Okay, guys, this is Episode 1 of my version of Season 4 of the Originals. This episode will be on finding love and trying to keep it without breaking other people hearts. Yes in the future episodes there will be action but I want my season 4 to be about love and not just life of a paranoid hybrid (which we all love) I want Klaus to get out of this paranoid phase he has been in for the past thousand years or so and learn to lean on people. I want him to fully trust Hayley and give in to love and let it change him (not fully change him) for the better. #NOMOREPARANOIAKLAUS

HOPE YOU ENJOY!

"Klaus?" He wasn't moving anything but his eyes. I gave him blood and still nothing. Well, nothing until Hope pulled the knife out of his chest. I honestly forgot about that.

It has been 5 years searching how to save Klaus and his family. We had some help and manage to put the whole city of New Orleans to sleep and get Klaus. Putting a cloak on ourselves. Hope was now six and was wiser than me. We had been living with a woman named Jane (Hope calls her grandma) and Jane has been helping with the search and with Hope.

Hope was getting stronger in her magic. We lived in the forest in the Appalachians. Oh, how that brings back such weird memories.

"Hayley?" I looked at Klaus, who looked to be in pain and offered him my wrist.

"Here." I bit it and brought it to his lips, letting a few drops of blood touch his lips before he quickly and hurriedly drank from my wrist.

He stopped before he completely drained me and we left New Orleans. (I say this because he hasn't drunk blood or fed in 5 years and to me, vampires only have as much blood as they get.)

It's been 5 months. Since I and Hope rescued Klaus. He seems fine. He isn't as paranoid as I thought he would be. He seems content. He spends a lot of time with Hope. Hope loves the attention of course.

They go running every day. I run at night and sometimes when he tucks Hope in early he runs with me.

I have no idea what has gotten into him but he isn't as scared or paranoid now. He's turned into a softie and I think its all the cookies Jane has been feeding them.

He fixed us a drink. We were in the new study that Jane built him. It was so unlike him but he was genuinely thankful and glad and grateful for her that he takes her off her feet.

He took care of her gardens, cooked, cleaned. He was being a total dad and it seemed like he was taking a break. Like there was something always on his mind other than New Orleans and his family. And this night I was going to get him to spill his beans, even if it takes a bottle of scotch and bad choices.

He sat down next to me and handed me my drink.

"So, did you find out any leads yet?" I shook my head.

"Jane wants to bring them all back at once but we still can't find a cure for Elijah and Kol. We found a cure for the poison in Tokyo and found a cure for Rebekah's hex in Australia." I said downing my drink.

"How have you been?" His voice sounded of pure guilt. I looked into his eyes and I saw pain and worry. His face read sorry even though no words were said.

"Well, we have Jane." We laughed.

"I remember when we found her, well she found us. Hope was two and we were somewhere in Russia looking for a witch Hope saw in a vision. That's when she found us. She said,"There was a force that needed to be mended." She looked at Hope and Hope said "Grandma"." I looked away from his pity to look around his office.

"I see I missed a lot, little wolf." I don't know if it was a draft but a shiver ran up and down my spine as soon as I heard my nickname.

"Hayley, I cannot thank you enough for the sacrifices you make for my family, I truly hope I can make it up to you. I know it was probably tempting to just run away with Hope and leave me to my doom and my family at the bottom of an ocean." He laughed making me think he too thought of just giving up and leaving his family that way.

"Klaus, I would never, because like I said I want Hope to grow up with a family." I looked back at him but didn't expect him to be so close. Our lips brushing against each other, I could feel cold breathe. A string of my hair fell into my face (how ironic) and he quickly but gingerly and thoughtfully smooth it back behind my ear.

His eyes met mine and for a split second I could see the old distrusting paranoid Klaus overtaking but it was quickly replaced with such emotions to which I had to avert my eyes.

"Klaus?" Bad on my part, I bit my lip feeling suddenly aroused. What's wrong with a little pleasure while waiting for your boyfriend to come back? Everything! Hayley-

I felt his hand on my lower back and was pulled into a kiss so sweet and deadly.

It was a passionate kiss. It was simple. No tongue. No fierceness, hunger. It was like taking a bite out of a sweet strawberry. Just two lovers making love with one simple kiss. For an onlooker, it would have been like they were intruding on something so small, yet huge.

But...

Hope burst into the room jumping into her father's arms. Jane right behind her giving Hayley a pointed look.

"Bedtime daddy!" Klaus smiled picking her up but not before giving me a look saying we will finish later.

When they left, I let go a breathe I was holding. I just kissed Klaus and it was so frustrating!

"So, you and Klaus huh? I thought it was Elijah." Jane said as she walked out.

I looked at Klaus seat next to me. I thought so too.

I was doing some nighttime reading when I felt someone looking at me. I looked up to see Klaus standing at my door.

"Balcony?" He asked holding out his hand.

Just being curious, I set aside my book grabbing my robe and grabbed his hand.

I eyed him wearily,"Klaus, we need to talk." I leaned on the balcony and he did the same.

"Are you worried about poor ole Elijah, Miss Marshall? Or are you worried about your animalistic desires for his younger brother?"

"Perhaps both?" I whispered.

I looked out at the sky. Oh, crap! Why do you always have to be honest with yours truly Klaus?

"Why?" He laughs as though I said a joke.

"All I could think about was you when I was captive by Marcel." He admitted. All I could think about was you. All I could think about was you. What did that mean? Was he thinking of killing me if-

He grabbed my hand interrupting my thoughts.

"I didn't think of my family, my enemies, Hope, I just couldn't get you out of my head. You were the only one to stay by my side and never ran. My family all despise me over the years, wanting to leave, every girl I ever loved or touched died or ran away in fear. Yes, I know that it is of my own paranoia but you didn't care. Yes, you also ran but it was never in your intention to take Hope away forever, and now I resent myself for what I did to you. I need you, Hayley, more than anything. I only trust you and the people you trust I trust. You are a very loyal little wolf, so let me be loyal to you." He brought our hands to his chest and we both shivered.

I closed the space between us and we budded our foreheads together, our hands intertwined at our sides.

I listened to his heartbeat and it was a calm beat and it made me calm. We were standing there, having our moment. But one thing was on my mind. Don't I love Elijah? Or was it a rebound for the one who rejected me?

"Elijah." I breathed out. He sighed at my response squeezing my hands.

"You once told me that you liked Elijah more because he was kinder." He laughed.

"Well, I don't care about Elijah and his noble deeds. I care about you. I want you. I need you." He let my hands go and grabbed my face. He stared into my eyes and I felt the heat, our connection, our bond. He slowly leaned in and I closed my eyes.

Hello, my angels,

How are you liking so far? Good? Bad? Its okay lol be honest. I just want to explain this part. So they rescued Klaus with the help of a witch from Russia (mind you I am making this up) named Jane. They found cures for Rebekah and Freya but Elijah and Kol still are clueless. Okay, so how I am doing this is Klaus was on the wall for 5 years. He has a lot of time to think and of course, he is in pain. Mind you that he would think Hayley would let him rot and gone on about her business but she didn't. They have this undeniable chemistry and now that Elijah is somewhat out the picture, Klaus is hesitant but needs Hayley. He wants to live again. He wants what Rebekah said existed in the cold world of the supernatural for himself. Love. He realizes after everything that he and she have been through that he has found a companion that will always be there. Will it work? Let's find out...

That was two years ago. Hope is now eight and we have found a way to save Kol and Elijah.

This time we didn't make enemies. Jane and I found a way using my blood and Klaus's.

One minute Jane's and Hope's eyes were rolled to the back of their heads, the next Klaus was feeding them blood to wake.

He made his way over to me. "Are you ready?" He kissed me. I hurriedly kissed him back because they were waking. We separated when we heard Rebekah.

Then the rest woke. Klaus gave me a squeeze before greeting his family. Okay, the plan was simple: TALK TO ELIJAH AND DECIDE.

Elijah was right there. Alive. Awake. Yet I didn't care. I love him but Klaus has somewhat changed my mind on things. But I have to keep up performance. I walked up to him and grabbed his hand. Okay to tell the truth that backfired and I ended up in a hug.

When Elijah hugged me, it felt so wrong. He didn't smell like Klaus. His touch didn't make me go bunkers and I definitely didn't feel lightheaded.

I looked over at Klaus and I could see death in his eyes. He breathed in my scent and not letting me go, kissed my neck. I closed my eyes to stop me from growling. That was Klaus's sweet spot. I am going to definitely scrub my body today.

I heard Klaus sigh,"Alright, brother you're smuggling the girl, shall we go." I open my eyes to a retreating Klaus and sighed.

We were at dinner. Jane on my left, Hope on my right messing up her dress while eating Mac and cheese.

Klaus beside her talking with Kol about what spell they used.

"So we cannot return to New Orleans until we figure out what to cure us."

"Yes!" Hope smirked.

Elijah was commencing with Jane and I was talking with Rebekah and Freya, they laughed at her outburst.

"Bed time!" Hope yelled. Me and Klaus laughed. We excused ourselves and tucked in Hope.

We sat on both sides of her as she made up a story.

"Their once was a queen and king. They had lots of foes and friends. They had a baby girl and everything seemed perfect. It was until the kings brother wanted the Queen." I looked at Klaus and he winked at me I laughed.

Hope continued ignoring us,"The king and queen didn't know what to do. They were happy and content, now they were avoiding each other." Hope pulled our hands together I shuddered I haven't touched Klaus all day. My skin was burning with fire.

"Please don't end up as the Queen and King. We are happy." I pulled her on my lap.

"I would never avoid your father." She whimpered.

"That's what you guys have been doing all day." She whined.

"Sweetie, its okay, we will tell everyone soon. Its just really complicated, but before we do anything, you need some rest. Everything will be okay." I assured her. She kissed us goodnight.

To say the tension wasn't thick when we closed the door was an understatement. I grabbed his hand and we went to our balcony. I breathe in deeply and let it all out. I felt him before I heard him.

"Klaus what are we going to do?" I turned into his arms.

He kissed my head,"I love you, you know that." I shook my head and smiled.

"Yeah."

We held each other taking each other in, savoring the moment.

We heard someone clear their throat and turned to see Jane.

"They are waiting for you." She smiled and walked off.

We disentangled and he was about to leave when I took his hand.

"Klaus-" oh, just shut up and make your move. I kissed him. I bit and probed at his lips. Hearing his moans and groans gave me courage. It gave me satisfaction, reassurance that he was and is the one. We pulled apart seeking air and stared at each other.

"I love you too." We kissed one final time before going into our doom.

So this is the first episode.. Just wanted to add this. Anyway, I wanted to talk about the 'I love you' deal. Yes in my version Hayley does love Elijah but she realizes that she might have just loved him because he was nice to her. Get it! I want Klayley! So in my version and yes I know I am ranting but I just want Klaus and Hayley to give into their animalistic desires. They did and now no one will satisfy them other than each other. They are soul mates as some people say about their first true love. Alright this is Episode one. Hope you enjoy! EPISODE TWO ON ITS WAY!?
