Juniper Claire rolls out of bed changing into black ripped jeans, with a red crop top, throwing on her tribal patterned cardigan, topping it all of with a pair of beige wedges.

She does her makeup then grabs her purse, keys, weapons, and lighter before leaving her apartment.

The woman with dyed hair puts on her sunglasses as she drives to the bar, a wicked smile planted on her beautiful features, making her look sinfully gorgeous.

Arriving at the bar, Juniper uses the back entrance already listening to what the younger hybrid has to say about Klaus and Hayley's unborn child.

She rolls her eyes using her powers to appear behind the Tyler Lockwood, who is sitting in a chair.

All the other vampires, including Rebekah and Marcel, are startled by the Demon Queen's sudden appearance.

"She's not here to fight us. She's here to help us." Marcel announces looking at the blonde Mikealson before turning to June. "They both are." Tyler jumps when he feels Juniper's claws graze his chin.

"What- what is she doing here?! She is working with him! She's- she-" Tyler shakes in fear, silencing himself when his gaze meets hers.

He stares into her demon eyes, paralyzed.

Juniper lets one of her demons possess the hybrid, his body falling to the floor shaking as the evil spirit enters his body.

Juniper giggles as the hybrid is being possessed, the other's brows furrow and jaws drop at the sight.

When the demon fully posses Tyler, he stands next to the Queen of Demons awaiting demands.

The young hybrid's eyes that were once brown and full of revenge are now obsidian and lifeless, his hand slightly twitching since the demon isn't used to inhabiting a body.

"If any of you try to harm the child, you'll face the same punishment as him. Understood?" Juniper questions, everyone shakes their heads.

"What punishment may that be?" Rebekah questions raising an eyebrow at the Queen.

"Let's just say..." June trails off giggling to herself then continuing. "My friends like to play with their food." She smiles remembering the last time she brought someone to the room. 'That was so much fun!' She thinks to herself.

"Oh..." Rebekah takes a step closer to Marcel. Juniper turns to them holding her hand out for Marcel to pay her, he gladly takes out five medium stacks of cash from two of his inside pockets handing them to her. Juniper quickly counts the money before dropping the stacks in her purse.

"Alright! Here's how its gonna go." The Queen of Demons sits down on the chair that the young hybrid was just sitting on telling all of them her plan on how Marcel and Rebekah should take down Klaus.

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

After the sun has set and dark blue covers the sky Klaus Mikealson arrives at the empty compound, confused. The Hybrid looks around the compound, suspicious as to why everything is so quite. Marcel Gerard steps out of the shadows, gaining Klaus' attention.

"You've been avoiding my calls." The Hybrid speaks calmly.

"A little pissed off lately." Marcel deadpans.

"Apologies for my behavior can come later.

You have something of mine, I want it back.

" Klaus raises an eyebrow, Marcel reaches into his jacket pulling out one of the silver daggers, waving it around.

Juniper stands on the top balcony a devilish grin on her face, she waits to take the demons.

Rebekah steps out from the shadows taking the dagger from Marcel.

"What is this?" Klaus asks betrayal and anger written over his features.

"Apologies for your behavior? You don't apologize Nik. You just act. I've had enough. We have had enough." Rebekah shakes her head at her older brother, tired of not being able to be with Marcel.

"Well, look at you, finally in possession of the one thing that can take you down. How does it feel?" Klaus glares at Rebekah.

"Great." Rebekah answers, Marcel whistles a few of his nightwalkers come out from the shadows some holding weapons.

"So this is it." Klaus raises his hands unimpressed with the small army that Marcel has.

"The evil bastard Klaus has gone too far, must be punished and by his own sibling, nonetheless.

How positively biblical. And you, Marcel, is this your idea of a hit?

I taught you better than this paltry excuse for a take down.

You think you can subdue me with this?!" Klaus mocks the two love birds.

"No, but think I can with this." Marcel whistles again, hundreds of his vampires come out from every nook and cranny. Klaus looks around smirking, noticing a certain someone is missing.

"Where is Juniper?" The Hybrid raises an eyebrow, Juniper smiles to herself before using her powers to appear right in front of him.

"What's up buttercup." She smiles at him tilting her head.

"Are you helping these idiots?" Klaus asks causing the Queen to scoff and roll her eyes waving her hand at the Hybrid.

"I'm just waiting for this to be over so I can have some fun." June crosses her arms, smiling.

"Very well. Let's end this charade, shall we?

" Klaus smirks at Marcel as June walks toward the back of the compound leaning on a pillar, "Vampires of new Orleans, do recall that I am an Original, a Hybrid.

I cannot be killed. Eternity is an awfully long time.

How long do you think Marcel will stay in power?

What if one of you lot were to release me, knowing I would be eternally in your debt?

Oh, I would pity those of you who dared to cross me.

I can assure you, your ends would be spectacular.

To borrow a trick from an old friend..."

Klaus announces to the crowd holding up a golden coin, smirking at them. Juniper Claire watches the Hybrid try to bargain his way out of fighting but she knows where their loyalties lies.

"Whoever picks up this coin gets to live." He tosses it on the ground and continues, "Now, which of you magnificent bastards wants to join me?" No one budges.

"Anyone wants that coin, pledge alligence to Klaus, take it now. Go ahead. The choice is yours." Marcel tells them but still no one makes a move. "Take him." Those two simple words fall from the King's mouth and his men rush forward attempting to grab the Hybrid.

With another wave of his hands two more of Marcel's men throw chains around Klaus' wrist pulling him back.

Once he is down others begin to fight, both the Hybrid and the vampires get good hits in.

Others step forward, the Hybrid is held down as the vampires repeatedly beat him.

Juniper winces in the background as she watches a crowbar hit Klaus' face.

Both Marcel and Rebekah are loving the show walking forward more so they can get a better view.

The vampires drag him back more chaining to the wall, one at a time they get their share of fun with him.

Diego grabs the Hybrid's face examining the bloody cuts smirking at him, the vampire with dark curly hair punches Klaus square in the jaw breaking it.

Klaus' head hangs a low growl is heard from him, Rebekah walks forward egar to finally dagger her brother.

Klaus raises his head slowly, his beautiful eyes changing into his supernatural ones.

The Hybrid attacks the vampires, biting a few, snapping others necks, throwing the rest at the walls.

Juniper hides her smile behind her hand happy that she will able to take some demons.

"Marcel! Come finish this!" Klaus yells at the King of New Orleans, dirt and blood covering his face. The King was going to defend his people but Rebekah stops him.

"No! He'll slaughter you! And them!" She yells at him intertwining their hands.

"Pick up the coin." Juniper shrugs walking forward to count how many people are dead.

"What?"

"She's right. He won't stop until everyone is dead, and he will kill you, too. End this. Pick up the coin." Rebekah explains worried for her's and her lover's life, Marcel doesn't move surprised that she would be a prisoner of her brother again.

"Tick- toc. Tick-toc. Your wasting time, more people are dying." Juniper says sing-song, Rebekah's brows furrow at how happy she can be when people are dying

"Enough!" Marcel shouts gaining everyone's attention, he crouches down picking up the golden coin. Klaus drops the vampire that he was chocking, smirking confidently.

"Well, well, well. The great Marcel self-proclaimed King of New Orleans, bowing before me." Klaus strides towards the kneeling man.

"There." Marcel tosses the coin in disgust and anger, "I hereby pledge my allegiance to you. You have the keys to my kingdom. It's yours." Marcel spits out.

Juniper smiles already taking the fallen vampire's demons, she leaves the compound right after doing so.
