Chapter 27: The Kids Aren't Alright
Charlotte walked through the coven's main space which was an old run down church in Algiers. A lot of people didn't know it was even occupied as it was in a bad neighborhood and very run down. She walked past the little circles of "friends" near the alter up front. She yanked the curtain from the giant stain glass window. The sunlight poked through and the color began to fill the room awaking their guests.
"Rise and shine, I'll move you in a second, hold on a moment"
She could hear the sizzling begin and that was a cue to move them. Charlotte stared at the tool in front of her before moving over. Both Rebekah and Gia began to whine and scream almost simultaneously. Jake's eyes snapped open after hearing them then looked away quickly due to the light being so bright. Charlotte stepped over pulling both vampires out of the sun.
"If you were wondering, your day rings don't work because we put a spell on them. If your friends found you, the only one to get out would be the cutie over there"
She pointed over to Jake as the girls wounds began to heal. She waved at him before walking behind Rebekah. She made sure the rope was secure even though the spell bound them to the chair. She did the same for the others.
"Not to be weird or anything but…I understand that I am a hostage and they are vampires and I'm a human with human tendencies but, never mind"
Charlotte perked an eyebrow leaning up from his chair.
"Don't worry; those two will get blood in 45 minutes once Ezra returns back. We'll give you meat or whatever you werewolves like to eat. You do get a bathroom break dog"
She smirked at him and apparently found the situation amusing. Today she had more sass to her character from head to toe. That confidence wasn't something that you just looked over. Her exotic look of course made her stand out from the others. She wore a floor length dress which was yellow and orange making her match the sun. She waved at all of them and said no more. Stepping outside of the church, she left the three to sit there.
"Who the hell was that?" Gia asked clearly annoyed.
"She's a witch from Algiers"
"How do you know that?" It was now Rebekah's question.
"Because they came into the swamp and attacked my pack. I saw her and that's an obvious on who she is. I just don't know why I'm here along with you two, scratch that yes I do"
Gia then remembered Angelique at the party a while back. Now she began adding up the pieces knowing that they are in the same coven. None of them really knew who each other were; well Gia and Rebekah did at least. Jake was a mystery to both of them so they turned to him for answers.
"If you two keep staring at me for food, I suggest you stop" He rubbed his cheek on his shoulder.
"I'm just wondering who you are. I know Gia here she is Elijah's…Whatever you two call each other. I know you're a wolf but what do you have to do in this equation?"
"I'm here because of Violet and probably Marcel. I'm the one who got the witch for them to destroy Klaus. I probably shouldn't have told you that…Anyway; they know I have connections to her"
"Are you the guy she was going to run off with? Yeah, she told me about you"
Rebekah tilted her head looking between Gia and Jake. Not like she cared but heard about Violet loving some guy who wasn't "allowed" in Marcel's terms. Not really knowing the whole story she wasn't quick to judge. The girls may not get along but she felt like she could connect on that level with Violet.
"Why don't we just try and figure out a way to get out of here?"
"So you are sure this is going to work?"
Mikael stood on the opposite side of the long table across from the witches. The four, Ezra, Cairus, Charlotte and Angelique who stood in the middle. She smiled at him and removed the cloth of over a wooden stake.
"We only have to say a few more spells over it and you should be able to kill Klaus Mikaelson with this. And you know as well as I, that means it destroys every vampire he has created as well. We're doing each other a favor"
Angelique tried to offer a warm smile but Mikael remained emotionless. She nodded to the others to finish what needed to be done. He backed away crossing his arms waiting for it. He was interested on how this was going to play out because he had a feeling that Marcel and Violet would step in. It wasn't like he couldn't compel or take them down easily. He listened to the witches reciting Haitian before it got quiet in the attic.
"And there you have it, the weapon to destroy your enemies. Any of them as a matter of fact"
He looked over as Charlotte picked up the prized possession. She stepped over to Mikael and handed it out slowly. He took it in his hand and felt the edges of it carefully.
"And you are sure that this is going to work?"
"I checked with the ancestors on everything and it should be fine. You kill one Original, you kill the entire line…It was a pleasure doing business with you"
Angelique and the others smiled knowing that they did their job well. They wouldn't be as powerful anymore but all the Originals, well probably only Klaus would be history. Before stepping out, he noticed Cairus was the only one that wasn't as happy as the others. He just glanced between the others and him with a serious expression.
