Raelyn's P.O.V.

After I had changed into dry clothes, Klaus had come to fetch me, to help him and Elijah bring their dead mother and her coffin to the plantation, so that they could consecrate her remains, for the Witch's Ritual. On the way, Elijah explained The Witch's Harvest Ritual to me, along with the plan he had come up with so they could finish it. He also told me about The Reaping, which is what comes after The Harvest. How all four girls sacrificed in The Harvest, would be brought back during The Reaping. After explaining these things to me, he had gotten a call from Rebekah shortly after, telling him how she had somehow managed to find Marcel and Davina, and convinced Marcel to allow Davina's sacrifice to happen. Seeing Marcel was now on board, she soon met back up with us at the plantation. Once everything they needed was in place, they were able to consecrate Esther's remains without issue.

A few moments later..

As I'm sitting on the plantation's porch, I hear footsteps approaching, catching my attention

As I'm sitting on the plantation's porch, I hear footsteps approaching, catching my attention. Turning to the left, I see Elijah walking towards me. Giving a small smile, I stand, and slowly head towards him. "Are you alright?" I ask, remembering how they each had to cut open their palms, in order to perform the consecration. Giving a small smile, he nods, and holds out his hand to me. Seeing this, I carefully take his hand in both of mine, so I can take a look at it. He doesn't resist, and patiently waits for me to finish. Once I do, he speaks. "See? I've healed, you need not worry." He says quietly. Hearing this, I sigh in relief, and nod, before releasing his hand. "I know it's stupid of me to worry, especially when you heal just as fast as me, but.." I trail off with a sigh, before looking up at him. "I can't help it. It's a habit.." I say, with an awkward smile. Chuckling quietly, he gives an understanding smile. "I know." He says. Hearing this, I nod, and give him a small smile, before lowering my head. "Right.." I say quietly. Soon, silence falls over us.

But, just as it begins to feel awkward, Hayley walks into view, catching both of our attentions

But, just as it begins to feel awkward, Hayley walks into view, catching both of our attentions. Seeing this, I quickly speak, thankful for the distraction. "Hayley..? Something wrong?" I ask. "Oh, no, I'm fine, don't worry, I just.." she trails off, looking towards Elijah. "Klaus, sent me to get you. They're ready to goto the graveyard." She explains to him. Hearing this, he simply gives a nod, and walks away. Seeing he didn't even bother to talk to her, she sighs in defeat. "I see he still hates me.." she says, trailing off. Sighing, I speak. "Oh stop, it hasn't even been a day yet. I told you, give him time. Now come, let me see your hand a moment.." I say gently, before carefully taking her wrist, and examining the hand she had to cut. Seeing the slow healing wound, I sigh, and meet her gaze. "This'll be kind of gross, but bear with me a moment.." I say, before bringing my thumb to my lips, and pricking it with one of my fangs, drawing a few drops of blood. Once done, I give her a small apologetic smile, before gently running my bleeding thumb over her wound, watching as the open wound closes. Once completely sealed, I tuck my thumb under my jacket sleeve, and wipe the excess blood off her palm. "There, good as new. Come on, let's get to the others.." I say, before leading her away.
