Chapter Three

- Third POV -

MIKAELSON
COMPOUND

The next day, Ana walks inside the courtyard and sees a few housekeepers preparing for a breakfast brunch.

"Ana." Klaus said, gently walks down the stairs and into the courtyard.

"Klaus? What's with the breakfast food and pastries?" Ana asked, gesturing to the decorated table.

"Elijah and I have invited Eric and Nora for a breakfast brunch. It was Elijah's idea." Klaus said. "Are you able to join us or do you have something else?"

"Well, I could stay for a while, I wanna see how things go." Ana said.

"We could use some assistance." Elijah said. "With Kol and Rebekah unavailable, the three of us will have to do for now."

"Have you spoken to Christy?" Ana asked.

"I have." Klaus said. "She's gonna be preoccupied, but she did offer her help whenever we need it."

"That's Christy. Always a helping hand whenever you need." Ana said. "So, when can we expect Eric and Nora to show up?"

"A few minutes." Elijah said.

"Alright then, let's hope we have nothing to worry about." Ana said.

⚜️⚜️

Minutes after, Eric and Nora had arrived at the Mikaelson Compound. Klaus and Elijah are sitting opposite the ends of the table, Ana is sitting across from Eric and Nora.

Everyone is eating their plates of breakfast food.

"The breakfast is good. Especially, the pastries." Nora complimented with a small smile, taking a forkful bite of her French toast.

"But the breakfast brunch isn't really why Nora and I are here." said Eric. "We are no threat to you, Klaus and Elijah Mikaelson."

"We wish we could believe you." said Klaus.

"We have no reason to come to New Orleans." Nora said.

"So, you guys and your army of True blood vampires are just here to explore and enjoy New Orleans?" Ana asked.

"Of course." Eric said.

"You know, what, I'm getting tired of this bullshit." Nora said with an attitude.

"Nora?" Eric said, trying to calm her down.

But Nora won't have it. "No, Eric. Klaus and Elijah Mikaelson think we have come here under some guise of wicked schemes, but we have not. We have come to New Orleans for our own damn business and we will not be questioned about it."

"Let's go, Nora." Eric said, getting up to his feet.

"Gladly." Nora said with an attitude, getting up to her feet.

And Eric and Nora both walk away.

"That was a little bit heated." Ana said.

"Or maybe, it was an act to throw us off our suspicions." Elijah said.

"Not you too, Elijah." Ana said to her husband.

"We've dealt with old friends before." Klaus said.

"Maybe, Eric and Nora were right. We have nothing to worry about with them and their True blood vampire army." Ana said.

"And that is exactly what they want to think." Klaus said.

"So, you guys really think Eric and Nora are up to something bad?" Ana asked.
