Elena groans as she finally feels her body return back to the land of the conscious however as she attempts to turn over she groans as throbbing pain fills her head, groaning she rolls onto her side ignoring the cold hard floor as she grasps her head "Ow." She moans before it quickly all comes back to her, she had been talking to Aaron then Wes...the asshole had bashed her head in with a baseball bat "Ugh, I'm gonna kill him."
"Get in line."
At the familiar cocky voice Elena ignoring the agony in her head turns over and sighs in relief as she spots Damon in what appeared to be the cell adjoining to her own "Damon, thank god." She breaths "Are you okay?"
"Fine." He says offering her a kind smile from his place behind his own metal bars, slowly he looks up at her head wincing at the sight of the dried blood covering half of her face "Wow he did a number on you huh?"
"No kidding." Elena laughs before moving to look at the bars, slowly she smiles she could get through those however suddenly Damon makes her stop as he shakes his head in a panic "Don't scream." Sighing he points at the collar that she hadn't noticed around her neck "You even go above a certain octave and it'll slice right through your throat. You try and give me blood..." Pausing he gestures to the braces on her wrist "You get electrocuted. The douche bags smart."
Elena groans in annoyance and slams her foot against the cell in frustration, this was officially the worst day ever, first Xander was babysitting a suicidal Katherine which to say she hadn't been thrilled about was an understatement, then no news from Buffy...now this. "My day just can't get any better." She huffs before turning to Damon hoping that he knew at least a fraction of what the hell was going on "What the hell is going on? Why are you here? Why am I here?"
"Wes is carrying out the grand Augustine tradition: getting his kicks off vampire torture."
Elena's eyes widen in horror at his words, while she had heard about the experiments the Initiative had run in Sunnydale she had no idea it was happening here "What like with Spike?"
Damon chuckles in amusement, what happened to Spike sounded like a freaking dream compared to this place, he would rather have a damn chip be put in his brain then be here "Not so much neutering vamps when I was here in 1953..." He starts ignoring her horrified and shocked expression "...they would push us to our limits. Remove pieces."

"Very cabin in the woods." Buffy snarks as she and Klaus come to stand outside of the woman Mary's cabin where Jackson was currently waiting inside for Hayley and Oz to return. Raising her hand to touch the wooden doorway she groans "Not a big out Dorsey type. I'm more a beach L.A type."
As she speaks both Mary and Jackson spin around their eyes widening at the sight of the vampire Slayer, the myth, the legend that was Buffy Summers at their doorstep.
Mary exhales staring at the blonde for a long moment before her eyes land on the smug-looking hybrid at the blonde Slayer's side "I'd normally say it's an honor, but I'm not a fan of the company you keep."
Klaus chuckles at the old woman's words "That hurts Mary. And here I thought we were getting along."
Buffy rolls her eyes in annoyance before turning to look at the handsome man with dark hair at Mary's side who was watching her with almost a star-struck look, "What I'm not a unicorn, everyone keeps staring at me like I'm a damn mythical creature."
"You technically are dear." Mary says her hard eyes softening as she turns to the blonde.
"Well you're all myth-taken." She jokes only to be met with silence as the two in the cabin continue to glare at her overly amused companion, rolling her eyes the blonde turns to glare at Klaus "You're ruining the mood. Not even my well thought out jokes are landing."
"Maybe you aren't that funny Luv."
At his words Buffy scoffs "Coming from the hybrid who can't tell a good joke after a thousand years? Sure." Sighing the blonde smirks at his annoyed face before turning back to the handsome wolf she assumed would be Jackson "Can we talk?"
Mary clenches her jaw before grabbing the stake from the side table "You're welcome too..." She tells The Slayer before her eyes land on the hybrid instantly filling with hatred and slight fear "He on the other hand."
While Klaus places a hand to his chest faking hurt Buffy rolls her eyes before turning to Jackson who sighs and places a comforting hand on Mary's shoulder "It's ok." He assures her before walking up the doorway.
"I'm Jackson." He says holding out his hand towards the blonde who smiles sweetly and takes the hand "Buffy."
"I know." He laughs, "You're kind of famous around these parts. That hunter you took down in Sunnydale couple years ago...killed a few of our pack before he made his way to you."
Buffy frowns thinking back to her early Slayer days in Sunnydale, she had to admit her memories were still a little jumbled when it came to everything back then given she did have two different lives shoved into her head. It made remembering specific events like that a little harder to recall.
After a long beat she snorts "Cain." She breaths "Yeah. Douche, sexist, so not a fan. He called me little girl. So I broke his gun and kicked him out of town. Good times."
Jackson snorts in amusement at her words, he could see now why Oz had spoken so highly of her and given that Cain had been after Oz in the first place it was nice to hear the guy got beat by what would have been at the time a 17 year old girl. Must have dug at the hunter's ego.
Slowly however his amusement fades as he turns to face the hybrid who was smirking at him "Where's Hayley and Oz?"
"Their resting." Klaus tells him smugly making Buffy sigh, this was not going to end well "Hayley was quite exhausted after your grueling day of wedding preparations, poor thing. No matter. Gives us three a chance to chat."
Jackson clenches his jaw before turning to the blonde "Oz said you're honorable. This stays between the three of us, agreed?"
Buffy sighs before glancing at Klaus hesitating ever so slightly, Jackson seemed like a nice guy but as much as she wanted to trust him they couldn't risk it, without another word she reaches forward pulling him across the barrier and with that she and Klaus drag him away from the cabin and into the woods.

Elena continues pacing back and forth in her cell as Damon finally finishes his tale about his time here during a five-year period in the 50's with another vampire Enzo. To say she was horrified was an understatement, while yes she may not be Damon's biggest fan she couldn't help but feel for him, no one deserved that kind of torture. That kind of pain.
She couldn't even begin to imagine how horrible this was for him, literally back in his old cell, like he had never left.
Taking a shaky breath the brunette holds herself up trying to ignore her obvious concussion, she needed to figure a way out of here. Damon didn't deserve to go through this again...and whatever Wes had planned for her, honestly she was terrified to find out.
"Okay...so Stefan's in Cleveland so he's out."
At her words Damon's eyes widen and swing to look at her "Wait what?! Why the hell is my brother in Cleveland?"
"Willow's going into his mind to help with his PTSD." The brunette explains as she tries to think of who may realize they were gone "Okay so Buffy's still in New Orleans so we can't wait for her. But I live with Xander, when I don't come home...he will find us."
Damon chuckles in amusement "Xander's human. And Stefan doesn't even know this place exists...the only person that does...is Buffy."
At his reveal Elena's eyes widen in shock, she was surprised that Stefan didn't know, how could he not, Damon had been here for 5 years, how the hell could Stefan not notice his brother missing for five years.
"How does Stefan not now?"
Damon shrugs "I only ever told Buffy, we were both really drunk. We were in St Louis. I begged her not to tell Stefan."

"Nik!" Buffy exclaims in anger as she watches Klaus badger and continue to beat Jackson, it had quickly been decided it seemed by the elder Hybrid that instead of convincing Jackson to cancel the wedding or just threaten him...he would just jump straight to execution.
Buffy groans in frustration as she watches Klaus kick Jackson across the floor, speeding over she grabs the hybrid shoving him off the wolf making the vampire groan in annoyance as he goes flying.
Landing on his back he sighs looking up at Buffy "Really, Luv?"
The blonde sighs before moving to stand in front of the wolf, she may be brutal as well, maybe as brutal as Klaus now, but she wasn't going to stand by and let him kill Jackson. Not until they knew they had no other option.
Plus she knew this wasn't just about Joy right now, this was clearly to do with the fact that Klaus' father Ansell had mentored Jackson, there was clear jealousy and anger "Enough." She warns him "We are here to talk. Not for you to go all huffing and puffing big bad wolf."
The hybrid groans in annoyance at her words before standing, clenching his jaw in slight anger and jealousy as he watches the beautiful Slayer turn to Jackson checking his head before carefully helping him lean up against a tree.
"Buffy, Luv..." The blonde sighs and turns away from Jackson to face the father of her child, without another word she grabs the sword from her holster and launches it with ease, watching as it cuts right into the tree right next to his head. When he stares at her with wide eyes she merely shrugs "I'm fairly certain I said talk."
The hybrid tightens his fist in anger glaring at the blonde who merely grins at him playfully, holding her gaze for a moment he shakes his head and turns to Jackson who was watching in fascination as The Slayer stood up to the hybrid without an ounce of fear.
"Fine." The hybrid begins as his gaze shifts to Jackson "Let's talk. Let's talk about how your using Hayley's best intentions and Oz's connections to get to Buffy, for your own self-serving power grab."
Buffy groans in annoyance at his words and rubs her forehead "Here we go."
"You're wrong!" Jackson screams attempting to pull himself back to his feet while Buffy moves to grab her sword out of the tree, turning to Jackson she shrugs "He's in monologue mode now. There's no stopping him."
Klaus smirks at her words before continuing in his taunts but he believed every word he was saying, he refused to let some small pack of wolves try and use Buffy for her status, for her name, nothing and no one would use her, not while he was alive and around to put a stop to it. Even if she couldn't see the threats he always would protect her from them.
"You want her power...that's why you let Oz believe that the wolves would bow down to Buffy...because once you have her, once your The Slayer's wolves you can wage wars and win territories and no one would dare stop you. After all, that's what wolves do."
Spotting Jackson about to swing his fist at Klaus Buffy speeds in front of the hybrid and catches the wolves fists before shoving it back and glaring at both of them, shoving them away from each other "I said enough! No more talking! We are getting nowhere, this wedding is off! End of discussion, so quit it with this wolfman testosterone poising!"
CLEVELAND, OHIO
As the water begins to reach his waist Stefan was still banging desperately against the walls sweat dripping down his face as his heartbeat hard against his chest, he was pretty sure if he wasn't a vampire he would have died just from a damn heart attack at this rate.
As the water gets higher again he looks around the darkroom trying to find Willow, this made no sense she was supposed to be here and he sure as hell wasn't supposed to be trapped again.
"Willow!" He cries as he feels his throat tighten; all of those days trapped in the safe rushing back to his mind "I can't breathe." He gasps his voice breathing as he desperately gasps for air.
"Stefan, listen to me."
As Willow's voice fills the safe he gasps again as water begins rising faster and faster "Willow please!" He begs desperately "Please..." he cries as he bangs against the walls trying to escape but it was futile "Please, make it stop."
"Stefan, it's not real." Willow tells him calmly trying to sound as soothingly as possible "You conjured this room in your mind. Only you can escape."
"No." He gasps as he tries to claw for air feeling like he was dying all over again "No, I can't...Will...I can't breathe...please..."
Willow sighs softly before finally her voice fills the room again just as the water reaches Stefan's neck "Stefan, I don't know you that well. But you know how I call you hero hair? Your compassion for others that's a big part of who you are. Don't think about your fear. Think about all the people you want to see...your brother, your friends, Buffy. Use them as your anchor. Your light. They kept you together in that safe for three months."
"Let me out." He sobs out as he slams against the walls harder and harder the water slashing around him widely as it continues to rise. Hitting the ceiling desperately he spits out water as it slowly rises almost covering his face.
"You created this in your mind." Willow reminds him "You are the architect of your own torture. You can escape this, Stefan. If not for yourself then for them...you created this...you couldn't escape the safe...but this you can..."
At her words Stefan takes a deep last breath as the water finally fills the room water filling his nose, trying not to panic he looks around the darkroom desperately before his eyes spot it at the bottom was a small handle, swimming towards it he tries to remain calm as he yanks against the handle hoping desperately for his escape.

"He needs to die Luv." Klaus argues as he and the blonde continue arguing over the best way to make sure this wedding didn't occur, he knew that deep down inside of her she agreed with him. However, he also knew well enough to know that what Finn had said to her had struck a nerve of hers, making her question herself and her actions.
"He will only use you for the wolves' petty ambitions." He argues before placing his hands on the blonde's shoulders begging her to see his way "You are my family I will not allow wolves to try and manipulate us, try and use you!"
"We wouldn't use her!" Jackson argues finally able to pull himself back to his own feet staring at the blonde "Our kind has waited centuries for someone like her!" He screams in Klaus's face "Someone to bring the different species together. Someone with power but a good heart!"
"A load of bullocks!" Klaus screams speeding past Buffy and shoving Jackson to the ground before reaching to grab a sharp branch off the ground. The blonde's eyes widen in panic and she quickly speeds over tackling Klaus to the ground.
As the two of them roll across the floor the blonde lands on top of the hybrid and looks down at him staring straight into his blue eyes "They're your people too Nik." She reminds him "You can't kill him. You're a wolf, like she is..." Sighing the blonde stands pulling the hybrid to his feet before cupping his face in her hands.
"You can't trust him." The hybrid breaths after a long beat as he thinks about her words, while yes he was a wolf, he never had the luxury to be around his own kind, and the blonde was trying to prevent him from sending their daughter down that path too. If he killed Jackson Joyce would never be welcomed by the New Orleans wolves wedding or not. But that still didn't mean Jackson was worthy of their trust.
"Wait!" Two new voice call causing the two hybrids to spin around only to come face to face with Oz and Hayley who were running over to them, immediately making their way over to an injured Jackson.
Slowly Hayley makes her way towards Buffy before shocking both the hybrid and the blonde as she kneels down in front of Buffy, the werewolf Queen bowing towards The Queen of Slayers "You're a Queen right?" She asks as she looks up at Buffy making the blonde exhale in disbelief and shock as she stares at Hayley in confusion, what the hell was happening right now "Huh—how—what-huh?"
Oz who had Jackson's arm wrapped around his shoulder to offer the other wolf support exhales "That's what I wanted to tell you. The Slayers...your Slayers...they call you The Slayer Queen. The Queen of Slayers."
At his reveal Buffy turns to Klaus who was in just as much shock as her, while she knew the Slayers looked up to her and she constantly spoke to Giles to help run the Slayer's organization they had been building she didn't know that the girls saw her this way. While yes a few of them had been shocked by her different abilities she couldn't have imagined what that had started "Ew...did not know that."
Hayley chuckles softly still on her knee in front of the blonde before whistling making both Klaus and Buffy tense as a few more members of Hayley, Jackson and Oz' pack surround them. While both hybrids prepare for a fight they are shocked as just like Hayley they all turn towards the blonde Slayer...and bend the knee.
Hayley smiles as she spots Buffy's face "You may not know it but factions of supernatural creatures have been swearing their loyalty to you since the other Slayers were called. The Slayers swore allegiance to you and no one else...Demons, witches, wolves even vampires all over the world swearing allegiance...to you."
"Giles has been getting call after call." Oz pipes up, making Buffy take a shaky breath as she clutches onto Klaus' arm just to keep herself from honestly passing out at this point "But—"
"He'll want you to have meetings." Oz tells her "But he believes you could do a lot of good in bringing some form of peace. And so do we."
With that reveal Hayley speaks up again "We swear our allegiance to you. You keep the Slayers from hunting wolves...we protect your secret. We'll fight for you, beside you. If any of us betray your secret...break our pledge you punish them how you see fit. We want this to work. The world is different since you had all the Slayer's called. This is the future."
Slowly Oz and Jackson lower to their knees beside Hayley the Alpha looking up ignoring the pain in his side as he faces the Slayer "You're The Slayer Queen. The Wolves bend to you."
Buffy remains absolutely silent as she stares at Hayley, Oz, Jackson and the rest of the wolves in shock, honestly she didn't know how to feel. This wasn't what she had expected to happen when she asked Willow to use magic to wake up the Slayers.
She sure as hell never expected to be seen as some mythical messiah queen that would bring peace to the supernatural community. All she had wanted when she returned from Sunnydale was to bring her daughter home, to open her mother's art gallery and to help Giles with the Slayers but it seemed like it had gone beyond that now.
Klaus couldn't help but exhale in amazement as he watched powerful wolves bowing down before the mother of his child, it truly amazed him the love, fear and respect she had managed to gain without even trying. He could imagine that in a few years she would be the most powerful woman in the world with respect, power, armies, more than she could possibly imagine. And he couldn't wait to watch her take over the world hopefully by her side.
"You know Luv." He whispers in her ear "I always knew...you were strong, powerful, cunning and beautiful...but more than anything...I was positive that you were a Queen."
The blonde gulps at his words and turns to look at him nervously, honestly she was terrified, she was 23 years old she wasn't supposed to be this all-knowing power that people came to.
"You have a good heart, Buffy." Klaus tells her before gesturing at the wolves who were still bent at their knees waiting for her word "You were made to rule my dear. And clearly...they believe so too." Given her a soft look he nods at her making it clear that right now he was trusting in her to make the decision regarding this wedding.
Taking a shaky breath The newly appointed Slayer Queen turns to the werewolf Queen "I'm trusting you here. I'm trusting that Oz's judgment is right. Because I don't know wolves...and given..." Slowly the blonde gives Hayley a pointed look making the brunette beauty nod, Buffy was trusting her because she wanted her daughter to have her people.
Buffy didn't know the first thing about being a werewolf, she had no idea what she was supposed to do to help her daughter when it came to her wolf aspects or when it came time for her first shift. But these were her people...Joy would need them.
Taking a shaky breath she glances at Jackson "You can tell him."
Klaus sighs before stepping forward glaring in-between the soon to be married wolves, "But you mark my words...both of you...if you ever betray Buffy...I will find you and I will deposit your heads on the end of a spike for my dear Slayer Queen."
Needing a bit of rest from the whole reveal Buffy sits on a bench just outside of New Orleans her mind desperately trying to put together everything the wolves had said. She wouldn't have believed some of it...she didn't...but then she had called Giles who had confirmed it. Apparently, he had been just as flabbergasted with all the requests he had been getting from different species all of them wanting to meet her. The one of a kind, immortal all-powerful slayer.
Bringing her knees to her chest she rubs her shaky hands over her face, she had never expected all of this, never wanted it. But here she was, honestly she couldn't help but think about The First Slayer's words 'Alone. We are Alone'
But it seemed that wasn't the case anymore, people saw something in her, something she didn't even see herself yet. However, she still felt alone, no matter how many people believed in her she always felt alone, and she knew that would never truly change. Like Klaus, she was the only one of her kind, with that kind of power there was a cost...loneliness.
Rubbing her hands against her knees as she tries to calm herself down; she couldn't help but wince as a bright car headlight appears in her puerperal vision. Closing her eyes she ignores the sound of the car pulling over and groans as she hears someone climb out their footsteps approaching her.
Sighing she couldn't help but shake her head "Look I've had a very long day. I'm tired...and I'm not in the mood for a fight. I've already had my favorite boots ruined and need a manicure, can you try and kill me another time?"
"You have an eventful day too then?"
As the sound of the familiar voice Buffy's eyes slam open and she stands spinning around only to spot that same soft smile she had fallen in love with all those years ago, those same kind eyes that made her swoon "Stefan."

Elena groans as she wakes from her forced slumber moaning in pain, she hears a familiar buzzing noise in the distance, she was almost certain it was medical equipment. She had heard that sound for hours on end during her volunteer hours at the hospital.
Wincing at the weakness of her body she blinks cowering slightly at the bright light before coughing "Wh—" She tries to speak only to have the device around her neck cutting off her words.
"That's definitely new." An accented voice says from beside her causing the now mute banshee to turn her head only to find as attractive man beside her, like her he was strapped down to a gurney, his hands and legs bound but luckily for him he didn't have a device around his neck threatening to slit his throat with every breath.
"I'm 12144." He says kindly grinning at her as though he hadn't seen a woman in years "My name's Enzo...and you are definitely not a vampire...so question is, what the hell are you doing here?"
NEW ORLEANS
Stefan watches Buffy quietly as the two sit on the hood of his rental car scanning for her reaction to everything he had just told her. From getting his memory back: Silas and Amara, him killing Silas, Bonnie coming back from the dead and finally what he had put himself through in Cleveland.
It had been at least 10 minutes since he had finished explaining everything and the blonde was uncharastically quiet as she stared up at the stars above them. Suddenly she lets out a loud laugh before shaking her head "I'm gone for like 2 weeks and you all go crazy." She says laughing loudly unable to contain herself, it was a laugh filled with anger at Tessa and Silas, a laugh-filled with pure joy at Bonnie being back and shock and horror when it came to the spell Stefan had allowed Willow to perform.
Stefan watches her with wide eyes as she grabs her stomach still laugh before he himself finds laughter bubbling up inside him, she did have a point there "God knows how bad it's gotten." He chuckles "Pretty sure my brother has left you like a billion messages demanding for you to come back."
Buffy smiles at him brightly before leaning back her back resting against the glass of the windshield as she sprawls out onto of the car trying to get comfortable "Yay, angry Damon voicemails. I may have to throw my phone in the Bayou."
Stefan snorts at her words before copying the blonde and laying back his arms resting behind his head as he stares up at the stars. The two enjoy the comfortable silence for a long moment before the handsome vampire turns to gaze at the newly found Queen of Slayers "So...you're a Queen."
Buffy groans at his words bringing her hands to her face making him laugh at the embarrassed look on her face "Please don't...it's so not funny."
"Buffy The Queen Slayer."
At his teasing tone the blonde playfully slaps his chest before shivering in disgust "Oh shut up, it's wiggy. I was scared they were gonna give me some weird wolf teeth crown."
Stefan shakes his head in amusement as he watches her, honestly, he wasn't too surprised at this reveal, she had no idea just how powerful she was. The world needed someone like her, someone strong but kinder than for example Klaus. Someone with a good heart who had shown just how much she would do for her people.
"If it helps...I think you're gonna be a pretty great Queen."
"Tell me that again in a couple years." She teases smirking at him slightly "If Giles hasn't had a heart attack from all the damage I will probably do. I bet when he got the first call he was all...the earth is definitely doomed."
"Well, he wasn't wrong." The vampire mumbles with a laugh making Buffy roll her eyes before turning to look at him with wide eyes. Inhaling tightly the blonde reaches over clasping his hand in her own and without hesitation Stefan entangles their fingers together, reveling in the small moment of bliss before the storm he knew was coming.
"I can't come back yet." She whispers watching him carefully as he shifts closer to her watching her with those kind understanding eyes she had fallen so madly in love with when she was 17. Honestly, it almost felt like a completely different life.
"I understand..." He whispers still gazing at her beautiful face as he brings his hand up stroking her cheek smiling sadly at her, he knew with everything going on she wouldn't leave New Orleans at least not yet.
As much as the blonde wanted to ask him to stay she could see something in his eyes, something that he had to do just like she did, they both had their own missions right now, the timing was just off.
All over again.
"You're heading back..."
Stefan nods still refusing to lose her eyes for a second as he stares into her green orbs "My brother's not answering his phone...I did kind of take off without a word...so I should probably go check he isn't draining another Quarry."
Buffy smiles softly at his words before exhaling softly as she leans her forehead against his own, for that small moment it was just them like it had been for so long before their lives had gotten ever so complicated.
"You can't kiss me right now." She whispers closing her eyes while Stefan chuckles "I know. Because if I do...I won't be able to leave."
"The wedding works in our favor." Klaus' voice fills Buffy's ears as she climbs the steps of the compound towards his room where he was probably on the phone with Elijah filling him in on the vow the wolves had made. Moving over to the doorway she leans against it, her long blonde hair flowing down almost to her hips as she watches the father of her child speak to his brother.
"Newly – empowered and ruled by Hayley who had now sworn Loyalty to our dear Queen Slayer. The wolves will be an asset to our family."
Buffy rolls her eyes at his words and clears her throat drawing his attention "One more person calls me a Queen and I'm gonna start beheading people."
"I'll happily be your executioner Luv." He teases making her sigh before moving further into the room, she had a very bad feeling that he was very serious about that but it was also a little awesome that she could act all Queen of Hearts and yell out off with their heads if she really wanted to.
"A little Faith in Jackson is a means to an end." Klaus tells his brother as he takes the paperweight Buffy was playing with out of her hands only to sigh as she grabs a letter opener "Will you stop it?"
"Bite me." She snarks before rolling her eyes as he grins down at her madly "I really just said that didn't I?"
The hybrid snorts in amusement before focusing on his brother again "If I had killed him, Hayley would have turned the wolves against us. Plus my dear Slayer did launch a sword at my face."
"By your face." The blonde corrects before arching a brow as she watches that famous evil Klaus Mikealson grin cover the hybrid's face, she couldn't help but clench her jaw at the sight of it "What have you done now? I'm not burying bodies for you...again. One time was enough."
Klaus merely offers her his famous smirk as his brother pretty much throws him the same questions "Once the wedding takes place and the wolves are forever altered...our Jackson's fate becomes a little less certain. Don't worry brother I won't touch your little wolf." With that, he hangs up and Buffy snatches the letter opener he had pulled from her grasp back pointing it at his chest as he invades her personal space with small innocent smirk.
"You're an idiot." She tells him "We're you born this big of a moron or did you just get dropped on your head too much?"
"You shouldn't worry Luv." The dirty blonde hybrid tells her, his blue eyes flashing with excitement "One little wolf won't stop them knowing who their real Queen is. And I can guarentee it's not Hayley."
Buffy groans in annoyance at his words, she should have known the minute the wolves announced her as a Queen that Klaus would go around jumping with evil hybrid joy. Ever so excited at the idea of ruling the entire supernatural community. Opening her mouth to lay into him she finds her words cut off as a new voice pipes in drawing the two hybrid's attention.
"Hello, Nik. Buffy."
Spinning around Buffy frowns as she and Klaus spot a stunning dark skinned woman walk into the room with a grin she could almost place. The witch glances in-between the two smirking brightly at the both of them "I don't suppose you imagined that always and forever would lead us to this."
Buffy's eyes widen as she stares at the woman for a long moment before she spots it, that famous Mikealson grin "My favorite Original."
"Oi!" Klaus hisses from beside her finally tearing his gaze from his sister in her newfound witch body to glare at the blonde.
Buffy scoffs and glares up at him "You got me pregnant and it made me fat unable to drink whiskey for months so shut up." As Rebekah snorts at Buffy's words the two girls quickly embrace Buffy holding onto the witch tightly "We were so worried."
Rebekah smiles as she pulls back before shaking her head "You two will not believe the week I've had."
"Well, I hope it was not as eventful as mine." A new voice pipes up from the corner of the room causing all three of them to turn only to spot the raven haired beauty that none of them had seen in months.
Klaus lets out a small breath as he turns to face his adopted sister "Marianna? What is it?" He hisses in a panic, while he wouldn't admit he was happy to see his sister, he was very aware that Marianna would never set foot in New Orleans...unless something was very, very wrong.
Mary sighs glancing in-between the shocked three "We have a problem siblings...and Buffy."
Slowly a concerned look covers the witch's face as she stares at the three of them in a panic "It seems our dear brother Finn has figured it out. He knows about Joyce."
