Mistress of Death Amongst Immortals

Black, Blue, Red

In New Orleans, a pacing Marcel tells his most loyal daywalkers what happened when he was taken. Thiery questions, "You met Death?" Marcel stops pacing, "Met him and was warned about the witches uprising. His reapers have been clearing out the Other Side which has made the witches very angry." Thiery nodded, "And now they're scrambling to keep their ancestors' power." Marcel nodded as he poured himself a drink then slammed the glass down, "These new witches though. The magic I watched them do was like nothing I have ever seen." "Do you think they're a threat?" Thiery seemed to be speaking for the others. Marcel refilled his glass, "They're aligned with the Mikaelsons."

Marcel shakes his head, "I just know things are going to change."

Damon made his way to the Lockwood home wanting to speak with Carol in regard to the council. When the door opens, Carol gives the vampire a tight-lipped smile, "Damon? How can I help you?" Damon could see the woman wanted to slam the door in his face, "Carol, I wanted to speak to you about the goings on of the council. You see, after the actions of some of the council members, myself and others don't feel safe. So...The majority of us will be leaving town. Those staying behind will be treated with respect or...Well, you catch my drift." Carol stiffened, "Did you just threaten me?" Damon smirked, "Not a threat. Farewell Carol, hope to never see you again."

Minerva walked into the sitting room, sitting down and calling for a meeting. Once everyone was in the magically enlarged room, Minerva called for everyone's attention, "It seems a trip to New Orleans is needed." Leilani and Bill notice she's holding the book for monitoring magic. Bill asked, "How many entries?" The three wand wielders could see most of the occupants were confused. Leilani explains, "We created a book that monitors magic. It covers the entire world, but it appears New Orleans is very active." Minerva nodded, "Miss Potter is quite right." She opens the book to review the entries, "Oh my, there's already a new one. And it's blue."

"Miss McGonagall? What do the colors mean?" Elijah asked. "Black is safe or harmless. Red is harmful. And blue is accidental. Now, the blue entries are the ones we are concerned about. Majority of the time it may be an adult who has little to no control of their magic. However, there have been cases of children under the age of ten exhibiting magic," Minerva replied. Jeremy spoke up, "And if they come from families who don't have magic, they may be in danger of abuse." "Quite right Mister Gilbert," Minerva agreed.

Damon clapped his hands, "Well, I'm up for a road trip. Who's going with me?" Leilani, Bill, and Klaus decided to go with Damon after Leilani made a copy of the book. "We'll check in with Marcellus while we're there." Kol rolled his eyes, he never really cared for the boy his brother adopted. Kol just wanted to get back to the library. He feels he is close to figuring out how to get his magic back. Rebecka and the Malfoys were going out of town for some shopping. Elijah had been researching wizarding laws and customs, he found them quite fascinating. Finn wanted to get back to the Sanctuary. It reminded him of his human days and working with his hands. He was also anxiously waiting for Freya to awaken.

As the group was getting ready to leave, Luna handed Lei a bag, "A peace offering for the vampires." Lei looked in the bag and smiled, "Thank you, Luna. I'm sure they'll love them." She hugged her friend then walked out the door to Damon's car. He asked Lei, "What's in the bag?" She showed him and he laughed, "She's looking out for us." "Why is that?" Klaus was curious. Lei pulled one of them out, "There's a few hundred in here." Klaus has seen his eldest brother eat these Blood Pops but has not tried one himself. He shrugs, pulls the wrapper off, and pops it in his mouth and is pleasantly surprised. "Now, I understand why Finn likes these so much," Klaus sighs, "He will never accept his vampirism. If he could be human again, Finn would in a heartbeat."
