Juniper gets a text from Marcel telling her that they are leaving to Ohio, he told her about the plan when they were driving to the bar the only thing that put a dent in her plans was the girls going out to check on the dead witches.

Juniper tells them that she has to take care of something leaving Sophie and Hayley in the Bayou.

The eldest Claire gets back to the Church, Marcel tells her what happened when he tried to get Davina to leave, Juniper runs up to the attic to see Davina.

"I value my family above everything. I'm sorry about yours," The Noble Original apologizes to Davina not knowing that the Demon Queen was listening.

"I'm amazed." June walks over to Davina sitting down next to her. "Klaus stuffed you in a box and handed you to Marcel, yet you haven't given up on him." She tilts her head waiting for an explanation.

"I've given up on giving up. It's an affliction, I will fight for my family until my last breath." June looks at the Original skeptical, not wanting to trust him because his family is known for stabbing people in the back.

"And I'll fight the witches until mine." Davina announces Juniper smile grows liking the spark that is lighting up the inner warrior in her little sister.

The three continue to talk until Davina falls asleep, June moves a strand of hair out of her little sister's face kissing her forehead getting ready to leave.

"You truly do care about her, don't you?' Elijah asks Juniper smiles softly at Davina's peaceful state he stands next to the Demon Queen.

"She's my little sister, my only sibling, my only family.

So to answer your question I do truly care about her.

And no one will take her away from me.

" Juniper uses her demonic voice to make sure the Original understands that he better keep Klaus away from Davina or there will be consequences.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Juniper walks into the compound hiding in the shadows watching Marcel and Klaus argue about the little stunt he pulled at the bar today.

"I can take Davina any time I like." Klaus smiles watching the man he raised groan in pain after being punched. Marcel is about to attack Klaus but gets pushed down by Elijah, both men seem surprised to see the Noble Original out of his box.

"Do forgive me, Marcel. But if anyone is going to teach my brother a lesson, its me." Elijah speaks smirking at his little brother.

"Don't look so surprised, I brought him out for Hayley's sake not yours." Juniper teases crossing her arms over her chest. "I mean she'll need the extra protection considering you did, basically, fire the babysitter."

"About that, since it was not Klaus nor I who asked you to protect Hayley we have to see what she would like to do." Elijah informs them, the Demon Queen smiles.

"June?" Marcel asks not believing that she will go with them after Klaus threatened to take Davina away.

"This is business, Marcel. Besides Eli here knows what'll happen if they harm Davina. Don't you Eli?" Juniper asks Elijah, he nods in response. "Come on boys lets go see my fifth favorite person,"

~~~~~~~~~~~~

They arrive at the Plantation Juniper and Klaus walk in first watching Hayley be scolded by Rebekah.

The blonde Original stops scolding her when her favorite older brother walks through the door running up to him pulling each other into a hug.

Juniper smiles softly at the siblings interactions, happy to see that there is more than pain and suffering that runs through their veins but something that she can never have anymore, actual joy.

"You're safe." Rebekah smiles pulling away. "Now that you're home is your first plan to kill Niklaus?"

"Excuse me, just a moment" He kisses her forehead before walking off to greet Hayley.

Juniper looks at the Hybrid seeing jealousy scribbled on his face, "Does someone want a kiss on the forehead too?" She elbows him playfully smirking.

"Touch me and I'll break your hand." He threatens making her laugh.

"Don't worry princess you're still my favorite," She says taking him by surprise by pulling his head down and standing on her tippy toes to kissing his forehead.

"So you won't feel so left out," She laughs putting her palm on the spot where she kissed him pushing him back walking away to pour herself a drink.

"Where's he going?" Rebekah asks turning to face her other brother not witnessing what just happened between the Demon Queen and the Hybrid.

Juniper listens in on the conversation that Elijah and Hayley are having while she pours her drink. Hayley slaps the vampire for making empty promises about taking care of her and the child, welcomes him back home, then leaves. All five of them meet in the study to talk a few things over.

"Hayley there is a question we would like you to answer.

Since you are the one who asked for Juniper to protect you we would like to know if you would still want her to given the new information that was found out about her.

" Elijah begins Hayley looks over at June receiving a wink from the woman with dyed hair.

"Yes but only if she answers one question. How did you become what you are?" The pregnant woman asks everyone turns to June curious to know the answer.

"It was a pleasure doing business with you." Juniper stands up quickly trying to walk away but Hayley grabs her arm.

"Look I told you my whole backstory when we were stuck in this house the least you can do is tell me yours." June sits back down taking a deep breath before she begins to tell her story.

"When I was fifteen I fell in 'love', or what I thought was love, with a boy from one of my classes.

We dated and not even a year later I ended up getting pregnant, of course I told the father that I was pregnant.

.." She shrugs her shoulders "He left me and turns out he was cheating on me too.

At the time I was a witch and when the coven found out, they flipped, one of the elders said that the Ancestors demanded that I be sacrificed for reasons I still don't know the answer to.

Weeks before my seventeenth birthday, they started slowly poisoning me so when the day came I'd be too weak to fight back.

I wasn't supposed to be due for another month but the sacrifice had to be done before I turned seventeen, my birthday came they went through with the plan everything went smoothly.

They sliced my stomach open pulling out the one thing that I was so grateful to have, I tried so hard to get her back but I was too weak.

They performed half of the spell before they stabbed a knife through my daughter's little heart then they stabbed it right through mine finishing the spell.

" She shakes her head staring off into the distance, "Only problem was they did the wrong spell, they summoned something far more powerful then any of you.

They summoned the Devil. I made a deal with the Devil and became the true immortal collecting demons. I became the Queen of Demons."

"What did you do to the witches that sacrificed you?" Rebekah asks tears in her eyes.

"I killed four of them, the fifth was my mother.

She begged for her life just like how I begged for her not to take my child's instead of killing her like I wanted to, I let her live.

Davina still needed her, I couldn't take her away from Davina so I let her live.

" Hayley holds a hand to her stomach afraid that they will take away her child.

Everyone is silent for a couple minutes letting it all sink in, June leaves to her room before they move onto the next topic.

Elijah explains that Sophie Deveraux lied to them and how she is the real threat.
