"No need to be frightened. If he wanted to kill you, he would already have." Marcel said and exited the ring he needed to find Elijah or to inform Klaus.

------------------------

The Original walked towards the outskirts of New Orleans finally none of his brother's or Marcel's lackeys were following him. He knew some out casted witch lived here, even though chances of removing Freya's spell by a local witch was low to none, even so there was no harm to give it a try.

Elijah entered a shop; he was told that the witch he was seeking lived here. A woman in her late 30's was sitting on the counter; as soon as Elijah entered her shop, the witch was on her guard either to fight or run as she sensed the Original.

The Mikaelson smiled at her, which was not at all convincing for the witch. Even, Elijah's reputation precedes him no one knows when the noble Original enters with the intend to kill or to just talk.

"What does an Original Vampire doing out at the outskirts?" she asked, Elijah walked in looking around the shop, and then smirked at the witch,

"You know me!" the original mused, "and may I know your name?" he asked, he could hear the witch heartbeat rapidly beating,

The witch cleared her throat, "It's Maria" she answered,

"So, Maria I've heard that you are a powerful witch but shunned from your coven." He spoke looking around the voodoo shop, she raised her eyebrows at his back "Don't worry it's not like it matters to me much." He added further,

"See, I need a help with a spell," he said and turned around now facing the standing witch,

"Now why would a Mikaelson needs help from a witch like me. I'm sure your sister and niece are powerful witches." She said, she felt little relaxed assuming the ancient vampire was really here to talk, at least she hoped so.

"Indeed, they are powerful enough! And I'm well aware of that, but still I'm here so..." he shrugged raising his eyebrows towards her. She nodded and got it the vampire needed someone else then his family, but why? She thought,

"What do you need my help with? Elijah." Maria asked, she was now totally relaxed, but was not letting his guard down.

Elijah studied the witch, she could be powerful but how much was still a question, "Look Maria, my older sister Freya has placed a spell on me and that forbids me to leave this city's borders." He paused, waiting for some positive reactions instead she looked at him with wide eyes and in confusion,

He continued, "So, I want to know can you undo the spell or at least disable it for few minutes?" he asked, hopefully

Now said, Maria could feel the strong barrier around the Original, she looked at him, "I don't think I'm powerful enough to do so, see your sister uses ancient magic and is a powerful Mikaelson witch." she said, she was feeling bad for the ancient vampire,

Even before coming, Elijah didn't have much hope either way, but still listening from the witch was actually depressing,

The Original was silent for few moments before asking, "Do you know anyone, who could be powerful enough to do so?" he asked,

She thought for few seconds, "I don't think local witch could be any help to you. There is a good chance that the witch reagent can be some help. If anyone is powerful enough to try it, it should him," the witch answered thoughtfully

Elijah visibly sighed rolling his eyes, "Ah! Vincent Griffith! That's just wonderful!" he exclaimed, pinching his nose bridge,

"Why? Do you've problem with that?" the witch asked curious at the Original's reaction,
