A quick A/N: Happy Independence Day, American readers/fans! Sorry I haven't written for so long but my first Fanfic, "A Thousand Red Roses," is finally done! It's Kol and Violet's back-story so check it out and review it if you want to learn more about their past together. Now, here's the eighth chapter of "Revenge & Power." Hope you enjoy it and "A Thousand Red Roses," if you read it!
"There's no need for you to tell us your plan because we already know what it is, Violet. We were watching you from the other side of the veil," Connor said to Violet before she could say anything.
"Good, then that will save us some time," Silas said.
"Why are we working with him?" Vaughn asked Violet.
"Because we need his help," Violet replied. Connor looked thoughtful for a few seconds.
"No we don't," he said.
"Yes we do," Violet fired back angrily.
"No, because I have a better plan," Connor said. He pulled out his cell phone and dialled a number on his cell phone before walking away from his fellow hunters, Kol and Violet so that he could speak in private with the person he was calling.
Fifteen minutes later, Connor walked back over to the hunters, Original and two witches with a smile on his face.
"The plan is in action," he stated.
"How long will it take this so-called 'plan' to get over here?" Vaughn asked. Ryan, Kol and Violet looked at Connor and Vaughn in confusion. There was clearly something that Connor and Vaughn hadn't told them, and they all wanted to know exactly what it was. Silas looked unsurprised because he was psychic after all.
"What are you two talking about?" Ryan asked his fellow hunters.
"You'll see in around…" Connor trailed off for a second or two to glance at his watch, "Ten minutes. Fifteen, tops."
"Or maybe less," Vaughn said to him. He pointed at the four people on the other side of the bridge who were walking towards them. Connor turned around and followed the direction of Vaughn's finger, which was what Ryan, Kol, Violet and Silas were already doing before Vaughn started pointing. Violet recognized two of the people as Kol's brother Klaus, whom she used to call Nik back in the 1900's, and Klaus's former protégé Marcel, but she didn't know who the other two people were. However, she supposed that the two people she didn't know, a girl who looked like she was around her own age and a boy who was perhaps a few years older than the girl, were related somehow since they looked so similar to each other. The girl, who had dark hair and vibrant blue eyes like the boy, in the group of people frowned when she saw Silas and stopped walking.
"I know, I know. I should have told you that Silas was here, but I figured that you already knew since you're psychic and all," Connor said before the girl could say anything.
"I'm not helping carry out any plan with Silas involved," the girl said.
"Oh, come on, Lyssa," Connor pleaded.
"No, I'm leaving and so is my brother. You can keep Klaus and Marcel though," the girl, Lyssa, said. So the other person that Violet didn't know really was related to the girl.
"Actually, sweetheart, I'm leaving with you," Klaus said to her before meeting Connor's gaze.
"You can keep Marcel," he said to the hunter.
"Oh come on, Lyssa! I thought you were nicer than that," Marcel said to Lyssa. She smiled at him.
"I am nice," she said. She paused for a second before adding,
"You aren't though." Marcel chuckled, amused.
"I'm still leaving with you since I do have a town to run after all," he said.
"Fine," Lyssa said reluctantly. All four of them suddenly disappeared into thin air, leaving Silas, Kol, Violet, Connor, Ryan and Vaughn alone on Wickery Bridge.
