Klaus + Hayley: Alternative Meeting TVD 4x03
"You're a new face." He whispered and made her turn around at once. She slowly put down the photo and turned towards him. He was standing there with his hands behind his back and he looked like he had been studying her for a while. "And I take it from your accent you're an Old One. Klaus?" she pointed out and he smiled, stepping forward. "My reputation precedes me. Hopefully not all bad." "A little bad. Mostly repulsive." She was not afraid of him. Why would she be? He was all talk.
Klaus frowned as he looked at her closer and decided to ignore her last statement. He was surprised by her reaction. He rarely got that from people, especially people he could easily kill and she was just an ordinary werewolf girl. He could split her in two in seconds. "So, you're a friend of Tyler's. That's strange. He's never mentioned you." He looked like he was listening to a conversation from downstairs and smiled when he told her. "And I think I know why." They didn't break eye contact.
He stepped even closer and he expected her to pull back but she didn't. She stayed there with her hands crossed over her chest and watched him as he bent forward and picked up the photo that she was looking at. It had Tyler and his mom, the mayor of Mystic Falls. "Quite interesting…that this photo attracted your attention for so long." Hayley scoffed. "You've been spying on me?" "More like observing. Here you are a lone werewolf in a mansion full of hybrids, which are under my command. What are you doing here, love and what's your connection to Tyler?"
They heard some noises from downstairs but paid no mind to them as Klaus stared at her deeply. He set the photo down and took another step towards her until he was face to face to her. "Do I have to find another method for you to spill whatever it is you are hiding?" he asked her menacingly. She didn't look affected. "What I do here is my business and mine alone. Tyler has nothing to do with it." She said and walked away from him. She plopped herself on the couch and eyed him with a smirk.
She was not afraid, not at all and that was beginning to anger Klaus. He has never had something like this before. No one had ever dared to disobey him this way. He saw her helping herself to a glass of scotch and suddenly found himself smirking back at her and he didn't know why. He decided to play along and see where that would get him. He couldn't deny how incredibly fetching she was and she was most probably used to men putting their moves on her. He was going to look for answers.
To her own surprise, he got himself a drink and sat down next to her on the couch, drinking it at the same time she was drinking hers. If she was going to take him by surprise, he was going to do the same to her and see her reaction. She was still drinking and he was observing her as he drank something of his own. Finally, she started squirming a little because of the moment of awkwardness and stood up from the couch, setting the drink down. She looked really pissed this time.
"Enough with the games. I know that you are famous for them but I have no tolerance for them!" she exclaimed, crossing her arms over her chest and he stood up, setting his drink down as well and facing her. "And I don't have a tolerance for people who don't give me what I want." He whispered dangerously close and pulled a strand of her hair behind her ear and she looked at him, surprised. "What do you want then?" she finally asked him, annoyed how she lost her control over him. "Who are you?" he asked suddenly and Hayley gulped. She didn't know what she should be telling him. "Hayley." She responded simply and he looked surprised that the only thing she could offer was her name.
"Lovely." He whispered after a while but then continued. "And of what use would your name be to me?" "I don't know of what any sort of use I can be to you. I am a friend of Tyler's as you also stated. There is nothing left to know about me." "And why don't I believe that?" "Believe what you want but you should know that some people still have friends in this world and Tyler is one of them." "How did the two of you meet?" he asked at once. "In the Appalachians. There, are you happy now?"
Klaus smiled. "Extremely. As I understand it, Tyler went to the Appalachians to break his sire bond. I suspect you of helping him. And I can tell from the look on your face that I am correct." He went closer to her and put his hand around her waist, pulling her towards him and he whispered seductively into her ear. "How do you suppose you can free hybrids from their sire bonds to me?" Hayley's breath hitched and she at last pulled away from him saying, "I have no idea what you are talking about." He actually took her word for it and backed away.
He was just trying to have some fun with her; teasing her and making her feel nervous. He had managed to do so and now, she was upset. She looked around and whispered, "I am going to go." She moved to leave the room but he grabbed her hand and pulled her back to him. She was annoyed and angry when she saw the smirk on his face. "I would suggest the back door, love. We wouldn't want Tyler's girlfriend to see you now would we?" "What are you talking about?" "It wouldn't look right. We don't want her to get the wrong impression now would we? That is…if it is wrong."
Hayley wanted to slap him at that moment but she was smart enough to refrain herself. How dare he believe that she and Tyler had something going on? "I am just saying, love that you as fetching as you are, alone with Tyler, one of the horniest hybrids I have ever seen perhaps…" "You disgust me!" she suddenly yelled out to him and left to get to the back door and he wanted her, still smirking.
"I hope to see you again soon, Hayley!" he called out to her and she looked at him as she opened the back door. "I wouldn't bet on it." She finally whispered and turned her back to him, smiling a little bit and she had no idea why. She was angry with this son of a bitch. Why was she smiling? Little did she know that he was smiling right back. He wanted to see her again. She was too intriguing. He hadn't been able to read her the way to he was used to reading women and he couldn't let this one just vanish.
