Alex's P.O.V (Outfit Above ^^^)
Victor was outside of the old shack in the Bayou, where he was wrestling and playing with a handful of young children. They're all pulling on his arms and legs to try to get him to fall over as Victor laughed happily. Hayley was watching them and I could see her engagement ring shining in the sun. She had the biggest smile on her face and I was so happy they found each other. Rebekah was also home in her new body, according to the quick text Klaus sent me this morning when she showed up. I stopped watching Hayley and Victor when I sensed someone watching me. I sped over to a wooded area nearby, where I found Marcel and shoved him against a tree, catching him off-guard.
"Ahhh! Whoa!" Marcel said startled. He saw me staring blankly at him and nervously put up his hands to show he's not a threat. "Wait! I'm not here to hurt you!"
"Well, stalking me is a very funny way of showing it. You're lucky we're friends, or I would have just killed you," I told him.
"Okay, remember our friendship when I tell you why I'm here. Finn sent me to get your blood," He said and I looked at him confused.
"Why would Finn want my blood?" I asked.
"I assume he needs it for a locator spell... to find your children," Marcel said and his words hit me like a freight train.
"No." This can't be happening. Not now. Not when we're so close. I looked around anxiously to make sure no one was listening in. "How does he know?" I asked.
"He put two and two together," He said.
"Where's Finn now?"
"I don't know. He said he'd tell me where to meet him later. But listen - I gotta give him something. He's killing one of my guys every hour until he gets it," Marcel explained.
"Will Finn know if you come back to the Quarter with me?" I asked him.
"Yes," Marcel quickly answered.
"Then stay here and text Victor. I need to talk to Klaus," I said.
"Alex-"
"Just stay here, I'll be back as soon as I can," I begged then rushed away, leaving Marcel looking anxious and scared.
~At the Compound~
I stormed into the compound, tears full of fear were collecting in my eyes as I made the trip here. Finn knew. It wasn't anyone's fault. He simply figured it out and sadly I couldn't kill someone because of that. Klaus was on his knees in the courtyard and stood up as I rushed up to him. "Alex, what are you doing here?" Klaus asked, then noticed my tears. "What's wrong?"
"He knows Klaus," I said, letting a tear fall. "Finn knows." Klaus' grip on me got tighter and he looked me dead in the eye.
"How?"
"Marcel said he just put two and two together," I explained. "Marcel also came to the Bayou, asking for my blood because Finn needed it for a locator spell in order to find them. He's killing one of his guys every hour until Marcel brings it to him, or something that will fool him at least."
