The next day...Afternoon

No one's pov

The day had come for the take down of King Lucien. It was nearing 4 in the afternoon and most men in New Orleans were ensuring their wives and children were in safe and sound before heading to the square to meet with the Hood and everyone else. The majority of people going to help with the take down of King Lucien were going to be men as most of the women had to remain home with the children. The homeless people of New Orleans were all participating in taking down the false King and of those that followed him. There was a lot of homeless people, both men and women and while there were homeless children. The homeless people had people from friends or people willing to offer a safe place for the children to stay for shelter while the event occurred as everyone knew it was going to get messy.

Lord Kol and Davina's little girl Clara was with Bonnie St.John who was also minding her and Enzo's daughter Alexis along with Rebekah and Marcel's two daughters Daisy and Maria as Rebekah and Marcel were both attending the take down of King Lucien. Their adopted son Josh was also taking part as was his boyfriend Aiden.

Kol stood up at front of the square as everyone gathered and he pulled his hood down "are you ready!?" he asked "YES!" everyone replied "remember to stay alert, stay strong and don't back down. Remember why you are doing this and who you're doing this for! As you're not just doing this for ourselves but also for our children and their future. A future with Lucien still as King is a future I do not want for my daughter and I know it's one none of you want for yours either so tonight we take down the false King and anyone who follows him and know he is a false King for the sake of our children!" Kol exclaimed making everyone cheer and holler in agreement. Enzo stood near Kol and stepped forward "I heard word that he's sent his guards and his general to collect taxes from us but they're in for one hell of a surprise when they realise they aren't getting a single dime from us! Tonight we start by attacking the guards and general who have aided in the King's greed and cruelty" Enzo stated making everyone cheer. Vincent who was overlooking the area, saw the guards and general approaching so he quickly climbed down and stood next to Kol and Enzo. "They're approaching. Everyone stand guard!" Vincent said making everyone get into position and prepare to face the general and the guards. Kol pulled his hood up and climbed up to the roof of a building so he could watch everything from above. 

The general and the guards stopped as the people blocked them "I'm not even going to ask why because this makes things easier for so if you would all please hand over your taxes and we'll be on our way" the general spoke "you're not getting anything from us General" one man spoke "excuse me?" the general asked with a scoff "we're sick and tired of King Lucien taking whatever he wants and ruining our lives. Today he gets nothing from us" a woman spoke in response "well I don't care how you feel but regardless you will pay your taxes or face punishment by the hand of the King" the general replied "we are not afraid of the false King. He's nothing but a foul man with a dark heart and a desire to be a bully" Davina spoke "how dare you insult the King" one guard spoke "oh piss off. I am a human being and I have a right to speak my opinion and I think you'll find my opinion on your King is shared" Davina responded making Kol very proud. "Lucien is not New Orleans rightful ruler and he is not our King. He is a fraud, a cheat, a liar and a monster" Rebekah spoke as she stood next to Davina as everyone started moving towards the general and the guards making them feel nervous and threatened. "Alright, that's enough. Now stop being annoying twits and hand over your money" the general demanded "no! We shall not hand you anything. We not owe anything to you or Lucien" Davina responded "who's the false King?!" Vincent yelled "Lucien!" everyone yelled "what do we want?!" Davina asked "Lucien gone!" everyone yelled back in response. "We are the people of New Orleans and we will defend and protect our children, our brothers and sisters, our cousins, our nieces and nephews, our elders and our city. We shall not be ignored or pushed around no longer!" Davina yelled making everyone cheer in response. "Right that's enough you little bitch!" the General snarled before smacking Davina across the face making Kol's blood boil and he was tempted to emerge from the shadows but he knew he had to wait and he couldn't blow his cover otherwise the plan will fail. Davina spat back at the general before kicking dirt at them which went straight into his eyes making him yell as he stumbled back and rubbed at his eyes "ah! You stupid bitch!" he sneered as he attempted to get the dirt out of his eyes before he was suddenly shoved back onto the floor by Davina making everything erupt into chaos as everyone lunged at the guards. Kol came out from his hiding spot and walked on top of the roof, watching everything as he prepared to make his move. "Ah get your filthy hands off me!" Davina suddenly yelled as the general grabbed her by the waist and roughly started yanking her towards the trailer carriage making Kol instantly lunge into action as the general shoved Davina into a chest made out of wood and straw. Kol jumped off the roof and got on a horse as the guards shoved the chest containing Davina onto the trailer carriage and the general ordered the guards riding the carriage to go making it a chasing match between the trailer carriage and Kol who was getting nearer and nearer whilst shooting at several guards with his arrows and the general stopped him "it's the hood! Get him!" the general yelled making guards run after him. Kol reached the trailer carriage and leaped off the horse and onto the trailer carriage. He quickly shot at the guards who were running after him, killing them all before breaking the lock on the chest and opening it, instantly grabbing Davina's hand and helping her out of it. "Are you alright?" Kol asked briefly stroking her cheek where the general had hit her "yes, I'm fine" she replied as Kol quickly shot the guards driving the trailer carriage with arrows causing the carriage to jerk to the side but before it could crash Kol and Davina jumped off and landed on a big bale of hay which softened their fall. "Are you alright? Did the fall hurt you?" Kol asked concerned as he sat up "I'm fine, the hay cushioned the fall" Davina replied as they stood up and quickly hid behind a big barrel. They looked behind the barrel and watched as everyone was attacking the guards and the general was on the lookout for the hood. "Kol? Everything's going to work out how you planned" Davina said placing a hand on top of his when she sensed how nervous and tense he was feeling "what if it doesn't though? What if somehow Lucien still manages to come out on top?" Kol ponders "then we'll deal with it together, we'll pack up our stuff and leave as selfish and cowardly as it may sound" Davina responds "you know this whole hood thing? I only started it to get you back" Kol confessed "it may have started out that way but it became something more than that. You brought hope to New Orleans, you brought happiness back into my life and our daughters. Nobody here has ever truly experienced what true happiness is because Lucien doesn't allow it. He steals hope and happiness from us because he wants to rule on control, greed and fear. Everyone that is out here fighting is fighting because you inspired them too" Davina said bringing a hand to his face and stroking his cheek. Kol sighed and pressed his forehead against hers as he grabbed her hand and laced their fingers together as he placed a kiss on her knuckle "I'm going to head off towards the palace now and I'm going to kill Lucien. Meet me there?" he said "I'll be there, I promise" Davina responded Kol smiled and passionately kissed her on the lips before standing up and leaping onto the horse nearby. He flashed Davina a wink before he rode off towards the palace. Davina sighed and took a deep breath before standing up and heading back into the action, to help fight the guards.
