Juniper Claire arrives at the Compound walking up to Hayley's room.

She leans on the door frame watching the pregnant werewolf try to figure out the mystery behind Davina's drawings of Celeste, Elijah's deceased ex- girlfriend who also is a witch.

Juniper walks into the room picking up one of the drawings, startling Hayley in the process, lightly running her pointer finger over the drawn area.

Smiling to herself remembering other drawings that Davina had done.

"She's an amazing artist isn't she?" June's smile beings to fade remembering that Davina is gone. "I mean was. Wasn't she?" Hayley stands up to hug June.

"I've missed you June." Hayley pulls away from the hug.

"I've missed you to baby momma." June admits giving her a soft smile.

The two hear murmurers coming from outside they exit the room to check it out, a crowd of vampires stand in the middle of the Compound waiting for their King, the almighty Klaus Mikaelson. Hayley has her hand on her stomach lightly rubbing it as her and June gaze at the crowd.

"Let's go get you something to eat." Juniper drapes her arm over the expecting werewolf, in a friendly manner, as they walk down to the kitchen.

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

Klaus asked Juniper to join him and Marcel for a drink in one of the rooms, so they can discuss certain issues, such as the deceased witches coming back from the dead instead of the Harvest girls. Juniper walks in on a smug looking Klaus and a smirking Marcel, irritated she rolls her eyes.

"Well we have no room for slackers or cowards in our Kingdom." The Queen of Demons hears the Hybrid say.

"Then what are you still doing here." Juniper remarks walking up to the mini bar pouring herself a drink, standing next to both men. "Now let's make this quick I have a pregnant werewolf to protect."

"I was getting to it. Now that both of you have regained your composure. Let's move on to the next term of business shall we, with a little help from our dear friend Sophie." Juniper and Marcel ignore the comment about them regaining composure.

"I got no reason to help you, and I sure as hell don't have a reason to help him. A-" The witch gets cut off by Juniper.

"But you do owe me. Remember?" June flashes her demon eyes at the witch making her feel uncomfortable.

"Yes." Sophie answers.

"Good. We wouldn't want this to be difficult, now would we luv. You'll only live if you're of use to me and right now your best use is to explain why a witch I killed one hundred years ago has come back for revenge." Klaus explains as Juniper takes a seat on the couch.

"Come on. Resurrected witches with vast power? It's the Harvest." Sophie walks towards them continuing, "Four girls were supposed to die and be reborn. I don't know how but someone jacked that power and they used it to bring back four witches. Just not the right ones."

"So there's still a chance. If we can get that power back. We can save Davina." Marcel hopes looking at Juniper while she stares off into space.

"Let's concentrate on the immediate problem, shall we? Papa Tunde wants revenge. He'll continue to attack us. Channeling the power from the vampires he's sacrificing. He kills, he grows more dangerous. So how do I end him?" Klaus rants, looking up at the witch.

"He needs sacrifices to gain power." Sophie tells him, he hums in response. "Keep him from killing any more nightwalkers that's a start."

"Unless he finds the one place with a load of vampires ready to be sacrificed." Klaus tells them looking up at Marcel.

The group heads down to the Garden seeing all the exiled vampires lying on the ground, their bodies a cement gray with large black veins popping out. Juniper kicks one of the sacrificed vampire's arms to the side. Bored, she looks up at both men.

"Well you're fucked." Juniper shrugs her shoulders, turning around to leave. She begins to hum a song that has been stuck in her head for most of the day as she leaves the Compound for the night.

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

The next morning in St. Anne's Church, Father Keiran gives a speech about the reopening of the Church.

Klaus, Marcel, and Juniper sit in a row listening to his speech.

Well only Marcel and Klaus are. Juniper on the other hand is mentally talking to her demons, telling them that now is not the time to start possessing people although it would be fun for her to watch she is somewhat trying to support the Priest in his line of work.

The Hybrid notices how still the Queen is, he puts a hand on her thigh gaining her attention.

"Something wrong love?" Klaus leans in whispering in her ear.

"My friends and I don't like religious talk. Makes them upset, and right now they want to possess slash murder most people in this room. I am trying to talk them out of it." Juniper whispers back smiling devilishly at him. "If anything does happen I'll make sure they don't harm your friends."

Klaus nods turning back to Marcel, noticing how he is staring at a certain witch from a hundred years ago. The Original Hybrid tells him to focus, both men turn their attention back to the Priest. Klaus doesn't realize that his hand is still on Juniper's thigh.

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

After the Father Kieran's speech the three supernatural creatures meet him outside of the Church as he thanks people for coming.

"Lovely sermon this morning, Father. Quite inspirational." Klaus compliments the priest.

"More like quite the snooze fest." Juniper mutters to Marcel causing him to chuckle.

"I wasn't expecting you to join us." Kieran said.

"That makes two of us." Juniper jokes.

"We were hoping for some word on your human sources on the recent haitian invasion." Klaus gets straight to the point not wanting to waste any more time.

"My guys have their ears to the ground. And no one has seen or heard any sign of whatever his name." The priest answers.

"His name is Papa Tunde. And right now he's wandering the Corridor with the power he absorbed from every soul I had buried in the Garden. So you might want to put your ear a little closer to thee ground." Marcel tells him agitated.

"Or I could steer clear of whatever war is brewing between your kind and his. Before I find myself i-" Father Keiran gets cut off by his niece, Camille.

"I wanted to congratulate you on getting the Church up and running. I can see that this is a bad time. Nice to see you, Marcel. You too Juniper." Camille rushes out Juniper smiles at the blonde, loving her demon that is showing right now.

When Camille walks off angrily Juniper can't help but notice how well her outfit compliments her body. With a small bite of her lip, Juniper's eyes travels up and down the blondebartender's body. Marcel, Klaus and Father Keiran notice the Queen checking out Camille.

Father Keiran clears his throat. "Please don't check out my niece."

"Hey! Just because I'm looking doesn't mean I'm gonna touch. I might swing both ways but I prefer men." Juniper holds up her hands in defense, shrugging her shoulder.

"Well don't look at me. I tried to send her away." Klaus raises an eyebrow at the Priest, who gives him a stern look.

The Hybrid leaves the group for a moment to answer his phone. He asks Diego if they have found anything but the vampire gives him a short answer. Klaus hangs up the phone. He gains Marcel's and Juniper's attention, motioning for them to leave.

"See you later Keiran. And don't forget to praise Satan." Juniper winks at the Priest before walking away.
