Vampire Diaries (Aria Gilbert )

Crescent City

*At the Lafayette Cemetery, a loud heartbeat is heard inside the Deveaux tomb. Monique Deveraux opens her eyes and starts screaming for help when she realizes that she is trapped in her grave, though her voice is raspy and quiet from disuse*

*At St. Anne's Church, Father Kieran is holding the first mass since the massacre*
Kieran: Thank you all for coming. It means more than I can tell you. We gather today for the first public service of our newly reopened church. St. Anne's can finally once again be the heart of our community, where we can congregate as a people united. Here, this hour, we come together to praise God and give thanks. The events that took place at our church were tragic.(Kieran continues his sermon while Klaus,Aria and Marcel, who are sitting next to each other in the pew, start to talk quietly. Marcel sees a red-haired woman he recognizes across the church, but he can't get a proper look at her)
Klaus: Problem?
Marcel: No.
Klaus: Then pay attention. We're meant to seem like devoted parishioners.
Kieran: (still speaking) ...and it is that hope in our hearts, and with the help of many benefactors, that allows us to be here today. So, we gather with renewed spirit, made stronger, committed to the ideals of peace and love. Amen. (While Kieran speaks, the newly-resurrected Bastianna enters the church and watches from the back)
Church Attendants:Amen.

*In the cemetery, Celeste (possessing Sabine's body) leads her tour guide through the rows of tombs*
Celeste: Each tomb is well cared for. Families honor their dead with display of affection and respect.(Still trapped inside her grave, Monique calls out for help, but the group outside doesn't hear her)
Monique: Is someone there?
Celeste: This place belongs to the Deveraux family, known throughout the Quarter for their strong connection to witchcraft.
Monique: Please help me!
Celeste: And, if you look close, these fresh bricks tell us someone in the family has recently fallen.(Desperate, Monique screams. The tourists look disturbed by the noise. Suddenly, Monique uses her magic to blast the wall of bricks out of the way, causing her to tumble out of the tomb. The tourists are frightened, though some begin taking pictures with their cameras. Celeste seems unperturbed by this revelation, though, and simply crouches down to smile at her)
Celeste: Hello, Monique. Welcome back to the land of the living.

*Lafayette Cemetery,After the break, more tourists are taking pictures of Monique's empty grave. Sophie enters the cemetery, both confused and horrified when she sees the state of her family's tomb. However, when she runs inside the crypt, she finds Celeste and Monique waiting for her*
Sophie: What is it? What's going on?
Celeste: (smiles) It's a miracle. (When Sophie sees Monique, she gasps, unable to believe what she is seeing)
Sophie: Monique? You're alive!(Sophie rushes over to her niece and gives her a big hug. Sophie is thrilled to see her, but Monique seems less enthusiastic)

*St.Anne's Church,After the mass, the parishioners leave the church. Kieran at the entrance to meet with the attendees personally when Klaus,Aria and Marcel approach him*
Klaus: Lovely sermon this morning, Father. Quite inspirational.
Kieran: I wasn't expecting you to join us.
Klaus: Oh, we were hoping for some word from your human sources on the recent Haitian invasion.
Kieran: My guys have their ears on the ground, and no one has seen any sign of whatever his name is.
Marcel:He is called Papa Tunde. And right now, someone has his body which still has some pretty strong power, so you might wanna put your ear a little closer to the ground.
Aria: What they both mean is that we do appreciate all your efforts and would like it if you continue to search.
Kieran: I do want what I can but I would rather steer clear of whatever war is brewing between your kind and his, before I find myself–(He's cut off when Cami appears and starts to shake Kieran's hand, pretending as though they're strangers)
Cami: I wanted to congratulate you on getting the church up running. I can see this is a bad time. Nice to see you, Marcel and Aria.(She pointedly ignores Klaus and leaves)
Kieran:(gives Klaus a hard look before calling after her)Cami!
Klaus:(scoffs)Well, don't look at me. I tried to send her away. (Klaus' phone rings, and he steps away to answer it)Yes, Diego? What do you have for me?
Diego: (alarmed) Uh, we got a special delivery.
Klaus: Would you care to elaborate?
