Sophie walked through the alleyways and under tunnels to get to the hotel she'd had her dalliances with Marcel. She'd left him the usual signal that she would be waiting for him, a flower over his father's grave. She knew how he hated the man.

When she clocked the hotel manager at the front desk, she headed directly for the elevators and pushed the '3' button.

She had to know. She had to know if Rebekah was telling the truth. If Marcel was.

Would he really bring back Jane-Anne?

Marcel was lying on the bed with no shirt, waiting for her. She closed the door and regarded him. His eyebrows wiggled in greeting.

"I hoped you'd come running back." Sophie said, carelessly flinging her shirt to the floor and looking at him again. Marcel shrugged.

"When a beautiful woman wants to have a good time, how can I say no?" Marcel asked with a grin. She hummed, nodding, then swooped in and kissed him. He kissed her back, undoing her hair and running his fingers over her exposed skin.

"I heard a damn curious thing from Rebekah a little while ago." Sophie said as his fingers dipped into her bra.

"Yeah?"

"You may still have feelings for me." She breathed, then bit his lower lip. He grinned again.

"I didn't think it would matter after what happened." Her replied.

"Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't." Sophie mused, then pushed him lightly onto the bed. As she straddled him, she kept him down with one hand on his chest. Marcel stared at her. "Depends on the answer to a question she put in my head."

His eyebrow rose in response, looking her up and down again.

"Jane-Anne." Sophie got to the point. "Would you be willing to bring her back?"

Marcel's seductive demeanor vanished and Sophie had to scramble for her balance as he sat up.

"Rebekah told you I'd let her be resurrected." He prompted dubiously. "Are you kidding?" Sophie studied him. "You seriously fell for that." Marcel shook his head. "You must not know me at all."

Marcel pushed her off of him and picked up his discarded shirt.

"You seriously don't understand how important that would be to me." Sophie countered. He gave her a look.

"People who break rules in my town don't get let off that easy." Then flung his shirt back on. "Especially witches." He spat.

"My niece needs her mother back." Sophie answered. "Davina, needs to have a mother again."

"Oh yeah, because she had done such a great job with her before, letting her be sacrificed for the harvest." Marcel pointed out. "Would you even look at your parents ever again if they did that to you?"

Sophie looked away. She couldn't let anything slip.

"No, I won't let Jane-Anne come back. Not now, not ever. Not even if it would repair us." He stated bluntly. "I gotta get out of here."

He picked up her shirt and tossed it at her. Then considered telling her not to visit his father's grave again. But, that suggestion had all the wrong holes in it.

"See you around." He said snidely, before slipping out.

Sophie had tears in her eyes, and ripped the shirt as she yanked it over her head. Putting her hair back up, she looked in the mirror to perfect it again, and her chin trembled when she looked in her own eyes.

Rebekah had been lying. She didn't know why she was so surprised.

Hayley was still the key to bringing Marcel down, she reasoned. But it was strictly in a business-sense now. No helping the Mikaelsons learn more magic than they'd already been. No helping them at all beyond protecting Hayley.

The Mikaelsons would take down Marcel's regime, the witches would be free, and that's all that mattered.

Davina heard shuffling, and the door opening. At the end of the much bigger room than she was used to, Marcel came in banging a large potato sack bag over his shoulder. He banged the sack against the doorframe one more time for good measure, then took a few steps in to let it crumple to the floor. Davina watched a head pop out as it lolled to a stop. A young guy, unconscious. She looked up at Marcel.

"Who's this?" She asked.

"This guy, is the only vampire in the Quarter that I turned recently, and who was sired by Klaus." Marcel explained. Davina blinked in surprise. "Do you think you could lift the sirebond?" He asked. She shrugged, shaking her head.

"I'd be surprised if I couldn't turn him back into a human now, with the power of the Harvest I have." Davina replied.

Suddenly Josh bolted up in a sitting position, looking around wildly. First he saw Marcel and gasped, then glanced at Davina and did a double-take.

"Who are you?" He asked in a panic. Davina smiled.

"My name's Davina." She looked at Marcel. "I'm a friend of Marcel's." She lifted her hand towards his head, and concentrated.

Josh felt a pain in his head, but didn't understand why. Was this some version of a headache for vampires? His head felt like it was being very slowly crushed! He screamed, and Davina let the magic lessen.

"What the hell was that?!" He shouted.

"Sorry, I kinda forgot how hard it is to take away sirebonds."

"Sirebonds? What?" Josh asked, looking from her to Marcel.

"That's why you're loyal to Klaus. Even if you don't want to be, which I suspect you don't." Marcel's gaze steadied on him. "Right?"

"Why didn't you asked me if I wanted you to?!" The young vampire demanded.

"Because chances are, you would've said no even if you wanted to say yes." Marcel explained. "The magic of the supernatural world is pretty powerful."

Josh sighed, then shook his head in a futile attempt to chase away the pain that lingered.

"Fine." He panted. "Do it."

Marcel nodded to Davina, and she stared at Josh.

"That pain you just felt?" She began "That's only the beginning."

Josh shook his head again.

"I'd rather have power over my own decisions. The pain will stop eventually, right?" He asked. She nodded. "I'll decide who I wanna follow then."

Davina smiled and lifted her hand again, trying to let the pain start little by little before it got worse. Then Josh began to scream, again.

Tyler glared at Klaus, glancing at Dwayne.

"Dwayne, run." He ordered, preparing to lunge at Klaus.

"tsk, tsk tsk, Klaus replied, waving a finger at them both. Dwayne glanced between the two hybrids and took off. Tyler smiled in triumph as the newbie hybrid disappeared, then looked back at Klaus.

"Threatening a pregnant woman in order to exact revenge against me." Klaus chided, taking some steps towards him. "I never expected you to sink so low." He added in sarcasm. "Admittedly, I am impressed." Klaus came close enough to hug Tyler with his arms outstretched. Tyler snarled and walked in a wide berth around him, keeping his eyes on him.

"I used to hang out with you." Tyler sneered. "I guess I picked up some tricks."

"What do you think Caroline would say, if she could see you now?" Klaus mused, lifting his chin in a superior manner. "What she would say if she saw what you've become?"

Tyler snarled again, his eyes flashing yellow.

"I know she's here, Klaus." Tyler said. Klaus smiled at the boy's reaction.

"Well, doesn't that just go to prove you were wrong all along?" Klaus asked smoothly, lifting his hands up. Tyler just shook his head. Klaus kept stepping towards him. The boy kept stepping back,

"It doesn't matter what made her stay here. She'll inevitably leave, and go back to hating you." Tyler smiled at his own words. He stopped moving backwards, steadying himself for a fight.

Klaus looked away, remembering how close Caroline was to...he didn't even want to think about it. He sighed, then swung an arm at Tyler's torso, making the boy fly back even if he knew an attack was coming. He hit the tree behind him and fell to the ground, coughing. Klaus took a step.

"You may find this hard to believe mate, but Caroline has better things to do than deal with your pubescent little dramas."

Tyler laughed.

"That's not what I meant." He panted, rubbing his chest as he felt whatever Klaus had injured heal. The original hybrid's face twitched in confusion. "When Caroline learns that the only reason you're keeping Hayley around, is to create an army?" He laughed. "Who knows what she'll do."

Klaus merely shook his head. It was unfortunate he'd chosen a soul who knew him so very well and turned against him. When the younger hybrid stood back up, fully healed, Klaus steadied himself.

"Come at me, mate." Klaus goaded. "Do your worst."

Tyler turned and sped away. And within seconds, Klaus heard where he was. With a smile he sped after him.

"Klaus have to have known." Hayley said, sitting in the same spot Elijah found her in. "What other explanation could there be?" She asked rhetorically. Elijah lifted his hand to the tree beside him, tracing a path of the bark with one finger. She could tell he was considering her words,

"He could care less about the twins." She added with a shrug. If she could convince Elijah, she could persuade him to help her escape. And once the babies were born, she'd be free. Maybe even to be with him.

Elijah nodded to himself, and looked away. He sighed. Truly, he'd begun to believe that Klaus's intentions for his children were pure with being willing to look after her. But it made much more sense that Klaus merely allowed Hayley to sleep under their roof, provided she give nothing away to anyone and give him what he wanted in nine months. How Caroline fit into this, he still wasn't sure. But if he was able to, he'd strongarm her into helping him protect Hayley. Klaus may not go through Caroline to get to her.

"I should take you home." Elijah decided. He tried to picture the plan in his mind. Hayley would be safe from Klaus if he protected her, he was sure of it. What he needed to do more than anything in that moment, was get the daggers.

"Ha."

He looked at her with her sarcastic grin.

"Are you serious? Home to what?"

"Look, regardless of my brother's intentions, mine are the same. And perhaps so are miss Forbes." He added lightly. Hayley shrugged.

"She does seem to genuinely care for the babies." She shook her head and picked up a twig, pulling at the bark with her fingernail.

"I said I would protect you." Elijah stated. "And Miss Forbes will also."

Hayley nodded. She knew she could protect herself, but she also knew how strong Klaus was. If she thought she could get away from him cleanly, she would've done so weeks ago. Sure, she had a thing for Elijah. But she'd been able to walk away from that, before.

Rebekah came to the clearing with Caroline as they watched Klaus tearing apart tee-pees and listening for Tyler again.

"Is this is your idea of revenge Tyler, a tedious game of hide and seek?" Klaus called.

Out of nowhere, Tyler sped into view and shoved a sharpened tree branch through Klaus's torso. Caroline gasped in surprise, clamping her hands to her face. As Klaus yelled in pain and his own surprise, he turned to his sister and her, his fingers twitching around the whittled tip.

Tyler backed away, glaring at Caroline.

"So it's true." Tyler seethed. Caroline's face twisted in that odd mixture of pity and fear made Rebekah instinctually reach to protect her. "You're siding with them." He spat.

"Tyler..." Caroline squeaked.

Klaus swung his arm at the young hybrid again, sending him flying.

Then Dwayne sped behind the two blondes, holding Caroline by the neck and pulling her back from Rebekah.

"Nik." Rebekah called to her brother. Klaus spun and glared at the newbie hybrid.

Tyler got to his feet and was prepared to lunge at Klaus again. Then he saw Dwayne. Klaus held the man's eye, and pulled the thick branch through his torso, covering the entire thing with his blood. Even as the man gulped, he kept his grip steady.

"Tyler, you good?" Dwayne called. Tyler gulped and looked at Klaus. The original hybrids' face transformed into the one he'd woken up from countless nightmares of.

"Yeah." He called. Then jutted his chin towards Caroline. "Let her go."

Dwayne nodded and pushed Caroline away. While the blonde didn't need air, she gasped more in surprise at being taken unawares.

"Where'd he come from?" She wheezed. Rebekah took Caroline's arms and held Klaus's worried eyes, nodding in response to the silent ask to make sure she was alright. Then he turned back to Tyler.

"Let's end this, shall we?" Klaus growled. His face transformed back, letting out his fangs, the black veins overtaking half his face, yellow pupils and black eyes.

Tyler panted and prepared to lunge.

The two hybrids went rolling down a hill close to the hut Tyler had had Hayley in. He braced himself with his knee and stopped them both, wailing on Klaus's face with his fists. The force could've sent the man's head spinning like a ball if the ground hadn't been there.

Klaus's hand shot up and grabbed Tyler's jugular, debating whether to grow his claws and rip out the flesh or just leave Tyler unable to speak for half a second.

"How dare you let her get hurt!" Klaus growled.

Tyler shook his head. "You know that wasn't me." He wheezed.

"Tyler!" Dwayne called again. This time, Rebekah wasn't going to let him surprise them. She sped to the new hybrid and shoved her hand into his chest, holding his eyes for good measure as she tightened her grip.

"You won't get another chance like that, darling." She said calmly, before ripping the bloodied thing out. Dwayne let out his final sound as he fell hard to the ground. It was rather insult to injury as his head hit a large rock and broke his neck.

Rebekah shook her head and huffed, throwing the organ aside.

"Bloody hell, that hasn't happened in a while." She murmured.

"What?" Caroline asked.

"Getting caught unawares." Rebekah said.

Caroline looked after where Tyler and Klaus went, and the older blonde could see her worry.

"Let me ask you something, love." Rebekah said, stepping closer to her. "That is a fight to the death. If you were to see that fight between your ex and your never-have-been now," She gestured with her chin. "Who would you choose to help?"

Caroline stared at her.

Once upon a time, she'd thought Tyler was the love of her life. After years of pondering and thinking back through their relationship, she saw things that weren't right. Now, with Klaus...

Caroline sped after the fighting men, and Rebekah looked after them, wondering what could be worse. Caroline siding with Tyler, or Tyler watching Caroline side with Klaus.

Tyler drove another stake he'd made through Klaus's side, twisting it so it would open the wound more.

"You've grown more bloodthirsty." Klaus said with a raised eyebrow. His fucking evil smirk returned and he chuckled. "I suppose it's good your mother never lived long enough to see you like this!" He laughed hard and Tyler threw another punch at his face.

The two rolled again and Tyler threw more punches, trying to drive the older hybrid head into the goddamn ground. But Klaus caught his next fist, and flipped them over, pressing only his thumb into Tyler's throat. Klaus took the stake that was still stuck in his side and plunged it into Tyler's chest, just inches away from his heart.

Tyler yelled in pain, and Klaus stood over him. The young hybrid started inching himself backwards, trying to get a grip on the stake, his hands shaking.

Klaus kicked his side, Tyler rolling over and the stake going farther in. The scream it resulted in echoed for miles, it seemed. Then he let the young man find his feet, still clutching at the stake.

"I thought I'd made you better." Klaus mused, shaking his head. "How the mighty have fallen."

Tyler finally ripped the stake from his chest, tossing it aside. Blood dribbled from his mouth. If this was going to be his last stand, he wouldn't let Klaus think he was just going to go out with a whimper.

"I guess I'm just another one of your failures." Tyler spat. "Failed at making hybrids, failed your family?" He goaded, walking back to Klaus. "Looks like you're gonna fail Caroline too, when she learns the truth."

Klaus glared, then pushed and sped Tyler into one of the bigger trees nearby.

"I can't say I haven't finished everything I've started, mate." Klaus reasoned. "Thus ends your tedious, little life." He added, then plunged his hand into Tyler's chest. The boy screamed, gripping his hand.

"Klaus!" Caroline shrieked as she got to them. Klaus froze, looking back at her. "Don't kill him." She said. Suddenly he was reminded of when he tried to stop the twelve witches in Mystic Falls dying. He had Stefan pinned to the tree, but hadn't considered Caroline doing anything to save her friend Bonnie.

"Caroline..." He trailed off. "whatever you must think of me right now-" He turned back to Tyler. If he took the boy's life, it would be one less avenue of Caroline hearing about the twins and the hybrid army.

If she learned the truth...

"Whatever it is that you think I'm feeling isn't why you should spare Tyler." Caroline cut him off. Klaus blinked, and looked back at her.

"Caroline what the hell are you doing?!" Tyler yelled, his voice coming out with a gurgle. She took a deep breath to calm her nerves.

"If you kill Tyler, he becomes a martyr for the wolves he no doubt gained the loyalty of along the way to finding Dwayne and figuring out where Hayley is." Caroline said, coming closer. "Look at him." Klaus obliged, watching the hybrid stare at him in panic. "He's lost everything to you. His mother died because of you. When you granted us permission, hah, to be together, he couldn't stand that you essentially had the power to do that." Caroline stood by Klaus. "The one thing Tyler wants now, is for the suffering to end." She sighed. "But he isn't the type to end it himself."

Klaus looked at her, realizing she was right.

"Don't listen to her." Tyler whispered. "You want to tell her what the twins are actually for or should I?" he threatened. Caroline closed her eyes. Klaus could do nothing but stand there. If he killed Tyler, Caroline would spurn him. Or she was right, and it would also bring untold number of wolves down on his family's heads.

"He might have convinced you he...he was going to turn himself around, and be a father to those t-twins, but I know better. Now for sure." Tyler seethed, almost trying to force Klaus's hand to twist his heart from his chest. "Those twins are going to be perfect b-bloodbags, fo-for him to make an entire army!"

Caroline watched Klaus in concern.

"Don't let him be right." Was all she said as she stepped away.

Klaus froze again. Did she mean Tyler? Did she mean the twins?

Or was it both?

He turned back to Tyler, and watched him. The young hybrid was flailing, trying to pull at Klaus more than before.

"What're you waiting for." Tyler growled as menacingly as he could. "You're never gonna break me. The only thing you can do is kill me, so go on."

Klaus watched Tyler's face, and saw pure desperation. He chuckled. How had he not seen it before?

"Ah, Caroline's right, isn't she?" Klaus said smoothly. All his fears dissipated at the thought of a better and more satisfying revenge. "You want me to end your suffering."

Klaus yanked his hand from Tyler's chest. "I did break you." Without another second for Tyler to move, he gripped the boy's hair, forcing his eyes to remain fixed on Klaus's. He began to compel him.

"Dying is more closure than you deserve. Better to let you live and know to your very core, that you mean nothing," he draw out the last syllable to the word, smiling into it. "To me."

As Klaus let Tyler go, the boy fell to the ground, coughing and panting. He was tempted to watch the panic and vulnerability play out in the boy's eyes, but Caroline stood there. Her concern fixed upon him was all the incentive he needed to follow her back to his family.

Klaus went inside the hut he and Tyler had fought beside, and found the ties Hayley had cut off herself. She certainly knew how to get away. He smirked, knowing she was smart enough not to try and run from him. As more footsteps came he left, closing the door behind him.

"Klaus," Rebekah prompted when she saw him come back. "what is Elijah talking about?" She asked. Elijah and Hayley had returned, Hayley now behind him.

"Ah," Klaus said with a plastered on smile. "So she's told you too." He levelled his eyes at the young woman, her belly seemingly more prominent than last he saw her. "The little stray."

"Klaus!" Caroline scolded, glaring at him. Klaus raised his eyebrow at her. And out of the corner of his eye, he saw Elijah taking another step to guard Hayley.

"Mmm." He noted. "Well come on, then."

"Is it true, Niklaus?" Elijah asked.

"You assume it so, so why ask me?" Klaus snapped. "Especially when it comes from her."

Hayley glared back at him.

"Spare me your false indignation." Elijah replied. "We know how far you were willing to go to create for hybrids in Mystic Falls. Why should we believe you would not do the exact same here?"

"Because this is my flesh and blood." Klaus whispered. "Why on earth would I want to rip apart two newborns just to lay waste to the world?"

Rebekah stared at him, wanting so badly to believe that Klaus was being sincere. Surely he wouldn't just be using the babies as a means to an end?

"I would be more inclined to believe it, if it didn't take serious meddling on all of our parts," as he gestured to Caroline, she looked back at him in surprise. "to make you protect her."

"After all, what was it you once said to me?" Elijah prompted, earning a sneer from Klaus. "Every king needs an heir." He hissed.

"Oh yes, my big brother." Klaus replied. "I can't say I'm surprised. And standing beside the noble Elijah, how could I be anything but the lesser brother." He looked at Caroline. "A liar, a manipulator." He gulped. "A bastard."

Rebekah watched him. Klaus had lied to them before numerous times, to get what he wanted. And maybe he was lying now. But she would be damned, if she let Hayley's children be catalysts for such a vile purpose.

Klaus stepped down from the hut's porch and walked to his brother.

"That's all I am to this family, isn't it?" Klaus asked. "And judging by the way Hayley hangs on your every word, clearly she believes it too."

Hayley rolled her eyes. She didn't care what was happening. She couldn't tell if Klaus was lying either, but as long as she didn't get hurt in the meantime, this business was the Mikaelson family's not hers. Though she had a feeling if she voiced this fact it would hurt Elijah. And that was one thing she did care about.

"No doubt my children will as well." Klaus whispered. Elijah stared back at him. So that's what this was about? Klaus was scared of not being anything to the twins?"

"Brother," Elijah tried, but Klaus gripped his shoulder and pointed at him.

"We've said all that needs to be said, don't you think?" Klaus hissed.

"Don't recall anyone else making speeches in the past twenty minutes," Hayley muttered to herself.

Elijah watched him and waited for Klaus to pull away. He did, putting his hands up. As if he were leaving in peace.

"I'll play the role I've been given." Klaus said reassuringly, backing away. Elijah continued to watch him.

It only surprised Hayley when Klaus sped back and sunk his fangs into Elijah's neck.

"Agh!" Elijah groaned at the pain.

"Klaus!" Caroline protested.

He let his brother fall to the floor, wiping the blood cleanly from his lips. Hayley immediately bent down to Elijah, trying to look at the wound and wondering what the hell to do now.

"You two can enjoy each other's company." Klaus said. Elijah rose back to his feet, blood trickling down the back of his shirt. Hayley cringed at the sizzling she thought she could hear emanating from the wound. "You'll have much to bond over once the hallucinations and dementia set in." He added.

Caroline glared in horror at Klaus, and the hybrid tried to erase the hurt at her stare. "Consider that bite my parting gift." He traded glares with Hayley as she stood to meet his eye. When she turned to Elijah, he had the wound covered from the sun, wincing at the pain.

"Let's get you inside, Elijah." Rebekah replied, taking him by the arm.

"Caroline." Klaus called a fair distance from the car. Caroline walked to him but stayed a yard away. "You need to come back with me." He said, his back to her.

The woman glared at him. "Why?"

He switched his stance and turned around.

"Because once the hallucinations hit, Elijah could kill you." Klaus stated. "You know how vengeful my brother can be."

"No more that you've been." She challenged, crossed her arms. "And I've been on the bad side of those poisonous bites too."

Klaus gasped.

"If you truly believe I am a threat to you, then..." He held her eyes, and they turned sympathetic. She knew that he had had several opportunities to kill her, and stopped trying. He saved her life, all for one very simple reason.

"Okay." Caroline acquiesced. Klaus smiled slightly. "I need to get Hayley, however."

"Elijah is her safest option, if you are to believe what Tyler has said." Klaus pointed out. Caroline considered him. She hadn't managed to figure out what it was that she thought Klaus really wanted to do with those children. And if she forced Hayley to come with, it'd be like offering Klaus a chance to do his worst. As he stared at her, he knew her thoughts, and his eyes widened.

"Okay, I guess it's just you and me then." Caroline replied smally, walking past him to get in the car. Klaus opened his mouth, but he honestly had no idea of what he would've said.

Instead he followed and got in the driver's seat, chancing a glance at Caroline before starting the car.

Josh panted, fully covered in sweat. He slowly lifted himself up on his elbows as Davina sat beside him.

"That's it. You're free." She said.

"You're...you're right." He realized, smiling at her. She returned it. "Since I turned, all I thought about was what Klaus would want me to do." He shook his head, grinning in a haze. "Now he can just suck it. Ha!"

Davina looked away.

"What?"

"It's just..." She looked back at him. "Marcel wants me to make you forget about me."

"Well, you don't have to do that." Josh reasoned. "Especially if it's gonna hurt as much as the sirebond eraser thing did." Davina let out a humorless laugh.

"You saved my life, really. I owe you." He added. "I'll keep your secret."

"Yeah, but that's the thing." Davina replied. "Marcel explained it to me before. A vampire has to have gained a lot of willpower to stave off being compelled to tell the truth. Especially by an Original." She shrugged. "Unless they have vervain on them."

Josh gulped.

"So, I won't remember any of this?" He asked. She shrugged again.

"What you will remember is that you've been turned, and prolly a hazy bit of the beginning of trying to serve Klaus and fool Marcel."

"Will I remember Hayley?" Josh asked.

"I don't know who that is."

"She's with the Mikaelsons and being used by them and the witches."

Davina straightened up.

"What is she?" She asked. It was Josh's turn to shrug.

"This werewolf girl."

"Why's she important?" Davina asked. Josh looked uncertain.

"I don't want to make more of a mess than there already is with these people." He replied. "If the chick got caught in the crossfire I don't think I could forgive myself." Davina nodded.

"Of course, yeah. You don't have to tell me any more." She looked away.

"Besides, it's kind of nice just to talk to someone normal again." Josh replied.

"You think I'm normal?" Davina wowed.

"Not in the usual sense, of course not. Unless there was a big thing in biology class I missed." He reasoned, earning a laugh. "But, someone that doesn't have some kind of ulterior motive."

"I'm a sixteen year-old witch, living in a church attic like some kind of freak." Davina challenged.

"Yeah well, I'm a gay club kid whose best friend turned on him the minute she had to choose between him and immortality." He replied. "And she threw in some choice insults along the way." He shivered at the memory. Davina stared at him in sympathy.

"I'm sorry." She said honestly. He shrugged.

"I don't think you'd be too surprised at how close-minded everyone can be." Josh replied.

"Yeah, that's true." Davina admitted. Josh stared at her. She nodded. "When I ended up with this power to erase a sirebond, my mother chose to sacrifice me to this superstition instead of saving my life."

"Ooof. Yeah, I think we're even." Josh replied, both of them chuckling. "Normal is kind of relative."

"Well," Davina said, getting up to sit on her knees. "How about the next time you run into Marcel you get some vervain?" She offered.

"I guess...that would be super nice and all, but what is it?" He asked.

"It's this naturally growing herb the witches use. It keeps you from ever getting compelled to do something." She explained. He grinned.

"Nice." Josh wowed. Davina chuckled. "Yeah, definitely. Maybe if you think it's safe, Marcel could remind me about you once he gives me the vervain."

Davina's jaw dropped.

"You, wanna do that?" She asked. He nodded with a shrug.

"Yeah, why not?" He tilted his head in a reasoning gesture. "You're the only friend I've made since I turned, after all."

Davina grinned.

Elijah got himself off the bed Rebekah had forced him to lay down on and took in the rest of the place Hayley had been held in.

"Perhaps we should find another hovel." He offered, looking back at the women. "I wouldn't want Hayley to have to relive what she experienced in here."

Hayley smiled at the gesture.

"I doubt we'd find another little hut that hadn't been destroyed today. Or since Marcel sent his vampire minions out wolf hunting." Rebekah answered, trying to shepherd him back to sitting down. He gently knocked her hand aside, playing with a vase's handle in the corner.

"Am I the only one worried about Elijah's wound right now?" Hayley asked cautiously, looking between the Originals. "Elijah's been bitten by our lovely brother before. It's only an affliction and it'll pass. But it'll pass like a kidney stone." Rebekah replied.

"Like Niklaus, it's more of a nuisance than anything." Elijah agreed. He wondered why Caroline hadn't turned back for Hayley, no doubt Hayley was thinking the same. But he realized Klaus knew how volatile he was in this condition. Klaus took Caroline to protect her, and Caroline had left Hayley to protect her. He was beginning to think Caroline could after all be trusted.

"I am gonna need a ride back at some point." Hayley replied, smiling at him.

"Yes, well." Rebekah looked at her. "There is still a car out there." She reasoned.

Elijah shrugged. "I feel it would be best to be away from the general public until it heals." He decided. "That and you told me about Tyler mentioning your family."

Hayley opened her mouth in protest as Rebekah looked to her.

"All he said was the wolf could've been one I once knew. That doesn't mean it's true. Or that he has anything to do with my family."

"Is your family the reason Tyler had no qualms in taking you?" Rebekah asked.

"Yeah, I uh," Hayley cleared her throat. "I'd traded information with Klaus. He gives me information on my family, I gave him the info on where Tyler's pack of hybrids that Klaus turned were."

"And do you still care at all about their whereabouts?" Rebekah asked in turn.

"Not really." Hayley admitted. Elijah looked at her. "After the witches took me, I figured it was not worth the trouble to track them down anymore." Hayley glanced up at the shocked faces. "The looking caused me more heartache than the knowing I was abandoned."

Rebekah looked at her in sympathy, and decided to drop the subject. It wouldn't do to have two people in pain to look after.

"Perhaps the ones you were trying to find are all the family you have left." Elijah offered. "And finding them will give you some modicum of peace."

Hayley watched him. "You're thinking about Klaus?"

"Perchance, I was too willing to condemn him." Elijah admitted, glancing at his sister. Rebekah watched him. "In the thousand years we've been together, out of all my family, my brother has committed the most unspeakable acts." He shrugged. "But then again, so has she." He looked at Rebekah. "So have I." He looked at Hayley.

"So have I, last time I was in Cabo." Hayley replied. While Elijah stared at her in confusion, Rebekah looked at them with irony.

"Look at us," She sighed. "The Amityville Breakfast Club."

Hayley chuckled.

Elijah went to the bed, his balance beginning to waver. Hayley's eyes glued to him, holding his arm.

"We've all done bad things." She defended. "Just, usually the rest die before the list gets embarrassing."

Rebekah watched her.

"It's like a friggin' hotbox," Hayley said, standing up. She looked a little unsteady on her feet. "I'm gonna get some air."

The blonde opened the door for her, and kept it open with her foot.

Hayley stopped short on the porch, and there was a thick book, that looked pretty old. Rebekah looked up and around, but no one was to be seen.

Hayley grabbed the book at looked at it.

"Looks like an, old bible." Hayley murmured. "People would put their family tree in the front page, like a portable crest or something."

She opened it.

Elijah soon joined them.

"What is it?" He prompted.

"Someone, left this here." Hayley replied. She leafed through the front of the book. The beginning before the prologue pages went on for at least ten pages.

"This looks like the tree went back for generations." Rebekah noted.

Hayley came to the last written on page.

Andrea Lebonair.

"Who's Andrea Lebonair?" Elijah asked, sounding a little on-guard.

Hayley looked at the name above. Craig Lebonair, born November 1st, 1977. Her father, information that took her five years to track down.

"I think that's me." She said in awe, sitting down. "June 6th is my birthday."

Klaus took a look out at the city, tasting the bourbeon on his tongue more thoughtfully than the past few months. He hadn't had a row with his family for at least that long. Rebekah being back, he had to do all of his thinking internally, figure out his next move. What he could do to shape his plans differently, in order to convince Caroline not to give up. On him. He knew that she had gained enough of the young wolf's trust, that if need be, she'd go with her wherever Caroline thought was safe.

Perhaps...

Caroline had gone to her room as soon as she was able. No doubt to think, just as he was. He just hoped he'd have a good answer for her before she had the question.
