Chapter Sixteen
Disclaimer: I do not own the Vampire Diaries or the Originals, but I do own my OCs.
Summary: Blair has been on the run for 400 years, trying to escape her past. She never stays in once place long enough, but she finds herself drawn to New Orleans and it is there that she meets the Originals. She soon finds herself drawn into their drama and ends up connecting with the Noble Original, Elijah Mikaelson. Slowburn.
ORIGINALS
Around an hour later, Blair and Hayley had transported Celeste's unconscious body to the Bayou. During this time, Hayley had explained why she wanted the Witch so badly. Apparently, Celeste had inhabited the body of Brynne Deveraux and placed the curse upon the Crescent Wolves so either only Celeste or a Deveraux could break the curse. However, the Deveraux's seemed to be coming in short supply as Sophie was dead – according to Hayley's sources – and so the body hoping Witch was Hayley's only other option. Going along with the pregnant Wolf's plan, Blair had tied Celeste to a tree using magic and then placed the magic blocking cuffs that she had stolen from Danielle. There was no way Celeste was getting free or would be able to use magic. To make things even better, Hayley and Eve – a woman from the Bayou – had armed themselves with guns and all the Wolves circled the unconscious Witch, all ready to attack in a moment's notice.
Breathing in deeply, Hayley looked to the Fae, "Do it,"
Wordlessly, Blair flicked her wrist and watched as consciousness came back to Celeste. Slowly, her eyes took in the scene before her and when she tried to moved, she noticed she was well and truly stuck. Celeste glared at Blair, who smirked tauntingly, and then glanced at Hayley. "What is this? Payback? Look, I am sorry. I wasn't after you." She said looking to the Wolves cautiously.
Eve glared at the Witch angrily, "So what? We were just collateral damage? You almost burned her and Jackson alive in the plantation fire." Eve sent a thankful glance in Blair's direction, one the Fae chose to ignore. Jackson growled lowly in the background, letting his feelings be known of the situation.
Celeste moved slightly, her expression unremorseful. This set Hayley off as she fired off her gun suddenly, the loud noise echoing throughout the Bayou. The violent sound made Celeste jump in fright. "Careful, sudden moves make me jumpy and homicidal," Hayley glared down darkly at the Witch as she reloaded her weapon.
Blair shot her a look, one that was intrigued.
"You're going to kill me, honey?" Celeste asked in a condescending manner.
"No, we know better," Blair said, her tone icy. "We know all about your methods of jumping into other people's bodies."
Hayley grinned, "That's not going to happen here. Blair placed those magic draining cuffs on you so you can't use magic. If you try anything then Eve will kneecap you," She motioned to Eve, who looked more than happy to go through with this threat. "Go for her, and then, well, I'll really make it hurt,"
"And any injuries you do suffer, I will heal. So we can hurt you all over again," Blair smirked viciously.
Unnerved, Celeste closed her eyes a breathed in deeply. "What do you want?"
Satisfied, Hayley answered. "Back in the nineties, you were ordered by Marcel to place a curse on the Crescent Wolves when you inhabited the body of Brynne Deveraux. This curse made so they could only become human on a full moon," The Wolves growled in the background, letting their discontentment be known of their situation.
Realisation hit Celeste hard, "You want revenge,"
"I want you to undo the curse," Hayley answered bluntly.
Celeste frowned and looked at the Wolves. They all growled at her and Jackson moved closer. In his Wolf form, he moved to be nearer to Hayley but also making it clear that he would attack without question. Celeste looked to the Fae, who stared at her in a bored manner and then back to Eve, who cocked her gun. Sighing deeply, Celeste conceded. "Fine. But I need a few ingredients first,"
With that, everyone got to work. Eve and the Wolves went off to collect the herbs Celeste asked for while Hayley and Blair stayed with Celeste. Soon, all the ingredients were gathered and Celeste began making the potion that would break the curse. As she did this, Blair watched Celeste with a critical eye. Any herb that was used was watched carefully in case she slipped in anything poisonous. Celeste placed the herbs into a jar and pulverised it until it became a paste, from there she added water and stirred once more. Once complete, Celeste looked up, "Here, it's done,"
Cautiously, Hayley took the jar and looked at it. She didn't know whether it was safe to drink, it looked putrid but if it helped the Wolves then she would be willing to give it a try. However, she had serious reservations.
Sensing her doubt, Celeste explained, "It is herbs ground into a paste. It'll act as a conduit for the spell. On the next full moon, your people will become human, feed it to them and then the curse will be broken,"
Hayley looked down at the green liquid, "Great way to poison us all at once," It would be very convenient, something the Wolves had thought about as they circled closer.
Celeste's expression was one of annoyance. "If you don't believe me, have your Fae look at it," She sneered at Blair as if she was scum. It was something Blair was very much used and so didn't bother her.
Wordlessly, Hayley handed it to Blair to examine. Taking the bottle, Blair examined it, using her magic to discern whether or not this concoction would work. As she worked, the tension in the Bayou rose, everyone on the edge of their seat for her decision. The Wolves paced around, their steps more frantic than before and Eve shifted nervously. However, the worst person was Hayley, who couldn't seem to stand in one spot due to nerves. If this didn't work then Hayley didn't know what she was going to do. After a few more seconds of silence, Blair looked to Hayley, "No poisonous substances, it should be safe,"
Hayley visibly relaxed and nodded her head, taking back the elixir.
Just then, Blair phone vibrated. Moving away from everyone, she plucked out the phone from her jacket pocket and saw that Elijah was calling her. "What?"
"Where are you?" Elijah demanded without missing a beat.
"I am with Hayley," Blair answered, sparing a glance at Celeste and Hayley. Just because it seemed as though Celeste was helping them didn't mean she was going to believe it. Blair believed that Celeste had something planned and she intended to ruin whatever plan Celeste had in mind. "Hayley followed after us and knocked Celeste out. We're in the Bayou,"
There was silence on the other line for a while. For a moment, Blair thought that Elijah had hung up but she saw the line was still connected. "I'll be right there," Elijah said before he ended the call. Putting the phone away, Blair walked back to the Wolves and Hayley. Celeste and Hayley appeared to be having a chat, one that seemed to agitate the Wolves.
"I actually like you. I was you, caring for Elijah when he cared more for his brother," Celeste said passionately, "I ended up dead and so did a lot of the others. Call this a chance to do what I was too in love to give myself. It is a chance to free yourself from the Originals,"
Eve looked to Hayley, "You believe her?"
Hayley frowned and was about to answer when the Wolves began to growl lowly. Blair turned her head when she felt Elijah's presence arrive onto the scene. Elijah stood in a new suit, the other had become damaged in his altercation with his brother, and he stared down at Celeste in utter disgust. "Whatever she has promised you, it is a lie," Elijah said calmly as he pointed to the bound Witch. He had run to the Bayou as quickly as his Vampire speed would allow him. The thought of having Celeste anywhere near Hayley shook him, even though he was confident Blair could protect her. Celeste unnerved him because of how far she had fallen to get her revenge and he would put nothing past her.
Hayley looked to him and her eyes softened as his concern, "It is okay. I am okay, Elijah,"
Elijah's eyes cut to Blair, silently inquiring. Blair nodded her head slowly, indicating that everything was fine and everything was under control. "She cannot be trusted," Elijah said, moving closer.
"She is the only one who can help my pack," Hayley argued back, her grip on the elixir tightening slightly.
"Actually, there is still another Deveraux alive," Blair pointing out, referring to Monique Deveraux. However, it seemed as though Hayley did not appreciate this comment and glared in the Fae's direction.
There was a dark look in Elijah's eyes. "Do you have any idea what she has done to our family?" He had spent most of the morning dealing with Niklaus while also telling Rebekah to run, who had stubbornly refused. Rebekah had argued that their brother would hunt her down to the end of time and she refused to go back to that lifestyle after having to run from their father. Camille was currently with Niklaus and he hoped his brother would be calmed enough to where he wouldn't hunt their baby sister down. This whole incident had deeply wounded his family and Elijah would never forgive Celeste for what she had done.
"I know you want revenge and come the next full moon, when I am sure her cure works, she is all yours," Hayley promised.
Blair shot her a look and frowned, this was not in their agreement. When Blair had helped Hayley, they had agreed that after Celeste undid the curse, she would belong to Blair and she could do what she wanted. This annoyed her because she didn't like it when people went back on their promises. She was very tempted to say something but found herself intrigued between the interaction of Hayley and Elijah, curious to see where this would go.
"Are you suggesting we hold her for a month? Her? It would take an army," Elijah said, puzzled that Hayley would even suggest this notion.
Hayley stared back at him cockily, "And I have one," As if to prove her point further, the Wolves around Hayley howled loudly in agreement. Even in the distant where some Wolves lay, they howled their approval. "So help me or get out of my way,"
Elijah tensed, his shoulders squared back. He did not like the option and he refused to back down. He did not trust Celeste and did not believe her actions to be noble.
Feeling this tension in the air, Blair stepped closer. "Elijah, the elixir is legit. I watched her prepare it and checked with my magic," Every move that Celeste had made had been under her careful watch. If even for a second she suspected Celeste of foul play then she would have made the Witch pay a thousand times over. However, now she wished she hadn't bothered. Hayley had practically declared that she wasn't going along with their agreement so she would have to deal with the consequences. She was in full favour of whatever Elijah wanted to have done to Celeste, Hayley's wishes be damned.
Elijah turned to her and seemed to consider her words, his shoulders relaxing a touch. Within a flash, Elijah grabbed Blair and Celeste and ran them to a deserted place in the woods. Blair blinked and she was elsewhere, far away from Hayley and the pack of Wolves. For a moment, she was confused. She had never travelled at the speed of a Vampire and it was definitely different. She could still sense Hayley and the pack but they were far away. Blair looked around and spotted Celeste, cornered by a tree with Elijah stood over her, the elixir in his hands.
"What game are you playing?" Elijah demanded, not in the mood for fun and games.
Celeste smirked, "No games."
"You condemned her people to decades of agony and now you just break the curse without so much of a whimper, why?" Elijah was searching for answers, ones that would make sense.
For a moment, Celeste frowned and there was pain in her eyes. However, it was done as quickly as it was there. "It is the best thing I could do for her and it is the worst possible thing I could do to you," There was a malicious gleam in her eyes, one that annoyed Blair.
"What are you saying?" Blair asked, confused by her reasoning.
"That, no matter what happens now, you've lost her." Celeste said, the smirk back on her face. "You destroy that jar, you kill me, and then Hayley will hate you for snatching her family away from her. Now if you give her the jar we both know that she'll leave you in the end to be with them. I know that as long as she's alive and happy and fulfilled in ways you can't even imagine, then I get my revenge. So you decide, give her everything she ever wants and lose her or deny it and see what happens then." There was a tone of arrogance in her voice, thinking that she had won. She believe that she had cornered the Noble Original after all these years.
The vein in Elijah's jaw twitched in a violent manner.
Having enough of Celeste's smug expression, Blair's eyes glowed purple as she waved her hand. Celeste fell to the ground in a heap, unconscious. "Her whole revenge plan relies on your feelings for Hayley," Blair commented as she stared down at the unconscious Witch.
"To bad she is wrong," Elijah commented lightly.
Blair looked to him, "Is she?"
"Not only would it be foolish to fall for the mother of Niklaus' child, it would be seen as an act of betrayal," Elijah said as he looked to the Fae. There was no denying that his brother was possessive over his possessions and that also included people. He had been ever since they turned into Vampires a thousand years ago.
Blair arched a surprise brow. She had thought that Elijah had feelings for Hayley but it seemed as though she was wrong.
Feeling her surprise, Elijah smirked, "At first, I felt some affection for Hayley. It could have developed into something more but it didn't. I realised how badly it would end when she betrayed my trust and made me break my promise to Celeste. Regardless of my feelings towards the Witch, I always honour my promises," After that incident, he had separated himself from Hayley, taking time away to truly examine the situation. He soon found his affections for Hayley to fizzle out. If it hadn't been for the child then he would have never noticed Hayley.
"Good to know you have some sense," Blair snorted in agreement.
Elijah flashed her an amused look before he turned serious. "Niklaus has been detained. I and Rebekah tried to reason with him to no avail, he still means to kill Rebekah. I had instructed for her and Marcel to leave immediately but they refused," After struggling in the Sanatorium, Elijah had managed to gain the upper hand and stab Niklaus in the chest with the blade he had threatened Rebekah with. It had shocked him see the blade disappear into his chest but it had now been removed. Elijah had Raphael collect Camille – the only person he believed wouldn't be harmed in his brother's rage – to assist in calming down the Hybrid's fury.
"Would that have been a good idea?" Blair questioned with a frown, "Klaus will hunt her to the ends of the earth. That will only enrage him more," Katherina had vented how exhausting it was running from Klaus because of how ruthless he was. The longer she ran, the long the pain he would inflect on her if he caught her. Blair was certain Rebekah would not want to live that life.
Falling silent, Elijah silently agreed with her words. "Marcel also refuses to leave without Davina,"
Blair scowled, "Over my dead body," There was no way he would get his hands on Davina, who was in a perfectly safe location and under her direct protection. She had asked the young Witch to stay there longer with Timothy and Josh and she had been more than happy. Davina could feel that a war was brewing and she wanted no part of it.
"I plan on visiting the Witches today. Concerning her," Elijah said as he looked down at Celeste. He knew that Celeste would turn on the Witches and he would make sure they were aware of what was planned. "However, I need to ask a favour,"
"Depends on the favour?" Blair asked with an arched brow. He was asking for a favour rather than demanding one – a much welcomed action compared to last time when he demanded that she tutor Davina.
Slowly, Elijah reached into his pocket and pulled out the cursed blade. When Blair saw it, she hissed lowly and stepped away from it. Being close to it made her feel sick, nearly as much when pure iron was near her. "I need this disposing of," He said, frowning at her action. He could not understand her strong response and he almost hide the blade from her sight but stopped himself.
"I can," Blair glared at the blade. "I would gladly destroy that cursed item," It angered her that it was even in her presence. Dark items gave off a whisper to her, they whispered the dark atrocities they would commit if given the chance. They sang dark tales of their creation and they always sounded like children – demonic and possessed children. The stronger the dark object, the louder the whispers and song, and right now, it was very loud. With a wave of her hand, the blade vanished for Blair to deal with later. She would deal with it like she dealt the knife Danielle had, away from everyone else and their ashes scattered so it could never be recreated.
With the blade gone, Elijah relaxed a touch. "Now that blade cannot be used to hurt Rebekah," His brother had threatened Rebekah with its agony and now it was no more. Just like the white oak stakes Niklaus would taunt them with, they were in a place no one would find.
"That won't stop him," Blair warned with a frown.
"It won't," Elijah agreed with a sigh, "But maybe it will minimize the damage," He then looked at the unconscious Celeste. "I need you to bring her to the Witch Cemetery. I will text you when I need her moved," He had plans for Celeste, to make her pay for harming his family. However, he would need to pay Monique a visit and get her on side first. It would be very easy to ask Blair to use her magic for this task, but it would be so much more satisfying to watch as the Witches realised Celeste was not on their side and in fact betrayed them.
Blair nodded her, "I can do that. Do you need her alive?" His response would dictate how Blair got her revenge for the attack on Davina.
Elijah nodded his head and this made Blair sigh. "You don't need to kill her to get your revenge," He smirked at her reaction.
"She will wish she was by the time I am done with her," Blair glared at Celeste's body, imagining how she would make the Witch pay.
For a moment, Elijah considered asking what Celeste had done but he chose not to. This was her business and as long as Celeste was alive nothing else mattered. Knowing how dangerous Celeste could be, Elijah stepped closer to the Fae. "Be careful with her. Don't allow her to get into your head," He handed over the elixir, knowing it would be safe with her.
Blair stared at him, their eyes meeting once more. She could see concern in his eyes and this made her frown and angry. Blair knew that she should be offended that he seemed to Celeste could overpower her but then she considered everything the Witch had done. No doubt, he knew Celeste better than anyone else and she had hurt his family and him. Blair suddenly felt her rage increase because she didn't like the thought of another person hurting Elijah. It was an odd feeling. "I'll be fine. Now go, I want my revenge,"
Elijah stared at her for a moment longer before he was gone.
Now alone, Blair looked down at Celeste and then she smirked. Her revenge could begin and Hayley was nowhere in sight to interrupt her fun. With a wave of her hand, Celeste was pinned to a nearby tree and she was awake. Groaning, Celeste opened her eyes and saw that she was alone with the Fae.
"Oh, it is you," Celeste sneered in disgust.
Ignoring the jab, Blair twisted her hand and watched smugly as pain shot through the Witch. Celeste winced loudly and her face scrunched up in pain as a burning sensation filled her head. "You really picked the wrong Fae to mess with," Blair said as her eyes glowed a violent purple colour. The anger inside her was simmering but it would soon boil over if Celeste continued to run her mouth.
As the pain subsided, Celeste's attitude came back. "You came into my territory. You shouldn't even be here. You child snatchers should have stayed away,"
Glaring at the Witch, Blair's anger rose, however it wasn't Celeste's words that had incensed her. "You attacked Davina. She is under my protection. She is mine," After putting the mark on Davina, she had seen the young little Witch as hers. Davina was like a cub, one that needed mentoring and protection, exactly what she hadn't got from her Coven.
There was confusion on Celeste's face but then she scowled. "Why does she even matter? She's a dumb kid," When Celeste saw the anger in Blair's eyes, she smirked tauntingly, "Maybe Davina should be the next body I take over, she'd be a fun person to play,"
Blair's anger had reached boiling point. With a wave of her hand, she watched with sadistic satisfaction as Celeste screamed out as pain filled her. Currently, Blair had turned the temperature up on Celeste's internal organs, holding onto them and squeezing tighter when the Witch annoyed her. She was very tempted to kill Celeste but stopped herself because she knew Elijah needed her alive and he deserved this kill more than anyone, even her.
As the pain subsided, Celeste laughed hysterically. "Why don't you just kill me and get it over with?"
"And let the fun stop so soon?" Blair snorted haughtily, "No chance. I may not be able to kill you, but I can certainly make you hurt," With a wicked grin, Blair's eyes glowed purple as she manipulated her magic. Blair squeezed harder on Celeste's heart and watched as the Witch choked out a cry, in far too much pain to protest.
Cracked sticks echoed behind Blair and that's when she frowned. She would need to stop her fun because she sensed Hayley's presence behind her. Sighing deeply, Blair waved her hand and watched as Celeste fell unconscious, crumpling to the ground. Turning around, Blair saw Hayley as she marched over, a furious expression on her face.
"Where is Elijah?" Hayley demanded. After Blair and Elijah had disappeared with the elixir and Celeste, she had tried to find them. Luckily, the Wolves had guided her to their location otherwise she would have struggled. The forest was huge and would be very easy for someone to hide especially when she didn't know the forest very well.
"Gone," Blair answered blandly.
Hayley huffed angrily but then she spotted Celeste's unconscious body on the ground. "What are you doing? I need her!" She exclaimed, taking a step closer to the Fae.
Blair rolled her eyes, "She's fine. For now,"
"No, you don't get to touch her. I need her in case that potion doesn't work," Hayley said, folding her arms over her chest as she looked at the elixir in Blair's hands.
Blair arched a brow, "We had an agreement that Celeste was mine after you got your cure. Your potion will work, I checked it for you." In her eyes, Hayley had no need for Celeste, she had served her purpose. Surely there would be nothing wrong with Blair taking over Celeste's capture, after all, that's what they had agreed on in the first place. It still angered Blair that Hayley had attempted to go back on her deal and it was something the Fae would never forget. "Now go away, I have thing I need to do," She said as she turned away from the pregnant Wolf, obviously dismissing her.
Hayley grit her teeth.
When Hayley showed no signs of leaving, Blair glared at her as she threw the elixir and watched as Hayley rushed to grab it before it fell onto the ground. Hayley held the cure close to her chest, watching Blair with guarded eyes. "Go before I decide to ruin the elixir," If she was pushed, she would tamper with the potion Celeste had made. Blair didn't care about the Wolves, she had no personal interest in them and they weren't the pack that housed her when she left. However, if Hayley or anyone from that pack got in her way then she wouldn't hesitate to make them regret it.
Growling lowly, Hayley stomped off with the cure in hand, leaving Blair alone.
Turning back around, Blair looked down at Celeste and smirked, "Now, where were we?"
ORIGINALS
Hours had passed since Hayley had stormed away and left Blair to her fun. It was nearing night time and it was only then that Blair had received word from Elijah to bring Celeste to the cemetery. In that time waiting, Blair had her time torturing Celeste in ways that would drive anyone crazy. She had made Celeste experience a constant amount of pain, only lifting it for a moment before she endured even more. It was truly a sight to watch the cruel Witch on the floor, writhing in pain to which there was no escape. When that got boring, Blair would inflict physical slashes on the Witch's body while also healing her so she didn't die. Elijah needed her alive for now and so that was something she would need to work with.
After dumping Celeste's body with Elijah, Blair walked away feeling very satisfied. She had fulfilled her need for blood and truly felt Davina had been avenged. This had also allowed her to vent some of her pent up anger she had been feeling the past couple of weeks and Blair had never felt lighter and more at peace.
It was as she was walking away from the Witch cemetery that she received a frantic message from Raphael. 'Blair, we need your help now!' He yelled through their mental link.
Blair stopped walking, 'What happened?' She had left Raphael with Rebekah because he had been so adamant about protecting her – something she would need to address with him when they had time.
'Klaus has a white oak stake and is attacking Rebekah! Elijah is trying to defend her but Klaus won't listen to reason,' Raphael explained quickly.
'Has he seen you?' Blair asked as she turned around and began walking back in the direction she came from. If Raphael was still there then she needed to make sure he was safe and Klaus hadn't seen him. He would not take kindly to there being another Fae, especially one that had attempted to kidnap Hayley.
'No, I am in the shadows. I am leading Rebekah to safer spaces but she can't leave the cemetery. Apparently before Celeste was killed, she cast a barrier spell so none of the Originals can leave until the next morning,' Raphael explained, dragging Rebekah away from the fighting. Rebekah didn't fight against him and let him lead her.
Blair mentally cursed. Someone must have removed the magic blocking cuff she'd had on Celeste. She wondered who had been stupid enough to do that. 'Fine, I am on my way. Stay away from Klaus.' Blair ordered before she cut off the mental link between the two of them. She picked up her pace, intending to get there as soon as possible. She needed to get Raphael out before Klaus discovered him.
It took minutes for her to arrive back in the cemetery and that's when she sensed the barrier surrounding the area. It was a powerful one, one that would lock anyone inside for twenty four hours. Magic sparked at her fingertips, very eager to take down the barrier but Blair stopped herself. She didn't want to waste her magic on something she may not even need, all she wanted to do was to get Raphael out and that was it. If she couldn't do that then she would try and protect him as best as she could. Stepping into the cemetery, Blair expanded her senses, trying to locate Raphael and she quickly found him, he was hidden away in the back of the cemetery with Rebekah by his side.
With light footsteps, Blair quietly made her way over to them. Her eyes scanning the area, she was aware that Klaus and Elijah were also there and she didn't want to run into the Hybrid or distract Elijah from protecting Rebekah.
"Are you okay?" Blair asked when saw Raphael.
Raphael sighed in relief when he saw her, "Yeah, we're okay. Klaus hasn't seen me but he's crazy mad right now," He turned his head and looked at the terrified Rebekah. She was sat a few feet away, hidden from plain sight. Rebekah was listening in to what Klaus and Elijah were saying but Raphael's hearing wasn't as powerful as hers so he couldn't hear much.
Blair nodded her head, "Come on, let's go," She grabbed Raphael by and arm and tried to lead him out of the cemetery but he resisted.
"No, I am staying," Raphael said as he pulled his arm away from Blair. "I said I would help protect Rebekah and you said you'd help," His voice was low and whisper-like so Klaus didn't overhear him. There would be no point hiding from him if the Hybrid could hear him talking.
Sighing in aggravation, Blair mentally cursed. She had agreed to help but that was only because she had been forced into it. "Fine, but I want you watching Hayley while I help deal with this," Blair said, not wanting Raphael anywhere near this situation.
For a moment, Raphael looked to Rebekah and then frowned. "…Okay. But promise that you'll try and keep her safe,"
Blair stared at him apathetically, "Don't push it,"
Grinning weakly, Raphael made no other complaints. He shot Rebekah one last glance before he and Blair made it to the exit of the cemetery. Rebekah watched them go, a blank expression on her face. Too much had happened that day and she was emotionally drained with having to deal with her brother trying to kill her for real this time. However, even she couldn't deny that she felt disappointed by Raphael's absence.
Once they made it to the exit safely, Blair waved her hand, using her magic to manipulate the barrier that surrounded the cemetery. A hole appeared in the barrier with just enough room for Raphael to make it out safely. Raphael thanked Blair quickly before he jumped out and ran in the direction of the Bayou, mentally praying that everything would work out.
Using her magic, Blair closed the barrier with her magic and sighed deeply. Things were not easy and she really did regret coming to New Orleans. Suddenly, the hairs on the back of her neck stood on end and she whirled around, but she wasn't quick enough to avoid the attack. A knife was thrown in Blair's direction, one that was impossible to miss. Blair hissed lowly as the knife stabbed her in the chest and she fell to her knees. She nearly screamed when that familiar burning sensation filled her being. Someone had thrown had stabbed her with an iron knife and it caused the glamour around her to flicker for a moment.
Blair looked up just in time to see Klaus appear in front of her, glaring at her in hatred. "Fuck you," Blair spat at him, blood pouring from her mouth. The knife had cut into her lungs and she was finding it very hard to breath.
Klaus growled lowly as he reached forward and snapped her neck, the sound echoing throughout the graveyard. Blair's lifeless body fell to the ground limply. Klaus stared down at her body, a feral rage in his eyes. He had sworn that Blair would pay and now she had with her life and when she came back to life, he would make her pay even more for siding against him. Klaus yanked the iron blade from Blair's body before he ran off so Elijah didn't catch him.
