My Sunshine | Camille O'Connell

(71) Exquisite Corpse | Part 2

So it's been a couple hours and the bitch parading around with my sister's soul inside of her is nowhere to be found.

And Hayley is losing it as a result. "Still no sign of her. What the hell is Eva waiting for?"

Marcel came in with a sigh. "She didn't wait. She took Josephine LaRue not half an hour ago."

I groan. "We were just with her. What are the odds of that?"

Hayley is confused. "If Eva doesn't need Hope, then where would she go?"

"The same place she kept all the other captives." He answers determined. "Where she took Davina."

I shake my head. "We're not losing her. I just got her back."

Elijah sighs. "Taken to a place no witch has been able to locate in two years."

I glare at my brother. "Not helpful, just mean."

That's when Marcel's phone rings. He looks down and his face turns murderous. "When I find you, I'm going to rip your head from your neck!" Vincent probably. Unless my boy has another person who pissed him off today.

I listen into the phone. "You may want to hold off on that decapitation-I found them all. Davina's alive. Sorry, I had to make it look convincing! If you were in on the plan, Eva would have known."

I smirk triumphantly. "I knew it!"

Marcel rolls his eyes. "Yeah, blasting me through a couple glass doors really sold it. Alright, round of applause. Now what?"

Vincent sighs. "Now, we got a problem. These kids, they're all linked to her. If she dies, they all die."

My nephew gets an idea as he turns to me. "Then we get a witch to unlink them."

I raise an eyebrow as Vincent states. "Gonna need somebody with some serious power."

My eyes widen as I figure out what the stare means. "Freya."

Elijah approaches with a nod. "Do you know where she is?"

I nod sadly. "Unfortunately I do. She's with Nik."

My brother groans in understanding. "Lovely. Then I suppose we should both go to convince Niklaus to hand her over. Any idea where he was going this morning?"

I thought for a moment. "If Freya was unable to do the spell for Rebekah anymore, he would most likely take her to someone else he knows could." My eyes widen. "There's only one other powerful witch in the city who would help us."

He nods solemnly. "Our wretched mother. Very well, he's keeping her in the cemetery. We best be quick."

I nod and the two of us leave without another word to Marcel or Hayley. Though I imagine Marcel will meet up with Vincent to prepare.

At least we have the skeleton of a plan this time around. And it's not even nightfall yet.

Progress!

><><><><

Elijah and I make it to the cemetery as fast as possible but stop when we hear Freya yell at Esther. "I can't do this. This spell requires an enormous amount of power."

"Which you have." Our mother points out.

Our new sister shakes her head. "And that power needs to be anchored, or I'll be lost inside Eva's mind along with Rebekah. Unlike your magic, mine isn't anchored to any one place-because of you, I have no home."

Esther shrugs. "Perhaps. But there is no other spell." Looking over at our brother.

Freya thinks for a moment before she realizes something and turns to Klaus. "You. I can use you as my anchor. I'll channel your power while I breach Eva's mind."
