Violet had knocked on the door of one of the bedrooms in the compound. She opened the door and saw Davina playing with a candle on the bed. She kept lighting it then putting the flame back out. It made her cringe a little inside and made her think of what everything was going to come to. Davina had lifted her head and looked at the vampire.
"I didn't want to barge it but I wondered if you needed anything"
She sighed before answering. "No but can I see Kol yet?"
Both Marcel and Violet agreed that it was best they kept them separated. Everyone was in the compound except for Klaus who was still a no show. Even though Lucien could step foot in it, at least they would know where everyone was and could be protected. Kol was sitting in the wine cellar good enough from his girlfriend.
"I don't think so but I'll ask Marcel again" Davina heavily sighed that time and focused back on the candle. "Look, I get where you're coming from, I really do. Marcel had forbid any vampire in the Quarter to date any werewolves and I managed to screw that up. I started dating him without telling anyone so I know what it's like to want someone and you can't have them"
Davina had looked back at her with a surprised look on her face. She must have never heard the story but Violet didn't know how. Mostly everyone in the whole town knew the story as much as she hated it.
"Give me ten minutes and I'll see what I can do"
That lit up the girls face and Violet had given her a half smile back. She closed the door and looked down the balcony at the vampires and Originals. Hayley had been trying to get Hope to play with toys but she seemed distracted by everyone's emotions. When she reached the bottom of the stairs, she walked over and joined in the conversation.
"I don't know what he did with it though. Knowing Lucien he probably hid them in a safe place"
"Hid what?" She asked and Hayley spoke up.
"Elijah said that Lucien had some sort of serum or cure to counter his werewolf bite. I suggested that we should go look for it but everyone here says no"
Violet's eyes flickered away from her and down to Hope. She hoped that she masked the emotion that spread across her face. Elijah was right, Lucien did have cure for his bite but she only learned that after Finn died. She had done some investigating of her own without anyone even knowing. She had killed the human who had Lucien's penthouse in their name. Violet entered and searched high and low for it. What she didn't tell anyone is that she found it and had it in her possession.
"In my opinion I say we look for it in a few days but I doubt anyone's going to find it" Marcel had looked over at her with a confused look on his face. He didn't understand why she worded it that way and now all of them were looking at her. She caught everyone's looks and spoke up again. "What I mean is I know Lucien and he isn't someone to leave evidence lying around. He most likely hid it in a spot that none of us are going to bound to look it. We can try but I think we'll come up empty"
Freya had been sitting with Kol in the cellar going of her spell book. She had found a few things but wasn't entirely sure if it would work. She was hoping to fix Kol at the moment and worry about Lucien right after. Since Cami's death, no one in the entire city has heard from the couple and that made everyone very suspicious. She glanced over at Kol who was drinking from a blood bag but then she stopped thinking of something. Freya got up, went out to the courtyard and asked for Elijah. He quietly followed which left Violet, Marcel, Hayley and the child.
"So I'm going to take it that neither of you have heard from Klaus?"
Marcel shook his head. "I've tried calling him but he never responds. I thought maybe he'd answer Violet but nope. You out of all people I thought he'd talk to"
"It just worries me considering Lucien is walking around. Hope doesn't need to grow up without him, Finn is already dead and God knows what's going to come next. We can't keep losing people"
Freya had been watching them out there and closed the doors slowly. Marcel had turned around just in time to see her and found it a little odd. He had looked over at Violet who was always looking between the two. Hayley glanced but was busy trying to keep Hope occupied. He stepped over and brushed a piece of Violet's hair to speak into her ear without anyone hearing. He stopped momentarily after seeing Davina leaning against the balcony.
"It's almost been ten minutes, can I see him yet?" Hayley looked over in surprise as she hadn't seen her all day. She picked up Hope as Elijah was just walking back out of the room.
"Hayley would you mind if you sat in there with Hope? We want to have a little chat with these two" She hesitated knowing how Kol was acting but she did anyway. Once she walked past Freya she made a hand motion and it wasn't until she got in the room entirely that she knew something wasn't going to go right.
Freya closed the door before anyone seen the panicked expression on her face. "Freya thinks she found a way to help destroy Lucien. It isn't exactly a for sure thing but it could also help Kol in the future"
That made Davina inch away from the balcony and step down a few stairs. "That's great…What can I do to help?" They had promised that she could help with the spell for him.
Elijah had looked more towards the ground as his sister same forward. "The only bad part of the spell is that there needs to be a sacrifice of some sort"
Violet was catching wind of the moral of the story. Since she had some knowledge in witchcraft like Kol, it dawned on her and she spun around to look at Davina. "You need to get out of…"
Before she could finish the sentence Elijah had zipped over and shoved a stake into her back. Violet had cried out falling to the ground. Marcel jumped into action as the girl started back up the stairs. The Original was quick though and was able to stop Marcel in time. He grabbed him, threw him into the wall and zipped back at him to hold him in place. Freya had started chanting some which blocked Davina from moving any further. Violet had tried to reach around for the stake but there was no way she could get a grip on it. The Mikaelson's were lucky that Klaus wasn't around because if he knew what they were doing…
Davina had sunk to her knees screaming out for anyone to help her. Freya continued to move towards the girl slowly extracting the magic. Marcel tried his best to fight off Elijah but nothing would work as his strength was far less than Elijah's. Her magic had started fading and it caused great pain to her. If they would have known this would have happened, Marcel would have banned the Mikaelson's from the compound. The screams took up the entire place and you could hear Hayley banging her fist on the door. Not knowing what was going on, she was left wondering and afraid of what was going on on the outside.
Marcel still struggled against Elijah but Violet got ahold of the stake finally. She tried pulling it out but it was so lodged into her back that it was a fight to do so. Gritting her teeth in pain, she snapped it in half with the rest still in her back. She staggered to her feet and luckily Freya was only a few feet ahead of her. She vamped out and bit Original witch in the neck hard. She had stopped chanting and fell against her, Violet had drunk vigorously before tossing her to the ground. Elijah had stared at her which gave Marcel the upper hand. He broke free from Elijah's grasp and zipped towards Davina's unconscious body. Picking her up gently and leaving, Violet had given the Original a look and moved as fast as she could out of there.
Violet had been sitting in Josh's apartment for the last two hours. After running out of the compound, she realized that neither Marcel nor Davina were anywhere in sight. With the wood still stuck in her back, she had to get somewhere fast for it to come out. She ran to Josh's as his place was the closest and was the only one answering. She had sat hunched over biting her nails for more than a half of an hour until he got it completely out. Problem was, Marcel wasn't in contact with her and she called him almost every five minutes. Violet didn't know what was going on, was Davina okay? Was she hurt, alive or even dead? Questions were flying through her mind yet she couldn't get the answers to them.
In desperate attempts, she called Klaus and Jake. Of course one didn't answer and the other didn't have information she needed. She had scoped out some Strix vampires and hoped they would know something. Vincent was out of the city doing some witch business so she couldn't do a locator spell. Violet had searched the old loft and down towards the garden. Once again in desperate times, she even headed out to the swamp. There was an obvious spot that crossed her mind and that was the gym plus the attic. Once again, everything came to a dead end. The last spot she thought of last was her best bet so she headed in that direction.
The Strix mansion was dead silent and it seemed as if no one had been there in a few days. She was praying that he was going to be inside or even Davina. Violet took her time peeking into every room and waiting for that surprise appearance. She twisted the doorknob to the room Davina usually occupied. It was so dark in there that it took Violet a moment to see Marcel in the corner. She jogged over but slowly stopped in her tracks as she seen him cradling her in his arms.
"Is she okay? What's going on?" She asked bending down to her knees.
Marcel didn't even flinch or look away from her body. She knew that something wasn't right but she couldn't put her finger on it. Violet was just thankful that she had found them. She placed her hand on his shoulder as he slowly put the girl's body down.
"What is wrong?"
Her eyes scanned around her feet and saw pieces of papers scattered everywhere. It was spells from some book that Davina must have had at some point. It looked as if a monster had dug through them, scattered them and left for anyone to find. She had seen one near her feet so she picked it up looking at it. As Violet read the words carefully, she picked up the spell.
"You're not telling me that she is…"
"Dead? Yeah well apparently Freya sucked all her magic out and it took everything from her. What the hell did they think they were doing? Both Elijah and his sister knew what they were doing, why in the hell…" Marcel cut off and she caught him staring out the window.
Violet's heart sunk at came closer to Davina. She didn't hear her heat beating and she went to bite her wrist in an attempt to bring her back. "I already tried that…"
As she stared at the young witch's lifeless body, she placed her head in her hand and held her mouth shut. It wasn't fair, the people they were losing left and right. The good people such as Davina and Cami, Tiana, Gia and even Jackson. The supernatural group of people in New Orleans was dwindling and fast. She rubbed her hand all over her face before looking for that scrap piece of paper she had in her hand. Violet found it and began reading it over before Marcel ripped it away from her hand.
"Don't you get it? I've done everything I could to bring her back! I've fed her my blood, looked through resurrection spells and I came up with nothing. She's dead and there is nothing we can do!"
Marcel had ripped the paper to shreds and let the pieces of paper fall to the floor likes ashes. Violet had backed away from it and stood up. Her mind was scrambling to figure out something, there had to be a spell that could bring her back. They did have witch allies.
"You remember that the witches brought you back after Mikael ripped your heart out. Let's just take her body and go to Algiers, I'm sure they could figure out something" Violet went to grip his elbow but she just slapped his hand away.
"They can't do anything, what are they going to do? Freya took her magic; if they attempt to bring her back she's going to have nothing. On top of that, it isn't going to work because the ancestors will fight them as they want her dead so no, there isn't anything we can do"
Out of the hundred and some years they have known each other that were the first time that Violet had ever seen Marcel cry or even freak out. He was usually .good at keeping a cool head through any situation but she understood the difference.
"Marcel…" She attempted to grab ahold of him but he pushed her away once more.
"Don't Marcel me Violet. You of all people should know what death feels like. You've lost your entire family; you've lost people closest, your best friends Thierry and Tiana. So don't look at me like you wouldn't be doing the exact same thing"
"I'm not judging you, I just think…"
"Right now, I don't give a damn about what you think. She was fine but you insisted that she be brought to the compound for protection. So tell me why Lucien would go after her? I mean he is your ex-boyfriend after all so out of anyone in this city, he would be coming for you. Not me, not Klaus and definitely not Davina"
He had looked away from the window and she could see the change clear in his eyes. They were clouded up with sadness and full of hatred. Violet knew whatever words that were going to fall out of his mouth weren't true and that he was acting on with anger. Marcel on the other hand was feeling any regret for what he was saying.
"Sure Elijah and Freya killed her but you had a hand in her death as well. If you go to bed tonight thinking that you didn't, find somewhere else to go"
Violet was taken back by the remark and was partially in shock. She didn't think she had anything to do with and was at a loss of words. Marcel had disappeared before she was able to spit anything out. There was something strange about this situation though, she couldn't have been dead. It didn't make sense, she had never seen a witch steal another's magic and then end up dead. Violet would figure something out, she'd bring Davina back one way or another…No matter how long it took.
