Empire

Chapter 7

Klaus went inside the home Marcel is living. He saw the vampires was having a party of some sorts and he can only assume that it is like this everyday. He stopped a vampire walking by.

Hello there. I'm looking for Marcel, May I know where I can find him?

Who is asking? The vampire replied back

I assume you are not a fan of stories and legends?

Klaus is getting more amused that witches in this town have heard about him and his family while the vampires are clueless. Like he thought a bunch of goonies who don't know anything else except terrorizing witches.

Now, Now, If it isn't the famous Klaus Mikelson himself, Marcel exclaimed from the balcony

Klaus smiled at the vampire who is looking at him with a surprise look. He was by Marcel side in a fraction of second.

Marcel, Klaus addressed

I'm surprised. Last time I checked you and your family ran away from town.

I, We thought you were dead
Well you are wrong

Marcel moved in the crowd and gone to the window balcony facing the town.

Klaus stand beside him and looked over

It's a good view

Yeah, Of course. It's wonderful at nights. So what is the reason you are here?

No welcome, No hugs?

I know you mikelsons, you never looked back at this town. But you are suddenly here so it must be something

I have a business with a witch called saara. Apparently the witch was doing something that concern me, hence I thought I pay a little visit

Klaus can see Marcel face change at that. He knew he got his attention.

What did she do?

That's what I'm here to find out. You know, I got an information and I thought that I should pay a little visit to know what all the fuss is about. But I've been told that I was late

Witches aren't suppose to do magic, yet she broke that rule, so she deserves what she got

See that's what intrigues me, in my time the French quarter witches are a force to be reckon with. What changed?

Jealous?

Marcel try to find if there is any hidden agendas or plots beneath Klaus Mikelson, but couldn't find any. He also knows that Klaus is not a fool. He have to be careful here.

Not much Marcel, I'm just curious, that's all

Of course. But I'm sorry I can't say anything about it. I have to keep some secrets you know. It's how I am able to run my empire

Your empire it is!

Yes, Klaus, My empire. Listen everything changed. While you and your family ran away, I helped the town to rebuild it. So it is my empire now. Now you are my sire and I owe you everything and you are more than welcome to stay here as my special guest

Fair enough. In that case I have a favor to ask

Sure

I want you to give me the body of Saara.

I can return her body to her sister and in return I shall ask about her sister's business with me

Klaus, as I said I've got an empire to run. And you can't run it without rules. All should follow the rules and those who don't follow it should face the consequences. Saara is a witch who broke my rule and got what she deserved. If I don't make it an example how am I suppose to get respect from my vampires?

I totally understand it. You have already made an example. She does magic, you killed her. All I'm asking is the poor witch's body so that I can get the answer. After all, I would not have been here if not for her. So if I am going to get the answer I have to give her sister something

You met Sophie? Did she say anything about this?

Yes, I've met her. But the witch is grieving and not willing to speak. The other witches summarized to me about what happened to Saara

Marcel thought about that. So the reason for an original's sudden appearance in his town is because some witch cooked up something when she should have known better. He have heard that the sisters had a fall out after the failure of the harvest ritual. Yet, He is going to have words with Sophie. But first he have to play along with Klaus so that he can find out the intention behind his visit

Fine, You win
