WARNING: This chapter is a very gruesome chapter.

If you are sensitive to excessive blood and violence then I highly suggest you skip this chapter.

I do want to apologize to my readers who are sensitive to blood and violence because they won't be able to read this chapter but they won't completely miss out on what happens because in the beginning of the next chapter I will put a short PG-13 summary of what happened.

Also this is one of the longest chapters that I have written, it is over three thousand words and it took a very very long time for me to write this so for those of you who do read this I hope you enjoy and please feel free to vote and comment on it. Thank you.

Music floods the Queen's ears a sad smile emitted on her face as she walks with Klaus into the Compound.

This was a bad idea. What if something happens?

What if I lose control? I shouldn't have come, this isn't right.

I should be at home. The psychotic ruler feels Juniper pull her arm back, he turns to look at her.

As prepared as she thought she was to do this Juniper rather spend this day alone.

The demons of depression pick at her horrifying memories while the anxiety demons devour her insecurities.

"You don't have to do this if you don't want to," Klaus gives her a small half smile.

"You didn't have to throw a party for me but you did.

The least I can do is actually show up even if it is fashionably late," June turns to him smiling back.

Her small fake smile masks the desperation that her painful past has permanently branded on her sinfully gorgeous features.

"Besides I rather not spend the rest of my day sober. "

"Αυτ? ε?ναι σωστ? απλ? να ενδ?σει στον πειρασμ?.

Γιατ? να θ?λει? να ε?σαι νηφ?λιο?; Αν ε?σαι μεθυσμ?νο?, δεν χρει?ζεται να νι?σει? τον π?νο, αυτ? δεν θ?λει?; Να μην νι?θει? τον π?νο πια; Πιε? και ?λα τα προβλ?ματ? σου θα εξαφανιστο?ν.

"(That's right just give into the temptation.

Why would you want to be sober? If you're drunk you don't have to feel the pain, isn't that what you want?

To not feel the pain anymore? Drink and all of your troubles will go away.) The demons whisper to their Queen wanting her to feed into the chaos that they are baking.

Klaus nods. The two damaged rulers walk into the Compound heads held high, letting all of their problems disappear behind the eloquently designed masks that they both have created over the years of pain.

Like the true psychotic rulers they are, Juniper and Klaus hold their signature smirks entering the room all eyes turn to them.

The strangers that were compelled to attend the rather small party smile at the birthday girl.

The few friends that Juniper holds close to her heart attended.

Hayley, Camille, Jackson, and of course Davina.

Davina is the first to hug Juniper smiling, glad that Klaus convinced her to leave the house.

The two sisters squeeze each other tightly, telling each other that they love one another.

Hayley is next to hug June, her baby bump sticks out June glances down at Hayley's stomach offering her a smile.

The birthday girl thanks Hayley for coming to the party before both women pull away.

Camille and Juniper quickly hug June also thanks her for coming.

June and Jackson make eye contact crossing their arms both glare at each other.

"Jackson." June glares harder.

"Juniper." The wolf mocks his best friend glaring back.

The girls look at each other questioning if something happened between the two. None of them know why both friends are death glaring at each other.

"Well don't just stand there dumbass give me a hug," Juniper jokes. They both wrap their arms around each other. Jackson picks up June spinning her around once before setting her back down.

"Happy Birthday June." They let go. "Hey I hope you don't mind but I brought a plus one," Jackson smiles sheepishly.

The Mikaelson brothers watch the interaction between the two best friends. Klaus clenches his jaw. While Elijah sips his drink chuckling at his little brother.

"Who did you bring?" June frowns when Jackson's plus one speaks up.

"He brought me..." June turns around, Oliver stands there in a grey button up and dark blue jeans. "You look amazing June-bug."

The Queen of Demons stands there wanting to nothing more than to claw open Oliver's chest and rip out his heart for what he did.

"?λα. Κ?νε τον να υποφ?ρει γι' αυτ? που ?κανε.

Του αξ?ζει! Δεν ε?ναι καλ?? που λ?ει ψ?ματα ?τι κλ?βει ? ?να κ?θαρμα!

"(Come on. Make him suffer for what he did.

He deserves it! He's a no good lying cheating son of a bitch!) Her demons try to charm her.

But Juniper is smarter than that instead of giving in she turns to her girlfriends asking them if they want to get drinks from the bar.

All of them agree not wanting to awkwardly face the thick tension between the two ex lovers.

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

A few hours have gone by and the sun is now beginning to set.

The beautifully painted sky, with vibrant oranges and yellows, and the various fairy lights hung light up shining on the elegant black and gold decorated Compound.

The local band does covers of songs from different genres, some guests dance in the middle.

Juniper sits at a table with Camille, Davina, and Hayley.

All of them laughing sharing stories of the things that they did when they were younger.

The birthday Queen is halfway through her second bottle of scotch, she is the only one drinking hard liquor out of the four.

Camille stuck with white wine. Hayley is drinking coke-cola because of the little Mikaelson growing in her belly.

While Davina tried to get a drink with alcohol Juniper denied her of it and told her to drink soda instead.

The band plays a new song catching Davina's attention.

A loud gasp escapes the younger Claire's lips, she demands all of them dance with her.

Camille and Hayley are up for dancing but Juniper tries to get out of it.

All three try to convince the Queen but June doesn't budge.

Davina reverts to dragging her older sister to the dance floor.

"That isn't fair! You can't just drag someone!" June complains giggling.

"Who cares?! You're already on the dancefloor might as well dance!" Camille shouts dancing with Davina and Hayley. June rolls her eyes and dances with her friends.

From across the room Klaus watches Juniper enjoy herself. A crooked smile forms on his lips at the sight of June dancing. Elijah walks up to his brother chuckling at the fact that he is drooling over Juniper dancing in her sleek black dress.

"It's a party Niklaus, you should go dance." Elijah teases. "Unless you rather make a toast to honor her."

"Maybe I will," Klaus retorts but doesn't make a move.

"When? The next century?" Elijah continues to tease his brother, "Have you fallen so hard for her that you've forgotten how to sweep a girl off her feet?"

"I have not fallen for her brother. We just have mutual interests that's all." Klaus grumbles sipping his bourbon.

"And what might that be? The undeniable feelings that you two have for each other?"

Klaus frowns, "I'm going to make a toast," He grumbles walking away towards the stage. Elijah chuckles.

Klaus makes his way to the stage, the band stops playing gaining everyone's attention.

"Welcome everyone to the lovely Juniper Claire's birthday celebration.

Now I have known Ms. Claire since I first returned to New Orleans and since then I have had the pleasure to see what a gorgeous woman she is on the inside and out.

And it'll be the most greatest honor if she were to accompany me in this next dance. "

"It'd my pleasure princess," June smirks chuckling slightly.

Klaus comes down from the stage, the band begins to play a slow song. All of the guest clear off the dancefloor to give the two rulers space. Juniper smiles at Klaus he smiles back. They meet in the middle of the dance floor.

"Fair warning I'm just a little drunk," June whispers in the Hybrid's ear, a soft chuckle escapes her lips.

"Don't worry, little demon. I'll lead." Klaus slowly wraps his hand around the small of her back. June snakes her hand on his shoulder. They interlock their other hands and softly sway to the music.

"Thank you for this. I really needed it," Juniper smiles softly looking around at the crowd.

"You're welcome," Klaus spins Juniper causing her to laugh before they return to their positions.

"Give a girl a little warning next time," Klaus laughs too.

Not even halfway through the song Klaus and Juniper get interrupted by a very jealous Oliver.

Both Klaus and Juniper glare at Oliver. The stupid werewolf tries to cut their dance short by offering to dance with June.

The Demon Queen rolls her eyes turning back to Klaus to continue their dance but Oliver is persistent on dancing with Juniper.

Fed up with Oliver's shit June agrees to finish this song with him.

Klaus gives Oliver one last death glare before walking away towards his brother, Hayley and Davina.

Oliver's cold hand replaces the spot that Klaus's warm one was at on June's back. She frowns glaring at the cement floor as she dances with her ex lover.

"I've missed you June-bug," Oliver whispers his lips traveling down Juniper's neck stopping right above her collarbone. June sucks in a breath. "I know you've missed me too."

"Like hell. I have wanted you dead for the past eight years." June growls out as an attempt to hide the pink in her cheeks.

"Really? I know you June-bug. I know what you do and don't like. I know your secrets. Your favorite foods. Everything." Oliver's nose tickles June's neck as he slowly moves his lips back to her ear.

"You know nothing about me." She argues trying not to give into the temptation but her lustful demons make her want him.

"I even know your body better than you do." Oliver slowly sneaks his hand down gripping June's small ass. Immediately Juniper pushes Oliver away growling at him but the wolf grips onto her tightly. He dips her, forcing his dry lips on her painted ones.

A gasp can be heard from the deafeningly silent crowd.

It came from Juniper. Not because Oliver smashed his lips against hers but because as he did it he stabbed Papa Tunde's blade in her chest. Oliver drops June stepping away from her.

He watches black blood fall from her chest. June looks down in horror.

No no no no no! What did he do!? I have to get out of here!

The Queen begins to spit up black blood.

"What've you done?!" June shouts trying to get up putting pressure on her wound not daring to take out the blade.

"They said that if I do this then I can see her! She deserves to see me! I am her father!! But you refused to let me see her so I made a deal with them!!" Oliver shouts.

Six witches appear from the crowd chanting a spell around Juniper.

The Queen lets out a horrendous screech.

Hunching forward as pain floods every vein.

It is as if she is being stabbed with a thousand knifes.

Pain pulses through her every second. Davina and Klaus tries to intervene but the witches use their powers to push them aside.

"You FOOL!! They killed her! Those pathetic witches killed our daughter!!" June grits through the pain her whole body shaking. Sweat clings to her body. She lets out another horrendous screech.

"Ενδ?στε και θα εξαλε?ψουμε τον π?νο σα?.

Θα εξαφ?γει ο π?νο? σου. Εμπιστε?σου την.

Ενδ?στε την! Απλ? ενδ?στε την! ΑΦ?ΣΤΕ ΤΗΝ ΝΑ ΑΝΑΛ?ΒΕΙ!

Α? ΤΟΥ? ΑΦ?ΣΟΥΜΕ ΝΑ ΓΝΩΡ?ΖΟΥΝ ?ΤΙ ΔΕΝ Ε?ΝΑΙ ?ΝΑ ? ΠΟΥ ΠΡ?ΠΕΙ ΝΑ ΜΠ?ΡΔΕΜΑ ΜΕ!

Δ?στε σε αυτ?ν!!! Αφ?στε την να αναλ?βει!

!!"(Give in and we'll make your pain go away.

She'll make your pain go away. Trust her.

Give into her! Just give into her! LET HER TAKE OVER!

LET THEM KNOW THAT SHE IS NOT ONE TO BE MESSED WITH!

GIVE INTO HER!!! LET HER TAKE OVER!!!)

With shaking hands Juniper rips out the blade from her chest. Hunched forward June looks at Klaus. His blue eyes are wide with concern. The Queen flashes a bright wicked smile, showing the black blood on her teeth.

"Macaria" By calling out her demon's name Juniper lets go. Her eyes change obsidian black as her demon takes over. Her body is thrown back as the hundreds of thousands demons exit their Queen's body.

The once immaculately painted sky is now covered by the black tornado of Juniper's demons.

The compelled guest scream in terror trying to run to the nearest exit but some of the demons block the exits.

Davina, Jackson, and Hayley stand their frozen in fear.

Elijah stands in front of Hayley like a shield.

Camille holds a shaking hand over her mouth, tears stream down her round face.

Oliver slowly begins to step back ready to run like the coward he is.

Juniper's body falls limp as the last demon exits her body.

The witches stop chanting believing that they have successfully killed the Queen of Demons.

All of the smiles on their faces fall when they see all of the demons surround them.

No not them, their Queen. Demons hold staffs in their twisted hands all of them begin hitting the floor with their staffs summoning their Queen's Demon.

The witches and everyone grows silent while the pounding grows louder.

Juniper's body twitches violently. She lurches forward, bones popping out of place.

Before everyone's eyes the once beautifully dressed Juniper is now replaced with the menacing Macaria.

Juniper's skin tight dress ripped to shreds only a few pieces of it hang onto her demons body.

Large black horns protrude from the top of her head.

June's beautifully painted nails grown into large black claws.

Macaria smiles showing off her large fangs before disappearing.

The dangerous demon appears next to one of the witches sinking her claws and teeth into the witch.

Macaria's blood lust is much greater than any vampire's, and a hell of a lot greater than Juniper's.

Once she starts tearing into the witch its only a matter of seconds before the witch's screams go silent but that doesn't stop Macaria from tearing into the witch's flesh until white bloody bone is seen.

The other witches try to harm Macaria with Papa Tunde's blade but as soon as the blade is stabbed into her Aztec tattooed back her obsidian black wings come out.

The witch who stabbed the demon falls to her knees out of fear realizing her big mistake.

Macaria slowly stalks towards her prey her long obsidian wings dragging on the floor.

The witch begins to crawl away but doesn't get to far because Macaria is now standing over her.

The pleading witch cries out as Macaria's clawed feet dig into her arms just like before the witch is dead within seconds.

The bloody Macaria turns to the two male witches that are holding hands still chanting.

A dark chuckle escapes Macaria's lips causing a chill to run down everyone's spine.

Her wings are spread out as if she is ready to take off but instead of taking off her sharp jaw unhinges and a loud screech comes from her.

Her screech shakes the whole Compound the two witches fall to the floor clutching their heads flopping around like fish out of water.

Once she stops the witches body stops lying dead on the floor she bends down ripping their hearts out sinking her fangs into them, eating them both as she stalks to her next victim.

The other older male witch tried to run but it was no use.

The other demons wouldn't move no matter what spell he used.

He was stuck there just like Macaria wanted him to be.

She appears in front of him staring at him with her obsidian black and red eyes.

He backs away in fear but before he could get to far Macaria grabs him and holds him against her.

Her snake like tongue flickers across the mans face, he shudders.

Macaria's jaw unhinges again as she is about to dig her fangs into his neck to rip out his throat the last witch standing screams.

"NO! Please! He's my husband!!" She cries out.

Macaria stares the woman right in the eyes as she places one claw on the mans chest and the other under his jaw.

Her unhinged jaw attached to the front of his neck eating her way through his throat as her claws pull his jaw and body back.

The man's head is ripped off of his body. It rolls on the floor.

The last witch standing screams out in terror.

Crying over her dead husband but this is what she gets.

After all she is the one who organized this group to kill the Queen of Demons, they all knew what they were signing up for when they planned this out.

Macaria grabs the last witch by the throat, silencing her screams. Extending her dark wings Macaria flies taking the witch with her.

The witch cries and tries to get out of Macaria's death grip but it is no use.

Seconds go by before the body of the last witch is dropped to the ground.

A large hole in the middle of her chest it's clear as day that Macaria ripped out her heart.

Everyone is startled when the surrounding demons begin to pound their staffs again. Looking up the demons and everyone else watch the blood bathed Macaria transform back into their beloved Queen Juniper Claire.

The same large black obsidian wings flap slowly as they come down from the night sky.

The pounding of the demons cease when their Queen carefully lands on the ground.

Her once elegant sleek black dress now changed into a luxurious layered black ballgown.

The same long black horns protrude from Juniper's head with a neatly placed bird skull crown in the middle of them both.

Her long black and silver hair is loosely curled and many silver rings are fitted on Juniper's long fingers.

Carefully Juniper wipes the few drops of blood from her chin licking it off of her thumb all while staring Klaus in the eyes.

She smirks at him. His mouth is agape as he stands there in awe.

The demons begin pounding their staffs again six times before a small child's laugh echoes throughout the Compound.

The demons on Juniper's right move aside letting the smallest demon to inhabit Juniper's body inside the circle.

Juniper picks up her demon child holding her on the hip.

The demon child wraps its arms around Juniper, holding her mother tightly.

Klaus's brows knit together as he looks at the demon child his face falls when he puts the pieces together.

The demons don't close the circle until a tall man with jet black hair in an all black suit enters the circle fixing his black cufflinks.

He looks around at the bloody mess that Macaria made smiling at Juniper.

The two kiss each other's cheeks talking about the beautiful mess that was made with the witches bodies but their conversation was cut short when Oliver spoke up.

"June-bug?" He questions tears in his eyes he is covered in the blood of the slaughtered witches.

"You pathetic wolf-" The man stalks forward but gets cut off by Juniper.

"Now calm down, Lucifer. This pathetic son of a bitch will get what's coming to him why waste our energy when we can be doing things that are much more fun." June switches the demon child to her other hip running her hand on Lucifer's chest to calm him.

Lucifer glares at Oliver but turns around starting to walk away. Juniper makes eye contact with Klaus smirking at him before she and Lucifer disappear into the night. After they leave the demons pound their staffs on the ground three times before vanishing into the night just like their Queen did.
