--------------------------------------- French Quarter, The Abattoir Yard Marcel POV
A dinner table is set up in the yard my closest people are gathered around it. Klaus calls for everyone's attention to give a speech by tapping his cup with a fork. "Let us begin with a toast to our shared gift: immortality. After a thousand years, one might expect life to be less keenly felt, for its beauties and its sorrows do diminish with time. But, as vampires, we feel more deeply than humans could possibly imagine" he spoke gesturing toward a group of waiters and waitresses to have them join them at the table, one for each guest.
"Insatiable need, exquisite pain.." The servants slit their wrists with knives, filling the cups with blood for the vampires. "Our victories, and our defeats." He looked directly at me rubbing it in "..To my city, my home again. May the blood never cease to flow..."
"..and the party never end!" I announced, Diego raised his glass "To New Orleans." He toasted
"I understand that some of you may have questions regarding the recent change in leadership, and I invited you here tonight to assure you that you are not defeated." He continued his speech "No, my intentions moving forward are to celebrate what we have. What Marcel, in fact, took and built for this true community of vampires."
Diego looked unimpressed staring at the wolf "What about her?" he pointed "The wolf."
Klaus looked unfazed "Had you'd let me finish, Diego, you would know that there is, of course, one further matter I would like to address." He walked over to the other end of the table where Hayley sat placing a hand on her shoulder which by the look on her face was unwelcome "As many of you know, the girl is carrying my child. Consequently, I trust you will all pay her the appropriate respect. However, I understand that some of you are concerned by this vicious rumor that I intend to use the blood of our child to create hybrids. I assure you I donot."
Hayley smirkedsarcastically "Father of the year." She murmured
"It appears I will have to earn your trust. Very well, we'll eliminate the root of your anxiety." He paused a glint in his eye "You see, how I can I sire any hybrids if there are no more werewolves alive in the bayou to turn?"
Hayley looked outraged "What? Klaus, no!"
He ignored her continuing "So-- eat, drink and be merry. And, tomorrow, I suggest you have yourselves a little wolf hunt. Go ahead, have fun. Kill them all!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Abattoir Klaus POV
Marcel and I are sitting down opposite to each other in the courtyard. Discussing the quarter. "The humans have called a meeting. They're not exactly thrilled with the new status quo." I looked with a raised brow "How unfortunate for them." I commented sarcastically.
Marcel sighed "Look, it's your show now. But you wanna know how I built what I built? Politics. A little diplomacy goes a long way, especially with the human faction."
"Duly noted." I affirmed "And then there's Belle. She's a powerful weapon. At this point, I'd like to keep her close at hand. I think we should have her move in to the compound here with us. I'm curious about her"
"She can't leave the attic. I already tried to move her once." Marcel sighed , I chuckled "Yes, about that... Turns out, your little witch is quite the actress. She made a deal with Elijah while he was in captivity, tricked you into letting her stay put in exchange for some spells from our mother's grimoire."
Marcel he nodded bitterly "Good to know. Is that all?" He bit out
I smirked "I do believe it is."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Attic Room Klaus POV
Belle continued painting as marcel spoke "You're gonna love it at the compound. I already got the best room in the place picked out." She furrowed her brows smudging some paint with her hands
"I can't leave! Remember what happened last time?" She sighed, I must say her acting was impeccable.
"I know about your deal with Elijah. We can't be lying to each other. I'm trying to protect you. With the witches still looking to kill you for the Harvest, believe me, you're safest with us." I stride in smirking,
"Plus, there's excellent light in the afternoon. I see you're an artist. Wonderful! I look forward to witnessing your many talents!" She just rolled her eyes "Was this his idea?" She said unimpressed
"Belle, please. I understand you're devoted to Marcel and my brother's, but their is devoted to me. I assume you'll want what's best for all of us. We have a meeting to attend downstairs." With that I walk out to go meet the humans --------------------------------------- After the attack on the vampires at the bar I came back to my mansion to find Kol , Halely , Rebekah and Belle in the sitting room chatting and laughing. Belle was Kol was sitting with his head on her lap looking up at her angelic giggling. "Kol is she serious?" Rebekah asked impressed and shocked
"deathly she can make him do anything" he replied amused "hmmn I agree" she laughed patting his head
"by the looks of it she's got a good hold on you to" Hayley replied sassily, lol made a face "please I'm just along for the parties"
"speaking of which I have to go back soon. Oh hi Klaus" she said with a mocking welcome,I sat myself down on an armchair give her a small wave while Kol shot up looking panicked "No ! No way !"
Belle smiled putting a hand on his shoulder "Kol their my family" he cut her off quickly "Its way to dangerous dont think I haven't heard about that list !"
Belle sighed "so what my names on some stupid list they can't kill me they don't know how" Now I was just plain confused what the hell were the on about. Hailey looked over apparently noticing my confusion said
"not to interrupt a family argument but there's a confused hybrid in the corner, are you going to tell him ??" At this point I was getting annoyed they were keeping secrets from me. Belle strode over to the armchair I was in and took my hand. I felt little tingles where her small delicate hands were in contact with my rough callosed ones
Then like it was a memory I knew about the existence of the life walkers. "Now he knows" she muttered, I reluctantly let her hand slip from mine as Kol pulled her down onto his lap and lectured her on the dangers of going back .The rest of the evening was occupied by me questioning belle and Hailey and Rebekah joking with kol
