Game on

Bethan is standing in front of a mirror, trying to fasten the zipper on the vintage wedding dress she's found. Elijah appears at the door behind her. "Would you like some help?" He asked the brunette smiles "You might need to use all your vampire strength." She joked "Allow me." Elijah stands behind her and begins to fasten her zipper and buttons "Thanks. Not too many pregnant Casket Girls, I guess." Bethan looked at her self in the mirror

"I think you look lovely. Only I would..." He touches the birthmark on her neck, and she covers it with her hand. "I know, keep the freaky werewolf birthmark covered." Elijah was being so over protective as she was his child or sister. "Well, I don't suspect any of the riff-raff here would dare lay a hand on you, knowing you're under the protection of my family. Still, you shouldn't take any chances." Elijah informed her Bethan looks at herself in the mirror and sighs
"All knocked up and nowhere to go." She joked "You know... if you wanted the attend the festivities tonight, I would be more than willing to take you." He original offered.

Bethan smiled "Hmm... you and Klaus are barely on speaking terms. Let's not rock the boat, okay?" Declining the offer Elijah was mildly disappointed he and everyone knew Bethan loved a good party "Of course." He turns to leave, but she stops him before he reaches the door "Elijah, do you mind?" Beth gestures at her zipper, so Elijah walks over to her and undoes the buttons and zipper for her before he takes off.

Klaus and Marcel are in the living room discussing their current predicament "You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to know the obvious. Our secret weapon has escaped." Klaus stated "She wouldn't just leave. She knows the witches want her back." Marcel reminded him Elijah appears from around the corner, and Marcel turns towards him "Her violin is missing. She may have left of her own volition." The elder Mikaelson confirmed "What did you say to her in the attic? She lied to my face so she could stay up there, thinking that you'd help her control her magic. How do we know you didn't take her?" Marcel was blaming Elijah

"I have no idea where Davina is, or why she ran away. Can I suggest you take a step back" Marcel eyes him for a moment before turning away "I can assure you I have absolutely no desire to see that child come into harm's way. She's suffered enough with this Harvest ritual nonsense." Elijah honestly admitted "That child, to whom you refer to so affectionately, is the most powerful witch in New Orleans. If she's fled, what's to stop her from destroying us? In fact, destroying all we've worked for? No, if she's not a friend to this family, then she is our enemy." Klaus growled

"She is a friend, Klaus." Marcel stated as Bethan passed through the living with breakfast "maybe someone let it slip that that the wicked witch of New Orleans was dead" Bethan smirked causing klaus and marcel to get riled. "What did you do you filthy mutt" Marcel yells at her and even though Klaus is mad at her right now he comes to her rescue "back off Marcel" he instructs "you went after my family and I'll destroy the one you created" she smiled sweetly at the vampire before going to the courtyard "Well, let's hope so. Lucky for you, I know how to get her back. Follow my lead." Klaus leaves, and Marcel is about to follow when Elijah stops him "You know how Niklaus operates. If he perceives a threat, he can become quite ruthless. This would not bode well for Davina." Elijah reminded the former king
"I'm not going to let anybody lay a finger on her." Elijah agrees "Nor will I."
