Ashley walked into the cafe as she looked around for the noble brother.

She decided she meet him first after telling Slater to convey her message, perhaps it would help make up her mind.

Besides her powers were tinkling with mischief, ready to cause chaos.

Ashley walked to the counter as she tapped her gloved handed on the counter. "I would love a cup of Earl Grey, the british style please and perhaps a slice of raspberry cake to pair with."

The guy at the counter blushed red as he scribbled down the order. Ashley noticed a pair of eyes following her as she took a seat by the fresh window.

Just as the waiter left after placing her order, a voice interrupted her, "Sorry to interrupt but you wanted to meet me, Ms...."

"DeAngelo, Ashley DeAngelo. I assume you are Elijah. Pleasure to meet you."

Elijah watched the woman in front of him with intrigue. Her aura was unlike anything he had ever seen.

"Why don't we welcome the evening with refreshments before we start?" Ashley said as she stirred her tea.

Elijah placed his orders, "I was told you had something important related to my family."

"Hm, important indeed. Your father...Mikeal."

His whole aura darkened the moment Ashley took the forbidden name.

"What do you know about him?" There was a barely suppressed threat in his tone.

"Nothing much. It's just that he is currently desiccated at a cemetery." Ashley looked at the setting sun as she felt the conflicting emotions of the Original beside her.

Actually, who even named them 'Originals'... it was so unsophisticated and was lacking elegance.

"If you are lying..." Ashley refocused on the conversation as she cut him off, "I need a favour in exchange for the information."

Elijah remained silent for a moment, "I will give you my word should you take me there...yourself."

"Sounds fair. How about you leave your contact and I will inform you the time." Ashley finished her dessert as she placed her phone on the table.


The Next Day

Ashley texted the meeting place in Charlotte to Elijah before strolling through the streets of LA.

The Hollywood was filled with tourists as usual. There were many street bands perform, creating a lively environment.

Ashley sat at a outdoor Italian restaurent enjoying her Lasagna. Persephone always liked authentic Italian cruisine which influenced her too.

'I hope they are okay.' She thought before hatred filled her against Hecate.

Which reminds her of Hecate's pesky little witches...the so-called servants of nature...annoying little flies, always interfering their nose where it doesn't belong.

Ashley finished her lunch and paid her bills before disappearing with a purple mist.

Apparently the mist is active here too.

She has set the meeting place to a tourist garden near the outskirts of Charlotte.

When she reached the place, she found Elijah already waiting for her ahead of time.

"You seem really eager to see your father. It's either love or extreme hate. Though I think I would place my bet on the second one." Ashley spoke as she reached the gazebo.

Elijah turned around, when Ashley felt a presence right behind her, "And you brought company."

"Hello Niklaus."
