Chapter 13
Vamp- arrest

Bethan sat at the breakfast table, eating the current craving for today, strawberries and peanut butter "that's disgusting" Rebekah commented "says the girl who drinks blood?" Bethan points out "yes but not making up weird concoctions" The blonde adds "hey I got eat, and this is what your niece wants today okay?" Carrying on eating when Klaus shows up. "Good your here, as of
Recent events and the fact the witches cannot be trusted you will not be leaving the compound" He orders her and Bethan starts laughing "I'm sorry did you just give me a order?" She asks in disbelief "I believe I did for your safety and our daughters" trying to convince her. "I'm starting to feel like a damn incubator" Bethan had lost all of her marbles standing up launching the bowl she had across the courtyard smashing against the wall, she proceeded to stomp up the stairs mumbling something on the lines of "big bad wolf my ass, wanting to order me about. Bastard" Klaus looks towards his sister wondering what the hell went on. "Hormones, she cried last night for 20 minutes when she dropped a spoon" Klaus nods in acceptance noting to stay away from her.

Elijah walks into Davina's old bedroom, where he finds Beth looking at Davina's old sketches
"There you are." The teen shrugs "Here I am." Elijah gestures to the sketches "Davina's drawings." He asked "Yeah. Morbid, I know. I was just thinking... we never figured out why she drew those pictures of Celeste. Anyway, I'm just killing time, now that I'm on vampire lock-down." She complained "Whoever did this, we will deal with them. It won't be long." Elijah tells her "I'm not worried. Just think it's kind of funny that it took some big, supernatural threat for you and Klaus to even come into the same room as me." Bethan felt alone, klaus had once told her he'd protect her, that he liked to be around her well he lied

"I do apologize if you feel neglected. I have been occupied. My siblings are in some quarrel. Niklaus remains agitated. You'll recall that even our slightest interactions seem to infuriate him." Elijah reminds her and she didn't understand why it bothered him so much she saw Elijah in a fatherly older brother way
"So Klaus is a dick, and you want to be a good big brother. So we can't hang out. That sum it up? I get it, Elijah. It just seems like a really crappy deal." Bethan points out.

Bethan and Elijah are in the courtyard. Beth watches as Elijah tries to call Rebekah "Rebekah is not answering her calls." He informs the teen "You worried about whoever killed those daywalkers still being out there?" Bethan asks "Frankly, I'm worried that she had something to do with this. She's very displeased with Niklaus, perhaps even conspiring with others." Elijah notices Thierry drinking alone at a table and joins him

"Thierry, is it?" Elijah fully knew his name "That's right." Continuing his drink "My sister is rather fond of you. Strange, she's not typically drawn to unremarkable men. Would you care to explain your sudden magnetism?" Elijah asked or more like accused "I don't know what you're--" the original annoyed, cuts him off by grabbing him by the throat and pushing him against the wall "You can either tell me what you know, or I can distribute tiny pieces of you throughout the Quarter." He threatens Thierry sighs "She asked me to keep an eye out on witch stuff. I found something, and when I showed her, we were jumped by some guy. He desiccated her with his touch." The vampire shrugged which didn't help Bethan's mood
Elijah was beyond angry "Like a coward, you left her." "What was I supposed to do, fight some warlock that took out an Original?" Bethan did agree he had a far point.

"Where was this, exactly?" The english man questioned "The docks, warehouse 57. I was just doing what she asked. You cannot tell Klaus about this." He was scared about what Klaus would do. Elijah waits a moment before snapping his neck and allowing his body to drop to the floor "I shall take that into consideration." Beth was now worried about the blonde "I'm coming with you." She demands
"No. Stay here. The compound is safe." Elijah tired to keep her out of trouble " A) it wasn't s question and B) Rebekah is in trouble. I'm going." She says again. Elijah pauses for a moment and sighs "Do not leave my sight Understand?" Bethan smiled and  nods, and the two leave for the docks.

Bethan and Elijah arrive to where Rebekah's body was left and immediately run toward her. Elijah is also on the phone with Sophie, who is still with the other bodies. "Rebekah!" He exclaims
He goes to kneel next to her, but can't cross the barrier made by the salt "Oh, what's happening?" Bethan asks "Some kind of boundary spell. Someone is channeling her. Typically, it's a lethal process, but because she's an Original, she can't die. Instead, she's an endless source of power." Elijah explained "So what are we supposed to do?" Was the brunettes next question "You have to get her out of there." Elijah tells her, Bethan tried to step forward but it wasn't allowing her to pass either.

A panicked Elijah is still on the phone with Sophie and is trying to figure out how to break the magical boundary

E: You're not listening. We cannot enter the circle. There's some kind of confinement spell... If I can't remove her, we can't break the link.

S: It's a convoluted spell. It's like a witch's recipe. You can spoil the balance by adding a more potent ingredient. A mystical binding agent. I don't know, volcanic ash, rock salt... anything up to and including eye of newt.

E: What about the blood of a witch?

S:Do you have the blood of a witch?

Elijah turns to Bethan "I need a favor." He tells her and Bethan nods immediately understanding "The baby. She's a quarter witch." She reminds her self Bethan gives Elijah her wrist, and he gingerly bites it to draw blood. They walk towards the magic circle together. Elijah holds out Beth's wrist and lets the blood fall on the magic boundary line. It starts to fizzle and deteriorate. Elijah is able to get through, and he quickly picks up Rebekah and takes her out of the circle. He reaches for Beth's hand, and then he vamp-speeds out of there with Rebekah and Bethan in tow

Elijah took Bethan back to the compound "it would be in everyone's best interest if Klaus didn't find out about today's adventure" Elijah tells her "believe me I know, and besides I've been sneaking out of my own house since I was 8". She smirked causing the original to laugh.
