First, he'll lick the sweat from her skin that was caused by her fear revelling in the way her body trembles in fear, in anticipation before he bits into her and tastes the blood on his tongue, the feel of it sliding down his throat.

Lucien felt his fangs descending at the thought of biting the witch that Klaus had grown cozy with. He didn't have much time to spy on her, today was one of those rare moments she didn't have, those dirty vampires following behind her.

He intended to get closer to her today and he had the perfect chance.

"I'm sor-" She began to say, she looked at him and squinted to study his face, is it because I'm a vampire? No, she looks like she'strying to recognise me. She wouldn't he body jumped again, it was simpler so he could move around town easily.

"Your staring is getting creepy," he said with a smirk.

"I'm sorry I just feel like I should know you," Bonnie said.

"Trust me if you did you would never forget," he said flashing his fangs and dragging his tongue against them.

"Well, bye," she said with an attitude. She bumped right into him again. Lucien went to grab her but something told him not to.

He watched the witch leave him behind. Watching her backside, he loved modern women they showed so much skin. He could see why she caught Klaus she had a dark beauty in a rustic way.

~~~~~~~
I love this view Bonnie thought watching the river as she waited for Marcel to appear, she screamed when she felt him suddenly touch her.

She turned around and glared at him, causing him to throw his hands up and give her a cheeky smile that would have melted anyone else.

"Hey I thought you knew I was behind you," He defended himself, The last time she sensed him before, he even touched her, what changed now?

Bonnie rolled her eyes at him and turned around to glance at the view one more time.

"You just wanted to sneak up on me," she said, she walked away from the view and put her bag on his island and turned to face him

"Well, now that I know I could get away with it, I'll definitely try again," he said with a shrug putting his hand on her back and leading her to the room they'd be training.

"You know if you wanted to talk to me you didn't have to ask me to train you." He said

"Can't a girl have both," she said jokingly shrugging getting in the middle of the ring.

Marcel chuckled, I'm going to like her.
"So what do you want to talk about?" he asked he was curious, she knew little of New Orleans but she could be of little to help him there when he asked around about her, it confirmed that she was in fact the witch that almost killed Klaus only reason he survived was because of Elijah's intervention.

"Why don't you beat me and then ask me the questions" she said bouncing on her feet, Marcel immediately tripped her, She almost fell but he caught her hand and pulled her into him.

"If this is concerning killing Klaus, I'm telling you to leave me out of it,"

"I won't exactly need your help, the times I failed to kill Klaus was never because I lacked the power or needed a stick." She said firmly as she pulled away from him

"So are you going to be helpful or was I wrong about you?" She said raising her eyebrows. Wrong about him how? Did the stories of him she heard make him sound good?

"Fine we'll fight until you're tired or you knock me out, no magic and I won't use my strength," he said he wanted to see what she could do, so he could know where she needed improvement.
She nodded at him and got into place studying him.

"So how did you meet Klaus?" He asked, she sent a punch his way which he caught.

"No speed either that's magic," she said

"Habit," he said shrugging they continued sparring getting a feel for each other, sharing their stories about the first time they met Klaus.

When Marcel completely focused on fighting as a human Bonnie got him a few times, She shared that she trained a bit with a weaker vampire and her ex-boyfriend who was a vampire hunter.

"How did you go from a vampire hunter to Vampire supreme?" Marcel asked handing Bonnie some water.

"Him being a vampire hunter is kind of Nik's doing," Bonnie said shrugging

"I'm not surprised," Marcel said Bonnie sat on the floor Indian style. She watched him for a while.

"What do you know about the Strix?" She asked him

"They're all vampires from Elijah's sire line," Marcel asked

"Your adopted daughter is also a witch for them now," Bonnie said stunning Marcel how did she know that? Davina would have told him right.

"Are you sure?" Marcel asked, she nodded and went to her back and took out a book from her bag and came to stand next to him. Next to a list of names was a spell where she continuously scratched and added ingredients to it.

When Marcel studied the list there Davina Claire was at the bottom.

"How do you know this?" Marcel asked

She closed the book and put it under her arm.
"The spirits," she said throwing up her hands "They love to talk about other witches, it's kinda exhausting but also helpful." She shrugged

"The spirits don't they hate Klaus and his family," Marcel asked

"The Mikealsons were there before all this destruction of the earth. I think they are more mad they let that happen than them being freaks of nature." She tells him

"But that's not why I asked about the Strix, I need you to find out more about them, I want you to do it personally." She said emphasizing her last you.

" Klaus doesn't like me in town," Marcel said the last time he saw him it was pure luck that Klaus didn't attack him.

"Clearly that as change," she said raising his eyebrows.

"Bonnie, you need to give me more than finding out about the Strix, risking my life," Marcel said

She rolled her eyes
"I don't like telling that man to behave cause if I do his,"

"Siblings will keep running to you when they have an issue," she nodded when Marcel finished her sentence

"But I'll deal with Nik for you but his threat was clearly just that a threat which I know is rare for him," she said Marcel studied her very few people call Klaus, Nik so he knew whatever was going on between them, he was safe for now.

"The reason I want you to look into the Strix is because, they are looking for a leader, now The leader has to be a vampire, cunning and from Elijah sireline," Bonnie rambled "Now I thought that would be a problem,"

"It will I'm from Klaus's sireline," Marcel says

"But what really defines a sireline, like it's really bloodline and though you are not the Mikealson's blood family," she continued ignoring him. "You were raised by both of them right," she looked at him.

"So you're saying I have a chance because I was raised by them," she nodded

" Look the Strix are worldwide and have a lot of influence, I'll let you find out something for yourself," she said stopping herself from talking too much.

"Why are you telling me this?" Marcel asked

"At first I wanted you to owe me a favour but things change and they won't be needed for that anymore," she said staring off.
"What changed?" He asked why is she speaking so cryptic.

"A lot, I don't know how things will change now that I'm involved but watch Davina," she said looking at him
"Also do you have any idea why they would want her?" She asked,

"What about Elijah?" Marcel asked

"Elijah suspects I'll talk to you about it, he's skeptical given the rules, but he created them, I'm sure he has no problem with you using nepotism just this once," Bonnie sighed

Marcel shook his head, he didn't even know she joined a new coven. He'd definitely talk to her after Bonnie left. He was intrigued why she thought he would make a good fight for the Strix plus if she had his support and somehow had the Mikealsons under her thumb. She'd be useful.

"Also if the strix have any parties I'll be your date," Bonnie said.
They spent

"Are you sure?" Marcel asked, she nodded and went to her back and took out a book from her bag and came to stand next to him. Next to a list of names was a spell where she continuously scratched and added ingredients to it.

"You don't like Elijah huh?" Marcel asked

"Don't like is a bit weak to describe it, I want him dead," she said with venom in his voice

"Is it Elijah you're after?" Marcel asked is that was why she was with Klaus?

"I know you're wondering why am I with Klaus if I hate his brother and I tried to kill him in the past, did he seduce me? am I playing him? Is he playing me?" she said voicing his thoughts

"I think he started that way trying to seduce me not because he needed a witch, Freya pretty much fills that role, he just got excited about being with the one person who was able to bring fear into his heart plus I am his type," she said and marcel nodded she definitely is his type, powerful, pretty and charming but she is not easy not control so why was he still with her.

"Whatever is happening between me and him is our business, If he breaks my heart then you guys should be worried cause I don't think my mother being one of his vampires can make me not kill him," she said with a dark smile.

Thinking of sire lines reminded him of when Davina started to work on a spell to break the sirelines, he wasn't sure what secrets she kept from Klaus so he didn't tell Bonnie but it was a matter of time before she knew.

"So that's why you wanted to talk to me?" Marcel asked, she just nodded.

"I also wanted to see the vampire, who ruled before Klaus and he calls his adopted son. son

"Also if the strix have any parties I'll be your date," Bonnie said.

They spent some more time getting to each other without talking about the Mikealsons or their plans.

~~~~~
The full moon shone bright, surrounded by the noise of fairgoers and yet somehow it only shined on Bonnie and the children, they seemed to soak up the light the moon provided, their skin glowed especially Bonnie's as she drew its light, letting it grace her with its magic, it gave her a soft halo.

His skin grew when she turned to look at him in the eye, laughing at a joke one of the girls told but all he heard was the melody of her enjoying herself. He should be more alert his daughter was here but somehow he was relaxed, she had that effect on him whenever they shared space.

Klaus tried not to get lost in the games and rides with them but he couldn't resist, he loved seeing them smile. It helped him think of the future with Bonnie, they'd have kids, and she had made it slip.

It is ironic how she thought he would leave her with a litter of kids but wouldn't she the one doing that, Any kids they have will live forever and he'd have to carry on watching them grow without her on his side. He knew it would be disastrous with her as a vampire, magic was her life but how could he live without her? He doesn't think he'll have another chance to have someone who experiences all of him and still stays with him.

"I thought I would be grumpy one," she teased him, She wrapped her hands around his waist and leaned her head on his chest, the girls went on a ride without her.

He inhaled her scent, he was so foolish to give his enemies a direct white oak stake to his heart.

"Are you okay?" She asked him reaching her left hand to his jaw her sleeve tickling his skin, he took her and kissed it.

"I'm with my favourite people in the world, what more can an immortal want?" He said pulling her for a slow kiss, he watched her eyes flutter shut as they tongued, and she let out a soft moan, enjoying the feel of his tongue sliding against her. She pulled away with a sigh, frowning when she didn't see his usual smile that was there after they kissed.

"You know we are safe here." She said like him she worried about having the kids around him especially when it's crawling with vampires.

"It's not that," he said simply holding her chin, watching her as if she'd suddenly disappear from in front of him, she gave him a curious look.

"Fine, can we leave in an hour and get some real food?" She asked. He nodded, the girls were about to tire out, especially Hiwa and Hope.

"Baby," she said to draw his attention to her "You okay, you just seem absent," she said worriedly.

"I'm baby now," he said completely ignoring that she was asking about him again, cause Honestly how could he tell her what he wanted?

She tapped her tongue against the roof of her mouth.
"I'm testing it but it doesn't suit you," she'll let go of him ignoring her question for now.

He kissed her nose and they went back to the kids.

As promised, Bonnie and the girls went to a restaurant, watching them talk and giggle about how they added to the atmosphere of the restaurant making it lively.

"So I have a few people who I go join their clubs but I'm looking to be a journalist and photographer for a newspaper and also joining photographers club," Amaka said, but Bonnie was leaving that week and she wasn't sure if she'll be able to pick up Hiwa in the afternoon like she usually does to carry her over to dancing classes, she joined.

"I'll ask Zaci if she could pick up Hiwa until I get back," Bonnie said, causing Amaka to give her a small smile.

Bonnie gazed landed on Hope and Hiwa but they were in their own world planning how they'd tell their classmates about their day, Hope wanted to draw and Hiwa wanted to write, the school as been so good for Hiwa and her dyslexia.

Bonnie looked at Klaus, whose gaze had been on her for a while, brushing his thumb against her thigh, as she looked at him, her eyes shined like precious emeralds reflecting him perfectly all his good and all his dark, reminding him this was his soulmate, she chose him, he thanked whoever allowed him the chance experience her grace, her joy and maybe her love.

She gave him a peck on the lips and then turned to give Amaka her attention until their food arrived.
