It had been a long time since Avry had seen her father or any of her family other than her mother, who she was currently avoiding and after her run in with the hunters, she had wanted nothing more than to find him. She knew it might have been seen as childish, just wanting her father but as dark as Avry could be at times, she wasn’t all bad and had an innocence about her that not many could see.
She’d arrived in New Orleans a little over an hour ago and although she knew that it would be simpler to ask someone if they knew the mikaelsons, she would much prefer to locate them herself, she was Avry Mikaelson, The daughter of the noble Original who was pretty badass, she didn’t need to ask for help.
However, as she hits yet another dead end, she huffs and heads back to the city’s centre. The music and noise was rather intimidating in such a new place and she felt it hard to admit but she found herself feeling vulnerable. Finally, she lets out a sigh and walks over to a nearby woman, tapping her on the should gently. "Excuse me." she says politely. "Could you tell me where I could find the Mikaelsons please?"
The woman stares at her for several moments before replying. "Such a young girl, an innocent soul, a pretty little thing like you don’t want to get y’self mixed up with the likes of them darling, you’ll end up dead."
Avry frowns irritably, her eyes flashing with a mix of curiosity and irritation. “I did not ask for a warning and if you must know, I’m an originals daughter. Now tell me what I need to know!” she demands with a scowl.
The womans eyes widen and she tumbles over her words, pointing in the direction of where they could be found. "I.. Oh my.. I’m terribly sorry child, I didn’t know."
Avry nods simply, not bothering to thank the woman and simply walks away, pushing through the crowd of people that lingered around drinking and partying and heads towards the house.
Sucking in a deep breath, she pushed her shoulder bag futher on her shoulder and struts forward, a determined look on her face as she knocks on the Mikaelson mansions door before simply walking inside. “Hello?” She calls out, walking into the room and glancing around curiously. “Is anybody home?”
Everything that Elijah had ever done was so that his family could be better. That’s all he ever wanted. For them to stay a family and to make sure that they had not lost more than they already had. Of course he had failed considering that Finn and Kol were dead. Too much had happened to their family. There was no part of him that could lose anyone else. Even with Rebekah gone and living her life on her own terms at the very least she was safe.
Safe was all that he could ask for anymore.
Elijah could not bear the thought of anything happening to anyone in his family. Anyone. There was so much of his family that had been lost over the years, even before they had been turned. He was always a devoted man but once he was turned he was even more devoted. Now to his brother. Trying to save him, which really was just Elijah trying to save himself. He was a monster in so many ways and that was the last thing that he wanted.
That day he and his brother had not been on the best of terms. Instead they had gotten into one of their legendary tiffs, except it ended far differently than it had before. Instead of giving into his brother, providing an apology, Elijah was done playing those little games. He could only play them for so long. If they were going to play games then they were going to play them Elijah’s way.
He was the one who had taken control of the city and managed to get everyone to sign the treaty, that very treaty that would likely be broken before night’s end. At least by someone other than his brother who had seemed to give the werewolves a reason to break it before it had even been signed. So much about their pact as blood was gone. It would always be gone. Something he hated. Something he wished his brother would understand meant more than anything. The two of them were brothers but it seemed that his loyalty laid with the werewolves.
So foolish of Elijah to think that Niklaus would ever be anything than a selfish monster who was hardly worth being redeemed.
One of the many reasons that he had a drink in hand. If only so he did not take the nearest sharp object he could find and ram it through his brother’s abdomen. Instead he had a few glasses of bourbon and everything did not seem as bad as it could. But then there was a voice. One that he really should not have heard in that city.
"What are you doing here?"
