BLOODLUST
:: i. | this isn't new orleans

The Mikaelsons and Jesabel were just doing what they do best . . . bickering. Klaus said something that provoked Jesabel, resulting in her attempting to strike him then everyone soon got involved. They tried to get Klaus to see where he was in the wrong bringing up Jesabel's family but of course, he did not see it.

Jesabel huffed and stormed back to her room where Rebekah quickly followed behind. Klaus just stood there with a smirk across his lips, while Elijah gave him a disapproving look. As they all stood in their places, everything began to shake. It was like an earthquake but only they could feel it.

Out of nowhere, they were all sucked through some portal and dropped out the sky onto the ground which of course wasn't earth. Jesabel slowly sat up as she opened her eyes. She was confused and a bit scared, she didn't know where she was. She thought she was by herself at first, until she saw a pretty blonde falling from the sky and landing on her back.

"Bloody hell." Rebekah stood up, rubbing the back of her head.

"Where are we?" Jesabel ask as the group reunited. Her, Rebekah, klaus, Elijah, Kol and unexpectedly hope.

"We're not in New Orleans, that's for sure." Klaus commented as his eyes wandered the forest.

"Are we in a prison world?" Kol ask amongst the group.

"No way." Jesabel shook her head, "This is completely different."

"And how do you know?" Kol crossed his arms as he ask in a sassy tone.

Jesabel was about to say something snarky back but as per usual, Elijah's always there trying to keep the peace amongst his siblings and her.

"Jesabel. Kol. Stay civil." He practically ordered in a stern tone.

The six began walking along the side of a trail that they had no knowledge that they were next too. It was a silent walk, they didn't know where they were going but they needed someplace to hold shelter til they found a lead to get home.

They were deep into the forest now, still walking though. They thought they would've came across a village or a bridge by now . . but no. Were there any people there? Most of them thought to themselves because so far they haven't seen any civilization. That was until they heard a crack of a twig nearby and with their hearing, that twig was much closer.

Everyone quieted down, still walking in the same direction they have been for awhile now.

"You folks should keep going." A man spoke which caused all of them to quickly turn around, "The village is just up ahead. You don't want to be on this path if the queen arrives."

"Queen? There are rulers here?" Kol walked a bit closer to the older man.

"You're not from here are you?" The man caught on quite quickly for his age.

"Sir, where are we?" Elijah finally asked the question all of them been dying to know.

"The Enchanted Forest. Where else?" He began to walk the other direction, heading back to the village.

Jesabel and the Mikaelsons were still trying to comprehend where they were and of how they got there, along with the last thing they remember before they got there. While they were lost in their thoughts, the queen had already known of their arrival.

Regina stood in front of her mirror watching these outsiders as they try to navigate these woods. She laughed at their attempt. As she paid close attention, one of her guards came through the double doors.

"We have outsiders in our woods, your majesty." He spoke as he stood behind her.

"I'm aware." She spoke with such anger in her tone as her eyes stayed glued to them through the mirror.

"Should we kill them?" The guard ask, always assuming that's what the queen would instruct.

She thought about it for a minute, "Not just yet." She turned on her heels facing him, "Get my carriage ready. I want to have a little chat with our outsiders."

Once her carriage was prepared, she found her way to it and got in. She instructed the man to lead her to her beloved outsiders. Luckily the ride wasn't that long because she found them just outside the castle's walls. She assumed they just got lost in the woods and they forgot which direction the village was if that's where they were headed.

Her carriage soon came to a halt and one of the guards opened the door for her. She stepped out with an evil smile across her lips.

"Well, we'll, well- what do we have here? Why are you lurking in my woods?" She stood in front of the six.

"You must be the queen." Jesabel stated the obvious. "We're trying to find our way home."

"Oh, really? You don't say." The queen was able to switch her mood in an instant. From sarcastic to quite stern, "Now, where are you from?"

"New Orleans." Hope finally spoke one word since they arrived.

Kol stepped forward, "See your majesty, we kind of fell from the sky so-"

Regina cut him off, "Ah, so you're from another realm?"

"Realm?" Elijah questioned. He was quite confused and his siblings.

"So here's the thing, i can order my guards to kill you all but if you want to live . . we can make a deal." Regina offered.

"They can try but-" Kol began with a smug smirk across his lips but was soon interrupted by his brother.

Elijah stepped up, "What kind of deal?"

"If you kill someone for me, I'll help you get home." She offered the vampires.

"Why can't your guards do it?" Rebekah wanted to explore all their options.

"They tried but failed." She passed them a disgusted look.

"What makes you think we can?" Jesabel ask.

"Call it intuition but I have a feeling you all are no ordinary people." Regina told them. "So do we have a deal?"

They all shared glances amongst themselves, trying to read each other's faces if they should accept or not.

Klaus walked up to the queen, "We have a deal, your majesty."

"Please, call me regina." An evil grin formed on her lips as she shared looks with her new found friends.
