Sorry it has taken so long to update. I had writers block at the beginning of the week, and then my internet wasn't working. I already started the next chapter so hopefully I will be able to get that posted on Monday.
This chapter isn't what I originally planned on happening, but I think you will like it. Let me know!
Rebekah walked down the street glad that Klaus had given her the freedom to be in Chicago without him by her side all day. She knew how to handle herself, and as long as she didn't leave the boundary, she would be fine. And it was Daytime so most of the usual threats were not present.
Rebekah was headed to a planning meeting for the women's group that she attended the dinner party with Stefan. It was a few days after the dinner party and they were going to begin planning the ball. Rebekah was excited because she wanted to show the women how well she was with events. Then maybe in the future she would be allowed to plan the events without their help.
"Miss Mikealson, it's so good to see you," said Dorothy, the president of the group. They decided to meet at a tea room in the middle of the business district. The room was wallpapered with a pink and green pattern. The celling was white and it has flowers designed into it. Rebekah thought that the place looked very nice, but she thought that not many men would enter since it was very feminine.
"Please, call me Rebekah," Rebekah said sitting down. She was glad to see that she was not the last one there; another spot was still open. They were sitting at a table made up for five people.
"We are still waiting for Mary Beth." A blonde next to Rebekah said. "My name is Sally Moss. I wasn't at the dinner party the other day, but I heard much about you."
"It's a pleasure," Rebekah said. She hoped that the things Sally had heard were all pleasant. Hopefully the women weren't upset that she brought Stefan; maybe she wouldn't bring him to the next dinner party they had.
Mary Beth shortly arrived, and so the meeting began.
When it was over they had decided on where they were going to host the ball. Sally wanted it to be on a rooftop so they could see the stars, and Rebekah agreed that it would be exciting and different. Dorothy thought that it would be too exotic so she made the final decision that it would be at the grand ballroom.
Rebekah understood that it would make the most sense to be held there, but more people would like to see the stars. Rebekah hoped that perhaps the next event could take place under the stars.
The women also made a list of who should be invited. Rebekah didn't really know anyone to suggest since she was still new in town. She did tell them that her brother was very well connected and she would talk to him about getting some more businessmen and their wives to attend. The women appreciated that because businessmen meant more money for their charity.
Rebekah was pleased with all of the decisions. She liked the women; Rebekah felt as though they would be fast friends.
Klaus slipped the back door of Gloria's. The witch wasn't expecting him, but Klaus wanted to see if she had any progress.
Gloria was working in her private room. Her eyes were closed and she was chanting with her hands held over a pile of spices. The candles around the room were all lit making the room inviting.
"Witch," Klaus said.
The candles went out and the room became cold.
"What?" Gloria said looking up. She was upset that he interrupted her spell. She was almost down creating the herbs that would help her create a truth spell. She planned on using the herbs and putting them in someone's drink in order to find out the truth. She didn't believe that she needed them that second, but Gloria did want them in future.
"What are you working on?" Klaus asked. He came farther into the room.
Before she responded she relit some of the candles in the room.
"That is none of your business," she said. "Can I help you with something, Klaus?"
"I just wanted to make sure that the boundary spell was still up," Klaus said. He walked over to a chair and sat down. He kicked his feet up onto a nearby table.
"Yes, it is. When it falls you will feel it, the magic will fall down all around the city."
Klaus considered this. Would he really be able to feel the magic even though he wasn't magical?
"Can you do a location spell?" Klaus asked.
"Yes, it is an easy spell," Gloria sounded insulted. "Do you have an item from the person you are searching for?"
"No," Klaus said he stood up and walked to look at one of the book shelves, his back was towards Gloria.
Surely in one of these books there is a location spell that doesn't require an object that belongs to Mikael, Klaus thought.
Gloria thought about his options.
"I could contact the spirits. They might give me help on how to contact someone without a personal belonging," Gloria said. She wasn't sure if the spirits would help her because she was working with Klaus, but she thought the information would still be valuable nevertheless.
"Go ahead," Klaus said. He wanted her to contact the witches right away.
He spotted a book on a shelf labeled "Creaturae Noctis Lunam et Praecones" it was Latin for "Night Creatures and Moon Criers". He pulled it off the shelf to have a better look at it. It was beaten and battered. The cover was loose and the pages were turning yellow.
Gloria began the spell as Klaus began to read. It was nothing special; it was mainly folklore and fantasy about the two supernatural creatures. What Klaus did find interesting was a little poem in the book:
Natus ex sanguine alieno.
Post mortem Transfiguered
Totum sacrificium.
Lunam et Sanguine
Coniuncti per spiritum.
Diabolus tamquam malum.
Eduxit ad lucem
In virtute
Angeli.
Klaus translated it and realized that it was about him. It talked about his curse and how he won't be a true hybrid until the curse is broken from sacrifice.
The part that confused him was the end. It said that he was the devil and he would be brought to the good side by an angel. Did it mean a real angel? Klaus wondered. No that can't be right, there is no such thing.
There were scribbling's on the side of the poem that he could not read.
"Klaus," Gloria said. She was finished talking to the spirits. "There is another way to contact someone."
"Before that, did you write this?" Klaus asked pointing to the words hand written into the book.
"No, I found that book in the basement of a building in Chicago when I first moved here. I have not touched it since I put it on the shelf. Someone else put the words there."
Klaus wanted to find out more about the book. He would bring it home and read the rest of it looking for clues.
"What did you learn from the witches?" Klaus said.
"They said I could use an object from the beloved as long as I am connected to the person by blood."
"Clarify that," Klaus said. "I need an object from Mikael's beloved and blood from someone that he is related to?"
"Yes, I believe so," Gloria said. "I can perform the location spell as soon as you bring be the objects I require."
"Fine I will be back later," Klaus said.
He left the building hoping that Rebekah would be able to help with the spell. He was almost sure that the necklace she always wore was from the original witch. It would hopefully be enough to work.
The poem in English is:
Born from blood of another,
Transfigured till death,
Sacrifice made whole.
Moon and blood;
United by spirit.
Evil as the Devil.
Brought to light
By the power
Of an angel.
I am a HUGE Klaroline fan so in my mind they end up together, so Caroline is the Angel in the Poem.
Hope you enjoyed it!
