Chapter 22: May I have this dance?

The compound was decorated beautifully full of white roses, lights and of course people. Marcel and Violet thought it would be best to meet with Davina's coven to make terms on the other witches. If they got along fine, they would have an ally and that was something he needed. He scanned the room to make sure they were all witches and nobody else. He had Josh and Gia keeping their eyes on the door.

"I still say we should have thrown a Halloween party"

Violet snuck up behind Marcel with two glasses of champagne in her hands. He took one and gave her a look over. She looked exceptionally beautiful tonight in a sparkling emerald floor length gown. It brought out the color of her eyes perfectly. A slit on the side showed off one of her pale legs and her hair was tied into a side bun. He hadn't seen her in any sort of dress since the 1990s. Violet took a sip before looking at him.

"What? Is it that bad that I wanted a costume party?"

"No it's not that…You look beautiful tonight Violet" She looked away and smiled but tried to keep that hidden. Glancing towards the ground, she saw footsteps coming their way.

"Did I hear the words costume party? I could have worn those famous angel wings again"

Cami smiled, she also did look beautiful in a full length pale aqua blue color. The two girls complimented each other before she ventured off to find Davina. Violet took Marcel's arm as they wandered through the compound courtyard and greeted the guests.

"Well don't you two look lovely tonight. I do hope I'm not crashing this little party"

Elijah stepped over and they both looked over at the same time. Violet took a drink as Marcel shook his head no in response. In all honestly, they hoped the Originals weren't going to show up but they had that feeling that they were going to be there.

"You look nice yourself Elijah. Tell me, is it a new suit? Gia told me about your famous collection" She smiled and now Marcel took a drink.

"And what about me?" Klaus approached with a grin.

"If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. Excuse me"

Violet stepped away from the three boys and made her way through the supernatural crowd. They all looked after her before turning to each other. They made boring conversation before she returned back with two drinks for the Mikaelsons.

"I hope you two don't mind but I brought a few guests"

Klaus took a drink and pointed over to the door. A group of men walked inside and past Josh and Gia who both looked equally surprised. Marcel rolls his eyes and looked away in complete annoyance. It was bad enough the Originals were there, adding werewolves into the mix was just creating a whole another problem.

"What are they doing here? Let alone, what are you doing?" Violet asked.

"Well I know we haven't been on the best of terms lately considering that I handed you my city. Actually, you called Mikael who chased us all out excluding Rebekah. So now I'm back in town but don't worry, I won't attempt to get the city back"

"Speaking of, where is Mikael?"

"And since I'm part of the witch problem, I thought you could use a few allies. I gathered up some of the wolves and asked them to join us. We're one big team now so if you get Davina's side to agree, then you can have all types of partners, what do you say?"

Klaus knew better than to answer the question about Mikael. They honestly didn't know where he was since they led him on a path for him to believe. Marcel finally looked at him and shook his head. Violet leaned over and whispered something to him; both Originals couldn't pick it up.

"Look, I get that sending Mikael after you was wrong but this is problem and my city. I don't want anything to do with the wolves. My only concern now is the witches after seeing what they've done to the both of you. I cannot imagine them doing anything else" It was true. He had that feeling that in the long run the wolves were going to become a problem again if he worked with them. They'd become a problem anyway actually.

"And the hell if I'm going to work with mangy dogs"

"I was talking to Marcellus here love; you aren't a factor in this"

Violet smiled and took a long drink of her champagne. Elijah cleared his throat and looked between both parties; he was hoping this wasn't going to turn into a blood bath.

"What he means Marcel is that he just wants revenge on the witches who did this as well. Whatever you have planned, we thought that we all could work on it then after all is done, we can peacefully live in the city as one"

"New Orleans is too much for me to take on. I give you free reign of the city, we'll just be here doing what needs to be done and raising my daughter. What do you say? Do we have deal?"

Before he could answer, they all turned their attention to the clicking of a glass. Up on the balcony stood a female who looked similar to Annalynn and that's when it popped into both Marcel and Violet's mind. The witch coven was Annalynn's, the Algiers coven.

"Good evening everyone, my name is Angelique Beauvoir. I wanted to personally congratulate Marcel Gerard on getting the city back that rightfully belongs to him"

Her deep brown eyes scanned the crowd and when she found him, she tipped her glass to him. He watched her carefully not understanding who she was or what she was doing. She had jet black hair which was tied into a tight bun. Her skin was a perfect shade of brown and the white dress glowed off of her body. Everyone in the entire compound had their eyes on her.

"I just wanted to show my respect to the King of the Quarter so if everyone would"

Angelique placed the glass to her lips and took a drink. Gia and Josh looked towards Marcel wondering if he was going to want them to do anything. They all knew that she wasn't from Davina's coven and she probably was from the rival witch coven. All the witches, vampires and werewolves took a drink but the four knew better. Marcel, Violet, Klaus and Elijah all flickered their eyes between each other but Elijah was first to take a drink.

"It wouldn't be bad if you all could show a little respect to her"

They all thought it over but Klaus looked back at Angelique. She smiled at him and took another drink.

"And how do we not know that this is a trap?"

"Well then Elijah is the first one to go"

Violet made light of the situation and took a drink. Marcel shrugged his shoulders following her lead. Klaus was the last to drink. After they all were done, they still gave each other a bewildered look.

"Well maybe I guessed wrong, just taking a little precaution"

Violet coughed lightly and placed her hand over her mouth. Angelique set her drink down and still stared at the four of them. It was almost as if they were in a spotlight but everyone else went back to what they were doing. She coughed again and dropped the champagne glass that was in her other hand. The boys turned their attention to her quickly.

"Maybe I spoke a little too soon, Violet, what's wrong?" Klaus asked hardly seeming concerned.

"Vi?"

Elijah saw blood begin to creep through her hands and she fell onto her knees quickly. Before Marcel could check on her, he gripped his chest in pain. On the white shirt under his tuxedo was a blood spot getting bigger by the second. He yelled in pain as he fell just like Violet. Josh and Gia ran over but focused more of their attention on the mysterious woman. They pushed through the crowd who now was turning their way. By the time they reached the top…She was gone.

"Marcel, Violet? Guys, what is going on?"

Davina rushed over but not before the domino effect happened. A crunch filled the air and it was Klaus's bones beginning to break. Screaming in agony, he fell to the floor…And down went Elijah. He and Marcel sported almost the same spot due to Elijah being stabbed in the chest by Mikael all those centuries ago.

"Davina can't you stop this somehow?" Josh yelled down in concern.

"If you don't stop Klaus, he's going to be a werewolf and try to kill every vampire and probably your witches here too!" Gia called out.

But there was nothing she could. She didn't even understand what they were going through. And at that time, they were only suffering the same fate they did when they were human.
