Synopsis

Mikaelson's family's troubles are far from over. Klaus forms some new unexpected enemies. Someone discovers a secret that Klaus has been hiding. Davina senses danger

Klaus and his secret

Hayley stops right outside his room and thinks for a second whether to knock or not. After last night there should not have a need to. A smile appears on her lips at the memory of last night. At last they are together officially. Then out of habit she gently knocks his room door and then enters when he sees him coming in plain view.

"Hey" Klaus says to her with a smile on his lips.

Hayley enters the room noticing that he is not wearing a shirt and on second glance she realizes that he has been painting. She hesitates at bit and then leans in and kisses him on his lips.

Klaus can feel the tension in her body when she is kissing him which makes him laugh. She has kissed him before so why she nervous is now and then he thinks about last night and he smiles while kissing her back. He feels her body relaxing.

She steps back and says "hi" and then when they both don't say anything for a couple of seconds Hayley laughs consciously and says "I am going to bayou to meet Jackson".

She laughs again seeing his eyes narrowing "Oh come on, you know that there is nothing going on between him and me"

Klaus looks at her for a second and then says seriously "People always leave me"

Hayley at first thinks that he is joking but the serious look on his face is telling a different story so she says with serious expressions "I am not people okay! Get this out of your head that I will cheat you or leave you" she touches his cheek gently and then adds "anyway I am going to meet Jackson and Kaleb; okay now are you okay with it?"

He nods and tries to smile at what she has said. He is lost in thoughts about the times when her supposed lovers had left him but then is brought back to earth when she says "Hope is home. She is sleeping in her room. IF she gets up can you take care of her?" she asks him curiously

"Yes I can. You go and have fun with you buddies" Klaus says with fake annoyance. He then turns when she says "You know, this jealousy issue can be resolved. I have a solution", Klaus stops turning and looks back at her and sees that she is smiling mischievously.

Hayley looks at his questioning face and then says "You can always marry me" and while looking at his stunned expressions she laughs and leaves.

Hayley goes to bayou and when she sees Jackson she runs to him and hugs him. He takes her in his hut where Kaleb is sitting on the floor with a little girl playing with her.

"Hey Hayley to what we owe this visit?" Kaleb smiles at her and then tell to the little girl "Mandy honey I have to talk to my friend now. Can we play a bit later?"

Mandy looks at him and then Hayley and says "is she your girlfriend? She is pretty"

Everyone laughs and Hayley advances to her and says "No honey, I am not his girlfriend. I just came to talk to him as he is my very good friend"

Mandy smiles shyly and runs out.

"So first question to you Kaleb why didn't you tell me about Hope?" Hayley turns to him and asks him seriously.

Kaleb sighs and says "I told Klaus. Didn't he tell you?"

"He did but you didn't. You should have told me … us together when we were here for the gene testing. Klaus told me why you didn't tell me so I kind of understand but please from now onwards you cannot hide anything from me especially related to Hope. Okay?" Hayley says to him very seriously.

Kaleb nods and then says "Okay I have to go now. I will be back in a couple of hours. I am helping Cami with her second blood drive mission"

Hayley looks around and see Jackson standing on the other side of the table looking at her. The way he is looking at her makes her blush. She starts "Jackson…"

"It is okay Hayley. It will take some time for me to get used to the idea that you and I will never be together. I have spent my whole life thinking about us, following you, trying to protect you so it will take some time to adjust to the idea that you have fallen for the father of your baby which is to be expected" Jackson smiles and says to her

"How do you know that Klaus and I…" Hayley asks him in surprise

Jackson laughs at her surprised expressions and says "I think everyone can see that you two are very compatible for each other. It is just you and him that are not realizing it" then he narrows his eyes at the expression on her face and says "but I see that changing too. Does he know?"

"Yes he knows" Hayley smiles and then add more seriously "I am sorry Jackson but I couldn't help it. I don't know how and when I fell for him"

Jackson laughs and says "don't worry about me. Tell me how is Hope?"

Hayley says to him without realizing that she has started to smile at the mention of her daughter's name "She is fine and is growing up so fast. I cannot believe that she is already 5 months old. You know that she can roll over now. We have to careful because now she can fall from the bed"

"O wow. I would love to spend some time with her if you don't mind" Jackson says

"Of course not. I will bring her next time. Today her father is babysitting. I hope they both survive by the end of it" Hayley laughs and says jokingly.

They walk out of the hut and look at Mandy who is running around with little kids around. Jackson sits on the porch of the hut and says "That is Jake, her brother. He is older than her and very naughty. They are my cousin's children. My cousin, Sam, died in a car accident last year so the kids are staying with us now"

Hayley looks at the girl who is now sitting on the ground and picking up some pebbles "what do you mean now?"

"You know what happened to her father and their family after they tried to… you know killed you parents" Jackson says without realizing that he has just dropped a bomb on Hayley. He continues without looking at Hayley "They were banished from the pack after that but when last year he had an accident he was badly injured so he called me and asked me to take care of his kids. Then he died so I had no option but to bring them here. The pack was angry in the beginning but then we all fell in love with these two".

Hayley tries to keep her calm but she is unable to.

Jackson looks at her and sees confusion and shock on her face which is immediately replaced by anger. She stares at him for a few seconds, get up and then leaves. Jackson runs after her and holds her by her elbow.

Hayley spins around and she angrily throws him against the trunk of the tree and pins him under her arm. She does not know how but her eyes had gone brown yellow, her fangs were out and the vein had popped out under her eyes.

Jackson looks at her changing form with a sinking heart and then realizes something "You didn't know. Klaus didn't tell you?"

Hayley feels as if someone had thrown cold water on her. Her grip loosen on his chest and she steps back and exhales a breath to calm herself down.

Hayley asks with sinking heart "He knows!" then before waiting for an answer "since when?"

"I told him when I went to visit Hope after she was attacked" Jackson rubs his neck "he said he will tell you. I should have known better"

Hayley has a fleeting image of her asking him why had Jackson come and he had told her that he came to visit Hope. She suddenly realizes that her eyes have gone blurry. She turns but she is held back by Jackson who is again holding her by her elbow

"Hayley! He must have a good reason for not telling you. May be he didn't tell you so that our friendship does not suffer or he didn't want to hurt you any further as you have been going through a lot" Jackson tries to reason with her

"I don't care Jackson he should have told me. Please let go of my arm" she pries her arm and leaves cleaning her tears that have started falling on her cheek now.

Klaus is painting in his room when he hears her. He walks into her nursery, she is up and wiggling her arms and legs and sucking her hand- her favourite thing these days. She beams when she sees him. He bends down and picks her up. He knows her routine by now so he knows that she would be fine for an hour at least so he takes her to his room and puts her on the bed. Then he looks at her for a second and remember what Hayley has told him about her being rolling on the bed and the danger of accidental fall from the bed. Thinking about that he picks up the pillows from his bed and puts them on her either side and as if on cue Hope turns on her tummy which makes Klaus laugh. He puts a rattle in front of her so that she can play with her and picks up a book to read. Then he lays next to her on the bed. Hope starts to play with her rattle. Klaus looks at her playing with her rattle and drooling on his bed. He cleans her chin and then continues reading her book.

Elijah is walking to his room to discuss their plan about handling the Guerra wolves. Seeing Klaus lying next to his daughter reading a book brings a smile to his face and he enters his room.

Klaus looks up when he sees his brother in his room. He sees as Elijah walks up to Hope and picks her put while putting the files in his hand on his bed. Hope turns her head to her uncle and grins and then puts her hand on his mouth. Elijah on impulse kisses her hand and then puts her against his shoulder.

"Niklaus Cami is going to start her second blood drive champagne tomorrow so may be in a week we will know all about the Guerra wolves. We need to plan something to handle them" Elijah says to her while looking at Hope's dark brown eyes.

"Just kill them all brother. Why are you making things complicated?" Klaus gets up from the bed and puts the book on the table.

"You bastard!" They both turn towards the door when they hear Hayley.

"Hayley!" Elijah is the first one to recover. "Language please. There is a baby here"

Hayley's ear register to what Elijah has said so she says to him a bit calmly "Elijah will you please take Hope out. I need to talk to your brother about something important" while her eyes are fixed on Klaus who is looking at her with narrowed eyes and then she sees realization dawn in them. She sees his lip move "No! He didn't"

Elijah has heard what Klaus has said so he turns towards him and asks him "what?"

"Nothing Elijah. This is between Hayley and me. Will you take Hope out?" Before Hayley can say anything Klaus is saying to Elijah.

Klaus folds his arm across his chest when Elijah leaves after giving them a look. Hayley walks to him and stands right in front of him and asks him "why didn't you tell me?"

"When should I have told you?" Klaus asks him trying to keep his voice calm

"Any time. We had a lot of time together since then" Hayley snaps at him

"When? When Hope was almost killed or when you were almost killed or when you so upset that you were being over protective and breaking down? Tell me when Hayley?" Klaus asks her

"You could have told me anytime" she now yells at him "I am a big girl I can take care of myself"

"Yes you are a big girl and you can take care of yourself but at what cost? Jackson's? I know how you feel about hi…" Klaus now snaps too but he is cut off by Hayley who has taken a step towards him and says in a loud voice "don't you dare bring him in. This has nothing to do with him. It is about you not trusting me enough to tell me something this important. You know how important this is for me"

Before Klaus can stop himself, he takes a step forward too and says angrily" I do trust you and I know that this information would have broken you so I chose not to tell you. I will always protect you from anything that can hurt you. Do you understand?"

Hayley suddenly feels that she is standing too close to him. Her mind registers to what he has just said and she takes a deep breath and then steps back.

Klaus sees her stepping back which brings him to reality. He tries to stop her by outstretching his hand but she is already backing off saying "I cannot be with you right now. Please" she turns and then leaves.

Klaus goes to her room but then sees that the door is closed. He knocks at it but Hayley does not open it. He thinks about breaking it down for a second but then changes his mind. He wants her to cool down before they talk because both of them angry at each other will not solve the issue. So he takes a deep breath and goes down to the sitting room where Elijah is sitting on the couch and Rebekah is changing Hope.

Elijah sees him coming in. Rebekah and he have heard everything between Hayley and Klaus with their supernatural hearing. "Sorry we couldn't help it" Rebekah says to him before he can utter a word.

"Why didn't you tell her?" Elijah asks him

Klaus looks from Rebekah to Elijah with annoyance and thinks 'nothing can be secret in this house' and snaps at Elijah "If you listen to everything then you should know why didn't I tell her"

He then goes to the bar to pour a drink for himself.

Rebekah picks up Hope after changing her and making a bottle for her and then walks to her brother and hands her over to him thinking that may be that will make his mood better.

Klaus puts down the glass that has not yet touched his lip as Rebekah hands her over Hope. Hope grins at her father making him smile too. He takes her to the couch and gives her his bottle and to his surprise Hope holds the bottle from the place where his hands are holding it. Klaus feels a tug in his heart and looks up at Elijah who is looking at them with curious expressions.

Klaus shakes his head and says to Elijah without removing his hand from the bottle. He nods at him and clears his head and then says "so what is Cami planning to do now?"

Hayley is pacing in her room thinking about what has happened between her, Klaus and Jackson. It is too much for her. Now she understands why Jackson and her parents wanted them to get married because some of Jackson's family didn't like her parents and to cause the truce between two families they came up with this idea but it didn't go as they had imagined did it? She looks at the wall clock and realizes that Hope must be hungry so she takes a deep breath and opens the door which she had not opened when Klaus was knocking some time ago. She goes down to the sitting room and freezes when she hears him says "Cami's" name.

Klaus looks up towards the door as he senses her and sees her standing there. He looks at her face and realizes that she has heard him. A smile appears on his face and he thinks 'it is good to see her jealous for once'.

Hayley sees Hope in his arms, her eyes drooping and her tiny hands on top of his holding the bottle and all her anger at him suddenly vanishes and she says "Oh, I came down to check on her"

"She is changed and fed" Rebekah chips in "and it seems that she is sleeping now" Rebekah adds by looking at her closing eyes.

Hayley steps in to take her from Klaus's arms who intentionally holds Hope tighter while looking into Hayley's eyes. He smiles at the wave of frustration that has just come into her eyes and then loosen his grip on Hope.

Hayley looks up into his eyes with annoyance when she feels the hold on Hope getting tighten but then she sees him looking at her with amusement and the hold loosing. She hissed at him in whisper "we are definitely going to finish our discussion"

"Any time love" Klaus says sarcastically.

Then he gets up and walks to the bar to pick up his unfinished drink. He gulps it down and leaves the room saying "I am off to bayou. I have some unfinished business to attend. Elijah you take care of this blood drive thing"

Hayley cannot help herself. She runs to him and says "Klaus, NO"

Rebekah looks at Elijah and smiles at him who shrugs his shoulders.

Klaus looks at Hayley for a while and then says sarcastically "Don't worry I am not going to kill your boyfriend"

And then before Hayley can say anything he leaves. Hayley turns to Elijah and Rebekah fuming and says "Your brother IS really a sadistic person"

"Whom you seem to have fallen for?" Rebekah chips in while sipping the drink

Hayley spins towards her and says "shut up Rebekah"

And then leaves the room leaving Rebekah laughing and Elijah looking at her with amusement.

Jackson tells Klaus about the uprising in his pack

Klaus reaches Bayou and is walking to Jackson's hut. As he reaches the hut he sees Jackson. Seeing Jackson makes Klaus see stars he reaches him with vamp speed and grabs him by the neck and says "Are you naturally idiot or you did it on purpose"

Kaleb quickly walks to him and tries to free Jackson from Klaus's grip but he is unable to so he asks "what is going on?"

"What is going on is Jackson here told Hayley about what his family did to her family!" Klaus says angrily

"You didn't tell her before. Jackson" Kaleb turns towards Jackson

Jackson cannot speak because Klaus is holding him by the neck. Suddenly Kaleb realizes that their pack members are eying them angrily and some of them advance towards them too so he says to Klaus in a low volume "Klaus you are making a scene. We already have a situation so don't make it worse"

Klaus glares at Kaleb and Jackson for a second and then he lets go of Jackson. Jackson tries to regain his composure and says while coughing "How could I know that you had not told her yet?"

Klaus looks at him angrily and advance towards him again but Kaleb stops him. "Listen we have a bigger issue right now. We should go somewhere and discuss it"

Klaus stands there for a moment and then follows Kaleb whereas Jackson follows him. On reaching his car which is a little far from the bayou main area Kaleb turns to Klaus and says "we are having problem Klaus"

"Yes I know someone cannot keep his…" Klaus glares at Jackson but he is cut short by Kaleb

"Klaus some people of our pack are having a problem with our relationship with Hope"

"What do you mean and how do they know about Hope?" Klaus asks alarmed

"Someone has told people in our pack about how special Hope is and that she is still alive and now they want Hope's alliance with us as she is after all a crescent wolf. They want Hope to grow up in bayou. If she grows up in the bayou by the time she grows up she will be attached to her pack more and for that they are willing to do anything" Kaleb says. He is trying to keep the panic contained because he can feel the situation getting out of control.

"What are you talking about? Hope will not move to bayou. She is just a baby right now" Klaus asks him in bewilderment.

"Yes she is a baby right now but she will grow up to be really powerful. I have already told you that remember" Kaleb tries to explain to Klaus calmly but Klaus has started to get angry now

"I will kill all of your pack for even thinking that" Klaus turns to Jackson and says "and if you stand with them I will kill you too not giving a single thought to how much you have helped us or how important you are to Hayley"

He then turns and without listening to anything Kaleb or Jackson have to say he sits in the car and drives away.

Klaus enters the compound and is going to the sitting room in furious mood when someone stops him

Hayley asks him angrily "what happened?"

Then she realizes something when he looks up. He is worried about something. She asks him again "What happened" but this time her angry is replaced by concern.

Klaus sees Hayley looking at him with concern so he says "Nothing love, I didn't kill him as promised"

Hayley can see that he is hiding something but she knows that there is no point asking him if he is not ready to tell them anything so she moves to one side and lets him go.

Klaus enters the sitting room but Elijah is not there so he turns around and leaves the compound without glancing at Hayley who is still standing in the court yard.

He goes to the bar and sees that Cami is serving the drinks.

Klaus finds out something about his past

Klaus is sitting at the bar drinking scotch when he senses Carry there. He turns around and says a bit annoyingly "Long time no see"

Carry advances towards him and sits down on an empty stool next to him and says "Klaus I have some important news for you"

"Don't tell me, you need a moon night ring…" Klaus starts to say while sipping his drink when Carry interrupts him

"No, it is about your daughter. Is it true that she is alive?"

Klaus suddenly gets alarmed and says "what and how do you know that she is alive?"

"I don't know how but the pack knows that she is alive and they think that your baby is pretty powerful and they want her to be part of their pack and for that they are willing to do anything" Carry says in a calm voice while scanning the room to see if anyone is listening to them or not.

"And you have come to tell me why?" Klaus asks him sarcastically trying to cool his angry which is bubbling so fast that he is afraid that he might kill carry.

"I have come to warn you. You have been nice to us from the start and seeing your connection to my family I want to protect your child but the rest of my pack is not very warm towards you. They know who you are. Some of us have seen the markings in the tunnels under the Lockwood mansion" Carry looks into his eyes and says.

Klaus looks at him in surprise and asks him "How do you know about those tunnels? I thought they were supposed to be a secret."

Carry hesitates for a minute and then says "Mason Lockwood and Robert Lockwood are part of our pack. They are my uncles and direct descendent of your father's blood line"

Klaus looks at him in shock and repeats "Mason Lockwood and Tyler Lockwood are pack of my pack!"

Then he starts to laugh at the coincidence "This is fantastic! I have spent almost 3 years in Mystic Falls trying to make Tyler my bitch and it turns out he is part of my own pack. Why did his father move to Mystic Falls and why would he maintain his contact with pack after he abandoned it in the first place?"

Carry takes a deep breath and says to Klaus "A long time ago people from our pack- Lockwood family settled in Mystic Falls and they have been there since then. Before Richard Lockwood our pack was still friendly with his father who was a werewolf but Richard Lockwood and his brother Mason didn't want to trigger the gene so they stayed out of trouble and they cut off with our pack. Now his son Tyler is a werewolf. After becoming a werewolf and then hybrid Tyler found the remnants of his father's pack. It was Tyler who told us about your baby so we came to look for ourselves".

Klaus is listening to this intently and then asks "Does Tyler know my connection to the pack?"

"No I don't think so "Carry says after a couple of seconds of silence "Elijah and your sister found us after you defeated Marcel and got hold of Tyler"

Carry looks at his face where one color is passing the other and continues "Any way the thing is I wanted to warn you that you daughter might be in danger"

"What is your position on this Carry?" Klaus asks him a bit aggressively

"I might not have a choice in the end after all that is my pack and you should know how pack mentality works" Carry says reluctantly

Klaus suddenly stands up and yells "If anyone anyone touches a hair on my daughter's head I am going to tear them from limb to limb. Go and tell your pack that". Then without listening to anything Carry has to say he leaves the bar.

Hope is kidnapped

Hayley enters her room and picks up Hope's discarded clothes from her bed and takes them to her nursery. She puts them in the drawer and then goes to check on Hope but she stops because Hope is not in her crib. She suddenly runs out and goes to Rebekah's room and bangs open the door of her room and asks "Do you have her?"

Rebekah turns around when she hears her and asks her "Who? Hope. No I don…t"

A panic has started to appear on Hayley's face.

Klaus is walking angrily towards the compound when he gets a call. Seeing the calling ID he says "Not now Kaleb"

"She is in danger" Kaleb says in panting voice

"Who?" Klaus asks but he has a sinking feeling in his heart because he suspects. Before he can hear him reply he runs towards the compound in his vamp speed.

Hayley looks at Rebekah. She can feel the panic rising in her. She takes out her cell from her jean's pocket and start to dial his number when she senses him. Klaus turns her towards him and asks her "Where is she?"

Hayley looks at him in blank. She seems to be in shock and answers desperately "I don't know. I went to check on her in her nursery but she was not there" then she comes out of her trance and holds him from the front of his shirt and says "someone took her!"

Klaus looks at her in disbelief and then he sees someone whoosh pass him. He realizes that it is Rebekah because they hear her calling Elijah and Kol about Hope's whereabouts.

Klaus can feel his heart sinking and this pit in his stomach but then he realizes that Hayley is looking at her demanding some hope so he takes a deep breath and says "I will get her back. I promise"

Hayley looks at him in shock and before she knows it she is screaming "You son of a bitch! Is that what you have to say to me! You will get her back" she shakes him in anger.

She suddenly realizes what she has said and says "Klaus!" her hands are still gripping his shirt. Klaus looks into her panic filled eyes and then holds her hands and says "Hayley I will get her back to us. Please for once trust me".

He gently detangles himself from her grasp. They both turn at a sound behind them.

Elijah runs to Rebekah's room. He can feel his heart pumping really hard. There have been very few things in these 1000 years that had rattled him and this is one of them. He stops at the door and hears Klaus giving Hayley hope. He walks in the room "we will get her back" and then he turns to Klaus and asks him questioningly "Francesca?"

Klaus yells in angry and then turns and leaves. Elijah follows him with Hayley and says "Niklaus, what are you going to do?"

Klaus shouts in anger "I am going to kill her whole family regardless of who is a werewolf or not and Elijah don't you dare stop me"

Elijah suddenly whooshes in front of him and stops him "Niklaus I want to…"

"No, she is not your daughter. I want her back and for that I will kill everyone who comes in my path. If you want to come that is fine otherwise I can do this alone" Klaus pushes him to one side

"I will come with you" Hayley says and walks to him

Elijah tries to ignore the hurt brought on by Klaus's words because he can relate to the panic Klaus is going through so he tries to reason with them "I am not saying that I will not come with you. I am saying we should think about our plan of action"

"What plan?" Klaus yells "the longer she stays with Francesca, the longer she is in danger. Get out of my way". He suddenly realizes that they are joined by Rebekah and Kol.

"Let us go Nik" Kol advances to the door.

Hayley and Klaus kill Francesca and rest of her pack with the help of other Mikaelsons

Klaus turns to Kol and Rebekah and says angrily to them "GO and get that list of Elijah's and find out the family members of Francesca's family and kill everyone on it. I don't care who is werewolf or who is not"

Then without waiting for their answer he walks towards the door followed closely by Hayley but then he suddenly stops and then takes out his cell. He dials a number. Hayley looks at him in surprise and more stunned when she hears Oliver's voice from the others side

"Klaus, what do you I…"

Klaus cuts him off and says "she has taken my daughter.

"Your Daughter!" Oliver asks him

"Yes and I don't have time to go into details. So tell me where she lives?" Klaus yells at him

Oliver gives him the address. They get back in his car. Klaus looks at Hayley sideways who is looking out the window.

Hayley feels his eyes on her so she turns towards him and catches him looking at her. He holds her hand and says "Hay…" but Hayley cuts him off and says squeezing his hand "It is not your fault. Hope was in my care when I lost her. I shou…"

"No it is not your fault. You are an excellent mother. Don't doubt yourself. We will get her back. I will burn New Orleans if I have to" Klaus cuts her off and angrily says

"Klaus I am sorry for what I said earlier" Hayley squeezes his hand.

Klaus manages a smile and says with eyes fixed on the road "it is okay love. No love lost between us"

He then releases her hand. Hayley looks at him for a moment, sighs and starts gazing out of window again.

Klaus stops the car and gets out with Hayley following him closely. He kicks down the front door of the great mansion and yells "Francesca!"

His phone rings. He checks that it is Davina and sees Francesca coming down and presses the ignore button. He yells at Francesca "Where is my daughter?"

Francesca looks at him with hatred in her eyes and stops right in front of him "I am impressed how you managed to keep her alive until now. Very elaborate plan Mr Mikaelsons I will give you that" she smirks at Klaus and Hayley

Klaus advances towards her but Francesca says "If you want your daughter to die than do attack me otherwise…"she intentionally does not finish her sentence and then says "Ooo I see an alliance" when her gaze fall on Hayley holding Klaus's arm.

Elijah enters Francesca's house and see Hayley gripping Klaus's arm. Elijah says from the door "Miss Correa, I would advise you to us the child back if you don't want your family to die" Then he walks inside casually and stops right in front of her and says "My brother and my sister are right now on the mission of killing the Correa's bloodline. I imagine that you will not want that"

Klaus suddenly snaps and says angrily "Why are we talking here wasting time?"

Elijah stops Klaus from advancing towards Francesca by putting a hand on his chest and says "Niklaus! I want to give a chance to Ms. Correa here to make a right decision" and then turns to Francesca "If you don't give the child to us right now I will not stop my brother next time"

Francesca smirks at them. Hayley pounces at her saying "You bitch"

As if on cue they hear a baby cry. Klaus and Hayley suddenly look towards the direction from where they hear the sound. Francesca takes advantage of that and she turns.

Elijah hears the sound and looks at her just in time to see her fang coming out and eyes turning golden brown. He pushes Hayley on one side as Francesca has jumped on her.

Klaus turns towards Elijah and Francesca who are eying each other and suddenly the door on the left open and two men walk in with their fangs out and their eyes turned yellow. Klaus looks at Elijah just for a second giving him a 'here we go again look' and pounces on them. They both attack him from front and the back. One of the guy tries to hold him from the back but Klaus elbow him in his stomach and attack the other one. Before the man had a chance Klaus has his hand in his chest and taken out his heart. He throw the heart on the floor and turns to the other guy who has jumped at him. Klaus falls on the ground as the man lands on him. He flips the man over and now the man is down and he is up. With vamp speed he takes his heart out. He gets up and brushes his bloody hands together as if he was having some nice game with someone. He turns and looks at Francesca and smirks. All of this happened in a manner of seconds and she is still locked in eye glaring moment with Elijah.

"So now tell me where my daughter is?" Klaus advances towards her. Then he turns to Hayley and nods gesturing her to go upstairs.

Hayley is walking up the stairs when a big man runs down aggressively towards her but Hayley pulls his heart out with her hybrid speed and agility before the man gets a chance to do anything. She keeps on walking without registering Elijah's shocked expression or Klaus's smirk or Francesca's scared look. She reaches the top of the stair case and after thinking for a second she turns left but a door opens from the other direction. She spins and sees a man advancing towards her aggressively with a big knife in his hand. She looks at the knife while walking to him and grabs his hand twist it and jabs the knife into his stomach. She walks towards the door from which the man had come out without glancing back at the doubled over man.

"Oh well this is good. The situation is under control here" Kol's voice comes from the door. Klaus turns towards the door and sees Kol and Rebekah covered in blood and he smirks. Elijah is still eying Francesca.

" Kol stops right in front of Francesca, smirks and says "So we have killed the people on that list except for one- a child. I thought you" he turns to Elijah and says "I thought you will appreciate the gesture" Then he turns back to Francesca and ignoring her hiss he continues saying to her "I think your blood line is gone and I think I will have that" he holds her hand and before Francesca can respond he takes off the ring from her hand.

Hayley walks in the room and sees a woman sitting on the bed and Hope lying in the middle of the bed. The woman stands up and back up.

"Don't hurt me. I am not a werewolf. I work for Ms Correa and she wanted me to keep an eye on the baby"

Hayley looks at her for a second and then goes to the bed to pick up Hope. Hope is sleeping through all the racket. Hayley smiles at her and gently picks her up. Hope stirs in her sleep but then calms down in the warmth of her mother's arms. Hayley turns and walk towards the door when she feels a sharp pain in her back and a scream escapes her mouth.

Klaus is smirking at Francesca when he hears her scream, he whooshes up and enters the room. He sees Hayley doubling over with Hope in her arms and the woman standing behind her. He lunges at the woman and pulls out her heart and turns and pulls out the knife from Hayley's back. She stumbles onto him and he says "You are okay. Love"

Hayley croaks and says "wolfsbane"

Klaus quickly takes Hope from her arms and takes her down quickly.

Elijah is standing next to Francesca when he looks up seeing Klaus coming down with Hope in his arm and almost carrying Hayley in his other. Klaus approaches and says "Elijah" and hands him Hope and then picks up Hayley who is having problem hanging onto his arm.

Elijah looks into Francesca's eyes and says in a cold voice "if you ever come after my family again, you will not be able to walk on your two legs. Your family is gone now so salvage what you have left and enjoy your life". He then turns and walks out with Kol and Rebekah leading the way by Klaus who is carrying Hayley.

Hayley opens her eyes and realizes that she is in her room. She jerks up with a shooting pain in her back but she ignores it and asks "Hope! where is Hope?" in general. Then she startles when she hears him

"She is here next to you"

Hayley turns towards him and sees that he is lying next to Hope who is peacefully sleeping with hands on either side of her face. Hayley exhales a sigh of relief and lays back.

"How is she?" she asks him

"She is okay. How are you?" Klaus asks her propping himself on his arms "That bitch almost cut through your back"

"I still have the pain but I am not bothered about me. I am happy that she is safe and okay" Hayley turns to one side with a pinched expression which does not go unnoticed by Klaus. She touches Hope's cheek with her finger which makes her stir.

"You are not healing quickly. I gave you my blood but apparently you are not healing as fast as I had expected. Have you been taking blood?" Klaus asks her with concern.

"No, I have not been and I will heal" Hayley says a bit annoyingly and then it registers her and she asks with concern "Did I drink from you again?"

"Yes love, I am glad that you can keep my blood down. I thought the bitterness in it will make you feel sick" Klaus says sarcastically.

"Very funny" She says and tries to get up but then says "Ouch". She looks up at the tearing sound and see that Klaus has bit into his wrist. She looks at him and says "No, I will not drink from you. I will heal till tomorrow so keep your blood to yourself"

"Hayley" Klaus! looks at her in shock

"No, don't do that. Every time one of us is injured you offer your blood…" she groans in pain and then continues "it is not life or death matter that we need your blood. Listen please" she groans in pain again but lays back in the bed "I just need some sleep after the day we had today. First with Jackson and then with Francesca. I want to go to sleep and get up with no worries at least for a day"

She closes her eyes whereas Klaus looks at his wrist which is healing now. He gets up and puts the cover on her and then start to leave when she holds his arm. He looks back at her, she is looking at him and says "Thank you for being there for me and Hope"

"Hayley I am sorry you are in this mess because of me" Klaus says.

Hayley scoots over on the bed and pats the bed to gesture him to sit. Klaus sits next to her. She is holding his hand now "Klaus none of this is your fault you know. None of this"

"Why don't you hate me Hayley?" Klaus asks her curiously while looking into her eyes

Hayley looks at him in shock. Whatever she was expecting it is not this and says "Klaus I can never hate you. I don't think I hated you when I saw you in Tyler's house. You intrigued me and I have never been intrigued by anyone like I did with you. When I found out I was pregnant with your child I was happy but then I saw your reaction and it was hurtful for me so I lashed out and I became friendly with only one person who showed interest in me. Elijah. But there was something in me telling me that it is wrong. I wanted your help, your attention which you were not giving. I started to realize that you care after the Tyler incidence and you know it made my heart feel lighter because my heart was never willing to accept the person you are portraying yourself to be"

Klaus feels touched by her word. He does not realize but he is rubbing her fingers gently. She is saying "Klaus I love you. Just don't keep things from me especially that are concerning me or Hope"

He looks into her eyes still holding her hand and says "I cannot promise you that love. I will protect you and Hope from everything bad"

Hayley sighs in frustration. She knows that it is fruitless to argue with him when he is being stubborn so she lets it go and asks him "will you stay?"

Klaus looks at her and then at Hope and nods. He lifts her hand and kisses it and then goes to the other side of the bed and lays next to Hope.

Hayley sighs and closes her eyes when she feels his hand holding hers. She grabs his hand and squeezes it gently.

Davina sees an image

Davina is in her room when she suddenly get up and starts to draw on her canvas. She puts angry strokes on the canvas. After about 15 minutes she steps back and gasp.


A/N

End of season 2 as per my vision. I know that time span wise it lasted is only 5 months but I really hate the idea of Hope growing up fast unnaturally.

I know that it has ended on a cliffhanger. I might write something more for season 2 but not right now. Season 3 may or may not come after some break. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did writing it. It is far from perfect and not very elaborate but I wanted something simple revolving around family and their other life – how to protect their family, a perfect balance. I just think realistically TO will never live in peace, they will have one problem or another in their lives hence the cliffhanger.
