Klaus searched for Agnes all night in every hiding place he remembered or investigated upon his Return before he Returned to the compound empty handed , he knew that the witch is Hiding from him . but sadly for her he was Klaus Mikaelson and he will find her by any means and make her pay .
He walked in to the sight of Finn lecturing Rebekah and Kol about the Rules of the family and How to always guard yourself against enemies .
" How can you be this naive Rebekah you are not a little girl even if you look like it you loved for over a thousand years and you still. Get played by vampire who is a fraction of your age " . Finn Growled angrily .
" for the thirty something time you let the deceitful words and the face of a man lead you to nearly destroy us " . Kol hissed in anger . " a you were sagging that Basterd Stefan while that tramp and her Brother murdering me and plotting to end you " .
Rebekah flinched back in Guilt . her normally bright and spirited eyes filled with tears . he sighed as his heart softened a little he Hate it when Rebekah cry . and it is not entirely her fault Elijah was too soft with Elena Gilbert probably channelling his guilt over Katerina's fate on her .
And he let his attraction and slightly growing fondness to the young vampire effect him , sadly for her and her gang of friends it will not help her ever again if she or them ever crossed him again they will die as sad as the thought of her death make him she wasn't the first woman he liked that he killed himself .
Unfortunately the young vampiris has chosen to lay waste to her talents and bright future by staying in that puny hellhole called mystic falls and in the protect the Doppelganger even if it kill us gang lead by the Salvatore Brother's .
" and they plotted my ends many times I confess that I let my attraction to Caroline cloud my judgment , without her distracting me none of their plans would have succeeded but fear not Brothers and sister I never give my trust twice as I did with Caroline . if she or her friend attempt anything again anything no matter How small they will die by my own Hands " . Klaus promised as he santured down the stairs to where his Siblings were sitting in the Garden .
" Nik " . the three greeted him with a smile .
" Good Morning ," . he returned with a smile " is Hayley still sleep ? " . He asked curiously .
" I checked on her two hours ago she was sleeping peacefully " . Rebekah answered him with a tearful smile .
" I will leave you to your lecturing Brothers , have Amanda serve Breakfast in an Hour " . he requested before he went to his Room to shower and change . " don't go easy on her Finn , Hopefully she will learn her lesson this time " . he throw back over his shoulder .
" She did , Right sister ? " . Finn demanded with a cold glare .
" I won't trust or chose anyone over family again I promise" . Rebekah answered obediently .
Klaus smirked at her answer and speed to his Bathroom , He plan to put the fear of Mikaelson's on the Witch's Hearts starting with Sophie Deveraux , if the witch thought that by linking her life to Hayley's and Hope she can play them to her tune she was mistaken . the Moment they were unlinked she is a dead witch .
He made his way to Hayley's Room as he fixed his navy grey Henley top and black leather Jacket with one hand and balanced the cup of ginger tea in the other habd. her door was left slightly open so they won't wake her up when they check on her .
He smiled at the sight of Hayley cocooned on the silk sheets her hair fanning her pillows and her mouth was tugged in a soft smile .
It never seize to amaze him how the Energetic vibrant woman before him could have such a sweet calm visage in her sleep no matter How many times he wake her up .
He entered the Room to start his Daily Routine .
Hayley Pov :
Hayley wake-up to Klaus voice like she did everyday for the past few weeks , But this time she felt well Rested . " Good Morning , little Wolf " . Klaus Greeted her with a Boyish smile .
' Mmm , Morning , what time is it ? " . She asked Him curiously , she watched as his gaze flickered Over her Laptop and Elijah'sjournal beside it his eyes flashed and his smile dropped for a second before his Expression returned to it's previous calm and playfulness .
" it is already past seven " . He answered her absentmindedly , before he gestured to the journal with a finger and a Raised Eyebrow . " if I'm not mistaken , this one of Elijah's ! " .
" yeah , I was interested in the court live in the Tudor Era , he was Kind enough to let me Read it . I never knew that you were so involved in Human History you and Elijah completely Run the Court " . Hayley answered with Amusement as she sat on bed and Tried to twist her Hair into a Bun .
Klaus's scowl turned into an Amused grin , " Ah , the old life of court of deceit and Dopple meaning Words , we Did control most of Europe political and economically . we Had a Bet you see , we Didn't use Compulsion for over a Decade just our Scheming minds " . he informed her as he Made his way and sat beside her in Bed .
Hayley smiled at Him and asked curiously . " what is the plan for Today ? " .
" aside from our Ancestors dubious Ritual ? " . Klaus asked her with an annoyed huff .
" Yes Klaus aside from that ? " . Hayley asked with an Eye roll .
" Nothing much , I suggest you call Elijah after Breakfast he has Been asking about you " . Klaus suggested with a smirk .
Hayley groaned as she slapped her forehead . " I knew that I was forgetting something , Is he in Portland ? " .
" He arrived early this morning , He is meeting the Parker's this afternoon " . Klaus informed her , she got off Bed and made her way to the Bathroom .
" I will join you and Rebekah in twenty minutes " . she Promised as she closed the Door behind her .
She changed into a High waist denim skirt and white Lace long sleeves Blouse she brushed her Hair and left it to fall freely over her shoulder and Back and Blue suede fur flats .
She walked into the Dinning Room ,with a smile picking immediately on the tense silence of the four Mikaelsons . " Oh God , Who died ? " . she halted on her steps and asked Worriedly , she only took twenty minutes to get dressed .
Klaus and Kol chuckled Amusedly and Klaus waved her Beside him as he Answered . " No one died Love , we were having a word with our Baby sister expressing our Anger ..." .
" Disappointment " . Finn added with a cold tone , his eyes focused on the pale and Awkwardly eating Rebekah .
" And I repeat once more , disappointment . and disgust at our Strumpet sister actions " . Kol finished for his two older Brothers with an angry growl .
" Leave her Alone would you , she was in love and just Wanted to be Happy for once in her long existence . can't you Guy's empathise with How lonely and miserable she feel " . Hayley admonished the three with a protective Growl as she Rubbed Rebekah's shoulders in a soothing and worried gesture .
" That is not an Excuse for her shameful behavior Hayley , we may have our Differences and conflicts but in this family we do not chose outsider or let them Harm us , she Aided Marcel in Humiliating and Deceiving us " . Finn intoned Darkly .
" I will simply this too you love , only family can Hurt Family , Bekah crossed a line , and my covering and protection of her has Done nothing but encourage her it seems from our experience in Mystic falls and With Stefan and the Cure she learned nothing " . Kol snarled viscously .
" I'm Really sorry Nik , Kol . please can you forgive me this one I promise I will never chose anyone over Family again " . Rebekah pleaded tearfully .
" This Matter is over for a century Now " . Klaus sighed tiredly . " Rebekah will Have to compensate Kol in someway , let's focus on wrestling back control over our city " .
" sit and eat something Darling , I will go out to pick a guest in twenty minutes " . Klaus urged her as she sat down beside him , he passed her a plate of Beignets .
She smiled wistfully as she stared at the plate not even moving to take it from Klaus Hands . " Hayley , is something the Matter ? " . Finn asked her worriedly .
She shook her head and took the plate from Klaus and laid it infront of her before she Answered with an adoring smile's . " Not at All , Hope loves Beignets she can eat them all day since Klaus introduced her to it " .
The four were listening to her with enraptured and fond smiles . " She loved to Hear the story of How you first Tasted them she will ask you the story everytime you two sit in the Gardens and share a Plate with tea " . she informed Klaus with a smile her mind going back to the few month's of Bless they all shared , of Klaus and Hope Bonding .
Klaus smiled a Happy Fond one as he listened to Her . " I look forward to that , all of that " . He confessed gently .
" you know I'm really jealous of you , I carried her for Nine months , went through hell to give her Live . and you easily got to be the favourite parent , live is so not fair " . Hayley grumbled with a pout .
Rebekah Finn and Kol laughed at her pout , Klaus smirked at her and teased . " Don't pout little Wolf , what can I say I'm amazing like that " .
" Fuck you , and here I was planing to be Nice and let you in my Head to see my vision from last Night " . Hayley retorted with an angry Humph .
Klaus eyes lit up and he Hurriedly persuaded . " Let's not get carried out with our teasing little wolf , can I see her Now ? " . Klaus asked with a smile .
" You will have to wait until the evening to see her , next time don't antagonize a pregnant wolf we are temperamental Bitch's on best day's vindictive on the rest " . Hayley relented to his pleading eyes , but she still got her Payback .
He Growled but didn't press . " we will have to leave early so we can Reach the clearing before the Moon Rise up in the sky " . she informed Klaus and Rebekah .
" I will be back in Thirty minutes " . Klaus assured her as he sipped his coffee .
" I thought you have Nothing to do today ? " . Hayley asked with a confused frown .
" I'm just picking Sophie Deveraux and bringing her Here , for a chat " . Klaus stated with a smirk as he put down his empty mug and speed out of the compound .
" What was that ? " . Hayley asked the three Remaining Original's in shock .
" he plan to bring the Witch here for Questioning love , the Witch's were tasked with protecting you , they should take responsibility for their actions " . Finn answered her calmly .
she Nodded in understanding before she asked him curiously . " How is your mission of contacting Freya going , any breakthrough ? " .
" None until now " . Finn answered with a disappointed Head shake , " I'm not giving up , Amanda and me will try another spell today channeling the full moon to power through her defenses , Hopefully I can contact her tonight " . he elaborated with a sigh .
" Here for Hoping , Don't give up Brother we are Mikaelson's we always get our way " . Kol cheered him up with a bat to the shoulder and a smirk that Finn returned with fondness in his eyes .
" on this note , I plan to visit my Witch . I will be back later " . Kol announced before he Hurriedly left .
" His witch ? " . Rebekah questioned her with raised brows .
" I told you they were meant to be , he already like her ". Hayley laughed in delight .
Finn and Rebekah exchanged looks their smile fond but strained .
" let's pray that he doesn't mess this up " . Finn sighed .
" Amen " . Rebekah sighed back in worry and slight jealousy .
Rebekah and she finished breakfast and the two of them moved to the living Room , Finn excused himself to the Library . and she took her phone once she perched on the leather coach and dialed Elijah's number .
Klaus :
Klaus was sitting in the Back Kitchen of Rousseau's , it was early in the Morning which is why it was empty of employees . he was going through another report his spies on the mystic falls gang activities he never turn his back on enemies , they had crossed him and His family killed Finn and Kol and nearly did the same to him and Rebekah he will get his revenge on them starting with their precious Doppelganger , Bonnie Bennett should be thankful that her ancestors are protecting her or the Revenge he had planned for her would have made a miserable pathetic mess of her for the rest of her days .
Thankfully the Bennett line protection does not extend to the rest of the mystic falls residence , he had already started his revenge on Jeremy Gilbert per Kol and Finn wish's the Boy will suffer slowly and agonisingly until he end his own life again and again with the Help of the Bennett resurrecting ring .
He would love to see Elena Gilbert face once she realize her Brother fate and that the only way to cure his madness was in his hands , he wonder if she will ever link that the trigger to his curse is her , that the only way to limit the curse was to cut her ties with him to never speak to or see him again and the only cure is her death .
The Doppelganger has always preached on the important of family but she killed his own for her own selfishness and condemned him for doing the same even when he promised to protect her loved ones if she toed the line , she keeps going on about how she will die for any of her loved one's will she should consider this a test to her own truthfulness and family love .
This was just the beginning of his Revenge on them Elena Gilbert is a vampire now and he will enjoy hunting her and her friends for Eternity now with Katerina A Human and her limitation to humanism he need to find a new target to channel his Anger at .
He raised his head from his phone and pocketed it in his jacket , his impeccable Hearing has picked on the sounds of Sophie Deveraux footsteps and the ruffle of the Bags on her hands .
She looked up after he closed the door behind her , her eyes meet his and he smirked at her she opened her mouth to probably scream but he caught her by the Neck and cut off her breath , " thank you for deciding to show up at this convenient time , I would love a word with you " .
He kicked the bags under her cooking table and speed away with the struggling witch to his compound .
He dragged the witch into the living Room where Rebekah and Hayley were waiting for them to Return , he carelessly deposited the witch on one of the couch's and moved to follow Hayley who gestured for him to follow her out .
" Hayley ? " . he questioned once the two of them were both in the Hallway , Hayley looked back at the terrified looking witch inside and answered him with a worried frown .
" I had a vision one of Marcel informants found the Witch's body in the Bayou he will call you to going him in his investigation " . she informed him with a frown .
" why not bring his daywalkers ? " . he asked curiously , he may not oppose Marcel directly but his intention are clear Marcel would be foolish to leave his seat of power with him even if he brought some of his day walkers .
" your Blood can cure Werewolves Bite , but he doesn't care he is shaken by your close encounter with Davina he want to use this to distract you so he can smuggle her out the city " . Hayley elaborated with a glare at Sophie , that was a cunning plan now Marcel is using his brain not brown to try and outmanoeuvre him .
Good thing he has Hayley , " don't tell Sophie she will want to find the Witch's and consecrate them which will endanger us both , we have an important Ritual today nothing should go wrong " . Hayley warned as she looked back in his eyes , he sighed and rubbed her cheek soothingly unhappy with how agitated she was getting .
" I got this love , I will deal with Marcel , Rebekah will Handle Sophie . and Kol will convince Davina to stay here " . he assured and lead her back to the Living room .
Hayley took a seat across from Sophie and Rebekah sat beside her the two joined him at glaring daggers at the startled witch .
" We had a deal ! You protect my unborn child , I dismantle Marcel's army . And whilst I've been busy fulfilling my part of the bargain , you allowed Hayley to be attacked and almost killed by a gaggle of lunatic witches " . he Growled in angry accusation at the witch .
" I hadnothingto do with it , I swear . Hayley and I are linked , remember ? She dies , I die " . Sophie explained frantically .
Rebekah raised her brow and demanded . " Then who were they ? " .
Sophie sighed and rubbed her forehead tiredly and answered fearfully . " They are a faction of extremists . Sabine stupidly told them about some vision she had about the baby " .
Klaus raised his brow as well and demanded with a glare . " What kind of vision ? " .
Hayley has already shared Celeste scheme and her nonsensical prophecy , How the Witch's will believe that claptrap is beyond his understanding , maybe they didn't and they didn't care if Celeste is laying as long as they can kill his little girl . as for him he won't give a dam if Hope went on and ended all Witch's , Freya and hope are not Ancestral Witch's the Rest can burn on a stick for all he care .
" She has them all the time . They aretotallyopen to interpretation . I'm guessing she's wrong on this on " . Sophie explained with a tired sigh .
" Well , how , may I ask , was this particular vision interpreted ? " . he continued to press with feigned interest .
Sophie rolled her eyes and scoffed an answer . " Pretty much that your baby would bring death to all Witch's " .
" Ah , well . I grow fonder of this child by the second " . Klaus retorted with a smirk at Hayley who smiled and returned with her own . " Here for Hoping she will one day " .
Sophie looked between the two of them with fearful and cautious expression probably startled with their casual brush of the prophecy dictating their daughter as mass murderer .
" are you two serious ? " . Sophie asked with a trembling voice .
" I hate you and all of your coven , I'm pretty much game for anyone who want to end you . I have never caused you harm and was minding my own business you were the one who kidnapped me and are threatening my Baby's life , so yes i want everyone of you dead at my feet " . Hayley retorted icily her eyes glowing amber for a second as she looked down at the witch like she is an insect she will love to crush .
He had to bit his cheek not to laugh at the flabbergasted and indignant look on Sophie's face , Rebekah didn't have such a Restrain as she beamed at Hayley and shifted a predatory smile at Sophie , seems like Rebekah had developed a fondness to the little wolf not just as incubator as she first referred to Hayley but as a friend .
That was an unheard of feat as no one but Rare few can put up with his cantankerous sister , but those two get on like a House on fire . Hayley never take offense to any of Rebekah's dig's and never shied from returning cutting and sarcastic Remarks to any of them especially Bekah and Kol , the two took it in stride having Rarely met someone who can outwit them or take their dark jokes and saw them as Jokes .
Rebekah sighed and picked back the topic fishing for information . " Sophie , look ... I promised Elijah that I would protect the Mikaelson miracle-baby whilst we tries to win your witch Davina's loyalty. Why don't you tell me just how extreme this faction is ? " .
" you talked with Davina ? " . Sophie asked with shock and Hope .
" I did , yesterday in fact " . Klaus answered with a victorious smirk .
Sophie turned to him with fearful but determined eyes she wetted her lips before she whispered . " I'm guessing she'll have plenty to say about that " .
" You have no idea , but what is important is what you have to say Sophie Deveraux " . Klaus Demanded darkly .
Elijah and himself has tried to get information on the Harvest but a side from a few whisperes here and there and Hayley's information nothing could be found on that Ritual he want to hear about it from the Witch's themselves while Kol interrogate Davina for her side of the story .
Sophie sighed again before she startd her story . " I ... wasn't always an advocate for the witches " .
He sat beside Hayley who looked Bored by this interaction like she had already saw it before she probably did he passed her his phone the Report that her friend Mike has assembled about the north east Atlantic pack .
Her friend was a gifted researcher he had a knack for collecting and analysing Data he was able to track his father pack history to the early seventeen century the family line the alpha the strongest families on the pack that may oppose his Right to lead in a month and promised to track it further back as much as he can in the next two months .
when Hayley first introduced him to her riffraff group of friends as fellow Wolf's that can help them he wasn't optimistic but he indulged her anyway , but was he proven wrong . Mike was an intellectual genius who has no trouble finding and tracking any information about anyone with a computer and the help of his two sidekicks Clark and Emma who will collect any written data he couldn't find in the web the three was a complementary team they rose to his challenge and traced back Evert movement He and Elijah did the past decade even their shopping lists the past ten years .
He was both impressed and creeped out by their efficiency , he Hired the eleven immediately and moved them to Boron rouge in when of his states he is paying for their services to spy on their enemies and destroy every information they find on him or his family .
And they didn't disappoint him yet last week they sent him a detailed list of all of Lucien lakes and employees his properties and secret labs and his vervain supplier talk about efficiency , they are still tracking his according to Hayley now certifiably insane ex and her creepy brother who is a stiffer if possible more Arrogant and homicidal version of Elijah .
Hayley took the phone from him with a whispered . " Thank you " . and immersed Herself on the reports .
He returned his attention to Sophie as started the Tail of her wild life just over a year ago and her Hookup with Marcel of all vampires in new Orleans , in the positive side Rebekah looked both enraged and disgusted enough to never want to be bear Marcel ever again .
Rebekah cut her off with a feigned confusion even though disgust was still visible on her face . " What the bloody hell is a Harvest ? " .
" It's a ritual our coven does every three centuries so that the bond to our ancestral magic is restored . We appease our ancestors , they keep our ancestral power flowing " Sophie explained with a frown .
" And why haven't I heard of this ? When we previously lived here " . Klaus Demanded the most important answer he was looking for , he had made it his mission to keep his eyes on the Witch's so they don't disrupt his control over the city .
Sophie hurried to explain . " Because a Harvest always seemed like a myth . A story , passed on through generations like Noah's ark , or the Buddha walking on water . The kind some people take literally, and some people don't " . she said the last part in a pained whisper as her eyes closed angrily .
" well continue then " . Rebekah urged her unsympathetically .
And she did starting from her Return to the city and her reunion with her family and her interference and conversation with the dead elder Bastianna , at least he got the other three Harvest girls names Monique Deveraux , Cassie and Abigail he will investigate the three before he move his plans up .
From the corner of his eyes he noticed Hayley's form stiffened at the mention of the Harvest girls her handle on his phone tightened but she didn't break it and for a second her eyes shifted Amber in color and glinted murderously a second layer she Relaxed back to her casually nonchalant self .
Rebekah sent him an inquiring lookover Hayley's bowed head and he shock his head at her to leave it be , he will get to the bottom of this later .
Sophie continued obliviously with anger in her tone . " They had the girls of our community preparing for months . Four would be chosen for the Harvest . They said that it was an honor , that they were special. I thought it was amyth " .
" was it ? " . Rebekah questioned her intrigue .
Sophie looked guilty , but before she can say anything to answer Rebekah's question , Klaus's cell phone rings Hayley passed it to him . He took it and saw that it's Marcel and answers it with an eye roll and a Halting hand gesture to Sophie he moved outside and out of hearing range .
" Marcel . Bit early in the day for you , isn't it ? " . Klaus asked sarcastically , he wasn't in the mood to indulge His progeny , and the fact this is just a diversion is gritting on his nerves .
" I know , I make this look easy , but I still have an empire to run " . Marcel answered back equally sarcastic but he picked the hidden tremors in his voice and he smirked .
" Rather you than me . All that responsibility seems like such abore " . He returned nonchalantly , he didn't envy Marcel the Responsibilities but that isn't enough to to deter him he Have Elijah's to help him Rule this city for two centuries , with Finn and Kol Return he won't have any trouble As chaotic as Kol is he was will educated and can shoulder responsibility once he put his mind to it he and Elijah had saw to that .
" Well , this might spice things up ... I just heard about a bunch of dead witches out in the Bayou . The kinda damage a werewolf might do , only there was no full moon . I have an informant out there I need to meet , and I would love for you to go with me " . Marcel continued his tone polite but the demand was obvious he wasn't giving him a choice in this or so he thought .
" No " . Klaus answered without hesitation .
Marcel paused for a second too long before he stuttered . " W... What ? , why not ? " . he asked curious and panicked at the same time .
" Simple , I have it with this waiting game . did you forget that I raised you Marcellus , using lies like that to divert my attention from the Witch's who are scheming against me , you don't want me thinking that you are into their plot too Marcellus , Do you ? " . Klaus Demanded with his normal dose if paranoia .
" No man , I'm not stupid you know that I'm not that reckless " . Marcel hurried to defend himself . listen why don't you meet me in this Bar at Bayou and we can talk this through " . finally he suggested with a sigh .
Klaus didn't answer immediately stretching the younger vampire nerves to threads before he sighed theatrically . " Oh , why not ? I Haven't been to the Bayou in ages and you better have good news waiting for me send me the location . I'm on my way " . he relented with a last threat .
" I will wait for you " . Marcel dodged before he cut the call off .
He smirked down at his phone and returned to the sitting Room where Rebekah was still interrogating Sophie . Hayley looked at him With a Questioning look .
" I need to go and play Nice with Marcel , while he try and sneak his super weapon out of town " . he answered the three questioning look .
" He can't do that if he take Davina out of the community we will all Die " . Sophie jumped frantically to her feet's .
" he won't be able too I have taken care of this but I need note information about this Harvest and this girl , I want his weapon to be ineffective and for that you will sit here tight and answer all of my sister questions " . Klaus ordered with a threatening finger wave to the witch face .
" can you really stop him from smuggling her out the city ? " . Sophie asked worriedly .
" you don't know what I'm capable off yet love , now sit down and finish your tail " . He ordered again with a confident smirk , before he speed off to his meeting with Marcel .
Davina pov :
Davina wake up to one of her Recurring Nightmares to the sight of Kol Mikaelson looking at her drownings .
" Good Morning little Darling , you are a Talent much like my older brother " . Kol greeted without turning back to look at her .
She sighed and got off bed gathering her Hair and braiding it . " why are you here thus early ? " . she asked curiously .
" go wash up and change love , we gave a long day before us " . Kol ordered again not looking back and ignoring her Question .
A little used to the ancient vampire attitude she Huffed but took a change of clothes to her Bathroom , half an hour later she returned in blue skinny jeans and ivory sleeveless Blouse . she made a Bee line to the Refrigerator and took out yogurt and a spoon from the drawer .
She moved to stand beside the vampire ad she took a spoonful of her strawberry yogurt . " which brother do you mean ? " . she questioned him curiously .
" Klaus he is a proud and obsessive artist he visits every famous and no famous art exhibition and opened his own , studied and taught many famous artists too " . Kol answered absentmindedly .
" You said we gave a long day before us ? " . she asked again , surprised to learn this new side of the fearsome Hybrid .
" We do love " . He turned to her and frowned his brow and signed disdainfully at the yogurt in her Hand and asked in disbelieve. " is that what you are having for Breakfast ? " .
She looked at her strawberry and banana yogurt and looked back at him in confusion . " um , yeah ! .
" throw that thing in the trash now , your a growing girl , a witch Davina Claire . you should eat a filling meal not this junk " . Kol ordered furiously .
" get , their is nothing wrong with yogurt its delicious healthy and keep my weight and shape good ". Davina defended with an offended frown .
" it is also meant to be a snack not a meal , where us that useless waste of Blood that was supposed to look after you ? " . Kol sneered as he looked around the small Attic for anything that suitable to consume in his opinion .
" wait , why are we fighting over my food preference now ? " . she asked feeling lost and confused .
Kol closed his eyes and sighed clearly reigning in his temper . " you are a witch Davina and a growing girl you need to eat three healthy and filling meals , you are pumped with power with dark magic your body and internal organs could be damaged by it , if you ever want to channel strong magic in the future and extend your life span and your pretty looks you need to eat more practise more and learn even more " . Kol lectured her with Dark unfathomable eyes .
She looked down at her cup yogurt and thought of his words it foes make sense to her but she didn't understand what he meant by extending her life and youthfulness . " I now that Witch's can live will into their seventies and eighties but they all look old and wrinkled " . she contemplated out loud .
" that because Witch's this days are stupid and uneducated , my mother was in her late fifties but she looked in her late twenties , and there were none of the convenience's of this time , you are powerful enough to live for a century and more and still look eighteen or in your early twenties if you took care of yourself , now do you want too ? " . Kol asked her with a smirk .
She looked at him incredulously , is he stupid or retarded . " Kol I'm a girl of course I want to look young and Beautiful for as long as I live " . she stated slowly .
" throw that thing away and open your Refrigerator , proteins and vitamins are your new best friends , I trust you are capable enough to prepare yourself something simple " . Kol ordered imperiously , she huffed at his arrogance but complied .
She know the Basics of cooking and under Kol strick instructions she managed a simple scrambled eggs and fruit salad , she sat on the only couch in the room with her food infront of her , and Kol Lounging in her bed .
" Now that you are feeding appropriately in something nutritious " . he started and she rolled her eyes at his theatrics . " tell me your story " . he finished with curious eyes .
She stiffened and looked up at him apprehensively . " what ? " . she asked breathlessly .
" your story Davina , his you come to be this powerful , and why the Witch's are after your live ? " . Kol pressed her with degrading look and an eye roll .
" Why do you want to know ? " . she asked defensively , suddenly losing her appetite .
" because your coven are threatening my family , and I'm investing my time and knowledge on you , the least you can do is be up front and tell me what the Witch's want from you ? " . Kol answered calmly his gaze determined and stubborn .
" you hate them ? " . Kol asked with fascination . " despise and Help Marcel kill them , why ? . they are your relative after all " . he continued with an amused tilt of his head .
Davina smiled she does hate them , she hate them more than anything if she can she want every single one of them dead she felt no Guilt for the with who died at Marcel hand she never reported the small spells or healing spells to Marcel , every witch she reported was using offensive curse's or locater spells no doubt to locate her like they can .
" Because they are lair's , all of them " . she whispered painfully her eyes filled with loathing .
Davina moved to one of the drawers and took out a sketch book she ruffled through it until she found a page she showed him the sketch of four young girls standing Together smiling Davina was in the far left beside her was a girl with short dark hair and a blonde girl then a girl with curly black hair .
" Their names are Cassie , Abigail and Monique , we were friends mist of our lives , Monique was my best friend her mother and aunt run Rousseau , and we were chosen " . Davina started her fingers touching her friends faces sadly .ritual " chosen for what ? " . Kol asked Calmly his eyes calm without a hint of pity or sympathy , Good she hate pity she has enough of that from Father Kieran and Marcel .
" They made me and my friends do this Harvest ritual . They said our participation would bring our family strength , health ... " . she laughed bitterly . " that we'd forever be celebrated as saviors of the community . But all they really wanted was more power . So , I left before they could get it . Now , they're running out of time , because after the Harvest , comes the Reaping . And if they don't complete the Harvest , there won'tbea Reaping . Soon , all the witches in the Quarter will start to lose their power . Eventually , they will cease to be witches altogether " . Davina finished vindictively , she looked at Kol with apprehension she knew His much he loved magic and he was sort of a friend to her she doesn't want him to Be disgusted by her words and secret wish .
Kol nodded in understanding before he leaned in and stated calmly . " You are stupid and childish Davina , and your plan won't work " .
" I'm not stupid " . Davina snarled angrily , how dare he call her stupid and childish he doesn't understand no understand her or what she has Been through . " you are just like everyone else ...I thought you will understand , but you are just like them " . she cried out angrily the mirror shattered to pieces and it flew every where .
" Davina " . Kol snapped calmly , and she breathed out uncontrollably and felt herself calm down .
" You don't understand " . Davina whispered tearfully , why was she crying ? , she didn't cry in a long time . why is she disappointed that he didn't understand when no one ever did not Marcel nor father Kieran or Cami who keep going about forgiveness and second chances , what dies she know about the supernatural world where mercy is a weakness and young age is nothing to those monster's .
" you are childish , you are afraid and scared little girl who which to hide and wait for the bad Witch's to go away , did you ever think for a moment what the Witch's will do to you " . Kol Demanded with an icy smile .
" they can't do anything to me , I will know if they used any spells and Marcel will kill them " . Davina defended Haughtily .
" yes because they are not desperate enough to stage a coup De Tate against Marcel , one witch can take down three or four vampires Davina and you can't track more than one witch at time , if five fifteen or fifty of them used spells at the same Rome you and Marcel will be checkmate " . Kol replied with an angry smile .
" do you think the Ancestors will let you get away with defying them , they can do what they are doing now , pump you with power until you are near death and you became an easy pick for the Witch's , think Davina . let's say your plan worked and all of you are human now what can a helplessly sixteen year old girl do against an enrage community out for her Blood , would Marcel protect you then when you are of no use to him " . Kol snapped harshly .
She stared at the man , vampire before her with wide disbelieving and panicked eyes she never thought of that never even contemplated it . it is quite possible that the Witch's will come for her once they are nothing but human his will she protect herself from them or the Ancestors wrath .
Kol sighed and moved to sit beside her . " you need to prepare for every situation Davina , Klaus can help I can help you " . he said gently , enticingly .
She looked at him Hopefully . " you can ? " . she asked in a whisper .
" I can , starting from making sure that you are the mist powerful witch in this city harvest or no harvest , and making sure that if the Witch's get their hand in you , you will be Resurrected with no trouble from the Ancestors " . Kol answered confidently .
" okay , what would we start with ? " . Davina asked eagerly , a side from spread lesson's from her mother and a handful from the elders she has never Been taught magic everything she knew she taught herself from reading Grimoires .
" first you must learn His to store magic as reserve for later use , grab any piece of jewelry that has a meaning to you the longer you had it the better it can be used " . Kol instructed with a smirk .
She moved to her small vanity and opened the jewelry box and took out a small pendent it was her great grandaunt Mary Alice it passed through her family until her Grandmother gave it to her as keepsake and a heirloom her mother was incensed she has liked the necklace and tried to weasel it out if her many time but she refused to give to her no matter how much her mother bribed or punished her .
It was beautiful necklace the chain was of sterling silver with Sapphire Blue' Swarovski crystal pendant suspended on dark sparkly diamond cut shape . she brought back to Kol who chuckled at the sight of the necklace . " why are you laughing ? " . she asked him curiously , not knowing if she should be offended or not she settled for being peevish .
" no need to be angry love , I gave that necklace to dear Mary so she can store her magic in and to be Heirloom to her decedent's everyone of your ancestors has poured a lot of their magic into this necklace making it a powerful talisman suitable for our need " . Kol explained with a smile .
No wonder her mother has wanted it , it's a powerful talisman after all .
" shall we start now my little love " . Kol asked her with seductive smirk .
She Beamed ignoring his suggestive tone and hurried to collect everything he asked for , feeling excited for her first proper magical lesson .
Elijah pov :
Elijah leaned back in his cushioned seat with a sigh as he continued his talk with Hayley .
" so you left Rebekah alone with Sophie ? "
He asked the shewolf once she finished narrating today's endeavor .
" yub , Kol with Davina , Finn is busy with Amanda preparing to contact Freya , Klaus went out to play with Marcel . and I'm here talking with you " . Hayley answered absentmindedly and he wandered what was the beautiful shewolf up too .
" did you get anything from Sophie Deveraux ? " . he asked her curiously .
" nothing new , apparently she crashed the harvest ritual many times and in the end she tattled to Marcel who swooped in and whisked Davina away her sister and coven where livid with her and bow she is in a mission to finish the ritual and bring back all the girls even if it kills her " . Hayley informed him with a hum .
" oh and they need an elder to finish the Ritual , jess who is their last elder ? " . Hayley asked with a hint of sarcasm .
" Agnes " . Elijah answered withholding a growl at the evil witch name .
" Agnes , Klaus is now more insistent on killing her " . Hayley stated with a small laugh .
" he kill he delay the harvest , buy himself a time until he control the next elder " . He explained , it's a good plan one that will pay them time and get them their revenge and serve as warning for the Witch's not to cross them easily , a cunning move from his brilliant mastermind brother .
" and how are you after last night ? " . He asked her worriedly .
Hayley huffed playfully and answered . " for the fifth time since the start of this phone call I'm well Hope is well we are both healthy . so Elijah stop fretting for the love of god , please " .
His lips twitched at her words and tone he acknowledge that he may have worried too much and pestered her a lot . " fine last time , the parkers will meet me in less than ten minutes . tell Nik to play save and Rebekah that I wil have a word with her once I return " .
" not you too Elijah " . Hayley Groaned . " can't you bee the sweet older brother and go easy on her this once ? " . she pleaded with him .
He was tempted to do that just for Hayley but Rebekah is his youngest sibling and he can't let her go this easily especially after such a betrayal . " I promise not too be to Harsh on her , but I do need to talk some sense into her love infested brain " . he explained gently .
" OK , as long as you don't go at her like your other siblings did " . Hayley relented . " we will call you later Lijah take care " .
" Elijah could pick up on Rebekah's voice and new she was there for Hayley he bid her goodbye . " Later then Hayley , be safe " .
With that he went on to finish dressing himself for the meeting with the Gemini coven .
Fifteen minutes later Elliot lead three guests in the one in the lead was a middle aged man dressed smartly in a suit his dark eyes intense and purposeful behind him were a young man and woman in their early twenties .
He stood up from his seat and Greeted them amiably . " Good afternoon , Messrs Parker , miss Parker . thank you for accepting my invitation " .
Joshua parker smiled a polite but strained smile as he answered . " of course , it isn't everyday that you got an invitation from the Mikaelson family to negotiate an Alliance " .
Elijah smiled and gestured towards the two youngsters . " they must be your children ? " . he inquired in a knowing tone .
Joshua gestured proudly at his twins . " please , Lucas and Olivia greet Mr . Mikaelson " . he ordered calmly .
" Nice to meet you sir " . the two greeted Lukas with a firm handshake and Olivia extended her hand for him he kissed it politely and probably noting the redness to her check .
" take a seat , Juliet will serve us a drink before lunch while Elliot escort our last guest here " . Elijah guided them to the seating area .
Joshua sat opposite him with his children at his sides . " I didn't know that someone will be joining us ? " . Joshua inquired curiously .
" no need to worry Mr . Parker , she is already here and you are more familiar with her than I'm " . Elijah soothed his hidden worries calmly as he took a sip from his aperitif .
Just then Elliot entered the Room with a polite announcement . " Dr . Laughlin is here sire " .
" invite her in please " . Elijah ordered noticing the way the three parkers stiffened at the mention of the estranged parker .
Elliot escorted a woman in her late thirties from her fascial features dark hair and blue eyes he recognized her as Josette Laughlin or parker dressed in a smart pencil skirt and silk blouse the woman was gentle and sweet as Hayley described .
He stood up and greeted her politely . " Dr . Laughlin a pleasure to meet you " .
" the pleasure is mine , Mr . Mikaelson " . the Dr answered politely . she turned to her father with and siblings with kind smile . " Dad , are they ? " . she finished breathlessly
" Jo " . Joshua greeted calmly . " This are Luke and liv your younger siblings , luk liv this Josette your older sister " . liv and Luke gaped at her , josette moved to sit beside them in a one of the one seats .
Elijah gestured to Juliet to serve the Doctor some refreshment before he started . " Now that we are all gathered here , I will like to first Thank you again for excepting this invitation for an Alliance " .
" l have recently been in contact with Bennett coven and came to an Alliance with them that the two if us will like to extend to you " . Elijah started Grandly .
Joshua furrowed his brows and asked cautiously . " No news of such an Alliance had made its way to me " .
" we are Keeping it under warp for now and would prefer to do the same to any alliance that will be between us " . Elijah explained and the four nodded in understanding .
" what are the terms if this alliance ? " . Joshua asked with interest .
" first we provide aid to each other in any capacity we can as long as it doesn't interference with our families wellbeing and interest " . Elijah proposed confidently .
" that seems reasonable and Good , will you and the Bennett's abide by this term " . Joshua asked thoughtfully .
" Definitely " . Elijah assured calmly . " second , the Bennett coven and my family will love to aid you in your quest to stop the Travelers as we speak now we already put the plan to end them in place " . Elijah continued temptingly .
Joshua and his children straightened on their seats at the mention of the Travelers , " Please elaborate ? " . Joshua demanded eagerly .
" the Travelers are a troublesome group of Witch's that want to bring down the destruction of all traditional magic for their own perverse one as a former witch and creature born from traditional magic this is a disadvantageous quest for us , we will lure the Travelers for you in one place and with the aide of my subordinates and my Brother's you can either kill them or imprison them whatever do you see fit as long as they are neutralized " . Elijah elaborated with a smile .
Joshua breathing hitched and his children shared looks of Excitement and disbelief . " you have a deal ? , when shall we start ? . shall we discuss this plan in depth " . Joshua urged him with a smile .
" Not now please , I want to discuss another matter , a sign of good Will between our family and ask for a favor from you " . Elijah shock his head and continued pensively .
Joshua nodded after a minute of contemplation and asked . " what will that be if you don't mind me asking ! " .
" Not at all " . Elijah expressed politely , before he turned to Josette . " Miss Laughlin what is your opinion of being a witch again ? , of saving your younger Siblings " .
Josette placed and looked at her shocked father in disbelieve . " I don't understand what are you suggesting Mr. Mikaelson ? " .
" I have in my position one of my mother unlinking spells that can be used to unlink the prison world that held your twin brother malakai and with severing of the world from the ascendant the world will collapse and be destroyed " . Elijah proposed gently .
" But that will Kill him " . Josette cried out in fear and outrage .
He respect the compassion and familial love Josette still held for her brother even though he is a sociopath who had killed his younger siblings , a crime that not even they had fallen too .
" I understand your apprehension and discomfort with the idea but I have information from trusted source that if Malakai where to ever be free he will kill you and your younger Siblings as will as the entire coven only one twins would be saved by the efforts of the coven " . Elijah cautioned the four Parker who went pale with shock and fear Olivia was holding into her father arm fearfully looking lost and confused like her twin and he detected that the two youngest Parker's have no idea who is Malakai is or his crimes .
" please I'm not in anyway or form pressing you . this is your decision you can discuss it as a family " . Elijah assured them before he continued .
" I have learned that your coven are cursed to produce twins that will then fight in a ritual called the Merge where one will absorb the other living essence , my second good will will be to provide with away to save your twins and complete the merge with no losses " . Elijah stated with a smile that turned into an amused one at the four Parker's flabbergasted and disbelieving expressions .
" do you even understand what you are talking about , we have tried for two thousands years to find a solution consulted with countless formidable warlocks and Witch's through the ages but we found nothing and you a stranger is claiming to have a miracle salvation for our eternal Dilemma " . Luke gaped for the first time with fury and pain in his tone and expression .
" yes " . Elijah answered simply with a shrug .
" But How ? " . Josette and Olivia pleaded curiously .
" the solution is both simple and elegant before the Merge we can feed the twins a magical potion that will resurrect any of them if they die , once the Ritual ends they will both wake up alive one of them died and came back fulfilling the merge recruitment " . Elijah explained with a smile he was impressed with Hope ingenuity and her brilliance .
Her plan was simple and effective and she worked what she has as limited as she did in Hers and her friends favour , his niece has obviously inherited her father brilliance and Mastermind and she used it in the best way to help and protect her friends he was filled with both affection and pride but Hope was young and her plan can be improved upon to minimize the risks and get optimum results and he did just that with offering the Witch's the same mercy he extended to Miss Gilbert and intended to offer to Katerina .
The four stared between him and each others with dumbfounded expressions before Joshua asked Hopefully . " can you grants that this will work with no harm to my children or my coven " .
" a hundred percent , as matter of fact I can , as their is still over a year to the Merge my Witch's can prepare the potion you can test it before you use it " .
" oh , yes please " . Olivia pleaded tearfully .
" liv " . Luke questioned in disbelieve .
" Olivia " . Joshua reprimanded Harshly .
Olivia Glared at the two . " I don't want fie Dad , or to kill you Luke I know that you are Willing to do anything for me to live . but Luke he has a way for us to live . I have been living in fear for fifteen years . please ... Let us try it first " . Olivia pegged them tearfully with vulnerable and sad expression .
" we won't lose anything if we try it . it is a sign of good will dad , and if it can save them ... If Luke and liv can live it is worth the try and any favour " . Josette pleaded with her father .
Joshua sighed and nodded at him . " fine , we thank you for this boon if it works we will be indebted to you " .
" please I'm happy with just helping , one day I may need you to cloak my family and when that day come I want you to do it because we ate good friends and beneficial allies then you won't be indebted to us " . Elijah said with a genuine smile , he was happy to help save this two young and good young man and woman and if this coven can aid in protecting Hope and his family then he would be happy to aid them further .
He stood up and gestured for his guests to follow . " why don't we discuss this further in the Dinning room , my staff has prepared a scrumptious lunch for us . if you please " . he made his way to the Dinning room with the parkers at his heels , today meeting promised to be both long and fruitful .
Davina pov :
Davina looked up from her place in the floor in the middle of salt circle with two candles infront of her Necklace dangling from her fingers between the two candles to Marcel who stormed into the Room with a smile .
" Good news , Little D . I'm moving you out this pile of dust " . Marcel announced happily .
" Are you serious ? When ? " . Davina asked him with Happiness and anticipation , finally she can leave this prison .
" Davina , don't drop the Necklace " . Kol warned her coldly , his Glare at Marcel was both hateful and murderous .
" Tonight . I just need to lock in the arrangements " . Marcel answered before his eyes picked on the Ritual she was doing and he asked her curiously . " by the way what are you doing ? " .
" I'm Creating a Talisman to help me control and channel my powers more easily " . Davina answered with no hesitation .
" anything that helps you " . Marcel dismissed with a shrug before he smiled at her and ordered . " Pack up, 'kay? Only what you wanna take. I'll buy ya anything else you need " .
" okay " . Davina agreed with feigned Excitement once she saw Kol face blanch .
Marcel left with a nod and she turned to Kol and asked worriedly . " what's Wrong ? " .
" is he drooling mad , that simpleton want to take you away from new Orleans , you who is an ancestor witch the moment you step Out of this city you are nothing but Human with no connection with the Ancestors this excess power thrumming thorough your Veins will kill you " . Kol raged as he packed around the Attic , she Gasped at his words .
" then I can't leave ! " . she stated sadly , everyday she thought about leaving this city and everything in it and the Witch's to some other place anywhere will be fine as long as she never see the quarter Witch's again , but that is an impossible dream .
" if you want to live , then no " . Kol retorted with a an eye roll .
She shrugged her shoulders and sighed . " then I won't , let us continue " .
Kol stared silently at her for s moment before he nodded and his focus returned to the Ritual .
She would have to convince Marcel to let her stay , which won't be easy , but he will relent in the end for her safety .
Hayley Pov :
Hayley sat on the seat by the window looking out at the city , but she wasn't seeing any of it her mind locked on vision .
She was standing in front of a church specifically st. Anne church , She was standing on the entry to the Arch her eyes on a the figure of her daughter , Hope sat on one of the steps outside the church in an ivory shirt jacket , black leather leggings and tan combat boots her Hair in a Unicorn horn braid , she held into her crescent-moon Necklace and traced it calmly .
Hayley sat beside her her eyes on her Beautiful child she missed Hope she missed watching over her , she worry over her every second of everyday but she has the chance to protect her daughter from anyone and everyone she sighed and tried to touch her cheek but her hand passed her and hope didn't notice .
" Hey Mom , i... Is it weird that I only thought of coming here to talk to you . I mean we didn't spent a lot of time here Together " . Hope started with sad melancholic tone her eyes deep and heavy with emotions .
" No we didn't " . Hayley agreed with a sad Chuckle .
" it's not our Home nor is it the Bayou where we used to play . but I just felt like this would be more appropriate , I miss you , things have been very hectic what with monsters and a crazy necromancer out for my life and the life of everyone I know . I needed to talk to someone I know that I could have talked with Alaric Josie Raf or Landon hell even Lizzie would have listened to me if I went to her but i just wanted you " . Hope continued with a sigh .
" I'm always here Baby anytime , Talk to me , tell me what is troubling you ! " . Hayley asked worriedly , even though Hope can't hear her or see her to know she is their with her she would always listen .
" It make me feel a little bit ungrateful and like a bad friend but mom I really missed you ... It have been four years since you and dad died but I missed you every second of everyday . something is Really wrong with me I have Landon my friends aunt Freya and uncle Kol but I still feel so Lonely . I keep thinking that it's just a matter of time that the pain and Guilt would Ebb away that I won't feel that jagged pain in my heart everytime I think of you that time heal everything to think of Happy Memories but it's so Hard , why is it so hard to let go ? , to move on ? Emma keep going on me for not grieving but she didn't understand I did I still do " . Hope shouted angrily her eyes close .
" oh sweetheart " . Hayley whispered tearfully feeling pain for her daughter suffering she wished to hold her in her arms to never let her go to take on her burden and her pain for her to feel nothing but happiness and love .
" I... For fifteen years it has Been you and me . you and dad are the one who loved me the most no one in the world would love me for just being me except you too , you saw me at my worst you forgive my mistakes and loved me even though it's my fault you both died that uncle Elijah died . I have been fighting Malivore for two years it's tiring and sometimes I just want to pack my things and leave that crazy town and see the world like you and dad want " . Hope sighed wistfully .
Then she should do just that , she is not obliged to fight Malivore let his creators deal with him her daughter existence shouldn't be controlled by the need to destroy him , Hope should live her life fall in love get married or not have children and be happy , she and Klaus didn't sacrifice everything fought against all their foes to see their daughter die to take down some monster .
hope sighed again but this time a smile was on her lips . " You know it's your fault you raised me to be selfless and be as Good as I can be so here I'm trapped in that stupid supernatural hellhole . ... Look after Dad for me okay don't leave him alone and tell uncle Elijah that he better stay with dad until I came or I will hunt him in the otherside , but most of all don't worry about me be Happy and find peace " . tears filled her eyes but she tried to smile anyway .
" I will be fine , You know me you raised me to be strong to be a fighter to be a Queen I will destroy Malivore and go on to live my live the way we wanted I will make you both proud I still need to do right by dad name . so don't worry okay . I love you both more than the days and nights deeper than the ocean and the skies I will always love you " . Hope finished tearfully as sobs left her mouth and she let her self cry for the first time in so long .
Hayley sat beside her crying , her heart filled with pain and worry for Hope , this the Hope who will wait her if she failed she will be alone shouldering the weight of the world . she can't fail her she can't die , Klaus can't die they need to protect hope from many monster's , Hope need a childhood a real one she won't leave her alone to endanger herself at every opportunity , her daughter need her Now and in the future .
She felt her Body shake and a voice at the end if a tunnel calling her name she fluttered her eyes to see Finn and Rebekah kneeling beside her Both were calling her Name worriedly , and Rebekah's hands were on her shoulders shaking her .
" Hayley " . Rebekah sighed with Relief .
" Hayley , What's wrong ? " . Finn asked her with a worried frown .
She blinked her eyes trying to adjust to the light of the late afternoon , she smiled a sad excuse of a smile at the two . " I'm fine " . Her voice croaked . she coughed and tried again . " nothing is wrong , why are you here ? " . she asked to change the topic .
" how can you be fine , Hayley you are crying " . Rebekah reproached with a frown her fingers brushing her cheeks .
She looked at the tears on Rebekah's fingers in bewilderment before she sighed and shock her head . "I fell a sleep without knowing it's just a dream , a sad dream " . she assured the two with a more confident smile .
" are you sure ? " . Finn asked with an understanding smile .
" I'm " . Hayley answered with as much confidence as she can muster . " so when is lunch ? " . Hayley asked their two with a cheery tone .
The two siblings exchanged a Look but Rebekah answered her with a smile . " Ain an hour or two , we will go with an early dinner and head out to the Bayou , Nik will be here soon . Sophie is in the Bathroom she will leave soon so I suggest you change for the Ritual " . Rebekah informed her before she stood up with Finn .
" okay I will be down in a few " . Hayley nodded and went to the Bathroom to avoid the two Mikaelson worried and inquisitive Gaze's .
She leaned in the sink and exhaled deeply she looked into her pale face and bloodshot eyes no wonder Rebekah and Finn were so worried she looked terrible . she washed her face with cold water yo reduce the swelling and went out to get a change in clothes .
She took out a ivory chiffon A-line maxi dress with square neckline , full transparent lantern sleeves it pooled around calf in a fluttering style and paired it with white white scalloped leather flats .
She brushed her hair and went down the stairs to see Rebekah and Ginn waiting for her in the garden Rebekah had changed into a Baby blue Cami white jeans and Denim jacket and combat boots the two smiled at her Rebekah beamed as she ushered her into a seat .
" Hayley you look wonderful like a fairy princess " . Rebekah complemented with glee as she took her phone out and snapped a picture .
" you do look beautiful Hayley " . Finn complemented with a smile .
" I need to , I'm not only meeting my ancestors but other powerful Witch's and wolves I need to leave an impression , and white is a good color for any ritual " . Hayley answered the two with a smile feeling a little better at the two sincere complement .
" you would leave a great impression sweetheart , you look like a Queen " . Klaus complemented as he entered the Compound with a smile his eyes examining her from head to toe .
" I do believe I'm , Noble bloodline and all " . Hayley returned with a smile Klaus has rarely complemented her looks but whenever he did it left her feeling truly beautiful and filled her with confidence . " do you think they will tell me who I really am or who my parents are ? " . Hayley asked rhetorically .
" maybe , who know with them " . Rebekah answered with a shrug .
" Sophie Deveraux have left to participate in the burial of the Witch's , we can leave as soon we are finished with dinner , Marcel think that I'm out in the Bayou waiting for him to Return " . Klaus announced with a smirk .
" poor Marcel " . Hayley sighed with a Head shake . " you know one day the two of you will wake up to the fact that you two mean more to each other than this city , I just hope it will be soon " . Hayley said Hopefully .
" we are Enemies Hayley , Marcellus had betrayed me . soon I will return back all that he had robbed from me " . Klaus denied with angry Growl .
" you didn't deny that you still care for him , he was your son . you raised him and you were Together for a century . you won't be mad at him forever " . Hayley said knowingly , she confidant of that fact .
" we will see " . Klaus dismissed with an eye roll again not denying her statement .
Finn smiled at the two of them and cut in . " why don't we continue this conversation over dinner , shall we children " .
" aw , Finn . it was just getting fun " . Rebekah pouted and pocketed her phone that she used to record the two .
The four if them gathered at the Table for Dinner and Rebekah asked her again . " so we are meeting your ancestors the first Werewolves , I never saw ancient magic at work . I only heared about it from Kol and mother " .
" yeah it's quite different than the magic we see all the time and very powerful " . Hayley answered her with a thoughtful him . " i don't know how to explain it , I guess you will just have to see for yourself " .
Rebekah Nodded and Klaus turned to Finn who was standing by the newly fixed portraits on the wall examining the drawn battles in one of the Portraits .
" are you fine with your preparation ? " . Klaus asked his brother curiously .
" everything is ready once the moon is up in the sky we can start " . Finn answered with nod and a nervous hair ruffle .
" it will work , you researched the spell yourself Kol agreed , a side of mother you are the mist knowledgeable individuals on magic that I have ever seen in my long existence . this will work " . Klaus encouraged firmly with a small smile on his lips .
Finn returned it with a firm nod . " you are right , it will work , and I shall be succeed in contacting our sister " .
Klaus smiled and the three of them made their way to Klaus BMW , Klaus drove to the Bayou he left his car in an obstructed road filled with foliage . he picked Hayley up and speed of in the direction of the clearing with her instructions Rebekah closely following them .
Ten minutes later they arrived at the clearing to unbelievable sight , the clearing was filled with thousands of spirits of Witch's and Werewolves each group standing a distance from the other intermingling or talking between themselves .
Klaus halted his steps in surprise she felt this grip tightened around her and she understood his concern , Rebekah stood beside them with an equally shocked and nervous expression .
" Bloody hell , this ... This is " . Rebekah started with shock .
" a tad bit intimidating , yeah , it is " . Hayley completed for her .
" Are you sure about this Hayley ? " . Klaus looked down at her with worry and asked her cautiously .
" it's the best course of action Klaus , it will protect Hope " . Hayley answered firmly with no fear or hesitation , she gestured for him to let her down and he did reluctantly .
She step into the clearing with her chin held high Klaus and Rebekah on each side if her and every eyes were on them , Klaus and Rebekah has cold and arrogant cautiousness oozing from them and she tried not to fall behind , whispered broke off the second's they took another steps and Hayley ignored everyone as she walked confidently into the heart of the clearing where Halona Wahali Nahele Dasan and five others standing around a raised Dais
Where a bed off flowers was prepared with Ritual tools beside it .
" Greetings Hayley , Klaus and Rebekah Mikaelson , thank you for accepting our offer " . Dasan stepped in with the support of Wahali .
" Hello " . Klaus greeted calmly his gaze calculating as it roamed around the clearing he was standing too close to Hayley they if he took a step closer he will mold with her .
" my Name is Dasan I'm one of the past chief's for what you call now the Crescent moon pack " . Dasan introduced amiably . " This Wahali my grandson in law and the chief after me " . he gestured to Wahali who was supporting him , Wahali nodded at them respectively and the three returned it .
He then gestured to Halona who was dressed in Royal blue long dress who stepped up yo stand beside Wahali who smiled tenderly down at her . " and this is Halona my Granddaughter the first inflected with the curse " .
He gestured at Nahele who smiled kindly at the three of them . " this is Nahele , he is the head priest of our tribe and a very powerful witch " .
" we four will represent Hayley's blood family " . Dasan announced .
Before he gestured to the four people on the otherside of them .
The first one in the Right was a middle age lady with auburn hair and chocolate brown eyes her skin was pale and she was slightly plump she has maternal but strong aura around her she reminded Hayley of the European warrior's of old . she was dressed in deep royal blue dress she couldn't place the style of but it looked Elegant and regal .
" this lady is Mr's Alvilde she is your paternal grandmother and the Mother of your Mother Esther " . Dasan introduced with a smile .
Klaus and Rebekah Gasped in shock as they looked at the kindly smiling woman with wonder and curiosity .
" Hello my dears " . Alvilde spoke in a heavily accented English but she didn't make any mistake her voice was soft and sweet but still held a hint of power to it .
Alvilde stepped towards the two and stood infront of the three of them . " You are Niklaus my third Grandson , I heard you took after my Eirik your Grandfather he was a warrior cunning and Ruthless but a devoted man " . she spoke gently with a smile at the stunned Klaus she brushed a ghostly smile to his forehead and then moved to stand infront of the wide eyed Rebekah , Hayley watched her with interest .
" You are Rebekah my second granddaughter , you ...you took after your Grandfather and mother in your look thankfully you didn't inherit Esther personality " . she smiled icily at Esther mention and a flash of Ruthlessness flashed in her eyes before she calmed down with a sigh .
" your mother have Been avoiding me and her father for a thousand years probably already aware of what is awaiting her once we got our hand on her " . she complained with a smile , she shared a look with Klaus and Rebekah who looked amused and startled at their Grandmother personality .
" Thank you " . Rebekah smiled politely warming a little to her Grandmother . the woman beamed at her and kissed her forehead too . before she moved to stand beside her .
Klaus stepped closure to her looming protectively over her and Rebekah eyeing Alvilde warily .
" you must be Hayley , my Greet granddaughter mother " . Alvilde greeted with a smile . " I'm Glad to meet you , I hope for an easy birth and a Happy live for all of you " . Alvilde wished sincerely .
Hayley smiled at her liking the woman instantly maybe because she shared in her granddaughters personality . " Thank you , and I'm Glad to meet you too . thanks for doing this for us " .
Alvilde beamed at her . " Don't thank me dear child , I should be the one to thank you . you have brought Hope for us after a thousand years . our line will continue our heritage would not be lost " . Alvilde thanked her with happiness and Gratitude shining in her eyes .
" My line is a very ancient and powerful me and my Husband gave been descendent of a thousands years of power and Magic we thought all was lost when Esther cursed our Grandchildren but we finally had Hope and Freya to Keep our line going " . Alvilde elaported with a sad smile as she glanced at Klaus and Rebekah .
" what are you planning for Esther ? " . Klaus asked her curiously a glint in his eyes .
" Let's discuss that later , our Family are all here to meet you " . Alvilde suggested With a Devious smile before she turned and gestured to an elder man beside her .
The man wore the same style of clothes as Wahali but his were Black he has white hair and dark Blue eyes he aged gracefully and a hint of handsomeness could still be seen in his features he smiled as he walked towards them .
" My name is Aranck , I'm your ancestor " . he spoke to Klaus who straightened up a MD examined the man more intently .
" I'm the progenitor of the poldark Bloodline from which you descend " . Aranck announced Calmly as he locked eyes with Klaus neither looking away , she know that they are locked in a battle of will for dominance .
Aranck smirked and stepped back he Nodded respectively at Rebekah and Hayley who smiled politely back , Rebekah leaned over and whispered . " what was that ? , that staring competition ? " . she asked curiously .
" it's a show of Dominance , it's a male thing " . Hayley whispered back with a shrug .
Rebekah nodded in understand her mouth curved up in a slight smirk . " fifteen centuries and men are still the same , joy " .
Aranck stepped back and another man came behind him with a smile and both Hayley and Klaus stepped back at the sight of him Hayley's head snapped to Klaus direction who turned sickly pale and his breath hitched in his chest she feared that he would have a shock or heartfailer for a second until her senses returned back and she Sighed In relief , Rebekah looked between the three of them with confusion and apprehension .
" you ..." . Klaus Breathed in disbelieve , and the man smiled softly . " Hello , Niklaus , How have you been ... my son ? " . the man greeted with a nod .
Klaus Breathed out and stuttered . " F ... Father !? " .
" Father !? " . Rebekah parroted with disbelieve . she looked at her brother fearfully .
Ansel smiled at His son and pulled him in a hug , Klaus stiffened and his eyes widened . " finally , it took a thousand but I finally got to to see and talk to you " . Ansel pulled back and smiled as he took Klaus shoulders and examined him .
" yes , over a thousand years of stalking him and this all that you say to him father " . A woman interrupted from behind him , she looked a little younger than Klaus with a Red hair and Blue eyes and athletic build she was the only one dressed in something modern a blue midi dress .
" Ostara , please don't embarrass me infront of your brother you did promise my love " . Ansel reprimanded with a smile .
" and miss the chance to tell him about the years you spent following him form the otherside and speaking with him even though he can't hear , not even if you paid me father " . Ostara said with an eye roll before she moved to stand infront of the shocked Klaus and closed his open mouth with a smirk .
" hello brother , it's nice to finally meet my supposedly older brother " . Ostara greeted mischievously .
" He is older than you by seven months Tara " . Ansel Reminded patiently .
" see Sven months we are born on the same year , why do you get frustrated when I call him my twin ? " . Ostara asked with a pout .
Ansel sighed and looked at Klaus with a teasing smile . " you are the most sensible of my five children which should say something , you have three others like her who would be here any second " .
With that Ansel gaze moved to Rebekah and he smiled at her with fondness . " Rebekah , I have wanted to see you and Elijah for a long time , to thank you personally for always standing by Niklaus even if he didn't deserve it most of the time " .
Rebekah blushed but smiled at her Brother biological father her eyes filled with wonder . " h... Hello , he is my brother I may hate him half the time but he does make up for it " . Rebekah shrugged with Embracement .
" still thank you , please relay my gratitude to your older brothers " . Ansel insisted with a humorous smile .
Ostara's eyes zeroed on Rebekah and she glided to her with a smile , " hello you are Nik sister , I'm Ostara you can call me Tara " . Ostara introduced cheerfully .
Rebekah smiled at her politely obviously uncomfortable with being labeled as Nik sister by his paternal sister , she know How close Rebekah and Klaus were , Klaus spoil and dote on Rebekah more than all her two older brothers combined he was biased to his sister and Rebekah loved him the most she may have found the idea of an older sister acceptable and may have looked forward to meeting Freya but she never thought of Klaus paternal siblings , in her mind they were Klaus only family .
" I'm Rebekah " . Rebekah replied with a nice smile and she shoot Klaus and Hayley a wide eyed look .
Hayley smiled in amusement and diverted the Redhead attention . " Hi " . she greeted with a hand wave .
Ostara's eyes sparkled as she looked at her . " You must be An... Hayley ... Hayley Right , My future Niece mother . Nice to meet you " . Ostara said with a smile that didn't filter even when she fixed her mistake .
" Nice to meet you both " . Hayley replied with a smile to the two .
" It's an Honour to meet you miss Marshall " . Ansel nodded with equal respect .
Hayley smiled guessing that Ansel already know her identity and is treating her as the labonair lost princess . " The Honour is all mine , I'm glad to finally meet Klaus father . I have a list of things I would love to go over with you " . Hayley returned the respectful nod .
Klaus who finally snapped from his stupor asked her a head tilt . " what list are you speaking of Hayley ? " .
" you know Random question here and their , simple things like how to make a good alpha of you " . Hayley answered with a smirk .
Rebekah and Ostara giggled and Klaus rises his brow at her . " I will have you know that I'm an outstanding Alpha , in fact I don't need any guidance " . Klaus returned with an eye roll .
Ansel sighed and looked at her imploringly . " I'm leaving him too you , please he has the potential for greatness make a worthy king of him " . he pleaded sincerely .
Klaus and Rebekah looked at Ansel with complicated expressions especially Klaus who looked both proud and scared at his father words .
Hayley shrugged but nodded seriously at the man anyway . " I was already planning too , and you are Right he does have the potential , Between the two of us we can still make a worthy Wolf out of him " .
Ansel smiled at his son and patted his shoulder and said confidently . " I expect great things from you Niklaus , you are my firstborn my Heir I'm leaving our pack in your hand and I know you won't let me down " .
" yes Nik , you have a lot to live up too , Father has been going on and on about your charisma and astute mind being wasted over the centuries on petty things . do something so he will stop or change his tune " . Ostara encouraged with a smile at Klaus and an eye roll at her Brother .
" and that why young lady you would have never made a good Alpha you never take anything seriously " . Ansel stated with a Glare .
" that why you had Nik , Gemma and Zander to choose from . at least now they won't have to see them fight to death for the alpha's Right " . Ostara brushed off nonchalantly .
Ansel looked at her and Klaus and said painfully . " I prey for your mental wellbeing that your child doesn't take after her paternal aunts and uncles . not my side at least " .
Klaus mouth twitched into a smile as he turned to his younger sister and asked with a raised brow . " Twin ? " .
Ostara's face lit up and she lunched a tale of how she had convinced nearly everyone she meet that she had a lost twin brother out there even their younger siblings .
" and one day I entered our Cottage and saw Gemma Zander and Isabella gathered around a map of the village's nearby planning How to Save you from the clutch's of the evil monster who Kidnapped you , Gamma was Eight Zander seven and Isabella four . I was shocked and didn't know what to do they even stole some weapons from uncle J who was so mad , mother was even more Mad she punished me to do all the choruses that summer ... Which is completely unfair " . Ostara retold animatedly .
By the end She Klaus and Rebekah were laughing out loud especially once she went on to describe how the then three children nearly succeed in sneaking out of the village at The dead of the night until Isabella fell and hurt her hand and screamed the entire village awake .
" that how our silly younger siblings nearly got you , but since that incident no one could leave the village easily ever again " . Ostara complained to Klaus .
Dasan and Wahali accompanied by Alvilde who were speaking Together with Aranck made their way to them .
" Forgive us for cutting on your Reunion , I assure you that you would have time for this later , but the Moon is in its place and the time is almost here we need to start Now " . Alvilde informed them with an apologetic smile .
Ansel smiled and nodded at her as he gestured for his Two children and Rebekah to step beside him , Klaus and Rebekah Hesitated for a second and looked at her worriedly Hayley smiled at the two Reassuringly and followed Nahele and Alvilde to the dais and laid in the flowers bed .
She laid down in the flowers Relaxing as their smells surrounded her , she loved their smell .
Nahele stood by her right side as he spoke to the gathering spirits .
" Sisters and Brother's who answered our plea we thank you for your Generosity for your willingness to bless our Descendent , we can start with the Blessing Ritual .
Nahele telekinetcally moved the objects with his Hands a sage a Red fiery feather and a Golden feather over Hayley's stomach as he chanted .
" Neltoca teoyohtica ... Neltoca teoyohtica " .
The feathers and sage burned a Golden hue as they passed over her womb the hue turning into a blinding light as they finally disintegrated into a tiny Starlights that fell on her womb , she tensed fearful of being burned but she wasn't the Starlights disappeared inside of her .
" Phoenix feathers , to signify Rebirth and Hope , Sage for wisdom and Fertility , A Golden Burrow feather to signify Hope and limitlessness ". Nahele informed everyone with a smile .
He then smiled and gestured for Klaus to come over and Kneel at Hayley's left side He Did with curious and guarded expression .
" the first blessing from a priest , the second blessing from parents , lay your hand over her womb " . he instructed Klaus who looked at her for permission his Expression still guarded and calm but his eyes were bright with anticipation .
She smiled and whispered . " Go a head " .
He smiled back and laid his hand carefully on her Baby Bump , Nahele turned to her and continued . " lay your hand over his my Dear " .
Hayley Nodded and put her palm over Klaus's . " Repeat after me " . Nahele ordered .
" ut matri vestrae Terra crepitu Excitus te , Patris Tui Caelum servare licet lacertis , licet in Patris frigora sol temperat , May Aviam Luna ut lumen ignis Cordis Tui , ut in Gentibus Stella via lux in proximo destination , Magno Animo Et Dolor Semper custodiat te a Multis " . Nahele started while he waved a piece of cedar over her Womb , and the two repeated after him her Knowledge on Latin is limited and aside from handful words here and there she didn't understand much , but Klaus seemed to understand and the small smile he was sporting assured her that they weren't cursing Hope unknowingly .
A worm feeling seeped from her womb to Hers and Klaus Hand and as the Cedar Disintegrated into tiny Lights that fell in her hand warming it as it seeped from her hand to Klaus's and then to her Womb , Klaus Hand twitched in her Hand in he gasped his eyes widening he looked up at Nahele questionly . " What is this ? " .
" did you feel something ? , son of Ansel " . Nahele asked knowingly .
Klaus gulped before he Answered calmly . " A fluttering sensation , a small wormth like its answering to the blessing " . he Answered with a hint of bewilderment in his tone .
Nahele answered with a pleased Nod . " that is your child , its a Good sign that she is Healthy and her connection to you to us is Already there , she is old enough to make tiny movements " .
Hayley happy Beam was only outmatched by Klaus's who caressed her Womb reverently .
Nahele gestured for Klaus to move to stand by her head . he then addressed their family . " Rebekah stand by your Grandmother Right " . Rebekah did as he instructed her Face lit with anticipation as her gaze shifted from her and Klaus , " Ostara stand at your father left , Ansel to Aranck left , Halona Wahali Dasan after them " .
The Nine formed a circle around her and the Eight Hold Hand's . Nahele repeated seriously . " Sed Et Gloriamur in Donum Vitae quae Data Est Nobis , Spirituum Et Respice in Hac Ratione Est Mater Amoris Et Ejus Nascentium Filius , vitae Beatitudinem Eosque Deducat infundas , Crescere in Sapientia aetate et gratia misericordia sint puero hoc " .
The eight Repeated Together before they stopped at Nahele satisfied Nod . Halona smiled at her and patted her check before she get down from the Dais .
" Sit up my child " . Nahele ordered and she sat up with Klaus insistent support .
" Sit beside her " . Nahele ordered Klaus , he sat by her side .
" now you will Receive the blessing of the Gathered spirits , who ever want to give his Blessing to the mother and child pick a flower and Drop it in her dress " . Nahele explained for everyone .
Alvilde passed Rebekah an orchid and pushed her infront of Hayley . " Go a Head child , you are her aunt " . Alvilde ordered warmly .
Rebekah Nodded and dropped the orchid on Her lap , " I pry she grow up like her mother for our sake " . Rebekah giggled teasingly at Klaus who rolled his eyes but smiled at her . " that you have an easy delivery and for you both to be always Happy and save " . she stated sincerely .
Hayley beamed at her Thankfully . " Thank you , Bekah " .
" Yes , thank you sister " . Klaus thanked her sincerely .
Ostara danced with a flower in her hand she held it up for them to see before she dropped it in her lap . " this is Aster it represent Love and Daintiness , I pry for my niece to grow up surrounded with love and care like a princess " .
" Thank you " . Hayley and Klaus thanked her with a smile .
Halona presented a white Carnation for the two before she dropped it in her lap . " white Carnation it represent Innocence, pure love, women's good luck and gift . I pry she experience them all " . Halona said with a smile .
Alvilde smiled at the two and dropped a white Rose as she spoke . " white Rose , I hope she grow up to resemble them . to be pure of heart , full of Reverence and symbolise the new beginning that her existence brought to us " .
Hayley lost track of how many flowers were dropped in her dress and the number of Witch's who blessed her after the fourth flowers , flowers were now forming a small hill around her and Klaus .
She smiled and thanked every single one of them as sincerely as she could , she Marveled at the number of Witch's and warlock's who attended to bless her Hope and her heart lightened each blessing each flower mean a promise and one less enemy she smiled toward Klaus who had a small smile as he thanked a witch graciously , he turned towards her probably noticing her gaze he raised his brow inquisitively she shock her head and smiled deeper at him before turning back to see a witch with chocolate skin dark hair and eyes she smiled at Klaus and Rebekah and Greeted them lovingly . " Heil ok sael my Darling's " .
Rebekah let out a wounded sob and Klaus stood up with stricken face as he stepped toward the witch and breathed out longingly . " Ayana " .
" you don't know how relieved I'm to see and speak with you again my children , i missed you so much " . the witch Ayana sobbed , and Hayley watched them shocked at the identity of the witch . she had heared of Ayana Bennett from the Mikaelson she was Esther closest friend and the Mikaelson surrogate mother .
Rebekah Rushed to the witch with a sob . " Ayana , I missed you so much " .
" So did I my Love , I watched over you and as angry and disappointed by your actions as I'm , I'm Happy for you Niklaus I have no doubt that you will be a wonderful father you will Do right by her " . Ayana spoke with the two with a tearful smile as her hands stroked the two cheeks lovingly .
Klaus breath hitched his eyes teared up but he blinked them away and smiled at her sadly . " I will do my best " .
" I know you will " . Ayana nodded confidently .
She turned to Hayley with a beaming smile . " You must be Hayley , I had looked forward to meeting you for a long time , my name is Ayana I helped raise this Brethren's " . Ayana Greeted her cheerfully .
Hayley gathered her bearings and smiled Graciously at the old witch . " Glad to meet you Ayana my Name is Hayley " .
The witch dropped a sunflower at her feet's and wished gently . " Sunflower , for all of you to find happiness and Joy " .
" Thank you " . The three thanked her sincerely . Ayana's kissed Klaus cheek before she too Rebekah to the side so the two can talk .
After that it was a strong witch after witch , it seems endless she sat there for hours her back was killing her and she had to fight sleep and tiredness .
At least the Witch's were dwindling only their family and few others were left and the down was breaking , she fought a yawn for the umpteenth time and blinked her eyes tiredly as she watched Nahele Ayana and Alvilde speak with the Mikaelsons .
Klaus was standing beside his father the two were talking with each other for hours now and from the lightness she can Trace in Klaus eyes and bearing it had went will and he had finally some satisfying answers .
" You can take Hayley back home , make sure she Rest we will see again in Thirteen weeks it won't be this crowded next time only us " . Nahele said with a smile .
" look after her will , or god help me I will flag your behinds " . Alvilde ordered seriously .
" we will , grandmother " . Rebekah promised with a laugh .
Klaus smiled nodded at his father who nodded back then smiled at Ostara Ayana and Alvilde and bid them goodbye .
He made his way to her and kneeled beside her , " How are we Little wolf ? " . He asked gently as his thumb caressed her cheek .
" good , tired but Good " . She Answered with yawn .
Klaus smiled and picked her up easily he adjusted her so she can lay comfortably and rest her head on his chest . " let's go Home , you need to sleep " . he stated and Nodded to the spirits .
She smiled tiredly and said a genuine . " Thank you " . before she let her eyes drop .
