A Mikaelson Thanksgiving Part One
The group go up into the attic of the St Louis Cathedral to meet with Freya, who has lit dozens of white candles in preparation for more spellwork as they discuss what they have learned in the last day or so.
Lizzie was wearing a sweater with a leather jacket, a pant and some boots.
"So where is Klaus?" Faye asked.
Faye was wearing a top with a leather jacket, a pant and some boots.
"When I told him about Rebekah, they said he'd pursue another lead." Freya sighed.
Elijah takes Freya's athame and uses it to slice open his palm so he can bleed into a bronze bowl on the table, which lays on top of a large, pristine paper map that covers the entire table top.
"Forget Niklaus. You will find her." Elijah said as he whips out his handkerchief, which he uses to clean up his hands after he finishes bleeding into the bowl. He then hands the bowl to Freya.
"Now, you sure you got enough ju-ju for a world-wide locator spell?" Marcel asked warily.
Freya narrows her eyes determinedly, saying "She's my family. I won't lose her."
Freya takes a deep breath before putting her hands around the rim of the bowl of blood and beginning the spell "Le six ce strul no cruv. Le six ce strul no cruv."
The Mikaelson continues the spell as she pours the bowl full of blood onto the map where Africa is situated " Le six ce strul no cruv."
She hands the bowl to Elijah, who joins her, Hayley, Marcel, Faye, Lizzie, Sage and Luke in watching the map hopefully. Freya focuses all of her energy on concentrating on Rebekah, but the blood just spreads out until it is covering the entire map.
"Damnit!" Freya says in frustration.
" Well, so much for witch-GPS."Hayley sighed and crossed her arms.
"I assumed they'd cloaked her. I didn't expect a spell this strong." Freya admitted.
"No doubt conjured by the very witch who lured Rebekah into this trap."Lizzie says anxiously.
Freya sighs, visibly frustrated and stressed by this turn of events, before sitting down at her table to brainstorm "You should all go. I have my work cut out for me."
"The Strix trust me. If they know where Rebekah is, I can find her." Marcel stated but Elijah shakes his head.
"There's no time. You need to stop Davina from activating Lucien and Tristan's weapon." Elijah instructed.
"We need to find Rebekah!" Lizzie exclaimed.
Elijah groaned impatiently "Elizabeth, I will not rest until my sister is found."
"All right. I'll handle Davina." Marcel said as he speeds out of the attic.
"Well, in the meantime, please tell me that we're gonna kill someone?"Fayee asked.
"Oh, we're going to kill many someones. But first... if we are to start a war, let us determine where allegiances lie." Elijah smiled as he turns without another word and leaves the cathedral.
Some time later, at the compound, Elijah and Klaus was talking about their plan with Faye and Lizzie to get Rebekah's back.
"What is your plan, using Aurora to get Rebekah's back? You've gone completely mad!" Elijah told his brother.
"You see madness, I see method!" Klaus told him.
" And that method would be what, Niklaus? To befriend the she-devils who took our sister?" Elijah says, rolling his eyes.
"To be clear, The Strix took our sister. Aurora simply hijacked her. I will get Rebekah back. Trust me. Keeping Aurora and Nora close garners the goodwill we need." Klaus corrected.
Klaus sips his drink as Elijah considers this plan and said "Well, it is a bold... if lecherous... plan. Will you employ the same tactic when it comes time to retrieve the medallion from Nora, Lucien and Tristan?"
"It wouldn't work with them." Klaus scoffed.
Elijah, thoroughly exasperated by Klaus' behavior, sighs deeply and closes his eyes for a long moment until Klaus, understanding Elijah's fear, sighs as well "There must be another way."
"Aurora will always protect Tristan and Nora... And, given that they and Lucien are aligned, the three of them together have a distinct advantage on us." Elijah stated.
Klaus intrigued by where Elijah is going with this, and Elijah suddenly gets an idea "Unless we break that advantage."
"Now there's a strategy I wholeheartedly endorse! What do you have in mind?" Klaus smiled.
"It's Thanksgiving. Let's invite them for a friendly meal, systematically turn them against one another, and then devastate their pitiful alliance!" Elijah suggested with a smile.
Klaus grins devilishly at Elijah, and the two tap their glasses against each other in toast.
" I can feel the holiday spirit already!" Elijah smiled.
"And you were right. Aurora is still obsessed with me. I think that Aurora is jealous of the life I have with you. She sees you as a threat." Klaus said to Lizzie.
"Well regardless of what you say, I will be attending the feast." Faye sighed.
"Me too even thought I hate Thankgiving since I hate that holiday and it was always too much for me. I always prefer holidays like Halloween or Easter or Valentine's Day. But Thankgiving not so much." Lizzie said before she added "There is something else."
"What?"Elijah asked.
"I had tried to call Cami. I can't reach to her. "Lizzie explained.
"We called Luke and he said he haven't been able to reach to her either."Faye sighed.
"You think Aurora, Nora, Lucien or Tristan did something to her?" Elijah asked, worried.
"Yeah, we think. Maybe they kidnap her."Faye shrugged.
"Well good thing Sage is spending thanksgiving with Jackson and Hayley today."Elijah said.
Later on, Lizzie and Faye walks down the stairs, walking over to the bar.
Faye was wearing a dark blue dress with some heels.
Lizzie was wearing a dark red dress with some heels.
Tristan walks in smiling brightly at the girls.
"Aw, flowers for me? You shouldn't have!" Lucien laughed.
Tristan rolled his eyes handing the bouquets to the girls "They're for the ladies of the house."
"They're beautiful, thank you." Faye smiled.
"The well-mannered bring a gift when invited to dinner. I assume you brought nothing?"Tristan told Lucien as he takes a seat besides Lucien on a bar stool.
Lucien chuckled snarkily "Nothing but my deepest respect for you."
Lizzie lifted up the bottle of Bourbon, down a glass smiling at the two men watching her and her friends.
Klaus then appeared dressed handsomely in a black velvet dinner jacket paired with his dark henley and jeans.
"Lovely. We're all getting along!" Klaus grinned.
"Mmm, like a fuse and a match." Lucien smiled.
Klaus turned to Tristan and asked "I take it Aurora and Nora is on their way?"
At the sound of their names, Aurora waltzes into the room in a vintage, dark-purple velvet dress with large, puffy sleeves while Nora waltzes into a room wearing a one shoulder green dress and they both smiles widely at those in the room "Sorry we're late. Just freshening up. We did want to look pretty."
Aurora and Nora walks toward Lucien, who seems to have been momentarily stricken speechless by the sight of Aurora and Aurora said "Well, well. If it isn't my old friend Lucien."
"Hello, Aurora. It's been ages. You look ravishing." Lucien blinked.
"Hello, brother."Nora smirked.
Elijah descends the staircase and said "Welcome to our home! I do wish it was under better circumstances. We all face a common threat... a prophecy warning that my siblings and I would all fall within a year. I fear my sister already has."
"Only as a precautionary measure, I assure you." Tristan speaks up.
" Interesting. You see, I would have called it an entirely unnecessary measure. We need to unite to prevent the prophecy from coming to pass. And, since any alliance is impossible without honesty..." Elijah acknowledges.
Klaus, Faye, Lizzie and Elijah share a quick look.
"Let us begin this evening's proceedings by formally acknowledging your clandestine alliance." Klaus said.
Lucien and Tristan look surprised at the revelation, unaware that they knew about their collaboration.
" Now gentlemen, before..." Lucien trailed.
Elijah quickly and patronizingly cuts Lucien off before he can finish his sentence "Shh, shh, shh, shh. Lucien, please. Let's not ruin the dinner before it begins."
"And, do try to bear in mind, we expect and honest and productive negotiation this evening!" Klaus explained.
"Mmhmm." Tristan mumbled.
"Shall we begin?" Lizzie smirked.
