Chapter 4: tangled up in blue
After hearing about Rebekah's little meeting with Marcel's secret weapon which turned out to be a teenager called Davina and how she had been powerful enough to not only throw Rebekah out of a window with her mind but the erase her memory of where Marcel was hiding Davina and Elijah, Peyton decided to go exploring around the house since it was still early after she had gotten dressed. She now wore a white v-necked tank top underneath a salmon pink cashmere sweater that hugged her figure a little, a pair of jeans that were ripped at the knees and pair of brown ankle buckled boots. Peyton had decided to create a messy hairstyle with her natural waves by creating a waterfall braid from side of her hair to another making it look a little tangled, she wore black eyeliner to make her light brown eyes look more defined than normal which matched her natural looking pale lipstick. Peyton wondered into the living room where Rebekah was watching the fire outside that had been used to burn the dead vampire bodies begin to die out
" I cannot believe you disposed of those vampires without me, you know I love to set things on fire" Rebekah said as she looked out of the window as Peyton leaned against the doorframe
" yeah maybe you should find another hobby like knitting or something" she said realising that she didn't really know the people she was living with as much as she would like to or needed to
" hello love, here ...Was I supposed to leave them in the front yard to rot?" He said smiling at her as he thought about their conversation in her bedroom that morning about the baby and them
" hi... I for one are glad that you did since I don't think I could cope with the smell of rotten flesh, not that burning flesh is any better" she said crinkling her nose up as she gestured to the fact that her heightened smell wasn't agreeing with her right now
" that reminds me, here I am told it helps with the morning sickness. They were my responsibility" he said standing up as he handed her some crackers and a bottle of fresh lemon water
" thank you and how do you figure since it was me who lured them there and Rebekah who killed them?" She asked as she took the items from him and began to nib on a cracker feeling her stomach become calmer
" they attacked you, the helpless pregnant girl who's carrying my child..sorry, our child" he said correcting himself after noticing the look Peyton gave him at calling the baby his child and theirs
" oh I am so moved by your new found sense of fatherly duties towards the werewolf carrying your hybrid bun in her oven" Rebekah said after silently watching the interaction between klaus and Peyton
" ok first I'm not that helpless and second well done Rebekah, that's some what progress when referring to my pregnancy" she said thinking of the other way she had referred to it before now
" I can't work out if I hate you or like you" Rebekah said titling her head as she tried to once again work Peyton out, although she knew that in some ways her brother and Peyton were alike
" right back at you, anyway what's the plan? I mean I'm assuming there is a plan" she said backing away from the doorframe to get closer to them as Klaus sat down on the chair in the office room
" well that depends on done plan what plan you mean little red, my plan for global domination of Rebekah's plan to find love in cruel world?" He said as Rebekah threw a knife at him which he easily caught before it hit him
" Klaus, don't be a jerk and I meant the plan to rescue Elijah, you know your brother who is now in the possession of your mortal enemy" she said letting him know that she still wasn't happy by it
" who you had stabbed in the back after making a deal to protect your child" Rebekah said letting him know that Elijah had only ever done what he thought was right and would help Klaus
" I stabbed him in the front if we're being specific" he said to his sister as he gave her his signature smirk that made Peyton want to kiss him hard and passionate if his sister wasn't in the room
" you guys said you wanted him back so is there a plan or are we winging it?" She said knowing that she wouldn't put it pass them to have a vague plan before just doing whatever they wanted
" okay well first Marcel is not my mortal enemy, he's my friend. Albeit one who is unaware that I'm trying to sabotage his hold over the supernatural community of the French Quarter but a friend nevertheless" he said thinking about the amount of terms that could be used to describe them
" yeah, you might want to rethink the term friend" Peyton said knowing that a friend didn't purposely back stab someone they considered a friend which was what he was doing
" and secondly I daggered Elijah in order to gain Marcel's trust, if I had known he would place my brother in the hands of a particularly nasty witch then I certainly would have weighed my options a bit differently. And thirdly sister..." He said gesturing for Rebekah to continue the telling of the plan
" and thirdly the plan as you so nicely asked is for Niklaus to simply so Marcel for Elijah back" she said as Peyton began to move away from her spot hoping she had misheard them and their plan
" that's...please tell me that isn't the whole plan? It can't be" she asked thinking that a guy as ruthless sounding as Marcel wouldn't give Elijah back because Klaus said pretty please to him
" please! Klaus may be a miserable excuse for a sibling but there is none more diabolical" she said thinking about all the evil and horrible things he had done throughout their lifetime as vampires
" that's only plan A, little red! There's always a plan B" he said to her as he got the feeling that she probably wasn't going to like plan B as he watched her take of the water he had prepared for her
" great so what's plan B?" She asked thinking anything had to be better than the plan A that they had come up with as she suddenly wished she had been there to talk them into a better one
" war...Rebekah, why don't you go do your role?" He said sensing that Peyton would want to talk to him alone as he saw her begin to panic as she took a step back and placed a hand on her belly
" as you wish my brother" Rebekah said sarcastically although she left the room since she could tell that they had a lot to talk about which was something that she didn't need to be there for
" war, Klaus? Really?... War means death and collateral damage and losses on both side-" she said before he used to his speed to get to her fast as he pulled her into him as he tried to comfort her
" shhh, it will be okay and no matter what happens none of this will touch you...I promised to you and I will, Peyton" he said smoothing down her hair as he cupped her face with both of hands
" Peyton? You never call me by my actual name, I was beginning to think you didn't know it" she said in small whisper as she tried to use humour to defuse the tension in the room and the worry
" I know more about you than you think but I would like to learn more" he said knowing he should learn more about the woman carrying his child and the woman who was slowly capturing his heart
" I'd like that but first don't you have a frenemy to ask a favour of?" She said knowing that they needed Elijah back to ensure that Klaus didn't go to far in order to get what he wanted
" that I do...do me a favour and stay here this time, I'll be back" he said hoping that she would listen to him this time as he kissed her forehead before leaving her alone in the office
Later that day after Klaus had went to the Abattoir to ask Marcel about giving Elijah back before being shot down by him as his guys were still nervous about the originals being back in town and Rebekah as well as Sophie had went to visit the witch who had given Peyton wolfsbane to kill her baby and called the vampires about a werewolf sighting in the French Quarter, they had come back with sophie to discuss a new plan. Klaus motioned for her to join them as she headed into the living room since he knew that she would only listen in at the door if he hadn't invited her in, once they were all together Klaus began to explain to both Sophie and Peyton that they wanted he to cast a locating spell
" are you out of your mind? No way!" Sophie said as she paced the space in front of them as she refused to even consider their insane plan that mostly ended up with her being publicly killed
" it's very simple, we need you to preform a teeny tiny locator spell to help us find our brother" Rebekah said sweetly as if butter wouldn't melt as Peyton wondered when Marcel's weapon would revealed
" witches who practice magic in this town get cath then they get killed and I die so do you" Sophie said to Peyton as Klaus stopped her from hitting Sophie as she stepped forward at her threat
" yeah I'm aware and being a witch is way better than being werewolf in this town where you just get killed" she said showing that she was still bitter about one of people ratting her out
" it seems you left out a critical detail when we made out deal. Marcel's secret weapon, the way he knows when a witch is using magic..." He said trying to prompt her into telling them what they already knew
" a girl about yea high, cute as a button, anger issues?" Rebekah said continuing from where Klaus had left off since it was clear that Sophie didn't know who they were talking about until then
" Davina? Where you have seen her?" She said suddenly anxious about the fact that they had seen Davina as Peyton suddenly smiled at the fact that they had know something she didn't
" I don't know, the little brat eased my memory right after she threw me out a window with her bloody mind!" Rebekah said showing how the temper in her that could easily match her brother's
" funny how you didn't mention that Marcel could have a witch of his own when you blackmailed Klaus to take him down" Peyton said calmly although Klaus could sense her silent anger towards her
" let me cut to the chase, Davina has Elijah and you witches I assume want to get Davina away from Marcel. We don't need where she is ergo we need magic" klaus said trying to show Sophie that there was no other way for both of them to get what they wanted
" Davina would sense it" Sophie said shaking her head as she refused to listen to them as Klaus and Rebekah began to look at her as they realised that they should tell her the other part of their plan
" unless of course another witch, say a traitor to the cause was to preform much more powerful magic at the same time" Rebekah said as something triggered Peyton's mind to pick up on something
" a traitor? You mean like Katie?" She asked as she thought about what she had tried to make her do as well as how she had called vampires on her due to her vampire boyfriend
" exactly, that would create a smokescreen concealing your very small spell from Davina" Rebekah said showing them both that they had careful thought this plan out before bringing it to them
" Katie doesn't deserve to die" Sophie said not feeling comfortable with killing one of her friends as well as someone from her coven as she wondered if this way it was going to be like them here
" that's a matter of opinion actually... She tried to kill the baby you're currently using as a bargaining chip" Peyton said bitterly although she didn't exactly want Katie to die for what she did
" Sophie Deveraux! You're in one position to be so principled, you can't win a war without a few strategical loses. No matter how regrettable they may be" Klaus said on the table in front of her
" which they always are, even the small ones" Rebekah added thinking about all the things they had lost over the years due to facing a enemy who had forced their hand to do something stupid
" how many times have the vampires been one step ahead? Knew something they shouldn't?" He asked knowing that he needed to keep pushing her in order to convince her to do this for them
" pretty much every time we did something..." Sophie said as Klaus's words made her think about everyone who had been killed due to being caught doing magic that Marcel didn't approve
" your sister was executed in the public square for practising magic" he said finally finding the right buttons to press as he realised that this would be the thing to turn her against Katie to do this
" Klaus..." Peyton said in a warning tone as she tried to stop him from going too far and pushing Sophie so far that she snapped making her stable which in turn made her useless to them
" who knew she'd be caught? Did she even attempt to flee?" He asked her thinking that it all seemed to perfect and coincidental that Thierry's girlfriend happened to be a witch
" she was caught hiding in a cargo load of freighter before it set to sail down the Mississippi" she said now with tears in her eyes causing Peyton to exchange a worried look with Rebekah
" and who prey tell of Marcel's valued inner circle manages his business at the docks?" He said forcing her to connect the dots that he was presenting to her making it as clear as day
" Katie's boyfriend...Thierry!... Fine, I'll do it" she said before grabbing her things and leaving as she needed to collect herself as well a prepare for whatever was going to happen that night
" you shouldn't have pushed her so far or used her sister like that" Peyton said knowing that what he had just done didn't sit right with her since he had basically used someone's dead sister
" I'm afraid it was necessarily for her do what must be done" Klaus said knowing that Sophie wasn't going to do without the proper motivation to convince her that Katie deserved this
" and I'm guessing you are both going to this stupid ball of Marcel's tonight, maybe you should have third person there" she said knowing that she desperately needed to get out of the house
" you are not coming little red, it's too dangerous. Someone could recognise you or find out what you are" he said in a no nonsense voice telling that he wasn't even going to consider her idea
" actually that's not a bad idea Klaus, she could wear a mask and I could help disguise her...so much so Marcel would be distracted by her" Rebekah said realising that she could throw him off
" I said no! It's too risky and we're not using the mother of my child as a pawn" he said getting more and more anger at the fact that they were both ganging up on him about this
" the mother of your child is more than capable of looking after herself need I mind you" she said hating the fact that he still saw her as some helpless werewolf girl that couldn't look after herself
" I'm well aware but the answer is still no, you need to stay here until I have control of the quarter and can make it safe for you" he said trying to plead with her as he realised if it was someone else he would used force to make them do it
" well you can gain control of the quarter before I give birth because I don't think I can spend nine months stuck in here" she said rolling her eyes before leaving the room as Rebekah gave Klaus a look
" I am really starting to like her" Rebekah said knowing that maybe Klaus had met his match with the werewolf girl living with them after she had talked to him in a way no one had ever dared to
After more plotting on both Rebekah's and Klaus's parts it was time for both of them to get ready for the ball they both had to attend that night as it was the playing field for their big move against Marcel. Due to the combination of the New Orleans heat and the lack of air conditioning in the house Peyton decided to get changed into something more suitable to the heat as she now wore a pair of denim shorts, a dark pale red lace long tank, a light beige cardigan with silk lace panels at the side of it and a pair of dark beige suede ankle boots. To keep her hair off of her neck she decided to braid both sides of her hair while placing the rest of her hair into a bun, she wore less heavy eye make up but enough to make her eyes pretty and dark pale red lip gloss. Somehow she wondered by Klaus's room as she watched by the door as he struggled to pick out a tie to go with his all black attire.
" go with the blue one, it brings out your eyes... Here let me" Peyton said as she walked into his room which was filled with canvas and art equipment as she walk over to him to fix his tie
" just like red suits you, although bright red is better on you I think" he said thinking about how she would look wearing a red ball grown on her way to her first big supernatural party as he smiled
" why thank you kind sir, I still wish I was coming with you" she said knowing that it was more than her wanting to get out the house, she wanted to see him in his world being the big bad Klaus
" I know I wish you were too but you know why you understand can't right?" He said to her wishing that she would just do what she was told rather than constantly fighting him on this
" yeah I got it, you want me to stay alone where it's boring and safe to... Protect the baby" she said still feeling like his only concern was the baby she was carrying and nothing more than that
" and to protect you and before you say it not just because you're carrying my child but because I...you're you" he said not wanting to be vulnerable with her yet by telling her how he felt about her
" I'm sure knowing you and you're family there will be plenty of balls and parties for me to come to" she said smiling at him as she finished doing his tie and flattened it down as he fixed himself
" thank you little red... You're right, there will be plenty more where you can attend and dance and have fun" he said knowing that she deserved to have fun rather than being caged up like she was
" maybe I'll save you a dance" she said with a cheeky smile as she realised that she was getting herself in trouble the more time she spent with him since she could see herself falling in love with him
" I look forward to it... So what do you have planned?" He said as he finished getting dressed as he checked himself out in the mirror as he smiled as he noticed the way Peyton avoided his bed
" well I'm not planning on leaving or running away if that's what you're asking, I'll probably read sit outside or something" she said knowing that it was too hot to be inside as she reassured him
" I'm glad to hear it... Be safe and do not leave, I'll see you when I get back" he said gently touching her hand before leaving the room as he uncharacteristically needed comfort from her touch
" good luck with being diabolical and all" she said calling down the hall as she faintly heard him chuckle at her words as she headed down the hall and into her own room to get one of her books
Soon after everyone had left for Marcel's ball Peyton headed outside as she sat with her feet in the pool as she read her book before looking up at the moon which was most full as she thought about all the full moons she would be missing now that she was pregnant since werewolves didn't transforms when they were pregnant. She never liked transforming into the wolf since it was a constant reminder of the life that she took which triggered her curse but she was going to miss the thing that sometimes felt like the only constant in her life. Peyton looked up to see a wolf coming out of the bushed although there was something about the wolf that made her get out of the pool and walk towards it
" hey wolf, you know I should be scared for my life by you rather walking towards you. Here I thought wolfs were banned from here" she said to it as she wondered why she wasn't running inside to protect her and her baby
" you're not supposed to be out here" said an unknown woman walked out of the house via the back door as Peyton turned away from the wolf to face her as the wolf shrieked back into the bushes
" and you would be who? I mean I barely take orders from those I know never mind people I don't" Peyton said warning her off as she went into fight mode where she hadn't before with the wolf
" sorry I didn't mean to scare you, I'm Sabine. We've met, I'm one of Sophie's friends" Sabine said as she walked closer to her as she waited for Peyton to stand down but she refused to do so
" in the cemetery where you witches kept me captive, I remember. Oh and being Sophie's friends doesn't comfort me" she said placing a protective hand on her stomach as she felt comforted by the wolf's pretence
" Sophie just asked me to come keep you company while everyone's out" she said trying to be kind and friendly towards to her since she was clearly very hostile and reluctant towards to her
" you mean she wanted to make sure I didn't run or do anything stupid" she said knowing that she was the witches's blackmail in order to get Klaus and the others to do what they wanted
" you know the wolf drawn to you, the child you're carrying is part vampire and part werewolf. You and Klaus made something special" Sabine said as she gestured to where the baby was developing
" you can say that again, Elijah believes this baby is the key to Klaus's humanity and making the Mikaelsons a family again" she said thinking about everything he had said about the baby before he was stabbed by Klaus
" you don't?" Sabine said sensing that there was something about the girl in her currently state was becoming more and more unsure of what was happening around her and to her
" there's a lot I don't believe in or know like astronomical physics or the sex of my baby but I do think Klaus's humanity can be saved" she said thinking about how different he was with her
" you know I can do something about that if you want, I mean finding out if it's a boy or girl not astronomical physics" she said smiling as she continued Peyton's joke about the things she didn't know
" I thought you couldn't do witchy type of things in this town" she said knowing that was they reason why they were using Katie and her magic as a smokescreen for Sophie to do a spell
"It's not magic, just an old trick my grandma taught me... Come on, you have to be a little curious" Sabine said knowing that very expecting mother was curious about the gender of their baby
" ok maybe a little curious" she said with a smile as she realised that she was going to find out what she was having as she thought about giving Klaus the good news when he comes home
Sabine and Peyton went inside to the kitchen where they cleared everything off the kitchen bench so that Peyton could lay on top of it so that Sabine could do the ancient trick that her grandma has taught her which consisted of her swinging a crystal above a pregnant woman's stomach, if it was a boy it would swing one way and if it was a girl it would swing another way.
" I think it's a girl since its swinging more up and down, although it's almost in a circle" Sabine said trying to work out what was going on as Peyton lifted her head to see what was happening
" meaning what? This isn't old trick of yours isn't working" she said not really focusing on the fact that Sabine had just told her that her and Klaus would be having a bay girl since it hasn't hit her
" it's working as well as it can but like I said I'm pretty sure it's a girl...wait" Sabine said sensing something as panic and worry began to wash over Peyton as she became scared something was wrong
" wait, what? Is something wrong or am I having a little mini Klaus instead?" She said trying not to stress out as she tried even harder not to think about all the things that could be wrong with the baby
" Hoc est infantima malom. Nos omnia perditu el eam" Sabine said sucking a deep breathe as she began to chant over and over again making Peyton properly freaked out about it all
" ok quit with the chanting!...like now Sabine!" Peyton said raising her voice slightly as she sat up from her place on the table and stood up as she tried to shake off what had just happened
" I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me...everything is with your baby" Sabine said trying to recover while showing Peyton that she was fine but she could tell that she wasn't and it wasn't nothing
" I think you should go, you can tell Sophie I'm not going to run and I don't need a babysitter" she said still shaken by it as she suddenly felt unsafe around Sabine with her witchy tricks and chanting
After Sabrina left, Peyton grabbed her computer as she looked up different ancient methods of telling what gender an unborn baby was while in the womb before looking up the words that she kept chanting after discovering it was a girl. However she was interrupted when she heard Rebekah and Klaus coming in as she walked into the living room where they were as she saw them still dressed as they were for the ball as they poured themselves a glass of bourbon, she could sense that something had happened with the plan although she should have known that one of their plans would have gone wrong like always
" hey how did it go?" Peyton asked as she ignored the looks that Klaus was giving her since he could sense that something was wrong with her or at least something was going on with her
" tonight was an epic failure" Rebekah said gloomy as she took an extra large sip of bourbon as Peyton kinda wished she could drink it some of it and the smell didn't make her feel sick
" on the contrary sister, tonight was a masterpiece" Klaus said with a smile as Peyton gave them a confused look as she tried to work out why he looked so pleased and she looked miserable
" ok can someone clue me in because I feel like I'm missing something here?" She said realising that no one has actually told her specifics about what had went wrong or what had went right
" Katie died before Sophie could complete the spell" Rebekah said getting her attention as she suddenly realised why she looked so down and gloomy since it meant they didn't find Elijah
" oh I'm well aware, I killed Katie" he said like it was the most reasonable thing in the world to do as both females in the room looked at each other helpless as they tried to work him out
" you what?" Rebekah asked with tears in her eyes as she began to wonder how her brother had gotten so messed up that he would sabotage their every attempt to get their brother back
" why would you do that when you knew that your chance to find Elijah?" Peyton asked silently wishing that he had a reason for doing this, although she wasn't sure that it would be a good one
" there's no way our little suicide witch wasn't gonna try and take out Marcel with her" he said pointing out to them that he still needed Marcel alive in order to fulfil the deal he had with the witches
" so what? killing her was a better idea?" Peyton said revealing to him that she wasn't ok with just randomly killing people just because they wanted to or because they were improvising
" I saved his life and in doing soI now have him exactly where I want him" he told them as he tried to emphasise how good everything had turned out despite him killing Katie
" Sophie trusted you! I trusted you! Against everything all my better instincts!" Rebekah said shouting him as she realised that she had put her faith in him again and he had disappointed her again
" I did too...I trusted you when I find so hard to" Peyton said quietly and disappointed which to have more of an affect him than Rebekah's loud angered words as he looked away from her
" wake up Rebekah! The witches are on no ones side but their own" he said slightly offended by their words more Peyton's as he decided to focus more on his sister than her since it hurt less
" they have certainly made that clear" she said thinking about how the witches had done nothing but mess with them to get what they wanted rather than working with them like they should have
" This girl, Davina? That's all they want and when they have her, what do you think happens then? a truce? Of course not, t hey will use Davina's power against all of us" he said trying to show that they couldn't trust the witches anymore than they could trust Marcel
" even if you're right, the plan was to find Elijah and you failed us" Rebekah said sounding more upset and horrified by the second as she thought about how his actions only ever helped him
" you always did lack faith. By protecting Marcel, I've cemented his trust so much so that's he's agreed to return Elijah to us" he said slightly defeated that neither of one of them believed in him
" he did? And you believe him?" Peyton asked thinking it was weird that Marcel hadn't given him a time or details of when he would undagger Elijah to repay him for protecting him from Katie's rage
" I have no choice but to believe him. When the time is right, when he had told me everything I need to know about Davina I will have her for myself" he said to them revealing more of his plan
" Klaus...Davina is just a girl, not a tool or a weapon for you to use" she said hating how he kept talking about how he was going to use her when she wasn't a thing or an object for him to possess
" you know I have all the faith in the world that you'll get what you want Nik, you always do no matter what it costs the rest of us... You disgust me!" Rebekah said before draining her drink and placing it on the piano as she left them alone so she could deal with her distain
" I thought you would be please that Elijah is returning to us" he said quietly to Peyton as he poured him another drink as she slumped herself into a chair as she silently watched him
" I am, I just wished you had went about a different way" she said knowing that despite Katie trying to kill her baby and tipping the vampires off about a werewolf in the quarter she didn't deserve that
" what is it about my brother that inspires admiration in people?" He asked knowing that she barely knew him and she was happy about him being back in her life as he suddenly felt jealous
" because he's kind and loyal and very compassionate I guess" she said thinking about how Elijah had tried everything he could to protect her and her child after only knowing her for a few minutes
" and I'm the opposite of him" he said mentally comparing himself against his brother as he thought how easier it would be if she was more involved with Elijah than him despite his jealousy
" in a way, you can be ruthless, brutal and kinda of a dick to be honest but you can be sweet and gentle" she said thinking of the way he was when he was with her compared with other people
" more so with you little red, with you I can help but be anything else" he said finding it both comforting and unnerving that she had that kind of effect on him when no one else ever had
" hey so I have something that might cheer you up, I kind of learned something about the baby with the help of one of Sophie's friends" she said standing up to close in the distance between them
" oh do tell, love?" He said putting down his glass of bourbon so that he could wrap his arms around her waist as he wanted to know more about why a witch was there and what she did
" I think the baby's girl...go ahead" she said seeing that he was tempted to touch her stomach where their baby grew but he hesitated as she placed his hand on it making him smile more
" thats wonderful...you are beginning to show, little red" he said feeling a small bump where she usually had a flat smooth stomach as she wondered how she hadn't noticed before now
" maybe, I hadn't really noticed lately" she said knowing that according to the books and Internet she wasn't meant to show for a few weeks still but wasn't going to shoot a gift horse in the month
" well maybe I'm more accustomed to your body than you think" he aid suddenly finding the pulling towards her too strong as he gently pulled her closer as he crashed his lips onto hers as he pulled her into a passion filled kiss which soon led to more as he used his speed to get them to his room
