Synopsis

Klaus, Elijah, Kol and Rebekah take down Guerra wolves with the help of Jackson and Kaleb. Some unexptected alliances take place. Hayley tries to take down Francesca.

Mikaelsons take down Guerra wolves

Hayley looks at Kaleb and Jackson and then she runs after Klaus. For the second time in two days she bangs open his room's room. Klaus turns holding a shirt which he was in the process of wearing. Seeing his bare torso Hayley blushes and says "Oh sorry".

She is about to turn when he laughs and says "Nothing you have not seen before love" which makes her stop turning and before she can control it, she is angry "I just came here to say be careful" she says and walks out.

Klaus smiles at her outburst and puts on his shirt. He is down just in time for Kaleb and Jackson to put their things back. He leaves with them without glancing back at Hayley who is standing outside her room glaring at them.

All of them decide to go to bayou first because Elijah is alone and he might need some extra hands to help him take down the wolves. Klaus gets out of his car just in time to see Elijah kicking down a Guerra werewolf. At a glance he sees that there are three Guerra wolves fighting. He sees the guy who is in the about to attack Elijah. He catches him by his neck and bites him. The werewolf screams in pain and falls down. Elijah looks around at his brother for a second and realizes that the curse has been lifted. Then he turns and pulls the heart of the Guerra werewolf he has pinned down out. Klaus snaps the neck of another Guerra and takes his heart out. Jackson runs to help one of his pack member who seem to be hurt. Klaus walks up to them and bites his wrist to offer the injured guy his blood. The man looks at Klaus and is about to refuse when Jackson tells him to take the blood. As soon as he drinks the blood he start to cure. Klaus gets up and looks at Elijah with a smirk on his face. "Only Francesca and Oliver left. Have you heard anything from Kol and Rebekah"

"No" Elijah says and they both walk towards their car "Jackson we are going to the other side to help them, you guys stay here and tend to the wounded" Elijah tells them.

Elijah and Klaus reach the other side of the river but everything seems fine. No Guerra wolves have attacked his pack this time. Kol and Rebekah have decided to stay if they decide to show.

Klaus realizes that his daughter has inherited her mother's family legacy

Next morning Klaus stops at her door which is wide open so he walks in. Hope is on her play mat lying her tummy trying to touch the toys attached to it. Hayley has put the play mat on her bed. She is just in diapers. At that moment Hayley comes into the room. She is drying her hair with the towel. "It is really hot and humid today" she says to him. Klaus goes and sits next to Hope on the bed.

Suddenly Klaus sees something on her back which he touches softly. He remembers seeing that mark on her mother and a werewolf from 1919. He looks at Hayley "Yes she is a crescent by birth" Hayley says to him "but I don't think they will accept her in their pack".

She walks back into the washroom to brush her hair and does not see that Klaus is looking at her. He knows how important her pack was to her. Hayley comes back. She sees Klaus lying next to Hope who is on her back now and he is tickling her and smiling as Hope is giggling. Klaus realizes that she is watching him. He stops tickling her, picks her up and leaves her room.

After he leaves Hayley picks up Hope's things from her bed and puts them in the nursery. She is feeling very lonely so she picks up her cell and calls Jackson. But hearing his voice is too much for her so she cuts him off. Before she knows it she is crying. After a couple of minutes she wipes her tears, freshens up her face and goes down to sitting room where she knows everyone is gathering. Klaus and Kol are sitting opposite to Elijah and Rebekah and they are discussing over some papers. She walks in and sits next to Rebekah. Klaus has Hope on his lap and as usual her hand is in her mouth. He looks at her for a second and then resumes what he was saying

"So as per Marcel" he looks down at his daughter "her grandparents know now that she is alive …"

"That means Marcel also knows" Rebekah pips in

Klaus looks at her and says "Yes Davina has managed to break my compulsion. He remembers everything now. I don't think anyone of them knows that Hope is back otherwise Marcel would have mentioned it to us" he ignores Rebekah's scoff when he says that "I honestly don't believe that Marcel will be a party to harm Hope. Remember he did save her from Monique" his eyes lock with Hayley's for a second and by the look of them realizes that she is reliving that horrible moment too. "I think he will be willing to help us protect Hope from our maniac parent"

Elijah knows what he is going to say next so before Klaus can say it he asks "Are you sure it is a good idea?"

Hayley looks at him in bewilderment "What idea?"

Elijah does not look at her and keeps his eyes focused on Klaus who is also looking at him and says "allowing Marcel to come back"

Kol is the first one to protest. "No way. I for one don't trust him. Especially not with Hope"

Hayley remembers clearly about what Elijah had said about Kol not being forgiving like Klaus. She looks at Rebekah to see her reaction who seems to be lost in thoughts too.

Klaus leans back against the sofa while Elijah gets up and start to pace the room thinking. Rebekah is also thinking. Seeing all of them absorbed in their thoughts Kol gets up and says frustratingly "are you guys forgetting what he has done to Nik or with Rebekah?"

Everyone looks at each other hoping that no one will mention anything about 1919. Klaus shifts Hope in his arms because he can feel her drooping on his chest "Listen Kol what has happened is in past now. We have to think about future and Marcel can be a great asset. I want to include him in this mission"

"No Niklaus we have to decide on this unanimously" Elijah says. He looks at Kol "I too agree with Niklaus but you, Rebekah and Hayley will have to agree too for us to bring Marcel back. This is a family and protecting Hope is all of our job" He looks at Hope who has gone asleep in Klaus arms.

Hayley looks at Klaus "How can you trust him after what he has done to you?" Klaus is not expecting Hayley to ask her this but he says "I just do. I know what ever beef he has with me he will not hurt my… our daughter"

Kol looks from Hayley to Klaus and says "If you two are willing to give him a chance then you can go ahead but I am not going to allow that" and leaves the room.

Elijah looks at Klaus who is sitting there thinking something "Niklaus, No" he recognizes the rebellious look on his face "No, Niklaus, we will not make a decision without a mutual consent" before he can stop himself the words are out "remember what happened last time when you went behind my back". When Klaus looks at him with expressions as if someone has punched him on his face he realizes what he has said. Everyone is stunned but nobody more than Klaus who is just staring at Elijah. He rubs his hand against his forehead in guilt. Elijah looks at Klaus who has gotten up, given Hope to Hayley and is leaving. He calls him "Nikla…" but he does not stop. Elijah drops his hands in frustration and leaves too.

Marcel and Davina join alliance with Klaus and his siblings

Klaus walks into the bar. He is steaming at what Elijah has just said. He asks the bartender to pour him a whisky. After a couple of minutes sitting there he gets up and leaves and goes to the warehouse to meet Marcel. On seeing Davina with Marcel he stops. His hands are itching to choke her but he stops himself. Josh gets up from the chair he is sitting. When he sees Klaus walking towards them angrily he gets up thinking that Klaus is there to hurt Davina. Marcel registers the anger on Klaus's face so he prepares himself for what might happen.

He steps forward and raise his hands to stop Klaus and Josh and says "Okay okay we are on the same side" when Josh looks at him with confusion "Josh go. Everything is okay here"

After Josh leaves Klaus glares at Davina "Give me one good reason why shouldn't I break your pretty neck?"

He starts to pace angrily "First Marcel and now you" he points at both of them "why you have to bring my father back?" he asks angrily "I hope you two are realizing now what kind of man he is"

Davina angrily takes a step towards him and before Marcel can say anything "It is because how you treat people that in desperation to protect our loves one we have made decisions which we shouldn't have. It is all your fault"

Before Davina knows Klaus is inches away from her. If Marcel has not stopped him he might have broken her neck. Klaus looks into Marcel face who is sanding between him and Davina, laughs and backs away.

"Yes it is all fault. Everyone around me is innocent right?" Klaus raises his hands. "Right Marcel. I was so cruel to you that you had to call my father to get me killed right?" he looks at Marcel who flinches then his eyes travel to Davina "I killed Tim I am sorry for that but other than what have I done to deserve this?"

Davina angrily says to him "you bit Josh, you bit Marcel. You compelled Cami and Josh. Where should I stop?"

"I compelled Cami because I didn't want her to get involved in our lives. I bit Josh because YOU were not telling me about where Marcel was hiding. The only way you would have told me was if somebody you love was in danger. Josh is a vampire, he cannot die so I bit him. I said I will cure him but I got distracted trying to protect my new born daughter from the witches. You knew all time what those witches were planning to do"

"No, I didn't" Davina suddenly says "I swear I didn't. If I had known I would have done anything to protect your baby"

"You are lying" Klaus shouts pointing at her

"No I am not. I am sorry for what happened to your daughter and Hayley. I truly am" Tears come in Davina's eyes. "I will not hurt a baby" she looks at Marcel "you believe me don't you"

Klaus drops his hands in defeat.

"I am sorry that my friends tried to kill your daughter but I promise you that I will protect her now. You must have send her away right with Rebekah probably because NOLA is not safe for her. If she is ever back in NOLA I will protect her, we will protect her" Davina says to him

He just stares at her for a few moments and then leaves without saying a word to either of them.

After he leaves Davina turns to Marcel and says "Marcel, Esther have the white oak stake"

"D we need to get that stake back from her" Marcel says to her. She nodes, hugs him and leaves.

Lenore and Esther form alliance on a common mission

Esther is writing down a spell in the grimoire she is compiling for herself when she realizes that someone is watching her. She looks up and sees a young girl standing at the door. She hastily puts the white oak stake away which she has gotten from Davina when the girl walks in. She walks around the table at the center of the witch yard. She stops right in front of Esther "You must be Esther, the ancestor responsible for bringing the death of the harvest girls"

Esther says "who are you?"

The girl says "Lenore and I have the same mission as you"

"which is?" Esther asks

"Killing Klaus Mikaelson's daughter" Lenore says seriously

"why do you want to kill her?" Esther asks

"why do you want to kill her ?" Lenore asks

"I asked you first" Esther says

"That child should not have been born. She is too powerful. Combination of a hybrid and a werewolf with witch genes mixed in them. If she gets in the wrong hands she can bring destruction to this world. Now I know that you want to kill her because of your relationship with your son Klaus Mikaelsons. Yes I know about all of your history" she smiles and adds "considering your hatred for him I assume that you and I can work together to achieve our goal"

"I don't just want to kill her I want to kill all of them" Esther says

"Alright let us handle that child first and then we can move on to your kids" she says "so we have a deal?" she asks

When Esther nodes Lenore smiles and leaves the witch yard.

Marcel joins the inner circle of trust

Elijah is pacing in his room. He cannot get over the guilt he is feeling about what he has said to Niklaus. He just sometimes have difficulty accepting it that Niklaus was unable to stop the witches from killing Hayley. If he had not starting that plan about the moon night rings Francesca and Genevieve wouldn't have made a deal with each other and Hayley would not have been kidnapped and wouldn't have died. A part of his mind tells him that it is not just Klaus's fault. If he had not left Hayley with Genevieve, she wouldn't have been kidnapped by that bitch. All these thoughts are going in his mind when he hears someone. He turns and sees that it is Hayley "Hayley are you okay?"

"Yes just a bit tired" she walks in his room. Hayley has never been in his room before. It matches his personality sober and sophisticated but she was expecting that.

"I was wondering about what Klaus said about Marcel. I think we should tell him everything. I think Klaus does have a point. Marcel will never hurt a baby especially mine. After all he was the one who saved me when I was Hope's age"

At Elijah's confused expressions Hayley tells him what Marcel has told her about her protecting her and the reason for cursing the crescent pack.

Elijah is so taken back by this explanation that he just stares at her "And do you believe him?"

"Yes I do. I think he is hiding some details but the bottom line is he has now saved two people of my blood line – me and my daughter- so yes I think he will protect Hope too and for that he needs to know the truth" She says to him

Elijah looks at her thoughtfully "I see that you and Niklaus are on the same page but we need to think through everything before we let him in with our secret. Kol needs to get on board too"

"I am in but don't expect me to start loving him all of sudden" Kol says from the door way where he has been standing and listening to them for the past couple of minutes. He leaves them standing there. Hayley looks at Elijah with a smile that makes his heart flutter very fast.

Hayley is leaving his room as Klaus enters the compound. He has seen her leaving Elijah's room. Trying to ignore the jealousy he is feeling he walks to his room. "Elijah Davina and Marcel are willing to stand by us"

"You went to them" Hayley is there in an instant. She has heard him saying that to Elijah on her way to her room and come back "you went to them" she says in disbelief "why?"

"Because I wanted to know what is their position love and I was right". He walks into Elijah's room "Marcel and Davina are on our side. They know that Hope is alive but they think that Rebekah has taken her. I think if we truly want them on our side it is better that we tell them that she is back rather than them finding out from some other means"

"Yes call him to meet us here" Elijah tells him and leaves the room with Hayley and Klaus in it. Klaus takes out his cell and leaves the room. Hayley can hear him talking to Marcel. Klaus tells Marcel to come to the compound that evening. He then leaves the compound again. He gets into his car and drives to the bayou. The first thing he sees is a small girl playing with ball. She throws the ball at him. Klaus picks it up and throws it gently towards her. She gives him a shy smile and runs away screaming "uncle Jackson, uncle Jackson you friend is here?"

In a couple of minutes Jackson is walking out with Kaleb. The confused expressions on Jackson's face are gone. "Kaleb is there a protection spell that we can do on Hope?" Klaus asks him as soon as he sees them

"why what happened?" he suddenly looks alarmed.

"No she is fine. I was wondering for future" Klaus says to her

Kaleb thinks for a moment "Yes there are some spells I have been looks into but none of them I have looked into come without a price Klaus. They are dark magic because protection spells are used by people to protect themselves from harm and death and cheating death is not natural. I am not going to perform a dark spell on your daughter. This is exactly what my mother send me here for to protect her from- the influence of dark magic."

Klaus angrily advances to Kaleb "If you know a spell you will do it on my daughter"

Jackson steps between them "Klaus I have to agree with Kaleb. I know you are worried about her. We all care about her. Nothing will happen to her with all of us protecting her. Nothing. But we will not use dark magic to protect her. She is pure right now let us try to keep her that way"

Klaus looks at him "she is not your daughter Jackson. I want her to be protected"

"Yes she is not my daughter but I care about her. She is a crescent and hence my family" Jackson says calmly "think about it"

"Give me some time I will come up with something" Kaleb assure Klaus

Klaus glares at both of them for a few seconds and then forces himself to calm down "Okay. You two need to come to the compound. Marcel is coming. We are telling him about Hope. I want all of us to be there so that we all are on the same page about our future plans"

Klaus enters the compound with Jackson and Kaleb. They go to the sitting room where they are joined by Elijah, Kol and Rebekah after a couple of minutes.

"Where is Hayley" Klaus asks

"I think she is putting Hope to sleep" Rebekah tells him

"Okay so Marcel will be here anytime. Hayley and Hope don't have to be here. I have asked Kaleb and Jackson to join us so that Marcel knows our inner circle" Klaus leaves the room before saying anything else. He stops at her room and knocks before entering.

"In here" she calls from the nursery. He walks in and sees that she is changing Hope. She turns and smiles at him. He has started to love that casual smile of hers. He walks in the nursery and stops near Hope. She has a rattle in her hand and is shaking it. She beams when she sees him and shakes the rattle even harder. Klaus brushes his fingers on her cheek. Then he playfully tickles her torso which is still bear as Hayley has not buttoned her romper yet. She giggles even harder. Klaus gently removes Hayley's hand from the button she is snapping and takes over. Hayley picks up Hopes things and puts them in their rightful place. He picks up Hope and takes her to Hayley's bed with the bottle in his hand. He sits there with her in his lap and gives her the bottle. She starts to drink it. He feels her entering the room and says without looking at her "Marcel is coming in a couple of minutes. Do you want to come down? I don't want him to see Hope yet". She nodes which he acknowledges and goes to the bathroom to freshen up.

When Hayley comes out Klaus is gone. She walks in the nursery and sees that she is sleeping in her nursery with a light pink blanket on her. She turns the baby light on and closes the door a bit. She then leaves the room and goes into the sitting room. Marcel has arrived.

"hello Marcel" she enters the room and goes and sits next to Klaus on the bar.

It has been a couple of minutes since Marcel has arrived in the compound. He misses this place after all it was his home for 90 years. He looks around and walks into the sitting room. He sees Elijah, Kol, Rebekah, Jackson and another guy sitting in the compound. Elijah gets up and walk up to him. He shakes his hand and offers him a seat. At that moment Klaus enters the room followed by Hayley a few minutes later

"This is Kaleb" Elijah points at the stranger "Kaleb meet Marcel Gerald"

Kaleb and Marcel shake hands with each other. While shaking his hands Marcel notices the playpen in the corner of the room. He stops for a second and turns around and looks at Klaus who realizes that he knows. They both stare at each other for a couple of seconds. Marcel takes his hand back from Kaleb. "So this is what you wanted to tell me. Has she been here from start or just brought back?"

At that moment Rebekah enters the room. Marcel looks at her. She walks to the bar and pours a drink. She takes the drink to Marcel "so welcome to the inner circle" she has heard everything. Marcel takes the drink from her hand "so where is she?" he asks Klaus

"Sleeping right now" Hayley tells him.

"Hey Kaleb, Jackson" Rebekah says and walks up to him. Marcel turns around and looks from Kaleb to Rebekah and laughs. "How long have you guys known?" He asks them

"I found out on last full moon so not too long but Kaleb here knew all along but the point is she is alive and save and that is the way we want to keep her right?" Jackson says

Marcel listens to his logic and nodes. He gulps the drink down his throat. "What about Davina? You want to tell her that she is back in the compound?"

"Davina gets crazy sometimes so I am not sure how much I want to trust her with this" Hayley says before anyone speaks "She hates Klaus and that makes her blind to everything so let's keep this a secret for a little longer okay Marcel" she walks to him "you once saved me and my daughter, will you protect her in future too?" Marcel looks down in her eyes and nodes.

Marcel turns and looks at their inner circle of trust. He notices Rebekah standing very close to Kaleb. He feels the pang of jealousy in his heart. He nodes to Klaus. Klaus gets up and leads Marcel out but Elijah calls him before they can leave "Marcel this is very sensitive information so take care that it is well protected" Marcel stops and looks at Elijah. He nodes and leaves with Klaus.

Girl bonding

Hayley is really feeling agitated. It has been couple of hours since Marcel left. She cannot seem to sleep. She looks at Hope in the nursery and thinks for a moment, changes and then leaves the room.

She is standing outside his door thinking whether she should do it or not but then she knocks. Klaus opens the door a couple of seconds later. He has a brush in his hand. 'Painting' Hayley thinks "Listen I want to go out. Can you do whatever you are doing" she points at his brush "in my so that you can keep an eye on Hope?"

"what?" he is confused for a moment. Then he realizes that she is looking tired "You okay?" he asks her.

"No I am not okay. I need to go out so I am going out alone or may be with Rebekah. Will you keep an eye on Hope?" she asks him feeling really agitated. Klaus leans against the door frame. He is recognizing the withdrawal system. "When was the last time you…"

"don't you dare complete that sentence" she tells him and leaves. He hears her and Rebekah talking and then sees them leaving.

He leaves her painting things in his room and goes into her room First he checks on Hope, straightens her blanket and then lays down on her bed after taking off his shirt.

Hayley and Rebekah enter Devaraux bar and see that Cami is serving at the counter. Cami beams when she sees Hayley. She almost runs towards her "Hayley it is so nice to see you" then she gets serious "I am so sorry for you loss. Last time when you were here we didn't get a chance to talk but if you want to talk I am here for you"

It takes Hayley a second to realize what she is talking about. She gives her a sad smile to keep up the appearances "Thank you Cami you are so sweet"

Rebekah and Hayley sit on an empty table. Cami brings them their drinks and looks around. "I have a really busy shift so I cannot sit but once I get off I want to talk to you" she tells Hayley.

Rebekah and Hayley sit there silently drinking their bear. "This is nice. We should do it more often" Rebekah says

"yes we should" Hayley says.

"You know I have to admit I didn't expect my brother to take on fatherhood so nicely and you are turning out to be a great mother. I must say that you two are great parents for her" Rebekah says

"Shhhh someone might hear you" Hayley nervously looks around. Then she gasps. Rebekah turns and sees Francesca walking in the bar. She turns to stop Hayley but Hayley is already out of her seat and moving towards Francesca and punches her on her face. Francesca is not ready for her "You bitch" Francesca wipes her nose which is bleeding profoundly.

"Hayley nice to see you walking around. It seems that you are still mad at me. Believe me I never meant to hurt your daughter. It was you or us so I made a calculated decision. You and your daughter were jus…" Francesca says with a smile on her lips

Seeing that smile makes Hayley see stars. She grabs her from her throat before she can finish her sentence and before she knows it her fangs are out that is when Francesca realizes what Hayley has become. Seeing fear in her eyes gives Hayley some satisfaction. Cami runs towards them "Hayley please don't do it. My customer are getting scared" Hayley looks around at Cami's pleading face. She lets go of her throat. Francesca coughs and leaves the bar. Soon after Hayley and Rebekah too leave

"Wow that was a good night. You feel better?" Rebekah asks her "much better" Hayley laughs.

They get into their car and after getting back to the compound go to their separate rooms. Hayley enters her room and the first thing that she sees is Klaus lying on his stomach on her bed without a shirt on. She takes off her sandals without making any sound and goes to the bath room. She comes out with clothes changed, goes in the nursery to check on Hope. Hope is still sleeping. She comes back sees Klaus lying on his bed. She picks up the blanket and goes to the couch and lays down on it. Before she knows it she has gone to sleep.

He doesn't know what woke him up. He looks around and realizes that he is in Hayley's room. He gets up. At first he does not see her but then he sees that she is sleeping on the couch. He walks towards her. She is sleeping peacefully with hair covering her cheeks. He absentmindedly moves them away from her cheek. He suddenly realizes what he is doing and stops doing it. He bends down and picks her up. As soon as he picks her up her eyes open.

Hayley looks into those blue green eyes. She is very sleepy.

"Did I wake you love" she startles back to earth when she hears Klaus saying that. She also realizes that he is not wearing any shirt and her hand is on his chest. She must have put it there when she woke up so suddenly. She takes off her hand feeling very conscious. He takes her to her bed gently puts her down, picks up his shirt and leaves.
