ORIGINALS

Blair arrived at the Bayou with an unconscious Carlos. It hadn't taken her long to arrive at the specified location but it felt like she had missed a lot because the scene she walked into was a spectacle. In the middle of the clearing was a beat-up Francesca and the rest of her brothers, except Carlos and the one she had just killed. Surrounding the clearing were the Wolves as well as the Originals, Davina and Raphael. From the atmosphere that Blair had just walked into, she could tell that this was no longer an interrogation but an execution.

Elijah was the first to spot her, "Did you bring him?" He asked, immediately noticing the bloody marks on her top and finding himself unhappy. He could not smell her blood but the holes in her shirt were similar to bullet holes and this concerned him.

As a response, Blair threw Carlos into the clearing for everyone to see.

The moment Francesca saw her older brother, she started to cry and call out his name but Carlos didn't respond as he was unconscious. He wouldn't wake up until Blair commanded it and it wasn't time yet.

"We're missing one," Klaus commented with a scowl. He wanted all of the Guerrera's to suffer and he was missing one. He refused to repeat the same mistake that Marcel had made by missing one, even if it was an infant

"No, we're not," Blair answered him, making everyone look in her direction, "One of her brothers ambushed me when I was spelling the stones. He's now dead," The smirk that Blair gave was nothing short of malicious.

Francesca let out a pained cry, feeling the loss of her eldest brother, Antonio. She could see by the smug Fae's expression that her brother was dead and dearly wished her family had dealt with the Fae when they had the chance. Francesca glared at Blair in hatred, but Blair's smirk just grew wider, revelling in Francesca's pain.

Klaus smirked, "Having fun without us, are we?"

"It was self-defence. He had iron bullets," Blair shrugged her shoulders in nonchalance but on the inside, she was seething. The bullets had hurt and were unusual as bullets were not typically made from iron as it was too brittle. But someone had specially made these bullets to deal with her kind and made Blair angsty.

"Nevertheless, shall we begin?" Elijah cut in, looking between his brother and Blair.

"We shall," Klaus said as he snapped his fingers, instantly caused the Crescent Wolves to advance. While they were in their human forms, they were no less deadly with their anger and thirst for vengeance.

The human pack surrounded the Guerrera's and attacked without hesitation. Members of the pack held up the Guerrera's, restraining them and began a brutal attack on them. Jackson was particularly vicious, not holding back his punches as his fists nearly caved in a man's head through his sheer strength. It was a full moon later that night so the pack was feeling the jitters for what was to come and their adrenaline was through the roof. This was the reason tonight was chosen as the night of the attack as the Crescent Wolves would have the advantage over the Guerrera's.

The first Guerrera to die was Domonique, the youngest of the bunch. The pack had shown him no mercy, his face was black, blue and swollen beyond recognition. Once the pack had toyed with him enough, Oliver had been the one to snap Domonique's neck and then he was thrown to the ground like trash. Oliver was there to get his revenge against the family that tricked him against his pack. He had only been allowed to join in by the skin of his teeth and because Eve had begged on his behalf for mercy. The next of the Guerrera line to die was Benito. His death was not a quick one as every bone in his body was snapped in several places and the Wolves allowed him no chance to pass out from the pain, slapping him awake every time he attempted to nod off. It was actually Eve who gave the killing blow on Benito, whether it was on purpose or accidental but now she has activated her curse, meaning she would turn into a Werewolf for the first time tonight.

As Blair watched, she mentally reminded herself to give Eve a moonlight stone. That woman deserved one after everything she had been through.

It was Carlos that was last to die out of the brothers. Blair had woken him up using her magic as she didn't want him missing out on the fun. Jackson had been the one to give the killing blow, caving Carlos' head in with multiple punches. Blood was pouring out of every hole on Carlos' face. It was so thickly caked with blood that it took Blair a few moments to realise that it was actually Carlos. However, even though he was already dead, Jackson did not stop his assault, seeming to not know that he had killed the man – or he just didn't care. It took a few people to rip Jackson away from the bloodied body but once he was removed, Jackson seemed to calm down significantly and then all eyes turned on Francesca.

Francesca had watched this all happen, screaming out all the names of her siblings. She had screamed so much that her voice was hoarse and her throat raw. She had watched as all her brothers had been brutally killed, killed in ways that were so horrific and were ingrained in her brain evermore. While she never saw Antonio's death, she hoped it wasn't as bad as her other brothers' deaths as she didn't know if her heart could take that horror.

"And then there was one," Klaus commented with his arms crossed. He, Elijah and Blair had watched the entire scene, watching everything unfold at such a fast pace. Klaus had known the Crescent Wolves were out for blood but seeing it in action was another thing altogether. It had been glorious to watch and Klaus found himself enjoying this moment.

Francesca let out a whimper. It was such a low sound that Blair nearly missed it but she still heard it nonetheless. Blair could even hear the human's heart frantically beat in her chest, giving away just now nervous she was.

Jackson turned to Klaus and glared, "She's ours,"

"That's wasn't part of the agreement," Elijah cut in, levelling Jackson with a stern gaze. A verbal agreement had been drawn up between the two factions. For their assistance in everything, Klaus and Elijah had wanted one thing; Francesca. They wanted to be the ones to kill her and the pack had agreed with this. To see Jackson attempting to renege on this deal annoyed Elijah and found his respect for the Alpha diminishing.

"It's obvious they've forgotten their place," Klaus said with a feral grin, "After all, it was us that offered them a chance to be free of their curse, and to what thanks?"

Jackson growled lowly in the back of his throat. His form was tenser than before as his whole pack began muttering to themselves, not feeling confident anymore. They had all agreed that they wouldn't allow Klaus or Elijah to boss them around as they weren't the Alpha of the pack.

Klaus looked to Blair, "You finished the moonlight rings, did you not?"

Blair nodded her head, "Twelve stones have been charmed and I can easily make more," Her eyes scanned the area and found every unshifted Wolf looking at her. In some of their eyes, there was hope but also apprehension.

Jackson deflated slightly at this news, "If we give you Francesca, we will all be given rings," Jackson demanded, attempting to assert his dominance on the situation.

Blair mentally commended him, not many would try and do this to Klaus or Elijah.

However, it seemed as though Klaus did not share her same admiration, "You will get a ring when I say," Klaus hissed lowly, irritation in his voice. The Wolf inside him did not take this challenge lightly and he found himself wanted to kill Jackson for this defiance. While Klaus may not have a conventional pack, he was Alpha.

Remaining silent, Blair couldn't help but inwardly smirk. Yes, Klaus could give out the rings to whoever he pleased, but Blair had put her own stamp on it. At her command, she could simply unspell the stones so then it was just a pretty rock. It was a failsafe in case something happened, like if the Wolves decided to take over New Orleans. However, she wouldn't reveal this titbit of information because she didn't want Klaus to know just yet. Though, she would find his reaction very amusing when it happened.

Clearing his throat, Elijah stepped forward, "You have all had your fun, now it is our turn," He said, looking down at the dead bodies of the Guerrera's. He had been patient but even he was starting to feel a little exasperated at the situation. The Wolves were getting greedy and he refused to let them overindulge.

With a clenched jaw, Jackson had no choice and backed down, even though his inner Wolf was roaring at him not to. When he stepped back, so did the rest of his pack. Now there were no issues, Klaus walked forward until he was in front of Francesca. She attempted to crawl backwards but Elijah appeared behind her, blocking the exit. The pack circled the area, all eager to watch Francesca's execution since they couldn't participate.

"Killing me will resolve nothing," Francesca said, her heart pumping rapidly in her chest.

"That is where you are mistaken," Elijah answered her, meeting her eyes unflinchingly, "It will make everyone happier if you die," This activity of hunting the Guerrera family down had united two factions – maybe three factions as the humans were not happy about the attempts on Father Kieran's life. This was the first time Vampires and Werewolves were on the same side, but hopefully not the last.

Klaus smirked widely, "My brother is right. But I am feeling rather parched, care to share?" Without waiting for a reply, Klaus went in for the kill. He roughly grabbed Francesca by the shoulders and yanked her up. He then savagely bit into her neck, not caring when she shrieked out in pain as her neck was torn to pieces. Klaus drank violently from Francesca, taking long sporadic gulps of the blood. Francesca attempted to fight but found that she didn't have the strength to combat against the Original Hybrid. After a few seconds, Francesca's face became pale and ashen, proving just how much Klaus had drunk. Just as Francesca was about to pass out, Klaus withdrew his fangs but held onto the woman.

"Nothing better than a hearty meal," Klaus smirked with blood all over his face.

Elijah rolled his eyes and removed his handkerchief from his breast pocket. "Do not be so unsightly, Niklaus," He handed his brother the handkerchief and watched as Klaus wiped away all the blood. Elijah hated it when any of his siblings drank chaotically, even hated it when he was human. The worst offender was Kol, but Elijah also understood that this messiness was more show than anything so he didn't complain too much.

"Just kill me," Francesca whispered weakly.

"Oh, you will die, there is no doubt about that," Klaus replied back, tightening his hold on the woman. "But let's not forget Elijah," Just as he finished speaking, Francesca let out a pained screamed as a hand forced itself into her chest cavity from behind.

Blair watched with a blank expression as Elijah pulled out Francesca's heart and let it fall to the ground. The Guerrera family was well and truly dead. Everyone single was one of them was dead and there was no way that one of them for away. Blair looked around and realised that she couldn't sense Raphael or Davina. She realised she had been so absorbed in this drama, they had slipped her mind.

'Raphael, where are you and Davina?' Blair asked through their connection.

His reply was fairly quick, 'I and Davina are back at the compound. We left when you arrived. I didn't think you wanted Davina seeing what was about to happen,'

Looking around the scene before her, she watched as some of the Crescent Wolves began pulling the dead bodies in one place, planning to burn them. This was so there would be no evidence of what went down. No doubt the disappearance of Francesca and her family would be hot news and so it was best to cover their tracks. However, if any humans did cotton on, compulsion always came in handy. 'Good call,' Blair answered back. The massacre of the Guerrera line had been bloody and brutal, there was no way she wanted Davina to see that, she had already been through so much. 'How is she?'

'She's fine,' Raphael answered back, 'But…'

Blair frowned when the connection stalled for a moment. Raphael had never done this before and it made her curious to know what had distracted him. For a moment, Blair thought that something had happened to Davina and this made her concerned but luckily, she wasn't left in the dark too long as Raphael's voice in her mind came back.

'Blair, you and the Mikaelson's should come back, now,' Raphael's voice was slightly urgent, putting her on edge.

'What happened?' Blair asked immediately.

Raphael's reply was instantaneous, 'It's Hayley. She's gone into labour,'

Blair mentally cursed loudly, 'I'll be there as soon as I can,' Hayley was not meant to give birth yet, she was only eight months pregnant, she had another month to go. Blair rationalised that the early labour had to be due to stress as everything had been hectic over the past few months and it had finally affected her. Cutting off the connection with Raphael, Blair walked over to Klaus and Elijah, almost nervous to give them the news. For Klaus, this would be a big moment for him as he would become a father. Hopefully, he would deal with this news well. "We need to head back to the compound, now," Blair said when she was close enough.

Klaus looked to her, "Why ruin the moment, love? We're celebrating," He had an almost drunk expression on his face, no doubt on a high from what happened.

Sensing something was wrong, Elijah frowned, "What's happened?"

"Hayley's in labour," Blair answered bluntly.

Klaus' eyes widened and he paled instantly. "W-what?"

"Are you sure?" Elijah asked.

Blair nodded her head, "Raphael and Davina are back in the compound, he contacted me to let me know,"

"Shit," Klaus cursed before he stormed off, heading in the direction of the compound. There was no way he was going to miss the birth of his child. His speed increased until he appeared as though he was a blur.

Without saying a word, Elijah and Blair followed very closely behind. Elijah had wordlessly wrapped his arms around Blair and ran off after his brother. He was aware that Blair was not as fast as a Vampire and had no intentions of leaving her behind. Blair said nothing, but her face was flushed and she refused to look in Elijah's direction.

ORIGINALS

It took a few moments to arrive back at the Abattoir. The moment they had, Klaus had burst into their home, screaming Hayley's name at the top of his lungs. There was a faint yell from upstairs, coming from Hayley's room. Racing over, Klaus, Elijah and Blair wasted no time entering her room and saw Raphael with Hayley but no Davina. At that moment, Blair wasn't focused on Hayley, but Davina's magical signature that she could feel in the room. The young Witch had managed to pull down the protection spells she had placed around Hayley's room and for a moment, she couldn't help but be proud. However, she wasn't allowed to dwell on this pride as Hayley let out a loud shriek of pain.

"How long has she been like this?" Elijah asked, looking to Raphael, who was holding Hayley's hand.

Raphael turned to them, "I and Davina only arrived around an hour ago, but she started screaming around thirty minutes ago," He had been trying to coach Hayley through the pain but he had no idea what he was doing. He had never been around someone who was in labour, Fae births were very far and few in-between and so he had zero experience.

"Hayley, how long have you been like this?" Blair asked, approaching Hayley's other side.

Hayley grunted in pain, "A few hours," At first, she thought that the baby was just kicking but the pain soon became so severe that she knew there was no way it could be that. After that, her water broke and then she couldn't move with the pain.

"A hospital! We need to get her to a hospital," Klaus shouted out, panicked at the prospect of becoming a father far sooner than planned.

Raphael winced when Hayley's grip became painful, "That's probably not the best option," Having a supernatural baby in a human hospital was not advisable. There would be too many people to compel if something happened and Hayley was in no condition to be moved anywhere.

Silently agreeing with the male Fae, Blair cast a small spell, one that would relieve Hayley of some of the pain she was experiencing. As soon as the spell was cast, Hayley's form relaxed and so did her grip on Raphael's hand.

"Eve would know what to do," Hayley said, her voice no longer strained from the pain.

Elijah looked to Raphael, "Can you fetch Eve from the Bayou, please?"

Wordlessly, Raphael nodded his head and unlatched Hayley's hand from his. Klaus immediately took his place, grabbing Hayley's hand. While she may be strong, she was not stronger than him and wouldn't crush his hand, unlike the poor male Fae. The moment Hayley felt Klaus' hand, she glared at him and seemed ready to snap his neck but decided against it. Instead, she gripped his hand extra hard, wanting to break his hand. For once, Klaus decided to remain silent, not questioning her animosity.

Davina walked back into the room, with towels in hand and a jug of hot water. "I grabbed some things that Hayley may need," She placed them down on the side, where they were easily accessible.

Blair arched a brow, "How do you know what is needed?"

"The internet," Davina shrugged her shoulders, feeling calmer now other people were there. When it had just been her, Raphael and Hayley, the young Witch nearly had a panic attack. If Raphael hadn't been there, Davina didn't know what she would have done. After getting her bearings back, she had done a quick search on the internet and found some things that Hayley would need. She had been tempted to use the pain relief spell Blair had taught her but she was far too nervous in case something went wrong.

Blair pursed her lips but didn't say anything more on the matter.

Elijah eyed the jug of hot water and towels. "We will need more than that. Also, Hayley will need to switch clothing," He looked at the jeans Hayley was wearing and knew there was no way they would last through the birth. Hayley needed to be in something comfortable and where the baby would come out freely.

Hayley groaned in agreement. If she had known she was giving birth that day, she would have worn a dress.

"I can help," Davina offered politely, walking over to the dresser and taking out a nightdress.

Rolling her eyes, Blair snapped her fingers. Instantly, the outfit that Hayley was wearing was gone and instead she was wearing a flowy nightdress that Davina had been holding. Hayley seemed to sigh in relief and her grip on Klaus' hand loosened slightly, "We have magic, dear." Blair said as she looked at the young Witch.

Davina's face flushed, "Oh, yeah."

"Have you eaten?" Klaus asked, looking to the mother of his child.

"I am not in the mood to eat anything," Hayley groaned, a wave of pain hitting her.

Elijah shook his head, "You need to keep your strength up. I will be back in a few moments," He turned around to head towards the kitchen.

Being nosy, Blair decided to follow after him, after instructing Davina to use the pain relief spell on Hayley. It seemed as though the last one was wearing off due to Hayley's contractions, which seemed to be getting worse. Blair didn't know if that was a sign that something was to happen but she'd rather play it safe. Trusting Davina and Klaus to watch over Hayley, she followed after Elijah and watched as he began to cook something. There was a range of picked fruit and he seemed to be cooking a pasta dish.

"You seem to know a lot about births," Blair commented curiously. Her eyes were taking in the scene before her. Elijah had removed his blazer and had rolled up the sleeves of his shirt. He looked very attractive and domestic as he cooked, causing something to stir inside her.

Sparing her an amused glance, Elijah continued to cook. "When I was human, my mother let me assist her when she pregnant with my younger siblings," He had refused to leave his mother's side when she was pregnant in fear that something would happen to her. His father had also instructed him to look after their mother when he was away hunting with Finn. Elijah had been more than happy to assist even though he was young himself because he felt he was doing an important and noble job.

Blair hummed in response and watched silently as Elijah finished preparing the food. As he did this, she sensed Raphael presence in the home, as well as Eve's. This made Blair feel better because now she knew Hayley was in decent hands.

Elijah and Blair walked back to Hayley's room where they saw Eve effortlessly coach her through the whole thing. Eve was teaching Hayley the best breathing method and whispering soothing praises while Klaus was having the life squeezed out of his hand. However, Klaus never complained or told Hayley to stop. When Elijah handed over the food, Eve shot him a grateful glance before she tried to persuade Hayley to take a bite to keep her strength up. Luckily the soon-to-be-mother listened to Eve and began nibbling on the fruit that Elijah had brought up.

Seeing Eve reminded Blair of something. With a snap of her finger, Blair summoned one of the moonlight stones into her hand and vanished it into Eve's pocket. Whatever the woman fashioned the stone into was her choice but at least her first full moon after activating the curse wouldn't be traumatic. With that sorted, Blair motioned to Davina and Raphael and walked out the room with them too behind her.

"Did something happen?" Davina asked as they walked through the Abattoir's hallways.

"We need to secure the premises," Blair explained as they arrived at the entrance, "This is just in case anyone tries to kidnap the child while everyone is distracted," She wouldn't put it past any of the Witches or the Fae to attack at this moment. All the focus would be on Hayley and the baby. So, Blair needed to make sure that didn't happen.

Raphael nodded his head in understanding, "I will patrol the outside and let you know," Once he had said his piece, he walked out the front door and began his patrol, his eyes missing nothing as he stuck to the shadows. It was darker now and so he found it easy to stick to the shadows.

"I'll secure the back entrances," Davina said as she walked off. Blair has taught her the barrier spells needed and she felt confident she could do it. This was a perfect time to prove how much she had grown and she was excited to use the barrier spell for the first time in action.

Once she was alone, Blair cast the barrier spell with a wave of her hand. She watched as a white sheen covered the entrance to the compound. This spell wouldn't allow anyone to enter unless they had permission and it could sense evil intent. This way, if anyone came with the intentions of kidnapping the baby then they wouldn't be allowed in, even if they did have verbal permission to enter. This barrier applied to everything – humans, Witches, Vampires and more. It was one of Blair's better spells having developed it further while she had been on the run. The only thing that could bring down this barrier was if it was hit by magic stronger than hers. Now that everything was done, Blair allowed herself a moment to relax. Everything had been chaotic for the past few weeks and she was starting to feel anxious.

Blair had been in New Orleans for eight months. This was one of the longest times she had ever stayed in a place and she had done something she swore she would not; form attachments to people. Blair mentally cursed herself for allowing this to happen. If she hadn't been swayed in by the promise to Chloe then she wouldn't be in this situation. Turning her head, Blair faced in the direction of Hayley's room and the balcony. She could hear Hayley crying out and Eve encouraging her to push. At least her last vision hadn't come true, this was one thing that Blair was happy about. From what she had seen in her vision, the baby's birth had been traumatic and she was very sure Hayley died in her vision. The only Witch that was present was Davina and there was no sign of Genevieve or Monique so this was a good sign.

Movement caught her eye and Blair turned her head. Elijah was now pacing around the room, no doubt waiting for the birth of a new family member – something she was sure he never thought would happen. Just the sight of Elijah made her stomach flutter. She was aware that she was starting to catch feelings for the noble Original and she cursed herself for it. At first, she has found him extremely attractive but then thought he was an asshole. But now, she has started to see other sides of him that caught her off guard. His very presence put her at ease, she found his dry sense of humour hilarious and his sense of loyalty endearing. Blair felt like something was pulling her towards him and she didn't understand why. She had told Elijah in the past that she had never been in love and she hadn't lied. Blair had genuinely never been in love because she'd never had the opportunity since she was always on the run. She couldn't risk being vulnerable or having an obvious weakness with the Hunter around. She could never settle down or make any place a home in fear of the Hunter ruining everything. It felt like cold water had been thrown over her at the thought of the Hunter. Blair shook her head, she was getting far too comfortable and something needed to be done about it.

Hayley let out another strangled scream as Eve encouraged her to push. This brought Blair back to earth and she headed back inside. Checking the time, Blair found that Hayley had only been in labour for nearly two hours and knew there was still a while to go. Blair had heard in passing that the first birth was always the hardest. Deciding that she needed some wine to deal with this, Blair began heading towards the kitchen.

Hours passed by in a flash. Blair had relocated to her room and placed a silencing spell around it so she wouldn't hear Hayley's screams of pain. Davina had joined her around thirty minutes later, not able to handle Hayley's screams anymore. To pass the time, Blair and Davina were doing an impromptu lesson, which the young Witch excelled at. Blair didn't push too much because she could see that summoning the barrier had drained Davina and didn't want to exhaust her too much. Suddenly, the door handle of Blair's room jangled, causing both Davina and Blair to look up. Since she was closer to the door, Davina stood up and opened the door, when Blair motioned that she could. Davina opened the door and saw Elijah on the other side.

"It's a girl," Elijah said with a smile. He had already held his niece. It had been a perfect moment. It had been a long time since he held a newborn baby and he had been almost scared to hold her. However, no one had been more scared to hold the baby than Klaus.

Wordlessly, Blair got up from her bed, "Everything went okay?"

Elijah nodded his head, "Both the baby and Hayley are okay. The baby is healthy and Hayley is recovering," It hadn't been an easy birth but it could have been a lot worse for Hayley if Blair and Davina hadn't used their pain relief spells.

"Can we go see the baby?" Davina asked with a wide smile.

Blair nodded her head and they all walked towards Hayley's room. When they entered, the first thing Blair noticed was how exhausted Hayley looked – but that wasn't surprising considering she had birthed a child. However, Hayley also looked happy, staring at her baby with adoring eyes. Blair looked towards Klaus, who was holding his child with such care and affection that it was almost startling. Blair was pretty sure she could see dried tears on his face but she didn't comment on it.

"She's so cute," Davina whispered in awe, staring at the baby.

Saying nothing, Blair silently disagreed. In Blair's eyes, babies never looked cute when they were just born. They looked like shrivelled prunes that did nothing besides screamed and pooped. Children only got cute when they were a couple of years old. But she didn't want to burst their bubble and so she said nothing.

"Can I hold her?" Davina asked, looking to Hayley and then Klaus.

Klaus looked ready to snap at Davina, but Hayley cut off him, "Of course, just make sure to support her head," Hayley said with a smile.

Reluctantly, Klaus handed his child over to Davina, watching her like a hawk. If Davina showed any signs of mishandling his child then he would take her off Davina in an instant. The wolf side of Klaus growled inwardly, not liking that there were so many people around his pup. Elijah and Eve were okay to being around but Blair and Davina made his protective instincts go into overdrive.

Rolling her eyes at his attitude, Hayley looked to Blair, "Do you want to hold her?"

Blair shook his head, "Thank you, but I am good,"

Hayley frowned and so did Klaus. Now, Klaus felt offended that Blair didn't want to hold his child. He was tempted to challenge Blair but decided against it when he noticed the uncomfortable, she looked.

Also sensing her discomfort, Elijah cleared his throat, gaining everyone's attention. "Have you decided on a name?"

Davina handed the baby back to Klaus, who took his child happily. He looked down at the baby and then back to Hayley. Hayley smiled at the scene and nodded her head, "Yes, we've decided on a name."

"Hope. Her name is Hope," Klaus announced proudly. He and Hayley had discussed at length different names for their child. However, this was a name that they circled back to because this child was their hope.

Elijah nodded his head, "It's a lovely name,"

Eve stood up, "Okay, the mother needs her rest. We can all coo over the baby tomorrow," She motioned for everyone to leave. She could see that Hayley's eyes were starting to droop and knew she needed sleep to recuperate.

Leaving the room, Blair headed back to her room, but not before she made a single moonlight stone appear in Hayley's side on the bed. It was a full moon tonight and she didn't need to transform after just giving birth. She was sure Klaus and Elijah would have no problem with this considering everything that had happened.

Just as Blair entered her room and shut her door, everything shifted. A wave of dizziness hit her and that familiar sickness washed over her. Her powers were coming to life, wanting to bring forth a vision. With a wave of her hand, Blair locked the door, making sure that no one would be able to enter while she had a vision. This time, she didn't fight the vision and allowed the flash of light to cover her vision.

Her vision showed a man, a very familiar man that made pure terror hit her. It was the Hunter and he was in New Orleans, looking for her. He was tearing the city apart, leaving no stone unturned in his hunt.

Blair gasped as she came out of her vision, feeling weak. Blair fell to her bed as her body shook from the aftershocks of her vision. This one wasn't a huge premonition and so she wasn't as weak compared to last time but she was still vulnerable. Shakily, Blair ran a hand through her hair, cursing her luck. She couldn't move or pack, let alone run away. Blair also needed to consider Davina in this situation as she couldn't leave the young Witch behind in fear the Hunter would do something to her. Blair needed to sleep and conserve her energy and, in the morning, she would run. Runaway like she always did.
