*Taylor, Jax and the kids made it to Louisiana safely. Taylor hated that she was back home for a funeral though. Kelly told Jax that she would keep an eye out on Clay when she could and she would watch the garage…Taylor finished curling her hair and sighed as she had to say bye to a friend*
Jax: Ready babe?
Taylor: No…*He held her hands*
Jax: I will be there every step of the way.
Taylor: What about the kids? I don't want them to know what happened to Aunt Bonnie. Or what if they ask about her?...*Jax sighed and rubbed her shoulders*
Jax: Babe, Abel and Thomas will know how it all works soon.
Taylor: Not yet. It's too soon. Abel is still so young.
Jax: Okay baby. Okay…*They looked to the window as they heard a knock*
Taylor: Pam?
Pam: I thought I could watch my nephews while you are at the funeral.
Taylor: But? You hate kids?
Pam: I love your kids…*Tara walked in with bags and Eric followed behind*
Taylor: What are you?
Eric: We are going to New Orleans with you.
Taylor: You don't have to.
Eric: We are going. I hope the funeral is lovely.
Taylor: I…Maybe I should just stay.
Jax: Babe, she is your best friend?
Taylor: Jax, I can't do this again and Bonnie…She and the kids…I…
Bonnie: They won't know and I will keep them safe…*Taylor teared up and Jax hugged her*
Jax: I know, I know…I got you…*Eric nodded at Taylor and she walked off with Jax*
Stefan: Hey, you made it…*Taylor smiled and they hugged tightly*
Taylor: I almost didn't come.
Stefan: Well, I'm happy you did and it's really good to see you. We will figure out a way to get her back. Promise…*Taylor nodded and Elena walked over*
Elena: It's good that you are here. We miss you so much.
Taylor: I miss you guys too. How are the girls?
Caroline: Wonderful and the boys?
Jax: Amazing…*Taylor smiled*
Damon: We know you can't stay long but we promise to fill you in every step of the way.
Taylor: I can talk to my Aunt Freya. See if she can get a feel for anything or if she knows anything.
Jeremy: Are…Are we ready?...*They all looked over at the tombstone and Taylor stopped breathing*
Jax: Breathe baby…*Taylor shook her head*...Let it out…*Taylor cried and Jax held her. Stefan held Caroline and Damon held Elena*
Bonnie: Thank you.
Jeremy: You ready for this?
Bonnie: No…*Enzo walked up with roses*...Enzo!
Jeremy: Whatever you want to say…I will pass it on…*Bonnie nodded and smiled*
Bonnie: Thank you…For everything. From your friendship to your love. Thank you…*Jeremey nodded and cleared his throat*
Taylor: Can you see her?
Jeremy: Yes and she is here…*Taylor smiled slightly*
Bonnie: Caroline, you have become this strong and fearless woman. You have become and grown into this wonderful mother and wife. You are my best friend and I am so grateful that we got to share so many moments together. You are an incredible person and I love you…Elena, you are the most compassionate person ever. Even as a vampire you still find a way to keep that part of you. You are strong no matter what happens and just promise me that you will be happy. I love you…Taylor, oh Taylor. You had enough pain to last you a lifetime. There is something those boys do to you though. There is light in your eyes at the thought of them or even when you look at them. I haven't seen that…Well, since Amber was alive…*Taylor started crying*...I need you to keep fighting and be happy. Know that your mother would be and is very proud of you. I love you and those boys. Make sure they know how much Aunt Bonnie loved them.
Taylor: I will.
Bonnie: My dearest love Enzo. You are by far the best thing that has ever happened to me. Enzo, you made me so happy…*Bonnie started crying*...This hurt so much and I am sorry that I'm not there…*Enzo started to cry*...But I need you to go and live. Be happy, I am with you and I love you. I love all of you.
Enzo: I love you more beautiful.
Bonnie: This is good. This is good Jeremy. I needed this…Thank you…*Jeremy nodded and held her hand. The girls hugged each other once they got back to the cars*
Elena: Promise you'll text us when you get to New Orleans.
Taylor: Promise…*Jax drove back home*
Jax: You okay?
Taylor: Actually…Yeah. For some reason that felt good. It felt good to know she was there. I know she's gone but it's like she's right here.
Bonnie: I sure am T…*They got the kids together and drove to New Orleans once nightfall hit. Taylor was happy they slept the whole way there*
Klaus: About time love. I thought you would have gotten here sooner.
Taylor: Bonnie's funeral.
Klaus: Right. My mother will pay for that.
Taylor: You darn right she will. Where is Rebekah and Freya?
Elijah: Out.
Taylor: Elijah!...*She ran to him and hugged him*
Elijah: I have missed you so much as well.
Klaus: I am your father remember.
Taylor: I talk to you almost everyday.
Elijah: Which is her way of saying she missed me more…*Taylor smiled*
Klaus: Eric, thank you for coming.
Eric: Of course.
Taylor: So what's the plan?...*Jax walked back down from putting Thomas down while Abel stayed with his mom*
Klaus: To kill my mother. Fin is dead.
Taylor: Since?
Elijah: Since Marcel killed him.
Taylor: What?
Klaus: Our mother gave him some type of potion. Makes his bite lethal to vampires…*Taylor eyed Eric as her worries went straight for him and he eyed her as well*
Jax: How is that even possible?
Elijah: Our mother is a crafty witch.
Jax: Can we stop her?
Klaus: Of course. Now we are trying to come up with a vaccine for whatever it is she did to Marcel. Hopefully get him on our side.
Taylor: And is there…A vaccine?
Elijah: I…No.
Taylor: Seriously!?
Klaus: Don't panic.
Taylor: Panic! My kids are here!...*Taylor made her eyes glow*
Elijah: Mikael is back.
Eric: And you told her to come down here? Why? This place is crawling with things that can kill her!?
Elijah: It's better if we are under one roof. We can keep each other safe this way…*Eric had to make his next words sound good*
Eric: He comes near her, the boys or Jax and he is dead…*Klaus nodded*
Klaus: By all means…Kill him anyway.
Hayley: Taylor…*Taylor turned around and they hugged*
Hope: Hi sissy…*Taylor smiled and bent down to Hope*
Taylor: Hello little one. You got so big.
Hayley: Abel, look at you. You got so big!...*Abel hid behind Jax's leg*...It's okay. I have lots of games for you to play…*Hayley held out her hand and Abel walked to her. Taylor smiled watching him walk away with Hayley*
Taylor: I have to shower. Feel like funeral.
Jax: I'll join you…*Taylor smiled. They hung out with the kids while the others came up with a plan. Kelly texted Taylor that she heard Clay. Clay helped Esther with Bonnie. They were getting desperate and spiraling. Klaus wanted Clay for helping his mother but Jax told Klaus that Clay was his. That he needed proof to even get him out of the president seat and it would take time….
The boys slept horrible last night. Jax and Taylor were off and on and she knew it was because they weren't home…So they finally got some sleep and Jax woke up to Abel trying to calm down Thomas*...Hey buddy…I got him. Come on. Let's get some breakfast and let mommy sleep…*Abel held his dads hand and they walked downstairs. Taylor sighed as she woke up and smiled hearing Abel laughing with Jax. She ran her fingers through her hair and walked downstairs*
Abel: MOMMY!
Taylor: Hey baby…*Abel ran to her and she picked him up. She kissed him and smiled seeing Thomas*...Good morning.
Jax: Good morning babe…*They kissed and Taylor looked around as the house was quiet*
Taylor: Where is e-...*Taylor looked over and saw them covered in dirt and blood. Her heart dropped as she saw blood on Eric*...What happened!?
Elijah: We got her.
Taylor: Who?...Esther?...*Eric nodded*...Without me?
Klaus: Love, we heard the boys last night and just figured they were trying to settle in. You were safe and so were the kids…*Taylor sighed and nodded. They looked over as they saw Marcel walk in and Taylor vamp sped to him*
Taylor: I should end your life!
Marcel: I know, I know. I'm sorry but I have some information. You all will want to hear it…*Klaus looked over and Jax sighed*
Hayley: I can take the boys with me…*Jax nodded and kissed his boys. Taylor handed Eric a blood bag and he nodded at her*
Taylor: Well?
Marcel: Remember Tristan?
Elijah: Vividly.
Marcel: Well, he is here and wants nothing more than to end your family.
Eric: I'm still stuck on why we are here? Ever since we stepped foot here. She and those kids have been in nothing but danger…*Klaus sighed and nodded at Marcel for him to keep going*
Marcel: I have been in with them to try and talk him out of it. Gaining their trust but…*Taylor's eyes glow and she growls. Eric held her arm to calm her down*
Jax: Don't we need him? I need him. He's been working with Clay.
Marcel: Right.
Klaus: Figure what is going on or a plan.
Eric: Until then we should lay low and be safe…*He looked at Taylor and she nodded…It's been a few days since Marcel had come and talked to them. Jax was doing the best he could with the club while being away. Taylor knew he had to go back soon and being here was not helping with Clay. Jax knew Taylor was stressed about her family drama and the kids. So he asked Freya about some spots around and planned a night out with his wife*
Jax: Are you almost ready baby?...*Taylor turned around and Jax smiled*...Really? Not the shirt…*Taylor smiled*
Taylor: I miss my old man…*He kissed her*
Jax: He's still here baby. Come on…*They kissed the boys as they were sleeping and walked downstairs*
Freya: Have fun, be careful and I have the boys.
Taylor: Thank you…*Freya nodded and Taylor held Jax's hand as they walked on the streets of New Orleans*
Eric: You see anything?...*Eric looked at the blonde that just walked passed him*
Pam: Focus.
Eric: Oh, I am…*Pam smiled and shook her head*
Hayley: Nothing. This is just a regular party. Anyone see him?
Elijah: No. Keep your eyes out.
Jax: Here okay babe?
Taylor: Yes. It looks…Wild inside…*Jax smiled and Taylor groaned as his phone rang*
Jax: Sorry baby. Yeah mom?...*She held his hand and leaned her head on his chest. Jax kissed her head and wrapped his arm around her shoulders*
Gemma: Hey baby. Just checking in. You okay?
Jax: Yeah. All good…*Gemma sighed*
Gemma: Listen…I.
Jax: This about the club?
Gemma: No?
Jax: Okay then. The boys are fine, my wife is fine and I am fine. It can wait until I get back home.
Gemma: But?...*Jax sighed in annoyance*
Jax: What is it? Since this can't wait.
Gemma: Wendy has been…
Taylor: Seriously…
Jax: Have to go…*Jax hung up and kissed Taylor*...Better?
Taylor: Very…*He opened the door for her and they walked inside the bar. Eric walked inside the compound and didn't smell Taylor*
Eric: Where is she?
Freya: Jax and her went out?...*He sighed and called Klaus. Freya stood up as she saw Eric panicking*...Eric?
Eric: She isn't here.
Klaus: What?
Marcel: It's not safe.
Freya: What is happening? I thought Tristan was at the party?
Marcel: No. He hasn't been here all night. It's a distraction…
Eric: Did she say where she was going Freya?...*She shook her head no because she didn't know which place Jax had picked. It was a surprise and she felt awful. If she knew that Taylor would have been in danger…She would have told him to stay in for the night.
Hayley: Pam you go meet with Eric and split up…*Pam ran off and Freya looked at the sleeping boys. Taylor groaned as she grabbed her head and Jax held her up*
Jax: Babe? You okay?
Taylor: I don't know?
Jax: Come on. Let's go get some air…*He helped her outside and she yelled in pain*...Taylor!
Taylor: Make it stop…*She gasped as she saw Jax's body fall as his neck got snapped*...Jax?
Tristan: Taylor in the flesh…*He nodded at his men and the men snapped her neck*
Marcel: Did Taylor come in here? Jax and her?
Cami: No. I haven't seen her…*Klaus sighed and balled his fist*
Klaus: Are you sure Cami? Please…If you know anything?
Cami: No. I'm sorry.
Klaus: If you happen to see her or Jax. Call us…Please…*Cami nodded and Marcel patted Klaus's back as they walked out of the bar…Jax groaned as he woke up, feeling his neck heal and looked over at Taylor*
Jax: B…Babe?
Tristan: Hello there…*Jax looked at the man who was about his height, with dark brown hair and had this smug look on his face. Like he had won the war and was already to celebrate*
Jax: Who are you?
Tristan: I am your father in law's worst nightmare but you may call me Tristan.
Klaus: Freya…Please tell me you got something?
Freya: I…I.
Eric: You what!?
Pam: Eric.
Eric: No. You find her! Do you hear me! Find her NOW!...*Pam could see Eric's worry. He was spiraling and he felt like he was about to be in the same boat again. If he lost her, Eric…Eric would lose everything*...You brought her down here to be killed!
Klaus: I did no such thing. You are the one who let her go! None of this would be happening if you would have kept her!...*Eric hissed his fangs at Klaus*
Freya: ENOUGH! We are worried about her and Jax…*Taylor groaned in pain as she felt her wrist burning with wolfsbane. She felt the ropes burning her skin and groaned more as she came to her senses*
Taylor: Wha…What is this?...*She looked over at Jax*...Jax!
Tristan: Finally.
Taylor: Who the hell are you?
Tristan: Your father has a lot to pay for.
Taylor: Let us go…*Taylor tried to get free*
Tristan: We drained you. Making you weaker and the wolfsbane won't help anymore as well.
Taylor: Let us go!
Tristan: I believe we haven't truly met yet. I didn't know Klaus had a daughter…Well. Not two at least. I am a long lost friend of your father…*Jax raised an eyebrow*
Jax: You just said you were his worst nightmare?
Taylor: What is this?
Tristan: Your father will pay for what he did to my sister. His family…The whole family. Nothing but…A bunch of mangy dogs and sickening vampires…*He saw her eyes glow and he smiled*...Hit a nerve did I?...What do you think will become of your children?
Jax: You touch them and I will personally kill you and your monkeys myself.
Tristian: Was that a threat?
Jax: You can bet your old vampire ass that it was…*Tristan nodded his head at one of his men and Taylor screamed as she saw him rip out Jax's heart*
Taylor: NO! JAX! NOOO! OH MY GOSH! JAX! NO! NO!...*She started crying hysterically*
Eric: I…I can feel her.
Freya: GO!...*They ran off and it was quiet. Eric could hardly feel her until Hayley hit the corner*
Hayley: There's nothing h-...Klaus…*Klaus and Eric walked over. They saw Jax's heart ripped out and Taylor crying tied up*
Eric: Love…*They all looked stunned. Like they couldn't process what was happening and Eric knew Taylor would be gone in a matter of moments. Eric untied her and helped her up. She fell back down and he caught her. Hayley covered her mouth as she watched and Klaus looked away as he felt tears run down his face*...I got you love…*Eric picked her up in bridal style*
Taylor: Get his body…*Klaus went to say something and Hayley stopped him. Klaus grabbed Jax and they walked back to the compound. The only thing they heard was Taylor crying. No music, no cheers, nothing as they walked the streets of New Orleans. It was heartache and knew that the ripper was bound to make an appearance. Hayley walked in first*
Hayley: Get the boys upstairs…Now.
Elijah: Wha…Oh my…*Rebekah vamp sped the boys upstairs. Klaus laid Jax on the couch and Taylor fell onto his body. Pam looked away as she heard her sisters sobs*
Taylor: Jax!
Klaus: Taylor…I…*Taylor looked at him with her wolf eyes and Eric felt her rage*
Taylor: He will pay and will suffer…*Klaus nodded*...For now I have to get…*She looked at Jax again and cried*...I have to get him back to Charming.
Eric: You want me with you?
Taylor: I…If you aren't there. I'll lose it…*Eric nodded and Klaus covered up Jax as Taylor slowly looked away from him*
