Violet had been a woman on a mission the entire morning. She was planning to speak with Davina without anyone figuring what she was going to do. Klaus was busy taking care of Cami, Elijah and Marcel was doing something with the Strix and Alexander had to go back to the wolves. That left her alone with nothing better to do. She still didn't trust the Strix or their motives so she was figuring something around it. Still not knowing how the city was going to burn or by whom, she had a pretty good chance to blame them. Marcel may not see anything but her guard was going to stay up.
By doing a little digging, she had finally figured out where all of the Strix hung out at. Marcel had told her about the huge mansion they used for his introduction but that wasn't their main area. Violet knew it was going to be one of the finest, most expensive mansions in the area so she sent Caleb on a house hunting mission. He refused to tell her where they were located and according to her that was protection. Marcel had stated that it would be better for her not to know anything about Tristan, Aya or the Strix...She begged to differ. Once she found it, she was actually surprised at the location. She assumed they'd be closer to the city than out on a giant field. Then again, it was a nice home. She checked her GPS one more time to make sure the location was correct. She hid behind a few trees to understand who was placed where. If Tristan or Aya caught her, the whole plan would be ruined and Marcel would find out about the trip. But Tiana was on the lookout for them around the city as she followed them wherever they went.
Violet jumped out of the bushes and calmly walked towards the entrance. Two male vampires dressed in suits stood near the door and she took a deep breath, here was winging the entire plan.
"Hey...Aren't you both a little hot standing out here. Louisiana can be dreadful at times, go take a break" The weather wasn't that warm out and the two just stared at her.
"Okay, I came to talk to Davina so if you wouldn't mind. I just wanted to visit an old friend"
The two vampires still didn't budge but they glanced at each other. "Sorry, you're not a member of the Strix so you're not getting into the house"
Violet shifted her eyes between the two of them before looking around. She pouted faintly thinking of something to do but wasn't sure if it was the best idea. "Can't you give me a pass? I am dating Marcel so it wouldn't be a big deal if you let me inside"
"We know who you are Miss Badeaux and that still isn't an invitation" Rolling her eyes, she knew she should have drug Elijah out of whatever he was doing to just get inside. Then again, he was as uptight as they were so he probably wouldn't have done justice. But it looked like it was time to test how quick they were able to react to her. Even for her age, she was quicker than most vampires even Marcel who was ten years older in vampire years than her. Violet zipped up to the door and past the two and they moved swiftly. Pulling her back and throwing her to the ground, she tumbled near the stairs before jumping back up. Licking the blood from the corner of her mouth, she made a come here motion and the vampires did. She pushed herself forward and moved past them as their bodies fell to the floor. Violet had dropped their hearts to the ground as she peeked over her shoulder.
"Damn, for vampires twenty times older than me you guys suck. That was easier than I thought" For a moment she stared at her bloody hands and wondered where she was going to wipe the blood off at. It was nice to be killing some Strix members and feel nothing for her actions. Maybe Tristan did mess with her a little. She wiped them in her jeans and opened the door to look at the rich life. Who cares if she had blood splattered on them, why should it even matter? They invaded her home so killing two wasn't a big deal.
After looking through rooms, hiding from other vampires and going in circles, she finally found Davina. She was in a room that used to be a pool area which she thought. The girl was reading over something at a table lit by candles. She looked away when she heard someone come into the room and Violet waved. Shutting the door and locking it tight, she moved towards Davina who had her eyebrows raised.
"I killed the guards outside so your secret is as good as mine" She had asked a few witches where she was…Marcel didn't know Aya took her under her wing.
"I need to have conversation with her so if you wouldn't mind doing a spell to ignore any curious vampire that decides to listen. It's important"
Davina scoffed faintly and grabbed the candle. She did a little chant and one two three the spell was in effect. She pointed to the pillow on the floor and Violet took a seat. Despite being close to Marcel, the girls really didn't know each other. Violet found it hard to get to know her as Davina never bothered talking to her. She didn't want to ask her about this, she could have easily turned to the Algier witches. Violet knew much about witchcraft but Davina never really cared or asked for helped.
"Alright, everything is set so what is it you want?" She found it amusing that whenever a vampire needed help, they turned to the witches.
"Well considering you are in with the Strix, you know the issue they face in the city. Marcel and I have both saw visions of New Orleans going down in flames sometime soon. I hate to place blame but I do think it is going to be your people in the end who do so"
"My people? No, my people threw me out so they technically are Marcel's people. I'm only here for one reason, I can't stand Aya so"
Violet cut her off. "I know about Kol"
Davina's eyebrows shot up in surprise. She thought she had been so quiet about the whole situation. Last thing she needed was Marcel on her case for bringing another Mikaelson back. "I'm not going to say whatever you are doing is wrong because I've made sacrifices in my life. I know what it's like to want someone and you can't have them. I just need a favor and I can promise you that I will help with whatever you need for the spell. My mouth will be shut" Davina hadn't said a word but she still pressed on. "They alright got Cami D..."
She had explained what had happened to Cami and with what was going on in the compound. It was all new to her as she was tucked away inside of the mansion. She hoped that it would convince Davina to do what she needed.
"This is a big favor to ask but I know the Strix have a weapon to destroy an Original. I overheard Marcel and Aya talking and I believe she's going to destroy Klaus. My theory is we are going to be picking sides and fighting them. They kill Klaus; they wipe out the entire line. Josh, Marcel, myself included. You know what it's like to have people out to kill you so you should know where I'm coming from. What I want is for you to break Klaus's sire line"
Davina didn't say anything and just shook her head slowly. "I know I told Marcel before that I could do it but I'm not sure if the ancestors are going to listen after they kicked me out"
"I did more digging and trust me, this benefits you getting Kol. I don't trust Aya and I have not lived over a hundred and seventy some years to be killed off by Elijah wannabes. I just want to know that this city is going to be okay and I'm going to survive whatever is thrown my way"
Even though she saw that she had perished in the end, she wasn't going to let that happened. No one would and even though it was the best way to die in the city, Violet wasn't going anywhere.
"No one knows about our conversation. I couldn't tell Josh because he knows how to talk, Marcel wouldn't want you to do it and I don't want the Mikaelson's to know obviously because of the Strix. I don't need an answer at this moment but if you could come to a conclusion and do the spell soon that would be greatly appreciated"
Before Davina said anything they both heard a knock at the door. Their attention was now focused on them and Violet blew out the candle. She placed a finger to her lips and got up slowly. She motioned for Davina to unlock the door as she jumped out the window knowing it was a vampire. After finding the two outside, she assumed whoever they were wanted to check up on the witches. When she heard Aya's voice, it was time to leave immediately. Tiana must have texted her but with being so caught up in their girl chat she didn't notice her phone go off. Once she heard the lock break, Violet vamped out of there as Davina was left to face the other vampire.
When Violet had returned back to the Compound it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Everyone still must have been out and she checked her phone to make sure she wasn't gone long. In all excuses it was that she had went shopping but then she glanced down at her jeans. The dried blood had stained greatly and you really couldn't tell if it was blood or mud. But if someone saw her with mud on her pants, that meant she was parading around in the swamp. Glancing around, she made her way to the stairs but then something caught her eye. The piano top never had anything on it but then there had been.
She slowly walked over towards it and saw four small wooden boxes lying on it. Hesitating, she wondered what they could have been. Smirking faintly, she picked up one of the boxes and noticed a little envelope underneath it. Setting it down and picking up the envelope, she started to rip it open when she heard footsteps. Klaus had just walked in and looked over at her with a smile.
"Falling for the wolf pack again I see" He pointed to her jeans.
"Thank you for the gifts. I see Mystic Falls treated you well considering you are so chipper even with Cami being your whatever she is. Did you come across your other blonde girlfriend while you were there?"
His smile had faded as he ripped the card out of her hand. She tried reaching for it but he kept it behind his back. Sometimes Violet had reminded him of Rebekah as they liked to playfully joke with each other. When she went to reach for it he gave her a stern look. "These are from Elijah or I…Maybe they are from your wolf lover"
"Give me the damn card Klaus"
He ripped the rest of it opened and tossed away the paper. Violet reached on last time but he just popped open the card and she quickly step to his side to read it. "The land of the living or the land of the dead? You should have heard them scream, seen how much they bleed. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. We've kept the bodies, find them if you must. It is an old saying an eye for an eye. Revenge is so profound that everyone must try. He who laughs last does laugh best. If you want to take revenge go ahead and be my guest. Roses die, places decay and every kingdom must fall. Everyone knows what will happen so give it your all. Enjoy our little gift; I do hope you all will be okay. XOXO Aurora
Both Klaus and Violet read it quickly to themselves as they didn't say a word. The four boxes just laid there and neither one wanted to even look. He tossed the card onto the black top but Violet made the motion to get closer. Grabbing the box up in front she slid the top open to reveal a bloody heart. Dropping it back down it made a thud as Klaus stood right behind her. He reached for another and slid it, same. She swallowed as they both went for the last two boxes.
"Whose hearts are these?" He questioned but she just stood there with her hand over her mouth. Clamping her eyes shut, a tear slid out which made Klaus panic a little inside. He did wonder if it was Marcel and he placed his hand on her shoulder.
"These three I know that last box I have not a clue"
Klaus had noticed that three of the boxes and something in them. One was a blue heart shaped necklace, the other had a blue ring and the last had a silver ear ring. He pulled out the necklace but she quickly ripped it from his hand. "This is Tiana's blue necklace I gave her in 1951. I got that ring for Caleb and that other piece of jewelry belonged to Gia…"
Violet wiped the tears from her face and sunk to her knees gripping it tight. Tiana was one of her closest friends and the one person she could rely on for an alibi. She now realized that they played her as much as she played them. Tristan and Aurora knew the whole time what she was doing so they made their own secret plan. She ignored the pain in her knees and slammed her fist on the solid ground. She blamed herself bringing Tiana to the city. She knew how much Elijah loved Gia and this was just another downfall.
"What are we going to tell Elijah? We still don't even know who this belongs to"
"Hey good news bad news" Marcel had spoken as he and Elijah just walked in. Violet quickly climbed back to her feet and they both looked at them bewildered. "Jackson's missing" Elijah said and Violet shifted her eyes. Klaus placed his hand on his head and sighed loudly.
"Is everything okay?" Marcel asked once he got near them. Looking into the boxes then her, he didn't say anything else. Once Elijah caught wind of what was going on, all the vampires remained quiet.
