To say the mansion was incredible was an understatement. Never in my life had I seen grass so green or a house as tall. A thigh high, stone fence surrounded the perimeter of the house where it ended, there was a small gate. Once we'd walked through the gate, I could see more of the extravagant house. A small pond wrapped around a weeping willow, which branches dipped lightly into the water's surface. Flowers covered the grass and several vines and rose bushes lined the house's exterior. I loved it! I had never stayed in a place for so long that I could buy it. This mansion was even better than the one the Michelson's had in Mystic Falls.

It had been 2 months since I had moved in to the mansion. My room was as great as the rest of the mansion. The cupboard was filled with clothes of different colours and materials with a fair share of black leather jackets, black heels and skinny jeans. They were the perfect size though some were bigger for when I got bigger. Nick. He was the only one who could have got me all this. he always knew my size when we were humans. I was getting bigger now and eating more now as well. Elijah was good company and Nick didn't bother me- he hardly ever talked to me. Sophie came round at times to give me a check up on the baby. Nick was still trying to get himself into Marcel's inner circle.

Today as I walked down the stairs I heard Elijahs usual 'good morning' but my witchy powers told me that today was going to be different. To add to my suspicion Nick was actually home. He was hardly ever at home. He normally chose to spend all of his time at Sophie's bar. Before I got to the bottom stair the door lunged open. Standing there was a girl about a year younger than me with beautiful blonde hair-Rebekah! The female Michelson sibling also my sister in law. I was going to give her a hug when I remembered that she didn't know who I was.

"Who the hell are you?" I said trying to act in character.

"You must be the maid; my bags are in the car. get them will you."

"No not the maid."

"Right you're that werewolf Klaus knocked up, I was expecting to see some supernatural miracle baby bump guess you're not showing yet. Its Hayley isn't it?"

"You've got your brothers manners"

"And his temper too, so watch it"

"Klaus get out here and tell me what going on you narcissistic backstabbing wanker." I had to bite my tongue to stop myself from laughing.

"Enough with all the shouting" Klaus says as he comes into the living room followed by Elijah. "ahh sister what an entirely unwelcomed surprise."

"And what an entirely unsurprising welcome. Now tell me what going on right this minute."

"Calm Rebekah. Let me explain." I couldn't be bothered to listen to the story so I decided to go back upstairs without my breakfast. Oh well. That's when I saw the trapdoor. It was to the left of the door and right of the bathroom. I had nothing better to do so I decided to see what was down there.

The coffins. Klaus kept his coffins on standby for when his siblings disappointed him! How could he? What type of brother was he? He had changed so much. I walked past each coffin. The name of the michaelson sibling ontop of each. Elijah, Rebekah….Kol.

Kol… I had almost forgotton about him during my stay ith his brothers. But know he came back to me. His coffin lay there but not him. He was dead…. Fury rushed through me. Anger- not just at Klaus for having the guts to dagger Kol, i could never stay angry at my husband, but at me for forgetting Kol and at him for him breaking his promise… Always and forever he had promised never to leave me but he had. He had gone and let himself be killed by a stupid doppelganger vampire. She was hardly 18 but she had had the nerve to kill him, stake him… I would get revenge… soon.

But right now I needed air. After being cooped up in this house for 2 months I was getting unruly for the woods. It's where I belonged. I was a hunter and what is a hunter without their place of domination- the woods. I climbed up the stairs and into my room. Put on my leather jacket then hurried out the door being careful not to make a sound. I remembered my first kill as a hunter. Kol had taught me and I was now ready to kill. I remember his voice.

Go on you can do it. And with that in my mind I had done it- I had killed a deer. I remember the look of pride on Kol's face. We brought the deer home and it was enough for both families for a good two weeks.

Then I remembered Klaus. Klaus. He had seen Kol die and had done nothing . I didn't want to be near him anymore. As I strolled along beside the trees I saw the plant I had been looking for. The wolfs bane plant. I picked a couple of roots tucked them into my jacket pocket and headed out into the city. I sat on a bench and took out a root of wolfs bane.

Do it. I told myself. One upset tummy and all this would be over. But I couldn't… this baby was a miracle. It was a thing I would not get back…ever. As I place the root back into my pocket and begin making my way back I find myself surrounded by vampires they lung at me. I could easily kill a couple of 100 year old newbie vamps and am about to when Rebekah turns up and kills them one by one.

"Now that's not the way to treat a pregnant lady is it?" She asks the dead bodies. I give her a smile before we head home.

Just as I enter the living room I feel myself pinned against the wall, defenceless. Im being strangled by Klaus.

"How dare you leave this house with ought my permission. Did I not warn you?" the truth is no he didn't warn me he had hardly talked to me. "why an earth were you in the bloody French quarter in the first place Hayley?"I had had enough of him. Treating me like a piece in his games. i was his wife for hells sake. but he didn know that.

"you want to know what I was doing?"I was getting warning looks from both Elijah and Rebekah but didn't care. "I WAS GETTING POISON TO KILL MY GO DAMN BABY!" I shouted. I didn't mean 'god-damn baby' but it just came out.

His grip on my neck was getting stronger and I am about to use my witchy powers to make him let go of me when Elijah pulls him of off me. I run up the stairs letting him deal with his brother. I begin crying as soon as my head touches the pillow. Crying… I hadn't cried since my brother's death a 1000 years ago. Kol had taught me that it was a sign of weakness. But now I just let all of it out. I was crying because Kol was dead, crying because I didn't know what I had got myself into and crying because I pitied the life of my child when he or she was born to such a pathetic excuse of a man they would have for a father. he had changed so much that i hardly recognized him to be my husband.

But then a thought popped up in my head he was angry because I had wanted to get rid of our baby… meaning that he didn't want to lose our child…he cared. With that thought in my mind I fell asleep.

The next morning I could feel his presence in my room-Nick. He headed to my jacket and picked up the roots of wolfs bane and smelt it confirming that it was what he though it was.

"I didn't use it"

"Your awake"

"Barely sleep all night- this house is like freaking swamp sauna" I lied, temperature didn't affect me.

"What stopped you?" I knew what he was talking about. "you would've been free of all of this… of me" oh nick! were bind by the spirits remember. i could never be rid of you and i never would want it! but he didnt know that.

"Yeah well when I was fighting of those vampires I realized I wasn't just protecting myself. Maybe it has to do with the fact that my birth parents gave me up and my adoptive parents kicked me out. All I know is push came to shove and I realized I wouldn't let anyone hurt it."

"I'm beginning to think we're a lot alike you and I- were both cast offs who have learnt to fight when were backed into a corner"

"Well were backed into a corner now"

"Ah that we are…it's time to fight little wolf"

"This whole thing with marcel, the deal you have with the witches -take him down, take what's his Rebekah told me that you loved each other like family what happened?" I said not expecting an answer but still curious.

"I made marcel everything that he is. I treated him like a son. And when my father chased me and my family from New Orleans a 100 years ago, we believed marcel was killed. we each mourned him…in our own way." Yours was probably killing a load of innocent humans, I thought to myself. "Yet when I returned not only had he survived, instead of seeking us out, instead of sticking together as one he made a choice- to take everything my family had built and make it his own. Now he is living in our home, he is sleeping in our beds. That M he stamps everywhere is not for marcel it's for Michaelson. I want it all back, and if I have to push him out to get it. Then it's exactly what I'll do." I nodded, understanding. "I'll have someone see to the air conditioning." He then struts out.

This man was so complicated to understand…completely the opposite of Kol- Kol was simple and easy going. .. this man was completely the opposite of Nick. but then i remembered that they were the same person. I was going to figure him out…one way or another... and i was going to find my husband.

A/N- Ok so still following the show a bit but hopefully you will see changes soon. I didn't want to dagger Elijah and I didn't want Hayley to find the daggers for a reason. I am a Klayley fan but I don't like to rush things so you're going to have to wait for that.
