After a while of Davina living at the compound, things started to turn terrible for Davina. The power that she'd had from all the dead Harvest girls was presenting itself. First, the compound shook. Then she began coughing up black dirt. Then she began to feel weak at one point.



Everyone was in the living room at the compound, talking about what was happening.

"This is madness. How can a 16-year-old girl shake the entire French Quarter?" Klaus inquired.

"I don't know. Maybe because she has the magic from three Harvest girls that never resurrected, because your so-called friend stopped The Harvest," Katherine said.

"Yes, well, the point is in her present state, she's useless as a tool against the witches," Klaus replied to his former doppelganger.

"She's not a tool, Klaus. She's a scared teenager that doesn't know what's happening to her," Kat reminded him.

"Something's wrong with her," Klaus stated.

"She has too much power that she cannot control. This much we already knew. But why is it manifesting itself in such an aggressive manner?" Elijah wanted to know.

"It's presenting itself like this, because these are signs that we need to do something. The Harvest was working, according to Sophie, until Marcel interrupted it. The magic was supposed to flow through Davina and back into the earth," Katherine explained.

"You seem to know more about this than the rest of us, so tell us. What the bloody hell is a Harvest?" Rebekah wanted to know.

"It's a tradition passed down through many generations. You've never heard of it, because a lot of people always thought of it as a myth. Kind of like folklore of werewolves to normal people that don't know they actually exist. Sophie didn't even believe until she saw it firsthand. If Sophie can become a believer in it, anyone can. I know you all have issues trusting witches, but Sophie wouldn't lie about The Harvest. She's never lied to me before. She wouldn't start now. I'd never put a child in danger purposely, but the sacrifice has to happen. We've seen the Earth sign. The other signs will be Wind and Fire. If she isn't sacrificed, as much as I hate this, vampires will be the only ones left to argue. We need to agree though, and I have to talk to Davina about it. She'll understand, because it'll be coming from me."

"Since when do you know so much about magic?" Rebekah wanted to know.

"Sophie and I have been close for years. We've shared a lot about our lives with one another. One reason why she already knew at least two of you when you arrived here. We've never lied to each other. That, and there's something none of you ever knew about me. I'm descended from Travelers, though my father stopped his practice when he married my mother. And, well, we have a little something common with our fathers. I never learned the Traveler ways, but I always knew that I was descended from them. The only thing I know are the little things I read about. Sometimes he'd leave some of his books lying around when I was little," she explained. Then she told them, "I'm going to go talk to Davina."

Klaus, Elijah, and Rebekah all watched her leave to go talk to the young witch. She was right. None of them had known that part of her. Klaus and Elijah had only known about the doppelganger part. Rebekah only knew about the history between Katherine and her two older brothers.

It was dark outside, but it wasn't quite Katerina's bedtime yet. She was only six years old, so she was curious, seeing that her father had left out a few books. Her father had never said that she couldn't touch his books so, being curious at six years old, she sat in his chair that was at his table. Then she began to read. That's when she learned that the books were about magic and spells.
