AN: as some of these characters haven't been mentioned/seen until season 2, I thought that these would be the best people to help Elena heal while she's with the French Quarter witches and most of the wolves

I'll explain at the end why this particular witch has been chosen :)

...on a side note, this is probably the longest chapter I've written for this story!


Chapter 8: Elijah wants to do a little BLOODLETTING of his own

I have had dreams and I have had nightmares, but I have conquered my nightmares because of my dreams-Jonas Salk

RECAP:

If only their captor knew that both would be discovered in many hours, all of this could have been forgotten.

Apparently, stupidity is what drives people and these two were the stupidest ones in the world.


Hours earlier, Rebekah was driving away from Marcel who was eating an apple, shirtless, on the terrace of the compound.

"I have lived a lot longer than you, Marcellus! I have seen kings rise and fall, and if there's one thing that I know to be true it is that no matter how big your empire becomes, it is nothing if you have no one to share it with. You want New Orleans? Have it. I won't be here to stop you."

So she left, tears falling from her cheeks and hitting the ground in her wake.

When Klaus called her to ask if she had Elena or even Hayley with her, she was telling him at she had last seen them at the plantation house and Elena was trying to read a book on European History as Hayley was making some lemonade.

Klaus was now sweating bullets as he realized that Hayley was missing while Elijah seemed to be planning a murder or more of whoever stole Elena from him.


Once Elena woke up from her drug induced sleep, she started looking around her surroundings and saw that she was tied up with a zip tie. Anger flashed through eyes and they flashed again as she kept muttering under her breath a spell that would break the bonds on her wrists. She had noticed Hayley was there and seemed to be in the state of wakefulness and sleep.

"What's going on?" Hayley asked before her senses picked up a slight smell. Elena delicately sniffed the air and nearly puked at whoever thought that watermelon went well with a barrage of florals and booze. "Caroline." She snarled viciously.

"Who? I'm not familiar with crazy psycho bitch stalkers." Elena told her with a glance at the doors.

"A blonde baby vampire who believes that she's better than everyone-including Klaus." Hayley answered coldly.

Elena had to groan. "A damn baby brat took us? I only saw a guy knock me out." Her eyes darkened to black before she stared at Hayley. "Remember that life force linking spell I placed in you? Who I linked you to can find us if you just opened your mind to him at the moment."

Hayley, nodding, closed her eyes and proceeded to open her mind when the car pulled over. She managed to open it halfway when the doors were pulled and the moon showered the two figures in front of them.

The first was a blonde girl wearing a pair of designer jeans and heels with a flashy silver halter top while the guy was in boots, jeans and a nondescript gray short sleeve shirt.

"Hello again Katherine," the girl sneered. "How's your trip going?" She begun snickering at her own words.

"Who the fucking hell is Katherine?" She looked from the psycho blonde, the idiot man and Hayley.

"Katherine Pierce is a five hundred year old vampire who you look exactly alike but I'd never insult you so badly." Hayley told her without a glance.

"Well I guess I should thank you for that," the witch replied before she shrugged. "That thing believes she's better than the Hybrid King? Don't make me laugh!"

The male went over to her and injected something into her which made her sleep again.

Hayley looked at them horrified at what they're doing.

"What are you injecting her with?" she was angry and she was also afraid on Elena's behalf. The female wolf had grown to think of Elena as the sister that she had always wanted.

"A mixture of vervain and a few narcotics." The male replied before he knocked her out with a sleep aid.

They didn't want to kill the baby just yet.


"Welcome to Fight Night" Marcel called out to all the vampires in the courtyard of his home-his compound-when fifteen of his Nightwalkers were killed and he saw only Klaus staring up at him with surprise anger in his eyes before Elijah appeared behind the sixteenth dead Nightwalker and his usually calm demeanor looking more like a demon wanting to escape the cage it's being locked behind.

His hands covered in blood and hearts all around him in a small macabre circle of blood and hearts. When the last heart fell, his growl was echoing from everywhere.

Marcel felt a small shiver of fear flutter down his back. He's never seen him this angry in his life.

"We've come here for the girls, give them to us." Klaus called up to him. "Elijah here will kill every single vampire in this courtyard until Elena and Hayley are-"

Marcel was down there in a flash. "She's not here and if she's not with you..." He was angry and horrified at the thought of someone he didn't know with his baby girl. Turning to the vampires he had left he shouted, "FIND MY DAUGHTER OR ELSE!"

Suddenly, Klaus felt like his head was being split in half until he heard a female voice begun to talk and he couldn't place the voice.

Help...help... Please help...

Closing his eyes, he tried focusing on Hayley's scent and saw a cabin in the Bayou.

Please...bring Uncle Elijah and Aunt Rebekah...daddy please...we're in the Bayou...a smelly cabin in the Bayou...

He looked at his brother with wonder in his eyes. Grabbing his brother, the two bolted out of there faster than the night they went to stop their mother and bore of a brother on mass genocide.

He just heard his daughter's voice.

"We need to get Bekah and go to the Bayou," he explained to him. "I heard my baby...she told me where to go." The wonder in his voice made Elijah smile slightly at him.

At hearing his daughter for the first time.


Once Elena woke up again, this time with the sun burning in her eyes, she looked around and paled.

They had taken her to the house-well, part of it-where she was held those years earlier. The room they had her and Hayley in was the living area from what she remembered and knew that the barrier spell that was placed on the room wouldn't be active until-

Apparently, whoever lived here now didn't bother cleaning up as she saw the necklace that Agnes and Bastianna had placed a spell on to suck out her magic. Her werewolf friend had thrown the necklace into the weak spot of the barrier spell that helped fan her anger and combined with the gasoline her daddy had poured over a third of the house, it went up in flames.

Managing to get over to it, she murmured the incantation of magic sucking onto it again and placed it into her pocket before the two idiots came back in and this time, they weren't alone.

Standing in between them was a dark skinned girl wearing layered necklaces-a witch by the way she carried herself like she was better than everyone she was with-and right behind them was a brooding werewolf as his stench filled the room.

"Learn what a shower is wolf," she coughed out dryly when the hybrid was near her and Hayley as Hayley finally woke up. "So little boy hybrid, doing what the little blonde thing wants to do? Are you even sure you're a real man? Abducting two girls who could probably kick your ass into next week." Her eyes narrowed and she sneered. "Are you that small that you have to show us how much of a real man you are?"

The blonde one flashed over to her and had backhanded her with human strength, though then she was holding back. Elena began coughing as she tasted her blood from where her teeth had nipped the inside of her cheek when she was hit. "God! What the hell have you been injecting into me? Some liquid sleep aid mixed with drugs?" She shouted as she felt the bile rise in her throat.

"Vervain and narcotics," the witch hissed before trying to fry her brain. Though it hurt, she wasn't going to give them the satisfaction of crying out in pain. She saw Hayley start whimpering as the witch must have used the spell on her as well. "Oh so sorry-" she screamed as fangs were sunk into her carotid by Rebekah, who was wearing a pair of khakis, heeled ankle boots and a lightweight coat with the Mikaelson family crest on the breast and back. Behind her were the brothers who were watching this with anger blazing in their eyes and the same outfits from the night before-Elijah in casual clothes and Klaus in a henley shirt and jeans.

Klaus managed to bite into his wrist, bringing the blood forth and not only did he shove it into the wolf's throat and snapping his neck but went over to Hayley and had her drink some to heal her.

Elijah just snapped the blonde's neck before calmly going over to Elena and carrying her in his arms like she was some sort of treasure that needed to be protected.

If she could have, she would have yelled at him for making her seem weak but she was as she felt horrible.

"This was where it happened," she whispered. "This is the exact place where they held me. It's changed since the fire but this is the place."

Elijah stiffened and Klaus looked at her. The shock that was written all over his face would have bee comical if it weren't for the circumstances of her words.

"What the bloody hell are you talking about?" Rebekah asked.

It seems that her brothers were hiding something from her that centered around the girl in Elijah's arms.

Whistling and waving her fingers, everyone but the Originals were asleep.

She didn't need everyone to know the story, after all.

"I was held here captive when I was five," she told the blonde. "I remember it like yesterday..."


(14 years earlier)

"Daddy! Daddy come loom at this!" Precious five year old Elena said gleefully and with giggles as she was surrounded by wildflowers in the park he had taken her as a butterfly flew and landed on her nose.

Her giggles were infectious as Marcel smiled at her in loving fatherly adoration. He had been around for more than two hundred years and he had never seem anything so radiant than his baby girl. He knew that he had made the right choice when he first held her in his arms.

He had thanked his lucky stars that Kieran couldn't find anyone missing her and he legally took her in-again, with Kieran's help.

To him, this little angel that he called his daughter was everything that he could ever want in a child.

Beautiful, bright, lively and made him think of Rebekah when she was a human.

So full of childlike innocence.

All the sudden, his brain felt like it was being boiled in hot oil over a stove before being fried by flamethrowers and placed in a blender on the highest speed it could go. He managed to open his eyes a bit but instead of seeing his baby girl, he saw nothing.

They took her were his last thoughts as the darkness of pain overwhelmed him.

Elena hadn't known that as sixteen year old Jane-Anne Deveraux placed a concealment spell that made her invisible to everyone.

"There's more butterflies in this area Elena!" The older girl said with a blinding smile, hiding her true motivations. Elena turned to tell daddy but she felt something prick her neck and she felt so sleepy.

Unknown to her, Jane-Anne picked her up and ran with her in her arms.

Elena managed to wake up in a room that smelled moldy and she felt sick in her tummy. Standing up, she walked over to the door of the room only to be electrocuted when she touched it.

She screamed as her hand was slightly burned and a witch was in front of her on the other side.

The girl was fearful but she hid her fear as best as she could.

She needed to be strong. The witch smiled at her and said, "you don't need to be afraid of me little one. My name is Bastianna Natale. I'm a witch, just like you." Here, she didn't look to happy at her. "I'll let you go and find a way for you to live with your sisters-the other witches of the French Quarter if only you will say that you believe that vampires are a disgrace to the natural order of the world."

Elena shook her head in the negative. "You are! What's daddy done to you?" She said as loudly as she could.

"Oh dear, if you would just say what I want you to say-which is the truth-you wouldn't be here but as it is..." She turned to see another witch there. "Agnes, you may do what you will until she sees reason..." Bastianna left while Agnes took Bastianna's spot and used a weird bladed shape object on a doll that looked like her.

Suddenly, she screamed as the object was placed across her arm, slowly cutting into the skin and blood pooled out from cuts the shape of crescent moons. She thought she was seeing things when they appeared on the doll.

"You and the doll are connected by blood and your magic," Agnes spat before Bastianna appeared again and placed a necklace on her which made her whimper in pain as she felt her magic swirling inside her like a vortex and being pulled into the necklace. "This necklace will steal your magic until you see reason." The two women left right then and she crumbled into a ball and cried herself to sleep.

Her dream was filled with light and she saw a man standing in front of her. Smiling he bent down to her height and whispered, "you will be safe again."

"I want to go home to daddy," she silently cried. "I want daddy."

"You will be with him soon enough little witch," she looked up to see a pretty lady with long blonde hair and really nice blue eyes. "Do you know who I am?"

Elena shook her head. She had never met these nice people in her life. She looked up at them, still with her puffy red cheeks.

"My names Freya and this is Ansel, he's a werewolf. Though there is another werewolf that can help you out of your dreamworld and his name is Jackson."

Elena nodded and she looked up at them with wonder as Freya dried her tears.

"You need to be strong little witch."

"Why do they want me Miss Freya?" Freya looked at her sadly.

"They want your gifts, little witch. They want to use it in a ritual where they would kill you willingly and absorb your powers to undo everything that has been done. They will throw the balance off if it happens." She smiled at the girl and placed a butterfly kiss on her nose. "What has happened and has been done cannot be undone by any force in the world."

When she woke up, she looked at them and asked, "may I have some water?"

"Do you believe that vampires are an abomination to the earth?" Jane-Anne asked.

"No." Her stance on the subject was unshakeable.

"Then no."

That's how it went for her, whenever she would ask for something they would ask her and each time her answer to the question 'Do you believe that vampires are an abomination to the earth?' would always be no, she would get nothing and a bit of her magic would bleed into her necklace until the final day that her wolf friend Jackson grabbed her soiled dress by the waist and had her escape the room, as it appeared that the witches had taken the barrier spell off the room for the night and didn't manage to put it back up. Walls painted red flashed by her and he pulled her towards the left side of the barrier spell in the living area.

Unblinking the necklace as fast as she could which was a third of normal human speed, she got it off and handed it over to him. Taking it in his mouth, he threw it I to the weak spot in the barrier spell that the spell exploded and all her magic as well as the magic from the barrier spell transferred over into her.

She felt angry and her magic caused sparks flying from the necklace which caused flames to appear around her. She managed to get out before she collapsed into her daddy's bloodstained arms and allowed herself to fall asleep in his arms.


She didn't want to see their looks of pity but she saw their emotions.

People could say many many things about the Hybrid Alpha but even he draws the line at harming children and the horror and disgust in his eyes wasn't concealed as he thought about getting even with the witches.

Rebekah looked at her in horror and as Elena whispered, "could you set me down?"

Elijah did and as she turned around, she lifted the bottom of her shirt up so they could see the scars that were still there.

"Oh God!" She turned back and saw Rebekah look a little green, if vampires could actually turn green.

It was Elijah's expression that freaked out his siblings but made her think he was hotter.

Though he knew some of it, hearing all of this made him lose most-if not all-of his cool demeanor.

His whole vampire visage came out and he wanted blood and to feast on those that dared harm her. The tick in his jaw and the blackening of his eyes had everyone looking everywhere but at the house.

The sounds of everyone waking up wasn't surprising but as the wolf who had died with Klaus' blood in his system bit into Hayley's vein, she screamed.

Klaus pulled the man off her and he acted the same way Tyler Lockwood did when he became a Hybrid.

"The baby can make hybrids," he breathed in awe. Before long, he ripped the new hybrid's heart out.

Without warning, the witch tried attacking but Rebekah knocked her out again and Elena threw her a necklace as she said, "this will drain her magic by only a fourth so she won't be able to do any spells without inflicting the pain onto herself!"

Rebekah placed it on her and smiled evilly as the witch struggled with her magic.

It was Elijah who nearly ended the male hybrid who took her and Hayley who was bravely glowering at the blonde baby vampire-Caroline, she surmised-when she suddenly screamed, "TYLER!"

Elena looked to see Elijah almost ripping the boy's-Tyler's-heart out but stopped when Elena placed her hand on his bulging bicep.

Tyler's actual target was Elena for what she said about him being small and inept but Elijah showed him just how wrong targeting Elena was.

"Don't kill him as it'll be easy," she murmured. "Let him live and suffer as what he is."

Elijah nodded and looked at his arm where she saw a Hybrid bite. She placed a hand on it and began chanting softly under her breath.

"It should weaken its effect on you for a while." She smiled up at him. "It won't kill you but it does make you weaker and go through everything a normal nonspecial vampire goes through."

He gave a weak chuckle when Elena saw that the three who attacked them were gone.

"I want to take a walk around here and see what can be done to fix this up for everyone here." Klaus told Rebekah warmly. Turning to Elena, he gave her a barely seen smile. "I plan on tearing it down and building a better place for Hayley and our daughter."

Hayley, who heard what he said, gave him a blinding smile that he loved seeing on her face as it made her look more beautiful than ever before.

Goodbye Caroline Forbes, he thought with a sad smile the second he let her go and as as he turned to Elena who watched him carefully and cautiously. Though her smile was light, she was still uncomfortable around him to show her more vulnerable side.

It made him feel like his heart broke. She had lost the one thing that she should have retained before she learned how the world really works. She should have had a childhood that wasn't filled with such horrors.

Now, now he knew why Marcel was so devoutly protective of not just Elena, but of Davina as well. Both girls were subjected to horrors because of the French Quarter witch coven.

Watching Rebekah and Elena leave with Elijah, he turned around the second they vanished through the trees and he walked Hayley back inside the little cabin.

The servants of nature got a war, but he knew that all of them who had participated in harming these innocent lives will never last if he and his family have anything to say about it.

You never ever piss off or even harm a member of the Mikaelson Family as you will never get away with it.


The reasons I chose both Freya and Ansel simple:

Ansel, I'm assuming, had seen Marcel and Elena when he was watching over any of his son's vampire children and when he saw what was happening with Elena, he wanted to help her and Marcel

...though Ansel had mentioned that he had been watching over him for a thousand years, I'm just going to say that he's watched over Marcel as well as Klaus has considered Marcel his son

For Freya, she was with Dahlia for so long that when she saw what was happening with Elena, she wanted to protect her from any harm that might be placed on her so she was helping her as best as she could considering that she was in her weird magic sleep thing.
Though, at one point, I nearly put Esther down but I had to change it as who would believe that Esther would be that nice?

Another thing, the witch that they were using wasn't Bonnie-she was just another witch they found on the way to New Orleans.

I hope you all loved this chapter!
