Klaus was sad and on edge. Every single word made him snap and every single question made him rant for what seemed like hours. He refused to sleep at night, which wasn't a necessity for him, but still had a clear impact on him.

I asked him why he refused to sleep and if he was fearing his dreams…naturally he ranted for an hour, as I mentioned before.

So on the day of the ball thrown in my honour I didn't force Klaus to dress up or attend on time, I simply asked him to do this for me. I really wished he would, but well, you never know.

It had already been an hour since the party had begun and I was all dressed up, surround by everyone who was anyone, and alone. I smiled and greeted everyone, trying to act happy and powerful while I was crumbling inside. As I gulped down yet another glass of champagne Stefan Salvatore came to my side.

"You do enjoy your alcohol don't you?"

I smiled as I fully swallowed the champagne "That is not true, you simply always catch me drinking"

"Yes, I caught you drinking quite some many glasses of red at the dinner" he said coyly

I punched his shoulder jokingly and we shared a laugh

"You laugh just like her" he said as he stared at me

"Like who?" I asked

"Elizabeth"

I stared at the way he stared at me, analysing my expression. He bit his lip as he pulled himself out of his thought.

"It's funny how you never see things clearly when you should"

"What didn't you see clearly?" I asked as I tilted my head

He smiled and chose to change the subject instead

"Where is your fiancé? Isn't this party somewhat in your engagement's honour?"

"He'll be here, he's a bit preoccupied with business"

"Given that all the supernatural members of New Orleans are here at the moment, showing off the fake peace between you, I highly doubt that…unless he's busy with humans"

We both knew he meant Camille, but I had no idea how he had found out.

"Believe me, he isn't" I replied as I gave him an angry smile

The music changed into a slow one and I found his hand before me

"Care to share a dance with your ex-fiancé?"

"I don't think it's appropriate" I replied

"It's only ironic…besides we weren't really engaged, you aren't Elizabeth"

I looked at him for a second, thinking it through before holding his hand and allowing him to pull me close

We moved from side to side to the music. We didn't speak and I looked at the side instead of into his eye. This wasn't a romantic dance, after all.

Suddenly, he pushed me away from his chest and turned me around in my place, before pulling me back to his chest, making me stand before him, his arm wrapped around me and my face looking at him. We were very close and I could feel him search for words to say when suddenly the noise of broken glass broke us apart.

"So it's not alright for me to seek therapy in a friend but its okay for you to be wrapped around another man's arms?" Klaus yelled. He was wreaking of scotch

I hurried away from Stefan and towards Klaus apologetically

"We were simply dancing. You're not alright Klaus you should leave"

"So you can continue your affair?" he asked as he grabbed my face "You don't want to know what the price of betraying me is love" he said in a whisper

"Klaus you are hurting me let me go" I said under my breath

My wolves started circling around us and so did Marcel and his vampires. They were showing Klaus that they would protect me. I raised my hand, making them go back and confirming everything was fine

"Klaus, baby, you're drunk. You know I love no one but you" I whispered, which made his grip softer

"Then why were you dancing with your ex-lover?"

"We were never lovers, we were never anything. Hayley Marshall is your and yours only" I said as he pulled back his hand "Let's go home together"

He looked around at everyone before nodding and taking my hand, allowing me to lead the way out of the party.

We got into his car and I cried silently as he drove us back home. When we reached the compound I got out of the car before he stopped it.

I hurried inside, my dress tangling between my feet. The compelled babysitter came to greet us with Hope in her arms but seeing her made me feel even sadder. I hurried up to our bedroom and heard Klaus come in right after me.

"What is it? You seemed to be less angry at the party" he said as he started drinking another bottle

"Stop drinking you're bloody drunk already" I snapped as I grabbed the bottle from him

"I am drowning my thoughts away"

"Not like this" I snapped as I threw the bottle against the wall

"What is this?"

"You embarrassed me before everyone. That party was in our honour"

"You were face to face with another man. Clearly I got envious!" he yelled

"You could have been there with me from the start, held my hand and walked me in, greeted everyone like the true king you are and be the one who I shared a dance with"

"I'm sorry, I was too busy getting paranoid over my mother"

"I want to help you but you're not letting me!"

"You kind of missed that opportunity when you didn't allow me to speak to Camille anymore"

"It's not the same!" I yelled

"What do you want me to do? I'm losing my mind Hayley. I am not you, I can't be crazy one day and back to normal the next"

I didn't reply. Instead I just stared at him, offended by his remark.

He pinched his glabella and sighed

"I'm sorry love, I didn't mean to"

I nodded to myself as I folded my lips and sucked them in.

"You know there is nothing and no one in this world I love more than you and Hope" he hardly said

"I do" I whispered, trying not to sob

"But you have to understand, I am breaking apart and I need to fix this the way I can"

I took a deep breath and allowed him to wrap me in his arms. He stroked my hair as I slowly threw my hands around his neck.

"I'm sorry about tonight" he whispered

"So am I" I replied

He breathed in my scent and threw his head back tiredly.

"I will fix this, no matter what it takes" I whispered "I just want you to know that"

He didn't reply. We stood that way, wrapped up in each other, for a while longer.

I thought I knew how I could fix his problems, so the next day I started researching methods, but whilst I achieved what I was plotting (which was no simple thing, but we'll get to that later) I had to find a way to keep him calm and somewhat happy.

The conclusion I came to was to please him sexually and I decided to put that plan into action over the course of the next few days.

I grabbed his hand and pulled him after me to the bedroom, pushing him on the bed to his dismay.

"Hayley I will not sleep stop insisting"

I climbed on top of him, placing a leg on each side and pushing him further down. As he tried to speak again I kissed his mouth shut. My lips dived into him and he kissed me back hard. One of my hands were in his hair as the other crawled downwards and stopped underneath me, right over his sensitive area.

I squeezed my fingers a little, still mouth to mouth, which led to him wincing. My fingers tiptoed to his zipper and I got in. His pupils dilated, and he moaned into my mouth.

"I miss you" I whispered

He didn't reply, he simply threw his head back as I climbed down and sat on the floor by his legs, unbuckling his belt and dropping his jeans on the ground.

"Hayley what are you doing love?" he finally asked

"I want you" I whispered as I dropped his briefs too

He sat up and held my hands

"Hayley this isn't what you need to do. I know you feel guilty…"

I pulled my hands out of his and grabbed his length, my free hand pulling him into a kiss.

He was out of breath as I brought pleasure to his body. I pulled away from his lips and moved downwards again. As my pouty lips contacted him he threw himself back down on the bed.

"You're quite passionate tonight love" he breathed out

I popped him out of my mouth and smiled "Is it a bad thing?"

He shook his head and allowed me to go back to what I was doing. After a bit longer he grabbed me from the arms and threw me back down on the bed.

"I had no idea I was in the mood for this" he said as he lunged at my neck, kissing and sucking on it just enough painfully.

I started pulling off his shirt as his hands ripped apart mine, allowing his lips to crawl down to my breasts, where he remained for a while, before continuing to go downwards.

He pulled down my jean skirt and took a look at me.

"It's amazing what you can do to a man" he whispered as I felt his hands move to my underwear, slowly getting under it and pushing it away from the area he wanted to get to.

"I know, I am that way" I replied as my breath got cut short. He lifted my legs and placed them on his shoulder as he did what he does in between.

I was moaning, unable to control myself. I was supposedly going to please him today, but he managed to make sure I was just as ecstatic.

A combination of his lips and fingers made grab onto the pillow so hard not to scream it tore apart and the bed got full of feathers. There was, after all, other living in the compound with us.

When I let out one final moan of pleasure he finally pulled up and came close to my face. I felt his arms wrap me and carry me higher up the bed so we could be comfortable. He lay between my legs, ready to take the next step when I pushed him back on his spine and climbed on top of him again. He smiled at my confidence as I took the perfect pose and made our bodies become one.

We moved up and down in the same rhythm for a long time, until he grabbed me and made me go underneath. He grabbed each of my thighs with one hand and used them to pull himself closer and apart.

We tried to be quiet, we really did, but the insane chemistry we had made sure we couldn't. I bit my lips to keep calm and he buried his face on my neck.

Suddenly he lifted his head, his face read from keeping silent, and said something unexpected.

"I'm not wearing protection" he whispered

"So?" I asked as I continued to enjoy myself

"So don't you think I should pull back before we have another unplanned pregnancy in our hands?"

"Firstly, don't say that Hope can hear you" I snapped

"Hayley I'm pretty sure…"

"Secondly, I'm a hybrid now, so shut up and continue to do me"

"Hayley I was a hybrid too when I impregnated-"

I shut his mouth with my lips once again as he moved towards me one last time, making me scream into his mouth with pleasure and him groan.

He lay on top of me, motionless and tired. Slowly and carefully I pushed him back on the bed. He mumbled something as I kissed his hand over and over again. He was trying to catch his breath as his eyes shut, dropping him into a slumber.

I was successful.

I climbed out of the bed and threw on a silk robe, covering up my nudity. I took some other clothes from the closet and carefully tiptoed out of the room.

"Well, that worked" Kol said right as I came out of the room and made me jump

"What the hell Kol!" I mouthed and pushed him away from the door "He hardly fell asleep you ding-dong!" I snapped loudly when we reached the ground floor

"Who knew the big ol' hybrid could fall asleep from tiredness after sex…so ordinary"

"The big ol' Hybrid is anything but ordinary, he's just really tired these last few days"

"Whatever you say sunshine, but I'll use this against him one day"

I kicked him on the crotch, making him fold in half

"Why did you do that love?" he said in a high pitch voice

"Just a hint of the pain you'll feel if you ever do"

He nodded as he tried to straighten up

"Anywhere, where was I…"

"We were about to go talk to Mikael for some bizarre reason"

"I need his advice"

"The man's a bloody monster, you need nothing from him"

"Kol I thought we stopped hating Mikael? Everyone deserves a redemption and he got his"

"I'm not hating him…necessarily…I'm just saying we shouldn't share such grand plans with him"

"Many would argue I shouldn't share grand plans with you either"

"Bullshit" he blurted out as we started walking to Mikael's tiny room

He opened the door before we could knock.

"Hayley, I'm pretty sure the stepson would murder me if you tried to seduce me" he said as he eyed my robe

"Wha…no!" I yelled in protest "Shoot Kol you kept me preoccupied and I forgot to change into these" I snapped as I showed them the clothes

"How exactly were you keeping her occupied?" Mikael asked, his eyebrows almost reaching his hair

"Oh no, I'm not the one she made love to, it's Nik" he replied, which led to me slapping him on the head

"Anyway…" I said as I eyed Kol to shut it "I need to ask you for help, can you meet me outside in five minutes? I need to get a quick change, obviously"

He nodded and I pulled Kol out of there after me. I didn't want to leave the two devious Mikaelsons together.

"Go out and wait for me, I'll join you" I said and went into the common bathroom.

I wore my dress and boots quickly and looked into the mirror. I didn't look great because of all the sweating during sex, but my gorgeous face managed to make up for it. Yes, I am very confident.

I walked outside and saw Kol standing alone by a tree. Just as I reached Kol the front door opened and Mikael also came.

"So…what's the deal?"

I looked at Kol one last time before taking a deep breath and beginning to explain.

"You know how Klaus has been tormented and haunted lately?" I asked as I folded my arms "You know, seeing his mother and all"

"Yes I do…well deserved if you ask me…but go on"

"Stop it" I snapped

"Go on Hayley I haven't got forever"

Everyone was in a mood today

"Well, I may have found a way to solve that"

"We may have" Kol corrected

"Yes…we want to destroy the other side once and for all"

Mikael stared at me blankly

"Excuse me?" he asked in shock

"We want to destroy the other side"

[Intermission: As you may have noticed Bonnie and Damon's death didn't destroy the other side in this fic as it did in the show. Keep that in mind as you read this because here Hayley is, as a banshee, the only remaining anchor and therefore can destroy it]

"I'm sorry but that is ridiculous"

"No, it isn't. By destroying it we can stop all these evil people coming back from the dead once and for all"

"I came back from there and so did Kol, Damon and Bonnie" he snapped "It is necessary for us supernatural beings"

"I know all of that…we just have to try hard to make sure you do not die"

"What a pathetic plan, sacrificing everything you are just so your love can find peace"

"I am not sacrificing everything I am!" I yelled back

"I don't think you realize what you're doing"

"I think you're overreacting"

"Oh my child, I surely am not" he said as he started pacing around "Do you know who Qetsiyah is?"

"No" I replied coldly

"She's the creator of the other side, for reasons that are too much for your understanding"

"Fine, what does this-"

"Do you know who else she unknowingly created at the same time?"

We both shook our heads

"The first Banshee" he elaborated

I stared at him blankly in disbelief

"You were created as an anchor for the other side, that's why all the books say you can destroy it, but the thing is, once the other side is destroyed what will remain of you as a weeping woman is highly unknown"

"Are you saying I won't be able to see ghosts anymore?" I asked

"That would be the good outcome…" he said as he looked deep into my eyes "…the worst is you lose voice and become nothing special, simply a hybrid"

"Simply is an understatement…" Kol said under his breath

"You always saw yourself, and were, more than us for being a banshee. Imagine yourself without that power and rethink your decision"

With that he turned around hotly and sped back inside.

I held my forehead and started swearing. I didn't expect this information to pop out. I was quite happily about to do what all the books said I should to prevent the dangers that the other side could cause.

"I don't only see supernatural dead people" I whispered

"Well, mostly you do"

"But not only" I repeated

"Do you still want to do it?"

I raised my shoulders showing I had no idea and walked back to the house. I climbed up the stairs and into our bedroom to see Klaus, only to find him talking in his sleep.

"You will not get close to her" he said "You shall see me dead before you touch her"

"Klaus" I whispered as I came closer to him

"I will protect her till my last breath…no I do not care or believe what you say…she died when I was a child…whatever you did to Freya is on your shoulders, keep me out of it"

"Klaus" I said again as I sat by his side and put my hand on his cheek

"I don't care if he's alive. He is no father to me"

"Klaus baby wake up" I said as I held his shoulders and shook him

"I will kill anyone if you get near her"

"Klaus!" I screamed and his eyed burst open

His eyes got covered with vein and he opened his mouth to reveal his fangs. He grabbed my hands and stood up, pushing me against the wall. Before I could react he shoved his hand inside my chest and into my heart. He started squeezing it as I couldn't breathe.

"Klaus…it's me…me…Klaus…it's me…its Hayley" I said breathlessly as I started to cough up blood

But he had lost control. He squeezed and I could feel myself die slowly. I lifted my head up and used my voice in a special way to whisper in such a pitch that would make people far away hear me.

Suddenly, just as he was about to pull my heart out for good, the door burst open and Kol walked in. He looked at us for a second before raising his hand and making Klaus fly away from me and against the wall.

I dropped on the ground covered in blood as I continued to cough. Kol ran to my side and cupped my cheeks as I looked at him in pain.

"I heard you whisper for help in my room, what the bloody hell happened?"

I took short, deep breaths as tears slid from my eyes. He pulled me in a hug as I continued to weep. Klaus started sitting up, staring at his blood covered hands.

"We have to do it Kol. We have to destroy it" I said in between sobs

"Hayley" Klaus finally whispered and I pulled apart from Kol

He was still staring at his hand in shock. I started crawling towards him

"Hayley don't" Kol advised but I ignored it

I knew Klaus would never willing hurt me. I reached his side and looked at him with tears.

"Its okay" I whispered as he looked at my blood covered body with guilt

"I could have killed you" he simply said as his eyes watered up

"But you didn't" I replied as I cupped his cheeks

"Thanks to me" Kol said from the back

"Klaus listen to me" I whispered as I tried to lean in and kiss him calmingly but he pulled back

"She did this to me" he said with huge, wet eyes "What if she makes me do this to Hope?"

"You are Hope's father. No power can make you hurt her"

"And you are her mother, but that didn't stop me from keeping her away from you in order to keep her safe"

"What are you talking about?" I said as I started breathing normally again

"You need to keep Hope away from me…I need to keep away from all of you until this is solved"

"Klaus don't be crazy" I said but suddenly he wasn't there anymore. He had left, leaving nothing but a breeze behind him.

I looked at Kol hurtfully as tears slid down my cheeks

"Tonight Kol" I said as I stood up and left the room angrily

I didn't even change. I simply wiped my face clean, wore a jacket and hurried out. I had to get a drink alone before changing my life forever.

I sat in the Devereux bar with a scotch in my hand and tears in my eye. Seeing Klaus that way brought out an emotion in me I never felt before. It was a weird mixture of fear and worry, and it felt terrible, naturally.

As I was deep in thought someone pulled the chair by my side and sat down, placing his glass of scotch on the table. It was Stefan Salvatore.

"Drinking again" he said with a smile "And crying, it seems. What made you cry? Is yet another fiancé of yours a total douchebag?"

I didn't appreciate throwbacks to the fact that we were betrothed once.

"No" I replied coldly

"You wreak of blood" he said as he bit his lips

"Can I help you Stefan?" I asked as I sat up and looked into his eyes

"Has anyone told you how beautiful you are?" he asked as he leaned in closer to my face

I pulled back and leaned on the back of my chair instead

"What a stupid question, of course they have"

I rolled my eyes. I wasn't in the mood.

"I never saw that in Elizabeth. I was far too obsessed with Katherine to care"

I folded my arms, showing my lack of care for his story

"But you were sleeping with Katherine, and I did know this" he said "It hurt more than the fact that she used to be with Damon…even though she told me what you have was just fun"

"I was her best friend" I snapped and came closer to his face

"Touched a nerve there didn't I?" he asked annoyingly "Katherine does that to people"

"Katherine is with the love of her life. Damon is with his. But you, you have Caroline but you're still not pleased. Why are you trying to gloom over everyone like some badass?"

"Maybe because I was looking at all the wrong places since the beginning?" he said as we came dangerously close

"Hayley?" a third voice asked as I pulled back from the trance Stefan had set on me

"Jackson" I replied as I stood up to greet him

"Can we talk? I have been looking all over for you, I guess you were too busy to check your phone" he said as his eyes rested on Stefan

"I…no I just…what did you want to talk about?"

"Come outside, this is private"

I nodded and followed him out

"It's about your wedding" he explained

"Please Jack I am not in the mood for all that" I said as I lifted my hands to the air, leading to reveal of the blood on my dress

"My god Hayley!" he gasped as he hurried to my side and put his hand on my chest "You're bleeding"

We came eye to eye for one split second before I step backing, dropping his hand back to his side

"I was bleeding. It's not of importance. What were you going to say about my wedding?"

"I…well…I may have found out why the wolves want you back"

"What? Why is that?"

"My friend Ansel, he told me there's this thing...this thing that well...it led me to think that the wolves want you back as a Queen because if they attend the wedding, as a result of a ritual, the will end up harnessing the powers you and Klaus share"

"What?"

"And Hayley, I fear that includes your voice too"

My eyes fluttered from anger as yet another problem got dropped on my shoulders.

Hey guys! So do you think Hayley should go on with her plan? What do you think about what the wolves are plotting? Do you have any ideas about what could happen next? Is Stefan acting a bit weird?

Leave a review and let me know what your answers are and what you thought! I will try to update again soon!
