Opening my eyes I am hit with a sudden sharp pain in my lower stomach, I sit up panting, gasping for air. I look all around and notice blurry faces. My throat is dry and I feel exhausted. I focus and see Klaus lying on the floor next to me. I nudge him to wake up and he does. I breathe in deeply and realize that this was the night of a full moon, meaning that I didn't transform. I run to the window and the moon has gone down.

Ignoring everyone I run straight down the hallway. I feel my mind racing. My body shifted which means I have no choice but to change into my wolf self now. I run for 'The Falls' and halfway there and once the excruciating, bone snapping  transformation has happened I transform fully into a wolf. I run straight for cover. I hide behind the falls.

I fall asleep and wake up to the sound of the running water

I fall asleep and wake up to the sound of the running water. The rushing, crashing sounds of the water making my mind race with adrenaline. I am alert. I look around and suddenly smell something familiar. I snap my neck from one side to the other trying to tell which way the smell goes. I sit down in panic. Before I understand what is going on Klaus  appears beside me. I look to him with my glowing amber eyes. I try to use my powers to create a semi permanent telepathic link with him. His eyes flash amber at me and he nods at me in understanding.

'How did you find me?' I ask, 'I followed your scent here, the waterfall is distracting and noisy which I thought you would avoid but, here you are' He says softly. 'Klaus, I won't transform back into my human self tonight. The thorn curse disrupted my cycle meaning that I am irregular.' I say sadly. 'How can we return you to your human form?' he asks. 'I have to be re- cursed on my birth soil, meaning that I am placed in a hole, in New Orleans soil and a special resurrection ritual is performed to reverse my transformation into a wolf. Complex and scary, but not impossible' I say hopefully. 'We will have to walk to the car, can we do that?' He says concerned for my hunger. 'I will be fine Klaus, I might need something small to tide me over but I should make it. Once there we need to find my mum, she should be able to perform the ritual.' I say whilst stretching my all of my legs. Klaus walks in front of me.

I walk slowly trying to focus on Klaus' scent. We arrive in front of the car. Klaus opens up the boot and I jump up. 'I hate riding in the back, let alone in the boot.' I send to him. Rebekah, Kol and Elijah sitting in the front and back seats. I growl as we pull out. We hit the highway and race our way home.

I fall asleep listening to the engine. Whimpering in my sleep causes Klaus to pull over and check me in the back. Once the door is open he uses the link to wake me up. 'Alex?! Alex?! Wake up!' He shouts inside them mind link. I jot awake, barking at the anger around me. Everyone apart from Klaus stays back, I growl towards Rebekah, Elijah and Kol. I brush myself towards Klaus. To reassure him. He smiles and closes the door back up and drives off. The moment we arrive in New Orleans it is a mad scramble to find my mother.

I tell Klaus where I believe my mum to be. 

Rebekah's View

As we walks into the famous bar we are hit with the overwhelming smell of humans and witches. Klaus walks to the bar and I follow him. We ask politely for Alex's mum 'Clarice' to no avail. No one wants to talk to us.

Alex's thoughts

Since I can read Klaus' mind I can also see and feel what he does. I sit frustrated in the car. Kol is sitting in the front. I know the only way for them to tell Klaus was if I was there, they all know me, witches and all. I am quite a New Orleans princess of the people. I use my power to open the car boot, Kol shouts after me but I run straight for the bar, to Klaus.

As I burst through the door and sit at Klaus' side commotion is caused. Everyone settles down once they see my coat and instantly recognize me. I nod and jump onto a bar stool and onto the main bar. I show off my howl and everyone listens to Klaus as he translates everything I have to say to them all.
