Thursday October 3rd
The scene begins with an aerial view of New Orleans, showing the bustling people on the streets and the jam-packed highways filled with cars below. At the heart of the city is the French Quarter, a haven and playground for vampires. Smooth jazz music can be heard as a parade makes its way down the street. Onlookers watched excitedly, applauding and cheering for the various dancers and performers. Leaning against the column of a bar on the sidewalk was a woman with long waves of brunette and blonde locks, the latter color in small streaks acting as a highlight to brighten the darkness of the brown in her hair. Her deep green eyes took in everything happening around her and she even smiled at some of the musicians.
"I figured I'd find you here." The smooth voice of a very familiar Original reached her ears and she shifted slightly so she could meet his eyes.
Giuliana put her hands up, frowning a little. "You caught me."
"You know the rules, Giuliana," Elijah told her. "Sophie is very strict."
"I've been cooped up in a house with Hayley for days. I needed some fresh air." She stressed.
Elijah's brow furrowed. "I thought that you two are getting along?"
"We are." The girl nodded. "Come on, Elijah. I was bored and I've never been to New Orleans. I wanted to explore."
"Giuliana…" She could see the smallest bit of trepidation in his eyes.
"Don't you ever get tired of being the noble brother?" Giuliana asked him cheekily to which Elijah's eyes flicked up to meet hers.
"Are you implying that I'm boring?" The girl simply giggled, trapping her bottom lip between her teeth.
"No," she grinned. "It just seems like you really love it here. Wouldn't you want to take advantage of seeing all there is to see?"
A smile twitched on Elijah's lips and he pocketed one of his hands in his suit jacket pocket. "New Orleans is certainly a unique place."
"It certainly is." She agreed and the cheering of some onlookers made them direct their attention to a crowd making their way down the street.
"Remember what I said about Marcel." Elijah's voice was in her ear for barely a second before he flashed away, disappearing from sight.
In The Big Easy
Klaus and Marcel marched with the throngs of people down the streets of the French Quarter. The two were joined by Marcel's cronies who made sure that neither would come into harm's way. Marcel's eyes found a very familiar silhouette along the sidewalk and he smirked widely at Giuliana. The girl rolled her eyes, unimpressed by his attempts to flirt with her and she turned to smile at a man who had started to dance by her. The king himself tried not to look so crestfallen while Klaus was grinning to himself.
"You fancy her?" Klaus questioned as they watched Giuliana dance with one of the street performers. The gentleman took her hand and twirled her around before handing her a long feather from his hat. She smiled her thanks and tucked in behind her ear.
"She's queen material, you know?" Marcel replied with a hungry grin and patted Klaus's shoulder. As they passed Giuliana, Marcel noticed that she completely ignored him, but she snuck the quickest of glances at Klaus. Their eyes met for barely a second, but that action alone made Marcel think that there was more to those two than Klaus was letting on.
Immortality Is Many Things
"So, you and Klaus?" Hayley questioned with a smirk.
Giuliana shook her head, continuing with her work. "What about it?"
"Well, I know that he likes you and I did catch you two practically having sex in that chair." She wrinkled her nose.
Frenzied lips moved hungrily over on another's and Klaus's hands tightened around Giuliana's waist. She took his swollen bottom lip between her teeth and yanked it into her mouth, suckling it wantonly. Klaus growled loudly and broke the kiss to trail his lips down the side of her neck. Giuliana's hands threaded through Klaus's short hair, her nails scratching against his scalp.
"Thanks for reminding me," the ex-hunter deadpanned.
Easy Ain't One Of Them
"All of this...it's all a mistake." He said.
"Like the part when you slept with Hayley." The brunette growled and he rushed to tower over her.
"Why should you care?" He asked her and she looked away from him. Klaus took her chin in his hands, directing her gaze to meet his.
"I shouldn't, but I do." She replied quietly as his thumb ran back and forth over her jaw line.
"I know you shouldn't care, but tell me why you do." He wasn't compelling her, but his deep, soothing tone was making her slowly unravel before him. Her lips opened and closed, trying to form some kind of sound, but she was speechless.
The brunette looked cautiously over her shoulder, feeling a presence but the alleyway behind her was completely empty. She pulled her jacket closer around her, swallowing thickly before quickly making her way out of the deserted alley. Her heels clicked loudly against the wet pavement and she sighed in relief once she made it out of the dark alley and onto a populated street.
Shrouded in shadow was the cause of her uneasiness. Marcel's gaze watched Giuliana's form become smaller and smaller as she ran away, but the pounding of her heartbeat was ringing in his ears. She constantly denied his advances, but that didn't mean that he'd give up on her that easily.
The Originals. Special Premiere event. Thursday October 3rd on the CW.
Well, Elijah seems awfully protective of Giuliana and Marcel thinks that she'd make a good queen for the French Quarter. Could Giuliana and Hayley actually become friends?! Marcel seems very intent on having Giuliana for himself, but he does realize that Klaus has taken a bit of a liking to her. Will Marcel find out about Hayley's baby? Will Klaus be able to take down his former friend turned rival or will his plan be foiled? Stay tuned and please review!
