Ra let out a long sigh as she relaxed back into the chaise longue having taken a rather stressful call. One of her sources had informed her that Elijah had been taken by his resurrected mother and although she was sticking by her pledge to not interfere in the Mikaelson's lives she still felt the nagging urge to do something about it. '48 hours. Then I'll interfere.' She muttered to herself before being interrupted by the ringing of her phone for a second time that night. 'What?!' she snapped, having lost her patience.

'Now is that anyway to talk to your long lost lover, darling?' She immediately broke into a smile at the voice that, although not his familiar one, was easily recognisable as the younger Mikaelson brother.

'Hello Kol.'

'That was quite an entrance you made earlier, Ra. And what was this you were saying about a new cult?' She smirked before replying down the phone.

'Sometimes I just like the attention, and humans are as easy as ever to manipulate.' She defended herself.

'You say that as if you aren't one.'

'You know I haven't been one in years.' She laughed.

'Well anyway I need some help, and seeing as you're the only one in this city I trust, you're gonna help me.' She sat up at this, eyes narrowing.

'Kol, you were brought back as a witch. Anything that requires more power than you have is something that I'm not going to be persuaded to do so easily, especially as you are still running around being Esther's errand boy.'

'Fine then. See if I care, I'll just have Davina do it.' He bit out. She recoiled at his tone before composing herself to reply.

'You do that darling. I only wish to be reunited with this family and I'll have no part in these warring factions. I will choose what I do and when I want to do it. Now why don't you run along to the harvest girl, I have business to take care of.' With that she hung up the call decisively, turning to the figure who stepped out of the shadows. 'Begin unravelling the strings. It seems I will have to interfere after all.'

The figure slipped away with a quiet affirmation as she stood to walk further into the house.

…

Ra did not have to wait long for news. With the foundations being subtly pulled under her Esther had begun to panic and allowed Elijah to be returned to his rightful place among family. Ra had decided from this that today would be the day she returned to the light, no longer hiding in the background. As soon as that decision had been reached she travelled across the city to where she knew they would be. Wearing a hoodie so as to try and blend as well as not be recognised by any unsavoury characters, the woman stopped in front of a familiar building.

Entering the familiar compound after so long brought back both the pleasant and darker memories that she had thought she had forgotten. In the open square a woman was already stood, allowing Ra to not have to look for who she needed. 'Oh how surprising, a hybrid.' Ra said sarcastically as the woman stood, baring double fangs. 'Now if you'd be a dear and fetch someone important that would be-' The woman rushed at her, only to freeze an inch away from her neck, with the female's neck being slowly crushed. Ra laughed 'Now now, that isn't very polite is it darling?' with a flick of her wrist the hybrid spun to face back where she had came. 'Go. Get. You. Master.' Ra punctuated each word with a telekinetic shove before releasing the girl.

'I'm not her master.' Ra looked up at the balcony just in time to see the hybrid she wanted to talk to jump over the rail and land in front of the gir

'Master, sire, dominus, same thing. Sometimes all those languages get a bit jumbled, though I think I could be forgiven for that.' Ra shrugged, continuing to conceal her face with the hood. The Original hybrid strode forward to pin her against the wall as she laughed.

'What…' Words left him as he pulled back the hood to reveal the girl, the aggression that was coursing through him a moment before dissipating. He stepped back and folded his arms over his chest. 'What are you doing here, love?'

Ra stepped forward with a grin on her face to reply only to be cut off by the female hybrid walking towards her, glaring. 'You know her? She tried to kill me!' The girl whined only to be brushed off by Klaus.

'Oh I'm sure she wasn't planning on killing you little wolf. She just plays rough sometimes.'

Ra nodded as his words, letting a mischievous smile cross her face, 'You were the one that attacked me darling, I just defended myself. Sorry if I was a bit rough, I forget how fragile you fledglings are.' The girl huffed again, looking between Klaus and Ra as if to tell him he should be doing something.

'You didn't answer my question.' Klaus raised his eyebrows, smirking at the girls' confrontation.

'Well you know my answer Nik, don't you.' Ra raised her chin defiantly.

'Of course. How is my brother?'

'Pissed at me for not worshipping the ground he walks on.' Ra said, folding her arms.

'Well that's all sorts of the wrong way round; as I'm sure your pride keeps telling you.' Klaus grinned as Hayley watched, utterly confused.

'I'm not that bad Nik, I've got a lot better with these past centuries decline in organised religion.'

'Ok, can someone tell me what the hell is going on? Who is this Klaus?' Hayley interrupted again. Klaus rolled his eyes before stepping forward, waving his arm between the women.

'Ra, this is Hayley. Hayley this is Ra. A very old friend.' The warning was clear in his voice while Ra laughed pulling the man into a tight hug, which to Hayley's shock, he returned.

'Now Nik, where's Elijah? I heard he got into a bit of a hostage situation with your mother.' Klaus' face became grave as he nodded.

'It seems mother dearest has placed him in an enchanted sleep. I'm heading out to the Bayou to find the cure.' Ra nodded understandingly, allowing a grin as Hayley pulled Klaus away to whisper to him, not knowing she was still easily within hearing range.

'Klaus, are you sure you can trust her knowing that? I mean I get that she might be an old friend, but when was the last time you saw her? She could have easily changed since then.' Hayley spoke.

'I'm going to let this go since you don't know her but don't ever question that woman in front of me.' Klaus' voice was threatening before becoming jovial; 'There are few things that have never and will never change, and one of those is Ra.' Klaus looked over Hayley's shoulder at the eavesdropper, 'Isn't that right love.'

'Well I'd like to think my patience has increase.' Ra joked, 'Speaking of which, I think I may go and find out what Kol is up to. If it requires as much power as he seems to think then I do not want him directing the show.' Klaus nodded approvingly as the woman turned on her heel and walked out of the compound.

Hope you enjoyed this chapter! Please leave a review, whether positive or critical I welcome both. Next chapter will have a little less Ra but a lot of opinions about her.
