[Hunter goes flying, but recovers enough to not die (11), but he hits the ground and is going to stay there for a bit.
Aiden comes out to stand next to Elijah, letting him handle the talking, being the diplomatic Original. Let's just say the werewolf's way of handling it would have been to beat one until his husband fell out.
The witches come to block them out on the sides, and the smaller squad that was sent to resolve the witch situation is starting to find themselves outnumbered.]
[Dealing with the Originals, in theory, is one thing. Actually staring one in the face, woefully unprepared is another. It doesn't help that the witches are coming in on all sides, and the leader of the squad takes note of Scott, Aiden, and even Freya when she comes out to join them.
Apparently, some of them do have some sense of self-preservation (1).
"Fuck this, I'm out."
He turns and heads back through the crowd. Some follow, equally aware of their own mortality. The rest look confused, if they're actually running right now.]
[They don't survive the second round of intimidation any better than they did the first (1). They flee, piling into their cars and disappearing from the cemetery, not even bothering to gather their fallen commerades.
Freya waits until they're gone, before turning to Elijah.]
I have the location of our friends. But I can't help but wonder - if they sent a hit squad to the cemetery, they likely also sent one to the bayou.
[She does check. And given that the hunters are still there burning things down, neither Allison nor Malia answers the phone. And when Freya takes that for the ill omen that it is, she pulls out her phone and calls her other brother.
( Klaus is overseeing a dark object ritual "killing," but, he is nothing if not prompt when it comes to a siblings' call. Well, certain siblings. He picks up. )
Sister. Should I take this as a sign you're recuperating well from your fainting spell?
As well as can be expected. I have good news and bad news.
Good news, we know where Hayley and the others are being held. Bad news, we had some unwelcome visitors by some of Monroe's loyal minions. We dispatched them easily enough, but we now can't reach anyone in the bayou.
[She glances over to Aiden, who is rapid fire calling anyone he can think of as she talks to Klaus, and he shakes his head in response. No, he's not getting answers.]

Text me as soon as you know something.

Freya et al were besieged upon my more hunters, they suspect the bayou of being a target. I'm off.

We'll handle things here. Good luck.
