Juniper wakes up in Davina's bed groaning because she does not want to deal with today's events.

Regardless of what she wants she gets out of bed changing out of last nights dress, into more comfortable clothes she then leaves to go get breakfast for Davina.

When Juniper gets back to the church she hears Marcel and Davina discussing the Annual Dauphine Street Music Festival, the young witch is begging to go while the over protective vampire decides against it.

"The whole point of you being up here is so you're not spotted out there.

You know what's smack in the middle of Dauphine Street, Sophie Deveraux and you know what the witches will do to you if they find you.

Plus your sister will kill me if she knows I let you out.

" Marcel explains not hearing the Demon Queen walk up the stairs.

"But you control the witches. Make her go away, please. Marcel its one night." The youngest Claire begs.

"You're not going, I will not have you spotted and killed by those witches." The eldest Claire speaks authoritatively.

"I do anything the both of you ask but sometimes, I think you forget what I'm capable of.

Did you know I can make someone's blood boil?

All I have to do is focus" Davina informs them as she focuses on boiling the vampire's blood causing him to sweat, she stops and smiles proud of herself when she sees the smirk on Marcel's face.

Davina turns to Juniper frowning when her older sister is gazing at her with an irritated look on her face.

"You're not going and that's the end of it." Juniper shakes her head 'No' leaving the Church. Marcel tells Davina something before going after Juniper.

"June wait!" He calls after her using his vampire speed to stop in front of her. "Let's talk about it, I mean it's for one night. How much trouble can she get into?"

"Hmm, let's see..." The Demon Queen trails off pretending to think, "Oh, I know.

How about getting caught by the witches, getting sacrificed for the Harvest Ritual, being punished by the Ancestors, because they are such a delight.

Or being kidnapped by your best friend the Psychotic Hybrid and his slightly less psychotic sister, and being used as his 'Secret Weapon'.

Or someone pisses her off to the point where she murders people within twenty feet of her.

Shall I go on?" Juniper rhetorically asks counting the number of possible outcomes for the night if Davina is let out.

"June listen to me, I have it covered. Camille can take Davina they will have a good time, your men can be back up just in case anything happens. And Davina can take care of herself." Marcel gets through to June changing her mind.

The Demon Queen, comes out of the kitchen with Hayley's and her lunch in hand, giving the pregnant werewolf her plate as the witch Agnes tries to convince Hayley to go to the Doctor that is in the Bayou for a check up.

When the witch first offered to take Hayley to the Bayou Doctor, June immediately denied the offer saying that she knows someone out of town that can do the check up.

"I took the liberty of making an appointment for you after hours, just us. Vampires will never get word of it." Agnes persuades Hayley into going.

"Okay fine. Bayou baby Doctor it is."

"I'm going too." Juniper adds smirking when she sees Agnes smile falter.

"Why?" The witch asks.

"Because you dumb witches shouldn't be trusted," Juniper simply informs her shrugging her shoulders still smirking because she knows she put a dent in the witch's plan.

"Okay then lets go." Agnes smiles irritation written on her face. Juniper texts Marcel telling him that she, herself, won't be able to keep an eye on Davina like she was going to do but sent a few of her demons to protect Davina and Camille.

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

The girls finally arrive at the Bayou Doctor, Juniper gets out of the car mumbling to a few of her men to look around the place and to get a friend of hers just incase something goes wrong.

Hayley and Juniper enter the office waiting for the Doctor to show up, after all the necessary procedures are done for the check up the two girls get ready to leave.

A distant howl is heard, warning from Juniper's friend soon a car pulls up a few men get out of it.

"We have to leave now," June whispers to Hayley grabbing her hand walking towards the exit, when the Doctor comes back with some 'Medicine'.

"I'm not that good with pills," Hayley lies watching the Doctor and the people at the door.

"Me neither" The Doctor explains filling a syringe with a sedative, trying to get Hayley but the Demon Queen elbows her in the face shoving the syringe in her neck.

The witches that arrived run towards the room, the pregnant werewolf shuts and locks the door while June opens the window helping Hayley out first. Both girls run, Juniper orders her men to kill the witches stopping to have her own fun in murdering the murders Hayley also stops to protect her child.

They use their own supernatural gifts to fight back, Juniper using her Demon claws to slash open the victims letting their demons leave their bodies.

More witches surround them before Rebekah shows up and snaps their neck, Juniper orders Rebekah to protect Hayley as they run leaving the Demon Queen to finish the job.

Juniper's demons start attacking the witches killing most of them but all her demon's ceasefire when she gets shot with an arrow to the heart, she falls to the ground slowly losing consciousness yelling for the girls to continue running when they stop.

Rebekah is second to get an arrow shot at her the last being Hayley, Juniper weakly stands up asking for help from her friend.

A few more arrows pierce through her skin she begins to fight off one of the witches cutting him with her claws he stabs her with a knife.

Her friend helps her kill the last of them since she is to weak to do it on her own, once all of the witches are killed Juniper leans against the tree slowly sliding down exhausted and out of breath she ends up passing out.

The Demon Queen wakes up because of the excruciating pain from her side, she looks down at the knife preparing herself to pull it out.

A small scream leaves her mouth when she pulls the long blade out of her body, the black blood with smoke oozing out of her.

Juniper struggles to stand up losing her balance every once and a while as she walks, noticing that Rebekah and Hayley are gone she begins to search for them hoping for find them soon.

The jet black hair woman with silver highlights fights gravity as she sways back and forth because of the large amount of blood lose, regretting not bringing her lighter since her wounds won't heal without being burned close.

"The witches were supposed to protect you." Juniper hears the Hybrid ranting a sigh leaves her lips glade she found someone that she slightly trusts.

"I told you..." She pipes up leaning onto the car for support, "Never trust the witches."

"How come you haven't healed?" Klaus asks her seeing her hand holding pressure on her stab wound.

"I h-hea-" Juniper gets cut off when she hears a gun click.

Turning around she frowns at the witch that she thought she killed seeing him hold a shotgun directly at Hayley.

Not a word is said between them the wounded witch steps forward, Juniper uses the last of her strength to kill the man and take his demons.

She turns back to the group, Klaus is surprised by the Demon Queen's capabilities.

She stumbled forward not having the strength to stay standing Juniper's eyes roll to the back of her head as she begins to fall forward, Klaus catches her in time picking her up bridal style he is slightly worried about her physical state since her wounds have black blood and smoke coming out of them and about what she is considering he has never seen anything like her before.

"I've got you, love. I've got you." He whispers into her ear as he carries her.
