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

Wolves In The House, Fighting With Bonnie, Meeting Jackson

THE BAYOU/PLANTATION HOUSE

The Crescent werewolves have just transformed back into humans, and pull clothing Hayley left for them off of the clothes line before they dress themselves for the party. At the plantation house, Rebekah is cooking crawfish in the kitchen while she leaves Marcel a voicemail. "So help me God, Marcel, if you don't call me back with an update, I will kill you myself." She hangs up the phone angrily. Suddenly, a blonde, shirtless Crescent wolf shows up in the kitchen, and when Rebekah finally notices him, she's startled by his appearance. "Oh. I beg your pardon. I was expecting someone... furrier." Rebekah says awkwardly. "You're one of them, aren't you? An Original?" The wolf asks. "Yes. You might want to say that with some more respect. I suppose you'll be wanting Hayley." Rebekah tries to keep her cool. "Or I could just talk to you. I'm Oliver. I didn't catch your name." He says with a smirk. "I'm Rebekah. Hayley, the party's here!" She calls out into the next room.

NICOLE'S ROOM

Jeremy is angrily yelling at Bonnie on the phone. Bonnie is trying to explain herself. Nicole wakes up holding her head. Jeremy sees she's awake. "Hold on Bonnie." Jeremy says rushing over to the bed to see if Nicole's okay. "hey, are you okay?" He asks looking her over. "pounding headache and kinda sore but yeah I'm ok. What time is it?" Nicole asks worriedly. "It's past 8. Full moon is up and you're still you." He says with a small smile. "It worked?" Nicole asks excitedly. Jeremy nods silently. Nicole feels something's off. "Wait, what's wrong?" She asks eyeing Jeremy suspiciously. "Who's on the phone?" She asks. "It's Bonnie. She did something to the spell." Jeremy says with anger in his voice. Nicole grabs the phone out of his hand.

"What did you do to me Bonnie?"

"I did what you asked! I made your werewolf side dormant!"

"Then why is Jeremy saying you did something!"

"I don't know! For some reason he says your werewolf birthmark is gone and Rebekah says that means you are no longer a wolf at all."

"What?! No! That can't be! The spell was used to make it dormant not erase it!"

"I'll do some research. For now just stay calm. I'll call you back."

With that Bonnie hung up on her again. Nicole was in shock. She only turned once. She was proud of being a wolf. She was proud of who she was. She didn't want that side of herself to be gone. That was the one bond her and Klaus shared over everything else. Now apparently it was gone. So if he was ever going to turn her; she would just be a vampire and her powers would disappear.

PLANTATION HOUSE

Most of the party has moved into the backyard, which has been decorated by dozens of candles and strings of lights. Some werewolves are playing instruments while the others dance to the music. Off to the side, Oliver is trying to get Rebekah to dance with him. "Come on, you can do better than that!" he said trying to twirl her. "Sorry, I've got a burdened brain tonight." Oliver takes her hands to force her to dance. "No, no, no, no, no, no. Tonight is not the night for burdens. It's to celebrate. It's to enjoy life for the few hours that we get to live it. It's to hug our friends, our family, and to dance our asses off."

Hayley has just walked back inside, where she's tidying up empty cups and beer cans in the living room. A Crescent werewolf with shaggy, curly brown hair comes up behind Hayley and joins her. "I seriously doubt you invited us here to wait on us." He pauses for a beat. "You're Hayley. I'm Jackson. It's nice to see you again." He says smiling. "You're the wolf who's been watching me." She smiles back. "I gotta keep my eye on you. Precious cargo and all." He says trying to be funny. "Right. Gotta protect the miracle baby." She says sarcastically. "No, that's not what I meant. I don't care about the baby. Sorry, that came out wrong. I mean, of course I care. You're a Labonair. A baby, it's a big deal. But personally, my interest is in you." He says walking closer to her. "You don't even know me." Hayley is confused. "Our parents knew each other. They were of the same people, but not the same bloodline. Now, you know how pack hierarchy works, right? Everybody has their part to play, and... we had our part, too." He says with disappointment on his face. "What part was that?" Jackson lets out a sigh. "You were supposed to be my wife." He told her. Hayley stood frozen, not knowing how to process this.

FRENCH QUARTER

Celeste/Sabine is continuing to take Elijah on a tour throughout the city. "So, this next part of town is one of the few areas where any of the original French architecture remains. The most of the buildings were destroyed in the 1700s when the city burned for the first time." She notices Elijah hasn't said anything in a while. "Am I putting you to sleep?" She asks with a raised eyebrow. "As surprising as you might find this, it's not every day that someone asks you to betray your own brother... Celeste." Elijah says with a smirk. "How did you know?" Celeste is impressed. "As Davina was drawing your likeness, I dared to imagine that your presence was near. And when Sophie discovered that there was no magic in your remains, I wondered-– could you have possibly cheated death by using your power to place your essence into the body of another? And if so, then who? And then, I recalled the lovely Sabine. Ensuring that the Harvest ritual could not be completed-– unless you were to control it. You have been playing a very long game, indeed. But to what end?"

Celeste steps closer to Elijah and kisses him. When she pulls away, her lipstick is on his lips, and he quickly becomes dizzy and weakened. "Oh, Elijah, my lost love... After all this time, don't you understand? I died because of Klaus. And even after all his vindictive lies about witches led to my death, you stood by him. All because of your vow... 'always and forever'." Elijah becomes even weaker and struggles to stay on his feet. When he starts to speak, his speech is slurred. "What have you done to me?" He asks trying to regain his balance. "Oh, it's a simple enchantment. You needn't worry. I'm not here to kill you, Elijah, I'm here to teach you the error of your ways. 'Always and forever' was the greatest mistake of your life." Elijah suddenly passes out and falls unconscious to the ground.
