(Après Moi, Le Dèluge)

"You've convinced my siblings but you've yet to convince us" Elijah said with narrowed eyes as him, Marcel and Nora were scattered in the same room as Sophie. "I've already told you, the first signs already come and gone" Sophie argued. "So fix her" Marcel growled. "She can't be fixed" Sophie spat.

"We can't wait, it won't stop at the earth sign, and if we wait it out you immortals will be the only ones left" Sophie continued just as Davina caused a storm that rattled the entirety of New Orleans. "Convinced now?" The witch shrugged watching as the originals shared a glance.

Marcel left the room leaving the desperate witch to convince originals. "You know a lot about magic right?" Sophie tried looking at the other female in the room. "If your approaching a point I suggest you get to it" Nora scowled. "I wasn't I was just saying that you know a lot about magic" Sophie said before walking about of the room.

"Dammit" Ella growled before abruptly standing up. "What was she implying Ellanora?" Elijah asked her very much confused by the witches random statement. "It means that she knows I think she's right. I like Davina trust me and I don't agree with killing children but to save everyone in this city she has to die in the harvest. She won't survive either way, it's just a matter of whether we allow her to take everyone down with her" Ella sighed.

"Marcel will never agree and what if they're wrong and Davina does not come back" The oldest living sibling continued. "Then I'll kill Sophie myself, she's had way too many chances and I'm surprised she's kept her life this long. If Davina does not come back Marcel will be the least of her problems. I'd say it's been a long time coming" Ella finalized before leaving like the two before her had.

Elijah just smiled to himself, it appears his sister hadn't quite gotten over the grudge she was holding towards the witch for linking herself to a certain wolf. Perhaps there was hope for his family and maybe they weren't completely corrupted beyond the point of repair, because every now and again he saw their humanity forcing it's way through the layers of resentment and betrayal.

And that gave him hope for himself, if Niklaus and Ellanora could find it in their hearts to heal and learn to love again perhaps he could too.

"No way! You're not touching her" Marcel yelled jumping over the railing and punching Klaus as Ella walked in staring at the situation in amusement. "Ok. I'll let you have that one" Klaus said angrily. "I'm disappointed, I was kinda hoping for more than a punch" Ella sighed but put her hands up in surrender when both her brothers glared at her.

"Right, sorry. Not the time" She muttered. "Marcel, no one wishes to see Davina come to harm less than I, but there is no scenario here if we simply wait this out. She's going to die" Elijah said trying to console the angry vampire. "According to Sophie the witch who screwed over everybody here" Marcel scowled.

"The harvest was working before it stopped. If a non-believer like Sophie Devereux can come to have faith that these girls will be resurrected then, I also, am a believer" Elijah argued. "Well what do you think about this, your the one who apparently knows so much" Marcel continued turning to look at Ella.

"I think that everyone needs to stop asking for my bloody opinion. Kol was the one who knew everything about witches, if anyone would know anything it would be him. But guess what he isn't here. Davina will die either way, I don't know whether I think she'll come back, but what I do know is it all depends on what your willing to sacrifice" Nora growled before storming out of the compound heading straight for Rousseau's.
