Chapter Eighteen
3RD POV
Lana Cooper is taking a stroll around the French Quarter, taking on the phone with Jesse.
"I gotten the formal dance prom and graduation pictures, Sabrina is so beautiful in her formal dress and her graduation cap and gown." Lana said on the phone.
"Yeah. She is. But you should know that Klaus doesn't quite trust you. He has trust issues." Jesse tells Lana.
"Yeah. I know. I've known him for 5 minutes and I already picked up on him. And from what you told me about him, his ego and his crappy reputation, and from what I've leaned on the information about Klaus Mikaelson that the Talamasca Caste has about him, he can be a real jackass." Lana said.
Jesse chuckles on the phone. "I gotta go, but I'll see you around."
"You too, Jesse." Lana said, hanging up her phone, but stopped walking upon sensing Klaus.
Putting her phone back in her jeans pocket, Lana turns around and looks at him. "You've been following me, Klaus? Why?"
"I'm still a bit suspicious of you, Lana." Klaus said. "I have made many enemies and they have tried to poison Sabrina against me. Or turn her against me. I don't know what you're up to, or what scheme that Eric and Nora has you for. But whatever it is, I'm willingly to give you a benefit of a doubt."
"Okay." Lana said, folding her arms. "What can I do to prove myself to you, Klaus? To prove to you that you can trust me?"
"It's up to you." Klaus said, slowly steps up to her.
"How about a get-to-know you thing?" Lana asked him.
"Of course." Klaus said, slowly walking away from her.
And Lana slowly walks after him.
shortly afterwards...
Klaus and Lana are taking a stroll around the French Quarter, and she's snacking on a wrapped up beignet.
"Even though, I've been deceased for years, I've been observing Sabrina, how she makes you smile, chuckles with her goofiness, and you taught her how to waltz atop of the Stamford Academy's rooftop patio." Lana said to Klaus.
"Sabrina spoke of you and your husband." Klaus said. "She said that she fell into a hole of glumness and she almost dropped out of sophomore year of Stamford Academy. But Jessica told her to move on."
"My husband, Jesse and Sabrina lived in a loft apartment in London. And now, Jesse and Sabrina lives here in the French Quarter of New Orleans." Lana said to Klaus.
Klaus stopped walking and Lana stopped walking as well.
"What?" Lana asked.
"Nothing, it's just you remind me of Sabrina." Klaus said to Lana. "I can tell that you're not a bad person, Lana."
"I get it that you're suspicious of me, Klaus. I would be too if my husband was suddenly resurrected after being dead for a long years, and he just happened to show up out of the blue." Lana said.
Klaus chuckles a little to himself. And so does Lana, giggles softly to herself.
"You really are Sabrina's mother." Klaus said to her.
"But you're still suspicious of me?" Lana said to him. "It's still morning, so, what else is there to do?"
"There is one thing." Klaus said.
Lana becomes confused, and Klaus snaps her neck, knocking her out unconscious into his arms. And Klaus vamp-sped away.

SLATER'S COFFEE SHOP
That afternoon, Slater, Jesse, Sabrina, and Camille are sitting at a table with coffee drinks.
{Sabrina's Outfit}
"So, your Mom's alive again?" Camille asked Sabrina, surprisingly.
"Yeah. Klaus and I were taking a stroll in the French Quarter and there she said my name and there she was." Sabrina said.
"Yeah, but Sabrina, I don't want you getting hurt again." Jesse said.
"I know, Jess. My Mom's gonna be living with you and Slater at your boarding house." Sabrina said.
"I know, but Sabrina, maybe, Jesse's right, if my twin brother, Sean, was resurrected out of the blue, I would be happy too, but I would be also worried about losing him again." Camille said.
"I agree with you, Sabrina." Slater said.
"Thanks, Slater." Sabrina said.
"But I also agree with Cami and Jesse. I mean, I get it, your mom, Lana Cooper, has been resurrected after being dead for years, and suddenly, just shows up out of the blue. And what if the possible thing is Lana's cursed with the Timberwolf curse?" Slater asked.
"I'll asks Freya to make her a moonlight ring." Sabrina said.
"Sabrina?" Jesse said, giving her a glumly look. "Your parents's death broke you the first time. And now, your mother, Lana, suddenly resurrected. And she doesn't know how."
"I know you guys are worried. And I get it. I really do. And knowing Klaus very well, he's still suspicious about my Mom." Sabrina said.
From outside of the Slater's Coffeeshop, Eric picks up some pebbles from a nearby wooden and slings the pebbles at the window, shattering the window glass, making Slater, Jesse, Sabrina and Camille falls out of their chairs and onto the floor.
And Eric vamp-speeds Cami away.
"Cami?" Sabrina said, worriedly. "Cami?"
Slater, Jesse and Sabrina exchange worried looks at each other.

ST. LOUIS CATHEDRAL
Lana is laying on the floor, and she regains her conscious. She looks at Klaus, who's gently leaning backwards on the wall.
"Where am I?" Lana asked, sitting up straight in a seated position.
"At. Louis Cathedral." Klaus said. "And I do apologize for knocking you out like that." and pulls out a silver stake from his inside jacket pocket.
"What is that?" Lana asked, a bit confused, slowly getting up to her feet.
"A silver stake." Klaus said, and looks at Lana. "My wife, Sabrina, is the pure-hearted of the Mikaelson's. And sometimes, her compassionate can be a weakness. So, Lana, I'm gonna give you one more chance to speak the truth. Or I will destroy you and spare Sabrina the pain of losing her mother a second time. I suggest you don't muck it up."
Klaus and Lana exchange looks at each other and he slowly walks up to her with a straight face with a serious look in his eyes.
"What do you remember?" Klaus asked.
"I woke up in a mausoleum in the Lafayette Cemetery. I was in this stone-coffin thing and I saw Eric and Nora with a witch. But I used my werewolf hearing to eavesdrop on Eric's and Nora's conversation." Lana tells him.
"What was Eric's and Nora's conversation about?" Klaus asked.
"Eric and Nora schemed to use me aa a pawn. They both know that I used to live in London." Lana said.
"So, if you were to leave for home, Sabrina would follow you because you're her mother, thus, putting a wedge in between my relationship with Sabrina. Who scheme ploy was this?" Klaus asked.
"I don't know, but I could tell that Eric and Nora wanted to use me to come in between you and Sabrina." Lana said.
"To make Sabrina choose between her mother and her husband?" Klaus said, figured out what Eric and Nora were up to. And you're absolutely sure that you know nothing of Eric's and Nora's scheme?"
"I'm absolutely sure, Klaus." Lana said to him. "Nora threaten to destroy me if I didn't."
Klaus looks at Lana, putting the silver stake back inside his jacket pocket. "I believe you."
"You do?" Lana asked him.
"You and Sabrina does not have the quality of betrayal and to speak false lies." Klaus said to her.
Lana lets out a breath that she didn't know that she was holding. She and Klaus exchange small smiles at each other.
Klaus's phone buzzes in his jacket pocket. He pulls out his phone and looks at it.
Sabrina
Klaus glances at Lana. "Speaking of Sabrina." and answers his phone. "Sabrina?"
"Klaus, it's Cami. Eric took her." Sabrina tells him on the phone.
"Where are you?" Klaus asked.
"I was at Slater's coffee shop, but now, I'm with Slater and Jesse at their boarding house." Sabrina told him. "Where's my Mom? Is she okay?" She asked.
"Your Mom's fine." Klaus tells Sabrina on the phone, looking at Lana. "She's with me. I'm not gonna let anything or anyone harm her." He reassured her.
"Okay. I don't know what Eric and Nora are up to, but be careful." Sabrina said.
"I will." Klaus said, hanging up his phone, and looks at Lana. "Eric has a best friend of mine and Sabrina's, Camille. Do you want to come along with me?"
"Sure." Lana said.
"I'm trusting you, Lana." Klaus said.
"Okay." Lana said.
And Klaus and Lana walks away.

NORTHMAN'S MANOR HOUSE
Later on that afternoon, Klaus and Lana slowly walks inside the main room.
A French Quarter female witch slowly walks inside the main room where Klaus and Lana are.
"That's the witch who resurrected me." Lana said to Klaus.
"Good." Klaus said, vamp-speeding to the witch, and snaps her neck, destroying her.
The French Quarter female witch's dead body falls onto the floor, dead.
"Hi, Klaus." Eric said.
"Klaus?" Lana said.
"Get Cami. I'll handle Eric." Klaus said.
Lana wolf-speeds away, upstairs.
And Klaus and Eric engages in a fight in the main room.
In the upstairs study, Lana walks inside and sees Camille tied to a chair with vervain.
"Oh my gosh." Lana said, walking up to Camille, and crouches down to her, untying her from the chair. "Cami?"
Cami weakly looks at Lana. "Who are you?"
"I'm Sabrina's mom, Lana Cooper." Lana introduced herself to Camille, untying her. "Klaus and I will get you out of here."
"I wish that was so." Nora said.
Lana looks at Nora, slowly getting up to her feet. "Nora."
"You were to suppose to leave the French Quarter." Nora said.
"I'm sorry if your mischievous scheme didn't quite work out." Lana said, making her eyes glow golden with small veins underneath her eyes.
Lana wolf-speeds Nora into the hallway, making them both fall onto the hallway floor.
Nora swings a punch at Lana, who dodges and punches Nora in her face.
"You may be a ancient vampire, but I'm strong." Lana said. "And how dare you try to use me to try to put a wedge in between my daughters marriage to Klaus?"
"A best way to a mother's heart is by her daughter." Nora said.
Infuriated, Lana wolf-speed to Nora, knocking her out unconscious with a neck snap nap.
"Lana?" Klaus said from downstairs.
"I'm up here, Klaus." Lana said, gently taking Cami. "Let's get you home." she said, and wolf-speeded away.

MIKAELSON COMPOUND
That night, in the courtyard, Klaus, Lana, Cami and Sabrina had reconvened with each other.
"Mom?" Sabrina said.
"I'm okay, sweetheart." Lana reassured Sabrina.
"Klaus? Cami?" Sabrina asked.
"I'm fine, Cooper Wolf." Klaus reassured her. "I had your Mom with me."
Klaus and Lana exchange small smiles at each other.
Suddenly, Camille slowly falls onto the floor, coughing up blood.
"Cami?" Sabrina said, gently cradling her best friend in her arms.
"What's wrong with Cami?" Lana asked.
"Unless Eric or Nora must've poisoned her with something." Klaus said.
Sabrina looks at dark veins on Camille's arms, chest and blood trickles out of her eyes, mouth, ears and nose and she slowly dies in Sabrina's arms.
"Oh my gosh, Cami." Sabrina said, starting to cry. "Cami?"
"Sabrina?" Lana said, gently crouching down beside her daughter, comforting her.
Klaus and Lana exchange glumly looks at each other.
