Violet, Josh and some other vampires were making their way out of the city and over to Algiers. It was Marcel's wishes and they promised to follow them and meet up with the witches. The last time they had contact with Angelique and her coven was when they were asking questions about Davina. Marcel should be the one going to them and not having someone else running errands. Apparently he wanted to find as many vampires as he could to help battle the Mikaelson's...Like that was going to help.
She didn't want to run to them and ask for help but it was a possibility that the ancestors were going to rage war with them. If they want the Mikaelson family gone, they'll side with Lucien and grant him whatever power he wants. Problem was that Violet knew Lucien would betray them in an instance and they could never side with him. But by the way things were going; she wouldn't be surprised if Marcel wanted to team up with him.
"Alright, I'm sure they are going to be on guard considering that they don't know any of you. Let me handle the talking and I'm sure everything will go smoothly" She said as she hoped everything would go as planned.
The Algier witches had no idea about their visit so part of her hoped that they were going to be at the abandoned church. As that was their main meeting place, they were most likely there. She tried the large church doors but it seemed like they were locked from the inside. Violet looked around the dead neighborhood and looked up at the glass stained window.
"Here, let me lend a hand in this. Anyone got a pin or something"
Malena searched her jet black hair and pulled out a bobby pin before handing it to Josh. Violet moved aside as he bent down looking at the doorknob. He did a few tricks twisting and turning it and the door slowly creaked open. "As many times as I've actually tried to do it, it actually worked"
Violet had to get a faint laugh in before pushing the door faintly. "Just stay behind me and don't make any sudden movements"
It was too quiet, almost eerie and coming straight out of a horror movie. Technically their lives have been a supernatural movie and things didn't need to get worse. The church was filled with dust as if no one had been there for at least five years. Marcel was the one who told her to go there but she doubted that it was the right place. Violet had never ventured off in Algiers much and she thought what a creepy place to stay in.
"Hey, maybe they are buried in the graveyard over there" Josh said breaking the silence and pointing out the window. A little graveyard was right next to them.
She turned to him as well as the others. "Hey, all I'm saying is what if Lucien is one step ahead and took out these witches. He's got the upper hand already so it wouldn't surprise me"
Before she said anything, Angelique appeared out of nowhere and spoke up. "We are powerful witches and I think you're little friend might be fearful of us"
She stood there in a pale yellow sundress and it made the place look a little live. It was dull all the way down to the wallpaper and floorboards. She clasped her hands together and looked at the five vampires.
Violet caught her gaze and introduced everyone. "Josh is Mr. sarcastic so mind him; from left to right it goes Malena, David and Nicole. Marcel's vampires so nothing to worry about"
"Right, Marcel Gerard…"She seemed to know why they all were there which confused Violet. "You can come up to the attic with me. These vampires can stay down here if you wouldn't mind. I think you might stress my friends out"
She nodded faintly and looked over at Josh. He moved away from the window quickly and gathered the vampires to one of the pews. "It won't be more than twenty minutes…If you guys want to leave, be my guest. I'm sure you all have something better to do than wait around for me"
Violet followed Angelique to the little stairway; the three vampires gave each other looks and got up. Josh was the only one that stayed. It wasn't a surprise to her as they were missing a handful of vampires due to the rumors going around. She didn't blame them for disappearing.
When they got into the attic, she saw Ezra, Cairus and Charlotte all sitting at a table looking through some books. They all stared at her and that was one of her biggest pet peeves. "You all remember Violet Badeaux…"
"The reigning queen of New Orleans, nice to see you again" Ezra's voice boomed and she couldn't figure out if that was a joke or if he meant it.
She didn't say anything but it all seemed as if they were waiting for her to say something. "Uh, I just wanted to know" Violet stopped talking realizing that sentence was wrong. "Long story short, we need allies against this war that is going to go down"
"So word on the street is true. We've been hearing about the loss of a New Orleans witch, a young one in fact. I hear Marcel wants to go against the Mikaelson family for his vengeance. We know all about it"
Violet nodded at her words before speaking. "Yeah so he sent me over here asking if you could have our back. Thing is, this Lucien guy…"
"Lucien Castle is now what we call a beast; I'm not sure what you call it. He's stronger, faster and deadlier than anyone in this city which is obviously not good for anyone. We know about the visions, the city turning to ash. It's a good thing we live here" Cairus joked but no one laughed.
"Problem is, we can help the both of you fight off Niklaus's family and Lucien but there's nothing we can do if everything turns to ash"
As much stuff she knew about witchcraft, she already knew the answer to that. There was not anything they could do to get away from the city, it was heard enough getting to Algiers. Somehow, the ancestors had been fighting Marcel and the vampires and they were winning. Not one of them could leave New Orleans or they faced death. Vincent put his hand in and did something that made them able to get into Algiers. That was another reason this conversation had to happen quickly.
"As long as you can help battle the dead witches or find a way to kill him, we'll be okay" She said it but she didn't believe it. "Trust me; I understand not wanting to jump into something that doesn't involve you. Marcel's just wanting to build an army"
Charlotte had blinked quickly and looked down at her hands. Violet had gave her a curious but strange look wondering what she was doing. The witch looked at her and flat out said "He's going to do it"
"Do what?" Violet asked but she knew what she meant. No one said anything and she was careful not to mention anything about the serum. It hit her by surprise and it was as if the world had just crashed. She stared at the floor with a dry mouth and it was hard to gain her composure. Why should I trust them she thought but in the back of her mind, she knew what Marcel was planning.
Angelique's voice brought her back to reality. "Tell him we are glad to help. We always help any ally of ours no matter the situation even if we get killed ourselves. The New Orleans witches have always been a problem to any other coven around here so it will be a pleasure"
The male witches turned to her realizing what she just said. She gave them a serious look as if they were children being scolded. Covens were always serious and loyal to a fault but no one believed that she would just jump on the chance to do this. They already sold their souls and she couldn't figure out why they'd be so surprised. Violet thanked them as she turned around needing to get out of the stuffy attic.
"Before you go, I've got something for you" Angelique stood up and held her hand out to Charlotte who grabbed something for a mixture bowl. "It's a gift from all of us"
Violet spun around and came face to face with her; how she moved so fast she didn't know. "A hand crafted necklace filled with the flower that represents you among other things"
She didn't understand the present but put her hand out to take it. Angelique shook her head no and brushed Violet's blonde hair out of the way. She got a good look at it while she was clasping it around her neck. It was a glass pendent and had pieces of Violet's in it. She couldn't see what else as it wasn't visible.
"So what is this for? I mean when witches give gifts, it's usually laced with a voodoo curse"
She laughed a little shaking her head once more. "Oh no, we wouldn't ever curse you" Violet didn't find that sentence a little troubling. "It's a little good luck charm. We hope that it will help with fight off the ancestor's powers. You must wear it at all times for it to work though"
The vampire nodded at her still not understand the gesture. She gripped it between her thumb and index finger rubbing it slowly. She thanked them again and slipped down the staircase. Charlotte jumped up and stood at the window watching for when all the vampires left.
"I can't believe we honestly did that…Are we making a grave mistake?"
"You know what covens do Ezra; we help the good to fight off the evil. We did what needed to be done. There's no backing out of it now"
"Uh oh, new vampire alert" She pulled the curtain back over the window and the witches looked at her. It was a few seconds after Josh and Violet left that it caught Angelique off guard. She kept a straight face and waited at the door. Marcel had peered into the room as all were staring and waiting.
"What a surprise, we were just talking to your girlfriend" Cairus said as they all went back to do what they were doing.
"I know, I am the one that sent them…I just came by to see if you gave her the necklace"
Angelique pointed over to the table. "I gave it to her myself. She's going to be okay, we did the spell and infusion a potion"
Marcel had something up his sleeve that no one knew about. The reason he sent the vampires with her was just in case Lucien or Klaus were going to pop up. He had secured himself with the serum; he could take it and be more powerful than anyone once Lucien was out of the picture. Of course he was still debating on taking it but it was very important to save the ones he loved as well.
"And you are sure that it is going to work?"
"Are you doubting our magic? We are on your side through this, in fact I have something for you as well" Angelique went over to the book she had and tore out a page. "Just in case we don't make it through anything, this may help. If you don't mind, we'd like to get back to what we were doing"
He took the paper from her and glanced it over before looking at her. It was a spell but not in Latin, it had to be some sort of Haitian or even Creole. One word caught his eye though; he had some sort of feeling about it. Davina was written in the top corner so he knew what it had to be about. He turned away tucking the paper in his jacket paper beginning to leave.
"She's knows what you're going to do with the bottle" Charlotte said which caught a dirty look from Angelique. He didn't say anything or even turn around, Marcel had just left after hearing the statement.
