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

Francesca Confronts Cami, Hayley's Wolves & Mikael's Haunting Dreams

ROUSSEAU'S

Klaus continues to sulk and drink at his table as he glances over at Marcel. Marcel sees the photos of Father Kieran, Sean, and Cami by the bar, and grabs a bottle of scotch to make a toast to the entire party. As he does this Nicole walks in quietly. "I know I haven't been around these parts lately. It's a testament to Father Kieran that we could come together and share a drink, and a story or two. Kieran rolled into town on a rusty old cruiser after his daddy died twenty-five years ago. And dammit, that guy could party!" He and the audience laugh. "That was, of course, before he took his vows. But, even then, he was committed to the Quarter. He knew that this town needed him. And, we still do." He raises his glass. "To Father K!" He says to everyone. "To Father K." Everyone replies and drinks in his honor and goes back to their festivities.

Cami becomes overwhelmed by the atmosphere and rushes into the back room to cry and be alone, only to find Francesca there as well. "Looks like we had the same idea. It's Cami, right? I've been informed that Kieran's necklace is missing. The key that he always wore? I assume he left it for me." Francesca says with drink in hand. "Excuse me?" Cami asks her stunned by her boldness. "How rude of me. I'm Francesca Correa, I took over your uncle's position of Faction representative when his...mental faculties were compromised." She says with fake sympathy. "His faculties weren't compromised. He was hexed." Cami says angrily. "Hexed by one of our enemies! Look, I'm invested in protecting the people of this city, and to do that, I need the key." Francesca says getting in Cami's personal space. Cami is fuming but tries to hide it. "It must have fallen off during the events that led to his untimely death. I am so sorry." Cami storms away. As she pushes her way through the party, she passes by Hayley, who notices that she's upset. Hayley watches as Francesca exits the back room and approaches the bar.

Across the room, Klaus and Elijah sit and drink at the table. "Seems rather uncivilized to laugh and dance around the body of a loved one." Klaus says to Elijah. "Yes, far better to practice your process of grief, Niklaus; denial, rage, and hoarding coffins in basements." Elijah says as he pours himself a drink. Nicole and Hayley make their way through the crowd to join the tow brothers. Hayley sits next to Elijah and Nicole sits next to her father. "I will warn you girls, Niklaus is in a spectacularly foul mood today." Elijah said with a small smirk. "Sod off." Klaus says to Elijah. Nicole rolls her eyes at the two of them. "Please no fighting today. Seriously, I'm not in the mood for sibling banter." Nicole was exhausted from the dreams and losing Father Kieran was taking its toll on her. "What's the deal with these moonlight rings? Oliver's trying to set a revolution every five seconds. People are scared, angry, and frankly, I'm tired of stalling." Hayley asks Klaus; anxiously. "It's a day of peace, Hayley. Try and enjoy it." Nicole says trying to calm her down. "And, in the meantime, with all manner of unknown enemies conspiring against our family, you'll move back in with us. " Klaus says with a fake smile. "Awesome! Then, we can do that thing where you lock me in the tower, I escape, there's drama, and then you two both realize I'm very capable of looking after myself." Hayley says sarcastically. Nicole put her head in her hands; annoyed at the situation. Not to mention her head was pounding like crazy. "The rings are in progress. I will live up to my word. We will find and punish whoever launched the attack on the Bayou, and you will return to the compound for your own safety!" Klaus says; extremely frustrated at Hayley.

Hayley sighs and rolls her eyes. "But, right now..." He says as he grabs his bottle of scotch. "I'm gonna finish this bottle..."He opens the bottle. "And the next; in the hopes of drowning the demon who has chosen today to haunt me." He says angrily. Nicole looks at him with confusion. He looks up at the ceiling. "Cheers, Mikael. Impeccable, Freudian timing." He then begins chugging right from the bottle. Nicole and Elijah exchange worried glances. "Elaborate." Elijah says; stunned by Klaus mentioning Mikael. Hayley looks at Elijah and Klaus in concern. "Have you dreamt of our father?" Elijah asks puzzled. "Go ahead, have a good laugh." Klaus says bitterly. "I can assure you there is no piece of this that I find even remotely amusing, Niklaus. Especially considering I've been dreaming of him, too." Elijah says with fear in his voice. "What?" Klaus and Nicole ask at the same time. "Wait! I had a dream last night with a man I didn't recognize. He staked Dad and called you 'boy'." Nicole says with worry. Klaus and Elijah look at each other; fear clear in their eyes. "That would be Mikael you saw." Klaus says through gritted teeth. "If you and Nicole also seeing him..." Elijah stops mid-thought when he notices Genevieve enter Rousseau's. She catches his eye, and smiles. Nicole turns to see who Elijah is looking at. "Perhaps our tricky, unknown enemy is creating another attack?" Nicole asks Klaus and Elijah. "Well, then. What better way to punctuate a day of peace than by killing someone?" Klaus says as he, Nicole and Elijah continue to look at Genevieve. He smiles and waves at her.
