"GOOD EVENING." Leviana began. Eve immediately stood up, surprised by the original's appearance "I think I might have something which belongs to you."

"Lev, I got this." Hayley told her, trying to make sure the brunette original didn't do anything rash. "Are you okay?"

"The bite has healed, the ugly sickness as broken, but for some strange reason, I have this sharpened lingering sensation in my back." She drawled, sending a deadly glare to the blonde woman.

"I have to get her back home, but I'll be back, okay? I need to know more." Hayley said with a tone of eagerness.

"You keep that mark covered up." The blonde woman demanded. She walked away and Leviana started to walk closer to Hayley.

"What happened? Who was that? And do I need to kill her?" Leviana questioned.

"I just met part of my family." Hayley said still full of shock. Leviana watched the girl walk all the way to the car. She was watching her as if the minute she took her eyes off of her, something bad would happen.

"So, I assume that is a no-go on the killing her plan." Leviana mumbled to herself. She wasn't going to kill her either way, she knew if she killed Hayley's only chance of finding a family, she would never forgive her.

The two brunettes were now in a car in-front of the plantation. There was an awkward silence until Hayley decided it was time to break it.

"So thanks for the ride."

"Yeah. That was quite the awkward little adventure, some might say." Leviana let out a small chuckle before talking about the one thing she'd been dreading. "I'm sorry I tried to hurt you. I wouldn't do that, ever."

"Lev — tell me what happened after Celeste died. What did you cover up, what happened?"

"That isn't important." Leviana said almost immediately.

"It is important. A thousand years of memories, and that's what breaks through your fever brain? I want to know. Show me."

Leviana eventually caved in and rose her hand up to meet Hayley's temple.

Elijah was in the washroom, standing over Celeste's body. He didn't know what to do. He fell to his knees, never looking away from Celeste's lifeless body,nhe grabbed her by the sides of her neck and rested his forehead on hers. Then, he let out a yell full of anger and sadness. On the other side of the compound Leviana heard his scream and sped to him. She saw that Klaus had placed Celeste's body in water to make it look like she had drowned. She went to go comfort her brother but before she could say anything he hugged her and sobbed into her shoulder.
