The rain beat furiously against the window causing Hayley to turn for what felt like the hundredth time that night. She hated thunderstorms. Lightening illuminated the room as Thunder rumbled loudly above house causing Hayley to sit up abruptly. She panted slightly as fear consumed her thoughts momentarily before she sighed as she realised there was nothing going to harm her.
With a deep sigh she ran a hand through her hair before turning her head to look over her shoulder at the clock upon her nightstand. She frowned instantly as she saw it was almost half four in the morning and Talia hadn't woken for her night feed. She knew Elijah would have woke her and told her that he'd fed her and Klaus and Rebekah were out of town.
Throwing the comforter from her body and swinging her legs over the edge of the bed, Hayle began to make her way towards the door that let into her daughters nursery.
She opened the door quietly, if her daughter was still asleep, she wanted to keep it that way and she knew Talia could hear a pin drop in a crowded room thanks to her father's vampire skills. Hayle turned on the small night lamp at the far end of the room causing the light to illuminate the scattered toys she'd forgotten to pick up from earlier on in the day before she slowly made her way over towards the light pink cradle sitting in the far corner.
Hayle gasped as she looked down to see the cradle was completely empty.
Her heart rate increased rapidly as she spun around the room helplessly. A million questions rushing through her mind as it began to think of the worst scenerios possible.
What if Marcel took her? What if Katherine took her? Where is she?
Hayle instantly rushed over to the door opposite her own that led into Elijah's room and pounded on it deperately. Elijah opened the door not a second later, a confused and concerned look in his eyes as he saw a frantic Hayley with tears streaming down her face.
''S...She's gone Elijah'' Hayley choked out pointing towards the cradle. Elijah's eyes widened in fear as he rushed over towards the cradle. He walked back over to her and placed his hands upon her shoulder.
''Hayley, calm down we'll find her. I'm going to phone Sophie and she'll do a locator spell, whilst i do that, you search everywhere in this house and phone that werewolf friend of yours to send a search party out. I checked on her not more than two hours ago, if Marcel has her he can't have gone far'' Elijah said as he rushed into his room at vampire speed.
Hayley tried to take deep calming breaths as she rushed out of the nursery door and downstairs to where the number of the werewolf leader was pinned to the fridge. She grabbed the phone and with shaking hands attempted to dial the number.
She waited as the phone continued to ring before she eventually hung up and ran back upstairs.
''He's not answering. It's a full moon tomorrow night, they'll all be at the cave'' Hayley said, her panic increasing with every minute her daughter was missing.
''Sophie's doing the locator spell right now, she said she'd phone me back with the results. Why don't you try and get a hold of Klaus'' Elijah said as he placed his phone down upon the night stand
''What good will he do, he'll probably just threaten us to find find her.'' Hayley snapped in distaste.
''He's her father Hayley, he has a right to know she's missing'' Elijah said handing Hayley her own cell phone which she snatched from his hand quickly.
''If Marcel's taken her then Klaus best hope that he gets to him before i do'' Hayley growled scrolling down to find Klaus' number
''Oh i wouldn't worry about Klaus wanting revenge on Marcel if he's even taken a look at Talia'' Elijah said with a small smirk as he watched Hayley pressing the phone to her ear.
A moment of silence hung around the two before Hayley growled and hung up
''Got his answer phone, where the hell is he'' Hayley snapped trying dialing the number again. The pair froze as Elijah's phone began ringing and shaking upon the night stand. He picked it up quickly and put the phone to his ear.
''Sophie, please tell me you've found her'' Elijah pleaded his own fears growing by the moment.
''I have Elijah and you're never going to believe this'' Sophie said causing Elijah to grit his teeth in slight irritation
''Try me'' Elijah snapped
''Elijah, she's at your home'' Sophie said sounding utterly confused.
''What? No she's not! If she was here do you think we'd be calling you?'' Elijah snapped, his voice sounding more menicingly dangerous.
''Elijah, I've done this spell three times and they call came back with the same result. Talia is still in that house somewhere'' Sophie explained.
Elijah's eyebrows knitted together in confusion. ''But how, we've looked everywhere she...''
''What's going on in here?'' A familiar voice asked in confusion causing Hayley and Elijah to spin towards the source of it
Hayley almost sobbed with relief as Klaus appeared in the doorway of the nursery. A small pink bundle in his arms.
''Never mind, we've found her'' Elijah practically growled as he glared towards his younger brother
''What in the hell did you think you were doing taking her in the middle of the night'' Elijah hissed as Hayley took Talia from Klaus' grasp. Klaus shrugged off his jacket and placed it upon the rocking chair.
''My daughter was upset so i thought i'd show her around her future kingdom. She's been fed by the way'' Klaus said as Hayley began to take her out of the fluffy pink all in one jacket Klaus had put her in whilst trying deperately not to wake her.
''What do you mean she was upset?'' Elijah asked
''I came back about an hour ago and the poor little thing was screaming her lungs out, i'm surprised you two didn't hear her. Think you're getting old Elijah''
''Do not make jokes. Hayley was worried sick about Talia, we thought Marcel had taken her. i think you owe the mother of your daughter an apology''
Klaus looked towards Hayley, his eyes looked soft but sincere. ''I only took her for a walk through the forest to settle her back to sleep, I didn't mean to worry you. I should have told you or Elijah, I'm sorry''
''Just warn me next time'' Hayley sneered as she lifted her daughter into her arms and placed a kiss upon her forehead.
''If you wouldn't mind brother. I would like to put my daughter to bed without your supervision'' Klaus smirked
Elijah narrowed his eyes at him but nodded politely towards him and Hayley before he made his way into his own room and closed the door over.
''You know, i was thinking maybe me and Elijah switch rooms, i mean i doesn't make a lot of sense to have the uncle next door to the nursery while the father is down the hall'' Klaus said as he watched Hayley dressing Talia and a light lemon baby grow.
''Speak to him about it tomorrow then'' Hayley replied, not looking away once from her daughter which caused Klaus to grit his teeth in irritation.
''Hayley i said i'm sorry'' Klaus sighed in frustration.
''I'm not angry anymore Klaus, i'm just irritated. I don't think you realise the fear that i felt seeing her cradle empty when i know Marcel is still out there somewhere and that until he's found she'll never be safe'' Hayley said as she picked up Talia in her arms.
Klaus reached out to take her causing Hayle to look up at him. He raised his eyebrows towards her causing her to sigh as she placed a sleeping Talia into his arms. Klaus looked down at his daughter with a smile.
''She sleeps like her mother'' Klaus joked before he and Hayley made their way over to the crib. Both of them placed a gentle kiss upon her forehead before Klaus laid her down in the cradle. Hayle grabbed the knitted cotton blanket Klaus had brought to the hospital the day Talia was born and tucked it in around Talia who stirred slightly.
Klaus smiled in pride as Talia stretched and yawned in her sleep. He glanced over to see Hayley wearing the same smile before he glanced back down.
''I want him found Klaus'' Hayley said looking up towards him. Klaus turned his eyes to look into her. ''I don't care if you bring him back here dead or alive but i want him found and i want him put under 24 hour watch. I don't want him near her''
''Hayley, i will find him as soon as the werewolves potion is ready. I have both vampire, werewolves and witches out looking for him. There's no way he'll escape and when we find him, i promise you can get the first punch'' they both chuckled in laughter before Klaus placed a hand upon Hayley's cheek causing her to tense slightly before she relaxed and looked up at him. ''And if Marcel gets within five hundred feet of our little girl, i swear to you, he'll pay for it with his life''
Please let me know what you think
Should I carry on to when Klaus finds Marcel and allows Hayley that first punch?
And people who follow my other story I Own The Night, i will be updating that soon
