10) Decision
Hayley paced up and down the landing finding herself under pressure to make a decision.
Being alone in the compound left her with a lot of time to think and her thoughts were starting to disturb her now.
She wasn't as worried about The Mikaelsons, she knew Elijah would find Klaus and Rebekah; she had a strange instinct about it. Elijah would do anything to make his family happy, he would always protect them. Hayley often found this remarkable, the extent of his attempts to piece their broken lives, his undying loyalty. He was indeed noble...
Hayley then shook her head scolding herself for letting her thoughts wonder. She found that as much as she tried she seemed to always end up with him in her mind.
"Maybe I really do need some time away." Hayley sighed.
She had come to New Orleans to find her family and she had, so what on earth was she doing here.
Hayley soothed her baby bump. To keep her child safe was her answer.
But her family would do as much to protect her, wouldn't they? She had helped to break the curse after all. She as the last of her blood line, wolf royalty Jackson had called it and she hadn't really even given them a proper chance yet. What was wrong with her? All her life she'd been searching for this moment and now that she had it, she was letting it go. This wasn't like her. She needed to get to know them at least. She owed it to herself to be with them.
Hayley sighed.
Why was she finding it so difficult to make the decision to move out? Normally if she wanted something, she'd take it. So why wasn't she? What did she want?
She wasn't afraid, that was the last thing on her mind, so what was it?
Finally, once again it clicked.
"Elijah." Her mind flared his face revolving round in circles.
Hayley gripped her fists and scrunched her eyes shut in anger. Had she really loss that much control? Was she really succumbing to the feelings of a teenager? She didn't do teen drama, it was like her motto.
"That's it." Hayley spoke confidently, stopping from pacing.
"You've got to do this." She thought.
"I've got to move to out." She told herself and the decision was made.
