Me and Nik step out of the shadows in front of a couple that was enjoying the city's festival. "Good evening. I wonder if you could help me and my girlfriend. We're feeling a bit famished." Nik asked them.

"Sorry, I don't have any change." The guy said as him and his girlfriend take a step back.

"Don't, worry, we have our own money. We just need a bit of your service." I said with a smile.

Klaus went to but the neck of the girl and I vamp speed over to the guy. I had to jump onto him and wrap my legs around him so I don't fall off. Once I was secured I showed off my fangs and bit into his neck as he and his girlfriend scream out in terror.

The guy tried to throw me off but couldn't since I am latched onto him. He slowly drops to the ground and I ignore him dying and continue to drink his blood. Once his blood stops flowing I pull away and sat there for a while straddling a dead corpse.

Nik held his hand out to me and I took it. I see Dahlia step out in front of us. "You guys must be hungry, considering what you've endured." She said.

"We've never been daggered. Never knew it was such an agonizing experience." Nik said.

"I can now see why Nik's siblings hate it so much." I said.

"You'll need your strength for what's to come. I suggest you replenish yourself... before the storm." Dahlia said and I look behind her to see a group of humans standing behind her mindlessly.

I smile at all the blood I get drink from. I feel my veins grow beneath my eyes and I look up at Nik with a bright smile on my face. I finally get to go blood crazy.

~~~

The rain start to pick up and pour on top of us extremely hard but we've ignored it. I pull away from the last body and left it on the ground. Blood was all over the bottom on my face, but it was being washed off from the rain. Doesn't get rid of the stain though.

"Have you had your fill?" Dahlia asked us once we were done.

"Indeed." Nik said as he pulls me to his side. "I'm beginning to feel like my old self again."

~~~

"If you find them, keep your distance. Call me, I'll handle it." Marcel said as he walk inside his home that has been the vampires new base of action.

"What a lovely advice." I said from his couch. Alerting him that I was here. "Although I do wonder:" I get up from the couch.

"Hey." Marcel puts his hands up as a gesture for me to stop moving.

"How would you handle us?" I continue.

"Now before you get angry." Marcel started to say but I vamp speed to him and push him against the wall. I use my magic to hold him up while also choking him.

"We are very well past angry, Marcellus. I am at the point were red is starting to cloud my vision making my magic going a bit haywire." I said before I grace him with a smile. "But it seems that it is always your lucky day to escape death. I am not here to kill you sadly. I just need to take something from you that you seem to have and is very well needed for my punishment." I said before I magically snap his neck.

I walk around the room as I try to look for anything that is suspicious or out of place. I take a step to my left and I hear the boards creak beneath me. I look down and stare at the floor curiously before I stomp on the same place. It's hollow.

I break through the boards and pull out a glass bottle with a rolled up piece of paper inside. I shake it out and unroll it and start to study the spell I was looking for. I put the spell in my back pants pocket and look down at the unconscious Marcel before an idea pops in my head.

~~~

Marcel finally wakes up from his death and sees that he is now hanging upside down. Dried blood was on his skin as I had to drain the vervain out of his system.

"It was about time you have woken up. I was getting a bit bored, but then your little friends had shown up to keep me entertained. So, I thought to myself, "I should get rid of my bloodlust and anger." And I did but it all soon returned when the party ended." I said as I walk around Marcel.

"Keep them out of this." Marcel said as he jerks his body towards me.

"Calm down, luv." I said with a mocking tone. "Don't worry. Your vampires are fine. Beaten down, definitely. Alive, I can guarantee it." I walked in front of the couch.

I looked at the knocked out vampire. "Hello." I greeted her undead body. "I remember you. You are going to be the key to their punishment."

~~~

I compelled Marcel to go with Klaus and Dahlia to the Compound so he can keep Rebekah from doing any magic. I waited for Gia to wake up and once she did I greeted her with a smile.

"You're Elijah's new girlfriend, aren't you?" I asked her already knowing the answer.

"Phoenix?" She said as she recuperates herself. "What are you doing here? Everyone has been looking for you."

I stare at her blankly. "I know. I need your help." I grabbed her chin harshly and forced her to look at me. "You are to do exactly as I say, when I say it with no hesitation." I compelled her. Her eyes dilated showing that my mind control had work.

I stood up from squatting. "Follow me." I said as I walk out Marcel's apartment with Gia not to far after me.

We came into the Compound standing in the bright sun and I look up at the second floor to see Klaus forcing Elijah's head against the railing so he can see us on the first floor.

"Elijah?" Gia said as she spots him.

"Gia..." I said making her look at me. "Be a sweetheart and take your daylight ring off."

"No! No!" Elijah yells out as he struggles to break Klaus hold on him.

"I can't stop myself." Gia said as she looks up at Elijah with glossy eyes. Gia takes the ring off her finger and as soon as she drops it her skin starts to sizzle. Her arms went up in flame first before her face did. Gia screams out in pain as the fire burns her skin as if it was cooking her alive. Gia drops to the ground and falls over dead while her body continues to go up in flames.

"You seem vexed, brother. Wait until you see what we've got in store for Hayley." Klaus said with a proud smile.

Elijah suddenly gets up a push Klaus against the wall behind him. They fight it out for a bit before they both fall down the stairs to my level.

Klaus stands up staring at his brother while Elijah continues to kneel in a battle stance, his vampire face showing as he hiss at us. I stand next to Klaus.

"Is that a hint of the fabled beast behind the red door? Come on, brother. Let him out to play." Klaus taunted.

Elijah sped over to him but I got in his way and shove Papa Tunde's blade in his chest. "You should know better than to fight us while we're angered. For our anger is uneneding." I whispered into his ear then I let the blade go so it can embed itself inside him.

"Phoenix." I look up to see Cami at the entrance watching me drop Elijah to the floor ungracefully.

"Oh, bloody hell. Who in the hell invited you here?" I said dramatically.

"I came here because you need me. You need me to tell you that this— this is not you. I know you are hurt but please listen to me, you are better than this." Cami said looking directly at Klaus.

"Is there a problem?" Dahlia asked us.

"Of course not. She is just another blood bag that lost her place." I said and I start to walk closer to her.

"No. Klaus. I know you won't hurt me. I've known that from the second we met. I trust you." Cami said completely ignoring that I am walking up to her.

"Are you being serious right now?" I said pulling her attention to me. "Be honest, you thought for a moment that this might be your one only chance to not only persuade Nik from destroying his family, but to also tell him that you fancy him."

Cami looked at me with shock on her face and terror in her eyes. Did she really think I wouldn't know of her feelings for my boyfriend.

"Klaus may not hurt you because you were his friend once upon a time." I said and put a hand on the left side of her neck. "But that won't stop me from hurting you though. Consider me jealous." I bit into her neck and she screams out in pain. Not even a second later she falls unconscious. I watch her body fall to the ground. "Weak." I commented.

~~~

"Quite the sinister plot they had planned. Would have failed in the end, though. Just as well you both came to your senses and sided with me." Dahlia said.

The door opens and I see Marcel pulling Rebekah along with him and she is wearing the cuffs that stops her from doing magic. "Have you both lost your mind?" She asked us.

"Our mind is quite clear. We just decided to purge it of treacherous barnacles." Klaus said.

"You bastard! How could you?" Rebekah said with venom as she tries to rush at us but Marcel held her back.

"It was really simple let me tell you. We just recalled what Elijah did to us and reciprocated tenfold. I would be extremely careful if I was you, Rebekah. I would love to give you the same punishment right now for siding with them to dagger us. It would be shame for Marcel to die because of your stubbornness. After all he could repay me for his life thanks to my daughter saving him a 100 years ago." I said as I walk up to them threatening. I look at Marcel. "Marcellus, keep Rebekah here. If she tries to leave— well, she gets to join her brother with the ancestors of New Orleans." I said looking at Rebekah.

"Go to hell." Marcel said.

"If by "hell" you mean somewhere you were betrayed by those you hold most dear then it's from hell we've just come. I didn't much care for it." Nik said.

I put my hand on Marcel shoulders making him look down at me. "Do as your told. There's a good lad." I compelled him.

"The child's magic is still cloaked." Dahlia said as she steps over Elijah's body.

"Hayley may be cloaking Hope right now, but that doesn't mean my kids are cloaked too. I find my kids, I'll find Hayley and Hope as well. I can use my blood to track them." I said. I bit into my palm and let my blood drip into my other hand.

~~~

We came to this abandoned auto warehouse. A werewolf who was by himself was standing out in the open. We silently stood behind him and once he turns to face us Klaus grabbed him and held up in the air by his chin.

I magically gave him a big cut on his neck at watch amazed at how fast the blood was flowing. He did his job by screaming out alerting all the other wolves to our location.

Klaus put him out his misery and snap his neck just as Hayley, Jackson, and a few other wolves came to see what was happening.

"Good evening, Crescents. It will come to no surprise to learn that things will not be ending well for you." Nik said as he took a few steps at them.

Jackson stood in front of Hayley protectively. He and the rest of his packs had bow and arrows, axes and other weapons that they carry. Why I would like to know. They can just bite whoever they want without the full moon.

"Go back inside, get Hope, the kids, and Mary out of here." Jackson said to Hayley without looking at her.

"I can help." Hayley said not moving and wanting to help. If she was going to involve herself then I would have to take matters into my own hands.

"I'll be right behind you." Jack said trying to get her to leave.

"Jack."

"Just get the kids and run." Jack said again and this time Hayley did as told.

I hear multiple footsteps from behind us and see that we are surrounded. "This fight is filled with nothing but testosterone. I'll have you boys fight this out. I'll be up here." I said and jumped up to a bus and crossed my legs as I sat. Don't want no one to take a peak at my knickers.

"Let's take him." Jackson said and a werewolf runs at Nik with a battle cry. Klaus just stares at him with a happy smile.

~I can see why you guys hate Hayley so much. Has the nerve to say she won't teach Hope that it's okay to leave your love ones to die, but yet she left Elijah and them to handle Dahlia by themselves~

The fight continues as Klaus kills off a few werewolves here and there. Finally Jackson joins in and he got a few punches in before Klaus backhands him a few meters away. "Oh, you have gotten stronger. I reckon you've gone from field mouse to lapdog." Klaus said.

"Come on, then." Jackson said getting into a fighting stance.

A whoosh was heard and I see Hayley come out of no where and punch Klaus in the face. I jump down from the bus and vamp speed to her throwing us to the ground away from Klaus as he and Jackson continue to fight.

"I have been waiting to see you." I said with a creepy smile on my face. The both of us got up and start circling each other.

"Nix—"

"Only friends call me that name." I cut her off as she looks at me nervously. "And who the bloody hell do you think you are trying to take my children away from me!" I yelled at her.

"I just wanted to keep them safe." Hayley said.

I sped to her and kept throwing punches at her but she dodged all of them. I kick her leg out forcing her on one knee. I grab Hayley by her neck then threw her onto her back and I keep holding her down as she struggles to get me off.

"You are not their mother! You don't get to decide what is best for them. That is my decision to make and I am powerful enough to take care of them on my own if need be." I yelled at her once our fight hit a pause.

"You can't protect them if your are out there trying to help kill Dahlia." Hayley said.

"That's why I made the necklaces for. So that if they were ever in any danger it would protect them and it would alert me. They're just like Angel's necklace after her own father tried to kill her.

Hayley didn't say anything after that. She thrusted her head at me but that failed. It felt like a baby kitten trying to learn how to bite with no teeth in their mouth. I smirk at Hayley before I threw my head at hers. Hayley lays back into the dirt staring up at the sky for a while disoriented.

I grab her by her jacket and threw her towards where Jackson and Klaus were fighting at. She coincidentally landed right next to Jackson after he too gets thrown by Klaus.

"Enough." Dahlia said as she comes to stand by our side.

"Why is she with you?" Hayley asked us once her and Jackson got off the ground.

"Unlike some, they're doing what is best for their daughters." Dahlia said.

"I'm gonna skin you alive." Hayley threatens as she walks up to us.

I held my hands out and Hayley grunts in pain as she falls to the ground. Jackson falls to the ground as well and their bones start to break as they start to shift.

Not long after all the werewolves who was still alive fell to the floor as they were shifting as well. "What are you doing to us?" Hayley asked me.

"Oh, this? This was Nix's idea. Stealing from Marcel the Crescent curse he once used on your pack. Nix thought it would be a well deserve punishment for you after your treachery." Klaus explained as he walks over and squats down in front of Hayley. "Now you will be trapped in wolf form, save for the full moon. Leaving you very little time to cause any further mischief." Hayley didn't get to say anything as her spine breaks in half. "And because of the unification ritual linking you to your pack... now they share your fate, queen."

Hayley slowly sits back up as her shift slows down a bit. "Please. Please don't do this, Klaus. She's gonna steal our baby." Hayley cries out.

"It was you who tried to steal Hope from me. Then you had the means to take all my children with you," Hayley shake her head in defiance, "and for that, you will suffer."

I continue to complete the curse and screams is all I hear around me as every werewolf bone starts to break.

~~~

I get to the car all the kids in. Hope was in the second row of seats while my kids were in the third. I climb back there making a lot of noise that woke them up. Once all 7 of my kids laid their eyes on me they start to cry and reached their small hands out to me. My eyes start to water as I went to calm down each and every one of my kids.

I finally notice that like Angel, they all picked up the clingy trait. Especially Maddox. I make sure they were all wearing their necklaces. Nik was outside the car talking to Dahlia and I waited for him to do his part on our plan.
