Mistress of Death Amongst Immortals

Black, Blue, Red

Meanwhile, Elena was spying on those she considered the enemy. She feels these people have taken everything away from her. Everything she felt like she deserved. Stefan was supposed to worship the ground she walked on with his elder brother not that far behind. Bonnie was supposed to be at her beck and call with her magic, and Caroline was the expendable friend. But, now, Elena has nobody. Her aunt, brother/cousin, and father figure have also turned their backs on her and moved closer to Alaric's new teaching job on the same campus Jenna attended.

Elena watched from her hiding spot as Damon's car drove away from the Potter residence before she went to knock on the door. She wanted to speak with Stefan, knowing he was here and not at the boarding house. She would know; Elena has ventured into the house that should've belonged to her once she was back with Stefan. She just has to get him away from those people and hopefully break the spell they have on him. Denying the fact Stefan feels nothing for the delusional girl. Taking a deep breath and knocking, tapping her foot impatiently.

A few moments later, the front door opens, and Elena is greeted with the emotionless face of Narcissa Malfoy. Her expression changes to sneer at the girl, "Can I help you?" Elena tries her best to make herself look meek, but she is not fooling anyone, "Is Stefan here by any chance? I tried his home, but he wasn't there." Narcissa internally rolled her eyes before answering, "You are not welcome here." Then proceeded to shut the door in the doppelganger's face. Stefan was in the sitting room with Luna listening to the spirited girl talk about strange and fascinating creatures she and her father have come across. He also half paid attention to Elena being rejected and his already present smile grew.

Elena huffed as she walked home. She didn't see the eyes of the Original Witch following her. Opening the front door, Elena heard someone clear their throat behind her. "Good morning, Elena. I think it's time for you and I to talk," Esther's smile unnerved the doppelganger. "Do I know you?" Elena closed her door. Esther chuckled, "No, but I know you. The doppelganger who has lost everything. How would you like to get revenge on those who wronged you?" Elena's smile matched that of Esther's. However, what Elena didn't know is Esther plans to kill the girl thus ending her bloodline.

"If we had been to New Orleans before, we could have used a portkey. At least we're not squished," Leilani sat in the backseat looking out the window. Damon drove like a bat out of hell, only stopping for bathroom breaks and food. The normally 14-hour drive took a little over 8 with Damon breaking several traffic laws. Leilani and Bill spent that time reviewing the book entries, noting all the activity in New Orleans.

Leilani leaned into the front between the seats to speak with Klaus, "We're more than likely going to enter a war zone. The amount of harmful magic in the city is immense. Too much just for a few to be casting a spell here and there." Klaus thought for a moment, "Good thing we're meeting with Marcellus first. It would not surprise me if he's somehow in the middle of it." The Original Hybrid thought about his adoptive son and the overwhelming feeling of resentment coming from him. "Also, we will secure our living quarters for the time being while we're here," Klaus was thinking of the Plantation House the Originals resided before the compound was built.

Finally, after 7 stops and two naps Damon pulled up to the Plantation House. Klaus had called as they were leaving Mystic Falls for a cleaning crew to get the home ready. He didn't want to waste time when having to dust the place even with the use of magic. "We'll drop our bags then find Marcellus," Klaus led everyone inside. He had Damon and Lei follow him to the master bedroom where they would be sleeping. The three of them have acknowledged they are mates but have not officially gone on a date as a triad. However, they have become accustomed to sleeping in the same bed since Damon's transition to a Lycan/Vampire hybrid.
