Isn't it always

      Klaus paces as he waits for Sophie to walk in and when she does he speeds her back to the house and sits her in a chair. "We had a deal, you protect my unborn child and my girl i dismantle Marcel's army, and whilst i've been busy fulfilling my part of the bargin, you allowed Layla to be attacked and almost killed by a gaggle of lunatic witches."

"I had nothing to do with it i swear." Sophie shakes her head. "Layla and i are linked, remember? she dies, I die."

"Then who were they?" Rebekah speaks up from her place in the room.

"They're a faction of extremists. Sabine stupidly told them about some vision she had about the baby." Sophie states.

Klaus who is seated on the couch across from the witch asks. "What kind of vision?"

"She had them all the time. They're totally open to interpretation. I'm guessing she's wrong on this one." The dark haired witch tells the two originals.

Klaus sits up in his spot on the couch while talking. "Well, how, may i ask, was this particular vision interpreted?"

Sophie closes her eyes trying to think. "Pretty much that your baby would bring death to all witches."

His head perks up a bit. "Ah, well, i grow fonder of this child by the second."

Rebekah sits on the couch and speaks. "Sophie, look. I promised Elijah that i would protect the Mikaelson miracle baby whilst he tries to win your witch Davina's loyalty. Why don't you tell me just how extreme this faction is?"

Sophie looks at her. "Elijah's talking to Davina?"

"Yeah, as we speak, i imagine."

Sophie nods at what Rebekah said. "I'm guessing she'll have plenty to say about that crowd."

Klaus holds his hands out and sits back on the couch. "Do tell." 

"I wasn't always an advocate for the witches." Sophie starts. "My sister was devoted like our parents, and our upbringing was very strict. Which drove me nuts. The minute i turned 21 i left the quarter to travel; and play, but i wanted to be a chef. So i came back to Rousseau's."

(Just imagine the flashback here)

"What the bloody hell is a harvest?" Rebekah asks with a confused look on her face.

"It's a ritual our coven does every 3 centuries so that the bond to our ancestral magic is restored, we appease our ancestors they keep our ancestral power flowing." Sophie explains.

"And why haven't i heard of this." Niklaus asks the witch who is linked to the women carrying his child.

"Because the Harvest always seemed like a myth." She explains with her eyes squinted and shaking her head. "A story passed down through generations like Noah's ark  or the buda walking on water. The kind some people take literally and some people don't."

(flashback)

"They had the girls of our community preparing for months. 4 would be chosen for the harvest they said that it was an honor, that they were special. I thought it was a myth." Sophie looks between the two originals as she speaks.

"Was it?" Rebekah asks with her eyebrows furrowed.

Suddenly Klaus's cell phone rings so he answers it. He stands up and starts speaking. "Marcel, bit early in the day for you isn't it?"......"Rather you then me, all that responsibility seems like such a bore." ....."Dead witches in the bayou. Sounds like less of a problem and more like a cause for celebration." ....."Well, why not? I haven't been to the bayou in ages. I'm on my way"
