One Wrong Turn On Bourbon

The next day, Lizzie was concentrating on the grimoire in front of her as a voice said, startling her "Morning."

Lizzie was wearing a T-shirt with a leather jacket, a green pant and some boots.

Lizzie turned her voice to look at Klaus, who stood beside her. She flashed him a warm smile "Hey."

Klaus took a seat beside her at the table. He interwinded his hands in front of him as he nodded at the grimoire and asked "What are you doing?"

"Trying to find a spell to pinpoint Hayley's location. I've half written my own spell, and half trying to find the other half. It's so confusing. I can break through a cloaking spell, but it's like she doesn't exist."Lizzie told him.

"So she is like dead?" Klaus asked.

"No, that doesn't mean she's dead, she's just definitely not in New Orleans."Lizzie said, shaking her eyes.

"I have to talk to some puney human." Klaus said.

"Declan. He's Hayley's friend. Nik, you better not hurt him, okay? Andrea adored him and he's Cami's cousin."Lizzie exhaled.

"All right, I won't hurt him. Meerly talk to, but we both know how my little chats go when people don't co-operate."Klaus agreed before smirking.

"Nik!"Lizzie yelled as he rushed out of the compound.

Lizzie then decided to go see Freya.

"Klaus is in town."Were the first words Lizzie heard as she headed towards Vincent and Freya, who were sat on a park bench in the centre of Jackson Square.

"Of course."Vincent said sarcastically.

"We're in town to find Hayley and then we will be back to Jericho."Lizzie told them as she came to a halt beside them.

"Lizzie!"Freya said as she stood from the bench and wrapped her arms around her.

"So, about Hayley. She's been missing a couple of days, I haven't been able to locate her either."Freya then says.

"There has to be someone in this city that knows something."Lizzie stated.

Freya glanced behind her to a black woman with long hair sat at a generic psychic booth and says "Well there's Faye. She can predict if anything is going to happen. How's Klaus?"

"This thing with Elijah keeps sending him over the edge. I have been working on a way to get Elijah's memories back now that I know where he is." Lizzie says.

"Where is he?" Freya asked.

"Monasque, France. Back to the other topic. How's the city been the past week or so?" Lizzie cleared her throat.

"Changing. Andrea brought a hybrid back to the pack in the bayou."Freya told her.

"The kid's here? That seems a little odd that the person she turned happens to live in New Orleans too."Lizzie asked.

"Does it?"Freya questioned.

It fell silent before Freya then said "I have to go see someone. It's really important."

Freya then left.

Later on, as Lizzie entered Josh's apartment, there was someone stood by the large windows. It wasn't Josh, it was Marcel.

"Hey, Marcel." Lizzie smiled.

"Lizzie." Marcel greeted and the two hugged each other.

He added "I didn't know you were in town."

"Klaus is in New Orleans too. We are just here for a few days until we find Hayley. She's missing, she has been for days and I can't track her."Lizzie explained.

"Can I help?" Marcel asked.

"I think so. I didn't want to tell Klaus purely cause he'll be biased on this. But I think the reason I can't find Hayley is because blood magic is cloaking her."Lizzie responded.

"You think Andrea kidnapped her own mom? It can't be."Marcel scoffed.

"I know it sounds crazy but she probably didn't do it alone. My guess Liv or Josie probably help her. Look, in all the years I know Andrea, never has she done something as bad as turning her friend into a hybrid. And I can guarantee she knows the consequences of doing that. Not to mention, the kid lives in the city."Lizzie told him.

"So you're saying Andrea did it on purpose?" Marcel asked.

"Maybe to bring her dad back. Both Jackson and Faye were on a killing spree and maybe they knew it would need something big to get him back in New Orleans. And back in Mystic Falls, Klaus made hybrids because they would become his sired minions and do as he told them. I think Andrea's taken a leaf from his dark past and done the same."Lizzie continued.

"And you want me to find the kid, see what he knows?" Marcel asked.

"Yes. Let me know when you find him, I have a couple of questions to ask myself."Lizzie responded.

"Will do."Marcel told her.

An hour later, Lizzie was still in Josh's apartment. Marcel had called Josh and the two had gone to the bayou to find this hybrid kid that Andrea had turned.

Marcel and Josh had returned five minutes ago and had chained this young boy to the stair railings. Josh looked at him in concern and said " Okay, uh, underage hybrid chained up in my house... to be clear, the optics on this are not awesome."

"I thought you were gonna bury me alive."The young hybrid spoke, he was shivering in fear.

"Well, first we got a few questions. Let's call it a fair trial. All right, we heard what you said to Lisina. Why don't you think Hayley Marshall's gonna keep protecting you?" Marcel demanded as he grabbed the kid by the jacket and lifted him into the hair.

"Marcel!" Lizzie said.

"Where is she?" Marcel frowned.

"I don't know."The kid squirmed in fear.

"What did you do to her?"Lizzie asked as she knew Marcel wouldn't let him down until he got answers.

"Nothing. I don't... I don't know where she is. Just please don't ask me any more questions."The kid stated.

Marcel let the kid's body drop before turning to Josh and Lola, saying "I mean, look at him. He's a gnat. I mean, there's no way you took on Hayley Marshall by yourself."

"Henry. Who are you protecting?"Josh asked.

"His sire."Marcel exhaled.

"Marcel, a word." Lizzie said and moved off towards the window. He followed after her. She turned to look at him before saying "If this really Andrea's doing, like I thought, I don't understand the point in making us all worry and suffer. Yes, I know I said she probably did it to get Faye and her dad back but they are back now."

"Neither do I. But we need to tell Klaus and Kol."Marcel responded before pulling his phone from his pocket.

Lizzie grasped Marcel's arm, pulling the phone down a little before could make a call. She hesitated as she thought about the outcome "We can't let anyone else know this was Andrea, okay?"

"It's all on Henry."Marcel agreed.

"Right. But I feel as though this thing with Hope may spiral, she's never acted like this before, Marcel. We need to act on it before it becomes something bigger."Lizzie said.

"Let's deal with this first."Marcel responded as he dialled Klaus number.

Ten minutes later, Lizzie turned from the bedroom doorway and to Josh, who was returning to the apartment after leaving with an unconscious Henry and said "Henry's in my trunk, let's go."

Lizzie's phone began to ring in her pocket. She pulled it out to see Theo' name on the screen. She quickly answered it.

"Mom?" Theo said.

"Theo? Has something happened?" Lizzie asked.

"It's Andrea. She's trapped Dad, uncle Kol and Uncle Jackson in the living room with her. Me, Liv, Josie and Hope can't break the spell. Aunt Jo is trying to break the spell but..."Theo stated.

"What? I'm on my way."Lizzie gasped as she ended the call and shoved her phone back into her pocket. She rushed toward Marcel, who was now stood near Josh and she said "Marcel, I hate to do this but I got to go."

"What happened?" Marcel frowned in concern.

"There's no time to explain."Lizzie responded before leaving.

 Lizzie was in the compound courtyard in thirty seconds. Theo, Hope, Liv, Josie, Faye and Jo rushed toward her.

Faye was wearing a T-shirt with a small pant and some boots.

"They're in the stairwell. She's spelled the doors too, we can't get in."Faye explained.

"You really think I'm broken? Maybe you're right. Maybe that little girl you miss so much would be better off if she'd never loved you at all."Lizzie heard Andrea's voice from close by. Lizziestormed towards where it was coming from.

Through the glass and the infamous M crest on the doors, she could see Jackson, Klaus and Kol's backs and Andrea in front of them, looking as though as if Andrea had been crying for a while.

"Andrea! Open the door!" Lizzie called out.

"i just wanted a moment with my dad. And he think I'm broken."Andrea said.

"No, he doesn't. Open the doors." Lizzie responded.

Andrea hesitated before raising her hands and letting the magic free. The doors pulled open and Lizzie rushed inside.

"You wanted your dad, well you got it. You're going to grab your stuff and once we are going home, you will be grounded. Off you go." Jackson told her daughter.

Andrea sighed and head upstairs to grab her stuff.

Hope, Theo, Liv, Josie, Faye and Jo walked into the room.

Twenty minutes later, Klaus, Kol, Faye and Lizzie were heading down the aisle of St. Anne's church to get Hayley. Lizzie let out a sigh "I just don't know why she's acting out all of a sudden. Why now?"

"Hm. I assume it's all this teenage... stuff." Kol trailed off and flailed his hands.

"Hormones."Faye corrected.

They began to ascend the stairs up to the attic as Lola said "The same will be happening with Hope, Theo, Josie and Liv. The mood swings, the feeling towards parents, wanting to be free."

Klaus exhaled before opening the door of the attic "Andrea was boasting about a cloaking spell and a sleeping spell she put on Hayley, I assume you can break it."

"I can try."Lizzie responded.

They entered to room before immediately coming to a halt. The coffin was on the floor, open and destroyed. There was blood amongst the mess and definite signs of struggle.

"Fuck."Lizzie said.

Later, they entered the Marshall-Kenner cabin in the bayou, where Andrea was now sat on the sofa. Her eyes instantly flew up to meet theirs. She noticed Hayley wasn't with them and she asked "Where's Mom?"

"Andrea, we went to the church to get her. She wasn't there."Kol told her before exhaling.

"What? No. I protected her. I wrote the perfect cloaking spell, I kept her safe. I... I don't understand. The coffin was just empty?" Andrea frowned.

"The coffin was destroyed."Faye responded.

"Whatever happened to her didn't happen without a fight. Look, I know it wasn't your intention for someone to get hurt. Sweetheart, look at me. I'm gonna fix it."Klaus told Andrea as he saw Andrea was breathing heavily.

"I called Principal Weems. You will go back to Nevermore tonight, I need to know you're safe. I will bring back Hayley. I swear." Klaus promised, as he kissed her forehead.

Andrea nodded.

A few moments, Freya was talking with Liv and she asked her daughters "You okay?"

"I'm just so tired of this."Liv responded, her eyes filling with tears.

"I know. I've been looking for years for a solution to get Elijah back, Liv." Freya sighed.

"Can we not write one?" Liv asked.

"It's not that easy. It's not like a cloaking spell or boundery spell, it's much more complex. Memories spells are tricky that way. But I promise you, we will find a loophole, and you will be able to see your dad."Freya told her.

"Promise?" Josie asked her mom.

"Have I ever broken one?" Freya replied.

"No. We heard Henry was taken from the bayou."The twins responded.

"Marcel's taken him to the garden." Freya told them.

Meanwhile, Klaus was talking with Lizzie.

"Andrea's friend is making sure she get back to the Bennett Academy tonight."Klaus told her as they stood in the courtyard.

"She'll be fine, Nik."Lizzie said, noticing how worried Klaus was about his niece.

"I hate it. Seeing her like this."Klaus sighed.

"I know. But now we're back in New Orleans I am going to search every inch of this city to find some way to undo this. I will break Kai's spell on Elijah. We will get him back."Lizzie told him.
