This is my very first fanfiction! Criticism is ok and appreciated as long as it's helpful! I DO NOT own the Originals or TVD, which I find unfortunate… Anyway, let me know what you think, and if you'd like me to continue! Enjoy, hopefully!
"Klaus! Listen." Elijah implores, trying to make his brother understand, realize, what was happening. Make him listen to the quick heartbeat of the frightened girl, and to the even quicker heartbeat of the child in her womb. Hayley's hand goes to her stomach instinctively, protecting the child she only just recently discovered.
Klaus's eyes drift to Hayley, a girl he figured he'd never see again. He didn't particularly want to encounter her after their last meeting, the one that had supposedly created the child whose heartbeat he could hear fluttering in the young wolfs stomach. A heartbeat that almost matched his own. His eyes blazed in sudden anger and disbelief.
"Its impossible," he sneers "I'm a vampire! I despise liars little wolf." He's in front of her in an instant, his stance threatening. Elijah steps forward to step in between the two, but stops when Hayley suddenly straightens, staring coldly into Klaus's eyes.
"I would never lie about something as serious as this Klaus! Besides, I've been here, basically a prisoner for weeks! Don't you think I would've admitted to it not being your child by now if that were true?! And you," She steps forward during her speech, her outstretched finger poking Klaus on the chest, annoyance clear in her eyes " you are not just a regular vampire! You're a frickin hybrid Klaus! Obviously normal vampire rules don't apply to you!" Her chest is heaving at this point with her anger and vehemence. Klaus smirked. He dares to smirk at me right now?! Hayley clenches her fist, pondering on her chance of hitting him. Her chance is low, she knows, but then Klaus quirks an eyebrow, smirking again as though he knows her thoughts and oh, how she wants to hit him! Elijah intercedes, probably predicting her thoughts, and speaks up to the witches around them.
" Now that that is settled, what are your terms for releasing Hayley to us?" Klaus' eyes roll at his brothers cordial attitude. For as long as the originals have known witches, Elijah should have learned that no matters with witches were ever simple. Sophie steps forward, becoming the mediator for the discussion.
" Klaus and you need to help us. Marcel and his vampires are terrorizing witches, prohibiting us from using our magic! They've chased off the weres already, and we're next if you don't help." Done explaining their conditions, she looks expectantly at them, waiting for their approval of the terms. Elijah turns to Klaus, giving him an imploring look. " Their conditions are fair, don't you agree brother?" Klaus seems to consider, but then starts walking toward the entrance smirking, taking hold of Hayleys arm on the way saying " No, Brother, I think we'll take little wolf, maybe stop by Marcel's and tell him of the witches little plan." Elijah sighs dejectedly, hand reaching out to take hold of Hayley to stop Klaus' progression.
Hayley is suddenly pulled out of his reach by Klaus, his eyes suddenly werewolf gold, a glare pointed directly at his brother. Elijah just looks at him surprised, but puts his extended hand down, intending to take advantage of his brothers attention. Hayley beats him to it though when she suddenly lets out a quiet- to human ears- surprised gasp. The brothers smell blood and quickly look to the wolf between them who is staring down at her now cut and bleeding palm in surprise.
" Sorry guys, but you can't take her until you give us your word to help! I don't especially want to hurt Hayley, but I will." To prove her point, Sophie scrapes her skin again with a knife, producing blood. Hayley's skin also splits magically in the same place as Sophies, though this time she's not as surprised. Lifting her head from her bloodied hand, she and Klaus let out almost identical growls directed toward the witches, while Elijah glares at the witches and simultaneously clears the blood off Hayley's hand. He glances down to see the damage on her hand, only to see it had already healed.
" She's a werewolf, she heals quickly. But, that doesn't mean I can't hurt or even kill her! Think of it as our leverage." Sophie clarified her intentions. Hayley finally speaks up. "You crazy witch! You'd kill yourself!"
"And I'd sacrifice myself!" Sophie exclaims, clearly desperate. Elijah steps forward.
"It doesn't need to come to that. My brother and I will concede to your conditions, if you nullify the bond between you and Hayley. Won't we Niklaus?" Klaus glares, his fury palpable. He turns to the door. Hayley's heart speeds, afraid of being abandoned, left with the witches in her condition. Klaus stands rigid, deliberating, possibly thinking of agreeing just to have the witches dissipate the spell. Sophie's voice rings out, possibly sensing his plans.
" The bond will not be undone until you help us with Marcel! We can't trust Klaus' word Elijah." Elijah's face grows troubled. "Well, Klaus?"
OK so, again, this is my first fanfiction. I don't think it's terrible- but I'm biased. I hope I strayed from the Original (hehe) storyline enough, and I'm planning on deviating more as the story continues. Also should my chapter be shorter, about the same or longer? I definitely don't own anything having to do with the Originals or TVD.
