I furrow my eyebrows, trying my very best to focus on the apple sitting on the counter in front of me.
I try to picture it moving, tipping over, literally anything. I just wanted it to move. But no. It just sat there, taunting me.
I groan in frustration just as someone flashes right in front of me, grabbing the apple and taking a swift bite.
"That was my magic practice apple, you asshole." I say, snatching it from his hand.
"And what exactly is a magic practice apple?" Klaus asks, in amusement.
I take this as him not being mad anymore about the whole sneaking out and shiny teeth Marcel thing, that only happened hours prior. But I wasn't too keen on him at the moment anyways.
"I'm practicing because I think it'll be
impressive if I pull up on that coven and move bitches with my mind. Really scare them- you know for like threatening my life." I say, throwing the apple in the trash and leaning against the counter.
"Move bitches with your mind?" He says slowly, looking at me as if he was completely done with me.
"Well..." I trail off, "maybe I'll have time to do that after we get Elijah." I say confidently.
"We? I want you to have no part in any of this, Scarlett. And you won't." He says sternly.
"But the point is, i'm trying. I wanna help and I cant do that as a lame ass human." I say crossing my arms with a slight huff.
I literally just wanted to get Elijah un-kidnapped. I don't think thats too much to ask for.
He rolls his eyes at the comment.
"I'm not letting him keep Elijah, Scarlett. You don't need to rush yourself into anything and you shouldn't even think twice about being involved in any of this. Understood?" He says.
"I'm already involved if you haven't noticed." I say just as Rebekah marches into the room.
"You were right. The girl, Cami – she's the key. Marcel likes her, and because of that I got to see the secret weapon of his that you've been going on about." She says in somewhat excitement.
The bartender?
Ohhh shit Marcel has a blonde fetish.
"Well, don't stand on ceremony. What is it?"
"It's not a 'what', it's a 'who'. A girl, Davina. She can't be more than sixteen, and I have never felt power like that." She says. Klaus furrows his brows.
"A witch?" I ask. Rebekah shakes her head.
"She's not just any witch, she's something I've never seen before, something beyond powerful." She says. And here I was thinking I was something special.
" and now because of you she has Elijah. Who knows what she could do to him." She spits angrily.
"Where is she?"
Rebekah pauses, as if shes trying to remember.
"That clever bitch. I don't know."
"What's wrong?"
"She wiped my memory of the location." She sighs. She goes to rub her temples in frustration. "Marcel possesses a weapon bigger and more powerful than an Original, and you handed our brother to him!"
"-I did what I had to do! Marcel took our home!" The bickering begins and I feel as if I'm going to rip my head off.
Believe it or not, the accents make the arguments so much more annoying.
"Chill out for a second, I've literally been scheming all day. I have a plan." I interject on the argument, causing both siblings to pause and stare at me blankly.
"And what would that plan be?" Klaus muses.
"If we can figure out a way to unlock or unleash or whatever- my powers- can't I do one of those witchy searchy spells and find Elijah?"
They weren't too amused.
"You know it wouldn't be too bad of a plan if you actually had powers" Rebekah says in annoyance.
"And the fact that you called it a witchy searchy spell just doesn't give us much hope, sweetheart." Klaus adds.
"And who knows how long it will take- and thats IF you even succeed with unlocking your powers." Rebekah says in frustration.
"I'm totally gonna unlock them bruh-"
"It's not a video game Scarlett, its a curse-"
"But maybe theres someone out there that has broken it before- there's no way this all powerful witch blood line is all dead, right? I feel like theres a reason I'm supposed to be in New Orleans." I say, feeling myself begin to ramble.
I think that sometimes it isn't even the idea of being powerful or whatever that excites me, sometimes the idea of some type of family being out there made me feel excited.
I felt a little guilty. I wasn't trying to replace anyone- as if that could even be possible. I tried not to think about everything that happened with Jeremy. I'm not sure if its unhealthy, the way I am avoiding facing it or if its just how I'm coping.
And I think in the very back of my mind (although I wouldn't admit it out loud) I hoped that once I became this "all powerful witch" I could find a way to bring Jeremy back.
"I understand but-"
"You have to let me leave the house- and we all know I'm going to do it anyways but at least if you agree you can keep an eye on me or whatever but I want to be involved because this is important to me too- and i'm not a fragil-"
"I think shes right." Rebekah says.
"Cmon! I can tot- Oh" I'm caught off guard by Rebekah actually agreeing with me.
"See! Rebekah is the only one who gets me!"
"Okay lets not go that far." She says making me roll my eyes.
"I just don't want anything to happen to you." Klaus says, his eyes boring into mine as if he were having a mental battle.
"Who would hurt me? I'm a sweetheart." I say.
He cocks a brow and sighs softly.
"I just need you to let me handle some things before you run around making messes. If you assure me you will stay in the house whilst I am with Marcel then I will personally help you hunt down whatever witches are still alive from your bloodline- and we all know hunting is what i do best." He says.
"Hunt them sounds a little scary-"
"I will help you find them, Scarlett." He corrects, slightly annoyed.
"But you have to promise me you will let me handle things when I need to. No sneaking out without anyone knowing- and absolutely no talking or running into Marcel or any vampire. I can't worry about you while I am trying to inf-"
"Okay I got it. No leaving the house without permission." I say shrugging, as if the task would be extremely easy for me (it wouldn't). He seems slightly satisfied with this respond and Rebekah just looks glad that this convo seems to be wrapping up.
"So when is the party you guys were whispering about earlier?"
