Darkness Will Fall | Volume 1 : Sacrifice T.O}

Chapter 48: Revelation

I grab Hayley and go at vampire speed to Marcel's, the door guarded by a vampire who should be with Klaus, he doesn't want to let me pass so I kick him in the chest which makes him fly to the other side of the room.

Talia: Tell me it's not you?!

Marcel: Hello already, I miss you too.
And what did I do?

Hayley: A biker came and blew up in the bayou, injured people.

Marcel: Don't blame me for something I didn't do, I would never harm your pack.
I know how much you care about Talia and I would never want to make you suffer. And you didn't need to send Francis away, I wanted the three of us to talk.

Hayley: Let's talk? Well, go ahead, we'll listen to you.

Marcel: You're not afraid, you remind me of your father.

Talia: What do you mean?

Marcel: And yes I knew him, I knew the whole family and besides if you knew them you should know that he had a lot of enemies in this town.
In the 90s the crescent wolves had the power here, at least they tried they were there to fight. They were very talented, they would have killed anyone to be stronger.

Talia: Oh so you put a curse on them?
Why did you make me believe you didn't know anything
21：

Marcel: To protect you, as for the curse it was either massacre them and I'm not a fan of mass killings. I have principles, I hate it when people attack children.

Talia: Like Davina..

Hayley: I heard about it.

Marcel: You didn't just hear Andréa and Olivia Labonhaire talk about it, you are living proof of it.

Hayley: Were you the one who killed our parents?

Marcel: There was a betrayal in the pack saint, I arrived after the battle after bringing Talia and Fays to safety. When I came back you were in your convent.

Hayley: Why would I believe you?

Marcel: Believe what you want, but you were the last of the Labonhairs. I would have had a good advantage if I had used you but instead I
entrusted to Kyran here take this.

Talia: What is it?

Marcel: Money to leave, to start all over again whatever happens in the bayou I'm not concerned but given the way things are going you shouldn't refuse my help.

Hayley: So that's the plan? Leave and take Klaus and Elijah with me?

Marcel: No, but it would have a rather positive side effect.

Talia: Marcel take your own advice, pack your bags, because we're not leaving. We will stay for the pack.

Marcel: I was born in this city.

Hayley: There are three of us.

Talia: Goodbye Marcel.

Marcel: Wait, the biker is addicted to gambling, check with the humans who take care of the casino and don't forget... When things go wrong, don't forget that I wanted to help you.
I thank him quickly and leave with Hayley to the bayou, Elijah has joined us Eve has succumbed to her wounds.. Oliver completely relentless as if to make the pack revolt, he tries to take power... Blood calls for blood, they are going to want revenge and I can't let that happen.
Two deaths in one day, Eve then now father Kieran. After finishing getting ready I stayed with Camille who is completely disoriented, she lost her brother and now her uncle.
I understand what she may be feeling right now, I join Klaus, Elijah and Hayley outside for the march of the dead behind Father Kieran's coffin.

Talia: It disgusts me.

Klaus: Of what my dear?

Talia: Geneviève who dares to show up at the funeral, Elijah you are lucky that she signed the pact otherwise I would have ripped her head off.

Hayley: Personally, I'm a hundred months pregnant and I want to kill everyone.

Elijah: I was going to say that I thought you were lovely.

Hayley: Thank you.

Klaus: You were the target of the suicide bomber, that's fine without you would have been my first choice.

Elijah: You should come back and live at home.

Klaus: Honestly, I loved carrying you over my shoulders and dragging you back to the
HQ despite your screams and you know that I will do it for the safety of my child.

Talia: Except I'm here, she's totally safe.

Hayley: Just because of a nightmare you turn into dad of the year?

Klaus: So let me explain I had a father who lived to torment me I don't care about being the same man, when my children are born I will finally be able to break this cycle.

Hayley: You're forgetting one thing, it's not your child, it's ours.
Talia: Also think about formulating my sentences better, my son, it was very moving.
Klaus: I hate funerals...
I see Hayley who is starting to feel bad, I take her in my arms before she falls to the ground. I hurry to go to HQ with Elijah and Klaus then Genevieve who followed us.
Geneviève: I can help him!
Talia: You don't touch her!
Klaus: She was a nurse.
Talia: I don't care, I'll take care of it, Klaus bring me some chamomile, I'll try a spell. She's cold you have to cover her, Hayley stay with me okay.. Injured body comes back to life with me, injured body comes back to life with me!
Elijah: She's still not breathing!
Talia: I know... I smell Monique! She cast a spell on him, she's in a kind of dream.
Genivieve: Use this amulet.
I grab it and close my eyes before swinging the amulet above her while reciting the formula, she stands up suddenly, breathing heavily. I take her in my arms and hold her close to me.
Hayley: I saw him... That monster, he tried to kill me... I saw Mickaël...
Klaus: You have shown yourself to be very resilient, a mother and daughter fighter..
Hayley: We don't have much choice.
Talia: We have no choice, we have to come back
icl..
Klaus: You see me relieved.
Talia: On the other hand, no surveillance vampires. They counted on each other, that's enough.
Klaus: Fine, but all I want is for this child to be protected.
Hayley: But you don't think about me, what will happen after giving birth?
Klaus: Come with me, please I have something to show you Hayley.
I help her up from the table before following Klaus into Hayley's room, he opens a door which shows a beautiful child's bedroom.
Klaus: I would be really happy if you two stayed here, our daughter has to be raised by both parents and that aunt is so protective.
Hayley: You, me, Elijah and the miracle baby under one house is very idealistic.
Talia: I really like this idea..
Klaus: You said you saw my father..
Hayley: He's not your real father, why do you call him that?
Klaus: Because only a father can inflict such pain, what did he tell you?
Hayley: All lies.

Talia: Go and rest now, you really need it. Klaus waits for me.
Klaus: Who does he have?
Talia: We've only been passing each other for a while, you seem to miss my absence a lot.
Klaus: Do you think... I will find peace?
Talia: Of course, I still think so Klaus and I hope so with all my heart. But it's not just Mickaël who haunts you, makes peace with the living, particularly Marcel.
I kiss his cheek and blend into the crowd, walking this way and that until I land at Lafayette Cemetery. I wander between the vaults and approach Jace's again, I sit on a bench in front of the large tomb only filled with urns.
Talia: Hi, I really wonder what you would do in my place or even if you were by my side, I feel lost but.. At the same time I know what I have to do, all that.. It's just out of my reach...
Now I'm a trybrid, I have my pack, my sister. Rebekah is finally free but I feel like nothing is going to end well... I have this bad feeling that there will always be something to stop us.
But I'm ready to fight more than ever.
