WHAT IS A VAMPIRE? The definition given in Webster's International Dictionary is: a reanimated body of a dead person believed to come from the grave and wander about by night with a dangerous craving for blood. Whitney's Century Dictionary says that a vampire is: a kind of spectral body which, according to a superstition existing among the Slavic and other races on the Lower Danube, leaves the grave during the night and maintains a semblance of life by sucking the warm blood of living men and women while they are asleep.
Lucien was a vampire. The worst kind. The kind that lies and steals and cheats. Turns out that he is the face behind Kingmaker Land Development. He is the enemy. He has been from day one. Kidnapping Freya and stealing the white oak only verified that. You see, while they had been busy dealing with the resurrection of Kol and Finn as well as the loss of Klaus and Enola, he was able to sneak right in and steal the last remaining piece of the white oak. All because they didn't see him as a big enough threat. And who would? The guy was an absolute clown.
But Lucien was also the reason Klaus and Enola were in a rundown diner in the middle of nowhere trying to piece together a plan they weren't sure would work. All they knew is that they needed to get Hope to safety while they followed leads. Everyone else had their hands full searching for Freya and trying to figure out what Lucien was up to. Everyone except for one person. Hayley. They had to trust her not to kidnap Hope again. They had to trust her enough to get through this.
"Hope is down for the count. She fell asleep as soon as Hayley started the car. I doubt she will miss either of us over the next few days." Enola hummed, sliding into the booth across from Klaus. He was looking down at the list they had compiled and she was growing impatient. "So which one of these Kingmaker offices should we hit up first? There are ten of them." She paused, looking up when he didn't respond. "What is it?"
"Lucien has revealed his true nature. He has taken Freya." Klaus muttered deep in thought. He felt so useless all the way out here. While everyone was running around like a chicken with its head cut off, he was sitting comfortably in a diner a few hundred miles away."Now it would seem her rescue depends on Elijah working with my ever reliable brother Finn—you remember Finn, right? The dullard I kept in a box for nine hundred years?"
"How could I forget? My friends killed him. Then your mom resurrected him and he became a lunatic witch hell bent on destroying us all. Until he was locked away in Freya's handy dandy pendant until he was recently resurrected with Kol." Enola chuckled. She paused. "You want to go back to New Orleans to help with the hunt." She nodded her head in an understanding manner. "Fine. You should go. I will stick with Kingmaker though. Lucien is working very hard to cover up these wolf kidnappings and I want to know why."
