Chapter Fourteen: Crescent City

Nobody's Pov

To say everyone was trying to comprehend everything that happened in the previous episode was an understatement.

Well, not for Tankhun and Tay.

But everyone else was very much in a state of shock and disbelief.

They never expected Big, a former bodyguard and a friend, and Klaus Mikaelson, the big bad hybrid, to have kissed.

They weren't expecting it.

Sure, it was clear that those two were beginning to get closer and were warming up to each other but they thought that they were becoming friends.

They didn't expect that they were becoming more than friends.

They didn't know how to react to what they just witnessed, they were simply speechless.

A loud squeal broke everyone out of their thoughts and they turned to see that it had come from Tankhun himself.

"Oh my god! Finally, I thought they were never going to kiss" Tankhun yelled with a grin plastered on his face.

Tay nodded, "I know right. It's about time".

Everyone looked at each other before looking back at the two of them.

"You two knew?" Kinn asked his friend and older brother.

Tankhun and Tay nodded.

"Wh...but how though?" Pol asked in confusion.

Tankhun and Tay stared at everyone like they were idiots.

Which, in all honesties, they were.

"Oh come on! Anyone with a brain can tell that those two have feelings for each other" Tankhun rolled his eyes.

"Especially with the way they acted whenever they were together. It was pretty clear that they were catching feelings for one another" Tay added.

Silence filled the theater.

Nobody really knew what to say.

They couldn't believe how dumb they were to not see the signs as they were pretty clear and out in the open for them.

Ken had a frown plastered on his face as he fiddled with his fingers.

He honestly didn't know how to feel about this. The thought of his best friend and the hybrid being together, especially romantically, just didn't sit right with him.

"If you guys are done shall I play the next episode?" Gertrude asked with a raised eyebrow.

Tankhun and Tay smiled while eagerly nodding their heads.

They want to know what's going to happen now that their favorite ship has kissed.

While everyone else remained silent.

Gertrude sighed before deciding to play the next episode.

The screen turns on and the camera pans inside the compound courtyard where we see Elijah, Klaus, Marcel and Holden.

The camera pans over to Papa Tunde's body that is laying in the middle of a magical circle of salt with blood all over his white suit.

Everyone's eyes widened at what they were seeing.

Tankhun and Tay were just as shocked as the others and all excitement had disappeared from their bodies.

Yes, they had known that Papa Tunde had escaped and they were worried about what he would do since he was roaming free.

But they certainly didn't expect to see him dead let alone for his dead body to be in the courtyard of the compound.

"Who the hell?" Porsche asked, frowning in confusion.

Elijah was crouched near the body while examining it.

"Can I get you anything, brother? A magnifying glass? A pipe, perhaps?" Klaus sarcastically asked.

Holden snorted to which Klaus looked at him with a grin and sent him a wink. Holden smiled a bit giddily before looking away.

Despite the situation with Papa Tunde being dead, Tankhun and Tay found their excitement reappearing.

They were glad that their interactions were still as good as they always were.

They were glad that they weren't ignoring each other and there wasn't any awkward tension between those two, unlike last time.

"You have a theory you'd like to share with us, Niklaus?" Elijah asked as he looked at his brother.

"Back in the day, the witches wanted to send a threat, they'd just kill a chicken and leave it on your doorstep" Marcel said.

"It's rather a large and ominous chicken, wouldn't you say?" Holden asked with a raised eyebrow.

"You can say that again" Macau muttered with a nod of his head.

Elijah nodded in agreement as he stood up from the ground.

"Papa Tunde defeated Rebekah with ease, 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?" Klaus asked.

Rebekah walked into the courtyard and joins the men.

"Well, don't you all look cheery" Rebekah sarcastically said.

"Pretty sure they've seen better days" Chay shrugged.

Porsche laughed at his brother in amusement before ruffling his hair.

"Listen to this, a girl literally exploded from a grave today as Sabine was giving a tour of the city of the dead. It was Monique Deveraux" Rebekah revealed.

Holden's eyes widened at that in shock. Everyone else was in the same boat as him.

"What?" Klaus asked, clearly taken aback.

Everyone's eyes widened at what they just learned.

"What? How the hell is that possible when the harvest didn't work when Sophie tried doing it herself?" Vegas asked.

"Yeah, didn't someone tamper with that power?" Kim asked.

How the hell is Monique, Sophie's niece, back if things had gone wrong?

And if Monique is back, does that mean there's a chance that Davina is too?

"The tourists thought it was part of the show, but the witches are celebrating like it's some kind of bloody miracle" Rebekah said.

"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" Marcel said, nothing but hope shown in his tone.

Holden let a faint smile appear on his face at the thought of Davina being brought back.

Everyone themselves had to admit that they were happy at the thought of Davina being brought back to life.

None more than Pete himself considering he has grown fond of Davina. 

After all, she was just a kid that didn't deserve to be brought into the supernatural mess, that shouldn't have been sacrificed in the first place.

If there's a possibility that she could be brought back to life he would be ecstatic.

Hayley walked downstairs and made her appearance known to which everyone looked at her.

"I have a theory about who one of them could be. 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.

Holden couldn't help but steal a glance at Elijah and saw him with an emotionless expression on his face.

"But why would Celeste be brought back?" Jom asked, confused.

"There's a possibility that she wants revenge on the Mikaelson family. I mean, she was an old lover of Elijah" Tem shrugged.

If she was dead then there's a chance it was because of the Mikaelson family, especially Klaus.

And if that is true, then it's pretty clear why she would be back.

Klaus looks at everyone as he moves to stand next to Holden.

"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" Klaus said.

Holden frowned, feeling a bit nervous. Klaus, having a feeling how the male werewolf was feeling, wrapped an arm around his waist and pulled him close to his side.

Holden said nothing and just rested his head on the hybrid's shoulder.

Everyone couldn't help but glance at each other as they themselves felt worried.

Kinn and Vegas were familiar with wars, they were born in mafia families and they were mafia leaders for their own family after all.

They had to deal with wars a few times in their lives.

However, this is different.

This is a war between witches and vampires, basically war between supernatural beings.

And no doubt it's going to be full of nothing but chaos.

The scene changes to the plantation where we see a car pulling up.

When the car stops the doors open and we see Rebekah, Hayley and Holden getting out.

"Why are they back there?" Chay asked, tilting his head to the side in curiosity.

"With everything going on the Mikaelson's want the Marshall siblings to be away from everything until things have calmed down. So, Elijah and Klaus had Rebekah take them to the plantation for their safety" Gertrude explained.

Chay hummed at that and nodded at the witch.

Everyone couldn't help but feel relieved that the Marshall siblings had been sent away for their safety.

This is a war between the witches and the vampires, the Marshall siblings weren't involved and didn't need to be involved.

"I thought I was gonna have to drag you both to the plantation kicking and screaming" Rebekah told the Marshall siblings.

"Yeah, well, we all just wanna protect us and the baby, right?" Hayley asked.

Holden nodded and the two of them tried to rush into the house but Rebekah, sensing their weird behavior, stopped them.

"They're up to something" Ken immediately said.

Big was acting weird, he and his sister were acting weird, and he had a feeling that they had something planned.

"Hey, I'm on your side, remember? So, what gives?" Rebekah asked.

The siblings look at each other and sigh in defeat before looking at the blonde Mikaelson.

"Tonight's a full moon, Rebekah" Hayley told her.

Rebekah shrugged, "so what? You're preggers, you can't turn".

She then looked at Holden, "you on the other hand".

Holden smiled and held his hand up to show them the bracelet.

"Nik gave me this bracelet and it prevents me from turning on the full moon. So, nothing to worry about" Holden told them.

"I honestly forgot about that bracelet" Pete said.

"We didn't" Tankhun and Tay said in unison.

Rebekah and Hayley looked shocked at that, especially Rebekah since she knows her brother doesn't give presents to anyone.

Well, except for a certain blonde girl.

Tankhun and Tay frowned.

Who was Rebekah talking about? Who was this blonde girl she was referring to?

Hayley then looked at Rebekah and said, "yes neither of us can turn. But we wanted to invite a few people over".

Rebekah sighed, "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" Hayley finished.

"So, we asked Josh to get a message out to Eve in the Bayou" Holden said.

"Josh isn't dead yet? Well good on him. I love a nice survival story" Rebekah sarcastically smiled.

Everyone couldn't help but either laugh at her sarcasm or shake her head.

Some were sort of glaring at her since they liked Josh and didn't like how she spoke about him.

She then looks behind the siblings and furrows her eyebrows together when she sees a man coming out of the house.

"Who the bloody hell is that?" Rebekah asked, confused.

Hayley and Holden look at the man and look at each other before Holden clears his throat.

"Kegs out back, alright?" Holden awkwardly said.

"Yup" the man nodded before walking away.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh after seeing the man and seeing that the siblings had already set up arrangements for the party.

"Honestly, I would've done the same thing" Macau muttered to Chay.

Chay just laughed at his friend.

Holden nodded and he and Hayley turned to Rebekah to see her giving them a deadpan look.

"Right. It appears you two weren't gonna wait for me to grant you permission to throw a kegger" Rebekah said.

Hayley sighed, "listen, you all want us safe? Fine. We'll do as we're told. I'll play damsel in the glass tower and Holden will be my bodyguard".

Holden snorted at the irony of being his sister's bodyguard. Given that that's what he was back in Thailand for the main family.

"The irony indeed" Kinn chuckled.

"Well, at least Hayley won't have to worry about being in danger" Kim shrugged.

Big may not have liked being a bodyguard but at least he was good at it.

"But tonight's the one night a month that we can meet our family. Now, you could rat us out and send us to our room..." Hayley trailed off.

"Or you could help us throw one hell of a party" Holden finished with a grin.

Rebekah glanced between the two of them before letting out a sigh and, reluctantly, nodded her head.

The siblings grinned and high-fived each other.

Everyone couldn't stop themselves from laughing at how happy the siblings look at being able to throw their party.

Ken sighed before shrugging his shoulders.

"Well, hopefully this party will help them have fun" Ken said with a small smile.

"Yeah and we'll get to meet their family when they do" Chan added with a small smile of his own.

The scene changes and we see that it's gotten darker. 

The camera pans over to Holden and Hayley that are hanging up some clothes for the Crescent werewolves to put on when they turn into humans with the full moon.

Just as they were about to leave the two werewolves that have been protecting them appear.

Hayley and Holden lock eyes with the wolves and smile at them.

"Hello again" Hayley greeted them.

"We're looking forward to meeting you soon" Holden added.

With nods of their heads they turn around and walk away in order to finish the preparations for the party.

Everyone was in the same boat as the Marshall siblings.

They themselves were ready to meet the wolves that have been protecting them from those power hungry witches and all other dangerous beings.

As they were heading back to the plantation Hayley looked at her brother.

"So, mind telling me what's going on between you and Klaus?" Hayley asked.

Holden looked at his sister with a raised eyebrow and asked, "what are you talking about?".

Hayley scoffed and rolled her eyes.

"Holden don't bullshit me. The same way I can't lie to you is the same way you can't lie to me. So, tell me, what's going on between you and Klaus?" Hayley asked.

Holden sighed but knew that his sister wasn't going to let this go, especially when she was staring to catch on to what was going on.

She was bound to find out one way or another.

"Yes she was" Tankhun nodded.

There's no keeping secrets from anyone, let alone siblings.

They are bound to find out one way or another and it's best to just come clean and tell them what they want to know.

"Fine. So, it's kind of clear to you that Nik and I have been getting close" Holden said.

"Understatement of the century" Hayley snorted.

"I know right" Tay nodded while chuckling.

"And, well, yesterday Nik and I had a moment" Holden said.

"What kind of moment?" Hayley asked, raising an eyebrow at him.

"We kissed" Holden blurted out.

Hayley's eyes widened at that and she stopped walking and spun around to face her brother to which he stopped walking too.

"What?!" Hayley yelled in shock.

Holden winced at how loud she was and covered his ears.

Everyone was in the same boat as the former bodyguard.

Tankhun and Hayley could definitely rival one another when it comes to being loud.

But if they had to pick someone for number one it would definitely have to be Rebekah.

"Ow" Holden said as he uncovered his ears.

"What do you mean you and Klaus kissed?!" Hayley asked.

Holden sighed before saying, "it's like I said. Nik and I had a moment and that led to us kissing. And, to be honest, it was amazing".

A smile appeared on his face as he remembered that day and his hand slowly came up to touch his lips.

He had never kissed any guy before, he never had time for relationships, so that meant that he had his first kiss with Klaus.

And he enjoyed it.

Everyone looked surprised at the revelation that Big has never been in a relationship before let alone kissed anyone.

Ken wasn't all surprised since he knew Big better than anyone.

His best friend flirted with men and made out with them but he never kissed them on the lips and he sure as hell never had sex with any of them.

Not only that but he knew his best friend didn't have time for relationships.

Mainly because of work and because he believed Big would still be pining over Kinn.

Holden looked at his sister and saw her staring at him unsure of what to say.

Holden frowned in worry and asked, "Hales are you alright?".

He was worried that maybe his sister didn't like the fact that he and Klaus had kissed. Maybe she was going to tell him that she was against whatever was going on between them.

"She better not. I'll slap her if I have to" Tankhun huffed.

His brothers and cousins looked at him weirdly but he just waved them off.

His favorite couple were finally getting somewhere and he'll be damned if he lets anyone, especially Hayley, ruin that.

Finally, Hayley let out a sigh while running a hand through her hair.

"Damn. I owe Rebekah and Elijah $20 bucks" Hayley said.

Holden did a double take at that and breathed out a surprise, "what?".

Almost everyone had the same reaction as Big.

"Wait what?" everyone asked in unison.

Hell, even Tankhun and Tay were confused and surprised at what had came out of the pregnant wolf's mouth.

"The three of us have been noticing you two getting closer and we had a feeling it was going to turn into something more. So, we made a bet for when you two would finally grow some balls and kiss" Hayley explained.

Holden blinked at that, clearly not expecting that.

"You guys bet on Nik and I?" he asked.

"Yeah and, sadly, I lost. Rebekah and Elijah had a feeling you guys had kissed yesterday while I had a feeling that you two would kiss in just a few more days" Hayley explained.

Tay hummed and leaned closer to Tankhun who looked at him.

"Honestly, I thought they were going to wait a little longer to finally kiss" Tay muttered to him.

Tankhun didn't say anything and just chuckled.

"So, wait, you're not mad about this?" Holden asked.

"Why would I be mad?" Hayley asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Well, I mean, you and Klaus did have a moment which led to you being pregnant" Holden said.

"That moment we had was nothing but a one night stand. It meant nothing to either of us" Hayley reminded him.

Kinn and Vegas couldn't help but relate.

Before meeting the love of their lives, all they ever did was fool around with tons of men in order to blow off some steam.

Their one night stands never meant anything to either of them, after all it was just sex.

Sometimes their one night stands wanted more but they never did since it was just a waste of time.

They were just glad that none of their one night stands can get pregnant because they don't want kids, not now at least.

And whenever they were ready for kids, ready to start a family, they would be doing it with the love of their lives.

"Ok, but you don't necessarily like Klaus. I know you two have your differences. I thought you'd be angry that the two of us are getting close and that we actually kissed" Holden said.

Hayley sighed before placing her hand on her brother's shoulder.

"Holden, I'm your sister not the controller of your life. You can pick whoever it is that you want to be with as long as they make you happy. If Klaus is that person then I have no problem with it" Hayley told him.

She may not like Klaus, they may not necessarily be friends, but she can tell how he makes her brother feel.

And if her brother is happy with him then that's all she cares about.

Everyone couldn't stop the smiles from appearing on their faces.

They were happy that despite what Hayley feels about Klaus, she'll set that aside for her brothers happiness.

Porsche and Tankhun could definitely relate.

Porsche didn't like that his little brother was dating Kim but if Kim makes him happy then that's all he cares about.

Tankhun definitely didn't like the fact that Vegas and Pete were dating when they revealed it to everyone.

He believed Vegas was stealing Pete from him, he was his favorite bodyguard after all.

But, then he saw the way they interacted with each other. The way they stared at each other with nothing but utter love in their eyes. The way they smiled at each other whenever they saw one another.

That's when he knew that they were happy, that they were meant for each other.

And he would set aside everything just for those two to continue being happy.

Holden smiled at his sister before pulling her into a hug. Hayley smiled and hugged him back.

"Thank you, Hales" Holden whispered.

"Of course, Hol" Hayley whispered back.

Everyone smiled softly at the interaction between the Marshall siblings.

Ken shifted slightly in his seat, trying to not be jealous at the two siblings but it was hard.

Hayley kissed her brothers cheek before pulling away from the hug.

"So, what exactly is going on between you two now that you've kissed? Are you guys dating?" she asked.

Holden sighed and shrugged, "we aren't dating but things between us are still the same, so that's something".

Tankhun and Tay couldn't stop the disappointment from coursing through their bodies.

They were happy that their favorite ship had kissed and that after the kiss things between them still remained the same.

But they were hoping that after their kiss they would be dating.

Hearing that they aren't was disappointing as well as annoying.

Ken, on the other hand, felt a bit relieved at the revelation that his best friend and the hybrid weren't dating.

He really didn't want those two to be together since he believed that Big could do better than Klaus.

Hayley hummed and nodded before wrapping her arm around his shoulders.

"Well, lets forget about that for tonight. Lets get everything ready before the wolves arrive" Hayley smiled.

Holden smiled back and nodded.

With that the two of them made their way back to the plantation.

Everyone smiled as they themselves were ready to see what this party would be like.

The scene changes to the backyard of the plantation where the party is mostly taking place. We see that it has been decorated by dozens of candles and strings of lights.

What were once werewolves were now humans, wearing the clothes that the Marshall siblings provided for them, that are either playing instruments or dancing to the music that was being played.

They were having nothing but fun.

Everyone smiled at the werewolves, who were now human, having fun at the party that the Marshall siblings had planned.

Though, they felt sad that the fun would only last for a few hours.

Once the full moon is over they would have to turn back into werewolves and head back into the woods and remain hidden.

"Is there really no way to turn them back into humans permanently?" Pete asked, frowning.

He really couldn't imagine being a werewolf for his entire life and only being able to turn back human on the full moon.

Porsche shook his head, "there has to be a way to reverse the curse. Like some sort of cure".

The camera pans over to Hayley and Holden who were standing together and handing cups of beer to two people.

As the two people walked away their eyes wandered over to Rebekah. They smiled when they saw her having fun while dancing with a guy with long blonde hair.

"Aw, she's having fun" Jom smiled.

"That's good. She deserves it after all" Tem smiled.

Everyone smiled and nodded in agreement since it was true, Rebekah deserved to have fun once in a while.

Meanwhile, Vegas and Kim narrowed their eyes at the guy in suspicion.

"I don't trust him" Vegas muttered.

"Me neither" Kim muttered back.

There was something about that guy Rebekah was dancing with that set them off.

The two of them leave the party and head back into the house.

They walk into the living room and begin tidying up since they didn't want to leave the place messy.

"Just have Rebekah compel someone to clean up the mess once the party is over" Macau shrugged.

"Yeah but they were the ones that came up with the party. They have to be the ones to clean up whatever mess is left" Chay told him.

"I seriously doubt you two invited us here to wait on us".

Hayley and Holden picked their heads up and furrowed their eyebrows together. They glanced at each other before turning around.

There they saw two guys that were standing together and across from them.

One of the guys had shaggy and curly brown hair and was wearing a plaid shirt and blue jeans. The other guy had slicked back black hair and was wearing a black shirt and black jeans.

Everyone's eyes widened at seeing the two guys.

Some couldn't help but blush since they had to admit that they were really handsome.

"Hot damn" Macau blurted out, his cheeks red.

"I'll say" Chay muttered with a slight nod of his head.

Vegas and Porsche looked at their brothers weirdly. Pete and Kinn just chuckled.

Kim shot his boyfriend a pointed look before glaring at the guys onscreen, feeling annoyed and jealous.

"You're Hayley and Holden. I'm Jackson" the shaggy and curly brown hair guy greeted.

"I'm Jonah. It's nice to see you two again" the slicked back black hair guy smiled.

The Marshall siblings look confused for a second before realization courses through them.

"You're the wolves that's been watching us" Hayley said.

Everyone's eyes widened at that before smiles appeared on their faces.

"Finally we know what they look like and we know their names" Pol smiled.

"But now we need to know why they're protecting them" Arm added.

"We gotta keep our eyes on you two" Jonah chuckled.

"Yeah, precious cargo and all" Jackson nodded.

Hayley looked down at her belly and she placed her hand onto her belly.

"Right. Gotta protect the miracle baby" Hayley nodded.

"No, that's not what I meant. I don't care about the baby" Jackson told her.

Hayley tilted her head at him, Holden narrowed his eyes at him while Jonah sighed and turned to slap Jackson's arm.

A few people couldn't help but chuckle at the reactions Jackson got from the other three because of what he said.

"Gotta be careful with what you say" Chan shook his head.

Jackson's eyes widened at what he said and realized how wrong, and disrespectful, that sounded.

"Sorry, that came out wrong. I mean, of course I care. You and your brother are Labonair's. A baby, it's a big deal" Jackson said.

"But personally, our interest is in you two" Jonah finished.

"You two don't even know us" Holden said.

"Our parents knew each other. They were of the same people, but not the same bloodline. Now, you know how pack hierarchy works, right?" Jonah asked.

Hayley and Holden slowly nodded.

Everyone slowly leaned forward in order to gather as much information as they could.

They need to know the connection the Marshall siblings had with those two.

"Everybody has their part to play and the four of us had our part, too" Jackson said.

"What part was that?" Hayley asked.

Jackson and Jonah look at each other and sigh before turning back to the Marshall siblings.

"You were supposed to be my wife. And your brother was supposed to be my brother's husband" Jackson revealed.

Hayley's eyes widened at the revelation. Holden's eyes widened as well and he also choked on his spit.

"WHAT?!" everyone shouted in disbelief.

"HUSBAND?!" Tankhun shrieked in disbelief.

Gertrude winced and covered her ears, she really hates herself for not conjuring up some soundproof headphones.

She slowly uncovered her ears when she believed everyone calmed down.

And they had as they were all looking at her for confirmation as well as an explanation.

"Yes, the Marshall siblings were made to marry the Kenner brothers. Now just continue watching and all will be explained soon" Gertrude said.

Everyone didn't know what to say, they were still in disbelief at what they just learned.

Nevertheless, they slowly nodded and turned their attention back to the screen.

Gertrude nodded before resuming the episode.

The scene changes and we see Jackson and Jonah sitting together at the piano in the living room, playing quietly, while Hayley and Holden are standing together across from them.

The brothers stop playing and look at the Marshall siblings.

"We know it's a lot to take in" Jackson said.

"You think? We just wanted to meet our family" Hayley told him.

"Yeah. We never imagined we'd meet our husbands from some weird-ass arranged marriage" Holden finished.

"Pretty sure none of us did" Ken muttered.

Finding out that his best friend was betrothed to marry someone he barely knew was something he didn't expect.

"I guess you two don't know about any of this because there was never anyone around to teach you" Jonah said.

Jackson nodded and stood up with Jonah following.

"The Crescents aren't just any pack of wolves. The bloodline goes back to the very beginning. Two families, yours and ours" Jackson added.

"I guess that makes us kind of a royalty" Jonah finished with a chuckle.

Holden shot him a deadpan look while Hayley laughed in disbelief.

"This is a joke, right? I mean, if you two are royalty, where's the throne?" Hayley asked.

"New Orleans used to be our town, and we lost it all because of some in-fighting. The vampires came after us, and if our families were united, we could've taken them. So, our parents decided to bring the two lines back together" Jackson explained.

"And Jackson and Hayley were betrothed. The same for you and I" Jonah finished.

"That doesn't make any sense. Why would they set up an arranged marriage for the two of them instead of just one?" Chan asked.

Normally when arrange marriages happen they set it up for the oldest child.

Hayley is the oldest child of the Labonair's while Big is the youngest.

He understands Hayley being betrothed but why was Big betrothed?

"I'm sorry. This is ridiculous" Holden said to which Hayley nodded.

"Look, obviously things didn't work out the way anyone thought they would. Our pack made a huge misstep with the vampires when we refused to back down, and Marcel had us cursed by a witch" Jonah said.

"You two are the last ones of your bloodline, Andrea and Alexander" Jackson said.

The Marshall siblings shifted slightly at being called their birth names. 

Everyone couldn't help but shift slightly too at the Marshall siblings being called by their birth names.

They were still trying to get used to the fact that Big's real name, or adopted name, is Holden.

"Or Hayley and Holden, whatever you two call yourselves. These people will follow you two. You two can help them, you and what you represent" Jackson added.

"And what is that exactly?" Hayley asked.

"A time when things were different. When our people fought back. And after everything you two went through to find us..." Jackson trailed off. 

"You two are the ones who's gonna break our curse" Jonah finished.

Hayley and Holden look at the Kenner brothers in confusion.

Everyone had the same reaction as the Marshall siblings.

"What the hell are they talking about?" Kinn asked.

"Yeah, as far as I'm concerned neither of them are friends with any of the witches" Porsche added.

After everything the witches have done to them no way they would ever see them as their friends or even be friends with any of them.

"What are you two talking about?" Hayley asked.

"Your witch friend. She told Eve she was coming here tonight to set us free" Jackson told them.

"Wait what witch friend?" Holden asked, stepping closer to the brothers.

The brothers look at them in confusion and almost immediately a bad feeling coursed through Holden.

"Hayley, call Elijah. Now" Holden ordered.

Hayley didn't hesitate to take out her phone. She dialed Elijah's number and put her phone to her ear.

The four of them walked away from the living room and made their way into the kitchen.

"Elijah, something's going on with the witches" Hayley said once Elijah answered the phone.

Holden turns around and walks towards the exit that's in the kitchen. But just before he could reach it a gust of wind causes the doors to clasp shut which makes him and the others jump in surprise.

"What's going on?" Jackson asked, confused and worried.

"It's a trap. We didn't make a deal with any witch" Hayley told him.

"What?" Jonah asked in shock.

"Didn't you just hear him you idiot? Get the hell out of there!" Ken yelled with a clenched jaw.

Once again the witches were up to something and the four of them were definitely going to get caught in the crossfire.

They had to leave and they had to leave now.

"We have to get the hell out of here" Holden told them.

He runs to the door and tries to open them as best as he can when all of a sudden a fire appears causing Holden to gasp and stumble back in surprise.

Everyone jumped, completely startled by the fire, and their eyes widened at what they were seeing.

"Oh god" Jom breathed out.

"What the hell is going on?" Tem asked.

"It's those power hungry witches. Remember, Klaus said they were declaring war on the vampires" Vegas scowled.

"The war is happening right now" Pete breathed out in realization.

Everyone felt realization coursed through them as well as fear as they realize that Big and his sister, as well as the Kenner brothers, were caught in the crossfire.

Jonah rushes to him and catches him before he could fall.

"Come on" Jonah said as he began dragging Holden out of the kitchen.

"Elijah, it's a spell. They're trapping us inside" Hayley said, her tone full of worry.

Holden lets Jonah lead him away while Hayley and Jackson follow behind them.

The four of them ran towards the front door, which was still open, but they didn't get the chance to leave due to the door closing on them.

"No!" Holden yelled.

"No!" everyone yelled.

Ken gritted his teeth, his body beginning to tense up, and clenched his fists tightly at his sides.

Holden tried getting the door to open but nothing worked.

Jonah grabbed him and began dragging him into the living room, where Hayley and Jackson went in, but before they could join them the doors to the living room closed on them.

"No! Hayley!" Holden yelled as he began to pound on the door.

"Jackson!" Jonah yelled, joining Holden in pounding on the door.

They hear pounding on the other side and realize that their respective siblings are trying to get out but they can't.

Holden and Jonah turn around and their eyes widen when they see flames erupt all around the house as the rest of the doors and windows begin to shut.

Everyone's bodies tensed up as nothing but fear and concern coursed through them.

The entire house was beginning to get caught on fire and if the four that are trapped don't find a way to get out, they could die.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck!" Holden yelled, fear and anger coursing through him.

Jonah looks around and spots a chair and rushes towards it and grabs it. He rushes towards one of the windows and uses the chair to smash it but the chair shatters upon impact while the window remains intact.

"Damn" Jonah muttered, clenching his fist at his side.

"Shit, shit, shit" Porsche chanted in worry.

"This isn't good" Pete frowned.

"No shit it's not good! The witches have cast some sort of spell on the plantation so they have no way to get out!" Ken angrily yelled.

Seeing his best friend in danger and seeing his best friend look so hopeless made him want to scream.

Especially when he wasn't there to help him.

Those freaking witches are going to wish they were never born when he finds them and gets his hands on them.

The fire continues growing in size, burning its way up the walls toward the ceiling causing Holden and Jonah to begin to cough.

Holden covers his mouth with his hand and begins running upstairs, wanting to get his gun that he had left behind here.

"What the hell is his gun going to do?!" Macau yelled in confusion and frustration.

"Maybe he can shoot at one of the windows to get it to open. Or at the very least shoot as much as he can to gain someone's attention" Chay shrugged.

Although he doubts that will work, given where the plantation is located, it's better than nothing.

All of a sudden the stairs catch on fire which catches Holden off guard that he ends up losing his balance and falls backwards.

His head hits something, hard, and when he lands on the ground with a loud thud he's knocked unconscious.

"Holden!" Jonah yelled with wide eyes.

"Big!" everyone yelled in worry.

Ken gritted his teeth, his knee bouncing up and down in worry, while Chan clenched his jaw while clenching his fists at his sides.

Jonah tries rushing towards him to check on him but starts coughing as the flames begin to spread more and more.

He tries covering his mouth, trying not to inhale the smoke, but it's impossible and he's struggling to breath and slowly beginning to lose consciousness himself.

"Stay the fuck awake and take care of Big and continue finding a way to get out!" Ken yelled.

He know it sounds wrong but he really didn't care what would happen to Jonah, given he doesn't even know him.

He just cares for his best friend and just wants him out of that damn house and somewhere safe.

The camera pans to the living room where Hayley and Jackson are trapped. 

They are both kneeling down next to each other as Hayley has a cloth over her face so she can breath through it but is still coughing. Jackson isn't doing better either.

All of a sudden the window shatters and someone speeds inside.

The camera pans closer to the person and we see that it's Elijah.

Nothing but loud sighs of relief are heard in the movie theater at the sight of Elijah.

"Oh thank god" Pete breathed out, placing a hand over his chest.

"Finally help has arrived" Tay sighed as he leaned back into his seat.

Elijah rushes to Hayley and picks her up bridal style before speeding outside.

Once they are outside Elijah kneels down and gently lays Hayley on the ground as she coughs and gasps for air.

"Where's Rebekah?" Elijah asked as he looked around for his sister.

"I don't know. She went off with one of them" Hayley told him.

"And now she's missing?" Vegas frowned slightly.

Something was telling him that the guy Rebekah had been dancing with was apart of this.

"Elijah, Holden is still there! As well as two of our friends! Please, you have to get them out!" Hayley pleaded.

Elijah nodded and gets up and speeds back into the house to retrieve Holden and the Kenner brothers.

Only a second passes and Elijah comes back outside with Jackson.

Elijah lets go of Jackson and speeds back into the house to get Holden and Jonah.

"Come on, come on, come on" Ken muttered.

He just wanted to see Holden, and Jonah, out of that freaking house.

Jackson falls to the ground on his knees, coughing and gasping for air, while Hayley slowly sits up from the ground now that she has calmed down.

A few seconds pass and Elijah speeds back outside and looks at Hayley with a confused and worried look.

"Elijah, where's Holden? Where's Jonah?" Hayley asked while looking around.

"They aren't there" Elijah revealed.

Everyone's eyes widened at what they just heard and they felt their bodies tense up once more.

"What?" Ken breathed out, his eyes wide in fear.

Hayley's eyes widened as that as did Jackson's.

"What? What are you talking about?" Hayley asked.

"They aren't there. I broke the doors to the living room and did a thorough check but they weren't there" Elijah explained.

Jackson shook his head as he quickly stood up.

"That's impossible. They were there with us but we got separated when Hayley and I got trapped in the living room" Jackson said.

"I assure you that I checked but they weren't there" Elijah said.

"No, no, no, no. That's not possible" Hayley shook her head in denial.

She shot up from the ground and tried running back into the house but Elijah grabbed her and held her back. Jackson tried running back to the house as well, wanting to get his brother, but Elijah grabbed him and held him back as well.

"No, let me go! Elijah, let me go! Holden! Holden!" Hayley yelled, tears beginning to build up in her eyes.

"Let me go, let me go! Jonah! Jonah!" Jackson yelled, nothing but desperation shown in his tone.

Hayley thrashed in Elijah's hold, tears slowly streaming down her cheeks, wanting to get free and get back into the house and find her brother.

Everyone's eyes widened when the screen began to turn black, panicking thinking that the episode was over.

"No, no, no, it can't end that way" Kinn shook his head in worry.

"Please tell me it doesn't end that way. Please tell us there's more" Kim frowned.

All eyes were now on Gertrude who sighed but nodded her head.

"I promise that it doesn't end there, there is more" Gertrude said.

"Well then continue playing it!" Ken angrily snapped.

Gertrude glared at him and Ken glared back at her as anger coursed through him.

Chan quickly stepped in and wrapped his arm around Ken's shoulders.

He rubbed his arms in order to get him to calm down.

Ken glanced at him before closing his eyes and took a few deep breaths. When he felt himself calm down he just turned his attention back to the screen.

Gertrude nodded slightly at Chan, a gesture that he returned, before resuming the episode.

The screen turns back on and the camera pans further into the woods where we see a small abandoned cabin.

The camera pans into the cabin and moves into one of the rooms where we see Holden lying on a bed still unconscious.

Everyone's eyes widened at seeing Holden who was unconscious but, nevertheless, he was still alive.

And that's all they cared about.

"Oh thank god" Ken breathed out, leaning against Chan.

Chan smiled, feeling relieved himself, as he glanced down at Ken before looking back at the screen.

All of a sudden Holden's eyes snapped open and he began coughing and gasping for air.

His hand moved to his mouth as he coughed and he blinked a few times in order to get rid of his blurry vision.

When he calmed down, and his vision cleared up, he looked around and took in his surroundings. He frowned in confusion and slight fear as he realized that he was in some unknown place.

"What the hell?" Holden muttered.

Just like that their worries returned.

While they were happy that Big was safe they also just now realized that he was in some abandoned cabin.

And they have no idea how he got there.

They were just hoping that he wasn't in any danger, again.

All of a sudden he heard movement from nearby causing him to tense up.

He turned his head around and saw someone walking towards him. He couldn't tell who it was since the room was dark.

"Relax, you're safe" the unknown person told him.

Everyone frowned, a few raising their eyebrows, in confusion at hearing the unknown person speaking.

Some were confused as to who this unknown person was while some were confused as to why the unknown person sounded familiar to them.

Mainly to the brothers of the main and minor family.

"Why the hell does his voice sound familiar?" Vegas asked, frowning in confusion.

Macau shrugged at his older brother as he tried to figure out why the unknown person sounded familiar.

"Jonah?" Holden asked, furrowing his eyebrows together.

"Don't worry, he's safe too. He woke up an hour before you did but had leave since he was beginning to turn back into a werewolf" the unknown person explained.

A few people sighed in relief at that and let small smiles appear on their faces.

They were happy that this unknown person had saved Holden and Jonah.

While a few others were still very much confused as to who this unknown person was and why he saved Holden and Jonah.

Holden tried getting up from the bed but the unknown person put their hands on his shoulders and gently pushed him back.

"Don't move, you still need to rest after what you went through" the unknown person sternly said.

"I need to find my sister and Jackson. I need to know that they're safe" Holden argued.

"They are, don't worry. Before bringing you here I saw your friend Elijah speeding into the house. He got them out of there" the unknown person told him.

"That's not creepy at all" Jom sarcastically said.

"Who the hell are you? Why did you save me?" Holden asked, confused and suspicious.

The unknown person chuckled as he walked away from the bed and towards the other side of the room.

"I'm just returning the favor you did for me, Holden. Or should I say Big?" the unknown person asked.

Holden tensed at the name he used back in Thailand, a name he never expected nor wanted to hear again.

Whoever this unknown person was, it was someone from his past. Someone that knew him and followed him to New Orleans.

Everyone looked at each other with nothing but confusion plastered on their faces.

It couldn't be any of them.

There's no way since some weren't familiar with Big and the ones that were believed him to be dead until they had been brought here.

So, who could it be?

"Who the hell are you?" Holden asked.

"You know who I am. My voice should've given it away" the unknown person said.

"Show me your fucking face, idiot! I need to see who you are!" Holden yelled in frustration.

The unknown person sighed but obeyed and moved to turn on the light.

Everyone remained silent and leaned forward to see just who this unknown person was.

Gertrude bit her lip anxiously and mentally prepared herself for how everyone would react to the reveal of the unknown person.

As the light turned on Holden winced and clenched his eyes shut.

Holden reopened his eyes before picking his head up in order to look at the unknown person.

As soon as Holden's eyes met the unknown person's eyes nothing but utter shock took over him.

"No way" Holden breathed out.

"Yes way" the unknown person nodded.

Holden hurriedly shot up from the bed while ignoring the slight pain he felt and couldn't stop himself from blurting out the unknown person's name.

"Gun!" Holden yelled.

"HUH?!" everyone, mainly the ones from the mafia, shouted in disbelief.

Gertrude sighed in relief, happy to have covered her ears in time.

The camera pans over to the unknown person, who was leaning against the wall, and it was none other than Gun Theerapanyakun.

"Surprise" Gun smiled, crossing his arms over his chest.

Holden said nothing and continued staring at the man he never thought he'd see again in shock.

As the screen turned black, indicating that the episode was over, chaos erupted in the theater.

"What. The. FUCK!?" Tankhun screamed in shock.

"I second that!" Kinn yelled.

"I third that!" Kim yelled.

The three main family brothers looked over at Chan, hoping that maybe he would have some answers, but he was sitting in his seat looking visibly shocked.

The same can be said for the bodyguards as well as Tay.

While Tem and Jom were confused.

Macau, still not over the shock he was feeling, whipped his head to his older brother.

"Brother, you told me he was dead. So, how is he alive and in New Orleans?!" Macau yelled, nothing but utter disbelief shown in his tone.

Vegas glanced between his brother and the screen back and forth, unsure of what to say.

What could he say when he too had no answers?

All he had were questions and those questions needed answers.

Everyone in the theater had nothing but questions.

And those questions were going to be answered one way or another.

------------------------------------------------

DUN, DUN, DUN!!!

Bet you all didn't expect that ending, huh?!

That's right, Gun Theerapanyakun is alive and he's in New Orleans!

Sorry to tell you this, but you will have to wait until the next chapter in order to understand just how that's possible.

And I'd still love to know if you all want me to keep Sophie alive or not.

With that being said, have a great day and see you all in the next chapter. Bye!
