I Was Feeling Heroic • Elijah Mikaelson [3]

"Jackson and I are leaving town with Hope and the Mikaelsons, I can't risk keeping them in town, not with Marcel and with everyone wanting them dead," Hayley says over the line.

"I understand, no need to explain to me," Alex says, she rubs her hand over her neck touching the wound Marcel had given her, it would only take a couple of hours before she would be dead, and then another couple of days before she would be alive again. "Hopefully I can keep Klaus safe, and alive, you, however, just focus on finding a cure."

"All right," Hayley says.

"Oh, and if anyone and I do mean anyone, give you any kind of trouble, give me a call," Alex says.

"I will," Hayley says. "Stay safe, and keep me updated on everything."

"Don't worry about me," Alex says, a smirk tugged at the corner of her lips. "I'll keep New Orleans on their toes."

Alex walks into the compound seeing an absolute mess inside the building, Marcel stood in the middle of the courtyard while Klaus laid on the ground, clearly in agonizing pain.

"Well, clearly I missed a very hectic party," Alex says, Marcel turns around to look at Alex. "Too bad I'm just a little late." Marcel takes a step towards her.

"You should be dead," Marcel states, A faint smile appears on Alex's lips as she softly chuckles.

"Like I've told Lucien, I have been for a while now," Alex says. "But I'm sure you meant due to his bite." Marcel glares at her. "I'm immune to your venom, I mean, yeah sure, I do die when it enters my bloodstream." Alex puts air quotes around the word 'die'. "I'm unconscious for a day or two, but then." Alex takes a step closer. "I'm back for one thing only."

"And what's that?" Marcel asks, his glare not easing.

"Revenge," Alex says. "How do you think Lucien died? Did you think they managed to use Davina's spirit as power?" Marcel growls at her. "No, they couldn't, because I saved her."

"If you saved her, then where is she?" Marcel hisses out.

"Locked away safely, until she is needed," Alex says, Marcel growls at her. "Oh don't fucking growl at me, that wasn't my choice, I would've brought her back, but do you know how annoying it is when an army of angels shouts in your ear to keep her soul alive, so they can come and take it?"

"You're lying," Marcel says.

"Yeah, totally, a hybrid connected to the light and dark is lying about angels screaming in her ear," Alex says, her expression showing how annoyed she was with him as she narrowed her eyes.

"I swear I'll find a way to kill you," Marcel says, his fangs grew as dark veins sprout over his face, he was preparing to attack her, Alex raises her left hand into his view and Jackson's old heart appears in her head.

"Ah, ah, ah, I wouldn't do that if I were you," Alex says.

"What's that?" Marcel asks, he wanted to nothing more than attack her, but he needed to be sure he wasn't in danger first.
