Alora Branson

   "I'm fine too thanks for asking" Klaus said as he watched Hayley hug Jackson thanking Elijah, Alora walked alongside him.

   "What about the stones?" Hayley asked, "scattered across the bed of the Mississippi, i imagine" Elijah responded. "Marcel is no fool, he knows an empowered werewolf army would mean the end of vampires in New Orleans" Klaus said as Alora turned hearing a woosh.

   "Your back" Everett hugged Alora, "are you okay?" he asked seeing the ash on her temple. "Fine" she smiled, "just ran into a bit of a situation" she nodded. She turned back to Klaus seeing both his mmm and Elijah staring at her.

   "What?" she asked, they both shook their heads before Klaus continued. "The explosion is his way of saying he means to prevent that, for all the good it'll do him" Klaus said. "We'll it did him pretty damn well didn't it?" Hayley said, "this is my fault i will find a way to fix it" Jackson said.

   "No Jack, your hurt and no one is blaming you" Hayley said comforting him, "I'm blaming you" Klaus added to which Alora elbowed him. "Those stones will be hard to replace, fortunately i always have a backup plan" Klaus added.

   While Klaus made a few calls Alora and Everett broke off to their room, "so any thoughts about the ritual?" he asked. "I think i found a way to get my magic back, but it requires finding my long lost brother" Alora sighed. "I can try to do a locator spell, when we where younger Regulus gave me a ring it was once his so i think we can use it to look for him" Alora explained.

She walked over to a drawer sliding it open revealing the box they had dug up, she put it on top of the dresser before opening it revealing the same treasures as before. She shuffled threw the things before pulling out a chain which had a ring on it, "got it" she breathed holding it in her hands.

"Let's do it" Everett encouraged, Alora nodded taking the pendant and a map from one of their bags, she searched for a knife ultimately finding an old dagger. She set the map on the bed before taking the edge of the dagger in her palm, she applied pressure while quickly pulling it out making a long cut in her palm.

She squeezed her hand in a fist over the map making blood drops quickly fall on the map. With her other hand she held the chain with the ring over the map, Everett put his hand on her shoulder in encouragement. Alora closed her eyes focusing, "sanguis ostende locus" Alora muttered as the wind picked up. Her head tilted back feeling the energy of her pendent, black veins trailed from her finger tips to her face before disappearing.

She felt a force before she stopped opening her eyes, "North Carolina, it looks like we have a field trip to make" Alora said looking at the map which had blood trailing to NC. "Are you going to tell Klaus?" Everett asked as he saw Alora frantically packing a bag, "i'll leave him a note" Alora shrugged.

   Everett nodded before taking his bag and shoving his clothes back in it, "we should leave before sundown that way we make it there at night" Alora said as she swung her bag on her shoulder.

   "We should go" Alora called opening the window revealing the sundown afternoon, "where are you going?" Everett asked seeing Alora begin to climb out the window. "As i said, i'll leave Klaus a note" Alora winked before falling back, she landed on her feet looking around before looking up.

   "Come down your wuss" Alora called, Everett peered over the edge of the window before climbing out and jumping down. "Now come on" Alora called before vamp speeding away, everything blurred around the girl as she vamp sped threw a forest.

   Alora abruptly stopped making Everett tumble into her, Alora quickly got up as she froze smelling the air. It was coated with a thick metallic smell that made her stomach growl, Everett watched as her vampire eyes came out and her mouth started to water.

   "Alora, control it. Don't think about it, block it-" Alora interrupted him, "i can't" she breathed as her eyes got watery. Alora vamp sped away to the smell, luckily since Everett was faster it didn't take long for him to catch up.

   He knocked her on the floor holding her down, "Alora, breathe" Everett told her as she was breathing heavily. She tried to get him off her but he was stronger, she grunted before finally giving out. "Breathe" Everett soothed, Alora took a deep breath.

"Okay i'm done, the urge- it's passed" Alora let her head fall back as she starred at the starry night, "okay" Everett breathed. "Okay" Everett nodded getting up, Alora followed before she looked around. It's as if her brain had blocked the smell completely, "we need to continue or we won't make it in time" Alora nodded.

   Everett opened his mouth to speak but was stopped by Alora vamp speeding away, and so they were back in the path. A few minutes later Alora came to a stop making Everett stop too.

   Alora glanced down the street with street light illuminating the road, "where exactly are we going" Everett asked. Alora walked forward down the road glancing around, "there's supposed to be a warehouse around here" she paused shaking her head. "But it's no where to be found" she looked around, after walking around she eventually got frustrated with not finding anything.

   "Okay it's useless it obviously not here" Alora called, she sighed taking a deep breath. "Okay think, where would it be?" Everett said looking around, Alora squinted in thought before an idea hit her.

   "Plain sight" Alora muttered, "what?" Everett asked before Alora sped away. "Every time" he said exasperated before following after her, Alora stopped at the place they were at before as she looked around. She ripped looking forward as she faced an empty parking lot, "bingo" Alora whispered walking forward.

   At this point Everett didn't question her instead followed her, Alora stopped looking up and down. Finally she brought her hand up as if there were an invisible wall and closed her eyes. Everett watched as Alora's hand glowed red with bright energy, veins appeared on her hand from all the energy she was taking out of this field.

   She gasped pulling her hand back, there were a once empty lot stood now there was a small warehouse. Alora smirked as Everett walked forward, "after you" Everett gestured. Alora nodded before pulling the door back and walking in, immediately she could see a large crowd who crowded around something in the middle of the room. People were cheering and laughing clearly enjoying themselves, Alora tried to look around but could spot nothing but people.

   "Let's spread out, we'll cover more ground" Everett was about to say something but Alora sped off "time to look for a person i have no idea how they look" Everett nodded before walking opposite of were Alora had gone.

   Meanwhile Alora approached the middle of the room where people were cheering, she was caught off guard seeing two people fighting. Alora vamp sped forward to the middle off the circle behind a guy before quickly breaking his neck with a crack.

   Alora smiled looking up.
