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

Interrogations, Confrontations and Riddles Solved

THE PIT

Marcel's vampires are casually relaxing at the bar when suddenly the doors fly open and a man is thrown onto the floor. Elijah, Nicole and Marcel follow in behind him, and Marcel throws him into a chair and Nicole aims her gun at his head. "Wh-what do you want from me?" The man asks terrified. "Well, I assume you're familiar with this pigsty, quite appropriately known as the Pit. See, awkwardly enough, only weeks ago, a group of human beings just like yourself slaughtered many of the companions of the vampires that you see assembled before you here." Elijah states. "You run the records room at City Hall. We're told the former Mayor kept a detailed record of the supernatural community." Marcel says. "A ledger of names of witches, werewolves and vampires. Specifically, their death records. We need it." Nicole says. "I-I don't know where it is." He says lying. "I think we both know that's a fib. Nicole I hope your gun is loaded." Nicole smirks and cocks the gun. "Oh! Okay, w-wait! They moved the records after the Mayor died. They're at the sacristy of St. Anne's Church." He says with his hands up. Nicole lowers her gun with a satisfied smirk. "See? There, wasn't so difficult, now, was it?" Elijah asks coyly.

FLEUR-DE-LIS SANITARIUM

Rebekah is running through the abandoned corridors when she comes around the corner to face two small children they quietly stand in front of her. Then, suddenly, they let out a piercing, deafening scream. "Ah!" She yells in fear and stumbles backward. "Rough day? Oh, Beks! Those bites are looking nasty." Genevieve says not actually caring. "Why make me relive the past? We both know how it ends." Rebekah asks angrily. "You and I both know. But, I thought your brother might like to hear our story, so I linked your mind to his. You're gonna show him everything." Genevieve says with a huge smirk. "NO! NO! Please don't do that to me, I'll do anything." Rebekah begs. "It's too late, friend." Rebekah tries to attack her, but Rebekah is too weakened, and Genevieve is too strong. She casts a pain infliction spell on her, and Rebekah grabs her head and screams in pain until she falls unconscious. Genevieve walks away, leaving Rebekah alone in the hall.

ST. ANNE'S CHURCH

Elijah, Nicole and Marcel are in the rectory of the church, searching through all of the documents on the supernatural community. "Marcel, here's another name from our list: Brynne Deveraux. Says here she drowned herself some twenty years ago." Elijah says. Marcel looks at the name. "Do you recognize the name?" Nicole asks hopeful. "Brynne? Yeah, yeah, we used to hang out." He smirks. "Knock around a bit." Nicole shudders. "You can spare us the details, please." Elijah says disgusted. "She used to do some spells for me now and then. Girl had power. Cursed a whole pack of werewolves just because they were pissing me off. Speaking of, what do you think Klaus is gonna do when he finds out that you left him to suffer while you saved Hayley and her wolf friends?" Marcel asks. "Let's avoid discussing matters that are not your concern, shall we, Marcellus?" Elijah says trying to focus. "Oh, come on, Elijah. I got guys all over this city. You honestly think that I don't know that the Crescent wolves had a little family reunion out at the plantation last night? Thanks for letting the house burn, by the way. Good riddance! But my question is, what's Hayley doing with that bunch?" Marcel keeps prying. Nicole eyes Elijah but remains silent. "Marcel, I'm aware of your history with the city's wolves, and I assume you understand that if you lay a finger upon Hayley, it will be the last thing you do on this earth." Elijah says staring into Marcel's eyes. "I see I hit a nerve. And just when we were getting along." Marcel says with sarcasm. Nicole rolls her eyes. Nicole finishes skimming the records and changes the subject. "Ah! We were right! Every name on your body signifies a witch who died by her own hand. All but one. Clara Summerlin." Nicole says looking at Marcel. "Ring any bells?" Marcel asks. "None." Elijah says. "Okay, well, if she didn't off herself, then how did she die?" Marcel asks looking at Nicole. "Influenza Epidemic of 1919." Nicole says. Suddenly, the names tattooed on Elijah's body vanish, and both he and Marcel look shocked. Marcel looks as though he's feeling anxious and guilty about where this investigation seems to be heading. "I suppose we have our answer, though I have no idea what it means." Elijah says troubled.
