Violet had been sitting in the black car she borrowed from Josh for the last twenty minutes. She was surprised her phone had never gone off with them questioning why she was there. It was weird looking at the Mikaelson mansion and knowing everything that was going on. They were responsible for Davina's death and now Marcel was planning theirs. Violet had gripped her jacket tighter and stepped out of the car. It had been raining heavily all day and it looked like nature had taken a break, at least something had.
She slowly approached the steps and wondered if this was the right thing to do. If Marcel found out that she was warning them of his intentions, that wasn't going to end well. Violet had always had his back through everything but this was a huge step. Sure she helped him the first time to attempt to kill them but something was different this time. Marcel was going to turn into something more powerful than an Original; he would be stronger than any vampire. Being reckless and hurt was not the way to go about things but who was she to judge?
Taking a deep breath she moved up the stairs and looked stared at the door. Violet knocked slowly and quietly that she knew no one heard it. Knocking harder and louder a second time she waited and she heard footsteps come to the door. It slowly starting opening and there was Hayley. Violet blinked not expecting her to answer and saw Hope trying to follow behind her.
"Hey...I, uh was wondering if Klaus or Elijah were here?"
Hayley had looked her over in a weird way. She didn't blame her considering that no one in the family had spoken to Violet or Marcel in the last couple of days. They had last seen each other at Cami's funeral and none showed up for Davina's. Crossing her arms over her chest, she waited for a response.
"Look, if you are here for anything…"
"I just want to talk to them. I know it's weird of me to just show up here but I swear it's on good terms and I mean no harm. It is important so please"
Hayley had looked over being slightly cautious. The two girls had always gotten along but now the tides had changed. Violet would refuse to attack Hayley only because of Hope. No child should grow up without their parents but at least she had the decency to keep one alive if the time came to it.
She had looked behind her and stared at the shiny wooden stairs debating what to do. She had already been invited in so if Hayley said know and Violet still wanted to proceed, she easily could. The main thing was the Mikaelson's didn't need another enemy but they had already created one.
"Alright, you can come in" She backed away from the door and Violet had a faint smile on her face. As she stepped inside, Hope had stumbled over to her and she bent down to say hello. Hope had a happy reaction on her face until Hayley picked her up. Violet cleared her throat as she led her through the large entry way and into one of the dens. Klaus had a drink in his hand while Elijah had his head resting in his hand staring out the window. Klaus had lifted his eyes looking at her in surprise.
"Well well, if it isn't familiar face. It's nice to see you Violet"
Elijah had turned his head once his brother spoke and had the same reaction. He sat a little straighter in his chair as Klaus stayed sprawled out on the long couch. She offered a faint smile and pulled at her jacket. The room felt tighter and the air became shorter. "Nice to see you out and about, I thought after everything that happened...I wasn't sure if you'd want to stay in New Orleans"
She was referring to Cami as she hadn't seen Klaus in a while. It was strange being back around all of them especially under all these circumstances. Violet felt awkward knowing they were eyeing her and she intentions. She knew Elijah had tried to get through to Marcel but he never listened nor did he care. Just as she was about to talk, Kol stepped in.
"What is she doing here?" He asked and she could hear the venom on the tip of his tongue. His face was a dull yet angry expression. Violet could understand though about Davina.
"I came here to talk so don't start throwing accusations at me"
"And we all are going to trust her? You all seen how they acted at Cami's funeral" Kol had gotten a look from Klaus but continued anyway. "You and Marcel…I know how he's been acting"
"Kol, I know you loved Davina. Marcel did too, she was a daughter to him and you all have seen it and known it. I may have not known her that much but what happened to her…" She sighed and glanced towards the ground. She had a feeling this wasn't going to go well.
Elijah had told her to sit down but she could see how Klaus was acting. Hope had been crawling all over one of them as Kol took the seat next to her. Once Violet shook her head, Klaus did his famous smirk and patted the seat. Clearing her throat again, she slowly sat down.
"I'm not here to argue, I'm not here to fight. Yes, I will defend Davina as she was just a young girl but I'm more or less here for Marcel. I'm worried about him. There's no one else out there who knows him as well as I do"
She looked at all of them knowing that their eyes were blaming her. They both had issues with the family in the past and God only knows what was going to happen next. No one would have guessed things were going to go the way they did but it happened. The only thing to do was now make amends; stay tied to bridges and not let anything get out of control. Like hell things were going to be normal again.
"How is Marcellus?" Elijah leaned forward towards her and Klaus took a long drink.
"He's…I don't really know how he is. He's irritable, full of hate and rage. I've hardly seen him shed a tear as his whole body is just filled with anger. He snapped at me blaming me for what happened to Davina as if I could have done something. I don't like seeing him like this and I'm afraid of what he's going to do. We all know Marcel likes to jump to conclusion and it seems like he already has"
"It's not like he hasn't trying killing us before. What makes this any different?"
Violet clamped her mouth shut and wouldn't dare to bring up the beast serum or Vincent's offer. As much as she wanted to warn them about whatever was going to happen, it still benefited their side. She didn't want to see Marcel become Lucien and his ego go through the roof. More or less, she'd be afraid of the monster he'd become.
Elijah's eyes seemed to scan her for information but she just slid her jacket off quietly and slowly. Kol had shook his head and walked over to the wooden table across from the couch. He slammed the glass he was drinking out of on it and pounded his fist which made her jump back. Elijah gave him a stern look as Klaus eyed Violet like a pack of meat.
"So are you here to send a message or a warning that my family is now a threat to you and your boyfriend? You are in our home, our playing field and I can easily rip you to shreds if you want to send that kind of message"
Violet had gritted her teeth before gripping her jacket tight. She really just wanted to slap him across the face but her eyes trailed over to Hope who was watching through her innocent eyes. She didn't want her to see anything she shouldn't see.
"You know what; I guess it was wrong of me coming here" She stood up and whipped her jacket off the couch hitting Klaus hard in the legs. He took a deep breath as she navigated past the table and Kol. He grabbed her wrist but she pulled away just before he could get a tight grip.
"Brother…"Elijah had called down scolding him like a child.
Violet had glared over her shoulder at him. "Don't touch me again or I swear that will be the last thing you ever do"
Her boots had clicked hard on the wood floor as Kol called out something but she was too irritated to catch what he said. Elijah huffed lowly and gave Klaus a look to go after her. He was already on it and practically killed himself to get over the table and past his younger brother. He patted him on the shoulder as Klaus jogged after the young vampire.
"Violet…Wait a minute" She was taking good strides to get out the door but he grabbed her red jacket. Spinning around, she came face to face with the Original. If they would have been an inch or two closer, they would be touching lips. She looked him over not saying anything.
He peered over his shoulder and saw Hayley staring at them with Kol. He grabbed Violet's upper arm and led her upstairs to a room that would pry away from the listening ears. She didn't have a choice but to follow and he shut the door quietly.
"He's a little upset about Davina so ignore him"
"We all are. I mean, all of you guys aren't probably. Your siblings did throw her under the bus to save all your asses" She leaned against the wall as he looked at her demeanor.
"I get that you too are going to see the opposite side of this but we were protecting our family. Lucien's ego is blown through the roof and is bloodthirsty. We needed something that's going to be able to take him down and free Kol"
"And is he free?" Violet questioned but Klaus shook his head slowly. "See, that's what I mean. Everyone around here isn't thinking anything through which screws someone in the long run" She looked down and pinched the bridge of her nose carefully.
"Marcel is going to do something he is going to regret and it involves all of you. Actually it involves pretty much everyone in the city and I don't want to be a part of it"
"What is he going to do Violet?" Klaus gave her a serious look.
"Just know that by killing of the girl, you've started an unofficial war against him. You know the vampires are going to follow his every move and I will stand by him but…It looks like Lucien won't be the only enemy hanging around"
She looked at him but a hint of regrets and secrets were hiding in her green eyes. He scanned her but she made no intention to tell secrets. He could easily compel them out of her but ever since Cami's death, he had been trying to do the right thing. He'd rather talk to Marcel about everything than have her be the in-between.
"I came here just to warn all of you about Marcel. I don't know exactly what he's planning but I know what he is capable of. Ever since Elijah and Freya did their little whatever, you seem like the only one I can trust. Can we keep this convo between me and you? I don't want Marcel finding out about anything…"
Before Klaus could answer they both heard a knock coming from the main door. He gave her a look before opening the bedroom door. Violet followed him out and Hayley was the one once more going to the door. Both vampires upstairs hung on the balcony looked down into the hallway. She cracked open the door slowly but didn't open it much more after that. They heard little talking but they knew the voice.
"Is Violet here? Josh's car is parked right there so I know she's somewhere around"
"I'm right here Marcel" She pulled away from the balcony and made her way towards the stairs. Marcel pushed the door open enough to see her walking down the stairs. He had an ice cold look on his face once she approached him.
"I borrowed Josh's car…"
"Why are you here?" Hayley's eyes lingered up to Klaus who moved away from the balcony as well. Violet didn't say a word and just looked at Marcel. She pulled the car keys from her pocket and held them up. "Can we just go? I'll explain everything in the car but I just…"
He cut her off by ripped the keys out of her hand and walking off the porch and onto the driveway. She stood there for a moment just staring at the door and not saying anything. It had been like that for a little while, ever since Davina and Vincent's offer. Violet shifted her eyes towards Klaus and just walked out of the door.
As Marcel was already sitting in the driver's seat, Violet had quickly walked down and was getting in the passenger seat when she noticed Klaus standing in the large doorway. He was watching them and nodded faintly in her direction knowing that their conversation was going to be kept quiet.
