[ESTONIA: 1500s.]
While in Estonia, Kol and Natali were looking for some spell book.
- "So one more grimoire in our possession." Natali stated cheerfully as they exited the house where they've slaughtered the whole family of witches just to get a grimoire that contains a bunch of powerful spells.
Kol smirked at her and just as he wanted to reply he wasn't next to her anymore.
- "Kol?" Natali called him out turning around to see where did he sped off.
Then she saw a man holding a stake set right towards Kol's heart.
- "Who the hell are you?" Natali exclaimed and he gave a man a headache.
- "You are going to need to do better than that to sustain me, witch." The man growled under his breath, just before he flashed towards her and caught her in a choke hold.
- "I have no idea where Nik is, so leave us alone." Kol growled at him and Natali narrowed her eyes realizing who that was.
- "This is Mikael?" Natali said, trying to break free.
- "You don't know where he is, but I can see she is a witch, so why wouldn't she do a little locator spell to find him?" Mikael suggested as she pushed Natali down onto the floor.
- "I won't do anything for you." Natali growled as she lifted herself up.
- "Find that bastard or I will kill Kol." Mikael threatened, flashing over to Kol again, then he turned back towards Natali, "So are you going to let Kol die or-"
- Natali's eyes were locked on Kol's, "I will find him." she said quickly.
- "Fantastic." Mikael said.
- "Let him go first." Natali demanded.
- "I'm not letting him go until you don't find Niklaus." Mikael spoke.
- "Do it, darling. I'll be fine." Kol assured her and she glanced at him.
She reluctantly opened a grimoire that they just collected and found a locator spell. After Kol gave her his blood she began chanting on the Estonian language, "Lase verel näidata inimese asukohta, keda ma arvan."
Blood traveled across the Baltic sea and stopped when it reached a location where Klaus was, in Copenhagen.
- Mikael took a look at the map, he smirked wickedly before glancing at Kol and Natali for one last time, "If you try to warn him I'll find you again. It wasn't that hard to follow your tracks." and with those words, he disappeared into the night.

[THE PRESENT DAY:]
Outside on the streets of the French Quarter, Cami is wandering around the raucous All Hallow's Eve festivities, where the streets are packed full of people in various stages of inebriation and costumes who are partying the day away as Rebirth Brass Band (ft Erica Falls) plays "Rebirth Makes You Dance."
She pulls out her phone to call Davina and is very pleased when the witch actually answers it.
- "Finally, you pick up your phone!" Cami exclaimed, "I've been trying to get a hold of you for days! Way to leave a girl hanging."
- "I know, I should have called you back. I didn't want you to worry. I just.. things are complicated." Davina apologizes for being distant but insists that she didn't want her to worry.
- "Yeah, well, word on the streets - and, by streets, I mean Josh - is that you've gone totally MIA. Seriously, are you okay? Where are you?" Cami replies.
- "I'm fine. I'll be back soon, I promise. And.. thanks for calling. It's good to hear your voice." Davina assures her that she's okay before she hung up.
- Davina? Davina? Cami says, she sighs and checks her phone to see that the call has disconnected. Understandably, Cami seems almost appalled that Davina would just hang up on her without giving her any deets into what's been going on in her life.
- Behind her, Klaus stands smirking and gets her attention by calling out, "Well, that was rather rude!" Cami turns quickly and gapes at him completely speechless, which makes him smirk in amusement, "Well, it's a pleasure to see you, too, Camille!" he adds.
- Cami finally manages to find her voice and wastes no time calling him out for ignoring her for months, "Don't.. Don't do that crooked-smile thing, okay? I haven't seen you for months, and now you're.. appearing out of the blue? What do you want?"
- When she asks what he wants, he gets right to the point, "Well, I have a rather long list of people I need to track down and deal with and at the top of that list is a certain runaway witch."
- "Maybe she just doesn't want to be found." Cami tells him.
- "And for good reason. Had I magically freed the insane, vampire-hunting father of my sworn enemy, I'd be hiding too!" Klaus told her.
- Cami is stunned to hear this news, "Wait, what?"
- Klaus just raises his eyebrows, "Oh, haven't you heard? Mikael the Destroyer is back! And, by all accounts, under the complete control of your little friend, Davina."
- Cami immediately starts to worry about Davina's safety, "Well, you heard her, clearly. She didn't say where she was!"
- "Oh, on the contrary, love. You just had to know how to listen." Klaus told her and explained that he used his hybrid senses, "For instance, I heard cicadas and I heard tans, but the real giveaway was the church bells. Did you know Davina's family owns a little cabin in Terrebonne Parish? It's been abandoned for years! But, a brief glimpse at a map showed its just a mile from the loveliest little chapel."
- Cami sighs knowing where he's going with this, "So, what's the plan?"
- "Well, the way I see it if Davina wants to use Mikael to kill me, we just have two options. One, you reason with her. Two? Well, I don't think you'd like two very much." Klaus gives her the opportunity to sway Davina to their side before he resorts to his usual means of dealing with enemies.
- Cami considers it for a moment and since she's not an idiot, she realizes that Davina's best chance at survival is if she tags along, so she sighs and reluctantly agrees to come with him, "Fine. Let's go."
Then the two of them begin to walk down the street and head off to Davina's cabin.
⚜ ✡ ⚜ ✡ ⚜ ✡
Natali was using Kol's blood to locate Mikael and after a few attempts, she managed to find him. When they've called Klaus to tell him he wasn't picking up his phone so they decided to go there without him.
Meanwhile, Klaus has just arrived to the cabin. He walks up onto the porch to peek through the windows, though he can't see anything. Then he walks across the porch and looks into another window, but also can't see anything. He feels a gush of wind behind him and turns around just to see that Kol and Natali have arrived.
- "Is she here?" Klaus asks them, already guessing what their answer will be.
- "Oh yes, she is." Natali replied, "I feel the magic, a cloaking spell in fact and she is not alone."
Davina and her friend were inside of the cabin chanting a spell to appear invisible, "Keschede sede ni canun. Keschede senu ni.. Excede canun infernum da ba nunc canun. Senon canu ni.." while Mikael was standing near the window, watching Klaus and gripping the white oak stake in his hand.
When Klaus goes to look around in the yard, he sees a staff with the crest of his family's clan carved on it and grabs it before angrily throwing it through the window like a javelin. Inside, Davina and Kaleb both see the staff in time to duck for cover, but Davina ends up knocking her head so hard on the edge of a nearby trunk that she knocks herself out.
- "Enough games, Davina!" Klaus shouts from the porch, "Send out my father! Let's finish this."
Kaleb is in the middle of checking on Davina when Mikael comes and grabs him in a choke-hold.
- "Release me! Or I will kill you right now!" Mikael growls and drops him onto the floor.
- "DAVINA! Is this not why you brought him for? I'm not afraid!" Klaus yells again.
Kaleb grabs Davina's bracelet-clad wrist and starts mumbling something on French, "Dinti tu e sedo per un dayen un trahen ble doce mozore. Un frantue e sedo per un dayen un trahen ble do sedo per."
Davina's bracelet starts to glow, and Mikael closes his eyes in pleasure and sighs in relief, feeling the power of the curse lifting.
Klaus is continuing to wait impatiently outside when he hears the sound of the door creaking open and Mikael exits to finally have another face to face with his step-son.
- Mikael walks onto the porch and smirks, "Hello, boy." he spits and though Klaus is trying his best to look cool and confident his face is betraying quite a bit of fear, "You seem rather impatient. Are you so eager to meet your end?"
- Klaus just steps towards him, "I'm only eager to stand over your burning corpse. And I intend to enjoy it."
They continue on with the hysterically dramatic banter before they gear up for the big fight.
- Mikael walks down the stairs of the front porch and approaches him, "I've traveled all the way back from hell for this moment."
- Klaus smiles, "Well then, I'd hate to keep you waiting!"
He lunges first towards Mikael and the fight starts in earnest. Both fighters are able to block the other's blows, but it's pretty obvious that Mikael has the upper-hand, even this early on in their throwdown. He eventually kicks Klaus down onto the ground and then kicks him again so that he's laying flat on his back. He grabs Klaus in a choke-hold and is about to stake him when Kol appears and hits Mikael. Mikael rose up to his feet fast as did Klaus and looks at his son. He was a little surprised that Kol was on Klaus' side, but that didn't stop him to lunge towards them again. Klaus quickly grabs the stake, which was laying on the ground between them and they begin to fight again.
While Kol and Klaus were fighting Mikael, Natali walked up onto the porch of the cabin and looks through the window into a room where Davina was still laying on the floor and her friend was beside her. Her eyes glance over at Davina's wrist and she sees a familiar bracelet.
- "Bracelet of obedience." Natali whispers under her breath. She clenches her jaw realizing that Davina used one of Kol's and her's dark objects that they've made in the 1900s.
A boy that was next to Davina noticed Natali and when he looks up at her he saw that she had an angry expression on her face.
- "Give me my bracelet back." Natali demands in a harsh tone.
- A boy flinched for a moment then looks down at Davina's wrist, "This bracelet?" he asks, clearly a little bit scared.
- "Yes. That bracelet, you stupid little idiot." Natali says through her teeth, "Give that back or I'll rip you to shreds."
A boy quickly takes off the bracelet from Davina's hand and throws it to Natali who catches it.
- "Now tell me, where did she find it?" Natali tells him.
- "How am I suppose to know that?" Kaleb told her.
- "Well, in that case, make sure to tell her that I'm going to find out." Natali says.
While fighting Mikael managed to snap Kol's neck and continue fighting only Klaus. Since his most important goal is to kill him. Once again he knocks Klaus flat on the ground and holds him in a choke-hold as he tries to stake him, while Klaus desperately tries to keep the stake from piercing his skin. Eventually, Mikael manages to stab him in the shoulder. Klaus screams in pain and grabs Papa Tunde's blade from his jacket before stabbing Mikael in the chest with it. Mikael screams out in pain and falls to the ground as the knife begins to embed itself in Mikael's chest. Klaus pulls the stake out of his shoulder and rises to his feet.
Natali runs back to them when she heard screams and sees Kol laying on the ground.
- "What happened?" Natali asked.
- "Don't worry, Mikael just broke his neck." Klaus tells her.
- "What did you do to Mikael?" Natali asked as she looked at his body on the ground.
- "I stabbed him with Papa Tunde's blade." Klaus informs her.
- "Papa Tunde's blade?" Natali questioned confused since Kol and she weren't in New Orleans when the blade was made and used on Kalus.
- "Yes. A little gift from ancestors. The pain is agonizing." Klaus tells her.
⚜ ✡ ⚜ ✡ ⚜ ✡
In the French Quarter, the All Hallows Eve party continues to rage on, as costumed party-goers drink and generally act messy as only people in New Orleans can to the sounds of Rebirth Brass Band's "Rebirth Groove."
Kol and Natali have returned to their club and he immediately walks towards the bar and pours them two glasses of whiskey. Natali follows him and places a bracelet she took from Davina onto the bar.
- Kol looks at the bracelet, immediately recognizing it, as Natali starts speaking, "Davina has dark objects, she was keeping Mikael under control with our bracelet of obedience."
- "What? How does she have that?" Kol asked.
- "I don't know, but maybe it's time for us to find every last one of the dark objects." Natali says.
