13 - Crescent City

St. Anne's Church
Klaus POV

Marcel and I , are sitting next to each other, talking, while Kieran continues speaking in the background. Marcel sees someone he recognizes across the church but can't see properly.

"Problem? " Marcel shakes his head "Then pay attention. We're meant to seem like devoted parishioners. " I say jokingly

" ...and it is that hope in our hearts, and with the help of many benefactors, that allows us to be here today. So we gather with renewed spirit, made stronger, committed to the ideals of peace and love. Amen. "

While Kieran speaks an elderly frail looking old woman walks in the priest see's her and visibly pales but none else seems to notice "Amen." The people announce collectively.

   After the mass, the people filter out of the church. Kieran stands in the front of it blessing them. Marcel and I join him. "Lovely sermon this morning, Father. Quite inspirational."  " I wasn't expecting you to join us. " he says uncomfortably

" Oh, we were hoping for some word from your human sources on the recent Haitian invasion. " he looks blankly " My guys have their ears on the ground and no one has seen or heard any sign of whatever his name is. "

"He is called Papa Tunde. And right now he's wandering in the Quarter with the power he absorbed from every soul I had buried in the Garden, so you might wanna put your ear a little closer to the ground."

"Or I could steer clear of whatever war is brewing between your kind and his, before I find myself-" he was cut off as cami appeared looking angry or uncomfortable and starts to shake Kieran's hand.

" I wanted to congratulate you on getting the church up running. I can see this is a bad time. Nice to see you, Marcel." Cami said quickly before attempting to leave before Kieran calls after her

"Well, don't look at me." Marcel put up his hands "I tried to send her away."

   I look at them confused but not wanting to bother finding out what they did. My phone rings I see Diego's name flash on the screen answering I turn from the rest "Yes, Diego, what do you have for me?"

"Uh, we got a special delivery."

"Would you care to elaborate?" I asked, there is a slight pause and a nervous breath

"Either our witch problems are over, or they're just get started." I hang up turning back to Marcel and Kieran.

Courtyard
Klaus POV

Elijah squats near Papa Tunde's corpse examining it. Me and Marcel are standing beside him. I was starting to get impatient

" Can I get you anything, brother? A magnifying glass, a pipe perhaps? " I snapped he turns to look at me "You have a theory you'd like to share with us, Niklaus?" He asks a doubtful look on his face

"Back in the day, the witches wanted to send a threat, they just killed a chicken and left it on your doorstep." I said absent mindedly. He shook his head frowning "It's rather a large and ominous chicken, wouldn't you say?"

" Papa Tunde defeated Rebekah with ease, almost got the two of us as well. If he was supposed to be the prize fighter, why leave him for dead in our front yard? " I questioned they just shrugged. Then Rebekah strode in

"Well, don't you look cheery. Listen to this: A girl literally exploded from a grave today as Sabine was giving a tour of the city of the dead. It was Monique Deveraux." She said

"What? " I reply shocked. " The tourists thought it was part of the show, but the witches are celebrating like it's some kind of bloody miracle. " Everyone stared at her probably all thinking the same thing

  " Maybe it is. They think that all hope is lost, but now suddenly a Harvest girl is resurrected. This is how we're gonna get Belle back – kill the witch who took her place. "  We all nodded in agreement. Hailey strode in

" I have a theory about who one of them could be. Celeste. Mean, it's got to be. Belle  was trying to tell us, she was drawing pictures of Celeste. She was warning us that a great evil is coming. " Elijah waved her off saying " her father would have told her "

" First, Papa Tunde returns to settle old scores, now your murdered lover is back. This isn't witches attacking vampires. They're declaring war on us."
