The Originals X Katherine Pierce

Chapter 6

We walk into the doors of this big church. I look around and see the blood across the floor and wall. 

"What happened here?" I ask

"A kid killed people and then killed himself. The owner is working on restoring it right now. She's upstairs." 

"You keep the witch up in the attic of a murdered riddled church?" 

"For all intents and purposes, it's abandoned until it's reopened." He continues to walk up the stairs and we follow 

He opens the door and walks in.

"Marcel." She says excitedly 

He goes in for a hug and then he separates. "Davina, this is my friend. She is going to help us with Klaus." 

"Hello, my name is Davina." She walks towards the door and extends her hand out to me

I reach for it and shake it. "I'm Katherine Pierce. This is my daughter, Nadia." 

"Nice to meet you guys." She smiles

"Davina, can they come in?" Marcel asks her

"Yes, they can." 

I walk past the threshold into the room. I look around and there is a bed, curtains, an easel and lots of drawing. 

"Are these all yours?" I ask

"Yes." She answers

"They're beautiful. You know, I'm sort of an artist myself." I say picking up one of her drawings

"I get it from my mother. You?" She asks

"My father." I put the drawing back down 

"Oh, is he still alive?" She asks innocently

"Davina, I have been a vampire for over five hundred years."

"Maybe you could show me some of your work." She changes the subject

"Maybe. I don't mean to be rude Davina, but Marcel says that you and I need to talk."  

"I'm sorry D. She just wants to know about the harvest ritual. Do you think you can talk about it?" He asks

"A friend of yours is a friend of mine. We can sit on the bed if you want." 

"I'm fine with standing. Can we get on with the story?" I ask 

"Marcel, can you give us some privacy?" Davina looks to him

"Sure, D." 

"The witches were running out of magic so they needed to do a ritual to give the power back to the ancestors so they could access to it." 

"The Harvest Ritual." I say

"Yes, they said that if we appeased the ancestors that we could make our powers stronger. They said that they would prick our hands and we would fall into a sleep and when we woke up the powers would be restored." 

"Let me guess, they lied." I state 

"Yes, the night of the ritual they did something totally different." 

Davina finishes with her story and by that time I'm sitting on the bed next to her. She wipes away her tears and stands up. 

"Marcel saved me and now I help him keep the same witches who tried to kill me in control and I'm more than happy to do it." 

Out of the corner of my eyes I see a casket, the same casket I seen five hundred years ago. A casket with the letter M on it. The lid is closed but I know who is inside of it, Elijah. I bump Nadia with my arm and motion my head to the casket. She looks at it but Davina notices and moves near it. 

"What's that?" Nadia asks 

Davina leans down to open it and I see a daggered Elijah and I inhale sharply. 

"This is Elijah. He's an Original." She says 

I notice that the dagger is out of his chest a little and I look towards Davina. 

"Have you taken the dagger out?" I ask 

"Yes, I have." 

"How many times?" I ask

"A few. Why? Is that bad?" She looks worried 

"The more you take it out and insert it again it diminishes the power it has." I say 

"What does that mean?" 

"It means that he should being be waking up any minute." I admit

Davina goes to the door to I assume get Marcel before someone flashes in front of her. It's Elijah all veiny and gray. I look at him in shock as he looks down at Davina scanning her face. 

"It's best not to do that Davina. We have much to discuss." 

Davina backs up real quick as he steps forward. "You don't need to be scared." 

"I'm not scared. You may be the oldest of vampires but I have the power of three harvest witches." She says staying her stance  

Elijah looks at me and smiles. "Katerina." 

"Elijah." I run over to him and give him a big hug 

"I've missed you, Katerina." He hugs me tighter 

"You guys know each other?" Davina asks

"For five hundred years." 

We are interrupted when the door opens and Elijah immediately shuts the lid and hides. Marcel enters and looks around. 

"You okay in here D?" He asks 

"Yeah." She responds

He goes to shut the door and I shoot Davina a look. "Uh, Marcel, Can you go to Rousseau's and get me some food? I'm hungry." 

"Sure. I'll be right back." He smiles and closes the door

"I hope that wasn't code for something." I say stepping towards her

"Back away from the girl, Katerina." Elijah says stepping out of the shadows 

"Calm down Elijah. I'm not going to do anything to her, I like her." I walk past her and look at more of her paintings 

"What are you doing here Katerina?" He asks 

"Marcel took me to see Davina here so she could help me with something, but things have taken a major turn." I turn towards him 

"What did you need help with?" 

"I need help killing Klaus." I speed over to him and snap his neck 

He falls to the ground and both Nadia and Davina looks towards me. 

"Now, let's get down to business." I smile

"How can I help kill Klaus?" Davina questions me

"You said you have the power of three harvest witches, right?" 

"Yes." 

"That's how you can help."

I go over to Elijah's body and pick him up. "Nadia, open the bottom half of the casket." 

She does as I say and I place him in the casket. I close the whole thing and motion Nadia to the other side of it. 

"I'll be in contact with Marcel." Nadia and I lift up the casket 

"What are you doing with him?" She asks 

"I'm taking him with me." I say as we carry Elijah out
