FIVE MONTHS BEFORE
OCTAVIA DALTON GOT off the train and looked around. She just arrived in New Orleans, she hadn't told her mother where she was going, so naturally she had forty seven missed calls and sixty three texts. She had only been gone nine hours. And three of those hours her mother was asleep.
The blonde girl made her way down the streets, she was going to live with an old friend of hers, well not necessarily a friend. She used to babysit Octavia, her name was Cami, she offered her a place to stay when she mentioned that she had run away from home. Cami didn't ask her why, which was wonderful. The seventeen year old girl glanced down at the address she had wrote down the previous day.
It was the address to Cami's apartment. Octavia continued to walk down the street her suitcase following close behind. She had to be careful, she could sense magic, lots of it. Not only from witches, but vampires. Once she got to her blonde friends apartment she knocked on the door twice.
From the inside Cami heard the knock and raced over, she hadn't seen Octavia in six years. So she was very excited when the young girl gave her a call and asked to stay with her, she needed it. Especially after what happened with Sean. The older blonde opened the door, Octavia stood on the other side.
A suitcase and two bags with her, she dropped one of the bags to give Cami a hug. The two hugged a while before they parted and Octavia entered the apartment.

PRESENT DAY
OCTAVIA WALKED DOWN the dark streets of the French Quarter. Over the past five months of staying with Cami things have been different. She ditched her phone and got a new one so her mother couldn't call her, she put a spell on herself so her mother couldn't locate her, she then found out that New Orleans was being run by vampires. One specific vampire, Marcel.
The blonde had an unfortunate run in with Marcel her first few days in the Quarter. She didn't realize that witches were forbidden from doing magic, so when she did some and then go caught, Marcel was called up. Fortunately, he didn't slaughter her and told her the rules, she thought it was ridiculous, but followed them to an extent. He never hurt her though, especially after he found out how powerful she was.
He even took her to see Davina and the two of them became close. He tried to keep her safe with Davina, afraid the witches could do something to her, but she refused to stay in a dusty old attic when she didn't have to. Instead she became Marcel's right hand women, he even set her up with a new apartment closer to where he lived.
