Paranoia(Klaus Mikealson Fan-Fic)

Happiness is fake.

On the main street, Francesca is holding a press conference to cover up the events of the previous day or so. The street is packed with reporters and townspeople, as well as Oliver. Francesca notices Marcel walking among the crowd, and sends a signal to Oliver to follow him while she continues to speak.

"Today begins a new day in the Quarter. My family, long time residents of this great community, pledges to help every citizen recover from the terrible outbreak of gang violence that erupted on the streets of our city last night." Francesca beamed.

Oliver follows Marcel into the Jardin Gris voodoo shop as Francesca finishes her announcement.

"We will rebuild. We will remember those who have perished, as we seek to disinfect our town of its worst elements. We will work together to ensure that the heart of the Crescent City thrives again!" As she concludes her speech, after gesturing to the memorial wall.

In the voodoo shop..

Oliver opens the door to the shop, where Marcel is waiting for him.

Oliver closed the door behind him,"Last man standing, huh?"

Marcel shrugs at his slight insult,"I'm interested in making a deal."

"Don't look like you got much to offer." Oliver snaps back.

"I'm hearing word the Guerrera's want the Quarter to be a No -Vampire Zone. I can make that happen - in exchange for you leaving us alone across the river. Or, I can unleash hell on your new wolfpack." Marcel gestures.

Oliver gives him a deniable look and laughs,"And how can you do that?"

"Easy! I made my peace with Klaus. He cured me. So now, it's you versus us." Marcel smirked.

"Klaus is a warmonger. You think he's gonna choose to side with a pack of scrawny vamps, or an army of the new wolf breed that he created?" Oliver denied, quite confident.

"I'm thinking he's gonna side with us..." Marcel sighed, as Oliver scoffs,"Especially when he finds out that your pack killed his kid."

"What?" Oliver asked completely confused and serious.

Marcel gestured to the box on the counter.

"Open the box, and let me know what you think Klaus will believe about who's responsible for what you find inside of it." He says, he stops before his leaves in the doorway,"Cremation may be the best way to go, before Klaus smells it on you." Concluding his offer walking out of the shop.

He leaves Oliver alone in the shop, where he nervously approaches the box. When he looks inside, he winces, and his face goes pale.

Currently at the Compound...

"Did Marcel play his part?" Elijah asked his younger hybrid brother.

"He managed to locate a stillborn baby in a hospital in upstate Louisiana." Klaus answered with no emotion.

"I trust he agreed to the terms." Elijah stated.

"He has agreed to allow me to compel him to forget what he knows of my child. In exchange, he wants vials of my blood." Klaus answered.

"The witches will have to believe this. Soon, that fourth Harvest girl will resurrect. The coven will rebuild. If they sense that your child lives, they will hunt her." Elijah says worriedly.
