"What do you mean she is gone? YOU were supposed to watching her! I ordered her not to leave the mansion unless supervised by myself or you or Elijah." Klaus shouted down the phone to Rebekah.
"Excuse me, you cannot order her to stay. Is it any wonder she left?" Rebekah shouted back in her sassiest of tones.
Hayley sat on a bench in the middle of the French Quarter, holding a drinking glass containing Wolf's bane. You can do this she willed herself, wolfs bane would poison her but hopefully remove the child from a life of danger. Klaus would be mad but she would deal with that later. She took a small swig before hearing rustling behind her in the bushes beside the bench. Klaus appeared looking very angry and knocked the bottle out of her hand and to the floor. The liquid sizzles on the floor and Klaus' eyebrows raise staring at Hayley.
"What was that?" Klaus demanded.
"Wolfs bane." Hayley replied so matter of factly. Before she could say anything else Klaus grabbed her wrist tightly and Hayley winced at him, trying to pull her hand away.
More rustling came from behind bench to the bushes. Five of Marcel's vampires came out of every direction and Klaus pulled Hayley so they were back to back.
"We heard there was a werewolf in the Quarter." One of them men said. "She doesn't belong here." He bared his fangs with the rest of them as they moved closer in on Hayley and Klaus.
Elijah vampire sped out of nowhere and before Hayley could process what was going on, the vampires surrounding her were all dead in a matter of seconds. A pile of bodies lay at Hayley's feet, she felt her body begin to shake uncontrollably, she had seen a dead body before but never this many. She felt sudden dizziness and began to fall backwards. Elijah grabbed her before her body could hit the floor.
"She is unwell again?" Elijah questioned Klaus.
"She took wolfs bane." Klaus said coldly his eyes fixated on Elijah's.
Klaus kicked the door into the Mikealson Mansion where Elijah laid Hayley on the dining table.
"Call Sophie now, she promised to protect Hayley!" Klaus spoke sternly. He bit into his wrist, blood spilled from his wrist. "Drink little wolf." He said pushing his wrist to Hayley's mouth and her eyelids began to flicker.
"Little wolf, tell me now, how much did you drink? Sophie will be here soon." Klaus' voice sounded so much more calm and caring than usual. Hayley tried to fight the feeling that he only cared about this baby. Not her.
"Like you care." She spat back at him with what energy she had left. Before Klaus could respond to her Sophie arrived with a herbal mixture and began to treat Hayley.
"This medicine will make her sick to her stomach, hopefully it will bring up the poison out of her body." Sophie announced.
"Elijah, go and hide the bodies from the Quarter before Marcel finds them I will stay here and take care for our defiant wolf girl and her feeble bodyguard of a witch. Not to mention our sister who cannot keep tabs on one girl." Klaus sounded angry and Elijah didn't dare to argue.
Elijah left as quickly as he could and Klaus made his way over to Hayley. "Will they both survive this?" Klaus uttered to Sophie.
"They should, this should work Klaus." Said Sophie trying to sound reassuring. Sophie fed the medicine to Hayley and asked Klaus to make her comfortable in a bedroom.
"I'll be back in the morning, call me if anything changes." Sophie said before leaving Klaus and Hayley alone.
Klaus scooped up Hayley who was almost limp in his arms and carried her to his bedroom. He laid her down on his bed before pulling up a chair and sitting beside the bed.
"I don't understand why you would do this, little wolf. I thought you wanted this baby. That day that we met, you said you were lonely and abandoned by family. You are my family now. I promise I will protect you and our child." Klaus said with a tear rolling down his cheek. He had wished that Hayley could hear him but he could never be this honest with her.
Hayley began to awaken, her eyelids felt heavy and her stomach pain was number. "Where am I?" she questioned.
"You are in my room Hayley" Klaus replied pulling his chair closer to the bed. "I fed you some of my blood it should help weaken your pain, you are to rest my little wolf. You and our child are going to be okay."
Hayley pondered the way he called her 'my little wolf' she was not his. He hadn't showed any interest in her, or their child but seemed angry when she admitted to taking wolfs bane. "Why do you care?" she questioned him again.
"Despite what you may think, I do care. I cannot let you die. Our child will need their mother." Klaus stated. "I doubt what type of father I will make, but that is a conversation for another time." He grabbed the side of her face and pulled it to face him. "You will sleep now my love." He compelled her. Before he could say anymore, Hayley's eyes began to close and he could feel her at peace.
He thought back to the first time they had met.
Klaus had arrived at the JJ's Bar, he had never been here before but it was half way between New Orleans and Mystic Falls, perfect for a quick drink to split up the trip ahead. He couldn't wait to return to his home of New Orleans after hearing the talk of how different things were and how Marcel had taken his place as King. He stepped inside and took a look around, he almost felt glad that he was wearing his favourite outfit, a pair of black skinny jeans, a plain white t-shirt and his treasured black leather jacket. He was surrounded by drunk women trying to get their Saturday night thrills, not that he needed an outfit to charm, and he could always compel them.
JJ's bar wasn't the nicest in town but for all he needed it for, it would do fine. Klaus hastily walked to the bar and ordered a double Macallan 25 whiskey, when he heard a woman to the left ordering the same. The common interest intrigued him. Klaus felt a smirk hit his lips as the bartender returned with his drink, he moved closer towards the brunette girl who was moving her finger along the rim of the glass in a repeated circle motion. She looked perplexed if not a bit sad.
"Don't see many woman ordering a Macallen 25, let alone a double." He spoke in an almost seductive voice.
"I'm sorry, I don't understand the question." She replied very hostile.
"The name is Klaus. Klaus Mikealson." He tried to sound a little less seductive offering his hand as a peace offering.
"You're telling me that you are the Klaus Mikealson." She chuckled.
"Yes, my love. I am 'the Klaus Mikealson'. So you have heard of me?" he chuckled back.
"Every supernatural from here to New Zealand knows who you are, you're a legend where I come from, and not in a good way." She said so matter of factly.
"Why are you still talking to me then? Shouldn't you run for your life?" he questioned her.
"I am not afraid of you." Hayley stated, turning to look into his eyes. "I am not afraid of anyone."
Klaus felt an instant connection with this girl, she did not fear anyone and she seemed strong, much like him, and broken, just like him. She was a hidden beauty, she stared at her taking in her appearance.
Authors note –
I'm trying to show how Klaus does care for Hayley although he has a poor way of showing it sometimes.
You will get the rest of the flashback to their first meeting but I'd like to keep it an on-going thing rather than having to write a full-on chapter just about that. I hope you enjoyed a bit more of a Hayley/Klaus moment.
So I've actually put a lot of time and effort into trying to get 3 decent chapters of this story out in very little time. This is my first ever FanFic and I will not be updating as soon as I wanted to now because I haven't had any reviews or responses so I don't know where you want me to go with this story. So I'll probably be back in a 5-7 days with a new chapter. Please help me out guys.
