Synopsis
Elijah is having hard time accepting Klaus and Hayley being together. Jackson tries to bridge Hayley and his relationship. Klaus discovers that it is not just Mikael who is back.
Elijah accuses Klaus of taking Hayley away from him
Last night revelation was big for Elijah. Elijah is unable to term to terms with what he is seeing with his own eye- a tension between his brother and Hayley that can develop into something. He is pacing his room up and down. He picks up his cell and calls Rebekah. It is good to hear her voice.
On hearing Elijah's voice Rebekah becomes really happy. She has been having a rough time for a couple of days now because of Hope but she doesn't want to tell Klaus and Hayley because she does not want them to worry. "Hello Elijah, how are you? I wasn't expecting a call from you especially at this time" then as an afterthought she asks him worriedly "is everything okay?"
Elijah can hear worry in her voice so he calms her down "Everything is okay. Cant I call my sister to just talk to her?"
"How is hope doing? Rebekah you have a very important job to do and we all especially Hayley and Klaus appreciate for what you are doing for Hope and them".
"How is Nik taking it?" Rebekah asks him
"He and Hayley are both taking it hard and they are not letting anyone help them" Elijah says to her frustrated
Rebekah has never heard his brother sounded so frustrated- not even when he had lost all hopes for Klaus's redemption. She keeps quiet for a second and then says "May be they can help each other. They both had to give their daughter away right?"
Elijah stares at the wall for a second and then says "I think you are right"
Rebekah is surprised to hear that because she knows how her brother feels for Hayley. Before Elijah can say anything he hears a baby crying in the back ground "Elijah I have to go, Hope is up again. She has been in a really bad mood since morning and I have realized it is best not to reach a point where she becomes inconsolable. I will talk later then. Bye"
Elijah stares at the silence on the other end of the phone for a while then he tries to relax but he cannot so he leaves the compound.
It is almost morning when he comes back. Klaus is sitting in the sitting room reading something. This is the first time he is doing something calming. He looks up when Elijah enters "O wow brother didn't know you were all night type of guy" he smiles "does Hayley know about your night time excursions?"
Elijah snaps at him "It is not your and hers business what I do or not do"
Klaus laughs because he thinks his brother is embarrassed. "It is okay brother, I think she can understand. You should tell her your needs so that she …"
Before he completes his sentence Elijah is holding him from his throat "One more word about Hayley and me Niklaus I swear…"
Klaus pushes him away "What wrong with you? I was only joking. Have you lost your remaining sense of humor?" He massages his throat
"As if you don't know" Elijah looks at him with accusation
"Now what have I done?" he asks
"Getting out of her room early in the morning, consoling her, giving her your blood, her sleeping in your room… where should I stop? You knew how much she means to me and still you crossed that line" Elijah says angrily
Klaus is just looking at him in disbelieve and without saying a single word he puts the book down and before Elijah can say anything he is gone from there.
Klaus discovers something new
Klaus is just confused and shocked at what Elijah has said. He does not know how to react to it. He never intends to come between Hayley and Elijah. He knows how he feels towards him. He had made a pact with himself that he will never put himself and Elijah in the same situation as they were with Tatia. Even if he develops feeling for Hayley… he stops and thinks even if…- he will not act on them. That was the pact and he will fulfil it. He gets out of the room. Hayley was coming out from her room. He walks past him without saying anything to her.
Klaus walks out angrily. He does not know what to do? He is surprised at Elijah's accusations. He has not tried to do anything with Hayley or crossed a line. He clears his head. There are other important matters to think of. He forces himself to think about Hope and as soon as he thinks of her all other thoughts go away from his mind. He looks up and sees that he is standing in front of the church. He enters the church. He feels very weird. The last time when he was in the church he had seen his daughter born and Hayley die. He shakes the thought of Hayley from his mind. He walks up to the altar and sits down. He feels really strange. He looks up and see the attic. He starts to climb the stairs and reach the attic. He opens the door. The door opens with a creak sound. He tries to get in but the boundary spell has been put on. He is surprised at who would put a boundary spell in here. He feels something creeping his back. He scans the room again and a feeling of terror fills him but the room is empty so he walks down. He goes down and sits on the stairs again thinking what to do
"I can help you look for what you are looking" He cannot believe what he is hearing. He looks up and see Kol standing there. He is so shocked that he does not move for a whole minute. He knows that he is not dreaming when he sees Kol is walking towards him and he sits next to him on the stairs. He turns towards him slowly "so you managed to escape the other side when it collapsed".
Kol smiles "is that all you have to say to me brother?"
"This is enough for right now isn't it?" Klaus smiles. He is recovering from his initial shock
"Nik it is not just me who managed to escape. Dear daddy and suicidal Finn have also managed to escape too. I know our father is back because I saw him coming back but I cannot locate Finn" kol tells him
"Fantastic. That is all we need right now. I know about Mikael. He was brought back by an idiot witch Davina and he has stolen my white oak stake" Klaus tells him
"Okay good at least we don't have to worry about you daggering us then" Kol says jokingly
Klaus looks at him. He is really tired with everything that is going on and he is rarely tired. When he does not answer Kol looks at his brother in surprise "what no answer? What have you done to my brother?" he tries to joke around again but is unsuccessful
"What are you doing here Klaus?" they both hear someone talking to them from the door of the church. It is Cami. She has come to pray for her uncle. Klaus gets up and start to leave. Kol follows him. "Where are we going?"
"I have just figured out what to do? You want to come?"
They both go to the adoption agency office. Klaus compels them to give them documents pertaining to Gurerra wolves.
He turns to Kol "I don't think that you should come forward right now. If you are right that Finn is back then we need to play our game wisely too. You keep hiding until it is time to come out" he is about to turn "it is good to see you brother" he hugs Kol before Kol can say anything.
Klaus is being cruel to Hayley and Jackson and Hayley try to patch up their distance
She looks at him in surprise. "Klaus…" she calls him but he does not stop. She goes to Elijah who is in the sitting room "what happened to Klaus?" He turns and she is surprised to see him drinking so early in the morning "I wanted to talk to him about something but he didn't listen to me and left" Elijah puts his glass down, rubs the back of his neck and asks "what do you want to talk to him about?"
"I was thinking maybe I should talk to Jackson and try to resolve our hybrid and werewolf issue" she says to him.
"Do you think you can discuss this issue with him?" he asks tiredly
"No, I don't think so. I don't know what to say to him. Being a werewolf was the only thing that was consistent in my life for the past 10 years and now I don't know what am I so no I am not sure but I have to talk to him if he is going to help us" she says desperately
Elijah looks at her absentmindedly thinking 'was he being rough on his brother?'
"Sure let us go" Elijah says to her
"I was thinking maybe we should ask Jackson to come in here and talk to us instead of my going to the bayou and unnecessary start a riot or something" she says.
Elijah calls Jackson. Jackson says he will come to the compound in a couple of hours. Hayley is feeling hungry. She goes to kitchen and picks up an apple to eat. She comes back and sits in the sitting room and picks up the book which Klaus had left on the sofa. She ideally starts to read the book and soon before she knows it she is absorbed into it. This is where Elijah finds her – reading the book that Klaus had left behind. He gets a jab of hostility towards him. He comes and sits down next to her. She looks at him and smiles. They are both sitting silently, Hayley reading the book and Elijah reading some documents when they hear a cough from the direction of the door. They look over and see that Jackson is standing there. Hayley gets up consciously and steps forward to hug Jackson but he raises his hands. She is hurt but she steps back. She sits down on the sofa next to Elijah
"How are you doing Jackson?" she asks him gingerly
"I am fine, how are you Hayley?" he asks her
"I am good. Things are moving on. I thought that the world will stop without her but it didn't. Everything is same" she says.
Jackson looks at her with pity in his eyes. Elijah looks at his shoes. He knows how difficult must be for Hayley to utter these words for her daughter but they have to keep up the façade.
"Klaus told us that you are willing to work with us to take the Gurerra's down so I just thought that it will be a good idea to break the ice before we start to work together" Hayley says
"Yes I am willing to work with you guys because I believe that only people who can take Gurerra's out are the Originals. Who better to side with then two hybrids and one immortal vampire in the fight against the worst enemy of your lives?" Jackson says
"Jackson I am still…" Hayley starts
"No Hayley you are not… you are not one of us. You are not a werewolf now. You are not a crescent werewolf now" he says sadly
Hayley gets up angrily "you cannot take that away from me. I am a royalty. My parents were crescent wolves and I will always be their daughter"
"Hayley I understand your feelings but you don't understand werewolves and vampires are mortal enemies and you know that. Our pack will never accept you. They will never trust you. We can develop a working relationship and may be with the passage of time we can rebuilt that trust but right now they will not accept you. They might be willing to help you because we all need you and you need us so from mutual benefit we can achieve a unified goal". Jackson says
Hayley looks at him sadly. She knows what he is saying is right. She tries to hold his hands but he moves back. She is broken by that action. He looks at her and throws caution on one side and he holds her hand.
"Hayley everything will be okay. Don't worry whether you are a hybrid or a werewolf you are who you always have been, a brave independent girl who knows how to survive" he smiles.
She looks at him with weepy smile "does that mean that the engagement is off?" she asks jokingly.
At that Jackson let go of her hands and look at Elijah and her sadly "Engagement I think was off even before all of this happened."
He gets up "I should be going now" He leaves the room.
Klaus gets home and goes straight to his room. Elijah does not talk to him. Hayley is looking outside the window so she does not notice his return. Hayley had a difficult night. She is again agitated. She goes to the kitchen and takes out a bag of blood and wants to drink it but she does not. She puts it back and goes to her room again. She then walks to nursery and sits in the chair holding the wolf in her hand. She goes to sleep while holding the wolf. She gets up with this cramp in her neck. She stands up stretches her neck and goes to change her clothes. She goes to the kitchen and makes a coffee for herself. Then as an afterthought she makes it for everyone. She hears speaking voices coming from sitting room. She goes there and puts the coffee mugs on the table. Klaus and Elijah are working on some papers. Elijah looks up at her face. She sits down next to Klaus without realizing it. Klaus is looking at the papers. Elijah picks up the coffee and start to drink it. Hayley leans forward a little bit to look at what they are seeing and realizes that these are documents from the adoption agency.
Klaus says "so far we know that Francesca's grandfather gave her up for adoption because of the killing spree that Marcel has done in 60's. He gave her to the adoption agency when she was a baby. From where she was given up for adoption to a normal human family"
He gets up and walks to the window "so somehow she discovers her true lineage and keeps a tight lid on it until the right moment. That means" he turns and looks at both of them "there was someone in her life to tell her about her true parentage, a surviving Guerra wolf who had not triggered his or her gene"
Elijah gets up and says "makes sense"
Klaus says "we have to figure out how to get those rings from them. We have to figure out what will happen if they lose the ring. Do the rings work like Daylight rings? If the magic connection is broken will they become regular werewolves?"
Hayley says "Oliver has a ring right? What if we get the ring from Oliver?"
Klaus says "Jackson told me that Oliver had offered him the ring but he refused. May be we should ask Jackson to change his mind" he smiles at his brother mischievously
Elijah likes his plan and agree with it. Klaus leaves the room without saying a word. After he is gone Hayley notices that he has not taken his coffee.
Next morning after Hayley gets up dressed and going down she goes to Klaus's room. She knocks. When he does not answer she peeks inside. He is standing there painting something. She walks in and clears her throat. He looks over her shoulder "what is it Hayley? I am busy"
"What is wrong with you? Why are you acting this way?" Hayley is confused "have I done something?"
"No Hayley you have not. Tell me what it is or please leave. I don't like to be interrupted when I am painting" He is agitated and tells her that
Hayley looks at him angrily "I came here to ask you about Hope but you seem busy so go to hell"
She walks out leaving him angrier than before.
Hayley walks into the sitting room where Elijah is sitting reading the adoption agency papers. He looks up and is surprised to see that she is angry. He asks her "what is wrong?" but Hayley does not tell him.
Klaus and Kol figure out where Finn is
Klaus is unable to do more painting so he leaves the compound. He wants to meet Kol but he does not know how to get in touch with him. He goes to the church again. He sits there on the stairs hoping for him to show up. He sits there for about half an hour. He whispers in desperation "Damn it Kol where are you?"
He looks up after a couple of seconds and sees him walking towards him. Kol sits on the seats. He looks at Klaus "so I have been thinking why Finn would want to escape the other side? He always wanted to die right? Why would he want to come back?"
As if a light bulb switched on in his head "it is mother who brought him back. It has to. She is a New Orleans witch now. She has the power to do that. Genevieve said that she was the one pulling the strings. She is the one who wants to kill Hope – my daughter" he looks at Kol "that means that she is back too but how and where?" he gets up and start to pace the aisles of the church.
Kol looks at his brother thinking "if mother is back then she must have brought Finn back. You have buried her body so that means that she is in someone else's body- a witch's body. Has anyone recently been brought back from death recently?"
Klaus smiles and looks at his brother "yes a witch has just come back from death. I bet mother is riding her. That means Joshua is Finn"
"Okay it is time for you to come forward now" he looks at Kol. "If our whole family is back then it is about time for you to be back in the compound. Come, let us surprise Elijah. May be that will cheer him up" Kol looks at him in confusion "don't worry you will understand when you see him"
"Nik I am sorry about what happened to your daughter" Kol says to him
"I will get her back, we will get her back don't worry" Klaus smiles falters. He tries to hide it but Kol sees how broken his brother is.
Elijah and Hayley meet someone from their past
Hayley is pacing in her room. She is still confused about what has happened between her and Klaus. They have been making progress in their relationship but now he is again back to being cruel and moody. She remembers her hurt when Klaus first time told the witches to kill her and the baby. She had no idea what she was expecting but not that. Since then Klaus has changed a lot. He had started to show concern for the baby, for her. Now Hope is gone and Klaus is being back to his own old self again. Was it just Hope he was interested in? Was he only being nice to me because of Hope? Now she is not here so he has stopped being nice to me. I was so counting on him to help me get through all this but it seems that it will not happen. All thought are racing through her mind. She lays down in her bed trying to go to sleep. She knows that he is not home yet. She cannot sleep so she goes down and sits in the sitting room picking up the book that she was reading when she hears someone coming it. It is Elijah who has seen her come in. HE comes in. He knows something is bothering her. He wants to reach out to her but he knows that she is shutting him out. He sits down with his mother's spell book. Hayley looks at him
"What are you looking in the grimoire?"
Elijah looks at her thinking "I am trying to see if there is any spell than can unlink Klaus from the spell that Genevieve has used to bind him with the moonlight rings"
"I don't think you will find that in it, Genevieve was an evil bitch. That spell is her own concoction." Hayley says "what about the unlinking spell that Davina did to unlink me and Sophie"
Elijah gets up and puts the grimoire down "that can work but we don't have witch to perform the spell"
He picks the book again "we need to find a witch to do the spell" he is going through the book to find that spell again
"Good work you two. Now look for a spell how to get a witch de-possess a body?" They both hear it. Elijah puts the book down slowly. He stands up and look towards the door. He does not want to believe it but there he is Kol standing next to Klaus. Elijah moves towards him slowly "how?"
He stops right in front of him "I escaped, no thanks to you guys" he looks at Klaus and Elijah and enters the room. He walks to the bar and pours himself a drink. He looks at Hayley" you must be Hayley, mother of my niece. I am Kol, Kol Mikaelsons".
She gets up and looks at him in confusion. Then she looks at Elijah and Kol. "You knew" Elijah turns to Klaus. "I met Kol yesterday but we were trying to figure something out so we thought it best to keep his return a secret" He walks up to the bar too. Pours himself a drink. "You will be happy to learn that our beloved mother and our suicidal maniac brother Finn have also returned"
Elijah looks at him with his mouth open "and you have met them" Klaus continues "Cassy and Joshua" at Elijah's questioning glance he answers. "Now we have not one but three of our worst enemies combined to eliminate us. I thought what better way to cheer ourselves than bringing Kol out of his hiding place. What was your hiding place by the way? The other side has been gone for more than a month now." He turns to Kol.
"Hiding means hiding Nik, I might need it again when I am trying to escape those dagger that you keep on putting in us" he jokes
"Hmmm" Klaus acknowledges.
He is about to walk out when Hayley stops him "Klaus I want to talk to you about something"
"Have you talked to Rebekah?" she asks him
"Yes Hayley I have. Elijah has her number too. If you want to talk to her take her number and call her" he adds rather roughly and leaves the room leaving her speechless. Elijah looks at her and then at the spot where Klaus was standing just a couple of seconds ago. Kol looks at this with amusement "o wow family drama. I cannot tell how much I have missed this" He says
"So which one is my room?" he looks at Elijah
Klaus is pacing his room up and down when the door bangs open. He looks around and Hayley is standing there "what is your problem? Why are you acting this way?" she shouts
"I don't have any problem but you surely seems to have one. Why don't you go and ask Elijah for help? If you want to talk to Hope, talk to her yourself. I am not your messenger boy" He shouts back.
"you bastard" before she can stop herself she says that and leaves the room before she can see the impact of those words on his face but Elijah can as he has come to see what is going on. "Niklaus…" he says but Klaus pushes him to one side and leaves the compound. Hayley goes to the kitchen and takes out the blood bags from the freezer and sits down on the floor and start to drink them. That is where Elijah finds her a couple of minutes later. He tries to take it away from her but she shouts "go away Elijah I don't need your pity go away" he looks at her and then reluctantly leaves her.
Kol is sitting on his bed listening to everything going on. He walks in to the kitchen and sees Hayley sitting there drinking blood. He sits next to her and takes a blood bag for himself and start to drink in silence. Hayley is prepared to answer any question he asks him but he does not talk. At last she puts the bag down and sits there in silence. She does not realize that she is crying and moving her hands over her tummy "we send her away. How can she live without her mom?" She say.
In these past 900 years Kol has never had his heart broken as these words were breaking it right now. He says "shhh we will get her back" and before he knows it she is crying in his shoulders. He picks her up and takes her to her room. He puts her down and turns to leave when he sees the nursery. He walks to the nursery slowly and he goes inside. He sees the wooden horse that he and Klaus had built when he was 10 years old. He sees the small mirror that Henrick has found in the woods. He sees the small stuff toys in the crib and his heart begins to feel heavy. He turns and start to leave the room when he notices that Hayley has gone to sleep with the wolf stuff toy clutched in hands. He switches off the light and leaves the room closing the door behind her softly. He goes into his room and does not hear his brother return home until the dawn.
