Hi everyone. Thank you guys so much for your comments. I'm glad that you like this fic. Now I know that some people are starting to think that Elijah(in the series) is becoming a hypocrite, and I hate that because I love him so much, so in this fic he will remain his noble self we all know and love and I will justify his action in some way. Tell me what you guys think. Hope you like it. Again feel free to tell me what you like or don't.

Elijah's POV:

I spent all last night up thinking about this upcoming war that we're about to embark, I spent my entire thousand years trying to redeem my brother only to find myself ready to unleash his demons if it meant keeping my little niece safe, as I was ready to experience the power of my own demons, I was going to do everything in my power in order to get her back home. I stopped by Hayley's room last night and saw her sleeping in Nicklaus's arms; I can't say I was surprised, I knew that no one, not even me, can be more fit to be by her side at that time more than him, they were going through the same pain, experiencing the same emotions, feeling the same rage, and I knew that at that point he could understand her more than I; probably because I never had to give away my own child; though I always wanted a family of my own, vampirism took that privilege away, just like it did to my little sister, I guess she was right, we are the true definition of cursed.

Hayley walked in to the kitchen and saw me sitting there drinking a blood bag, "you're up early!" I was surprised she managed to wake up this early after 2 sleepless nights. "The faster we get this war over with, the faster I get to hold my child again" she said so blankly "Hayley, about this war, I know you're mad and it's even worse than usual because all your emotions are now heightened, even more than it already was; I just don't want you to do anything you might regret" I knew that Hayley, just like Nicklaus, had her demons to struggle with, I was trying to help her control them and it seemed to have worked, up until now "regret?" she chuckled, as if it's the first time she hears such a word "you must have me confused with someone with remorse" she said, staring at me with dark eyes, as if she was fixated on killing every breathing soul, "this is what I feared. Hayley, not everybody is your enemy" and before she was able to reply another voice interrupted "there is just no expiration to you nobility, is there brother?" I turned around to see Nicklaus standing by the door, listening to us; he had a wide smirk on his face, "it's not a matter of nobility, brother; it's a matter of principal" "what principal, brother? This our daughter we're talking about, how long would you wish for her to be away from us?" he said approaching me with every ounce of anger he could express, "that's not what I meant Nicklaus, all I'm trying to say is try to keep the body count to minimum" he opened his mouth ready to say something, but Hayley beat him to it, "I don't care if I have to rip this town apart, until it rains blood in order to get my daughter back in my arms, I will do it" I immediately realized that I was losing this battle, I knew that it's already too late, they gave into their worst demons, I just feared that they will not be able to separate the friend from the enemy, "Hayley, we are trying to fix our mess, not make an even bigger one; when it will come to our enemies I will personally help you eliminate them in the worst way possible, but not everyone is going to be our enemy" "we are ahead of you, brother; we're already working on gathering up our allies, but even then we must remain careful at all times" "what do you mean? What allies?" I asked so curiously, I really wanted to know who they decided to associate with, and Hayley answered me right away "I'm going to the Bayou to see the wolves; I'll persuade them into taking our side" "I'm afraid Francesca won't be making it easy on you Hayley, especially now that…" I looked away, not able to finish my sentence, I knew that she never intended on becoming a hybrid, "now that I'm a hybrid?" she said with tears about to come down of her eyes, but she quickly managed to turn it into a wicked glare "Don't worry about her Elijah, I highly doubt she's be able to speak with my heal down her throat" she said so coldly, after all the time I spent trying to redeem her, save her from her demons, help her control them, just when I thought I was finally able to get to her, I found myself right where I began, no, it was even worse, she was even more broken than Nicklaus, I knew that her anger was justified, but I feared the consequences her actions will have once this war is over. "Hayley, no; there are other ways to do this" and by that sentence I managed to let her demons show "no Elijah, we've already tried it your way; it's your stupid treaties that got us in this mess in the first place" she looked at me with anger in her eyes, anger that I've never seen before. "What is that supposed to mean?" "It was only after that we sighed that treaty, that everything started falling apart; maybe you should have never interfered and just let Klaus rule" "he would have killed them" "exactly, then none of them would have ever even dared to make a move against us" "Hayley I understand" "no Elijah you don't, for the first time you don't, it wasn't your daughter that's been taken away from you, it was mine, it wasn't you who lost your identity, it was me. I know how much you're obsessed with redeeming everyone from around you, and I must admit I kind of like it for a while, having someone to care for me in exchange. But if my salvation means me losing my daughter, then I don't want it." "Hayley…" I tried to call her but she was already gone "let her go brother, right now we need our demons more than we ever did" "I'm not against your demons, just as long as you direct them to the right people" "I will" "I'm not so sure that Hayley agrees" "Elijah, whatever she is feeling now it's 10 times more heightened than it already was, she not only had to give up her child, sentencing her to suffer from the same fate as she did, she also lost the one thing that defined her, her identity, this is not going to be easy on her" "I just don't want her to regret anything she might do, because of her anger, I had to watch you suffer for years, I don't want to see her suffer like you did" "I promise you she won't, I'll make sure of it" and with those words he disappeared as well.
