Chasing An Outcome

Chapter 7: Turmoil in the French Quarter

"Why haven't they called yet!?" Hayley said to no one in particular.

There was only so much waiting the wolf turned hybrid could take. Plus she was in no mood anymore to hear any apologizing from either Freya or Elijah. God where was that idiot Klaus when she needed him?

Her eyes went over to where Freya was attempting to break Rebekah's curse. Good; she missed her and could use some girl talk. What would Rebekah say about this situation? No doubt she'd agree with Klaus in opting to look for another way. Rebekah had a soft spot for Davina due to both Kol and Marcel loving her, both in their own way of course.

Her phone ringing cut any further thinking. The sound also alerted the other two present.

"What the hell Klaus?" She purposely yelled into the phone. Who cares if it irritated him? It was his fault for making her worry so much. "You freaking wait this long to call me back!?"

"I believe you should save the lover's spat for Elijah."

"Shut up," She groaned, rolling her eyes. "Are you and Kol alright? Did you find Davina?"

"It's a very long story so sit back."

Thankfully she already was seated. When she noticed Freya stepped closer she put the phone on speaker. Not everyone was a vampire after all. "Spill."

"Davina was brought back by Vincent. The ancestors didn't kill her."

"Thank God," Hayley breathed out. "How did Davina manage to survive in there surrounded by all those witches?"

"Getting there love," He answered, not pleased about being cut off. "When Kol and I found her she'd been in the process of wrapping up a spell, with the help of Vincent. Apparently it was a spell used to bring someone back from that accursed place."

"What?"

"Yes, I shared your shock then too. But Kol recognized the spell. The man they brought back is called Nathan. He is the one whom kept Davina hidden while she was there, as well as the one that saved her. This is where it gets interesting. I hope you are still seated."

"Would you get on with it?"

"No need to be testy. I assure you you'll thank me after I tell you this next bit. This man, Nathan, seems to be Davina Claire's birth father."

Had Hayley not been seated she was sure she'd be doing a double take. "Her... Are you- Are you serious? How is that possible?"

"Once more, I too shared your shock. But it's apparently true."

"Where is she? Is she there? Put her on Klaus."

"If she were I would. But she's gone on some wondrous adventure to take down both that scum Lucien and those incessant ancestors."

"How could you just let her go!?" She snapped.

"Didn't have much of a choice with Marcellus breathing down my neck. He's under some stubborn agenda that only he can protect her and no one else."

Hayley scoffed. "Remind you of someone?"

He coughed awkwardly. "Getting back to the point, she isn't necessarily alone. Aside from Marcel, Vincent, and her newly acquired dad, are all tagging along with her."

"What exactly are they planning?"

"Conveniently I was able to overhear their entire plan. The idea is to rid New Orleans of the ancestors. Vincent has a dark object in his possession that can supposedly get the job done. Which will then make Lucien into the stable boy we all know and loathe, thus allowing him to be killed."
