Phoenix Rising

2:17: Soul Survivor

It's the middle of the night as I slowly wake up next to Kol to hear Hope crying and I walk into her room to see Rebekah standing there, looking at her as Hope has stopped crying. "Hi, what's going on, Bex?" I ask as I see her trying to take the baby and Hayley rushes in. "Get away from her!" She exclaims and runs over to her, throwing Rebekah on the ground and we go to reach Hope but get flung by magic to hit the dresser in Hayley's bedroom and we quickly get up. "Rebekah, what are you doing?!" Klaus exclaims and we hear him scream and run in as he's on his knees from the migraine spell and Hayley starts getting choked with magic as I wave my hand to throw Rebekah at a wall and Klaus manages to use his nails to scratch into her thigh as she gets up, about to take Hope as I help Hayley up and she leaps out the window after flinging Klaus across the wall and we all pant as Hope looks at us. "Well, shit." I say as we all sigh.

We're in Klaus' study with Marcel and Kol as Klaus gets the anti-magic shackles from his safe and walks over to Marcel. "I should really stop packing these away. There's always one family member or another in need of a good shackling." He says, handing the shackles to Marcel. "Find Rebekah, or Eva, or whoever the bloody hell that was. Use these to stop her from doing magic. And don't hurt her. The non psychopathic bits are still my sister." Klaus says. "Well, most of them anyway." Kol says, grinning and I roll my eyes at him. "Alright, I won't be the onlyone looking for her. She killed witch kids. The twenty four hour hold that Elijah got the covens to agree to? Ended at midnight. Every witch in the city is gonna be gunning for her." Marcel says and Klaus sighs, taking a step back and holds one finger up, looking at Hayley. "Go to Elijah. Get him to charm his elderly witch into calling off the hunt." He says. "And leave Hope? Don't you think I should stay here and protect our daughter?" Hayley asks, shaking her head, annoyed. "Jackson has been working night and day to secure this compound, surrounding it with his werewolf army. Not to mention the fact that I'm here, and I know the best way to protect our child is to get Rebekah out of that serial killer's body and back into the Original model." Klaus says, frustrated. "Hm. And what will you be doing while we're doing all the dirty work?" Hayley asks, putting her hands on her hips and Klaus turns away from us, walking around. "Why, tending to the even dirtier work, as usual." He says.

Elijah, Gia, Hayley and I are at Ms. LaRue's house as we wait for her, standing awkwardly and Hayley clears her throat with her arms crossed since Gia and Elijah are a thing. "I'm gonna go see if I can find Josephine." Gia says, smiling and looks at me. "I'll with you." I say and walk off with her in search of Ms. LaRue.

We soon return with Ms. LaRue, back to her living room. "Madam LaRue." Elijah says as he and Hayley stand up and he walks over to her. "Mr. Mikaelson." LaRue says and Elijah kissed her cheeks and she walks to her arm chair. "Have you come to impress me once more with young Gia's rare talents?" She asks, sitting down and we see Hayley scowl. "What, pray tell, does this one do?" LaRue asks, looking at Elijah. "This one is family, madame. And the biological older sister of young Adam. However, she is not a witch, I'm afraid." Elijah says and walks over to LaRue, smiling. "But we've come to ask a favor." He says.

We're sitting down around Ms. LaRue and talking about Eva Sinclair. "But, if Eva is back in control of her body.. you need to let the witches put that body down. Eva will use up your sister." She says as she looks at Elijah. "Just like she did the others." She says. "The others?" I ask, confused. "Children went missing two years ago and Eva was a wild beauty practicing a wild magic. But, she and Vincent were so happy, we let them be." LaRue says. "And that's when the children began to disappear." Elijah says. "First was a little girl named Amelie Dupree from Algiers. Then, Lou-Anne Hughes from the 9th, Nicholas Alseis from the Tremé. Cloaking spells were performed on the children too quickly, but because of Vincent's tenacity, she was caught. He was able to put a locator spell on one of the children before he got snatched. Nothing at first. But then a car and her face. She pleaded with him about only needing three more. To complete the Rite of Nines." LaRue says. "The Rite of Nines?" Gia asks, confused. "Eva thought if she sacrificed a witch from each of the nine covens, it would create a new witch order in New Orleans. She would have been more powerful than any Elder or Harvest Girl." LaRue says. "But why children?" Elijah asks. "Because their magic is untapped. It's pure. And, they're a hell of a lot easier to subdue." LaRue says. "That's why she went after my baby." Hayley says as we all look at her. "She would have killed your daughter, channeled her powers, as she did with those other poor children. She killed them and they were used as a source of her magic because they were not consecrated into the earth. We agree she must be stopped. No more of our youth will die." LaRue says and stands up. "That is why, Mr. Mikaelson, I will not extend your twenty four hours." She says and Hayley and I glance at Elijah. "Eva Sinclair now has a bounty on her head." LaRue says. "You would condemn my sister to her death?" He asks, outraged and points at her. "I dislike the term 'collateral damage', but there it is. If one or two must fall to take Eva down for good? So be it." LaRue says.
