Brinley woke up this morning to Rebekah and Hayley dragging a bunch of old vintage wedding dresses into her bedroom, apparently because of the old legend of the casket girls it is tradition to dress up in wedding dresses.
Klaus's side of the bed was cold meaning he had been awake long before her doing god knows what.
She couldn't help but think about Davina, being only 16 and having to go through everything she has Brinley couldn't imagine being betrayed by her parents and offered up for some weird ritual. After the night they had last night Brinley hopes she was able to calm Davina's mind and make her feel more comfortable.
Brinley was now standing in front of her new full body mirror trying to zip the back of the lace dress she had tried on. It was floor length with a beautiful lace design up the skirt, the sleeves were a little more than shoulder length and puffed up.
"Come on." Brinley muttered trying to bend her body in an inhuman fashion to try and zip the back of the dress
"Need a hand my love?" Klaus spoke from the doorway making Brinley jump in surprise
"Go away I don't want you to see me like this." Brinley huffed dropping her hands to her sides
"Like what?" Klaus asked with furrowed brows
"I look like a busted can of biscuits trying to fit into this dress. I guess they were expecting any brides pregnant with twins when these dresses were made." Brinley said playing with the fabric of her skirt making Klaus chuckle as he moved to stand behind her
"Well I think you look beautiful regardless. But I much prefer what's under the dress." Klaus said placing a kiss on her neck making Brinley grin
"Oh flattery will get you everywhere." Brinley chuckled relaxing in his hold, she could feel Klaus smirking against her neck before placing more kisses along the curve of her neck before moving to nip at her jaw line.
"Well in that case." Klaus mumbled before turning Brinley to face him. "My gorgeous little warrior. You grow more and more beautiful every day."
Brinley wrapped her arms around Klaus's neck and ran her fingers through his hair lightly pulling making the hybrid hum in delight. Klaus ran his fingertip lightly up and down her spine causing goosebumps to appear, he brought his other hand up and gently cupped Brinley's face before connecting their lips.
Shivers ran up Brinley's body as she pulled Klaus closer to her, well as close as her bump would allow. The kiss quickly got heated as the two got completely lost in each other, hands wandered and Klaus pushed the dress down Brinley's body pooling at her feet. He scooped her up and Brinley wrapped her legs around Klaus's waist she could feel them moving before she was carefully lowered down onto the mattress.
Klaus stood over Brinley admiring her form dressed only in her black lace set, getting impatient Brinley wrapped her legs around Klaus's waist and pulled him down ontop of her. Klaus caught himself before he could place his entire weight on her and kept his hands up by her head, Brinley reached for her bottom of his shirt and Klaus sat up pulling it over his head before leaning down to kiss along the brunette's chest making her sigh in pleasure and run her fingers through his hair.
The couple quickly became enamored by one another articles of clothing went flying across the room, bodies conjoined in the most intimate breathtaking ways.
─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───
Brinley followed Klaus down to the living room, they were rudely interrupted by Marcel informing the couple that Davina was gone. Brinley was shocked to hear this, after their time together last night she really thought that she was able to sooth Davina's doubts. But it seems as if the little witch is a good actress.
"You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to know the obvious. Our secret weapon has escaped." Klaus said as Brinley sat down on the couch
"She wouldn't just leave. She knows the witches want her back." Marcel shook his head making Brinley clench her jaw catching his attention. "What is it?"
"Well. I may have accidentally mentioned that Elijah killed Agnes." Brinley said and the two men looked at her with wide eyes. "I'm sorry! I didn't know it was a secret. She was scared and paranoid and I was just trying to make her feel better."
"That's just perfect. I really wish your kind heart would take a break my love." Klaus sighed in frustration making Brinley look down at her lap feeling like a scolded child
Before anything else could be said Elijah walked into the room gaining their attention, Brinley was just thankful she was off the chopping block.
"Her violin is missing. She may have left of her own volition." Elijah said giving Brinley a look when he noticed her dejected expression which she responded to with a small smile
"What did you say to her in the attic? She lied to my face so she could stay up there, thinking that you'd help her control her magic. How do we know you didn't take her?" Marcel said stepping closer to Elijah making the noble original give him a look of displeasure
"I have no idea where Davina is, or why she ran away. Can I suggest you take a step back?" Elijah suggested making Marcel eye him for a moment looking for any sign of a lie before backing away
"Look Marcel. Us arguing and blaming each other isn't helping anything. Whether or not Davina left on her own recognizance she's still out there somewhere by herself. Just because Agnes is dead doesn't mean the rest of the witches are just going to forget Davina's role in your schemes. She might still be in danger." Brinley interjected her brows furrowing in worry for the young girl
"Brin is right, it is still dangerous for her in the quarter. None of us desire to see that child come into harm's way. She's suffered enough with this Harvest ritual nonsense." Elijah said
"That child, to whom you refer to so affectionately, is the most powerful witch in New Orleans. If she's fled, what's to stop her from destroying us? In fact, destroying all we've worked for? No, if she's not a friend to this family, then she is our enemy." Klaus said making Brinley shake her head
"She is a friend, Klaus." Marcel scoffed
"Well, let's hope so. Lucky for you, I know how to get her back. Follow my lead." Klaus said before turning to leave
Brinley shot the two vampires a polite smile before rushing after Klaus, as quickly as her pregnant body would allow.
"Nik. Nik wait. Don't make me chase you, you know how easily I get out of breath!" Brinley scolded making Klaus sigh and come to a stop spinning around to face her
"What is it love?" Klaus asked crossing his arms impatiently
"I don't know what you have planned but knowing you it's probably something that involves hurting someone. Just please don't hurt Davina, she's just a child and she's scared and confused and doesn't know who she can trust." Brinley pleaded knowing that he wouldn't blink if it came to hurting the teenager
"I won't make any promises. She is powerful and someone that has all the power to destroy us. She could hurt you or the twins and I will not let that happen. She can either come back here willingly or I will drag her kicking and screaming." Klaus said and Brinley sighed
"If she's so powerful then why don't we work at making an alliance with her? We need to keep her on our side, Marcel lying to her already broke some of her trust if you hurt her then it will be fractured and I don't think we'd be able to get it back." Brinley said and Klaus looked down at her clenching his jaw it was obvious he was having an internal battle. "I know you'll do what you want, regardless of what I say. I just want you to really think about it from every angle."
Klaus just nodded and Brinley leaned up to kiss his cheek before walking away leaving Klaus behind to think about his next move.
Stopping by the courtyard, Brinley was immediately summoned to help Hayley and Rebekah sort through several old chests of clothes so they can find an outfit to wear to the Casket Girls Festival.
"I still don't get why I have to do this. I can't even go to the festival incase you've forgotten." Brinley huffed pulling out another dress
"Why can't you go?" Hayley asked looking at a dress herself
"Incase you've forgotten I'm incredibly pregnant and no dress will fit me and my baby daddy is extremely overprotective borderline controlling." Brinley scoffed making Rebekah chuckle at her frustration
"I'm sure if you asked Klaus would escort you." Rebekah said
"He already has so much to deal with. I don't want to bother him with silly things." Brinley shrugged
"You mean Davina? I heard she was missing." Hayley said nonchalantly making Rebekah study her
"Walked right out of the front door, apparently. Know anything about it?" Rebekah asked and Hayley shrugged
"No, although I did see Marcel leaving from her room late last night and she did seem pretty upset." Hayley said making Brinley huff
"No doubt he said something about the witches. I accidentally told her Agnes was dead, obviously Marcel didn't know she knew so he probably lied to her." Brinley said rolling her eyes, of course Marcel would blame them when it was more than likely his fault she was gone in the first place.
"Well, why would she care, when the witches tried to kill her in their ritual?" Rebekah asked
"I think it was more about Marcel betraying her trust than anything. She thinks of him as a father figure and he used that trust for his own gain. I'd leave too if I were her." Brinley sympathized
"Well did you tell her that?" Rebekah asked with a raised brow
"No! I thought I had everything smoothed over, I mean we Swayzed together and I don't do that with just anyone." Brinley said ignoring the weird looks she received. "But if anything was resurfaced after I left that was all Marcel. I guess she realized that realized they were just using her to keep their control over the witches."
"Yeah well, I've never been a fan of the boys club. Just wait, Elijah will join them and the three of them will be impossible." Rebekah said glancing up at Marcel and Elijah who stood on the balcony muttering to each other
"Used by the witches, lied to by Marcel, manipulated by Elijah, threatened by Klaus. Just like a modern-day Casket Girl." Rebekah said with a reminiscent look on her face
"Are you talking about Davina or yourself?" Hayley asked
"Does it matter? Either way, us girls have got to stick together." Rebekah said looking between the two of them
"Hell yeah or we'd go completely insane with the amount of testosterone in this place." Brinley said before holding both pinkies out. "Gals over pals."
Rebekah and Hayley looked at her amused before linking their fingers together.
"Gals over pals."
─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───
Believe it or not Klaus refused to let Brinley attend the festival, going on about how it wasn't safe with so many people out walking around and with Davina being gone.
Not that Brinley thinks Davina would hurt her, but depending on what Klaus does to try and persuade her to return to the compound it may be a temptation.
So Brinley just decided to spend her night cuddled up in bed in her pajamas watching criminal minds.
About halfway through her 4th episode Brinley heard voices from down the hallway, letting her curiosity get the better of her she creeped out of bed and into the hallway where she saw Elijah and Marcel standing in the doorway of Davina's room.
"Is that Davina? She's back?" Brinley asked wrapping her arms around herself as she came to stand in between them
"She is. But not by her own free will." Elijah said before sighing as he took in Brinley's confused expression. "Niklaus compelled the young man Davina fancied to poison not only himself but Davina as well. Luckily there was a protection spell placed on her but unfortunately the boy is dead."
"I'm guessing it was done in retaliation to something she did. By the looks of the blood stained on both your shirts I would say your talk with her didn't go very well." Brinley said looking between the two before moving to sit beside of Davina's curled up body and gently push the hair off her forehead
"Precisely. Klaus took her as a threat and acted without mercy." Elijah said watching Brinley's motherly approach towards the young witch
"She'll never trust me again." Marcel spoke up after remaining quiet, Brinley looked towards him and frowned at the heartbroken expression on his face it was obvious how much he cares about Davina
"Perhaps. You must never surrender the fight to reclaim that trust." Elijah suggested as he stepped into the room, something catching his eye
"You care for her it's obvious and she idolized you, you were her real life Prince Charming you saved her life. Just give it time, don't push her. She'll forgive you when she's ready." Brinley told Marcel with a soft smile making him nod
"These drawings, what are they?" Elijah asked causing Brinley and Marcel to both look over at him, he was holding a stack of charcoal sketches and looking through them
"She drew those the whole time she was in the attic. Said they're different than what she draws when she senses magic. These ones, she called them evil." Marcel said and Brinley saw as Elijah clenched his jaw
"What is it Lijah?" Brinley asked stepping closer to look over his shoulder at the drawings, they are sketches of facial features and look like when put together they would create one big face
"I'm not sure yet." Elijah spoke mindlessly as he studied the drawings closely before walking out of the room
Brinley decided to leave Marcel alone with Davina and went back to her room where Klaus was waiting for her making her sigh.
"Let me guess. You heard? Which of my siblings rushed to tell you of my horrible actions first?" Klaus asked rolling his eyes making Brinley scoff
"No one rushed to tell me anything. I heard Elijah and Marcel outside Davina's room so I went to see what they were going on about and saw Davina then Elijah told me what happened." Brinley defended herself crossing her arms over her chest
"Ah and let me guess. You're going to lecture me about how it was a stupid decision and now we've made an enemy of the most powerful witch in New Orleans." Klaus said making Brinley sigh and walk over to sit next to him
"No. No I'm not because it sounds like you already know what you did was wrong. There's nothing that can be done now we can't go back in time. All we can do is try to find some common ground and make amends." Brinley said before smacking his arm. "Did you really have to poison them?"
"I wanted to make a spectacle." Klaus shrugged and Brinley rolled her eyes
"Well congratulations you did." Brinley said before climbing all the way into bed, Klaus went to follow but stopped when Brinley held her hand up. "Just because I didn't yell and lecture you doesn't mean I'm not mad. You can sleep in one of the guest rooms."
Klaus looked at her in betrayl but Brinley just rolled over so her back was facing him, Klaus huffed and grabbed his pillow before kissing the back of her neck.
"I love you." Klaus said
"I love you too. Now off you go." Brinley responded closing her eyes hearing Klaus scoff before leaving

Authors Note:
Sorry this is so short! I wasn't really sure how to fit Brinley into this episode. But next chapter should be longer like normal.
