"So, it's true… Davina wasn't resurrected?" Marie asked gazing after Kol as he reapplied ice to his temple.

Kol nodded, "Sorry darling, I figured after all the empty promises from the witch community I would have thought the spirits would have some decency to hold their word." Kol was amused that his brother only brought Davina's death to Marie, he purposely left the heaviest news on his shoulders it seems.

Marie shook her head sitting on the twin bed within the dorm, "I just don't understand, you would have thought the spirits would go by their word to resurrect the Harvest girls in order to bring the community back together. Especially when the witches are under threat." Marie could not shake the feeling, she dealt with spirits, the one thing they hold most precious is to keep their line flourishing, it felt wrong because the witches would lose respect to their ancestors if they delivered empty promises with sacrificing innocent children.

Kol glanced at her, he knew the look, "What's on your mind?"

Marie frowns trying to put together the pieces that can be logical, "Is it possible that someone could have stolen the magic and that is why the girls haven't been resurrected?" That was the only thing she can think of that can explain all the trouble of the Harvest and it did not meet its expectations.

Kol raised his eyebrow, "Interesting theory…" He always found it odd that over two centuries the Harvest was held highly, and last night did not seem all that spectacular.

"Why not? I had seen it before, Demetri lasted centuries with harvesting magic from witches into talismans for his own benefit." Marie responded, Marie remembers when she first made contact with Demetri, as she had done with Davina, Marie was able to witness him kill witches sucking the magic into himself, rather letting the magic to going back to the earth. Demetri's aura was blended with thousands of other auras from his victims.

Kol pondered, he never really met Demetri, only for a brief moment when Marie resurrected him after she fulfilled her part of the deal to destroy Silas. Demetri evaporated into thin air, making a bold statement to catch up with Marie sometime in their long life to talk about the event that went down where both Kol and Marie were absent, while Demetri was left to witness Silas getting destroyed by a spirit that was granted a foothold within Marie.

Marie shrugged, "I can get in contact with him, since I did offer him a chance to meet again." Kol narrowed his eyes, great another man that has interest in her. Marie frowned at the look Kol gave her, "What? I just thought he could be helpful."

"We do not need help from that arrogant bastard." Kol remarked, Marie smirked at him slightly because she knew he would rather figure everything out himself and be damned to get help from anyone else.

Marie shrugged, "All right than, just figure having extra hands would be useful."

Kol rolled his eyes, "Darling, by the little you told me about him, I seriously doubt he is the type of man to do charity work for others." Kol did had a point, the time Marie came across Demetri he only did things that would benefit himself in the long run. Marie only suggested in persuading Kol to have Demetri to come, for he also spent his long life in contact with witches and may be more educated on the signs of magic theft. She was also curious on Demetri's whereabouts on what he does now that he finally succeeded in obtaining his own magic with an immortal life.

Kol adds sneering, "If you have other suggestions for your suitors, I believe the best that is qualified in doing charity work that would actually be selfless is Runa. Oh wait, you sent him away without his memories, such a pity." Marie winced at his word, it was true Runa would do anything to help her, no matter the task he would always do what's best. Kol had to throw her that blow, lately Marie has been carelessly asking around information and help from strangers and it would lead her to more trouble as it did with the Dowager Fauline Cottage. He wanted to remind her that loyalty rarely comes often and she shouldn't be so quick to try to gain some. That was Klaus's downfall, he believed loyalty comes with threats and Kol hoped Marie wouldn't assume loyalty would come from people that are aiming to gain something with the alliance.

Marie was silent for a few moments, "I miss him you know, I took his memories away in order to protect him from Esther… he was so enraged that she had been resurrected he wanted to kill her because she brought me so much pain throughout the centuries. I just hope he is living his life to the fullest, I held him back from his potential." Marie responds gazing down at her hands, loving her only brought death and pain – it's a curse and the only way people can survive is if they leave, she nearly cost her family their lives countless of times.

Kol peered at her, "Darling he would never live life to the fullest because you aren't in it."

Marie gazed up at him by his comment, "Why are you bringing him up? You hated him."

Kol winked, "Hate is a strong word, it's more of a neutral feeling towards him. I actually liked the lad with his devotion to you, the rest of the suitors I had to deal with over the centuries wanted something more it's the reason why I killed most of Rebekah's." Kol sighed, "What I'm getting at is that you have been careless in mending alliances, you are rushing them. These witches aren't loyal to you, they just see an opportunity, this boy being one of them." Kol pointed to his body insinuating Kaleb. Kol continued, "Don't be so trustworthy of these people Marie, they all find benefit with being in your good graces. They aren't Runa or your family, they don't care what happens to you. I don't want you to be doing anymore favors to gain half-hearted loyalties." Kol gave her a knowing glance, he knew about her witch informant, Kate, who so happens to leave out the part of the Cottage being under a powerful boundary spell. Davina also put Marie in danger with getting her mixed up with the coven's custody battle, Marie was so desperate in making Davina an ally it almost cost her.

Marie frowns slightly uncomfortable with Kol being the one to talk about these things for he never was concerned about what she does with the people she comes across, "I just wanted to help, we needed people with us, in case anything happens that requires these allies, especially with that dark presence I felt at that house."

Kol came towards her placing his hand on her shoulder, "We just need each other because you know you will never be betrayed by me that can go with the rest of our family."

Marie smiled lightly, "So you are over the dagger disagreements with my father?"

Kol scowls, "No I am still not fully trustful with Nik on that matter, but regardless when one of us is threatened, the people will face the wrath of the Mikaelsons." Kol lightly hid his reassurance to her with the statement not wanting to be the one to inform her that Esther may have something to do with the dark magic that was left behind the house Marie barely escaped from.

Marie smiled at him, "I know, don't worry when it comes to protecting the family we always find a way to survive."

Kol grins, "Remind me when these magic issues get resolved that I should spend some time away from conflict. Honestly coming back from the death, I still feel like I cannot get away from this endless circle of supernatural feud." To be honest Kol thought New Orleans was a place where he can relax and be himself, but after experiencing death he'd been cautious in how he goes about things and it has been irritating him.

Marie sighs nodding in agreement, "I feel the same, I would have thought after centuries of conflict, there would be some sort of accord, I guess that's where Marcel and my father are trying to accomplish but they think one supernatural species dominating the others would keep peace."

Kol laughed, "Darling even the humans can't keep the peace amongst themselves, what makes everyone think they can accomplish this with three different species? I rather have this place lacking the factions, it makes things so much more simpler."

Marie pondered, "When the threat comes, it would impact the whole city every faction, giving everyone with the same goal to stay alive."

Kol grins glad that she was catching on, "The dark presence and stolen magic can be the thing that can bring all the communities together to be unified and get to know one another."

"Hopefully my father and Marcel come to that conclusion, because you're right we don't need alliances that can be altered, we just need similar goals to survive." Marie responds gazing out towards the window seeing a storm brewing in the distance.

Kol looked down at the teenager's body, "We should give Kaleb his body back, we accomplished our deal. It would for the best for him to get less involved."

Marie smiled at him teasingly, "Getting attached to him?"

Kol scuffed glaring at her, "Please, me caring about a mere human? I just don't want to be in this bloody body anymore." He wasn't lying, after suffering from that concussion and having the human feelings overpowering him under circumstances really made him miss his old body. Kol disliked how the human feelings were conflicting with his actual self because he doesn't get bothered by murders, but this human body can't handle the sight of it. But he couldn't tell Marie that the boy was rubbing off him, subconsciously, and he sort of saw some little part of his old human self in this boy that he wanted to spare.

Marie smirked, Kol was always defensive especially when he lets genuine emotions out that shows he still had humanity. Kol always wanted to be perceived as being insensitive and wild, but sometimes that manner cracks.

Kol rolled his eyes seeing her smile, "Just get me out of this body."

Elijah glanced over the journal Marie had acquired when she was trapped with the broken witches. As the entries got newer, the witch's writing style changed, he narrowed his eyes feeling he recognized the handwriting from somewhere in his vast memories. Elijah stared at it more scanning through where he seen it. Elijah pondered as he stood up, he walked to the chest that held little meaningful things he had collected over the years. Elijah moved around trinkets and letters until he came across a letter that caught his eye. Elijah brought over the journal to the letter comparing the handwriting, his eyes widened Celeste…

1821 New Orleans

Music played loudly within the governor's mansion in celebration towards new alliances. Elijah smiled as his guest arrived, "I am pleased you came."

The woman beamed at him lovingly, "How can I miss this?" She waved her hand over the laughter and music.

"May I have this dance?" Elijah bows smiling up at her, Celeste giggles taking his hand to the ballroom.

Klaus glares from above watching Elijah happily taking the witch's hand for a dance. Klaus narrowed his eyes seeing his brother's mood, with Elijah like this, it infuriated him because it reminded him of the night he lost his chance in becoming a Hybrid because Elijah had feelings for the girl that was needed to be sacrificed. Elijah gave Katherina the same look, those feelings is what led to Klaus's demise to be the same as his daughter.

Klaus shifted his gaze to Marie watching her dance and smile up to a man that she turned nearly three hundred years ago. Klaus glares, a sprain of jealousy formed in the pit of his stomach because Marie was able to become and create a Hybrid before him. Klaus stared at Runa as he twists Marie in a twirl, Klaus wanted to be the first-person Marie can come to as a Hybrid. Marie triggered her werewolf gene in 1483 by accident leading Klaus to become more determined to complete the ritual to unleash his werewolf side it would have been only a few years after Marie, but Elijah had to ruin everything. Because of Elijah, Klaus had to watch his daughter have his dreams to accomplish an evolved species.

It was nearly 300 years when his opportunity was taken from him and he still felt the reminder every day, and the rage can barely be subsided. Klaus only agreed to have Elijah back in his life because Marie wanted their family together again and Klaus had already spent a century by himself in a blind rage killing anyone who so as crossed his way after the fiasco of the ritual. It has been a century since Klaus put aside his hatred towards Elijah to allow Elijah to be near him again to travel to New Orleans together. But Klaus was already setting his plan of revenge for his brother to make him lose something that he yearns for, Klaus smirked darkly, Elijah would know to never cross me again. Klaus already had daggered Finn during the period of his century rage. Klaus became mindful of Marie's knowledge of Finn being missing due to her contact with Finn's lover, Sage, which made him cautious on his plan to dagger the rest of his siblings. Klaus just got Marie back after her travels brought her to New Orleans and he didn't want to alarm her if he went to dagger all his siblings at once to spite Elijah.

Klaus kept his mood hidden, when celebrations like these come it was difficult for Klaus to keep his mood neutral because everyone in his family were in good moods, while he was still frustrated. Klaus growls he was in need of something to appease his surfacing rage or he would lash out, his eyes caught women heading up the stairs. He looked back at Elijah dancing with his harlot he smirked darkly I will give Elijah one day of happiness.

Elijah glanced up sensing he was being watched, he caught the dark smirk Klaus gave towards him just as he disappeared from the railing. Elijah frowned in concern for Klaus and his relationship has not been the same, the only time they are in the same room is for business. Elijah glanced over to his niece dancing wondering if Klaus would do anything vile with her being here. Marie just recently came back to New Orleans with her companion Runa. She kept her distance from Klaus for the past three centuries knowing he was sensitive about not being a Hybrid, last time Marie brought home Runa Klaus had a keen dislike on the man because of the closeness he and Marie had. Elijah actually liked the boy, he saw the potential in him that would keep his niece safe.

"Elijah." Elijah looked back at his dance partner seeing her look at him with concern.

"Forgive me, I was just in thought about Niklaus." Elijah apologized to her kissing her cheek.

Celeste rolled her eyes, "Niklaus is acting up again."

Elijah sighs, "He only wants attention." It bothered Elijah that Klaus still held his grudge, Klaus attempts to hide his true feelings, but Elijah could see past his mask. He could see the silent rage it is only a matter of when it would be released.

Elijah was able to find a few witches that were survivors from Marcel's massacre. Most were frightened, they had no idea the outcome of the ritual would go that way. And Elijah had a few suspicions that there was some foul play. Elijah frowns seeing the witch community's spirit is broken, feeling the ancestors had abandoned them.

"I hear you've been asking around about the ritual." Elijah looked up from his thoughts seeing four people in front of him.

Elijah narrowed his eyes recognizing some of the faces that had died decades ago, "What is the meaning of this?"

Elijah stared as the tan woman stepped closer to him, she smiled at him, "Oh sweet devoted Elijah, you will forever be your brother's keeper no matter what vile fate he bestows on others."

Elijah's eyes widen, "Celeste…" Elijah gazed at the other witches around her, as he recognizes two of the three: Papa Tunde, and Genevieve.

Elijah took a shocking step back, "Why are you here?"

"We are all protecting our coven from vampires, especially your family." Celeste smirked darkly.

Elijah grunts in pain as he was overcome with magic. Elijah could hear Celeste mock as his vision became hazy, "I guess your family being always together isn't forever after all."

1821 New Orleans

Marie peered at the new additions to the coven, she knew of the man's form of magic, it was powerful and dark, it baffled her that he was making heavy promises in order to become leader. Marie's reputation with the witches in New Orleans were mostly on the positive side, she shares her vast knowledge of spells and history of magic to them in exchange for their protection and exorcism charms. Marie's efforts in banishing the spirits torments on her haven't been effective until she first traveled with witches and learned their different methods of silencing the spirits. Many of the witches had heard of her, for she and Kol have spent centuries off and on traveling around with different covens and tribes to learn from them and create alliances. Stories of her heritage have mostly been lost due to her family's efforts to protect her from Mikael with her last name changing to Nikon and have her occasionally visit. However, the witches can tell she was different from other vampires, it was the reason she was able to keep good ties with them and she was wary of showing her true abilities in case the news would spread.

"He's an interesting one." Celeste responded as she came behind Marie.

Marie nods slightly as she overlooks a young witch's grimoire. Marie beams at the young girl handing her back the book after adding additional information to perfect the spell the girl was having trouble with, "You almost got it perfectly, I add more to your spell, lets see if it enhances it." The young girl smiles at Marie shyly as she ran back to her mother.

Celeste peers at Marie intrigued, "Why do you do it?"

Marie gave the woman a pointed look, "What's the point of gathering all this knowledge of magic and have it lost? Might as well share it with younger generations."

Celeste was interested in Marie for she could feel that raw power within the vampire and was intrigued with how the Originals were able to find a vampire with such a unique gift. Elijah would not speak much on how he and Klaus found her, other than how she was under Klaus's wing. Whenever Celeste sees Marie around the Originals' home she always noticed that Klaus had a keen eye on her as if Marie was his prized possession within his factions.

"Wise words, and what do you think of Papa Tunde's method of magic?" Celeste asked the vampire.

Marie shrugs, "Sacrificial magic is powerful, but it's a double edge sword. In my opinion I wouldn't meddle with it." Marie's gaze fell on the man again noticing he was watching her. Marie shifted her gaze back to other witch children as they ran up to her for magic advice while their parents gathered around for Papa Tunde's candidate speech for coven leader. Marie smiled seeing the children's excitement, Marie enjoyed strolling through the witch community partially because how curious the young witches were towards her. Marie put her hands up, "All right all right calm down one at a time."

Papa Tunde spotted the vampire amongst the witch community, he noticed how comfortable the witches were towards her, especially the children. As he spoke of his sacrificial power and how he would defend this coven from werewolves, vampires, and human politics, the vampire would peer up as if she was studying him.

Papa Tunde strode towards the vampire, curious on what was the significance of this one vampire. As he neared he could feel it, the raw power that ripples off of her as if she was a witch. The vampire stood up from her position where she was eye level with the children to look at him in suspicion, he noticed she ushered the children to go. He smiled at her realizing who she was based upon the old stories from his people, "Madame Marie, it is an honor to be in your presence. My people had spoken highly of you." The Guardian, the stories were true of a vampire that held the most humanity then any other and was able to possess the art of magic.

Marie smiled lightly, "As I have heard of you and your method of magic."

He grinned larger, "Every witch has a certain expertise, mine so happens to be sacrificial magic."

Marie narrowed her eyes, "A word of advice, promoting violence against other faction in the supernatural community would only bring more violence. I would tread lightly on who you sacrifice." Marie turns away ready to leave.

Tunde sneers calling off to her, "Madame, I will be consulting my position as leader with your father." Marie stopped in her tracks turning around hiding her surprise. He grinned, "Oh yes, my people had known you before you broke ties with your name."

Marie stared at him scowling, "As I said before, tread lightly. There is no need for unneeded bloodshed." Marie flashed away.

Celeste's eyes widen, this whole time Marie was Klaus's daughter, well Niklaus if you step out of line I know where to strike you where you are most vulnerable. Tunde set his gaze on her sensing her power, Celeste smiled at him if Klaus so as threatened Elijah or me he would get it back tenfold.

Elijah's body greyed as he was displayed above a sacrificial sigil. Tunde smirks at the other witches, "They will come. Only this time we are prepared."

Celeste smiled, "The era of the vampires will end, and the witches will rise." She gazed over Elijah's body I hope you are in pain.

Elijah's body was paralyzed, he could not move, it was like he was forced to watch every terrible thing he has done in his life that conflicted him. He was stuck in a cycle of violence that he couldn't turn away from, the deepest regrets. "How can you consider killing him?! He is your brother!" Elijah froze remembering this day. An image of Marie came before him, he looked down at himself noticing his body moving on its own. He gazed up blinking seeing Marie as a little girl smiling up at him with so much trust and love. Elijah screamed in silence as he thrust his hand into the little girl, a look of horror and shock went over her features. Elijah held back tears as Marie grew older, the age she was for centuries with his hand in her chest as she desiccated. He could hear himself justifying his actions to her "I have to give an offer that Niklaus can never refuse." To this day Marie's trust in him still trying to mend again. Elijah grimaced as the rest of the memories consist of his family and how he could have been better, done something better. He tried so hard to mend his family together, but he lacked in respects to Kol and Finn, it may be the reason why both of them went their different ways in dealing with vampirism.

Elijah became tired, the memories rushing at him over the centuries made him wonder who exactly he was. A memory of Celeste passed through his mind, he gazed upon her seeing the betrayal in her eyes, "Did I mean nothing to you? Was I just a play thing to distract yourself when Niklaus ignores you?" Oh, he wished he handled that day better, maybe Celeste would not be here in a rage against his brother…

1821 New Orleans

Klaus glared up as his meeting with the pack leader of the werewolves was interrupted. Klaus narrowed his eyes sensing the men that barged in were witches, "This is a private meeting."

Tunde smiled, "This meeting regards the leaders of each faction and the witches deserve a seat at the table."

Klaus sneered, "Now, why should you?"

"You are already lacking the human faction." Tunde indicated, Klaus narrowed his eyes because he already had the mayor in his pocket, has the man influenced the mayor to his side?

Klaus inhaled, he growls as one of the twin men behind Tunde placed a box on the table leaking blood. Klaus snarls, "How dare you –."

"Unlike the humans, the witches will not be bribed nor frightened from either of your kind." Tunde smiled seeing Klaus grow more furious.

"Yet you would rather go to war?" Klaus threatens taking a challenging step towards the witches.

Tunde smiled, "I am prepared to protect my coven. But it's a shame bloodshed cannot be avoided; your daughter was highly against it."

Klaus's eyes darkened dangerously, "Than you should had listened to her." Klaus flashed towards the man only to be knocked back.

Tunde shook his head, "I know your weakness, if there is any retaliation from the vampires I know where to go."

Klaus scowls, "If you think you are untouchable witch you are gravely mistaken." Klaus's eyes settled on the twins, these witches will know to fear me.

Klaus had murdered them, for a father would not know the greatest sorrow until losing a child. Klaus was waiting for it, the pain and brokenness of the Greatest witch. Klaus could eliminate the whole witch population if he wanted to by himself. Klaus smirked darkly, this may even give me an excuse to get rid of Elijah's harlot. Klaus told Elijah that the witches were betraying them, he couldn't help but grin as he knew Elijah would drop the whore for the sake of helping him in regaining what he wants since Elijah clearly wanted to find a way to get back in his good graces.

Klaus sneers hearing Elijah's witch demanding her worth to his brother no matter what, Elijah always repeats the same cycle… As Elijah left Klaus watched the witch cry in the tub. Klaus mocks, "You were just another pretty face to pass the time. Elijah will always fall back onto his family because he is in such need of trying to mend things." Klaus approached her sneering down at her as she looked pathetically small. "But to be honest Elijah is too blinded to see that he means nothing to me." Klaus sarcastically gave her a sad look, "Too bad he chooses a broken relation over you, being betrayed by someone you love is a whole new level of pain."

Klaus flashed towards her forcing her head under the water, she thrashes around trying to claw herself from him. Klaus locked eyes with her seeing her panicked eyes under the water, he grins, "All you witches think I wouldn't harm you because my daughter sympathizes with you. If I had it my way I would exterminate every last one of you. Take this to your death witch, you died for nothing." Klaus grins larger seeing the fight to live leave her eyes as she stared up at him just as her life left her body.

Marie opened the door to the mansion her family occupied, she frowns no one is home… Marie flashed down stairs to where Kol's coffin was kept.

Marie rolled her eyes as Kol yells, "Get me out of here!" Marie muttered an unsealing spell to allow Kol to open the coffin. Kol heaved his hands in the air narrowing his eyes, "What took you so long?! I was nearly trapped in there for a bloody hour!"

"Sorry I had to travel back here, and I locked the coffin just in case my father decided to snoop around." Marie responded in her defense.

Kol stepped out of the coffin ignoring her excuse, "Let's get some food, I'm starving."

Marie remarked, "You know I sort of liked when you were connected towards Kaleb's humanity, you were far more genuine."

Kol sneered at her, "You must really think lowly of me if you liked the emotional wired human influence on me."

Marie shrugs, "Sometimes I just need some reassurance to know if you care about other people, the past centuries you've shown less of that. But at least with some human influence that was on you, I know you actually care, you just hide it too well."

Kol grins, "Don't worry darling, I'm not Elijah nor Niklaus I would never desiccate you if that is what you are getting at. You shouldn't doubt how much you mean to me."

Marie sighs, "I mean other people Kol."

Kol winked at her, "Why should I give a damn about random people? I'm not made like that darling, I'm not you. If the people give me something that interest me than I might care." Marie rolled her eyes, Kol smirked at her wrapping his arm around her as they left the house.

"Any idea where everyone else is?" Marie asked as they strolled along.

"Probably making progress on the werewolves, Nik seemed focused on having them on his side of things." Kol huffed, "To think he used to despise those creatures as much as I do until he became one, such a pity."

"Kol you only dislike them because werewolves killed me." Marie responded softly.

Kol rolled his eyes, "Not only that darling, they are just dirty and smelly even in their human forms they smell like dog."

Marie couldn't contain her laugh, "Do I smell?"

Kol grinned at her, "Luckily you don't."

Marie nudged him, she adds, "If they still need a powerful witch to reverse the curse on the werewolves, I can offer –."

"Of course, you will offer why am I not surprised, honestly at times I wish you were more like Nik where he gets others to do things for him." Kol remarked shaking his head. Kol opened the door to Rousseau, Kol and Marie sat the bar. Kol glanced over the menu frowning, "Marie darling order for me, I have no bloody idea what these things are… how in the last two centuries the names of food change?!"

Marie laughed, "You are supposed to look at the description under the name the restaurant calls their meals." Kol ohhed smirking back at the menu.

"Ready to order?" Kol and Marie glanced up noticing Cami was working the bar.

Kol grins at her, "Certainly love, we will both have gumbo. I will have the strongest whiskey you got."

Marie smiles, "I will have a Rum-Coke."

"I.D.s please." Cami stated.

Kol gazed at Marie then back at the bartender he dilated his eyes, "No need for that love."

Cami smiled at him sarcastically, "Sorry it's a part of the job description." Kol narrowed his eyes vervain… Marie took out her license, Kol peered over her and checked his pockets to see if he had one.

Marie handed her the I.D. Kol followed suit, remembering Marie got him one when she first undaggered him from a 200-hundred-year slumber.

Cami gazed at the I.D.s, "25 and 28 huh?"

Kol grins at her, "Oh yes, Nik hides his age really well. Plus, my mother was a harlot that's why I'm much younger. Marie and I are practically brother and sister rather uncle and niece." Cami gave him a once over and turned to making the drinks. Kol winked at Marie remarking to Cami, "Say, what happened to you and my brother anyway? Seemed like he was heads over heels for you and then nothing."

Cami scowls at him, "Guess he's just not my type."

Kol hummed, "And what exactly is your type love?"

Cami rolled her eyes, "A nice genuine guy."

Kol snorted, "What's the fun in that? That's so boring, at least a complicated man had something interesting. And believe me Nik is completely complicated."

Cami gave them their drinks leaving them alone. Kol grins at Marie, "Seems like you are the only woman Niklaus wants in his life."

Marie laughs, "Too bad, would have liked to have another woman to talk to about things."

Kol chuckled, "Bekah gets a bit repetitive on subjects?" Marie nods Kol sighs shaking his head in sarcastic disappointment. Kol downed his drink, his appetite was growing, he was unsure if he would be able to hold off a hunt until later, "Since Nik has no relations with her anymore, think it's fine if I taste her?"

Marie hit him on the arm, "Wow Kol, your unchasteness never seized to amaze me."

Kol rolled his eyes, "It was just an honest question Marie." Marie shook her head he is unbelievable.

The bell rang as the door opened, Marie froze feeling the intense energy that walked inside. Kol raised an eyebrow sensing her nervousness, Kol turned to look at the person that caused Marie discomfort.

Marie stared at Papa Tunde, "How is this possible?"

Tunde smiled at Marie, "You tell me, you have studied many arts of magic."

Marie stepped back, "The Harvest magic that was stolen was used to bring you back." Marie can sense the mixed auras Tunde displayed.

Tunde grins, "And others, I have to say your father makes enemies with the wrong people."

Kol glares as the intruder stepped forward, "Think that's far enough mate, unless you want to lose a few limbs."

"Kol, he practices sacrificial magic." Marie warned Kol stood up flashing towards the witch, Tunde side stepped and threw Kol down. Marie froze getting a flash of Elijah's desiccated body on display, "Kol he is channeling Elijah!" Kol growls clawing to get free from the witch's grip, he chanted Kol struggled feeling himself become weaker.

Marie saw Kol become grey. Marie threw out her hands screaming, "NO! Leave him!" Tunde was knocked back from Kol, Marie flashed towards her uncle throwing him back. Tunde held Marie's neck picking her up with Elijah's strength. Tunde gazed at her, "It is a shame the children pay for their father's sins." Marie could feel the desiccation setting in. Tunde pulled out a long blade, Marie's eyes widen in horror, her eyes became hazy as the dark magic consumed her just as he broke skin on her forehead.

Kol woozily looked up seeing Marie in a choke hold with the witch slicing the blade through her forehead her eyes becoming white. Kol broke a stool flashing behind the witch and ramming the broken wood into his chest. The witch momentarily dropped Marie to the ground, Kol caught her and flashed them out to safety.

Klaus grows more irritated as he attempts to call Elijah it went straight to voicemail. Klaus was hoping to get the werewolves' curse broken before Finn comes back in town ultimately ruining his mood and Elijah was in charge with finding more information about the witch who had cast it.

Klaus sighs in annoyance it seems I will have to wait until the full moon to talk to the wolves about my proposition of releasing them from the curse in order to have them as allies and even try to influence them to become Hybrids.

"It's a dangerous place to be speculating apparently there are wolves in these woods." Klaus threw his head around in surprise for he didn't hear anyone approach him.

A red headed woman smiled at him, Klaus blinked grinning at her, "Genevieve, looking more dashing than ever, I must say whatever spells you witches create to keep you all youthfulness is very impressive."

Genevieve smiled at him shyly by his comment, "That isn't the case, but thank you Klaus. I died during the Civil War by your brother Kol."

Klaus stared at her, "Then how are you alive?"

Genevieve looked over Klaus, "A witch stole magic from the Harvest, those four girls that were supposed to be resurrected did not because the witch specifically brought back certain witches from your family's past."

Klaus narrowed his eyes, "Why are you telling me this?"

Genevieve gave him a small smile, "I have nothing against you Klaus, we were once lovers. I also do not wish more bloodshed on the coven."

"Wise decision coming to me, tell me more about these witches." Klaus became intrigued, if these witches were the source of the Harvest ritual failure he may get Marcel to be allied with him…

1862 New Orleans

Klaus gazed at his canvas quietly stroking the paint brush to not awaken the beautiful maiden. Genevieve stirred slightly, Klaus smirked adding darker paint to illustrate the shadows over her body. Klaus eliminated Tunde and his followers leaving the next generation of the witches unmarked by the vengeance to erupt another war against vampires. Most of the witches that were left were too young to remember Tunde's reign.

With the Civil War on their borders, every species wanted peace amongst each other because the war was at their door step and death would not discriminate, everyone in the city would be at danger if the Union decided to take over the Confederacy's largest city and have control of the Mississippi River. Klaus would make sure this city would stand.

"What are you doing?" Genevieve purred as she stretched noticing Klaus was out of bed gazing at her intently.

"I'm just admiring my master piece." Klaus grins seeing her smile shyly. She clutched the sheets heading to him to get a look at his painting.

"It is amazing how talented you are." Genevieve responds smiling at him. Klaus grins kissing her cheek.

An explosion shook the whole room, they ran to the window witnessing the fort guarding the coastline in flames.

"The humans Civil War is here." Klaus growls as he threw on his clothes. "I am not going to watch my city burn to the ground."

Genevieve watched as he goes, she quickly got dressed to head to the other witches for a plan of action. Genevieve gasped as a building ahead of her became engulfed with flames. She gazed around noticing one by one buildings came ablaze. Screams echoed around her as citizens ran frantically Confederate troops ran in different directions, the Union was coming. Genevieve could see over the smoke of the fire, gun fire flashing. A wave of blue flooded the road, Genevieve stepped back away from the fighting backing herself into an alley way.

Union troops ran passed the alley way she hid in, but one stopped noticing her. Genevieve backed away seeing the man smirk darkly, his body was covered in soot and blood. His eyes were covered from his bowed head and hat. The man gazed up at her, Genevieve's eyes widen, the man before her looked like he could be a younger version of Elijah.

Kol grins at her, "You must be one of my brother's play things, I can smell him off you."

Genevieve took a step back seeing him take another predatory step to her, "Why are you doing this to the city your brothers built?"

"Because I'm bored love, I like a change of atmosphere." Kol laughed just as another explosion occurred.

Genevieve glares giving him a migraine Kol chuckles his eyes were dark, "That wasn't very lady like." Kol flashed towards her sinking his teeth into her neck. She screams in pain, Kol ripped out her neck throwing her down. Genevieve stared up at him in horror holding onto her gushing neck Kol smiled, "Sorry love, I can't have witches that are loyal to my brother get in my way." Kol watched as she breathed heavily blood trickled down her mouth, her eyes became unfocused.

Kol whistles over the explosions and screams he strolled towards his family's home. Kol placed his Union hat on his head again, grinning smugly as he pushed the door opened seeing Klaus and Elijah scrambling around to save anything valuable.

Marie noticed him first, Kol winked at her she shook her head smiling nervously at him. Marie knew he enlisted himself for the Union, however her other relatives assumed he would be on the same side as their city. Marie knew Kol liked a change of history and what better way to make it in the books is to be a part of that history?

Kol stepped forward in the courtyard waiting for his relatives to give him death glares. Kol smirked getting just that as Klaus and Elijah spotted him. Rebekah was on the second floor looking at him in horror.

Klaus snarls at him pointing to his uniform, "What have you done?!"

Kol smiled at him, "I am making history."

Klaus growls at him, "You come back here with these Yankees to destroy the city we built?!"

"I didn't build anything, I don't have deep connections to this city like you do. You should really start living in history, rather let it pass you by." Kol laughed, Klaus didn't find it amusing he flashed towards Kol thrusting the dagger into his heart.

Kol gasped glaring at him, Klaus rolled his eyes at the look his brother gave him, "What did you expect Kol when you came back here dressed like that?" Kol held onto him as his body greyed. Marie winced seeing Kol go down by her father's hand.

Klaus noticed Marie and Rebekah's sadden expressions, he growls, "He brought this upon himself! He destroyed our home!" He had to give it to Kol, after the centuries of being together with all his annoying stunts this one was the craziest he has ever done.

Marie lowered her gaze she hopes Klaus wouldn't hide Kol as difficult as he did with Finn. It seems her father is starting to have a tendency in using the daggers out of spite. Klaus picked Kol up glaring at his relatives, "Come on let's go."
