Previously, on Double Hearted, Andrea learned of her new position as future Queen of her pack, given to her by her parents and Victor. She and Jackson spent their first night together in passion, while Klaus dealt with Celeste's disappearance, demanding Elijah's help who was mending his problems with Camille and Caroline left New Orleans. Afterwards, Hayley woke up in her body and experienced some changes, which led Eve to believe that she is now carrying a child. Certain of that issue, Hayley went back to the bayou to tell Klaus, which ended up with him sending her away.
PLOT: Realizing the mistake he has made by infiltrating in Klaus' relationship with Hayley, Elijah goes on a search for Celeste, determined to bring her to justice and get the cure. Meanwhile, Klaus pays Sophie a visit and demands that she looks into another matter, while Andrea makes an extraordinary discovery. Jackson makes a demand in front of Rowan, upon finding out about the pregnancy, which enrages Klaus. Finally, Sophie and Marcel reveal the parents of the child in the Labonair body and Andrea makes a move to disappear, as Elijah and Celeste have their long-awaited confrontation, putting Sabine in danger.
"Love, I believe you should go." "What?" "I think it would be best if you stay with your family today." "Klaus…" "Leave, Hayley. I have some errands I must run." "Do you even want me to come back at all?!" For Elijah, this was a huge price to pay, but it had to be done. He had noticed the way his brother looked at the werewolf girl. He was enchanted and perhaps, even more than that. But pregnancy changes things. Elijah had learned of the curse and had also learned how taken Niklaus was by it. Due to the way he badly wanted the heart of the Labonair heiress, he was going to go to any lengths to get her free of the curse. But this also came with a price of his own and Hayley's price was having to spend nine months of her life, carrying a child which was her twin sister's. "I hope you are pleased with yourself." Klaus whispered as soon as he came face to face with his brother. Elijah had no apologetic look on his face but seeing the sorrow his brother was not very well hiding, he had to understand that his younger brother was feeling connected to the werewolf girl. He wanted her. And now, it all seemed as a fantasy.
"Why should I be pleased?" Elijah asked and Klaus crossed his hands over his chest. "Well, was it not you who suggested that I cut her loose a few moments ago? Now, she seems to be under the impression that I have a problem with her new condition." "But you do." Klaus parted his lips and then frowned, stepping forward and he jabbed his finger into his brother's chest. "You had no right to make that decision for me, brother! I wanted her here…to keep her safe…" "You wanted to get her into your bed and make her yours, when you have forgotten that she is not yours to begin with. She and her sister share a body, a body which now belongs to a certain heir in that bayou, the heir who impregnated that body. I do not wish for this drama to have an impact on us and our business, hence the reason I told you to let her go. Is that really difficult for you to understand?" Klaus pulled back his finger and whispered, "She is not like other girls." "That may be so, but it still doesn't change the fact that she is pregnant now. What are you really going to do, Niklaus? What would you have planned to do had she stayed here? Would you have been able to look at her the same way as you had before?"
"Her condition is not her fault! It is that bastard's, who fooled around with her sister without her permission!" "As opposed to you, brother, is that right?" "What are you talking about?" "Have you asked for the permission of the sister or of the parents before you slept with Hayley?" Elijah posed the question. There was another pause as Klaus stared into his eyes and then he whispered, "I do not have an idea as to why I have decided to follow your lead this time, brother. Letting Hayley go was not a smart move. Even if it is that lad's child with her sister…she is mine. I need her and I intend to break her curse." "Is she a property of yours? Niklaus, can you not hear yourself at this moment? Can you not understand how paranoid you sound at this point? How can she belong to you? How can you be so self-absorbed as to think that you have any right on a person?" "I have marked her as any wolf would do. Please remember that I am part wolf, Elijah and I will always be, no matter how hidden that part of me may be. I do not need to explain to you my intentions with Hayley, but you had no right to make me push her away as so." Realization dawned upon Elijah's face as he realized how serious Klaus looked.
This was not just another fling for him. His own brother was prepared for something real. Klaus Mikaelson…the slaughterer, killer of men, women and children, his demonic half-brother…he felt a strong pull towards this werewolf heiress, and he wanted her at all costs. "Niklaus…" Elijah started saying and then he put his hand on Klaus' shoulder, looking at his straight in the eyes. "You must have explained to me. I had no idea that the pull towards this girl was this strong." "This Jackson Kenner may have impregnated her through her sister, and if this is a plot created by him to make me step aside…I will find out. And I will rip his heart from his body. I can guarantee you that." "You do so and you will lose Hayley. Listen to me, Niklaus. You must listen to me. I beg of you. Do not make enemies in that pack. We need the pack. We need their allegiance. We will not be able to control them otherwise. You know that. Just as we are to keep our alliance with the witches intact. Jackson Kenner is to live. We will deal with one problem at a time and for once in your life, I am begging you to listen to me." "I have nothing more I can possibly say to you, brother. Hayley is currently upset with me because I followed your advice, but that is to change."
"What are you going to do?" Elijah asked him. "I am going to do what I do best. I am going to go haywire on anyone who stands in the way of what I desire and Hayley is the one I desire. The plan continues, brother. We will break Hayley's curse together and when this is all finished, I can finally concentrate on making this city mine, as it always should have been." "But Marcel…" "Marcel can find his peace alongside Cami or Sophie or whoever he pleases. He is not meant to rule and you and I know that better than ever. Now onto more pressing matters…we have already spoken of Celeste Dubois' disappearance. I am putting you in charge of finding her since the witches seem to be doing a poor job of that." "And why does it have to be me? Why not send Marcel?" "Because as I recall, it was you the one who had a romantic entanglement with her in the past and therefore it is you the one who will have the better chance of getting her back." Elijah opened his mouth to argue but Klaus cut him off. "I want the witch before me with the cure in her hands or on her lips. I do not care if you have to break parts of her body in order to obtain it."
"Niklaus, my relationship with Celeste ended a very long time ago. She regrets ever meeting me because it was because of me that she died." "Not to worry, brother. It was I the one who drove her to her death. You are not to blame and I am certain that she will be satisfied to see you." "I do not know where she can possibly be." "If you do not know where she could be, no one can know. Sail through time, back when the two of you were unable to keep your bodies away from each other and you shall find her special location." "And what shall you be doing in the meantime, Niklaus?" "I will be paying Sophie Deveraux a visit." Klaus moved to the door but Elijah stopped him at once by grabbing a hold of his hand. "Niklaus, you must understand that if you continue to push that girl…" "I am perfectly capable of how to deal with witches and this is a personal matter, one which I am sure Sophie Deveraux will accept to help me with. You find Celeste and in regards to what happened between Hayley and me, let's just say…we will let bygones be bygones." "Are you saying that the only way you will forgive me for pushing Hayley away from you is through this quest?" "Ah, you know me so well, brother." Klaus replied with a smirk.
…
Sure enough, once Elijah had disappeared from the compound, Klaus checked his phone for any messages. It was getting late and the last thing he wanted was to look for Hayley, only to make matters worse. He decided that he would offer her the space she wanted. But his rage took over him as he punched the wall, letting his fist bleed at the thought of Jackson having laid his seed in her body like that. He was certain that without the control he had over himself, he would have gone into the bayou and ripped the lad's heart out of his chest immediately. Taking a deep breath, Klaus calmed his nerves with a bottle of scotch and thought back on his conversation with Hayley from the morning. He could remember how frightened she looked in front of him for the first time. Of course, a pregnancy would frighten anyone. And his little wolf was a strong woman. He refused to let her go through this alone. He had been immortal for centuries but he could feel like his heart had started beating again with something which resembled…hope. That was how he felt as he remembered parts of their conversation.
"Klaus…" "I am going to murder him!" he growled and kept his eyes closed. "No! You mustn't do anything to hurt Jackson! It would weaken the alliance you are trying so hard to building with my family. Please, understand me that I…this child could be…" "What? It is what?" "It could be…I know it seems impossible but Jackson and Andrea have only slept with each other yesterday…" Klaus closed his eyes and then started shaking his head at a rapid speed. He knew what Hayley was suggesting. But he knew as well as she did that it was impossible. The two of them had shared two nights of passion…but he was immortal. He had been for a very long time. There was no possibility that he could impregnate a woman, no matter if that woman was mortal. He couldn't think that low and yet…Klaus remained silent as he took another huge gulp from the bottle of scotch and rummaged through his thoughts. Then, looking at the clock, he realized how many hours he had wasted. He was now more than ever determined to see Sophie Deveraux. Only a witch could help him now.
The moment he arrived at the Lafayette Cemetery, Klaus looked around for her and sure enough, he saw Sophie sitting on a stone, working on some of her magic. She sensed him almost immediately. With a sigh, she whispered, "Look, if you're here to know about Celeste, just spare me the dictatorship, alright? We can't find her. She is too powerful. If anyone can do something now, it's you." "And you can rest easy, knowing that I am not here to criticize you in any way. As a matter of fact, I am here on business. I require your skills on a more personal matter." Klaus explained to her and Sophie furrowed her eyebrows, turning around and looking at him. "So you are not here to gauge my eyeballs or something?" "Love, you have me as your ally. And as for a fact, Elijah is the one dealing with the Celeste problem as we speak. I doubt that I would feel any need to act violent towards you." "That has never stopped you before with any of your allies." Sophie argued. "Very well, I am running out of time and out of patience. Hence, I am a few seconds away from letting the threats slip from my lips unless you get me what I need." Klaus snapped at her. "You are already getting the cure for Hayley and the wolves. What else do you need?"
"A pregnancy confirmation!" Klaus finally told her and Sophie's eyes widened. "That is an answer I couldn't have guessed even in a million years. What pregnancy? Who's pregnant?" "Can you help me or can't you?" Klaus asked her, getting pissed. "Well, I can help you because coincidently, I have that kind of power. It's a gift." "A gift?" "Yeah. Every witch is presented with a gift when she is born and that gift makes you special from the rest. It allows you to do something no other witch can and this is my special gift…of sensing when a girl is pregnant." "I already know that she is." "Then what do you need me for?" "I wish…" Klaus took a deep breath and closed his eyes before whispering, "I wish to know if there are chances of this baby being mine." He finally said and they remained in silence for a moment. "You actually think that you managed to knock some girl up? Who is she? Where is she? If it's possible, I need to inspect her."
"She's in the bayou at the moment and she cannot be taken from there." Klaus growled. "Hayley?" Sophie asked him and there couldn't be detected any surprise from the tone of her voice. "Yes." "She is pregnant?" "Yes. And she has just been informed that the Jackson Kenner heir of the North East Atlantics…had decided just yesterday to proceed with offering Andrea pleasure…" He couldn't even finish his sentence at the mere through of Jackson running his hands over Hayley's body. "I see…so you think that there is a slight chance that you could have impregnated Hayley?" "Yes. She believes there is." "And what do you believe?" "I find it difficult to imagine that this could have happened and yet, there is a part of me which does not wish to let this slide. I was wondering if you would help me and do it…as a favor." "You want me to discover if the child is yours?" "Yes." Klaus gave her the final response. "Alright. But for that, I need a cup of your blood." Sophie said and she threw one cup into his hands. Klaus stared down at it and then frowned, whispering, "How do I know that you will not do anything foolish using this blood against me?"
Sophie shrugged. "I guess that you just have to trust me this time. As you said…we are allies. There is no reason for me to want to make a move against you for now. So just give me your blood if you want to find out." Klaus stared at her darkly and then bit into his wrist and let his blood flow into the cup. "How do I know that your results will be sincere?" "What?" "How do I know that you will not lie to me?" Sophie rolled her eyes. "You really need to stop being so paranoid. I am just as curious about this as you are. And like I said, you are just going to have to trust me. Because if this baby turns out to be yours…we can all use this to our advantage." Klaus couldn't understand what she meant by that but knew better than to ask. "When will you be able to offer me the results?" "Tomorrow. Get some rest and don't worry about this." "Not worry? How could that even be considered a possibility when this child could be mine?" "Don't get too excited. The chances are very slim." Sophie whispered and he knew that she was right this time. He didn't even know how to feel about the possibility of this child being his. How would he react if it was? What would Hayley say?
Just thinking about her, made his heart ache again and thinking of the way Elijah convinced him to push her away from his life made him angrier. He was determined to get her back, no matter the cost and Jackson Kenner was going to pay for his sins one way or another. "Tomorrow?" Klaus asked Sophie in a whisper and the witch confirmed it with a nod. "Now, if you'll excuse me…I have some other matters I need to deal with myself. Agnes is a pain in the ass and Sabine has run off to God knows where to find Celeste." "You do what you need to do for me and I will spare you the search for Celeste. Leave that to me and to my brother." "You know that you will have to deal with Hayley's sister soon enough, don't you?" "Why would I need to do that?" "In case the child she is carrying is in fact yours." Sophie explained. "I have only ever come in contact with Andrea once and at that time, I was threatening her life." "Well, my advice is to try and make some peace with her. It will help you get closer to Hayley." Sophie suggested and Klaus was almost prepared to accept that advice.
Leaving the cemetery, Klaus let his thoughts drift away, to her beautiful hazel eyes and her seductive smile. He missed her. He missed her terribly. He promised to offer her what her parents had in an unrighteous way taken from her: her position as Queen. But she was not going to be a Queen of a measly pack. She would be his Queen. He could just imagine how much power they would have together. They would rule over empires. They would conquer an eternity. But all of this…it would have to stay a pipe dream.
…
Andrea gasped as she woke up the next morning and she immediately touched her forehead. It was as if some sort of pain had infiltrated her and forced her to wake up. Was it a warning? Or was it something trying to hurt her? "Eve?" Andrea tried calling out for her nanny and godmother. The woman did not come in as she used to. Sighing, she gave up trying to call her, knowing well that had it been Hayley coming, Eve would have come in a heartbeat. She could even guess why Eve was being this cold towards her. It was because she had given her body to Jackson at last, even though the body belonged to Hayley as well. She had needed her sister's consent, but they had never even met. They only knew things about each other from what their parents had told them or Eve. But they had never been able to speak to each other…until this day. Andrea touched her forehead again and headed towards the back of the room from where she got some towels. Then, she headed out to the river, where she usually bathed. The sun was shining brightly and there was no one around even though it was very late in the morning.
"We're pregnant." A voice suddenly whispered inside of Andrea's mind and she gasped and turned around, afraid that someone had been watching her bathe in the river. But she was all alone, no one around, not even Jackson. Andrea bit her lip and then she turned around and bathed in silence when she heard that voice again coming from somewhere and she panicked. In her heart, Andrea felt like she knew what she as hearing and from where she was hearing it. "We're pregnant. Please, you have to let me see him." The voice whispered in her mind again and Andrea immediately raced out of the river and covered herself with a towel. Certain that no one was watching, she went inside her cabin and looked at herself in the mirror. "Hayley?" Andrea found the courage to speak her name and at once, she felt a humongous amount of pain in her mind which sent her flying to the other side of the room. She gasped and straightened, thinking it impossible for her sister to try and hurt her in any way. Walking back to the mirror, she could hear the voice inside of her mind again.
"Andrea, can you hear me?" a small voice asked and Andrea could only respond with a "Yes." Still in extreme shock of what was happening. "My sister, at last we can speak." Hayley said with a sigh and Andrea touched her forehead. "How is this possible? Why couldn't we do something like this before? What's happening?" "I don't know but you need to understand, now that we can finally communicate…you need to understand that we are carrying a child in our womb." "A child?" Andrea gasped and covered her mouth. Never in her life had she imagined that she would get pregnant this soon. It all seemed unreal to her. It couldn't have…it couldn't have happened. She and Jackson had only one night of passion and it happened two days ago. "Andrea, please talk to me. I need to speak to you about this. Please." "Have you been with anyone?" Andrea suddenly snapped and Hayley was unsure of what to say. This was the first time Andrea had ever been so cold towards anyone using her voice. But Hayley had always been the toughest of the twins and she responded right back to her sister.
"Are you accusing me of something?" She was louder in Andrea's mind and it was making her head burn. Andrea tried to speak but no words would come out. "I know you slept with Jackson. And you didn't tell me. I also shared a few nights of passion with someone, a man you've met. A man who has threatened you once, thinking you were me." Andrea searched her mind for the man Hayley was talking about and when she finally found out, she gasped. "Klaus Mikaelson? The hybrid?" "Yes." "That is treason against our pack. How could you do something like this?" "How could you sleep with my ex fiancé behind my back?" "Jackson and I were granted permission to get married by Mother and Father. You had no right taking away this body's virginity and sleep with the hybrid. If our parents hear about this…" "Andrea, I don't think you were given permission to consummate your marriage by Mother and Father either. Eve told me what happened." "Your sin is worse than mine. You slept with a Mikaelson enemy, Hayley. It's very bad." "He has been trying to save me from this curse and you too. Klaus is not our enemy." "You can easily look past the way he killed and tortured our ancestors?" "We have all done things in the past that we are not proud of including our Father."
"Do not mention our Father, Hayley. How dare you? He has always been a just ruler!" Andrea was getting angrier by the seconds which passed. Hayley let out a small sigh and whispered, "We need to know…we need to know whose baby we are carrying." "Well, that is already settled, isn't it? It's my child. Even if you slept with that hybrid, you could have never been impregnated by him." "I still have faith that the child is mine. Andrea, we need to discover the truth." "And I want to live my day in peace! This is unfair! You have no right to express yourself this day! It's my day, Hayley! Please, leave me alone!" Andrea called out at herself in the mirror and then covered her face with her hands as the tears started rolling down her cheeks. Andrea turned around immediately to see who it was and her heart became light when she realized that Jackson was there for her, ready to protect her from harm. Jackson pulled her in a firm embrace and whispered in her ear, "Eve told me. You're pregnant, my love. Hayley must have sensed it. Our love for each other…it has finally given us what we have wanted." "Jack…" Andrea started saying in a whisper. Hayley's voice could no longer be heard in her mind.
Had their conversation been real or just a figment of her imagination? "Andrea, I have already told my father and your parents. Your father is expecting us before him so we can be offered his blessing. Andrea saw the glint of happiness in Jackson's eyes and her heart broke at the thought that she would ruin their small moment. "Jack, I have something I need to tell you first. Please, listen. Mother and Father might need to learn of this too." With a heavy heart, Andrea told Jackson of the way she and Hayley had finally managed to communicate and what she had told her about her days spent with Klaus Mikaelson and their moments of passion throughout the nighttime. The news of Hayley's indiscretions was taken hard by Jackson, who kissed Andrea's lips and then he took her over to the cabin where Rowan and Ayleth were waiting. Victor and a few people from the North East Atlantic pack were with him too when Jackson explained everything Andrea had just told him. Ayleth didn't seem at all fazed by the realization that Hayley had been intimate with Klaus Mikaelson. She had known from the moment he came to them in the bayou…that he wanted Hayley, because he felt something for her.
Rowan's eyes were widened and he was just in as much shock as Victor was. Eve was looking from one family to another, remembering well how she and Hayley discovered the pregnancy together the other day. Jackson closed his eyes and held Andrea's hand tightly, and then he opened his eyes and explained firmly. "This is the last time I will ever feel humiliated by this hybrid! I ask of you to please let me marry Andrea as soon as possible. We all know that Hayley's theories are absurd! An immortal can never procreate! There is no doubt about that. This child which Andrea is carrying is ours and it shall remain that way!" At once, Andrea's blood froze when she heard a cold voice from the door of the cabin. "I would think no, lad!" the growl rang inside the ears of the people present. The Crescent wolves as well as the North East Atlantics all gathered around in the front of the cabin, while Rowan and his wife stood on their feet, glaring at the Original Hybrid who had come before them.
"You are a traitorous bastard! I offered up the company of my daughter to you and you took away every ounce of dignity that she had! You deflowered her! How could you?!" Rowan yelled out and Ayleth had to grab onto his arm in order to stop her husband from doing anything that he might regret later. Klaus placed his hands behind his back as he watched Andrea. She had started trembling and her eyes were on the floor. Jackson instinctively placed his hands around her in order to protect her from harm. "Contrary to your belief, Hayley and I have shared something quite special over the last couple of days. I value her and I want her beside me. Over the years of my life, I have always managed to obtain what I want and I shall do so again. Once I will break the curse, Hayley will be coming with me and there is no question of it. As for the child the body is carrying…it is yet to be determined whose it is!" Jackson took a step forward and whispered, "You will not take my child away from me! DO YOU HEAR ME?" He then yelled a little louder. "Do not raise your tone with me or I will drag you out of here and give you a beating a field mouse like yourself could never bear." Klaus threatened. "Enough!" Rowan exclaimed and then came face to face with the hybrid.
"What more do you want from me? You have already taken away my daughter into your dark and cruel world. What more do you want?" he asked him. "I am not your enemy, Rowan and believe me when I tell you that I did not have the knowledge that Hayley was your daughter the first time we became intimate. It was only after, when we first came into contact that I found out who she really is. But no matter. The child's parents will be determined by a witch you and Marcel both trust. Sophie Deveraux." Jackson stepped towards him and told Rowan, "You can't trust him. And you can't trust that a witch will tell the truth. Leave us be and let me marry Andrea today." Rowan turned to him with one eyebrow raised and stated, "I thought you said you were certain that this child belongs to you. If that is the truth, we shall discover at once." Rowan then turned to Klaus and they eyed each other for a long moment. "If you care for Hayley…break the curse and undo my mistake. I will not punish her for being intimate with you, not can I allow her to leave her home anymore." "That is not up to you to decide!" Klaus said loudly. No one was going to take his little wolf from him. No one!
…
Sophie got into the car and Marcel grinned at her. "What do you want now?" she asked as she buckled her seatbelt. Marcel just shrugged and he started driving as far away from the cemetery as they could. "I just want an explanation as to why you suddenly decided to give me a call and ask me to pick you up and take you to the bayou." "I needed a ride because I need to get some important information to Klaus and to Rowan too." "What information?" Marcel asked. Sophie remained silent and Marcel immediately stopped the car, making Sophie gasp. "Look, if you are not going to say anything, you can just forget about me giving you this ride. I know that we have had that one time thing and you've avoiding me ever since. Just tell me what's going on already!" "Hayley and Andrea are pregnant. Hayley has been intimate with Klaus and Andrea had shared one night with her future husband, Jackson Kenner in the bayou. Are you satisfied?" Sophie told him. Marcel took a moment to think about what he had just heard. "So that was Hayley, the wolf girl Klaus had been constantly seeing?" "Yes!"
"And whose child is it?" Marcel asked but Sophie just shook her head. "Drive." She whispered and Marcel took a moment to look at her before he started the car again and they finally arrived in the bayou. The wolves did not greet them with joy but Sophie didn't care. With Marcel at her side, she finally found the cabin where Rowan and Klaus were facing each other. As soon as Sophie appeared, Klaus could feel the terror washing over him. He chose to believe in the impossibility in which Hayley believed. The chances had never been in his favor. If there was one thing he could not stand was to be humiliated. "Sophie, what are you doing here?" Rowan asked her. "I came with the results. I have taken Klaus' blood and I have consulted with the ancestors, to check the womb of the Labonair princess." "You have to trust her. She knows what she's doing." Marcel said to his long-time friend. "And it's mine!" Jackson exclaimed and Klaus immediately turned around and growled at him. "No. The child's DNA matches Klaus'…it's his child. I know it's impossible but…" Klaus' feet felt like jelly for the first time in centuries. He had believed but he had never thought that it would come true. His own child…procreated by him and his little wolf, Hayley.
"NO! That is impossible!" Jackson exclaimed but Victor pulled him back before he could do anything. "Sophie, are you certain?" Rowan asked her. "When I return to my coven, I will be able to get the proof. The child belongs to Klaus Mikaelson and Hayley." There was a glint of happiness in Klaus' eyes but more…there was shock because he never thought of any of this to be possible. He slowly turned around, wanting to speak to Andrea, but she was nowhere to be seen. "WHERE IS SHE?" Klaus yelled out and for the first time, everyone observed that Andrea was no longer present in that cabin. Klaus immediately used his hybrid speed and sped out of there, ending up on the streets from where he could see Andrea running. Fast as lightening, Klaus grabbed a hold of her and held her to him. "NO! You will not run away from this! The child you carry belongs to your sister and to me!" Andrea let the tears fall as she whispered, "No." She couldn't hide her disappointment. She and Jackson had wanted a child too.
Klaus watched her break down, but there was nothing he could say to her that would ease her pain. Only Jackson was capable of doing so, so he took her back to the cabin, where Andrea embraced her parents and then the love of her life. Marcel put a hand on Klaus' shoulder and made him turn around for eye contact. "Congratulations, man! You don't know what this means!" Marcel told him. Of course he didn't know. He had never been in such a situation before. It was new to him. But at that moment, all he was hoping for was for the day of tomorrow to come as quickly as possible so as he could hold Hayley in his arms, make love to her and tell her about their child…hoping she would forgive him for sending her away.
…
Elijah had once had this woman under his spell and she was under his. But now, they were coming face to face with each other. Elijah had listened to his brother's advice, to search for Celeste in a place where no one knew Celeste would go…but he knew that she would be there. Just on the outskirts of New Orleans, there was a small and abandoned bar where the two of them would sit and talk about their problems. The jazz was playing beautifully in those times. Now, the bar had long been forgotten and was used for deposits only. But as soon as he stepped in, he could smell her scent. It was her…and he was unsure of what his next move would be. He needed to convince her to offer up the cure to the curse placed on the Labonair princesses. But how would he manage to do so when no others had succeeded before him? "Elijah." Her voice was deep, but still as seductive as it had been 20 years before. "Celeste." Elijah whispered and he tried to keep a smile on his face for the sake of appearances.
He had a job to do after all and he was going to leave this place with the cure for the wolves. "I know why you are here. You don't have to hide your true intentions from me." Celeste whispered softly as she strutted over to him and placed her hand on his cheek. Elijah stood firm and grunted a little but tried to relax his mind so as for her not to feel his tension. "Celeste, you need to let me help you. I can do that." Eliajh started saying but then took a deep breath as he felt her anger. "Is this truly how you feel? Did you not miss me at all, Elijah?" "Of course I have. It has been a very long time." Elijah said to her and then leaned in to kiss her. He thought that he knew what he was doing. And even if he had to kiss this woman that he now despised, he would do it. He would help the wolves and he would help his brother without question. Celeste kissed his deeply and he responded to that kiss, feeling her fingers slide up on his cheeks and then down to his neck.
When she stopped kissing him, Celeste looked into his eyes. "That's why you're here isn't it, my love? You want that blasted cure for your wolf friends, no?" With a force greater than ever, Elijah had no time to respond as his neck was snapped and he collapsed onto the ground. Celeste sighed as she watched Elijah's body on the ground. In an hour tops, he would wake again and he would find her. This time, Celeste was sure that he was no longer going to play nice. "What a shame! We could have been a great love story…probably the greatest ever told, Elijah." She said and then turned to the back of the room. She smirked as she noticed the body of the passed out witch she had collected from the road. "Sabine." She whispered and then she started chanting in Latin, feeling her soul leave her body. There was only one way she could return to power without being targetted…and Sabine was the key.
A/N: It took me a long time to write this chapter. Not from lack of inspiration but because of my lack of motivation. The show is constantly disappointing me but I still hold on to my Klayley, for you guys. What do you think will happen next now that the baby is Klaus and Hayley's (as you might have expected) and Elijah was taken down by Celeste?
Thank you for reading and please leave me reviews!
