A/N: guest thanks for wonderful reviews. Yes he wanted her out of his life because she is a constant reminder of some one he once loved. But the thing is that it is not that simple for Klaus to do that. He had these strong feelings for someone and then he meets someone who reminded him of her… it would be difficult for anyone in his situation to know what to do. I will tell you all this that Elijah and hayley will not have any romantic relationship :)
Hope you like this chapter too.
Synopsis: Klaus has an unfriendly encounter with someone from his past and uncovers some secrets.
Hayley was so angry at Klaus that she didnt feel like listening to Elijah and said angrily "No Elijah he offered me help, I am not here because I wanted to live here in the first place. Now he wants me gone so I will go".
ELijah said "Hayley listen to me, you cannot go especially not right now. Once you break the curse you can do whatever you want to do. I will not stop you".
Hayley stared at him and then nodded reluctantly.
Next day when Elijah knocked at her room, no one answered. He pushed the door open and entered. He suddenly had a bad feeling as he saw the bed not slept in. He took out his cell and called her. The ringing tone coming from the room told him that she has left it behind her. He hurried out and bumped into Klaus who was coming upstairs.
Klaus saw his expressions and asked him "what happened?"
ELijah snapped at him "she is gone".
Klaus felt his heart sank but he said "okay good. She has found her family so why not?"
ELijah siad in frustration "Niklaus!"
and then brushed past him and was going down when Klaus said "the only condition she can come back in this house is if you want her for yourself other then that she is no longer welcome".
Elijah stopped, looked at his determined face and then nodded and left leaving Klaus feeling totally shattered as he realized that he had been right about his brother and Hayley's relationship.
Elijah was lost in thought about Klaus and Hayley and how to get them on a common ground on the drive to the bayou. He got out and walked towards the hut where Hayley had brought him a couple of weeks ago. He entered and saw Hayley sitting there reading that book.
She at once stood up and said "Elijah what are you doing here?"
Elijah leaned against the door and said "trying to figure out how to persuade you to come back".
Hayley said "I will never go back after the way he treats me".
Elijah said after taking a long breath "Hayley, I need to tell you something about Niklaus".
Hayley said shaking his head "I am not interested Elijah. I am just carrying his child not interested in him. I thought we could find a common ground but I realize that is not happening so why torture both of us. I will break this curse and will be moving in with my pack so why not now".
Elijah looked at Hayley and said "Hayley I promise that I will not stop you from moving in here once you have broken the curse but right now please come back. I promise that Niklaus will not say anything inappropriate to you again and you know I keep my word".
She stayed quiet for some time and then nodded. The drive to home was quiet one during which Elijah realized that he needed an ally to resolve klaus and Hayley's issue and then he smiled as he realized who that ally will be.
Hayley went straight to her room after getting home whereas Elijah went to his room and called her.
He said as the call got connected "Rebekah how are you?"
Rebekah asked in alarm "Elijah, is everything okay?"
Elijah said "more or less but I need you".
He could hear the hesitation in her silence and said "Rebekah there is a new development in our lives and I would appreciate it if you can come over".
He waited for a few seconds when he heard her resigned voice "okay I will be there in a few days".
Elijah said "thank you Rebekah" and put the cell down.
In the afternoon when Klaus came home, he instantly knew that she was back from her scent. He didnt know how he felt about this. Knowing that she and Elijah were together was a punch to his heart but then he said to himself 'he will not happen again. he will not let that happen again. He will protect her and that he should be happy for them'.
He went to the living room and saw her sitting quietly opposite Elijah reading some book. Klaus looked at her across the room and realized there was something different about her. As he was looking at her, she looked up and caught him looking at her. He felt flustered and said "Elijah I am thinking of taking down Marcel once and for all".
Elijah looked at him and said "Niklaus you will be starting a war if you do that".
Klaus couldn't help but notice Hayley's eyes dart to Elijah. He said "we always knew that a war would have happened eventually".
Elijah said "I think we can avoid it. We should continue to take apart his kingdom piece by piece".
Hayley couldn't help but say "I think Elijah is right".
Klaus looked at her and said sarcastically "of course love, Elijah is right".
He said to Elijah "okay one more month and then by my way". When Elijah nodded he went upstairs.
He couldn't sleep. she was in his mind. She has managed to make space for herself in his heart without his consent and that he wouldn't allow and when his brother had fallen for her and she loves him too.
Next morning when he came down he saw her sitting in the living room. Seeing her managed to make his heart beat fast for the third time after meeting her.
Klaus asked her "where is Elijah?"
Hayley rolled her eyes and said "you do know that we are not married right?"
He ignored her sarcastic sentence and said as he saw her getting up and heading towards the main door "where are you going?"
She said again "and that we are not married too".
KLaus took a deliberate deep breath to calm the anger starting to build up in him and said "you are not going to the cemetery alone".
Hayley said adamantly "I would like to see you stop me".
She took one step but Klaus whooshed in front of her and stopped her path. She stared into those blue eyes and said "Klaus get out of my way".
When he didn't move, she said "if you want to come with me, you are most welcome but nothing will stop me from meeting Sabine today. I need to find out what is she upto. She has not contacted me for a while now and I need that spell".
Klaus stared at her determined face and said "okay lets go".
When they got to his car to her surprise klaus opened the car door for her and then smirked at her surprised reaction. After she got in, he went to the other side and drove towards the cemetery. It was very quiet drive when suddenly Klaus felt something strange. He looked at Hayley but she was looking out.
At last they reached the cemetery. When they reached the tombs, he spotted Sabine. Seeing her brought on that uncomfortable feeling again.
Sabine walked to them and said to Hayley with a smile "you dont trust me?"
Hayley said in confusion "what do you mean?"
Sabine looked at Klaus and said "you didnt have to bring a Mikaelsons. I was not going to harm you".
Hayley said with annoyance "have you found something".
Sabine said "yes, I have found the cure but you will have to wait till next full moon to get it".
Hayley asked "why?"
Sabine said "because I cannot make the potion before full moon".
Sabine then looked over her shoulder and sighed in frustration. Klaus spun around and took a frustrated sigh as he saw four five vampires marching down the cemetery.
He looked at Hayley and said "it is like as if you are a vampire magnet".
Hayley looked at him angrily and said "shut up".
She was suddenly taken aback when she saw a smile on his lips. He said as those vampires approached him "so gentlemen how can we help you".
One of them looked at Hayley and said "werewolves are not allow…"
before he could finish his sentence Klaus had jabbed in his heart and taken out his heart and then he did that to other one too whereas Hayley stepped back as third one stepped towards her and ducked when he jumped at her. She hastily looked around as she saw his fangs come out and grabbed a branch from the ground and picked it up but the vampire grabbed her from the stomach and threw her in the air. Hayley flew threw the air and fell on the ground with a thud with the vampire coming at her. She shifted the branch and it landed in his heart. Hayley sat up and at once she put her hand on her stomach and looked at Klaus who had appeared at her side out of no where.
Klaus saw Hayley flying in the air and he punched the vampire attacking him so hard that his heart flew from the back of her body. He turned just in time to see her jab the vampire attacking her. But then spun back when the fifth vampire jabbed a stake in his heart. He pulled the stake out and jabbed it in that vampire's heart.
He darted to her as he saw her sitting up. He gently put his hand behind her head to help her up and saw blood on his hand and realized that there was a gash on her head and then he heard her ask "is it okay?"
Klaus said "yes, just a cut".
She said in a panicked tone "no, the baby!"
At first he didnt understand and then he looked at her as the words sunk in. His gaze slowly met hers and he saw panic in them. She held his hand with her other hand and put it on her stomach unconsciously and asked again "can you hear the heartbeat. Is it okay?"
At the panic in her voice he looked at her stomach where his hand was resting on top of hers and that is when he heard a faint heartbeat. He could heart her heartbeat and another faint heartbeat. He felt as if his heart with explode at the sudden rush of emotions which he didn't know he had. He suddenly realized that she was asking him something.
He looked at her as his ears registered "Klaus?!"
He nodded and said without realizing that his voice had reduced to a whisper "yes the baby is fine".
He then bit his wrist and put it near her lips as he saw her calming down. She said "I will heal. Remember, I am a werewolf".
He said quietly "the baby's heart beat is faint Hayley".
Hayley looked into his eyes and then with some hesitation she held his wrist and put her lips on his wrist.
She felt a weird sensation as the blood touched her lips. She couldn't steer her eyes from Klaus's which were weird right now. There was no anger or annoyance in them only concern and questions and then she pushed it back.
He asked her "can you walk?"
Hayley nodded now starting to feel panicked at the realization that Klaus knows. She got up and said "I need to get more details from Sabine"
Klaus looked at her sharply and said "not now Hayley. Lets go"
She followed him to his car. He was quiet during the drive home. The silence was making her nervous.
When they reached home he sat in the car prompting her to sit there too. He had his hand on the steering wheel and asked her without looking at he "does Elijah know?"
Hayley said "yes".
She saw her knuckles tightening on the steering wheel and prepared himself for her outburst but looked at him in shock when he asked "whose is it?"
She didn't know how to tell him so the first answer that came to her mind was "someone I met last month in the bayou".
She saw him pursing his lips and nodding his head.
And then he got out of the car and went inside leaving her behind. She cursed herself for lying to him and then got out and walked in too.
When she entered the house five minutes later he was no where to be seen. She went up to her room and sat down on the bed with a heavy heart. For the first time in weeks she wished that she could tell him, it was his baby. Then she got up, took a deep breath and went to take a shower to clear her mind. Standing under the hot shower helped her think clearly. She closed her eyes and let the water flow on her body when a pair of blue concerned eyes popped into her mind out of nowhere. She opened her eyes and still those eyes were there. Her heart starting beating fast as she looked at her hands and realized that she could still feel his touch on them.
Klaus was pacing his room with sinking heart at this development in his life. He cursed himself for letting his heart warm for her. He said to himself "it was not supposed to happen. Never". He threw the lamp on the ground in anger and then went to the bathroom to wash the anger and the blood off of him.
Klaus came downstairs after an hour and saw Elijah sitting int he living room. He went to him and said "for how long have you known brother?"
Elijah looked at him in confusion and asked him "what?"
Klaus smiled sarcastically and said "really?!"
When he continued to look confused Klaus said "Hayley being pregnant Elijah".
Elijah slowly stood up and said "she told you?"
kLaus said walking towards the liquor cabinet and taking out a drink "not willingly".
Elijah asked him in alarmed voice "what do you mean?"
Klaus turned towards him and said knowing fully well what Elijah was thinking "We were in a small fight and she got injured and it slipped from her mouth".
Elijah asked him "how is she?"
When Klaus didn't say anything Elijah said "you helped her?"
Klaus snapped at him "No I let her bleed to death".
Hearing those words from Klaus's mouth Elijah realize how stupid of a question he had asked.
He said "pardon me brother for doubting your care for…"
Klaus cut him off by saying dismissively "I don't care about her Elijah. I cared about someone else who by some weird coincidence looked somewhat like her".
he stopped for a second and then asked him "so have you met him?"
Elijah asked in confusion "who?"
Klaus yelled "the father".
Elijah stared at him and then he saw Hayley standing at a distance from over his shoulder.
Hayley was coming downstairs when she heard his yell "the father".
She hurried down and saw Elijah looking at Klaus who had his back to her. Their eyes met over his shoulder and she shook her head.
Elijah realized that she had not told him. Klaus noticed his gaze and turned around and saw her standing at a distance.
He looked back at Elijah who said "no" still staring at Hayley. Klaus turned around and said "I am going out".
When he left Elijah waked to her and said "you have not told him Hayley?"
Hayley said in confused tone "he asked me out of blue and I couldn't tell him".
Elijah asked her "are you ever going to tell him Hayley? I cannot keep this a secret from him for long".
Hayley said "I don't even know how to explain this. He is a vampire Elijah".
Elijah said "No Hayley, he is not a vampire, he is a hybrid which means he is party werewolf and may be it was that part of him that made it possible".
She said sternly "Elijah you promised you will not tell him and you told me you always keep your promises".
She stared at Elijah until he nodded and then she turned and went upstairs.
For the next few days Hayley spend as less of a time as she could in the house. Ever since she told Klaus about her pregnancy she has been starting to feel nervous around him. She would leave for the bayou to avoid seeing Klaus. Every time their gaze met there was something in his eyes that she couldn't understand. She would wonder 'is it accusation or anger or frustration or a secret'. Another change she had noticed was that his behavior towards her changed. If he was not avoiding her then he was polite to her which was starting to make her more nervous for some weird reason and on those occasions she would tell herself to tell him but she didnt know how to explain that lie.
Klaus was having a really hard time sharing the same living space with her. He had often caught Elijah looking at Hayley and wondered 'what would he be thinking? the love of his life carrying someone else's child?' Thinking of Hayley as the love of Elijah's life was causing him a lot of hurt but he was starting to come to terms with it by reminding himself that Hayley was not Liz. He had started spending less and less time at home. He would leave early in the morning and come back way late into the night.
That day too when he came home he wondered 'Is he spending too much time away from home, with Cami and Marcel?' He questioned himself about the weird vibe that he had started to have now after spending time with Cami. He couldn't quite exactly figure out what it was but it has started to make him uneasy. It took him by surprise when he realized that he had told Cami about Liz. But then he told himself "why should he? she is writing his memories so why not? Cami was a good listener even thought it irked him sometimes when he got the impression that she was not enjoying their time together. but that makes sense, he has compelled her to do all that without her consent. But she was proving to be useful. She was becoming Davina's friend and had managed to gain her trust, listening to him rant". He smiled as he remembered her annoyed face at all of his rants and went to bed but to his annoyance the last thing before he got a shut eye was those hazel brown eyes along with green eyes stalking his mind.
A week later of Klaus finding out her pregnancy she came down and saw Elijah in the living room. She went to him and said "Elijah what is it?"
Elijah looked at her and asked her in alarm "Hayley, is everything okay? Why are you up? It is very late. Is it the baby?"
Hayley smiled and said "yes everything is fine. I just came down to get some water. I wish I could drink something other than water but I cannot" she smiled at the end of the sentence.
Elijah looked at her for a while when she asked him "you are worried, what is going on?"
He said "I am worried about Niklaus. He has been spending too much time with Marcel lately. His obsession to take over this city from Marcel will cost him more then he realizes right now".
Hayley said indifferently "don't worry about him. He is a hybrid, he can take care of himself".
Elijah looked at her with amusement and said "you don't feel anything for him?"
Hayley felt flustered and said "yes a lot nervous lately. Keep on thinking how will he react if I tell him who the real father is".
Elijah said "you should tell him. No doubt he will be shocked at first but he will be happy Hayley. He needs to know that".
Hayley sat down after taking a deep breath and said "I know. I will tell him but in the mean time you will not tell anyone".
Hayley asked after some quiet "where is he now?"
Elijah said "I don't know. Perhaps with Marcel".
Klaus entered the compound and stopped as he saw Marcel standing with Tyler in the courtyard. He stared at Tyler's angry demeanor and laughed. He said "what are you doing here?"
Tyler scoffed and said "I am here to kill you Klaus, you killed my mother you bastard".
Klaus smirked and said "and how will you kill me? As for your mother you should have thought of your mother before you went against me".
He saw Marcel shift next to Tyler.
Tyler said "it was a good plan if that bitch Hayley had not double crossed us".
It took all his will power to stop the reaction. He said coldly "And how did she do that?" whereas he noticed Marcel's eyes fixated on him in confusion.
Tyler said "she double crossed us. She helped us break the sire bond so that we can kill you and then she said that it was all a plot to get those hybrids killed".
Klaus had a vivid image of someone handing over a note to him on the christmas party warning him about those hybrids trying to take him down. He smiled as he realized that he was played too at the same time he felt a sinking in his heart that Hayley had played such an important role in getting his hybrid family killed. He wondered why he was feeling that way, he didnt even know her back then. He shook his head and told himself to concentrate on present. He looked at Marcel and said "so what do you want now?"
Marcel said "I want you to leave Klaus. this is my town, my house. Leave".
Klaus laughed sarcastically and said "your town?! that M on that wall does not stand for Marcellus, it stands for Mikealsons, Marcel and you took it from us. I am just here to get it back".
Marcel looked at him and then after a while said "then I will push you out Klaus" and he whistled. Courtyard got filled with vampires. Klaus looked around and laughed menacingly and said "Marcel, I cannot die".
Marcel said "i have a place for you Klaus. I know you cannot die. I know if you die, I die".
When Klaus looked at him questioningly he said "Tyler here told me about bloodline. Interesting discovery. Sorry to hear about Kol and Finn".
Hearing that from his mouth Klaus couldnt control his anger. He looked around and then put his hand in his jacket pocked and after a few seconds he took it out with a smile. He threw it on the ground and said "who ever picks that up, I will spare him or her".
He looked around but no one dared it and his eyes fell on Josh who was standing in the corner of the room. Klaus smirked and then turned to Marcel and said "lets start".
And then all hell break loose. Marcel stood there in agitation as he saw his vamps trying to take him down. At one point they managed to get him tied in chains but then to his shock Klaus changed into his hybrid form and started slashing his vamps as they were insects. He looked around as he saw bodies of his army and then at once without thinking he picked up the coin and yelled "enough"
Klaus whose fangs were sunk in a vamp neck stopped and looked at Marcel with triumph expression and said "good decision"
He walked to him and looked at him and said "I want this house back. It was mine and I want it back. If you wan to co-rule with me you are welcome but if not then… " he gestured towards the exit.
Marcel stared at Klaus for a moment and then nodded. Klaus smirked and then in a flash speed he broke Tyler's neck. He stared at tyler's limp body and said "an addition in your collection in garden as a token for our new partnership".
he turned and left before Marcel could say anything else.
The drive to the plantation house was tense as Tyler's words kept on replaying in his mind. He went in the house feeling down, proud, angry about what had happened in the compound and stopped when he spotted them in the living room.
Elijah and Hayley looked at him in shock as they spotted blood on his clothes, hands and mouth. Elijah darted to him and asked him "what happened brother?"
Klaus said dismissively "Tyler Lockwood and Marcel happened".
he noticed Hayley shift on her spot and say "Tyler?!"
Elijah said "what?"
Klaus said dismissively "yes he came to take revenge for me killing his mother".
Hayley said "what did he tell you?"
Klaus stared at her without saying anything.
Elijah said "what happened?"
Klaus said indifferently "he tried to make Marcel against me and one thing led to another and we had a little difference of opinions and a bit fighting and here I am. I have defeated Marcel and taken back our home from him. I am moving in there. If you two want to join me you are welcome. After all it was our family home and hayley is family now, isn't she brother?"
Elijah was so lost for words that he just stared at him. Klaus giving Hayley one disappointing look and went upstairs.
Hayley saw him going up with heavy heart. After a few seconds Elijah looked at her and said "I am going to bed. Why don't you sleep too?"
She still stood there watching him go up and then she headed upstairs too. She stopped for a second at her door and then head to his room. The door was open so she pushed it further and entered. He was not in sight so she stood there awkwardly looking around. The bathroom door was closed and she could hear the water running. She wondered whether she should leave or stay. She was wondering that when she heard the door open. Klaus came out pulling his shirt down and wanting to lie down when he saw her standing in his room. He said "I didnt know you like my room so much Hayley!"
She stared at his unsmiling face and said "you know?!"
Klaus shook his head and said "doesn't matter".
She said "you have to understand…"
Klaus raised his hand and said "not interested".
She stared at him for a few seconds and then said in a defeated voice "Shane promised me that in exchange of twelve unsired hybrids he will give me information about my family"
Klaus stared at her face and said "how come our path never crossed after our meeting in Tyler's home?"
Hayley said in a whisper "I didnt want you to know my hand in all of this"
Klaus took a step towards her and said "why not?"
She shook her head and said "you had given me that information and … "
Klaus smirked and said "but that didnt stop you from getting my hybrids killed".
When she didnt say anything he said in a cold voice "I am tired. I want to sleep".
He turned away from her and went to his bed and fell on it face down while Hayley stood there looking at him lying face down for a while and then quietly left the room with a heavy heart.
When she reached her room, she felt miserable. She wondered why was she feeling that way. It was just Klaus. Why was she thinking about him all the time these days. Was she falling for him? the question shocked her. She shook her head vigorously but then those accusing blue eyes flashed before her eyes and thinking about him she went to sleep.
Next morning when she was coming downstairs Elijah and Klaus were standing in the foyer talking. Klaus was saying "we will be moving in the afternoon".
His eyes met Hayley's who was descending from the stairs and then turned and left the house.
Hayley said "what happened?"
Elijah rubbed the back of his neck and said "Marcel and Niklaus fight last night was a big deal. He say that things are okay but I don't trust it. Marcel will not accept his defeat at my brother's hand in front of his vampires that easily".
Hayley said "so what are you thinking?"
Elijah said "be careful perhaps. Anyway today we are moving to the compound".
He then added "I have some business to attend, will be back in a few hours". After giving her one last glance he left.
Hayley went to the living room and took out her cell to talk to Sabine when he heard the sound of the bell. She went to open the door and saw a young blonde standing there. She asked her "who are you?" but she was just staring at her.
