In the last chapter, we have witnessed Hayley's first day with in Klaus' home. He and Jane Anne are already planning on throwing Marcel off guard this night of the party and they are going to use Hayley as bait in order to do so and find the secret weapon they have been searching for. Now, Hayley is going as Marcel's date, even though no one knows she is a werewolf yet. And Klaus is taking Cami as his date as well.
This will be a night to remember as Marcel feels like something is completely wrong about Hayley and she will be more preoccupied watching Klaus with Cami. Sophie and Jane Anne will be attending, having the vampires want nothing more than to eat them up. Also, Hayley will be introduced to the "secret weapon" of Marcel's. Will the plan Jane Anne set up, work?
The ride in the car couldn't have been more bloody difficult. Hayley had planned it out perfectly. The only way that she was going to learn more about her pack was if she got close to Marcel. If she did get close, she would get the chance to learn more about her family without him realizing it. She only let Klaus and Cami drive her to the ball because she didn't want Marcel to know that she was staying with her one night stand, which would be super awkward for her. She sighed and looked out the window, as she sat in the back of the car. Somehow, she felt like Klaus was downgrading her for Cami. Hayley was the one who usually called shotgun, but now she understood that maybe she was acting childish. Cami was compelled and had no idea what she was getting herself into as Klaus' date for the night. Hayley sighed as she remembered her conversation with Marcel that day and how he had invited her to be his date for his charity party tonight. She had practically admitted that she knows he is a vampire.
"So, you know that I am…" "A vampire? Yes. Sophie and Jane Anne are witches. I know that as well. I know everything. It's not that much of a secret. Most of the humans in this town have already gotten the picture." Hayley responded. Marcel laughed at that comment as the doors opened once more and Klaus stepped inside. Hayley's eyes met his and he turned his head towards Jane Anne and Sophie who were standing and talking in the staffroom. Klaus joined them in a few seconds. Hayley was urging to step in there and hear what they were planning but she knew that would leave Marcel suspicious. She was not here to find out what Klaus was planning. She was here to find out about her pack and what Marcel has done to them. "You know, I have heard a lot of stories about you, Marcel Gerard. I heard that you caused quite a mess with the werewolves that a lot of people didn't quite appreciate, particularly the humans." "What did you hear?" Marcel asked her, curiously. "I heard that you placed some sort of curse on a certain pack and you exiled them. Why did you do it? What have they done to you?" Hayley asked him directly. "You are not supernatural, Hayley. You are a sweet girl who is not supposed to get involved in this." She gasped and put a hand over her heart. "You are insulting me. I am the last person whom you should be calling sweet, Marcel. I am far from sweet." "Then what type of girl are you?" he asked her and his face came closer to hers, to Hayley's surprise.
She wanted to play along but at that moment, Klaus had stepped out of the staffroom and was looking directly at them. Hayley pulled back at once and bit her lip, trying to avoid eye contact with him. Marcel pulled back as well and gulped down some more of his drink. "So, listen. I am planning on having another party tonight. I was planning on asking Cami to join me but…I guess you seem to interest me more now." Marcel told her and Hayley raised her eyebrows in surprise. "You're asking me to be your date?" she asked him and he chuckled. "So direct, aren't you?" "Always!" "Then, I suppose I am asking you. Tell me where you live and I am willing to stop by tonight at six and pick you up. The party is being held at my house. It's something formal, yes. You do have a place of your own now, right?" Hayley nodded at once but couldn't say where.
Klaus was watching Hayley very closely from his rearview mirror and thought about saying something to her but before he could open his mouth, he felt Cami's hand touch his and he looked at her for one moment as she smiled, "Are you excited?" she asked him. Klaus smirked as he thought about the plan he had cooked up with Jane Anne for this party night and nodded. "You have no idea, love." Hayley watched them from the back and rolled her eyes. "Something you would like to add, Hayley?" Klaus asked her, smirking again. She gave him a roll of her eyes and shook her head again. "You just can't help gloat can you?" "Gloat about what?" "You know what!" Cami was staring at them a little confused before Hayley finally decided to put an end to the subject before Klaus would realize that she knew about the plan. Jane Anne had told her not to say anything so she wouldn't. Cami stared at Hayley for a while before smiling and saying, "You already won Marcel's heart after being here for a few days. From what I know, there were many girls who would have loved to be in your shoes right now and hadn't managed to get him for years. How did you do it, Hayley?" Hayley could see Klaus' knuckles turning white from the strong grip he suddenly had on the steering wheel and the anger in his eyes. What the hell was his problem? Either way, Hayley smirked as she started playing along to see Klaus even angrier.
"There wasn't really anything that I could do, Cami. He simply came up to me and wanted to know me better." "Well, you must have done something because he doesn't just walk over to anyone. I remember that I have been trying to get his attention for months. Oh…no offense, Klaus." She suddenly turned her head with an apologetic look towards him. Hayley would have burst out laughing had she not restrained herself noticing the look on Klaus' face as he drove the car. "None taken, love." He finally whispered and did his best not to lose his temper now. His eyes met Hayley's in the rearview mirror for one moment before he turned his attention back to driving. This attitude of his didn't bother Hayley one bit and she was more looking forward to seeing it often. "Have you spoken to Jane Anne Deveraux?" Klaus suddenly asked her and Hayley simply shook her head, lying. "I thought that you were the one who was planning the great scheme with her." Cami furrowed her eyebrows in confusion and whispered, "What sort of scheme?" Klaus groaned and refused to answer the question. Before Cami could ask again, they have already gotten to the compound where the party was taking place. Lots of blue and purple lights were showing from the inside and the three stepped out of the car. Hayley sighed and arranged her dress, making sure that there wasn't anything wrong with it, when she noticed that Cami was going inside alone. She frowned and then she finally noticed Klaus standing behind her and she turned around, annoyed.
"What's wrong now? Aren't you supposed to be taking your date inside?" Hayley asked him and he smirked asking her in a whisper, "What did Jane Anne tell you?" "What are you talking about?" "I am talking about the party, love. Has she told you something that you shouldn't know…for your own protection." Ah, he was pulling the protection card on her but there was no way that she was going to fall for it. Hayley crossed her hands over her chest and whispered, "Klaus…you are simply demented. I thought I told you not a little while ago that Jane Anne has not spoken to me for a long while now. I have the spray which will hide my werewolf smell so there is not going to be a threat towards my safety tonight. I am Marcel's date and as a matter of fact, I want to learn as much as I can about where my family is so I can find them. And you…you just do whatever the hell you want with trying to get Marcel's trust in order to…" Klaus immediately put a finger on her lips, stopping her from talking as he whispered, "Are you trying to rat me out, love? May I remind you that vampire happen to have advanced hearing? We have the ability to hear from miles away. Keep your voice down." He ordered her. She barely understood anything that he was telling her as she was way more busy concentrating on the finger that was pressed to her lips. Noticing that, Klaus pulled away his finger and smirked, saying, "After you, little wolf." Hayley muttered, "Jerk." Under her breath and she stepped inside, noticing the beautiful decorations. She could feel Klaus beside her and it was making her heart beat a little faster for some reason. He smirked at her and was about to say something when Marcel stepped forward.
"Hayley! You made it!" Marcel exclaimed and Hayley smiled at him, saying, "You know me. I am always on time. You didn't think that I would bail on you, did you? It's a party that is definitely not worth missing. You did great, Marcel!" She was laying it on thick! Klaus cleared his throat and that was the time that Marcel stopped looking at Hayley with such amazement and turned towards him. "Klaus! How are you, old friend?" The two of them hugged and then Marcel looked between the two suspiciously. "Where is your date, Klaus? Don't tell me that you decided to ditch her for my girl, did you?" Klaus chuckled and whispered, "You know I would never do that. She's all yours." Hayley grunted as she didn't like to be passed like an object between the two. And since when could Marcel officially declare that she was his girl? They have barely gone out. This was practically their first date together. And Hayley knew that she could never be interested that way in him. She was manipulating him to know more about her family. Klaus knew it too. "Well, then, would you care to dance, Hayley?" Marcel asked her. Hayley, without looking at Klaus, smiled and nodded, letting him take her onto the dance floor. Klaus chuckled as he noticed her for one moment, when she felt a hand on his shoulder. Cami was standing there, with a smile on her face and holding two glasses of champagne. "To us?" she asked as she held it up. Klaus didn't like the way her toast sounded so he made a slight change. "To you, sweetheart." He whispered and the tip of their glasses touched, as Cami liked his idea better. Drinking up all of his champagne, he whispered to Cami, "I would like to dance." Before she could even respond, he had her onto the dance floor and his eyes were set clearly on Marcel and Hayley, who hadn't stopped dancing till now.
Marcel couldn't stop looking at Hayley in admiration as they danced. "You are a real beauty, you know that?" he asked her and Hayley couldn't help but blush at his commented, as she looked at him in the eyes. "Is that your way of courting me, Marcel?" "Is it working?" "Not exactly but it is a nice compliment." "So, I take it that you're a challenge. Klaus was right about you." Hayley furrowed her eyebrows as she asked, "You and Klaus talk regularly about me?" Marcel chuckled and shook his head. "It was just this one time when he also let me know that you had a one night stand with him while you were visiting Mystic Falls." Hayley looked away from him. "Yes. That is a night that I will preferably forget, if you don't mind." Marcel shook his head again. "I hope I'm not making you too uncomfortable. It's just that I haven't been on many dates for plenty of years now." "Well, I can imagine that as a vampire, you must have had many women in your past." Hayley said to him and Marcel was glad that she didn't look bothered when he replied, "Kind of." "Don't worry. Cami already informed me about the many women that have tried to get you. But why are you attracted to me?" "You are a very attractive woman. I am sure many men have already told you that. You also happen to be fascinating for my tastes." "Keep going. What else?" Hayley challenged him. Her eyes locked with Klaus as he danced with Cami, close to them and she caught him rolling his eyes as she smirked at his sudden distasteful attitude towards her and Marcel. "You remind of a woman that I loved for over 300 years…and I can't stop thinking about her even now. Her name was Rebekah. Is…I suppose." Hayley furrowed her eyebrows. "She's a vampire?" Marcel smiled and nodded. "I'm surprised you don't know about her. Klaus hadn't mentioned her to you…?" "Why would he?" "Rebekah is his sister." Hayley opened her mouth in shock but then closed it quickly. "Oh, yeah, he did mention he had a sister but he never told me her name. Wow. Klaus, your mentor a.k.a adoptive dad and his sister, Rebekah, your lover. A bit dysfunctional, don't you think?" "I suppose you can say that, But don't forget that you are my date and you happen to be the one who had a one night stand with my mentor also knows as, my adoptive dad." Hayley simply laughed.
Jane Anne and Sophie Deveraux had just entered the place and were looking around, curiously. Hayley saw them staring at her after a while and she offered them a warm smile as she continued dancing with Marcel. Marcel noticed to whom Hayley was smiling and asked her, "Are you close to Jane Anne?" She simply shrugged and said, "We knows each other for a while and we're friends but I wouldn't exactly say that we are close enough that I could call her my sister." "Speaking of sister…do you have any siblings around here that I should know of or are you all alone?" Hayley smiled. "It's just me. You weren't planning on ditching me for a hot sister had I had one, did you?" Marcel grinned and shook his head. "You are a wonderful girl, you know that? With a great sense of humor and I like that a lot in a woman. It gives her spunk." "Glad to hear that. So…do you have any immortal siblings around here?" "Nope. Although, you know I've always considered Klaus and his siblings, family." "You considered Rebekah family?" "Well, as you can tell, no. We loved each other but…" "What?" "Klaus was the one who didn't approve of our relationship." Marcel whispered, hoping Klaus wouldn't hear them. Hayley frowned. "Why wouldn't he?" "He never accepted any man that went after his sister. But after a couple of years of us hiding from him, he finally decided to make an exception. He let us be together. But…fate had other plans for us and we got separated again. I have not seen Klaus or his family for over 100 years. Tonight, I suppose I should celebrate my reunion with my former mentor."
Hayley listened to the story very carefully and nodded, as she saw Jane Anne and Sophie whispering to one another. She felt for this guy, she really did and she as bad as she felt for him, she didn't want him to get hurt. She was also hoping that he wasn't planning on using her as a rebound girl for Klaus' sister. Then she remembered that she hadn't had a chance to try to get information out of him about her family. Before she could say something, Klaus and Cami stepped over to them and the music ended. "Klaus!" Marcel grinned at him and Klaus grinned back. "Mind swapping partners?" he asked him and Hayley rolled her eyes as she turned her head. Marcel grinned and nodded, saying goodbye to Hayley and taking Cami's hand, leading her onto the dance floor. Klaus was standing there and grinning at Hayley from ear to ear, "I suppose it's time to dance, little wolf." Hayley didn't complain as Klaus took her hand in his and placed the other one around his neck. As they got deeper into the melody and none of them saying a word, they let their eyes do all the talking, hazel ones looking deep into his magnificent blue ones. He leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Haven't gotten the chance to ask him about your family yet?" Hayley, without realizing it, wrapped her hands around his neck as his moved down onto her waist. "I haven't had the chance, seeing as you interrupted me from doing so." "Well, I'm sorry, love…but my problems happen to be bigger than yours." Hayley tried not to look unaffected by what he said and whispered, "So what is your evil mastermind up to now? How does dancing with me fit into your plan to earn Marcel's trust?" Klaus looked at her in the eyes and told her, "That is not the only plan."
She was sure that he was going to tell her of the plan now. She tried acting like she had no idea, like Jane Anne told her. She couldn't believe that Klaus would just tell her, after making it clear to Sophie and Jane Anne that he didn't want her to know. "What's the other plan?" Hayley simply asked him, looking at him deep in the eyes as they continued dancing to the slow music, not paying attention to any other people around them. "I don't know if I should tell you." Klaus finally said. "Why not? Are you afraid that I am going to tell someone?" "You have been getting close to Marcel, as I've noticed." His nostrils were flaring in anger now. "And that bothers you why?" Hayley asked him with a smirk. "You have said something like this before when we shared our last dance. It hasn't really worked out for you, has it, sweetheart? I have already informed you that what I care about is for you not to get in the way of my plan as I suspect you could if you get any closer to Marcel." Klaus responded, calmly. Hayley rolled her eyes as they continued dancing. "I don't think that we would have still had problems if you had just accepted to tell me about your new plan for tonight." Klaus frowned. "How did you know I am going to execute my plan tonight?" Hayley bit her lip and said, "I simply suspect it…otherwise, you wouldn't act so stressed." "I am not stressed!" Klaus nearly yelled in her face. "Yes, I can see that." Hayley giggled. Klaus looked at the time and he stopped dancing before the melody ended. Hayley looked at him confused but hid it with indifference. "If you didn't want to dance anymore, you could have just said so." Klaus chuckled and shook his head whispering, "I didn't know you were so eager to dance, love." "I'm not." "Whatever you say. I have to go." "What?" Before she could stop him, he was already gone.
The clock struck midnight and Hayley was looking through the crowd for Klaus. Jane Anne and Sophie were also nowhere to be found. Marcel stepped in front of her and stopped her with a smile. "Hayley!" She did her best to return the smile, even though she was concerned for the others. "What's going on?" he asked her. "Nothing. How are you doing? Did you have fun dancing with Cami?" "Yeah, I did, but I wanted to introduce you to someone very dear to me." Hayley raised her eyebrows. He trusted her that much? "Sure." She whispered as Marcel took her hand and the two of them headed upstairs. Hayley had the chance to check out his room. His master bedroom, at last. Once he opened the door, Hayley's eyes directed to the desk where many files had been placed by him. She wanted to check it out and see if she found anything about her family. "Davina!" Marcel called out and a girl stepped out from another room. She looked like she was no more than 16 years old, her eyes were a gorgeous brown and her hair was dark and long that it reached her back. She was wearing a nightgown. "Marcel, who is this?" she asked him. Marcel smiled and introduced Hayley to her. "Davina, I would like you to meet a friend of mine, Hayley Marshall." Davina frowned for one moment as she looked at Hayley and whispered, "Hayley, as in Klaus' wife?" This time, Marcel and Hayley looked at one another in shock.
Even though she was completely disgusted with the thought of it, Hayley tried not to be rude in front of Marcel's friend so she said, "Ew, no. He's just an ass. I don't have any connection with him whatsoever." She added a slight giggle to show that she was not actually bothered by the comment. This time it was Davina who was looking at her in confusion. Marcel went closer to her and asked her in a whisper, "Have you seen something?" Hayley couldn't understand what he meant. Davina looked at him for one moment before shaking her head and saying, "No. Sorry about that. You can't trust rumors these days." "Are you a witch?" Hayley finally asked her, realizing what Marcel meant. Davina nodded and said, "Marcel has been raising me for as long as I can remember. I never knew my real parents." Hayley turned to Marcel with a smile. "That is really noble of you, to adopt a child like that and take care of her. I never knew you to be that type." As the three of them stared at each other in silence for a couple of minutes, some sort of smell came close to Marcel's nose and he caught the scent at once. "Wolf!" he growled. Hayley could feel her heart leap into her chest. Had her human scent from the potion disappeared? Before she could open her mouth, one of Marcel's vampire friends, Diego burst inside and looked at them all before saying, "I saw one. Long and ruffled hair with a beard. He was running around here, apparently looking for something in your room." "Have you caught it?" "We lost him." Diego admitted and Marcel's rage could not be compared to anything. "Send men out into the bayou. I want that werewolf to be found immediately! And bring me his head." Marcel then turned to Hayley and said, "I'm sorry. I have to go." Before Hayley could say anything, he was already gone with Diego.
The floors began trembling and Hayley could see Davina's eyes turning white and she was ready to start writing something or more like draw something on a big pad. "Davina? Are you okay?" Hayley asked her but the witch looked like she was possessed and at once, she started to draw something, some sort of vision. The sight of the small witch being possessed was too much for Hayley, and she ran out of there as she got the chance. Downstairs, the party was going on just fine. It was as if nothing important was going on, even though Hayley knew that Klaus was putting his plan into action with Sophie and Jane Anne as she was being left behind to figure everything out. Davina was acting spooky and Marcel and Diego were outside with some other vampires, apparently looking for the lost werewolf. Hayley began to wonder what someone like him was doing in a place filled with vampires. She was getting more and more worried about the safety of her people. This werewolf…could be a part of her pack, her family. She gasped as she now realized what Marcel had just said to Diego. "Send men out into the bayou. I want that werewolf to be found immediately! And bring me his head." She knew she had to find this werewolf guy and warn him and if she could, she had to offer him safe passage back into the bayou.
"You can't do this! You told me that Katie was to be tricked into doing this!" Sophie yelled out at her sister as they reached the cemetery. "No. This is my plan and I am the one who is supposed to be risking things here. Not Katie. She doesn't deserve this, Sophie." "Does Klaus know?" "Yes, I told him." Jane Anne responded calmly as she set down her equipment and was ready to get back to the part where Marcel and the other vampires were waiting. "We don't have any other option here. You know what you need to do." Jane Anne whispered and kissed her sister's forehead as Sophie started crying. "Marcel is going to kill you. You know that he has his ways of finding out about these spells." Jane Anne shook her head. "Sophie, we were sent here to do a job and that job is going to get done, okay? You managed to find a way to bring both Klaus and Hayley into this town. You need to continue on with your work and find the secret weapon that Marcel is hiding. Our ancestors need the perfect sacrifice." "But I can't do anything without you. Have you lost your mind?" Sophie nearly cried out. "You can. And if something bad happens, you know that it will get fixed. Now, go." Sophie shook her head stubbornly and gave her sister one last hug, before she was pushed away to leave. Jane Anne sighed and settled down, getting her mind cleared and whispered to herself, "I am doing this for my family. You told me that we would offer you this sacrifice and everything will be all over. You told me you would protect my family. I expect you to do that…Esther." She whispered.
Hayley looked around on all the floors of the mansion as the music carried on in the courtyard and the alcohol was running through the veins of the humans, who had no idea what was going on. She was trying to find this man. She managed to get inside of Marcel's room, paying attention to make sure that nobody saw her, as she finally searched through those documents that she knew she saw on his desk. Maybe there was something in here that the werewolf needed, something that maybe she needed. Maybe whatever Marcel had been keeping from the werewolves could be her way back in. She searched through everything that he had in those drawers. There were also very old photographs. One in particular, she picked it up and noticed the year that it was taken, 1911. Marcel was standing there in a suit, with a woman, in a 20th century dress with curly short hair. The photos were black and white but Hayley could tell who the woman was. Rebekah Mikaelson, the sister of Klaus, and former lover of Marcel. She smiled for one moment as she saw them happily together, wondering how she never got the chance to see her in Mystic Falls. Her whole family was there. The only Original she had managed to see, speak to… and sleep with was Klaus. Looking at another photo, also taken in 1911, presented four people. There was Marcel on the left, with the same grin. Rebekah was right next to him. Next to Rebekah, was none other than Klaus himself, looking very handsome, something she could never admit to people. And right next to Klaus was another man, with aristocratic features and dark hair. As she looked at the back of the photo, she could see their names scribbled down. "Marcel Gerard accompanied by Rebekah, Klaus and Elijah Mikaelson." That was when she realized Elijah was another one of Klaus' brothers. Disappointed that she could not find anything that was useful in Marcel's drawers, and that she wasn't able to find the werewolf guy either, she decided to leave. As soon as she did, there was a scream from outside.
Jane Anne was performing magic like she never had before. The vampires were all trying to stop her as Sophie was nowhere to be found. Klaus had left the ballroom and was not standing outside, watching with a grin what Jane Anne was doing and how Marcel was reacting. "Get her!" he ordered to his vampires. As Jane Anne's magic continued and failed to affect the vampires in any way, she had been captured at long last and her magic stopped. Marcel grabbed Jane Anne by her throat and rose her up into the sky, as she chocked. "Let her go!" there was a loud yell and all the vampires turned around to find Hayley standing there. "She has failed to follow the rules of this city, Hayley. I'm sorry but she cannot be spared." "You told me that you are my friend! You would spare her life for friends!" Hayley continued to try to be persuasive. She frankly couldn't give a rat's ass about her friendship with Marcel and whatever crush he had on her. All she cared about was having people around her that could protect her in this Goddamn city and Jane Anne had been one of the few people willing to lend her a hand. Hayley owed her, her life. Marcel looked like he was loosening the grip on Jane Anne's throat when he started sniffing around something. He growled as he turned around and his eyes met Hayley's. "You're a werewolf!" he screeched. He let go of Jane Anne and once he did that, he came forward to her, wanting to grab her. Hayley was ready to make a run for it as Marcel launched himself at her when he felt being pushed away by none other than Klaus himself. Hayley looked at Klaus in shock that he was protecting her.
"You lied! You are a filthy wolf!" Marcel growled in anger as he stared at Hayley. "Yes, she is and you will not lay a hand on her." Klaus replied with a deathly look in his eyes. "You knew what she is?" Marcel asked him. "Of course I knew. I did sleep with her, haven't I?" Marcel looked angrier than ever when there was another female scream that could be heard. Klaus, Hayley and Marcel turned their attention towards the corpse of Jane Anne Deveraux, her head having been ripped away from her shoulders by none other than Diego. Hayley screamed in shock as she saw Jane Anne's life flash away. Marcel went over to Diego and grabbed him by his neck collar, saying angrily, "Who gave you permission to do that?" "You know you were going to do it anyway and you put me in charge of the slaughtering tonight, remember?" Diego tried to defend himself and Marcel finally let him go. Hayley covered her mouth in shock as she stared at Jane Anne, the witch now being dead. She could barely breathe, when she felt Klaus' warm hands on her shoulders and him whispering in her ear, "You need to get out of here and let me handle this." Hayley looked at him in confusion for one moment before she shook her head in confusion. "Just go back to the house." Klaus finally whispered, getting angry himself. Hayley pushed away from him and hissed, "You don't get to tell me what to do." "Fine! Then stay out of my way, love. Why should I care about what happens to you anyway? Your timing could not be more inappropriate." he stated. Hayley looked at him, disgusted and turned around and left the streets. Marcel and Diego were still going at it when Marcel swore that he was going to throw Diego in the garden and leave him there to think about never daring to disobey him again. Once, Marcel told his vampire followers to leave, he turned towards Klaus and had on a frown.
"How is it possible that the minute you return, I lose control of my city?" Marcel asked him. Klaus smirked and was about to cook up a good response but decided against it. Marcel was after all a good partner for him and he didn't want to lose him just yet. He needed more insight on what he was doing and how he has been keeping control of all the inhabitants of the city all this time. Klaus grinned and placed a hand around Marcel's neck. "You know that I have been your mentor for a very long time. We are friends. I would never intend on harming your little creation here." "If you are my friend, you would have told me about Hayley. Why didn't you? And why did you stop me from killing her? What is she to you?" "Rest assured that the only connection between Hayley and me happens to be a very poetic and misfortunate, drunken one night stand that we both regret. But tonight, I stopped you from doing something that I know you would later regret. You have grown fond of this girl. You are not going to end her life just because she kept her real species hidden from you. I know you, Marcellus." Marcel sighed and finally nodded. "You would know me better than anyone." He responded with a grin on his face. Klaus chuckled before his smile disappeared as he noticed Jane Anne's dead body on the ground. Trying hard not to show any signs of emotion towards this dead witch, he whispered, "What are we going to do about this?" Marcel shook his head and rubbed his forehead. "I suppose the party is over. I am going to retire. Do me a favor and take her body to her family, or at least her sister. Tell them the whole story. I will make sure Diego will be punished, but not severely, as it was Jane Anne who had provoked such a commotion tonight. Goodnight…friend." Marcel whispered to him and Klaus nodded.
Making sure that he was gone, Klaus pulled out his cell and made a quick call. He could hear her sobbing from the other line. His thoughts, had he not controlled them, would have told him to comfort her, but he wouldn't dare. He would not let his guard down for anyone. "Have you managed to do the spell?" he simply asked through the phone, his voice just as cold as any other day. "Yes…I found her." Sophie replied between sobs. She must have felt at once the death of her sister. It was a linking spell that they had created between them. It was an unbreakable bond, with which they could feel it if something bad happened to the other. "Her?" Klaus asked in confusion. "My sister just died! Forgive me if I find it difficult to explain it to you! Call me at a more reasonable time and screw your plan!" Sophie snapped at him and ended the call. Normally, he wouldn't have allowed anyone to talk to him like that, but he made an exception this time, deciding to let Sophie grieve the loss of her sister, as he retired to the governor's house late that night as well.
A/N: So, there was this plan between Jane Anne and Sophie Deveraux. They were sent by a powerful witch, one of their ancestors, to plan something big to gain power. I only revealed small bits of the plan in this chapter. I am going to let you guess what the Deveraux sisters have to do. Jane Anne's sacrifice was necessary and you will see why in a couple of chapters when a new character will arrive in New Orleans.
In the next chapter there will be more Klayley interactions, I promise you that, but I hope you enjoyed them in this chapter. Thanks for reading and leave a review, please!
