Voodoo Witch ✵ (The Originals Fanfic)

Chapter 5

[Edited.]

A lot of things had happened in a short span of a few days. To Celia, it all seemed like a blur. Like movie that was going to fast for her liking.

For one, Rebekah came and announced she was getting back Elijah, who Celia and Hayley was surprised to hear didn't exactly
bail on them. In fact, it was Klaus's doing. Not surprising.

'The man always manages to do something that makes a person go mad.'

Second, Rebekah showed them the coffins Klaus kept in store for his siblings in a dusty, cobwebbed cellar room. It turned out that the Originals were impossible to kill but as all things are, they had a weakness. One of them being, the mystical daggers Klaus used to control his siblings. Celia had only one response to that.

"Wow."

To which Hayley just stared incredulously at Celia's impressed look.

Celia noticed her staring and shrugged. "What? You gotta admit that's a stroke of genius. Man...I wish I had something over my sister. She's impossible to deal with."

Rebekah sneered and said,"Well, I'm sure you're exactly the same. An impossible brat."

Celia just stared as Rebekah stormed past her. Hayley was too transfixed on the coffins that it took Celia shouting for a minute or two to get Hayley back to reality.

"You okay?" asked Celia.

"Fine... I just feel like my life is a soap opera right now." replied Hayley, palming her face in exasperation and exhaustion.

"I'll have to agree with you on that one."

Rebekah's warnings succeeded in making poor Hayley extremely disturbed. Celia noticed and decided that she didn't like the blonde haired beauty. She had zero tact and was incredibly demanding and impatient.

"She's a bitch." Celia said one day to her new friend Josh.

He was one of the newly turned vampires under Marcel's rule. The two met each other and just clicked. Maybe it was due to the fact that Josh was still new to the supernatural and didn't quite fit in with the rest of the vampires and that Celia too didn't fit in with her own kind, witches. Their differences set them apart from their own but also made them find a friend in each other.

Josh, who was like an older gay bestfriend towards Celia, responded, "Well,she couldn't be that bad, right?"

"Oh, she's that bad. "

The both of them were currently in Celia's shop. Josh was looking through the trinkets there while Celia mournfully ate her ice cream.

"Did you know she nearly threw away my precious ice cream. My ice cream!All for those stupid blood bags." Celia angrily threw her plastic ice cream spoon at the dustbin in the back corner of the shop.

Josh put his hands up and said, "Hey, let's calm down now. No need to take it on the ice-cream. At least she didn't manage to throw it in the end, right?"

Celia took deep breaths to quell her anger and nodded at Josh once she calmed down.

"You know how I am with my ice-cream, J." said Celia with a pout.

"Hell if I don't. Remember when we first met? You threw an ice cream bar at me. Nearly impaled me. " Josh said while chuckling at the memory.

"I thought you were an intruder. How was I supposed to know you were there on Klaus's orders." said Celia defensively.

This made both of them sober up. Any mention of Klaus always did.

"You do know I'll always protect you right, J?" said Celia, suddenly turning the conversation around.
