Isn't it always

Everything happens for a reason. Layla has always told herself that. Growing up she never truly had a parent in her life. Stefan had taken her in after her adoptive mother and father had died in a car crash. He raised her from the age of 9. Even though he never had the intent to replace her mother and father but he did. In her eyes he was her father.

The girl was 23 now and she still called Stefan every day to tell him everything, to check in. He had stayed in Mystic falls but she didn't. She moved away 3 years ago. She began her own journey. She needed to fight her own battles.

The day she turned 21 her and her best friend Hayley got into a car accident. Layla being the driver. The person in the opposite car had died which triggered Laylas curse. Hayley was with her every step of the way. She walked her through everything. Stefan had even come to see her after she had told him.

Today the blonde and brunette found themselves in New Orleans, driving around in the middle of nowhere. "Hayls lets just try again in the morning. We'll get nowhere in the dark." Layla looked down at the map in her hands and kept flipping it, thinking it was upside down.

"Yeah okay." Hayley nodded.

Seemingly out of nowhere the map in Layla's hands was on fire. "What the hell!" Layla threw the map out the window to get the fire away from her.

Hayley's eyes were wide. "Lets go."

As Layla started backing up the car to turn it around the air around the car was filled with smoke.

"What the fuck is going on." Hayley looked around. She unbuckles her seatbelt and steps out of the car, Layla following her actions.

Layla closed the car door behind her and looked around. When her eyes reached Hayley's figure suddenly she felt light headed, her vision going black and white.

Her body began to give out, and suddenly she collapsed. Her body landing in the arms of Sophie Deverou.

When Layla came too she had no idea where she was. Groaning as she sat up, Layla brought her hand up to the back of her head.

"Good your awake." Sophie stood up from the place she was sitting.

"What do you want?" Layla squints.

"What do you know about Klaus Mikaelson?" Sophie looks expectantly.

"Wheres Hayley?"

"Is that her name? Shes fine, shes been causing trouble. Now answer the question."

Layla shook her head. "I'm not saying anything without Hayley."

Sophie rolled her eyes. "Bring her in!"

2 witches walked in with Hayley between them. "Layla!" The witches released her and Hayley ran forward, falling to her knees to bring Layla into her arms. "Are you okay? Did she hurt you?" Hayley pulled back and looked at Layla, making sure there was no scratch on her body. If she found one she would raise hell.

"Im okay. She didn't touch me." Layla smiled at Hayley.

Sophie cleared her throat. "Answer the question."Ok, ok, i don't know much. The only things i know is what i've heard and it isn't much. He lifted his curse which now makes him full hybrid, uhh i know he tried to make hybrids but we turned them all against him, oh! and i know he is very violent. Other than that i have no idea because i dont really know the guy all that well." The blonde shrugs her shoulders.

Sophie shook her head. "Done lie to me, i know that you know more."

"I dont." Layla shook her own head.
