The Vampire Diaries: The New blossom

Chapter 8: Arriving safely; Not!

Elena's P.O.V

Now in New Orleans the three of us drive throught the pictch-black night, the sky has dulled down and turned to a black charcoal; the clouds are almost transparent enough, but as far as I'm concerned it's Hope and Rebekah that we should be worried about right now. I hope they're both ok. I loo forward to meeting Klaus' baby girl, Hayley must have had it rough and be struggling to cope. When the time comes for me, I won't be so much as a hint stressed; I'll be prepared.

The car starts slowing down, Elijah's expression makes it obvious that it shouldn't be happening; there's plenty of gas left, what's wrong?

"The engine stalled or something?" Hayley always have to act smart everytime she opens her mouth?

"Not funny." I look back at her; my face tells her to 'shut up.'

"Car trouble?" a male figure standing outside the car has his hand raised right in front of us.

"He's a warlock, I can sense it!" I yell quickly.

My seat belt flips itself off of me and I open my door; wait, I can't, the locks are on.

"Elijah, take the locks off."

"I didn't even put them on."

"He's doing it!" Hayley joins the conversation."

She points outdside the other side of the car, another man; a warlock, of course is standing there; he's controlling the locks, they've got us trapped. 'They won't be standing there for long.' I throw my hand out in front of me; first in front, then at the back and they are sent hurtling across the ground, until they both land with a thud.

Before we know it the three of us are out of the car, perhaps their plan was to keep us confined inside; there could be others on their way, or they could be here right now. Hayley moves at her hybrid speed to check on the unconscious body of the man standing behind the car, upon her arrival back to us her face is besmudged with shock, but she doesn't seem that surprised at what sh has just seen;

"Kol! It's him. That means that the other must've been Finn."

"Just as I feared." I reply to Hayleys information.

"So, we've been led back to a trap." Elijah sums up the whole situation.

"Indeed you have been." a voice carries towards us from the distance.

The voice belongs to a tall figure; about 6ft I assume.

"Welcome home, Elijah, Hayley." he knows them?

"Marcel, Davina!" Hayley's worry has melted away to nothing more than pure relief.

"You must be Elena." Marcel gestures towards me.

"Yes. That's right."

The five of us rush together; Marcel and Elijah greet each other with a tight embrace, Hayley and Davina hug; Hayley picks her up a little, as she is rather short. Meanwhile, for once I am the odd-one-out, I would normally be the one to greet everybody first, but this time I feel left out, meeting others is probably a little hard for me.

"Its nice to meet you. Both of you." I'm doing my very best to get to know them, it feels good.

Davina and Marcel both hug me as though I'm their teddy bear; they clearly accept me as a frend already. When they release me from their warm grasps Marcel gives a flirtatious smile; he turns to look at Elijah:

"Congratulations. You both have something special." Marcel knows.

"Did you just hear the baby?"
