Chapter X - Homecoming. Part 3

New Orleans, 2012

Hayley and I had a little chat and I must admit we have bonded a little. I promised to Rebekah that I would protect her and her baby even if it meant protecting them from Klaus themselves.

I returned to the compound and started to get ready for Fête des Bénédictions. I searched through my closet and picked up a vintage burgundy slip dress, matching coat and strappy heels. I slicked my hair into a bun but left some from pieces to frame my face. I didn't have any bag that would match the outfit so I went over to Rebekah room and I opened her wardrobe. All I saw were tons of clothes and accessories. I thought that when Klaus forced her to leave, she would take most of her clothes but most her things were here. Intact. I picked a small black Lady Dior bag.

Part of this whole show was to bring the witches a gift for exchange of a blessing. I intended to get into favour of one specific witch so prepared a lapis lazuli ring and a spell to gift to her

I went downstairs to the bar and poured myself a glass of bourbon. When I was about to take a sip of liquid. I heard someone enter the mansion. It wasn't Klaus and Elijah because this person walked very gently and unsteadily and they already left to the party. I put the glass down and went to see who it was. I saw a pale, fair skinned red head with green eyes. I recognised her. She was the witch that exposed Rebekah and that Klaus was sleeping around with.

"May I help you?" I asked

"I was looking for my bracelet." she started but I didn't let her finish

"Genevieve? Isn't it?" I asked with a cold tone. "For what you did to my sister I should snap your neck right now. But I'm trying to be a better person. So instead I will just wait until Niklaus gets bored of and removes you himself. And I've seen that happen many times before. So enjoy the perks while they last darling." I threatened her and then I left for the party leaving the witch shook.

When I arrived the parade was ending and most of the people already went to the private after party. Just like last time, every faction showed up. The music was playing and everyone was at the dance floor.
