Isn't it always

Somewhere deep in the bayou an Original, a Witch, a pregnant werewolf and a non pregnant werewolf are walking along the path to find some dead witches. While in the city of New Orleans the original hybrid is stalling his frenemy to keep his baby mama safe from harm.

"So this harvest thingy, tell me more." Rebekah says telling Sophie she wants to know more.

Looking around Sophie answers. "Klaus said to wait."

"Yes he also said to stay out of the bayou, and yet here we are amongst the crawly, buzzy creatures." Layla says in a 'duh' tone causing Rebekah to point at her.  "Besides when do you listen to what Klaus tells you Sophie?"

"We're here" Hayley tells the group.

The group of women look at all the dead bodies laying around. Layla breathes out feeling sick at the sight causing Rebekah to rub her shoulders. "Whoa" Hayley says walking up to a paw print in the ground. And then looks to the tree to see a scratch mark.

All of their eyebrows scrunch together. "Is that a wolf track?" Sophie asks.

Suddenly branches start to snap and Rebekah calls out. "Who's there?"

A man walks out of the trees looking at the girls. "What the hell? An original?" Then he vamp speeds away.

So they do the logical thing, call Niklaus. "Yes, and now that we've established that i am a failure as a sister, and a friend, and an original, you should probably know he is on his way to Marcel right now to rat me out, skinny guy, in a hurry, looks like he saw a ghost." Rebekah says into the phone.

"He's wearing a flannel i think!" Layla calls out so Klaus can hear her.

After a pause Rebekah speaks again. "I'm on my way."

walking back to the car after being in the bayou like all day Layla starts talking. "Those people, all this because of a vision about my baby you don't think its true."

Sophie opens the trunk and looks at her for a moment, "Look, I love Sabine, but she's the witch equivalent of a drama queen. I've learned to take a little stock in whatever she says or sees. Just kinda wish she'd kept her mouth shut."

Hayley gets in the car as Layla speaks. "The harvest ritual. you said you didn't believe in it, were you right?"

Sophie shakes her head. "No. I saw it with my own eyes. it was working, it was real."

Layla looks at Sophie in they eye. "So how can you be so sure Sabine's vision isn't true?"

Sophie doesn't answer, she just closes the trunk and gets in the car. Layla soon follows sitting in the back seat as Hayley took up the passenger seat.

Standing in the house, Rebekah, Layla and Hayley were all talking. "I don't care if we have to get both of you a leash. that was your last trip to the bayou." Rebekah states pouring three glasses of scotch. "What is it with you and those wolves, anyways Layla?"

"I feel like im connected to them somehow, i can't explain it so please don't make me. It's just a feeling i have in my gut you know. Like when it feels like just me against everything it keeps me focused and gives me some hope that i could know something about my birth parents." Layla says as Rebekah offers her and Hayley a glass. She furrows her brows as Hayley takes a sip of hers.

"Oh, right." Rebekah pulls back the drink and downs it. "Well, if you ask me family is a pain in the behind, and as for being in it alone, how dare you? I don't ruin a perfectly fabulous pair of boots traipsing through the bayou for just anyone."

"And i did not just risk possibly having a evil hybrid mad at me for you to feel alone either." Hayley points out as all three of them laugh.

"I love you girls." Layla says before the door is swung open and in walks a Niklaus.

"Nik finally-" Rebekah stops as someone else walks through the door.

Elijah Mikaelson himself.

Rebekah smiles and runs to hug him. "Oh, Elijah...you're safe." Elijah looks up at Layla and she smiles at him, and then turns to Hayley who smiles and walks out of the room. "Now that you are home , is your first plan to kill Niklaus."

"Excuse me just a moment." Elijah looks at his sister before walking in the same direction Hayley left in.

Rebekah looks after him and turns to Nik. "where's he going?"

Layla smiles. "My dearest Bekah. He is going after Hayley who just walked off in that direction just before him. Oh and we can't forget the goo goo eyes they were making when he walked in the door." Layla exclaims making big hand gestures.

Klaus smiles and Rebekah and Layla laugh. Layla looks at him and smiles. He smiles back as Rebekah walks out of the room laughing. "Thank you." Layla says to him.

Klaus looks at her. "For what love?"

"For not ripping my head off once you walked in the door. Because i didn't listen to a word you said about staying out of the bayou." Layla says walking closer to him.

"Oh i have not forgotten, we will talk about it later." Nik says as she pouts.

"Darn it, i thought i was gonna get out of that one." He shakes his head laughing as she walks closer and hugs him. "And thank you for making sure i am always safe, because i know that's what you do even though you don't want to admit it. Oh! i almost forgot, today i learned something new."

Klaus rests his head on top if hers as he wraps his arms around her waist. "And what is that?"

"i learned that Hayley and Sophie can hold an argument over which direction we should go for an hour and a half." Layla smiles at the new memory she made with Hayley and Sophie.

Klaus laughs, "You didn't do anything?"

"Oh no i did, i just wanted to see them argue." Layla tells him as Rebekah calls out for them.

"GET YOUR BLOODY ARSES IN HERE WILL YOU."

"That's our cue." Layla pulls Klaus by the arm into the other room every one is in. He sits on a chair as she sits on Bekah's lap so Rebekah can do the girls hair.

Elijah starts to speak from his seat. "Everything that brought us here to New Orleans was a lie, this story that Sophie Deveraux fabricated, this struggle for control of the french quarter, this war between vampires and witches, wasn't over territory at all. this was over Davina. (flash back) 8 months ago Sophie Deveraux and her sister jane-anne lost everything. Now, 4 months after that, a young, pregnant girl wanders into their restaurant with her best friend. Suddenly, all hope is renewed. jane-anne actually sacrificed her life so that her sister could use you to find Davina. If Sophie Deveraux is successful in capturing Davina, she can return jane-anne's daughter back to life. We thought we had come here to wage a war for power. This is about family. In order to return her niece to life, Sophie Deveraux will fight to the death. That makes her more dangerous than anyone.
