A/N Thank you all for reviewing!
"I can't look."
Liam turned around and hid his face in Kiara's neck as the sound of hissing as Klaus' fangs entered a young woman's neck hit his ears. He hummed to cut out the sound as Klaus savagely bit into the woman's neck and fed from her hungrily. Kiara patted the back of his head in comfort as she watched Klaus in fascination as he fed from the young woman, holding her close to him, growls of hunger ripping from his throat. They were standing in an alley way where Klaus had compelled a young woman to join them so that he could feed his hunger.
"It's horrible, isn't it?"
Kiara stroked her fingers through Liam's hair."It's not that bad."
"You're such a sadist."
"And you're such a chicken."
Liam whined when he heard a growl come from Klaus as he pulled away.
"I really needed that."Klaus sighed as pulled away from the woman, letting her drop to the ground at his feet."I've never been daggered. Never knew it was such an agonizing experience. It does help explain why my siblings loathe me as i'm sure you know."
Kiara and Liam said nothing as they watched Klaus wipe blood from his chin and pop his index finger into his mouth, licking off the blood. They still couldn't believe that this was happening, it's as if they were living a dream. Especially Liam. Despite being grossed out at the killing of the young woman he still stared at Klaus as if he were expecting to wake up from a dream.
"Let's go."
"W-Wait,"Liam said, pointing down at the body."What about her?"
Klaus shrugged, grinning."I'll leave Elijah to clear up my mess."
They just nodded and followed the Original hybrid out of the alley way and down the street. They watched as he walked with confidence, as if he feared nothing and he didn't. He knew that he was the most powerful being in the world. He was Klaus Mikaelson. He feared nothing.
But that wasn't true.
He didn't want to fear anything but he did. He feared losing his daughter, the most important person in the world to him. That was what nobody knew. He feared losing his daughter. He feared that she would grow up and call some other man dad, they knew that.
They were there for him.
They knew their mission now.
"Where are we going?"
Klaus smirked, his eyes darkening dangerously."To fetch my daughter, love. I'm going to tear off Jackson's head."
Kiara quickened her pace as she followed Klaus.
Liam trailed behind them, a child like grin on his face, punching the air.
He skipped behind them as he yelled out."This is so cool!"
Bayou
"Are you sure?"
Hayley nodded with a small smile."Yeah, Jack."
"Klaus is really daggered?"
Hayley nodded once again, saying."Yes, Elijah daggered him. We can leave now. But we have to be quick, Freya is still out there."
Jackson smiled as he packed his bags, shoving jumpers and trousers into a small bag. He wouldn't take that much, they could but some more stuff. He had no clue where they were going and he didn't care, all he cared about was getting Hope and Hayley out of New Orleans. The problem he had been worried about was gone, Klaus was finally gone and he was more than happy to know that. Hayley propped Hope on her hip as she watched Jackson grab stuff for Hope into another bag.
All was fine until Hope started to cry.
Again.
Hayley smiled over at her daughter, trying to calm her down.
"Shhh, baby girl, it's gonna be okay."
Jackson frowned, watching them."She's been crying all night and day, is she okay?"
"I'm sure she's just tired."
Jackson said nothing and led Hayley out of their home. Their wolves were waiting outside, crowded around just in case something happened. Hayley smiled at her pack, rocking back and forth to calm Hope down.
"We're heading North."
"How are we going to get there?"One of the wolves asked.
"Lukas, Lee and Mark are bringing around transport."
They all nodded and chatted amongst themselves, preparing to leave. Hayley and Jackson began to lead the pack through the forest, their wolves trailing behind them.
"Well, well, what do we have here?"
The wolves, Jackson and Hayley looked up at the voice to see Klaus standing there with a grin on his face. An angry one. Kiara and Liam stood behind him, a hesitant but entertained look on their faces. Liam looked like he could hardly contain his excitement. He had never liked Hayley or Jackson, especially Jackson and had wanted him to die since the moment he had come into the show.
Hayley's eyes widened in shock."Klaus."
"How is this possible?"Jackson asked.
"I have a lot of friends."Klaus simply answered, holding out his arms."Now, mate, who's first?"
Jackson started towards Klaus, his hybrid face coming forward. He let out a growl as he raised his hand to punch Klaus but the hybrid easily caught it and spun Jackson around, his back against Klaus' chest. He fought against Klaus, struggling against the stronger wolf as he tried to gain the upper hand.
"You shouldn't challenge those older than you, Jackson. You've come from a field mouse to a lapdog."
Hayley arched an eyebrow as she looked towards the two humans.
"Who are you?"
Liam pointed at Klaus."We're with him."
Kiara nodded."What he said."
"You won't be here for long. If you're on his side, you're against me, and that is something I don't recommend."Hayley passed her daughter to one of the wolves and flashed towards the two."Leave."
"Sorry, we can't do that. We kinda don't know how to get back."Kiara said.
"What? Leave!"
"Hey, we had to watch you get it on with Elijah, I think we got the sucky end of the deal here."Liam said, scrunching up his face at the memory of Hayley and Elijah."You owe us and watching your husband get his ass kicked is something worth watching."
Liam gestured to Klaus who had his arm up against Jackson's throat as he fought off other werewolves. Hayley turned to the two, an angry look in her eyes.
"If you don't leave i'll have to force you."
Kiara leaned over to her friend and whispered."Great, you've pissed off a hybrid."
Hayley let her hybrid features come forward and she moved to attack them and Kiara held out her arms to protect herself but, all of a sudden, Hayley was flying through the air. She landed on the ground next to her fallen wolves and let out a moan of pain. Kiara's eyes widened in shock and she looked down at her hands, which showed nothing abnormal. She gasped when she felt a shiver run through her. She looked over to see that Hayley was watching her with a shocked look, as if she didn't believe she had been beaten.
Liam turned to his friend, his eyes wide and a large smile on his face.
"That...was...awesome!"Liam hit his fist in his palm."Yes!"
Kiara let out a laugh.
"What was that?"
"I-I don't know."She shook her head, confused."I have no clue."
Liam looked at his own hands, turning them over and raising his eyebrows in confusion. It had been as if a force had protected his best friend, as if something was desperate to protect her. But nothing had happened when Klaus had attacked them earlier on but Liam guessed it was because they didn't know about them then.
"Maybe we were given powers or something to protect us?"
"Maybe."
"We just gotta learn how to use them."
Kiara nodded and opened her mouth to say something but was stopped when a wolf was thrown through the air and landed at her feet. The two looked up to see more wolves scattered around the ground, some alive and some wounded. Klaus was standing in the middle of them with his daughter in his arms. He had blood streaked on his face and had some wounds on his neck and body but they were healing. His angry expression instantly dropped when he looked down at his daughter, a smile pulling at his lips.
"It's all right, love."He whispered to his daughter, stroking her cheek."Daddy's here."
Kiara and Liam melted at the sight."Awwww."They said in unison, catching Klaus' attention.
Klaus' head snapped up and his eyebrows raised."What?"
Liam smiled."That moment is going to be made into so many gifs."
"What?"
Liam waved his hand, shaking his head."Doesn't matter. At least Klope is reunited."
Klaus looked at Kiara with an annoyed expression."Shut your friend up, love, or our deal is off."
"What deal?"
"You give me information and I don't kill you."Klaus simply said, holding his daughter to him happily."That's our deal."
"Oh."
Klaus just smiled at her, blue eyes laughing at her tone.
His smile dropped when Hayley, still on the ground next to a knocked out Jackson, looked up at him.
"Klaus,"Hayley started, tears forming in her eyes."Please don't take our baby."
"It was you who tried to take my child."Klaus hissed back at her, standing strong."It was my intention to do the same to you but, unlike you, I don't want to rob her of her family. She will be coming back home with me but once you have thought about what you have done, little wolf, you are welcome to see her. But your husband needs to get it through his thick canine skull that he has no place in her life."
"Yeah!"Liam shouted.
Klaus turned to him and simply demanded."Shut up."
Liam went quiet, but he still had a smirk on his face.
A tear slipped down Hayley's cheek as she watched him.
"She will always be our daughter, Hayley, but you have no place in my home."
With that, Klaus simply walked off with his daughter, Liam and Kiara following him.
"You two look busy."
Kiara and Liam, who had been looking around Klaus' study at his paintings, turned around at the sound of his voice. They both blushed at the unamused look on his face.
"Sorry, it's just different than on screen."
"No matter i'll be sure to look around your private place if you ever find your true home, love."Klaus grinned at her, shutting the door behind him and gesturing for them to sit on the couch."Please, sit."
They both sat down.
"How is Hope?"
Klaus smiled at the mention of his daughter."She is sleeping peacefully."
"So how is it?"
They both frowned in unison."Huh?"
"Being in my world."Klaus said, hands behind his back."Is it what you thought it would be?"
Liam smiled."It depends."
"On what?"
"If you're going to kill us or not."Liam said.
Klaus just rolled his eyes and looked at Kiara.
"You and your annoying friend gave my vital information that got my daughter back. If you hadn't undaggered me when you did I could have lost years of her life and she would have been stolen from me forever."Klaus said as he sat down at his desk, smiling softly.
"How am I annoying?"Liam raised an eyebrow."I'm adorable."
"You remind me of Kol."Klaus stated with a small fond smile at the mention of his brother."He never stopped talking too."
Liam couldn't help but smile at his words. He had always liked Kol so he wasn't upset about the comparison.
"Because of your actions I am indebted to you."Klaus licked his lips as he looked at them, and they could see that he was struggling with showing some emotion."You are in a city filled with wolves, witches and vampires, love, you and your friend need to be protected. You have proved useful to me and because of that you and your friend shall remain here."
"What about Elijah and Rebekah?"
"My brother and sister had a hand in daggering me and stealing my daughter so that is two people I do not trust right now."Klaus said with a sad look on his face before he smirked."You two are their replacement. You clearly have some sort of powers that will come in use."
Liam and Kiara shared a look before Kiara turned to the Original hybrid.
"W-We don't know how to use them."She said and Liam nodded in agreement."We have no clue."
"You'll learn."Klaus simply said, smirking.
The Original hybrid leaned back against his chair, hands meeting in front of him.
"I'll make sure of that. But, for now, you'll reside here."
