EVA SINCLAIR WAS threat to them all as she fought for control of her mind and body back against Rebekah who lost the control of the witch's body. With how Eva had managed to have pushed her way through she had paid a late night visit to Hope's nursery, where she had attacked Klaus and Hayley as they tried their best to protect the baby unknown to what was happening around her as she laid in her crib. From the stories in which Esme had heard about the body that Rebekah possessed, she'd describe Eva Sinclair in one word, a 'nutter.' With the use of wild magic and a wild mind it caused for them to take action to get to Eva Sinclair for the sake of Rebekah who was still somewhat in her mind trying to fight against the crazy witch, Kol had put her in.
There wasn't much for Esme to do, not much help she could offer as it came to her last month of pregnancy, where everyone was cautious of her involvement in things difficult that could cause her to fall into labour. As much as she wanted to help with Rebekah and getting her to the point where she's safe, she couldn't and it caused a frown to play on her lips as she stood in the living room as Klaus tended to the box sitting on the shelf that homed shackles that prevented a witch from using their magic. "I should stop packing these away. There's always one family member or another in need of a good shackling." He handed the chains towards Marcel who had felt the wrath of Eva, where his neck had been snapped and he was given the worse migraine possible. "Find Rebekah, or Eva, or whoever the bloody hell that was. Use these to stop her from doing magic. And don't hurt her. The non-psychopathic bits are still my sister."
Marcel nodded as he worried for the sake of Rebekah. Eva Sinclair had a haunting history that made everyone wanting to keep their eyes opened for her knowing she was a danger to children specifically. "I won't be the only one looking for her. She killed the witch kids. The 24-hour hold that Elijah got the covens to agree to ended at midnight. Every witch in the city is gonna be gunning for her."
"Go to Elijah." Klaus ordered Hayley, who was settled beside Esme who was shifting on her feet while the werewolf leant against the desk. After seeing Eva go after Hope during the night, she wanted part of making sure that the witch wasn't going to be a threat to her daughter. "Get him to charm his elderly witch into calling off the hunt."
Hayley's brows furrowed in confusion. "And leave Hope?" She pondered with thought of how insane Klaus' choice was. "Don't you think I should stay and protect our daughter?"
"Jackson has been working night and day to secure this compound," Klaus reminded. "surrounding it with his werewolf army, not to mention that I'm here and so is Esme," A faint smile played on Esme's lips as she was practically stuck between the walls of the compound due to Klaus' over protectiveness. "who cannot really leave this building given that she's in her last month of pregnancy. I know the best way to protect our child is to get Rebekah out of that serial killer's body, and back into the original model."
