When we arrived to New Orleans

When we arrived to New Orleans. I was already very tired and wanting to see a bed. Hayley was very excited about the chance to find her family. I am just hoping my family is resided here with Hayley's.
       Hayley and I started to get hungry. So we found this restaurant that we have been going to like nonstop.
      "Hey Jane Ann, how are you doing?" She chuckled and handed us our food. "You guys have been in here like crazy."
       I picked up my spoon. "Jane Ann, its this gumbo. Once, I pick it up. I can't stop." She held on to the menus and smiled.
      "You have Sophie to thank for this Gumbo. She makes the best homemade Gumbo in New Orleans." That was true. This gumbo was a game changer.
      Once, we were done. Hayley and I payed for our food. When we started walking out of the door, I was so focused on my thoughts. I didn't even noticed that I had bumped into someone.
        "Oh my God. I am so sorry. Forgive me." I said in a rushed tone picking up the persons items. I looked up to see Lissa and she was grinning.
       I dropped everything I was holding and hugged Lissa. "When did you arrive here? You should've texted me about it."
       "I wanted to surprise you and honestly Johnny was throwing a tantrum about me leaving. What an overprotective asshole" Lissa snorted and then we both bursted into laughter.
     I felt safe and comfortable with Lissa. She was always there for me even through my figuring out my banshee stuff and then werewolf stuff. She was like a sister to me.
     "I'm glad you're here idiot. Let's talk at my motel." I handed her a slip with Hayley and I's hotel address. In reality, we were using to the parking space to sleep in our cars.
     Hayley came out of a shop " I found a map-" Hayley was interrupted by Lissa wondering where we were going to find our parents at.
    "We've asked towns people about our parents but no one has heard of them even Eliana's" Lissa furrows her brows and I immediately knew that look. It was her thinking look.
       "Maybe, we can go to the library and find-" Someone knocked out Lissa with a bat and she fell down along with Hayley. I screamed my banshee scream until they had a washcloth with some sort of substance on my mouth.
     I tried to fight and pry my way out of their hold but they were to strong and soon I inhaled it and soon fell asleep into oblivion.
     I fell in and out of a deep sleep. I notice feet then some chanting then I realized that those were witches doing crazy ass rituals on me.
     "Bring her out!" Two witches picked me up by my arms and brought me over to this guy.
      "Who the hell are you?" I said irritated. He walked over to me.
     "Give us a moment, please." This guy told the witches. He went by me and touched my shoulder.
      We started talking about a few things. First off telling me that I am pregnant with my one night stand Klaus' s child.
     "So, have they been holding you here against your will?" The guy who I learned who's named Elijah who turns out to be Klaus brother.
      "They lured me out to the bayou and grabbed me. And they did all these... weird witchy tests. Not that I understand how this could happen. I mean, vampires are dead. They can't have children!" I yelled at Elijah. I just didn't understand how this could've happened.
   "Perhaps if you knew my brother's story, it might explain how this is possible. Here, if I may." Elijah told me . He tried to lay his hand on my temple but I recoiled and slapped his hand away from me.
     "What are you doing?" I asked him. He looked at me and said "Relax. If you open your mind to me, I can show you" I relaxed and he put his hand on my temple after I relaxed.
     He showed me about how Klaus found his brother dead and how his Mother and Father turned them into vampires.
    "He wasn't just a vampire." Elijah told me and then everything clicked in my head.
    "He was also a werewolf. That's how the werewolf curse works. It isn't activated until you take a life." I said. Like how I was half werewolf, half banshee.
    "Niklaus was the result of an indiscretion our mother had hidden from us all. An affair, with a werewolf like yourself" I wanted to tell him that I was half werewolf, half banshee but I decided not to.
    He showed me a flashback about how Klaus Mother suppressed his werewolf side.
      "Your dad was a dick." Elijah chuckled at my words. I might've chuckled at his words a little bit too.
      "I'm Eliana, by the way. You should probably know my name if you're gonna tell me your whole life story. I mean, I know yours. Your family is legendary. Your brother is a notorious psycho... who I slept with. Classic me" I told him basically exposing my bad parts of myself.
      "I cannot excuse his behavior, but you must understand, when our father hunted him - hunted us - for centuries, every time we found a moment of happiness, we were forced to flee. Even here, in New Orleans, where we were happiest of all. Not long after Niklaus broke the spell which prevented him from becoming a hybrid, he defeated our father. I thought this would make him happy. He was angrier than ever. I wonder if perhaps this baby might be a way for my brother to find happiness. A way to save him from himself." He told me and I thought about that. I glanced at my stomach and thought about this baby that will change the world.
    Then Sophie enters the room and says "I'm glad you feel that way, because we need your help."
     "What, precisely, is it that you want and what does it have to do with this young woman?" Elijah asks Sophie who she crosses her arms.
      "We want to run Marcel and his vampires out of town. Klaus is the key. Everything Marcel knows about being a vampire, he learned from Klaus. Marcel trusts him, looks up to him, and he won't see the betrayal coming." Sophie told us. That selfish witch. I protectively wrapped my arms around my stomach.
     Even if I haven't known about this pregnancy, I felt this need to protect my baby
     "Yes, well, as I'm sure you're aware, my brother Niklaus doesn't like to be told what to do." Elijah told Sophie glaring at her.
      "That's why I brought you here. Marcel drove the werewolves out of town decades ago. Do you really think he's going to welcome a hybrid baby to the neighborhood? Convince Klaus to help us, and no one has to know about the newest member of the Original family." Sophie told us, while grinning at her helper witches then back at us.
      "That sounds remarkably like blackmail." Elijah told the witches looking at Sophie.
       "Like I said, I'm desperate." Sophie told Elijah. How is she desperate. She is literally plotting against the father of my baby and then also probably using me for something of her  personal gain.
      Elijah brings Klaus over and he learns about the baby and he seemed angry because his face was contorted in anger.
    ""How dare you command me!?" Klaus yells at the witches. Then the Witches stepped forward confident.
     "No. It's impossible." Klaus said to the witches who seemed ready to attack any moment. I slid down the wall trying to catch my breath thinking about Lissa and Hayley who were knocked out along with me.
       "I said the same thing myself." Elijah told his brother Klaus who Klaus has yet to believe about the baby.
     "This is a lie. You are all lying. Vampires cannot procreate." Klaus told the everyone in the room but how do you explain this baby inside of me right now.
       "But werewolves can. Magic made you a vampire, but you were born a werewolf. You're the Original hybrid, the first of your kind. And this pregnancy is one of nature's loopholes." Sophie pointed out to Klaus who was walking around growling and mumbling under his breath.
          "You've been with someone else, admit it!" Klaus yelled in my face and I got very frustrated and I wanted whammy him in the face.
           "Hey, I've spent days held captive in a freaking alligator bayou because they think that I'm carrying some magical miracle baby. Don't you think I would've fessed up if it wasn't yours?" I yelled at him. He made me sick. I usually would yell at someone who yells at me.
      "My sister gave her life to perform the spell she needed to confirm this pregnancy. Because of Jane-Anne's sacrifice, the lives of this girl and her baby are now controlled by us. We can keep them save. Or we can kill them. If you don't help us take down Marcel, so help me, Eliana won't live long enough to see her first maternity dress."
   I gasped as I clutched my stomach as I started getting scared for my baby.
       "Wait, what." I said to them. They looked at me and then went back to what they were doing. I threw my hands up in frustration.
       "Enough of this. If you want Marcel dead, he's dead. I'll do it myself." Elijah told Sophie who at first she looked very amused.
         "No. We can't, not yet. We have a clear plan that we need to follow, and there are rules." Sophie pleaded. I can't believe this is happening to me. I just can't ever get a normal life.
        Elijah stared at Klaus awaiting his reaction.
   "How dare you command me, threaten me, with what you wrongfully perceive to be my weaknesses." Klaus yelled at the witches and then walked up to them and put his finger in his face.
     "I won't hear any more lies." Klaus yelled and walked away.
       "Niklaus! Listen." Elijah told him which made Klaus stop in his steps. Klaus stood by me and stared at my stomach and then his brother and then the witches.
      "Kill her and the baby. Why do I care?" He furiously walked away.
      "Screw this. I am out of here." I yelled at everyone. Ready to get up and leave.
         "No one touches the girl. I'll fix this." Elijah nods and goes after Klaus.
       When I was sitting down, waiting for this to all end, I suddenly heard the witches talking amongst themselves.
       "Marcel and his vampires are out of control. Something had to be done" Sophie said this old witch who's name is apparently Agnes.
       Agnes went forward and told Sophie "And the solution is to bring in more vampires?" Sophie shook her head no.
      "These aren't just any vampires, Agnes. They're the Originals." Sophie told Agnes who looked at her in disapproval.
      "What makes you think you can control the hybrid?" Agnes went and told Sophie. Elijah suddenly appeared which made me feel better or more relived. I stood up and walked to the wall and smiled at him in which he returned.
         "She can't. I'm not entirely certain that I can, either. But now that your coven has drawn his ire, I have a question: What prevents my brother from murdering you instead of cooperating?" Elijah asked the most pressing question I have ever heard. If I was her, I would feel question about this.
       Sophie takes out a needle and then shows it to the original then she sticks it in her hand.
     I felt this burning sensation then a sting "Ow!" I yelled.
       Their was a drop of blood on my hand. Then I looked at Sophie's hand.
     "What the hell!" I yelled at Sophie. What was happening? Why was their blood on my hand?
       Sophie started to explain what happened before I went off on her. "The spell my sister performed, the one that got her killed? It didn't just confirm the pregnancy. It linked me to Eliana. So anything that happens to me, happens to her, which means her life is in my hands. Klaus may not care about his own child, but it's very clear what it already means to you. If I have to hurt Eliana- or worse - to ensure that I have your attention, I will." Sophie threatened Elijah. I can't believe that she did that. My life is horrible. My sister died and my mom and dad went to live somewhere else because they can't stand the thought of me. The person who let her let killed.
      "You would dare threaten an Original?" Elijah told them in amusement and disbelief.
       Sophie grinned, " I have nothing to lose."
      The amusement and smiling that Elijah held as well stopped for some reason.
     "You have until midnight to get Klaus to change his mind." Sophie told Elijah. Elijah was in a predicament as I saw but I just kept quiet for the safety of me and my child.
     I stayed with Sophie and Agnes since they won't let me leave the place. The church clock started tolling.
      Agnes turned to sophie and said "His time is up. What're you gonna do now, Sophie?"
      Sophie shrugged her shoulder walked near me and said "I am going to do what I said I was going to do"
      Sabine went and argued " What kill the girl, kill yourself?"
     Agnes out of the blue said "Klaus does not care about the child" I felt out of the place in this situation.
      Elijah appeared and said "I do" This gave me relief because someone cared for my baby.
      He comes in carrying the body of Jane-Ann. Elijah says to the witches "And I bring proof of my intent to help you: the body of your fallen friend, which I procured from Marcel himself."
     Sophie ran over and said "Jane-Ann"
        "May she be granted peace. Klaus will agree to your terms. I just need a little more time." Elijah told them hoping that they will listen to him.
       "You had your time. It passed." Agnes told Elijah which resulted in Sabine telling her to shut up.
        "For now, accept the deal. The girl and the child remain unharmed, or Klaus will kill you all." Elijah went and gave them the deal which they had to accept for their friend.
    Elijah walks away and then swiftly said "And I will help him"
         Elijah comes to take me to this big house.
      I moved a white cloth sheet and coughed because of all the dust in the air.
    "Are you alright?" Elijah asks me. I was alright.
   "Just dust. This place is ancient." I told him while chuckling. I looked into the crib curiously.
     "Yes, it should serve our purposes. It's a sanctuary from our business in the Quarter. Right now, you are the most important person in this family. You need a good home. So I'm curious... in all this time, has anyone asked you how you feel?" Elijah asked me, "About having a miracle baby with a psychotic one-night-stand?" I told him and he looked at me as if I said something wrong.
       "About being a mother." Oh, he asked about that. That story.
       "I was left on someone's doorstep and this nice family took me in but my mom never payed attention to me only my sister and my dad is basically dead to me. But my sister was my best friend but she died in a shooting. So I don't know how to be a good mother because I never had a good one" I told him and he listened intently to my story.
   Klaus suddenly appeared, "And noble Elijah always keeps his word"
I thought Klaus to be an ass in my taste.
   "Is it done?" Elijah asks Klaus. Klaus walks to Elijah, "As a matter of fact, yes. Your underhanded deal worked quite well. Marcel was only too happy to accept my blood even as he accepted my heartfelt apologies. His man, Thierry, yet lives and I remain a welcome guest in the French Quarter. My only concern now is this coven of impudent witches" Klaus told his brother Elijah. Not bothering to see me in the room.
    Elijah says, " I believe them to be honorable. They did release Eliana to me. Although, they haven't been entirely forthcoming. Marcel obviously has something that they need. They don't want him dead. There must be a reason why"
    I was showed to a room that must've been mine. I wanted to text Lissa and Hayley but I wanted to rest
       I shut my eyes and slowly fell into darkness.
