'Three years, he's been missing for three years. How is that possible the last time we spoke was . . . . . three years ago' Caroline thought to herself. 'Someone has got to know where he is'. She was shook out of her thoughts when she felt a small tug on her hand by the little cutie to her left. "Mommy, are we gonna see your friend now I'm hungry" Josie asked, "yea me too" Lizzie chimed in. Caroline crouched down to her daughters and pulled them close, "Well my little magic beans just give mommy one more minute OK and then we will find somewhere to eat". Caroline kissed both their heads before standing just in time because as she did the bartender walked passed again, "Sorry to ask again but are all the Mikealsons gone or is there someone else who would know where to find them?" Caroline asked begging in her mind that Klaus was somehow still in New Orleans and this woman was just mistaken.

The bartender rolled her eyes "umm . . I think there was a woman who lived with them and is now living out in the bayous in some cabin somewhere, you could ask her. I think her name was Hayley or something like that, sorry but I am gonna have to ask you to leave. Children are not allowed in here". " Oh yea OK thank you" Caroline replied glad she now had a lead even if it was Hayley. 'Maybe she has changed, she is a mother as well but if not a little neck snapping revenge wouldn't hurt', Caroline thought while walking with her girls out of St James Infirmary and out into the fresh air of the big easy.

"Mommy we're still hungry" Lizzie cried, "Oh yea sorry sweeties let's go find somewhere to eat and hopefully get directions to this cabin" Caroline spoke, whispering the last part to herself. As Caroline and her twins strolled down the busy street they stumbled upon another bar called Rousueaus but this one served food, which Caroline thanked her blessings because her girls may be cute but can sometime become little devils if they were hungry. 'Finally' she thought, "In here girls" Caroline said whiles guiding the twins into the bar.

As they entered a little chime sounded, unfortunately drawing all eyes to them. Caroline smiled and walked the twins to an empty table near the bar. When all was seated Caroline asked the girls what they wanted to drink and eat, "I want apple juice please mommy" Lizzie whispered still a bit drowsy from the long sleep in the car. "OK angel, what do you want Jo Jo Bean", " orange juice" "Orange juice what" "please mommy" Josie giggled. "You little rascals" Caroline said while jumping in to a tickle attack on her two most important people in her life.

"Hello can I get you anything" a waitress interrupted. "Oh yea, sorry um can we have one apple juice, one orange juice and a water please, oh and two small bowls of today's special". Caroline answered as the young waitress jotted down their order. As soon as the woman left Caroline cased her gaze to the other patriots of the establishment to see who she might be able to ask for directions. " mommy" "yes Lizzie" "Can me and Josie colour please" Caroline smiled, "yes of course sweetie" Caroline replied whiles fishing into her bag for the objects of her daughters affection.

When she retrieved them the girls faces lit up, 'They have always had a creative minds' Caroline thought. "Here you go girls and remember your not at home so please make sure you colour only the pictures and not the table" Caroline said sternly but it only lasted a second before she gave them a smile and a playful wink. "OK mommy" they answered in unison. Just then the woman came back with their orders, as she was about to leave Caroline asked if she knew the directions to the bayou or to this cabin or even if she knew Hayley. The waitress told her that her best bet was to ask Camille the bartender which she pointed to. Caroline thanked her before doing just that.

Making sure her girls were occupied and eating she stood up and walked over to the bar, only going a foot away from her daughters so they were still in her line of sight. "Hello excuse me can I ask you something" Caroline asked, "Oh yea sure what is it" Camille answered. "Well you see me and my daughters are looking for someone and unfortunately I don't know where he lives, so I'm trying to get to a cabin non the bayou" Caroline babbled. "Oh yea I can give you directions" Camille said whiles writing down on a piece of paper, 'I wonder if there father is a werewolf, that's why she wants to go to the bayou' Camille thought. "Thank you your a life saver" Caroline smiled picking up the map to her road to protection hopefully.

Caroline returned to the table just as the girls finished eating, "Was the the food good" she asked "yes" "yummy" they answered in unison. "Well before we meet Mommy's friend we are gonna have to make a quick stop hopefully to find out where he lives OK sweeties". With that said Caroline paid and thanked Camille again before whisking her girls back to the car to start on the journey to the Bayou.

As she drove Caroline thoughts kept stumbling back to Klaus 'will he still care, will he still protect me and my girls, has he moved on ... Caroline get grip your here for protection not a rendezvous in the woods . . . . again'. As she continued her journey she stopped a couple times to ask some people where she could find the cabin exactly, they where a bit weary at first till she dropped Hayley's name.

Finally she arrived to a small wooden house in the middle of the woods or well bayou. "We're here" Caroline told the twins and slightly to herself to confirm that she is really in this situation, but when she turned to the back seats only Lizzie was awake. They got out of the car and started towards the cabin, Caroline carrying Josie while holding Lizzie's hand praying that she was heading towards answers and not more trouble.

'Just knock on the door' Caroline thought 'Why haven't I knocked yet, . . . . . its easy just raise your hand and knock'. Caroline was surprised by how nervous she was, "Mommy why are you not knocking the door" Lizzie asked looking up at her mom. "Yea sweetie just give mommy a minute", 'maybe this was a bad idea, Hayley hates me . . . . . don't she. I can't remember . . . stop being a chicken Caroline' she yelled at herself in her head.

Caroline took a deep breath and slipped her hand out of Lizzie's long enough to knock three times on the door. In less time it took her to rehold Lizzie's hand the door swung open. " Caroline", There in the door way was the mother of Klaus's child Hayley. "Hayley hey" Caroline replied quietly not to wake up Josie, this is when Hayley took notice of the children in Caroline's presence. "What are you doing here" Caroline took a deep breath, "I'm looking for Klaus, have you seen him because I've been to the St James Infirmary and a rude bartender said he's been gone for three years which I'm having trouble believing so here i am, so where is he" Caroline rambled half nervous and half tired. Also she just remembered she needed to get a blood bag from the cooler in the car soon.

"Well she's not wrong, Klaus is gone well all the Mikaelsons are, kind of" Hayley answered. "What do you mean kind of" Caroline asked puzzled. Hayley sighed "Why don't you come in, its a long story. Mary can you invite her in" Hayley yelled to a woman inside the cabin. An elderly women appeared, she gave off the impression to Caroline that yes she maybe old but still full of fight. "She's a vampire" Mary stated, "yes I know but Caroline here is as soft as a bunny" Hayley replied. Caroline giving her a sarcastic smile and an eye roll in return.

"Come in then" Mary stepped away going back to whatever it was she was doing before. Hayley lead them to a small sitting area, "you can put her down there, long drive" Hayley offered gesturing to the two seated sofa. "Thanks, yea it was" Caroline said whiles lowering Josie onto the sofa and sitting down next to her. "This little one slept on the journey before we arrived" pulling Lizzie onto her lap. Hayley sat down opposite them.

"So start" Caroline stated fed up and wanting answers

"Well it began" Hayley started.
