Reincarnation - Part Two || The Vampire Diaries/ The Originals

Chapter 9

Theo's POV

It's been two weeks since Uncle Henrik became a vampire, it seems he's handling it well and nothing has changed but his personality is different. I've noticed he's colder, reserved, and he doesn't talk to me as much anymore. I just hope, I don't lose him to vampirism like the rest of the family has. Even so, I will still protect him from the darkness that is our family.

Father has been working with Stefan and Caroline to stop Silas. I avoided that situation like the plague, I want nothing to do with Silas and if what they're saying is true I don't want him anywhere near my head or Uncle's head. Father has been calling me non-stop so I decide to visit him, I get Father's mansion and I see Father pacing in his living room then he sees me, approaches me and hands me a piece of paper "Read." Father told me sternly.

I read it, it was a letter from Katherine, apparently a witch is conspiring against my Father in New Orleans, I look up at my Father thinking why would he believe anything Katherine says "Okay?" I say, shrugging my shoulders.

Father stops pacing and glares heatedly at me "Is that all you have to say?" Klaus says calmly, I shrug my shoulders again "Witches are conspiring against me!" Klaus shouts "Yes, told to you in a letter by a woman who've been trying to kill for 500 years. Are you telling me you trust her words?" I ask calmly. Father thinks about it for a moment "Doesn't matter, I'm going to New Orleans and your coming with me." Father states, walking away. Great, I guess I'm going to New Orleans.

A tour guide is leading a group of people down the street "Welcome to the dark side of New Orleans, a supernatural playground where the living is easily lost, and the dead stick around to play." The Tour Guide said, Father and I are standing on a street corner observing.

In the French Quarter, we approach a woman's table, Father sits down while I stand "Good afternoon, time for one more?" Klaus asks smirking "I have nothing to say to you." The woman says, who I now realize is a witch. "Oh, now that's not very amiable, is it? You don't even know me." Klaus says amused "I know what you are. Half-vampire, half beast. You're the hybrid. And your son, the tribrid." The Witch said glancing at me then back at my Father.

Father smiles "I'm the original hybrid and my son is the original tribrid, actually, but those are stories for another time." Klaus said "I'm looking for someone—a witch. Perhaps you might be able to help me find her. Jane-Anne Deveraux." Klaus said, the witch reacts visibly to the name "Sorry. I don't know." The witch says lying.

Klaus leans close to the witch "Well, now that's a fib, isn't it?" Klaus asks as he takes the witch's hand on the table, smiling "Now, you see, I know that you're a true witch amongst this sea of posers, so enough with the fabrications. I've quite a temper." Klaus said. The witch withdraws her hand from Klaus "Witches don't talk out of school in The Quarter. The Vampire won't allow it. Those are the rules. I don't break Marcel's rules." The Witch tells us, Marcel? My Adoptive Brother, I thought he died like Father told me "Marcel's rules? Where do you suppose I might find Marcel?" Klaus asks.

We enter a bar where we see a young black male performing karaoke on stage, he's a vampire and Father seems very interested in the vampire in question, I have to admit he seems familiar. He seems to notice my Father and suddenly there's tension in the bar and most of the bar patrons near this vampire notice "Klaus." The Vampire said "Marcel." Klaus said, oh, so this my Little Brother, I haven't seen him since he was a kid, I wonder if he remembers me.

"Must be a hundred years since that nasty business with your Papa." Marcel said "Has it been that long?" Klaus asks, they start to slowly approach each other "The way I recall it, he ran you outta town. Left a trail of dead vampires in his wake." Marcel said "And yet how fortunate you managed to survive. My Father, I'm afraid, I recently incinerated to dust." Klaus says in an aggressive tone.

Everyone in the bar ready's themselves for s confrontation "Well, if I'd known you were coming back in town, if I had a heads-up—" Marcel said "What, Marcel? What would you have done?" Klaus asks coldly "I would've thrown you a damn parade." Marcel said as a smile breaks out on his face, my Father in return smiles and they embrace like long lost Brothers.

Marcel takes us to a private table and Father asks Marcel about Jane-Anne "You're looking for Jane-Anne? You probably should come with me. Ha-ha, showtime!" Marcel said excited, he takes us to the French Quarter were his vampire are jumping from rooftops, they're not very subtle about it but I guess that's what it's like in the Quarter.

A vampire brings a woman out, who I assume is Jane-Anne, Marcel interrogates her theatrically and tells her that using magic in The Quarter is punishable by death, he promises leniency but then he slashes her throat with a tree branch. Vulgar. Father and I aren't pleased, Father walks off to Marcel "What was that?" Klaus asks angrily "Hey. Come walk with me." Marcel said, I trail behind them "The witches aren't allowed to do magic here—she broke the rules." Marcel says, Father looks over at me "What about my witch friend over there, are you saying if he uses magic that you'll kill him?" Klaus questions glaring at Marcel.

Marcel looks at me I give him a blank stare then he looks back at My Father "Okay, your guy can be the exception, but he better not cause trouble for my guys." Marcel tells My Father. Sometime later Elijah finds Father and I, and takes us to a Cemetery "What are we doing here?" Klaus asks Elijah "You wanna know what the witches have in store for you? Follow me." Elijah states.

We enter one of the mausoleums "Sophie Deveraux. What is this?" Klaus asks "He's all yours. Proceed." Elijah said not answering Father's question, Sophie explains that witches can't perform magic, Marcel is out of control, and that she going to stop him and that My Father is going to help, My Father smiles, amused "This is why you brought me here?" Klaus asks "Hear her out." Elijah said "I don't need to hear her out. I assure you, love, there is not a thing on this earth that will matter enough for me to waste even thirty more seconds of my time. Elijah, what madness is this?" Klaus asks.

A young woman enters with other witches beside her "Klaus. You need to listen to them." The Woman says, My Father laughs "You're all out of your minds if you think some liquor-fueled, one-night stand- no offense, sweetheart – means a thing to me." Klaus says.

Sophie explains that she has a witch friend that can tell when a girl is pregnant, Father and I are shocked by this news "What?" Klaus asks still in shock "I know it's impossible..." The Girl says "What are you saying?" Klaus asks "Niklaus... the girl is carrying your child." Elijah answers "No. It's impossible. I was lucky with—" Father says looking at me "Vampires cannot procreate." Klaus states "But werewolves can. Magic made you a vampire, but you were born a werewolf. You're the Original Hybrid, the first of your kind, and this pregnancy is one of nature's loopholes." Sophie explains.

Father grows angry and accuses the pregnant girl of being with someone else but she wasn't because she's been held hostage by the witches, everyone starts arguing then Sophie threaten to harm the girl and the baby if my Father doesn't help, more arguing then my Father starts to leave "Niklaus! Listen." Elijah said, Father and I listen to the girl's stomach and we hear a rapid heartbeat.

Klaus looks coldly at Elijah "Kill her and the baby. What do I care?" Klaus said coldly "Father!" I shout angrily at him but he storms out not listening "No one touches the girl. I'll fix this." Elijah says leaving. I walk over to the pregnant girl "Hi, I'm Theo." I say to her, she looks up at me "You called Klaus your Dad?" she asks, I nod "Great, he already has a kid, so why would he want another?" she says with tears forming in her eyes.

I try to comfort her "Hey, hey, no. This is great, I always wanted another sibling. Even if Klaus won't care for it, I will. I promise." I tell her sincerely and she smiles a little "Hayley. My name is Hayley." She tells me and I smile. I can't believe there's going another addition to the family, I wonder if they'll be a Tribrid like me that would be wonderful.
