𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐒𝐈𝐓𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊𝐒𝐄𝐀𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐀'𝐒 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐓'𝐒 𝐓𝐑𝐔𝐂𝐊, Tiana sat back twirling the Sulinolite ring in with her thumb, somewhat tuning out the two in the front seat until the truck stopped.
Causing the young fairy to look around through the partially tented windows, the girl immediately recognizing the large house of the acting Mayor Carol Lockwood.
"He's here." Was the first thing she heard Elena say as she tuned back into their conversation, the girl once again sitting forwards to take part and listen in.
"Klaus is here?" Elijah asked with blatant fear, shock, and anger both lacing his tone and in his face, it was clear that the Original hated the other being
"He's taken over Alaric's body." Elena said even lower with wide puppy-dog eyes, the girl turning physically in her seat to face the man.
"Of course he has," He spoke slightly disappointed as if he'd seen the trick so many times before, as he glanced forwards with a slight roll of his eyes. "one of his favorite tricks."
"Well, what are his other tricks, what's he going to do next," Elena quickly started firing off questions desperately, the girl trying to plead with Elijah's humanity. "you're the only one who knows him."
"Yes, I do." Elijah went along with her ploy, although he could see straight through the girl, he'd learned many of Klaus's tricks over the years.
"Is his other ones as smart as this one?" Tiana spoke up from the back seat, leaning on her hands with her elbows digging into the arm rest.
The girl giving off a wide-eyed and adorable look as she glanced between the two of them.
"Yes," Elijah replied with a small half-smile on his face, as the girl's doe-eyes landed on him. "for as devious and deadly Klaus is, he's far more intelligent, trust me."
"Hmm, would love to bounce torture methods off of him then." Once again Tiana spoke in an innocent one, it was amusing how the fairy could make something so morally unethical sound so innocent.
"In the genre of torture," Elijah began to compliment the girl in his posh British accent, his smile become a teasing smirk as he turned to look at the girl. "I do believe it's only you Ms. Silva that bests Klaus by miles."
"As long as you know," Tiana hummed with a happy tone as she excitedly sat back in the truck, she knew that her torture methods were better than most. "but thanks for the recognition."
Chuckle Elijah turned back forwards, before his laughs slowly dwindled as a complex look came over his face after he'd came to a shocking realization.
Tiana's habits and likeness wasn't much off of his Klaus's, their personalities were so much more alike than it seemed, although Tiana had miles more humanity and kindness than he hadn't seen in Klaus since before they were turned.

𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐈𝐍 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐍𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐉𝐀𝐇 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐀, Tiana politely knocked on the large front door of Mayor Lockwood, the girl standing there with a small smile on her face as they waited for the woman to come to the door.
Which was faster than expected as the woman almost immediately opened the door after the knocks registered for a moment.
"Tiana, Elijah, Elena," Carol Lockwood spoke with shock clearly lacing her tone, she hadn't expected them to come over without any warning. "what are you three doing here?"
Although as Carol's eyes landed on a brutally burnt Elijah, the woman couldn't help but look him up and down with a confused frown on her face.
"what happened?" She asked another question before anyone could answer her first, although her words didn't phase any of them.
They'd expected her to react in some kind of way to the way Elijah looked, he was absolutely charred.
"Well you see Elijah had a bit of an incident," Tiana spoke as if everything was a joke with how amused her tone came out, especially when she clasped her hangs together. "and I told him you could help."
"Well, sweetie you know I'd do anything for you," Carol said slightly exasperatedly, she'd known the girl since she was toddler and had a lot of love for her. "but I was actually on my way to a meeting, so I-"
"You know Mrs. Lockwood," Tiana interrupted the woman before she could actually finish, causing her to quickly close her mouth. "I didn't really like you much."
"What?" Carol attempted to ask out of blatant shock, but instead of answer she was just met with Tiana's eyes suddenly glowing before quickly blew sparkling white fairy dust in her face.
It quickly coating the air around the two of them, Carol quickly falling hold to the dust as her eyes glazed over in a light white wash, before they flashed back to normal
"Carol, would you please help me and my friends?" Tiana asked with the same smile on her face, although she already knew the woman would now do anything she says.
"Ofcourse, anything you need." Carol quickly agreed with a smile on her face, before she took a step back allowing the three of them to walk into her home.
"Thank you so much," Tiana thanked the woman with a large fake smile, before it dropped as she walked past her and into the house whilst asking. "well first things first, my flame broiled friend here is in need of a posh and pretty new suit, got anything?"
And as Tiana walked in, Elijah and Elena quickly walked in after her, all of them pausing as they stood in the foyer to continue conversing with the Mayor.
"Well, we can try one of my husband's suits," Carol answered as she motioned up towards the stairs, before she gently laid her purse down on the table between them. "I haven't boxed them up yet."
"That would be perfect Carol," Tiana said her tone filled with fake gratitude, before she motioned for the woman to run along. "hop to it."
Although hearing Tiana's words, the woman quickly headed up stairs her movements fluent due to her being completely and utterly unable to fight against the Fairy Dust.
"Although very impressive and entertaining," Elijah began to speak with a slightly amused tone, the man's eyes completely on Tiana. "I could have just compelled her instead."
"You can't," Elena spoke up quickly as she crossed her arms over her chest, her expression slightly high as spoke as if she knew something he didn't. "she's a part of the council, so no doubt she's on vervain."
"Please, I've long since gotten her off of that." Elijah spoke with a small snicker, the man physically waving the girl off as if she was just some kind of imbecile.
"What, no way," Tiana denied in blatant shock as she looked at the man just as impressed as he was about her showing her powers, she hadn't thought anyone had gotten to council members. "when?"
"Right before your little friends killed me," Elijah once again brought up his death and daggering, whilst throwing a harsh side eye towards Elena. "twice if I remember it correctly."
Hearing his harsh tone towards her and catching his glare, Elena's face immediately grew a wince as she started sinking down into herself, and trying her best not to make eye contact with the Original.
"Now if you'll excuse me," Elijah continued after a few seconds of glaring at Elena, the man slightly filing out his destroyed suit. "I'll be down in a moment."
With that the man turned away from both of the young women, who only watched as he walked up the stairs to follow after Carol.
His absence leaving the two girls alone in silence, although it wasn't didn't last very long as Tiana began letting out a barrel of chuckles and laughs.
"I love when people despise you like I do," Tiana spoke giddy as she walked into the living room of the Lockwood Manor, Elena slowly following behind her with a pout on her face. "it just brings me so much joy."
Giggling out her words, Tiana simply ignored Elena as she followed behind her, the young fairy only flopping down onto the couch and getting herself comfortable.
"I can't believe you hypnotized Mayor Lockwood." Elena pouted out some kind of grievance, the bland human always finding something to whine about.
"Why not I do it to you all the time." Tiana mumbled as she watched Elena turn around, the girl glancing back towards foyer and stairs as if she was fearful for Carol's wellbeing.
However hearing Tiana's words, Elena was quick to whip back around with blatant anger written on her face.
"You do what!" Elena screeched angrily and shocked as she looked at Tiana, although her screeching didn't matter as Tiana quickly blew white fairy dust in the girl's face.
Elena falling almost immediately into the Fairy Dust as this wasn't the first time Tiana had hypnotized the girl, and the more Tiana did it the quicker Elena began to fall and the deeper it could hold her.
And seeing Elena's eyes behind ghosted over by white, before they returned to normal, Tiana couldn't help the smirk that came over her face as she placed her hands behind her head.
"Elena, please sit down and shut up until Elijah comes back," Tiana instructed the girl whilst watching and waiting for her to move, although when she did, Tiana suddenly had a different and better idea. "wait no actually, go fix me a Martinez Cocktail and a glass and bottle of bourbon for Elijah."
Hearing her new instructions, Elena turned around almost fluently and made her way towards the kitchen in order to raise Carol's pantry for the boos.
Tiana on the other hand just laid back even more comfortably as she pulled her phone out the black purse she'd brought with her, she didn't worry about Elena.
This wasn't first time she'd made her make a martinez, it was the second time she'd done it when she made her learn how to make multitude of different cocktails.
And on her first time hypnotizing Carol, she forced the woman to buy a bunch of different alcohol just incase she came over and wanted something stronger than bland sweet tea.
