STRINGS AND SCISSORS - (TW/TO/TVD crossover) [2]

05) sending a message

NEW ORLEANS, SHE'D LIKE TO THINK, WAS HER SECOND HOME, Beacon Hills being her first. She never thought of Mystic Falls as a home, it was a more like a three-four year holiday. But New Orleans...she had a life there. She had built herself a home, her own empire and whether Marcel knew it or not, she was the real queen.

With Rebekah in the bar across the street, Madeline was in the diner. Rebekah was getting herself a bottle of alcohol, meanwhile Maddie was getting a burger. Both of them were asking for directions to Klaus Mikaelson, which seemed to land them into some trouble with Marcel's night walkers.

Maddie fought them all off with ease until the last man had the upper hand, slamming her to the wall and gripping her wrists. Maddie almost scoffed at how dumb this was, as almost everyone knew that you always held a vampire by their neck. Maddie was quick to fight back, lunging her head forward and biting the man which then resulted in her plunging her hand into his chest and pulling out the man's undead heart.

Rebekah then walked into the Diner, cleaning some blood off of her hands with a wet wipe, only to see Maddie sigh, licking her lips as she pushed her hair back. Rebekah raised an eyebrow and the girl shrugged. "They attacked me first." Maddie defended before bending down and placing her finger in the pool of blood before moving to the wall.

"What are you doing?" Rebekah asked curiously and Maddie smirked. "I'm sending a message."

-_-_-_-

The female Original Vampire and the Petrova Hybrid laughed as they drove away from the two chaotic buildings, the music was turned up and Maddie had managed to change but she was still cleaning herself off as she wiped away the last bit of blood in the corner of her mouth.

While Maddie had finished, Rebekah looked in the rearview mirror, only to spot a bit of blood she had missed on her cheek and quickly wiping it away before smiling. Maddie smirked at this before throwing her head back and enjoying the rest of the drive.

It wasn't long before the two had arrived outside the place that Klaus and Elijah were now staying. Maddie assumed Klaus had already moved all of her stuff in, from the text he had sent her the night before that had basically said "as long as you are in New Orleans, you're living with me.".

Rebekah pulled out her phone and called Elijah once more, only for it to go straight to voice mail. "Elijah, if not answering your phone was part of your clever plan to get me and Maddie back to this godforsaken city, then well done. We're here, and we're worried. Now pick up before I kick in your bloody door." Rebekah snapped as she and Maddie walked up to the house.

Slamming the door open the two walked in only to see Hayley standing on the stairs, a fire poker raised only for her to lower the weapon upon seeing Maddie raise an eyebrow. "Who the hell is the blonde?" The werewolf asked her friend and Maddie smirked as she looked at Rebekah who had ignored the pregnant wolf's question.
