A/N: Just so you know this is not really a crossover. Even though I have watched both The Secret Circle and The Originals, I don't want anyone to get confused and assume that she is the same bitch from The Secret Circle and the "little wolf" from The Originals. I kept her name as Hayley simply because I recently watched the first season of The Originals and can't imagine calling her anything else. I also didn't realize that Cassie was the blonde from The Secret Circle when I used her name in this. I just thought that both actresses looked ridiculously alike so I went with it. Hope you guys don't mind though I'm glad that most of you noticed her :)


Chapter 2: Family Reunited

Wendy heard her sister's voice and knew that she was upset with her. She tried to think of everything that she had done within the past week to get her this angry, so that she could have her excuse ready. But aside from finishing the last of the coffee this morning, there really wasn't anything in particular that grabbed her attention.

"What did I do now, Joanna?" Wendy complained as she began walking down the steps. The second she was halfway downstairs her gaze met her sister's eyes and then moved toward Hayley. Immediately, her mouth dropped open.

Hayley stared back at her casually as if she hadn't just seen her mother for the first time. The truth was she wanted nothing to do with her but… she was in danger and so were her friends. And desperate times called for desperate measures.

Also, all of this was mainly her own fault. The least she could do was try and ask for Wendy's help, even though she wasn't sure she would have gotten it.

Wendy felt her heart sink as she stared back at her daughter. What the hell is she doing here? she wondered.

Eventually she caught her breath. "What…how did you—"

"Find you?" Cassie finished for her. "We scried using Hayley's blood."

"Woah!" Wendy put her hand up in the air. "…What do you mean you scried?" she asked angrily. "You know?"

Hayley squinted her eyes at her, "That I'm a witch? Yeah. Thank you for telling me by the way. That was very thoughtful of you," the teen retorted. It was obvious that she was angry now but Wendy figured as much.

"No," Wendy shook her head. "You weren't supposed to find out."

"Wendy!" Joanna chastised.

"No Joanna!" Wendy snapped back. "I had to keep her from all of this craziness. She wasn't supposed to find out. We have to fix this."

"Fix what?" Freya asked in confusion as she stared from Wendy to Joanna to Hayley.

Wendy ignored her and stared at her sister, "Joanna, you're the only one who can do this. Erase her memory or something. Please?" she begged.

"What?" Hayley screeched. "No, Joanna. Don't do that," the teen threatened in a much louder voice.

"You better not," Cassie warned.

"Why would you want to erase her memory?" Freya asked. "And why would you keep her from us in the first place?" she continued.

"Freya, it's complicated," Wendy snapped at her. The truth was she didn't want to get into all of this right now. She wanted to fix it and she wanted to fix it fast.

"She's family. How complicated can it be?" Freya retorted.

"Wendy, kitchen, now," Joanna ordered.

Wendy sucked in a deep breath as she glanced over at the two teens, who were both glaring at her, "Both of you…stay here," she instructed awkwardly before she looked over at Freya, "Keep an eye on them, please."

"This is great," Freya sighed. "I'm playing babysitter when I should be getting ready for my lunch date. How awesome. Thanks aunt Wendy…"


Wendy knew that she was about to receive a lecture from her sister but followed her into the kitchen anyway. The sooner that she got the lecture over with, the sooner Joanna would erase their memories and everything would be back to the way it was supposed to be. The younger sibling let out a deep breath as she took a seat on a chair.

"I cannot believe you kept this from me, Wendy. You have a daughter, I have a niece, and you never thought to mention it?"

"I—"

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Joanna continued causing Wendy to let out another deep breath before she had to listen to her sister rant. "Out of all of the stupid things you've ever done, this…. this is by far the stupidest."

"I'm sorry, Joanna," Wendy yelled. "I'm sorry that I'm not you! I'm sorry that I couldn't handle this parenting thing like you could! I'm sorry that I couldn't raise Hayley to then watch her die in our world! Only she doesn't get to come back like me, or like you, or like Ingrid and Freya do! …If something were to happen to her, she'd die! And I couldn't let that happen so I did what I had to do! And I'd do it again if I had to."

"Who's her father?" Joanna questioned, as if she hadn't been paying attention to a thing her sister said.

"You don't know him. He was a mortal. And I prayed that she wouldn't have powers and take after him… but look how well that turned out," Wendy said sarcastically.

"I still can't believe you didn't tell me," Joanna shook her head. "I tell you everything."

"Well you stopped talking to me for over a hundred years or did you forget?"

"So this is my fault? …Excuse me for holding a grudge on you when you killed my daughter. I'm sorry. I should have been more understanding."

"No, it's not your fault. But I wanted to put all of that behind me."

"By abandoning her?" Joanna shouted back.

"Yes," Wendy answered in a firmer tone.

"You should know more than anyone that you can't change fate."

"Well, I could if you just erased their memories and sent them back home," Wendy said as if that were to solve everything.

"There's a demon after them. We can't do that. And I won't erase my niece's memory because you're too scared to be a parent."

"I'm not sc— what do you mean, a demon?" Wendy's face fell.

Joanna shook her head, "I don't know. I'm too angry at you to even go there right now."

"What do you mean, a demon?" Wendy shouted even louder, as she left the kitchen and stormed back into the living room.

But the second she got there she noticed Freya was frozen in place with her eyes closed and her mouth halfway open.

Joanna followed her in and saw that her daughter wasn't moving. She shook her head and sighed. "Regelo," she said and Freya instantly unfroze.

"What the hell happened?" Freya asked in confusion.

"Your cousin froze you," Joanna said matter-of-factly.

"That bitch," Freya mumbled as she glanced around the room.

"Takes after her mother apparently," Joanna crossed her arms over her chest.

"Where did she go?" Wendy asked worriedly as she ran for the door.

And as mad as she was at her sister for lying to her all of these years, Joanna wasn't going to let that anger cloud her better judgment. Wendy obviously did all of this to protect Hayley, and she wasn't going to just sit back and watch her sister go crazy.

"We'll find her," Joanna answered as she grabbed her car keys and her jacket from the closet. "Let's go."
