"MY mother will come for me." Bella said weakly as she tried to get free form the restraints.
The woman watching her chuckled as she poured a substance into the IV bag to keep her from doing magic. "I'm counting on it sweetheart."

Klaus had returned to New Orleans and went straight to the factions to threaten them. According to him, his son had inspired him.
"If you fail to find both my daughter and Hayley by the end of sundown, then your entire faction will face the wrath of my disappointment. Close proximity of just two Mikaelson's turned rain to blood. Imagine what would happen if I were to turn to my siblings for help. Our little family reunion would cause hellfire to devour us all, and Incase you haven't heard we can't die. But you can." Klaus said before leaving and heading back to the compound.
When he entered he saw the entire police department working in the courtyard while Mia led them all. "I need to see more results or you'll family will pay the price." Mia said before slamming a file down on the table.
"I need access to every single camera within a 100 mile radius. If it can take a picture, I want it." Mia said looking at the entrance and seeing Carter and Klaus walk in.
"Oh thank god!" Mia said running over to them. Klaus smiled as he thought she was going towards him but she grabbed Carter by the shoulders and inspected his face.
"Are you hurt? Tell me he took care of you." Mia said desperate for good news.
Carter nodded, "Of course he did mom." He said before hugging her, "I'm going up to my room." He mumbled before heading upstairs.
"We'll talk later." Mia yelled after him before turning to Klaus. She then wrapped her arms around him and said nothing. All she did was take in his scent and his warmth that she deserpatky needed to relax.
Klaus leaned down and kissed her softly, "We lost him." He whispered.
Mia knew who he was talking about and looked down, "I'm sorry." She said making Klaus shake his head.
"It's fine, lets just focus on finding our little girl." He said before kissing her once more.
The two went up to the balcony where Marcel was talking to a few officers. "I hope you're putting in all your efforts to find your sister." Mia said in a snippy tone.
Marcel wanted to protest but couldn't, "I legally adopted you Marcellus so don't even try." Mia said before walking towards the bar to pour herself a drink.
Klaus turned to Marcel, "If that's the city's finest, then it will wither from its own mediocrity." Klaus said almost as if he was complaining.
Marcel chuckled, "Now, what are humans gonna do that the other factions can't?" He asked as he folded his arms across his chest.
Klaus shrugged, "They have the numbers. We need eyes everywhere. Whoever did this can't hide from us." Klaus said as Marcel inspected Klaus closely.
"What?" He asked a little disturbed.
"Mm. Clear eyes, focused demeanor. You know, for Klaus Mikaelson, I'd say you're acting pretty normal." Marcel said a little confused.
Klaus rolled his eyes, "If you've got a point, Marcel, spit it out."
Marcel sighed, "There's chatter you're unhinged. I'm just making sure you're not poised to do something that we'll all regret." Marcel said making Klaus sigh in annoyance.
"Well, if the suicidal simpletons who took my daughter's mother and my daughter return her unharmed, I won't have to do something we'll all regret, will I?" Klaus asked in a threatening tone.
Marcel picked it up and decided to play with him a little, "What happened when you went to go visit Elijah in France?" He asked.
Klaus shook his head, "Nothing. He wasn't there." He lied.
Marcel raised an eyebrow, "No? You two didn't come face-to-face? Because last I heard, Hope's picking maggots out of her cafeteria food."
Carter walked into the room making Marcel look at him for the first time. He inhaled sharply as he tried to think of something to say to the young boy.
"Dad..." he said slowly as he looked at Marcel. "who's this?"
"Rebekah's boyfriend, ex boyfriend." Klaus answered as if it were not a big deal.
Marcel clenched his jaw, "I'm Marcel, you're..."
"Stepbrother. Mom, dad, are there any other siblings I should know about?" Carter asked looking at Mia who was looking at a couple of documents.
"Unless you father cheated on me again, I believe that's all." Mia said not looking up to meet his eyes.
Marcel turned back to Klaus, "This city isn't gonna stand for the kind of retribution you're threatening, and neither am I."
Carter chuckled and walked over to his mom. Marcel turned to face the boy with a look of curiosity. "Why are you laughing?" He asked almost smiling in amusement.
"What? Oh I'm laughing because you still think you're the most powerful creature out there." Carter said waving his hands around.
Mia chuckled before looking ahead of her and seeing a magical letter fall from the ceiling. Her face became serious again as she sped down there with Klaus and Marcel close behind. She caught it and opened it carefully.
"Nik.." She whispered showing him the address shown on the paper.
"Carter." Klaus called making the boy run over to them.
"Yes?"
"I need you to stay with Marcel. He'll protect you, your mother and I will go follow this lead." Klaus said making Carter nod.
Marcel looked down at the boy, "I heard you like video games. You're going to love Josh." He said as he escorted him out.
Mia took a deep breathe and reached for Klaus' hand before the two made their way to a car. With Mia as a driver, the two arrived in minutes.
The house was abandoned, something Mia always found out would be rigged. "238 St. Philip Street Tremé." Mia said while walking around.
"Wait." Klaus whispered. "What do you hear?" Klaus asked making Mia give him a confused look.
"Absolutely nothing." She said softly as she tried her best to pick up some sort of sound.
The two entered the house with caution. Klaus saw words written on the far wall and tried his best to stop Mia form seeing them.
When she pulled away from him she saw the words "Freak", "Filth", and "Abomination" written in blood.
Mia's hand covered her mouth as she slowly reached over to touch the blood on the wall. "It's Bella's." Mia whispered feeling her eyes getting watery.
"That pull you feel, almost magnetic, its your werewolf side pulling you towards her..." Mia whispered. "Why haven't we use that to find her?" Klaus asked.
Mia slammed her hand against the wall, "Unless SHES bleedimg out somewhere, Hopes cloaking spell will continue to hide her!" Mia said impatiently before storming outside.
She looked around eseratply, "I would never forgive myself if something happened to her." Mia's voice cracked as she sad that making Klaus embrace her.
"It's not everyday I promise something which should say something to the gravity of this situation. I swore to you I'll bring her home and I will." He said before grabbing her hand and speeding her back to the car.
"Tome for a little old fashion hostage situation." Klaus said knowing she wanted to her her hands dirty.
With that, the two first went over to the cemetery to grab a witch before taking her to a hidden place. They then went to grab a werewolf before getting ahold of Josh, who Mia thought was with Marcel.
Once Mia let josh go he clapped his hands, "Oh wow a hostage situation. How creative."
Mia grabbed him by the throat, "I don't care if you find this situation funny or creative. Don't think for one second I won't kill you." Mia said before throwing him on the ground.
"lovely Colette, be a dear, and enclose your new roommates in a barrier spell. I would so hate for anyone to steal you away." Klaus said.
The witch looked at Mia, "Why doesn't she do it?"
"She, think it will be funny if the witch did it. It's more entertaining and fulfilling." Mia said as she gave her a smug smile.
Colette shook her head, "I won't do magic for you."
Klaus rolled his eyes, "Josh, tell her how this goes. Actually, allow me to speak for you. If you don't do as I say, I will hunt down anyone you love, and then blood, gore, screaming, death... I win. Did I do it justice?" Klaus asked as he grabbed Mia's hand.
Colette takes the salt from him and beings her spell as Mia looks at her suspiciously.
"Don't try anything."Mia said as she began to chant a few words before stopping. "It's done." The witch said un happy making Mia smile.
"Great. Sit tight." Mia said before waving at them goodbye.
The two made their wya upstairs and saw an angry looking Marcel waiting for them.
"I sent your hotline squad back to the precinct, where they belong. They won't remember a thing." Marcel said.
Mia shrugged, "They were useful, unlike the rest of you."
"They were your playthings. And I think you have enough of those in your dungeon. Your good-bye letters didn't do any good. And now, instead of searching, the vampires and the werewolves are back in their corners, paranoid." Marcel said angry.
Klaus sighed, "It was your motivational speaking that failed, not my letters!"
"Hey, look, I don't know what happened between you and Elijah. And if he were here, he would know exactly what to say, but he's not. I am. And I'm saying you misplayed this. Let the prisoners go." Marcel said taking a step forward.
Mia did to, "And show weakness? Marcel Gerald, my how the mighty have fallen." Mia said making her eyes glow.
"If keeping Bella and Hayley alive makes you weak, yes."
Klaus clenched his jaw, "Don't use her to try to get back Joshua. For centuries, I have bent the will of countless fools to do my bidding because they feared me. I know how to protect this family."
Mia held her hand up to silence them, "Listen." She said. The three of them heard a lock on the door making them all run downstairs.
A box was at the bottom of the steps. Mia picked it up and handed it to Klaus. "open it." She said quietly.
He did as told and inside was a piece of Hayley's skin along with the necklace Rebekah had given Bella on her 13th birthday.
Mia's breathing quicker as her hands turned into fosts, she couldn't control it anymore. Mia screamed letting out a psychic blast. The power sent Klaus and Marcel into a wall as all of the glass shattered and the ground shook.
Everyone within a 10 mile radius felt it. Josh and the others downstairs in the barrier spell felt it the most making them holding onto eachother in fear that they would die.
"Bring me Kol and Rebekah." Mia said coldly before leaving the two on the floor and going upstairs to check on Carter who was under the bed.
"Was that you?" He asked crawling out of there.
"I'm sorry." Mia whispered sitting down on the floor está to him. "But in order to save Bella, I have to be the monster I know you heard I am." Mia saodmsoftly.
Carter shook his head, "You're doing what needs to be done for family. Always and forever." Carter said before leaning his head on her shoulder.
"You'll never be a monster to me. Do what you have to do, but bring home Bella." He said making Mia nod before kissing his forehead and leaving the room.
Mia put on her cold killer face and sped downstairs to where the hostages were. She saw the witch breaking open the spell and she immediately sped over to her and fed on her.
The wolf tried to run but Klaus stopped him by feeding on him and ripping out his heart. The two later turned to Josh who looked at them frightened.
"No. Please don't do this." He begged.
Mia let out a low growl as her hybrid face appeared, "No more games Joshua." Mia said as she slowly walked over to him backing him into a corner.
"Don't!" He begged.
Vincent ran into the room and cast a pain inflicting spell giving Josh enough time to get out. "That's enough!" Vincent said.
"You've just waged war on the witches." He said making Mia smile with red lipstick and blood still on her face.
Klaus tossed the heart at Vincent, "We don't care." He whispered just as he pushed past him. Mia did the same before stopping, "I give you my permission to take the bodies." She said before leaving him alone.
as Klaus and Mia were going up the stairs the saw something familiar on the box that had the "gift".
"Marcel." Mia called and watched him come out of Carter's room and downstairs.
"What is that?" He asked looking down at the box in Klaus' hands. He shook it and inside a coin rattled making Mia grab the box and throw it against the wall.
As predicted, a coin fell out and Mia quickly picked it up before examining it. She handed it over to Klaus who inspected the coin and gasped quietly.
"A message..." Klaus started. "A message from enemies we thought we buried long, long ago."
Marcel groaned as he looked at the famous symbol on that back that represented a group of the worst group of people the world has ever seen, "Nazi's?! Oh you've got to be kidding me."
