Chapter 136 [Vault]

Title - The Power of Three | Chapter 4 | Female MC

____________________________________________________

[3rd POV]

Later in that night, after a thorough, and painful assimilation of the new blessings, bloodlines, and species, Circe was walking through the streets of New Orleans, making her way through the crowds that were celebrating the first Feast of the Blessings in a long long time. 

She was making her way to the “After Party” where people would give their gifts to the harvest girls, but she was there for only one of them, Davina Claire, the one that the other two harvest girls hated quite a lot, blaming her for a lot of things that she didn’t really do or cause. They also disliked her because she supposedly hadn’t sacrificed anything which was…very wrong, but they were a bunch of ignorant teens so it wasn’t surprising. 

Walking up to the mansion that was housing the party, Circe smiled and walked to the entrance, only to be stopped by a tall man “Name” 

“Circe” Circe replied as she looked at the man, who looked down at the list, frowning as her name wasn’t there. 

“No name, no admittance” The man said, as Circe just smiled again. 

“I think you’ll see that my name is on there, it’s likely just farther down, I was a…late invitation” Circe said, as a small burst of magic warped the list, putting her name on it alongside the others. This invitation wasn’t a thing for the witches, the Mikaelsons, or the higher ups, but only the lowly normies, hence why they weren’t going through this same entrance. 

“Ah, I apologize miss Circe, you’re names on here. You may enter” The man said, catching her name and giving her an apologetic nod, as she gave the man a smile and walked on through, a grin forming on her face as she did so, as she walked past two people that she recognized. 

Hayley Marshall and Elijah Mikaelson. ‘Seems the gifting ceremony is going to begin soon then, if those two are out here’ Circe thought, glancing at the man who seemed to notice her, as his eyes caught her own, with her giving him a wink as she walked further in’ 

Walking into the building, stepping down the stairs into the main room, as she noticed quite a lot of people conversing with one another, quietly talking about various topics, mostly politics, the party, and the festival as a whole. Circe walked down the stairs and stood in the back, not even needing to be farther forward as her eyes showed her clearly what was happening, as a red headed woman began to speak. 

The woman was Genevieve, a woman brought back to life by the energies of the harvest ritual. 

“Welcome, as is our time honored tradition, you are all welcome to deliver your offerings. It is our custom that no one should be turned away, no blessing be denied” Genevieve said, as she raised her glass slightly, glanced back at the three harvest festival girls, and walked away. 

Circe looked forwards, as she finally got a good look at the girl that she had been so interested in. The most attractive person she had met in this life so far, a girl who was the same age as her, being 17, although slightly younger. She was also an incredibly talented girl that had a lot of potential for growth. This girl was Davina Claire, the one that Circe was at the party for, and a girl she found to be immensely beautiful. 

Circe leaned back and quietly watched as one by one, gifts were delivered to the girls. However, thanks to the interference of Genevieve, the girl wasn’t receiving any, not getting a single on, while the blonde girl in the middle, Abigail, had a growing stack, and Monique, the girl on the right side (Circe’s right) had a smaller stack, but more than Davina’s zero. 

Seeing that Davina was preparing to leave (which was fair, as she would have too), Circe walked forward, walking past Elijah and Hayley who had already given her gift, as the man blinked, not noticing her, which was strange considering his senses. 

“The farthest, to Monique” The woman that was directing them on who to give their presents to said, as Circe glanced at her before smiling. 

“No, no I think I’ll be giving this to the one I want to, thank you very much” Circe said, ignoring the woman as she walked over to Davina, who was rising to her feet, only for her to stop upon seeing Circe. 

“Ma’am, she told you to give yours to Monique, not Davina” Genevieve said, walking over, as Circe glanced at her. 

“Well it’s a good thing it’s the present I am choosing to give, now isn’t it? Afterall you did say that we would deliver our offerings right? And that is what I am doing” Circe replied with a smile, as Monique scowled and was about to speak, only for Genevieve to raise her hand, stopping her. 

“No no, it’s fine Monique. I am sure her gift is just…excellent, perfect for someone like Davina” Genevieve said, as Circe smiled, reaching as she pulled out a simple, worn looking book, as Abigail and Monique both giggled, and Genevieve smirked. But unlike them, Davina smiled either way, not caring that it was an old book, as it still meant a lot to her. 

“Thank you, it means a lot to me” 

“Ah, don’t thank me just yet, Miss Claire. Why don’t you turn to the last page of the book and read the last words of it’s author?” Circe said, before turning to Genevieve. 

“I had found the little thing in the middle of nowhere, just sitting there, probably because no one except those belonging to my Ancestors bloodline could open it, much less read it. I have taken the liberty of taking out the more…dangerous spells, but I do believe that it will be the perfect gift to Davina” Circe said simply, as she noticed the Mikaelsons that were in the room (Most notably Klaus and Elijah) looked interested, alongside several vampires. 

“Oh um, it says “To my descendents, use this…grimoire well. I have made many mistakes, but these spells…were never one of them. Use my creations well, and do not repeat the mistakes of your ancestors. Signed…”

“Qetsiyah” Davina finished, as Genevieve’s eyes shot wide, as Elijah and Klaus stared with equal amounts of shock. 

“As I said, I do believe it'll be a good grimoire for you, Davina. It may not have my ancestors most famous creations - for they are too dangerous for anyone to know…well, besides me - but it is full of ancient spells far beyond any of the crap she’ll teach you” Circe said, glancing at the paling Genevieve, as the woman realized who Circe likely was. 

“And who is Qetsiyah? Probably some nobody witch that nobody remembers” Monique said with a snort, as Circe glanced at her with a raised eyebrow. 

“Huh, and here I thought my ancestor would be well known, considering she is the creator of Immortality, and the other side that the Supernatural beings of this world pass on to after death” Circe said, as Monique was about to continue, stopping her as Genevieve gave the girl furious glare, while Elijah and Klaus both looked at Circe with narrowed eyes, and Davina with eyes full of awe. 

Glancing around, Circe gained a look of realization on her face, as she grinned and began to speak.

“Ah, I suppose I should introduce myself, shouldn’t I? It’s nice to meet you Davina, I am Circellia Bennett, but you may call me Circe” Circe said the teen, upon hearing the last name, several witches breathed in deeply, understanding that the girl standing in front of them was practically witch royalty. For the Bennetts were direct descendants of Qetsiyah, the most powerful witch to ever live, and Circe now knew the secret to Immortality, AND the Otherside. 

Looking Davina in the eye, a charming smile on her face as she leaned down and softly pressed a kiss against the back of her hand, eyes lighting up at the sight of a cute blush dusting the girls cheeks, Circe spoke one last sentence, an amused grin on her face, and happiness in her eyes. 

“It truly is a pleasure to meet you all~”

That’s the end of the chapter!

As said in the last chapter of this, Davina is the love interest. This fic will likely have some heavy AU elements, as a lot of shit that happens to Davina, won’t happen here. Like you know…dying…for the second time. You can expect her to be actual friends to the Mikaelsons, learning to forgive them with the help of Circe. 

Circe is pretty OP, but she’ll be dealing with Legacies elements once Hope is old enough, and the Gods will be much closer to what a God should be in power. 

Wandering Nundu, True Dragon, and ATG will also be getting updated tonight.
