this song <3

roue dans la roue

Marie is looking out over the French Quarter from the nursery when she's suddenly startled by the sounds of tortured screaming. She frowns and returns inside, following the noise to Klaus' bedroom, where Klaus has blood splattered all over his hands and face and is washing up in his sink. "Oh. So, I see your interrogation went well?" Marie arches an eyebrow and leans against the door frame. 

Klaus looks at himself in the mirror while he washes up. "Eh, it turns out these witches are delicate creatures. No matter! I suspected my mother had Elijah captive."

"Great. Let's go find them!" Marie says determined, and enthusiastic. 

Klaus shakes his head no as he walks toward her to face her, cupping her face with his large palms, "Esther is too powerful. She won't be easily found. I need to draw her out."

He's about to shut the sliding doors that separate his room from the nursery when Marie stops him. "Wait, where are you going?"

" I'm going to change my shirt, and then I'm going to find my brother." He smiles patronizingly and is about to shut the doors again when Marie once again stops him. 

"Klaus, let me come with you!" Marie whines, annoyed, stomping her foot on the ground.

Klaus sighs deeply and walks toward her again. "I know you want to help, Marie, but you can't. My mother is wretched. She will target you in order to thwart me, and I can't very well save Elijah if I'm busy saving you, can I?"

Marie rolls her eyes, but remains silent, so Klaus finally shuts the doors and prepares his plans, leaving her to consider her options. 

Gia has just returned to Marcel's apartment, where Marcel is waiting for her. "I did like you said-- I kept a low profile, went all over the city. There's no sign of Elijah anywhere."

"Yeah, the humans I know said the same thing. Maybe Klaus is having better luck?" Marcel suggests, and turns to the door where a sullen Marie was being dragged by an enthusiastic Hayley.

"No, he's not, which sucks, considering how low the bar is around here." Hayley mutters, while Marie lets out an unamused snort.

Marcel and Gia look at her in confusion. "Listen, you two up for a rescue mission?"

" Are we going after Elijah?" Gia asked, excited.

"Nope. That's all Klaus. I'm talking about Oliver. Now, he and Elijah were fighting the werewolves together. I've heard that Oliver's been captured and is about to be executed. Now, look-- if we can save Oliver, then we might be able to find out where Elijah is." Hayley explains, while Marie shot up and stared Hayley down, with emotionless eyes.

"I'm not a bloody vampire SWAT personnel." Marie snaps.

"This is our best chance of finding Elijah, Marie, why don't you want to find him?" Hayley retorts, narrowing her eyes.
