"What does that make me?" She asked. "A suspect?" Elijah just looked at her. "I'm not nearly strong enough to take down Klaus – and even if I was, why would I do that?" She asked.
"I'm not saying that you are a suspect." Elijah said. "But you can help me find him."
"She's not going anywhere." Damon hissed. "And I thought you were the good brother."
"Alice. I assure you, I have no intention to harm you or your family." Elijah said and put a hand on Alice's shoulder. "There's only me and my brother now. I will not able to find him by myself."
"What about Rebekah?" Damon asked.
"My sister isn't currently at New Orleans." He said and looked at Damon.
"You're one of the rare vampires my brother trusts - and Niklaus doesn't trust many people." He said. Alice sighed and walked to Damon.
"Uncompell him." She told Elijah. He walked to Damon and did as she asked.
You can move now. He said vamp-speeded to Alice. "You can say goodbye." He said and walked outside. Damon was quiet.
"I'll come back." She said. "Damon?" She sighed shakily and walked to the door.
"Wait." He said. Alice stopped and looked at her brother, possibly for the last time. "Take care of yourself." Alice ran to her brother and hugged him.
"If I don't come back-" She started.
"You will." He said. "You're a strong one - like me, like our mother." He said.
"I love you, brother." She whispered and walked outside. Elijah was waiting for her in the front of the house.
"Are you ready?" He asked. Alice nodded, blinking away her tears.
Elijah walked to her and put his hand on her shoulder. They started walking.
...
By night, they arrived at New Orleans. There were a lot of people on the streets, as always.
"Don't do anything suspicious." Elijah warned. "There are witches all over the place."
Alice was more scared now, then in her entire life. She was taken from her family by a desperate man who only wanted to find his brother – who was the man who took her life 153 years ago. Although, Elijah promised to protect her, and she heard from Damon that he always held his word. That helped her relax a bit.
About half an hour since they arrived to the city, they came to an old mansion. Alice looked at the house in awe. When they entered, the first thing she noticed was, that the house was completely empty, eccept for a girl standing on the balcony on the second floor. She was at least eight months pregnant.
"You're back." She said. The girl had brown hair and she was pretty. She walked down the stairs and looked at Alice.
"I'm Hayley." She smiled and offered her hand to Alice.
"Alice." She smiled and shook Hayley's hand.
"Ah, so you're here to find Klaus. I never though someone would want to do that volunteraly" She said, then turned to Elijah. "Elijah, did you make this poor girl walk from Mystic Falls to New Orleans?" She asked.
"I'm afraid that there was no time." He said and smiled. That was the first time Alice saw him smile today.
"Come with me, Alice." Hayley said and walked to a room. Alice followed her, but looked back at Elijah. He understood and walked after them. They arrived at a room with tons of maps and books. There was a large map on the table – the map of New Orleans.
"What do you want me to do?" Alice asked.
"We need you to do a locator spell." Elijah said after he closed the door.
"What?"
"Don't play dumb with me, girl. I know your secret." Elijah said and stood in front of the terrified girl. "You are a vamp-witch."
