[voiceover] "My siblings and I are the first vampires in history, the Originals. Three hundred years ago, we helped to build the city of New Orleans. We were happy here, a family. Recently, a coven of witches lured my brother back, using his unborn children as leverage. I tried to help him, but he betrayed me to his enemy, the vampire, Marcel. Since then, I've been held prisoner by a powerful witch. My brother seeks to manipulate others to procure my release, but I have my own plan. If this witch proves to be an enemy, I will stop her. By whatever means necessary" Elijah says.
...St Anne's Church...
Elijah is standing in Davina's room in the attic, where he is standing in front of Davina as the two stare at each other. His skin is gray and mottled still from not feeding during the months he was daggered, and he can't help but focus on Davina's pulsing carotid artery as a result of his hunger. Davina seems unfazed.
"You're the one they call honorable" Davina says.
"Yes, that's what they call me. And yet, I followed my brother here to New Orleans to engage in a war. So, I ask you...does that sound honorable to you?" Elijah asks.
"You don't look well" Davina says concerned.
"Well, only this morning, I had a mystical dagger embedded in my chest, so I'd say I'm holding myself together quite well" He pauses for a beat "Davina, I believe that you and I have the power to end a war between witches and vampires before it truly begins. I, by keeping my brother in line, you, by behaving like your true self...not some tool for Marcel or the witches" he says.
"And why should I trust you?" she asks.
"Well, for one thing, in spite of a ravenous hunger, I have not tried to take your blood" he says.
"Why not? I'm the only one here" Davina shrugged.
"Even in my present condition, I would not feed from a child" he says.
Davina takes a hat pin and pricks her finger with it. A drop of blood clings to the tip of it, and she places the drop on Elijah's lip. He licks the drop of blood off of his lower lip, and after a moment, Elijah's skin returns to it's normal complexion. Davina looks pleased and smiles at him.
