The skies began to rain upon the bodies of the wolf clan at the Bayou as Hayley, Klaus and Elijah walked around to assess the damage and look for any fortune souls that had been spared. It was as they had suspected - every single one of them was dead, including Jackson, Hayley's husband of only a few months. Hayley spotted him and turned away at the sight. She couldn't begin to grieve for her family when Hope was still missing. There was a chance that her baby was still alive and she knew she must put this unspeakable tragedy to the back of her mind until her daughter was safe, in her arms. The eerie silence was broken by the harsh sound of Elijah's phone. He looked at the caller ID and saw that a call was coming in from Klaus' mobile. He looked at Klaus and Klaus took the phone from him.

"Who is this?" Klaus knew exactly who it would be, but played along.

"You appear to have left your phone at home, boy. I assume by now you have witnessed our little scene at your wolf-whore's camp?"

"Where is my daughter?"

Blatantly ignoring Klaus' question, Michael continued, "I do take great pleasure in killing beasts."

"WHERE IS MY DAUGHTER?" Klaus was done playing games and had no time for Michael's usual seething remarks. Michael laughed down the other end of the phone. He was enjoying this immensely.

"Now, now. Play nicely, Niklaus. Your spawn is alive."

"If you have touched a hair on her head I will hunt you down and kill you." Klaus spoke slowly, emphasising every word. "A slow, torturous death."

Michael sniggered, he was achieving the reaction he wanted from Klaus. Angry Klaus was a lot more vulnerable. He acted based on his emotions instead of using his head. That was one of the reasons he was most disappointed in Klaus, as a child - He was not a great fighter.

"I can assure you that she is being taken care of. You can come and get her, but if you want to get to her, you'll have to go through me." Michael hung up, leaving Klaus, Elijah and Hayley's blood boiling.

"They're at the compound, we must go there now and I'll kill that Son of a Bitch with my bare hands!" Hayley growled, shaking with anger.

"If we are to defeat him, we must have a plan! You two need to calm down!" Elijah asserted.

"OUR CHILD IS IN THE HANDS OF A MANIAC WHO WANTS TO KILL ME AND EVERYONE I CARE ABOUT! DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN!" Klaus exploded in a fit of rage. Elijah grabbed Klaus and hugged him fiercely. In his anger, Klaus would act irrationally without thought. He sometimes forgot who the enemy was and felt like the world was against him. Elijah needed him to focus and listen to what he had to say, so held him until he felt brother relax in his arms. Klaus breathed deeply, in and out, and Elijah released his hold on him.

"Niklaus, we can't storm in there without a plan. We need to get in touch with Kol, Davina and Marcel and decide what we are going to do next."

"They have our baby, Elijah. We haven't got time to go to Marcel's, sit around the table and plan anything. Her life is in danger and the longer they have her, the more likely it is that they'll hurt her. We need to go there, now!" Hayley pleaded.

"Elijah is right, we can't walk in there and expect to get her back easily. Look around you at the destruction the pair of them have caused. As a team, they have the upper hand. We need to get Kol and Davina involved. Michael has a witch in Finn but we have two." Klaus looked at Hayley, "I promise you this: We will get our daughter back and rest assured Michael and Finn will not survive the night."

Marcel looked up when he heard footsteps come down the stairs in his apartment. He saw Klaus, followed by Hayley and Elijah. They all bore the same distraught expression as they gathered in the middle of the room. Elijah took control of the situation and explained to Marcel, Cami, Kol and Davina exactly what had happened at the Bayou. He painted a picture of destruction and chaos and confirmed everyone's worst fears; that Hope had been abducted by Michael and Finn.

"We need to formulate a plan of attack if we are to defeat these two. Michael is using Finn's magic as a defence mechanism. We need to counteract that, using you two…" Elijah pointed at Davina and Kol, "…to effectively form a barrier against Finn's magic. If you can keep him under control it means that we can attack Michael. Hayley will remain with the witches but will seize any opportunity she can to get Hope back."

Marcel nodded. "I'll help kill the Son of a Bitch."

Kol stood up and faced Elijah. "I have an idea. You only need one of us to stop Finn's magic. Davina and I are both capable and powerful enough to single-handedly form a barrier to block Finn. What if one of us performs a cloaking spell on Cami?" Everyone looked at Kol, confused about where he was going with this. Kol announced his master plan, bluntly, "Cami could stake Michael."

"What!?" Klaus shook his head, "Are you mad? I'm not putting her life in danger. She needs to stay out of this."

Camille could not believe she was actually being included. When she came round from the shock, she spoke up, "Look, I can do this. I think it's a great idea. Marcel has been training me for months so I know where a vampire's weak spot is. We might as well put that training to good use."

Marcel chimed in, "She's right, she can fight, Klaus, and under a cloaking spell, Michael wouldn't see her coming."

"…he wouldn't expect her either." Elijah mused.

Klaus took a step toward Cami. The worry was evident on his face. "I can't stop you, Camille."

"I don't want you to. The bastard tried to kill me too." Klaus and Camille looked at each other for a beat, remembering the ordeal they had been through not so long ago, when Michael abducted Camille and both Klaus and Camille ended up saving each other that day. "This is payback." Camille declared to Klaus, willing him to agree to let her fight with them. Kol interrupted the moment between the human and the original vampire by clearing his throat.

"In that case, I have something of use." Kol proclaimed, before going off in search of his bag, returning with the stake he had made with Davina. The one meant for Klaus. He handed it to Cami and Klaus immediately registered the gesture, knowing that his brother was effectively giving up the one weapon he had that could be used against him. Klaus was moved by this but elected to keep his feelings to himself as there was too much going on for a warm heart to heart with Kol. He vowed to make it up to him once this was all over.

"So if I stab him with this, will it kill him?" Cami asked

"No, but it'll put him to sleep." Kol replied before turning to look at Elijah and Klaus. "I'll take on my brother then. I'll stop Finn from being able to use magic and Davina can put Cami under a cloaking spell."

"Excellent. As I mentioned before, I have another weapon that I'm willing to use if worst comes to worst." Everyone looked at Klaus, intrigued by this 'ace' he had previously claimed to have up his sleeve.

"What's that then?" Kol probed.

Klaus smirked at Kol,

"Our mother…"
