Gotta get away, gotta get to safety, gotta make it. The world was edged in hazy black as Enola fought to keep moving forward. She had finally made it out of the dense thick woods of the swamp to the crowded streets of the city. People barely noticed her stumbling along the cobble stones, clinging to the walls of every building she passed by.

She tripped barely able to catch herself before her face met the ground making her groan out in pain. She somehow managed to pull herself back up, shaky legs taking one step at a time slowly. She was almost there, just a little further and she could rest she told herself. Her body was screaming at her to just stop but her spirit refused to give up driving herself forward, even as the pain tore little sounds from her throat with every step. The fuzzy edges of the world were growing thicker with every minute that passed fighting to make the world disappear, but finally she saw the street address she'd been looking for. She forced herself to stand up and walk as best she could till she made her way to the huge door in front of her. She managed to knock a few times before her legs gave way and she crashed into the stone wall beside her.

The world started to swirl as she slumped against the doorway, and she faintly heard the sound of footsteps approaching the other side of the heavy door. She coughed harshly a sudden strong metallic taste hitting her tongue as the door finally opened. She could barely make out the figure before her, her eyes fading to solid black but she managed to whisper one thing before her body won out and she slipped into unconsciousness. "Hayley..." and then her world went black and everything faded away.

Elijah sighed setting down his book as he heard a knock at the door, it wasn't a very strong knock so he knew better than to wait for someone else to answer it. He made his way to the door pulling it open to find the limp body of a young girl slumped inside the doorway. He knelt down as he heard her whisper out Hayley's name, he saw blood trickling from the corner of the girls mouth and then he began to notice the dark bruises and abrasions marking her body.

He quickly scooped up her limp unconscious body and flashed into the house laying her out carefully on the nearest couch. "Hayley!" Elijah called as he looked over the frail girl "Hayley quickly please." He pressed his fingers to the girls throat searching for a pulse, he found it weak but there lightly thumping beneath his fingers. Just then he heard Hayley's familiar footsteps coming down the stairs "What's the big emergency Elijah, I was putting Hope down for her nap." He took a step back from the couch and motioned to the girl with his hand. Hayley looked confused as she walked closer until she saw the girls face " Oh god..Enola" she said breathlessly voice full of concern and panic as she rushed to her side. She knelt by the girl brushing hair back from the her face gently.

"I found her outside the door like this the poor thing...She only managed to whisper one thing before she lost consciousness...your name," he said as he paced back and forth behind her. Hayley carefully looked Enola over noting each injury on her body as she went. "God..what happened to you kid," Hayley whispered looking at all the bruises on Enola's face, a large hand shaped bruise around her throat. Hayley carefully lifted her ripped shirt revealing severely bruised ribs, she raised her hand o touch them but suddenly Elijah's hand appeared on her wrist stopping her before she touched the wounds.

"I'd say those are broken..possibly puncturing a lung" he said motioning to the girl's mouth "I noticed blood around her mouth as I brought her in" he said quietly as his eyes trailed over the girl. He noticed her shorts were torn as if someone had tried to rip them from her. As his eyes moved lower he saw hand shaped bruises on her thighs accompanied by thick scratches. He made a disgusted sound as he tore his eyes away, "She's been...assaulted, in the worst possible way.." he muttered voice full of disgust as he zoomed from he room. It took a minute for Hayley to see what he'd seen and then angry tears filled her eye's as she brushed her fingers along Enola's cheek gently.

Elijah swept back into the room moments later Freya following close behind. She walked past him and knelt by Hayley placing her hand on the girls forehead, reaching out with her mind searching the girls as Klaus came through the door. Just as he was about to ask what the bloody hell was going on Elijah raised a hand to silence him motioning to Freya and Hayley hovering over the limp body of a beaten girl in ragged clothes. Klaus slowly moved closer but remained silent as he watched the expressions on his elder sister's face.

Suddenly Freya gasped her eyes snapping open as she gently removed her hand from the girl's forehead to tenderly run her fingers through her hair. "Oh you poor girl" she muttered softly as she stood up and turned towards her brother's. With a long sigh she looked at Klaus then Elijah "She was a attacked by 3 men in their late 30's maybe early 40's, she knew them. She'd been running here to Hayley but they found her out near the bayou. The oldest one tried to.." she paused with a look of disgust.,"He tried to force himself on her, she fought back so he and the other two tried to beat her into submission." She cast a smile back at the unconscious girl "but she's strong she got away and..some how forced herself all the way here."

Freya quickly brushed by her brother's "She's strong but her injuries are severe even with vampire blood she's going to need help, I've got to get a few things." She paused at the stairs "She's going to need blood stronger than Hayley's. Elijah's will do but Klaus's would be best, you two figure it out while I'm gone" with that she ascended the stairs and disappeared. "I'll do it" Elijah said without a thought as he walked over to the couch unbuttoning his jacket with a sweeping motion as he sat at the young girl's feet. Klaus rolled his eyes and let out an exasperated sigh, "Hayley who is this girl and..should I just let Elijah give her his blood or do it myself?" he asked as he took a seat on the arm of the couch above the girl's head.

Hayley sat back on the floor and looked back and forth between the two brothers. She sighed and pushed her hand back through her hair "Her name is Enola Coldwater..she's the daughter of a pack alpha from the blue ridge mountains." she said picking up Enola's hand and holding it in hers. "Ah so just another little wolf then" Klaus said as he moved to get up. Hayley ignored him "Last i knew she'd never triggered the curse and she's more than just another wolf Klaus" Hayley said glowering at him "she's the sweetest girl and more loyal than anyone I've ever met." Klaus relaxed back into his seat letting his eyes drift over to the frail figure beside him, his eyes took note of the bruises and scrapes covering her smooth pale skin.

The tears in her clothing helped his mind paint a picture of what Freya had described earlier. His throat tightened a little as his eyes caught sight of the large finger shaped bruises coloring the skin of her thighs almost spanning the whole way round. He tore his eyes away turning back to Hayley as she stared at the girl. "She's also half witch" she said quietly, Elijah looked at her a bit perplexed "A wolf and a witch?" he asked curiously and she nodded. "I staid with her pack for a while when I was younger she was barely 15 then, she didn't exactly fit in she's quiet..keeps to herself, most of the other's avoided her because she wasn't like them."

Hayley sighed and kissed the girl's hand before she continued her story "Her mom died when she was 7 so she never had anyone to teach her how to control her magic..sooo sometimes things would happen around her. Her father tried to help as much as he could but she still spent most of her time staying away from people." Hayley smiled a little looking at the girl, "I don't know how many times I found her alone under a tree scribbling away in her sketch book, she could draw the most beautiful things...We'd talk for hours out in the woods about everything she always listened never judged. I know I'm making her sound like this sweet fragile thing, but she's also strong and though it takes a lot to fire it up she can have one hell of a temper." Hayley smirked and looked up at Klaus "when she gets mad enough she could rival even you Klaus."

Elijah chuckled "She sounds delightful Hayley, I can't wait to meet her." Klaus eye'd his brother and let a small smirk curl at his lips as he nodded his head slightly "She does sound interesting...and I could always use another artist around the house" he said as he caught sight of Freya returning with a bowl full of herbs and what-not in hand.

"Okay I'm going to need space and who ever is giving their blood be ready as soon as I'm finished" Freya instructed as she began her spell. "I'm putting her in a dream state to keep her still and calm. If she moves to soon before the blood has time to heal the internal damage she could make it even worse. This way she'll stay still till I wake her." Freya sat two candles on either side of herself and they lit with a flick of her wrist, she then began mixing the herbs together slowly sprinkled them over the girl's body before pressing her hand to the girl's cheek and closing her eyes. Elijah stood and started unbuttoning he cuff of his sleeve as Freya began chanting the girls eyes beginning to flutter softly. Klaus sped to his brother's side and put his arm down "I'll do the blood letting..Big brother" he said giving his brother a look as he pulled off his jacket. Elijah gave a slight bow waving his hand over the girl's body as he backed away, a small smile playing on his lips.

As Freya continued her spell the lights began to dim and flicker as her voice raised higher the power building around them all making the air seem almost full of static. They all looked around as a mild breeze blew through the house until..it all went quiet suddenly and Freya's eyes snapped open. She stumbled back a bit "She is very strong, that..that took more effort than I expected" she said breathlessly. "But she's ready for the blood now" she muttered as she stepped back taking Hayley's arm for support waving a hand at the girl motioning for one of her brother's to do the deed.

Klaus knelt over the girl and bared his fangs eyes glowing amber and thick black veins pulsating around his eyes as he bit his wrist open and pressed it to the comatose girl's soft lips. He waited a moment "Nothing's happening Freya.." he barked, but then suddenly the girl's hands wrapped around his arm pulling him closer as her mouth started to feed hungrily at the wound on his wrist. Her eyes fluttered but never opened, something about the look on her face softened him a little and he ran his free hand through her hair. His fingers accidentally grazing her forehead and suddenly he was pulled into her dream world.
