Hayley is pacing around in the study when Elijah, Klaus, and Jackson, all looking very dishevelled and covered in ash, return home. Hayley runs toward them "Thank god you're alive!" She hugs Jackson and looks at Elijah over his shoulder "Thank you." Elijah nods at her and watches as Hayley and Jackson sit down to tend to his wounds. As she was canoodling with her lovers I moved towards mine. Slowly I whispered, "Are you alright?" he nodded as he kissed my cheeks. 

"What about the stones?" Hayley asked as Elijah sighed "Scattered across the bed of the Mississippi, I'd imagine" Klaus pours himself a drink "Marcel's not a fool. He knows an empowered werewolf army would mean the end of vampires in New Orleans. The explosion is his way of saying he means to prevent that. For all the good it'll do him" taking a deep breath I spoke "Well, it did him pretty damn well, didn't it?" as I looked at Elijah, who was frowning. Jackson spoke "This is my fault. I'll find a way to fix it" I was about to speak but Hayley cut me off as she rubbed his shoulder affectionately "No, Jack, you're hurt. No one's blaming you."
"I'm blaming you! Those stones will be hard to replace" Niklaus looks over at Elijah and smiles evilly "Fortunately, I always have a backup plan."
Downstairs, Francesca walks into the compound with five other men, all of whom are wearing suits, and one of whom is carrying a briefcase. Klaus, Elijah, Hayley, and Jackson went down to greet her as I leaned on the railing watching from above. Hayley shouted at Niklaus for making a deal with a gangster. But Klaus made her his backup plan as he knew bayou boys always mess things up. But Francesca came to use she brought a small amount of stones that will work for right now. As she asked for protection from Marcel she closed the deal. 

Later Hayley, Jackson and Elijah went the other way and Klaus came to the dining room where Genevieve had everything arranged to start the moonlight ring spell. "  I trust you're ready?" Genevieve sighed "The last ingredient is personal. As the spell is designed to control transformation, I need the blood of a werewolf who doesn't turn on a full moon. My first thought was Hayley, because of the spell--" I interrupted "Nah out of the question she is" Klaus took a deep breath " I am half-wolf, I control my form-- use my blood." Niklaus holds his hand out to her, but when she grabs a knife to use to cut his palm, he grabs her roughly by the arm. " If you fail to hold up your end of the deal, the consequences for you will be apocalyptic" Genevieve got nervous "You say the most romantic things" I pulled her away from Niklaus "Shut up red."

Genevieve takes his hand and uses her knife to cut his palm. She drips the blood over the stones and it hisses as she begins the spell.

I wish I could do the spell and we wouldn't have to involve her.

Genevieve holds her hands out and chants "Tua virtuse. Materi lunare tua virtuse. Materi lunare tua virtuse" Klaus, Hayley and Elijah watched her carefully as Francesca rushed in "My people say Marcel is on the move, and he's bringing friends" Niklaus turned to Elijah before rushing away "Get Scarlett to safety" As Elijah walked over to me and grabs my arm "Come with me" I took my hand off his grip "No. Some need to watch her" I gesture to Genevieve "I've Hayley with me"

Francesca turned to Elijah "You should help Klaus. My brothers and their security detail won't be much against a vampire army. I'll stay with them" I nodded "Go, Elijah" Hayley walked over to him and looked him in the eye "And don't hold back"Elijah reluctantly agreed to this plan, and left to help Klaus.

Hayley's phone buzzes. It's Cami. She shows it to me and ignores it so we can keep watching Genevieve. She stops chanting and picks up a stone to examine it, impressed "The stones are finished. I've done my part. Now, it's up to you" Hayley goes to grab the stones "I'll get them to the Bayou"

Francesca rushes over to Genevieve and holds out her hand "Actually, she was talking to me" 
"What the hell is this?" I shouted. Genevieve, looking guilty, places the stone in Francesca's hand "Call it a side deal. The point is, I'm taking the stones" She starts to walk away. We were confused as Hayley followed her "Are you out of your mind? You think the humans can go up against Klaus?"
"No, I don't. But, I'm not human" Francesca pulls out a knife and uses it to slit the throat of her bodyguard. When the bodyguard dies, she doubles over in pain. She looks back up at Hayley with gold eyes and fangs, revealing that she had just triggered her werewolf curse "I'm like you, Hayley. And now, I'm gonna take back my town!"

Hayley lunges for Francesca "Like hell you are!" Before she can do anything, Genevieve uses a spell to knock Hayley out, and she falls on the floor. "What the hell--" Before I could I finish darkness took over me.

A group of witches, accompanied by Genevieve, drag a struggling me by her arms into the church toward the sacristy. Monique and another witch wait for them in the pews. I screamed in fright in hopes that someone would hear me. 

Genevieve was talking to the witches restraining me "Get her down on the floor!""We should take her to the City of the Dead" Monique interrupted "We won't make it, the baby is coming now."I was terrified "No! It's too soon! Ahhhhhh!" Genevive denied "Apparently not."
Monique grabs Genevieve by the arm "The plan was to induce her when the sacrifice was ready!"Genevieve stated her reason "I had to subdue her, and the trauma caused a placental abruption. So, the baby is coming, and we'll just have to adapt"I fought against the witches holding me down "AHHH! LET ME GO!" 
"You need to be calm, Scarlett"I was scared "Why are you doing this to me?" my voice broke due to the tears.
To be reborn, you must sacrifice" Monique spoke up.I pushed Monique's hand away "What does that mean, you psychotic little BITCH?"The ancestors demand an offering in exchange for power" Genevive spoke up.
"You and your child will be a fine offering" Monique finished the sentence. My blood started to boil as I screamed "No! NO! You will not take my baby, I will kill ALL OF YOU!" but Monique was the bold one "No, you won't! And neither will Klaus or Elijah! When your baby is born, you will offer her up to those who came before us" I started to cry and shook my head no as I continued to struggle against the witches' restraints."I'm sorry, Hayley, but this is the way it had to be." Genevive apologised."No! NO! NO! AAH! AAH!" I screamed at the top of my lungs as my scream rang throughout New Orleans only to be heard by him. Klaus' scream filled my eyes knowing he was coming for me.
