......

Eight days, thirteen hours and thirty-two minutes.

That's how long it's been since the child I raised was killed. In these passed eight days I've killed 15 Strix members but haven't managed to come across Aya, Tristan or even that poor bastard Samuel.

Every time I close my eyes I can't help but see the images of Marcel's desiccated body lifeless and empty, I just wish-

"Nathaniel", I look up from my diary to see Elijah's sad eyes staring back at me.

"It's time." He says and walks back out of my room closing the door behind him.

I set my diary on my bed and stand up straightening out my suit. I walk slowly to my door but stop, feeling a familiar presence on the other side. I place my hand on the door knowing that Niklaus was on the other side. I haven't seen him in this pass week and I wasn't the only one hunting down Aya and Tristan. Where I have been tracking, getting information, and killing when I need to; there's been someone just going on a complete rampage and killing whatever Strix members were left in the city. And my best guess it was the person standing outside my door.

I slide my hand down from the door to the door knob and twist it open only to be facing nothing.

This has been happening off and on since the night of Marcel's death. But today he will have to face me because today is the going to be the hardest day of them all.

I walk out into the hallway and make my way to the stairs. Looking down, I couldn't imagine a more perfect setting for today. People were scattered about in white suits and dresses. I could see Elijah talking to Rebecka. And at the center of the compound Marcel was laid in the middle wearing a white tux with daffodils outlining his body.

My breathe caught when I saw what he was holding in his hands. A small smile made its way my lips as I stared at the pocket watch I had gotten him when he was 13.

I looked around at the small crowd that was here to honor Marcel. My eyes land on Pierre. He's joined by a couple vampires from Marcels old faction. My gaze turns to Genevieve who is accompanied by a testy eyed Divena. I turn away to gather myself as the tears start to stream down my face.

I can only imagine what that poor girl is feeling. Having the only person who you considered family ripped away from you can break a person. I just hope she'll be alright. I turn back around to and wipe my face and pick my head up.

I exhale slowly and walk down the steps where I'm met by Elijah and Rebecca.

My eyes connect with Rebecca's and I see the tears streaming down her face.

"It's nice to see you Becka, I'm so sorry you couldn't be here," I say hugging her ," but at least you're here now."

She pulls away from our hug and wipes away her tears." No I'm sorry Nathaniel I know you loved him as much as I do, maybe even more, and we're gonna hunt down Aya and Tristan and make them pay but for now let's get you through this."

I feel someone come behind me and turn to see Klaus standing next to me.

"We're in this together my little witch." He says as he places his hand on my back leading the way to the center as the everyone parts for us to make our way through.

From witches to vampires and even Hayley and a couple of people from her pack were here. I could feel their empathy but there's something in the air that's making feel on guard. I glance around again for any unfamiliar faces but don't find any.
