Chapter 18
A Close Call
"Everything that brought us here to New Orleans was a lie" Elijah declared. "The story that Sophie Deveraux, fabricated, this struggle for control of the French Quater, this war between witches and vampires, wasn't over territory at all. "It was over Davina."
"Who?" Andrea asked.
"The only survivor of this harvest ritual," he said sarcastically.
"It's better to indulge him" Rebekah whispered.
"Eight months ago, Sophie Deveraux and her sister Jane-Anne, lost everything. And four months after that, Andrea reemerges, from the ashes, involved with the originals. And all hope is renewed" Elijah explained.
"If Sophie Deveraux is successful, in capturing Davina, she can return Jane-Anne's daughter, back to life. We thought we came here, to wage a war for power, this is about family" Elijah declared.
Both Rebekah and Klaus sat up straighter at the statement.
"In order to return her niece back to life, Sophie will fight to the death. That makes her more dangerous than anyone else" he declared.
"Are you telling me you wouldn't?" Andrea asked, making all the siblings look at her. "Tell me, I'm not the only one seeing the similarities here? You the original family you fight for each other to the death and I ... I just want mine at peace" she confessed, glancing down at the ground.
"You mean your sister," Klaus said.
"Exactly" Andrea nodded, standing up, and giving Elijah the shaw she had been wearing only the day before. "Sophie gave that to me, when I was in the cemetery with her. And only yesterday, did I realise, that was my sister's."
"She's been baiting you this whole time," Rebekah said, appearing next to her.
"We were wrong," Andrea stated, shaking her head. "Agnes isn't the one holding onto my sister's body, it's Sophie. Sophie is holding a grudge because she didn't get her niece back. And I bet you she won't hand Aurora over, until her niece is resurrected" she declared.
"So we bring her bloody niece back, problem solved" Klaus shrugged.
"I want to meet this Davina" Andrea declared.
"Marcel will never allow it" Elijah persisted. "We don't even know where she is."
Andrea walked over to him, glancing down at his hand, tucked in his pocket. "Do you trust me?" she asked, receiving no response. "Well, either way, I want to meet that girl and I will. With or without yours or Marcel's premision."

Andrea flipped through the journal one final time. "You know, your brothers always been a bit of a dick" she told Rebekah, slamming the journal shut, and tossing it to the side.
"Which one?" Rebekah laughed. "They both have a stick up their ass."
A laugh fell from her lips at the comment. Rebekah came over to her, offering her a bowl of fruit, she smiled at the original before grabbing an apple.. "I meant Elijah" she chuckled.
"Well, despite, all my brother's flair and flourish, and his fancy suits, he has always been, a bit of a dick," Rebekah said, smiling at Andrea. "How are you?" she asked.
"I feel fine, which, I'm sure is Sophie related" she muttered.
Only hours earlier, her neck had been stabbed by what seemed to be a needle, she knew it was magic related but she seemed to be perfectly fine.
