Immediate aftermath of sending Hope away
Klaus enters the family room in the compound where he sees Hayley and Elijah sitting on the same sofa. Elijah has Hayley's hand in her hands. He looks at Klaus as he enters the room. He lets go of Hayley's hand. Hayley turns around and looks at Klaus. She moves towards him
"Where is she? Has Rebekah taken her?" She does not realize that she is holding the front of his shirt.
He frees himself from her grasp gently and holds her hands. "Yes, Hayley she will take care of her. I have complete confidence in her"
He then walks out to his room. He has given strength to Hayley but can he cope with it?
He stands in front of the window of his room. He turns around in frustration and looks at the painting of the girl facing towards the tree- the painting that Hayley admired when they made their daughter. He paces his room. He keeps on picturing her face in his arms. He looks at his empty arms and leaves the room in anger.
"Niklaus" he hears Elijah calling him but he does not stop. He leaves the compound. He goes to the bar. Cami is serving drinks. Everyone suddenly stops drinking, they are looking at him. Cami looks for the source of bringing the quiet and sees him standing there. He is all broken up. He walks towards the bar and asks for a drink from the other girl on the bar. Cami moves forward to serve him herself but he stops her. The girl on the bar pour him the drink but he takes the bottle from her hand. He drinks the full bottle, then another.
Elijah comes back to his room after Klaus has left but Hayley is not there anymore. He goes to look for her. He does not want her to be alone. He finds her in the nursery looking down at the crib. He walks to her. He turns her towards him. She stumbles a bit. He sees that and drops his hands. He knows that she needs some space to absorb what is going on? He tells her "everything will be okay Hayley, we will get her back in no time"
He leaves her standing there and goes into his room. He goes to sleep knowing that Niklaus has not come home yet. Hayley is unable to leave that room and goes to sleep in the rocking chair in her daughter's room.
Klaus enters the compound in the morning. Elijah is standing in the corridor waiting for Klaus. He reaches Klaus in a whoosh. HE sees that Klaus is drunk. Klaus just slumps on him. Elijah has not seen his brother ever act that way. He takes him to his room and puts him to his bed. He turns and sees the painting in the room. He does not know the significance of the painting but it was the only painting that Niklaus is very particular about keeping in his room.
He leaves the room leaving him sleeping and goes to Hayley's room. She is not in her room. He looks in the nursery and sees her sleeping in the chair holding the wolf. He lets her sleep. Takes the blanket from her bed and puts it on her. His heart is breaking for his brother and Hayley.
He leaves her sleeping there and goes to the sitting room. He wants to talk to Guerra wolves but they need a plan of action first. He wants to deal with Oliver and Jackson. He sits down and start to think. Marcel has moved across the river. Klaus has compelled him to move there and forget about everything the knowledge that Hope is still alive.
He does not know how long he is sitting like that.
While Elijah is sitting thinking about what to do, Klaus wakes up and is disoriented. He gets up and walks to the bathroom to change. He goes down after changing his clothes. He is going out when Elijah catches up to him "Niklaus, we need to talk about what to do next?"
"Elijah I don't want to deal with anything right now. Let me go" Klaus tells him and continues to leave.
"Niklaus at least talk to Hayley. She needs you to talk to her about your daughter" Klaus stops at "Hayley" name but then he goes out.
Elijah looks at him helplessly. He can handle a tantrum throwing Klaus but he is at lost how to deal with this Klaus. HE does not know how to handle him. He walks back inside.
It is almost evening and Hayley has not come out of her room. He goes in her room. She is still in the nursery. He walks to her and asks her if she wants something.
Hayley turns towards him. She is still wearing the same clothes as yesterday and she is holding the stuffed toy in her hand.
"Hayley, you need to change and freshen up"
She turns and looks at him in daze. She puts the stuff toy in the crib and goes into her room. Elijah stops her by holding her arm "Hayley are you okay?"
She looks at him. Frees herself gently and goes into her room. She takes out some clothes. All of her clothes are very loose to her. She picks one tunic and pants and goes to change.
By the time she comes out Elijah has gone in his room. She is feeling hungry. She goes down in the kitchen to eat something but nothing appeal her. She realizes that she is looking for blood. She is horrified to realize that. She tries to eat some fruits to make her hunger go away. She feels a little better. She comes out of kitchen and sees Elijah leaning against a pillar in the court yard. It is almost night time when Klaus enters the compound. He stops when he sees them standing so close to each other. Elijah can see that he is drunk today too. Hayley and his eyes meet and then he goes upstairs for his room. Hayley looks at him going up. Elijah follows her gaze. HE is feeling useless. He cannot reach both of them. He does not want to leave Hayley alone. He tries to touch her cheeks "Elijah what are we going about the mess that has been created around us"
Elijah looks at her "are you sure you want to deal with it now?"
Hayley looks into his eyes "making this city safe for my daughter is my first priority Elijah so yes I am pretty sure"
"First we need to get Klaus out of this shield behind which he is hiding himself. Without him we cannot do anything".
Hayley looks at him in confusion "he hasn't talked to anyone since that day. He goes out and gets drunk and then he goes to bed"
Hayley looks at him in disbelieve "I will talk to him"
"Hayley it is not a good time to reach him. Let him be that way for a while. He needs to deal with it in his own way. I know him" Elijah stops her
She looks back at him. "Hayley give him one more day"
"Elijah the more we wait the more time I cannot see my daughter"
"Hayley we will get her back but please wait. Klaus is grieving too. Please give him some time"
"Okay Elijah I will talk to him tomorrow but not later than tomorrow" She goes into her room.
Hayley and Klaus share a parenting moment
Hayley is trying to sleep but she cannot. She keeps turning and then she gets up and goes and sits down in the nursery with the wolf in her hand. She can feel that her daughter is hungry. She covers herself and sits on the chair hugging the wolf. She does not hear the knock on the door.
He has heard her and Elijah talking and he knows that Hayley is right. Klaus knocks on her door. There is no sound coming from inside so after waiting a couple of minutes he gently opens the door. She is not in her room. He walks inside, he does not dare but looks into the nursery where she is sitting in the chair hugging the wolf. Klaus walks towards her and kneels down on the floor next to her. He cannot believe it that just a couple of days ago he has felt her first kick. She looks at him.
"I am sorry Hayley you were dragged into this mess because of me"
Hayley looks at him. She feels sorry for him "It is not your fault Klaus". She sighs "how was she when Rebekah took her?"
Klaus looks at her with helpless expression and he touches her cheeks absent mindedly "Hayley I promise I will get her back. I will get Hope back. For that if I have to die I will do that"
She looks at him "Hope?"
Klaus removes his hand from her cheeks and holds her hand "I named her Hope. I hope you like it. She is our hope" then after a thought "if you want to change it you can"
He starts to get up "No, it is beautiful. Thank you"
"Hayley you need to sleep. You cannot just sit here. Come"
He takes her to her bed. He tucks her in the bed. He is about to leave when Hayley stops him. She is holding his arm. "Can you stay?"
He swallows his tears before turning so that she does not see his tears. But he is not successful. She can see his eyes brimming even in this dim lamp light.
He says "yes of course". He lays on the top of bed cover. "Hayley" he can feel her crying softly. When she says nothing he wraps his arms around her. She calms down and tries to stop crying. She puts her hand on his hand and closes her eyes. Klaus knows that she has gone to sleep by the sound of her breathing. He tries to move his hand but she stirs and holds on to his hand a little tighter so he keeps on lying there next to her listening to her breathing. He does not know when he fell asleep. The next time his eyes opened the sun light is coming in the room. This is the first time he has slept without having horrible nightmares about her since they parted from Hope. He looks sideways Hayley is still asleep. He gently pries his hand free from hers and leaves the room without disturbing her. Elijah is coming out of his room when he sees Klaus leaving Hayley's room.
Hayley opens her eyes slowly. She remembers what happened last night. Even before she turns she knows that he is gone. This was the first night she has slept without crying throughout the night since she had to give away her baby- her Hope. She feels the place where he was laying all night next to her. She drags herself out of bed and changes her clothes. She is getting out of her room when Klaus is passing in front of it. They both collide. He excuses himself without looking at her and keeps on moving. Hayley goes in the opposite direction glancing back at him. They both don't know that Elijah is watching this exchange between them.
Even though Elijah knows that both of them are suffering but he cannot help but feel jealous. He looks at Klaus when he is about to leave and stops him.
"Niklaus we need to talk about our next step"
He stops and turns towards him. At the same moment Hayley comes there
"Yes we need to think about what to do next? I think we should contact Jackson and see what is going on in the bayou"
Klaus forces his mind to clear "Oliver is working with Guerra, Marcel told me before he told them about Hope"
Elijah looks at Klaus with surprise. "Hope" he whispers.
He then looks at both of them "I will go talk to Jackson"
"No Elijah I will go talk to them, you stay with Hayley and see what the witches are up to" Klaus interrupts.
He then leave both of them looking speechless.
Hayley and Elijah's meet with Davina
Hayley and Elijah look at each other. The only witch they know who is still alive is Davina so they decide to go to her. Davina has already locked Mikael in the attic above the church. Josh is with Marcel across the river. She is alone in the witch yard. She is not expecting Elijah and Hayley to come so she is surprised to see them. She has not left her apartment for two days so she does not about the hell breaking loose. She looks at Hayley and she see that Hayley is no longer pregnant. Hayley gets so angry when she sees Davina that she tries to strangle her but Elijah stops her. Davina is so surprised at the attack on her that she just stand there doing nothing
"Hayley, what are you doing? You are no longer pregnant! Did you have the baby already?" she asks
Hayley gets angry and does not realize that her fangs come out "As if you don't know what has happened?"
Davina is shocked to see the fangs. She looks at Elijah and then at Hayley "you are no longer a werewolf, you have turned into a hybrid but how?" then realization dawned on her "you died and you still had the baby's blood in your system so you can back as a hybrid but then what happened to your baby"
Hayley does not want to say those terrible words but she has to keep up the cover so she says "she died, your witch friends killed her before we killed all of them"
Davina is not prepared to hear it so she says "what? No… they cannot kill a baby"
Hayley loses control. Probably the combination of hormones and her new hybrid strength she frees herself from Elijah's grasp and pounces on Davina but Davina stops her this time with a magic force. Hayley screams holding her head "you feel that, that is your blood boiling. If I keep on doing that you will die. Ask Klaus how does it feel?"
Elijah shouts at Davina "stop Davina, what are you doing?"
Davina looks at Elijah "you are all noble and honorable. What have you done to stop you brother? He is the biggest evil roaming around you and you don't deal with him. Now I am going to deal with him. I have found a perfect weapon against him"
She still has her magic on Hayley who is screaming. She backs out of the glass house leaving both of them there - Elijah trying to help Hayley up who is still struggling from the magic put on her by Davina.
"I want to kill that witch. I am hungry and I want to drink her. Oh what is happening?"
"Hayley calm down, you need to control you emotions, now that you are a hybrid ever thing will be heightened- your hatred, your sorrow, your loss. I will help you get through it"
Klaus's meeting with Jackson:
Klaus goes to the bayou. The first thing he sees is a small child playing with the wooden stick. Seeing him reminds him of the daughter he was forced to give. He shouts "Jackson". He sees Jackson coming towards him. He walks to him and stops right in front of him.
"Jackson where is Oliver?"
"I don't know" Jackson tells him
Klaus just punches him. "Jackson I am not in a mood, where is he? I will not ask him"
Jackson gets up from ground "what is the matter with you? I told you I don't know. Last time I saw him, he offered me moon light stones which I refused to take. He told me that he conspired against Francesca so that we can have stones and he told me that he knew that she was behind the bombing but it was not supposed to cause that much damage. I have not seen him after that. Why are you looking for him?"
Klaus looks at Jackson "he has taken something really important from me. He has stood against my enemy and killed my daughter"
Jackson looks at him in shock "what? How is Hayley?"
Klaus looks at him in surprise- at the concern he is showing. He looks away "Hayley is fine Jackson. She is okay now. Our daughter saved her. She died but our daughter saved her"
Jackson "what do you mean by she died?"
Klaus turns to look into Jackson's eyes "Jackson Hayley is a hybrid now" He sees shock on Jackson's face
"How is she doing? That was the only identity she had left. How is she coping with it?"
Klaus stare at him thinking. He turns and before Jackson can say anything he is gone from there.
Klaus, Hayley and Elijah make their plan
Klaus enters the compound. He can hear Hayley and Elijah talking in the sitting room. He goes to the bar to get the drink. He looks at Hayley and Elijah "Jackson does not know anything about Oliver. He knows that Oliver conspired with Francesca and he was the one responsible for the bombing in the bayou"
"What?" Hayley says. Klaus is eyeing her. She seems agitated. Elijah gets up from the sofa "Davina has found a weapon against you and I have a feeling that she has got something this time Niklaus. The way she was talking, it is apparent that she is hiding something up her sleeves"
Klaus looks at them and says angrily "I want to burn everyone in this city"
Elijah "brother I know how you are feeling but we cannot do that. If we do that we will not only burn a lot of innocent people too"
Klaus angrily looks at Elijah "I don't care. Let them burn all" he swallows all of the drink in one sip.
Elijah sighs "brother we have to make a plan. We cannot just go on a killing spree. We need to make this city safe for Hope, not destroy it. The only way to make this city safe is to do is strategically"
Klaus laughs and walks to sit on the sofa "strategically! It is going to take forever to do that. I want to get Hope as soon as possible."
Hayley is listening to both of them. She looks at Klaus when he says Hope. "I want to see her as soon as possible but I agree with Elijah. We have to act smartly"
She gets up and goes to the bar. She looks at the bottle of wine in front of her. Klaus and Elijah are looking at her. She reaches the bottle, pours the drink for her in the same glass Klaus was drinking in but does not pick it up. "Davina that bitch is up to something. We need to find what is it? What can she use against you Klaus? Nothing can kill you right?"
He smiles "No love nothing can kill me except for the white oak stake which only I know where it is"
Elijah looks at him wondering. He looks back and the next moment he is gone. Two seconds later they hear him roar. He is back within a second and says "it is gone Elijah, that witch has gotten it. How could she know where is it?"
Elijah asks him "you had kept the white oak stake in your room! Are you an idiot?"
Klaus looks at Elijah "what else place is safer than keeping the thing that can destroy you nearest to yourself?"
Hayley looks at Klaus "so you can die from that stake?"
Klaus looks at her "don't look so pleased love. It is not just me who will die, all the vampires in my bloodline will die meaning the world will be rid of vampires except for noble Elijah's and my sweet sister Rebekah's bloodline unless Davina decides to use the stake on them instead of me"
Hayley gets annoyed and angry at his sarcasm "I am not pleased to hear it. Probably should be it were just you and not Elijah and Rebekah. What do you mean by bloodline?"
Klaus smiles humorlessly at her words. Elijah rubs his eyebrows "Bloodline means vampires who were turned by vampire an Original turned 1000 years ago. We have recently discovered that if an Original dies all the vampires in his or her bloodline die too"
Hayley "so Davina has got an excellent weapon to rid the world of vampires" then as an afterthought "if you die does that mean Hope and I will die too"
Klaus looks at Elijah and he at him "We don't know but I promise nothing will happen to Hope" Klaus says. Hayley is now moving towards the sofa, her drink untouched.
Klaus goes to the bar and picks up the untouched drink by Hayley and drinks it in one single gulp and then leave them. "Where are you going?" Elijah asks him
"In my room" he does not stop and goes into his room and close the door
Hayley looks at Elijah's worried expressions "What is it?"
"Niklaus is acting not like himself" he says concerning
"What do you mean?" she asks rubbing her eyes
"The old Niklaus would have wanted the stake back right now" He says.
