Voodoo Witch ✵ (The Originals Fanfic)

Prologue

[Edited]

Celia, daughter of Dr.Facilier was idly and aimlessly walking around, taking in all the sights of the nightlife in the French Quarter she could get before she had to go back and clean her bedroom (which she had neglected to do in the first place as her bedroom was a mess.)

Walking and whistling to herself, she admitted that she really liked it here in New Orleans. More than she initially thought.

Walking pass by a dark alley, behind a very well known bar in the French Quarter, Rosseau's, the last thing she would expect to see was Sophie Deveraux, someone who worked there (and made really mean gumbo)to be surrounded by two intimidating men.

Her first instinct was to of course leave and she did just that, backtracking slowly to not make any noise.

Alas, luck was not on her side when she accidentally stepped on what it appeared to be a piece of mold bread?

Squish!

'Ah! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!

The two men earlier and Sophie looked at her direction and she just stared back awkwardly.

"Uh....Hi? Uhmmm.."She mumbled while itching her head and shuffling her feet, something she tended to do when nervous.She really needed to amp up her communication skills,she thought.

The two men looked at each other and one signalled to the other with a tilt of his head. The other man speeded up in front of her in the blink of an eye. (for my sake,lets go man #1 and man #2)

Her first thought was instantly 'vampires'

Man #2 circled her like she was his prey. In a way she was, in his eyes anyway.

Sophie saw her frightened expression and immediately wanted to run to her but she was held back by man #1.

"Leave her alone! Your business is with me."Celia gave her a grateful look at that.

Both of the men ignored her and man #2 stopped circling her and asked,
"You're Facilier's daughter aren't you?"

Celia made a brave face at the mention of her father and crossed her arms."And so what if I am?"

The man gave her a very unnerving smile and sped towards her. Before he could get too far, man #1 was suddenly gone and with the momentary distraction, Celia did the move her father had once taught her,The Card Slice. It was strictly for emergencies and for supernatural creatures only, her father said.

She took a card from underneath her hat and threw the card, like one would with a boomerang or disk and it cleanly cut off man #2's head from his body.

Celia was stunned that the move worked but was even more stunned that she killed someone. She killed someone.

That thought kept repeating in her head that she didn't notice a man in a suit approaching her.

"Are you alright, my dear?" asked the suit man, instantly pulling Celia out of her thoughts.

"Huh..Oh..Im okay, I guess?" Celia answered half heartedly, not fully concentrating on what the man was saying.

Sophie walked up to her and without saying anything, hugged her. Celia hugged her back, shaking slightly from the adrenaline and shock.

When she finally calmed down, she looked embarrassed and mumbled a few sorries.

Sophie shared a look with the man, who Celia vaguely remembered  from one of her visits to Rosseau's. Eljiah, was it?

The man nodded and sped away leaving Celia and Sophie alone.

Sophie released her from the hug and said "There's no need to say sorry, okay? It's kill or be killed around here. You did the right thing."

It wasn't comforting in the least but nontheless Celia nodded and wiped the few tears on her face that she didn't realize escaped.

"Thanks, I'll remember that."

Sophie looked on as she staggered out of the alley and then she too, headed back inside Rosseau's.

There they both parted, both deep in their own thoughts. Not knowing that someone was watching.

That someone picked up Celia's card from the alley floor and chuckled darkly. Looks like they had a new voodoo witch in town.

And that's the prologue!
So how'd I do? >_<
