My head is pounding, I hear water dripping and my body is cold. "Kol," A woman whispers flow through the air, "how much blood did you take she's been out of hours?"
"Mother, I barely drank an ounce. She's being a little dramatic," Kol responds. Panic creeps upon me, I slowly open my eyes to see my surrounds. I'm in a dark cement cell, my arms chain to the wall, déjà vu slowly settling in reminding me of when Katherine and Damon kidnap me to get back at Klaus.

"Kol," Esther voice is stern, "go off now, Finn will supervious for the time being. Go entertain your brothers and sister." My eyes are still closed as I fight through the haze. I can hear Kol's footsteps disappear, the sound of a door clicking shut and then nothing.

"Alison.." Esther voice creeps through the darkness, "I need you to wake up now." Her cold hands brushes against my face and I flinch by the touch. I slowly flutter my eyes open, and I see her, face to face with me, "There you go." Her smile is devious, she stands and I see Finn shift in the corner.

" Where am I?" I ask, the surroundings seem familiar.

"We have you locked up for the time being." Esther replies.

I yank my arms but but the chains are restricting me from moving, "What do you want?" I spit out as I keep trying to pull away from the wall.

"My son, Niklaus loves you very much. I've watch him over the years as he protect you, loves you and well lie to you. My dear do you remember how my son made you immortal? Without making you a awful creature like himself?" I stare at her, I don't remember much of the night Klaus took me to New Orleans to meet the witch who cast the spell upon me. She tilts her head, "I figured much, well tonight is a full moon and I want to ensure my son," she pauses as Finn walks closer to her, she places as hand on his arm "my children, all linked together will die."

New Orleans 1870

The carriage stops in front of a small bar, Niklaus opens the door and takes my hand. "Love," his voice makes my heart speed faster, "we are here."

I step out of the carriage and look up, the yellow brick building has a balcony that wraps around the other side of the building. Greenery hangs, the glass windows getting direct sunlight into the building. "Are you sure" I pause as he guides me inside the bar, my voice is hushed, "this is going to work?"

He grins at me, a lady with white hair and dark skin is standing behind the bar, "Klaus Mickelson." Her voice is friendly, her smile is not. I step behind Klaus to let him shield me from her stare.

"Gloria," He squeezes my hand, "this is Allison, I need you to do me a favor."

Raising an eyebrow "Why would I do a favor for you?"

He grins, "because if you don't, I will kill you." I shudder at his threat but I know he isn't lying. Klaus does not pass out empty threats. "So do we have ourselves a deal?"
