Problem in New Orleans

As he was walking a patrol car came beside him and stopped.

Stilinsky was inside, he asked Max, "What you doing out so late, Max?"

Max smiled at him and said, "Couldn't sleep, sheriff, had to take a walk."

Stilinsky said to Max, "Hop on, I'll drop you back."

Max also didn't mind it. He say inside and talked with Stilinsky, "So Sheriff, long night?"

Stilinsky said, "Everyone's on high alert since that bomb incident. I had to take long shifts, Max. So what's bothering you so much that you're not sleeping at this time?"

Max thought about it and said, "Nah, it's nothing big. I was sleeping and had a nightmare. So I woke up and decided to take a walk."

Stilinsky remembered something and said, "Now that you mention it, you know that Lydia Martin. How it she? I heard that she was having nightmares from nearly a year. Stiles used to talk about her often."

Max replied, "Yeah, we also heard that. Allison visited her last week. I think she's feeling much better now."

While they were chatting Max phone suddenly rang, he saw that it was a private number. He received it and heard, "Max, it's Elijah here. Do you think--" He was cut off by another voice, "Maxwell Argent, I want you to bring Divina here."

Max knows that something's wrong there so he asked, "Klaus, what happened there? Tell me. I'll be on my way soon."

Klaus said from the other side, "Haley and Rebecca were attacked when me and Elijah were out. They fucking attacked them in our mansion. They only left a letter asking for Divina. That's how we know that it's the witches. You bring Divina back here right now. We'll talk about everything later."

Max thought of a plan and replied after few seconds, "I'll be there by morning." And hung up.

Stilinsky who was watching Max talk on the phone couldn't help but ask, "You going somewhere Max?"

Max looked at Stilinsky and said, "Well, it looks like I'm going out of town for a few days."

Stilinsky said, "If there's trouble I can make a few calls. Don't worry, alright."

Max smiled looking at him and said, "Thanks, sheriff."

As they kept chatting, they soon reached Max's house. Stilinsky drooped him off and said, "You take care, Max. We don't want you missing classes here."

Max laughed and said, "Hahaha. You won't even notice I was gone." After that Max went inside.

As soon as Max went in, Selena came down from upstairs and asked, "Where were you?"

Max frowned and replied, "I'm going out of town. There's a bit of trouble. I want you to make sure everyone's safe in the meantime. I'll leave a clone here just in case."

Selena asked, "Are you gonna tell me what it is?"

Max said, "Some witches kidnapped a pregnant woman. I don't want you telling this to anyone. We clear on that?"

Selena nodded hearing this and thought that it must be something to do with Divina. So she didn't ask much questions and said, "Okay. If anyone asks about you, I'll tell them that you went out to meet a friend."

Max went ahead and kissed her and said, "No wonder I love you so much. You just read my mind."

Hearing this Selena was pretty happy, after that she urged him, "Okay, okay. Now go and come back soon. I don't want to sleep alone tomorrow night."

Max smiled and said, "You already miss your pillow, huh?"

Selene pinched him hearing this and said in a sweet voice, "You came a day late and you'll be sleeping in the couch."

Max sweated hearing this and ran off inside to get some of his tools.

After about five minutes he took everything and entered Sage Mode. Selena looking at this asked, "Do you really want to use that?"

Max replied, "From here to New Orleans is a pretty long distance. I kinda need the extra boost. So see ya later." After that Max disappeared.

Marcel who was tried of searching for Hayley was now drinking in Rousseau's bar. But suddenly he saw a greenish silloute materialising. He didn't think for a second and attached only to be kicked back in the face.

Max who teleported there, saw that Marcel was attacking him, shouted at Marcel, "Marcel, it's me Max Argent."

Marcel who was about to charge a second time heard this and stopped and looked at Max and asked, "What the hell, Max? What's with all this green?"

Max undid his Sage Mode and said, "I was teleporting from a long distance, that's why all that green and stuff. It's a power boost. I heard Hayley was kidnapped so Klaus wanted me to bring Divina back here."

Marcel hearing this growled and asked, "Don't tell me you're planning to bring her."

Max shouted and said, "Do you think I'm crazy. I already have a plan. Let's go meet the witches. I'll tell you in the way."

After half an hour Max and Marcel with a few vampires could be seen standing near the cemetery of the witches. Max walked in without any trouble and shouted, "Witches of New Orleans, either you give Hayley and Rebecca back or I start destroying all the graves!!" After saying that he charged up a ki ball in his hand.

But the witches who came out didn't seem to afraid. Sophie who was in the front replied to Max, "We don't care if you destroy it anymore. Because of you the power of the ancestors are slowly disappearing."

When Max heard this, he simply pointed the ki ball towards the witches and showed, "Then how about I kill all of you and take them away."

Sophie smiled and said, "Without our powers we would rather die than live. So go ahead and kill us, but I connected my life force to Hayley. So you kill me, you also kill Hayley and the child."

This was the exact reason Max was hesitating to kill them at sight. So Max lowered his hand and said, "I'll give you Divina back right now, but I want Hayley and Rebecca back, and remove all those nasty spells of yours. If I find a single spell on them, then you can forget about witches existing in New Orleans after today."

Sophie listened to this as turned to discuss with the other witches behind her.

After a few minutes of discussion Sophie turned to Max and said, "We agree. But you give us Divina first."

Max nodded and said, "Okay, but you first bring Hayley and Rebecca out and remove the spells, by the time you remove the spells Divina will be here." After that Max took out this phone and called someone and said, "Bring her in."

Noticing that Max was calling for Divina Sophie also told the other witches to bring Hayley and Rebecca out.
