Always & Forever A Mikaelson {Sequel to Klaus' Daughter Is A Lockwood}

Attack On Thierry and Old Memories

THE FRENCH QUARTER

Rebekah and Nicole track Thierry into an alley and Rebekah ambushes him by shoving him into a wall. "You! I should rip out your coward heart." She yelled. "What, Rebekah? We made a deal to take out your brother, but at he end of the day, it's every man for himself." Thierry says with no remorse. "I am so sick of self-serving narcissists. Are men simply incapable of committing to an alliance?" Rebekah says with tears in her eyes. "Just get rid of him already Bekah!" Nicole yells.

Suddenly Elijah vamp-speeds over to Thierry and snaps his neck again. Nicole is in shock. "Oh, I asked you to cease these petty moves against our family, and yet you conspire with this fool. Is this what its come to, making moves against your own blood?" Elijah asks disappointed. "Don't you try and shame me. Nik grows more powerful by the day, and you two do nothing but encourage him." Rebekah says letting her tears roll. "I offer him my counsel because it's clear to me that he needs to make the city our home. Now, perhaps leading these derelicts will curb some of these impulses, grant him some degree of happiness."

Elijah tried to calm her down. "You always talk of Nik's happiness. Over 1,000 years, he has robbed me of any chance at my own. What about me, Elijah? Am I not a concern for you?" Nicole felt terrible that Rebekah still felt this way. "We all make sacrifices in the name of this family, Rebekah, but know this. I will never stand against you or Niklaus." Elijah tried to reason with her again. "What about Hayley? Nothing I conspire to do, none of my treachery will harm this family as much as your feelings for her." Nicole was pissed. "Rebekah stop it! We can't help who we fall in love with!" Rebekah glared at her and lost it. "Shut up you bitch! You're a hypocrite, Elijah. You would choose love over family and then condemn me for doing the same." She vamp sped out in a huff leaving Nicole and Elijah dumbfounded and guilty.

JARDIN GRIS VOODOO SHOP

Marcel walks into the Jardin Gris, where Rebekah is standing and waiting for him. "Fancy meeting you here." Rebekah gave a small smile. "That symbol is already up and down the Cauldron, more of them popping up everywhere." Marcel says. "I suppose Papa Tunde is marking his territory." Rebekah assumes. "I'm told you saw him, as well?" Marcel asks. "Yeah. Brought up a lot of memories. Memories that are best left buried." Rebekah says putting her head down.

FLASHBACK-- MIKAELSON COMPOUND, 1919

Rebekah finds Marcel drinking alone at one of the tables in the courtyard. "You're soused. Celebrating Klaus' defeat of the mad Papa Tunde?" She asks. Marcel lifts his head to look at her. "Not celebrating, drowning sorrows. I'm the one who brought Tunde to town." He finishes his drink. "What?" Rebekah asks looking around to make sure no one was listening. "I made some inquiries while I was abroad, wanted the most dangerous witch anyone could find." He whispered. "Why on earth would you do that?" Rebekah was confused. "For you. I figured if someone as bad as Tunde comes in, maybe Klaus gets chased off. Very least, he's occupied enough that he can't stop me from trying to get you back." Marcel smiled at her. "You mean to tell me that you would tear down everything my family built, everything you helped us build, risk your own life, on the off chance that I would show you the slightest bit of affection?" Rebekah asks. "I would. I did. I'd do it again." He replies grabbing her hand. "Klaus has killed a thousand Tundes. All his life, there's only ever been one man he has truly feared My father Mikael." She says with a look of fear in her eye. "The vampire who hunts vampires?" Marcel is now confused. "If he came here, Klaus would flee and never turn back. All we need is a witch who can help us find him." She looks behind her, where she sees a red-haired witch sitting at a nearby table. Their eyes meet, and they smile at each other.
