Klaus' Daughter is a Lockwood?

Factions, Explosions, Anger & Werewolf territories

MIKAELSON COMPOUND

Klaus joins Marcel and Nicole at a table in the bar room, with a bottle of bourbon in hand. "I think it was far more gracious than they deserved." Marcel glares at Klaus, who begins pouring drinks. Nicole just gives her father a small smile and downs her drink. "You're disappointed by my lack of diplomacy. You out of all people should need no reminder of the human capacity for cruelty." Marcel remains silent. Klaus' phone buzzes, and he rises from the chair to answer it. "Hello?" It's the Sheriff. "Mr. Mikaelson. I just wanted to let you know that the faction's considered your terms. We've reached a decision." Klaus is amused. "Have you?"

Suddenly, an explosion is heard from outside, and large amounts of automatic gunfire pierces through the walls and windows of the compound, scattering broken glass all over the bar room. Some daywalkers are hurt by the gunfire, and many of the nightwalkers go up in flames when they're hit by the sunlight. Marcelputs himself over Nicole so she's not hit by the bullets. Someone screams. Marcel rolls a table in front of her as a shield and hurries to save one of the burning vampires from exposure, but both himself and Klaus are hit by machine gun shots. Marcel collapses and falls onto the floor in pain as Klaus covers him with his body, clearly furious. Nicole screams for Marcel and Klaus but cannot be heard because of the gunfire.

After the break, Klaus, Nicole and Marcel are alone in the compound's bar after the drive-by shooting. The room is now empty and the furniture's disarranged. The burned skeleton of a nightwalker lays near them. Klaus checks Nicole over. "Are you alright?" Nicole nods obviously traumatized by the events. Marcel is furious. "Dammit, dammit, dammit!" Nicole puts her hands on his shoulders whilst standing behind him. "Marcel calm down." He becomes so enraged that he flips a table before angrily pointing at Klaus. "NO! This is on you! Now that you're in charge, these are your guys laying dead. Your guys. You're gonna run this city, that better mean something to you, otherwise no one worth a damn is gonna follow you. No one!" Nicole knows Marcel is right. She looks around feeling guilty. Marcel glares at Klaus, but instead of being angry at him, Klaus merely smiles as Marcel turns away from him. "I was beginning to worry about you. I don't think I could've taken any more of this differential nonsense. I mean, clearly I underestimated the faction. That won't happen again. But, tell me-- now that we've arrived to this point, now that they have come into our home, visited this upon our people... How would you counsel me to respond?" Nicole looked at her father then to Marcel. She saw murder in their eyes. "Let's go kill them all." Marcel said. Klaus smirked evilly. Nicole knew trouble was coming.

THE BAYOU

Eve, Elijah and Rebekah have stopped by the lake, where Eve is pointing out sites on her map with her stake. "Surrounded by 20,000 acres of swamp, the ones born here, who now know it like the backs of our hands, will be fine. But here..." She points at the map with her stake. "...newcomers from out of state. Not of Hayley's and my kin. But, word's spread about that baby of hers. A lot of werewolves wanna see this miracle pregnancy for themselves. Only now, the vampires are out looking for blood, and all these werewolves new at the Bayou might not know where to hide." Rebekah pouts. "You say that like we're supposed to care." Eve scoffs. "Believe me, you're gonna want them kept alive." Elijah is curious. "And why is that?" Eve looks at Elijah and Rebekah. "See for yourself."
