Battle (The Originals Fan Fic)

ch. 16: Farewell to Storyville

The Originals had been trapped in Lafayette Cemetery all day today.

Klaus had been trying to kill Rebekah.

Elijah had been trying to stop him.

Klaus let Rebekah go her own way.

The witches wanted Davina back with them.

Marcel was going to give her to them.

Now, at the abattoir, all of the vampires were gathered in the courtyard when Klaus returned home. "Is there a reason why you lot are loitering in my home?"

"I asked them to be here," Marcel told him, walking closer. "You and I need to settle this out in the open."

Klaus turned to face him. "I thought you would've run off by now."

"Yeah, well, this is my town," Marcel told him. "You may want me to beg forgiveness, but I'm not sorry. I may not be able to beat you, but I came here to face you, to end this in front of my people. If you're gonna kill me for that, get on with it."

Klaus turned around and walked away, walking upstairs.

Everyone was confused.

Elijah appeared, rushing toward Marcel, throwing him against the wall, making him fall to the floor. He looked around. "Good evening. I trust I need no introduction." Marcel stood. "After all, this was once my family home. Tonight, I'm taking it back. Your privileges here have been revoked. Marcellus, out of respect for my sister, I will grant you this one mercy." He pointed at him. "I will allow you to keep your life. However, you're hereby exiled." He turned away, stepping further into the courtyard. "If I so much as find a trace of you in the French Quarter, it will not end well for you. Do you understand?" He looked around. "That is all. Run along."

Everyone started to leave.

Klaus looked at Elijah from the balcony. "Nicely done, brother. You're beginning to sound like me. I'm impressed."

Everyone left the compound.
