Phoenix Rising

1:16: Original Breakout

I walk into the attic of the church after hearing that the Mikaelson siblings go trapped in the Cemetery by Sabine's spell before she died, returned to her normal body and Elijah killed her, allowing Davina to come back to life. That bitch Sabine tricked all of the Mikaelson siblings into the Cemetery, even Kol; which she used a voice changing spell to make him think I was in danger and she bound them by the moon; they'll be free by moonrise, if they survive Klaus, who is holding the White Oak Stake, threatening Rebekah with it. "Davina.." I say, walking in as I see her alive again, sitting on her bed. Marcel called me to come talk to her. I sit down on her bed next to her as she shakes and looks like she's gonna cry and I wrap my arms around her, feeling her hug back and we release. "Marcel told me you were up here. Do you want to tell me what happened? After.. The Harvest?" I ask, taking her hands gently as she cries. "I died.." She says, shaking her head. "And at first, I was alone, but then I heard them. Voices, whispering to me." She says. "Who?" I ask, confused and concerned. "The ancestors. They're so angry with me. I used my power against my own, and they said they'd do horrible things to me if I misuse my magic again." She says and I give a small sigh. "I'd tell them to go to hell, but they'll probably do something horrible to both of us for just me saying it." I say and kiss her cheek gently.

Davina is staring out the window of the church attic as I have a book on psychiatry in my hands. "I've studied the effects of trauma and abuse. The witches that forced us into that ritual, they've lied to you. They hurt you.." I say and she interrupts me. "Adam.." She says, sounding emotionless. "There's nothing you've studied in some book that can help me." She says and I set the book down on the table and walk over to her, glancing at myself in the mirror through my peripheral vision. "Okay, forget the books. Let me tell you what I know from experience. When my brother, Jeremy, died, I never thought I'd be okay again. I cried for days. I blamed myself. I blamed him, and then I realized all that.. sadness was swallowing me up. And I made a choice that I wasn't going to let it. You can make that choice, Davina." I say, walking forward to stand in front of her and she turns around to look at me. "You say that like it's so simple, but the witches aren't just gonna let me go. They're not done with me. Probably not either of us." She says, shaking her head. "Yeah, you're probably right. But no one can control you unless you let them. We're badass witches." I say, smiling softly at her. "How do I even know who to trust?" She asks, shaking her head again. "Should I trust Marcel? The first thing he did when I came back was try to use me again to help Rebekah." She says, walking away from me and turns around to look at me as she has tears running down her cheeks. "Be honest, Adam. Isn't there something you want, too?" She asks and I shake my head. "No, but.. Cami's Uncle is sick and she thought you could help." I say and she shakes her head, crying more and I walk over to her, taking her hands gently and she looks at me. "That's not why I'm here. I care about you. I want to help you. You're my best friend." I say and she raises her voice as I let our hands go and take a step back. "What can you do? When I came back, the voices I heard, they said the only ones who could help me are the witches. But, after what I did to them, they hate me. So, how can I go back and ask for their help now?" She asks. "I'm a witch and I don't hate you." I say, smiling softly at her. "Still want me to teach you how to make that Strawberry Watermelon drink?" I ask and we both laugh. "Psychology sucks. That's why friends are much better." I say and she hugs me a little tighter than last time and I hug back.

I arrive to the Cemetery after Marcel calling about him needing me to try and bust out the Originals from the boundary spell and I see Kol, wrapping my arms around his neck as he pulls me to his chest, holding me there. "Thank God you're okay. What about Elijah and Rebekah? Is she..?" I ask, looking up at him and he shakes his head. "They're okay. She's hiding our from Klaus right now as Elijah is trying to reason with him." He says. "Tell him I said good luck. When Mikael's involved, Klaus is pissed, no matter what." I say and he presses his soft lips against mine and I kiss back, running my hands through his hair a little. "Did you bring it?" He asks and I give a small nod, pulling out a shiny, red apple. "I don't see how an apple is supposed to help us, Kol." I say and he plucks the steam off and cuts it down the middle with his sharp fingernail. "Apples are the fruit of knowledge. They can guide you to what you're looking for." He says and offers me a slice and I eat it as does he. "The problem is, the person who gave you the knowledge has to eat a slice as well for the spell to work." He says. "Then how did it originate?" I ask, confused. "Some say it all happened in the Garden of Eden. With Adam.." He says, grinning at me. "And Kol." He says and I give a small laugh. "I'm gonna need hair and blood from each of you." I say, grabbing a rock that is carved some, enough for a bowl and another one for mixing, making a little makeshift mortar and pestle.

I see Kol come back with the necessary ingredients for the spell and the White Oak Stake. "How the hell did you manage to get this away from him?" I ask, confused as he looks over his shoulder, running with me. "You have about five seconds before he realizes I've taken it. Go!" He exclaims at me, putting the Stake in my front pocket and I run to the exit seeing Klaus following close behind before he starts dashing and I barely make it through with everything as he falls backwards, hitting the invisible barrier. "Sorry, Klaus. I can't have you killing any your siblings." I say, adding the ingredients to the bowl and mixing them with the white oak stake and light the bowl on fire, it slowly solidifying as I chant. "Sunseto Exitos Originales. Sunseto Exitos Originales. Sunseto Exitos Originales." I chant and put use the Stake as my paint brush and draw a Crescent on the wall of entrance. "The boundary spell will cease at sundown." I say as Klaus glares at me.

It's nighttime after the spell has been broken as I arrive to the Compound with Elijah after Klaus exiled Rebekah, letting her live and Elijah throws Marcel. "Good evening. I trust I need no introduction." Elijah says, walking around and looks at everyone. "After all, this was once my family home. Tonight I'm taking it back." He says and turns around to look at Marcel, walking towards him. "Marcellus, out of respect for my sister, I will grant you this one mercy. I will allow you to keep your life." He says, pointing at him. "However, you're hereby exiled." Elijah says and turns around, quickly but gracefully, walking away from Marcel. "If I so much as find a trace of you in the French Quarter, it will not end well for you. Do you understand?" Elijah asks, turning to face Marcel and back to the other vampires. "That is all. Run along." I say, crossing my arms at them and they start heading out.
