I know exactly why Rebekah is in New Orleans.
Marcel.
One of Nicklaus' oldest friends. Actually Klaus treated him more like a son, took him in when he was young and once he was old enough and ready, Klaus turned him.
Marcel and Rebekah were in love but were they ever actually together? No. That is because Klaus made sure they couldn't be. He told Marcel that if him and Rebekah ever got together he would disown him.
Marcel looked up to Klaus so much that he never let himself be happy with Rebekah. Sure, they would sneak off here and there without Klaus knowing but it's not enough for them.
I bet Rebekah knows Klaus's whereabouts, that he is here in Mystic Falls. This way her and Marcel can freely have time together in New Orleans.
Knowing this is most likely the reason she is there, I don't want to ruin it. I want her to have her happiness so I will see her soon.
Maybe I'll wait until Kai has completed all he needs to and he can go with me. I would love to show him around New Orleans when there are people there and not just the two of us.
"At least now I know where she is. And for now she is safe with Marcel." I tell Kol.
"Ah great old Marcel." He sneers.
Kol always disliked Marcel. He felt as if Marcel took his place as the younger brother. For awhile he did but that was only because Klaus kept him locked away, daggered in his coffin.
When Klaus thought he was ready...no, deserving.. of coming back to us, he undaggered him but it was short lived.
Kol had threatened Marcel and Klaus wasn't having it. He quickly daggered Kol not even a week after he had come back.
"I know how you feel about him Kol but that really doesn't matter right now." I tell him truthfully. "Rebekah loves him and that's all that matters. Plus do you really care about what Klaus thinks anymore?"
"No not one bit." His leans back into the couch.
"Good. So let's let Rebekah be happy for awhile and then we will go and visit her, okay?"
"Sounds good to me." He gives me a smile. "But for now... where exactly are we staying? I'm sure the Salvatores still live here."
"Bad idea." Bonnie chimes in.
"What? Why? Stefan and I used to be somewhat friends back in the day. I'm sure he'd let us stay." Kol looks from Bonnie to me.
"Stefan and I dated for awhile and we recently broke up." I explain.
"Wait...but didn't you just say you have a boyfriend?" He leans forward, resting his elbows on his knees.
"Klaus sent me to a Prison World for betraying him. Long story on that one but in the Prison World I met this guy named Kai. We got together and then found out that back in the 90's we dated. Only to have our memories erased by none other than Klaus himself."
"Kai Parker?" Kol asks.
"Yes- wait how do you know him?" I reposition myself so I'm facing Kol.
"Kai and I were good friends back then. I think we understood each other. Both the black sheep of the family-"
"You were not the black sheep of the family Kol." I try to assure him.
"I was and you know it. So don't try to lie to me." He says. "Anyways, we had that in common. His dad hated him for not being able to do magic on his own and well... our family hating me because I'm a terrible vampire."
"I never hated you... you know that right?" I place my hand on his.
"I know Quinn. You and Rebekah were always there for me. That's why the two of you are my favorite." He smiles. "And that's why I'm going to help you kill our brother."
I give him a small smile.
"You both can stay here tonight. And if you need to keep staying here, I don't mind. My dad will be gone for awhile so I have the place to myself." Bonnie says.
"Thank you Bonnie." Kol smirks. "She is a great friend Quinn. Always keep her by your side."
"She is the best." I smile at Bonnie.
-
It is now the morning and I lay in the bed in Bonnie's room with her sleeping to my right. Normally I would have just slept in the guest room but that is now occupied by Kol. I check my phone to see the time and it is only nine in the morning.
I see a notification pop up on my phone from Jo. Swiping the notification to open it, I am met with a text message.
Jo: Can you meet me to talk?
Me: Sure. Where do you want to meet?
Jo: The Grill is fine. See you soon.
I don't text back. I just lock my phone and look over to Bonnie who is still sleeping. I slowly get out of the bed and find something to wear.
I am quiet with my steps so I don't wake her and walk out to the kitchen. I find a piece of paper and write her a note letting her know where I will be. Once that is done I walk out the door.
When I make it to the grill there are barely any people here. Well I mean obviously... it is nine in the morning. It wasn't hard for me to spot Jo who is sitting in a booth at the back of the restaurant. She sips her coffee as I walk up and take a seat.
"I didn't get you anything to drink because I wasn't sure if you liked coffee." She gives a small smile.
"Coffee is an essential." I tell her.
Matt comes over to the table and pours me a cup of coffee and then leaves Jo and I alone. We are silent for awhile because I am afraid of what she wants to talk about. Probably about the merge and she will probably get mad at me for Kai coming to her.
"Alaric and I are getting married." She spills the words out and I almost spit out my coffee.
"What?" I ask as I grab a napkin. "That is amazing Jo!"
I am really happy for them. Alaric needed to find someone after what happened to Jenna.
After Klaus killed her.
Back then Alaric didn't know about my relationship with Klaus but now that he does, does he hate me to for what my brother did?
"We are really excited! We figured that we might as well do it now since we don't know what will happen with the merge."
I sink back into my seat. "Jo I am so sorry... Kai never explained what all happens in the merge."
"It isn't your fault Quinn. I want you to know that." She states.
"Really? I feel like it is. I told you I wouldn't let Kai near you and well..." I trail off.
"He would have found me regardless. It's just who he is." She leans forward in her seat. "I just want you to know I don't blame you."
I let out a sigh of relief.
"Actually I wanted to ask you something." She smiles. "Would you like to be a part of the wedding?"
My eyes go wide. "What? You want me in your wedding?"
"Yes." She laughs. "When you and Kai dated, me and you were pretty close. I mean the times Kai would bring you around the house we always hung out. I think he kind of hated it."
"I'm sure he did." I rest my forearms on the table. "I would love to be a part of your special day!"
She claps her hands together out of happiness. "Great! Elena is in it as well, same with Damon. We just need to find someone for you to walk down the aisle with."
"I'm assuming Kai isn't an option." I joke because I know he is not an option.
"Very funny." She shakes her head with a laugh. "I was thinking maybe... Stefan."
"Oh I don't think that's a good idea." I wave my hands decline her idea. "I haven't talked to him since we broke up."
"I know but it will only be for one day. Not even a full day, just the night." She explains.
"Fine. It's your day anyways so whatever makes you happy." I give her a genuine smile.
It won't be that bad, will it? I know that when Kai finds out about this he won't be happy. Maybe I just shouldn't tell him. He's got so much to worry about right now with the merge coming up.
I mean it's not that big of a deal, me and Stefan waking down the aisle together. Stefan might not be happy about it but he can get over it.
Ohhh shit.
