Chapter Seven

"I'm gonna snap his neck." Gemma stood up and walked out the door and the two men followed.

Gemma rode in the passenger seat while Klaus drove to the Abattoir."

"Damn, girl! Not bad!" they heard Marcel say. Gemma walked up behind the female and ripped her heart out of her chest and let it drop to the ground.

"Your next, Marcel." Gemma warned, Klaus stepped forward.

"Good evening! I'd like a word." Klaus said.

"What do you think you're doing?"

"It appears that we've interrupted a collection of filthy amateurs! We've come here for the girl. Give it to us, or we kill everyone here. Starting with you, clearly Gemma would love to get her hands dirty."

"You three got a lot of nerve, coming into my home and making demands. And Gemma, you know killing another vampire is against my rules."

"Try me, Marcel." Gemma warned.

"You home, is it?" Klaus said.

"The girl! I will not ask again." Elijah said with more force in his voice.

"I assume you're talking about Hayley? Yeah, high, dark hair, bitchy attitude. Attached to Gemma's hip? Who is she, anyway?"

"She's an old friend. You know how sentimental I am about old friends."

"Well, I ain't got her. And before you start whining, I did pay her and Gemma a little visit earlier tonight. I was feeling nostalgic, so I took a trip out to the plantation where I used to be a slave. And, imagine my surprise when I realized that the Original Family of Vampires had taken up residence. Your girls, Gemma and Hayley answered the door, we exchanged hellos, that was it. You don't believe me? Look around. Hell, I'll even help your find her. But the question that I'd ask is: if Hayley isn't here, then where is she?"

"If you don't have her, then why'd you break my neck."

"I didn't. I promise you that. You're too pretty to have your neck broken." Gemma rubbed her neck and caught the scent.

"Tyler." she whispered to herself. Klaus took Gemma's hand and they went and sat down.

"Not the most attractive community, are they?" Elijah said.

"You do realize they can hear you?"

"You do realize I don't care?" Marcel appeared, followed by some vampires and a witch, Sabine."

"You know, Elijah, I liked you better in that box." he turned to Klaus, "but Klaus, my sire, you I owe the world, and I always show respect to my elders. If your special lady friend is missing, you could benefit from the help of a witch. And, since I control all the roof the witches in this towns, I'll grant you one little locator spell. Sabine's the best guide in the Quarter. Need to find someone? I guarantee, she's your girl." Marcel went to leave

"Where you you going?" Klaus questioned him.

"I hate to cut this short, but the sun's coming up soon. My night-walkers need to get inside, and I have got a city to run. I leave you to track down your last sheep."

"Can you find her?" Elijah questioned Sabine when she arrived at the table they were sitting by.

"I can try." Sabine placed a cap on the table and cuts Klaus' hand. The blood traced along the map and stopped to where Hayley is being held, "she's in the back country way up past Houma, deep in the Bayou."

"I don't suppose you could be more precise?" Elijah questioned.

"What' the matter, Elijah? You're worried a bit of splashing about in the bog might ruin your expensive shoes?"
