The secret Mikaelson child

We found Waldo, in a sense.

Me and Benji are sitting down in a booth at Rousseau's brainstorming on how we'll find out who my father is and wherever the hell he is.

"So do you even know his name?" Benji questioned me, we hit a brick wall, neither of us were there at the wedding so we don't know anything that could get us started.

"No, I don't know anything," I stressed out, it's a lot harder than I thought it would be. "Maybe we could ask someone who's was there, like your mum for example?"

"I thought we weren't getting people involved?"  Benji sighed.

"Not my family, anyone else that might've been there we definitely should ask them or else we won't get anywhere."

"I've got a better idea." Benji put his hand in his pocket and displayed his iPhone in the air. I grinned at the device, our saviour, "behold the miracle of modern technology" benji stated proudly.

"You're a genius, we can google it and not have to involve anyone else!" I squealed at him.

"Okay so all we have to do is search, Maya... Desrosiers matrimonial ceremony with..." Benji was typing into his phone like he was Penelope Garcia of the FBI tracking down an unsub, it was quite funny actually.

"Does the name Xavier Montgomery mean anything to you?" Benji chimed.

"No, it doesn't. Who is he?"

Benji brought the phone to my face and showed a picture of my mother in a wedding dress beaming next to a man that seemed oddly familiar.

Then it hit me.

"Oh my gosh, I know this man," Benji looked confusingly at me, "Benji I know this man, not know, know him but I've seen a picture of him." I carried on, ignoring his questioning looks hopeful that if I kept talking it would all make sense.

"My mum has this chest a-and when I was little I went in there and I saw this picture of him and my mum, they were younger but I just assumed they were friends." I expressed, Benji's face looked less confused almost like he was understanding where I was going.

"Benji, that's my-"

"Hey kids, you guys alright do you want anything to drink?" I was interrupted by my mum holding a tray of beverages on one hand.

"We're alright mu-" Seriously what is with all the interruptions lately.

"Maya, oh my god."

A tall brunette walks towards my mum, going in for a hug but stops when she notices the drinks.

"Hayley, how are you?" My mum asked smiling at the tall brunette who now I know is Haley.

"Oh I'm fine, I'm really sorry for your loss and sorry I couldn't be at the service, my daughter has a funny thing with time." Hayley chuckled at my mum.

"Oh yeah you have a daughter, where is she I would love to meet her?" My mum placed the drinks in front of me and Benji as she searched the room for Hayley's mystery child.

"She's around somewhere, I should get going back to the Bayou, it was nice you seeing you again though." Hayley stated whilst backing away into the crowd.

"Yeah, you too."  My mum replied after her, then turning to us and focusing on me, "y/n we're going to stay for two more hours and then we'll head home." She then turned her gaze to Benji, "Benjamin, have you got someone to take you home?" She inquired

"No Ms Desrosiers, my mom left a while ago."

"Okay you can ride with us, I'll drop you off." My mum left before he could tell her thank you or no thank you, but either way this worked out better because now we can figure more stuff about my dad. Man that feels weird, my dad.

"Okay back to research, does it say anything else about him?" I questioned Benji

"Hm, give me a second here kid." He smiled whilst typing into his phone, "oh that's weird..." he trailed off

"What? What's weird?" I asked

"It says he lives in the Bayou," Benji mumbled, however again with the Bayou, that is the third time I'm hearing it this week.

"Okay what is the Bayou?" I quietly demanded.

"Y/n do you know what's even in the Bayou?" Benjiiii whispered

"No, but it's the third time I'm hearing about it, plus if my dads there, then that's where I need to go." I muttered.

"Y/n, you don't want to go there right now, it's been infested with creatures that you don't want to be around." He insisted.

"Okay what the hell does that even mean?" I demanded him again.

Benji sighed before answering me, "nothing, just promise that if you're going to go, you'll wait for me, okay?"

"Okay."

I couldn't sleep, I mean how could anyone after finding out about their dad, I've been waiting 16 years for this and I'm finally going to meet him soon, this feels like a dream I never thought I'd live.

After tossing and turning for a number of minutes I give up, flinging the covers away from my body I tiptoe towards my bag and pull out my laptop and quietly tiptoe back to my bed. I plug in my headphones before turning it on so I don't wake my mum. I couldn't help but let my fingers type in the name that has been keeping me up all night.

Xavier Montgomery.

I needed to know more about him, where he went to school, is he single still? Or did he get married again? Does he have another child?

I couldn't find much, this is a man that likes to stay off the radar, like me. I smiled at the thought. I felt a wave of emotions and suddenly inspiration struck me, I crept towards my easel that held a blank canvas and picked up my paint palette I closed my eyes and dipped my brush into the paint and lead my arm to the canvas, letting my hands, my fingers and the paint brush display the emotions I'm feeling onto the canvas.

After half an hour I step back admiring the work I've created, it seemed like one of my best yet. After viewing my work for a few minutes a yawn escapes my mouth, I happily went back to my bed and fell asleep thinking tomorrow's another day, it's another day closer to finding him.
