*New Orleans - French Quarter - Hours earlier*

Laurette and Davina walk together through the French Quarter, Laurette's long hair now a shoulder length hair style.

For the last few months after saving the baby, Laurette's mission became to know more about the time she was currently living.

Alex decided to return to the Coven wanting to try to change their ways of teaching, Laurette hadn't seen her since then, the witches not knowing her part into saving the Baby due to her clocking spell.

She was glad Alex was safe and that left Davina to help her. The girl, a year and a half younger than Laurette became her guide and new best friend along with Josh.

Davina made sure to help Laurette with her change to a modern girl and helped her with everything.

Right now they were making their way to a boutique when a record shop caught Laurette's eye.

"Thats where I buy music, they have awesome vinyl records of Iceland folk music..."

Laurette tilted her head in curiousness knowing the music wasn't for her as the genre wasn't something Davina liked but she never knew for who was the music

"Do you think there's music from the 1800's?" She asked quietly making Davina purse her lips in sympathy

"I can talk to Joe, the manager. He may have something..." She said optimistic. Laurette sighed and nodded following behind Davina

She stopped just outside the shop steps away from entering lost in her thoughts. She adjusted very quickly to the modern era but there were moments the last few months when nostalgia hit her

She shook her head taking a deep breath walking inside smiling at the sight of Davina and the man she thought it to be Joe.

She walked to them bumping into a guy in their way to them "Uh, sorry..." She apologized shaking her head.

The guy smiled at her shrugging "No worries, love" he said with a slight British accent moving out of the way so she couple continue walking

Laurette chuckled and walked past him "Thank you" she couldn't help but bow curtly in thanks as she used to do before. She took a deep breath reaching Davina and Joe

Davina smiled at Laurette and looked at Joe "Hey, Joe. This is Laurette and she was wondering if you had some music from the 1800's, it's for her grandmother... It's her birthday this week"

Laurette nodded in agreement with a small smile. Joe grinned to himself looking at th girls and nodded moving to the back. Laurette exchanged a chuckle with Davina and waited no more than two minutes when Joe came back

"I can assure you, your grandmother would love this... It's the classic of the era" Joe told the witch smiling

Laurette smiled at him "Thank you!"

Joe grinned for having two satisfied clients and nodded at them "My pleasure ladies"

The witches smiled at him and turned to walk away, Laurette again bumping into the same guy making her smile awkwardly. He smiled again at her and walked away.

Davina nudged her smirking "Is it me or was he trying to call your attention? It's the second time he runs into you in less than 15 minutes..."

Laurette bit her bottom lip shaking her head shoving lightly at Davina "Accidents happen..."

Davina smirked chuckling as they made their way to the door, their smiles fading away stopping in their tracks as a werewolf they thought him good entered the shop.

"Hey, there cuties" Oliver smiled at them

Laurette rolled her eyes in disgust as Davina eyed him unimpressed "Don't call us that"

Oliver chuckled "So, I heard that you ditched your coven" he aimed at Davina while picking up record from her hands to examine it "That's too bad. That other Harvest girl, Cassie? She has been super helpful to all us wolves"

"She's making you moonlight rings, Oliver. I wouldn't call that helpful, I'd call that an alliance" Laurette called out bored. She had learned since leaving with the Mikaelson's for a month to not fear anyone. After all, if she didn't fear the Original Hybrid why would she fear someone else?

Oliver rolled his eyes at the oldest witch "Well, you can call it whatever you want. As long as we don't have to turn on the full moon anymore, it works for me" he leans in closer and whispers "Look, I'd take off if I were you. Things are about to get a little ugly in here"

The girls raised their eyebrows in boredom as Oliver straightened out and raised voice and shouts to the rest of the store patrons

"Hey y'all, store's closed. Get out, now!"

Joe confused walks over to the supernaturals

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Oliver's eyes lit up slightly as he eyed Joe "It's Joe Dalton, right? You see, I've been studying up on this store. It's been a staple of the Quarter for ninety years... it was run by you, your daddy, and then his daddy before him?

Joe clenched his jaw anxiously, tensing "That's right"

Laurette furrowed her eyebrows not knowing where this was going, she exchanged a confused look with Davina, both of them watching with interest the conversation

"Yeah, you see, the thing is, Joe, there just ain't many photos of anyone in your family... " Oliver pulls out an old black and white photo of a young man "... but you"

Both Davina and Laurette realizes Joe's a vampire looking at him who just realized he's been outed to the witches and the werewolves

"Oliver, NO" Davina exclaims as Joe vamp -speeds toward the door but he gets blocked in by two more werewolves, all with moonlight rings.

Laurette purses her lips narrowing her eyes

"Stop! Stop it! STOP IT!"

The werewolves wrestle with Joe and extend their fangs to bite him when both witches hits them all with a pain infliction spell making them grab their heads in pain falling to their knees leaving Joe unhurt giving him the chance to get out of their grip before Joe can be bitten

"Joe, get out of here!" Laurette looked at him nodding. Joe nodded grateful with the witches and fled away

Oliver winces and glares at the girls still on his knees on the floor

~8~

Laurette stands alone outside the park when she feels eyes watching her, she looks from behind her to find no one and narrows her eyes suspiciously looking back at the front not being startled in the slightest when someone appears in front of her

She tilts her head aside curiously as a smirk spreads in her lips

~8~

Laurette makes her way home whistling slightly loud, flickering her eyes to behind her a couple of times realizing she was being followed

She fastened her pace looking nervous for a second before turning around in a corner cursing under her breath when she noticed she hit a dead end.

She sighed turning around to face the werewolves "You know I'm a strong witch who can burn you to dead with just one word, right?" She asked tilting her head aside crossing her arms

"We know you hate the Hybrid. We know the priest trusted you to hid the Oak stake... Tell us and your problems end, witch"

Laurette held back a chuckle and a smirk, they couldn't be more wrong about that statement.

After all, the priest killed her for her second time.

"Oh, well... " Laurette feigned shy interest "Are you sure you will kill him?" She asked slowly

The lead werewolf smirked at her brushing some hair of his face and that's where she spotted it.

In his left ring finger. A moonlight ring. Her eyes flickered to all the werewolves' hands quickly realizing they all owned one before looking up at the werewolf with a smile

"Follow me. I have the perfect hiding place" Laurette smirked.

The plan was going exactly as how the Mikaelson's told her it would.

She just needed to take them to the location and wait for Josh and Marcel.

~8~

Laurette lead the werewolves to an abandoned foundry. She stops walking exactly in the middle of the foundry and watches the werewolves following her inside looking around suspiciously and curiously.

She watches as all of them walked inside and rubbed her bracelet moving her lips discretely chanting a spell.

A warning to Josh telling him they were all inside.

"Start from the corners. Work the room from the outside in" The lead werewolf ordered the others before settling his eyes on the annoyed looking witch.

One of her hands in her jacket pocket and the other resting on her side as she watches him annoyed

"There's nothing here!" A werewolf calls making Laurette flicker her eyes around in annoyance but she couldn't hold back a smirk playing on her lips.

One of her hands in her jacket pocket as she brushed her shorter light brown hair behind her ear.

"Where's the Oak Stake, witch?" A werewolf glared at a Laurette making her smirk grow wider

"Isn't it here?" She asked feigning innocence looking around. The werewolf gives a threatening step forward trying to scare her off but she just tilts her head aside in boredom

The werewolf's face contorts in pain eyeing Laurette's hand resting on her side twisted in a half fist. He growls making Laurette tut

"Easy with your manners, my friend. The lady has shown to have quit the temper when she's bored this last few weeks" a male voice sounded from a platform near the ceiling. The werewolves minus Laurette looked up meeting with a smirking Marcel

"What a timing, Marcel. I was starting to think you were gonna ditch me in here" Laurette smirked up at the dark skinned vampire. Marcel rolled his eyes, both of them for a moment forgetting about the confused werewolves with them

"How could I? I'm not one to stood up an 18 year old alone in her first date. One of my guys that has an eye on you is around, want me to call him so you both can kiss under the rain?" He teased taking out a lighter raising up as if to prove a point.

Laurette rolled her eyes making a face "No. I have no intention of dating a vampire, Ew... But I do want to enjoy a little rain" she turned to the werewolves innocently "Don't you?"

They hesitated in confusion. What exactly were they planning?

Laurette rolled her eyes "Whatever. Can you please, Marcel?"

Marcel lights the lighter and pulls it under one of the sprinkler system. Laurette quickly looked back at the werewolves as if just realizing something

"Ups! Did I mention I like wolfsbane rain?" She asked as soon as the sprinkler system sprayed wolfsbane- infused water down on the werewolves.

Their skin burning on from the exposure caused them to scream in pain. One of the werewolves in anger nears Laurette making her raise her hand up smirking stopping him in place, she twists her fingers slightly to turn the water to him making him scream in pain as he burns. She raises her other hand and watches as Marcel slices a werewolves' fingers and whistles catching his attention. She raised her other hand shooting him a pointed look and he nods speeding away after grabbing a moonlight ring.

Laurette returns again her gaze to the pained werewolves and tilts her head in boredom raising her hand up

"Incendia!"

The remained werewolves burned to dead after a couple of seconds, Laurette dusted her hands in her jeans kneeling down in front a dead werewolf taking the moonlight ring of his finger in disgust of touching his burned flesh

"Yikes, buddy. Next time remind me of not burning the place I need" she shook her head standing up rejoining Marcel

She looked up at him making a face at him "Tell me you were kidding when you said that about your vampire..."

Marcel chuckled in amusement shaking his head as they both walked away

"You haven't answer my question, Marcellus"

~8~

Mikaelson's Compound

Laurette walks inside the next morning not bothered about the bloodied courtyard and just walks past the bodies to the study

She stands in the doorway tilting her head at the frowning vampires while twirling in her hands two moonlight rings

"You're counting ten, aren't you?" She called out making their eyes snap at her.

Elijah sighs in relief seeing at the smirking witch as she makes her way to them handing one ring to Elijah and one to Klaus.

"So, my job is done. I hope you don't come to me asking for more favors. I've risked my life hundred of times the last few months for your family, no more" Laurette told them sternly before turning in her heel and walking away. She hesitated slightly and looked over her shoulder "Those were forged by a witch. The only elements that can destroy them are water and fire..."

She turned around and walked away from them again sighing leaving the compound

~8~

Laurette making her way home had to walk through the middle of the Quarter where the record shop was.

She bit her lips finding the place trashed and closed. She furrows her eyebrows sadly reading the sign

She had only met him once and he was nice unlike some vampires she had met.

"Aw, man. This sucks!"

A familiar British voice makes her look behind her only to be met with the boy who bumped into her twice the day before "No trades today. I mean, it's worse for your friend, of course- guy had the market cornered on the ancient Icelandic folk scene"

Laurette chuckled shaking her head "Those weren't for her" she said laughing slightly

The guy eyed her unconvinced and chuckled tilting his head at her "Really? So the music was for the Grandmother too?"

Laurette bit her lip shrugging "What can I say. I like old music" she admitted shyly

He chuckled and held his hand to shake Laurette's

"I'm Kaleb"

Laurette shook his hand "Laurette"

Kaleb smiled "That's a pretty name. How well do you know New Orleans? I may be a little new around here and I don't know the place. You seem to know it. Care you show me?"

Kaleb smiles at her charmingly making Laurette feel slightly awkward but she still returns the smile

"Sure. I can help..." She said biting her lip
