"I'm here!" MJ arrived in a rush of air, "Oh my – "

Pupils dilating in and out, pushing the dark veins on her cheeks away. Blood. Davina's face was more red than white. Such a bright colour, practically glowing among the greyed tombs and looming shadows, parading as a light to find among the labyrinth of spirits. So easy to get led astray searching.

Kol opposite it.

He was wincing in pain but in control.

Skin paling...

If MJ lost it, Kol would be forced to stop her, cutting Davina's power in half.

A breath in.

"Ven El Forte Es Cufe."

Hair sticking to her skin.

"Davina," MJ stepped closer, "Stop."

Her eyes opened, "I'm fine."

Doll-like painted streams stronger down her cheeks. 

"They're in control – "

MJ felt her throat closing up.

"No..." Davina's started to hear singing, "No."

Head shaking desperately.

"Please!"

The spirits howling with joy.

"You need to listen to me!"

"Davina," MJ couldn't watch, "Tell me what's going on."

"Stay out of it!"

"Davina."

"This is my deal."

MJ bit her lip

"They hate you more than they hate me."

Not incorrect, but not helpful.

"They'd make it worse – "

MJ shoved Kol out of the way, taking Davina's hands herself, channelling power into her as fast as possible. Leaving him to grip the wall and rub his eyes back to non-battery pack reality.

"I know you don't want to help me," Davina felt the energy rush, "But Hayley can be used against Klaus!"

MJ grimaced.

"She's the only one he truly fears!"

"And you all fear me," MJ made a choice, "Right?"

She was calling out, feeling the wind pick up.

"You wanna beat your Regent down?"

Making Davina beg for their help was disgraceful.

It's not what the dynamic was meant to be.

Punishing her for helping was not the deal.

"Try me."

New Orleans wasn't old enough to beat the Floare stones.

"Say the spell."

"It hurts so much," Davina was barely able to stand up on her own, "MJ – "

"We have got this," She let the girl half-collapse into her, "You do not need their permission."

"But – "

"You want them to respect you?"

The core of the problem.
