Grace Niklaus had Invited all of Marcel's close members to a lunch. "Let us begin with a toast to our shared gift, immortality" Niklaus said rising from his chair with his glass "After' 1,000 years, one might expect for life to be less keenly felt, for its beauties and its sorrows to diminish with time, but as vampires, we feel more deeply than humans could possibly imagine"
"Insatiable need, exquisite pain Our victories, and our defeats. To my city, my home again. May the blood never cease to flow" "And the party never end" Marcel said raising his glass. I looked at him confused, knowing he was very hurt about loosing his kingdom "To New Orleans" Diego said, also raising his glass "To New Orleans" everyone said raising their glasses.
"I understand that some of you may have questions regarding the recent change in leadership, and I invited you here tonight to assure you that you are not defeated. No. My intentions moving forward are to celebrate what we have, what Marcel, in fact, took and built into this a true community of vampires" "What about her, the wolf?" Diego said pointing to Hayley. I didn't much like her anyway but I wouldn't punish a baby for her discretions.
"Had you let me finish, Diego, you would know that there is, of course, one further matter I would like to address. As many of you know, the girl is carrying my child. Consequently, I trust you will all pay her the appropriate respect" Niklaus said walking to stand behind Hayley "However, I understand that some of you are concerned by this vicious rumor that I intend to use the blood of our child to create hybrids. I assure you, I do not" Hayley rolled her eyes.
"Father of the year" she scoffed "It appears I will have to earn your trust" He said walking back to his seat between Marcel and I "Very well. We'll eliminate the root of your anxiety. You see, how can I sire any hybrids if there are no more werewolves alive in the bayou to turn?" Hayley's eyes widened "What? Klaus, no" "So eat, drink, and be merry, and tomorrow I suggest you have yourselves a little wolf hunt. Go ahead. Have fun. Kill them all" He smirked, sipping on his glass. Hayley angrily stood up and walked away "Niklaus-" "Klaus!"
My body froze at the familiar voice "where is our dear mate?" I looked to the entry way to see Finn and Kol walking through "Grace..." within seconds of our eyes locking arms enveloped me "I don't care how or why, I'm just glad your here" Kol whispered in my ear. I looked to Niklaus "Kol, let her go" Kol moved but only to glare at Niklaus "please Kol" I whispered. Kol looked hurt but let me go as I asked. I looked around the table, feeling embarrassed by the scene "Marcel" Marcel quickly stood and began helping me to the stairs. The Next Day
