
"I can keep it safe lock it in the coffin and I can tell my father I daggered you to keep him from trying to find you." Marie responded giving him the dagger.
Kol laughed slightly, "So you convinced a lad to have someone take over him what are you getting at?"
"Well I figured the witches make threats and go to their ancestors and since they are watching me they would never assume a young warlock making friends with Davina." Marie responded smiling at him.
Kol grinned, "Darling you are taking a page out of the Mikaelson book, alright I'm intrigued. So, when do we get started? I'm itching to get some magic."
Marie pulled Kol along to Loyola University a little outside the French Quarter. Kol grinned even more seeing the University, he is going to enjoy this. "So, what this kid do?"
"He's been messing around with some of the local girls around here and some happen to be witches. This guy is from out of state he decided to go to school in New Orleans for the live nights." Marie responded glancing around for the dorms.
Kol smirked, "I'm starting to like this kid even more."
Marie opened the door to Buddig Hall Kol peered around curiously seeing a boy waiting in the lobby. The boy smirked and waved at Marie, "Hey I'm Kaleb." Kol smirked shaking his hand.
"So, guess you are going to get me out of this mess huh?" Kaleb chuckled uneasily running a hand through his hair.
"Who did you piss off?" Kol remarked amused.
Kaleb rolled his eyes sighing, "There was this witch, we started hitting it off and her psycho coven tried to put a hex on me threatening if I ever go back to the French Quarter I would lose my mind. Apparently, the witches can't do magic there, it sucks but they are going way too far with killing me for showing the girl simple magic tricks."
"And you are putting me in a hostile area?" Kol glanced between Kaleb and Marie.
Kaleb shrugged, "Hey she said you can get me out of this mess. Just don't get me killed –."
"I wouldn't want to get killed either trust me." Kol responded sarcastically.
"I promise it will be fine I will be with you all the time." Marie ensured both of them.
Kaleb opened the door to his dorm revealing a double suite. Kaleb sat on the left bed peering at Marie, "I have to be honest with you I never done this before. I'm a bit excited and nervous."
Kol remarked, "First things for everything aye?" Kaleb laughed nervously nodding slightly.
