Finn Pov :
Finn stood on the middle of a Circle of Salt enclosed in candles and additional symbols within ,Amanda Had used a Bowl of water to Reflect the Moon and act as power anchor . The courtyard was eliminated with candles and Fairy lights as Klaus informed him .
Amanda looked at him for permission at his nod she started chanting . " Pontem Praesidio . Anchora Immortalibus . Per menta Mi heava cor anmina . Pontem Praesidio . Anchora Immortalibus " .
Finn felt the spell take effect and a few seconds later He was standing in a field a Familiar one he Recognized as the Field behind their Property in Norway , it was part of the vast land his Father owned he walked toward the stone two storey House he lived in when he was a young child .
He could see the smoke coming from the chimney and he fastened his pace with a smile , the spell has succeeded this must be Freya's mindscape . he smiled as he passed the Apple tree that he and Freya used to play under and he hurried the House just as he extended his Hand to open the wooden Gate his Hand burned he took it Back and smiled at Himself in derision .
He should have expected this , Freya would not allow anyone into the sanctuary of her Mind , he was lucky to get this close without her attacking him .
He looked at the House and called calmly . "Freya Mikaelson , come out and talk to me " .
The Door flow open and a blonde woman in Grey cotton dress and lazy braid walked out with confident strides and an amused glint in her Blue green eyes .
" you are a vampire ! , How did you pass my mental Defenses ? " . Freya asked curiously .
" I had a witch channel the moon , use one of Esther spells , the Blood of your sister Rebekah for connection it was enough to break through your defenses . it took me a month of Research and three failed attempt before I succeeded " . Finn explained with a smile .
Freya's eyes glinted at the Mention of Rebekah's Name . " Who are you ? , You are not a normal vampire to get your hand on Esther Grimoire and Rebekah's blood . What do you want ? " . Freya demanded .
" you didn't recognise me " . Finn trailed in disappointment .
Freya's raised her brow and tilted her head in intrigue . " Should I !? " .
" seeing as I'm was the closest person in the world to you even before you were born , we shared a womb came to the world Together you're a part of me as much as I'm of you " . Finn stated with a sad smile .
Freya stepped closure until she reached the Gates her eyes Roaming over his face in disbelieve and equal yearning . " you can't be , you are not him " . Freya denied painfully then furiously .
Finn smiled in understanding and gestured at the gate she was leaning on . " Remember when we were four we enjoyed hanging on the Gate while the other swing it , you fell once and lost a tooth and scratched your chin father was furious he sent us to sleep with no Dinner , Mother sneaked us Bread and cheese so we won't sleep hungry " . Finn reminisced .
Then their mother was young loving and kind free of Guilt and self-hatred , and even though father had loved them spoiled them and preferred Freya his lively firstborn he was stern with them but never cruel as he was with Niklaus and sometimes Finn , their mother never spoke in Niklaus defense and never sneaked him food or allowed them too when he had to sleep Hungry countless time even as child younger than them .
Finn sighed sadly he doesn't want to hate his parents it wasn't in his nature he was raised to be an obedient and dependable son , but a part of him a deeply buried part is furious with them with himself that loathed them and himself for the cruelty that they befall Niklaus a defenseless innocent child and their effort to ostracize him from them and when it didn't work they punished him harder when they Helped him soon they learned to not help him secretly or not to not aggravate his punishment .
Elijah was the most guilt reddened being the closest to Niklaus his secret keeper and best friend the two had four years between them , Niklaus was always the most important person in Elijah's live just as Freya was to him .
" Fenrir " . Freya whispered with wet smile .
" Heil OK sael , sister " . Finn greeted back.
The gate flow open and in a second Freya was in his arms sobbing and wailing , he smiled and hugged her tightly to him it wasn't the same as in the physical world would have been but still it's comforting
" I waited for you for father to come for me you never came , you never came " . She told him painfully .
" we thought you were dead , we believed mother words , if we known ...but I'm here . We are here for you " . Finn explained sadly.
Freya raised her head from his chest and asked him childishly . " You and father ? '" .
He smiled pitingly at her he payed her hair lovingly . " no, our siblings and I are here to get you back . To kill Dahlia and free you " .
Freya's eyes widened in fear and her fingers dug in his chest . " no... No , don't show yourself before her, you need to flee as far away from her as you can get , she is not mother Fenrir she is a monster a powerful monster " . She demanded in panic .
Finn smiled confidently at her and assured her. " We are the Real Monsters sister, Especially Our two younger Brothers you meet them Elijah and Niklaus " .
Freya pierced her lips in disappointment . " I did, they Weren't ... what I expected " .
Finn chuckled in amusement . " I'm confident they weren't , They once were the Honorable kind Siblings you dreamed before mother curse and Father cruelty ... Come out sister let's talk " . Finn pulled her toward the apple tree.
They sat under it Hand in Hand as Finn started their story from the moment Mikael Returned and Heared of her visit to their settling in Mystic falls Elijah's birth , mother discretion Niklaus birth their father cruelty and mother indifference of Kol Rebekah and the deceased Henrik . about Tatia and how she teared their Brothers apart about Henrik death their transition , and the curse their mother put on Niklaus about Mikael hunting them to kill Klausand if he could them too .
Freya listened silently with furious tearful eyes , He felt that she empathized with Niklaus . he doesn't know How her live with their aunt was but from Harley's limited knowledge she only suffered from emotional abuse unlike Niklaus's physical mental and emotional Abuse .
He went on to tell her about Mystic falls his and Kol death , their family move to New Orleans about Hayley and Hope .
" this child , can't be born Finn " . Freya stated with determination .
He stared at her with shock and confusion . " what do you mean? " . he Questioned very apprehensively .
" I... Know that this child is important to you to all of you but if this child is as special as you told me she will Possesse Magic , Dahlia will sense it the moment she use it, she will come for her, for all of us " . Freya insinuated worriedly .
" do you understand what you are implying Freya ? " . Finn asked her darkly , " this child is our Blood , she is Niklaus heart and soul his Hope . In a thousand years even as a Human I never saw the spark of live of light he Had when he speak of her , for the first time our tourtered Brother had let himself care want need , I won't rob him of that not after I saw the Good she brings on him " . Finn hissed passionately .
" and if Dahlia came for her , For all of You? " . Freya asked expressionlessly .
Finn smiled at her a malicious dark smile the killing intent clear in his eyes . " let her come " . He said with a Hum , his thumb rubbing her cheekbone fondly . " we are waiting for her , Once we secure our stronghold our City let her come , let them all come to their death , we will destroy them all " .
" you are overconfident , confidance is strength but overconfidence is stupidity , I didn't take any of you for stupid " . Freya bites angrily .
Finn smiled at her and chuckled . " never was that adjective used to describe us in contrast I believe we were described as too cunning manipulative and smart for our own Good " .
" family is Always and forever , we will fight die and live to protect eachothers Freya , you are our sister a part of our vow . We will protect you with our live , we will stop at nothing to free you from her " . Finn stated firmly .
" you don't know her " . Freya whispered softly .
" You do , Freya . We will free you . Trust us , Niklaus has acquired two of the ingredients to kill her , Norwegian soil (sacred earth from her homeland) , the ash of a fallen Viking (the body of her oppressors) , the last ingrident is a little tricky we need the Blood of the only person she loved " . Finn asurred with a smirk .
" my blood " . Freya's eyes widened in excitement .
Finn smiled soothingly at her and shook his head in denial . " Mother blood , it was Mother betrayal that turned her heart into a stone , we need mother to lure her out to take her by surprise " .
Freya's eyes narrowed she pierced her lips and looked like she will protest for a second before she took his words in and nodded . " you have everything you need , you can protect Hope . What do you need me for ? " . She asked sadly .
Finn pulled her to his embrace for a strong hug before he pulled away and cupped her face with a smile . " we need you because you are our sister our family , you are a part of us . Not because you are a powerful witch . because we need you to guide to stand by us and be there for us . We are Monsters Freya no one but family will understand us we need you , our siblings can't wait to see you to know you they are all excited at the prospect of another sibling even Niklaus " .finn stated confidently lovingly .
Freya smiled at him her tearful eyes filled with anticipation , " but don't say I didn't warn you Elijah can be hypocritical half the time , Kol immature and attention seeking . Rebekah filled with love Foolishly so , and Hayley is passionate and merciful for all of us . Klaus paranoid angry but loving and doting and overly protective suffocatingly so at times Literally " . Finn continued with a fond chuckle.
" you promise " . Freya asked childishly .
" in my life , in my body and soul " . Finn promised sincerely .
" then I will wait , and when we are reunited we will destroy all our enemies and I will help you and Hayley wrangling our younger siblings " . Freya promised with smile .
" I think Hayley will appreciate it , she is Ridiculously fond of you even though she never met you face to face " . Finn informed her with a smile .
" I'm curious about her too , How did our Brother lucked on that one ? " . Freya inquired with a curious smile . " she is very understanding of all of us far beyond what a few month's of visions will provide " .
" that she is , both our brothers are taken by her especially Niklaus he always around her talking or watching her he is growing fond of her and the sad thing is she is oblivious about it " . Finn said with an amused chuckle .
" she is so wrapped up about helping this or that getting you back finding her family and protecting Hope that I don't think she has the time to contemplate love and courtship " . Finn continued and Freya giggled in delight .
" send my greetings and love to our siblings for me and Hayley " . Freya ordered with a smile .
" I will now tell me about you sister , everything " . Finn ordered sternly .
Freya smile turned sad but she obliged and went on to describe how her life went from the moment Dahlia took her away .

Beside her Kol smirked devilishly . " Good work , lovely ". He complemented , she rolled her eyes at his casual use of endearment but smiled in satisfaction and pride anyway .
Just then Marcel entered with a knock on the door looking urgent and excited .
" ready D , we need to leave now " . Marcel asked urgently .
Davina pierced her lips and turned to him with a frown . " I'm not leaving " . Davina stated calmly , before she draped the Necklace around her neck .
Marcel paused in his steps and looked at her with confusion and worry . " what ? " .
Davina sighed and stepped closer to him and explained . " Marcel if I leave the city I will die " .
Marcel blanched and if possible his dark skin paled. " Davina , what do you mean ? , how taking you to savity will kill you and leaving you here won't ? " he asked her incredulously and angrily .
" I'm an ancestor witch if I leave the city my link with the ancestors weaken , and because I'm a harvest witch my powers will kill me without the ancestors link " . Davina explained guiltily . " Find the witch's first d me? " . She asked him fearfully .
Marcel rubbed his face with his palm and sighed tiredly . " No , No nothing like that I just wanted to take you to somewhere else for added protection " . Marcel assured her with a smile .
" are you sure ? " . Davina asked him worriedly .
Marcel rubbed her shoulders comfortingly and smiled down at her . " hey I kept you save didn't I , and I will continue to do so . I will increase the guards around you . Don't open the window like this again and stay put I will find away to deal with the witch's " . He instructed sternly .
" I will " . She promised him with a smile .
" Good now go to sleep or do what teenage witch's like to do when they are alone " . Marcel ordered her teasingly . " I will bring you groceries in the Morning " .
" Good night " . Davina nodded with a smile .
" Good night Little D " . Marcel greeted back with kiss to her head before he left .
She turned to The scowling Kol who turned to her and waved . " we are done for tonight darling , go and rest you will need it for tomorrow " .
" you will be here tomorrow ? " . She asked him eagerly .
Kol smiled at her with amusement . " of course , How else would we continue our lessons ? " .
" see you tomorrow then " . She dismissed him with a wave .
He smirked at her before he vanished , she moved to her closet for a change of clothes before bed .

" she is looking forward to formally meeting you and especially her future Niece and she want the Salvatore heads on a spike , actually she insist on that " . Finn didn't mess their siblings reactions and answered with a chuckle .
Nik and Kol smirked Darkly and Elijah's smile turned to indifferent one , she smiled brightly . will from Hayley's tails and Finn words it seems she and her older sister will get along splendidly .
Kol smirked at her as he teased . " watch it Beks , Freya's not even here yet and she is already taking your place as our favourite sister " .
She rolled her yes at him she was secure on the fact that no matter what she will always be their favourite sister a thousand years of shared experiences and knowing each other darkest secrets and fear's will see to that , anyWHO Nik is the Favorite of her brothers she can't begrudge them having a another favourite as long as she is Nik favorite even if Elijah was very close second .
" Davina has convinced Marcel to keep her in the city , be in your guard Nik , Marcel feathers are Ruffled he must be thinking of ways to Ride himself of us " . Kol drawled with a satisfied smile .
" Let him try " . Klaus said with a nonchalant hand wave , " and while he busy himself with finding ways to chase me off , I will sweep everything from under his feet's without him being the wiser " . he continued with a smile his eyes closed relaxedly , her brother was happy and in a good mood something he hadn't been in along time .
Just then a sleepy Hayley stumbled past them in a purple silk Robe and disheveled Hair looking like she stepped out of a photoshoot instead of bed she stumbled towards the Kitchens without registering their presence They silently followed her with their eyes until she disappeared down the Hallway out of sight she turned back to her Brothers noting Finn amused expression and Kol mischievous grin , her remaining two Brothers sat up in their seats and in seconds were in their way to the kitchen as if Hypnotized .
Rebekah looked at Finn and Kol who jumped up to Follow them with sado vouce . " I'm not missing this " .
She looked at Finn who smiled and gestured for her to follow , she entered the Kitchen to the sight of Nik sitting on one of the seats at the small Dinning Table on the Kitchen watching Hayley with clear amusement , Elijah was leaning on the door frame with the same expression Kol santured in and stood behind Klaus seat with a cheeky smile .
Hayley who was busy preparing something to eat , oh god was that vanilla ice cream on a toast she noted with Horror . that was reflected on Elijah's face as he hurried to take the plate from her hands .
Hayley blinked in shock before she looked at them with bewilderment . " WO , were did you people come from ? " .
Elijah smiled at her and greeted casually . " Good Morning , we followed you here " .
Hayley sighed and rolled her eyes . " well welcome back , nice to see you again , could you please return my breakfast back to me ? " . she demanded with a smile .
Rebekah gaped in shock Breakfast , is Hayley really calling that disaster on a dish Breakfast . she looked towards Nik who stood up and took the plate from Elijah's Hands throw it in the trash and with gentle hands on her dainty shoulders steered the shocked Hayley to the Dinning room .
Hayley turned her head back to demand . " Niklaus Mikaelson did you just Throw my food in the Bin !? " .
" no need to thank me love I'm a gentleman when it suit me , helping you throwing trash is nothing " . Nik answered with a smirk .
Fire lit on Hayley's Hazel green eyes and she spinned around now doing the steering by linking her arm with Klaus's and stating with a sweet smile . " that trash as you name it is what your daughter demand , and what you will prepare to me now " .
Elijah's titled his head to the tube of Ice cream on the counter . " Ice cream at eight in the Morning on Toast of all things !? " .
" Exactly " . Hayley chirped before she turned to the frowning Nik beside her . " with strawberry sauce on top " .
" Hayley's atrocious cravings aside , how was the Ritual ? " . Kol asked with a jeering smirk towards the now pouting Hayley as Niklaus went on and passed her a plate of Monti cresto sandwiches and juice .
" unexpected " . Klaus answered with a smile as he sat to Hayley's Right .
" It was something ". Rebekah answered as she sat at Niklaus side and Elijah took The chair to Hayley's left . " we meet our maternal Grandmother who is so different from Esther I wonder how they are related at all " . Rebekah lamented , Alvilde was fiery and strong headed woman like her but she was also cunning and Ruthless like their Mother .
" I met with Ansel my Father and my younger sister " . Klaus informed their Brothers with a smile .
Elijah's turned to him with worried curiosity and Finn stepped closer to look at their brother expression Kol spluttered in shock as he looked at Nik like he sprouted another head . " who ? , pardon me . I must have heard wrong , since when did you have a sister we don't know off ? " .
Nik rolled his eyes with a sigh but Answered None the less . " Since before you were born seeing as she is older than you and I have four younger siblings from Ansel my Biological father side Ostara is a few months younger than me and accompanied father for the Ritual " .
" Father !! " . Elijah and Finn parroted in shock .
Hayley tilted her head on obvious entertainment as she bit on her sandwich and kept her silence , at least she wasn't the only one who found humor at her Brothers reaction .
" You know the man who fathered me , who Mikael killed before I can meet or exchange a word with " . Nik answered with a down turn of his lips his good mood evaporating .
" and how did you find him ? , did he live up to your expectations ? " . Elijah asked with a smile .
Nik face lit up once more the answer clearly written on his face . " he was everything I wanted him to be and so much more " . he said with a sparkle in his eyes .
" we are happy for you brother , it may have taken you over a millennium but you finally got the answers you wanted " . Finn said with a genuine happy smile .
" Congratulations brother " . Kol said with genuine smile as well .
Elijah beamed at him and didn't say anything words were unnecessary between the two who understand each other the best on their family .
Hayley looked between the five of them with a soft smile as she rested her cheek on her Palm . " sorry to cut this sweet moment short but what is the plan ? " .
Nik turned to her With an amused smile as he took a napkin and cleaned the corner of Hayley's mouth with , she raised an eyebrow in intrigue and noted that Hayley didn't even blink or try to stop him she only colored in Embracement .
" the plan is still on Track , Now that Elijah is back with us he will focus on usurping control of the vampire faction from Marcel while retrieving Kol's artifacts , Kol will Handle Davina and recruit her to our service ..." . Klaus Drawled with a smirk as he throw the napkin away and gestured to Elijah who nodded with a smirk then to Kol who nodded with a frown .
" Not service , she is not an employee or a slave Klaus , Davina is family " . Hayley corrected him with a similar frown to Kol's .
Nik eyes darkened in displease but he sighed at the stubborn look that Hayley was sporting , Rebekah waited for her brother to lose his temper for the first time in weeks , " Family it is , but the moment she became a threat or betray us she will be an enemy " . he emphasis calmly .
Rebekah eyes widened in shock what Happened to her ill tempered Brother ? , Elijah smiled at Klaus happy that their brother didn't snap at Hayley . Nik continued with a gesture to Finn and Herself . " Finn will look after Freya and search for the counter spell to the crescent moon pack curse , Rebekah will aid him and look after you while I take over the Human and witch factions " .
Rebekah and Hayley bristled with indignation . " as we try to unlink yours and Hope lives from Sophie's " . Klaus finished with a smirk .
"firstly , How did I get elected a super-nanny slash assistant ? " . Rebekah demanded with annoyance .
" secondly , I'm twenty one next June I don't need a Watcher a thousand years badass vampire or other . Thirdly who put you in charge of my life we are partners here you ask me before you make decisions for me " Hayley stated with a firm tone as she locked eyes with Klaus in a show of dominance before she turned to Elijah and demanded . " Finally where is my blood ice cream ? " .
Klaus Glared at the two of them and stated with equal firmness . " you are pregnant with my child in a city filled to the brim with my enemies I have every Right to make any discion to protect my daughter , I'm keeping Rebekah away from Marcel as much as possible " .
" I'm not falling back with Marcel , Nik " . Rebekah cried in indignation .
" it's just a percussion sister " . Elijah answered her casually .
" to hell with you " . Rebekah snapped angrily but didn't press knowing that her Brothers are banded together against her .
Hayley and Klaus were glaring at each others in irritation before Hayley sighed and looked away with a frown and crossed her arms over her chest , " How do you plan to unlink me from the crazy witch ? " . she asked Elijah and Kol .
Kol smirked and answered with a raised brow . " I'm starting Davina on her first Lesson today I'm thinking of something simple Basic like a strong unlinking spell , seeing as Amanda failed on unlinking you it seems only an Ancestral witch can unlink you " .
" Marcel has being asking around about me , he know where we live now and I'm sure he paln to confront me about it today " . Klaus informed them with a frown .
" I will contact Delan and have him sneaked here , he will finish the spell and leave at the same day " . Elijah informed them with a sigh . " and I plan to talk with Marcel men they don't know me as well as they knew Nik "
Hayley looked at her with a commiserate looks looks . " as comforting as the idea of finally being free of the link to the evil witch , what about the other two , Sabin and Agnes ? " . she asked them with a sigh .
" Celeste , Yes , I think it's time we took care of that little problem " . Elijah stated with a raised brow .
" I'm all for it but we need her to left the curse over my family " . Hayley reminded him with a frown .
" we have our goals but Who do we have to kill to achieve them ? " . she asked her Brother's already fedup with all of this , she can't wait for Hayley and Hope to be unlinked so they can start killing their enemies instead of going for second best solutions .
Elijah considers this for a moment before he answered with his calm facade his eyes diverted from Hayley . " Probably no one " .
Everyone turned to him with disbelieving and confused expressions except Hayley who was watching Katewho entered the kitchen dragging away the corpse of the girl Klaus killed across the floor behind her . Klaus watched her with a worried look .
Hayley turned to Elijah with A disbelieving expression . Elijah rolled his eyes and sighed . " Alright , potentially everyone " .
Hayley giggled as she left the kitchen to return to sleep .
Hayley pov :
Hayley laid on the leather couch in the living Room with a light Blanket dropped over her . after changing into white eyelet stripped button down Dress with Red Cardigan and white suede fur flats .
Her makeup was minimum with only mascara and Red lipstick that Rebekah bought for her and she loved it , she rubbed her neck where a puncture mark has been twenty minutes ago before Hope Blood healed it , the small injury had set Rebekah on edge and against Hayley's reassurances had called Both her Brothers and even Finn who went on to Research what are Witch's are up to .
Something keep niggling at the back of her mind like she is forgetting something important something fatal , and a fuzzy vision she had when she was a sleep that she didn't remember anything of .
Rebekah entered the Room just as she flipped the page on a new Journal this time Klaus's with a plate filled with sliced fresh Apple's .
" Time for the demon spawn to snack ! " . Rebekah announced playfully .
" who is your precious only Niece , I will Appreciate it if you wouldn't call her that " . Hayley retorted with a smile , she couldn't bring her self to be mad at Rebekah anyone else she would have shredded to pieces or stabbed them with something but Rebekah was sweet on Hope and The Devil sister she can get away with it , this time .
" oh , Sorry " . Rebekah said with a guilty smile . " I'm still mad at Nik though " . she finished with a pout .
" You and me Both " . Hayley answered with a huff , she wiggled her finger's for the plate of apple slices dipped in Honey . " thank you , is it bad that I'm always hungry ? " . she asked curiously and with a little worry .
Rebekah smiled as she sat beside her , " no not according to Google Finn and Kol the experts on all thing pregnant and Witch's respectively " . Rebekah reassured her , she nodded and took a bite from the heavenly treat .
" How are you Feeling ? " . Rebekah asked as she Rubbed her small baby pump with a happy smile .
Hayley smiled at her as she waved her fork and answered . " I feel fine ... which is weird . I'm sure it's Sophie-related " . she confessed her fear and confusion .
" l'm worried too , just please for the love of Hope , do me a favor , and don't die on my watch . I'll never hear the end of it " . Rebekah pleaded earnestly . " their is no way Nik won't Dagger me if that Happened " .
" Geez , thanks for the overwhelming care you are showing us auntie Bex " . Hayley retorted with an eye Roll .
" oh I do care more than you will know , but so does Nik and he can be very frightening when what he cared about is threatened " . Rebekah answered with a smile .
Hayley smiled and Bite into another Apple slice and reminisced with a fond smile . " You know , when I first met you , I thought you were a real bitch " .
Rebekah smirked a smirk reminisce of her older Hybrid Brother as she asked her playfully . " oh , Really !! , What changed your mind ? " .
Hayley smirked back equally as playful and truthful . " Oh , I still think you're a bitch! I've just grown to like that about you " .
Rebekah beamed at her and Replied Happily . "Aw , well , that's sweet of you to say " . before she continued . " just Remember that ten years from now , By then you will be cursing our names " .
Hayley laughed at her words , only if she knew , suddenly a bout of Dizziness hit her and she dropped the plate to the floor she blinked away the Haziness in her vision and inhaled in fear and recognition and understanding , how could she forget this ? , The hazy vision she had in her sleep now made full sense .
Rebekah looked from her pale face to the fingers pressing her temples and asked her worriedly . " Hayley , What's wrong ? " .
Hayley looked at her with a grim look once the bout subsided . " call your Brother's Rebekah , Agnes is trying to Kill Hope again " .
Rebekah jumped up in panic and supported her up the stairs . " damn that Bitch , you're burning up " . she noted frettingly .
She helped her into Bed and vamp speed down the stairs calling for Finn and Amanda .
Klaus pov :
Klaus grip on his phone tightened enough to nearly destroy the fragile piece if plastic metal and glass , he refrained from destroying the valuable piece of technology by exerting a Heracleing efforts his explosive temper was always a problem for him and his family , and he need it for the time being .
Rebekah's voice streamed from the phone furious and fearful . " You need to find Sophie Deveraux , Hayley's temperature keep raising slowly and she is quite panicked " .
He suppressed a growl forget about dark curses and spells at this Rate those Bloody Witch's will kill his child and her mother from stress alone , " Keep her calm , Elijah and I have found Sophie hidden place , we will collect the Witch's , what did Hayley say about the curse Agnes put on her ? " .
" Only that it was one of Kol dark artifacts , look like a rusty Needle and is supposed to induce miscarriage " . Rebekah replied agitatedly , and Elijah's grip on the car wheels tightened .
" What about Finn can he counter the affects of this curse ? " . Elijah asked worriedly .
" He and Amanda can only make a concoction to Reduce her Temperatures and do a spell to Keep Hope as comfortable as possible " . Rebekah answered , he heard her move around Hayley's Room probably to assist Finn and Amanda .
He sighed he trust Finn to keep Hayley save and try his best to save his child until he do it himself by destroying Agnes , Elijah's car parked outside the Lafayette cemetery and the two Raced to where they can hear Sophie Deveraux and smell her Scent's .
Sophie was chained to a chains attached to the Roof and the wall of the mausoleum , Elijah speed to her and broke her free from her chain he caught her careful not to Hurt her in fear of hurting Hayley but the threat was clear in his eyes and expression .
" What did you do ? " . He demanded with a cold Hiss .
" Agnes stuck me with a needle . Cursed objects were created a long time ago . We use them so we don't get busted by Marcel for doing magic . The one she used is called the Needle of Sorrows. It was cursed in 1860 when... " . Sophie's eyes widened in fear and she stuttered .
He cut her off with a Harsh growl " Jump ahead a few decades and tell us what it does ? " . he demanded angrily .
" It has only one purpose , to kill a child in utero by raising her blood temperature " . Sophie answered warily after she witted her lips .
He shared a furious glance with his older Brother who looked a breath away from losing his own formidable Temper . " how much time do we have to fix this ? " . Elijah demanded coldly .
" It will do what it's meant to by tonight's high tide . And believe me , it will work . I saw her use a similar object on a kid who went mad and killed a bunch of priests " . Sophie emphasised urgently .
" ah , Agnes " . he hissed menacingly , he grabbed her arm and dragged her away behind him .
" where are you taking me ? " . Sophie demanded apprehensively at least she has the sense to be fearful .
" to our Compound , you will not leave until we unlink you from Hayley . No more danger toward her or our child " . Klaus answered without looking back at her as he opened the backdoor and brushed her in a little bit roughly .
" No , what ? If I am not linked to Hayley , I lose my leverage on you . We had a deal !" . Sophie protested with a confused and worried Head shake .
" We are not on the same side , Sophie Deveraux . Our deal no longer stands ! " . Elijah retorted with a dark glare .
He stormed into the church ignoring the deluge of Humans and pulled father Kieran to the side ignoring all protests and threats he flashed the gathered Human an ember glare before he turned to the calm priest and demanded .
" you have one Hour to find me The witch Elder Agnes , or So Help me you will all be dead by the end of the Hour ".
Father Kieran raised his Brow's at him in surprise and defiance . " and what gave you the idea that we will help you with anything ? " .
Klaus smiled at him all sharp white teeth and malice , " Oh , you will if not for me then for yourself " . he said confidently .
Father Kieran eyes blazed and he hissed threateningly . " if you think that you can waltz into my city , shake the tentative piece we have and order me around then you don't know who you are dealing with " .
Klaus smirked and leaned over the old Priest with an entertained expression , " I'm here to do more than waltz over all of you , when I'm done with you . all of you won't have a city to worry over , now why don't you go on and hunt Agnes so I can kill her for the two of us " . he ordered patronizingly .
Father Kieran narrowed his eyes at him he could see the well hidden fear and apprehension in the priest asked him curiously " why would I want her dead ? " .
Klaus continued with a condescending smile he learned from Elijah , he wasn't as proficient as his older brother but he was adapt and was in the other end of this expression enough to pull it flawlessly . " What if I told you that Agnes was the answer to a question you've been asking since you ran screaming from this town ? That she is the witch who hexed your nephew , Sean ? " .
Father Kieran looked at him in disbelieve and Hope before he glanced behind him at his silently listening accomplices who sported flabbergasted expressions . " We'd need some time to discuss... " .
Klaus raised his finger and silenced him with a glare . " one Hour , you know who we are and the lengths we are willing to go to to achieve our ends , you hand Agnes to me or I will slaughter this entire city Human and supernatural to get her , a few thousands is nothing to us ", . he stated firmly , and they are nothing to him compared with his Hope and Hayley's lives .
" fine , come back in an Hour " . father Kieran agreed Reluctantly .
Klaus smirked as he speed away his enhanced hearing catching the order's father Kieran assigned to his helper's . " I want that witch . Cell phone records , our guys in the 9th... " .
One of the man cried in outrage . " For the vampire ? " .
Father Kieran replied darkly . " No , for me " .
He went upstairs clutching the copy of the unlinking spell his mother Wrote and entered Davina's Room she was too focused on Kol lecture on the History and classification of witchcraft to notice his arrival but Kol did .
" you are here finally " . Kol acknowledged him with a nod before he turned to Davina . " I'm starting you on your first control exercise , you will learn a spell from my Mother Grimoire " .
Davina looked from Kol to him curiously as he handed her the spell and the knot that represent Hayley and Sophie link , she looked from the spell and asked kol curiously . " why Unknotting spell ? "
Kol smiled calmly and continued to lecture her . " This is a sanguinum knot . The witches use it as representational magic . If you can unknot this using that spell , you will have taken a step towards learning control . This is one of my mother's later spells . It requires much more power than you realize . Now , if you can perform this , then I will teach you another spell " .
Davina's eyes lit up and she went to one of the tables and laid the Knot carefully and started Reading the spell more diligently . he gestured for Kol to follow him to the side and asked him . " what do you know about a cursed object called the needle of sorrow ? " .
Kol eyes lit with downing realization . " they didn't ? " . he asked more like pleaded worriedly .
" Agnes stabbed Sophie Deveraux with it as of now Hayley is suffering from it's effects " .
" one of my Witch's adhelid created it in Eighteen century , I will make sure that Davina unlink them before the full effect of the Needle befall Hayley and Hope , in the mean while keep her temperature as low as possible " . Kol instructed before he hurried to Davina's side .
Klaus speed of to the compound where he found Sophie seated in one of the chairs looking sick and exhausted and his chest tightened in worry he speed to Hayley's Room were the smell of Herbs filled the Room , Rebekah and Elijah were by her sides weeping her face Neck and chest with icy cold water the central air-conditioning was turned to the highest degree and he speed to Hayley's side and took her small palm gently in his .
Hayley's face was flushed red , her hair and face was dripping with sweat no matter how many times Elijah wiped it her bottom lip was trembling and her breathing was getting more difficult by the minutes .
Hayley smiled at Him her eyes fluttering close for a second before she opened them with difficulty . " hey , you are Back " . she whispered softly .
He brushed her hair tenderly from her damp forehead and whispered back Reassuringly , " I'm , fear not little wolf . you will be fine soon , just hold on for a while " .
Hayley answered with a Smile at him softly her hand squeezing his and her eyes filled with trust . " I know , I trust you to keep us save " . she whispered confidently her eyes filled with complete and utter faith in him and his chest tightened even more .
He Looked at Elijah who smiled at him in understanding , never in his live has anyone looked at him with so much faith and overwhelming trust to lay their live in his hand so willingly and With no worry .
He gulped down and smiled at her and brushed her smooth cheek tenderly . " I will raise this city to the ground for the two of you so Hold on , little wolf " .
Hayley nodded and he stood up and moved to The worried Rebekah side leaving Elijah to squeezed Hayley's hand Reassuringly whispering reassurances and sweet nothing's in her ears as he wiped her forehead she smiled grateful at him as she rubbed her Bump soothingly .
Rebekah took his hands and her eyes willed with tears . " Nik " . she whispered fearfully .
He hugged her to him and asked her . " why are you crying now Rebekah ? " .
" you know she is right she and Hope had done nothing to deserve this suffering , they are trying to kill my niece and her Poor mother she is Werewolf her endurance is better than human but still it won't help her much here " . Rebekah cried into his chest .
He gulped down a growl and promised , " no one will hurt my little Girl and her mother " . before he shifted her attention and asked her . " look after her for me will you Bekah ? " .
Rebekah nodded and moved in to Help Elijah he descended down the stairs towards Sophie , who looked up guiltily from Elijah's journal that Hayley must have left forgotten once the curse started .
He snatched the Journal from her Hand and waved it threateningly at her . "sit tight there , look at nothing and touch nothing or I will use it to torture you " .
Sophie stood up and argued in confusion and irritation . " I don't understand , I'm a Witch I can help Hayley and your baby , if you just let me I can help keep the fever at bay as much as possible " .
Klaus Glared at her with Hate in his eyes and she scrambled back terrified . " the only help required from you is for you to stay away from Hayley while we fix your mess , once this problem is solved we will talk " .
He towered over her for a minute watching her expression to determine her thoughts , satisfied with the fear and despair in her eyes he called for Paul and Kate to stand Guard and keep an eye on her .
He looked down at his watch it been forty minutes , more than enough for the humans to track Agnes he made a note to provide Mike and his partners with advanced technology and a heftier check so they can do this for him and he won't have to approach the human faction again for anything and give them leverage over him or God forbid the illusion of weakness .
He entered the church stealthily and stood behind father Kieran he Read the text and the Address over his shoulder before he took three stealthy steps back from the older man who pocketed his phone and turned around and looked taken back to find him leaning on his desk .
" Going somewhere ? " . Klaus asked him rhetorically, he had seen the dark gleam in the man eyes and know that the man was planning to exact his revenge on the witch and without him too .
" You're early " . Father Kieran stated nervously .
He sat on the pew and crossed his legs and willed himself not to lose his patients and show any sign of agitation or worry . " Well , it's a good thing I am . You seem hell-bent on enacting vengeance all on your lonesome . The trouble is , I need something from Agnes before you send her off to meet her maker . So , I propose we strike a deal !" . he spoke softly , knowingly .
Father Kieran turned to him with the fire in his Eyes ready to fight him for the witch if it come to it . " Bring her here ! In exchange , I'll even ensure your niece , Cami , remains safe . Oh , I'd so hate for her to get caught up in all of this ". He continued nonchalantly .
He would hate for the amusing human to die , for Hayley's sake who adore her for some Reason but if it came to it he Will her hundred different ways to get his ends and then bear Hayley's anger and disappointment .
Father Kieran scowled but complied half an Hour later , police officers in the Faction return to the church with Agnes , who is handcuffed and brought to the front of the room .
She Blanched at the sight of him and he smiled maliciously at her and saw the human edge away from him and he picked up on their fear and agitation .
The officers sat her at the pew across from Klaus's and fled out of the church, Agnes looked between the two in fear and asked them with an appalled tone and expression " This is outrageous ! What is the charge ? " .
Father Kieran looked upon her with ice in his eyes as he spoke calmly . " Please , Agnes . You know that Marcel runs the vampires in this town " . he was handed a folded cloth by the only remaining officer , which was revealed to contain the Needle of Sorrows . " Who do you think runs everything else ?" .
His gaze locked on the dark object that Hayley described and resisted the urge to step the three with it . father Kieran turned and handed it to him he took it carefully . " I believe this is what you were looking for ? " .
" You made a deal withhim ? " . she demanded from the priest in disgust and outrage .
Father Kieran turned to her and hissed furiously hatefully . " After what you did to Sean , I'd deal with the devil himself just to make you suffer ! " .
Agnes jumped to her feet's SD to father Kieran face with dark smile as she replied confidently . " You can't hurt me . The entire witch community will turn against you ! " .
He stood up too fedup and impatient with the two , they may have all the time in the world to duke it out but his daughter doesn't . " ENOUGH! Please , enough ! I don't care about witch politics. I don't care about your ridiculous little Harvest ritual . What I care about is this trinket " . He shouted furiously .
He held the Needle to her and ordered her . " Undo its curse , or I'll show you things worse than death ! " . he promised and he intend to keep it either way .
Agnes looked at him with q vindictive smirk as she replied . " Dark objects don't come with an off-switch ! The curse took root in Sophie , she's linked to your devil child . It's just a matter of time ! " .
Klaus retracted his hand and stared at her dark eyes filled with glee and anticipation to see him suffer and his child death . he smiled at her and nodded . " let's wait and see then " .
He took an injection from his jacket pocket and injected it in her neck careful not to hit any major vessels but cause Horrendous pain . she screamed in pain and fear as she clamped a hand on her Neck he waved the injection at her face with the same vindictive smirk she sported a second before .
" this injection was filled with poison , I had a witch brew this specifically for you you will be dead in four hours and no one can save you but me , first your entire body will wrath in pains your veins will be filled with the poison and feel like liquid fire , your internal organs will liquefy in four hours before then you will slowly and painfully lose your mind like poor Sean " . he explained with a smirk , Kol was a creative and vindictive Basterd and it come to hand numerous time's .
He turned to the shocked father Kieran beside him , "enjoy the show as long as you can " . with that he pocketed both needle and speed back to the compound .
Hayley POV :
Hayley sat by the pool warped in a pink Bathrobe her hands over her womb , her body was rid with chills and she was shivering like a live her limbs trembling and her muscles ached she was sweating even with the freezing temperature her head was throbbing and she felt ... Well murderous she wanted the Agnes corpse at her feet .
She is sick of everyone trying to kill her and her daughter , How could the Ancestors expect her to sit by and let those Witch's threaten them left and Right .
Fine maybe they have point preserve the timeline keep her Knowledge kill her enemies before the malevolent villains of their story appear .
Hayley snarled to Herself ancestors be damned she was in pain , her child maybe hurt and she will have Sophie and Sabine heads on a spike , mark her words .
Rebekah and Elijah were assisting Amanda and Finn preparing and filling the pool with medical Herbs .
Elijah looked at her worriedly before he turned to the calm and collected Finn who looked absorbed in his work . " She's burning up ! We need to do this now " . Elijah urged his brother nervously .
Finn stared him down and stated calmly . " calm down brother , Get her in the water ! " . he ordered the two .
In a second she was in Elijah's arms as he jumped into the water , Rebekah followed and the two supported her between them .
" will this work ? " . Rebekah asked fretfully .
" it will the ice in the water and the Herbs will reduce her temperature Drastically , the herbal mix Amanda preparing is to Balance the affect of the fever and the cold water so she won't go in a shock " . Finn explained as Amanda passed Hayley a Cup filled with a sweet smelling mixer .
" Drink this ! " . she instructed her softly , she took the cup with trembling Hands and drank it all , and felt a little better .
" the Tides will reach its highest in minutes , The affect will be Exurating . you need to Hold her to slow down her heartBeat's and to stop her from hurting herself " . Finn ordered and the two Original's who turned to him with shocked expressions .
" Hurt herself !? " . the two questioned in Alarm , joined with Klaus who interred the Room .
Finn turned to Him and ordered . " Take your jacket and Joined Elijah you will be more effective than Rebekah in Restraining her " .
In a Flash of a speed his jacket was thrown behind him carelessly and he took Rebekah's place who took a step back but didn't leave the pool .
The two pick Hayley bridal style as she groaned and struggled to breath buried her face in Klaus shirt .
" Hold on Darling , Davina will break the curse in a second " . Klaus soothed her gently .
In Davina's Room she was sitting on the floor with the sanguinatum Knot in her Lap as she Repeated the spell to Kol who nodded and instructed again .
" Remember mental visualization is the key imagine the Knot as two separate entities that are knotted Together , two power forces and unrufle it " . Kol emphasised , Davina nodded in understanding and cleared her mind visualizing the Knot in her mind and called her power it moved into the Knot and she started chanting .
" Phesmatos omnio legares cordate... " . she started nervously at first before she gained confidence when her magic enveloped the Knot .
In the swimming pool at the Mikaelson Mansion , Hayley begins hyperventilating . " I can't breathe !" . she groaned , and Klaus's Hold on her tightened he looked at Elijah for a solution Who ordered her calmly .
" Okay , long deep breaths , Hayley ! Look at me . Long deep breaths , just focus on the sound of my voice , You'll be okay . You'll be okay " . Elijah said softly .
" Phesmatos omnio legares cordate sangorium " . Davina continued the spell , and the clock in her dresser chimed 9 clock .
Hayley screamed in pain and thrashed violently in Elijah's and Klaus's Hold like she was electrocuted , Rebekah paled and hurried to seize her legs as her Brothers Hold her down so she won't fall or hit anything .
Klaus Hissed to Himself as she swore Retaliation against the Witch's for this , Elijah's eyes were Bitch Black and his face twisted into A murderous expression . even Rebekah and the ever impassive and zen Finn looked furious .
" Hold her down " . Finn ordered sternly .
The knot in Davina's hands floats in the air and begins to unknot itself , Sophie who was lying in the couch started to gasp in shock as the linking spell begins to lift . and Hayley continues to groan in pain .
The knot completely unravels itself in midair , and Davina smiled and giggled in happiness before she waved the untied Rope to Kol in accomplishments Kol smiled at her with a hint of Relive and pride , Sophie looked up at the elaported fancy ceiling looking almost disappointed but Relived she didn't hear screams or murderous growls so Hayley and her child must be okay , she may have lost her leverage but she will keep her live , she will need another leverage to save Monique .
Hayley starts to calm down , she sighed as she looked at the three with a ruffled appearance . " I felt it left , we are unlined now " . she said hoarsely .
Rebekah Finn Klaus and Elijah sighed in relief , Hayley stood in her on feet's shakily her hands tightened around Elijah's and Klaus's shoulders , she looked at Rebekah and asked softly . " can you help me to my Room !? , Bekah " .
Rebekah smiled and linked her arm with her as the two left the Pool with careful steps , as they passed the living room and the Hunched form of Sophie Deveraux Hayley stopped and walked towards the now apprehensive witch .
" it will be smart for you to flee this city , for the second I'm back to normal I will destroy you , I don't care if you were using us to save your people , try that again and I will kill you by my own Hands " . Hayley promised calmly her Gaze eyes flashed yellow and her smile was positively chilly .
She smiled down at the terrified looking witch before she spun around and linked her arm with the darkly Beaming Rebekah as the two moved to her Room .
Klaus who was leaning on one of the Antique ornate chair watching them amusedly , Elijah by his side smiling with the same dark amusement In his younger Brother face .
Sophie looked at them and jumped to her feet's as she pleaded . " look I know that Agnes went too far , and i knowyou don't owe me anything , butplease ,don't kill her She's our only access to the power weneedto survive " . she begged the two fearfully .
Klaus smiled a manic wide smile before he purred . " How sad ! , you have three hours to find another way to survive for in three hours she will be dead " .
Sophie's eyes widened in disbelieve and utter devastation , her lips trembles as she looked to Elijah for Mercy . " Elijah , please stop him , he can't kill her if he did we won't be able to complete the Harvest " .
" Agnes will die tonight , she is of no use to us , and is nothing but a Thorn on our side " . Elijah refused calmly as he moved to sit in the other single seat beside his brother and across from Sophie .
" You don't understand , we are doomed " . Sophie collapsed into the couch behind her lifelessly .
Klaus smiled at her and stated cunningly . " not if you became the next Elder " .
Sophie head snapped up as she gaped at him in disbelieve . " You can't ... You don't ... What are you ? ... do you even know what the requirements to be an elder ? " . Sophie spluttered with shock and disbelief .
" we do know , and we have a powerful witch for you to concicrate and channel , you just need to wait until we get Davina and when the time come preform the Ritual " . Elijah informed softly his tone equally as cunning as his brother .
Klaus smirk widened as he continued . " and you don't breath out a word of this to anyone especially your friend Sabine " .
" do you agree or not ? " . Elijah asked her curiously .
Sophie looked between the two with wide eyes and asked . " there is no way to save Agnes is there ? " .
" No , nothing you do will save her " . Klaus answered with a satisfied smile .
Sophie closed her eyes for a moment before opening them with a resolved nod as she looked at them . " we have a deal , as long as Davina die and the Harvest is completed " .
" you can go now , and remember not a word to your friend or you die and the Harvest will not be completed " . Elijah reminded firmly .
Sophie didn't waste a second hurrying out of the compound like the sounds of hell are after her .
Elijah pov :
Elijah sat across from his Brother's in his study , Kol has Returned from Davina leaving the Witch to rest . Elijah looked up from a financial report at the sound of footsteps a outside in the gardens .
He glanced at his only living brother and remarked with a smirk . " Your protege is spying on us " .
Klaus who was Reading a poetry Books smiled and didn't look up when he answered nonchalantly . " let him , he can skulk around all night I will sit here and enjoy his anger and fear that I can smell even from a distance " .
Kol cackled as he watched Marcel from the window and Finn looked away from the plasma screen showing a historical documentary about the history and culture of the fifteen and sixteen centuries , for a moment to smile at Klaus's Remark before Returning to watch his program with avid interest .
Hayley was safely tucked in bed and Rebekah was enjoying a movie in her Room TV screen as she went over her ordered selection of Maternity dress for Hayley and her own new season wardrobe that will be shipped here in two days from Italy and France .
" I suggest you put the boy out of his misery and send him away Niklaus " . Elijah ordered with a stern look .
" your compelled vampire Josh has already Been exposed , throw him a Bone so he won't linger and discover Hayley's existence " . Finn nodded in agreement and presided Klaus to do so as well .
Klaus sighed and put his Book in a side table and moved to the Back garden .
He Stopped behind Marcel and greeted with a sarcastic smile . " Here for a drink ? , Marcellus " .
Marcel turned quickly to face him masking his surprise with a confident smirk . " Nah , just to see where you are staying now , the Royal Palace not Grand enough !? " . he prodded .
" Hotel's are not our thing , that why we have a Residence in every city we frequent , And The Royal palace is to tacky for Elijah's taste " . Klaus answered with a nonchalant shrug of his shoulder as he indulged his protégé curiosity .
" Interesting location to put down your roots , the same plantation where I was a slave . I guess that's why you never invited me over " . Marcel said with the same level of sarcasm his eyes flashed in anger .
" Ah , the House was Elijah's choice seeing as you did take over our Home , And for inviting you please come in Rebekah is waiting for us in the living Room with Vervain laced Drinks and her Embarrassing collection of your Childhood photographs " . Klaus invited him with a Devious smirk as he Heared his sister move to collect the items with a dark Giggle that Mar el picked on with the way his face blanched .
" Nah , maybe next time , see you Tomorrow man same place same time " . Marcel declined with a forced smile .
" Don't be shy come in " . Klaus insisted as he gestured to the Backdoor of the compound .
" no need , I Have a lead on the Witch's . my men found something for me " . Marcel excused with a step back .
" Oh bring him in Nik , I brought out my sword collection , let's Marcel join Me in practice it has been over a century I have lost my edge " . Rebekah persuaded from the Door as she smiled angelically at Marcel a gleaming sword in her hand .
Marcel gulped fearfully and looked at Klaus for aid . " let him be Bekah , he had found the Witch's , you know what Happen after I kill them " .
" I can go back to Zurich and my Darling " . Rebekah answered with a beaming smile , she turned to Marcel and snarled . " What are you waiting for ? , go and capture them , shoo " .
Marcel glared at her but nodded at Klaus and left , Klaus turned to her with a smirk as he went on to check on Hayley .
He stepped silently into the dimly lit Room , Hayley was laying on Bed her bleary eyes looking st the stars from the Balcony .
He sat by her side and brushed her hair from her face carefully . " can't sleep little wolf ? " .
" I feel so sleepy but I'm too tired to sleep " . Hayley answered with a weak smile .
" star gazing help with clearing the mind " . He said softly .
Hayley smiled before her eyes lit up and she extended her palm to him he took it with a confused look , " Hope " . she reminded him with a smile .
His face brightened and his eyes twinkled as well as he carefully intruded into her mind , this time he was in his atelier with what looked like a seven months old Hope in his Arms dressed in a pink onesie of a Rabbit with Rabbit ears , Hope was sucking on her right hand as she watched Klaus paint Jazz music coming from the stereo downstairs .
Every once in a while he will look down and brush a kiss to Hope chubby cheeks as the child hummed to Herself , he was painting a landscape he Remember it was the sight of Vienna in Autumn with leaves falling in the Roads and the small River and stone bridge .
Hope watched every paint stroke intently her half dropping eyes fixed on the painting with curious eyes , her left hand will tab his right hand holding the brush as if to take it from him .
He stepped closure his eyes fixed on his daughter lovely visage of child innocence and purity , Hayley beside him with an adoring smile on her face .
" where is this place ? " . Hayley asked curiously , as she gestured to the painting .
" Vienna one of Europe most beautiful city , peaceful and filled with natural beauty " . he answered her with a smile , he cared a little for the painting his attention was on Hope who once again tried to take the brush from his hand .
His future counterpart kissed her tiny palm and moved the brush away from her grasp , Hope didn't cry she Hummed and smiled and let out a little Laugh , treating this as game .
" You are natural with her " . Hayley praised him with a smile . " I know that you are good with her , But this ...you are natural father Klaus " .
Klaus turned to her with a soft smile he felt gratitude and relive every interaction with his daughter chipped at his apprehension and fears .
The two of them stood there watching as Klaus painted and painted with a peaceful and contented eyes and a soft smile on his lips . until Hope fell a sleep lured by her father heartbeat the soft music and the rhythmic Paint brushes .
Klaus put down his brush and supported Hope body with both arms , as he made his way to the nursery and Laid her carefully in her crib , the child didn't twitch or wake at all . Klaus covered her with the blanket and after turning on the night lights and kissing his daughter forehead he left .
Hayley smiled and turned to him as the two left her consciousness , " the two of you are so adorable " . Hayley stated with a giggle .
" Hope is more than adorable she is Angelic " . Klaus agreed with a smile .
Hayley closed her eyes and yawned
" well she did take after me " . she teased with a haughty smile .
" as long as she doesn't inherit our ego " . Klaus nodded in agreement and teased her back as he covered her with the blanket .
" Thankfully no " . Hayley said with Relief .
" Good night , little wolf " . Klaus bid her as he opened her Room door .
" Good night , Klaus " . Hayley replied sleepily .
Klaus smiled and left to join his siblings in the study .
