Empire

Chapter 6

They walked in the streets and got in the middle of town. It is so busy filled with tourists, witches in disguise, music and shops.

This is definitely not the New Orleans they left at. They saw Sophie far with some witches and they can also hear her crying. She and the witches are getting surrounded by the vampires.

They went into a building’s window balcony to oversee the affairs.

Well, well, what have we got here? Isn’t it the famous Sophie Deveraux?

Leave us alone Marcel. We are just here for my sister, not for any trouble

But Elijah and Klaus can see the fury under her voice. They can also see that she is crying but trying not to show.

Sophie gave Marcel a scathing look.

Witches shouldn’t do magic. That is the rule. My town, My rules, Remember. And anyone who tried to follow my rules will be executed

We’ll take her and be on our way

No, you can’t.

Marcel?

I think that you witches have forgotten who is your king. You dare to try to do magic on my empire. This is becoming a regular thing now, witches trying to magic. It’s like you all don’t want to follow the rules. So I’m going to make an example of Saara here, which will make you witches think twice before breaking my rules

You can’t. My sister’s soul won’t be at peace. She need to be in the cemetery with the ancestors

Not my problem. Your sister should have thought about it before she performed magic, Don’t you agree people?

The vampires shouted their agreement.

Marcel ordered a vampire to take Saara’s body away.

No. Please don’t. Leave my sister alone
at least in death.

Elijah and Klaus can see that the vampires prevented Sophie and her friend to move any further to stop the atrocity. They can also see that the witches stand by their side unhelping.
Klaus felt a tug at his stomach when he saw Marcel. It is true, It is marcel. The uneasy feeling increased when he witnessed the ongoing incidents. He wonder what happened to the boy he saved. They saw that the group dispersed.

Elijah looked at his brother and saw worry in his face. He knows what Marcel meant to Klaus, and seeing him like this will be a shock to him.

We need a plan, Elijah claimed

Yes. I’m going to have a private chat with Marcellus and you are going to find about what else has changed in our town, Klaus answered back

Elijah agreed on that, he doesn’t want Marcel to know about him or Rebekah at this point. Judging by what they saw here the Marcel they know is gone.
