Mexican Standoff
Sorry everyone for not updating for like a month but I was out of the country on holidays for two weeks and it took a while to get back to normal, anyway this is a really long chapter enjoy!!
I was in my dressing room getting ready for the day as Elijah slept soundly in my bed.
It felt as though I had been taken back in time when I awoke to him holding me tightly against his naked chest. I couldn't stop smiling thinking back to the events of last night.
Today was the day of the casket girl's festival, I planned to take Davina out for the day and get her away from the compound, I knew she was properly going crazy living under the same roof as Klaus.
I decided it was also a great excuse to wear my new white grown that had just arrived from Italy.
It was a long full-length cotton gown with cap-sleeves and a little belt tied around the waist. It had a plunging neckline that stopped just above my bellybutton and from the waist down it flowed, making beautiful waves of white when I walked.
I straightened my hair and slicked it back then added a pair of chandelier earrings my make-up was minimal, except my usual smoky eyeshadow and black eyeliner.
"Would you like some help" Elijah laughed from behind me as I tried to do the zipper on my gown.
"It would be helpful" I replied smirking at him through my full-length mirror
"Allow me" he smiled and zipped up my dress, not before placing a kiss on my shoulder.
"So what do you think?" I grinned deviously, as I turned to face him.
"I think you look magnificent, but I'm not sure about this" he smirked running his fingers along down my bare chest.
"Well too bad because this dress is meant to have an audience".
I looked at his face almost laughing at the jealous expression that crossed it.
"Don't be jealous, besides I have my eye on a certain someone" I whispered wrapping my arms around his neck.
"And who is the luck gentleman" he wondered with a smirk pulling me closer.
"Your smart, figure it out" I breathed just as I felt Elijah's hand on my zip.
"You know I would love nothing more than to pick up where we left off, but I have to go see Davina. I have to make sure your brother is taking my warning seriously" I told him pulling away and walking back into my bedroom.
"Yes, I heard about your little warning" he chuckled pulling his coat on.
"And I heard about your little deal with Davina" he froze looking at me like a deer caught in headlights.
"Of all the spells in your mother's book you gave her an unlinking spell, you used her Elijah".
"Haley and the baby where in danger I had to unlink her from Sophie or the child would have died" he replied.
"I understand".
"You do?"
"Yes" I smiled he grinned back at me for a moment, that is until he started to scream in pain holding his head in agony as I popped his braincells, I counted to five and stopped leaving him slumped over breathing heavily.
"But if you ever use Davina like that again you will regret it Elijah" he nodded as he continued to catch his breath.
"Good" I grinned kissed his lips softly in apology for causing him pain.
"You care for her" he spoke intertwining our fingers.
"She's family" I spoke, leaving no room for further explanation, I could tell by the sparkle in his brown eyes that he understood.

Elijah and I went our separate ways when we walked into the compound, he pointed me in the direction of Davina's room I kissed his cheek in thanks and proceeded to Davina's new room.
When I stepped inside it was empty and her bed looked as if it hadn't been slept in, her things still in boxes, a shiver ran through me, I had a bad feeling about this.
I stepped outside the room and stopped a vampire with an afro; I knew he was part of Marcel's inner circle I just never bothered to learn his name, all Marcel's vampires blended together after a while.
"You" I called stopping the afro-haired vampire.
"I have a name" he snapped turning around to face me, his eyes grew wide when he saw who I was but he didn't drop his tough persona, he was either brave, or really stupid.
"Does it look like I care?" I sighed in annoyance.
He rolled his eye's turning to walk away from me, only to slam into the wall behind him with the flick of my wrist.
"Now tell me where is she" I snapped walking towards him holding him in place with my magic.
"Who?" he shouted
"The girl Davina, you know the witch who was supposed to be staying here".
"Look all I know is she ran off" he told me.
I released him making him fall to the floor with a thump as I sped to find Marcel and Klaus.
"How do we know you didn't take her" Marcel spat at Elijah as I walked into the parlour.
"Because he was with me, all night" I spoke making my presence known.
"Ah the lovers reunited at last" Klaus smirked I glared at him.
"I have no idea where Davina is. Or why she ran away. Can I suggest you take a step back" Elijah spoke calmly as Marcel stepped away from Elijah's personal space.
"I can assure you I have absolutely no desire to see that child come into harm's way. She's suffered enough with this harvest ritual nonsense." Elijah continued.
"That child to whom you refer so affectionately is the most, sorry the second most powerful witch in New Orleans." Klaus said referring to me as the most powerful, what can I say power is in the Claire's blood.
"If she's fled, what's to stop her from destroying us, in fact destroying all we've worked for? No. if she's not a friend to this family, then she is our enemy". Klaus said this making me angry.
"If she is your enemy Niklaus then so am I, and we both know you don't want to make an enemy out of me" I spat going toe to toe with the hybrid.
"Did you ever think she ran away because she is sick of being used and controlled by all of you, honestly if I was in her shoes I would have runaway, from this city and all of you months ago" I spat walking away from the three men.
"Where are you going Giselle" Marcel called.
"I'm going to look for Davina alone. I'll contact you all later to see what progress you've made" I then walked out wracking my brain to think of where the little Claire witch could be. I knew I had to find her before Klaus did, because despite my warnings Klaus Mikaelson was way too unpredictable for my tastes.
***
"Davina, I swear if you don't call me back things will not be pretty once I find you, I'm about to do a locater spell so I'll see you soon little Claire" I spoke to Davina's voicemail as I stormed into my mansion and up to the room where I did all my magic.
I had a map of the quarter spread out on my table, I knew Davina wouldn't go far, at least I hoped she hadn't.
I cut my palm and poured the blood onto the centre of the map, as Davina and I were from the same bloodline my blood could locate her.
"Et invenietis revelare, et invenietis revelare, et invenietis revelare" I chanted over and over, I watched the blood move across the map and then suddenly it stopped, but not because I had found her location.
Out of nowhere my head exploded in pain, I felt my brain cells pop and my blood boil as I fell to the ground screaming in agony.
"I swear on everything that is sacred, I will murder all your decedents in the most gruesome ways imaginable, don't test me witches" I threatened, and just as quick as my pain started it stopped.
God damn ancestors, I couldn't believe they had tried to interfere in one of my spells, they hadn't done that in centuries, they usually left me alone afraid of what I would do to their living relatives if they crossed me, this meant the witches of the quarter knew Davina was missing and where also looking for her, well crap!
Night had fallen and my spells to find Davina are still being blocked, so I decided to look for her the old-fashioned way which was hard considering that the Casket Girl's festival was taking place which meant the quarter was packed.
Most people stepped out of my way as I walked through the quarter others I just shoved away as I frantically searched for the little Claire. I soon spotted Klaus, Marcel, Rebekah and Elijah in the middle of the quarter, standing there staring at each other down.
"Here I was thinking you actually wanted to find Davina" I glared at all of them, mostly Klaus.
"Ah Giselle no luck I presume" Klaus smirked making me want to hit him.
"Unfortunately, after centuries of the ancestors not bothering me, they've decided to halt my attempts at finding Davina, which means the witches of the quarter are also looking for her so we have to find her fast" I explained.
"Are you okay?" Elijah asked concerned.
"Fine, now if you all are done with this Mexican standoff I suggest we continue to look" I snapped.
"For the record, we are moments away from retrieving her" Klaus smirked making me feel uneasy.
"I recognize that tone of voice, Niklaus. Clearly, you have some diabolical machination. What is it?" Elijah asked. Klaus just smirked and walked away, heading towards a young boy, but it wasn't just any boy, it was the boy who Davina had a crush on, I knew this wouldn't end well I had to find her now.
I looked at Elijah and Marcel one last time before disappearing.
I headed towards Saint Anne's, I hoped she wouldn't be stupid enough to go back there while also wishing she was here, as I got closer to the church I heard chanting, I sped forward ripping the doors open.
I saw the blonde human from the quarter fall to the ground as four of the quarter witches continued to chant, Davina stood in the centre staring at the witches in shock. I glared at the witches and mumbled a spell in my head freezing them on the spot.
"Well, well, well what do we have here" I hissed walking around the witches, my heels clacking loudly on the tiled floor.
"Elle" Davina spoke in relief.
"It seems you witches are out to anger me today, now I know you all know Davina is under my protection, so why in the world would you go up against me" I laughed sarcastally.
Even though they were all frozen in place their eye's held fear, they knew their lives were about to end.
"Sabine, I thought you knew better" I sighed shaking my head in disappointment, as I ran my fingers down her cheek.
"Davina darling, I suggest you leave, this won't be pretty" I spoke in a cold icy tone not breaking eye contact with Sabine. Davina quickly ran from the church, knowing not to argue with my tone of voice.
I pulled Sabine to my side making her face her sisters, I raised my hand and lifted the other three in the air, I squeezed my hand into a fist causing the three witches to scream in agony, as I literally broke their hearts, I smiled with sick satisfaction as there wails of pain filled the quite church as one by one the fell to the floor dead.
I turned back to Sabine who had tears running down her cheeks.
"Now tell your precious ancestors, next time they want to interfere with my life, I will make this town rain with the blood of their descendants. In the future, I'd stick to your little city tours witch" I sneered, waving my hand snapping her neck making her fall to the ground. I then grabbed my phone from my pocket and dialled Marcel's number.
"I found her".
"Is she okay?" Marcel asked.
"She is now, the witches found her but I took care of them" I stated in a bored tone.
"Where is she?" Marcel questioned.
"My guess on her way to save her little crush".
"How did you..."
"Please as soon as I saw Klaus speak to the boy, I knew he would use him as leverage. Now there is a reason I'm calling Marcellus, with my magic being a bit haywire when it concerns Davina, I don't want to risk a protection spell, but I have someone who would be very willing to help our little witch. So, sit tight and don't worry your little head. Whatever Klaus plans to do, to Davina will fail" I said to Marcel and then hung up the phone.
I sat down on one of the pews and stared at Sabine's body, tapping my fingers against the wood in boredom, that was until I heard a gasp coming from the now alive witch.
"I knew you had some smarts, protection spells handy are handy little things" I spoke coldly. Sabine's eyes grew wide as she backed away from me.
"They all should have done the same" Sabine replied, looking at her dead companions.
"Shoulda, woulda, coulda" I shrugged.
"Now I know that spell is a one-time thing, so unless you want to join your sisters for good I suggest you listen" I whispered harshly taking a death grip on her frizzy hair.
"I'm listening" Sabine gulped hissing from the pulling of her hair.
"Since your lovely ancestors messed with my juju, you're going to perform that same spell for young witch who I've become very fond of" I smirked.
***
A while later I walked to the compound ready to wipe the smug smirk of Klaus face.
"How could you" I heard Marcel shout as I walked in, I saw Elijah holding Marcel back as from attacking Klaus.
"Relax Marcellus, Davina will be fine" I stated calmly.
"What do you mean?" Elijah asked staring at me.
"I had a protection spell placed on her as I knew Niklaus wouldn't heed my warning. Frankly Marcel I'm upset by your lack of faith in me" I pouted.
Marcel said nothing instead he walked forward and wrapped me in a hug whispering a thank you. I awkwardly patted his back and pulled away after I let him have his moment.
"Now what to do with you" I wondered turning to a surprised Klaus.
I stared at him for a moment and blinked, he cried out in pain as he coughed up a black sticky substance, he roared as one by one his bones started to break.
"I think it's time to cough up all your sin's Niklaus" I sneered.
"Don't mess with my family" I whispered in his ear then with a flick of my wrist, he fell to the ground unconscious.
"What did you do to him" Elijah shouted with shock as he watched his brothers body shake with spasms, and his face contort in pain.
"Don't look at me like that Elijah. I warned him and you should I never make empty threats. A night of reliving his most horrible memories should remind him never to cross me" I smirked sadistically looking at Klaus body writher in discomfort.
"I'm going to call Rebekah and tell her to bring D home" Marcel spoke and stalked off in the opposite direction.
"Giselle" Elijah sighed.
"Don't Elijah, you and I both know he deserved much worse. Come find me when you realize that, and when he wakes up tell him the next time he crosses me it won't be just a night of misery it will be an eternity" I spat and sped from the compound.
***
Hours later, I was at home relaxing with a glass of blood, when I felt his presence.
"Just because we slept together last night doesn't give you the right to just walk into my home" I snapped.
"I'm sorry but I think you need to see this" Elijah spoke he sounded off, I turned around and looked at Elijah who held his phone out to me. I grabbed it from his hand and looked at the picture, my eyes widening in shock.
"What is this?" I hissed, I felt disgusted by the woman's face.
"Davina's sketches when put together they revealed a face, her face" Elijah explained. I handed him his phone and turned back to the fire.
"No need to worry Elijah I killed her once and I will kill her again" I smiled. Elijah came up behind me wrapping his arms around my waist; he kissed the side of my neck and sighed.
"If she does, make a sudden reappearance I think I should be the one to deal with her" Elijah mused making me laugh.
"I look forward to seeing you again my dear Celeste" I mused raising my glass in salute as I leaned back into Elijah.

A/N
The interaction between Haley and Elijah in episode 10 never happened you know the one where Elijah helps Haley zip her dress. As I said before there will be no Elijah and Haley flirting in this story as it would make no sense and I don't see Giselle putting up with that s**t plus Elijah doesn't seem like the two-timing type.
Leave a comment and let me know what you thought of this chapter and what do you think will happen with celeste and Giselle???
Et invenietis revelare = find and reveal
Gif of Giselle in this chapter above and outfit in this chapter included ^^^
