Klaus P.O.V
My thought were still churning through my mind about this secret weapon that Marcel seem to have in his possession, a young girl, a witch to be able to wipe an original mind that took a lot of power to do that. Which got me thinking what special about this one girl how could she consume such power? Then the reaction from Star when hearing the name Davina, I didn't want to make it too clear that I notice a slight fear and concern in her voice, but there was something truly there about this Davina girl. There a lot about Star that I do not know about in the last 520 years, like how her and Marcel seem to know each other, the fact that she seemed to fear for this Davina life. There are parts of my beloved that I truly didn't know about. The one thing that I'm grateful for her doing was stopping Hayley from doing something incredibly stupid by harming the child. I will not admit this out loud but I do want to be a father, but the one thing I fear is if I become like my own father Mikael. When we chose to be something that we don't want to be the element push us closer to the one thing we fear without realising it, I will up most to prove myself and everyone who doubt me along the way. This child I see as my redemption that maybe that loving this tiny person will bring back the man I once was.
With all the bodies that Star left scattered from when she saved Hayley from the vampire attack I brought them all back to the plantation to be burned. If Marcel was to know of any of this Hayley and the baby life would be in danger. Then knowing that it was Star who killed his men he would surly punish her and that I will not allow, I need to keep him onside until I have all the relevant information I need to take him down.
"I cannot believe you disposed of those vampires without me. You know how I love to set things on fire." I heard my sister from behind me as I ignited the fire.
"Was I supposed to leave them in the front yard to rot? Besides, they were my responsibility. They attacked the helpless pregnant girl who's carrying my child." I walked away from her and made my way into the house, I didn't have time or patient for Rebekah snarky comments right now.
"Oh, I am so moved by your newfound sense of fatherly duties towards the werewolf carrying your hybrid bun in her oven." Rebekah continued with her comment which didn't amuse me at all, she will always think my intension are always ill mannered.
"The werewolf would like to know what the plan is." Hayley spoke as she entered to the room, I walked over to pour myself a drink there was far too many women in this house with their hormones.
"Well, that depends what plan you mean, love. My plan for global domination, or Rebekah's plan to find love in a cruel, cruel world." Rebekah takes a pencil from the desk beside her and throws it in my direction, I caught it easily before it can impale my face. My sister and her childish tantrums.
"The plan to rescue Elijah. You know, the good brother. The one who is now in the possession of your mortal enemy after you stabbed him in the back." Hayley spoke bitterly but I knew that was because she had a soft spot for the noble Elijah that was clearly showing on the surface.
"In the front, if we're being specific." I teased and she didn't overly impressed with my mockery.
"You two said that you would get him back. So is there a plan, or what?" She spoke with frustration in her voice then I looked up to see Star entering the room.
"Okay. Well, firstly, Marcel is not my mortal enemy—he's my friend, albeit one who is unaware that I'm trying to sabotage his hold over the supernatural community of the French Quarter, but a friend nonetheless. And secondly, I daggered Elijah in order to gain Marcel's trust. If I had known he would place my brother in the hands of a particularly nasty teenaged witch, I certainly would have weighed my options a bit differently. And thirdly, Star, please." Star and I had discussed about how to retrieve Elijah. She walked further into the room Rebekah and Hayley both watched her as she poured herself a drink, my dear wife seem to have a burned on her shoulders right now.
"And thirdly, the plan, as you have demanded, is for Niklaus to simply ask Marcel for Elijah back." She drained her drink I looked at her for a long moment there was something not right with her, and I intend to find out what it is.
"That's... that's not the whole plan, is it?" Hayley broke me out of my thought and looked at her she didn't seem amused by the notion of simply asking for Elijah back.
"Please, Klaus may be a miserable excuse for a sibling, but there is none more diabolical." Rebekah insulted and compliment me at the same time I couldn't help but smile.
"And that's only the Plan A, love. There's always a Plan B." If it came to it I will action out plan B as much as I didn't want to, but I will not let Elijah rot with some crazy teenage witch.
"And what's Plan B?" Hayley as with worrisome look, I glanced over at Star who knew what length I would go to retrieve what want walk away.
"War." I told Hayley flatly as I perused she was about to leave the front door "Star…" She stopped and turned around.
"Yes Niklaus." I could hear the disappointment in her voice I needed for to understand my reason for going to this possible extreme.
"I do not wish to start a war Star. But I will do whatever it take to get my brother back, and before you say it I handed him over to gain Marcel trust—" Star looked at me for long moment I wish I knew was she was thinking right now.
"I want to know one thing Niklaus. Is this all worth it? Is this all worth to regain what was once yours? To hand over your brother to regain trust? To conspire to be deceitful and destroy anything that get in the way of that?" Star wasn't one to be questioning me for my actions and we had spoken of this all before but it seem that my wife needs reassurance.
"All this. All that I'm to do. To take back what was once mine. Is all for my family Star. It's for you. It for my unborn child. Everything I'm doing may appear to be a selfless act." I watched as her eyes began to glaze over and I began to caress her cheek. "I'm doing this for all of us. All I ask of you is to believe in me." No one else matter what they thought of me or doubted me the only person who I need to know that my action are not of ill intension is her.
"Okay Niklaus." She gave me a gentle kiss on the lips. "I will believe in you." She gave me that smile that always wiped away my worries. "I just need to go into town. But please be careful." She gave me another soft kiss. "I'll call you later. Love you." Before I could say anything she was gone. Well with Star on board with me all I needed was deal with Marcel, now this should be very interesting.
Marcel P.O.V
Everything was perfect for the last hundred years, I had turn New Orleans in to a town that tourist wanted to visit that it had become an attraction that people enjoyed. My town that I turned into a kingdom that I had control, and loyalty by my fellow vampires, the witches on a tight leash. Everything was truly perfect I had finally got New Orleans where it needed to be. Then the Originals all turn up into town that was something I truly thought wouldn't happen, Klaus Mikaelson the man who brought me up as if I was his own son, he made me into the person I'm today. With this unexpected visit he had a woman with him who I hadn't seen since 1919 Star Mikaelson. I don't know why I didn't connect the dots all together when I heard her name for the first time, but I didn't know or think she was the Star Mikaelson that Klaus had mourned over, If I knew that then I wouldn't have done what I did with her. Star Mikaelson a true beauty one of those women that you never truly forget about, even though Rebekah was the one who captured my heart from a young age she had a face of an angel along with her kind persona. With Star it was something different there was something about her that drove a desire within me that I couldn't describe. I hadn't felt that with no other woman even Rebekah, who I did and still truly love more than anything. I just felt bewitched by Star I don't know it was her blue eyes, or the way she look sometimes with that smile, it was all intoxicating. Now knowing she was the woman Klaus was married to and mourned over I can understand why it never got over her. So I was treading on thin ice because if Klaus was to know or even Rebekah I'm dead either way.
So with all of that going on I needed to try and focus on my town and keep thing flowing like they always have been before all of them turned up. So I've arranged a little shin dig at my place tonight you know all the important factor of the community there, just to show I'm still in control from of my people that Klaus turning up isn't going to change that. He is a guest here and that all he will be I know he don't like the idea that I turned all this into something better than he or his family created. Klaus had to suck it up and accept that things are done in my way. Thierry had made it pretty clear to me that he don't like Klaus, and neither did my other guys. With the attack on Thierry and finding out his blood the only way to heal a werewolf bite it got them all on edge. Klaus handed over Elijah as a peace offering which kind of surprise me, I didn't expect him to just hand him over like that but he did.
Davina the girl I save from that ritual where they were going to kill four girl for some harvest ritual, I still recall the look upon her face on that night the fear in her eyes I knew I have to take care of her. Which I have done for the last 8 months I look after Davina as if she was my own family, a good man told me once that blood don't define a family. He was right I've made my family and Davina was an important part of it I wanted to keep her safe from the witches. I will not allow them to use her for some sick ritual, so when I brought Elijah to the attic and told her about what has been going on she was determined to figure out a way to kill an original. That what I loved about her she was just as protective over me. So I met Thierry down at the tailors I was getting fitted for a suit, for tonight even which I knew was going to be a blast. I always knew how to throw a party and it will keep the vampires and humans happy, I looked at myself in the mirror and I was impressed with the way this suit looked on me.
"Damn, I do look good in a suit." Thierry chuckles, then turns to the television there was something about guy and a girl going missing well that weren't the case of course.
"My guy at the docks is gonna come forward as an eyewitness, saying he saw those two drunkenly fall into the Mississippi. They'll be dredging for weeks. No one will come looking around here." Thierry was always two steps ahead he was my right hand man, and had my back no matter what to be honest I don't know if I could of build all of this without him by my side.
"That's good, considering one's dead in a dumpster behind the county morgue and the other one is a vampire now. Anything else?" Thierry was always on top of his game and never hide anything from me, that the kind of respect we had for each other we were like brothers.
"Ow!" The female tailor suddenly pricks her finger on a pin.
"Allow me, darling." I crouched down and takes her finger into my mouth, cleaning the blood off.
"One thing. I sent 4 nightwalkers to look into a werewolf sighting in the Quarter. I haven't heard from them since." That didn't sound right either werewolves in the bayou weren't brave enough to come into the quarter. With another 4 missing that 10 of my people dead something not right here.
"That makes 10 dead nightwalkers in the last week. You think the werewolves are back in town trying to start some trouble?" I question him but the look on Thierry face said something else.
"Look, I know you and Klaus are friends, but the fact is, since the Originals showed up—" Thierry stopped talking as Klaus enters the store.
"Oh, come now, Thierry. You're not still upset about that little, toxic werewolf bite I gave you, are you? I thought we were at bygones." Klaus spoke smugly I knew he was trying to get Thierry back up and it was working because the look upon Thierry face looked like he wanted to kill Klaus. I think he would if we had a way of doing that right now, but Davina working on that little problem right now.
"I see you've given him free rein of your compound now, too." Thierry spoke with annoyance but I had to keep Klaus on side regardless of what happen in recent events I do actually owe Klaus a lot.
"Yes. Well, seeing as my family and I lived here, built the place, in fact—" I had to cut this all off before it all became a little tense these two guys needed to learn to get along right now.
"All right. Come on. You both know the drill. Thierry's my guy, inner circle. Klaus is my old-time friend and sire. He's also a guest here. Peace, all right? All right." I turned to Klaus. "What you need, my brother?" I knew this wasn't a random visit he came here for a reason.
"I'm afraid my sister Rebekah is insisting I demand Elijah's return. She's quite worked up about it." Typical Rebekah throwing a tantrum that didn't surprise me with what she did to my night walkers.
"I'll say." I know what Rebekah about she would go to those length or more, from the Original family she is the deadliest one and they don't even know it.
"We're not gonna have 3 Originals walking around town, are we?" Thierry looked at me then at Klaus. "Half our guys think the sister killed the nightwalkers." This was getting out of hand right now and Thierry was pushing it with Klaus right now.
"Is that an accusation against an Original?" Klaus spoke through his teeth he may be a dick at times, but he will not have anyone speak of his family like that.
"Eh." Klaus goes storms at Thierry, who looks to be ready for a confrontation, but I interceded as none of that was going to go down in my place.
"What did I say about peace?" I said looking to Klaus. "Come on. Walk with me." Klaus smiles smugly at Thierry as I steered him out of the room. We walked out along the balcony of the building.
"You inner circle man lacks a sense of humour." He mocked about Thierry but he didn't know the story behind mine and Thierry friendship.
"He's a little overprotective, but loyal to a fault. I saved his life back in the forties, found him dying of a war wound outside a VA hospital. He'd kill for me, and die for me. Plus, that boy can play the trumpet like you would not believe. Maybe I'll see if he can play a little tonight at the party. You're coming, right?" I wondered if he would come with Star I shook that thought out of my head.
"How can I miss my chance to meet the city councilman as he accepts your gigantic charitable donation?" Klaus spoke smugly he really hated the fact that I turned this town around from the way he left it, well he needed to deal with it because this is all mine and I intend to keep like that.
"Oh, he's a schmuck, but he lets us do our thing in exchange for certain community services, like keeping our fangs out of the locals. Listen, about your brother... I would love to help you out, but Thierry is right. My guys are on edge. They see the Original family moving in, vampires dying, it makes them nervous. If I hand Elijah back now, it might give the wrong impression about who's really in charge here. You know what I mean?" That how it will look to my guys and I didn't want them thinking that Klaus had some control over me. Sire or not I run this town not him but me and I will not hand over his brother not with my guys feeling like this.
"You understand I had to ask." Klaus spoke a little to calmly like the just gave up. I looked at him sceptically for a moment. Was he going to back down? Or did he just ask to shut Rebekah up? I guess I'll just have to see if he truly drops it.
Star P.O.V
Hearing Rebekah utter Davina name I felt my world stop, the fact that Marcel had her made me think what was he even doing with her? That was the only thing that ran through my mind at the time. How could Davina be so powerful to take down Rebekah? I know Ruby family came from long line of witches, and with Sergio background of coming from ianitores line. Davina was going to be something powerful, but not at this age it shouldn't have kicked in till she was 18. So how did she gain all of this power before then? Knowing Marcel had her didn't make me feel any more at ease about any of this. Then with Nik handing over Elijah as a peace offering that annoyed the hell out of me, to keep the peace and show Marcel that he not here to cause trouble. Elijah just wanted to keep the family together, to do what was right for his family. With Nik daggering him like he did I felt it was wrong, but if I showed Nik my displeasure he would only get mad. So after hearing all that Rebekah told us I spoke to him rationally I needed him to think about this family, and if it came down to it that he just needed to ask Marcel for Elijah back. I know Nik wants all of this back, but that what cost? What length is he willing to go? That what is frightening me more than anything.
So with Nik dealing with all the dead bodies I left behind after saving Hayley which I knew he was still angry with me about, but Hayley wasn't thinking straight about any of this. In her mind that tiny person growing in her didn't mean anything for her to go to that length, but I like to think after our conversation she looking at things a lot differently now. I began to see that from when she wanted to know how we were going to get Elijah back, which was simple with just to ask for him back. That all I thought it would need, but it appeared that Nik had a plan B prepared meaning if Marcel didn't hand him over there would be a war. I had to leave the room, because I don't want it all going that route. Nik stopped me and asked if I believe that he was doing all of this for us for his family, as he spoke I knew he was telling me the truth that I couldn't deny, but I just didn't want any more to get hurt in this potential battle that about to come. Deep down I knew that within this battle I will have to play my part, but the one thing that important to me right now is to find Davina. So I needed to find out from a witch what the hell going on, and why Davina in the procession of Marcel without giving too much away.
So I had to go along with Nik and make him think I'm helping him on this quest to bring back his city, so my plan of action is to find Elijah, I will find Davina and I'll be able to take her away from this vampire mess that she been caught up in. I will not let her be some tool for Marcel to use, as the day I took the responsibility of becoming her godmother, I promised Ruby and Sergio that I would do whatever it took to look after that little girl. I'm going to keep to that word. One thing played on my mind though was who would of told the vampires that Hayley was a werewolf. There had to be something behind it, and for her to gain the wolfbane she had to purchase it from the quarter and there was only one shop I knew of that did that. So I called Sophie to meet me in the quarters as she would be the only one who be willing to give information, with her desperation to bring Marcel down. So I told her to meet me outside this witchy shop I had been waiting awhile for her, but then I felt her presence behind me. I turned around and saw Sophie who is approaching on the sidewalk.
"Oh, so glad you could make it. Elijah only lies daggered and rotting whilst you take your time." I had to keep this about getting Elijah back I didn't trust Sophie at all, she was a woman who had a hidden agenda I could sense that.
"You're lucky I came at all. What do you want?" Sophie spoke with annoyance in her voice, and I didn't give a damn if she wanted to be here or not. I needed information and she was my tool to get it.
"Hayley was attacked last night by Marcel's crew, because somebody told him there was a werewolf in the Quarter. She only made one stop. Whoever saw her here ratted her out. Watch and learn." I turned and walked into the shop and Sophie follows, a young girl emerges from a back room with a box, I notice she smiled as soon as she saw Sophie.
"Hey, Soph." The young girl spoke pleasantly I don't know why, but I had this very strong feeling that she was the one who may have told Marcel.
"Hey, Katie." Sophie spoke pleasantly back to her I continued to look around the shop appearing as I was looking for something. I stopped the look at vial searching for wolfbane, which I knew wouldn't been on show I was just waiting for my right moment to start my integrations on her.
"That's filled with marigold—great for attracting the opposite sex. It would look awesome on you." I looked at the necklace it was something I didn't need I had the only man I wanted to be with.
"I'm married so I don't need that. Do you have any others, one with, say—I don't know—wolfsbane, perhaps?" I asked looked up at her, her face looked a little stunned with me asking for that particular herb.
"Wolfsbane? Why would you want that?" I vamped-run at Katie, and held her up by the neck.
"Please no not play dumb with me." I slammed her down on a table I wasn't in any mood to be playing games right now. When it came to Hayley and that baby, and with me getting one step closer to finding Elijah then to Davina nothing or no one will stand in my way.
"Star!" Sophie yelled from behind me I turned to her and she had complete stunned expression and I didn't care what Sophie thought she was only out for herself and her witch community. I'm out to helping my family that all that mattered to me.
"I just sold a werewolf some herbs. That's all." Katie spoke with fear in her voice but I knew she was lying she was the one who had told Marcel people about Hayley.
"Are you lying to me, Katie? I suggest you answer my question honestly." I tighten my grip around Katie throat I wasn't in the mood for games right now.
"Sophie—" Katie pleaded as she choked I think she thought that Sophie will actually do something to stop me well Sophie knows better than that. With the fact that she and Hayley are linked, and with Katie stupid mistake telling Marcel people about Hayley would have screwed up Sophie leverage.
"Just answer the question, Katie, please." Sophie pleaded to her well at least she knew that I wasn't going to back down.
"Yes. I told someone, but you don't understand. I—I love him." I threw Katie down onto the floor violently. I placing the heel of my stiletto directly over Katie's throat threateningly.
"And tell me, who is this vampire Romeo of yours? Shall I count to 3?" She looked at me with the fear of god in her eyes as she finally knew I wasn't playing with her now.
So after getting the information that Katie and Thierry were lovers which took me by surprised as he was one of Marcel inner circle. Marcel didn't like the witches one bit, so how didn't he know about Thierry rendezvous with Katie, with that thought I brought Sophie back to the plantation with me as we needed to do something to find Elijah, but in my eyes to find Davina. I called Nik and Rebekah asked them both to return home as I had further information on this matter, they both arrived very quickly to my surprise, I explained what had happen in the shop. That I found the corrupt responsible for informing of Hayley to Marcel men, now my idea was to bring attention to Katie while did a locator spell to find Elijah. Both Nik and Rebekah seem rather impressed with my way of thinking, Sophie on the other hand was a different story as she would be the one to cast the spell.
"Are you out of your mind? No way!" Sophie spoke with determination in her voice but she needed to understand we needed this, I need this to get Elijah back to Nik and Rebekah, and for me to get Davina and get her the hell away from all of this.
"It's very simple. We need you to perform a teeny, tiny locator spell to help us find Elijah." I spoke to her calmly as I knew if she would continue to say no Nik will take control of the matter, and I know how that would go down.
"Witches who practice magic in this town get caught, and they get killed." That was the real reason why Sophie was scared after what I witness with her sister Jane-Ann maybe asking her was the wrong thing to do. I was about to speak but Nik got in there before me.
"Yes, about that. It seems you left out a crucial detail when we made our deal—Marcel's secret weapon, the way he knows when a witch is using magic." Nik spoke with annoyance I knew he was going to mention about Davina once again before I could say anything Rebekah get up and speaks.
"Girl about yay high, cute as a button, anger issues." Rebekah spoke with sarcasm I turned to Sophie who seems to be in shock.
"Davina? Where have you seen her?" Sophie spoke with panic in her voice, how did she know it was Davina? When the whole community had told me she had die along with her mom. Even Christi only knew of that story so Sophie knew something else of Davina disappearance then.
"I don't know. The little brat erased my memory right after she threw me out a window with her bloody mind." Rebekah walked over and began to pour herself a drink, my eyes didn't move from Sophie as she stood there not saying a word.
"Let me cut to the chase. Davina has Elijah. You witches, I assume, want to get Davina away from Marcel. We don't know where she is. Ergo, we need magic." I could see that Nik was going to lose his temper soon with Sophie, but I knew I had to get to Davina before any of this witches could. Why would Davina turn on her own people there had to be a reason behind it all?
"Davina would sense it." Sophie defended back well I knew the solution to that little problem there.
"Unless, of course, another witch—say, a traitor to the cause, Katie for example—was to perform much more powerful magic at the same time. That would create a smokescreen, concealing your very small spell from Davina." Sophie looked at me horrified, but this was the only option right now. Katie didn't give a damn about Hayley life last night so why the hell should I care about hers right now. All that matter we get Elijah back and I get Davina out of this mess that she is in.
"Katie doesn't deserve to die." Sophie snaps back at me, Nik angrily slams his hands on the table and stands up.
"Sophie Devereaux. You're in no position to be so principled. You can't win a war without a few strategic losses, no matter how regrettable they may be. How many times have the vampires been one step ahead, known something they shouldn't? Your sister, executed in the public square for practicing magic, who knew she'd be caught? Did she even attempt to flee?" I watched as Sophie face began to fill with sorrow, even with my humanity off I recall that day how Marcel public executed Jane-Ann like that it was immorally wrong. Just to show that he had the power to control them that power all along was Davina an innocent young girl.
"She was caught hiding in a cargo hold of a freighter before it set sail down the Mississippi." When she said that it all began to register in my mind who had told on Jane-Ann.
"And who, pray tell, of Marcel's valued inner circle manages his business at the docks?" Sophie looked at me for a moment and it was like it all hit her as it did me.
"Katie's boyfriend, Thierry." Sophie looked stunned by the realisation that the person she considered a friend had told on Sophie dead sister. That if that didn't happen Jane-Ann would be safe right now. With Sophie knowing this information will she finally help us with this cause?
Damon P.O.V
New Orleans hasn't really turned out how I expected I didn't think I'll be involved in something that involved the originals, and this mix up with this Marcel dick. That what he was a dick, I don't get how this one guy has control of this beautiful city what I didn't get any of it, and I didn't want to understand any of it. My only reason for being here is for Star to make a fresh start from the craziness Mystic Falls, and I do have to say I'm not missing that place at all. There was too much going on here for me to even think about what going on back there. The Originals do not mess around when they want something there determined. Klaus the dick handed over Elijah like it was nothing so that he could show the peace, now he wanted me to help him get into the circle that Marcel had. I had nothing else better to do so I thought to help out, because I believed that Klaus was doing all this for Star and this mini hybrid baking in the she wolf oven. From yesterday I've been seeing a difference to the hybrid, and all I'm wanting is for Star to finally be happy and be with the guy she loves. Even if I don't approve of her choices, I will help Klaus in any way to get the happiness that Star deserves, because in reality that was the one thing we agreed on, so he want to take back what once was his I'm in.
So Klaus had me deal with this new recruit called Josh and I'm telling you he could have picked someone better than some gay guy who don't have a clue. So I was giving him Vamp 101 Klaus has already compelled him to report back to him with any kind of information. Then he wanted me to take down another of Marcel men which I didn't mind at all, so I had to teach Josh how to drain a vampire of vervain. Of course when Klaus came he wasn't too pleased with Josh attempts of using a pitch fork to drain this guy. So after Klaus little bitch about that he asked me to join him, well anything was better than being in the company of this douche Josh. So on are way to Marcel place Klaus told me about his plan how Star found out who was the one who told Marcel men about Hayley. I wolf was stupid to even attempt something like that, okay she carrying some miracle baby. One thing I have seen with these three originals and including Star they will help and protect her no matter what, I have to admit I admire them all for that because that Hayley girl really don't get it that they will not let anything happen to her or that child.
We arrived at Marcel compound of course Klaus and Marcel were kissing each other's asses, there was distinctive disliking they had for each other, but I didn't understand why they tolerated it. I get that Klaus sired Marcel, then again Katherine sired me and I have no respect for that woman. So what the true history behind these two? I notice that Marcel number one Thierry playing his trumpet in the courtyard he was pretty good at it.
"You're right. He's good." Klaus spoke surprisingly to Marcel who stood there with a goofy smile god I wanted to slap that smile off his face.
"Right? Music man, I call him. Ladies love him, but he's spoken for. He knocks around with this pretty little witch, says he loves her, but I don't know." Marcel continued to look at Thierry as he continued to play. Hold up Marcel hates the witches and his number one is screwing around with one?
"Hold up your number one is fraternizing with your enemy, and you don't care?" I questioned him Marcel looked at me and all the amusement left his face, he glanced at Klaus who was looking at him amused and wanted to know the answer just like me.
"Well, of course I care, but Thierry is a grown man. He makes his own choices, and I get some good Intel. Besides, he's not gonna do anything to jeopardize what we're doing here." Marcel trusted this guy that much then to believe all that very interesting. "I mean, check this out—a vampire hosting a ritzy charity event. We have a community here. No one's gonna mess that up." Well that's what you think Marcel because thing in your little perfect town is all gonna change.
"Still... You don't want the witches to get too bold, given that a witch's tip about a werewolf in town led to the disappearance of your nightwalkers. I'm sure you've considered the possibility that it could've been a trap." Klaus added Marcel face harden and this was all working just as Klaus said it would, I do have to say the evil one knows how to manipulating this guy.
"Well, maybe I'll send a little message." Marcel smirked then turned to his friend. "Thierry! Take a team of nightwalkers to the Cauldron tonight, do a little rousting... Oh, and Thierry? Make it nasty." It all worked out just as Klaus said it would looks like the plan he got in mind gonna work then. Klaus and I went back to the plantation I had to admit we worked well as a team, and this should please Star which I notice wasn't home. Apparently she had go out to get a dress for this event that Marcel throwing tonight, and he wanted me to come along too. I wasn't too keen on the idea but he informed me with what was going down right now with the witch, he didn't want Marcel thinking I was part of it. Klaus caring for me I'm stunned, but he had a point if Marcel see me at this party then no fingers will be pointed at me. So all I had to do was sit back and watch the show.
Klaus P.O.V
I was thoroughly impressed with Star action today going back to that witchy shop and finding out who was person that informed Marcel men on the little wolf, her tactic and her plan on using this Katie girl as a smoke screen while Sophie would do a tracking spell to find my brother Elijah. Well I knew I had to get the wheels in motion to get something to make the witch Katie real riled up Marcel didn't take much persuading, with help from my wingman Damon. I have to admit Damon has proven to be a great deal of help to me, I like the way his mind works and how he manipulates Marcel mind that is a skill I do need on my side. With tonight events happening I needed everyone to be in view of Marcel so he wouldn't suspect that any of us have any involvement in what happening down at the cordons. I went to get myself prepared for this evening event, as I walked into the room I saw my beautiful wife sitting by the dresser doing her hair. I approached her and kissed her shoulder which made her jump slightly.
"Vision I beauty as always sweetheart." She turned to face me and smiled there was something about Star with one glance at her and all the stress and worry just fades away.
"Hey…" he gave me a soft kiss on the lips for a moment then pulled away, I notice that she didn't' look right a little pale which was unusual considering she a vampire.
"Sweetheart are you ok?" I touched her forehead and she seemed a little colder than usual. "You are freezing Star." I help her up to her feet. "Maybe we shouldn't attend—" Star cut me off.
"Nik, I'm fine baby." she wrapped her arms around my neck "I do love when you get concerned about me, but I'm fine I promise you." She kissed my cheek and leans into my ear. "I don't miss tonight for nothing." She gets out of my grasp before walking over to the bed, and dropped her dressing gown exposing her black lace underwear which made her even more tempting to me. "Will you zip me up?" Star broke me out of my thoughts, I walked over and zip up the black dress that she was wearing for tonight. She turned to me. "Please don't worry about me. Tonight about exiting that plan." Before I could protest Star had left the room. I had gotten ready for this party and shortly after we arrived at the party. Star and I were arm in arm, taking in the dark, wild atmosphere. Acrobats perform, dancers handle exotic animals, and confetti falls glittering upon the party guests.
"Well, this certainly is a fitting backdrop for tonight's events, I must say." Star turned to me and smiled, I spotted Rebekah approaching us with a smile. Something caught my eye it was the barmaid that Marcel likes that Christi girl, I notice that the smile on Star face fell.
"What's she doing here?" Star spoke as she looked over at Christi, why would Star be concerned about the barmaid being here?
"What better way to distract Marcel than to put his very human, new girl in a room chock full of vampires?" Rebekah spoke smugly I liked the way she was thinking he would be far too distracted with watching over Christi to notice anything else.
"I need a drink." I heard Star say and she walked away and approached the bar where Christi was.
"What up with her?" Rebekah asked a little annoyed with Star reaction to Christi being here.
"She not quite herself right now. If you excuse me sister." I walked away from Rebekah and notice Star and Christi talking.
"Is he the infamous—" Christ began to ask and I intervened
"Husband, actually, and my wife is right. You do look stunning." I wrapped my arm around Star waist and Christi looked between the both of us.
"You clean up pretty well yourself." I could see why Marcel and Damon were both taken by the young lady, but she didn't hold a candle to my Star
"Well, don't be fooled, love. I'm the devil in disguise." I teased her. "Do you might if I steal my wife for a dance?" I was still concerned about the way appeared right now even with the smiles there was something and I sense it, I guided her to the dance floor we both began to dance. "Did I mention you looked exquisite, no one looks as stunning as you do in this room." A playful smile appeared on her face.
"Mr Mikaelson, such a smooth talker" Star legs gave way and I caught her in time. "Whoa." I held to her tightly as she couldn't hold her balance. What was wrong with her? Why was she behaving like this?
"Star I'm taking you home." I didn't care for this performance of tonight, yes I wanted Elijah back, but even he would understand that Star comes first.
"Klaus I'll take her." I heard Damon voice beside me I turned to him his face was filled with as much concern as mine. "I'll take her home. You deal with all this." He helped Star to her feet she didn't look right whatsoever, the way she looked right now was the same as that night when I thought I lost her. The night when my word came crashing down and I thought she had died. I couldn't leave her like this.
"Damon I do appreciate the gesture—" Star stopped me from him talking.
"Nik its fine. Damon will take me home. You need to be here." I wanted to protest but the look upon her face I knew I couldn't argue with her, no matter how much that I wanted to.
"Fine as you wish." I turned to Damon "You make sure she rest." I learned into his ear "Get a witch to the house. Find out what is wrong with her." I moved away and Damon nodded. I watched as they both walked away could I really execute with the plan tonight knowing there something clearly wrong with Star. Can I really continue with this hunger of getting back what mine knowing that there something wrong with her? Can I continue with tonight charade at her request for my family for me to regain control once again?
Star P.O.V
I had been feeling a little strange since leave Katie shop like hot and cold flushes which was really strange considering I'm dead, I shouldn't be having those kind of feelings. So I pushed it all to one side and got myself prepared for tonight party, I just hoped with the plan that Nik and Damon had schemed up was going to work. I didn't care for this Katie girl, and what was about to happen to her or to anyone involved to get this this location spell done. As selfish as it sounds getting Elijah back and finding Davina is all that mattered to me right, now nothing else. So if there causality along the way that how it has to be. Niklaus was a little concerned about me that was didn't look to well I didn't feel that great to be going out to party, but I wanted to be there for Nik. As I knew deep down he need my support through this with knowing what Marcel meant to him once. So regardless of how I was feeling I was going to be there for him because that what any supportive partner would do.
We ended up going to the party and Marcel really did out do himself the place looked amazing, one person I didn't expect at the party was to see Christi, and looks like that Rebekah was using her as a tool to play with Marcel. I wasn't happy about that at all so I needed to get Christi to leave, before our conversation got cut with Nik interrupting she informed me that she was faking the compulsion that she knew that Marcel had Davina, and need to get close to him. She was willing to do whatever it took to get Davina back to, but before I could tell her what was happening Nik came and my opportunity was gone. While Nik and I were dancing I became overwhelmed with a strange feeling like I was going to pass out. Nik was concerned of course and so was I deep down I was worried too, Nik was ready to give up on his plan to make sure I was brought home and that I was ok. Luckily for me Damon came and assured him that he would take care of me, I knew Nik was a little unsettled with this but I convinced him I would be okay.
The journey home Damon kept on checking I was ok, and I wasn't, I felt nausea like I wanted to puke one second I was hot then I was cold I just didn't know what was going on. When we arrived at the plantation Damon got out of the car and then helped me out. My legs felt like jelly as I lost my balance Damon caught me before I hit the floor.
"What the hell wrong with you?" Damon spoke with concern as scooped me up in his arms I could see all the concern upon his face.
"I don't know. I feel strange Damon." That how I felt like I was sick or something like having some kind of flue or illness.
"Right I'm taking you to bed." Damon didn't used his super speed take me into the house.
"What wrong with Star?" I heard Hayley with slight worry in her voice that was something I never thought I would hear.
"I'm fine. Damon I can walk." I tried to get out his arms, but he gave me that determined look "Damon Salvatore I said put me down." I told him firmly Damon sighed and placed me down I held on to the bust of the stair case to get my balance. I looked up and saw a woman approaching behind Hayley. " Wh-who she…" I felt a little light headed as I spoke.
"Star you don't look good. Can vampires get sick?" Hayley spoke in a panic, she was right vampires couldn't get sick I've been around them for the better half of my life.
"Bring her into the parlour and lay her down." The unknown woman requested before I could protest Damon had scoped me up, and brought me into the parlour and placed me on the couch.
"Who are you? And what are doing here?" I asked my head was pounding not like what the witches would give you an aneurysm it was different. The light was hurting my eyes I felt like I wanted to be sick this is a feeling of my inside turning my blood ran clod through me.
"I'm Sabine, and I'm a witch." She place her hands on either side of my head I began to get flashes of my mother and father, then of Alana I didn't know what was going on. She moved her hands away and turned to Damon and Hayley. "You need to get Klaus here now." Damon rushed off without saying a word.
"Wh-what w-w-wrong w-with me…" I felt like a lump building up in my throat as if I was going to be sick, before I knew it I began to puke up blood, my vision began to blur I had no control over my body. I looked at Sabine for help but then I felt light headed then saw darkness.
Klaus P.O.V
Star had left me very worrisome with the way she was the way she looked so pale, I wanted to be able to take her home and be there for her and find out what was wrong with her. She insisted that I should stay to finish what we started, this didn't sit with me well at all but I knew that Damon would take care of her, and if she was to worsen than he would let me know. So I had to keep the smile going and continue with how tonight events will happens. I watched as Marcel danced with that Christi, he was quite taken by her that was clear. The way he tried to woo her with his words wasn't working, there was something about this girl that I liked she wasn't one to be played with and she knew Marcel game. I know how Marcel mind works he will see this Christi as a challenge that she playing hard to get. I think my sister has gotten the right person to distract him for sure I wonder if she can be used for further services.
Diego interrupted the love birds and asked to speak to Marcel in private, Diego told Marcel the news that Thierry had killed one of their own. Just how I knew it would go down the vampire I had Damon and Josh drain of vervain then I was able to compel him. He did do his job exactly how I asked him to, that he was meant to attack Katie shop to disregard Thierry orders. I continued to watch as Thierry approached Marcel but it appeared that Marcel didn't want to hear any of it. I watched as more of Marcel's men lead Thierry out of the party and out onto the street. Where a small crowd of more vampires watch Katie approach from down the street, chanting I continued to watch the events unfold from a window above.
"Katie, no!" Thierry shouted as he watched his beloved work up quite a storm, as she knew Marcel would put Thierry down for harming one of his own.
"Like clockwork." I said to myself I wouldn't help but smile as this was the moment where Sophie will be doing that locator spell and I will finally have my brother and maybe that secret weapon too. Katie waves her arm and a lamp's light explodes; all the vampires grab at their heads, falling down in pain. Marcel alone rises back up to face Katie, but she smashes another light with magic and Marcel goes down again.
"You're here to save your man. Well, come on, little girl!" He growls as he runs to attack Katie, but she halts him with magic, and he falls down groaning. Katie lifts a wooden stake above Marcel.
"Die, you son of a bitch." She spoke venomously to Marcel well I think now was the time for me to play hero.
"No! Katie! Don't!" Thierry shouted, just at that moment I swooped in and snaps Katie's neck. She fell to the ground, dead Thierry crawls over to Katie's body.
"No. Katie. No, no, no, no." He sobs over her body, cradling her, every war has to have casualty and it appears that Katie was the one for tonight.
Thierry was left for a moment to morn over this beloved it had all planned out with Katie performing such magic would give Sophie enough time to find Elijah. I couldn't stand back and let her harm Marcel, we may not see eye to eye but would not let anyone harm him. Marcel men took Thierry back into the compound into the under cellar known as the garden. They chained him up against a wall Marcel stood across from him looking displeased. I walked out went into the court yard the part was over I was in two minds about going home I was concerned about Star. But if things had worsen surly Damon would I contacted? I couldn't stay here any longer I was about to leave as I turned I came face to face with Marcel.
"How much did Christi see?" Marcel asked with concern he really was taken by this young girl, I wanted to walk away from him and see how Star was. Seeing Marcel like this being upset I didn't not like that I needed to assure him that it wasn't as bad as it seemed.
"She just saw an argument, mate. It's nothing you can't fix. You really like her, don't you?" I asked looked back at him he gave me a small smiled.
"I like that she's not a part of any of this. Sometimes it's good to see the world the way the humans do." He spoke with sorrow in his voice but what happened tonight needed to be done I needed to push to aside this feeling of guilt as it will not help me get back what is mine.
"I am sorry about Thierry, you know? I can tell he was a good friend." That was the reason why I went for Thierry that he was so close to Marcel like a brother. The one person that Marcel wouldn't think to betray him.
"I made him what he was. Obviously, my trust was misplaced." Marcel drained his drink I looked down from the balcony, and saw a very worried Damon indicating to we needed to talk.
"Doesn't make it easier. Marcel unfortunately I have to leave Star will be wondering where I am." I began to walk away but Marcel grab hold of my arm, I turned to him.
"You saved me tonight. I guess I owe you one. You asked for your brother back. Seems like the least I can do." Marcel spoke genuinely I nodded my head that was the last thing I expect to hear Marcel tell me. I walked away from him and made my way outside where Damon stood next to his car looking annoyed.
"Klaus its Star." Before he could even explain I used my vampire speed to get back the Plantation. So many things ran through my mind what could of happen to her. Why did I listen to her? I shouldn't have stayed, I will not forgive myself if anything happened to her. I arrived and bust threw the doors to come face to face with Hayley.
"Where is she?" Hayley stood there with a stunned expression. "Little wolf, where is my wife?" I growled at her I wasn't in the mood to play any games right now.
"Nik…" I heard Rebekah voice from the top of the stair. "She in your room." I rushed up the stairs passing Rebekah went straight into the room, to see Star was out cold on the bed my attention went to the witch tour guild Sabine next to her.
"What has happened to her?" I looked at my Star who laid there with her skin looking as white as snow she appear to be barely breathing.
"Klaus when Star came home she was in a bad way." I turned to the witch. "I found this on her wrist." Sabine turned Star right arm over exposing on her wrist a mark. "That symbol is from ianitores line they use a different kind of magic. Klaus. Star is in transition." I turned to Sabine trying to go over the over transitioning in my mind.
"Transitioning into what? What have these ianitores done to my wife?" I got up and grabbed her the throat and super sped her to the wall "Talk Sabine!" I threaten her while she was chocking.
"S-s-she transitioning back to being human." I let go of her and turned back to Star who was laying on the bed unconscious. I focused on her for a moment and I could hear a rapid heartbeat coming from her. Could this be true Star was now human?
