Outside Abattoir, Evening

SILENCE. The cold air burned her throat every time she inhaled, her cheeks feeling like they were being stabbed where tear streams once were.

Crying was a weakness. She had learned that the hard way through trial and error. Any expression of emotion either then anger truly was, everything showed vulnerability. And warriors could not have the pleasantries of vulnerability.

Turning the corner that would lead her to the doors of the abattoir, Mazeki had to admit she was slightly caught off guard when two young faces seemingly popped out of no where.

Josh and Davina stood rigid, both having a look that could only resemble deers. They had planned a fast and simple escape, undetected by a building of vampires. Yet they were caught, by the one vampire that was suppose to be gone.

Josh took a step forward, moving his body in front of Davina a little as he attempted to get them out of this."I was just uh- well taking Davina to see a um-"

Though the Heretic had none of it, not even giving the young vampire a glance as she stared at Davina. She could see it, the same burning passion in her eyes the Mazeki wasn't held. She saw a younger version of herself for the first time in years, and she was frightened by the results.

Davina however was the opposite, looking at Mazeki she spotted a very possible reality for her future. A betrayed woman, who was hurt from the many memories of her past. However didn't shy away from this thought, she embraced it. Even the mess she looked with tear stains and dirty clothes there was no doubt the Mazeki Mikaelson was one of the strongest beings known to man.

Davina wanted to be like her when she was older.

"Save your teenage ramblings, I don't have the energy to search through it for something coherent." Mazeki snipped, Scoffing at the twos stupidity of leaving like this. Escaping a Mikaelson demanded a plan, one thought out. Not something spare of the moment.

Davina stared unfazed at her, crossing her arms over her chest while tilting her head. "Agnes is dead."

"I'm aware."

"She was the last Elder, and you didn't tell me." Davina hissed, her words near a whisper as she leaned forward. The lights above them flickering as she did so.

If that was Davina or Mazeki, neither knew.

"Now that? I was, unaware of." It was the blondes turn to shake her head, cursing either of her brothers  for not being more towards with their information. Of course the factor that a witch slaughtered by their noble brother was an elder held no regard to idiots like her siblings.

Looking between the two of them, she monitored Josh's body language. One arm still slightly out despite being so young, he'd protect Davina. And Davina would kill whoever Josh was trying to protect her from.

Sighing, she reaches inside her jacket, pulling out a phone that Davina was sure a normal Original would have. It was covered, in gemstones and with a charm. "There's two numbers saved on this phone, call the one with the number two in the name when you get somewhere safe. Let me know you aren't dead before tomorrow." She offered it out.

"You're not going to stop us?" Davina wondered, surprised.

"I tried running from my family, and while I do not think you'll succeed I believe you deserve a chance to try." Mazeki shrugged, watching as Davina accepted the phone with no hesitance. Trust. Davina trusted her."If she does not remain in one piece it shall be your head I hang Jeffery."

"It's actually, Josh. I can uh see why-"

"Enough." She waved him off dismissively, walking closer to Davina and leaning down to her height. Both beings met each other's eye."Good luck, believe me you'll need it."
