News Orleans
New Orleans is beautiful. At least that's what she had seen in pictures on the internet. Lizzie Parker had never visited it until now, her newly reappeared sister taking her there.
Her twin's driving is as horrible as Lizzie remembers; driving fast, taking sharp turns at an unsavory speed. Oh, she passes cars creating a third lane and sometimes drives the wrong way.
What do the police do when you need them? Lizzie thought, hoping her twin wouldn't kill them by then.
The blonde's thoughts turn to her child, Donald, the son of Milton Greasley, her epic love who disappeared without a word just like her son now.
Is Lizzie cursed?
"Say it if you want me to kill you, you shoot one of these heads..." Said Josie interrupting her thoughts.
In her sister's language that means, Are you okay? I'm worried (the last sentence is much less certain)
"I was thinking about Donald, my son."
"Don't worry, we'll find your Quack Quack." Josie replies, rolling her eyes as she refocuses on the road.
"Quack Quack?" Repeats the blonde witch with confusion.
"Yeah, that's better than Donald Duck." Lizzie rolls her eyes, of course her sister associated her nephew with a duck. Sometimes she had missed Josie, her uncommon remarks and her thoughtlessness. But after those feelings, Lizzie remembered the massacre her twin sister had committed that turned her stomach.
"Well?" Josie begins after a moment of silence, "who is the father?"
MG, screams Lizzie's mind in response. But the blonde knows never to give her twin too much information. The siphoness would be able to use them to threaten or manipulate her. She does not answer.
It is the complete silence between the two Parkers, only the noise of the engine and the skids of the car are heard.
Lizzie thinks she is going to throw up.
But she has no choice if she wants a chance to see her son alive again.

"It's over."
Romain looks at his girlfriend with confusion, she had been ignoring him for a few weeks and she had just asked him to join her at the Mikaelson mansion.
"What? What are you talking about?"
"I'm breaking up with you, Roman." Hope explained as coldly as possible.
"Seriously?" Romain asks without being too convinced.
Hope felt bad about having to break her ex's heart, but her Aunt Davina had helped her. She was the only one who knew about her relationship with Josie, so Hope was able to confide in her aunt completely. (She obviously didn't mention the reason Josie was locked up by her congregation.) It was a relief for Hope to be able to talk to someone.
Romain turns red (which is strange for a vampire) before throwing his point at a mirror and breaking it, this startles Hope, the boy had never been violent in any way. The commotion draws the attention of the only other Mikaelson family member in the house, Klaus.
"What's going on here?" he is irritated that he missed his painting, he really doesn't have much patience for a teenage argument. Seeing the state of the mirror, he stops dead in his tracks and gives Romain a dirty look.
The boy who was once red with anger, turns pale with fear. Romain regains his senses, he remembers that the Mikaelson family likes him, he is almost part of the family.
"I'm pretty sure that she cheated on me with that bastard Parker!" he spits with a lot of venom.
"So what? You break MY mirror that's at least a hundred years old. "His tone of voice is cold, he's really angry because he liked that vase.
"It's to release the anger, otherwise I would have hit-" The boy didn't even get to finish his sentence before he ended up with a broken neck.
Hope watches her father carry her ex-boyfriend around like a sack of potatoes, he gives her an uncertain look.
"My darling reassure me, you have finally left him? Because for my part I don't want him putting his dirty feet up here anymore."
"You're not angry?" murmurs Hope uncertainly.
"He's the one who broke my vase, not you."
"No, for cheating on him... You liked him and-" Klaus immediately cuts off his daughter.
"We like you more than that little jerk who thinks he can do anything."
Hope felt relieved, for some reason she thought her family would resent her for breaking up with her boyfriend.
"Well, now that we've got that out of the way I'm going to get back to my painting, would you like to join me?"
Hope nods negatively, she's pretty sure her dad is going to use her ex's blood to have fun painting. She wants nothing to do with Roman.
