    ‘’It’s called transforming. Im taking what the earth gives, transforming it into magic and then spreading it to you for you to feel, its an ancient magic, when i ‘died’ at the harvest ritual, an ancestor came to me,  it was.. mezermizing, she bestowed this magic knowledge upon me after seeing my connection to the earth… this type of magic was once used to help heal and cure people of their sicknesses or ailments. And since my magic is blinded tothe earth it allows me to use this power. But i havent quite mastered it, becasue marcel kept me away from nature, i havent been able to practice alot’’ Daphne said gently ‘’i know mos tof my training, but.. much has not been able to be done because ive been locked away’’ she added before looking around ‘’nature is my first love… since i. Was a child ive had a very strong magical connection to it.. somehting most witches dont get’’ she said gently and sighed happily. ‘’If youd like Kol, you can join me while i resume my studies, Elijah said there is a vast knowledge of old magic that your mother once had in her possession, books and thigns like that, he said i could. Take a look at it to see eif she knew anything of the powers ive been given’’ she said with gentle smile on her face. 

     

    Elijah looked at Lucia and thoguht about her words for a moment ‘’two reasons, one being because of Josh, he’s proved to be valuable and because you  are his family, it makes sense to also protect you in order to keep him calm and happy and of course still being valuable. The second reason.. being that of Marcellous, or Marcel as you may know of him…he would more than likely come after you to try to gain Daphne and Josh back.. and mroe than likely he’d turn you against your will to prove a point.. i dont wish to see you being used in this ar thats going on,nor do i wish to see you hurt, protecting you means that marcel cannot harm you…’’ Elijah said simply ‘’and besides, i rather like having your company aorund.. you make thigns feel less..dead. Around here’’ he added with a short shrug of his shoulders. Everything he said was true.. what he didnt say was of course that he felt osmehting towards her, he wasnt sure what.. but tit was there.

    Kol sat there quietly and in wonder at what Daphne did, why she did it for him was something he wasn't sure of. When she offered for him to join her in her studies, Kol couldn't help but smile. "I would like that very much, thank you Daphne" he said softly. "I've heard about this harvest ritual though, aren't you worried that when the reaping is to come, things may turn wrong? I mean, all that power that you and Davina hold was meant to be passed along" he asked her in concern, he knew alot about witches and magic but this ritual was new to him, sort of.

     

    Lucia smiled at Elijah's words, almost finding herself speechless at his answers. "That's actually five reasons" she teased with a sheepish smile as she looked from Elijah to the array of books in front of her on the shelf. "Vampires are turned into somewhat dead creatures Elijah, but your body and soul are still alive, you still have blood in your veins and a beating heart. That seems pretty alive to me" she added as she finally looked at him again. "Again, thank you for all of this, it's my last year of college thankfully I can do it over my laptop, it's the certification that will require me to be out in the schools more. I doubt Marcel would be dumb enough to come for me as a bargaining chip in a public school, don't you think?" She wondered with a slight tilt of her head.

    ‘’You’re welcome Kol’’ Daph said and ailed, when he mentioned the reaping, Daphne simply shrugged, ‘’honestly. Im now worried about the reaping. They cant touch me now’’ she said and saw thew confused looked on Kol’s face, she sighed and took off the jacket she wore, under it was a tank top, she lifted up her top and turned so Kol could see her spine, on her spine were a spell in Latin sat on her spine, it was a protection spell, but ti was a ancient one.. one that Esther put there ‘’when i was on the other side, this woman came tome after the witch who gave my power that i showed you, anyways, this other witch came to me, talked about the reaping and how she knew of a spell that could protect me fomr it, so she did it form the other side, using me as an anchor to set the spell in palce.. im protected formt he reaping. The lettering appeared a fe dyas after me and Davina were saved by marcel.. he spotted them and asked wht it was.. davina knows, i offered to dot he sam for her but she declined. Said it wasnt right.. but i dont overly care.if i can save myself im going to do it’’ daphne explained and shrugged a bit. 

     

    Elijah smiled softly and nodded at what Lucia siad befor frowning ‘’Marcel is smart.. if he sees any option to take you he will. Which is why, even while out in public or at schools, you’ll have body guards, four hybrids at most. Just as a precaution and they’ll be ther et help protect the public too. If youre in danger, so is anyone arund you. It’s primarily for your safety. ‘’ Elijah said ‘’my family, along with marcel, ar ein a state of war.. it may seem petty.. and.. unnecessary.. but tis was once my families home.. we built it fomrt he ground up until our father burned it down… we want it back.. but.. i also dont wish to eye you get hurt int he process…’’ Elijah siad gentl and offered the girl a small smile in return.

    Kol slightly tilted his head at what Daphne told him, then showed him the tattoo on her spine. He'd heard of protection magic, but this he hadnt seen before. But, the runes, the ancient Nordic, that he did know, and that worried him. "Daphne? This witch on the other side, do you know her name? Or what she looked like?" He asked, trying to be casual about it, but he had to wonder if his mother was behind this, and why would she protect a harvest girl? "The witches may not be able to reach you, but the ancestors, they can find a way, they always do" he added with worry.

     

    Lucia sighed softly at what Elijah told her about being caught up in the middle of war. "If only Josh had told me that in the beginning, I would have left and taken him with me but...I suppose it's too late for that now. Besides, I'm pretty certain my brother and I will be much safer in your company and your family's, rather than simply running and probably being on the run for the rest of my life if Marcel truly got so desperate as to come for us" she remarked.

    Daphne rose a brow at Kol’s. Question, but once she heard the worry In his voice, she sighed a bit ‘’hmm to be honest, i never caught her name.. but she was a bit taller than i am.. blonde hair.. older woman.. she wore some kind of.. Nordic outfit, at least i think it was Nordic.. she had a nice voice though.. she was kind.. but.. she seemed worried? Bout me.. it was weird.. she said something about protecting me and how me being protected would lead to the person im meant to be with… weir di know.. but she was kind enough to protect me.. so. Im not complaining. Im sure if i saw a picture of her or something maybe id be able. To point her out. But i dont know. Why?’’ She asked curious to know why he wnated to know who ti was that gave her the protection. 

     

    ‘’Desperate people, do desperate things when they have no other options. Marcel becomes a desperate parasite quickly… he can become dangerous if this whole thing between him and Niklaus isnt handled properly. ‘’ Elijah stated with a dark look in his eye.. he ahd always been the one to clean up his siblings messes,  specially Niklaus’s.. ‘’it’s why i try to handle things as much as i can.. which includes handling Niklaus if so possible.. but.. you and josh wont have to worry about my brother.. now that he understands that you, Josh and Daphne are here to stay and possibly help us if need be, he wont harm you.but he will protect you. As will i, kol and Rebekah.. besides.. i think my sister rather enjoys having mroe girls here.. it was just her and Hayley and freya, but the three can often but heads at many moments… having you and Daphne here.. might entitle ehr down mroe… so i hope’’ Elijah epxlain and chuckled a bit
