Things had escalated far too quickly for Evelyn's liking.

Hayley and Elijah were on the outs because the pregnant werewolf had gone behind Elijah's back and read his journals, telling Sophie about where he had buried his ex-lover, Celeste's bones. Sophie then tried to consecrate those bones and take the late witch's powers in order to fulfill the harvest but to everyone's surprise, all of Celeste's power was already gone.

Meanwhile, New Orleans was shaken up as Davina was getting sicker by the minute and as a result, natural signs were surfacing- all the natural elements, one after the other. It went from earthquakes to strong winds and now, such heavy rain that a flood was occurring.

Evelyn was currently helping at the church where Father Kieran had given shelter to many people (mostly werewolves) who were suffering due to the flood when she saw Hayley and Klaus walk in.

"Hey, what're you doing here?" Evelyn asked as she walked up to Hayley, taking the box from her, "let me help you carry that. Heavy things are a 'no' for you."

"We just wanted to help," she replied as Klaus caught up to the girls.

"Little wolf," he greeted the were-wolf, "so this is where you have been hiding. Is the little witch with you too?"

"I'm not hiding," Evelyn retorted, "Jace and I were-"

"Jace is here?" Hayley asked as Klaus rolled his eyes at the mention of the male werewolf.

Before Evelyn could respond, Father Kieran walked up to the group, "we still haven't gone through all that you've already provided, Klaus," he spoke as the girls exchanged a shocked look.

"Well, this newest bit isn't from me," the hybrid replied.

"Oh, that's very kind of you," Father thanked Hayley as she smiled in response.

"These people are-"

"I asked Father Kieran to give them shelter," Klaus interrupted as Evelyn raised her eyebrow at him in question.

"You asked Kieran to give them shelter? You're helping these werewolves?" Evelyn asked in a disbelieving tone as Klaus made an offended face.

"They are my clan from very far back," he explained, "they've fallen upon hard times and their plight has brought out the philanthropist in me. What can I say? Must be Elijah's influence."

"What do you mean 'your clan'?" the pregnant werewolf then questioned.

"The blood that runs in their veins runs in mine...and in our child's" the hybrid replied as Evelyn's eyes widened in shock but before she could say anything, Klaus grabbed her hand and turned to Hayley, "love, wait here for a moment while I have a little chat with your friend, okay? We will be right back."

Evelyn could not even protest as Klaus dragged her out of the door and outside the gate of the church, sitting down on the sidewalk bench and patting the place next to him, motioning for her to sit down.

"What is it, Klaus?" Evelyn questioned, standing in front of him with her arms crossed and an annoyed face.

"I want the little witch back," he replied sternly as Evelyn remained expressionless.

"I don't know where she is," she replied, "you know it was Marcel who took her-"

"How about you stop lying to me, love?" Klaus spoke through gritted teeth and he suddenly stood up, coming face-to-face with her with very little space between them, "I know she is hiding under your magic, probably at your apartment, I'm guessing," he said as Evelyn swallowed harshly in fear.
