"Where were you last night?"

I look up to see Elijah approaching me with a piece of old paper and a small vial of blood "Somewhere"

He sets down the paper in front of me and doesn't question me any further "I need you to sign this"

I look at the paper and then the pen he's holding out to me I look at the names drawn in blood and then look to Elijah "No"

He looks at me annoyed and I grit my teeth when I hear that banging of the workers again "Astrid I know your blood pacts are sacred so sign it so I know you will play nice"

I scoff and look at the paper and remember Niks words last night "Your right and I will play nice Elijah but I won't sign this, the vampire witches and werewolves can't control themselves and when the time comes ill protect our family"

I smile at him and lean back I can feel Elijah's eyes on me but he looks away when we hear Nik walk downstairs "Enough with all the racket!"

Elijah looks to him "Is there a problem, brother?..." he looks at the men "Gentlemen, please"

The noise stops and Nik steps forward annoyed "I agreed to a general sprucing up, not a bloody three-ring circus"

"Marcel and his minions abused our home for the better part of a century, Now, you might be content to live in squalor but I'm not"

I look to Nik "I agree with Elijah for once they turned this place into a pigsty"

" I agree with your Siblings, It's a new era in the French Quarter, This place could use a makeover"

I look over to the red head annoyed I'm still confused why Nik likes her so much "Nik why is she still alive?"

Nik smirks but the redhead ignores me and Nik looks to Elijah "Careful, Elijah. When this one agrees with you, it's a sure sign she wants something"

"Actually I do have a request, I'm told our coven hasn't been able to celebrate feast days in the open since Marcel restricted the use of magic, Now with the new peace, I'd like that to change"

I chuckle lightly Marcellus at least had one good idea "Am I to assume that you have a certain feast day in mind?" Elijah answers

"The Fête des Bénêdictions, Feast of the Blessings, In the past, members of the community offered witches gifts in exchange for blessings, We'd like to use it as a forum for introducing our young Harvest girls to society"

That gets my attention and I look to Genevieve "I think that's a perfect idea"

Elijah looks at me but looks back to Genevieve who looks at me knowingly and I don't like it one bit "So your coven attempted to destroy my family and you yourself held my siblings in unspeakable torment, And you would like a party for the witches"
