Klaus' Daughter is a Lockwood?

Big Decisions, Family Histories, Burning Bodies & Forgiveness

LAFAYETTE CEMETERY

Cami is at her twin brother Sean's grave, scrubbing graffiti off of his headstone, when Father Kieran finds her. "I was on my way home. Saw you duck in here. I knew exactly where you'd be." Cami sighs. "It's getting old. It's the second time this week." Kieran clears his throat. "Third. I cleaned it off the day before yesterday." Cami groans in frustration. "It's pointless. I just do it again." Kieran tried to reason with her. "Folks need time to heal. Sean killed innocent people. No one's getting over that any time soon." Cami looks down; obviously troubled. "I think... I think I'm losing it like he did. I found this in my pocket." She shows Kieran the paper with the elaborate symbol drawn on it. "The lines... it's a secret code Sean and I used to use when we were kids. I have no memory of drawing it. Something's not right, I just can't figure it out." Kieran puts his arm out to her. "Come here." He steps toward her and gives her a tight hug. "Maybe... you should leave town for a while. Give your head some space. I know your dean. You could put your thesis on hold." Cami shakes her head. "I can't. This means something. I just don't know what." Cami looks up at Father Kieran with tears in her eyes. He smiles slightly. "Not everything has meaning. Sometimes you just have to let go. You should leave New Orleans. This town isn't for everybody. Please."

THE BAYOU

It's dark now, and Hayley and Eve are sitting outside by a campfire. "I'm sure you got questions." Eve said. Hayley smiled. "Only a thousands of them. Like who are you? Why are you following me? Where the hell is everyone? And, if the people in this book really are my family, what happened to them?" Eve stood up and approached Hayley. "I'm Eve. I'm following you because you brought an Original to Werewolf Country, which is pretty much the same reason why everybody else skedaddled. If you wanna know what happened to the people in that family tree, I'll sum it up nice and quick: Marcel happened." Hayley tilted her head with her eyebrows knitted. "What did he do?" Eve frowned. "He killed most of them. Later, the descendants of the ones who dodged death, he strong-armed a witch into putting a curse on them." Hayley looked at her skeptically. "What kind of curse?" Eve hesitated. "Swap nature around, inside out. Made it so their natural state is wolves. They only turn back human on the full moon. We're hunted by the marks we carry. That crescent moon birthmark... that's why I got rid of mine. I didn't wanna get found up." Suddenly, Elijah appears in front of the shack. "Good evening. Think I might have something which belongs to you." He hands her the stake she used to stab him earlier. Hayley walked up to him. "Elijah, I've got this. Are you okay?" Elijah looked himself over. "The wound is healed, the fever is broken, but for some strange reason I have this sharp and lingering sensation in my back." Hayley turned back to Eve. "I have to get him home. But I'll be back, okay? I need to know more." Eve nodded. "Keep that mark covered up." Eve leaves Hayley and Elijah and heads back into the encampments. "What happened?" Elijah asked. "I just met part of my family." Hayley said smiling.

THE ABATTOIR

The bodies of the vampires who died in battle have been covered in white shrouds and placed on the stone floor of a room off of the courtyard. Diego and several others pour vodka and bourbon over the bodies before taking swings out of the bottle. On the balcony, Marcel is watching them work when Klaus joins him as Nicole looks on. "Looking at what you've wrought?" Klaus asks. "Look, if you're gonna kill me, let's get this over with." Marcel said keeping his eyes on his vamps bodies. Nicole sees the heartbreak on Marcel's features. Klaus turns to him with no emotions no his face. "Why would I kill you? You picked up the coin. There are rules of engagement in battle, Marcel. Without them, you'd have anarchy." Nicole walks over and stands next to her father. "I would, however, like to talk about accommodations. Your living quarters, for example. I believe they used to be mine." Nicole went wide eyed at her father. "Dad, you can't ask that of Marcel..." Marcel cut her off. "You own this. Fine. It's yours. You can put me back on the street for all I care. But let's make one thing clear-- You will never have this: loyalty. You can't buy it, you can't own it, you can't force it. It comes only out of love and respect for the people who believe in you. You taught me many things, Niklaus Mikaelson, but this I learned myself. And it is something that you will never know. Enjoy your kingdom." Marcel leaves Klaus alone on the balcony to watch as Diego lights a lighter and drops it on the bodies. Nicole chases after Marcel.

She follows him outside. "Marcel! Please!" He stopped and turned to her. "I'm sorry okay! I'm sorry I lied but I had to. If the witches knew who and what I really was they would've used me as leverage to bring down you and Klaus. I didn't want either of you to get hurt." Marcel saw that she was telling the truth. "I made a deal with you Nicole. I swore to protect you. I don't break my promises." Nicole chuckled. "Would you have made that deal if you knew I was half wolf?" He raised his head and couldn't answer her. Nicole bit her lip. "I didn't think so..." Marcel looked down at the ground trying to avoid eye contact. "I understand why you and Rebekah did what you did but I can't forgive you for it. What you two did... What she did to her own flesh and blood; knowing he just found me and has another child on the way. It's a sin against nature." Marcel sighed. "We just wanted to be together." Nicole nods. "I know that. You should've just asked Klaus instead of sneaking around. He knew you were together since Rebekah came back to town." Marcel looked shocked Klaus knew. "Look, I want to remain friends; I can see what a good man you are Marcel. I don't want to be your enemy." Marcel nodded. "Our deal still stands then?" Nicole asked. Marcel looked at her and smiled. He surprisingly pulled her into a hug. "Our deal stands." Nicole pulled out of the hug. "Thank you." With that Marcel walked away.
