"The what?" Elijah questions flabbergasted. His eyebrows shooting up towards his hair line in confusion.

"He has said it five times already Elijah!" Kol raises his voice in annoyance.

Elijah opens his mouth to scold his brother only for Caroline to gently squeeze his shoulder in an attempt to calm the situation down.

"The necromancer." Caroline slowly repeats Klaus's prior words for him. "He claims he's some type of god and can talk to people who are dead."

"How much of this do we actually believe?" Damon questions with an eye roll.

"Now is not the time to be arrogant Damon." Enzo comments with narrowed eyes, annoyed at his clam demeanor.

"We've never heard anything about 'necromancers' except for those fake bed time stories parents tell their kids to get them to eat their peas." Damon says, putting his hands up to air quote 'necromancers.'

Elena subtly elbows her husband in the stomach making him grunt in pain.

"Why is this so hard for you to believe Damon?" Alaric steps forward, fed up with Damon's ignorance. "A few weeks ago we were being attacked by a gargoyle! And yet you still think it's fake."

"Don't start with me Ric." Damon tensely teases. Everyone around can slowly see Damon losing his cool demeanor.

"No! Why can't you just accept this so that we can figure out what to do with that thing in our basement!" Alaric shouts.

"Guys! Just take a breather okay? We shouldn't be fighting right now." Caroline attempts to calm the situation down.

"We need to figure out how to kill him." Bonnie says, as she nods her head in agreement.

"Have any of you ever actually listened to the stories of necromancers? Hmm?" Damon argues back with a troubled expression.

"They can speak to the dead." Rebekah dead pans.

"They can bring the dead back!" Damon shouts, startling all of the adults in the room.

Everyone stands in shock for a couple of seconds before Kol steps forward. "He could bring Camilla back." He says with a hopeful gleam.

"And then they can kill them off like this." Damon says as he snaps his fingers. "He can bring people back from the dead and take them right back."

"If he brings her back..." Caroline whispers in sadness.

"Then he will rip her all from us in the matter of minutes." He finishes, looking towards them all fuming. "Do you know what that will do to these kids? To her?"

"How would he even know about her?" Jeremy questions. "Is it like when I could see dead people?"

"From what I've read they can see auras of death around people." Alaric shakes his head at the younger man.

"So he probably already knows all about her." Elijah concludes, looking towards Caroline who looked like she was going to have another break down.

Josie and Lizzie burst into the study with frightened expressions. "Hope and Jace are stuck in the Necromancers mind!"

Every adult's back straightens and eyes widen in panic.

"We told you guys to stay away from him!" Klaus shouts in anger. Raising his voice at them for the very first time.

Lizzies bottom lip begins to tremble along with Josie as they feel immense guilt. "Hope and Jace said that nothing was being done and that they were going to help."

Klaus's face softens when he realizes that they were still younger than the older twins and easily manipulated.

"Where's Alec?" Caroline suddenly questions.

"There's a lady here that said she needed to talk to him." Lizzie says shrugging.

"How did she get into the school? The gates are closed." Alaric questions, making eye contact with Freya who's eyes widen in realization.

"Caroline, Bonnie, Enzo, Kol, Davina, Elena! Go find Alec now!" Alaric shouts as him, Klaus, Damon, Elijah, and Jeremy all begin to sprint past the twins towards the basement.
•••

Klaus speeds down to the cells where he sees a young Vampire named 'MG' holding the necromancers hands as Hope and Jace hold his arms in a trance.

Meanwhile Hope and Jace stand in a cold dark room and are desperately yelling for the necromancer.

"Okay! You've had your fun! Let us go!" Jace screams out into the empty abyss.

Hope begins shivering with tears running down her face. "Okay! You were right. Maybe we just wanted to know where she is! If she found peace. No one shoulder ever suffer like this!" She cries out.

Jace wraps his arms around his twin sister in attempt to comfort her and settle his own nerves.

"I just need to know if she's okay! If she's happy!" Jace croaks out as he looks around for any way of getting out.

Suddenly the necromancer appears in front of the two with a sick smile. He begins laughing hysterically.

"Stop with your games!" Jace snaps at him.

"Oh I'm done alright." The necromancer responds with a crooked smile. Snapping his fingers they all gasp loudly as they get back into reality.

"What did you do!" Klaus seethes with his hybrid eyes out towards the necromancer. He shoves both of his kids behind him in a form of protection.
•••
Alec stands in shock in front of a woman with pitch black hair. "Y-you're my mother?"

She nods her head softly as she cups the boys cheeks. "You turned out perfectly baby." She whispers.

"What happened to you? I mean how did you die?" Alec questions with red rimmed eyes. Searching every part of the woman's face and body as if he was trying to see if she was still real.

She smiles softly at him and looks towards the skyline. "I was stuck in between a war of species in New Orleans. My younger sister was a powerful harvest witch. I couldn't tell her that I had you while she was locked away in a church so I kept you a secret. You're father was married so I couldn't send you with him. No matter how much he wanted you." She sighs.

"S-so my father was really..." Alec trails off with a small sniffle.

"The alpha of the crescent moon pack?" She softly smiles. "Jackson Kenner was your father."

"He was unhappy with Hayley. But we had an affair long before they were even married." Alec tenses at the name but she doesn't notice. " I became pregnant. And I knew that one day I would end up dead because of the war the Mikaelsons started, though it needed to happen. So I asked a friend of mine, Camille. That if anything ever happened to me to leave you with Camilla Forbes."

Alec stares at the woman in shock. "Y-you knew my mom?"

She nods her head again gently. "Camilla Forbes. Everyone in New Orleans knew her." She laughs softly. "Klaus Mikaelsons one true love. The only one that could calm the hybrid's anger. But I was one of the few people that actually got to meet her."

Alec stares in curiosity and confusion. "But she would've had Jace by then... Why would she be in New Orleans."

"She never told you?" The woman questions. Alec shakes his head no with furrowed brows. "Months after she had Jace she would check up on the Mikaelsons in New Orleans." She reveals.

"She never told me." Alec mumbles, slightly hurt thinking he knew everything about his mother. "That still doesn't explain how you knew her."

"I was walking down Bourbon street one day and saw this beautiful woman sitting at a table all alone. She looked upset, actually she looked heart broken. When I followed what her eyes were so trained on it was Klaus Mikaeson and Camille walking down the street. They were laughing and smiling."

"So you spoke to her then?" Alec questions as his facial expression turns into one of sadness when he thinks about his mother's heart being broken.

She nods her head. "I walked up to her and asked her if she was okay. She only gave me a sad smile and said that she would be okay someday. I didn't understand why some woman would be so upset over Klaus Mikaelson until she told me her name." She smiles as she recounts the memory. "We ended up talking for a little bit before she spotted trouble at the Mikaelson compound and bid me a farewell letting me know that if I ever needed a place for you to go to school that she opened one for her daughters."

"Did she know?" Alec tensely questions. "Did she know you were my mother?"

"No." She shakes her head. "I never told her your name or showed her pictures of you."

"Where is she by the way? I want to see her before this temporary visit expires?" She lightly questions. Alecs whole mood deflates even more.

"She's dead." Alec mumbles coldly.

"I see." She nods as she analyzes the boys face multiple times. "She loved you. With all of her heart. I may not have gotten to see you grow up but she is your mother. Not me. She wouldn't want you to feel guilty."

"How did yo-" Alec questions confused until he hears Caroline's shouts.

"Alec!" She shouts as she begins jogging up the hill.

Alec turns around to look towards the voice but gasps when he has a horrible pain in his back.

All of the females scream as they watch Alec fall to the floor and the woman slowly disappearing.

"Delaney?" Davina questions with wide eyes as she watches her older sister give her a small sad smile as the whites of her eyes slowly disappear back to normal. Along with her body. She was gone.

Caroline bites into her wrist and shoves it into her nephews mouth. "You are not dying on me today!" She sternly shouts at him with tears running down her face.

"You really want to know where your mother is?" The necromancer taunts them all.

"Just tell us!" Kol shouts angrily, walking forward to open the cell and teach him a lesson but is stopped by his brother.

"If you're wondering if she found peace the answer is no." He tells them seriously.

"Stop lying!" Damon seethes as he slams his hands on the bars.

"I swear!" The necromancer chuckles as he holds his hands up in mock surrender.

"She's somewhere very protected. But not for long." He grins widely. A mischievous glint in his eyes.

"Leave her alone!" Jace fumes in rage.

"I'm not doing anything to her." He laughs. "You have bigger problems coming your way."

Before anyone else can say anything else a knife appears in thin air and he grabs it as everyone watches him dumb founded.

"See ya!" He smirks before throwing the knife in the air and disappearing.

"S-shes not in peace." Hope whispers next to a troubled Niklaus.
