As I predicted Rebekah wasn't far behind her brothers, it wasn't much of a coincidence that a pile of dead vampires ended up in the middle of the quarter upon her arrival, I always did like her style.
The annual charity ball that I had been planning to attend took place but as I was staying hidden so I didn't attend, I was also still no closer to figuring out what the Mikaelsons were hiding.
Apparently from what Marcel told me I missed one hell of a shin-dig. Thierry, Marcel's right hand man had killed a night walker to save his witchy girlfriend. Then just as Marcel was about to sentence his best-friend, Thierry's girlfriend tried to kill Marcellus I laughed at the thought.
Then Klaus the so-called hero, killed the witch just before she could kill Marcellus, how convenient. I knew Niklaus was trying to gain Marcel's trust and it wouldn't surprise me if he set the whole thing up in the first place.
In the end, Thierry was sentenced to spend time in the garden, a prison for vampires who broke Marcels law, where they were chained up and starved for decades at a time, served him right for dating a witch, they lead to nothing but trouble.
I knew I couldn't stay in the shadows for much longer, even though Marcel and the vampires were keeping me a secret I knew it wouldn't be long before a witch or human mentioned me Klaus or Rebekah.
The map I had added the originals blood was another source of confusion when it came to the original family, it showed me the siblings movement but that wasn't the strange thing, the fact that Rebekah and Klaus had been to the Bayou quite a few times was what befuddled me, why on earth would they be in the bayou.
It was after the ball I decided to get some answers for myself, I knew sitting around my home wasn't helping me figure out what the originals were up to, Marcel was no use as he was actually starting to trust Klaus what a fool.
I guess if you want something done right do it yourself.
***
I ran to the plantation at vampire speed, coming to a stop at the large porch, I quietly placed the expensive bottle of champagne, with a red bow and small note attached on the welcome mat.
Welcome back, don't worry I'll be in touch very soon
All my love
G.
My note read, I mumbled a cloaking spell under my breath, the spell made me and my scent invisible, I then knocked on the door and waited.
I heard soft footsteps approached, I guessed it was Rebekah as Niklaus usually stomped about.
The door opened but it wasn't Rebekah or Klaus, it was a young woman in her early twenties with dark eyes and even darker hair, with glowing olive skin. Her scent told me that she was not only a wolf but a pregnant one.
The girl looked around her eyes dropping down to the bottle of champagne, she stepped slightly outside looking around suspiciously before picking up the bottle and going back inside locking the door behind her.
I followed her footsteps to the parlour and I stood outside the large window looking in at Klaus and Rebekah, wondering why a pregnant wolf was staying with them.
"Who the hell is G?" the wolf questioned as she walked into the room, I could hear everything as clear as a bell thanks to my advanced hearing.
"What are you talking about now little wolf" Klaus sighed in annoyance.
Thanks to the large windows I could also see everything that was happening. I watched as she handed the hybrid the bottle, I smirked as both he and Rebekah's expressions dropped, they had obviously read the note.
"It can't be Nik" Rebekah gasped.
"Elijah said she died" the blonde continued, making me scoff.
"Obviously, our brother was wrong, because it looks like the siren of New Orleans is alive and well" Klaus mused.
"It could be a trick maybe ..."
"I doubt it Rebekah, if I remember correctly Elijah used to import this stuff by the case load for his dear siren" he remembered how touching.
"I'll have to ask our good friend Marcel why he didn't tell us that she was still alive!" Klaus continued slamming the bottle down on the table, I was surprised it didn't smash due to his actions.
"Nik you know that Marcel would do anything Giselle sayes, he's always been wary of her ever since he was a child" Bekah snapped defending Marcel just like old times.
"It doesn't matter he lied to us Rebekah" Klaus shouted.
"That doesn't matter right now Nik, the bigger question is how did she know we were staying here and what if she finds out about Haley and the baby?" Rebekah questioned gesturing to the wolf who until now had stood quietly in the room watching the sibling bicker.
"Who is this Giselle person anyway" the wolf asked rubbing her prominent belly.
"Hopefully no one for you to worry about love" Klaus sighed pinching the bridge of his nose.
"But who is she?" the wolf persisted.
"Elijah's wife" Rebekah finally answered.
"If she is Elijah's wife then why are you two so worried about her knowing I'm carrying your child?" Haley questioned gesturing in Klaus direction.
I chocked on my own spit when the wolf finished, this was the last thing I expected to find out coming here tonight, how was this even possible I wondered.
"Because all of us thought she was dead for a century" Bekah answered.
"And until I know what she wants, I don't want Giselle Claire anywhere near my child" Klaus snapped storming out of the room.
"One last question, why are you both so on edge I mean she can't be that bad if someone like Elijah married her" Haley wondered, obviously confused by the entire situation.
"Giselle isn't just a vampire, she's also a very powerful very dark witch, it's frightening what she can do and that's coming from an original, if she's on Marcel's side then we are in some serious trouble" Rebekah stated.
I left after Rebekah's statement knowing that I had rattled them enough for one night, on the way home I mulled over my new-found knowledge wondering how the hell Klaus got someone pregnant.
***
It was time for the big reveal, it happened the night after the festival when Davina was supposed to be moved to a safe house, something happened I was unclear on the details, but all I knew was that Davina was still in the attic.
That wasn't the reason for my decision, Elijah's blood on my map had moved he was back at the plantation with his siblings and Klaus baby Mama, I don't know how Elijah was freed but he was.
This called for the perfect outfit, I looked in my closet searching for something that would make a statement, a moment later the perfect outfit caught my eye.
I looked in the mirror after I had finished getting ready. This would definably catch their attention. It had been nearly a century since I seen them so forgive me if I wanted to look unforgettable. I was wearing a skin tight black crop-top my bust looked fantastic! I paired it with a white pencil skirt, which was like a second skin, that stopped just over my knees.
I wore six inch white snappy sandals and my feet, my dark hair was slightly wavy and pulled to the side. My lips were painted red to while my eyes had mascara and black eyeliner to help them stand out and I carried a small metallic clutch in my hand.
I left the house as soon as I was ready, I decided to drive my car as there was no way I was ruining my hair by running.
I got there in record time thanks to my fast driving which was like something out of the fast and furious, I stopped my car a good distance from the house as I wanted the element of surprise deciding to leave my clutch in the car just encase things got physical. I sped to the door and listened for a moment all was quite except for a strange scrubbing sound.
"Aperta" I whispered and the door opened, I stepped inside thankfully the Mikaelsons hadn't put the house in a human's name just yet.
I walked toward the living area remembering this house like the back of my hand thanks to all the parties the governor threw back in the day.
The sight I was met with was almost comical, Rebekah was on the floor scrubbing a stain from carpet which I assumed was blood, while Klaus sat on the sofa reading.
"The recession must have really hit you hard if you're on your hands and knees scrubbing floors, you know you can compel people to do that Bekah" I smirked, gaining both their attention.
Rebekah looked at me eyes wide with shock, stopping her task immediately while Klaus sat still in his position mouth hanging open in shock, at a loss for words.
I walked further into the room looking around pretending to be interested in the décor.
"Giselle" Rebekah whispered now stood up from her previous position on the floor.
"You sound shocked did you not get my gift?" I questioned playing dumb, knowing full well they had received my bottle of champagne.
"How ... how are you Giselle?" Rebekah asked, trying to regain her composure, as her eyes darted to the entrance of the living room, no doubt worried about me finding out their secret.
"Fantastic" I replied to her, before turning my attention to Klaus.
"No hello Klaus and I thought we were friends" I pouted.
"What exactly are you doing here?" he demanded in a light tone, they both seemed nervous, they really didn't want me finding out about this baby.
"Do I need an excuse to come see old friends" I questioned my eyes narrowing suspiciously.
"Of course, not love" Klaus laughed, plastering a fake smile on his face.
I smiled back walking to the drinks table, finding the bottle of champagne I had gifted them with.
"Don't mind, do you?" I asked, not waiting for an answer as I pulled the cork from the bottle.
"It is my favourite after all, your brother used to personally import it for me during prohibition if I remember correctly" I smiled pouring myself a glass, making a moaning sound as I took a sip.
"So, a little birdy told me you finally broke that pesky curse, congrats" I grinned handing both siblings a glass, before I continued to wonder around the room.
"Thank you, Giselle, now how about we go out for a proper drink" Klaus suggested trying to get me out of the mansion.
I ignored him placing my glass down on the coffee table picking up the book he had be reading and flicking through it.
"Poetry about poisoned apples from dead trees looks like someone is worried about becoming a first-time daddy" I said grinning like a Cheshire cat as both their faces dropped but before they could say anything Elijah and the werewolf in question walked into the room.
Elijah stopped his conversation with the wolf and looked at me. His mouth parted and his eyes travelled the length of my body before looking at my face it was like he was trying to remember every detail of me. Finally, his eyes met mine my body shivered as he looked at me intently, sparks flew as our eyes stayed locked.
"Giselle" he whispered softly.
"Hello Elijah have you missed me?" I smiled my fist sincere one since I had got here.
"How is this possible? I saw you burn, I saw you die" he said loosing his usual calm composure, I loved that I could still get this reaction from him.
"That lover is a story for a different occasion" I said coolly breaking eye contact and turned away from him ignoring him and focusing my attention on the wolf.
"So, you must be the wolf carrying Klaus child, my condolences" I spoke, sizing her up as she squirmed under my gaze.
"That's me and you are?" she asked.
"Giselle" I stated simply.
"Right champagne girl" she replied trying to defuse the tension making me snigger slightly.
"Funny ... but I'd much prefer Giselle" I said in a tight tone making her gulp.
"I didn't catch your name" I continued.
"Haley" She squeaked.
"Now that introductions out of the way back to the reason I came here" I spoke in a curious tone as I turned to face everyone.
"You didn't just pop in to say hello then" Klaus said sarcastically I simply ignored his attitude and continued.
"I know that you've shown great interest in Davina and I also know Marcellus has made it clear that Davina is off limits but I also want to make it very clear how off limits she is, if any of you hurt her in any way shape or form you will regret it, do I make myself clear" I sneered in an ice-cold tone.
"So Marcel has you on side how did he manage to pull that" Klaus spat, while laughing without humour.
"I'm on no one's side but my own, but I see you haven't been informed on Davina's last name its Claire. Davina Claire, Giselle Claire you get the connection right" I sarcastically quipped.
"She's the last Claire witch in my families line I want it to stay that way. You forget I know you Niklaus and if you think I would stand by and let you use her, you are sadly mistaken, stay away from her and in return I'll keep your baby mama a secret also to sweeten the deal I'll even make sure she comes to no harm from Marcel and his minions" I promised.
Niklaus looked angry he always did hate being told what to do. Then the next thing I knew he was running towards me I didn't move, I simply rolled my eyes, then just when he was inches from my form he fell to the ground in complete agony he screamed and thrashed around the floor as if he was in horrible pain.
"You seem to forget who your dealing with, you may be a hybrid now but I am still and always will be stronger than you" I spoke calmly as if I was talking to a child.
I counted to five in my head and blinked stopping what I was doing. Klaus let out a deep breath and stood up using the side table for support while giving me a death glare. Haley looked on shocked while Rebekah and Elijah looked on nervously.
"Stay away from Davina" I warned as I spun on my heel to leave the mansion only to stop in front of Haley first.
"There is no greater gift then a child you should cherish it, even if the father is an undesirable candidate" I told her in a soft tone, she looked confused my kind words.
She opened her mouth to say something but I simple help up my hand and walked away, ignoring Elijah's calls.
"You owe me an explanation" he spoke grabbing my arm and spinning me around.
I walked towards him my face and body an inch from his. I brushed my lips against his not touching them fully, he tried to lean in but I turned my head to whisper in his ear.
"I owe you nothing" with that I pulled away and walked down the steps strutting away from my estranged husband.
"It was good to see you sweet husband. if you are in dire need of me I'm sure you know where to find me" I told him feeling his eyes on me until I was out of sight.
***
He watched her walk away his legs burning to go after her, he had been in her presence less than fifteen minutes and just like the first time he had seen her centuries ago he once again was hooked. Already his mind was filled with thoughts of nothing but her.
Giselle
His lost love, his greatest love. There had been others Tatia, Katherina, Celeste and even the small affection he was starting to feel for Haley, but none of these women could compare to his Giselle she was a force who had stolen his heart and soul and seeing her today, he knew she still held them tightly in her grip.
The moment his eyes met hers in the drawing room, it felt as if his world had been turned upside down. His usual calm composure went out the window, she was the only person who could do that to him. When her lips brushed his he wanted nothing more that to pull her to him and never let go but he was too slow and before he knew it she was walking away.
As if things in New Orleans weren't complicated enough the appearance of his wife, who he assumed was dead made them even more complicated.
She was his and he was hers, they belonged to one another, Elijah would show her that they belonged together.
To everyone she was a siren, but to him she was his enchantress.
.
