➳ reigning pain in new orleans
"I don't care who is ruling New Orleans, I am queen."

Klaus has set up a dinner table is set up in the courtyard to celebrate his return to leadership over New Orleans and his repossession of the Abbatoir compound from Marcel. The vampire army, including Marcel and his closest friends, are seated around the table, and Klaus and Hayley are seated at each end.

Reece sat on the right of Klaus, as if she was his right hand. Reece calls for everyone's attention to give a speech by tapping her glass with her fork, she stands up and all the vampires looked to her stomach, Reece raised an eyebrow at them and rolled her eyes

"Alright listen up, you perverted vampires. I don't care who is ruling New Orleans, I am queen. I will rip you if you don't treat me with goodness. I am a good person, okay? Look at me in that perverted way, you won't be able to have a sex again. Now, Klaus would like to make his speech, which by the way he has been practicing in the mirror in the early morning."

"Reece, no I haven't." Klaus said, standing up glaring at the blue haired vampire.

"Liar, liar. White Oak tree is on fire." Reece sang as she sat down while Klaus tried to hide his small smile.

Klaus clears his throat, "Let us begin with a toast to our shared gift: immortality. After a thousand years, one might expect life to be less keenly felt, for its beauties and its sorrows do diminish with time. But, as vampires, we feel more deeply than humans could possibly imagine."

Klaus gestures toward a group of waiters and waitresses to have them join them at the table, one for each guest, "Insatiable need, exquisite pain..." The servants slit their wrists with knives, filling the cups with blood for the vampires

"Our victories, and our defeats." He looks at Marcel, who remembers back to a memory from earlier. Reece looked at Klaus, slightly smiling at his achievement.

Klaus raises his glass in a toast to the others"...To my city, my home again. May the blood never cease to flow..." Marcel lifts his glass, "and the party never end!" Marcel looks over at Diego, who spaced out. Soon enough Reece kicks Diego, because his eyes where on her boobs when he spaced out so Reece basically tried to aim for the place that doesn't shine.

Diego suddenly raises his glass, "To New Orleans."

Klaus looks at Reece and winks then he repeats after Diego, "To New Orleans!"

"New Orleans." Everyone at the table drinks

"I understand that some of you may have questions regarding the recent change in leadership, and I invited you here tonight to assure you that you are not defeated. No, my intentions moving forward are to celebrate what we have. What Marcel, in fact, took and built for this true community of vampires." Klaus nodded to Marcel.

"Perverted vampires, if I might add." Reece said while the males vampires shifted uncomfortable.

"What about her?" Diego points to Hayley at the far end of the table, as Reece mutters about how pointing is rude, "The wolf."

Reece started to mutter how some people doesn't know it's rude to call others not by their name. Reece might be a bitch, rude ass bitch but she has manners. She is like a mother who scowls at others but also a reckless dumbass. Reece was confusing but that's how Klaus like her.

Klaus scowls, "Had you'd let me finish, Diego, you would know that there is, of course, one further matter I would like to address." He walks over to the other end of the table where Hayley sits, "As many of you know, the girl is carrying my child. Consequently, I trust you will all pay her the appropriate respect. However, I understand that some of you are concerned by this vicious rumor that I intend to use the blood of our child to create hybrids. I assure you I do not."

Hayley smirks sarcastically, "Father of the year." Reece held back a laugh.

Klaus became mildly frustrated, "It appears I will have to earn your trust. Very well. We'll eliminate the root of your anxiety. You see, how I can I sire any hybrids if there are no more werewolves alive in the Bayou to turn?"

Hayley suddenly regret what she said as she gasped, horrified, "What? Klaus, no!"

Klaus ignores Hayley, "So-- eat, drink, and be merry. And, tomorrow, I suggest you have yourselves a little wolf hunt. Go ahead, have fun. Kill them all!"

Diego looked at Reece. After their dinner over Klaus' victory, Reece stayed down at the courtyard to watched vampires clean up. Diego walks over to Reece and was about to tap her when he heard the voice of Reece.

"Touch me, while I am reading you might lose an arm." Reece spoke, "dare to interrupt me while I real a classic?"

"Harry Potter?" Diego questions, "Some classic."

Reece slams her book and turns to Diego, "Do not diss my favourite book of all time!"

Diego stepped back, afraid to get hit by the vampire's hand. Diego raised his hands up in defence, while Reece rolled her eyes. Diego waited till Reece had calmed down, while Reece secretly wished that Diego would leave as she thought that Diego was such a weird right hand vampire.

"What is it?" Reece asked, holding back a scowl. "Make it quick, because I don't like you."

"I can see that..." Diego sighs and looked at the older vampire, "Right, Reece. I just have a question. Why do you stick with Klaus?"

Reece looked at Diego and smiles, but it wasn't a pleasant smile actually it was a smile that made Diego feel so uneasy. As Reece placed her book on the table and stepped closer to Diego. Reece looked up, seeing Diego was just taller than her, and whispered.

"You're an idiot, don't ask stupid questions."

"But-"

Reece glanced at him to shut him up, Diego shuts up and watched Reece. Reece flips her blue hair and glanced towards Diego before sitting back down on the table.

"Honestly, I stay with Klaus because I feel safe. I feel safe when I am with all the Mikaelsons, they know I would never and I mean never will ever betray them. So Diego... Cross my line, you will become you name Die Go."

With that Reece left Diego in a state of a pun.

Elijah was left in the courtyard of the Mikaelson Compound after Klaus had finished speaking to him. Elijah wasn't expecting anyone else to be there but he heard footsteps. When Elijah turns around he expected some Marcel minions but never his best friend, it always made the other Mikaelson wonder how the two even are best friends they're two different personality. Reece was busy minding her business as Elijah smiles.

"Reece Kelsey."

Reece looked over and smiles widely, "Elijah Mikaelson."

The two embraced each other, as if they missed each other, which they did. Elijah pulls out of the hug and looked at the blue haired vampire, who smiled fondly at the elder Mikaelson.

"Are you staying? Along with Rebekah?" She asked. She just wanted the Mikaelsons to actually be a family, so did Elijah but he knows that it will take some time.

"I am not sure about Rebekah, Reece. However, I may stay."

"Oh thank god! Klaus has been ignoring me for the past hours I was about to do a strip tease in the bar." Reece said seriously as Elijah chuckles, "Maybe even give someone a lap dance."

"Oh spare me the information, Reece." Elijah shook his head with amusement, "I rather not know about your sex life with my brother."

Reece rolled her eyes, "Oh, spare me, Elijah." She mocked her best friend, "At least I am sexually active."

"Oh my god, Reece."

"I heard from my brother that you were going to do a strip tease at the bar." Klaus walked up behind Reece, who was leaning on the railings of her balcony looking out the city. "Trying to make me jealous?"

Klaus held onto the railings looking down at the streets. Reece looked at Klaus with an eyebrow raised and muttered along the lines of, 'Fricken Mikaelson, never trust their words.' Klaus turns to look at Reece. "What?" Reece shrugs, "You just look..."

Klaus grins as he suggest as few words, "Handsome? Sexy? Charming?" Reece laughs and her head. "In your wildest dreams, Nik, however you just look like a king." Reece looks back at the streets and leans down on the railings.

"This your city, Nik. It's all yours." Reece spoke softly, Klaus never heard her speak so gently, "Keep it sane, Nik, we don't want it to know about us and we especially don't want a war."

"Of course, Reece, how stupid does that sound?" Klaus laughs before looking at the blue haired vampire. "Although, a king always need a queen. Cami, well, she is human and I need someone stronger than a human. There is also Hayley but she is most likely Elijah's lover then there is Rebekah, my grump of a sister, she is-"

"Nik, if this your way of asking me to be your queen, I already titled myself that. However, this does not mean we are in a relationship. Are we clear?"

"Crystal."

"Brilliant, now Nik." Reece said looking over to Nik, who was already staring at her beauty. "Back to your previous question, I might have wanted you to be jealous, it's my nature."

"Of course it is, I learn the hard way." Klaus said nodding, smiling whilst Reece rolled her eyes then scoffs.

"Knowing you the hard was was your only option," Reece commented the laughs afterwards, "Just like how you get hard just seeing me strip."

"Oh sod off Reece."

"Make me, Nik."
