Casket Girls

Today was the Casket Girls festival thingy. I grab a white vintage wedding dress thing and put it on but got stuck.

"Would you like some help?" Nik asks walking up to the door with a smirk.

"You might need to use all your vampire strength." I joke with a smile.

"Allow me." He smiles and stands behind me and begins to fasten the zipper and buttons.

"Thanks. Not too many pregnant Casket Girls, I guess."  I exclaim looking at him and he rolls his eyes jokingly.

"I think you look lovely. Only I would..." Nik says touching the birthmark on my shoulder making me cover it with my hand.

"I know, keep the freaky werewolf birthmark covered." I joke with a smile and I turn around to face him and he puts his arms around my waist pulling me close.

"Well, I don't suspect any of the riff-raff here would dare lay a hand on you, knowing you're under the protection of my family. Still, you shouldn't take any chances." He smirks giving me a kiss on the head. I let go of him and look into the mirror sighing.

"All knocked up and nowhere to go." I sigh wishing I could go back to see Kol and Henrik.

"You know... if you wanted the attend the festivities tonight, I would be more than willing to take you." He tells me wrapping his arms around my waist.

"Hmm... you and Elijah are barely on speaking terms. Let's not rock the boat, okay?" I joke around and shake my head.

"Of course." He smiles and goes to leave.

"Nik, do you mind?"I ask gesturing to the zipper once again. He smirks and walks over to me unzipping it and unbutton it. He slowly takes it off kissing my shoulder. He leaves and goes to check on Davina as I change into a white dress. I put on a pair of white flats and walk down the stairs to see Nik worried on the phone in the courtyard.

"A bit of an issue. It seems our little bird flew the coop." He says to the phoen obviously talking to Marcel. He hangs up and we meet up with Marcel in the living.

"You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to know the obvious. Our secret weapon has escaped." Nik exclaims slightly pissed off.

"She wouldn't just leave. She knows the witches want her back." I say rubbing his arm to calm him.Elijah appears from around the corner, and Marcel turns towards him.

"Her violin is missing. She may have left of her own volition." Elijah tells us and we look at each other.

"What did you say to her in the attic? She lied to my face so she could stay up there, thinking that you'd help her control her magic. How do we know you didn't take her?" Marcel gets mad at Elijah.

"I have no idea where Davina is, or why she ran away. Can I suggest you take a step back?" Elijah glares. Marcel eyes him for a moment before turning away.

"I can assure you I have absolutely no desire to see that child come into harm's way. She's suffered enough with this Harvest ritual nonsense." Elijah exclaims.

"That child, to whom you refer to so affectionately, is the most powerful witch in New Orleans. If she's fled, what's to stop her from destroying us? In fact, destroying all we've worked for? No, if she's not a friend to this family, then she is our enemy." Nik growls.

"She is a friend, Klaus." Marcel rolls his eyes.

"Well, let's hope so. Lucky for you, I know how to get her back. Follow my lead." Nik exclaims and he leaves.
Marcel is about to follow when Elijah stops him.
