Books are being tossed from the shelves in the Mikaelson library by the psychotic paranoid Hybrid.

Elijah sits at a desk writing in a book, Juniper on the other hand sits on her phone texting Hayley.

Klaus is accusing his older brother of stealing their mother's grimoire.

Juniper was called by the Noble Mikaelson and asked to go with him to visit the pregnant werewolf in the Bayou but first Elijah wanted to confront his brother.

"I began to wonder if the thief was a bit closer to home," Klaus tilts his head to the side glaring at Elijah. Juniper bites her bottom lip to stop the smile from forming enjoying the crazy demon that twinkles in Klaus' blue eyes. "Don't make this harder than it has to be, Brother."

Damn that's hot.June shifts in her seat her body beginning to overheat.

"Well, admittedly, I did have a theory that your sudden interest in mother's grimoire was in some way related to whatever foolishness you've been conducting with the Crescent wolves.

" Klaus smirks at his cocky brother, Elijah continues, "Therefore, I took it upon myself to carefully place it where naughty little fingers could not pry. "

He did not just say naughty. Juniper looks away from the brothers to keep herself from laughing. She covers her mouth with her hand. He really fucken said naughty. Wait till Lucifer hears about this. He's gonna lose his shit.

"Something funny, Little Demon?" Klaus questions a dark smirk still on his lips.

Be serious! "Nope. No. Not at all," She shakes her head with a forced frown on her pink lips.

June makes eye contact with Elijah, she takes a deep breath fighting the strong urge not to laugh.

"You know what I'm gonna wait outside cause I got a phone call to make," She pats Klaus chest as she walks by, "See you later Princess. "

A small laugh escapes her lips both brothers hear her mutter, "Stupid fucker said naughty."

Klaus rolls his eyes at the immaturity of the Demon Queen. Watching her leave he admires her body.

Juniper begins to hum a few lyrics of a song that she's working on as she waits for Elijah to be done with Klaus so they can leave. A few minutes pass when Elijah exits the room oh-so eloquentlyheading down the stairs towards the humming Demon Queen.

"Bye Princess! Don't pout all day!" Juniper shouts from the bottom of the stairs when she sees Elijah.

Juniper zips up her sweater even more, not really prepared for it to be this windy down at the Bayou. Elijah walks next the perky Juniper, she heads towards the small house where Hayley is.

"Well if it isn't the lovely Eve-ning star and sexy baby momma," Juniper smirks winking at the two women.

"Hi June," Eve greets with a soft smile pushing her blonde bangs out of her eyes. Her green eyes dart to Elijah frowning slightly.

"Pardon the interruption. I wonder if I might have a quick word with the conspirators of a supposed uprising," Elijah's deep voice causes Juniper to slowly turn her head with knitted brows.

What the hell was that?

"Yeah. So where's Jacks and dickhead?"

Juniper sits on a table in the barn one leg swinging off of the dark handmade table while she leans forward on the other.

Her silver gun lays next to her dying to be used.

Jackson leans on a pillar across the barn from his best friend while Oliver cautiously stands behind him.

Hayley stands to the side waiting to interveneif necessary.

"Your making a grave mistake," said Elijah taking off his scarf.

"So you're just worried about us. Is that it? And here I thought you didn't care about me anymore June-bug," Oliver smirks earning a bullet to the leg. "Fuck!" He falls to the floor dark blood seeping through his blue jeans.

Everyone looks at Juniper with wide eyes, "What? I told you I'd shoot his bitch ass if he said anything to me." She scoffs leaning back on her perched leg.

"Look Elijah we know all about your brother's reputation, but if there is even a chance that these rings can help us take control of our curse-" Jackson gets cut up by the glaring Oliver. Elijah takes off his jacket and scarf.

"Our gift." He mutters pulling the bullet out so he can slowly start healing.

Jackson continues. "Then, honestly, we don't care what he's really after. We won't have to."

Juniper sits there listening to the Noble Mikaelson talk about the other factions not approving of the wolves having power.

As much as it pains June to admit it Oliver's comment about the other factions having a problem with the wolves even being alive is true.

All of the other factions want the wolves dead, it doesn't matter if they are innocent or not.

Everyone's eyes turn to Lucifer, the Ruler of the Underworld sits next to June after fixing his black tie.

Their hushed conversation ceases whenLucifer leaves with a smirk, the distraction gave Elijah enough time to think of a rebuttalto Oliver's statement.

So the Noble Mikaelson turns to the pregnant werewolf reminding her of the pledge that she signed agreeing for peace.

She argues that they wolves want a better life but it falls upon Deaf ears seeing as Elijah is more concerned about what his brother will do than how the wolves are being treated.

A loud motorcycle approaches the group, all the men exit the barn first. Juniper follows Hayley still muttering what Lucifer had told her, the pregnant werewolf asks June what she is muttering but gets no answer.

The Queen of Demon's mind is racing with possibilities about what the message could mean.

Looking up at the man on the motorcycle, his colored eyes twinkle with mischief.

It hits Juniper like a rock. "GET DOWN!!!" She yells only having millisecondsto cover Hayley as best as possible.

A roaring bomb send everyone back. Injured wolves and metal scraps are scattered in all directions. Dark haunting smoke rises to the pale blue sky. Juniper wakes up to a loud ringing in her ears and an unbearable pain in her right shoulder. A heavy grunt leaves her dirt covered lips.

Hayley rolls over glancing at Oliver then to Juniper. June's shaking bloody hands wrap around the scrap metal that is lodged into her shoulder, Hayley sees her struggling and helps her. A loud yell leaves Juniper's lipsas the piece of metal is removed, leaving her a panting mess.

"I have to burn it close," She pants tearing off a piece of her tank top off, stopping halfway to cry out in pain.

A long strip of June's tank top is ripped off showing her pale black blood covered stomach. Hayley quickly wraps the piece of cloth tightly around Juniper's torn shoulder. Fumbling with the lighter because of her shaking hand Hayley takes it from June lighting the cloth on fire.

Once June is healed both women get up to help others. They see two small children crying out for their Dad, who lays unconscious on the floor.

"It's okay sweetie come here," Juniper and Hayley both pick up a child. "Are you hurt?" Both children shake their heads. "Okay we're going to get you somewhere safe."

"Jackson?" Hayley calls out causing Juniper to spin ignoring the dull aches and pain all over her body.

"Thank Satan you're okay," Juniper mutters hugging her best friend.

"Get them away from here," Hayley orders, they both hand him the two children.

Juniper calls a few of her lower level demons,"Μα? καλ?σατε, Βασ?λισσα; " (You called upon us, My Queen?)

Elijah kneels down next to the injured father along with Hayley. The bold pregnant werewolf asks Elijah to help the injured to the barn.

Juniper and Hayley move together helping those who need it. June spots Oliver about to pull out a branch that is pierced though a young wolf's leg.

"Oliver NO!" Juniper yells.

Hayley knees down next to the girl demanding his shirt. Quickly as possible, Hayley wraps the shirt around the girl's leg while June distracts her asking for her name and the date. The girl yells out when Hayley tighten the tourniquet.

"You got her?" June asks Eve, the blonde nods carefully lifting her up with Oliver's help.

Oliver tosses a chair to the side yelling out in frustration, catching both Juniper's and Hayley's attention.

"Vampires," He growls out, "They don't even have the guts to do their own dirty work themselves. I mean why bother when you can just compel some poor son of a bitch to do it for you! I say we hit them back hard," His destructivedemon is showing but June sees a flicker of his guilt demon.

"Stay here, Oliver. I need you to look after everyone until I get back," Hayley growls.

"If this was vampires, I'm pretty sure that I can guess who gave the order." Hayley breaks a a branch in half. "I'm gonna go find Marcel." Hayley then grabs Juniper's hand dragging her away.

~

Hayley speeds in Juniper's car, not allowing the Demon Queen to come with even though Juniper was arguing to go. The wolf demanded that she do this alone asking for Juniper to take care of the wolves.

As much Juniper fought to go she remembered the message her demons gave her, so she used her abilities to transport herself back to the wolves. There's more bombs.

The distressed Juniper runs up her best friend, "There's more! Everyone has to leave now!"

Everyone begins scattering for a safe place, when the bombs go off.

One right after another it haunts the children that crying next to their parents.

Scaring the young and old. The bombs echo one another, burned and mutilated bodies are everywhere.

Juniper helps whoever she can but the bombs keep coming.

Nine toxic clouds laugh and dance in the air, joyousof the destruction they caused. Everything else is now silent.
