Their Children

8. The Casket Girls

"So you neglected to tell me that you moved the last harvest girl to the quarter and now you want my help in finding her?" I question my uncle and Marcel as we sit in the living room.

"Yes, now do a locator spell so we can find her before the other witches," Marcel demands.

"One you are in no position to be demanding things from me, and two even if the other witches find her they can't finish the harvest because you need an elder to do it and I'm the closest thing they have to one and I will only go through with it as a last option."

"So your uncle can still have power and use her?"

"Because I don't believe in killing children Marcellus," I say getting up to see my father walking in.

"Her violin is missing. She may have left of her own volition," my father announced.

"What did you say to her in the attic? She lied to my face so she could stay up there, thinking that you'd help her control her magic. How do we know you didn't take her?" Marcel acusses.

"Because he only has a faint smell of Davina which he would get just by walking in her room and being in there searching for the violin, so I would suggest you take a step back."

"I can assure you I have absolutely no desire to see that child come into harm's way. She's suffered enough with this Harvest ritual nonsense."

"That child, to whom you refer to so affectionately, is the most powerful witch in New Orleans. If she's fled, what's to stop her from destroying us? In fact, destroying all we've worked for? No, if she's not a friend to this family, then she is our enemy," Nik declares.

"One she's probably terrified and trying to get away from you whom would only use her to cast her to the side and two are you underestimating my strength?"

"She is a friend, Klaus," Marcel backs me up.

"Well, let's hope so. Lucky for you, I know how to get her back. Follow my lead," well this can't be good with the way Nik says this and stalks out of the room.

Marcel follows behind but is quickly stopped by my father, "you know how Niklaus operates. If he perceives a threat, he can become quite ruthless. This would not bode well for Davina."

"I'm not going to let anybody lay a finger on her."

"Nor will we," Marcel looks back at me nodding slightly before leaving, "do you know what Nik has planned?"

"No, but hopefully it won't end in great tragedy," my father then walks out of the room and I follow after a couple seconds walking downstairs to Rebekah and Hayley.

"Don't tell me you are participating in the casket girls festivities," I sigh slightly.

"And what if we are?" Rebekah questions.

"I would tell you to be careful because Nik is planning something and I rather not have it end with someone getting killed."

"Don't worry about it, I'm sure Elijah has it all under control," I give Hayley a look asking if she actually believed that, "come on, you should come with us."

"Yeah, take a day away from Nik's curlity," Rebekah offers pulling out a dress, "and this would look great on you."

"Thank you for the offer, but we all know that if Nik is left to do any scheming it will end badly and I personally do not want to see Davina killed," I turn to walk away before pausing, "Nik put a security detail on you Hayley, you're not going anywhere anyways, but at least he used two of my hybrids. I do hope that makes it a little more comforting," I continue to walk out of the compound after that and down the street until I pick up on someone using magic and it leads me to an apartment where I sense Davina, Josh, and Cami inside. I open the door and walk in finding Davina with her hand in front of her and Cami on the floor in pain, "Davina," I say rushing over to Cami looking at what has happened, "you're frying her brain."
