Devil ♡Elijah Mikaelson♡ [2]

Chapter 15: Devil's Sister

Rebekah, is wandering around a street bazaar full of witches selling various wares as she talks to her brothers and Coney via a three-way phone call. Klaus is standing on the balcony overlooking the courtyard, watching as four werewolves spar with each other, while Elijah is looking through his closet for a suit to wear for the day, Coney on their bed in only a thin piece of lingerie.

"Enough already with the family squabbling! Come on, Nik! Even you can see that the situation has become awkward!" Rebekah says.

"There's nothing awkward about it! Hayley and Hope belong in the compound where they are safe. As much as I would like Elijah's help to kill Finn, but they refuse!" Klaus says.

"As I have explained to you repeatedly, brother, my presence here in Algiers is purely to assemble allies, and for a new start. And given all the enemies we have afoot in the form of wayward siblings and ancient, maniacal aunt Dahlias, I would think that you would applaud my efforts," Elijah says and Coney smiles at her husband.

Klaus mockingly says, "Well, if it's my applause you seek, you shouldn't have dashed off in a bloody huff!" Elijah, frustrated, gestures angrily with his arms, though Klaus obviously cannot see him from the French Quarter, and Coney goes behind him and encircles her arms around his waist, having him breath with her. Rebekah sighs and tries to get them back on track.

"Alright, can you two at least try and stay focused on what's best for Hope's safety?" Coney says after calming Elijah down.

"I would like nothing more!" Elijah says, his voice cutting like a knife.

"I am doing exactly that!" Klaus says

"See? You're on the same team," Coney says, smiling patronizingly, and Rebekah snorts.

" Conflict resolved, crisis averted," Rebekah says and she hands up the phone.

Elijah turns around and pouts, saying, "He doesn't understand."

Coney laughs and kisses him, saying against his lips, "I do."

"I love you," Elijah says, and Coney smirks, kissing him again.

"I know," She says,walking away from the tall man to get dressed and ready for the day.

Elijah and Coney rush into the loft looking concerned, and Elijah asks his sister, "Are you alright?"

Rebekah walks over to him while Marcel pinches the bridge of his nose in annoyance]

"Barely. The attackers knew me, Elijah. Not me-me, but-" She says as she gestures at her body. "-this. Her. Whoever she is..." She looks at Elijah anxiously. "They want her dead."

Elijah doesn't seem pleased by this news and Coney walks over to Marcel, saying, "Then we find them and show them why their anger is..." Coney trails off.

"Unnwise?" Elijah offers, and Coney nods and points at him.

"Yes. Unwise. That's the word," She says.

"You don't want to mess with that crowd, alright? We want answers, we need to ask Josephine LaRue. She serves as matriarch to the covens outside the Quarter. She'll know who wants Rebekah dead," Marcel says and Rebekah looks at him quizzically.

"How can you be sure?" Rebekah asks.

"She bankrolls Fauline Cottage," Marcel says and Elijah looks at him in surprise. "She'll know who you are and why you were locked up in there."

"And what if she wants to lock me right back up? I won't go back to that horrid place-" Rebekah says but Elijah interrupts her.

"The two of you go and see what you can find about this body you now possess. I shall pay a visit to Josephine with Coney," Elijah says and Coney nods.He cups Rebekah's face with his hand. "A warning. You are not who you once were. This body is all too vulnerable." Rebekah rolls her eyes in frustration as Elijah and Coney head for the door. Marcel looks anxious as he calls out after him.
