"Klaus... I... I-I-I-I didn't mean to..." - Elijah began to speak with a clutch to his head, tears beginning to gather around his eyes, which was understandable, since, as I recall, he didn't exactly have the same feelings for Hayley, and in this mess, she almost lost her life.

And since my ears are getting such good news, it all worked out just right.

After a while, he froze, as if remembering something.

"Klaus... the deal... it's still on, isn't it?" - Looking at his brother with sad and guilty eyes Elijah said. So this spell gave him back his lost memory and it didn't affect his love for this girl at all.

Hearing Elijah's words, Klaus grimaced and grimaced but still answered:

"Yes, brother, a promise is a promise..." - Swallowing his own resentment toward his brother, the Firstborn replied. He took a small, four centimeter-high glass bottle from his pocket and put it in the vampire's hand.

"Thank you, brother..." - Elijah whispered almost, before he vanished into space, turning into an elusive blurred silhouette.

"It was to be expected." - I threw the phrase into the silence, and it was as if everyone was awake.

"...Yes, but..." - Hope wanted to say something, but she was quickly and abruptly interrupted.

"All that's left is to deal with this group of vampire opposition..." - said Klaus with a smile, his face a bloodthirsty grin of a butcher.

Ho-ho-ho, I do not envy those who face him in the near future, there is a certainty that there will be a bloodbath.

"Daddy, you're not going to do anything to Uncle, are you?" - Hope asked worriedly. She's a good girl. Just like her mother...

"Of course...no, though, no anyway, now he's like a walking punishment to himself." - With a sigh, the father replied to his sweet daughter. If only I had more time, I would probably hit on her, but I like her, and her character is explosive, as I remember what she did in the TV series, and now in the real material world, I want to become more engaged in ... magic, yes.

Oh, speaking of which.

"Freya, now that Elijah and I are done, would you mind helping me with something?" - I turned to her.

"Which one?" - She sounded a little surprised and a little interested.

"It would be nice if you checked whether I have a magical source and predisposition to magic in general?" - I gave a charming smile to the charming woman.

"Oh, that's right, isn't it?" - she just exclaimed, and her voice was already full of zeal and action.

"So, while you have a free minute, let's check it right now." - I said. Because I will not make myself languish any longer, because magic is not only useful in the household, but my family will be a great help, and also do not forget that I want to carry out the same ritual and you.

"Good! I'll just find the tome and we'll start testing it right away!" - Freya clapped her hands together in sheer emotion.

While I stayed in place to wait for the witch, Klaus, Hayley and Rebecca went to contact Marcel Gerard, Hope several times tried to stay, but her mother growled softly at her and she had to give up.

Marcel, in fact, was Nicklaus' adopted child. I don't remember exactly how and under what circumstances they met, but it is an undeniable fact that Klaus raised Marcel.

Also, don't forget that Gerard is Rebecca's husband, they even had a whole love story there like some kind of romantic tragicomedy, as Klaus opposed their relationship. Ugh that family drama.

Also Marcel, if I'm not confused by memory, is supposed to be the leader of the vampires of the French Quarter now. So he has some power in New Orleans, maybe not as much as the Michaelsons, but not much less.

"So I found the right folio, the one that spells out how you can tell if you have a gift for magic or not." - The witch's pleasant voice snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Mistress Jenna" - this was addressed to the deeply thoughtful girl who was looking somewhere over the horizon with a kind of puppy-like devotion

Hearing someone call her through the shroud of thoughtfulness, it was as if Jenna had just woken up and emerged from a kind of trance.

"Huh? Are we there?" - her voice was nervous, detached, and bored. No, it wasn't that her master's assignment didn't suit her. No, not at all. On the contrary, she was very pleased that Master Aro trusted her enough to give her such a task.

Though the girl was willing to perform it with full dedication, she would have enjoyed her time with her master more.

"No Mistress, not yet. But we shall soon arrive at our destination." - Not satisfied with her answer, she fell silent, and all her thoughts once more began to swirl around her master and master.

Supporting her head with her fist and putting her elbow on the car door, the girl looked out the window, and a new happy smile bloomed on her face, bringing some thoughts that made Jenna so insistently want to show human blush.

Since, Jenna was just an ordinary person, the choice fell on the sports car, though it looked a little flashy, but there was no need to choose, because the faster he coped with her task, the faster she would be back under the wing of her master.

The task was quite simple, to capture the Denali family and bring them on the carpet directly to Aro Volturi. Especially for this, the girl was assigned a squad of vampires with strong abilities.

"It was a pleasure to visit you, Esme you were as lovely and charming as always!" - Tanya took the floor as the oldest of the sisters, smiling spellboundly at the hostess of the house she and the rest of the Denali family had spent some time in.

"I'm sorry you all wanted to leave us so soon, but I completely understand, you will always be welcome in our home." - The woman said.

"And if you ever have any problems, no matter what, no matter when, then feel free to contact us! We will always help you!" - After Esme exchanged a few words with the Denali women, Carlisle said.

The rest of the Cullens supported Carlisle's proposal, too, with their exuberant joyful reaction, especially Edward's sister Alice, in spite of her foresight she could be called the most positive and energetic girl in the Cullen family.

"Can you feel it?" - Emma asked, puzzled, as they ran somewhere through the woods.

"Yes, our connection to Alex has... intensified and strangely transformed..." - In the same way, Irina broached the subject.

"It's weird, but the important thing is that we can feel him." - smiling happily Tanya said, to which Kate nodded in agreement thinking to herself: "I wish I could see him sooner, even though he promised to come back, but it's getting harder and harder every day without him, not only for me, but also for the others," she skewed her gaze at the trio.

[Another reality. Beacon Hills. The day before...]

"You didn't explain anything to us?" - A young man named Scott McCall said, questioningly and with a touch of reproach.

"If you want to save Stiles, kill him." - said the woman seriously as she looked at her daughter and Scott. - "There's no other way."

After exchanging a few phrases, Scott was still unhappy, which is what he wanted to express in his next speech, if not for the sudden notification that came on his phone.

"Derek's loft," the notification turned out to be the message he read.

"There's a way to save him...there has to be!" - Scott tossed one last word before running out of the room he was in.
