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

Chapter 15

Noah's POV

I'm at the newly- returned Mikaelson Compound, since Klaus took over and he decided to throw a dinner in celebration of his takeover. Klaus is sitting at the end of the diner table, while Theo and I are sitting next to him on either side of the table. Klaus calls for everyone's attention by tapping his glass with a fork "Let us begin with a toast to our shared gift: immortality. After a thousand years, one might expect life to be less keenly felt, for its beauties and its sorrows do diminish with time. But, as vampires, we feel more deeply than human could possibly imagine." Klaus says.

Klaus gestures for waiters and waitresses to stand by everyone at the dinner table "Insatiable need, exquisite pain..." Klaus says as the waiters and waitresses slit their wrists filling everyone's glasses with their blood, I feel veins appear under my eyes. I glance at Klaus, who's smirking at my vamped-out appearance "Our victories, and our defeats." He says, looking at Marcel. A vampire at the table raises his glass "To New Orleans." He says "To New Orleans!" Klaus says "New Orleans." Everyone at the table says, I just raise my glass and drink.

I'm reading in the courtyard when I hear Marcel and Klaus walk in "The humans have called a meeting. They're not exactly thrilled with the new status quo." Marcel says "How unfortunate for them." Klaus says sarcastically "Look, it's your show now. But, you wanna know how I built? Politics. A little diplomacy goes a long way, especially with the human faction." Marcel says.

"Duly noted." Klaus says as he looks at an old photo "I haven't thought about this night in ages." Klaus says, he glances at me with sorrowful look on his face "1919, The Opera House, just before it burned. This was the end of an era." Klaus says, I stiffened at the mention of 1919. That was when I died for the second time of my life "And there's Davina. She's a powerful weapon. At this point, I'd like to keep her close. I think we should have her move in to the compound here with us." Klaus says.

I stop reading and walk over to them "Davina's not a weapon." I say heatedly. Klaus glares at me just as hard "Something you want say?" He asks "I will not let you use Davina like some toy." I say, Klaus smirks "Are you offering witch talents to help me?" Klaus asks amused. I swallow a lump in my throat, why does it feel like I'm about to make a deal with the devil "Yes." I say reluctantly.

An hour later I go to St. Anne's Church with Marcel and Klaus, we to go the attic to see Davina to tell her that she's moving "Was this his idea?" Davina asks Marcel "Davina, please. I understand you're devoted to Marcel, but Marcel is devoted to me. I assume you'll want what's best for all of us. We have a meeting downstairs." Klaus says then leaves "I'll get someone to pick up your things. We'll get you settled in right. Trust me." Marcel says then leaves.

I stay behind, there's tense silence in the attic then I feel Davina's glare. I look at her "So what, you're doing Klaus' bidding too?" Davina asks slightly angry, I clear my throat "I guess so." I say. She turns her back to me in anger "I'll see you later, I guess." I mumble, not sure if she heard me then I leave.

The next day, I'm awoken by two presences by my bed. I open one and see Klaus and Theo by my bed, I groan and turn back them "Henrik, get up. Davina is missing." Klaus says as he kicks my bed. I shot right up "Davina's missing?" I ask "Yes, now get ready and meet me outside." Klaus answer then leaves, I lay back and sigh as I stare up at the ceiling. I feel Theo stare at me, I stare back "What?" I ask "Nothing, it's just nice to see you and Father getting along." Theo answers, I scoff at what he said then I get ready.

I'm in the street looking for Davina as The Casket Girls Festival is in full swing. I notice Rebekah and a vampire walking somewhere, I follow after them to the compound were Rebekah appears behind Marcel and stabs him in the back with an iron poker.

The boy who came with Rebekah appears "Josh, what are you doing? Get out of here." Davina says worried then Rebekah grabs Josh by the throat "What are you doing?" Josh asks frightened "Now, if I were Klaus, I would rip Josh's head from his neck, feed it to a nightwalker, and that would be the end of your friend, but hurting people is such a boyish thing to do, like how Klaus compelled your fiddler on the roof. And, while I am many things, I'm certainly not my brother. It's okay, Timothy. You can come down. No one is gonna hurt you." Rebekah says then Timothy jumps down and Rebekah catches him.

They all go to some underground basement, but I stay behind to survey the damage; Elijah laid out in his own blood, Klaus out cold with his neck snapped. Damn, Davina. They finally wake up and heal from their wounds, Elijah sighs "Well, isn't this monumentally awkward." He says, Klaus pulls out his phone to make a call "Rebekah, where are you?" Klaus ask on his phone.

I hear Rebekah over the phone with my vamp-hearing "I'm with Davina, and now she's dying because of your treachery." She says "Well, I tried to talk to her, out of respect for Marcel, but she made it quite clear that she is not our friend. My apologies if you thought she was yours." Klaus says, I glare at him as angry starts to build up inside of me "Just tell me how to cure her. Vampire blood isn't working?" Rebekah says "No. It wouldn't. You see, the poison I compelled Timothy to feed her is quite potent. It's just a matter of time for her." Klaus says "For both of them, you diabolical bastard. They're children. We could've dealt with her fairly." Rebekah says "There is no dealing with those who threaten us. Davina sealed her fate when she stood against me. That was her choice, not mine." Klaus says then hangs up.

Elijah and Marcel are angry and horrified by his actions but I'm pissed, beyond pissed, I'm furious. I vamp-speed towards Klaus catching him by surprise with a flurry of punches to his body and face. I throw another punch but Klaus catches it, I give him an aneurysm and I keep it on him until he falls to his knees in pain. I feel someone pulling me back, it's Elijah "Henrik! Please!" He says, Marcel stands in front as I'm being held back "Noah, calm down! Davina will be fine." He says, that stops me in my rage "What?" I say confused.

Marcel tells me that he predicted Klaus' behavior and had a witch put a protection spell on Davina, I let out sigh of relief. I feel Klaus' glare, I glare back "One step forward and two steps back." I say then I vamp-speed out the compound, just when I thought I could possibly get somewhere with Klaus, he just proves me wrong again.
