Hayley POV

I woke up in a cold sweat fear encasing my body like a bitter cloak. It was just a dream I told myself over and over again to no end. I looked around noting that I was in New York not New Orleans, Davina's and mine flat, not the creepy old house. The clock to my left on the nightstand read 3:27. A few more hours and Davina would have to get up for her first day of school and I would have to be up to start my first day of work.

Well there was no point in easing myself into another fitful few hours, so I decided it was time to get up. I walked into the kitchen and began to scrounge together something to eat for breakfast. I was usually fine with a bowl of cereal but Davina preferred a whole buffet with both orange juice and milk on the side of course.

We had been in New York for a little over a week and a half and so far I had gotten the hang of the whole taking care of a minor thing. Before we left I didn't know how to make soup without setting the stove on fire. Now, I could at least make eggs and spaghetti. That's about it but I'm learning.

After a couple hours I had managed to figure out pancakes and bacon. Yum. At about 6:00 I went to wake Davina. "Hey, Davina, wake up," all I got was a grunt in response, "I made breakfast." With that she popped out from her comforter "What'd you-"she sniffed the air, "Is that bacon?" I nodded and grinned at her. "I'm up, let me take a shower and get ready real quick though." I nodded and left her to do her teenage girl morning routine.

At first I wasn't going to take Davina. The thought hadn't even crossed my mind in fact, but she had followed me to the bus station. That night, it was so cold. Maybe it was because of some kind of psychological reason instead. I shook it off and continued my journey into the night when I heard a twig snap behind me. I began walking once again trying and failing to pretend it was a coincidence when I heard another crack and took off running, fearing it was one of Klaus' lap dogs I decided I wouldn't go down without a fight and I damn sure wasn't going back to be Klaus' prisoner.

As I was sprinting as fast as my pregnant body would allow I heard a soft, delicate voice yelling out my name, "Hayley, Hayley wait I want to go with you!" I stopped abruptly and turned around, "Davina, what the hell are you thinking?" I snapped, "Sneaking up on a werewolf! It's like you want to get your throat ripped out!" she looked sheepish, "Sorry, I just- can you please take me with you?"

I looked at her in disbelief. "And why would I want to do that?" I asked in defiance. She thought about this for second, staring at the ground in concentration the raised her head up, looking me straight in the eyes. Hm maybe little witch isn't so goody goody after all. "Because of Klaus. Do you really think he won't track down any and every witch around to perform a locator spell?" I looked at her in question "Is there a point to this?" I asked in annoyance. She had one on me and I hated it.

"I can cloak us. I'm powerful enough it will last a few days until we figure something out." She looked at me pleadingly, "Please, take me with you. I can't stay here anymore. I just want a normal life." She had tears in her eyes now. I thought for a moment, little witch had a point Klaus would kill any witch who declined his order so of course he will be able to track me down in no time.

"Fine, you can come." She went to burst in excitement until I held up a finger. "We need to leave now, thank me later." She nodded and grinned back enthusiastically. "Come on, this way."

I hadn't been sure about Davina joining me on my great escape, but I can't find it in me to regret my allowing her to tag along. We had become friends and we definitely had a bond that was sister like, I would never admit it though. We knew what it was like to be used and betrayed. We were allies…a kindred spirit in each other.

"Davina, hurry we're going to be late!" I called down the hallway. "5 more minutes!" she replied. I rolled my eyes at her adolescent timing. I looked around for my bag to make sure I was ready when she finally decided she was prepared for her day. Our small flat was nice, 2 bedrooms with adjoining bathrooms in each one, a living room, small kitchen, and with a hallway bathroom for guests. Not that there would be any visitors, I had already set that outs a rule. Way too dangerous to allow strangers into our house, for all we know Klaus has a reward for whoever finds us first.

When Davina finally made her appearance her hair, clothing, and makeup was to perfection. She was beaming, "I'm ready." I smiled and we left to make our ways to our respective daily plans.

Our cover story was that we were sisters, orphans. My name was Shay Marin and I was 20 and had custody of my 15 year old little sister, Danielle Marin. It was perfect and we even kind of looked alike. We had found some extended family of Davina's that helped perform the spell and the cloak should last about 2 years. Until then we were free to do whatever we want as long as it didn't attract attention to ourselves.

I didn't tell Davina this but I felt it would be best if we moved every six months to a year as necessary. We had to keep quiet and moving around would be perfect to keep that monster off our heels. After we had gotten to New York I had begun renting out a flat and had an old buddy of mine draw up some fake ID's and passports. After I had bought us several ID's and passports under various names, rented out a flat, and bought a safe for everything important I had about 400 bucks left. I put that away for emergency money and began job searching.

I found a waitressing in a little diner in walking distance and Davina's school was just a few blocks from my work. I didn't want to let her attend school at first but, we had agreed she gets to go if she comes directly to my work every day until I get off. She had agreed as quickly as l laid that option out.

I would never admit this out loud but I was kind of happy to not be alone anymore. She was coming with me and I could give her something I never had: a normal life. In just a short time she had wormed her way into my stone cold heart. I had always prided myself on my lone wolf status but she and Elij-no do not go there. When you left Klaus you knew you would be leaving Elijah too. It had broken my heart but I had a child to look out for now so it had to be done. I pushed those thoughts aside and began walking down the street with more concentration then necessary.

When me and Davina came to where we departed onto different paths I gave her some lunch money and told her to have a good day. Man, I guess I was starting this mothering thing early. I made my way to work and clocked in right on time.

Elijah POV

It was in the middle of the afternoon and I was looking over every piece of information I had on the whereabouts of celeste when I heard my phone ring. Hoping it was Hayley I immediately rushed over and answered on the 3rd ring. "Hello?" I asked into the cellular device, smiling in spite of myself. "Hello, Big Brother." I immediately recoiled. Klaus never called me, only when it was an emergency or he was royally ready to tear some heads off with a smile.

"What is it Niklaus?" I asked with a sigh, "I'm guessing this is not a social call. I could literally feel his sickening smirk half way across the world. "It seems little Wolf has run off with little witch." I looked up from my studies and realized the dire situation at hand had changed. I barely managed to choke out a "When?"

"Last night, I checked the safe and it appears she stole 10 thousand and some old jewelry. If I wasn't so worried for her safety I would have smiled at my brother having been hustled by 6 month pregnant werewolf. I thought for a moment and decided I knew exactly what this situation called for.

"I will be on the next flight out. I'm coming home."
