Chapter 25: the battle of New Orleans
Things had been somewhat less eventful over the last two weeks as Peyton's due date approached with only two more to go as they continued to work on the spell for the moonlight rings for the wolves while Oliver was still trying to start a rebellion in the bayou to get the pack to rally against Jackson so that they could fight back like other supernatural groups in the quarter were keen to do too, it had also been two weeks since Peyton had a run in with Mikael on the other side during Kieran's funeral. It was a rare night if piece for Peyton and the two Mikaelson bothers were in the study in the compound as Elijah sat at the deal reading the moonlight ring spell from his mother's spell book and Klaus was outside on the balcony looking at the city as he told them stories from history while Peyton sat on the couch as comfortable as she could as she read her book. Peyton wore a pale pink and black patterned maternity jumpsuit and a cream cardigan while her hair was placed into two side buns, her makeup consisted of dark eye makeup that outline her eyes and light pink lip gloss
"...all but sealing the confederate's fate" Klaus said concluding his story that demonstrated different history events concerning New Orleans that usually ended in despair and destruction
" well thank you for the history lecture, that's exactly what I needed to stop myself from worrying" Peyton said slightly sarcastic and anxious as she moved around on the couch to get comfortable
" and not condescending at all, although my guess was that was not your intention... However it might have been to bore us mercilessly" Elijah said knowing that neither of them were really listening
" I simply offer a reminder, history shows us that any attempt to assert dominie over this city ends in bloody conflict" he said knowing that he wanted to prevent that from happening if he could
" this conversation will end in bloody conflict if the two magical mystical twins don't stop using my kidneys as soccer balls" she said showing her discomfort as she put down her book and moved
" are you feeling ok?" Elijah said as he spoke the same time as Klaus as he noticed the way she was moving as he closed the spell book and moved to be nearer to her in case she wasn't ok
" what the matter?" Klaus said speaking at the same time as Elijah as he noticed the pain on her face as she moved as he became concerned that something was wrong with her or their babies
" I'm fine, the babies are fine... But while I have your attention, what's going on with the moonlight rings? Things are still tense in the bayou" she said remembering the texts from Jackson and Hayley
" they are in progress, I just need my witch to perfect the spell and then we will be good to go little red" he said not wanting her to worry or stress about it or the details of his arrangements
" that's assuming that she's still willing to cooperate when she realises the full scope of your plan, Niklaus" Elijah said still not wanting to put all his trust in Genevieve and her magic after everything
" leave Genevieve to me" Klaus said knowing that he would be able to control her as long as she had an interest in him both romantically and statically as she wanted an alliance for the witches
" yeah I'd rather not, seeing how she is so determined to get into bed all the time" Peyton said as Klaus placed a cushion behind her back as she rubbed her stomach to soothe the babies inside
" perhaps we should seek out someone else to cast a spell of this magnitude, one that we all trust" Elijah said since he knew that both him and Peyton didn't trust her as far as they could throw her
" nope, no way is that happening. We don't have time" she said point blank refusing to even consider the idea of waiting any longer as she looked at Klaus who already knew her reasoning
" what do you mean? What's the worst that could happen if we wait?" Elijah said suddenly feeling as if he was being kept out of the loop as this seemed like something they had already discussed
" I have two weeks left till my due date and I won't be pregnant anymore and be back chained up every full moon. This has to happen now" she said thinking about the pain of shifting into a wolf
" and that can't happen which is why tomorrow is our window. Genevieve will have the spell ready to harness the power of the full moon" he said trying to comfort her as much as himself by this
" what about the stones to bind the magic to the rings?" She said knowing that ring that Cary had held a black stone that held kept the magic in the ring and allowed them to control their abilities
" well they're being handled as we speak" Klaus said sitting across from her as both her and Elijah exchanged a look as if trying to decipher what he meant by that comment of his as they worried
" meaning what exactly?" Elijah asked since it was clear that he wasn't doing the dirty work himself as he worried that someone else was involved or he had trusted someone else he hated
" Oliver and Jackson are collected them, they should be on their way back" he said checking the time on his phone as well as any incoming texts from them to inform them of their progress
" Oliver? Great, well at least he's out of the bayou causing trouble for a while" she said gently rubbing her temples as she felt a headache coming on as both brothers looked behind her
" ah, Genevieve... Why don't you wait in the dining room for me?" Klaus said as the redhead appeared at the door with a smile before walking away to head into the other room to wait for him
" I'm assuming she is here for business and not pleasure" Elijah said noticing the hopeful look that had been in Genevieve's eyes before seeing the hurt look in Peyton's at the implication of his words
" I want to ensure that the appropriate changes has been to the spell as well as to inform her of the amount of rings involved" he said as he walked over to where Peyton was sitting clearly thinking
" well let's hope that she's still willing to go through with it" she said wondering who else they would get to do the spell if not her as she realised that she wanted to keep Davina away from this
" she will be, trust me...why don't you go rest, little red? I promise I won't be long in joining you" he said wanting to deal with Genevieve quickly so that he could spend the rest of the night with her
The next morning Peyton woke up to the sound of Klaus's phone going off as he gently got out of bed to get dressed before pressing a kiss to her temple as a form of good he while he told to go back to sleep and that he would be in touch while she tried her hardest to get back to sleep but eventually gave up and got out of bed as she began her morning routine. Peyton realised that she couldn't be bothered with anything too fussy or complicated when it came to her clothes so she went for something comfortable as she wore a grey cami dress with pocket on top of a white v necked tshirt and a pair of black maternity leggings as well as a pair of grey flats and cream open knitted cardigan. She wore her down in long waves with two side braids that were pulled into a messy bun at the back, she wore dark eye makeup that made her eyes look even deeper and light natural looking pink lip stain. She went into the kitchen to grab something to eat before walking into the living to find Hayley and Elijah waiting for her
" hey lovebirds...so who wants to go first and tell me what's going on?" Peyton said as she sat on the couch looking at them as she sensed something was going on as she began to eat her food
" have you heard from Oliver or Jackson recently?" Hayley said carefully as she tried to ease herself into the conversation since her and Elijah had agreed to try their best to not upset Peyton
" not since yesterday morning when Jackson gave me an update on things in the bayou, why?" She said wondering how long they had been away and what caused an hold up if there was one
" they went on some errand for Klaus to do with the rings and no ones heard from them in hours" Hayley said as Peyton realised what she was getting at as she placed her plate on the couch
" and Klaus left early this morning after getting a call... Elijah call Klaus now, I left my phone in my room" she said knowing that she needed to call him now to find out what was going on with this
" Yes brother, what is it?" Klaus said answering his phone after seeing who was calling him as he walked along the edge of a roof in the French Quarter as the women waited impatiently
" It appears our wolves have gone astray, brother" Elijah said as he put the phone on loud speaker so that the two werewolves in the room could hear what was being said as well
" They should have been back hours ago" Hayley said interrupting them as she became impatient for them to get to a solution to their problem rather than stating the obvious of it all
" Jackson would have text one of us to say he was on his way back or something" Peyton said as Klaus closed his eyes as he realised that she was more worried than he wanted her to be
" I think it's fair to say that we need to find them" Elijah said as they both knew that neither women was going to let this go within time as these were people that they cared about in a way
" Well that might be a bit tricky" klaus said not wanting to give anymore details than that as he knew it would do very little to calm down his heavily pregnant girlfriend who was vulnerable right now
" tricky how exactly?" She said sensing that he knew more than he was letting as she suddenly wondered where he was since she knew that it had to be linked to the situation in some way
" You see we've located their car on a back road in the middle of nowhere. I suspect they've been shanghai'd" he said referring to the fact that he believed that they had been kidnapped
" And you didn't feel the need to share this information?" Elijah said showing the fact that he was annoyed by Klaus's actions as he knew only bad things happened when he was alone
"It was my intention to tell you about it only after I had found an appropriate solution " he said hopping they would understand that he was trying to prevent unnecessary stress and worry
" so have you found an appropriate solution to our problem?" Peyton said using his words against him as he noticed the slight edge to her tone as he realised that he had to sort this quickly
" I'm closing in on it as we speak. The only person who would be bold enough to snatch my wolf allies is the one who has the most to lose" he said knowing that they would get who it was
" Marcel" Elijah said sighing as he suddenly wished that Marcel would give up this pathetic plots against his brother and their family as well as that he had simply killed him after his sister
"No, he'll kill them!" Hayley said clearly and suddenly very scared as she looked to her scared who seemed to share her fear for their friends and alpha as they were more eager to find them
" Genevieve informs me that Marcel has procured a cloaking spell. The only witch who will aid Marcel is Davina" he said knowing that the little witch still held some loyalty and love for marcel
"I can go talk to her if you want, she'll talk to me" Peyton said realising that she hadn't talked to Davina in a long time as she wondered how she was copying being back with the witches now
" no I need you to stay in the compound, I just need to get one last bit of leverage before I pay her a visit and there it is" he said spotting Josh putting his luggage into the truck of his car
" Klaus, promise you won't hurt her for me please" she said knowing that she didn't want anything to happen to Davina as she had already had a harder life than most people her age
" I promise I won't hurt her, little red" he said softly before ending the call as she sighed loudly as they all exchanged a look of concern as she went back to nervously eating her breakfast
Soon after Klaus had went to pay Davina a visit and gained the location of where Marcel was mostly holding the wolves prisoner he decided to text Elijah to inform him so that he would come with him as back up as well as ensuring that he didn't Peyton alone in the compound as Elijah reassured him that both Hayley and Genevieve would more than happy to stay with her as he aware of his brother's fear that she was about to go into labour sometime soon. Peyton began to pace around the study of the compound as she began to think about worry about what might be going on while Genevieve watched from where she stood near the couch where Hayley was sitting watching her sister's fear and panic reflex her own
" one of them should have called by now, what if something really bad happened? What if Marcel got to them as well?" Peyton said voicing her concern out loud to the others in the room
" Worrying about it isn't going to help, you should sit down and try to keep calm" gene iced said recognising that none of this was good for her or the babies that she was currently carrying
" What are you now? Witch slash midwife or some kind of annoyingly chipper life coach?" She said annoyed by her as much as she was at herself since she had failed to come up with a witty comeback
" I know the treatment of pregnant women has advanced some what since I was a nurse but even I know high blood pressure is bad for you and your babies" she said causing her to sigh
" and you're more prone to it since you're carrying twins... What? I know things too" Hayley said noticing the looks they were giving her as she remembered that she had read up on it to help
" true and not to mention the fact that you're so close to term" she said thinking about how the high blood pressure could cause complications such as her going into early labour right now
" she isn't wrong Pey despite her very obvious flaws, come and have some tea or a brownie or something?" Hayley said trying to convince her sister to do what Genevieve said as Peyton sat
" I just hate this, I feel completely useless. I'd rather be out there helping" she said as she took the cup of herbal tea from Hayley as she tried to make herself comfortable on the couch
" I know me too, especially considering that we can sense that the full moon is coming" she said knowing that werewolves were more on edge when the moon was about to change them
" Don't you get it? You're the point of all this...Klaus and Elijah running all over town? It's all for you, I'm a bit envious actually" Genevieve said wondering how neither of them seen how in love the originals were with them
" Great! Lucky me, I get to be the reason why some people I love are endangering their lives" she said more to herself then to anyone as she felt her fear rise at the thought of losing Klaus
" stop stressing, everything will ok" Hayley said trying and failing to convince Peyton as well as herself that everything would somehow work out despite how bad it all seemed to be right now
"Is there anything I can get either of you?" Genevieve said trying to show her nicer side as well as to gain Peyton's trust as she tried to sit back as she grabbed a brownie and took a bite
" How about a moonlight ring or two?" Peyton said trying to ease some of the tension as she tried to think ahead at what she would do at night when it was all done like cuddling with Klaus
" The spell can't be performed until the full moon reaches its apex and of course I need the stones which will be here soon enough. Have a little faith!" She said before leaving the room to check on her preparations
" so what's going on with you and Elijah?...What? I'm trying to distract myself and stay calm" she said innocently as Hayley gave her a look as if to ask if she was for real with this topic
" I don't know, first it was as a thank you for him helping with the fallout from the bombing then it turned into something more I guess" she said with a smile as she thought about their first kiss
" what is it with our family and theirs? First me and Klaus, now you and Elijah... Seriously though, Elijah is a good guy" Peyton said knowing that he would be for Hayley as a boyfriend
" don't get too excited, we haven't talked about it yet or anything... What about you and Klaus? Hey it works both ways" she said noticing the way Peyton still had a nervous hand on her phone
" we're good especially with me moving back in, he actually decorated the twins's nursery while I was away" she said smiling as she thought of her children's bedroom where she liked to go now
" aw that's cute, maybe you can show it to me later" she said trying to be happy for her sister despite her feelings towards Klaus, although she knew he was different when he was with her
" you know what? This whole distraction this isn't working, I'm calling them" she said grabbing her phone as she called Klaus who didn't pick up before she then called Elijah who did pick up
" Impeccable timing" Elijah said picking up the phone as he thought about her timing as she picked now to call while they were surrounded by explosions and in sever danger as they were
" why? What's going on?" Peyton said wondering what was so wrong with her timing as her imagination began to run with her again as she thought about different scenarios that could be
" are Jackson and Oliver okay?" Hayley said since it was clear that Elijah was okay as Peyton began to wonder about Klaus, although she knew that he was survivor in every way possible
" Oliver was set free and Jackson is fine. He's...a little tied up right now. Can we call you back?" He said trying not to give anything away as Peyton heard Klaus laugh at his words
" Oh, that doesn't bode well" Klaus said as he opened one of the crates filled with explosions as the blinking green light on the bomb turned red as he found a piece of paper inside of it
" Are you trying to kill us!?" Jackson yelled as he noticed the change in the bombing device as Peyton and Hayley were suddenly alert as they began to panic about what was going on there
" why is Klaus touching things? Why are you letting him touch things Elijah?!" Hayley said panicking that he was going to get them into some serious trouble because he was being him
" Elijah, what the hell is going on? Seriously, talk to me now!" Shes said stressing out as much as Hayley was as Klaus looked at Elijah with a concerned look before looking at the note
"'This is for Thierry'" Klaus said as him, Elijah and Peyton all realised what was happening and that Marcel was setting them up as they began to act quickly as the bombs began to explode
" Elijah? Elijah!... Hayley, what just...what just happened?" Peyton said as she began to give in to her emotion as Hayley looked completely terrified as Peyton become upset at hearing it all
Hayley had been trying to keep both herself and Peyton calm as they waited for some news on what had happened with the men in their lives and the explosions that obviously went off in the warehouse as Peyton resumed her pacing of the study again until finally Elijah and Jackson walked into the room first as they noticed that they were clearly disheveled and covered in ash from the explosion
" I got it...hey you two, I promise it looks a lot worse than it is" Jackson said as he turned to Elijah who was helping him walk as he decided to do it on his own as to help convince them
" Thank god,I'm just glad that you're alive!" Peyton said as she moved as quickly as she could as she gave him a heartfelt hug as before moving aside so that Hayley could hug him too
" yeah me too,I've gotten too used to you bugging me all the time...thank you"Hayley said first to Jackson then mouthed the 'thank you' to Elijah over Jackson's shoulder as they hugged
" wait, where is Klaus? He's okay right?...Elijah?" Peyton said as she realised that one man was missing from the trio as she began to frantically looked around in the room in a panic
" don't worry little red, I'm right here...shhh it's ok, I'm okay Peyton" Klaus said as he entered the room as she hugged him fiercely as she cried in relief as he tired to reassure her somewhat
" so what about the stones?" Hayley said as she sat on the table in front of Jackson as she began to have a better look at his injuries, although she knew that Peyton would know more
" Scattered across the bed of the Mississippi, I'd imagine" Elijah said as he suspected that Marcel wouldn't even gotten rid of the stones as soon as possible to really ruin their plans
"Marcel's not a fool. He knows an empowered werewolf army would mean the end of vampires in New Orleans" Klaus said pouring everyone but Peyton a glass of bourbon to drink
" which is why he did of this right? To send some kind message to you, to us?" Peyton said sitting in one of the chairs as klaus joined her by sitting on the arm of the chair to be near her
" The explosion is his way of saying he means to prevent that, for all the good it'll do him" Klaus said agreeing with her since Marcel's intentions were clear as was his message to them
" Well, it did him pretty damn well, didn't it?" Hayley said as she became worried as did Peyton and Elijah who realised that klaus clearly had a back up plan to this as Elijah frowned
"This is my fault...I'll find a way to fix it" he said feeling bad that Peyton had been doing everything she could to save them since she came back while he had just ruined their chance
" hey listen to me, no one's blaming you for this and it's bad enough that you got hurt because of it" she said as Klaus noticed the small amount of affection that she was showing towards him
" I am! I'm blaming you! Those stones will be hard to replace... Fortunately, I always have a backup plan" he said as he looked over to his brother to give him an evil smile at his secret
" and what would this back up plan be, brother?" Elijah said sensing that he wasn't going to like whatever he had planned as an alternative of their original plan to create the rings for them
" why don't we go downstairs and find out?" He said after checking his phone due to getting a text from his new source with extra black stones which he needed to make the moonlight rings
The five of them all moved from their places in the room as they headed downstairs to see Francesca Correa walking into the compound followed five men who all seemed dressed for business for some kind as one of the carried a silver briefcase as they all began to wonder who the mean we're and why she was there as Peyton exchanged a look with Hayley as they both thought back on the conversation they had with Francesca about the bayou bombing
" You can't seriously mean her! She's a gangster!" Hayley said objecting to the fact that they were asking hell from the last person she ever wanted help from after threatening her sister
" not to mention the fact that she threatened to come after me and pretty sure she's responsible for the bombing on my pack" Peyton said as Klaus gave her look as if asking why
" well I see her more as a means of procuring rare items at short notice. Greetings, Ms. Correa! I see you've brought company" he said trying to reassure her that he was simply using her
" These are my brothers. I always include them in delicate business matters...Fellas, meet Mr. Mikaelson" Francesca said to her brothers as she watched Peyton and the others suspiciously
" Please call me Klaus. All my friends do" he said trying to seem friendly and welcoming towards them despite wanting to investigate further into what Peyton had accused her of
" what friends?" Jackson said quietly from the background as Peyton turned to see Elijah and Hayley smiling into response to his comment while the rest of them pretended it didn't happen
" I don't know if I'd call us friends but if you and Marcel are planning on having a little throw-down, I'd prefer my family to be on the same side as the inevitable victor" she told them simply as she opened the briefcase and pulled out a small clack drawstring bag
" Then you have what I asked for?" Klaus said knowing that time was of the essence as he needed the stones so that they begin the spell as soon as the moon hit its apex that night
" Not enough for an army at such short notice but it's a start" she said as she handed him the bag filled with tiny black stones as Elijah and Peyton both noticed her choice of words
" you told her our plan? There goes it being a secret" Peyton said wishing that he had consulted one of them before going behind their back to deal with the local human gangster
" Strange I wasn't aware that she was familiar with our plan" Elijah said echoing Peyton's surprise at the fact that he had told her everything while every other faction was in the dark
" My price for doing business is full disclosure and Klaus complied" she said trying to explain to both of them about why it was she knew as well as that it wasn't exactly Klaus's idea
" why would you want to know what's going on?" She asked thinking that there had to be more to this than Francesca being nosey or simply being curious about Klaus's other dealings
" she's right, what does the Human Faction stand to benefit from all of this?" He said once again thinking the same as Peyton as they knew she was a better source to ask than Klaus
" I only want us to solidify our allegiance to the ruling class, plus it's good for business" she said as if to soothe their worries about her intentions towards them but neither one brought it
" If only everyone shared your capacity for reason" he said a little distracted as he opened the bag onto his hand so that the small black stones spilled onto his palm as he examined them
" Sadly, they don't. Marcel is being especially vindictive, I'm worried he might come after me or my family, just for meeting with you" she said trying to show some fear and concern at this
" what a shame that would be?" Peyton said slightly sarcastic as she noticed the disapproving look that Klaus was giving her to let her know that she wasn't helping matters right now
" I'm assuming that you already have a solution to that problem?" Elijah said thinking there has to be a reason why she was voicing her concerns, it was clear that Peyton still didn't trust her
" I was thinking that it might be in our best interests if we combine our efforts" she said gesturing to her brothers as well as referring to the amount of security guards on her payroll
" So be it! The more bodies we have to defend the compound, the better. Let's get started, shall we?" Klaus said as knowing that the moon was going to be up soon and it would be time
" you go, I need to finish treating Jackson wounds" Peyton said knowing that she needed time to calm down and process this as her and Jackson headed back into the previous room
Once they were back in the study where she grabbed the first aid that was rarely used from its hiding spot as she gestured for Jackson to sit on the couch while she sat on the coffee table in front of him as she began to asses his wound, she tried not to think about Klaus and his two ill advised business alliances in the room or how Hayley was probably saying goodbye to Elijah before she had to headed back to the bayou to be turned by the full moon
" There... All done, it should all be healed by the morning" she said as she finished wrapping his arm with on of the bandages before beginning to clean away the mess she had just made
" Thank you, I appreciate it" he said as he grabbed the shirt that Elijah had given him to change into as he walked to where she was sta fin by the window as he buttoned the shirt up
" Don't thank me, it was Elijah and klaus who came to the rescue... Although klaus could be blamed for the bombs going off" she said with a smile and humour in her voice at the thought
" you think? You know he really seems to care about you... Klaus, I mean" he said knowing that the original hybrid would do just about everything and anything for her if she asked him to
" I know which makes all this very...complicated" She said not just talking about her relationship with Klaus but hers with him since she knew that he was so in love with her
" I think that's the understatement of the year...You should know that Elijah said the bombs in the warehouse were the same as the ones in the bayou" he said knowing that she would want to know
" meaning that Marcel got them from the person who bombed us and that Francesca Correa is now higher on my list of suspects" she said thinking about Marcel's little confession to her
" I'm sorry but I gotta go get back to the Bayou before the moon rises" he said looking out to the city from the window as he noticed that he didn't have much time to get back till the moon
" Jackson, this will be the last time then after tonight you'll never have to turn again meaning no more pain and no more hiding in the bayou. I promise" she said feeling bad that she wasn't shifting with them
" You know Klaus isn't doing this out of the kindness of his heart. He's doing it for you, because he loves you" he said knowing that that very sentence seemed to break his heart
" he's not just doing it for that reason, he also wants to hit the vampires and Marcel hard" she said knowing that there was so many reasons as to why Niklaus Mikaelson did anything
" Peyton, you're the one who's going to change everything for us... Just like I knew you would" he said kissing her on the cheek as he thought about the curse and now this before leaving
" well wasn't that a sweet and tender moment?" Klaus said startling Peyton as she jumped and turned to see him entering from the other door as she realised that he had seen everything
" it was nothing, we're friends and that's all" she said before looking away since she knew that wasn't the whole truth on Jackson's part since he was in love with her due to their shared past
" does he know that?" He said thinking about how that kiss he had placed on her cheek was anything but platonic as he watched as she took off her cream cardigan to take time to think
" he know that I'm in love with you" she said trying to skirt around the truth as she ruled her pacing as she internally debated on whether to tell him about their childhood engagement
" that isn't the same thing as him not having any feelings for you or not trying to make a move on you" He said getting a little annoyed by how she was trying to avoid telling him the truth
" it's complicated... Which seems like the theme of my life since I came here" she said more to herself than him as she continued her pacing thinking that the same could be said about them
" complicated how? Peyton, would you just stop and talk to me?" He said getting annoyed that she was being so cryptic about this, he could also tell that she was overthinking again
" ok so there's something that I need to tell you and I don't know how so...My family wanted me...I was supposed to be betrothed to Jackson" she said ripping the band aid off by saying it
" woah...what? When were you going to tell me? Before or after your wedding?" Klaus said still clearly in shock as he thought about losing her and his children to another man
" would you stop? I wanted to tell you sooner but something always got in the way. Our parents arranged our marriage to unite our bloodlines against the vampires" she said trying to explain it all to him
" clearly it didn't work seeing how things ended up and you grew up with another name! So when do you and Jackson run off into the sun?" He said emotionless to hide his pain from her
" would you stop that? Stop acting like anything ever hurts you!" She said getting frustrated but his lack of reaction since she knew that he was bottling it all up inside of himself
" and how would you have me act? What do you want me to do?" He said hating that she was so worked up but knew that this situation was hard on them both as he processed her words
" I'm betrothed according to some outdated arrangement by people that I never knew. Tell me that you think betrothals are stupid! Tell me that I have a choice-" she said ranting as he stopped her talking by kissing her passionately as he poured all of his feelings for her into it
" you will always have a choice and you know that I love you so the rest is up to you" he said knowing that he couldn't blame her for picking her pack over him but knew that it would hurt
" it's not a choice if both my head and heart are saying to pick you" she said kissing him again as she tried to get as close to him as she could with her large swollen abdomen between them
" come on, we should go and check on our witch... It won't be long now" he said taking her hand as he pressed one last kiss to her forehead as they headed to the dining room next door
As they entered the dining room, they saw that Genevieve had laid out the ingredients that she needed for the spell as well as the spell itself so that she would be well prepared for when the spell has to be preformed, she only mildly looked up to see Peyton and Klaus entering the room to check on her
" I trust that you're ready?" He said as he looked at the items that were spread out on the table as he checked that everything was there that she needed and wasn't missing anything
" The last ingredient is personal. As the spell is designed to control transformation, I need the blood of a werewolf who doesn't turn on a full moon" she said giving Peyton a pointed look
" you mean me? I don't turn on a full moon because I'm pregnant, go ahead" she said holding out her hand as she got her hidden meaning as Klaus placed his hand over here to stop them
" Out of the question. I'd just as soon limit the woman I love to the side-effects of your witchery. I am half-wolf, I control my form...use my blood" he said offering his hand to her instead
" why is blood always involved anyway? It's just creepy" Peyton said trying to break the tension in the room with some humour as she sneaked a peek at the moonlight ring spell
" If you fail to hold up your end of the deal then the consequences for you will be apocalyptic" he said grabbing a hold of Genevieve's arm roughly as she went to cut his hand for his blood
" You say the most romantic things...Materi lunare tua virtuse. Materi lunare tua virtuse" she said as cut his blood and dripped it over the stones before she began to chant the spell
" ah I see I am just in time, Ms Correa is just checking things with her brothers" Elijah aid as he entered the room to see Peyton and Klaus watching as Genevieve began to cast the spell
" Tua virtuse. Materi lunare tua virtuse. Materi lunare tua virtuse" she said as she continued to chant in the background as she held out her hands as Klaus clasped his hand around Peyton's
" My people say Marcel is on the move and he's bringing friends, a lot of them" Francesca said as she rushed into the room looking very panicked and worried about this development
" Elijah, I need you to stay with Peyton and keep her safe" Klaus said knowing that he didn't trust anyone else with the love of his life but his brother and that he had to be the one to fight
" I will, she will be safe with me brother... Come along" Elijah said as he grabbed a hold of Peyton's arm to take her elsewhere but she began to resist against him so that she could stay
" No, I'm not leaving you and apart from anything else, someone needs to watch her" she said as klaus turned to look at her wishing that she wasn't so stubborn especially now of all times
" little red, right now is not the time to argue... I don't want anything to happen to you or them so please go with Elijah" Klaus said hoping that she was listen to him as he was torn about all of this
" he should with you to help, Klaus. My brothers and their security detail won't be much against a vampire army. Don't worry, I'll stay with Hayley" Francesca said trying to them out
" just come here for a minute...you know I need to do this right?" He said pulling her into the hall way so that they could have a moment in private since he sensed that they both needed it
" I know but it doesn't mean like it... Seriously Klaus, I have a back feeling about all of this" she said as she closed small distance between them as she sought comfort in his touch
" baby, I promise that nothing is going to happen any of us if I can help it...Be on your guard with them and be safe, please" he said knowing that he would rather die than her getting hurt
" I will as long as you come back to, otherwise I'm going to really mad at you..." She said as he laughed a little at the thought of her giving him the silence treatment for getting himself hurt
" I'll keep that in mind, I love you" he said kissing her in the hopes that it would settle both of their nerves before they had to face whatever was coming their way next thanks to Marcel
" I love you to... Now go and kick some major ass... Oh and Klaus don't hold back" she said giving him one last kiss as Elijah came out of the room and into the hallway so they could start
Peyton could hear the fighting going on in the courtyard as she worried about Elijah and Klaus as she wished that Genevieve would hurry up with the moonlight rings as much as Marcel would finish this stupid attempt against Klaus, soon of the uncomfortable silence in the room between the three women was broken when one of Francesca's security guards came into the room as he whispered something to her ear making Peyton suspicious and curious about it
" Ms. Correa, we need to go. Your brothers have already headed out the back" the security guard said to her as Peyton wondered why they were leaving when the fight was still going on
" The stones are finished. I've done my part so now it's up to you" Genevieve said after some more chanting as she inspected the stones impressed with her own magical abilities
" finally, I'll get them to the Bayou" Peyton said grabbing her cardigan as she went to make a move to take the stones from her but Francesca jumped in before her to take them before her
" Actually, she was talking to me" Francesca said surprised her as Peyton began to wonder what was going on as she felt pieces of the puzzle begin to click into place in her head
" What the hell is this? I so knew we couldn't trust you, either of you" she said getting annoyed by the fact that she was right about them as she wondered how deep their betrayal would run
" Call it a side deal but the point is, I'm taking the stones" she said as Peyton noticed the guilty look on Genevieve's face as Francesca began to walk away as she went to stop her
" Are you kidding me? You seriously think the humans can go up against Klaus or the wolves?" She said knowing that she was the one to plant the bombs in the bayou but not why
"No I don't burn the again I'm not human...I'm like you, Peyton and now I'm gonna take back my town!" She said showing her now triggered werewolf state after killing her bodyguard
" you are nothing like me... And there is no way I'm letting you do this" she said as she went to attack her before feeling an immense pain in her head causing her to fall to the ground
Peyton slowly began to recover as she realised that she was once again in the back of someone's car but this time knew that she couldn't fight back due to being so heavily pregnant and instead decided to work through everything that she had just learned in her head like the fact that Francesca Correa had been the one to bomb the bayou werewolves and wasn't in fact a human but was a very recently triggered werewolf as she wondered from what bloodline. She also knew that for some reason Genevieve and Francesca had made their own deal with each other so that Francesca could get the moonlight rings for her own pack and Genevieve could get her for some reason, just as the car began to slow down Peyton began to feel an intense pain in her abdomen as fear began to sit in
"Get her down on the floor!" Genevieve said ordering two witches that were currently dragging Peyton down the alter in St Anne's church while Peyton screamed for help and in pain
" We should take her to the City of the Dead" Monique said questioning Genevieve as they placed Peyton on the floor and pinned her down as they needed beside her to check on her
" We won't make it, the babies are coming now" Genevieve said recognising the early symptoms of labour as Peyton felt her fear rise as she wished that this wasn't happening now
" No! It's too soon! Ahhhhhh!" Peyton said feeling another contraction hit her as she tried to fight against the people holding her down but was beginning to feel weaker and weaker
" Apparently not, that there was a contraction" she said as Peyton wanted to comeback with a witty and sarcastic comment but knew she was in too much pain to even try to come with one
" The plan was to induce her when the sacrifice was ready!" Monique said unhappy with the fact that Genevieve had derailed from the plan yet again as she wondered if she could do it
" I had to subdue her and the trauma caused a placental abruption. So the babies are coming and we'll just have to adapt" she said to Peyton as much as she was saying it to Monique
" AHHH! LET ME GO!" She said screamed while trying to back as much as she could as she wished that none of this was happening or at least that Klaus was here to rescue her from this
"You need to be calm, Peyton" she said knowing that she was still at risk of further complications of labour, Genevieve knew that she didn't make this worse than it was already
" Why are you doing this to me?" She asked completely terrified by the fact she was in labour and was being held captive by some crazed witches who seemed to want something with her
" To be reborn, you must sacrifice" Monique said as if that explained everything as she placed a hand on Peyton's shoulder before Peyton shrugged it off wanting her to get closer so she could hit her
" What the hell does that mean, you psychotic little BITCH?" Peyton said not being able to stand Monique polite and cryptic talk about how the ascenders knew what is best for them
" The ancestors demand an offering in exchange for power, you and your childrem will be a fine offering" Monique said not being discouraged by Peyton's attitude and counted it as pain
" No! NO! You can't not take my babies, I will kill ALL OF YOU!" She said feeling another contraction hit her as she used that pain to fuel her anger towards the witches hurting her
"No, you won't! And neither will Klaus or Elijah! When your babies are born, you will offer them up to those who came before us" she said as Peyton shook her head and still struggled
" I'm sorry Peyton but this is the way it had to be" Genevieve said wishing that thing had been different and that this wasn't the price for the ascenders to allow her to continue to live
" No! NO! NO! AAH! AAH! KLAUS!" Peyton said as she began to scream hoping anyone would hear her screaming come to her rescue long enough for her to escape and get some real help
