Authors Note - I am incredibly sorry, I never abandoned this story, my life just became overbearing with my boyfriend being in hospital over a new year and my Husky being put down last month. I hope you don't mind but I have changed Jackson's appearance to resemble my husky. I also wrote this entire chapter on my phone so if there are any major mistakes that will be why.
So this chapter is in memory of my dog written in Hayley Marshall's POV. There's also a plot twist.
Hayley's POV-
It had been 2 weeks since we'd moved into the Plantation and I'd been left on my own most of the time apart from one werewolf who had been compelled to protect me.
I awoke in my room alone with the guard no doubt waiting outside. I opened my eyes and rolled over to my bedside cabinet to get out my journal and write about the last few weeks I've had.
Elijah had seemed distant since a loud argument I'd ever heard with Klaus. I couldn't understand what his problem was. Rebekah had been shopping for maternity clothes for me despite the fact I was barely showing. Klaus had just been doing his usual: Killing, drinking and arguing with anyone who doesn't share the same opinion.
The plantation was rugged on the outside but had been renovated on the inside. Apple trees were grown for miles around and mostly secluded meaning I was able to take long walks around the ground on certain days.
I noticed a wolf has been watching me, I can see its eyes piercing through the dark parts of the forest. One eye was the brightest of blue and the other a chocolate brown. Their fur was a beautiful grey and white with the most perfect markings I'd ever seen. Although I hadn't seen very many wolves in my life, my adolescence had been spent in and out of foster care homes because nobody wanted the troublesome Hayley Marshall living under their roof, even if they were getting paid for it.
Hell, I didn't even know I was a wolf until Sophie came to me around a month ago. She changed my whole perspective on life and now I feel lost and confused. Although things started to make sense now, I had always struggled with my temper maybe that was the inner wolf. Who knows? Maybe that's why Klaus had a foul temper? I shook my head and tried to forget about Klaus.
Until I found him knocking on my door.
'How about a walk my little wolf?' He said his lips curling at the edges.
I guess my legs could do with a stretch. I nodded in his general direction and swung my legs over the side of the bed and stood up. I was wearing a tank top and a pair of pyjama shorts when I caught Klaus looking in my direction, his eyes widened fixating on the tiny baby bump that had begun to form.
'I'll leave you to get ready, meet you by the front door.' Klaus announced before leaving at vamp speed.
I quickly threw on a sweater and some jeans that would hide the bump that seemed to scare Klaus off. I wondered what he wanted to talk to me about as I doubt he wanted to give me a tour. I knew my way around now anyway. I met Klaus by the door when he nodded at my bodyguard to leave us.
'I suppose you are aware Little Wolf that a war is coming.' Klaus started the conversation.
I muttered that I hadn't heard.
'I would like it if you are not involved, I don't want to risk our child here... being hurt. But I wish to know how good your self-defence is?'
'My self-defence?' I almost stuttered. I looked at him for a reply that didn't appear to be coming. 'I can't fight.'
'Of course, you can, you're a cresent wolf, you are strong. I guess you'll have to be to carry our child.' Klaus said.
We continued to walk in almost silence apart from small chit chat and I realised I had to tell someone but not Klaus, I couldn't tell Klaus.
After our walk, the rest of the day flew by and I had spent most of it alone, apart from my wold bodyguard. I decided to take a trip to Elijah's room, not knowing whether he would be there or not. I stepped into the door without thinking to knock. Elijah's room was dark except for the light of the moon peering in through his balcony, I could see his silhouette sat on a chair next to a table with a glass on it. His hand was around the glass, presumably, it was blood in the glass.
In the whole time, I'd known Elijah I had never seen him drink blood. He wasn't like his sibling's, Elijah was always really well groomed and security in the sense, that he was never seen doing vampire acts.
'Hayley, you shouldn't be in here.' He announced without even turning to acknowledge my presence.
'I. I just wanted to talk to you.' I stuttered.
'Well, you best come and sit then.' He stood up and took my hand leading me to sit on the end of his bed which I hadn't noticed before. We sat on the end of his four-poster bed before I could muster up the courage to open my mouth, Elijah asked me if anything had happened with Klaus.
'No, no nothing has happened, but I fear something will.' I said crossing my legs.
'Tell me, Hayley, I can protect you but I need to know what is wrong? Is something wrong with the baby?' He spoke with a voice that made me hands stop trembling.
'No the baby is fine. It's me, Elijah. You all keep saying I'm a wolf, I didn't know I was a wolf until Sophie came to me.'
'But you've turned Hayley, surely you must have noticed.' He sounded confused.
'Elijah, I never killed anyone. I did my research you have to kill to trigger your curse, I never killed anyone. I won't kill someone.' I felt myself breaking down into tears. I looked up at Elijah who didn't seem shocked by my news. He put his hand on my back and tried to comfort me.
'We have to tell Niklaus.' He announced.
I didn't speak and trusted his instinct.
Elijah had led me to Klaus' room where I waited outside patiently waiting for Elijah to tell me to come in.
I entered the room to see Klaus pacing back and forth.
'I demand to know this instant, why I am being summoned for a chat in the middle of the night.' Klaus almost shouted.
'Klaus, I'm not a wolf.' I grasped my hand over my mouth the minute I ended my sentence, why did I just blurt that out?
'Don't be ridiculous, we've all seen your crescent birthmark. You are cresent wold, whether you like that or not, is just unfortunate. Why Elijah is this urgent news? This is absurd, you've stolen me away from my prior.. activities for this nonsense.' Klaus bellowed out. I couldn't speak so I just stood looking at Elijah hoping he could do the talking from now on.
'It's true Niklaus, Hayley is a Crescent wolf but she has never triggered the curse.' Elijah started to walk slowly towards Klaus leaving me almost alone on the other side of the room.
'We can change that, have Henry bring the girl a local.' Klaus said with a smile.
'I don't wish to trigger the curse Klaus, I don't want to be a murderer.' I found my voice again.
'You can not seriously believe that you will be able to bear my child without being a wolf at least. This is ridiculous.' He seemed to be getting stressed out and ran his hands through his dark blonde hair.
Elijah told me to go to my room and stay there, despite the fact I didn't like taking orders, I didn't want to witness the wrath of Klaus.
I returned to my bedroom and I could hear both Elijah and Klaus' voices getting louder and louder until eventually, I must have passed out on my bed.
'Hayley, you must drink this.' I heard before from a familiar voice, I opened my eyes to see Klaus leaning over me, he seemed much calmer than before.
I took the glass in his hand and downed the lot before turning to ask what it was.
'My blood. I think you will need it if you're going to carry my child, it will keep you healthy and safe in case anything happens.' He said with a generous smile.
'Why didn't you tell me earlier? Why hadn't I noticed this? I never saw you for the real you, not even on our first night together.' Said Klaus.
I gulped and closed my eyes, please don't talk about that night. I didn't know how to act around Klaus, sometimes he made me feel safe and overtimes he made me feel frightened. I did find him attractive but I tried to resist that. He was a psychopath or at least that's what everyone thought of him.
Author's Note – Don't know how you feel about that but Please let me know your thoughts and hopefully there will not be a massive break in my next chapter! Hope you're all having a brilliant 2019!
