After centuries of being walked over, a select few the Bennett bloodline have had enough.
They have decided that they are not going to be magic vending machines for vampires and werewolves, although that is how some Bennett's have done in order to...

"The Bennett coven?" Bonnie repeats with a raised brow. Her mother or Grams had never told her about such a thing. Glancing over at Iridessa, she guessed that her cousins hadn't either. Only Lucy and Venus nodded their heads in understanding to Esther.
"The Bennett Coven was ruthless and one of the most powerful out of all covens," Venus answered while clenching her fists.
She hated what her bloodline had become. It was embarrassing. Before they had everyone bowing in respect, and now they were being mocked at. Lucy squeezed her shoulder. She understood her concerns. She was unhappy with what they had become as well. But they had to take this one step at a time.
Esther noticed this and nodded her head, a rather sad smile tugging at the edge of her lips. "Ayana wants you to raise the Coven once again," she explained. "The last Queen of the Coven was Araminta Bennett," she said, making them all curious. Iridessa spoke again.
"What would we have do to in order to activate the coven?" She asked eagerly. She had always wanted to be part of a coven. It was like one big family. Esther smiled at her eagerness and said, "You will have to invoke the people of your bloodline."

Outside, the Mikaelson siblings were getting anxious and restless. Kol was pacing up and down. He hated that Esther spelled the room. He couldn't hear anything at all. Not even a heartbeat. It was as if they weren't even there. "Ugh! When are they going to be done?" He groaned, sprawling himself on the floor, making Finn almost trip over him as he was going to join his siblings. "We are just going to have to wait," he said calmly, making all of his siblings look at him.
"Did Esther tell you what was going on?" Rebekah asked with a raised eyebrow, looking at him sharply. Finn and Esther had always been close, making her jealous. She wanted to have a close relationship with her mother too.
Finn shook his head, hands in his pockets. "She did not tell me a thing," he answered. His siblings were still suspicious but they decided to drop the subject for now.

Iridessa, Bonnie and Shannel looked at each other confused, apart from Venus and Lucy who just smirked at each other, obviously knowing what they didn't, making the other women frustrated and rather jealous. Their parents obviously told them everything that they needed to know, while they were in the dark.
"So we need the Queen to activate the coven?" Shannel asked with a raised eyebrow. She was more comfortable in the presence of the Original Mother. Esther nodded her head. "So how do we know who's the Queen?" Iridessa asked. She was feeling restless. She just wanted to get up and do other things. Sitting down and talking wasn't something that she was good at.
Esther looked at the ambitious Bennett women in front of her. Then she smiled.
"A simple test is all it takes. The Queen can control expression. Express does not control them. As you know, Expression is a form of the highest dark magic and can destroy one from the inside out, but not for the Queen," she explained, her pale blue eyes resting on each of them, her expression serious.
"Are you ready for this test, ladies?"
The women looked at each other and nodded. "We are ready," they said in unison.
