Walking through the streets of the quarter seemed so magical. I pause and watch as people dance around definitely unaware of the dangerous creatures that lurk in the shadows.

Me eyes wander to a couple dancing together seeming as if everyone around them disappeared and they were the only ones here in the moment looking into each other's eyes and looking deep into the other's soul. I smile remembering what it was like to feel that kind of love, the kind of love that fairytales were made of.

Feeling someone behind me I turn quickly ready for a fight. However to my surprise I find myself staring at the person I was waiting to see.

I turn back to look at the people dancing as Marcel comes to stand next to me.

"A week ago I was visited by a man and a woman. They said they were apart of an organization known as The Strix made up of ancient vampires. The man told me that they would like for me to join them but I refused. However the woman made it clear to me I didn't have a choice because she had her hand through my chest squeezing my heart in under a second." He stops and looks at me.

I stare back him expectantly waiting for him to continue."She took her hand out and told me that she knew I didn't care about dying but that if I didn't do what they wanted or answered their questions they would kill everyone I care about. Making it very clear that they knew who I cared about because another man came out with both Divina and Josh with his hands around their necks."

I stare at him as I see his face go through so many emotions until it settles on one," What I did tonight, they wanted it to happen and I hand no other choice. They also asked about you and what I knew about your magic, but I told the truth I didn't know how you're magic works still since you're a vampire." He finishes.

"You should've went to Klaus or Elijah when they first made contact with you." I say," Or at least told me when I arrived. But why are you telling me now? What's happened?" I ask knowing there has to be something more.

He contemplates for a second before answering. "Tonight I had one of my men follow them to the house they've been staying at on the outskirts of the Quarter. He said he saw a truck and that two coffins were being unloaded. He said that there was a woman that seemed to be the one in charge and she apparently didn't look like good news. I'm telling you this now because whatever or whoever are in those coffins can't be a good thing." 

I sigh not knowing what to make of the coffins. "The Strix are made up of an original bloodline more specifically Eli-"

"Mine" I turn to see Elijah standing there in a fresh suit, looking like he didn't just get staked less than an hour ago.

"Elijah how are you feeling?" I ask searching for any side affect of the stake being laced to magic even tho I had already checked.

"I'm well Nathaniel, now why are you guys discussing The Strix." Elijah demands. No doubt curious why we are speaking about his failed prodigies.

As I'm about to answer, from the corner of my eye I see a man in an all black suit watching us. I scan the crowd of dancing people and see about 10 men in suits looking directly at us. I actually recognize some to be vampires I knew from past travels and from what I remember weren't too fond of the original family.

"I can answer that Elijah." Says a voice that resembles Elijah's patriarchal tone.

Elijah turns around and there standing behind him is the one and only Tristan Du Martel.
