The call from Elijah had been the last thing that Gia expected considering their last encounter at the wedding reception. Gia hadn't expected to see him again unless it was to do with another war coming their way. Ever since becoming a vampire Gia had seen her fair share of things, some of which she wish she hadn't. But one thing she knew was that Marcel was always there for her when she needed him. Ever since the wedding she had noticed he had been distant and always of on his own with that new girl who she had seen at the wedding who she learned was Rebekah Mikaelson in a new body.
Waiting at Marcel's apartment with her violin sat next to her on the large chair. She wasn't sure why Elijah had asked for her to bring it out of storage. Raising her head she saw Elijah standing before her when he hadn't a few moments ago.
"Talk about stealth" she spoke irritated by his clear demand that she be here.
She was supposed to be with Josh "So what do you want Elijah?" she asked as she opened her violin case.

Elijah realized that he and Gia had not spoken in several days since the wedding of Hayley and Jackson. But with recent events involving his elder sister he had found the need to put things in order. He did realize that he had been less than forthcoming with Gia over recent months and he felt responsible for not taking the care he promised to give her. But again recent events had distracted him making him loose sight of the value of friendship.
Making a visit to the compound across the river where Marcellus and his vampire army currently resided. He entered the grand room that served as the main lounge, instead of colours on the walls instead were concrete. Not a particularfavour of Elijah's. But alas it was not his home.
Morphing from his speed into a stance in front of Gia, a soft smirk spread across his sullen face "I require your assistance on a rather delicate matter" he told her open and honestly.
Gia had been lightly dusting down her violin and tuning the sound. How she had missed this. Spending every night out on the streets playing her music. It was the one thing that she missed about being human. Stopping in her tracks she looked at him.
"So wait? Now you want my help?" she looked bemused at that fact "You tell me to leave and then you want me to drop everything to come and help you? Why should I help you? It's not like you have helped me is it?" she smirked sarcastically.

Elijah kept a firm but yet soft gaze towards Gia. He listened to what she had to say and offered a nod every now and then. She was right and he could not deny that he had been perfect as those around him seemed to label him. But for the last few months he had not exactly been himself due to his mother's captivity.
"...I cannot explain my less than perfect presence in your life Gia. But perhaps in time you shall learn to know what it means to be part of the most hunted family in existence" he answered her back "But for what it is worth. You have my apologies" he apologized in his own way.
Taking a step towards her "I am asking for your help Gia. I trust no other with this task that I am offering you" he told her sincerely.
Gia rolled her eyes and tilted her head to the side and licked her lips.
"Yeah I get that you and your family have some sort of supernatural target on your backs. And you think your life is in constant danger Elijah? Your brother sired Marcel and he sired me. So if your brother dies then so do I? But if you want to compare notes then please do go ahead. It's not like I don't have the time" she spoke with irritation in her voice.
She found herself pausing as she was about to speak and tried to hide the smile that threatened to make itself known. Rolling her shoulders "Fine. What do you need me to do?" she asked curious to know what Elijah needed from her.

Elijah smirked and began pacing a few paces in front of the young vampire "Earlier this evening men attempted to abduct my sister and it has come to light that her temporary host is a witch with a past that we cannot figure out. So in order to find out this information, a visit is required to a witch of a higher station that shall know of her past" he told her.
After learning that Rebekah's life was in danger, he could not loose another sibling, not after the death of Kol. So Elijah was making it his priority to recover this information.
Gia tried to hide the pride that beaming inside of her. Elijah Mikaelson needed her help and that made her feel sort of smug about that. But what Gia didn't understand was why did he need her exactly and why did she need her violin? Shaking her head to bring her back down to reality with a thud.
"Why don't you ask Katherine? I mean she is back to normal now isn't she?" she quizzed him and seeing his expression "Marcel told me" she spoke before he could ask.
That was how Gia got all of her information now days, all from Marcel when she would have rather it come from the horses mouth.

Elijah moved across the small space that he was using to lean against a pillar "Katerina does not know of this and she must never find out about this Gia. She is vulnerable at present and I do not desire to put her in any more harm due to my family or business that may affect her current state of mind" he answered her back.
Elijah did not need to go into details about everything that had happened whilst his sister infected Katerina with her presence. If he knew Marcellus which he did, Marcellus would have divulged everything that Elijah knew and as of right now he did not wish to discuss such private matters.
"So under no circumstances should you discuss this with Katerina. Understood" he told her with a clear demand.
Gia listened to what Elijah had to say and nodded "So why do you need me? If this woman knows who is after your sister then why do you want my violin? Can't we just bring wine? Or cake? Coffee cake is everyone's favourite?" she asked still not knowing exactly why Elijah needed her.
Opening her violin case again she gently placed it inside and made sure that it was nestled in unable to move. The last thing she wanted to do was break her most prized possession.

As she nodded in under-stance, Elijah pulled out two piece of paper and handed them to Gia "From what I can gather Miss LaRue was something of a musical prodigy in her youth. The way to her heart is through the music that she loves the most. Beethoven" he smirked indicating to the papers that he had just handed Gia.
Elijah knew how talented Gia was with her violin playing and was very capable of learning such a piece in such a short space of time. It was the one thing that he admired about her. Through the change in vampire she had kept her ability to play such a fine and delicate instrument.
"So what do you say Gia? Will you help me with this predicament?" he asked sincerely.
Gia ran her hands through her hair. None of this was making sense at all. What did this woman witch know that Elijah needed to know?
"Tell you what? How about I bring my laptop and speakers and add a beat to it?" she added sarcastically.
Elijah had been an ass recently and here he just shows up and expects her to drop everything to run off and help him. Where was he when she needed him the most? When she had been held captive by his psychotic brother, where was he?

"A promise of your performance shall open the door for us and should this fail. The life of someone very important to me shall be in jeopardy and that shall displease me immensely" he told her.
Turning from her he headed towards the exit, with a click of his fingers "Shall we go please"
There was no time to waste and with Rebekah's life in danger he could not waste another moment as it would only be a matter of time before those men attempted another abduction on the body that Rebekah was temporarily in control off. After the death of Kol, Elijah would not loose his sister.
Placing the music sheets on top of her violin case. Was he serious right now? Snapping his fingers and expecting her to head like some dog "No" she answered simply.
"Why don't you make both of our lives easier and compel someone from the symphony" she told Elijah. She was pissed at him for just marching in here and making demands like he owned the place.

Turning around to face Gia, one hand resting on the stone pillar "My darling Gia you are an artist. Far more gifted than anyone in the local symphony. Unfortunately Miss LaRue despises vampires and we need to show her that our community is comprised of a different breed...within your sophistication" he spoke and folded his arms across his chest.
Elijah had heard of Miss LaRue only from whispers throughout the French Quarter that Miss LaRue was the head matriarch of the witches outside of the French Quarter and that she was the leader. Of course Elijah had his own version of what a leader was.
But this was something that needed to be done and he would not leave without Gia, even if he had to compel her to follow his orders.
Gia shook her head smiling "Sophisticated huh? I guess you will want me in a dress?" she asked.
The last thing Gia wanted was to wear a dress, it was only when she absolutely needed to did a dress come out of her closet. She was much more happier with cargo pants and a jacket.
"And you dark suit on the left side of your closet or identical black suit on the right?" the mocked teasing him.
