An hour later Eliza and Hayley look up hearing footsteps. The witches were back. "What going on?' I ask, placing a hand on my stomach protectively, wondering what the witches wanted now. One of the witches step forward saying "Sophie wants you to come outside."
Signing irritated at being ordered around by Sophie and her coven. I get up from the bench I was sitting on with Hayley by my side as the witches escorted us outside. "Is this really necessary? It's not like we're going to run or anything. Wouldn't get far in my condition anyway plus I'm not in the mood to die tonight." Eliza says bitterly.
Ignoring Eliza's rant, the witches continue to escort her and Hayley outside to Sophie. Hearing the creaking of the door opening at the entrance Eliza and Hayley walk out through the door and into the cold night air of the cemetery with the witches flaking them on all sides. Looking up ahead Eliza sees Sophie standing with a tall handsome man in a blue suit with short brown hair and eyes a deep dark chocolate brown that could pierce right through you.
Stopping in the front of Sophie and the man I ask "Who the hell are you?" The man didn't say anything just continue to stare at me in awe. Feeling uncomfortable under the man's glaze, I turned toward Sophie nodding toward the man "Who he?"
"This is Elijah Mikaelson."
"Klaus's brother?" Sophie nods confirming my question. Looking back over at the man called Elijah who was still staring at me" See something you like brown eyes." Finally breaking his glaze on me he turns toward Sophie "Give us moment please." Sophie nods and motion the other witches to follow while dragging Hayley along who protesting all the way.
"Wait just a minute. You're not leaving me alone with another Mikaelson. Being left alone with Klaus is what got me in this mess in the first place. Hey! I don't appreciate being ignore."
Turning back toward Elijah I glare at him, placing both my arms protectively on my stomach. Elijah holds up both hands in a surrender motion and speak in a soothing tone "I'm not going to harm you or the child. I just want to talk." Sending him one last glare I walked back into the place while I was being held hostage. I sit cross leg on the bench as Elijah walks back and forth. "So have they been holding you here against your will?"
"They lured Hayley and I into the bayou and grab us. Then perform all these weird witchy test on me. Not that I understand how this can happen. Vampires are dead. They can't have children."
"Perhaps if you knew my brother's story if might explain how this possible." Elijah walks over to me "Here if I may" getting ready to place his hand on the side of my head. Pulling away from his hand I ask "What are you doing?" I asked looking at him suspiciously.
"Relax." Elijah sits down beside me. "If you open your mind to me, I can show you. Still being a little bit suspiciously, I nod my head hesitantly. He gentle places both of his hands on the side of my head and I close my eyes opening my mind to him listening to his tale. "In the beginning our family was human. An thousand years ago now." Seeing the images in my head. I saw a beautiful girl with blond hair wearing a grey dress and a young handsome boy wearing gray shirt and brown pants.
"Come on, Henrik." The girl called out. "Our brothers are fighting again."
Watching as they ran to the where their brothers are fighting I continue to listen this Elijah's story. "Although our mother dabbled in the dark arts, we were largely just a family trying to survive at a time when it was quite difficult to do so." I look over at the two boys fighting recognize both Klaus and Elijah. They were both fantastic swordsmanship.
I kind of giggle a little in my head when Klaus swipe Elijah's belt. Elijah was right. His family look happy.
"And for better or worse were we happy."
"That is, however, until one night. Our youngest brother was killed by our village's greatest threat."
"Mother!" I saw Rebekah running toward Klaus who was holding their youngest brother in his arms. He places Henrik's body onto the ground. "Men who could transform themselves into wolves during the full moon. Our family was devastated none more than Niklaus."
I could feel my heart break at his and Klaus's youngest brother's death. I would be devastated too if something happen to Hayley. "Desperate to protect the rest of us, our father forced our mother to call upon her black magic in order to make us stronger." Seeing someone cut a woman's arm with a sharp knife. I hear a man yelling at them to "drink, drink!
I watch as Rebekah and Klaus bites into the woman's arm drinking the blood. "Thus the first vampire were born, but with this speed, this strength, this immortality, came a terrible hunger. No one felt this hunger more than Niklaus"
Seeing Klaus feeding on the woman to the point of her death. He drops her body on the ground. "When he killed for the first time, we truly knew what he was." Hearing Klaus scream as his bones break was heartbreaking. I could hear every snap of his bones and it made me flinch.
"Niklaus!" Looking up, I see Elijah coming into the clearing running toward Klaus "What's happening to me?" Klaus calls out in agony.
I see another man stopping Elijah for coming any closer "No. Don't. Don't" The man pushes Elijah back away from Klaus.
"Father! It hurts!" Klaus yells out. I cringe as I hear more breaking of his bones. Klaus then arched his back and lets out a growl.
"He's a beast, an abomination." Mikael spat. Klaus looks up at Mikael and Elijah with his eyes a glowing yellow.
"He wasn't just a vampire." Elijah told me removing both of his hands from the side of my head. "He was a werewolf." I said opening my eyes back up. Looking at Elijah I said "that's how the werewolf curse works. Elijah nods his head. "It isn't activated until you take a life." I know the pain Klaus went through, because Hayley and I felt the same pain when we took a life. I would be forever haunted by that memory.
"Niklaus was the result of an indiscretion. Our mother had hidden from us all, an affair with a werewolf like yourself." What it is with werewolves and this family, I thought.
"Infuriated by this betrayed, my father forced our mother to cast a spell that would suppress Klaus's werewolf side, denying him any connection with his true self."
Looking over at Elijah" You dad was dick." He chuckle a little and smile a little. "I'm Eliza, by the way." I stick my hand out for a shake." Elijah shakes my hand.
Still shaking my hand I said "You should probably know that if you're going to tell me your life story." Releasing my hand "I know yours. Your family is legendary. Your brother is a notorious psycho, who I slept with. Classic me." I told him sarcastically.
"I can't excuse his behavior. But you must understand when his father hunted him, he hunted us." Elijah gets up from the bench to pace again.
"For centuries. Every time we found a moment of happiness, we were forced to flee, even here in New Orleans, where we were the happiest of all."
"Not long after Klaus broke the spell which prevented him from becoming a hybrid, he defeated our father. I thought this would make him happy." Elijah shakes his head. "He was angrier than ever."
"I wonder if perhaps this baby might be a way for my brother to find happiness, a way to save him from himself." Elijah was looking attentive toward me. Oh boy. I'm in deep trouble. Nice going Eliza, you've really gotten yourself into a mess this time.
Hearing footsteps I look over at Sophie entering "I'm glad you feel that way, because we need your help."
"What precisely is it that you want and what does it have to do with this young woman?"
"We want to run Marcel and his vampires out of town. Klaus is the key. Everything Marcel knows about being a vampire he learned from Klaus. Marcel trusts him, looks up to him. He won't see the betrayal coming."
"Yes. Well as I'm sure you're aware, my brother Niklaus doesn't like to be told what to do." Eliza scoffs a little.
"That's an understatement, Elijah." He smiles a little at my comment.
Sophie ignores Eliza's comment "that's why I brought you here."
"Marcel droves the werewolves out of town decades ago. Do you really think he's going to welcome a hybrid baby to the neighborhood?"
Seeing Sophie nod in my direction, I put my arms around my stomach protectively. I wouldn't let Marcel or anybody hurt my daughter. If they did, I will kill them all one by one.
"Convince Klaus to help us and no one has to know about the newest member of the original family."
"Your all heart, aren't you Sophie." I said bitterly.
"That sound remarkably like blackmail" Elijah says to Sophie quietly. Too quietly in my opinion. You can hear the anger ease in his voice at this new threat.
"Like I said I'm desperate." Sophie says starting the original down.
Elijah takes a deep breath, smiles a big smile and then tones it down saying" Well then. I've got my work cut out for me, don't I?" Sophie crosses her arms and nods still starting the original down.
Watching Elijah leave, I wait for the witches to send Hayley in. Hearing footsteps I look over as Hayley walks back in. She sits down beside me.
"How did it go with Mr. Tall, dark and handsome? She smiles.
"Were screw Hayley." I said not in the mood for her jokes.
"Sophie threating to tell Marcel about my daughter and now I'm hoping and praying that Elijah can get through to Klaus, because I don't want lose you or my daughter. He's the only person I can relied on at this moment." Hayley's smile disappears realizes the situation at hand.
"Please god, please, let Elijah get through to Klaus."
While waiting for Elijah to return with Klaus. I lean on my sister's shoulder letting her comfort me. "I'm so glad you're here Hayley, I wouldn't be able to do this alone."
"You'll never have too. I'll stay with you throughout this whole ordeal. I'll even stay to deal with the morning sickness, night time craving, and the mood swings." I laugh and hug Hayley tightly to me. I was so thankful to have a sister like Hayley.
Hearing Klaus's voice, Hayley and I get up from the bench walking outside toward Klaus with the witches following behind me. Here we go. "Klaus." I called out his name.
