I gazed out the window, watching buildings fly by and people bustling about. How normal their lives looked. I traced the rain droplets along the window with my finger, watching them create their path and wondering what kind of path my life was now taking. All my life I never had a clear path. I was always moving around, finding new packs. I would stay for a while, but it never felt right so I always ended up leaving. I was restless, I was always looking for more. Looking for my real family.

Now my life seems to be mapped out by the Mikaelsons, I never would have thought I'd be trusting vampires. But I guess I've got to just go with things, just hold on and try to survive the ride.

Elijah came for me as he promised. At least I know I can trust him. He explained everything to me, he told me that they had bought a house on the outskirts of the city. It had everything I would need there, they had even stocked a wardrobe for me. He said it was one of the safest places in New Orleans, no one even knew that we were living there.

For now it would just be me, Klaus and Elijah living there, but their sister Rebekah might be coming to join us soon. I didn't really know how to feel about this, I just hoped it wouldn't become awkward.

I was interrupted from my daydreaming by Elijah announcing our arrival. "This is it, I hope you like it." By the time I had turned away from him, he was at the door, offering me his hand. I took it gratefully. He quickly whisked me through the iron gates, into a breathtakingly beautiful garden.

I stared open-mouthed at the mansion before me. It was stunning. I instinctively took a step forward, as if the house were calling me to it.

"So what do you think?" His voice made me jump I'd forgotten I wasn't alone.

"Its incredible, how did you even get this?" I replied. "Lets just say we Originals tend to get what we want." I shivered wondering what happened to the previous owners.

"Well come on, you haven't even seen the best parts yet," Elijah stated with a wink.

The inside was just as gorgeous as the outside. It was spacious with warm colours and luxurious furnishings. White carpet ran through the entire house. There was a beautiful oak staircase leading upstairs.

My bedroom was beyond words. With a king sized bed, a walk in wardrobe and an enormous bathroom, it had everything a girl wanted.

Elijah always the gentleman, showed me my room and then left me to settle in. I wandered around the upper floor, trying to get familiar with my surroundings. There were five bedrooms, a bathroom, a cinema and a lounge on this floor alone.

Along the halls were paintings, all priceless originals I'm sure. My favourite one was hanging next to my bedroom. It wasn't by some famous artist though, it was the one Klaus had shown me the night we were together. This painting brought all the memories of that night back.

Thinking about Klaus confused me. My emotions were all jumbled up when it came to him. I felt happy thinking about him, but angry too. Part of me longed to see him and another part never wanted to see him again. As I said, it was confusing.

All the wandering around had made me hungry. I seemed to be a lot hungrier lately, this was to do with the pregnancy I guessed. I walked down the stairs and then stopped. I just realised I didn't have a clue where the kitchen was, this place was so big.

"Emm Elijah" I called. "Yes, is there something wrong Hayley?" he said standing in front of me. He seemed to appear out of nowhere.

"No nothings wrong. I was just wondering where the kitchen was," I mumbled embarrassed. It sounded ridiculous. "I am eating for two now."

Elijah let out a laugh, "Yes, im sure your starving. Follow me, its right this way." I smiled at him gratefully.

After rummaging through the fridge, I managed to cook myself a decent dinner. I offered some to Elijah, but he was happier with a blood bag. I tried to push the thoughts of drinking blood out of my head while I was eating, as the idea repulsed me.

"I'm sure your wondering when Klaus will be here," Elijah said as he sat down beside me. "I haven't thought about that really," I lied. Its practically been the only thing on my mind, since we arrived. I wondered if he would feel guilty and apologise, if he would finally show that he cared.

"I'm sure you haven't given it any thought," he replied jokingly. He turned his head, "Well here he comes." I dint know what he was talking about. Then I heard it, the front door opening and closing.

All of a sudden there he was, standing in front of me, with a snaky look on his face. "I see you have made yourself comfortable, how are you little wolf?" he asked sarcastically. "Any of our witch friends here, or is it just us?" I didn't reply.

"Just us, how cosy." I was shocked into silence. I had expected compassion not sarcasm.

"Klaus, I think you owe the girl an apology," Elijah hissed, glaring at his brother.

"For what? Disrupting my life and plans with her ignorance. I think I'm the one who needs an apology."

I could feel my eyes beginning to prick, as my heart dropped. This is not what I had been expecting, I thought he could change. Clearly I was wrong.

Then suddenly all I could feel was red hot fury. How could he be blaming me, it was just as much his fault as mine. Didn't he realise that my life had been turned upside down too.

I launched myself at him in rage. He wasn't expecting this. I heard a snap before Klaus let out a howl of pain. Elijah pulled me off him, as we continued to scream horrible things at each other.

Elijah pushed me swiftly behind his back, as Klaus stalked forward while gripping his shoulder. His face was twisted in pain, but his eyes were dark and menacing.

"Klaus, calm down and think about this. Be reasonable." This stopped him. He pulled hard on his shoulder and there was another crack, the sound made me wince. Klaus looked up and growled through gritted teeth, "how dare she, I give her a home and this is how she acts!"

"You deserved it after what you said, you seem to have already forgotten your promise, brother." Klaus thought about this, still not taking his eyes off me.

"You need to change your ways, brother, For the sake of your child." Klaus straightened up, these words must have affected him as it seemed he had calmed down.

The burst of energy I had felt was gone and I realised I was trembling. I felt weak. Klaus and Elijah must have realised this too. "Hayley, are you okay?" Elijah asked in concern, while wrapping an arm tightly around my shoulder, for support.

I took a few deep breaths to steady myself before answering, "Yes. I'm Fine now." I glanced at Klaus. The anger had left his eyes, something else had replaced, was it guilt?

He took a step forward, but I put my hand up to stop him. "Hayley, I'm sor-" he started. I had no time for fake apologies. "Save it Klaus. I'm exhausted, I think I'll just head to bed." Klaus looked upset briefly, before his face turned back into its usual hard mask. "Of course, see you in the morning," Elijah said before releasing me.

I could hear them bickering quietly as I walked up the stairs, but I didn't have the energy to stay and listen, or even care. I had a feeling I knew what it was about anyway.

I changed into the first pjs I could find and climbed into the huge bed. I was too drained to even cry, now that I was alone. So I decided to just fall asleep and deal with my emotions in the morning.
