Okay, I know that you guys are looking for more Klave, but, sadly, that's not going to be in this chapter.

I really hope you like it though so, enjoy!

Mave paced the living room back and forth, biting her lip as she racked her brain. She was trying desperately to find out where her daughter was but it felt like everything that she thought of was searched already. She didn't have any clue as to where the six year old could be.

"What if she left the state?" Rebekah asked, watching Mave with concerned eyes. The mother was running herself raw.

"Impossible," Klaus said, on his feet as well but standing still unlike Mave who had been avoiding his gaze for a long time now. "Somebody would've caught sight of her before she could leave the state."

All of the Mikaelsson siblings, minus Hayley and Elijah, who were at Jackson's funeral, were sitting on the living room sofas. Elijah only went because Hayley allowed him to go. Everyone else, seeing as their family was why Jackson was dead, was forbidden to go. Freya was holding a quiet Hope while Rebekah held the little girl's hand. Finn and Marcel were out and looking for anymore clues as to where Lucien and Aurora were after their sighting in the bayou.

Today was the last day that Dahlia could get to Madelina with. Dahlia's magic will only begin to deteriorate after today, and even then it's going to take a lot of muscle to take her down.

Suddenly, Mave stopped pacing and biting her lip, looking as if she just had a very big realization. Everyone noticed at once.

"What is it?" Freya asked, still holding Hope.

Mave looked to the others as if she had just realized that they were still there. She looked to Klaus for the first time that day. "The bayou," she said quietly, as if afraid that she'll wake someone up. "Madelina is part werewolf so what if she's in the bayou? It would make sense if Dahlia is unable to locate her. You can't locate someone by their magic if they're technically no longer a witch."

Klaus turned to Mave, understanding exactly what she meant. "Are you saying that Madelina could be in wolf form?"

She shrugged. "Technically yes," she said. "I know that transforming into one is agony, but what if it's different for a tribrid? What if she can make it simple with her magic? I mean, nobody has ever heard of a tribrid before right? So wouldn't it make sense if some things were different for her?"

"That actually makes sense," Rebekah said, turning to her brother. "But Nik, how will we get into the bayou with practically every wolf hating us for somewhat causing Jackson's death?"

Klaus just shrugged, a smirk that Mave remembered distinctly from their past coming onto his face. "It will not matter sister, because Hayley is still leader of this pack, and they will not defy her orders."

Everyone except for Rebekah readied themselves to check the bayou. Rebekah had to stay back and watch over Hope, and usually Freya would stay back, but since this involves Madelina, they'll need the oldest sister.

Rebekah watched in worry as the other Mikaelsson siblings left to find Madelina. She hoped that they would be able to reason with the little girl.

Meanwhile, Hayley was standing with her pack and reading the send off tradition for Jackson's body. She was doing all she could to keep from crying and it meant a lot that Elijah could be with her to also keep her grounded. When she had gotten to the camp and seen the body, she had finally come to terms with Jackson's death, and it had been hard to do so.

One of the wolves came up to Hayley to ask about some werewolf tradition and Elijah stayed a respectful distance away from the man. He knew that the wolves were all pretty angry at the Mikaelsons for the death of their loved ones.

It was when someone came up to Hayley urgently that Elijah extended his hearing to the conversation, worried after looking at the boy's nervous face.

"Dean!" Hayley exclaimed, looking at the young teen that looked rugged. "What's wrong?"

Dean had to catch his breath for a few moments before he was able to tell their leader. "Caught smell...of vampires," he panted, which made Elijah's ears perk up. He flashed to Hayley's side, not even making her flinch.

"I'll take care of it," he said, not wanting Hayley to have to deal with disrespectful vampires on her day of grieving.

Hayley nodded and smiled slightly at him, glad that he would do this for her when she felt that she could collapse and start crying all over again. She didn't think that she'd be able to get back up again if that happened.

When Elijah saw her nod, he flashed away, searching for the vampires that were stupid enough to come into the bayou so close to the full moon.

When Elijah finally did catch smell of the vampires, he sighed in exasperation before flashing to them, only to find his family there instead.

"Ah, Elijah!" Klaus said to him. "Glad you've decided to join the party."

"What are you doing here Niklaus?" Elijah asked calmly, only letting a hint of his frustration leak into his voice. "You know how the wolves are currently feeling about our family."

Mave stepped forward before Klaus could answer. "We think that Madelina might be in the bayou," she explained quickly.

Elijah looked at the three of them closely, cocking his head to the side. "What do you mean she's in the bayou?"

"We think that Madelina might be in wolf form," Freya explained, looking at Elijah's face closely.

Immediately, Elijah remembered the small, white wolf he had seen yesterday by Jackson's body. If what his siblings and Mave were saying was true, then it could be possible that that wolf had been Madelina and that she could still be out here.

"What is it Elijah?" Mave asked, seeing as Elijah's face drastically changed into one of realization.

Elijah looked back at them as if he had just remembered that they were still there. "I think I've seen her," he said finally.

"Madelina?" Freya asked urgently. "When- where?"

"Yesterday," he said, his voice still calm. "When I had found Jackson's body there had been a small wolf sitting beside him. I thought that it was just a normal wolf since it wasn't a full moon at the time, but hybrids can turn willingly."

"That could be Madelina!" Mave said excitedly.

Klaus looked at his brother. "What did this wolf look like?"

"Completely white and blue eyes," Elijah answered immediately, remembering the wolf in perfect detail. "She is also probably the smallest wolf I have ever seen."

The three exchanged glances and nodded, all agreeing that Madelina was probably here in the bayou somewhere, and close if she was sitting by Jackson's body last night.

"But hurry Niklaus," Elijah said to him urgently. "The wolves know that you're here, and they don't like it."

Klaus nodded and grabbed onto both Mave's and Freya's arms before flashing farther into the trees, searching for a very familiar scent. Elijah watched them go before returning to Hayley and informing her that he hadn't found any kind of recent scent, meaning that the wolf probably picked up on an older one. Of course, this wasn't true, but Elijah didn't want Hayley to worry.

Klaus stopped and released the two witches's arms. They slightly stumbled, but otherwise, remained standing and began to look around. Klaus used his heightened senses to search out for his daughter's scent or to hear what could be a wolf's paws on the ground.

He didn't find anything.

Klaus cursed under his breath but he would not give up that easily. He, Freya, and Mave walked through the trees, looking for a wolf matching Elijah's descriptions. After a few moments, Mave spoke up, breaking the awkward silence.

"So," she said. "Can anyone explain to me who this Jackson guy is?"

"Hayley's husband," Freya answered her, and Klaus saw as Mave's face instantly fell. He knew exactly what she was thinking. After gaining this new information, Mave felt terrible for Jackson's death and interrupting Hayley's grieving last night when she showed up back from the dead. Klaus wanted to say something, but he knew that he'd probably only make it worse.

"Oh," Mave said with a slightly pitying voice. The air around them wasn't as awkward as it began with, but Mave's lack of a real response made it still thick with the feeling.

Suddenly, Klaus heard a twig from far away snap. He stilled Freya and Mave when he held out his hand and listened closer, trying to figure out if it was his daughter who made the sound.

After a few tense moments, Klaus heard the sound once again, not that far away from where they were now.

He turned to the others and said somewhat quietly, "Mave, I think that we should maybe wait to reveal that you're still alive to Madelina."

Mave's face turned shocked. "But-" she started before Klaus interrupted her, staring into her blue eyes to try to make her understand his reasoning.

"I'm not saying that you won't see her today, love," he told her. "I just think that it would be best for her to be out of wolf form before she sees you."

Mave looked into Klaus's eyes and sighed. She nodded and agreed to slightly be behind the other two when they reach Madelina, if it's really her up ahead.

Klaus looked at Freya who nodded. They walked slowly, not making a sound and even Klaus was impressed by Freya's ability to move so silently even though she's only a witch.

A few more feet up ahead, Klaus saw a small break in the trees, not exactly a clearing but close. He narrowed his eyes when he saw a white wolf matching Elijah's description tearing into what looked like a steak. Klaus knew from his sense of smell that the meat wasn't human and that relieved him.

Klaus and Freya entered the clearing, and that's when the wolf caught their smell. It's ears perked up before whirling around on all fours and growling at the two Mikaelsons. Now, with the wolf facing them, Klaus saw that it's eyes were bright blue, the same shade as Madelina's, so he knew that they had found her.

Madelina continued to growl at them and Klaus rolled his eyes. "Come on love," he said. "We don't have all day, so I suggest that you turn back into a human and we can talk properly."

Madelina growled again but Klaus looked into her eyes, his own turning orange and the air of an Alpha surrounding him. Madelina only continued to growl for a few moments before she whimpered and let her head fall, giving into the Alpha's orders. Klaus smirked as his eyes returned to normal.

Madelina walked to a large and purple blanket that was laid out next to her clothing. She went underneath it with Klaus's eyes glued to her form, and soon after she disappeared in the blanket, Klaus could hear the multiple cracks and the sound of breaking bones. He saw Freya wince out of the corner of his eyes and was silently glad that he told Mave to wait a little behind. When the cracking had stopped without a sound from Madelina, Klaus saw a human and dirt covered hand reach out and grab a black dress that was almost in pieces. He recognized the article of clothing as something Rebekah had given the 6 year old for her birthday.

After another tense moment, Klaus saw as the blanket rose and then was uncovered to reveal none other than Madelina.

She was a mess.

Almost every part of her body was covered in dirt, and that included her hair which was in multiple tangles. The only colored thing on her body with the black dress and almost brown hair was her bright blue eyes that looked even brighter with her surroundings. She was barefoot, but it didn't look like she minded, and she was staring straight at Klaus. He could tell by the barely visible pain in her eyes that she hadn't turned off her emotions, which relieved Klaus immensely. At least she had listened to them about that.

When Klaus was done analyzing his daughter, he saw the six year old cross her arms over her chest. She was glaring at Klaus.

"What do you want?" She asked, almost a growl, which Klaus found slightly interesting. It seemed that Madelina had been in her wolf form for a week, and it seemed to change her personality when she wasn't, making her seem animalistic.

"What do you think sweetheart?" Klaus asked sarcastically before his face changed into a serious expression. "We want you back home."

Madelina scoffed and shook her head. "New Orleans is not home," she said. "Not to me. The only home I had was in Colorado with Mommy. That's it. And I'm not going back to that city," she continued, speaking of New Orleans.

"Why not?" Freya asked calmly, honestly wanting to hear the answer.

Madelina looked at her with wide eyes. "Have you not been listening?" She asked. "That city is bad and painful and I don't want anymore pain right now."

Klaus looked at his daughter's face for any kind of change that might take place for what he would say next. "Because of Mave?"

Madelina's eyes flickered to Klaus and instantly, her face fell. She looked over and down from Klaus's face, staring at the grass by his feet. In a broken voice, she said, "Because of everything." In that moment, Klaus finally understood what Mave was speaking of last night. Madelina was only a child and she was confused and scared at what is happening to her. She doesn't understand, and she doesn't trust the Mikaelsons anymore, so that's why she ran. She believed that if she couldn't trust them, that she could only trust herself, so she left to try to figure things out on her own, but only succeeding in making things worse and more confusing for her.

Madelina continued, cutting through Klaus's thoughts. She took a shaky breath, "Ever since the night when Mommy died, when Dahlia came...something changed. Something changed and suddenly, I...I couldn't control my magic, or my anger, or my bloodlust..." Madelina's face broke Klaus and Freya's hearts. She looked like she couldn't believe that what she was saying was true. "I couldn't control anything, and Mommy wasn't there to help and..." It was at this moment that the tears pooling in the young girl's eyes fell, making clean streaks down her dirt covered face. "And I killed people," she finished, letting out a sob and holding her arms around her as if she feared she would fall apart, which wasn't that far from the truth. She rolled her eyes, catching the adults' attention. "But that's not even the worst part," she said, a laugh coming out but quickly turning into another sob.

Freya stepped forward but knew not to get too close or else they'd lose all the process that they were getting. "What was the worst part Madelina?" She asked quietly, knowing that the little girl could hear her question.

Madelina took another shaky breath before continuing. "The worst part," she said and met the eyes of her father, the ones that were looking at her in obvious concern. "The worst part was that I liked it," she finished with a distressed look on her face. "I reveled in killing someone and...and I don't know why, because I didn't used to be like this. I used to be able to control my magic before my hybrid side came," she said, telling the adults that she understood what had happened on the night Dahlia had killed Mave. "But now...now I don't even know who I am anymore..."

Klaus stepped forward and caught his daughter's eyes once again. He smiled reassuringly and said, "Well that's easy, love. You're Madelina Mikaelson. You like to paint and sing. You love animals and have a husky you named Henrik. You are a witch, a werewolf, and a vampire. You are a tribrid, and we, your family, can help you control what comes with it," he told her convincingly. "You just have to let us help you."

Madelina opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came out. She closed it and looked away before looking at the two adults again, this time getting the words out. "But I don't trust you anymore," she said quietly. "Not after what you did..."

The siblings didn't know what to say to that but it looks like they didn't have to for Madelina continued. She cried out another sob and shook her head. "I just want my Mommy," she said trough her tears. "I just want her to tell me what to do because..." She took a breath between her sobs. "Because I don't know what to do anymore."

Klaus thought that this would probably be the right moment to bring Mave in and, when he exchanged glances with Freya and saw that she agreed, he took action.

"Hey," he said, making Madelina quiet her cries so that she could hear him. "It's okay, Madelina. And do you want to know how I know it's okay?" After a moment, Madelina nodded and Klaus smiled. "Because your mother isn't dead, love."

Madelina looked at him with hopeful yet disbelieving eyes and that was the moment that Mave walked through the trees, revealing herself.

The 6 year old took a step back when she looked at her mother who was miraculously back from the dead. Madelina didn't believe that what she was seeing was real. It couldn't be. But she saw her mother in a white dress and sandals, her brown hair brushed and flowing down her back in light waves. Her mother was smiling at her, trying to get her to believe that it was actually her.

"Mommy?" She whispered with eyes as big as the moon. She half expected her mother not to respond, meaning that it was all just a dream, but she did.

"It's me Madelina," she said, remembering every word that Madelina had just told Klaus and Freya. Yes she had eavesdropped on what her daughter would say, and she was happy that she had predicted what Madelina was feeling yesterday and told Klaus. Now he knew what his daughter had been going through these past few days.

Madelina shook her head, her tangled and dirty hair swaying back and forth. "H-How?" she asked and her mother answered her.

"Your father brought me back," she said.

Madelina looked at her father with conflicting feelings. She still didn't trust him because he wanted to give her away, but yet, he had brought back her mother, so there has to be something that is good in him.

She looked back to her mother and that's when she really broke down. Tears fell down her cheeks and she shook her head again, crying out, "I'm so sorry Mommy." Mave's eyes softened when she remembered that Madelina had thought that she would no longer want her own daughter because of the things that she had done. "I don't know what's happening and-and," she said and Mave shook her head as she bent down and gathered her daughter into her arms. Madelina was still so shocked that her mother was back that it took a moment for her to return the hug.

"Oh, baby," Mave said, rubbing Madelina's back soothingly. "It's okay. I know you didn't mean to, but killing is apart of becoming a vampire and a werewolf." She pulled back to look into her daughter's eyes. She brushed away the hair covering Madelina's eyes and held her face affectionately. "I know that you're scared of who you are now, and that you don't understand, but you have to know that it's okay. It's okay to like killing. It's okay to not be able to control your magic. It's okay to be angry. You're a tribrid now Madelina, and a lot of things are going to be different from your old life. But you have it know that all of it is okay, and we can help you get through all of it," she said, gesturing back to the siblings before looking back into Madelina's eyes that had stopped crying. "You just have to let us." She repeated Klaus's words from earlier.

Madelina looked up at her mother, still getting used to the fact that she was actually here. But with the mother's words, Madelina felt more relieved then she had since her mother died. She was so happy that her Mommy didn't think that she was a monster and that she said everything was normal and okay, because that's what Madelina really needed to hear these past few days.

But before Madelina could respond, she whipped her head to the side and to the trees, eyes glowing bright orange and two sets of fangs coming in. The others instantly tensed and Madelina walked away from her mother's embrace, eyes flickering over the trees.

Klaus stepped forward and Mave asked calmly, "What is it Madelina?"

Madelina didn't let her hyrbid face fall as she looked around the trees. "Someone's here," she practically growled out, not taking her eyes away to look at how the others would react.

Freya and Mave tensed, Mave standing up from the ground and Klaus extending his hearing out to the surrounding areas. Madelina was still growling defensively as they analyzed the trees, readying themselves for anything that would come their way.

Suddenly, Madelina ducked down to crouch on all fours and the other three saw that in the tree behind her was a wooden arrow right where her heart would have been.

But before the others could look around again, another arrow flew through the trees and landed on its designated target: Klaus.

Madelina watched as her father growled in pain before pulling out the arrow from his shoulder, only to have another one land in his kneecap, making him fall to his knees. Mave and Freya tried to move forward and help him but they were suddenly clutching at their heads at the same time that they heard multiple people chanting. Madelina looked around to see the witches of New Orleans using Dahlia's power in order to hurt her family.

The little girl stepped forward to help her family but her mother shook her head. Madelina's eyebrows furrowed but Mave simply said a single word.

"Run."

Madelina widened her eyes and turned to follow her mother's orders when she was suddenly met with eyes as black as the night and a wicked smile. Madelina recoiled from Dahlia but felt a sudden coldness around her wrists. She looked down to see that Dahlia had placed shackles on her wrists that were connected by a chain.

Klaus watched as Dahlia snapped the shackles onto his daughter's wrists. He growled in not seeing it earlier. Dahlia didn't just come to the compound yesterday to warn them about obtaining Madelina, but she also came to steal the dark object that would keep Madelina from using her magic against the older witch.

Madelina looked at Dahlia in fear and tried to back away, but Dahlia had an iron grip on the chains connecting the girl's wrists. Madelina couldn't go anywhere, and for some strange reason, her magic would not come forth. She couldn't defend herself against Dahlia; she was vulnerable to whatever the older witch wanted to do.

Dahlia's wicked smile never strayed from her face. "Hello Madelina."

There's the next chapter everyone! And hopefully you don't kill me for leaving it on a cliffhanger.

Please review and thanks for reading!
