Chapter 14
It's our city

Elijah crouches down to examine Papa Tunde's corpse, while Marcel and Klaus stand beside him and watch. Klaus sarcastically replied "Can I get you anything, brother? A magnifying glass? A pipe, perhaps?" "You have a theory you'd like to share with us, Niklaus?" Elijah shot back to his younger brother "Back in the day, the witches wanted to send a threat, they'd just kill a chicken and leave it on your doorstep." Marcel remembered "It's rather a large and ominous chicken, wouldn't you say?" He asked the 'kings' of New Orleans "Papa Tunde defeated Rebekah with ease, almost got the two of us as well. If he was supposed to be the prize fighter, why leave him for dead in our front yard?" Klaus asked the big question

Rebekah arrives and joins boy clubs "Well, don't you look cheery. Listen to this-- A girl literally exploded from a grave today as Sabine was giving a tour of the city of the dead. It was Monique Deveraux." The blonde gossiped leaving the three vampires stunned "What?" He asked
"The tourists thought it was part of the show, but the witches are celebrating like it's some kind of bloody miracle." She laughed "Maybe it is. They think that all hope is lost, but now suddenly a Harvest girl is resurrected. This is how we're gonna get Davina back-– kill the witch who took her place." Marcel figured out.

Bethan returns back home "I have a theory about who one of them could be. Celeste. I mean, it's got to be. Davina was trying to tell us, she was drawing pictures of Celeste. She was warning us that a great evil is coming." Bethan Told them all "First, Papa Tunde returns to settle old scores, now your murdered lover is back. This isn't witches attacking vampires. They're declaring war on us." Klaus tells all "who's shocking return should we expect next? Your mother? Katherine Pierce?" Bethan asked "who Katherine?" Marcel asked the teen "Katerina Patrova, my sister doppelgänger" Bethan turns to klaus "did you teach him anything?" She asked causing an eyeroll from the hybrid.

In the study, Rebekah and Elijah are talking. Rebekah goes to the bar and pours herself a drink "It's not too early for scotch, is it, with all the witchy shenanigans and subterfuge afoot?" She asked her elder brother "It is entirely too early if one intends to drive, yes." Rebekah sarcastically laughed "Funny, I don't have any plans to go anywhere." "She's not safe here her or Hayley. You have to take Bethan to the plantation house until this is over." Elijah told his sister

"Are you worried about Bethan, or whether or not you can trust me?" Rebekah judged "It's precisely because I trust you that I'm asking you to do this." This baby was the most important thing to the Mikaelson brothers
"Here's a novel idea-- why don't you let Beth and Hayley decide for themselves? Why are you dictating their fate?" She asked "You know why." That was directed more towards the Hayley question "Then perhaps you should take her yourself" The blonde vampire stated "Well, then that would make me the very hypocrite you've accused me of being. Rebekah, I cannot legislate my feelings. My actions, however... So, would you kindly do this for me?" Elijah practically begged. Rebekah rolled her eyes giving in "You know the mama wolf loves to be told what to do. She's not gonna like it. But I will do it for you, if only to end this silly quarrel between the two of us." And Elijah smiled at her
