Episode-15

JAZZ CLUB, 1919

A jazz song played at a local club while everyone enjoyed themselves. People were dancing, singing and mingling with their partners and friends happily. At the bar Elijah, Lana, and Nikole turned to observe the scene before them.

Nikole looked around with a smug smirk, "Well this is a first. Werewolves, vampires, witches and dirty cops."

She glanced at a group of cops toasting their glasses together and drinking to the occasion before continuing, "All happy as clams and drunk as stoats."

Nikole smiled as Elijah ordered three shots.

Lana leaned over Nikole as she spoke, "You gotta love this city."

Elijah raised his glass with a happy smile, "To a new era! Collaboration in the face of Prohibition."

Lana smirked she held her own glass before looking at the Mikealson siblings, "To your docks, their booze, and our theatres to hide it under. You're welcome."

They happily clinked their glasses together.

Nikole looked at Lana with a smirk as she leant down to her level, "Now, I shall have to think of a way to thank you personally, in a manner befitting a werewolf queen."

Lana looked up with a flirty smile as she stroked Nikole's face affectionately, "Catch you on the dance floor."

She walked past Nikole with her hips swaying before she headed into the crowd.

Nikole looked at her backside with a smirk.

Elijah looked at her sister; amused at her behaviour, "Who would have thought it possible? The unification of New Orleans?"

Nikole playfully gripped onto Elijah's shoulders before smiling in delight.

"We did it, brother."

Elijah placed his arm around his sister's shoulder and whirled her around to overlook the scene before him.

Elijah nodded proudly, "Oh, certainly, we worked together, Nikolia. But this vision? This was all you."

MIKAELSON COMPOUND

Nikole laid in bed of her room. Her eyes were closed and she was gasping in pain from Papa Tunde's blade being embedded in her chest.

Elijah watched her, clearly conflicted. He shook his head as he looked at her sister before he whispered firmly, "This was all you."

Almost as if he was assuring himself that he made the right decision.

Cami rushed into the compound in a hurry. The other vampires glance at her, confused by her presence.

When Elijah heard her arrival, he walked out onto the balcony to greet her.

"What's she doing here?" A random vampire asked in confusion.

Elijah ignored him as he called out to cami, "Camille!" He nodded at her and gestured for her to come upstairs, "Please."

Cami walked up the stairs as she asked him, "Why did you call me? Have you found a way to help my uncle?"

Elijah spoke politely, "I can try, but first, I need your help."

Cami shook her head in frustration, "I don't have time for games, Elijah. The hex on him is getting worse by the day."
