"And this witch is willing?" Klaus asked as he quickly walked into his bedroom courters and shut the two doors. A frown was on his face as he sighed heavily.

"No.. But as our little sister says we will make this happen." Elijah's voice rang through the speaker and the original hybrid could practically hear the smirk on his brothers lips.

"You become more and more like me everyday brother." Klaus smirked, proud.

There was a silence.

"We are going to bring her home, Niklaus." Elijah said softly. "You have my word on that."

Klaus let out a deep breath, his face becoming dark and determined. "What do you need?"


As Rebekah and Elijah got out of the car Rebekah had a bad feeling welling in her gut. She wanted so desperately to believe that this would be the lead that would bring that little girl home to her parents. She needed to believe that in fear of what would happen to her if it wasn't. The pure guilt of not being able to stop them from taking her. Her not being aware enough had led to the destruction of the Mikaelson Family.

Klaus not talking to her, Hayley a complete wreck, and Elijah and her..

She took in a shaky breath as a memory from quite a long time ago rushed over her.

"Rebekah?"

It had been about a week sense she had seen Elijah again after about 2 years. He had called her, telling her that he needed some time out of New Orleans, the reason being Hayley and how he couldn't watch her destroy herself any longer and she eagerly had jumped on it, telling him that she had a lead on where Hope could be.

It had turned out to be nothing regarding Hope. Vampires, many of them, had been taking children around the ages of 11 and 13 and feeding from them, raising and then turning them but Hope wasn't there. Elijah had gotten most of the kids out alive and slaughtered those involved but once again, none of those kids were Hope.

"Rebekah?" Elijah repeated as he walked into the living room in the loft Rebekah had been staying at to see his sister completely breaking down, he had only left for a moment to call Klaus and now this.

Glass lamps and vases had been thrown to the wall, a table flipped over and a large whole in the wall.

Rebekah had tears running down her face as well as bloody hands from the glass penetrating her skin.

Just as Rebekah picked up the empty bottle of bourbon to throw at the wall Elijah flashed up to her before she could hurt herself further.

"Rebekah! Stop!" Elijah grabbed her arms as he blocked her, his frantic eyes meeting her tear filled ones.

She let out a sob and collapsed into his arms, he slowly sunk the ground with her and allowed her to cry as he held her tightly.

"Rebekah.." Elijah paused. "You need to stay strong."

"I- I cant." Rebekah sobbed into him. "This is my fault! All of this is my fault!"

"This is not your fault sister." Elijah held her face and forced her to look up at him and his heart broke at his sisters tear filled and broken down face. "This fault goes to those who took her from us-"

"Because of me." She sobbed. "I couldn't stop it."

He smelt the alcohol on her breath as she said this to him, her words becoming slurred.

Elijah couldn't respond.

"I see the way you look at me now." She said in a whisper, her eyes wide. "You know it Elijah. Just as Niklaus does. And Hayley. I couldn't.. I couldn't stop it. Niklaus trusted me and I-"

"You did everything everything to protect that girl." Elijah said, his voice raised in anger. "You have fought every day to find her and bring her home! Which is more then all of us!"

Rebekah looked down and shook her head softly. "And yet I still have not found her.."

Once again, Elijah couldn't respond

Rebekah took in a deep breath and forced a smile as she was shook back into reality by Elijah clearing his throat and walking up to the home's doors.

They knocked, and waited.


"And this one?" She held up two cards with the number 12 on them.

"Umm... 24?"

"That's good!" The person smiled gently at Hope as they kissed her on the top of the head. "You're are very smart."

The child hesitated, shifting in her spot. "Why don't I have a mommy?"

The one in front of her shifted in their spot and gulped down the words they wanted to say and turned to her with a smile. "You don't need your mother. We are your family. Mother's are nothing but betrayers who bring you pain and disappointment. Okay? Now come on, she will be back soon. Go back to sleep or she will be upset."

The 6 year old nodded and did as told, those words dwelling in her mind as she went back to sleep.

"Goodnight Hope."


"My name is Elijah Mikaelson. This is my sister, Rebekah Mikaelson. I assume you are Jasmine?" Elijah said when a short, dark skinned girl who looked to be in her thirties opened the door and frowned at them.

"We need your help." Rebekah added, her face straight.

The women let out a little laugh as she shook her head. "I don't need to be getting involved with your vampire business. Especially those of Original Vampires."

"Please." Elijah cut into her angry rant. "We just need to speak to you. The life of a little girl is on the line."

Jasmine hesitated, standing up a little straighter and taking in a deep breath. "What little girl?"

"The..' Rebekah paused and shared a look with Elijah. "The daughter of Klaus Mikaelson."

When the witch, Jasmine, tensed they knew she knew who she was. "Last I heard that little one was dead."

"She is not." Elijah said before his eyes met the ground. "..We don't think she is."

"Will you help us?" Rebekah asked with hopeful and kind eyes when Jasmine didn't talk nor close the door.

"I will hear you out." Jasmine said and nodded. "For the child. Come in."

Elijah and Rebekah both let out the breaths they didn't know they were holding as they were invited into the household.


"A locator spell?" She asked, raising an eyebrow at them. "That's it?"

"We.." Elijah paused, clearing his throat. "We don't know who took her. Or how powerful they are. Or even what they are. They have been blocking her from all magic but you are known to be somewhat of a legend at locater spells."

The witch paused, staring at them and trying to find even an inch of dishonestly.

Jasmine sighed. "Okay. I'm going to need something that belonged to the child. And the blood of one of her parents. The mother would be best."

Elijah and Rebekah shared a look.

"We don't have that." Rebekah said after a few seconds, she turned to Elijah. "Nik said that there was no way that he could just take Hayley's blood and she wouldn't suspect something."

"No blood, no spell." She told them.

Elijah and Rebekah shared a look before sighing. "Go to New Orleans."

"What?" Rebekah spat out, her eyes widening. "I can't-'

"Yes you can, Rebekah. You were not exiled you left." Elijah said and shot her a little look. "I will call Niklaus and tell him to have Hayley's blood ready as soon as you step foot there. With any luck you won't be long and we can get on with the spell."

"Why can't you-"

"Rebekah." Elijah turned to her with a sigh. "If Hayley were to see me right after I left to go to you-"

"She will know something was wrong." Rebekah nodded and looked up at the witch, her lips pursed.

"If we have the mothers blood, and something that belonged to the child you will do the spell? You will be able to tell us where she is?" Rebekah asked.

She nodded. "Yes. I will do the spell. But I cannot make the promise of being able to tell you where she is. Like you said, you don't know who took her. I don't know what they're blocking her with and I'm guessing I'm not the first witch to try this."

Rebekah gulped down the worry and looked to Elijah with a small, forced smile.

He moved forward and kissed her on the cheek, hugging her briefly before nodding at her as she flashed out of the room.

Elijah turned to the witch with a little smile. "Well? Why don't you walk me through the process after we get what we need?"
