Kimberly Pierce

Chapter 72

Kimberly's pov_________________________

The next morning, Nik, Hayley, Marcel, Diana, Chase and I were in the study.

Nik pulled out a pair of cuffs. "I should stop packing these away. There's always one family member or another in need of a good shackling" Nik turned to Marcel. "Find Rebekah or Eva. Or whoever the bloody hell that was, use these to stop her from doing magic, and don't hurt her. The non-psychopathic bits are still my sister"

"All right. I won't be the only one looking for her. She killed witch kids. The 24-hour hold that Elijah got the covens to agree ended at midnight. Every witch in the city is gonna be gunning for her" Marcel said.

"Go to Elijah, get him to charm his elderly witch into calling off the hunt" 

"And leave Hope? Don't you think I should stay here and protect our daughter?" Hayley asked.

"Jackson has been working night and day to secure this compound, surrounding it with his werewolf army, not to mention the fact that I'm here, and I know the best way to protect our child is to get Rebekah out of that serial killer's body and back into the original model"

"Hmm. And what will you be doing while we're doing all the dirty work?" I asked.

"Why, attending to the even dirtier work. As usual... I need Diana and Chase to stay with Hope. As a backup for the werewolves" 

"Sense when are we werewolf backup?" Diana asked offended. 

"Just stay here and keep an eye on them" I said and I left the compound. 

I kept trying to call Elijah, but he wouldn't answer me. So I had to do it vampire-style and found him at a house. It's not his house. It's this really old lady, Josephine. I think that's the witch he charms.

"Elijah" I walked in and he and Gia talking. I noticed the look they were giving each other. Clearly meant that they slept together. 

"I'm gonna go see if I can find Josephine" Gia left us alone.

"Well, now I see why you didn't answer my calls" 

"Josephine LaRue can be rather recalcitrant. She is, however, enamored with Gia's musical process and cavalier spirit"

"Hmm. So the baby vamp is now the witch whisperer?" I said with a hint of jealousy. Elijah smiled. "I'm just glad that you found someone so... Multitalented to spend your time with instead of the woman who was literally designed for you"

"What exactly do you want from me?"

"When we were protecting Hope, we slept together almost every night, and now that we're back home, you're distant from me, was I just a couple-day toy for you, then you move onto the next?" 

Before he could respond we heard footsteps coming toward us. Elijah and I stood up as Gia and Josephine walked in.

"Madame LaRue" Elijah said.

"Mr. Mikaelson. Hmm. Have you come to impress me once more with young Gia's talents?" Josephine took a seat and looked at me. "What. pray tell, does this one do?"

"This?" I asked offended. 

"This one is family, Madame" Elijah spoke quickly. "We've come to ask a favor"

"Which is?"

"Eva is back in control of her body, and she killed children last night" Elijah explained.

"Then you need to let the witches put that body down. Evas will use up your sister just like she did the others"

"The others?" I asked confused.
