Allure of Darkness ↠ Klaus Mikaelson [3]

CHAPTER TWENTY SIX

"Sudden moves make me jumpy and homicidal."

IN the cemetery Sabine/Celeste guided some tourists.

"Each tomb is well cared for. Families honor their dead with display of affection and respect."

Trapped inside her tomb, Monique called out, but the group outside didn't hear her. "Is someone there?" She banged on the ceiling of the tomb.

"This place belongs to the Deveraux family, known throughout the Quarter for their strong connection to witchcraft." Celeste/Sabine continued to explain, ignoring the small noises coming from the tomb.

"Please help me!" Monique yelled, beginning to panic. Her heart was beating frantically and she couldn't breathe.

"And if you look close, these fresh bricks tell us someone in the family has recently fallen."

Monique screamed. The tourists look disturbed by the noise.

In the next moment, Monique bursted out of the wall of bricks and tumbled out of the tomb. The tourists are frightened, though some of them take photographs. Celeste/Sabine bent down to Monique and looked at her creepily. "Hello, Monique. Welcome back to the land of the living."

ELIJAH crouched near Papa Tunde's corpse. Klaus and Marcel are standing beside him.

"Can I get you anything, brother?" Klaus asked, his voice sounded amused. "A magnifying glass, a pipe perhaps?" He smirked as he looked at his brother who was growing agitated at his remarks.

"You have a theory you'd like to share with us, Niklaus?" Elijah asked as he looked up at his brother, still crouching down by Papa Tunde.

"Back in the day, the witches wanted to send a threat, they just killed a chicken and leave it on your doorstep," Marcel explained as he looked down at the body and Elijah.

"It's rather a large and ominous chicken, wouldn't you say?" Elijah asked as he stood up. Marcel nodded his head a little, agreeing.

"Papa Tunde defeated Rebekah with ease, almost got the two of us as well." Klaus gestured between Marcel and him. "If he was supposed to be the prize fighter, why leave him for dead in our front yard?" Rebekah then showed up.

"Well, don't you look cheery," Rebekah commented as they all turned and looked at her. "Listen to this: A girl literally exploded from a grave today as Sabine was giving a tour of the city of the dead." She paused as she looked at Elijah. "It was Monique Deveraux."
