This is a long one! I hope you guys enjoy it, and please leave a review. It's how I find the inclination to keep going with any of my stories.

The light streaming through the window wasn't wat woke Ra that morning, nor was it the low snoring of Kol behind her, but instead the serenity was broken by the original hybrid bursting through the door. 'Ah Kol, Ra. I see you're settling into your new accommodations!'

Ra raised her head slowly, glowering at him as she spoke, 'Niklaus I have not gotten up this early since I had to pretend I raised the sun for the Egyptians. I do not intend to do so ever again.' Klaus merely laughed as Kol too raised his head to glare at his brother.

'I brought you something in honour of your return to the fold. I believe it's your favourite, or at least it used to b. La Fille Verte.' Klaus ignored her, speaking to his brother, as she stood and walked stark naked to the closet, grabbing a button down shirt that must belong to one of the brothers and grabbing her trousers off the floor as she changed in front of bother of them.

Kol reached up to grab the bottle, 'Ding dong… the witch is dead! Or undead, whichever. Cheers!' He grinned at his brother, that is, until the bottle shattered in his hand and Finn stepped into the room.

'Where is She?!'

Kol stood in his boxers and moved beside his brother as Klaus spoke. 'Finn! Please, join us.' Klaus said sarcastically glancing between his brothers and Ra took the scene in, 'My, my, you look peaky. Doesn't he look peaky?' He smirked at Kol.

'He does look peaky.' The young Mikaelson answered.

'You feeling alright?' Klaus asked stepping towards the witch.

'Don't make me ask again.' Finn said, unamused.

'Well I assume you're referring to our mother. Fear not, she's tucked away somewhere perfectly safe. You'll never find her.'

'You think you've won, let's see how long that arrogance lasts, brother.' Finn said, spreading his arms wide and exiting the room. All three looked at each other, slightly worried until Ra broke the silence.

'Well that was slightly ominous.' Even from this room they could hear as Finn spoke about how a truce wouldn't last. 'Truce? Am I the only one who is a bit behind?'

'The werewolves and vampires of New Orleans… Oh shit.' Kol muttered as they felt a spell being cast. Klaus hurried to the balcony, testing the newly appeared barrier and yanking his hand back as it burned him.

'Did he really just trap us all in here?' Ra asked. Klaus turned, eyes narrowed at the two witches.

'He certainly did. Which means we have a witch problem. You're a witch. Fix it.' He glared at them, going to storm out of the room only to be stopped by Kol.

'And what the bloody hell do you want me to do about it?'

'Well considering the crow, I think you'll be more motivated to find a solution. After all, both I and your beau can easily out-wait our brother's antics. You, on the other hand, might find yourself looking rather appetizing to some of our fellow prisoners.' Kol froze at his brothers words, remembering he was a human witch in this situation. He looked at Ra, remembering the lack of attraction of her blood to any normal vampire, however he had no clue about how blood crazed vampires may react.

'Fine. I'm going to need some help.'

Ra watched as Davina walked into the compound, reaching out and nearly touching the barrier before Kol stopped her, 'Careful! It's nasty.' They shared a smile before Ra walked forward and spoke in an annoyed voice.

'You two ready?' Davina looked at her.

'Why can't you do this yourself?' She asked, narrowing her eyes slightly as she became more suspicious.

'I have other things to do.' Ra walked away leaving the two of them to get on with their attempt. As they began to chant the crowd of vampires and werewolves watched curiously, many over them flinched as they were thrown backwards, away from the barrier. Klaus walked forward, looking at his brother, his impatience clear.

'I assume that means we're all free to go?'

'No. The spell's locking them out. Finn is likely channelling a dark object.' Ra spoke up, watching from the interior balcony before turning and moving further into the house. Klaus watched and followed as she moved into the ballroom grabbing candles from a cupboard and placing them in a large circle.

'What are you up to Ra?' She looked up as Klaus quickly before resuming her preparations.

'You need to tell Finn where to find your mother.' She said grabbing a bowl and placing it in the centre of the circle.

'And why would I do that?'

'To break the spell they will need things from the Lycee, which to too close to Finn to be comfortable, that and I need to know where he will be.'

'And why is that love?' Klaus asked, folding his arms as he walked towards her.

'Because I can get a lock on your mother, and when he visits her I can get a lock on him. If I can do that then I will know where he is at all times and if I need I'll be able to see what he is doing.' She looked at him, a bitter smile on her lips, 'don't worry Nik, this is all for your benefit as usual.'

He nodded, accepting her words and going to make the call.

Ra had been sat in the circle after lighting the candles for ten minutes when the doors flew over and Kol, Klaus and Marcel walk in. 'This is going to be let likely to work if I am distracted Niklaus.' Ra said, looking over at the three of them and noticing their worried expressions, 'What's happened?'

'Finn is exacerbating all the vampires' bloodlust.' Kol explained.

'Oh course he is.' Ra sighed and stood, looking at all of them, 'Well I can't help with that, the scrying spell I'm working on creates a boundary around the candles, no magic is going in or out of them. What's the plan for the boundary Kol?'

'Vincent's boundary is too strong. But, what Davina and I can do is cast a destruction spell. It would temporarily neutralize all magical objects in the compound, including the compound itself. If it works? Well, then it will give us sixty seconds to escape whilst the boundary is shut down.'

' Alright, alright, that sounds good to me. ' Marcel agreed.

'If the spell works, it will suppress all magical objects in the vicinity. That means your rings.' Klaus said.

'And if we go outside in the sun without our rings, we're dead.' Marcel groaned in frustration.

'Unless you wait for nightfall.'

Marcel looked out at the courtyard and shook his head, 'They're all so new. They're not going to be able to fight the hunger. We can't wait until nightfall. We're going to have a bloodbath on our hands before we even get close.'

'And the bloodlust spell isn't likely to be bound to an object here. You'd be letting the vampires out on the city. It'll be a massacre if they get too hungry.' Ra added before turning and sitting on the floor, 'Now go plan somewhere else he'll be there soon.' Ra refocused as the three left gaining insight into Esther's eyes. She could feel the hunger that the woman was suffering but pushed it to the side as Finn entered. Ra focused on pulling out of Esther's body and instead moving to Finn, effectively tagging him with her magic as she watched the scene unfold.

'Mother? I thought for sure I'd find you dead! I've come to save you!' he hurried towards her and she him.

'I knew you would, my sweet child.' Esther moved to reach out to him, accidentally exposing her vampiric face at the scent of the blood in his veins.

'No.' He murmured horrified.

'Finn, please! I fought it as long as I could.' His mother begged for forgiveness as he turned from her. 'Look at me. I am still your mother! I'm sorry, I was just so hungry.'

Finn spoke the feeling of betrayal clear in his voice, 'You're a hypocrite. You speak of purification, of cleansing souls of our family, and yet you caved to temptation instead of standing up for your principles!' As Esther looked away from her son in shame Finn continued to glare at her, 'It was your morality, your conviction that hardened me. That's why I stood by you, that's why I fought for you. I would have done anything for you. My mother, who gave me life…' He paused readying himself for the act, 'But I know she would want me to finish what she started.' He grabbed her by the throat before carving the sacrificial images into her forehead to harness her power as she screamed.

Ra's eyes fluttered open as the candles extinguished and she felt a huge weight settle as she murmured 'No.'
