Juniper walked from the Plantation to the Compound. Her demons followed her after they finished having their fun with the firemen and paramedics. The Queen of Demons enters the Compound listening to Elijah tell Marcel and the rest of the vampires that the witches have Klaus and Rebekah.

"Every one of you will help me to find them. I'm going to kill them all." Elijah yells at them.

"Well you can't have all the fun." Juniper announces, everyone stares at her with wide eyes. Her jet black hair with silver tips cover her breast, leaving the rest of her body exposed to prying eyes. Her feet are covered in dirt and black blood from walking many miles.

"June-" Marcel looks at her bare body with a open jaw. His vampires stare at the Queen with lustful eyes.

"As much as I enjoyed playing in the fire. I don't appreciate being left behind." Juniper looks at Elijah then Hayley, who is on the balcony. Hayley looks at June blushing slightly as her eyes trail down her body. Elijah resists the urge to look anywhere but her face.

"My apologies for leaving you behind, but Hayley's safety is my main priority." Elijah takes off his coat holding it out for Juniper to take.

"I understand that but don't let it happen again." Juniper rejects his offer walking up the stairs and to her old room. Everyone still staring at her as she walks admiring her beautiful body.

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

The next morning Juniper and Elijah decide to question the witches about where Sabine has taken the Mikaelson siblings.

When they arrive they see Monique and the witches burying Sophie.

Elijah decides to get the witches attention by flinging one of the witches then elbowing two as he appears right in front of Monique.

"My siblings have been taken. Where are they?" Elijah asks fixing his sleeves. Juniper appears behind Monique.

" You're interrupting my Aunt Sophie's consecration." Monique sneers at the Original.

"Well your Aunt Sophie was a bitch." Juniper smirks, using her index finger and her thumb to pinch out the flame from the candle that Monique is holding. Monique glares at the older woman with dyed hair.

"How did this happen?" The Noble Original questions looking at the tomb.

"Aunt Sophie was a casualty of war." Monique answers. Juniper sees her demon that is showing causing her smirk to grow.

"Monique, I recommend you give me what I want, unless of course, you'd like us to level this place and everything in it." Elijah threatens the young witch.

"That won't be necessary. I have a message for you... for both of you... from Celeste." Monique hold out her hand and uses her magic on the Original.

Elijah begins to fidget uncomfortably unbuttoning his shirt to see a name appear on his chest. He then rolls up his sleeve to see another name appear on his wrist.

"To find what you're looking for, follow the path she left behind." Monique tells Elijah before turning to June. "This is for you. It's from your mother." Monique takes a book from one of the other witches hands holding it out for her to take.

"Eli, give me your handkerchief." Juniper holds her hand out for Elijah to hand her the handkerchief since her demons are warning her not to touch the book with her bare hands.

Elijah hands her the handkerchief Juniper carefully grabs the book raising an eyebrow at the young witch. "How is this a message?"

"Read it and you'll find out." Monique deadpans.

"Alright see you later psycho." Juniper interlocks her arm with Elijah. "Come on Eli lets go find my favorite Originals." With that the two leave the cemetery.

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

Juniper and Elijah arrive at the Compound. Elijah immediately questions Marcel about his siblings but doesn't receive the answer he's looking for. Juniper rolls her eyes at the Noble Original's actions following them to the study with the book in her hands.

"Juniper I need a pen and paper." Elijah orders taking off his shirt. June looks at Marcel motioning for him to take care of it for her. Marcel glances between the two of them with furrowed brows and wide eyes. "Pen and paper."

"Look, I want her back just as much as you do, you know. Both of them." Marcel tells the Original turning away to the desk grabbing a pen and paper.

Juniper watches Elijah take off his navy blue tie and unbutton his light blue button up. Calling Hayley into the room. The pregnant werewolf enters the room stopping in her tracks when she sees the half naked Original.

"What is happening?" Hayley questions looking at the Queen of Demons for an answer but she is concentrated on reading her mother's book.

Juniper carefully uses Elijah's handkerchief to turn the pages of the old leather book. Reading each line attentively afraid that she might miss something. Elijah, Hayley, and Marcel chat about the names scribbled on Elijah's body. Annoying Juniper as she concentrates on reading.

"Do you mind keeping it down? Some people are trying to read their psychotic witch bitch mother's weird ass book." Juniper glares at them getting frustrated because she has re-read the same line three times.

"Well some of us are trying to find the other Mikealson's that everyone knows and loves." Marcel sasses causing Juniper roll her eyes, she grabs the book with the handkerchief and leave the room.

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

It has been a couple of hours since Juniper has taken her eyes off of her mother's book. And within those couple of hours she has found nothing. Absolutely nothing. The Queen of Demons sighs pinching the bridge of her nose readjusting her position on the bed, before returning back to the book.

When she looks at the book again she sees the passage morph into her native language. Her demons whisper to her. Telling her to read it.

Before Juniper can read the whole passage it begins to fade away back into her mother's handwriting. She squints her eyes, sitting up trying to read it as quickly as possible. The whole passage fades. Her dark brown eyes widen, as she shakes her head.

"No no no no no! I was almost finished! Show it to me again!" Juniper yells at the book that is laying flat on the bed. "Show it to me again! Show me again!"

Downstairs Hayley is sitting on a chair talking on the phone with Elijah. The pregnant werewolf looks upstairs with scrunched eyebrows, she tells Elijah that she will call him later.

Back upstairs Juniper is frustrated with her demons and the book. Hayley enters the room watching Juniper run her hands over her face groaning.

"What are you doing? Why are you yelling at a book?" Hayley questions sticking her neck out shaking her head.

"I was asking them to show it to me again but they are being stubborn little demons and they will be punished for this!" Juniper raises her voice at the book.

"June calm down. You are yelling at a book." Hayley walks towards the book. "A stupid book that won't help us find Rebekah or Klaus." She reaches for it."What's so important about this stupid book any-"

"No don't touch it!" Juniper cuts her off grabbing the book with her bare hands to protect Hayley from the dangerous item.

As soon as she grasped the book her hands begins to burn. Juniper drops the book yelling out in pain. Her skin is bubbling from the burn. Black blood oozing out from her palms; black smoke rising from her wounds. Her hands shake violently she whimpers in pain falling down to her knees.

"Oh my God! June are you okay?" Hayley kicks the book to the side crouching down to her level.

"Get my lighter and the bottle of Scotch! I have to burn the wounds closed." June stands up with her shaking hands. Hayley rushes to the dresser grabbing the lighter and the half drunk liquor.

"What do I do now?" Hayley questions holding out the items with wide worried eyes.

"Pour the Scotch on the wounds and light them on fire." June rushes out turning her hands over so the wounds face them.

Hayley shakes her head looking at June with scrunched brows. "You can't be ser-" Juniper cuts her off

"NOW HAYLEY!!" June growls.

Hayley does as she's told burning the Queen of Demons wounds close. June sighs in relief watching the fire die out.

"New rule: don't touch things that aren't yours." June grabs a shirt that was thrown on the bed wrapping the book in it before putting it on the dresser.
