Dragon's Keeper

Chapter 36

~Previously on Dragon's Keeper~

"You're from the Crescent Wolf bloodline. Marcel forced a witch to curse them so they'd be trapped in wolf form." Sophie says. "And I should keep listening to you because...?" MayBeth questions. "Because my bloodline executed that curse. Help me complete the Harvest and I'll undo the curse for you." Sophie stated. "But what can I do?" Maybeth asks. "I need to consecrate the remains of a powerful witch so I can absorb their magic. I know of one whose body was never found. Her name is Celeste DuBois. I believe you and she have a friend in common?" Sophie says. "Elijah." Maybeth stated. "Story goes that when she died, he buried her in a secret spot at her request. All you have to do is find out where." Sophie says. MayBeth hangs up and sighs.

Main Street, French Quarter

The Festival is in full swing, marching bands and people partying in dressed up costumes to celebrate. Davina, in disguise with a mask over her face and Camille walk hurriedly down the sidewalk. "There's people everywhere." Davina says. "Just keep walking, no one knows it's you." Cami says. "Cami-" Davina starts. Camille and Davina stop as they see Klaus walking ahead of them, searching around. "We have to get off this street." Camille and Davina rush off down a side street. Marcel and Elijah are in the middle of the street talking quietly to another. "Kieran is gonna call me first if he hears anything." Marcel says. Klaus approaches them. "Ah, you two look rather cozy." Klaus says. "Hardly, I was just telling Elijah how we're wasting time." Marcel says. "You don't like festivals?" Klaus says. Rebekah shows up. "I don't see why not? Who doesn't love a street fair?" Rebekah says. "Sister, come to help us find our stray?" Klaus says. "We can't let your secret weapon get in the wrong hands, can we?" Rebekah says. "For the record, we're moments away from retrieving her." Klaus says. "I recognize that tone of voice, Niklaus. Clearly you have some diabolical machination. What is it?" Elijah asks. Klaus smirks before he walks closer to a figure ahead. "Timothy..." Klaus says. He puts a hand on his shoulder and compels him. "Might I have a word?" He asks.

Camille's apartment

Josh is still in her apartment on his phone. "Cami! It's me. Again. Stalking you. Look, just really need to know where you guys are so I can meet you before the sun comes up. Again." Josh says. His phone beeps and he looks at who is trying to call him from an unknown number. "Uh, hello?" Josh asks. "Joshua, my most disappointing minion. I suspected you wouldn't answer the call were it from me." Klaus says. "Klaus. Hey. What up? Guess what, I just moved to Turkey. Weirdly, they don't eat turkey here. Go figure." Josh says. "You're lying. In fact Marcel and I were just chatting about your failed double agent status, and we've surmised that you're likely still in town and in the company of a friend – a young, angry witch." Klaus says. "Nope. Nope. No witches here. Totally digging Turkey, though." Josh continues. "Are you really going to leave Davina's fiddler soul mate, Timothy alone with me? Oh, Josh. What would she think of that? I assure you I just wanna talk to her. Tim and I will be at the compound. I really do hope she comes home soon." Klaus says and hangs up.

St Anne's Church

Davina and Cami enter the church. "We should keep moving. How long do we have to wait?" Davina says. "Give it a few minutes, then I'll check to see if the coast is clear." Cami says. Cami's phone vibrates. She picks it up. "Josh, sorry I missed your calls. What?" Cami says. The shots alternate between Cami in the church and Josh at Cami's place. "Look, I didn't want to tell you, but I know Klaus. If Davina doesn't show up, he'll kill Tim." Josh says. "We'll think of something. Make your way to the Quarter. Stay hidden. We'll text you when we have a plan." Cami says. They hang up. "I have to go." Davina states. "Davina, wait." Cami pleads. "I can't let Tim die." Davina senses another flash of magic. "What's wrong?" Cami questions. "The witches." Davina says. The latches on the church doors clank loudly. The witches enter, chanting. "Gadyen nan balans. Gadyen nan la foi. Se pou nou fe sa yo dwe fe." The witches chant. "NO!" Davina shouts. The church's foundations begin to tremble. Davina levitates the witches, including Sabine, then snaps their necks using her magic. They fall to the ground, dead. Davina goes to Cami, who lies on the ground. "Cami?" Davina says. Cami doesn't budge, Davina leaves the church.

MIKAELSON MANSION

MayBeth enters the house, her two bodyguards in her wake. "I'm just grabbing some clothes. Give me two minutes, please?" MayBeth says. She goes to a trunk and pulls out Elijah's journal. She looks for anything about Celeste, and reads several passages. "Celeste entrances me... She is perfection... She is dead. Even as the sun rises, I see only night. But for the promise I made to her, that in death, I would bury her far from the mayhem of witches, vampires, and men..." Elijah in Voice over says. "I am so so sorry, Lijah."

THE FRENCH QUARTER

Davina hurries through the festive streets of the Quarter when Josh finds her. "Hey, it's just me. Don't, like, melt me." Josh says. "What are you doing? You're supposed to be hidden." Davina says. "Yeah. So are you, remember, but you're kind of working that whole "girl on a mission" look that makes me nervous. Are you sure that you really want to mess with, like, the baddest dude in all of history?" Josh states. "He messed with me when he took Tim. I'll kill him, all of them." Davina says. "Davina, Originals can't be killed." Josh says. "Maybe they can. I have so much power, I've never felt anything like it before. It's growing, gathering inside me. I'm strong, Josh." Davina says. "If you kill them, then--" Josh starts. "What?" Davina cuts him off. "If you're gonna do it, don't hold back. You hit them with all you got." Josh says. Davina leaves. Rebekah startles Josh by appearing suddenly. "That was very sweet, not telling Davina that if she kills Klaus, you die, too, very noble. Problem is, she goes after my brother, she'll be the one who ends up dead. A very unnecessary end to an already tragic story. Perhaps you'd like to help me help her." Rebekah says.

THE ABATTOIR

"Where's Rebekah gotten off to?" Klaus says. "It's not Rebekah that I'm concerned about, and how can you be so certain that Davina will come?" Elijah says. "One might think you've forgotten what it's like to be in the grip of an all-consuming infatuation. She'll come." Klaus says. "Are the maudlin theatrics absolutely necessary, Niklaus?" Elijah asks. "Ha! It's a fair point, Timothy, play something a little more upbeat, please. That's a good lad. Took you long enough to spread the word." Klaus says. "Have you met his nightwalkers? Not the brightest assortment." Elijah states. "All that matters is, I got it covered. When Davina gets here, you two need to let me do the talking." Marcel says. "Well, I'm sure you'll have your chance. Hello, love. Silence is golden, Timothy. Thank you." Klaus says when he sees Davina enter. "Davina?" Tim says. "You got me here. Now let him down." Davina says. "Well, first, we have to have a little chat about you returning to the fold." Klaus says. Marcel turns to Klaus. "What did I say, Klaus? I got this." Marcel turns back to Davina. "D, what happened? Why'd you run? Talk to me. Hey, I can make it right." Marcel says. "How, by threatening my friend?" Davina says. "Actually, that was my idea. Apologies. I've been known to go too far to make a point, But I do always get results." Klaus says. "You pretend to be so confident, but I know the truth. You're afraid everyone can see what you really are-- an animal." Davina tortures Klaus with magic. "A beast. Why don't you show us your real face? That's enough of you." She incapacitates Klaus. "Davina, you don't have to do this." Elijah says. "You-- You looked me in the eyes and lied to my face, pretended you wanted to help me." Davina states. "Listen to me." Elijah tries. "You call yourself the noble one, but you're a killer just like your brother. For 1,000 years, you've fed on innocent blood. Why don't you choke on it?" Davina makes Elijah choke on blood. Davina turns to face Marcel. "And you-- I trusted you. I loved you, but you were just using me to stay in power. You don't care about me." Davina says. "You're wrong." Marcel says. "When you lost to Klaus, you handed me over like some trophy. Maybe I should boil you in bronze." Davina says. "I care. I took you in like you were my own blood." Marcel says. Rebekah stabs Marcel through the chest and he falls over. "Come on now, love. Don't tell me you were falling for that. Isn't it time for us girls to have a chat? Now, that is impressive, and well-deserved, in my opinion. Now, before you turn on me, I have a surprise for you." Rebekah says. Josh enters the courtyard. "Josh, what are you doing? Get out of here." Davina says. Rebekah grabs Josh by the throat. "What are you doing?" Josh stutters out. "Now, if I were Klaus, I would rip Josh's head from his neck, feed it to a nightwalker, and that would be the end of your friend But hurting people is such a boyish thing to do, like how Klaus compelled your fiddler on the roof, and, while I am many things, I'm certainly not my brother. It's ok, Timothy. You can come down. No one's gonna hurt you." Rebekah says. "He told me I couldn't climb down off this beam." Tim says. "Then don't climb, silly. Am I the only smart one in the room? Jump." Rebekah states. Tim jumps down and Rebekah catches him. Tim goes to Davina. "Davina, how did you do all that? How did I even get here?" Tim says. "I'll explain everything, I promise." Davina says and turns to Rebekah. "Why are you doing this?" She says. "Seems to me that you're the one holding all the cards, but you don't know who to trust. I've just proven that you can trust me. Now I'd like to show you one more thing. Won't take long. You can bring your friends." Rebekah says.
