Elijah studied Niklaus, he couldn't understand what he had wanted from this child, but he felt grateful that he had agreed to save the girl and bring her home with us. "The witches have agreed to protect Hayley from Marcel and his vampire crew if you will take down Marcel."
Niklaus didn't respond to Elijah, he could see that his brother cared for this wolf girl but couldn't understand why. Niklaus left the room without responding. He wandered the big Mansion checking every room, until he stumbled across the one with Hayley inside. Elijah had put her into one of nicest room's in the house, it had belonged to his younger sister Rebekah. He wondered briefly about what Rebekah had been up to lately before focusing back on Hayley.
She lay in the bed with the covers up to her knees, curled into a slight ball. Klaus stood standing over the bed looking at Hayley. He focused on the heartbeat of the child growing inside her stomach. His child. Hayley squirmed a little and he noticed that she was still wearing the clothes that she had worn inside the witches' coven. He made a mental note to get some clothes as he doubted that she wore the same clothes as Rebekah. He walked to the side of her bed and pulled the duvet over her and up to her neck, he brushed a stand of her brunette hair away from her face.
"Sleep tight, little wolf." He said before making his exit back to his study.
The next morning Hayley awoke in her new overly sized bedroom, she had wondered who this room had belonged to. Before she could focus on anything else, she heard a gentle knocking on the door, it swung open and she could see Elijah. He was wearing a slightly different suit from yesterday but immaculate none the less. She had briefly wondered how many suits Elijah actually owned although she would probably never get a chance to ask.
"Good morning, are you feeling alright?" He watched as the small framed girl rubbed her eyes with the back of her hands. "Did you sleep well?" Elijah tried to make her feel welcome as he spoke.
"Hi, thanks for letting me stay here. I'm as good as I can be considering the circumstances." Hayley tried to sound confident in her voice, after all she was in a house with two original vampires, one of which being a hybrid and the father to her child. She had no place for fear right now, she had to look out for herself and her unborn child. "I hate to ask, but is there any clothes I can wear? I don't have anything other than the clothes on my back. The rest is back at the Bayou, the witches' didn't exactly tell me to pack a bag when they kidnapped me."
"Of course, our sister Rebekah will be here shortly. Niklaus has asked her to come and bring you a new wardrobe." Elijah said.
"Thank you, I guess." A sister, Hayley thought. Why hadn't Klaus mentioned her? You had a one night stand with the man, he isn't going to tell you the ins and outs of his family dynamics. She suddenly felt stupid for wondering why she didn't know much about the Original family.
Elijah left the room and Rebekah arrived shortly after.
"I see my brothers have set you up in my old bedroom, I hope you will be comfortable here. Here are some bags of clothes I picked out, some might be a bit big but hopefully you will grow into them. My brother never told me you were a child." Rebekah said handing Hayley the bags. Rebekah was taller than Hayley, she wore a black dress which went to her knees. She had blonde hair and piercing blue eyes.
"I hope you don't think me rude, but I am not a child. I am 20. Thanks for letting me stay in your room." Hayley tried to not sound rude. "And for the clothes."
Rebekah left the room in search for her hybrid brother. She found him painting in his study which was only 10 doors down from her old room now belonging to Hayley.
"Since when do you think has it been okay to sleep with 20 year old?" Rebekah voice was harsh.
"Hello to you too little sister. In my defence, I met the girl in a bar." Klaus sarcastically shot back at her.
"She's not even of drinking age Nik! I don't know what's worse, the fact she is pregnant with your child or her age!" Rebekah tried to stop herself for shouting.
Klaus tried to not show his emotion and grinded his teeth slightly. How had she been only 20? She looked at least 25 that night in the bar. Elijah joined his siblings in the study.
"Rebekah, how lovely of you to finally join us. I see you have made yourself acquainted with the lovely Hayley." Elijah smiled at the sight of his family back in one room together again.
"Did you know that Hayley is only 20?" Rebekah questioned her oldest brother.
"No, I did not, but there is nothing I can change about that now. We must protect the girl and Niklaus' unborn child." Elijah spoke trying to keep peace within his family. Despite the fact he felt angry at his brother for not asking Hayley's age.
"Hi, I hope I'm not interrupting anything, thank you again for the clothes." Hayley said giving a nod in Rebekah's general direction.
Rebekah smiled at Hayley before telling Elijah that they should give Klaus and Hayley some privacy. Rebekah and Elijah left the study leaving the both of them together. Hayley felt extremely uncomfortable and rather nervous but she tried her best not to show it.
"Why didn't you tell me you were underage?" Klaus demanded.
"Excuse me, you didn't exactly ask me, did you? No I didn't think so. Why am I here?" Hayley said with a sarcastic tone.
"Little wolf, that child that is growing inside of you is the reason you are here. If the witches' are correct then that child is mine." Hayley didn't like the way Klaus referred to her child as his. It made her feel uneasy.
"Yes, this child is indeed yours considering I haven't been with anyone else… ever!" Hayley hated having to admit to him that he was the only person she had ever slept with.
Klaus' eyes rolled in his head as he thought about that night. How drunk had he been to take this poor girl's virginity and not know. He leaned on his easel in an attempt to steady himself from the overload of information in one day.
"You will stay here until the child is born. The rest will be worked out later, you are not to leave this house, unless you are escorted by myself or one of my siblings. Besides that you are free to roam the grounds." Klaus turned his back to Hayley and picked up one of his paintbrushes.
Who does he think he is telling me where I can and cannot go, Hayley thought to herself. She left the study and bumped into Elijah in the hallway. He gave her a warm smile and invited her to breakfast with him. He led her down the massive curved staircase and took her to the dining room. Hayley's eyebrows raised at the sight of the dining room, she couldn't believe it. Inside the room was the largest of dining tables with fresh flower's candles and plates and cutlery for 4 people. The surrounding of the room was beautiful but empty. Hayley noted a crest with the letter M engraved into one of the walls. Mikealson, her child was going to be a Mikealson. Elijah pulled out a chair for Hayley when they were joined by Rebekah and Klaus.
"Nik, I presume you have a plan to take down Marcel, care to share?" Rebekah had already set the tone of this breakfast conversation.
"Of course I have little sister. Marcellus needs to trust me for my plan to work. I have agreed to meet him later on today, I understand Marcel has rules in this town. He doesn't allow the killing of other vampires which means you, Rebekah, must learn to manage your temper." Klaus announced proudly. "I put you in charge of looking after Hayley, see to it, that she stays put and out of harms way."
"I can hear you, you know. I am not a child and I sure as hell do not need a babysitter. No offence Rebekah." Hayley voiced her opinions as loudly as she could manage.
"Some taken." Rebekah snarled back at Hayley.
"Rebekah, Niklaus, you must remember we are in company, can we not just enjoy a single breakfast without your constant bickering." Elijah said keeping the peace yet again.
Hayley grabbed a croissant of the table and set it down on her plate. She began to nibble at it and try to remain quite as she was taken away by the tense atmosphere around her. Klaus sat at the head of table in a chair that vaguely resembled a throne, he looked over at Hayley. He watched as she very slowly began to eat at her food. He didn't need to eat neither did Rebekah or Elijah but he watched as they ate a little to make Hayley feel less uncomfortable. Klaus gave Hayley a half-smile and noted that her eating habits must change if she was going to bear him an heir. He felt himself staring at her taking in her appearance. Hayley had medium length chocolate brown hair with slight curls, her eyes were a hazel green colour and her skin was a beautiful light olive shade. For a minute, he tried to picture her dressed in something that wasn't jeans and a blouse. That was when he noticed Hayley's face drop, she grabbed her hand over her mouth and for a minute, Klaus felt confused. He raised his eyebrows slightly and stared at the wolf girl.
I am going to throw up, Hayley thought to herself. She stood up and quickly raced towards the stairs and up to her room, she briefly remembered that she had an en suite in her room.
Elijah stood from the table but before he could do anything, Klaus shot past him in vampire speed.
Hayley began to throw up and turned her head to reveal Klaus standing in the doorway of her bathroom. "Gowaaay."She murmured as she continued to empty the contents of her stomach.
Klaus chuckled and began to slide himself down the floor beside the toilet and Hayley. "There there, little wolf." Klaus said as he rubbed her back. A strange feeling washed over Klaus, Did he care for Hayley? Or was it the thought of his child that made him want to keep her safe?
Hayley passed out and Klaus lifted her into his arms in a bridal style carrying her into her bedroom. He laid her on her bed and pulled the cover back up before returning to the breakfast table.
"Rebekah make sure she stays put, I have to go meet with Marcel. Don't wait up." Said Klaus before leaving the Mikealson Mansion.
Marcel stood waiting in Rousseau's for Klaus, Klaus entered the local bar at the corner of the street and the bar fell silent.
"Good to see you old friend." Marcel spoke with a very enthusiastic tone. "What can I get you?" Marcel rose from his bar stool before grabbing Klaus' hand in a one armed bro hug.
"You know my type." Klaus said with a wink before taking a seat at the bar. Marcel found a brunette girl and brought her to Klaus.
"Here, some of the finest in New Orleans" Said Marcel motioning to the girl.
"You are just feeding in public now?" Klaus uttered.
"The Locals have all been compelled to not notice vamp behaviour, and this is a no tourist zone. Go on dig in!" Marcel spoke with a smile.
Klaus bared his fangs and looked at the girl he was gifted by Marcel, she vaguely reminded him of Hayley which made him not want to drink from her. Come on, he thought to himself. He sank his fangs into her neck and her blood began to flow into his mouth.
He released the girl and ran his hand over his mouth before ordering a double whiskey.
"So the town follow you now. When I left, I was the King." Klaus spoke not looking at Marcel.
"You never left Klaus, you ran. You are not the King here anymore. I am there King, I am in charge now." Marcel said proud as ever.
Klaus and Marcel drank and spoke about New Orleans and what had happened in the 100 years since Klaus had last been in town.
Hayley awoke in her room for the second time that day, she peered at a clock on her nightstand it was only 5:25PM but it was almost dark outside. The climbed out of bed, the house felt silent. She remembered being sick and Klaus was slightly comforting her. She stared at herself in the full length mirror and placed her hands on her stomach were a small baby bump was starting to emerge. Hayley's mind was running wild. She didn't want a child with Klaus, he was a psychotic murderer and she doubted very much that he would make a good father.
Before even thinking she set off into the house, she wandered down the hall peaking in every door way for an original. None where to be seen. Hayley decided to sneak out of the house, fresh air was what she needed to clear her head and try think logically about this pregnancy.
I cannot protect a child in this world she though as she made her way into a witchcraft shop. The shop was very hippy looking with things dangling from the ceiling everywhere. Hayley made her way to the counter.
"I need wolfs bane." She announced to the young witch stood behind the counter.
Meanwhile back at Rousseau's, Klaus could feel his phone ringing in his pocket. He grabbed it and answered pulling the phone from his pocket to his ear.
"She's… gone." Rebekah whispered.
Author's Note – I had to ask my boyfriend what that half hug was that men do. He informed me it was called a 'One armed bro hug', if you don't know what one of those is, have a look on Google.
So this chapter is still trying to get a bit more of the story out. I feel like I may be lacking details in certain parts. I have tried to get as much of this story out in the past two days but I really need some reviews to see if you actually want me to continue writing this story. Please, Please Review.
