Fire in the Water (Book 1)

A fellowship of vampires, witches and a hunter

The Mikaelson House in New Orleans was all of a sudden very crowded place. Elijah now showed that he was a perfect host.

"It is best if you all stay here for the time being."- he said to everyone. 

"All under one roof? Frenemies, enemies, lovers?! this is going to be good" 

- Kol shot just to irk  Elijah a bit, since he didn't like being teased at all. Elijah was too serious.

"I will stay in a hotel!"- Caroline said- "the only ones who are attacked are you!" 

"They are attacking vampires everywhere..."- Sophie then said as she now got a message from Liv.

"So... what is this? Are we going to be closed off here now?"- Caroline protested. 

"We need to think this through... I would like to come out with my plan as soon as Rebekah arrives."- Elijah said- "till then, I will organize food and blood supplies for all!"

It felt like an apocalypse crisis headquarters.  

Jane-Anne arrived at some point and she said that Marcel had paid her a visit. At one point, Elena and Jeremy went to the back yard that was as big as the house, with trees line in the middle of it. They sat on a bench another a tree.

"I am glad Caroline brought you with her..."_ Elena said. 

"This is blowing into something really big, right?" 

"It is!"- Elena confirmed- "things have changed so much..." 

"I had a dream last night..."- Jeremy said- "you were fighting...all of us were... I had a strange tatoo all over my chest and arms..." 

"It was just a dream..."- Elena said. 

Sophie, who had stepped out in the yard as well overheard the last that has  been said. Jeremy having the dream was the message he had received from the Norns. His name was the one she read in the Grimoire. 

She walked to them. 

"I am sorry to jump in... but... what you dreamt, wasn't your subconscious playing with you... Gilbert, the archer...is mentioned in the Grimoire." 

"Excuse me?"- Jeremy said looking at the witch. 

"When the Hundings were defeated once long time ago...someone wrote that a Gilbert slayed the king of Saxon's. At that time the Hundings fought the Wolf clan Gaets." 

"That someone Gilbert is our ancestor, I guess!!"- Jeremy said. 

"Can it be any other way...?!"- Sophie said- "is this the tatoo you've seen in your dream?"- She showed him the drawing from the Grimoire. 

Elena looked at it as well. 

Jeremy nodded flabbergasted. 

"When will it happen?...what does it mean?..." 

"It doesn't say how it happens...but you will know...the dream was a message!" 

A knot formed in Elena's gut, a new fear rised in her. Jeremy, on the other hand seemed eager to learn more. The youth would always be impatient. 

They all heard now that Rebekah arrived, along with Damon and Stefan.

Stefan knew this house well, and could enter without problems. Rebekah brough him there in the 20s.

"Of course...I am the only one who doesn't get a pass!"- Damon moaned and then Rebekah shouted the two magical words- "Come in!" as she hugged Kol,  she wanted to know how he was, and she immediately retold them of her encounter with the creature and all about her slaying ability.
