Anya's ankle started to throb, but she ignored the pain. She tensed up when she sensed someone standing behind her, growling. She closed her eyes, too frightened to turn around, then she heard a familiar voice. She turned to see Damon and relief washed over her, but her gaze turned to the body missing his heart. She stared in horror at what was in front of her, and didn't protest when Damon scooped her up and ran off with her.

She didn't say anything until they were in his car, driving down the highway. "I had it handled myself." She said, looking out the window. She didn't want to tell him where she wanted to go, so she remained silent. "I want you to stop driving." She said, glancing over at him. "I don't want to run, I'm sick of running all the time." She said. "I can make this car stop, Damon. So stop it, or I will." She said. She could feel the emotions coming back, but this time she fought to control them. "Please, Damon. I need to go alone... I need to see my mother..." She said softly, looking down at her hands. The feeling went away and she was calmer now.

Klaus nodded. He watched as Cassie left. Was what she said true? Could he really trust her? While she was gone, Klaus made a quick call to Elijah to let him in on what Cassie just told him. "Brother, where are you?" Elijah asked, concern in his voice. "I'm with Cassie. You need to have extra eyes on Hayley, and her pack. I'll tell you all about it later, but keep them safe. It looks like we've got visitors who are interested in the head of every supernatural in town- and to get to use they are gathering the strongest witches." Klaus said through gritted teeth. "You mean that girl from last night?" Elijah asked after a couple seconds of silence. "Especially her, and Devina. They are the two strongest in New Orleans. Just watched over Hayley." At the, Klaus hung up.
