... continuation of "First step"
Klaus took one step forward but he couldn't enter the room. Lenore laughed and said "you really thought that it would be that easy to approach me"
Klaus looked at Kol who was fuming and then before Klaus could do anything Kol has broken the wooden posts on the railing of stair case and threw it in the room. The sharp edge of the wood piece pierced through her heart and went into the wall behind her. Lenore fell on her knees with blood coming out of her mouth. Kol looked at Klaus and smirked. He tried to step in but he couldn't and then to both of their surprise they saw her standing up. And to their further surprise they both saw healing.
Kol looked at his brother and said "what is going on here? How is she healing?"
They both turned and saw Kaleb running up the stairs. He asked them "what is going on? I heard shouts"
"She is healing from that big hole in her heart. That is what is going on. Would you like to elaborate what is going on here" Klaus asked him in a sarcastic tone.
Kaleb looked at Lenore and then her wound healing and then he narrowed his eyes at her expressions and said "she has done an immortality spell on herself"
Klaus gave a harsh laugh and said "this is freaking great so what do we do now?"
Kaleb stared at Lenore who walked to him.
Lenore looked at Kaleb and said "You are a disgrace to the witch community. Siding with these abominations"
Klaus laughed and said sarcastically before Kaleb could say anything "By any chance have you met our parents?"
Kol stared at her and then said "From this moment onwards until I kill you I will not rest"
"Yes you do try that" Lenore said with a sneer and then closed the door on their faces.
Kaleb turned to them and said "Technically she died so maybe the curse is broken. May be we should check on Hope first and then we will think about what to do with her"
Kol asked "If she died then why couldn't we enter the room?"
Klaus said angrily "because she came back before we tried to get into the room"
When Kaleb nodded he said to him "It is getting late. Do you want me to drop you off at bayou?"
Kaleb nodded as they sat in his car. In 30 minutes Klaus had dropped him off and they had reached the compound.
Klaus and Kol went to Hayley's room. She was pacing the room. She turned when she heard him and said "her temperature has gone down. What happened?"
Klaus took a deep breath. Kol patted his shoulder and left them. He walked into the nursery and looked down in the crib and said "We killed her but then she came back. Kaleb's theory is as she had died first so the connection was broken"
"She came back!" Hayley turned him towards her and asked in surprised tone
"Yes she had done some sort of immortality spell on herself" Klaus said rubbing the back of his neck.
"Immortality spell!" Hayley exclaimed and then asked "so how are we going to kill her?"
Klaus laughed and said "look how far you have come love. Talking about killing someone so casually"
Hayley blushed just for a second and then she said to him "You know what I am capable of for my family"
Klaus looked into her eyes and said in a serious tone "yes I know love"
He then went to his room thinking that she had never brought her past act in Mystic Fall in all the time he had known her. He changed his clothes and laid down on his bed and in no time he had fallen asleep.
Hayley couldn't sleep thinking about Lenore. She managed to get a shut eye near dawn.
Klaus was deep in sleep when he heard a cry. His eyes flew open as he realized that it was Hope. He whooshed to Hayley's room. Hayley was sleeping whereas Hope's voices were coming from the nursery so he went there. He picked her up and made a bottle for her and after giving it to her he put her back in the crib. Hope's eyes were already closing. He closed the nursery door and came out. He was leaving her room when he looked at her peaceful face. Looking at her sleeping so peacefully a desire woke in him. He closed the bedroom door and walked to the bed and laid next to her. He gently pulled her towards him.
Hayley stirred in sleep and then she felt a hand around her waist. She touched it and smiled in her sleep. She could sense him, smell him. She was really sleepy so she snuggled against him. She then felt his lips on the side of her neck that made her smile and open her eyes. She turned towards him and looked into his eyes which had no traces of sleep in them. She put her hand on his cheek and smiled. Klaus slid his hands from her waist to the nape of her neck and then into her hair and pulled her towards him gently and kissed her. Their legs got tangled. Hayley's hand inched to his back. It slid under his shirt and she brushed her hand against his skin and then pulled it back which made him broke his kiss. He looked into her mischievous eyes. Klaus whispered with a smile on his face "Oh no you don't want to play that game with me"
"Yes I do" Hayley says with a smile. She was now fully awake.
"Okay then but remember you started it" Klaus said with a smile.
She smiled and put her hands under his shirt and started to move it up and then pulled it off his head making him lie straight on the bed while not breaking their eye contact.
Klaus wanted her to touch him, kiss him but he knew that she was just torturing him and he was not going to give in that easily.
Hayley sat next to him thinking about getting on him.
He looked into her mischievous eyes for a second and seeing that she was clueless what he was thinking he flipped her over using his vamp speed. Now he was over her with his knees on her either side.
Hayley laughed as her back hit the mattress. Klaus said with a smile "my turn now"
He put his hands on her bare thighs making her shiver and slid then over them passing her undergarment he teased them a bit. Seeing her eyes shine made him excited. He moved his hands up bringing the night shirt up with them. When he reached her breast he stopped and bend his head and kissed her naval. He smiled when her body arched. He looked up at her and then moved her lips so close to her skin without touching her skin but just blowing it while his hands pulled the night shirt off her head. His lips found her naked breast but didn't touch them. He looked into her eyes and winked.
She fumed at his reaction and said "I will make you pay for this"
"And how will you do that?" Klaus asked while his hands started ideally playing with her breast.
He looked into her eyes and saw the result of the torture he was making her go through and smiled. He wanted to break her, wanted her to ask for more.
Hayley felt herself going weak and she held his head and made him look into her eyes and whispered "I lose"
Klaus laughed and then kissed her on her mouth hard. Hayley flipped him over fumbling with his pants. They took off each other's remaining clothing items. He ran his hands from her thigh to her breast and kissed her.
Hayley was so lost in the kiss that she didn't realize that he had rolled them again. He broke that kiss and moved them to her neck finding that weak spot. He was kissing her neck and his soft lips were moving down from her neck to her breast to her torso not breaking the contact making her squirm in pleasure until they reached her naval.
She wanted more but he looked up and while looking into her eyes he shifted up and then parted her legs with his legs and entered her.
Hayley pulled him closer to her and kissed him. Soon they were moving together in perfect rhythm. She dug her nails in his back and held him tight while he drove her to climax.
Klaus felt himself being pulled towards her and the contact of her lips on his neck was too much for him. He pulled himself back and looked into her eyes and said "Hayley I want us to be exclusive to each other"
Hayley looked into his eyes and said "we are"
Klaus asked her again still holding her in that position "Yes but future too …."
He couldn't finish his sentence. Hayley stared at him and from his expressions he couldn't gauge whether he knows the importance of those words or not.
She shifted a bit but he held her in that position and said "I know I am asking a lot but…" He couldn't finish his sentence.
She looked into his eyes which were shinning right now. There was no sadness, no loneliness which normally haunted them and she realized that she liked them that way. She propped herself into a little until her mouth was near his ear and said "yes"
Hayley fell back on the bed with a smile and saw a huge smile on his face which reached his eyes too and then he let himself go making her suddenly gasp and hold on to him tightly. He fell on her gently planting kisses on the side of her neck. Hayley giggled and kissed him too on his neck. Klaus lifted himself from her and fell back on the mattress sighing. He pulled her towards him and wrapped an arm around her. Soon they both drifted off to sleep.
Next time when his eyes opened, she was still in his arms sleeping soundly. The sun had come up but it was still early. One look on the clock on the wall told him that Hope will be up in half an hour. He fingered the heavy brown locks of her hair and rubbed her naked shoulder.
Hayley opened her eyes and thinking about last night she propped herself up and looked at him with a smile. Klaus smiled at her and said "thanks"
"For what?" Hayley asked him
"For not rejecting me" He said in a serious tone
"And why would you think that I will reject you" Hayley asked with annoyance "and don't say that because you don't deserve it"
When he didn't say anything she raised her eyebrow and said "no answer! Good"
Klaus smiled and pulled her towards him and said in a soft voice "I cannot promise that I will change but I will try to keep you and Hope happy" and then kissed her on her lips
Hayley kissed him back and then leaned back and said "I don't want you to change. I fell in love with you and if you change that will be a problem for me" she said mischievously
Klaus smiled thinking how much better he feels about himself when she ensures her love for him. He sat up and put on his clothes when she said "I think we should tell everyone"
"Tell what?" Klaus turned to her and said
"About us" Hayley said with a serious expression.
Klaus stood up and picked his shirt and said "there is nothing to tell. They know about us". As he pulled the shirt over his head she said "I know but …"
She bit her lips and then asked him "What do you have in mind when you asked me to be exclusive to each other?"
Klaus straighten his shirt and walked to her and held her hand and said "that we will not be someone else"
"Hmm" Hayley said
Klaus asked her in confusion "what?"
"I thought you wanted to …." Hayley started but couldn't finish her sentence
Klaus looked into her eyes and understood what she was saying. He asked "Do you really think that marriage is in there for us?"
She said folding her arms across her chest.
"Yes why not. I have been looking for my family all my life. You want someone in your life too. We already have a family" she looked towards the nursery and then continued "I think we both are perfect for each other"
Klaus looked at her for a second thinking about what Elijah had talked to him a couple of days ago. He sighed and said "Okay let's talk about it after we handle Lenore"
"And what if we cannot handle her in let say for a couple of months. Then what?" Hayley said with frustration.
When he didn't answer she said "Look if we keep on postponing our life decisions for later after we solve our problems or finish off our enemies then we will never be able to find happiness. I say go with the flow and we keep on fighting our enemies along the way" Hayley got up and said to him while putting on her night gown "It is not that I am not happy with the way things are going but sometimes I just want to…."
She couldn't complete her sentence and looked at him when he didn't answer and asked "what are you thinking?"
He said with a smile "nothing"
Hayley took a deep breath and then said "so what are we going to do about this Lenore?"
Klaus looked at her for a while and then said "I am not sure. I am leaning on Kaleb and Davina to my deep displeasure and hope that they come up with something to break the spell"
He then kissed her and then left her room. After changing his clothes he went downstairs in the sitting room.
Elijah was pacing in the sitting room when he heard Klaus come in.
He asked Klaus "so what happened with Lenore?"
"She has done an immortality spell on herself" Klaus said with annoyance and sat down on the sofa.
"Immortality spell!" Elijah said in surprise and then he asked "is there any way of breaking it"
"I don't know" Klaus said shrugging his shoulder "but Hope is fine. We managed to kill her so the spell was broken but we have to find a way to kill her once and for all"
Then he added "maybe we can use something from that vault of yours. Don't you think it is about time I see that for myself too?"
"No Niklaus that vault will only be accessed when we have ran out of our other options" Elijah said sternly
Klaus sighed and then dialed Kaleb's number.
Kaleb was pacing the hut when he heard his cell ringing. He picked it up and said "I was thinking about that if we somehow get her blood then I may be able to do something"
Klaus said sarcastically "fantastic idea Kaleb. She is within a boundary spell. We cannot get near her. How will we be able to get her blood?"
"Well that is the tricky part right!" Kaleb said in his usual calm.
"Okay let me talk to Davina. May be she will have something to add to your idea" Klaus said
Elijah turned around from looking outside from the window and then took out his cell and called Cami "Hello, How are you Camille?"
"Elijah! Is everything okay" Klaus smiled hearing Cami's surprised voice
"Yes everything is okay. I wanted to ask you a quick question" Elijah said ignoring Klaus's smile
He then continued "Do you think that there is something there which can help us draw blood from a person from a distance". He looked at Klaus who smirked
"You mean…" Cami asked
"Yes that is precisely what I mean" Elijah said
"I don't know I can ask Davina. There is that devil-star that Marcel used to kill Monique" Cami said after a quiet of couple of seconds.
"Yes that would work" Elijah said and then he said to her "we need that Cami"
Cami looked around in her room and sighed. She asked him "Why do you need it Elijah?"
Elijah said to her "Cami you have to trust me on this one. I promise we will just use it for one person only"
She asked him "is this for Lenore? Davina told me about the issue you guys are having with her. Do you intend to kill her with this?"
She could hear his sigh and smiled. Listening to a frustrated sigh of a 1000 year old vampire was a music to her ears. She heard him say "she cannot die because of the immortality spell on her. To break that spell we have to have her blood"
Cami thought for a moment and then said with determination "I can get it for you"
