As always, thank you all for your continued support!

Without further ado, here is drabble 7! Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything associated with The Originals...I just like to play around with the characters at times. I only own the plot...mostly.


Pool (280 words)


Hayley smiled as she stared at the mass of sparkling water before her. She had needed to clear her head, needed time to herself after everything that had happened. All of which lead to her taking a walk that lead her to where she was now.

Whenever she was feeling overwhelmed and needed to calm herself down but wanted to be alone, she would find herself escaping to the one place that ironically did make her feel calm. Hayley had never told anybody about the place before, not even Elijah. It was her own personal safe haven.

The pool at the old plantation house was the same pool that she'd almost miscarried Hope in, which one would think would make the pool a reminder of a bad time in her life. But, on the contrary, it was the good memories of the pool that she bothered to never forget.

The pool at the plantation house was where Elijah had held her in his arms for the first time, had saved not only her life but Hope's as well. The pool was the place where Elijah had in some ways become her security blanket of sorts, his voice and warm embrace had been so calming to her in such a dark moment in her life.

The pool was a place of many good things. The most important of all, the pool was the place that Hayley had first realized that what she was feeling for Elijah was much more serious than just him being kind to her. The pool was the place where Elijah had managed to permanently etch himself into her heart without even realizing it.


There you have it!

What did you think? Did you like getting into Hayley's head? Did you like it even without dialogue and the presence of another character?

Review please and let me know what you thought of it!
