Davina stretched her arms in front of her and closed her eyes as she started to cast the resurrection spell, channeling the nexus vorti Klaus created to fuel her magic.

"Le sang des Deux frères, Les cendres de leurs morts. Le sang des Deux frères, Les cendres de leurs morts."

A strong gust of wind blew through the attic as she continued chanting the spell until finally, two ash-covered men suddenly appeared, naked and covering their bits from any eyes. When Davina finally opened her eyes, tears sprouted and she gasped happy, she finally found a way to bring back Kol Mikaelson and Andrew Rogers to the living.

"Mind a few clothes for us, Davina Claire?" Kol asked.

"Oh!" She turned around and a wide smile covered her face. "A little thank you would be nice you know. It took a lot to do all this."

"Thank you, my love," Andrew said with a small smile, wishing he could hug her already.

"Thank you, Davina Claire."

Isabel stood in her bedroom looking at the list of names she had written down. Aurora de Martel, Aya Al-Rashed, Takahashi Fukuda, Arthur Bailey, Cadence Flynn, Isaac Pack, and Claire B, etc. Aya and Aurora's names were already scratched off. She turns around swiftly putting the list in her back pocket when she sensed Hayley entering her room.

"Hey..." she whispered. "I've been looking for you. I thought you were in the Bayou?"

She walked forward pushing Hayley out of the room as Jacob slept peacefully. "I just came home to feed the kids, put them down for a nap. I was about to head back out soon."

Hayley nodded suspiciously and then she noticed a smudge of blood on her sister's forehead and frowned.

"What happened to your head?" She asked as Isabel shut the door.

She quickly wiped it off and nonchalantly said, "nothing. I just got caught on a thorn."

"Okay well, I just wanted to check on you today since I haven't seen you much. You've either been with the Crescents or the kids avoiding us all."

"I've just been a bit busy. I have to step up with the pack and take care of so many. It's all a little..." she sighed. "Listen I have some things to do right now did you need anything else?"

Although Hayley was worried she wasn't telling everything she nodded. "Nope. That's all. Just checking up on you."

Isabel gave her a small smile before grabbing her knapsack on the ground and heading out with Hayley watching her with a frown.

"Elijah I've got something I think you want to see."

"What is it?" Elijah asked confused why Marcel was calling him randomly.

"It's about some dead bodies in the quarter."

Elijah hung up on Marcel and grabbed a jacket before starting to head out.

"I'm coming with you," Hayley stated as she stepped out from her hiding spot.

"No-"

"Yes I am," she said before walking out.

It was nighttime when Elijah and Hayley met up with Marcel in a dark alley. Elijah was visibly not pleased but stood there anyway with Hayley by his side. "Went to the wrong dumpster. Of course, I have nothing better to do."

Marcel gave him an exasperated look.

"So what is it? What happened?" Hayley asked.

"It's not looking good," he said before opening the dumpster and revealing the mutilated bodies of several vampires inside. "Davina found our missing Strix. Wolf bites. They were tortured and then torn apart."

Elijah and Hayley looked horrified at the sight of these bodies not understanding what happened.

"Don't know if you two realize this but Jackson was killed just around the corner from here."

Hayley realized that Isabel is behind this, and Marcel gave her a look. "Isabel." She whispered in shock.

"The Strix are still gonna want the head of whoever did this."

Elijah, still stunned, walked away, gesturing toward the dumpster as he does so. "Burn the bodies."

"We have to find a way to fix this," Hayley told Marcel as she worried even more for her sister.

In the nearby warehouse district, a female vampire was bound to a chair, a hybrid bite visible on her neck as she whimpered in pain. Isabel stood in front of her with a menacing expression. When the vampire gives her a vicious look, Isabel grabbed an ax and gets ready to swing it at her just as Elijah arrived and looked at her, visibly appalled by the sight in front of him.

"Isabella! What do you think you're doing?"

Isabel glared at Elijah before turning back to the vampire and swinging the ax as hard as she can, decapitating the vampire and splattering her face with blood in the process as Elijah watched in horror.

≪≫•≪≫•≪≫

"This has to stop!" Elijah yelled at her as Isabel walked away from him.

"Why are you defending these people, Elijah? Oh, that's right, because they're the only ones that can protect you from the white oak. Well, guess what?" She turned towards him throwing her hands up in exasperation. "They deserve death and I don't care what you need." She takes out her hit-list from her back pocket. "This is my list- of all the Strix who took down me and my husband. The ones responsible for his execution, which I was forced to watch, don't know if you remember that part."

Elijah took the list from her and opened it to read for a brief moment before he looked back up at her. "The Strix will consider this is as an act of war, Isabella. Now, I beseech you to think of your children."

"Do not use my kids in an attempt to tame me, Elijah! Now, I have taken risks for you. It is about time that I do right by Jackson. I'm sorry if that inconveniences you." Isabel argues before storming away.

Also forgot to explain why but the reason I stopped writing for so long was cause Wattpad deleted two very important chapters and I was so frustrated I couldn't do it.
