Violet was being transported in her most favorite place, the bayou. She would have rather been in a fancy car driven by the Strix or even a train but on foot through the mud was the way to go. The person with her had to keep an eye on her even though she didn't see the point. She kept looking over at the red haired girl who was accompanying her. Wishing she could get out of her sights, she couldn't even if she tried. Tristan made sure that she would be unescapable with the vervain chains on her ankles and wrists. Violet didn't really want to start conversation with her but the silence was beginning to get to her.

"So...Are you another member of this dreadful Strix group?"

The girl had just gave her the side eye and didn't say anything. She looked as thrilled as she was but she could have been a bit nicer. A couple more minutes of no noise but the swamp, she spoke up again.

"Tristan's a pretty cool guy huh? I mean, he parades around with a suit and thinks he's Brad Pitt with his confidence pouring out of him. Ever date him?"

The vampire turned to look at her with an eyebrow raised. "I'd watch your tongue speaking about a vampire who is much older than you. And no, dating my brother would be against the rules, wouldn't it?"

Violet had stopped realizing that she was the sister he had spoken of before. "So you're the psychotic sister that I had to hear about for a day and a half…You two really don't look alike, you should be lucky"

It was now her turn to stop and look behind her shoulder. She slammed the younger vampire against an aging tree. Violet had gritted her teeth as the bark dug into her back on top of the burning of the chains. "I for one am not psychotic, maybe a little but my dear brother tends to exaggerate things. I'd prefer you call me Aurora and if you decide to insult any of us again, I don't think you'll make it out of her alive. Do I make myself clear?"

Violet stared into her eyes in surprise and nodded slowly. Aurora had let go of her and Violet tried to fix herself in her dress. That was one thing she wished Tristan would have did, gave her clothes to change into. She was constantly trying to tuck the dress in the chains so she wouldn't ruin in. She politely smiled at the elder who glanced down towards her feet. "Oh, it looks like I maybe have gotten a little mud on the side…" She bent down to help fix the dress to Violet's confusion.

Watching her movements, she was cautious not understand what this girl was up to. Offering a bright smile, Aurora had linked arms with her and began to drug her through the swamp.

"So uh…Where am I going anyway?" She thought it would be safe to play nice for the mean time.

"It's a surprise, do you like surprises Violet? I mean, I know the things my brother had surprised you with. And your boyfriend too, he did play a part in this as much as everyone else"

Violet had turned to look at her and Aurora's smile had slowly faded. "Oh, you didn't know? Hate to break the news to you but he was worried about you after everything that's been going on so Tristan thought it would be nice to talk with you. Long story short, Marcel said he'd handle it but never did so he took it upon himself to take you in. My brother can be insensitive sometimes; did he treat you okay at least?"

"Wait a minute, what does this have to do with Marcel?

"I told you, you were supposed to be handled but he failed to do so. See, the Strix are a bunch of annoying vampires who never invited me in just like you. They make their own rules with members and all that stuff. But my brother can be so overprotective on things…I'm sure you've heard stories of what I went through. After all, taking you in had a goal to it"

Narrowing her eyes, she glanced around the scenery and then to the ground. She didn't even know Aurora or who she basically was. Could she be telling the truth or just trying to stir the pot? Aurora was even looking around but not in the same direction. Violet had no idea what was even going on.

"I know how it feels by the way" Aurora had caught the questioning glance. "To be betrayed by the person you love, I've spent a thousand years from my true love but once again I'll see him, it will be only a matter of time. Speaking of which, I know your history with him. I have to admit that I'm quite jealous of the relationship you've had with him"

Violet once again held her breath wanting to say something but she didn't want it to come off the wrong way. She didn't know who Aurora was talking about knowing that it couldn't have been Marcel or she would have known about her. She wasn't sure if it was Lucien or possibly a Mikaelson brother.

"I'm sorry but I don't understand who you are talking about"

"Oh yes you do, think long and hard about it. Nik and I have always had a special connection and it's a shame we didn't get more time together. I will though once I see him again, he is my one true love even if Tristan disapproves" Aurora held both of them to a stop and looked at her. "You don't love him anymore, do you?"

Looking over at her, Aurora had a solid look on her face. There was no emotion compared to how she was just speaking. It was already awkward being buddy buddy with her but what was with all the personal questions?

"No, I was never in love with Klaus so I don't know what's making you think that"

"I know how close you two were, I'm sure you two had gotten closer through the whole phase you went through. But I'm glad because if you were, I'd have no problem tearing you to shreds and throwing you back in that river. Sometimes I get a temper" Once again she had brightened up. "Oh, we're here by the way, do you like your new home?"

Violet had nodded faintly taking the threat it before looking in front of her. She saw people all gathered around staring at her not saying a word. As the girls moved in the Bayou village sooner, she noticed that it had to be the Bienvenue werewolves. No one moved as they all watched silently as Aurora guided her to a little home. Hating the swamp as it was, now she had to stay in one but there was a plus side at least. She could find the person she was looking for this whole time.

Marcel had checked his watch at it had been ten minutes since Aya had went to find Tristan. He had wanted to talk to him about Violet desperate to good her back. It wasn't about him saving himself from Freya's wrath, it was all about getting her back in one piece. He believed Tristan wouldn't try to do anything to harm her considering that he was a member of the Strix and killing her would obviously withdraw him from the group. He had been on edge for the last two days worried about her.

"Ah Marcel, what a surprise. Aya had said you wanted to speak with me"

"Yeah, I want Violet back"

He had turned around to face him as Tristan was first seen without his suit jacket on. He stared at him for a moment before speaking. "I'm sorry to break the news to you but she isn't here"

Slowly glaring, Marcel took a step closer to the elder vampire. "Look, I know she's here. I'll search this entire place if I have to but I thought I'd ask nicely"

"I said she isn't here. I had let her go after our little chat so you'd have to find her yourself"

Tristan had politely smiled and that set Marcel off inside but refused to show it. He knew he was lying; she wouldn't have left and never came back. Even if she went back home to Georgia she had always said her goodbyes and still kept in little touch. He knew that it wasn't like her to disappear unless there was only one reason.

"So what did you talk to her about? I told her I'd speak with her about your wolves"

"Oh I just wanted to more about her and her true nature. I was curious to see to what a Ripper had looked like considering that I've never seen one before. As you can see the Strix are well mannered and I believed she needed a lesson etiquette. But believe me Marcel; she had received the very best of everything"

He had blinked a few times processing the information through. So that was Tristan's true goal of out of the whole thing, to get Violet back to being a Ripper. Either way, Marcel would lose in the end knowing that he'd have to take care of her as always. He knew that she couldn't help it when she'd fall back into that but that wasn't an excuse for her. He had always been the one who had taken care of her when the blood lust took over.

"Ripper, right so you think it's alright to turn my girlfriend into a Ripper?"

"Now I didn't say that, I was just curious to see what a vampire with a hunger so strong would do. I was merely trying to find out more information about her to see if she was going to be a threat or not"

"What Violet does is her business and ours alone. I take care of her when she goes off the edge and it's no one else's place to do so. I keep her in line and in check, I'm the one who is the person she runs to when she needs help. Stay out of our business"

Marcel had walked past him and bumped his shoulder hard. It was more of his concern that she would be okay especially falling back to being a Ripper. When Klaus had taken her in once she first turned, he had been so wrapped in Rebekah that he let Klaus get away with murder, figuratively and literally. That was one thing that had always haunted him, knowing that she would be on her own and with no one to help her. It was the same with Davina even though he considered Violet more of a sister than a daughter. Davina had always told him to stop hovering and it was the same thing with her.

Tristan had been bumped against the table and caught his balance once Marcel had brushed past him. He laughed faintly before watching him.

"I tried my best to help her just like I have helped my sister. We have a few things in common Marcel"

He had stopped to glance over his shoulder at him. Tristan had regained composure before speaking once more. "You're not going to find her"
