Me Hayley and Eve are in their shack, where Eve is helping Hayley prepare for giving birth. "That's it. Inhale and release" Eve instructed me "I guess this means no epidural, huh? Are you sure I can't do this thing in, say, a hospital? The place with the doctors and the drugs?"

"Honey, the werewolves have been having babies out here since way long. Your kid is a wolf. Stop worrying" Eve joked about it. "Okay. Then what, Eve? I don't even know what it's like to have a mother, let alone be one" I complained. My mother died when I was a little kid I couldn't have time with her when I had big girl problems. Now I'm becoming a mother.

"Trust me, when the time comes, you'll know exactly what to do" Eve assured.  "As fun as it is to imagine Klaus changing dirty diapers, I'm pretty sure that you'll be doing this alone" Hayley partially joked about it. "I somehow doubt that" I assured her and myself

Elijah arrives at the doorway "Pardon the interruption. I wonder if I might have a quick word with the conspirators of a supposed uprising" he wants to meet with Jackson and Oliver, along with Eve and Hayley.

The sound of a motorbike approaching, and cut their argument short to go see who it is. I stepped out of the shack too. "What the hell?" Jackson asked interrogated. 

Outside, a man on a motorbike rides into the encampment and stops as the group approaches him. "Which one of you is in charge," the man asked "Who's asking?" Jackson asked. Elijah notices something off about the man, and reflexively tackles him, just as the motorbike explodes. Everyone is thrown backwards in the blast. Screams filled the area.

My ears were ringing from the blast. Nothing happened to me but god my ears. Elijah picks himself up off the ground. His clothes and skin are all singed and covered in ash. Hayley got up and helped me get up too. She ran over to where everyone else was. She sees a little boy standing next to a severely injured man and immediately runs over to help. She picks up the child  "It's ok. Here. Come here. Oh, God. Jackson? Here. Get him away from here" Jackson takes the child and walks away. "Hayley. Scarlett" Elijah's loud voice opened my ears. 

Hayley and Elijah kneel next to the injured man. Elijah lifted his shirt to find chemical and heat burns "Wolfsbane" I said looking at the the burns. "It must have been in the gas tank. You're the fastest. Take him and anyone else who can't walk on their own" Hayley said and Elijah looked at me in concern "It's okay, Elijah. I'm fine. They need your help. Don't worry Hayley is with me"

Hayley walks over to where Oliver is helping treat a werewolf who has been impaled with a tree branch. She helped Oliver do it right as he would just it worse. 

"If this was vampires, I'm pretty sure that I can guess who gave the order. I'm gonna go find Marcel" Hayley was infuriated by all his. "I'll come along!" I said as she grabbed a tree branch from the ground and broke it into a stake before leaving. 

We both barged into the hideout where Diego and the other vampires had been hanging out. "You got some nerve to come here wolf and you" Hayley knocks Diego flat on his back, and he jumps back up and growls at her. Hayley pushes him up against a wall and shoves a stake into his chest, just missing his heart. "Someone attacked the crescent pack in the Bayou this morning, and since I don't see any genius mastermind-types around here... Why don't you just tell us where Marcel is, and we can both get on with our day, huh?" I spoke up as Diego groaned and fought against Hayley. "Do you think I'm playing? There were families out there" Hayley's tone increased guilty Diego threw up the information "He used to keep a place. 1917 Patterson. If he's still around, he'll be there." She rips the stake out of his chest and we take our leave. 

"Niklaus where are you?" On the other end, I could hear the father Kieran "His wrath burns against you, demon" Niklaus spoke up "I'm in a bit of a situation here, love" Hayley was also listening. She made a face at Kieran's words. "Somebody sent a suicide bomber out to the Bayou this morning" Hayley spoke up, Niklaus worriedness was visible through the phone as he reacted "What? Where are you?" 

"I'm in the city now. I'm fine. I figured an attack like that must have been Marcel. He's hated the wolves for years, and after that stunt, he pulled with the witches... So, we tracked him down. Thought you might like to help kick his ass for trying to blow us" 
"Hey, listen. I assure you, once I am finished here, you will have my undivided attention. In the meantime, please stay out of trouble" 
"You don't have to worry. Elijah is with us." I lied.

We barged into Marcel's new apartment. Marcel seems to be expecting us. "Come on in. Have a seat. I'd offer you a drink, but..." He gestures to her baby bump "But hey she can have it" Hayley glared at him "Sweet pad."

"Oh, it's just temporary. A friend hooked me up. Believe it or not, I still have a few of those kicking around. I need friends to keep me informed, and to warn me when someone is coming looking to blame me for things that I didn't do" He smiled at us "For the record, you didn't have to work Diego like that. You and I are long overdue for a chat" his eyes lingered upon Hayley"You want to talk? Talk." Oh boy, Hayley was mad. "Tough girl. You're a lot like your dad in that way" Hayley stares at him "Oh, yeah. I knew him. I knew your whole family. If you knew them like I did, you'd know just how many enemies they have. Back in the nineties, it was the Crescent Wolves who took over the city. Or, tried to. They lived to throw down, and they were good at it, too. They didn't care who they killed as long as they got more power."

"So the Crescent curse was your way of stopping them? How heroic."

"It was either that or kill them all, and I'm not big on indiscriminate slaughter. See, I have this thing about kids" I replied "So we've heard" 

"Oh, you did more than hear about it, Andréa Labonair. You're living proof" smirk was plastered above his face. It was infuriating. 

Marcel and Hayley are still talking about Hayley and her family. 

"How long have you known who I am?"

"I saw how interested you were in those Crescents. After your little family reunion out at the old plantation house, I started to put two and two together."

"Tell me something, Marcel. Did you kill my parents?" 

"There was in-fighting among the wolves. Your folks were lying low. Somebody turned on them. I honestly don't know who. I got there afterwards and found you in your crib." 

"Give me one good reason why I should believe anything that you have to say."

"Believe whatever you want, but you were the last Labonair. I mean, it could've been a lot of leverage for our side, but instead, I took you to Father Kieran" Marcel pulls out a duffle bag and hands it to us.

"What's that?" I asked. "Money, mostly. Stuff you need to start over someplace safe. Whatever happened in the Bayou, I'm not your guy. But, the way things are going? Eventually, I might have to be" I raised a brow at him "So this is your grand plan? Get us out of town, and Klaus and Elijah follow closely behind?" 

"I can't say that wouldn't be a positive side effect"

"So why don't you leave? Follow your own advice?" Hayley suggested but Marcel just like the Mikealsons had a soft spot for this place and why wouldn't be "I was born here, Hayley" Hayley's reply also gave a hint of the softness for New Orleans "So was I."

We get up and go to leave. Before we walk out the door, Marcel stops us.

"Guy on the bike? The bomber? The word is, that he had a gambling problem. Owed money to the casinos--more importantly, to the humans who run them. And Hayley? When things get bad, remember, I tried to get you clear of it again" I gave him a look before we left. He was just a boy who was abused by his father, we took him under our wing and now look at him trying his all to kick us out of this town.
