Chapter twenty three

Papa Tunde's body is lying in the middle of the compound in a magical circle of salt with blood all over his white suit. "Ok, so this is how we get the news of the dead now—the body lying in the middle of the house. Great work everyone Mr Tunde is dead in our compound" I shouted while coming down the stair all annoyed. Was it good manners to put a dead body in the middle of the house?

Diego gave me a side-eyed. As he spoke on the phone "Either our witch problems are over, or they're just getting started."

Elijah entered the scene along with Klaus and Marcel. He crouches down to examine Papa Tunde's corpse, while Marcel and Klaus stand beside him and watch. "Can I get you anything, brother? A magnifying glass? A pipe, perhaps?" said Niklaus sarcastically, which did not amuse anyone much.

"You have a theory you'd like to share with us, Niklaus?" said Elijah not in a mode to entertain Niklaus. Marcel spoke up providing some history to the scene "Back in the day, the witches wanted to send a threat, they'd just kill a chicken and leave it on your doorstep" Taking a deep breath I said, "It's rather a large and ominous chicken, wouldn't you say?" Niklaus spoke up "Papa Tunde defeated Rebekah with ease, and almost got the two of us as well. If he was supposed to be the prize fighter, why leave him for dead in our front yard?"

No one was able to think or understand what was the purpose of the dead body.

That's when Rebekah entered. "Well, don't you look cheery? Listen to this-- A girl exploded from a grave today as Sabine was giving a tour of the city of the dead. It was Monique Deveraux."

Everyone was shocked. Suddenly a harvest girl woke up.

Now everything was making sense. Old witches stole the spot of the young bright witches.

Rebekah continued "The tourists thought it was part of the show, but the witches are celebrating like it's some kind of bloody miracle" Marcel was satisfied hearing this news. He was getting hope "Maybe it is. They think that all hope is lost, but now suddenly a Harvest girl is resurrected. This is how we're gonna get Davina back-– kill the witch who took her place."

What an easy plan!

"I have a theory about who one of them could be" Hayley entered with some information. "Celeste. I mean, it's got to be. Davina was trying to tell us, she was drawing pictures of Celeste. She was warning us that a great evil is coming" Klaus is super annoyed with all the witch stuff interfering with our lives "First, Papa Tunde returns to settle old scores, now your murdered lover is back. This isn't witches attacking vampires. They're declaring war on us."

I drag Klaus upstairs to talk. "Listen. Witches are involved and I just think that in all their power they will try to kill you. So try to come out alive from all this. Promise me this!" Nik placed his hand on my cheeks rubbing his thumb on them. "I promise my love that I'll be there with you all the time. Forever!" I kissed his cheeks when his phone beeped and Rebekah called me downstairs.

That was our cue to leave each other's company once again.

Rebekah and Hayley dragged me along with them to the former Mikaelson mansion, "I thought I was gonna have to drag you to the plantation kicking and screaming" Rebekah said to both of us. Hayley spoke up on my behalf too "Yeah, well, we all just wanna protect us and the baby, right?" Rebekah raises her eyebrows in disbelief "Hey, I'm on your side, remember? So, what gives?" Hayley sighed and spoke "Tonight's a full moon, Rebekah" "So Scar being kind as always helped to stop your transformation for a month."

We both sensed it was something else than the moon Hayley was trying to say. 

We were right about her "Yes, but I wanted to invite a few people over..."  

"Of course. Every red-blooded American werewolf will be a bundle of fur and sharp teeth tonight, whilst your cursed Crescent Clan will be–"

"Human, but only for a few hours, and won't be again until the next full moon, so... I asked Josh to get a message out to Eve in the Bayou" Hayley tried to win the argument.

"Josh isn't dead yet? Well good on him. We love a nice survival story isn't it R?" Rebekah smirked at my statement. 

Rebekah notices a man wheeling a dolly out of the house. Rebekah surprised as I am asked, "Who the bloody hell is that?" Hayley casually commanded to the man "Kegs out back, alright?" The man agrees to her. Hayley clears her throat awkwardly and turns back to us

Rebekah amusingly said "Right. It appears you weren't gonna wait for me to permit you to throw a kegger. Hayley replied "Listen, you all want us safe? Fine. I'll do as I'm told. I'll play along with her the damsel in the glass tower. But tonight's the one night a month that I can meet my family. Now, you could rat me out and send us to my room, or you could help me throw one hell of a party" I was clueless because according to Hayley I was a part of the plan. "I'll myself take care of Scarlett. I promise" I sighed "Does my opinion count, can I be asked if I want to participate in this all?" Hayley puppy-eyed me, I scoffed and agreed with her.

Later I was sitting inside, I was having a twitch in my stomach that something wasn't right. I can feel it. Something. Something bad is going to happen. God knows what.

In a moment only Rebekah's scream calling Hayley pulled me out of it. Hayley was in a bit of pain but she shrugged it off. I didn't want to get involved in the party so I sat there observing everything. I called Niklaus before but he didn't pick up, don't know where is he.

Most of the party has moved into the backyard, which has been decorated with dozens of candles and strings of lights. Some werewolves are playing instruments while the others dance to the music. Off to the side, Oliver is trying to get Rebekah to dance with him. Hayley has just walked back inside, where she's tidying up empty cups and beer cans in the living room. A Crescent werewolf with shaggy, curly brown hair comes up behind Hayley and joins her. I tried to hear them and the things I got to know were fascinating. Jackson and Hayley were supposed to get married. Wow!

Later someone witch told them that I was breaking their curse. Time to interrupt.

" Mr new husband of Hayley to be I did not say that I'll break your curse" Hayley's eyes shifted between me and the wolf boy. "You heard?"I nodded at her words. "Not you I know. You are Klaus' girl no one is supposed to say, talk or harm you. Witch friend of Hayley's I'm talking about" Hayley was all confused "What witch friend?" we both asked him at the same time.

We called Elijah. He answered he was breathing heavily. "Hayley" 

"Something is going on with the witch E," I said knowing he was in pain. "Listen Hayley was right. Celeste is back. Niklaus, Rebekah-- you're all in danger" 

"It is a trap" Hayley told to Jackson.

"Hayley Scarlett, you both have to find Rebekah. Stay with her until I get there" 

A fire starts around the perimeter of the plantation house. When we went to rush out the door, we couldn't because a boundary spell had been set over the threshold.

"Elijah, it's a spell. They're trapping us inside" Hayley told him on the phone. Call ended.
 "We have to get out of here" I said as we moved forward the fire grew. Jackson tried to break the window with the stool only for the stool to break and the window intact. Hayley grabbed a wet tablecloth for me to breathe through. Everything was a mess I knew something was off. The fire continues growing in size, burning its way up the walls toward the ceiling. Suddenly, the window shatters. It's Elijah, who has thrown himself through the wall from the outside to save us. He grabs us and vamp-speeds us outside to safety. He asked us about Rebekah's whereabouts. 

I spoke up "I don't know. She went off with one of them" Hayley looked at him urgently "Elijah, my friend is still in there" Elijah doing what she said and dropping Jackson next to her.

"Elijah, what is happening?" He looked at me "Celeste." 

Niklaus

Elijah found the place where Rebekah was but he was late. They took her. We returned to the compound and Elijah furiously storms toward Marcel. "Where is my brother" Elijah, enraged, starts throwing vampires against the walls. "Elijah!" I tried to calm him but his anger for apat. I was boiling from inside. I tried everything always to keep everyone safe. Now look Klaus and Rebekah are god knows where. 

Damn the witches.

"Klaus threw one of his classic temper tantrums, snapped my neck, and tried to take on a coven of witches by himself. He got dropped. I don't know where he is or how to find him" Marcel justified himself. "They also have Rebekah. Every one of you will help us to find them. I'm gonna kill them all" I stated as clearly as it was because enough is enough.
