[Elijah]: "Well, Niklaus is here because he learned that a witch was conspiring against him. Someone by the name of Jane Anne Devereaux."
[the lady in yellow]: "Well, if he's looking for Jane Anne, he's a little late.", Elijah looked at her for a few seconds staying silent, as he furrowed his brows and asked
[Elijah]: "Are you telling me she's dead?"
[the lady in yellow]: Come on. Her sister Sophie's gonna wanna talk to you.
.....changing scene....
On a cobblestone street in the French Quarter, illuminated by the flickering orange glow of dozens of candles. Sophie is at the centre surrounded by a silent circle of witches each of them holding a candle lit in a glass cup as they stand in the shadows, their faces etched with a mixture of terror and sorrow, huddled over the lifeless body of her sister, Jane-Anne, who lies sprawled on the pavement, huddled over the lifeless body of her sister, Jane-Anne, who lies sprawled on the pavement dead her neck filled with blood , the only sounds are Sophie's choked breaths and the low murmur of the New Orleans night.
Elijah and the woman in yellow arrive, Elijah his face filled with gravity stared at the dead body turned to her and ask's
[Elijah]: thats Jane Anne, [Elijah turned back to look at the lady in yellow who nodded as her head, then turned back to look at Jans Anne] Killed in public for anyone to find."
[lady in yellow]: Only people who come 'round here are the witches. Now her sister has come to take her body. Her spirit can't rest until it's been properly interred in the cemetery. Now her sister has come to take her body. Her spirit can't rest until it's been properly interred in the cemetery.
[Elijah]: Please tell me that my brother had nothing to do with this.
[lady in yellow]: No. Jane Anne died because she got caught doing magic.
[Elijah]:[he turned his back facing Jane-Anne and co. and walked to the lady in yellow asking] What do you mean she got caught doing magic?
suddenly a whisper was heard from afar.....everyone turned to look
[lady in yellow]: You want to know who killed Jane Ann? [her face pensive] You're about to get your first glimpse of Marcel in action.
[Elijah]: "The vampire Marcel?"
[lady in yellow]: "Things have changed since your family left town, and Marcel has changed. [suddenly a figure jumped down then onto a car, springing from the car jumping down to the floor, people started whispering as vampires jumped from different places to the floor], I am asking you, stay hidden. If Marcel finds out that a witch lured the originals back into town, my people will be slaughtered."
Elijah moved at the speed of sound, instantly disappearing and appearing hiding on a balcony hiding behind behind the leaves but his eye remained focused on the scene below.
Vampire's gathered from all direction cornering the witches, a brown skin man at the fore front with a head warmer covering his head wearing a grey jacket standing at 5'11", the leader of the crowd of vampires- Marcel Gerad, spread his hands saying with a smile on his face
[Marcel]: Well, well, well, What have we here?, I gotta tell you, Soph, this street corner has not proven the luckiest spot for your family tonight. [A vampire with short Afro-hair, his fang open and his eyes full black as he snarled at awitch], Not half an hour ago, we had to teach your sister a little lesson."
Sophie looked at Marcel and said shook her head saying
[Sophie]: "We're putting her to rest, Marcel. Leave us alone."
[Marcel]: "I never said you can move the body. Matter of fact, I left it here for a reason. Send a message. [marcel said as he starteed walking around glancing at all the witches present as he pointed his finger saying] If anybody is thinking of joining some kind of rebellion, my rules state that witches can't practice magic in the quarter." [his hand on his waist as hiss tone turned less humorous] And yet, a little birdie informed me that Jane Anne was cooking up something magically delicious. Oh, yeah. While I have you, quick Q&A. My old friend, the hybrid, Klaus, he just happened to show up out of the blue asking for,[his hand moving around as he pointed at the dead body on the floor] of all people, Jane Anne. Any idea why?"
[Sophie]: I don't know. [she said as she shook her head] We just don't get involved in vampire business.
[Marcel]: Hmm. That would be pretty stupid. That's for sure. [Marcel said as he walked round her then stopped at her back saying to her ear, though everyone could hear what he was saying] Tell you what. Go back to the restaurant. Cook up some of that famous gumbo. Keep those tourists happy. [then he tapped the back of a white man wearing a cap and jacket] Take the body.
[Sophie]: "What? No! Stop! [the man wearing a cap held sophie as she struggled and tried to get her sister body while another vampire carried the body] Stop! Marcel!"
[Marcel]: "I'm gonna hold on to your sister's body in case maybe you remember why Klaus is here." Marcel said as he walked away the vampire crowd split apart to form a space as he walked away.
[Sophie]: "Marcel, please. Her body won't be at peace."
[Marcel]: "Not my problem!" Marcel said as he walked away not looking back
Elijah stood looking at Marcel as he walked away.
....changing scene...
[Rebecca]: "You mean to tell me after all these years, Marcel is alive and well?"
Rebecca is in a bathtub, in her right hand a glass cup of wine, while in her left hand her phone as she talked to Elijah.
[Elijah]: "Quite. Our brother seems to have wandered into a war zone."
Elijah said with his hand in his pocket as he walked passing tree's, talking to Rebecca
[Elijah]: "And I haven't been able to find him. Marcel, who Klaus sired and brought up beneath his own wing, now rules a menagerie of savage vampires, running wild, killing in public for any human to come upon. Witches are held in subjugation. I doubt any Klaus had any idea what he was walking into."
[Rebecca]: "Sorry, what was that? i stopped paying attention at our brother."
[Elijah]: "Rebecca!."
[Rebecca]: "A hateful, traitorous bastard of a brother, who negated any sympathy i once had for him by his repeated efforts to ensure neither you nor i know happiness outside of his own selfish universe."
[Elijah]: "Always and forever, Rebecca, that is what we once swore to each other."
[Rebecca]: "Consider this me calling take backs"
[Elijah]: "oh you've called take backs dozens of times over the centuries, and yet when our father found us and chased us from this very city..."
[Rebecca]: "i may be old, Elijah, but i'm hardly senile i never stuck with Klaus. And not three years later, he stuck a silver dagger in my chest and sent me into a magical slumber for 90 years. Do you know why? Because I had the audacity to try and live my life on my own without him."
[Elijah]: You know, I believe our brother's in trouble. So whatever's going on between Marcel and the witches, it's dire enough that they risk bringing an original back to town. The witches have lured him here. I'd like to know why." [Elijah said as he put his phone into his pocket and stopped as he glanced at the shop ROSSEAUS]
...changing scene.....
Sophie walked out slamming the back door of a building into the alley. She walks down the stairs as she stops infront of a table, on it are candles and tree sticks used for rituals, Sophie visibly shaken and her eyes teary, grabs a candle in a glass, and lights another candle in a glass
[Sophie]: "You got me into this into this Jane. [she said her voice shaky as she closes her eye] Give me the strength to finish it."
suddenly the door closed with a bang, Sophie turned back immediately looking at the door, she turns around the room looking everywhere, when someone dropped from roof behind her by the stairs, she turns back and see him turning her head as she closes her eyes and mouth in irritation, then opened them saying
[Sophie]: "The doors work, you know."
[a black vampire]:"You're doing magic?"
A voice appears behind her as she turns back there stood a black vampire.
[Sophie]: "I'm praying to my dead sister. Go ahead.[she said as she waves her pointing it to the black vampire then back to the candles lit on the table] Pay your respects."
the white vampire appears behind Sophie, then Sophie turn's to look at him as he begins talking
[white vampire]: "Don't make this a thing Sophie. The hybrid was looking for Jane Anne. Marcel wants to know why."
[Sophie]: "I'd say ask her yourself, but I guess you can't seeing as Marcel killed her."
she said then turns back, the black vamp. suddenly appear in front of her.
