APPARENTLY, A LOT CAN HAPPEN IN SIX DAYS. Elijah was finally on board with the making of the moon rings, Marjorie had a suspicion that his sudden support has something to do with Hayley and how she would once again be controlled by her curse once the baby was born.
But as long as her dad and uncle are no longer butting heads over the issue, Marjorie couldn't care less what influenced Elijah's decision.
Killian was tasked with accompanying Jackson and Oliver to collect the moon stones that Genevieve would use to create the rings, much to Marjorie's displeasure.
She didn't trust Oliver at all, there was something off about him and she didn't like the idea of Killian going on a "mission" with him. Knowing that Jackson would be with them eased her mind a little, but not enough to make all her worries dissipate.
"I'll be fine." Killian assured Marjorie for what felt like the 100th time since she found out he'd be going to get the stones
"You better be or I'll kill you myself." Marjorie threatened and Killian chuckled
"You're cute when you're bossy." Killian teased
"I am not cute! I'm intimidating." Marjorie narrowed her eyes and Killian raised his brows in amusement
"Sure you are." Killian grinned sarcastically
"Never mind, I hope you aren't fine. You're getting on my nerves." Marjorie huffed turning to walk away from him but Killian grabbed her arm and pulled her back
"I'm sorry. I take it back, you are very intimidating." Killian held her to his chest
Marjorie wanted to tease him and make him think she was really annoyed with him, but the second his arms wrapped around her she knew she didn't have the strength.
"You are forgiven. Now go, and come back safe. You can't miss my birthday tomorrow, after all." Marjorie rested her hands on his chest, playing with the soft fabric of his shirt
"I'd never dream of it, it's not every day my soulmate turns 18. Stay out of trouble while I'm gone." Killian kissed her forehead and Marjorie smiled
"No promises." Marjorie grinned and Killian rolled his eyes playfully before shooting her a wink and leaving her room to meet up with Jackson and Oliver
After he left, Marjorie decided to get ready for the day. Despite how much she just wanted to lay in bed and binge watch Friends, she knew that at some point during the day supernatural drama would come knocking at the door.
It was best to be prepared. And not still in her pajamas.
A knock on the door made Marjorie look up to see Klaus standing in the doorway.
"Last day being 17, how does it feel almost being an adult?" Klaus smiled softly
"Not any different at all. What was it like when you turned 18?" Marjorie curiously asked and Klaus sighed
"Well that was some time ago love. But from what I can remember, I became one of the sole providers for the family and our village. I had gotten to go on all the hunts with the village men, Mikael, and Elijah. I felt like an actual man." Klaus chuckled
"So definitely not the same as now, where everyone gets a big party and maybe a car." Marjorie smiled hinting towards something making Klaus grin in amusement
"Is that your way of telling me you want a party and a car?" Klaus raised his brows
"Maybe." Marjorie sung
"It is your first birthday with us, it shall be a grand affair. Just as all your other birthdays will be." Klaus promised as he pulled her into a hug
"Can't wait." Marjorie sunk into his chest
"I've got some things to take care of, but I'll be back later." Klaus told her and Marjorie nodded
"Ok. Be careful." Marjorie said
"Always am, little pearl." Klaus winked before leaving
Walking downstairs Marjorie was not surprised to find Hayley sitting in the chair she claimed as "her special chair", since she swore it was the only chair she could comfortably sit in.
Marjorie suspects that it's her favorite because it's directly next to Elijah's unassigned assigned seat, but what did she know?
"Hey! Almost birthday girl! You feeling ok?" Hayley asked when the teen slumped down onto the couch in front of her
She was worried about the girl after what happened. Marjorie didn't seem to be too awfully scarred by what happened, it had only been 6 days. There's no way she could've came to terms with what happened in that amount of time, so Hayley had been keeping a closer eyes on her.
"Yep. It's weird, like I actually died and now I'm alive and I don't feel any different. I thought people were supposed to have these weird moments of clarity or something when they die." Marjorie sighed moving to lay down on her side
"Well in all the times that I've almost died over the past few months, I can't say that I've experienced anything like that. I think that's a myth that they tell people to keep them from wasting their lives away. When we die we just die, then you go onto whatever kind of afterlife that you believe in." Hayley shrugged as she rubbed her swollen belly
"Then why didn't that happen to me?" Marjorie furrowed her brows, why didn't she just die and go on to the afterlife like all the other dead people?
"I don't know. I think it could have something to do with your soulmate bond with Killian. Maybe in order for one of you to die you both have to, or maybe it's your tribrid side that protected you from dying dying. But either way, I'm glad you didn't die. I don't know what I would've done." Hayley cleared her throat, her hormones making her much more emotional then normal
"I'm glad I didn't die too. I have too much left to do before I die, like I've never eaten a deep fried Twinkie before. That's definitely on my bucket list." Marjorie teased and Hayley smiled in amusement
"A deep fried Twinkie huh? Well no one deserves to die before they've had one of those." Hayley agreed with a small laugh
She truly couldn't imagine life without the girl in front of her, she just brightens up her world every day. Even after everything Marjorie had been through, she never forgets to smile and that's something Hayley admires about her.
From the beginning she had a feeling that Marjorie would end up meaning a lot to her, but Hayley never could've imagined just how much.
"I also don't want to die a virgin. That would suck." Marjorie commented and Hayley couldn't help but grin
"Marjorie Pearl Mikaelson. You really are a teenage girl." Hayley laughed, remembering all the boy obsessed girls she had to deal with when she was a teenager. "I'm sure Killian would happily jump at the chance."
Marjorie blushed at the insinuation, she can't deny that she had thought of Killian in that way before. After all, she was just a girl. A teenage girl who has hormones, and a really attractive soulmate who was at her beck and call 24/7.
But they hadn't gone there yet. They hadn't even properly kissed. Marjorie didn't think she could be one of those girls who immediately slept with a guy, not that there was anything wrong with that, but that just wasn't Marjorie.
She was insecure about her body. About the scars she has from her childhood. About her small breasts that don't compare to some of the women she's seen. She could make a list 4 pages long going on about everything she doesn't like about herself.
The point is, it feels like it's too soon and she's just happy Killian hasn't tried to pressure her into doing something she wasn't ready for.
"I'm sure he would. Just not yet." Marjorie smiled softly and Hayley nodded
"Only when you're ready, never feel like you have to do something you're not comfortable with just because the guy wants to. Not that I think Killian is that type of guy, but still." Hayley said, she didn't want Marjorie to make the same mistakes she did
"Yeah I know, don't worry Hales. I won't do anything until I'm ready and neither will Kil." Marjorie assured her, thankful that she cares enough to give her advice about that topic
"Ok, good." Hayley nodded before her stomach growled. "And that's the baby telling me to eat, want to order a pizza?"
"Pepperoni and feta?" Marjorie asked and Hayley smiled
"You me so well. Oh also-" Hayley started
"Garlic knots with extra parmesan cheese." Marjorie cut her off and Hayley sheepishly looked down making Marjorie chuckle. "I know your order by heart, and I think the pizza place knows us by name."
"At least we give them a nice tip with Elijah's credit card." Hayley said and Marjorie nodded in agreement before leaving to call the pizza place
●・○・●・○・●
The pizza had long since been devoured, Marjorie didn't know it was possible for one person to eat so much but Hayley told her that she wasn't just eating for herself so it didn't count.
Can't argue with that logic.
Elijah had joined them a little while ago, mainly to question why there was a $50 charge to his credit card but once he saw the pizza and Hayley balancing a plate on her stomach while Marjorie was trying to catch stray pepperonis in her mouth, he decided he didn't need to know.
So, the three of them had been sitting together in a comfortable silence. Occasionally starting up conversation but mostly sticking to their own things, Marjorie was reading Little Women to occupy herself.
"What time is it?" Hayley suddenly asked making Marjorie look up at her from her spot, lying upside down on the couch
"Half past 3." Elijah answered and Marjorie lowered her book down from her face
"Half past 3? Kil left at 10 this morning." Marjorie furrowed her brows as she sat up sharing a concerned look with Hayley
"With Jackson and Oliver." Hayley added raising her brow at Marjorie who waved her off
"Yeah, whatever. Them too." Marjorie rolled her eyes, she couldn't care less about Jackson or Oliver
All the cares about is Killian, and if he's ok.
"They've been gone an awful long time." Hayley stressed
Marjorie pulled out her phone and called Killian, frowning when it went straight to voicemail before trying it a few more times just to have the same result.
"Kil isn't answering." Marjorie gulped
"I'll call Niklaus." Elijah said before pulling his phone out
Elijah dialed Klaus, putting the call on speaker. While Marjorie and Hayley stood impatiently next to him, the younger girl continuing to try to get ahold of Killian.
"Yes, brother, what is it?" Klaus asked
"It appears our wolves have gone astray, brother." Elijah informed him
"They should have been back hours ago." Hayley cuts in
"Killian won't answer his phone either." Marjorie added
"We need to find them." Elijah interrupted them making Marjorie huff
"Well, that might be a bit tricky. You see, we've located their car on a back road in the middle of nowhere. I suspect they've been shanghai'd." Klaus said and Marjorie and Hayley looked at each other with wide eyes
"What?!" The two chorused
"And you didn't feel the need to share this information?" Elijah clenched his jaw
"It was my intention to present you with a problem only after I had found an appropriate solution." Klaus defended himself
"Do enlighten us." Elijah spoke, sarcasm seeping into his tone
"I'm closing in on it as we speak. The only person who would be bold enough to snatch Killian and my wolf allies is the one who has the most to lose." Klaus said and Elijah shut his eyes in frustration
"Marcel." Elijah sighed
"No, he'll kill them!" Hayley exclaimed, clearly scared at the thought
Marjorie clenched her fists and took a deep breath, she was terrified of something happening to Killian and if Marcel is behind this he wouldn't even blink at killing him.
"Genevieve assures me that Marcel has procured a cloaking spell. The only witch who will aid Marcel is Davina. I just need to get one last bit of leverage before I pay her a visit." Klaus explained
"Wait. Before you do something to make Davina hate us, give me the chance to talk to her first." Marjorie interjected and Klaus scoffed over the phone
"Absolutely not! Did you forget that the witches tried to kill you just last week? You will go no where near them!" Klaus ordered and Marjorie sighed
"I highly doubt Davina had anything to do with that, plus the witches all hate her anyways. You saw the way they treated her at the festival. Look she actually seems to like me, she'll be more open to talking to me. If you try to threaten her or go after someone she cares about you'll only be creating another enemy that we don't need." Marjorie pleaded causing Elijah and Hayley to exchange a look while Klaus sighed over the phone
"Brother, no one wishes to see Marjorie come to any harm more than I. But perhaps she is right, Davina does seem to view her as a friend. She might be more willing to aid us if Marjorie just talks to her." Elijah sighed, agreeing that Marjorie's idea may be their best option
"I don't like it. Not one bit." Klaus scoffed
"But you'll let me try? If I can't get through to her then you can continue on with your diabolical plan." Marjorie hopefully smiled
"Fine. But Elijah will accompany you and wait outside. Am I clear?" Klaus demanded
"Crystal! Thanks dad!" Marjorie smiled, hoping that her idea would work
"Yeah yeah. Let me know how it goes. Be careful, I love you." Klaus sighed
"I will. I love you too!" Marjorie replied before Elijah hung up the phone
"I suppose we should go sooner, rather than later." Elijah looked towards Marjorie who nodded
"Yeah. I'm ready now." Marjorie said, the sooner they talked to Davina the sooner they could hopefully find out where Marcel had Killian
"Be careful." Hayley hugged Marjorie, not liking the idea of her going into witches territory after what happened
But unfortunately it was the best plan, if they left it to Klaus he would probably kill someone Davina cared about or at least threaten them which would get them no where.
"I will." Marjorie promised before grabbing Elijah's hand, who then sped them away
The duo arrived at the Lycee where Davina would be and Marjorie had to say she felt weird coming here. Especially since her family did not have a good relationship with the New Orleans coven.
But it had to be done.
"Are you sure you don't want me to accompany you inside?" Elijah asked as they stood outside the coven greenhouse
"I'll be fine Uncle Lijah, it'll be better if I talk to her alone. I'll be right back." Marjorie smiled at his concern before slipping inside
Marjorie looked around, the inside of the greenhouse. It didn't really look like one, all of the plants were wilted but then again. It might be that the witches practice their magic on the plants to make them either grow or die.
She was careful not to make much noise, just incase Davina wasn't by herself. Marjorie wasn't particularly fond of the possibility of running into any of the other witches.
As she walked further inside Marjorie was able to spot Davina, who was in the middle of studying. But something about her posture was concerning, she looked to be extremely tense like she was paranoid about something.
"Knock knock." Marjorie spoke up making Davina jump and spin around in surprise
"Marjorie? What are you doing here?" Davina asked surprised to see the Mikaelson, after hearing about what happened to her
"I needed to talk to you, it's important." Marjorie sighed as she came to stand next to her. "Look, I know that you see Marcel as family and I understand. I respect that, but we really need to find him. I know you placed a cloaking spell on him, I'm asking you to tell me where he is. Please."
"I can't do that. You're right he is my family, and I won't let Klaus hurt him." Davina refused making Marjorie clench her jaw
"Marcel took someone who I care about, he might even kill him and I can't let that happen. He's my family Davina, if you just tell me where Marcel is I promise I won't let my dad hurt him. I just want Killian back." Marjorie said and Davina looked at her
"Killian? Is that the guy I saw you with at the festival?" Davina asked
"Yeah, that's him." Marjorie nodded
"And he's your boyfriend?" Davina raised her brow
"Uh, it's complicated. He's my soulmate, like literally. Look, I don't have time to explain it all. The point is, we will find Marcel. My dad had some diabolical plan to get you to tell us where he is but I asked him to let me talk to you first, I was hoping that since we don't hate each other that you might be more willing to tell me." Marjorie explained making Davina look down. "I get wanting to protect Marcel, but I also want to protect Killian because he's my family. So please, tell me where Marcel is so we can just end this. No one gets hurt."
"You promise you won't let Klaus kill him?" Davina asked and Marjorie nodded
"I won't let Klaus kill Marcel." Marjorie spoke and Davina sighed
"He's at a warehouse at the docks. Thierry's place." Davina caved and Marjorie smiled
"Thank you Davina." Marjorie squeezed her shoulder
Davina just nodded before turning away to go back to studying, Marjorie quickly left not wanting to be on the coven's property for any longer than necessary.
Elijah stood up straight when Marjorie came outside and shot him a grin.
"The docks. He's been staying at a warehouse down there, that Thierry guys place." Marjorie said and Elijah nodded
"Let's get you home. Then your father and I will check it out." Elijah said and Marjorie sighed but knew they wouldn't let her go with them
Not wanting to waste time Marjorie nodded and allowed Elijah to speed them back to the compound.
When Elijah left and Marjorie went upstairs to find Hayley in the study, the last thing she expected was to find Genevieve there with her.
"What are you doing here?" Marjorie glared
"While Elijah and Klaus are tracking down the stones and our missing wolves, I offered to stay behind and watch over you and Hayley." Genevieve answered, not reacting to Marjorie's glare as she stood going over the spell for the moon rings
"We can look after ourselves." Marjorie crossed her arms over her chest
"I'm sure you can. But it doesn't hurt to be cautious." Genevieve didn't bother sparing Marjorie a look making the teen huff before moving to sit next to Hayley on the couch
"Don't worry. I'm not thrilled about this either." Hayley mumbled so that only Marjorie could hear
"Can't we just kill her and I do the spell?" Marjorie grumbled
"I wish." Hayley chuckled
The three girls sat in silence, Genevieve could feel Marjorie's heated glare from across the room but knew better than to say anything.
Hayley had taken to pacing around making Marjorie's head spin as she watched her.
"Can you please stop pacing, you're making dizzy." Marjorie complained and Hayley sighed
"Elijah should've called by now." Hayley rubbed her belly
"Worrying isn't going to help. You should sit down, try to keep calm." Genevieve instructed Hayley who just raised a brow in her direction
"What are you, now, magician slash zen-life-coach?" Hayley frowned
"The treatment of pregnant women has advanced remarkably since I was a nurse, but even I know high blood pressure is bad for you, and your baby." Genevieve used the baby to guilt trip Hayley into sighing and sitting down next to Marjorie. "Especially now, since you're so close to term."
"Maybe I should go see what's taking them so long." Marjorie said, as she stood up really wanting an excuse to leave
"That's a terrible idea. You should still be taking it easy after last week, and Klaus would kill me if I let you leave." Genevieve said
"He would? That just makes me want to leave even more." Marjorie squinted making Genevieve sigh
"I get you hate me, ok. But can you please just stay here?" Genevieve asked and Marjorie rolled her eyes before sitting back down
"Whatever." Marjorie scoffed
"I hate this. I feel completely useless." Hayley huffed and Marjorie nodded in agreement
"Preach." Marjorie hummed
"Don't you two get it? You're the point of all this. Klaus and Elijah running all over town? It's all to make sure you Hayley, don't have to turn every full moon. That you Marjorie, are always protected not to mention your soulmate Killian. I'm a bit envious." Genevieve lectured the two girls
"Great. Lucky us." Hayley scoffed
"Is there anything I can get you?" Genevieve asked looking between the two
"How about a moonlight ring?" Hayley smiled sarcastically
"A knife." Marjorie mumbled
"Sorry, but I'd rather not arm you with a weapon." Genevieve told Marjorie before turning to Hayley. "The spell can't be performed until the full moon reaches its apex. And, of course, I need the stones, which will be here soon enough. Have a little faith!"
Hayley and Marjorie share a look, neither of them convinced that it will be that easy nor are they buying Genevieve's whole nice guy act.
Hayley nods towards the door and Marjorie nodded in agreement before the two left the room, Genevieve watched them go shaking her head at the pair before turning back to the spell.
Marjorie and Hayley were hiding out in the teens room when Hayley decided to call Elijah again, and this time he miraculously answered the phone.
"Impeccable timing." Elijah spoke through the phone
"What's going on?" Hayley asked
"Did you find Killian?" Marjorie spoke over Hayley as she bit a hangnail on the edge of her thumb
"Killian and Jackson are both fine. They're...a little tied up right now. Can we call you back?" Elijah hummed and Marjorie almost smiled when she heard Killian laugh in the background
"Oh, that doesn't bode well." Klaus was heard saying making Hayley and Marjorie exchange a look
"Are you trying to kill us?" Jackson yelled
"Please don't. I promised Marjorie I'd make it to her birthday tomorrow." Killian commented
"Elijah, tell us what's going on, now!" Hayley exclaimed while Marjorie began to pace in worry
Suddenly, a large explosion is heard making Marjorie and Hayley both gasp. Terrified expressions taking over their faces.
"Uncle Elijah! Dad! Killian!" Marjorie called into the phone but the beep of the disconnected tone was all that was heard. "Please tell me they didn't just die."
Hayley didn't respond but by the look on her face, it was obvious that she feared the worst as well.
●・○・●・○・●
The duo moved back down to the study, happy to see that Genevieve had went somewhere else so they didn't have to deal with her.
Marjorie was sitting on the couch, her knee bouncing while Hayley paced around nervously in front of her. When the four musketeers bounded into the room, disheveled and covered in ash.
Klaus had Killian's arm over his shoulder and was helping him walk as he limped while Elijah did the same for Jackson.
"Are you guys ok?" Marjorie gasped as she lurched forward, hugging Killian and her dad tightly
"We're ok, little pearl." Klaus assured her kissing her forehead before giving her and Killian a minute
"You're not dead right?" Marjorie asked as she culled his face, tilting his head to the side observing the cuts that adorned his face
"Not dead, very much alive. But I do see an angel." Killian winked making Marjorie shake her head fondly
"That was so cheesy. But I don't care, just as long as you're alive." Marjorie said before nuzzling into his chest, Killian holding her against him tightly
"What about the stones?" Hayley asked, gaining Marjorie's attention
"Scattered across the bed of the Mississippi, I'd imagine." Elijah sighed
"Marcel's not a fool. He knows an empowered werewolf army would mean the end of vampires in New Orleans. The explosion is his way of saying he means to prevent that. For all the good it'll do him." Klaus scoffed pouring himself a drink
"Well, it did him pretty damn well, didn't it?" Hayley looked towards Elijah who frowned, making Marjorie furrow her brows in confusion
"This is my fault. I'll find a way to fix it." Jackson sighed before glancing over at Killian
"What? It wasn't my fault, I told you and Oliver those vehicles were sketchy and you just kept going along which got us kidnapped." Killian rolled his eyes making Marjorie bite her lip to hide her grin
"No, Jack, you're hurt. No one's blaming you." Hayley rubbed Jackson's shoulder affectionately, shooting Killian a glare who in return held his hands up
"I'm blaming you! Those stones will be hard to replace." Klaus looks over at Elijah and smiles evilly. "Fortunately, I always have a backup plan."
"Lord help us." Marjorie mumbled making Klaus narrow his eyes at her
While the other 4 went downstairs to greet Klaus' "backup plan", Marjorie and Killian went to his room so she could patch him up.
Killian sat on his bed shirtless while Marjorie stood in front of him, gently dabbing the cuts on his face with alcohol. She was so focused that she didn't realize Killian was admiring her.
The way she bit her bottom lip in concentration, the touch her fingers feather light as not to hurt him.
Mindlessly, Killian rested his hands on Marjorie's hips pulling her to stand between his legs. His fingers rubbing the rough fabric of her jean shorts, making Marjorie smile slightly.
"Are you sure it doesn't hurt?" Marjorie double checked as she finished cleaning a particularly nasty cut on his forehead
"I'm sure. Trust me, I've been through worse." Killian assured her
Marjorie tried not to show how much those words affected her, she hated the idea of Killian getting hurt. Now she understands how he feels when she's always the one getting hurt.
"Ok." Marjorie sighed before looking him over to make sure there weren't any other wounds that needed cleaned. "I think you're good."
"Thanks, Nurse Mikaelson." Killian winked squeezing her hips before standing up to grab a new shirt
"Hey, I only patched you up. My dad's the one who vamped you away from becoming a human firework." Marjorie chuckled as Killian pulled a shirt over his head
"Yeah and I think your influence is why." Killian said as he turned to face her
"I don't know. I think you're growing on him." Marjorie smiled
"I hope so, because it would be pretty awkward if he hated me." Killian hummed before walking back over to her. "I better go out to the bayou before the moon rises any more."
"Are you going to take one of the moon rings? You never really said for sure." Marjorie wrapped her arms around Killian's neck
"I don't know. Something about it just feels wrong, I don't doubt your dad's intentions at all. But I'd feel a lot better if you were the one doing the spell." Killian admitted as he rested his hands on her hips
"Me too. I won't pressure you. If you want one then take it, it'll mean tonight's the last full moon you'll be forced to turn. But if you don't want one that's fine too, everything will just be the way it's always been." Marjorie shrugged
"It's a lot to think about, but thank you for not trying to force me to take it. I swear if Oliver talks to me about it one more time I'm going to kill him." Killian said honestly making Marjorie chuckle
"What a shame that would be." Marjorie commented sarcastically before turning slightly more serious. "Just. Be careful tonight, please. I've got a bad feeling."
"Just as long as you promise to do the same. I can't lose you." Killian brought his hands up to cup Marjorie's face
Marjorie smiled softly, feeling her heart start to race as Killian gently traced her pulse point with his thumbs. Their eyes connected, and Marjorie felt her breath hitch.
"You're so beautiful, you know that?" Killian huskily spoke
"Uh thanks." Marjorie mumbled her cheeks burning
Killian smirked at her bashfulness before looking down at her lips, Marjorie watched as his eyes darted down before they locked on hers again.
"Are you going to kiss me?" Marjorie asked softly
"Do you want me to?" Killian inquired and Marjorie nodded, but Killian tutted. "Use your words, baby."
"Yes. I want you to kiss me, Kil." Marjorie stuttered nervously
Killian stared into her eyes, looking for any sign of resistance. Finding none he leaned in and connected their lips. Marjorie's breath hitched before she melted into the kiss as her hands gripped onto the back of his neck. Her lips were softer than anything Killian had ever known, the taste of her strawberry lipgloss was so sweet.
Their lips moved synchronized together, Killian's left hand gently gripped Marjorie's neck while his right slid down her body stopping at her waist before pulling her tightly against him.
Goosebumps traveled up Marjorie's spine at his touch, wanting nothing more than for him to keep touching her.
Breaking apart for air Marjorie's lips tingled, and she couldn't help the upturn of her lips. Her chest rapidly fell up and down, her hands weaving through Killian's hair.
Killian felt addicted, addicted to her taste. To the feeling of her lips against his. The small sounds she made as his hands roamed her body. The way she gripped onto the back of his neck, her fingers in his hair.
It was only one kiss, their first kiss but it only left the both of them wanting more.
"That was-" Marjorie breathed
"Perfect." Killian gently ran his thumb over Marjorie's plump lips. "The taste of your lips is addictive, darling."
Marjorie blushed making Killian smirk as he leaned forward and kissed her warm cheeks making her laugh.
"Don't be embarrassed." Killian teased
"Oh shut it." Marjorie rolled her eyes playfully
"As much as I would love to kiss you all night long, I should be going." Killian sighed as he cupped her cheeks, gently stroking her cheeks while Marjorie gripped the cotton fabric of his shirt
"Unfortunately." Marjorie huffed, feeling brave as she stood on her tiptoes and placed a tender kiss on his lips. "Come back to me."
"Oh I will." Killian smirked looking her up and down before pecking the top of her nose before moving to her lips
As they pulled away Killian shot her a wink before leaving the room, Marjorie gently touching her lips after he left. With a love sick expression on her face.
"Hey, you ok?" Hayley's voice snapped Marjorie out of her daze
Looking up to see the pregnant wolf looking at her confused as she leaned against the doorway.
"Uh yeah. Yep." Marjorie stuttered making Hayley narrow her eyes at her
Hayley took in Marjorie's appearance. Her hair was messy, clothes were wrinkled in disarray, and her lips were swollen and red.
"No way! You guys kissed!" Hayley exclaimed with a wide smile and Marjorie shushed her
"Almost everyone in this house has superheating, can you please be quiet?" Marjorie hissed and Hayley laughed
"I'm sorry, but this is huge! What was it like? Did you enjoy it? He wasn't too rough was he?" Hayley rambled and Marjorie covered her mouth to stop her from talking
"I'll give you all the details later but the moons almost reached it's apex which means witch bitch is about to start the moon stone spell and we should probably supervise." Marjorie said and Hayley pouted making the teen sigh. "It was perfect. Happy?"
"For now." Hayley shrugged before linking their arms. "Just for some payback, Elijah kissed me."
"What!?" Marjorie squealed in excitement, afraid that she was never going to see the day that her uncle got over his nobility and did something for himself for once.
"Details later." Hayley smirked, giving Marjorie a taste of her own medicine
As the two made it downstairs where Genevieve was working on the spell in the study, Marjorie and Hayley shared a look that meant they would continue their conversation later.
Marjorie stepped beside Elijah and nudged him giving him a cheesy grin when he looked down making him furrow his brows in confusion.
"Is everything alright, sweetheart?" Elijah asked her quietly making Marjorie chuckle
"It sure is, you sly dog." Marjorie teased and Elijah shook his head amused at her odd behavior
The three Mikaelson's along with Hayley stood together, watching Genevieve carefully. Marjorie wishing that she was the one doing the spell, so that would be sure it would work and that Genevieve wasn't using them.
"Tua virtuse. Materi lunare tua virtuse. Materi lunare tua virtuse." Genevieve chanted with her eyes closed, as she held her hands out
Francesca rushed into the room startling Marjorie, who had no idea the woman was even here. But when she saw Hayley and Elijah's looks of displeasure, she was sure that Francesca was her father's back up plan.
"My people say Marcel is on the move, and he's bringing friends." Francesca informed them
Klaus stood up straighter, defensively and turned to Elijah.
"Get Marjorie and Hayley to safety." Klaus told his brother before turning to Marjorie and kissing his forehead. "I love you."
"I love you too." Marjorie nodded before Klaus rushed out of the room
"Come with me." Elijah told Marjorie and Hayley as he gently grabbed onto their hands
"No. Some needs to watch her." Hayley gestured to Genevieve
"I'll stay." Marjorie spoke up. "No offense Hales, but you're about to pop any day and if something goes wrong and Genevieve screws up I'm the one who can fix it."
"Mar." Hayley shook her head
"I won't have you in danger." Elijah told his niece
"You should get Hayley out of here and help Klaus. My brothers and their security detail won't be much against a vampire army. I'll stay with Marjorie." Francesca told Elijah who, like Hayley didn't seem convinced
"Uncle Lijah, I'll be fine. I promise." Marjorie walked over to him and Elijah sighed unsure of what to do. "There isn't much time. Get Hayley and the baby out of here."
"Don't hold back. Whatever it takes to protect yourself, you do it." Elijah told her and Marjorie nodded
"I promise." Marjorie said and Elijah pulled her into a tight hug before kissing her forehead
"If it comes down to it screw the moon stones, you're all that matters." Hayley cupped her cheeks
"I'll be fine. Take care of my sister." Marjorie smiled and Hayley chuckled, kissing her forehead before allowing Elijah to speed them out of the room
Marjorie crossed her arms over her chest and stood with her back to the wall, not trusting the people around her in the slightest as she kept an eye on Genevieve casting the spell.
One of the security guard busting into the room made Marjorie jump in surprise before relaxing as he grabbed Francesca's arm.
"Not yet." Francesca held her hand up to him
"Ms. Correa, we need to go. Your brothers are already headed out the back." He told her
"Maybe you should listen to your friend there, I'd hate for you to break a nail if things get dicey." Marjorie smiled sarcastically
"Don't worry about me hun." Francesca smirked before turning back to watch Genevieve and Marjorie just rolled her eyes and turned back as well.
"Materi lunare tua virtuse. Materi lunare tua virtuse." The sound of Marjorie's phone buzzing interrupted Genevieve's chanting, seeing it was Hayley calling her she was just about to answer when she heard Genevieve stop chanting. "The stones are finished. I've done my part. Now, it's up to you."
Marjorie put her phone back in her pocket and stepped forward, reaching to grab the stone.
"I'll get those to Hayley so she can take them to the bayou." Marjorie said but stopped when Genevieve held her hand out towards her and Francesca rushed forward
"Actually, she was talking to me." Francesca smirked as she held her hand out to Genevieve
"What?" Marjorie furrowed her brows before scoffing. "Ok, what the hell is going on here?"
Genevieve shot Marjorie an apologetic smile before dumping the stones into Francesca's hand making Marjorie shake her head.
"Of course. You little bitch, I told them not to trust you!" Marjorie snarled before turning back to Francesca. "What do you think you're doing?"
"It's called a side deal. The point is, I'm taking the stones." Francesca starts to walk away but stops when Marjorie mutters a spell, stopping her from leaving the room. "What are you doing?"
"You're not leaving with those stones. You don't honestly think you and the humans stand a change against my family do you, because if so then you're more idiotic than you look." Marjorie chuckled unamused
"No, I don't. But, I'm not human." Francesca pulls out a knife, and uses it to slit the throat of her bodyguard. When the bodyguard dies, she doubles over in pain. She looks back up at Marjorie with gold eyes and fangs, revealing that she had just triggered her werewolf curse.
"Oh you've got to be kidding me." Marjorie huffed rubbing her forehead in frustration
"I was just like you Marjorie, an untriggered wolf. But now, I'm a wolf just like Hayley and your little soulmate. And gonna take back my town!" Francesca had a wicked smile on her face
"Good luck with that, bitch!" Marjorie snapped before grabbing a letter opener off the desk and lunging forward
Before Marjorie could reach Francesca, everything went black as Genevieve used a spell to knock Marjorie unconscious. The teen fell to the floor, her forehead smacking against the concrete with a sickening crack. Genevieve sighed before turning back to Francesca and handing her the rest of the stones, her features filled with guilt and nervousness.
Genevieve knew she was doing what she had to do, but at the same time once the Mikaelson's got word of her and the witches plans they would all come for her.
"Don't look so dour, Genevieve. We both got what we wanted." Francesca smirked looking down at the unconscious girl before leaving the room
Genevieve pulled out her phone and knelt down next to Marjorie, rolling her over onto her back taking in the large cut across her forehead.
"I've got Marjorie. Bring the wolf to St. Anne's and we'll begin phase one." Genevieve spoke before hanging up and looking down at Marjorie. "I'm sorry it had to be this way."
As two witches came into the room Genevieve stood up watching as they attached the anti magic cuffs to Marjorie's wrists before they picked her up and carried her away.
●・○・●・○・●
Marjorie's eyes fluttered open as she felt herself being carried over someone's shoulder before she was harshly dropped to the ground making her groan in pain.
"Ow!" Marjorie sneered as she looked up to find herself surrounded by witches, Genevieve in front of them. "What are you doing? Let me go!"
"I'm afraid I can't do that Marjorie. The ancestors have been very clear about their demands." Genevieve said as she squatted down in front of her
"What are you talking about?" Marjorie furrowed her brows before noticing the heavy chains on her wrists, recognizing them from when they first kidnapped her 9 months ago. "Take these off!"
"To be reborn, you must sacrifice." Monique told her
"I'm sorry, I don't speak psychotic bitch! Translation please?" Marjorie scoffed as she pushed Monique away from her
"The ancestors are demanding an offering in exchange for power." Genevieve informed her, a guilty expression taking over her face
"Ok, then go get a freaking goat or something." Marjorie sighed in frustration
"The ancestors want you Marjorie. You must be the offering, it is what has been demanded." Monique said making Marjorie's heart drop
"No. No way! I swear to God, let me go now! I will kill all of you! Let me go!" Marjorie thrashed as two of the witches grabbed ahold of her and pulled her to her feet
"No, you won't! And neither will Klaus, or Elijah! Or especially Killian." Monique smirked before turning over her shoulder. "Bring him in!"
The doors burst open and two of the witches came in dragging a struggling Killian with them making Marjorie gasp.
"Kil." Marjorie stammered feeling a deep sense of dread fill her body

Authors Note:
Only one chapter left of season one!
Sorry for the cliffhanger, but I promise it will all be worth it.
I'm so excited to hear what you think about this chapter, especially about Marjorie and Killian's first kiss!
I'm thinking about adding some smut to this book, when the time comes.
Probably not until later in season two or maybe even season three, Marjorie will be turning 18 next chapter so that does make me feel better since she won't be underaged.
But she's still Marjorie and she's my baby so it might be a little weird for me lol, but if you guys want it you'll get it!
I hope you guys enjoy this chapter, and as always please vote and comment!!
See you next chapter, I can't wait!!!
