The Curse of Love (The Hybrid and The Wolf - Book 4)

Chapter 7 - Out of the Easy

After the revelation of what happened to Rebekah, we all went to the attic of St Louis Cathedral where Freya was preparing a spell to locate her.

"So, where's Klaus?" I asked. "When I told him about Rebekah, he said he'd pursue another lead."

Elijah cut his palm with a knife so that he could bleed into a bronze bowl, Freya needed his blood to help locate Rebekah and then he grabbed out a handkerchief to clean his hand.

"Forget Niklaus," Elijah said as he handed to bowl to Freya and addressed his sister. "You will find her."

"Are you sure you got enough ju-ju for a worldwide locator spell?" Marcel asked.

"She's my family," Freya replied, determined. "I won't lose her."

She then took a deep breath and ran her hands around the bowl as she chanted.

"Le six se strui no cruv. Le six se strui no cruv."

She poured the blood onto the map in front of her, still chanting, she poured it on top of Africa because that's the last place Rebekah was before she was ambushed. Freya passed the bowl to Elijah and we waited to see if the spell worked, the blood expanded until the entire map was covered.

"Damn it."

"Well, so much for witch-GPS," I said.

"I assumed they'd cloaked her, I didn't expect a spell this strong."

"No doubt conjured by the very witch who lured Rebekah into this trap," Elijah surmised.

"You should all go," Freya sat down. "I have my work cut out for me."

"The Strix trust me," Marcel said. "If they know where Rebekah is, I can find her."

"We don't have time," Elijah replied. "You need to stop Davina from activating Lucien and Tristan's weapon."

I had recently learned that Lucien and Tristan were working together to take down their sires.

"We need to find Rebekah."

"Marcel, I will not rest until my sister is found," Elijah said, impatiently.

"All right, fine. I'll handle Davina," Marcel then walked out.

"Well, in the meantime, please tell me that we're going to kill someone?" I asked Elijah.

"Oh, we're going to kill many someones," he replied to my delight. "But first, if we are to start a war, let us determine where allegiances lie."

Elijah then left as well.

~*~*~

Elijah had concocted a plan to turn Tristan and Lucien against each other, he had invited them over for Thanksgiving. I was planning on spending Thanksgiving with Jackson, but I wanted to help find Rebekah. So, here I was, telling my brother that my plans had changed.

I held Hope as I stood on one side of the threshold and he and Hayley stood on the other.

"Hey, you're early," he said as he greeted us.

I gave him a sympathetic look. "I'm really sorry about this."

"Sorry about what?" He furrowed his brows.

My gaze switched from him to Hayley.

"Hey, do you mind putting Hope down for a nap?" I asked.
