A young girl is asleep on the ground in the woods in New Orleans or it would appear that way. Suddenly her eyes snap open she is momentarily startled by her surroundings until she remembered this is where she was supposed to be, or at least she thought so. She wasn't sure if this was it, or if she had messed it up her thoughts were interrupted by the sounds of an approaching heartbeat, and not a human one from the sounds of it. She stood up ready to face her surprise visitor not really worried about her own safety; she could handle herself after all.
A few more seconds passed when finally the second person the woods was revealed. It was a vampire, one she knew very well, or at least she'd heard enough stories about him to know of him. He had a slightly amused expression on his face and reminded her of the joker from Batman "who are you?" he asked with a smile still painted on. That was a good question one she was not entirely sure that she could answer so she decided to turn the tables "who are you?" she asked defiantly. His eyes narrowed at her "I'm Marcel. Who are you?" he asked again his cheerful façade faltering only slightly.
She gave him a small smile and briefly wondered if she should kill him no, no, that might mess too many things up. She had to remain undetected at least for now the stakes were too high to risk messing this up. "I'm Davina Claire." She said and Marcel chuckled clearly satisfied he'd gotten an answer out of her. "OK Davina can you tell me what you doing out here?" she swallowed she could feel her heart beat only a little quicker she calmed it down she didn't believe after everything she's been through that she would get all nervous because somebody was asking questions. "I was just out here for a morning stroll." She lied. "Huh, that's interesting because you see, it just so happens that these woods are frequented by werewolves during the full Moon and last night was a full Moon and here you are."
"Are you a wolf? Because unfortunately werewolves are banned in the French quarter." He said in a threatening tone it took almost all of Davina's willpower to not roll her eyes and throw him into a tree his threats didn't scare her not much did. She decided that the best approach was probably the sweet and innocent one "if I say yes will you hurt me?" she asked with fake tears in her eyes. Then she noticed a shift in Marcel's attitude "No. Werewolves may be banned but we don't hurt kids. Come with me. I'm not gonna hurt you I promise." He said genuinely.
She walked with him through the woods he asked questions about her who she was, what she was doing here, where her parents were, where she was from. And she lied mostly but some things she told him where true like when she said most of her family was dead and the rest were missing. She told him that she was from the Appalachian Mountains that was a lie. She also told him that her werewolf curse got triggered when she killed the man who murdered her mother which was only a half lie. He gave her a tour the city not that she actually needed it but she had to keep up appearances.
Marcel was intrigued by the young girl but he was wary of her bad enough the originals were back in town now he had to deal with an adolescent werewolf. He was saddened to hear about the girl's mother though he knew what it was like to lose a mother at a young age. He took her back to the old Mikealson estate which was now his that thought made him smile slightly.
He kept her in the house for a little over two weeks trying to decide what to do with her. Werewolves were banned in the quarter but she was only 16 and he wasn't sure if he could live with killing a child. Plus she was a mystery and possible threat. But on the other hand maybe he could use her to his advantage somehow. Davina was getting restless she couldn't just sit around much longer she needed to make a move and soon. She didn't risk everything coming here just to have Marcel stare at her like an exhibit at the zoo.
The time for deciding was over on a bright sunny day when Davina was sitting on the couch plotting her next move, little did she know that her next move would be a knock on the door. Davina heard the car before it even turned onto the street she listened as it got closer, closer, close enough to smell the exhaust she heard his heartbeats and her own sped up, this is it.
Then came the knocking, Marcel was at the door before she had a chance to even process the thought of getting it herself. She straightened herself up and hastily fixed loose strands of her hair. Marcel opened the door "Klaus, what are you doing here?" He asked clearly surprised. "Well, I wanted to see what was drawing the self-proclaimed king away from his kingdom and now I see. The rumors are true you're shacking up with a wolf." Klaus said smugly, pushing past Marcel into what was rightfully his home. "A little young, no?" Klaus said smugly as he walked toward Davina.
Davina felt a jumble of emptions as the original hybrid strode toward her the time for rehearsal was over she had to do this, now. "Hello love, what's your name?" he asked charmingly. "Davina." She said simply trying to hide her nerves. "That's a pretty name. I'm Klaus." "I know." She said. "So, you've heard of me." She exhaled "Yeah, I have you're actually the reason I came here." Both Klaus' and Marcel's faces lit up with curiosity. "Is that so?" Klaus asked with his eyebrows raised.
Davina quickly looked to Marcel then leaned closer to Klaus "I need to talk to you but not here it has to do with your family." She whispered so low that if Klaus wasn't a hybrid he wouldn't have heard it. He looked at her confusedly for a moment then nodded slowly. He led her up off the couch Marcel tried intervene but Klaus stopped him by throwing him into a wall. Davina smiled to herself she'd been wanting to do that for days now.
The car ride to the plantation house was one of the tensest of Davina's life Klaus was asking her questions that she wanted to answer but couldn't, not yet. When they finally got to house she began to prepare herself, this isn't going to be easy. They each got out of the car without a word.
As they were walking up the path to the house Klaus was wondering why he trusted this girl, this wolf she did say something about his family he needed to hear her out but there was still something off about her. He opened the door for her and led her inside.
Davina stood in the foyer her hands were shaking Klaus was studying her actions that only made her more nervous. She saw Elijah turn around the corner "Klaus, who is this?" He asked curiously. "This is Davina I found her with Marcel. She apparently has something important to tell us but has effectively gone mute." Klaus said in a tone that Davina thought was rather rude, she hadn't gone mute this was hard she had never done this before no one had. She felt emotions well inside of her when she saw Klaus they amplified when she saw Elijah. They began to bubble over as she saw Rebekah descend the staircase. Rebekah had the same questions as Elijah, Klaus gave her the same snarky answer. Davina knew that she had to say something but no thought was coherent, and it was like she had gone become a statue.
Everything changed as she saw Hayley the werewolf, and soon-to-be mother coming down the stairs "what's going on?" she asked as she reached the final steps. Tears sprang into to Davina's eyes and flowed down her cheeks her emotions were spilling over now and every feeling she had buried for the last 14 months hit her like a freight train. With supernatural speed she closed the 6 foot gap between them she threw her arms around Hayley. Davina had to remind herself that Hayley was pregnant or else she might have lost control and crushed her. "Who are you?" Hayley asked terrified of this girl and her strength.
The originals were ready to attack Davina, Klaus especially he wasn't going to let this strange girl hurt Hayley or his child, no matter what she had to say about his family because those two were his family. Davina realized how this must've looked from their perspective and while her grip wasn't hurting Hayley she wouldn't be able to escape it no matter how hard she tried. She released Hayley ready to face the music she turned to see three very angry looking originals. "I'll ask again and this time I want an answer. Who are you?" Klaus asked with a death glare in his eyes. Davina's eyes flickered between Hayley and Klaus she had to say it now. Say It, say it Davina's thoughts urged her she took a deep breath and finally said the words "I'm your daughter."
