I love the reviews, guys! The baby won't come anytime soon. In Chapter 10, we'll see how Hayley's plan works out with Kol helping her. Davina will not go down without a fight. (An emotional fight, that is.) Katherine will confront Celeste about her attempts to get Elijah (Oh, boy! It's going to get messy) and Rebekah will end up protecting her. Hayley's POV
That night, everything was going as planned. I found myself a decent outfit and combed my wavy hair while Katherine was putting on mascara and Rebekah was putting on lots of blush. We were going to pull off the plan tonight, without any help from Elijah or Klaus.
"I still say that we should run this by them first. What if we make a mistake? What if Marcel catches you, Hayley? He'll banish all of us and our plan to get New Orleans back will be ruined. Nik will be furious." Rebekah was saying and Katherine rolled her eyes.
"Look, nothing can go wrong. I never choose to do something unless I'm sure I know what I'm doing. Klaus and Elijah will thank us for this. We'll save time. Lots of precious time." I explained and put on a bit of make-up as well even though people always told me that I look naturally gorgeous.
"We look good for a party, don't we? I never thought that I would end up with the two of you." Katherine said and laughed. "I never thought that we would spend this much time together with no pressure and no attempt to kill each other. Oh, pardon! I meant my attempt to kill you." Rebekah told Katherine with a smirk on her face.
"Okay! I have to admit that you two have made quite an effort to work together." I said, but they didn't look that pleased to hear me say that. "What time is it?" I asked Katherine and she checked her watch. "It's precisely seven and forty-five minutes." She answered.
"Okay! We have to be at Sophie's bar in fifteen minutes. She will perform that spell five minutes afterwards. I go to the mansion where Kol better be there waiting for me to go inside. You two are going to remain at the party and keep all the vampires from leaving, including Marcel. Do you understand?" I reminded them of our plan and they nodded, especially Katherine.
"Trust me, Hayley. I will not be leaving that bar. I might convince Elijah to come." "Didn't you say that he is meeting someone tonight?" I asked. "Yeah, he is meeting that person at the bar. I will be there to see who it is." Rebekah scoffed.
"I know realize why you really want to go there! You want to make sure that Celeste stays away from him." "I hate that bitch and I am not going to let her try and steal Elijah from me."
I sighed and said, "You really need to chill. Elijah loves you and you love him. Celeste can't come in between you two just because she has been involved with Elijah like two hundred years ago. "
"I think you should know that when Nik comes back, she might try to hit on him too. She has always had a thing for him, but Elijah seemed to interest her the most. You really knows? She's a slut." Rebekah told me, thinking that telling me that she would get me to hate Celeste just as much as they did, but I didn't. I didn't know that woman well enough to hate her. Right now, we had to worry about other things.
On our way to the Deveroux bar, I got a message from Sophie on my phone. Where are you? Should we start the party now? Cami is insisting on participating. Will she be a problem? I wrote her back as quickly as possible.
Let everyone in! Rebekah, Katherine and I are on our way right now and don't worry about Cami. She can actually help us by distracting the guys. "What is she saying?" Rebekah asked. "Sophie and Cami are about to get the party started. I think that many people are already there. I let her start earlier than planned."I explained.
"Why earlier? Didn't you say that you wanted to do this the right way?" "We are doing this the right way, Bekah. Getting started earlier is even better. It is always good to save time." Rebekah laughed.
"It's amazing how many great ideas are popping into that head of yours, Hayley. How do you do it?"
"I read the Survival Skills when I was little. You should give it a read too." "I don't know when the last time I read a book was." Katherine said and Rebekah laughed. "Have you ever even read a book?" They punched each other in the arms playfully but made sure not to ruin their outfits.
They needed to be fresh. "Alright! Let's get this party started!" Katherine called out.
The Deveroux bar was opened and it was almost full. Vampires everywhere were drinking and partying and dancing to the loud music. You could barely hear yourself over all that noise.
"Hey! Great idea to get started on this party, girls. This town could use some of this fun. I don't know when was the last time the bar had a party as big as this one. How did you convince Sophie to do it?" Camille asked over. She was wearing some sexy clothes and her hair was curled up as always. It was pretty impressive.
"I say we have some fun and get Boy Hunting." Rebekah suggested and grabbed Camille's arm and the two blondes ran into the crowd with drinks in their hands. Katherine was taking a sip of everything there, wine, scotch, gin, and whisky, and champagne. I was afraid that she would end up really drunk and blabber our plan to everyone.
"Be careful, okay? Don't do anything foolish. Where is Elijah?" I looked around but didn't see him so I decided to text him Hey, it's Hayley. Katherine is getting drunk at Sophie's bar. Do you think you can keep an eye on her? I'm kind of busy. He sent me back an answer to which I was glad to receive; I'll be there in five minutes with the person I need to have a meeting with. Katherine finally poured herself beer and settled on a chair.
"Listen! Elijah will be here soon. I have to go because Kol is probably waiting for me. Stop drinking so much! I'm serious." I told her and she smiled. "I'm just having some fun. It's a party, after all." "Are you trying to ruin my plan?" "Of course not!"
"Then focus!" I yelled over the loud music and left the bar, after sending Rebekah a message by telling her that I was heading towards Marcel's mansion. Elijah walked in the bar just when I walked out and who do you think he was with? Celeste! This was not good.
"Where is Katerina, Hayley?" Elijah asked me and I pointed to the table. "Make sure she doesn't say or do anything that she's not supposed to. Please, Elijah. I have to go."
"Where?" he asked, curious. "Somewhere. I…I am going to get some information from the library about supernatural babies. I was thinking maybe they've got something there."
Celeste was already joining the crowd so she didn't hear me say anything about my baby. Rebekah wanted to tell her that I was pregnant with Klaus' child but knew better than to do that considering that Celeste might have eventually told Marcel. "Are you sure you're in condition to go alone? Niklaus wouldn't have liked this."
"Well, Klaus doesn't need to know. Just because I am pregnant, that doesn't mean that I am helpless. I know what I am doing. You and your brother need to have some faith in me, alright?" Elijah smiled and winked. "Do what you need to do, then."
"Sweetheart, if you expect us to work together, you better make sure to be on time. You are two minutes late." Kol said, chuckling, sitting with his hands in his pockets like Klaus used to do and leaned against the wall near the mansion.
"Sorry. I was busy with Katherine. Apparently, she found the perfect time to start getting drunk, so I had to get Elijah to the bar and get him to keep an eye on her, since Rebekah can't." I explained. "Does Elijah know about what we're trying to do?" "No."
"Then how do you know that Katerina won't get drunk and tell Elijah the whole plan?" Kol asked and smiled at the thought. I stopped and gasped. "I didn't think about that." I whispered, but continued walking and pulled out the key I got from Katherine and opened the door that led to the amazing garden Marcel had. Kol looked at it wide-eyed.
"This place is awesome! Are you saying that if we take down Marcel, we'll be living here and not in that crappy house we've got at the edge of the city?" he asked me and I nodded. "Wow! Why didn't you say so? Let's get the witch." Kol replied, cracking his knuckles and I stopped him.
"Don't start! I want to talk to Davina. We are not going to force her from the beginning, do you understand? I want her to be able to trust us. We need her help and she obviously needs ours." I pointed a finger at him and he understood because he calmed down afterwards.
"I can see why my brother likes you, Hayley. You're feisty and attractive. He always liked those types." He said once we managed to get inside the creepy old house. It was still standing and with some polishing, it could have looked brand new.
"Klaus doesn't like me. We're good partners, now because of the child I am carrying which happens to belong to him." I said in a much quieter voice.
"No. He enjoys spending time with you. And you always light up when you talk to him, which proves that you are in love with him." "Kol, stop it! You promised you wouldn't mention this again."
"No. I said I wouldn't tell him that you're in love with him and I won't because I like you too much. Wouldn't want to see a tough girl like you break into tears after you see him with that Caroline girl."
I suddenly couldn't breathe and I was afraid that I would get sick and actually break into tears. Kol realized how much what he said affected me so he stopped talking until we got up to the attic. "Should we knock or burst in?" he asked me. "Knock!" I ordered.
I didn't want to scare her so I knocked a couple of times. Nobody answered. "Oh come on, Hayley. Go in."
"You're coming inside too." "What? You said that you need me to watch your back." "I really need your help convincing her, Kol. Talking about feisty girls, I have to warn you that even though she's younger, she's feistier than any girl you've seen so far." I said and he sighed.
"What's up with you? Are you upset because of what I said about Nik?" I pursed my lips in a straight line and when I didn't answer he realized what he'd done.
"Sorry. Didn't mean to make you suffer more than you already do. Just know that you shouldn't worry. Nik will most likely be back. He cares for you and he wants to protect your child. I don't think Caroline will come first for him."
"I have a hard time believing that. He has always put Caroline above his own family. Rebekah even told me about the time he save Caroline over her. Can you imagine? "What was he thinking? Saving a girl who holds no feelings for him over his own sister? I can say he crossed the line there too. Bekah was pretty pissed off. I don't think she has forgiven him yet. I wouldn't have either."
Kol said what was on his mind and we kept thinking about Klaus that we even forgot that we were supposed to be going inside. I took a deep breath and opened the door to see Davina standing there, the way she did that night when Katherine and I burst in on her. She wasn't scared.
She was more likely angry. "Davina. It's me, Hayley. We've met before." I said, giving her a warm smile, but she continued frowning. "Why did you come back? Does Marcel know you're here?" She was eying Kol suspiciously and he was staring at her with a confused expression on his face.
"No." he answered for me in a dark tone. Her eyes filled up with tears and said, "Please, leave. Leave before I call on Thierry or Diego to come here." She warned us but I refused to back down.
"Davina, they aren't coming. All the vampires are at Sophie's bar. Do you know Sophie Deveroux? Did you know her sister, Jane Anne?" I asked her and saw a tear slid down her cheek and I knew then that she was responsible for Jane Anne's death.
She was the one who informed Marcel of the spell she did in the cemetery. "I did." She whispered. "Sophie and the other witches need your help, Davina. Why are you standing by Marcel's side? Why do you betray your own sisters?" I asked, approaching her with caution remembering that Davina held some pretty amazing powers.
"You don't know me, Hayley." "I want you to come with us." "No! I am not betraying Marcel like this. I refuse to do that." Kol was getting impatient and came closer to where I was standing.
"Do you understand that marcel is a despicable king? Do you have the slightest idea of what horrible things he has done to this town? This town doesn't even belong to him. It belongs to my brother, Niklaus Mikaelson!" Davina was eying us suspiciously and I saw that Kol had hit a nerve. I wanted to be more understanding.
"Davina, you can help save this town from misery. Aren't you tired of being held captive here? Aren't you tired of Marcel using you?" "HE IS NOT USING ME!" she yelled out in rage and another sort of earthquake was provoked by her and Kol had to grab me so that I would not fall.
"Listen to us, please. Marcel is using you. He has been using you ever since you were little. He wants your powers and nothing more." "Marcel has been taking care of me ever since my parents died. He is the only family I have. He wouldn't betray this town like you said.
He loves this town. It is our home." "The witches of this town are your home. Sophie and the others need you." "You need me for my powers." She protested and I stood strong.
"Marcel is using your powers for evil and we want to use your powers for good. Either come with us and help save your sisters from misery or continue to stand by Marcel's side and help him destroy this city and betray your true family." I made a point. It was time for her to decide.
Davina had her arms crossed and was sitting on her old and torn bed. All she had to wear was a nightgown. That showed how much Marcel really cared for her.
I received some texts from Rebekah like so, Katherine has gone mad! She was about to tell everyone about your plan. I had to get her into the bathroom and splash water on her face. I'm keeping Marcel in check. He's having the time of his life. How's it going with Davina?
I sighed and wrote her back. It's difficult. We're still debating and Kol is doing his best to help (I know. Surprise, surprise). He's not as bad as I thought he was. Still trying to get Davina to join Sophie and the rest of the witches. Take care of Katherine and please, don't let her wonder off alone in that bar.
Putting my phone away, I heard Davina whisper, "Marcel is not a bad person." Okay, I didn't want to contradict her or I really wasn't going to score any points. I just had to play the cards I had the right way.
"You're right. He's not a bad person, but he has been making a lot of bad choices. We need to stop him." She looked up and saw her beautiful eyes full of tears. "You're going to kill him?" "No, of course not! We just want to make him step down and he will not do so as long as he has you. We aren't that cruel." She let all the tears she was holding in, fall off her face, while Kol paced around the room, getting obviously bored.
"I didn't mean for Jane Anne to get killed. I…I had to tell him. I was raised like this. I am always supposed to tell him." She was sobbing and I pulled her into a hug. She was five years younger than me, and it felt like I was a mother, hugging her daughter. What was it about her that made me want to protect her?
Davina was a lot like me. Scared on the inside, but tough on the outside. She cares about family and is loyal to the ones she cares about. "I know you didn't mean for that to happen. Come with us, Davina and fight along your sisters." "Marcel will find me and get me back. He is very protective. I can't leave. He will find me eventually."
"Not where we're going to take you." Kol responded and she looked at him in an angry way. She didn't seem to like vampires much. "You are just going to keep me a prisoner there, just like I am here, where I can't even open a window so I can breathe some fresh air."
She stood up and regained her tough girl attitude, but she couldn't beat the pro and that pro was me. I also stood up and looked at her straight in the eyes. "We mean you no harm, Davina. We are going to take you to our home. The house where we all live." "Who exactly?" she wanted to know.
"Me, my sister, Rebekah, my brothers Elijah and Niklaus and other people like Hayley here who want to help take down the king and replace him with a better suited one, like I said before." Kol told her.
Davina still refused to say anything. She just wandered around the dark room; looking at the little space she lived almost her entire life. "I would have to hide in your house as well so Marcel wouldn't find me. I will still be trapped." I sighed.
It was really difficult with her and Kol was already tapping his feet. "You will have more freedom than you've ever had in your life. You can trust me." I told her, and looked at her in a serious way. "I want to talk to Sophie." she told me and that shocked me.
Let's just say that Davina's request was not in fact a good idea. Sophie was still really upset about the death of her sister. Jane Anne was loved very much by all the witches in New Orleans and Davina had betrayed them all by telling Marcel about the spell she had done without permission that night.
Making Sophie talk to Davina was not a good idea at the moment. "I want to hear your choice." I told her and she continued to stare at me. "What's it to you, Hayley? Why are you helping Klaus? Are you a friend of the family? What are they to you?" she asked me and I remained shocked. She had a point.
The only thing that was keeping me tied to the Mikaelson family at the moment was Klaus' baby that I was carrying, but it was not the time to tell Davina, when she didn't even decide whether or not she wanted to join us. "I am a friend. A close friend." I told her and she nodded.
"You're a werewolf, aren't you?" "Yes, I am." "You do realize that Marcel hates werewolves, right?"
"I know that. He ran my family out of this town. That is how I ended up in New Orleans. I came here to find my family. We're the same. We respect the values of friendship, love, family. You need a family and the witches of New Orleans are your family, not Marcel. Try to understand that." I told her.
Davina held her gaze for a moment before dropping it on the floor. "Hayley, I am loyal to my family. Marcel has raised me and…" "You do realize that he is wrong for this city as King, right? You know about all the horrible things he's done, don't you?" Davina nodded slowly, and Kol joined us with a smile on his face.
"Great! Let's go!" He was ready to grab Davina but she used her witch powers to cause pain in him. He was holding his head as he dropped on his knees. I couldn't stand to see his pain. "Davina, stop!" I ordered her.
"He shouldn't have touched me." she answered. "What do you think you are going to solve? You are only hurting one of the people who want to hurt you. Please, stop this." Davina stopped clenching her hands and her expression softened as Kol regained his strength but was still on the floor.
"Well, well, well. Look who believed he could take down a witch like her." I smiled and noticed the anger flowing through Kol like never before. "You are going to pay for that." he threatened and Davina giggled. "I am so scared! You can't get me out of here without my say so." I looked at Davina with my hands on my hips.
"What's your decision?" I asked her and just when she was about to answer, my phone started ringing. It was Rebekah. "Hold that thought." I told Davina and answered my phone. There was loud music from the other line that I could barely hear Rebekah's voice.
"Hayley, where are you? What's taking so long?" "What is going on over there?"
"Everything is crazy, really. Katherine is still drunk and Camille is drinking a bit too much as well. I can' stop her. I have to admit that this is the wildest party this bar has had since the 80's. Marcel is too preoccupied to notice anything strange going on but he keeps asking where Nik is and I have to keep on lying to him. I don't like it that much. What's taking so long? It's ten o'clock!"
"What? That's how long it's been?" I couldn't believe that I had to stay three hours to convince a person to do as I say. This was new for me.
"Rebekah, we need more time, okay? When we're done, I'll come to you so tell Sophie to keep the party going and stop Marcel and his buddies from leaving. You can do that, can't you?" "I'll do my best. How's Kol?"
"He's being himself and at one point, he's been helpful but a few minutes ago, he almost got knocked down by a teenage witch." I said and giggled when I saw the look of anger still on Kol's face. "Are you close to convincing Davina?"
"I hope." I whispered. "Okay! I have to go. Marcel's calling for me." "Very well. We're good. I think you'll be seeing me there in ten minutes." I replied, smiling.
Ending the phone call, I turned back towards Davina. I was exhausted and I was hungry as well. For a minute, I kind of forgot that I was pregnant. My baby belly still wasn't showing which was a good thing, for now.
"So, what are you planning to do?" Davina continued to study me carefully and her eyes were calm and gentle as she looked at both Kol and I. I think that she was beginning to trust us.
"I'm coming with you." she decided and I sighed in relief. Kol applauded and Davina was still eying him in a way that told me that she was feeling like torturing him again. Davina started packing her things and that meant taking some ragged clothes which I was surprised she had and some food she had stored away for herself. I told her that she didn't have to do that.
The Mikaelsons had plenty of food stored for me at our home and I was more than willing to share it with her, if they decided that they would not waste their energy and money on her. I wanted to become Davina's mentor and care for her. She deserved such help and frankly, a girl like her was exactly the kind of person I felt having around me.
"She doesn't like me much." Kol whispered in my ear. I snorted, "You think? You tried to take her by force. I told you that's not the way to do it." I told him and he rolled his eyes and watched Davina pack.
I watched her closely and noticed all kinds of books that she was putting in her bag. They were about witchcraft and I was interested in knowing what kind of magic she was using but not that night.
Davina had enough. I helped her put everything she needed in that special bag of hers, and carefully headed outdoors together with Kol right behind us. Once we finally got out of that mansion, I noticed Davina's teeth starting to chatter. She was really cold.
She must have not been used to going outside. I gave Kol a look and he understood what I wanted him to do immediately. He got his jacket off and placed it on her. "Thank you." she whispered.
Kol didn't say anything. He was still pissed that a little witch got the better of him, but deep down I knew he had a good heart, just like Klaus. "Wait! What am I going to do?" Davina asked me, desperately.
I had promised Rebekah that I would come straight to the Deveroux Bar as soon as I was finished with Davina. But what was I going to do with her? "Kol, take her to our home. I am going back to the party. Rebekah, Katherine and Sophie are expecting me there now."I told him and he looked at me dumbfound. "What are you talking about? You're leaving me alone with him?" Davina was shocked.
"He's taking you home. No buts about it." "What am I supposed to do once I get her to our house?" Kol asked. "Protect her. I hereby declare you Davina's protector! It's not like you have anything else better to do. Just keep an eye on her until all of us get back home. It's going to be a long night." I said and Davina grabbed my arm.
"I don't need a protector. I can take care of myself." Where have I heard that before? I remembered telling Klaus the exact same thing a month ago.
The problem was that I did end up needing one, no matter how tough I acted and that is how I knew that even though Davina was holding some incredible powers, she still needed someone to protect her and that someone was going to be Kol.
"Davina, trust me. Kol is going to protect you. Now, I want to ask you something. How often does Marcel come in the attic to check on you?" "He only does that like once a month.
His vampire slaves are coming inside to give me food but they never talk to me much. I left some objects on my bed and covered them up with a blanket and added a wig I found on will think I'm sleeping so they will not bother to look at the dummy." Davina said and Kol smirked.
"Clever girl." "Great job! That is going to buy us some time until Marcel sends a search party to look for you." I looked at my watch and told them quickly. "Head for the house and keep her there, safe. We'll be home in a couple of hours." I informed Kol.
He picked up Davina, with her approval this time, and they sped up towards the edge of New Orleans where our house was standing.
Quickly, I entered Sophie's bar and saw her standing at the counter with Camille who was acting like crazy. When she saw me, she quickly mouthed "Come here, now!" I headed over to her and saw her sweating. "What happened?" I asked.
"This party has to end. I have never thrown a party this big and I did it for you. You owe me big time." "No. You did it for all of us. We have Davina." "You convinced her to leave Marcel's side?" Her mouth dropped.
"I did. She has agreed to fight with the rest of the witches meaning you, Sabine and the rest, against Marcel. I only had to promise her that we will not kill him, only dethrone him. She knows that everything that marcel did in this city was wrong and even though she feels like she is betraying the one person who raised her, even if he raised her poorly, she is willing to fight for justice with us."
"That's great." Sophie said, in a more sad voice this time.
"What's wrong?" I asked, touching her arm. "It's just that, Davina betrayed us. She betrayed all of us witches of New Orleans who promised that we will always stick together as one. She betrayed us and that is why I will have a hard time trusting her, I can tell you from the start."
Sophie told me and I pulled her into a hug. "She knows what she did, but just remember that it was Marcel who killed Jane Anne, not Davina."
"If she hadn't told him…" "She had no choice. Jane Anne knew what was coming for her. She knew that after the ritual, she would be killed off. She chose to sacrifice herself, just like you said. It is time to let it go, Sophie." I told her and she nodded, choosing to understand that right now it was best to put her past behind her.
I turned around and saw Rebekah sitting and laughing with Marcel at a table while Katherine was on the dance floor, talking to someone. Celeste! Oh boy! Elijah was nowhere to be found. "This is not good." Cami said, noticing the fight as well. This party would end too quickly. I had to stop Katherine.
Pushing through the crowd, I got to the middle where the creole woman, Celeste was having an argument with Katherine. "What is going on?" I asked and Katherine looked like she was really glad to see me.
The good thing was that she got over it and she wasn't drunk anymore, but Celeste looked like she was. She was laughing hard when Katherine was telling her to back off and leave Elijah alone.
"What do you think you are going to do? You and Hayley aren't capable of doing anything. I don't see your guys around here to help you and yes, Kat, I know that you've taken the cure against vampirism and you're human again. How does it feel? Are you enjoying this helpless pathetic life of yours? I can't see why Elijah would even bother staying with you. You know, he remembered today all those hot moments we've had in the past, ones you can only imagine having with him."
I knew what Celeste was doing. Katherine was mad enough as it is and she was pushing her continuously. I was about to warn Katherine, but just then, she the human self, lunged forward and started pulling Celeste's hair and she threw Katherine on the ground.
The music stopped and everyone was shocked to see that a fight was occurring. I helped Katherine up, but apparently, she had not learned her lesson because she was about to lunge at the powerful vampire again. Just then, Marcel stepped in between them and Rebekah was keeping Katherine in line. "Stop it." she hissed at her.
"Now, ladies! What seems to be the problem?" Marcel asked with a small grin on his face. "Celeste? Why don't you tell me, darling?" "She started it. She lunged herself at me for no reason." "WHAT?" Katherine was being held down by Rebekah and I was watching, transfixed.
"Rebekah, sweetheart, would you mind keeping your friend…in check?" Marcel asked her, sweetly. Rebekah smiled and nodded. "Very well, then. Celeste, come with me." Marcel gave her a dark look and Celeste was shocked.
Scoffing, she left the party room. I looked at Rebekah and I saw her mouthing "Thank you" to Marcel and replied with "You're welcome." What was going on? Why were they smiling at each other like that?
"Katherine, you need to let it go. How many times do I have to tell you that Celeste is not a threat?" I helped her wash her face from sweat. "Just forget it. Elijah is not even here." she whispered.
"He is at home. I called him." Rebekah said and my eyes widened. "If Elijah's at home, that means he already saw Davina." "We have to get home, now."
Elijah was looking at me sternly when we got there. "Hayley, I wish you would have informed me of what you were planning on doing." he told me.
"You would have stopped me from doing it. Davina is safe now with us and we have yet to gain her trust but she wants to fight along with us and make this town a better place under new leadership." I explained.
Davina was settled in one of the most comfortable rooms in the house and it was right next to Kol's so he would be close to help her in need. "I understand. I just don't like being lied to." His face turned pale when he saw Katherine walk in the house, looking like crap. He was immediately by her side, holding her face in his hands.
"Katerina, what has happened to you?" "Celeste." she whispered and Elijah kissed her cheek. "Did she hurt you?"
"Celeste was a bit drunk and she was saying how much time you spent with her two hundred years ago and Katherine snapped. Then, Celeste pushed her to the ground. Good thing Marcel pulled them apart before she got a more awful beating."
Rebekah was being honest and that was why Katherine gave her a dark look. "Look at me. There is nothing going on between Celeste and me. She is history, the past. You are my present and future." Elijah whispered to Katherine and then pulled her into a soft kiss.
Rebekah didn't roll her eyes this time. She was thinking about something…or more likely someone! I wanted to ask her about the close friendship she started having with marcel, but once she looked at me and sort of felt what was coming, she called out, "Alright! I'm going to bed now! It's been a long night and a long party!" In a flash, Rebekah was already upstairs and closed her door shut.
Elijah and Katherine were still kissing and I was starting to feel awkward but I couldn't help but admire their love once more and recalled what Elijah had told Katherine a few minutes before, "Look at me. There is nothing going on between Celeste and me. She is history, the past. You are my present and future."
That was very sweet and touching. Just then, Katherine broke the kiss and said, "I am tired, Elijah." "Okay. Get some rest." he told her, still holding her, gently. "No. I mean that I am tired of this human life. I want and I need to be a vampire again. That is the only way I am going to survive."
"I am always going to protect you. You know that." he replied but Katherine just shook her head. "No. I do not want to grow old. You will never grow old. I want us to remain like this, immortal and together forever." I was just standing there and listening to Katherine's prayers. She burst into tears.
"I want to be a vampire!" she cried out loud and without Elijah trying to stop her, Katherine ran to her room and shut the door, just like Rebekah had done. Elijah sighed and looked at me.
"I am going to bed too. We'll talk about Davina tomorrow." He nodded and before I left the living room, I asked him the question that has been buzzing in my mind all day.
"Have you heard from Klaus?" Elijah rubbed his forehead and shook his head. That was another problem that we had to take care of, but not that night. I was just as tired as Katherine was as I headed to my room.
Closing the door shut, I changed into my night gown and pulled the curtains closed. I then, relaxed on the comfortable bed and turned the lights off, falling asleep immediately. I saw his face in my dream.
He was dancing with me after he had final regained his throne and was now the new King of New Orleans. Klaus bent over and whispered in my ear, "Look at me. There is nothing going on between Caroline and me. She is history, the past. You are my present and future, Hayley."
He then bent down and kissed me softly the way I knew wouldn't happen in real life. I felt him move deeper inside me and I let him. I wanted him more than anything.
I've met a lot of sweet and caring guys in the past like Tyler but none of them made my heart flutter the way Klaus did. I loved him and I decided to smile and dream on into the night that lasted more than I would have expected.
