Klaus picks up his phone after seven miss calls, and an agitated Marcel waits on the other end of the line.
" Klaus I've been calling you for the past hour, I don't know about you but when I ask somebody to hide a body and they call twenty times it'd be best to pick up."
"Was I wrong to assume you and your mates would be able accomplish such an elementary task?"
Hope sits on the ground next to her father playing quietly. Klaus continues to brush the baby-dolls blonde hair, while talking on the phone.
"Well yeah maybe because we can't get rid of something that's not here."
"WHAT? What do you mean?" his body goes rigid and tense. He walks away from his daughter and onto the balcony.
"Your mysterious body Klaus, it's not here. I would say that the ambulance bagged and tagged him, but some of my guys checked the morgue and with the local mortician, no emergency vehicles came through the area within in the past forty eight hours".
"Someone or something had to move it, corpse's don't remove themselves".
" Klaus you need to let me know what's going on right now. I can't help you if I don't know the whole story. What's so important about this body?"
He glances at Hope briefly and walks from the room.
"Too many ears in this household at the moment, stay where you are I'm coming to meet you."
"Fine I'm at Rousseau's, at the bar".
"Not there, anywhere but there. I'll meet you at Jardin Gris, the voodoo shop in the Quarter. Come alone."
…...
"So like I said, no body". Marcel says' as he points to the empty spot once more.
Klaus moves the dumpster, but to no avail still doesn't find anything.
He frantically searches through the dumpster, and then he pushes it, violently slamming it against the concrete wall.
"Klaus, what's going on, bodies don't just get up and walk away. This is my business and my town, just as much as yours".
"Someone attacked me, right here in this very back alley. Physically his strength was almost equally baring to that of an older vampire."
"Why'd he attack you?"
" The details are a bit unclear to specify at this moment. He stalked me, like I was prey, as if I wasn't his better, or the very means to his existence."
"All vampires know of the Mikaelsons, going after them is a death sentence, you of them all pretty ballsy."
Marcel patiently waits, arms folded, trying to fill in the blanks himself. He had to admit though his words left him baffled. Niklaus Mikaelson was NOT prey. Him and prey didn't go in the same sentence, unless of course the other person was the mouse.
"I fought him off, before that I even tried to compel him, the compulsion wouldn't hold".
"Maybe he was a witch, they can't be held under compulsion."
"No, not him. No chants or spells were spoken,not even a murmur . His strength was physically far superior to that of a normal vampire."
"Are you sure?"
Klaus piercing eyes immediately fall on Marcel. He knew not to challenge him, growing up he'd seen that look too many times too count. Klaus was telling the truth, and contesting him to think otherwise would not result in anything good.
"Alright, so what's the end of this story ."
Klaus looks down ashamedly. This was one of those rare times he may be regretting what he did."I staked him, or at least that's what I've perceived to believe. Someone must be trying to get in my head."
"No," Marcel shakes his head, " there's no way you get up from being staked, especially from an original. An original hybrid none the less, you desiccate. That's not possible unless-"
"Unless he's something more, a hybrid."
"You don't think Haley would use hope-"
"Never, that's preposterous just thinking it." Klaus' mind goes back to the time when Elijah and Haley accused him of doing the same, at least he gave her the benefit of the doubt.
"Only you and Hope can create hybrids, maybe he's from the past. A long lost werewolf you forgot about."
"No,remotely impossible. All the wolves I once sired ceased long ago. He is different, however he'll soon enough meet the same demise."
Marcel agreeing, nods.
"I'll send Josh and a few other day walkers I trust to help us run him down, I'll tell them to locate him but not engage. If if did this to you god only knows what he'd to them."
Do you have Elijah helping?"
"No, he's busy at the moment".
Marcel didn't want to ask, getting in between Mikaelson family drama,it didn't end well.
"Okay, before I send my guy's to their death, did this guy have any distinguishing features, bruise marks or clothing anything to help us find him faster?"
"None that I can remember."
Yes, Klaus had lied to Marcel, not intentionally, he never asked was if it a CHILD, he assumed this person was an adult. So until Klaus figured out who this kid was, and why he came after him he'd have to string Marcel along.
