Après Moi, Le Déluge

"The Italians call them strega. The Yoruba of West Africa call them aje, meaning mother. Where my mother was from, they called them häxa, and here we call them witch. Over the centuries, vampires have fought them and fought beside them, bedded them and burned them. Whether adversary or ally, they have been a force to be reckoned with. Their ancestral magic anchors this city. There's never been one all-powerful witch until Davina." Elijah explains to Klaus as they talk about...well, Davina.

"It's true. I saw the total damage she did on Sabine and her crew. She killed 3 witches by snapping their necks all together. I've never seen something like that." Elizabeth adds.

"Who is now tucked in safe and sound down the hall under my protection. Your Celeste was quite beautiful and a portent of evil, according to our volatile artist in residence." Klaus says, talking about Davina's sketches, made by a series of premonitions.

"Yes. Perhaps Davina's mistaken what she calls evil for power. Celeste was certainly very powerful in her day, but she's been dead for over two hundred years. I don't understand. Why all these sketches now?"

"Why does any witch do anything?" Downstairs in the living room, Klaus, Elizabeth, and Elijah are making themselves drinks at the bar while they listen to Davina and Marcel fight. "Well, that's going well."

"Because of the rift you made." Elizabeth says.

"If you were trying to win the girl's trust, perhaps poisoning her one true love was not the most splendid idea."

"Oh. Are there any more inopportune deaths you'd like to wave in my face?"

"Give me a month. I'll get you list." Elizabeth giggles at Elijah's blatant sarcasm as he walks away. "Whatever. Young, old, dead, or alive, witches are a pain in the ass." 

"Davina!" Elizabeth and Klaus hear Marcel scream. When they go upstairs, she's vomiting soil all over her bed. "What the...?" Elizabeth exclaims.

"Bloody hell?" Klaus finishes. Suddenly, there's an earthquake caused by Davina. "Davina!" Elizabeth tries to walk her way as they can see Rebekah and Hayley run inside. Suddenly, it stops. Rebekah rushes into Davina's room. "Hey. What kind of game do you think you're playing? I said disrupt the household, not destroy the whole city."

"I didn't do it. Not on purpose. I-- I don't know what's wrong with me." Elizabeth, Marcel, and Klaus go downstairs. "This is madness. How can a 16-year-old girl shake the entire French quarter?" Klaus asks.

"I've seen her rock the church, but I've never seen anything like this." Marcel adds.

"This was a full on earthquake. Because of anger." Elizabeth turns to her father.

"How did you control her when she was in the attic?" He asks both Elizabeth and Marcel.

"I didn't have to. But then, I never killed her boyfriend."

"Yes, yes. We've been over this part already. The point is in her present state she's useless as a tool against the witches."

"She's not a tool."

"Something's wrong with her."

"She has too much power that she cannot control. That much we already knew. But why is it manifesting itself in such an aggressive manner?" Elijah asks before walking away leaving everyone confused. "Okay?" Elizabeth says as they stand there.

"Where are you going?" Klaus asks his brother.

"This is witch business. Let's ask a witch."
