Chapter 11: reigning pain in New Orleans
The next morning Peyton woke up to find Klaus wide awake but simply laying in bed with her resting her head on his chest while snuggling closer to him since she could tell that he was in deep in thought about what happened over the last few days as he played with her messy bed head curls. He gently placed a kiss on her forehead as he took a moment to soak in the comfort and warmth that she was providing him as he realised that this was first time in long time that he had felt at peace before gently getting out of the bed while being mindful not to disturb or hurt Peyton as he got up as he began to get dressed. Peyton took her lead from Klaus as she reluctantly got out of bed as she headed for a shower before getting dressed in a pale pink beige tank top tucked into a blue floral skirt and grabbed a blue cardigan to put on after she put on her tan suede heeled boots. She wore her in gentle waves as she twisted two sides of her hair before clasping them back with a claw clasp, she wore dark brown smoky eye makeup and light pink lipgloss. When she went back into their now shared bedroom she caught Klaus looking out of the window watching the streets of the quarter
" if you think any deeper you might not come back" she said thinking that he looked like he was about to fall into a rabbit hole as she wrapped her arms around his waist from behind
" between regaining control of the quarter, the betrayal of my siblings and forever worrying about you three I have a lot on my mind" he said gently placing his hand on top of hers
" I know and I know that you must be hurt by what Elijah and Rebekah did to you" she said gently as she stretched up onto her toes so that she could gently place a kiss on his shoulder
" I don't get hurt" he said defensive although he knew that she was only trying to help him as he began to gently stroke her arms that were around his waist as he sought comfort from her
" no you get mad and revengeful and most of the time violent but underneath it all you are hurt" she said knowing the inner workings of Niklaus Mikaelson better than he thought she did
" maybe... I'm just glad that I have our home back and that I get to share it with you" he said spinning around so that he was facing her as he wrapped his arms around her back with the baby bump between them
" me too and good call for only sharing one bedroom...very efficient" she said with a smile as she thought about their conversation about their living conditions as he suggested his room
" being efficient wasn't really why I suggested that we sleep in the one bedroom" he said kissing her as a way of telling her his real motive for wanting to share a bedroom with her
" it doesn't take a genius to work out why you wanted us to share a bed" she said to kiss him back to show him that she needed and wanted to share a bed with him as much as he did
" truth is with every passing day I find myself less willing part to with you, even if it's just at night" he said knowing that he had never felt the way he did about Peyton with anyone before
" me too and I know the babies like it when we're together" she said as she gave him more kiss before she moved away from him as put on her blue cardigan as she picked up the family bible
" I didn't pick you for the religious type love" he said noticing the bible that she had sat down to look through before eventually skipping to the end of the bible as she looked up at him
" that's because I'm not, it's not the god related part I'm interested in... It's this part" she said showing him the back page filled with the Labonair family tree including the last entry
" a list of names? I don't understand" he said not seeing the importance of a list of names, although he could tell that this for some reason held some great importance to her
" this list of names relates back to a werewolf family in the bayou with the same birthmark as mine and this name here...Grace? Well that's my birthday" she said trying to explain it to him
" wait you're telling me that you think that you are this Grace Labonair?" He said pushing back her cardigan off her shoulder so that he could see her crescent shaped birthmark
" I'm almost 100% sure that this is me which means that I've found my family... I just need to meet them" she said with a smile as she face the realisation that she had finally found them
" hey Klaus, that's all the vampires arrived" Marcel said after knocking on the door before Klaus could reply to what she had just told him as he tried to forget the concern he had for her family
" ahh thank you Marcel, we'll be down in a second" he said to him as he dismissed him as Marcel rolled his eyes and headed back downstairs as Peyton began to wonder what was going on
" we? What's going on? I mean why am I being in vampire business?" She asked as she had thought that she would simply stay upstate and do baby things while he dealt with his empire
" I'm holding a dinner with the vampire with day light ring to address the change in leadership" he said picking up his black blazer as he put it on she titled her head while giving him a look
" that still doesn't explain why I'm going, I'm not a vampire or part of your little empire" she said still a little confused and unsure that she wanted to go to a dinner with people who tried to kill her
" because well I may King of the New Orleans, you are my Queen and we shall rule New Orleans together" he said knowing that he wouldn't want to do rule the empire without her
" I like the sound of that except for the part about it being a vampire centred community" she said thinking that it was still unfair that the vampire ruled everything while her people were exiled
Klaus and Peyton headed downstairs where the vampires had seated themselves leaving two chairs available at the head of the table in either side for Peyton and Klaus to sit down at as Klaus pulled out the chair for her before she sat down as she realised that all eyes were on her as Klaus walked to his place before beginning his prepared speech for them.
"Let us begin with a toast to our shared gift: immortality" he said raising his glass as Peyton began to pour herself some orange juice as she realised that error in the toast he had made
" not all of us at the table share the 'gift' of immorality, some of us are pretty mortal" she said suddenly feeling left out and out of place as the only non vampire and werewolf at the table
" After a thousand years, one might expect life to be less keenly felt or for its beauties and its sorrows to diminish with time but as vampires, we feel more deeply than humans could possibly imagine like insatiable need, exquisite pain..." He said carrying on like she hadn't spoken out
"Oh god... I think I'm going to be sick" she said a s she watched the human compelled servants approach the vampires before cutting their wrists so they could bleed into the cups for them
" Our victories and our defeats...To my city, my home again. May the blood never cease to flow..." He said waiting for marcel to finish the sentence as he watched her some sip water
"...and the party never end!" Marcel said with enthusiasm as he raised her glass while he shared a look with Diego as they both remembered a conversation they had before this dinner
" to New Orleans" Diego said in agreement as the other including Peyton and Klaus began to agree as they took a sip of their glasses as Peyton tried not to think about the blood in theirs
" I understand that some of you may have questions regarding the recent change in leadership" he said moving onto the subject that had all been on their minds since Marcel pledged loyalty
" you can call the understatement of the century" said one of the less unknown female vampires showing that none of them were sure what was going to happen now with Klaus
" and I invited you here tonight to assure you that you are not defeated." He said trying to reassure them as he could see that none seemed as comfortable as they did with Marcel
" we aren't?" Asked another gullible vampire on the sidelines as he suddenly realised that maybe the big bad Niklaus Mikaelson wasn't as bad as the stories made him out to be
"No, my intentions moving forward are to celebrate what we have. What Marcel took and built for this true community of vampires" he said subtly telling them that they were still in control
" What about her?...The wolf" Diego said pointing towards Peyton as she resisted the urge to grab the knife by her hand and shove into his neck in response to being called the wolf
" Had you'd let me finish Diego, you would know that there is one further matter I would like to address" he said walking to the other side of the table to where Peyton was sitting and drinking
" I'd say it's a pretty big that's growing bigger with passing day" Marcel said referring to the babies that Peyton was carrying as she turned and gave him a pointed look for his comment
" As many of you know, Peyton is carrying my children and is my girlfriend so I trust you will all pay her the appropriate respect" he said standing behind her as she watched their reactions to this
" and if you don't then you should I'm handy with a stake and am a exceptional fighter" she said showing that natural defensive side when it came to putting her trust in vampires she didn't know
" I understand that some of you are concerned by this vicious rumor that I intend to use the blood of our children to create hybrids, I assure you I do not." He said placing his hands on her shoulders
" nor would I let you or anyone else for that matter" she said knowing no one would ever harm he children if she had anything to do with it as she placed a protective hand on her bump
" however it appears I will have to earn your trust. Very well, we'll eliminate the root of your anxiety" he said walking back to his own space as he suddenly got an idea on how to fix this
" eliminate? Eliminate how?" Peyton said suddenly getting a bad feeling in the pit of stomach as she wondered what he meant by eliminating the problem which happened to be her kind
" You see, how I can I sire any hybrids if there are no more werewolves alive in the Bayou to turn?" He said avoiding eye contact with Peyton since he knew what her reaction would be
" What? Klaus, no! You can't do this!" She said standing up in protest as she gave him a desperate look before realising that he probably wasn't going to go back on his orders now
So eat, drink, and be merry. Then I suggest you have yourselves a little wolf hunt. Go ahead, have fun. Kill them all!" He said faking enthusiasm as he watched Peyton stomp upstairs
Eventually Klaus decided to bit the bullet and head upstairs to the living room where Peyton was currently pacing trying to organise her thoughts as she tried to form some kind of plan as to what to do about this new problem in her life as she noticed Klaus walking into the room as if nothing was wrong which only further fuelled her anger along with the hormones
" do you realise that those werewolves you just ordered to be killed are the same ones in the this list and are my long lost family" she said pointing to the bible that was laying on the table
" I'm aware love but it was necessary in order to keep you and the babies safe" he said trying to reason with her as he tried to get closer to her before she pulled away from him still angry
" how is killing my family going to keep us?" She said so mad with fury that she could throw something at him as she began to wonder what went on in that mind of his to justify this
" if the werewolves are dead then the vampires have less desire to kill you or our babies" he said noticing how she upset she really was as she began to pace again just to do something
" unless they want to use us to get to you and they will always have a reason to want to kill me" she said in a dull voice as she thought about why Tyler had kidnapped and wanted to kill her
" I don't understand why you're so upset, this is the same family that abandoned you as a baby" he said thinking about how much hurt her family could have prevented her if they had raised her
" unlike you, they could have had their reasons for giving me up... Reasons I'm never going to know now because of you!" She said beginning to shout as the realisation of it all hit her more
" what has this so called family ever done you!...Anyway I thought I was your family now, that we were becoming a family!" He said thinking that maybe he had been wrong about her and them
" Wait is that what this is all about? You're worried about me leaving you to join them out in the bayou?" She said thinking about what Rebekah had said the day before about his fears
" what if it was?" He said unsure what to say in response to her question since he knew that sometimes showing too much emotion towards someone was never a good thing with people
" then I'd tell you that you are being ridiculous and killing my relatives isn't the answer... You are my family but so are they" she said as gently placed his on her bump before walking away
" you should know that from now on, you will have guards... To help protect you" he said warning her as she narrowed her eyes at his hidden meaning as she turned around to face him
" really? Well I don't need their protection, I looked after myself long before I met you and I'm still here" she said warning him right back as she began to form a plan in her head as she left
Peyton headed into her room where she began to get changed into something more appropriate for going into the bayou as she wore a light brown shirt dress on top of a white cami top and a pair of black leggings with brown knee high boots, she also grabbed her dark grey biker jacket and her brown satchel bag filled with bottles of water as well as maps. She decided to placed her hair into a loose braid on side, she also create lightly smoked eye makeup and natural pink looking lips with lip balm. She knew that Klaus's guards would be on her as soon as she stepped out of the room but she had a plan of attack from them as she headed towards the door to leave and get into her green bug.
" going somewhere?" Diego said coming out of the shadows as she crept up to the door while keeping an eye to see if anyone was near them as she realised what she had to do to leave
" clearly but unfortunately for you, you aren't... I'd feel bad about this if it necessary or you Diego" she said as she caught him off guard by slamming his head against the wall near them
" you know one of these days one of my recuses to you will work and be needed" Elijah said surprising her as he looked down to see Diego's unconscious body laying on the floor by her feet
" maybe, although Klaus probably ordered more guys than just Diego to watch over me" she said knowing that he would never just leave one guy to watch over something he loved
" I wouldn't worry about them, I didn't come alone" he said as two more guards bodies came flying behind them as Rebekah walked out from the same direction as the bodies came from
" Rebekah? I'm glad to see you guys but you shouldn't be here" she said knowing that after recent events they were last people that Klaus would want to see while on the topic of family
" we were hoping that you would come with us so we could take you somewhere safe" Elijah said hoping that she would have had time to see that being with Klaus wasn't the best place
" I'm ok here with Klaus, he wouldn't hurt me... I think I'm the only wolf he wouldn't hurt actually" she said thinking about he had all of the others of her kind to be killed as a way of protection
" what are you talking about?" Rebekah asked since there seemed to be more to that statement than she was saying as she could see that she was worried about something going on
" while Klaus was on a power trip he ordered the werewolves in the bayou to be killed" she said knowing that didn't he mean to hurt her by killing her family but it still hurt and wasn't normal
" we can go help them...can't we, Rebekah?" He said thinking that they could go into the bayou to do whatever was needed in order to get the werewolves to safety away from the vampires
" out in the bayou? Do we look like a blood vampire rescue squad?" She said to her brother as she wondered when they could leave New Orleans to somewhere that didn't have bayous
" it's ok I don't need your help, I have my car which I was planning to drive up to the bayou anyway" she said knowing that her default plan was always to do things on her own and her way
" I'm sorry, you think we're going to let you go to the bayou?" Rebekah said knowing that being in the bayou where a vampire hunting party was was a bad place for a pregnant woman with twins to go
" let me? No one lets me do anything! I've spent years looking for my family and now I've found them I'm not to let them be killed by boyfriend so yeah I'm going to the bayou to help my people" she said getting angry that they all thought that they could tell her what to do
" this one is certainty full of life isn't she?" Elijah said watching as Peyton headed out into the quarter as he smiled before him and Rebekah decided to follow her in case she got into trouble
When they were quiet in the car as they left each other to their thoughts as they arrived at the bayou Rebekah and Elijah sensed that Diego and the other vampires were out in the bayou as they raided the encampment where the werewolves had previously lived as Elijah and Rebekah exchanged a look as they tried to work out what to do about Peyton since it wasn't a good idea to advertise the fact that she was out in the bayou. As they silently decided that they should keep her out of sight as they gestured for her to go into the shack until they came to get her when it was safe as they went to deal with the riffraff that was Marcel's vampire.
" hey, they were obviously here, fan out and find them...bring me some heads" Diego said as they continued to check the camp as Elijah and Rebekah ensured that Peyton was safe
" I'd rather you didn't " Elijah said as he and Rebekah appeared a few meters away from him as they saw this as the best time to reveal themselves to the vampires and to stop them further
"The hell are you doing out here?" He said wondering why the originals were here and why they kept popping up everywhere he turned nowadays which was becoming slowly annoying
" I've come to suggest you seek other hunting grounds, away from the bayou" he said knowing that they were only interested in the pack of werewolves that seemed to be Peyton's family
" Suggestion noted..." Diego said being dismissive of this request since he knew that he had to please Marcel by doing whatever Klaus did plus this meant weakening Klaus's future attempts
" Oh Diego, it would be such a shame to have to rearrange that pretty face" Rebekah said as Diego went to move pass them before she used her speed to get closer to him and grab his face
" What the hell do you care about wolves?" He said wondering what they wanted to save the wolves so badly as he grabbed Rebekah's arm after she tried to punch him in the face
Generally I don't, however this particular clan is not to be touched as they hold some importance to my family...Goodbye" he saying dismissing Diego and the vampire from the camp
" fine...nothing here anyway" he said pretending like it was his idea as he whistled for the hunting party to gesture to them that it was time to go as he gave the original siblings a look
" Peyton, it's safe to come out now" Elijah said as he headed towards the shack to tell that they were gone as Peyton came out of the shack inspecting what the vampire did to the werewolf camp
" does anyone else want to really punch Diego sometimes? Thank you for doing that though" Peyton said as she began to look in the direction they had left in as she looked at them
" Maybe once or twice, well I think as well our job here is done don't you?" Rebekah said knowing that she had own run ins with Diego more than once before when she was with Marcel
"Not quite... We're not here to harm you, Eve was it?" Elijah said as he sensed that there was another supernatural creature out in the bayou watching them from behind the trees
" One of Peyton's litter-mates, I presume?" Rebekah said as the blonde woman called Eve came out of the shadows as she walked towards them holding a wooden stake and a map
"You brought them with you to protect us didn't you?" Eve said talking to Peyton rather than to the two originals by her side as Peyton took a step forward toward her only known family so far
" I told you that I would be back right? Plus in my current condition I couldn't exactly fight off of all those vampires" she said thinking that she probably could and would mostly enjoy it
" we appreciate the concern but we've been looking out for ourselves for a while now" she told her thinking it was sweet of her to think about them but didn't like the originals being involved
" I get wanting to do things on your own but in order for me to meet the rest of my family they have to be alive" she said knowing that was pretty much a key element in finding out where she came from
" speaking of family, there's something I think you and the Mikaelson should know about" she said to them as she began to walk away from them knowing that they would follow her
" I'm guessing that map and stake aren't purely for show then" Rebekah said as they followed Eve over by an overturned table as Elijah flipped it over for her as she placed the map on it
" we're surrounded by 20,000 acres of swamp, the ones born here who know it like the backs of their hands will be fine" Eve said as she gestured to the piece of land that she was referring to
" okay, great but I'm sensing there's more to this" Peyton said wondering if there more werewolves like her that had been abandoned for some reason and placed in other families
" but right here...is filled with newcomers from out of state, they're not of your and my kin" she said to Peyton as she pointed to a different area of the bayou with her stake to show them
" why are they here? It isn't safe for werewolves to be here " Rebekah said wondering if there some type of werewolf festival in the bayou she didn't know about as it seemed they were overrun with werewolves
" word's spread about those babies of yours and a lot of werewolves want to see this miracle pregnancy for themselves" Eve said to Peyton as she nodded towards her growing stomach
" ok, really starting to feel like a some kind freaky road side attraction here" Peyton said not liking the sound of people coming from all over just to see her and her miracle babies grow
" yeah but now the vampires are out looking for blood and all these werewolves new at the Bayou might not know where to hide" she said telling them the real problem at hand right now
" you say that like we're supposed to care" Rebekah said in typical Rebekah fashion as Peyton rolled her eyes at her as she began to remembered why she had been mad in the first place
" unlike you, I actually do care about my family and other people in fact" she said thinking maybe her hormones were beginning to affect her more than she had thought they had been
" Believe me, you're gonna want them kept alive" Eve said showing them all that she clearly knew more than she was letting them believe as they all began to wonder what she knew
" And why is that?" Elijah said wondering whether or not she was going to make the same fatal mistake that the witches did by blackmailing them into helping them save their own kind
" go and see for yourself" Eve said as she folded up the map and handed it to Peyton as she nodded in the right direction as she gave them one final look before walking away from them
As the three of them headed off in the direction that Eve had shown them on the map it began to get darker and darker as night slow began to descend on them as Peyton grabbed a flashlight from her bag since she could only somewhat seen with her werewolf eyesight. They soon arrived at a makeshift camping site filled with trailers which they begin to look through in the hopes that they would be able to look for some kind of clues on where they had gone or why Eve thought they would want to keep them alive other than that they were innocent werewolves.
" well these wolves really travel in style don't they?" Rebekah said looking around the makeshift camp in disgust as Peyton took out a bottle of water from her bag and took a sip from it
" not everyone can live in a big fancy house like the plantation, for some people this is enough to make a home" she said knowing that she had lived in much worse places than the bayou
" this one is empty too" Elijah said coming out of one of the trailers as he noticed that there seemed to be a tension between Rebekah and Peyton from the daggers Peyton was giving
" behind on their payments, perhaps?" Rebekah said as she stood still while letting the others continue to look without her as she still didn't see the reason behind them searching for wolves
" so we keep looking then" Elijah said knowing that it meant a lot to Peyton for them to find and save all the werewolves that they could because she thought this was all her fault
" yeah and you might want to actually help us look" Peyton said filled with attitude as Rebekah decided that enough was enough as she turned to where Peyton was currently looking
" I'm sorry, am I sensing a little anger coming for you? Need I remind you that you're the reason I'm out here?" She said to her confronting the way Peyton was behaving towards her especially
" is that surprising? And do you really want to play the blame game!" She said stopping her search for clues to confront Rebekah about why she was so mad at her over everything
" meaning what exactly?" She said wondering what was the meaning behind her words as Elijah began to worry about being out in the bayou with two angry female supernatural creatures
" meaning that if you hadn't sided with Marcel or if Elijah hadn't believe Tyler then Klaus wouldn't be so hyper aware of family!" She said knowing that he was afraid of more betrayal
" you're right, maybe we shouldn't have done what he did and I'm sorry you are faced with the fallout of that" Elijah said trying to keep the peace between them as he worried about them fighting
" I'm not, you have no idea what's it been like to have Klaus constantly ruin every love I've had" Rebekah said knowing that she was a little sorry that Peyton and the babies were affected by it
" but you keeping coming back despite of it which tells me that you can't think he's all bad and that's why I'm mad!" She said as soon as she stopped they began to hear noises coming closer
"Darling!we need to stop meeting like this, this is how rumors begin!" Elijah said as he grabbed a hold of Diego's hair and pulled him backwards after his hunting party chased werewolf towards them while attacking the wolves
" I don't know, I think you two would make a great couple... Your couple name could be elijgo" Peyton said before going to the injured man who had been bitten as she checked on him
" now it's clear to why these werewolves were out of bounce, because of her!" Diego said thinking that Peyton's presence made sense of everything as he gave her a dirty look
" You can go now... Perhaps I'm not making myself clear here, this is a threat" Elijah said sighing as none of the vampires moved in response to clear and informative words
" Elijah, you're assuming that they know what a threat is" Rebekah said bored as she thought that the quality of vampires had went down slightly throughout the years and had become dumber
" In precisely three minutes time, your little hunting party will become the prey and based on your recent failure to subdue my baby brother Niklaus despite a better than a 100-to-1 advantage. I recommend you heed my warning."he said waiting for his words to sink into them
" now that was impressive!" Rebekah said once Diego huffed in defeat covering his embarrassment up as he left and was soon followed by the rest of the vampires with him
" well I thought the situation demanded something a little dramatic." He said knowing that they weren't just going to go away because he asked nicely as he turned to face the wolves
" you're right about that... Are you guys okay?" She said the male werewolf that had been bitten by one of the vampires with Diego as he groaned in pain while sitting on the floor
" Who are you people?" He asked confused by why two original vampires and a pregnant werewolf was sudden helping him and his people against other vampires in the same city
" I would say the better question is, Who are you?" Elijah said taking a step closer as he noticed something hanging around the man's neck that recognised for a thousand years ago
" what is it? What's going on?" Peyton asked feeling completely out of the loop as she tried to work out what Elijah knew that she didn't or what the looks between Rebekah and him meant
" I remember this ring from back when I was in human as does Rebekah" Elijah said cryptically as she tried to work out what they weren't telling her as she tried to connect the missing dots
After Elijah had decided to question the man who was named Cary and was Klaus's descendant on his biological father's side, he realised that it was time that Peyton went back to the compound since he knew that Klaus would be worried about her disappearing act as well as furious about her involvement in stopping the vampires from killing all of the werewolves that he had ordered to be killed. Eventually late into the night he dropped Peyton off at the compound as she walked inside and avoided the looks she was getting from the vampires that clearly hated her for what she was as she headed to hers and Klaus's shared bedroom, on her way she saw that Davina had moved in and was looking for something
" hey you must be Davina, it's nice to meet you" Peyton said smiling as she realised that the sixteen year old girl could probably do with a friend after everything she had been through
" hi you must be Peyton, Klaus's wife right?" She said with a certain bite that only came rom being a puberty ridden teenager which made Peyton laughs slightly at her comment
" not quite, I'm his girlfriend and the pregnant werewolf...have you lost something?" She said gesturing to the half opened boxes that been done in a hurry after correcting her on the facts
" my violin... I must have left it in the attic" she said as if remembering not packing it away with the rest of her things as Peyton remembered the story Klaus told her about Tim the violist
" why don't you go and get it or I could go if you want? " she said noticing the hesitant look in her eye at the mention of her going out into the French Quarter on her own or even without Marcel
" can you go for me please? I can't go out there, it's not safe for me to be out" she said as Peyton walked further into the room as she noticed her distress over the thought of going out
" here I was thinking that everyone in New Orleans was the ones scared of you and not the other way around" she said sitting down on the floored next to her with a little struggle
" The witches are after me to complete the harvest ritual" Davina said as memories of what the witches did to the other harvest girls before her began to flood her head in a constant loop
" the witches shouldn't be a probably for you anymore, Agnes tried to kill me and my babies so Elijah killed her" Peyton told her remembering hoe she had thought she was going to lose them
" no, if that was true and Agnes was dead then I'm safe, Marcel would've have told me" she sods knowing that Agnes was the last elder and that the witches would be weaker without her
" maybe he didn't want to lose you as his friend or maybe he was worried about you, I'm sure he had his reason" she said trying to comfort her as she wondered if they all had trust issues
" unless you're lying to me and Agnes is still alive" she said suspiciously as she suddenly desperate wished that more than anything that Peyton was lying and Marcel was the good guy
" why would I lie to you, Davina?" She said softly trying to make her think through her previous statement since it didn't really make sense for her to come into her room and lie to her face
" to use me because you want something from me, everyone does" she said thinking about how she has been passed to Klaus by Marcel like some broken toy or someone's possession
" you're right, I do need the help of a witch to break the curse placed on my family by Marcel but I don't do the lying thing and I wouldn't ask you to betray a friend, I'd find another witch" she said knowing that she would never involve a sixteen girl in her werewolf mess with the vampires
" hey you looking for something? I figured with you vacating, the attic would be a safe zone and found this there... Hey Peyton" Josh said holding Tim's violin as he suddenly noticed Peyton
" hey Joshua, you shouldn't be here which is a good thing that I didn't see you here... I'll leave you two alone" she said knowing that Davina could probably benefit of the company of another supernatural outcast
Peyton gave them a gentle smile before leaving Davina's room and walked down the hall to the bedroom she shared with Klaus as she sat down on the trunk at the bottom of the bed so that she could take her boots off since her feet were beginning to hurt from being in the bayou all day after she threw her jacket and bag into one of the chairs by the door. While she was beginning to get ready for bed and putting away her things such as her bag and jacket rim that day she noticed that Klaus walked by the door to notice someone inside their room
" ahh I see you're back then" he said in a slow even tone which told her that he was much more furious with her than he seemed to be as she turned to face him showing him no fear or regret
" it would be appear that way" she said deciding to play his game since she wasn't going to be the one to mention the elephant in the one when it was him that had endangered their people
" did you have a nice day in the bayou? Diego and the others were filled with tales of my girlfriend ruining their hunt" he said beginning to show early signs of his anger as he looked at her
" is this is where I'm supposed to apologise because it's not happening, I did what I had to save my family" she said knowing that she was completely justified in ruining his plans to kill them all
" you undermined my authority and went against my orders!" He said now raising his voice at her as he stepped closer to her expecting her to shrink away or move away but she stood her ground firmly
" your orders? I am your girlfriend not one of your little vampire minions and unfortunately I have a mind of my own" she said knowing that she was never good at following orders
" it would be easier if you were or I could just compel you into doing what I wanted" he said walking towards her as she coolly took her hair out of the braid it had been in all day
" you wouldn't dare and if you did then there would be hell to pay, I wear vervain" she said knowing that she would never live in a house filled with rogue vampires without having vervain
" of course you do... You understand that those guards were meant to protect you and the babies right? " he said remembering how he had found the three guards unconscious because of her and his siblings
