Elijah Mikaelson stood in the swamp of the Crescent Wolves. They walked among him and hardly paid any attention. Jackson was now dead due to the Strix and many of the wolves were lost. Hayley had vowed her revenge and to take over the pack for a moment. Without a pack leader, they were more open to attacks from others; mostly the Bienvenue's who wanted their pack gone. He had been dealing with his own issues but wouldn't let anyone see that. Elijah hadn't seen Gia for so long and he regretted leaving her behind. Violet had blamed herself for the last two days and spent most of them in the room her and Marcel shared. Alexander frequently popped up and sometimes following he or Klaus around. He didn't really understand why so he constantly disappeared before he could find him

They all were used to Elijah making visits especially when Hope was out there. He knew a way to get Violet out and a way to prove something that he realized days ago. He and Marcel began thinking the same thing and after a while they came to the same conclusion. Despite always sending Marcel to do his dirty work, Elijah knew it would be best to do this himself. Looking at little wooden cabin where the Thomas's once lived, he had to find someone to ask about their current residence. Once he found what he needed, he disappeared from the swamp and off into a wooded Seventh Ward neighborhood. The medium size white plantation was an upgrade but he still didn't understand why Violet chose to move the family. Moving up the stairs, Elijah knocked on the door and hope they were home. When the door opened, he saw Jake standing there in a pair of sweatpants.

"What a pleasant surprise. I came for a little chat so if you wouldn't mind throwing on a shirt and giving me an invitation"

Jake narrowed his eyes then glanced at the watch on his wrist. It was only eight in the morning and it was too early to deal with an Original. Jake knew that if any of them had to visit him, it was something important. He told Elijah to come in and escorted him to the den. He hadn't done any business with anyone since Hayley asked but everything happens for a reason.

"I don't want Amelia or the kids to hear, so what is it you want now?" He asked tossing on a t-shirt that he grabbed.

"Be bossy now are we?" Elijah questioned joking as he dug into his suit jacket. "I want you to look at this boy and tell me who he is"

He opened up the pictured and placed it on the coffee table. Jake had just sat down so he leaned forward to look at it. His face twisted in confusion and he looked up at the Original. "What do you want to know about a Bienvenue wolf?"

"If you wouldn't mind, I would just like to know what you have on him"

Elijah had sat down next to Jake and looked at him. "Well I don't know much except that his name is Aarick something. He isn't a wolf yet from what I have heard and he used to be a part of this pack. No one knows who his real parents are but rumor is they gave him up and some Bienvenue found him. What do you need on a sixteen year old?"

He nodded at everything he said and believed it. He liked going to Jake for answers because he was always gave honest answers and Elijah didn't have to threaten him. Maybe it was because they were the same age human wise and they got along on an older level.

"So you can confirm that he is a werewolf and not a vampire?"

Jake nodded. "Yeah, I just said that"

"Well it looks like someone has told Violet that this Aarick character is her brother Alexander and she seems to believe it. I wanted to prove to her that he isn't who he says he is. I believe that Tristan de Martel had sent him to spy on the vampire couple. If you wouldn't mind coming with me for proof"

It took about a half hour for the two to get back to the Quarter. Vampires were coming in and out constantly and Elijah was relieved that Alexander or should he say Aarick was around. Marcel's vampires were giving Jake a curious looks and he kept his eyes to the ground. He scratched his head and tried to smooth his brown hair out but it was still messy from sleeping. Elijah led the wolf upstairs and knocked on the bedroom door. There was no answer but he knew Violet was in there. Trying the door knob, it was locked but with his strength he broke it easily. She was standing with a suitcase open and he assumed it was Tiana's. She looked over irritated as she folded a shirt.

"Didn't I say I didn't want to be bothered?" When Elijah walked in she didn't notice Jake. Once he stepped in the room her demeanor changed.

"We need to discuss a few things about this brother of yours"

"I sent him out a while ago so no, he won't be following you for a while. I had him drop something off for the witches and that was that"

Elijah put his hand in his pocket and huffed. The last thing he wanted was for the boy to be in on a plan of theirs. "He isn't your brother Violet. All of this is just a charade created by Tristan as a distraction or an attempt to find out more about you. There were so many inconsistences of his story he told and Jake here also knows the truth"

She looked like a deer caught in headlights and was caught completely off guard. "Haven't I had enough in the last few weeks?"

"I don't know much on the story but the possibility of Aarick being your biological brother isn't possible. The kid is not a vampire, he is a werewolf adopted by another pack"

Violet listened but never stopped with folding clothes. Elijah watched carefully but didn't say anything. He knew what it was like for Klaus to find out that Mikael wasn't his true Father. While being a vampire, you tend to lose whomever you love. Anyone that has no existing family would want them to be at their side. It was the same when Klaus told Marcel that little speech about if you have no family, you create your own. Yes, the Mikaelson siblings fought about everything but Elijah couldn't imagine going anywhere without them.

"Violet, I can only imagine what you must be thinking but you have to understand this threat he poses as. He has been listening in on what you and Marcel has been saying, planning. His story didn't even add up. Bourbon Street didn't burn, it was Royal. How could he have looked for you when the Opera House was burning when you had left nineteen years ago?"

She looked over her shoulder and them and still didn't say another. Violet tossed the dress she had in her hand and looked over at Jake. He was looking towards Elijah then realized she was staring at him. He cleared his throat and looked at her. She was waiting for him to say something and Elijah darted his eyes between them.

"Uh, I'm just here as backup so I don't know what vampire business is going on here. I just know that Aarick was adopted inside of the Bienvenue pack. His parents, well the ones who took him in have never told him, I don't think anyone ever has. He belongs to that pack which makes him now my enemy. I get that exs are exs and we had something going twenty some years ago but…" Jake had stopped talking and paused. He really didn't want to say something especially with Elijah there. "I don't want to be pulled into these things anymore. I get that I'm a good ally and part of Hayley's and Jackson's pack but I don't want to be in vampire business. What you guys do is your problem and with all these threats floating around. I don't want to be any part of it"

Elijah slowly nodded and understood what he meant. He could have easily asked Hayley if she knew anything but everyone was letting her have her space due to Jackson's unfortunate death. He knew Jake so it was better to go to someone you knew rather someone you didn't.

"So if he's not my brother…Why?" She shook her head while asking the question.

"That's what I'm trying to figure out. I already told you what the goal in all of this would be. You as the target seems a little confusing to me, I don't see why Aya wouldn't be the distraction. Why don't you and Marcellus head down to the swamp and take care of this little wolf problem?"

He had to give her credit seeing as she hadn't flipped out about the situation. Then again, was that a good or bad sign? Usually Violet was very vocal and open about whatever was going on. She would have an opinion and would share it even if no one asked. But the way her eyes lit up when he said about going to the Bayou was a different story. "Where is Marcel?"

Shrugging her shoulders she really didn't have an answer. She had remembered him saying something but she didn't really pay any attention.

"Jacob thank you your assistance and you can return home to your family" He nodded and started to leave when he heard Violet fall to her knees in pain. He turned around to look and she gripped her shoulder. Ripping her shirt off her shoulder, it looked inflamed and her veins were sticking out. Elijah bent down to look, nothing he had ever seen before.

Klaus could hear Marcel call his name out but he was stuck in the water. Marcel had sunk to his knees gripping his wrist as it turned bright red. Klaus tried his best to move but he was stuck by such force that no one could break it. He watched as the water began turning red and Davina chanted loudly. The pounding on the door from the Strix began pounding in his ears. He could feel something leave his pain, the pain it caused all the vampires. In that moment, he realized what she was doing; the sire line was going to be broken. Marcel attempted to get to his feet but only staggered. Elijah tried to help Violet but there was nothing he could do. The line was about to be broken and all of Klaus's vampires would be free.
