"So I've got the Strix around the city and our vampires everywhere in the Quarter"
Marcel had stated as he slipped off his jacket and tossed it onto the chair. Violet had spun around at his words with a piece of paper in her hand.
"I've already sent some vampires to cover the exits to this place, just in case"
"I can't find the witches anywhere so I couldn't get them to lock this place down yet. If Freya returns soon I think she'll do it for us"
She tucked her hair behind one ear as they both were running around like crazy. The Mikaelson's had ran off to Mystic Falls to get their sister backed and were updated on what Lucien was attempting to do. If that were the case, everyone in New Orleans could be in trouble especially Marcel and Violet. Lucien had ties to both sides and would probably want to wipe out everyone he made contact with.
"So are we just going to wait for them to return or what?"
"I really don't know what we're going to do Violet. What can we do? We don't even know what Lucien's going to do or what he will be capable of"
She nodded at that and ordered a few more vampires around. It was Violet's idea to surround the compound with vampires just in case he were to show. She knew him Lucien better than Marcel and knew the things he could due. He was already ten times stronger than they were and by adding on something more powerful was worse. She was constantly reminding him that neither one of them saw Lucien in their fate so they wouldn't have to worry, Marcel wasn't so sure.
"I still say he's not going to come here. If anything, Lucien would be after Klaus more so than anyone else" She said as she sat down at the table.
"It's better safe than sorry, right?"
He sat down next to her and she cuddled closer to him. That was one thing they both loved about each other was that they could count on one another no matter the situation. The relationship wasn't picture perfect and it had many flaws but all they could do was make the most of the situation. She always felt content knowing that Marcel was willing to put his life on the line for her. Though she never wanted him to, he was one of the few people in her whole lifetime to do so.
"Well isn't this a sight to see. First the couple is arguing so the whole city of New Orleans can hear you. And now, you here you two are wrapped in each other's arms"
Marcel had lifted his arm off of Violet's shoulder with a sigh. She clenched her jaw knowing of the one person who was constantly interrupting them, Klaus. Marcel had peered over their touching shoulders and watched him walking in strides with a bottle of bourbon in his hand.
"Isn't it a little early to be drinking?"
"Well considering my family is completely different state fighting off an enemy of mine, I'd say it's time to start drinking. Besides I happened to come in here last night and by judging of what I seen, I still need to get it out of my memory"
"Wait, you walked in here last night?" Marcel questioned sitting up straighter.
Violet who was sitting a little slouched shot up as her cheeks began to turn rosy. She placed her hand on her forehead and didn't dare to look in anyone's direction. Klaus just smirked twisting off the cap and took a drink. By the way they reacted, he knew neither one of them heard him last night, why would they when they were doing something else.
"Oh don't worry; once I saw what the both of you were doing I bolted. Maybe next time you should keep it down just a little" His smirk wouldn't come off of his lips and it wouldn't for quite some time. Marcel had shifted his eyes away from him and over to Violet who still didn't look at anyone. "Well I can tell the level of awkwardness is unbearable…Hand me the letter Lucien left"
She looked to her right then her left looking for the scrap piece. After she found it, she handed it to him grabbing the bottle in the process. She definitely needed a drink after that. Placing it on the table, they waited for Klaus to say something as they had nothing to comment on.
"Funny that this doesn't seem like Lucien leaving a note such as this" Klaus huffed loudly and tossed it on the table. Violet had placed the bottle down and gave him a curious look.
"And that is supposed to mean what? Clearly Lucien left it"
"Poetry was Aurora's favorite and when you look at this piece of work it adds to the others. This obviously means that they one sided love story has been together on this plan all along"
Klaus had stood up at took his phone out of his jacket. He dialed as quickly as he could hoping that Elijah was going to answer. If not, he'd call Finn and last but not least Freya. He was going to get to the bottom of everything before they came back. Once he hung up after no answer, he heard Violet and Marcel talking.
"Aurora? I thought you bricked her up in the garden?"
"Great, now we've got the psychotic sister running around again. She was out for my head the first time thinking that I had something going with Klaus…"
He raised an eyebrow looking at them waiting for them to finish their little battle, same old routine. "Our best bet is if we all go to Mystic Falls and help my family on whatever is going on"
"I'm not leaving the compound" Violet said looking over at him.
"I'm sorry but aren't you the one who brought Lucien into all of this? I mean you did all make a plan against Tristan and his vampires, he saved you from them and it never crossed your mind that he was working for himself?"
"Give her a break; I wouldn't have guessed the guy had ulterior motives. You didn't even know as you were hanging around him so blaming her isn't going to get anyone anywhere"
"No one is going anywhere" They all looked back at Elijah who was walking at a fast pace in the compound. Freya and Vincent were right behind him and they were missing one brother.
"Where's Finn?" Klaus asked looking everyone over. He didn't know why he asked because he could tell things were bad from looking at Freya.
"I need to conjure a boundary spell here on the compound and if we all could stay in one place that would be great" Freya rushed past everyone and to the upstairs all ready to start a spell.
Marcel stood up and looked everyone over and Violet sat to watch. "Whatever Lucien turned himself into a greater than all of us. He bit Finn and he wasn't even able to make it back. The werewolf venom he possesses is ten times stronger than yours alone"
Violet's eyes flickered to Marcel as he tried to hide his concern but it was apparent on his face. Klaus flew out saying he was going to get Hayley and Hope to make sure they were all right. She had been doing a little wolf business trying to find the scoop on what Lucien was up to. Elijah had disappeared without saying where he was going. Vincent had stood there just looking around not understanding why he was still there.
"So what exactly happened?" Marcel asked which got his attention.
"I really don't know considering the ancestors forced me to do this against my will. All I know is that he is stronger than Klaus and Elijah combined. His bite took down Finn in a matter of hours so I know that isn't a good thing to you vampires"
Marcel had turned around and rubbed his mouth slowly. Lucien didn't have a bone to pick with Violet or him but the concern was still there. He could easily wipe everything away from them and always knew of their destiny. Besides seeing themselves supposedly die in the vision, he didn't know how the city was supposed to go down in flames.
"Oh one more thing, he said he's coming here"
Marcel had whipped back around to Vincent waiting for the answer. "He said he's coming back here for her" He had pointed to Violet who blinked a few times.
"For me? Why for me?" She turned to Marcel who was looking down at her.
"I don't know, all he said is he's coming back to New Orleans and for Violet which I know has to be you. I think he just wants to burn everything down to the ground"
With that being said, both Marcel and Violet shivered inside at the words.
