âIt is okay to cry. Crying is a natural response to pain.â
âWhat good is that act, unless every person in this kingdom first swears an oath to you? To both of us?â

âWanna fight for me?â
âHey, are you still alive?â

âLove? You think love will save you?â
âOnly fools believe that soulmates exist.â

âThe blood is in your hands, not mine.â
âYou speak as though you are innocent in this.â

âI do not fear death.â
âAm I in hell?â
âIf you think for a moment, then youâll find it.â
âI will not be meek or obedient.â
âYou do not own me. I am not your property or anyone elseâs for that matter.â
âAnd you think sleeping with someone who is married is going to add excitement to your life?â
âThere are worst faiths.â
âI would rather die than be locked in a cage.â
âYou can take that pen and shove it up your ass.â

âThis was supposed to be a surprise damn it.â

âI believe in choices, both good and bad.â
âI didnât fall off the horse. I held on for dear life as the horse dragged me along for a period of many years.â
âFunny how things work out. You love me now, when I do not love you.â
âI hate you. I hate your desire & MINE.â
âCall it what you wish, but you and I both know itâs the truth.â
âDonât speak to me as if you know what I am suffering through. You know nothing.â
âShut your eyes then.â
âThat child saved your life.â
âHey if you ever need some RELIEF, you know where to go.â

âTheir blood is on your hands. Not mine.â

âYou swore you would protect me!â
âYou are a toad.â

âThere is nothing you can say that hasnât already been said.â
âMusic is important. There are so many advantages.â
âI couldnât sleep. Can I stay here?â
âYou are my soul mate!â
âI once tried to read that. I couldnât get through the book.â
âBURN ME THEN. Do you think I care now that you have taken everything from me?â
âTo love? Or to spy?â
âWhich witch is which?â
âI signed up for a fun adventure in a creepy mansion. I didnât sign up for demons trying to murder me.â
âWhoâs your daddy now?â
âIâll be good, I promise.â
âDo you hate me so much you would do this?â
âI loved you! I gave you my heart & you stepped on it.â
âMy love for you surpasses everything.â
âI am a fool, yes. But this fool loves you. Do you hear me? I love you.â
âTake it from me as best you can, but there will come a time that you can no longer deny it.â
âWill you give yourself to me?â
âOnce, I think I could have loved you. But now, I think I can only despise you.â
âMy heart cannot take this secrecy anymore. Why must I hide my feelings for you?â
âYou can try.â
âI think that there are better ways to spend my time than to listen to their insults.â
âPathetic.â
âChildren? Oh no, Iâ I donât think I can even have children.â
âImpossible things can be possible if you have enough hope.â
âDid they touch you?â
âI donât think I can move.â
âThe best time of year is when I can cuddle with you in front of the fire.â
âMy heart belongs to one being and it is you.â
âI need help. I cannot face this alone.â
âYou ask far too much. Please, donât make me do this.â
âAre you pregnant?â
âIâm pregnant.â
âIâm sorry, but your child is dead.â
âWho is the father?â
âHow can you love a person like him/her?â
âMonster!â
âYou are not a monster. Stop thinking that you are!â
âThere is nothing you could have done. Their life was forfeit the moment they left this place.â
âY-You? What are you doing here?â
âThe last dance you will ever have is with me.â
âWe are two ships in the night.â
âThe shadows grow darker.â
âIt will not be long before the darkness consumes your heart.â
âYou belong to me now.â
âYou WITCH.â
âYou sold your soul to the devil & for what?â
âRevenge will be mine.â
âThe dogs will eat their fill of you and shit your remains onto the crags.â
âOur Grand Rite now is done. Blood dimmed dawn now shall come. Powers of the moon and sun ignite. All flesh trembles at the sight. Thirteen souls fed to hungry earth opens the way for our dark lordâs birth.â
âOh this ainât right. This ainât right. Any fool can feel that, even this fool.â
â I shall miss the dazzling wit of your conversation.â
âThis is my vow. I will meet you here, before the moon goes above those trees. I swear it.â
âYou know, my father said this was the land of second chances. This can be ours. All we have to do is walk away.â
âLiving in here and not believing in witches is like living in London and not believing in fog. It is to deny what is right in front of you.â
âLove is a two-faced coin and one is certainly betrayal.â
âLove is not a lost cause. I will not betray the one true love of my life.â
âIf. Such a small word with such immense consequence. For all of us.â
âThe wine is from God. The drunkard is from the devil.â
âI recognize the symptoms of your illness, and itâs not called marsh fever. Youâre with child.â
âHeâs insane.â
âThis is a good day for him.â
âIf you knew my father, youâd commend me for waiting this long.â
âHow long may we enjoy your curative presence in town?â
âThere was a reason for my marriage. Remind me of it.â
âIs it murder to defend your motherâs honor?â
âAnd if these times have made you clever, the coming months may thrust genius upon you.â
âYou care so much for someone you hardly know.â
âThat was the bravest thing Iâve ever seen, like a man sticking his head inside a lionâs jaw. I would gladly reward you for your bravery.â
âAll things are permissible in our dreams.â
âI believe trust needs to be earned.â
âThe others bought and sold. We merely proved ourselves better at the game, but we draw the line at murder. Do we not?â
âI do tend to win whatever battles I fight.â
âYouâre not the only one who knows what it feels like to hold desires that come true only in dreams. But every morning we have a choice â forget our dreams or live them.â
âTrue malice like that which powers the Grand Rite ferments best in a loveless heart. I have looked into your heart and it is anything but loveless.â
âAnd so the queen came to rule the king and all of his kingdom and thus became the Queen of the Night. And so she lived happily ever after.â
âFor it was not by a kiss she might make a frog into a prince, but by a kiss that she make a king into a toad.â
âThat night she felt one monster on top of her and another inside and she glimpsed what her soul was becoming and learned her first lesson as queen: be careful what you wish for.â
âYou know the worst part about becoming a queen? You often have to marry a king.â
âNot all queens start as princesses.â
âYour eyes. So filled with want. The hard part is not getting what you want, child. The hard part is knowing what you want.â
âWe had a deal.â
âI want to be just like you.â
âSometimes in life we make choices. These choices in life they lead us to do things, terrible things and we donât wish to, weâd do anything not to. Choice informs choice. They donât resemble anything youâd have wanted or wish for. Tell me if it was like that. If it was a difficult choice. Please. Please. So that I may still believe in goodness.â
âI murdered 20 men and I make no excuses for myself. Will you have me arrested?â
âThe dead donât lie.â
âI am the only one that knows.â
âThe next lie to cross your lips will be your last.â
âYou would threaten me, your one true ally?â
âSo you would buy me outright?â
âI want it to stop. The torture, the torment, the suffering⊠or I will tell them. I will tell them all who and what you are.â
âWe know that what we desire and what we must do to survive are often at odds.â
âMy husbandâs affliction has robbed him of both reason and sense.â
âWeâve lost control. Sheâs no longer ours.â
âWhy? Because this is the fulfillment of all our dreams. Vengeance for centuries of oppression.â
âI donât think Iâve ever seen such a mixture of reason and bullshit in a man.â
âThere was a time when I might have suckled more than a toad.â
âAll the world shall be yours in return; all the world.â
âYou asked who would do such a thing. The answer is many people.â
âThe witch hunt has begun and we will be runninng the trials.â
âHe/She has all the sweetness of an apple on a tree.â
âThis dog will come back and bite.â
âSave your thoughts. Say nothing.â
âYou must cry for me, for I have no more tears.â
âWhere is the murderer?â
âBe careful, be very careful, or you might find yourself wearing peasant shoes.â
âYou see Iâve lost everything in this town that I ever cared for. You however, you have everything left to lose. A sentiment that makes you vulnerable.â
âDo not stare at him in public. It weakens you.â
âThe only thing keeping me alive is the look on your face.â
âAll things return, like every salty tear returns to the sea.â
âThey will hunt and kill and drown in their very own blood till thereâs no one left standing.â

Alice sat in the corner of the grill, staring absently at the empty table in front of her as she traced symbols onto its surface with her finger. Her mind was elsewhere, and she was glad to have an escape from the eyes surrounding her. Maybe no one would notice her if she just kept her head down and stared at the wall in front of her.
Of course Damon noticed. He made it his business to memorize every face in town. Thatâs what has kept him alive for a hundred and forty five years. He got two shots from the bar before walking over to Alice. âHey there. You look lonely. May I join you?â
Her head shot up at the sound of a voice so near to her, and after realizing that Damon, was addressing her, she nodded. âIâm um⊠Iâm fine, but yes you mayâŠâ She responded, a small voice noting that there were a few unoccupied tables in the vicinity, but who was she to try to judge his actions?
He sat down and offered her one of the shots that were in his hand. âYou are new what brings you into town?â
She took the offered refreshment, but kept it sitting on the table in front of her, carefully avoiding eye contact with the stranger. âI just wanted a change of scenery, and thought here was as good a place as any. Do I really stand out that much?â
Damon chuckled. âItâs a small town. Of course you stand out. This isnât exactly the place people go for a change of scenery. Thatâs New Orleans.â He smiled at the witch.
âAnd how do you know that I didnât come from New Orleans? Maybe this was the exact change I was looking for,â She replied, forcing a smile onto her own lips as she tried to hide the defensive edge to her voice.
âsoftly, with hands as gentle as rain, I shall strangle him.

âIt is unwise to be in my company when I have a low tolerance for some witches here in the Quarter as of lately. Speak your busniess and be quickâŠâ
Alice paused in her thoughts, unsure how to react to this immediate reaction to her presence. People had of course said similar things to her in the past, but usually only after they found out who she was. âI was only going to ask if you knew of any places that might have spell books, or perhaps someone that could help me a bit...â Alice trailed off, not wanting to reveal anything to the woman in front of her. She knew that she had the power at her disposal, but the control over it was questionable. Maybe someone or something would be able to help her with her... problem.

Sophia leaned up against the living space wall of the girlâs small apartment, dangling the keys in her hands. âSorry sweet heart, I donât mean to intrude but I believe you may have something that belongs to me,â with that quickly tone of voice, Sophia sprinted towards the young witch in her unnatural speed and threw her hard into the thin layer of unfinished painted drywall.
Alice stood in silent confusion at the person that had come into her apartment. She didn't look familiar, but surely they had met before if the girl had her keys? Her thoughts chased each other endlessly as the woman talked, searching for some explanation. A shout escaped her lips as her body was roughly slammed into the wall behind her, stumbling back up to her feet quickly. Who was this person?! Alice felt her sanity flicker, her eyes darkening momentarily before she could push her way back into control. There was no point in causing unnecessary conflict. "I'm sorry, but I don't have anything of yours, and if I did, throwing me into a wall is certainly not going to make me want to give it to you," Alice said calmly, crossing her arms and raising her eyebrows at the woman, half focused on holding back a wince from the aches already arising in her body.

âYes of course itâs very tiring.. Having to control these immature and reckless beasts.. From vampires.. To werewolves and even the witches in the French courter,â klaus answered, leading her to the doors to exit the bar. âBut.. I suppose I have time right now. Come along.â
Klaus stepped out of the bar with The witchâs arm around his and looked around to see many people stop to stare at him. He was always getting stares⊠That or people purposely avoiding eye contact.
Alice tensed slightly at the mention of witches, but covered it up with a feigned stumble. Once outside, at the feeling of so many eyes looking her way, Aliceâs hands began to tremble slightly, and she fixed her gaze yet again to the ground. âI can imagine⊠Is this⊠I mean all of the staresâŠ. Is that normalâŠ?â She asked quietly, pushing away the memories of frightened stares following her around.
Klaus chuckled at her shy response. âThatâs so similar to asking a celebrity if theyâre constantly stared at or asked for their autograph.â Of course Klaus had to make that comparison because to him, he had always been a king.. A celebrity to all supernaturals.. Although, he was more so a leader that everyone was terrified of. It never mattered to him, for if he was noticed and well known, he was happy.
"I suppose you're a celebrity in your own manner... But most celebrities wouldn't exactly jump to decapitate those that made them upset," she replied, swallowing her unease and forcing her gait to become more confident. So long as she remembered to be cautious, everything would be fine.
âI really wouldnâ open that door, sweetheart,â
Oliverâs voice speaks slowlyâdarklyâas he stops to stand right behind the other, looming over them with a threatening look spread over his features. The werewolfâs pale pink lips were pulled into a thin lineâhis brows raising upward.Â
( @lostwitch ) Â Â Â
Aliceâs hand froze in the air as she spun to face the person who had spoken. One glance at his face put every one of her nerves on high alert. âAnd may I ask why not?â She asked. Who was this person, thinking she was so easy to push around? At the moment at least, she had no intentions of listening.
Alice couldnât help but smile slightly at that. âI certainly understand that feeling⊠but you know, inviting someone to join you doesnât exactly scare them away.â
âI know, but it scares the annoying guys away when they see tow women. When they see just one, sitting alone, drinking, they believe they will have sex soon.â
âI suppose thatâs hard to argue against... Itâs definitely sound reasoning.â
âCheers,â Alice said, raising the drink the woman had offered with a smile. âSo⊠any reason why youâre alone tonight? Most people tend to drink with other people,â She justified her question, not wanting to sound like a stalker.
âI hate most people.â, Adriana mumbled. âBut you get that pitiful look when you sit on the bar alone.â
Alice couldnât help but smile slightly at that. âI certainly understand that feeling... but you know, inviting someone to join you doesnât exactly scare them away.â
Alice turned quickly to the person who had talked to her, brushing her hair out of her eyes and hesitating before nodding and sitting next to the girl. âI suppose soâŠâ She said slowly, curious about the random invitation.
âAlright.â, Adriana said, pushing one of the filled glasses in front of her towards the other woman. âCheers.â
âCheers,â Alice said, raising the drink the woman had offered with a smile. âSo... any reason why youâre alone tonight? Most people tend to drink with other people,â She justified her question, not wanting to sound like a stalker.

Klaus took on step closer, close enough that Alice could feel his heavy breaths gust towards her face like a powerful wind. He was close enough that she could clearly recognize his features.. From the two freckles on his neck that laid parallel, to his small smirk that gave him characteristic and suited him perfectly with his nature. âDid you know, love.. In some cases.. When someone is lying, their heart will beat rapidly.. You must know that I can hear your rapid and bounding heart.. And certainly do I know that it isnât through love.. So tell me with honesty.. Are you a witch? Or not?â
Alice fell silent, every muscle frozen in fear. She should have thought of that. Despite her most desperate attempts, she could not change her bodyâs instinctive reactions. âIâŠ. Iâm not sure⊠Perhaps you will have to present the evidence you have for my being one?â She dodged the question clumsily, of course not being discreet in the slightest. Had it been any other person, she could probably have them convinced she was a honey bee by now, but with the original hybrid smirking down at her, she couldnât formulate a thought of her own, much manipulate those of others.
Klausâ smirk twitched slightly as he tried to think of an idea. âHow can I possibly prove what is your nature? Iâm am not you nor do I intend on forcing out the truth through hurtful actions.. Unless.. â klausâ smirk transformed into an evil yet.. Mischief grin.. âIf Thatâs what it takes,â he spat, knowing it would cause either tension, which would create her anger or annoyance to rise.. Or fear. It was one or the other and klaus knew in some way, it would cause her to tell the truth. Nowadays, the witches were always up to no good.. And with a new witch in town, klaus didnât know who to trust.. Of course he was suspicious of this unknown girl.. This was his town.. And his responsibility.
Aliceâs breath caught in her throat at his open-ended threat. He couldnât possibly⊠But he might⊠She felt her thoughts start to swirl around each other as she struggled to form a sound, anything. âYou actually have the nerve to threaten me?â She asked, her features twisting into a picture of obvious defiance. She knew she would say more if she couldnât stop herself, so she focused all of her energy onto staying silent after that, staring up at the hybrid and praying that her mouth would not betray her again.
Suddenly as she spoke those brave words, Elijah Mikaelson, Klausâ older and mature brother took a step forwards and felt uneasy of what klaus was getting himself into. âNo brother, thereâs no need to step up.. Thereâs no harm here, now is there, love?â Klaus spoke with a teasing tone of voice. Elijah was always watching over Klaus.. He wasnât sure if it was to protect him.. Or to protect others. Klaus was a ruthless beast and Elijah knew that quite well. âNow moving on..â He began, staring straight into the witchâs eyes. âYes. Yes I do have the nerve because if I recall clearly.. I am the original hybrid-â he then leaned in closer so they faced only centimetres apart. â-and I will do what I say and say what I wish.. And you.. Miss..â Klaus then paused, thinking if she gave him her name.. But just as he predicted, she didnât. âHave no power compared to me. Iâm much older, much stronger and Iâd LOVE to see what a pathetic witch can do.â
Nervously glancing between each brother, Alice gave no other outward sign of her unease. âPrecisely⊠No harmâŠâ She brought her eyes back to klausâ, refusing to back away from his gaze. âBecause, as I have already said, I am not a witch, and seeing as you cannot seem to grasp any evidence in your withered mind for my being one, I am afraid that you will have to settle for that statement,â she spoke calmly, raising her eyebrows as her mind took full advantage of her minor distraction due to the other originalâs appearance. âIt must be difficult for you to comprehend⊠Not getting your way for once⊠Oops,â she shrugged with obviously feigned sympathy, the hint of a challenging smile gracing her lips. Inside, she was screaming at herself to stop immediately. This was not simply a vampire threatening her, this was an ORIGINAL, and to make matters worse, the original hybrid. Of course, her mind would hear no logic, and she was left to scream from her caged location in her mind, all pleas falling on her own deaf ears.
Klaus looked down at her with a sight of confusion but his smirk just grew more. Klaus decided he would only get the truth out of her if he caught her in he act. But for now, he decided to play her little game of lies. âAw yes, my mistake.. I apologize for my acts.. I shouldnât have went to term to just assume you were a witch. If there is anyways I can give you a better welcoming, Iâd be delighted to give it to you. Welcome to New Orleans⊠Miss.. â Klausâ smirk dropped then he examined her, making it obvious he was looking for a name as a response. Klaus was a good liar and always has been.. It would be unusual if she knew he was being false. He knew she was a witch and there was nothing that could stop him from not believing otherwise.
Alice finally regained control and looked him over, barely concealing her suspicion. Why would he go from being so sure as to threaten her one moment to apologising the nextâŠ.? Regardless of his intentions, Alice relaxed her tensed muscles, trying to give him the impression that she was completely fooled by his likely false act. âAl-â she froze, looking at the hybrid. If she could refrain from giving him any power over her, she certainly would. âAlanna⊠And thank you Niklaus. Unless of course you prefer klausâŠâ She smiled at him after that, one that didnât quite reach her calculating eyes, but still conveyed an image of innocence.
âPlease Alanna, you may call me Klaus. Iâd love to meet with you soon to show you around New Orleans. Unless of course youâve been on one of our tours already.â Once klaus turned to Elijah, his brother was giving him an unusual look. Of course he knew what Klaus was doing.. He always knew was Klaus was getting himself into, unfortunately.
Alice tilted her head, trying to work out his intentions. She glanced briefly at Elijah, already having heard his reputation as well. âI havenât been on one of the tours yet⊠Seeing as I have no reason to refuse, I suppose a tour would be pleasant⊠If you donât mind that is,â she replied slowly. Klaus made her uneasy. People were typically easier to read⊠The same could not be said of the man in front of her.
âWell Iâd be honoured to show you around.. You may decide when.. It just shouldnât be too late.. I have other things planned to do.â Klaus admitted, waving Elijah off. This girl seemed interesting⊠And hidden.. Someone he thought he needed to know more of. Klaus wasnât even sure if her real name was Alanna but he still played her game. âIf you arenât busy now.. Iâd be happy to show you around,â klaus put his arm out so she was able to link her arm with his. As the original hybrid and King of this town, klaus knew it was his duty to act as a gentleman.. As an act of course.
Hesitating only a moment, Alice linked her arm with his, eyes focused on the ground. "Now is a perfectly adequate time... I suppose you must be quite busy, having to control everything in town?" She asked, praying that they could keep conversation focused on his life rather than hers.
