AU: human fan fiction.
Hayley was walking down the streets of New Orleans searching for a suitable target to rob; u see that was her thing, she was a thieve and a manipulator, and she was good; it was probably due to the fact that she's been on her own ever since she was 13 years old; before that she just kept moving from one foster home to another until she eventually decided it was time to find her real parents, and somehow she ended up here, in the Big Easy.
She started approaching a very wealthy looking woman that was just standing down the street probably waiting for a ride, so she started sneaking out from behind her and with a very swift move she reached into her purse and pulled out the wallet, took the money that was in it and quickly returned it into the purse, and the woman didn't feel or notice a single thing the entire time; it was like magic, she calls it her gift, yes 'gift', for without it she would have been dead by now, she knew it was wrong to do so, but it's not like she had another choice.
Suddenly she hears a police siren, and she started to panic, how is that even possible? She can't be caught, hell, this is Hayley Marshall; she never gets caught; she just froze there as the cops started to approach her, she was already trying to come up with an excuse, which would have been easier if she was still just a kid, a little bit of tears and a simple 'I'm sorry' with pouty lips and puppy dog eyes would have suffused, but now that she's 22 years old she had to find another way out.
Her heart started to race, as the cops kept getting closer and started running towards her, she contemplated the thought of running but that would only have gotten her into an even bigger trouble, beside they had cars and they could easily catch her.
Then something unexpected happened, the cops that were running towards her, passed her and kept running, and then she turned around only to see that they weren't after her, they were after someone else.
It was a masked man running through the streets caring a back pack, which she figured had money in it, I mean what else could it be? The man was fast, swift and very illusive; it was as if he's an expert; of course he had to be an expert, if he's managing to escape 6 cops that are after him.
Hayley just stood there admiring his every move; he was like a ninja, like Lino in 'brick mansions', then he climbed and jumped off a very high fence as if he was a monkey, it took less than a second from him to get to the other side; as the cops were still trying to climb it, he managed to get beat the other 2 that just got here, and kept running, Hayley's eyes never left him, she kept admiring his skills, and apparently he noticed her admiration and started running directly towards her, and before she knew it she was his hostage.
He put his hand around her waist and pulled her backwards and their bodies collided, "sorry, love, nothing personal" he whispered into her ear with a very sexy British accent, he then put a gun to the side of her head. The cops already recovered, drew their guns as well, "let the girl go" one of them demanded. Hayley knew what she had to do in order to get out of this mess.
"Please don't let him kill me, I'm an only child and both my parents are elder and can't take care of themselves, if anything happens to me they'll die" she pleaded, as fake tears started forming up in her eyes.
The masked man started walking backwards very slowly, pulling Hayley along with him of course, he then got into a car and drove away really fast; he was an expert at that too, she felt as if she's in 'the fast and the furious', she looked back to see if anybody is following them, but there was no one, "they're not following us" Hayley said looking back at him; his eyes went straight to the rear view mirror and realized that she was right; "very well then, I'll let you out a couple of blocks ahead".
Hayley started looking around, not realizing this part of the city, for she was still new here, it's only been a few days, and she didn't have time to sightsee.
"Something wrong, love?" he asked curiously, "I just don't know this part of the city" Hayley said looking back at him, "you're new here?" "Sort of" he glanced at her for a while, every part of his face was covered except his eyes, and they were mesmerizing, ocean blue eyes that can make any heart melt. "Very well then, tell me where you're staying and I'll be happy to take you there myself, and I'm even willing to go to your parents and apologize to them personally" he said with a very calm voice, "my parents?" she chuckled sarcastically, he looked like an expert which is why she thought he would know that she was lying, beside the moment she got into that car the tears stopped, how could he not have noticed? He looked at her not understanding what was going on, "I'm an orphan you fool, I can't believe you actually bought that shit, I mean I knew the cops would believe me, but you? Guess you're not as good as you look" he kept looking at her confused yet admiring her lying skills, "take a right, less traffic" she said with a very neutral tone, looking back at the road.
After driving for a while, he decided to stop the car in the middle of a deserted alley, he then got out of the car and so did Hayley, "thanks for the ride and next time try to be more careful, I'm not always ganna be around to save your ass" she sneered sarcastically, and before she knows it the man was right in front of her, blocking her way, "what's your name, love?" "What for? It's not like you're ganna use it" she said trying to move past him but he blocked her way yet again, he then noticed the necklace she's wearing, it was a little wolf, "well little wolf, one can never know" at 1st she was confused by the nickname then she remembered the necklace she's wearing and looked at it, then she looked up at him smirking, she opened her mouth to say something but change her mind and decided to just give him a smirk and try to get past him yet again.
However this time he caught her by the hand pulling her closer to him, "how would you like a full time job?" "What kind of job are we talking about?" she asked curious, "well my family and I own a bar down at the French quarter…" but before he could finish, she interrupted "sorry but I'm not into lap dancing and sleeping with strangers" she tried to walk away, but his grip only got tighter "not that kinda bar, it's more like a restaurant" "well I'm not a good cook, and I suck in taking order from random people" she said trying loosen his grip but to no veil, "I'm not asking you to do either of those things" "then what are you asking?" Hayley asked getting tired of these wild guesses "I'm asking you to do what you do best" he said and although his lips were covered she could sense a smirk.
She thought about it for a second and then finally realized what he is offering "so what you're saying is that you're not alone in this?" she looked at him suspiciously, he shook his head 'no' "cunning, tough, manipulative we could use someone like you on the team" he said still smirking, "sorry but I don't do team work, I've been on my own ever since I was 13 years old, I look out for my number one" she said pointing to herself , she once again tried to walk away but he wouldn't let her, finally he got an idea, "come here, love" he led her to the back seat, opened the door and pulled out the back pack he was caring earlier and opened it revealing a lot of money "have you ever made this much money? I'm giving you a chance of a life time, little wolf".
Hayley just stood there looking at the back pack filled with money; she wanted… no she needed this, she was already behind on rent, she had no money except the couple hundred dollars she got from that lady's purse which is barely enough for the rent, not to mention she was hungry, and needed new clothing, since the one she have are old and casual, which will not help her with her manipulative schemes.
However she knew that the man was not offering this job out of the goodness of his none existing heart, there had to be a trick, there is always a trick, it's how the world worked for her, everything had a price, "what's the trick?" she finally decided to ask "No trick, like I said we could use someone like you on our team".
She knew that it's not all, there had to be something else, but what? Hayley's usually capable of reading people very well, another skill she developed while living on the streets, but the mask he was wearing made it impossible and every time she tries to look at his captivating blue eyes, she loses her words, even his body language was too illusive, there was no doubt that he was an expert at this, which is why she didn't want to trust him.
"I'll have to think about it" she finally managed to say, "very well then, once you make up your mind, stop by the bar, it's called the Mikaelson, let me know what you decided" he said calmly as if he expected her to say that "see you then" Hayley said as she tries to walk away.
Still he pulled her back to him and their bodies colliding yet again "now, if you don't mind I'd like my wallet back" he said with a cocky voice, and she knew that he was smirking, she looked at him surprised that he was able of realizing that, she never gets caught, but then again he did seem like an expert, she gave him a smirk and pulled out the wallet "sorry force of habit" she said handing it back to him "and my watch as well" she looked at him even more surprised "well you know what they say take one to know one" he said smirking, she gave him the watch and was walked away.
But before she managed to get any further he said "One last thing love" he shouted, which made her turn around, he pulled out some money from the bag, "here" he gave her a stake of money which had to be like a 500 thousand dollars or so, she looked at him a little offended "thank you I don't accept handouts" she said as mean as possible, how dare he? This was like an insult to her "it's not a handout, it's for the rent" she looks at him confused at how he knew, and he must have understood her confusion so continued "you must be staying at the town's motel, the guy who runs it is a total douchebag, he must be harassing you about the rent, you can consider this as a thank you for saving my ass today".
Hayley stood there thinking about whether she should take the money, but hey she did help him out of that mess, so she earned it, it was not a handout, so she approached him and took the money and was about to walk away, but before she can he spoke again stopping her "you know that motel is rather shitty, if you want we live in a very big house down in the middle of the French quarter you're welcome to stay there as long as you want" "I'll keep that in mind" she said turning to walk away.
However, this time she stopped herself, and she turned to face him once more "by the way, it's Hayley, Hayley Marshall" she said with a genuine smile, then the man finally removed his mask revealing some divine featured, Hayley was shocked by his attractiveness, but tried to keep it together "Nicklaus Mikaelson" he said as he painted a smirk on his cherry red lips.
