Noah's POV

It's been a day since I assaulted Klaus, I guess I'm glad that Elijah pulled me away before things went too far. Anyway, I created a new barrier spell over the house because I'm worried... more like afraid that Klaus will retaliate for what I did to him. I hear a knock at the front door, I open the door, it's Klaus I step back a bit. He tries to come in but he's stopped by my spell, he's perplexed "I thought I was already invited in?" He asks "Yeah, well, after yesterday, I took precautions. I was afraid of what you would do." I say honestly, swallowing a lump in throat.

Klaus smirks "Afraid? Why would you be afraid? You're a powerful hybrid like me, you shouldn't have to fear anybody." He says, I scoff "As for why I'm here. Davina has gotten violently ill and I want you and Theo to figure out what's wrong with her." Klaus says, I grow concerned.

Against my better judgement I went with Klaus to the compound, he told me that Elijah went to see Sophie to ask about what's wrong with Davina and that Theo is already at the compound. We get to the compound when it starts to shake violently, everyone is alarmed including myself "Was that Davina?" Sophie asks as she enters the compound with Elijah "Charming little habit she's developed." Klaus says "And the earthquake I felt today?" She asks "Also Davina. And, she's taken to vomiting dirt." Rebekah says.

Sophie has a panicked look on her face "Oh. We have a huge problem. I thought we had more time, but we need to complete the Harvest now." She says, I give her a look "Said the desperate witch, conveniently." Klaus says sarcastically "I'm serious! That earthquake you just felt is a preview of the disaster movie that is about to hit us." Sophie says "Why should we believe you?" Elijah says. Sophie tells us that one person isn't meant to hold on to all the Harvest magic, it's tearing Davina apart and it will take the city down with us.

I'm sitting in the study with Theo and I'm panicking a little "Theo, there has to be another way to save Davina?" I ask "I don't see any other way, besides from what Sophie told us once the girls are sacrificed they come back to life." Theo says, I scoff "Yeah, well I don't trust her." I say.

Theo sighs "Now, you're starting to sound like Father and Uncle Elijah, don't let fear and paranoia cloud your judgement." He says. I give him a look "What, are you telling me you trust her?" I ask "No, of course not, but I believe her." Theo answers, I'm surprised by his answer "Why?" I ask. Theo stares at me for a moment "Have I taught you nothing, Uncle? All the rituals and traditions of witch culture I've told you about." Theo says a little irritated "But I—" I say "Uncle, I know you're a vampire now but you're still a witch and as a witch our power is based on belief and emotion. I'm not saying trust everything you hear, I'm saying believe in the impossible. You're a witch, embrace it." Theo says, I nod.

So, we all decide to complete the Harvest with some reservations, but Marcel wasn't having it, he took Davina somewhere we wouldn't find her and I don't blame him. Elijah calls us over to the compound to tell us he couldn't consecrate his dead lover's bones, but he has another idea, which I think is insane "It's taken one thousand years, but you've finally gone mad. Our mother?" Rebekah says, yes you heard right, Elijah wants to consecrate Esther.

"Yes, our beloved Mother, who Niklaus has put affectionately in a coffin in his basement—not daggered, but quite dead." Elijah says "Well, she did try to kill us all." Klaus says, maybe you guys but not me, but I still don't like this. I have a feeling that this will come back on us someday "Well, I say we put her to use and put her to rest once and for all. Now if we bury our Mother on land owned by one of her descendants, she becomes a New Orleans witch, and we, as her family share in that ancestral magic." Elijah says as he looks at Theo and I.

I look to Theo, who's just observing "We're vampires, Elijah. We can't practice magic, except for Theo and Henrik. Or own property, for that matter." Rebekah says "Yes. With regard to practicing magic..." Elijah says as he turns toward us. Theo chuckles "I'm sorry, Uncle but I have to put my foot down. There is no way Henrik and I are going to tether our magic to New Orleans witches." He says. Elijah gives him a look "Son, surely—" Klaus says trying to reason with him "No, Father. I'm sorry, but you can give it to another witch for all I care. I'm sure Elijah has someone lined up." Theo says, look towards Elijah.

"Niklaus, it's fine. He's right, I do have a plan b. And as for owning property, not all of our Mother's descendants are dead..." Elijah says "The Baby." Klaus says surprised "The baby. The parish tax assessor's office is just steps outside the Quarter. Hayley now holds the title to the plantation. So, if we bury our Mother there, and we consecrate those grounds, we can finish the Harvest Ritual." Elijah says.

Klaus smirks "You're a bit of a mad genius, Elijah. Count me in." He says to Elijah "Am I the only one thinking? Our mother was the most powerful witch in history. If we bury her, we hand that power to our enemies to use against us." Rebekah says "Given our circumstances, I hardly see that we have a choice, Rebekah." Elijah says.

Rebekah sighs in frustration "I don't know why I bother. You two will just do what you want anyway." Rebekah says "No. Our decision must be unanimous." Elijah says "This is not a democracy." Klaus says "You're quite right. This is family." Elijah states, then we all hear the sound of a powerful rain storm beginning "Water. The next sign's begun. Rebekah?" Elijah says "Kill a demon today, face the devil tomorrow. Count me in." Rebekah says. Klaus smirks then look to Theo he nods then he looks to me and I sigh "Fine." I say "Well, this is no family reunion without our Mother. I'll fetch her." Klaus says.

We're at the plantation house getting ready to consecrate Esther, Rebekah arrives to join us "Did you find them? Will he bring her?" Klaus asks her "He'll bring her." Rebekah answers solemnly "Are you ready?" The Priest asks "Always and forever." Klaus says. We all cut our hand with a dagger and drip our blood over Esther's grave then The Priest throws the knife into the grave "It's done." He says.

Now we're all at The Lafayette Cemetery where Sophie is performing The Harvest, but nothing happened. Sophie begs and pleads but still nothing happens and now Davina is dead, a single tear falls down my face then I vamp-speed out of the cemetery.

I waited at home for Theo to come back, the second he entered I magically hurled objects at him, he dodges of course "You said it would work!" I shout angrily "It did work, something went wrong." Theo says. I give him a look "What?" I ask stunned "Something went wrong, I felt it. Didn't you?" He asks. I thought about it for a second and I did feel Davina's magic leave her then nothing, where did all that power go? It didn't just up and leave.

The next day, Theo and I have been doing locator spells to find anything resembling the harvest energy but we've come up with nothing. Theo's phone chimes, he looks at his phone "Hmm, seems Father needs our help." Theo says, great what does he need now.

We get to Rousseau's, we hear a commotion inside, Klaus is in a struggle with some male witch. Theo magically moves him away from Klaus then I vamp-speed towards him in an attempt to knock him out. I go to punch him but he catches my punch then he tries to stab me with his bone blade. He seems to be stronger than the average witch as I struggle to stop him from stabbing me, I have no choice, I start to siphon whatever magic is making him so powerful but then it seemed like whatever magic he had, left him quicker than I could siphon.

He's weakened, so I give him a good punch to his face knocking him out. Klaus stares at me for a second then he rushes towards Marcel to check on him, he'll probably need blood to heal. Theo goes with Klaus and I go back home, I hear a knock at the front door I open it, it's Klaus. I sigh "What do you want?" I ask "That ability you displayed earlier today, what was that?" Klaus asks back.

I guess the cat is out of the bag, I sigh "I thought Theo would've told you." I say "I did ask him and he told me to ask you." Klaus asks. I scoff, thanks Theo, I explain my siphon ability to him and now he seems to be lost in thought "When did you discover this ability to him and now he seems to be lost in thought "When did you discover ability?" Klaus asks then I tell him about the fight I had with Damon. Klaus smirks "You bested Damon?" He asks, I nod "I wonder..." He says, lost in thought again then walks away without saying bye, that was weird.
