When René awoke, she didn't expect to see two women sat at the end of her bed watching her. Her mind was swimming with thoughts, her eyes hurriedly scanning the room to see if the rapist was there with her. Her heart noticeably slowed when he wasn't and it was just the three women.

"Don't worry, he isn't here. Elijah dealt with him. I'm Rebekah and this is Hayley"

Elijah? Who's Elijah?

"Hi?"  René whispered, she could still feel his hands all over her body. Her hands went to play with her pearls, and she realised they weren't there. Her heart sank even more.

"Do you want anything to eat?" Hayley asked, standing and sitting again next to  René.  René, however, was still in shock, to the point where she started to feel sick.

"How long was I asleep?" She asked, running a hand few her hair. Rebekah also came and sat next to her.

"A few days give or take, I think it was from shock" Rebekah said, flicking her feet up onto the bed. Her blonde hair was pulled back into a ponytail.

"Speaking of Elijah I haven't seen him since he brought me here and that was yesterday." Hayley's eyebrows furrowed.

René looked between the two women, and her lip started to shake again. Rebekah saw this and took note of how quickly her heart started beating, she sighed and held René's head between her hands gently, and Rebekah didn't do gentle.

"You're safe with us, we are your friends.You will forget the horrible things that monster did to you, We are going to help you. Okay?" Rebekah's compulsion helped the girl and she calmed before a small smile resided on her face.

René noticed a presence at the door and saw a familiar face. Her face contorted into a large smile.

"I saw you at the bar the other night, Niklaus right?" She said to him. It shocked both Hayley and Rebekah that Klaus sauntered into the room and sat at the end of the bed with a smile. "Correct my dear. You were on whiskey as I recall?"

"Yes. Yes, I was and you were on Bourbon? What a small world." She laughed, turning to Rebekah.

"Friend of yours?"

"Brother actually. Elijah is my other brother that is in New Orleans with us." The blonde smiled, standing and brushing down her jeans.

"Wow what a gene pool" René joked looking between the two attractive siblings.

Klaus smirked at the girl, looked at the floor, then back up to the girl. Who was currently blushing.

"Mikaelson. Niklaus Mikaelson" René muttered, before getting out of bed. She stood and thought.

"Rebekah Mikaelson"

"Elijah Mikaelson"

Why did their names sound so familiar?

"What is she doing?" Hayley whispered to Rebekah watching the small woman pace up and down the bedroom, eyebrows furrowed and her hands by her mouth. Klaus looked at the two women that were sat down and joined them.

The two vampires and wolf watched the small human pacing, placing the jigsaw pieces into place.

Vivid memories of her mother and father telling her stories about Vampires and Wolves. The infamous Mikaelson family and their indiscretions.

"The Originals!" She gasped looking at the two.  "My mother used to tell me stories about you when I was a child" She looked at the three shocked faces that were staring at her.

"How do you know this? You're just a human" Klaus questioned, standing up and walking towards her. His curiosity getting the better of him.
She laughed looking at him and then at Hayley.

"Oh yeah" She chuckled nervously, watching the eyes of the three supernatural beings following her.

She felt scrutinised as they still watched her."You see, I'm more like you all then you planned. I'm a wolf" Their eyes widened, not expecting this small beauty to have it in her.

"Yes, No, Well, I do have the werewolf gene, but I just haven't triggered it yet. And in all honesty, I'm not sure if I want to" René glanced back to Hayley with a small smile. The two had more common than they thought.

After a few hours, Hayley and René became fast friends. Hayley told  René the time that she triggered the curse and how painful the change was. René grimaced when Hayley described the snapping of bones and the feel of them moving underneath the skin. She then started to tell the story of how she met Klaus.

"I was running with a pack that had a hybrid was in, he was telling me that he had to look after some guy called Tyler. The only Tyler that was a hybrid that I could think of was a good friend of mine. we spent time un-siring him from Klaus, and yet he never told me he lived in this massive mansion. I showed up, Klaus was there. A bottle of scotch and a few bad decisions later, I have a little hybrid baby swimming around in there." She smiled poking at her flat stomach.

"How did you feel when you found out you were going to be a mother?"  René asked, tucking hair behind her ear, Hayley blinked up at  René.

"That was the first thing Elijah said to me. To be honest I never had the best role model when it came to mothers. My birth mother abandoned me and my adoptive parents kicked me out when I turned. So when it comes to having my own baby, I don't know. I feel like I'll be terrible."

"From what I've seen so far Hayley you'll be fine. And if you mess up, hey, you'll learn, no one gets on a bike and knows how to ride it straight away. You've just got to go with it." She smiled.

"With that note, I think I should be getting home. Bruno must be going mad that I've not been home for days."  René laughed, standing up from the chair. Hayley also stood up and grabbed her jacket off the back of her chair.

"I'll walk you, I have things to do anyway."

"Oh, do you know where my phone is?"

"I think Rebekah got it when you first came, I'll go ask."

Hayley left and  René sat back down. She was confused, confused at how she came across the Mikaelsons and Hayley. The last thing she remembered was walking from Rousseau's, seeing Marcel and that was it.

"Confused love?" Klaus asked, walking over to the ivory couch next to her. His hair ruffled and eyes droopy, having the just-got-out-of-bed look.  René laughed leaning back in her seat.

"Is it that obvious?"

"Nothing that a good Bourbon can't fix." he lifted up his glass and drank the whole shot.  René was impressed, she to reached over, poured a larger shot and drank. Klaus to was impressed, that a woman her size could drink like a sailor yet look so innocent.After her revelation of having werewolf genes, he felt more at ease with her. She amused him, she was intrigued by him, there was something about her that he liked, yet he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"So tell me about your family René." Klaus asks, sipping another drink.

"Well, I have my brother Cary and my mum. My dads in England with his new wife and kids. He didn't react well when Cary first turned. Mum never told him she was a wolf." She sighed thinking about her older brother.

Thinking about her older brother, triggered some sort of rage within her. After he turned at 18 and  René was only 14, he left He up and left in the middle of the night after an argument between him and his father. He fled from England to New Orleans, in the end so did  René and her mother. Neither one of the siblings had any contact with each other. Not anymore at least.

René's hands were shaking, her mind was showing flashes of when she was a child, her and her brother playing in the garden and flashes to nothing. Niklaus was watching, he had never seen someone's attitude change so quickly. Not even his own, she was fine and now her hands were gripped in tight fists, her knuckles slowly turning white.

"I don't want to think about him anymore Niklaus, can we please change the subject?" René spoke through gritted teeth. Hayley appeared at the door and nodded towards Niklaus.

"I have your phone" she handed over the young womans phone. Niklaus took that as his sign to leave and left through the front door.

René looked down at her phone:

Bruno (12) missed calls

Mother Dearest (19) missed calls

"I'm dead"
