"LET US BEGIN WITH A TOAST TO OUR SHARED GIFT—IMMORTALITY" Klaus announced to the vampires in the Abattoir along with Natalia and Hayley who were forced to attend the 'meeting' Klaus held. "After a 1,000 years, one might expect for life to be less keenly felt, for its beauties and its sorrows to diminish with time, but as vampires, we feel more deeply than humans could possibly imagine" he rambled holding out two fingers singling for the waiters to stand next to the vampires while slicing their wrists so the vampires can drink of the scarlet liquid. "Insatiable need, exquisite pain...our victories, and our defeats" Klaus glanced down at Marcel then back at the vampires. "To my city, my home again. May the blood never cease to flow." he smirked.
"And the party never ends" Marcel continued raising his glass and nodding at Diego."To New Orleans" Diego cheered following Marcel's unspoken orders. 'To New Orleans' the rest of them followed. Natalia rolled her eyes at the awkward tension in the room. She pondered as to why Klaus wanted her at his so called meeting knowing the vampires undeniably despised witches. "I understand that some of you may have some 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 into this—a true community of vampires"
"What about her, the wolf? And-and the witch?" Diego questioned stubbornly disregarding the heat that arose inside of him. "Had you let me finish, Diego, you would know that there is, of course, two further matters I would like to address. As many of you know, the wolf is carrying my child. Consequently, I trust you will all pay her the appropriate respect" Klaus then tore his gaze from Hayley and walked over to Natalia who was indeed fuming. "And this one right here is my witch. She is a helper nonetheless, pay her no mind. " Klaus informed them. Natalia snapped her head towards him lifting up her index finger slamming him into the walk with brute force.
