Epic Love [Elijah Mikaelson]

Chapter 69. Le Grand Guignol

In the bayou, Celeste, who is still possessing Sabine's body, has her hands tied in front of her as she leans back against a tree. Hayley, I, and Eve stand in front of her, their rifles aimed at her, while the rest of their clan, still stuck in wolf form, surrounds her. Celeste frustrated "So what's this, payback? Look. I'm sorry I tricked you. I wasn't after you" to me "But you"

Eve says "What, and we were just collateral damage?"

I wrap my arms to my chest "You almost burned her and Jackson alive in that plantation fire."

Celeste struggles against the ropes to free herself as Hayley fires the gun.

Hayley shoots a warning shot near Celeste "Careful, Sabine, or Celeste or whatever you like to call yourself. Sudden moves make me jumpy" She cocks the gun again "And homicidal."

I take out my magical claws "I am a murdering witch" I put the claws on her neck "I love to that to witches"

Celeste wonders "What, you're gonna kill me, honey?"

"Am I not clear, baby?"

Hayley gives me a smirking look "No. I know better" The wolves growl behind us "See, I know all about you. I know that you like to off yourself and then jump into other people's bodies. Well, that's not gonna happen here. I know I can't kill you, but try hexing me, and my friend Lydia is a dark witch and Eve here will kneecap you."

"Go for them, and then, well, I'll really make it hurt."

Celeste asks "So, what do you want?"

"Back in the 90s, you inhabited a witch named Brynne Deveraux, remember? Marcel had her-- you-- put a curse on a lot of werewolves so they'd only turn human on a full moon."

"I see. Yes. That was me. Let me guess" she looks at Hayley "You want revenge."

Hayley looks at me then at her "I want you to undo the curse."

Celeste smiles smugly.

In the Bayou, Celeste sits against a tree stump. Though her hands are still tied together, she has managed to mix together some herbs into a mason jar "Here" Hayley takes the jar from her "It's herbs ground into paste. It'll act as a conduit for the spell. On the next full moon, your people become human. Feed it to them, the curse will be broken."

Hayley says "Great way to poison us all at once."

I smile at Hayley "Here we are" We head to leave her.

"Look" I turn to her, nod to Hayley to leave us alone and she leaves me with Eve "How?"

"What?"

"The child you carry inside you" 

"You are the older witch, you tell me"

"I know you have no reason to trust me, but, Lydia, I actually like you. I was you, caring for Elijah when he cared more for his brother, and I ended up dead. So did a lot of others. This, call it a chance for me to give you what I was too in love to give myself. It's a chance to free yourself from the Originals."

"Thanks for the advice"

Eve and Hayley still standing. Eve wonders "You believe her?"

A wolf growls behind her. Suddenly, Elijah appears and joins us "Whatever she's promised you, it's a lie."

I turn to him "Elijah, it's okay. I'm okay."

"She cannot be trusted."

I put my hand on his cheek "For Hayley"
