I don't own TVD or TO. Hope you like this, review and tell me what you think!

I had never been more scared in my entire life. Dread coursed through my veins, I could feel my heart as it tried to burst out of my chest. I remember the anger in his face, and how ruthless he was as he spoke those words that signed my death sentence.

After Klaus fled with Elijah in pursuit, I felt the hope fading away. My knees began to shake and I felt a lump forming in my throat. My eyes welled up as I tried to stay emotionless, hold it in as I had all my life, but I couldn't.

Tears trickled down my cheeks, as sobs wracked through my body uncontrollably. He didn't care. That monster didn't even care for his own child. I though it was an act, but now I know he is just a heartless, soulless, self absorbed monster.

I slid to the ground and wrapped my arms tightly around my knees, trying to hold myself together and failing. His last words were bouncing around my skull. I was surprised when warm arms grasped my shoulders, and a comforting voice whispered in my ear, "Sshhh, its okay Hayley. Calm down, sweetheart." I turned to face Sophie as she continued. "We had to look strong in front of Klaus, not give in. I promise we're not going to hurt you, we want to help you."

Sophies confession was a huge relief. I felt a glimmer of hope, I wasn't going to die, at least not at the hands of the witches. But my heart was still stinging. I was still upset at Klaus' rejection of his child and me. I thought I could make him feel something, make him change. He acted so gentle and caring, but that was all it was, an act. He used me just like he uses everyone else.

I was exhausted, all I wanted to do was sleep. My eyelids began to droop. Sophie must have seen this, as she gave me one last squeezw, got up and removed some blankets from a shelf. She handed them to me saying, "I promise no harm will come to you or this baby. Now get some rest, everything will work ou, I can feel it." I smiled at her and whispered my thanks.

Just as I was drifting off to sleep, I heard Sophie muttering to herself "Klaus will change his mind." I wasn't sure I could agree with her.

I woke up to the sound of whispering. It was just after dawn, I could tell from the light streaming into the cave. I heard two people conversing quietly, it sounded tense. I listened carefully trying to figure out the other voice.

I recognised the polite, English accent almost immediately. It was Elijah. What was he doing here? Why wasn't Klaus with him?

I tried to sit up quietly, but they heard me. Elijah turned to Sophie, raising an eyebrow as if to ask 'May I'. Sophie nodded her approval. Elijah walked slowly toward me, as if trying not to scare me off.

He knelt down beside me and looked me in the eye. "Hayley, I am so sorry about what happened last night. Klaus didn't mean what he said, he was in shock, we all were. I mean we didn't know this could happen, its unheard of, it's a miracle. Please forgive our behaviour and hear what I have to offer."

His apology was so sincere it took me by surprise. "Of c-c-course I accept your apology. What is your offer?" I stuttered was wrong with me, I couldn't even get a sentence out. I folded my arms across my chest, and tried to look in control.

"We the Mikaelson family, would like to invite you to come and live with us in New Orleans. We will protect you and this baby from any danger. We will provide you with anything you need, food, clothing, a home."

I was beyond shocked, I listened wide eyed as Elijah continued. This off was beyond my wildest dreams.

"Klaus wanted to come and make amends himself, but he had to meet with Marcel. He promised me he would help, that he would take care of you and his child. So, what do you say?"

That last part made me blush, I don't know why. I was embarrassed as the red flooded my cheeks. It was an amazing offer, of course I had to accept it.

"Thank you Elijah for everything, you truly are a gentleman. I accept your offer, I see no problem with me coming to live with you."

Elijahs face broke into a smile. He placed a hand on my shoulde and gave it a squeeze. "Thank you Hayley for this amazing gift. I'll be back for you in a couple of hours, I have to organize a few things", he said as he started toward the door.

He gave Sophie a smile of thanks and then he was gone. She came towards me, and pulled me into a hug. I hugged her back tightly, feeling the relief wash through me. "Thank you for everything Sophie."

"I told you it would work out, didn't I?" she replied happily. She was right, everything was going to be okay, Klaus had changed his mind. My heart no longer hurt, I was wanted.
