A/N: Hi guys. I am really sorry for the lack of updates recently. But here is the next chapter.

Beautiful mistake

I was pacing around the Mikaelson Compound thinking about what I should do next. I mean should I wait for Tristan to make his next move or should I try to anticipate him. I mean I know Tristan pretty well and he always has a plan. I'm sure he has something in store for me. And hell, he's not going to be disappointed because "little butterfly Eglantine" won't be going down without a fight and she always wins. While trying to anticipate Tristan's next move, I guess I could always to stop Smiley Face Carver aka Lucien. Yeah, I'm going to do that. With this, I exited the Compound leaving Klaus and Aurora to… whatever they were doing.

"You do realize everybody can hear you, right?" I shouted at them.

As I approached the police precinct, I could sense something was off. Then, I noticed a figure trying to get up that I immediately recognize as Detective Kinney. I rushed toward him".

"What happened?" I asked after I helped him get up.

"Well, I just arrested Miss O'Connell when some dude arrived from nowhere and…" he started

"Wait a second, why would you arrest Cami in the first place?" I asked sensing something fishy was going on"

"Lucien" I growled between my teeth."

"What?" Detective Kinney asked

"Never mind. Just forget I came" I said before leaving in a whirlwind.

I stopped by Lucien's penthouse. As I was approaching the door, I could hear shouting and people arguing. That idiot didn't even think about taking his prisoners to a place a little bit less obvious.

"Lucien, I know you're there" I banged at his door.

"No need to be so loud. You do know I have enhanced hearing?" he said mockingly lecturing me.

"You do realize I don't care. And you're going to free them both this instant" I growled at him. But I couldn't get inside the apartment. Noticing that, Lucien grinned

"Sorry love, but since you're not part of Klaus' sireline…" he continued grinning. Well I guess I would have to find another way. With this, I exited glaring at him. Well, I guess I can still try to find out about my dear husband's next move now.

I went back to the Compound hoping I would find Elijah there. Since he already had a longer meeting with Tristan than me, I guess he could provide me with some answers about my dear hubby's motives. My wishes were fulfilled.

"Elijah…" I greeted him. But his phone rang before he had the chance to answer me.

"What do you want Marcellus?" He asked clearly pissed off at the idea of having to deal with him.

"Euh… The Strix was instructed to follow Hayley. And we have a problem. That's Shen Min" Marcel talked. Before Elijah had the chance to proceed with this new information, I rushed out of the house and went follow the lead toward St Louis Cathedral. I entered the church to see that pathetic excuse of a vampire about to rip Hayley's and Marcel's hearts out. In no sooner said than done, I had him impaled with a wooden stake. That was my luck, a member of Tristan's inner circle at my mercy. This day wouldn't be as bad as I first expected it to be.

"Mrs. De Martel" he taunted me after proceeding who had impaled him/

"I see someone hasn't lost his humor yet. Good, you may give me some answers then" I grinned at him.

"In your dreams" he retorted.

"Wrong answer" he was starting to get on my nerves. So, I just pushed the stake further in his stomach, which made him groan in pain. Good.

"Let the fun begin" giving him my devilish smile.

Third POV

Klaus had just brought Aurora to the Compound where they were walking through the front gate to the courtyard.

"Please forgive the mess. My brother and I had… a disagreement over you, as a matter of fact," Klaus smirked. "Come" he led her to the staircase.

"By the way, what has happened to Eglantine. She was so sweet. And now, she's so…. mean" Aurora asked as they were climbing the stairs"

"That dear Eglantine… I would say time has happened. That was a thousand years ago. A lot of water has passed under the bridge. But come, on Eglantine is not why I brought you here" Klaus sighed.

Eglantine's POV

Here I was in the St Louis Cathedral with a vampire of Tristan's own little circus at my mercy.

"What does Tristan want? "I looked down at him. He kept glaring at me, not saying a word.

"This is going to be a long day" I sighed

"I can tell you that whatever Tristan has in store for you, you won't see it coming" he finally decided to say. But before I had the chance to question him more, Elijah had pushed me aside and was now trying to compel the Asiatic vampire.

"What the hell" I glared at Elijah

"I want answers " Elijah kept ignoring me and was now trying to compel Shen Min

"I won't say anything" Somehow, Shen Min managed to resist and broke free of his chains. Then, he rushed toward the window before burning in the sunlight. Great, that was my luck. He was my best chance at finding what Tristan is up to.

Later, I was pacing around in my hotel penthouse proceeding with what I have learned and I shall I do then. So, indeed Tristan had something in store for me. Well, I guessed I just need to find out what. "Game on my dear Tristan" I grinned

Tristan's POV

I was comfortably seated on a sofa in the Davilla House, watching an old drawing of my little butterfly. What had become of her? The sweet little girl who was afraid of me and whom I could control was gone. Or maybe was buried deep down the cold heartless vampire. A part of hee that maybe I just need to bring back to the surface. But I couldn't just kidnap her. She would see me coming from miles. The old way then. I would just win her back the old way. She won't see that one coming.

"Let the game begin my dear Eglantine" I smiled.
