Then Klaus Elijah looked at each other. But then they let him go. Marcel stood there staring at Rebekah and me. He then was gone. We all just stood there. No one said a word or moved. Just like time has frozen.
When I got back to Rebekah's room I just plopped down on the bed. Rebekah came over to me. She sat at the edge of the bed.
"Are you sure are okay?" She asked me.
"I'm sure. He only got one good hit in. I won't let him get anymore. But I didn't fight back either." I told her.
"Why didn't you fight back?" She asked me.
"I was going to fight a mad man over something that was out of my hands. So, why fight? It won't do anything better." I told her.
"Okay." She said.
"Come on Rebekah. It has been on long day. After what just happened I just want to go to bed." I told her.
"Fine." She said coming into my arms.
The next morning of that day wasn't even better. Marcel did stay away from the compound the whole day. But he tried to play a different story to Klaus. But Klaus isn't falling for it.
My friends will be leaving in a couple days. They will be going back to their lives back at Mystic Falls. I will be staying here. So, I have been hanging out with them a lot more before they leave. Rebekah is okay with it. She said she understands. Any way she has been busy herself.
"So, when are you guys heading out?" Cami asked my friends.
Today we were hanging out there. I thought it would be a fun time before they leave. Rebekah and the Mikaelsons said they will join later after some business they have to take care of.
"In a few more days. But we will have to make another trip down here again in the future to see Matt." Caroline said.
"Hey, I will come visit down there. You guys know to call me if you need help with whatever hell is going on down there." I told them.
"Same for you Matt." Stefan told me.
We hanged out there for a bit longer until the Mikaelsons showed up. Hayley was happy to get away from the compound for a bit. I don't blame her.
"Looks who is free at last." Cami said giving Hayley a hug.
"You are telling me." Hayley responded.
"Don't worry Hayley once I'm settle into the compound you and I can go to the Bayou whenever you want." I told her.
"I like the sound of that. Trust me, my pack wants to question you about what you be throw." She told me.
"Deal." I told her.
We all hanged out there for a bit longer. Then we headed back to the compound. I was relaxing out in the main area with Rebekah and Hayley. Everyone was doing their own things. My friends wanted to see as much as New Orleans before they leave.
"Matt, you know having you here is going to be a good thing." Hayley said.
"I hope it would. I'm going to try make it a good thing." I told her.
"Well, I'm happy you are staying. This is going to be fun." Rebekah said.
I looked down at her. She was laying her head on my lap. I leaned down and gave her a kiss on the forehead. I then said,
"I'm happy I'm staying too. I feel like I can help here more." I told them.
"Trust me, we need as much help as we can get. I don't care what Klaus says." Hayley said.
"Don't worry Matt. You will be a great help here." Elijah said coming into the room. He went right to Hayley's side and I saw her smile bigger.
One thing I have figured out while being here is that there is something going on between them. But I'm going to pry on it. I will wait until she is ready to talk about that. I can't wait to see what will happen.
