I'M SO SORRY FOR THE WAIT BUT A LOT OF THINGS HAPPENED PVER THE LAST FEW DAYS! Hopefully after two months wait that this is worth it.
PLEASE READ THE ANNOUNCEMENTS/QUESTIONS AT THE BOTTOM.
For the upcoming two week I hope to get at least 3 more chapters out 2 this week and one the following week.
Anyways Enjoy!
Hayden is the first to come back to the land of the living as the morning light shines through the crack in the curtains.
He doesn't move much waking up with an unfamiliar weight on top of him that he isn't used to. He looks down to see a girl, a very pretty girl there with sprawled blonde hair, now there's a sex head hairdo if he's ever seen one.
Rebekah is fast asleep in his arms, with a lingering smile on her face. Most likely from the night of passionate hot sex they just had.
Hayden takes in the view committing it to memory, and he has a lot of those that he clearly remembers from last night and…God are they so fucking awesome!
Especially the fact he is no longer a virgin, which brings a prideful smirk of satisfaction to his face. Just wait until Katherine hears this, oh yeah that'll be a good reaction to watch.
Hayden is brought out of his stray thoughts by the sound of light moans and some groans even, looking down to the naked blonde.
Rebekah shifts a few times before squinting her eyes letting out a small yawn, sitting up with her arms over her head giving a little morning stretch. Noticing Hayden already up and about. Looking at her warmly with a smile.
"Good morning, cutie blonde vampire." Hayden comments hitting things off with his usual snarky sense of humor.
This earns him an eye roll from Rebekah, but the good kind from those happy few who actually appreciate his quality humor in the morning or any time actually.
Rebekah smiles back, "Good morning Hayden, so did you enjoy last night?"
Hayden gives a sarcastic thought expression looking up as if he was actually thinking deeply about it. "On a scale of 1 to 10….I'd give it 100 plus, yeah that sounds about right." Hayden nods back to Rebekah trying to keep himself from laughing.
Rebekah doesn't bother trying to hold her's back though, and playfully nudges her bare arm against his, since they are still both buck naked.
"I'm starting to grasp the concept that no matter what, the time of day, or current hostility of a situation, you personality never falters." Rebekah complements.
Hayden shrugs, "That's who I am baby, and don't you forget it." He tells her smugly.
Rebekah brings out her own smug expression to match the rogue hybrid's. "I can assure you, your unique qualities far from forgettable." Rebekah looks down at the covers covering Hayden's crotch and grazes her hand on top tracing an outline over it before looking back up at Hayden who is slightly dazed at her touch it's almost enough to bring his manhood back to life. "Some more than others!" She hints with a waggle of her eyebrows and a sexy smirk getting her innuendo across.
Hayden tilts his head to the side, "Well what can I say, eating your vegetables really does make you grow." He guesses.
The blonde giggles at that.
Hayden's expression turns serious, "But seriously Rebekah, thank you for last night it really means a lot, like I've said before I may have been a virgin but I don't just give it away to the first set of silicone tits and altered ass that's looking to get some for kicks."
Hayden brings his hand to Rebekah, "If there's anyone I can trust it's you Rebekah Mikaelson, I want you to know that." He assures the blonde reaching out with his hand to brush a loose strand of hair back behind her ear which was glowing due to the sun's rays peeking though which only made her look that much more beautiful.
"If I may, I've been around a long time, not counting those many time Nik managed to plunge a dagger into me that is, and I have met suitor after suitor looking for the right match for me, and to no avail they let me down, but I think for once that my good fortunes have changed for the better!" Rebekah says sweetly with a very happy smile on her face.
Hayden already knew where this was going, he's seen enough Disney classics to know where this ends up, and honestly given their somewhat brief history together if it was any other reality he would be all for it.
Unfortunately though he couldn't identify it but if felt that somewhere deep down there was something jerking him back telling him to stop. As much as he didn't want to hurt her especially after last night, but like she said she's been through the cycle enough to know the ending and she didn't deserve that.
"Play with my hair?" She asks.
Letting her back press against his front, as Hayden digs his fingers into Rebekah's golden mane hearing her sighs of relaxation feeling the tension leaving her body with each of the hybrid's gentle strokes toying with her blonde locks twirling them around his fingers.
After a few more minutes of enjoy each others company they both sat and faced one another. That's when Rebekah noticed Hayden's disappointed look plastered on his features.
"What's bothering you, and don't bother to try and deny it with me, I'm good at reading people, remember?" She asks somewhat concerned.
Hayden looks down letting out sigh, oh boy don't screw this up Kerbex. "I don't want to put you in the position of having to choose between me or your family even Klaus believe it or not, only God knows why." He admits.
"But do take it from someone whose been in the worst place possible when it comes to family that as much as you think hating them or being angry will get ya, in the end don't make a choice that will leave you with guilt, make sure that you end things with them on a high note because you'll never know when the end will come, do you understand Rebekah?" Hayden asks her sincerely.
Rebekah has never seen Hayden like this before, and ironically having him telling her to choose her brothers over himself only makes his selflessness have her falling for him that much more.
Rebekah gives him a sweet smile bringing her hand to the side of Hayden's face and strokes back a loose strand of his dark hair back.
"Elijah talked to me last night and told me about the douchebags that have given you bad cases of heartbreak, and considering where we are right now I'd say this is quite the leap in a possible nonexistent relationship that we've got going on, however he was right about one thing. That I need to tread carefully, in the long run." Hayden explains.
He takes in a deep breath looking Rebekah right into those deep brown eyes of her's. "So, that's why I'd like to just stay good friends, because currently I'm on your bro's hit list and I don't think that Klaus finding out that I fucked his sexy badass sister who no doubt can take care of herself and then some, who also became my girlfriend in a nice little relationship….aside from the small moment of seeing him look like he's having a meltdown, still he'd probably tear the world apart until he finds my hide a second later." He summarizes bluntly.
That gets a laugh out of Rebekah who lightly yet playfully swats his shoulder.
"But, I'm serious though Rebekah, as much as I really want to take things to the next level…as far as a relationship goes that is because you and I both know that physically we sure as hell took things to the next level last night, no complaints whatsoever with that just for the record!" Hayden waggles his eyebrows suggestively with a dirty look at her.
"Unfortunately, taking a relationship…relationship on top of all the other shit going on right now in my slightly less miserable existence thanks to you, is that it just isn't in the cards for me, and that's the truth Rebekah!" Hayden admits. Slightly guilty but still hopefully he scored some points for bluntly if not brutal honesty.
Rebekah just sits there for a moment, with her face currently unreadable to Hayden who waits patiently for the blonde to decide whether or not to give him a woman's tough touch or not.
That's when the relieving smile grew on Rebekah's lips and widened. Well that's a good sign.
"You are a good man, Hayden Kerbex. I do hope that you find your true love one day." Rebekah softly whispers, bringing his face to hers where their lips meet in a happy, passionate, and blissful kiss.
When they break apart they both climb out of bed and get dressed. Hayden slips on his dress pants and torn shirt that is ripped thanks to Rebekah from last nights activities.
That's when something else came into Hayden's mind that he wanted Rebekah to know that might just make her day, hopefully.
Hayden snaps his fingers, "Damn it, I almost forgot!"
"What?" The blonde asks.
He looks to her, "How about I let you in on a little secret, your mom yanked me away last night and told me a fairytale about what I am, and why I can't be compelled…Apparently after your mom screwed nature over by cheating death and turning you and your brothers into the first vampires, considering Klaus is also part mutt for go with the fangs, nature wanted to create a counterbalance by creating a rare kind of werewolf that couldn't be sired to him that is as we call it these days, a 'lone wolf'. And even better a werewolf that if turned hybrid couldn't be compelled original vampires either, so in many ways I'm a rogue lone wolf that looks out for number one!" He finishes.
Rebekah on the other hand looks somewhat baffled and taken aback. Her mouth hanging opened slightly.
Hayden notices, "Um, you might want to close that, unless your switching to bug blood which I don't think you have a taste for."
Rebekah snaps out of her trance, shutting her mouth. "Sorry, I…so that's why Nik can't command you or compel you or myself and my other brother for that matter, correct?"
Hayden nods.
Rebekah absorbs that for a moment, then eyes him with an impressed look on her face.
"Well, as far as I know yeah Omega werewolf's are the wild cards in the supernatural world. Apparently, I'm the bird that nature flipped to Klaus when he became the original pain in the ass hybrid, so yes in that sense yes I can blame him for that, although I'm not really complaining, free will is the best kind of F.U. to someone like your bro, if you don't mind me saying?" Hayden comments.
Rebekah tilts her head sliding her slightly torn and wrinkled green ball dress back onto herself.
Hayden gives her a devilish grin, "What? Oh come on, you couldn't have waited a few more minutes before getting dressed, I mean I was really enjoying the view!" He complains halfheartedly with a suggestive expression that the blonde knows all to well.
Rebekah returns that look adjusting the top of her dress to cover up her bare chest.
Oh well, at least I'll still remember what they look like in my dreams. Hayden mentally notes.
Rebekah saunters up to him, putting her hands on his bare chest running them up his shoulders.
"Well, if you want to see any of that again, then all you need to do is just ask for more." She whispers seductively.
"Thanks for the advice, I'll be sure to follow it in the future." He counters.
"Well, I should probably get going." Rebekah suggests.
"At least allow me to walk you out, it's the gentlemanly thing to do."
They walk down the stairs and reach the front door, Hayden opens it to find Elena there staring at a shirtless Hayden and a messy head of blonde hair that belongs to one Rebekah Mikaelson.
"Oops." Is Hayden's only response, but he can't help but smile at Elena's reaction.
Rebekah hooks one of her newly polished fingernails under Hayden's chin bringing his lips to her in a quick kiss to get more of a reaction from Elena.
And she does as the expression on the doppelgänger's face goes from surprised to pissed.
With one last victorious smirk Rebekah walks out the door and is gone watching her ass sway from side to side through her dress.
A nice view indeed, too bad it's over too soon as Elena who has steam coming out of her nose drags Hayden by the arm back inside shutting the door behind her.
"Whoa, did your dog shit on your breakfast this morning again, ever heard of brunch maybe you should try it sometime." Hayden says sarcastically.
"Are you serious Hayden…her?!" Elena demands.
"It's none of your damn business, Elena." Hayden simply says turning his back and walks into the living room.
"She tried to kill me less than 48 hours ago!" Elena points out.
Hayden shrugs, "So, I think she had good reason to do that."
"Honestly, for once I agree with furry fangs, can we just move past that Elena?" The voice of Damon chimes in as he is buttoning his shirt walking into the room and right to his booze pouring himself a drink.
"Well, thank you very much for the support, Jack Daniels!" Hayden thanks.
Damon freezes up for a second catching the joke.
"Anytime, Bill Murray." Damon replies.
Hayden puts a hand over his heart, "Damon Salvatore, you have just made my day comparing me to a classic comedian, you do know Bill Murray is my inspiration, right?"
Damon takes a sip of his drink, "Oh no, you're just a poor knock off." He corrects.
"Well, you may have a point there, but considering all of the women you've slept with in the last century and a half I wouldn't consider you a knock off, I'd consider you a knock-up! If you get what I mean."
"You guys should know…that Esther's planning on killing her entire family. She's linked them all together with a spell. Whatever happens to one, happens to all of them." Elena says seeming rather hesitant to share the information.
"That's great, Klaus'll finally be dead, we win." Damon cheers.
Elena looks at him skeptically with a bit of guilt written on her face.
Damon quickly catches on as does Hayden, "Why do you look like someone who just shot a panda bear?" He asks.
"Because to kill Klaus, she has to kill all of them, including Elijah and he doesn't deserve this." Elena admits.
"Or Rebekah." Hayden mutters under his breath but Elena heard the hybrid good enough.
"It's a win-win!" Damon claims.
Elena turns to the door but it doesn't take a genius to find out where she could be going based on the look on her face.
Damon already vamp speeds around her blocking the doorway.
"Don't do anything to screw this up Elena, or you either Kerbex." Damon warns pointing to Elena and then to Hayden who looks rather passive and trying to look unsure as to what Damon means.
Damon gets this of course, "Oh come on, I know a sex-head when I see one I've had decades of experience, remember? Congrats by the way, finally got rid of the last part of you that was pure…and now your officially a cursed, impure, rogue, bloodsucking, dog!" Damon carelessly boasts raising his liquor glass with a fake smile.
"Plus, I can smell Rebekah's scent all over you, gotta say I'm not surprised, guess she got desperate enough for some action that she chose some easy prey, so I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't want her to die either so that you'd finally have a girl that would be willing to do you."
Hayden just returns the smile going along with this. "You know what Damon, you're right last night may have been my first go at getting wild with a woman, and there's no way I can compete with your experience, man just think about it, decades of girls compelled against their will and brainwashed to believe they actually enjoyed it with the legendary Damon Salvatore…damn! At least, I actually worked to earn the privilege to whip out my jackhammer and start banging away. Especially without having to cheat my way into their bras and panties like you do, but then again I think we both know what the alternative option is and since one hand is occupied with your booze, I guess the other one can give you what you need." Hayden finishes with a humorous smirk.
Both Elena and even Stefan who now makes his presence known, are failing to contain their snorting laughter.
"While it's hard to admit. He's right, Klaus has to die, they all do." Stefan interjects coming from around the corner.
Hayden scoffs. "Yeah, says who?"
Stefan looks to him, "Says us." He replies cooly.
Hayden marches up the steps and out the door before any of them can stop him.
The first place he was heading was home, sneaking in the back window and getting out of the tux and into a regular pair of jeans and a t-shirt with his favorite jacket.
He headed over to the Mikaelson mansion quickly thank god for vamp speed and practically busted down the door from knocking like his life depended on it, which is ironic because his life doesn't, but someone else's does.
The door opens and his face is met with Rebekah now dressing in a black leather jacket and red tank top with a t-shirt underneath or whatever.
"Rebekah, listen this is an emergency!" Hayden puffs out.
She give him an intrigued look, "Back for more already, I knew that men find me irresistible, but I didn't think you wanted me this bad." She teases.
"Ha ha, very funny for you have no idea how much I wish that was the case, sadly no this is worse, can I come in
"You've already been invited in remember?" Rebekah reminds the hybrid.
"Oh yeah, right. I guess sometimes moments of stress and urgency make me kinda an idiot." Hayden sheepishly admits.
Rebekah giggles.
Hayden's expression quickly fades and his demeanor turns serious again.
"But seriously though Rebekah this is important, like life or death important specifically for you and your brothers." Hayden emphasizes.
Rebekah pales at those words.
Hayden walks in as Rebekah shuts the door behind him.
"Hayden, what are you babbling about me and my brothers?" Rebekah asks the hybrid rather worriedly.
"What is that infernal banging that is monumentally irritating?" Elijah asks his younger sister coming down the steps dressed in his usual business suit or whatever his wardrobe is like.
Elijah notices Hayden, and looks confused, maybe even surprised. "Mr. Kerbex, how delighted to see you again, I do hope you enjoyed last night's events, despite my brother's bizarre attempt to ruin the evening, excuse my manners, but to what do we owe this current unexpected visit, if you don't mind my asking?"
Hayden takes a deep breath. Well their not going to like this but the sooner he gets this out of his system the sooner they can act.
Hayden proceeds to explain, what Elena told him and the Salvatore's. About Esther's little scheme to put them down through her current spell linking them together. The good ole' we all go out with a bang cliche.
Elijah seems to be taking this rather calmly for someone who just found out they are on a one way ride to the cemetery.
"What exactly inspired you to follow through with this act of giving us fair warning?" Elijah asks strictly.
Hayden raises his arms and shrugs before letting them fall back to his sides again. "Well, honestly it just gets to me when either good or bad someone is about to be killed or has the grim reaper hovering over themselves and not even knowing it or worse not even having a fair shot at fighting back for their own lives, you guys deserve that shot at least if nothing else compared to what the others think, I ain't thinking the same way."
Rebekah manages a smile, Elijah just nods.
Of course, Elijah went on about using Elena as a hostage to persuade Damon and Stefan to help stop Esther, despite Elena Gilbert being his former crush and a total bitch she doesn't deserve to be killed on sight. So Hayden managed to talk Elijah into letting him go with Rebekah to make sure he holds up his end of the deal as well as ensuring that he doesn't try to play the double-cross card which is a very bad move. Hey, just because he talks funny and acts like a fucking white knight doesn't mean he is one.
Hayden came down into the caverns and that's when he heard Rebekah taunting Elena who was somewhere, goddamn mazes! Eventually the rogue hybrid found the original and the doppelgänger. Rebekah holding a gas can and matches, with Elena herself soaked in gasoline.
"HAYDEN! Please help me!" Elena begs.
Hayden looks to Rebekah who stares back both having blank expressions.
"Sorry Elena you got yourself into this mess and now you can get yourself out." Hayden says carelessly.
Elena scoffs in disbelief. She never thought that Hayden would betray her for Rebekah.
"Why are you doing this Hayden, I thought we were friends and aren't friends supposed to have each other's backs?" Elena asks.
Even Rebekah, who is still holding the unlit match in her hand, turns her head to him awaiting a response.
It's Hayden's turn to scoff, well isn't this fucking typical it's the automatic response from anyone who labels themselves as the victim.
"That's rich coming from you Elena, are you so full of yourself that you can't see the truth?" Hayden asks slightly irritated.
Elena's response is a clueless gesture of her hands and a dumbfounded look on her face.
"What's that suppose to mean?"
Hayden groans, "I'll tell you what it means in basic terms since your IQ seems to have dropped quite a bit to figure it out for yourself, it means is that you see yourself at the center of everything, that only your happiness matters and because you've apparently 'lost so much' that it gives you the right to make yourself the Angel of death when choosing who gets to live and who dies, who's lives get love and happiness and which get ruined and destroyed, and whose turn it is to sacrifice themselves for you. Ever since Klaus came into the picture of all of our lives at first yeah what you did was right and justified because you considered others your friends your family and how it would affect them, but now I don't even recognize you anymore Elena, you only do what's best for you and to hell with the fuck ups that happen to the rest of us because of it." Hayden explains, although he does seem a little pissed getting into things.
Elena doesn't seem to agree though if the look on her face says anything. "That's not true Hayden, ever since Klaus came into our lives he's done nothing but have a hold over them, and you of all people should know that considering what he did to you." She points out which is a bad move apparently, because the look on Hayden's face goes from aggravated to 'you fucked with the wrong rogue hybrid'.
Pointing his finger at her, "FUCK YOU! You don't know shit about what that rabid egomaniacal cock/bloodsucking fucker did to me, and the fact that you think you do only proves my point that much more. Yeah, sure Klaus put me in the fucked up situation I'm in right now but I had as much of a choice as much as you think he forced me. Yeah sure when that rat bastard snapped my neck like a twig after giving me his blood and possibly AIDS since he's a man-whore, no offense Rebekah," Hayden quickly points to her she shrugs although she has to bit back her lip to keep herself from laughing. "Sure it seems what happened afterwards appears like there was no choice well in reality there was, I could've chosen to die, as much as you don't think death is a choice, well it is only thing is that it feels so scary and pointless that everyone sees it that way. Well Klaus tried to force me but the thing is I didn't gamble on becoming a hybrid because I wanted to live but because I didn't want to take away the hope that Tyler and Caroline had left, I did what I fucking did because I didn't want to see him go out without trying to give him hope that I could complete the transition into a hybrid. And I didn't want Caroline to have to watch Tyler being forced into something when there was another option." Hayden thoroughly explains.
Elena seems to be contemplating in deep thought.
Hayden also takes notice of this, "From that stupid look on your face I can tell you're starting to catch on. Yeah, so I think I'll keep going then just to make sure that narrow minded head of yours is torn wide opened some more. I did what I did when I first became a hybrid for my friends because I considered what they had to live for and their own lives compared to me, and trust me my life ain't really worth much and still isn't but doesn't mean I can't try and make a difference in others while I can. Or better yet, the current war you've got going on with Stefan and Damon setting them up against each other for your tiny winy heart and for what to do your dirty work at killing others and putting their asses on the line for yours and it doesn't seem like much from where I'm standing by the way. Point being like Katherine, you keep both of them fighting for you and you know you can choose one without hurting the other so instead you decide not to choose at all, which in reality is worse that choosing because Katherine as much as she's a ruthless and badass bitch you don't want to cross at least she had the decency of choosing one and was brutally honest with the other, because in that sense she didn't keep them going on with false hope. When comparing false hope with pure hope, the difference is in the end they realize that everything they did wasn't all for nothing rather than realizing that they were chasing after something that was never going to happen at all." The hybrid says.
Hayden jerks his thumb towards the blonde to his right, "Rebekah over here is another example, you think just because she's got blood on her hands in the past, because she's an original, and has a bunch of brothers that are psycho and killers means that she's one too and she'll never change and the moment you found out about Esther's twisted plan to kill her own kids trying to undo her handiwork that she shared with you, you were willing to stand right there and let her start their doomsday clock before it strikes their inevitable doom and lied to one straight in the face that had bailed you out of so many jams what was his name again Rebekah?"
"Elijah."
Hayden snaps his fingers with a nod, "Thank you very much, that's right Elijah honestly he kinda gives off a sort of Sherlock Holmes meets James Bond kind of vibe if you ask me, despite the overprotective brother act and snapping my neck to shut my ass up, he seems decent, and you Elena have kindly repaid his service by sentencing him to death, right?" He reiterates.
Elena can't believe what is happening, "I wanted to tell Elijah, Hayden but I couldn't because this is our chance to finally get rid of Klaus and get back our lives." She defends.
"You mean your life, because that's what it's about right getting back to your life, what you want!" Hayden claims.
"Right?"
Elena sighs. "Whatever you say Hayden, you know your being a total asshole right now, choosing the originals over your own friends."
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!!" Hayden bellows. Now this bitch has done it.
Elena jumps, at the rage clear on his face.
"I am not choosing shit over anything Elena, so don't go spittin out words like that unless you actually understand." Unfortunately his ranting was cut off by the sound of Rebekah's phone ringing.
"Hello brother, good news I hope?" She asks.
After a moment and a few "uh huh's" and pocketed her phone.
Rebekah looks to Elena, "You can come out now, seems your boys took care of the problem." She informs the doppelgänger.
"How did they do that?"
"Damon turned your witch friend's mother into a vampire." Rebekah answers.
Elena looks horrified. "What?"
Even Hayden seems to feel what's left of his heart go out to Bonnie and her mother, the bitch may have abandoned Bonnie from what he heard, still at the end of the day she's her mother, and ain't nothin ever gonna change that.
"Quite clever actually, they needed to sever the witch line, and well…you can't be a witch and a vampire." Rebekah explains seeming rather amused.
"In any case, you're free to go."
"Oh and, by the way…I do prefer taking my time watching you suffer, it's much more satisfying." Rebekah notes.
"I'll say, like I said someone has to pay the price for you Elena, this time it was Bonnie and her mother…I wonder who it'll be next time?" Hayden asks before heading off with Rebekah.
He heard that Bonnie and her mom were over at Caroline's house since her being a vampire and all…someone needed to help her with the transition into her fangs. Since Damon isn't an option since he's the one who turned her, and Stefan is kinda in the same boat being his brother and all, and himself well…yeah not really much of a coach when it comes to supernatural bullshit. Which leaves the only other vampire who can walk Bonnie's mom through the basics, Caroline.
As much as Hayden could've vamp sped to Caroline's house he thought it was best to walk so he'd have time to think about what the hell he was going to say and how he was going to get his ass outta there in a hurry if things went sideways and Bonnie decided to hex his ass since he was the one who decided to spill the beans to Elijah, Rebekah, and the rest of the originals about what was going to go down.
He knocked on the door a few times and waited, the door opened and he came face to face with Caroline who was wearing a black tank top and looked rather down, yet totally in the right place.
"Hey Caroline, is Bonnie and her mom here?"
Caroline let's out a deep breath, "Yeah, Abby's in transition right now and Bonnie she's…." Caroline hesitates. Hayden knows all he needs to from the fact she can't finish that sentence.
Hayden gives a sigh or regret himself. "She's that bad, huh?" He asks.
Caroline just nods in response.
"Look I know I'm the last person that she wants to see right now, but…" Hayden starts indicating what he wants to do.
"Of course, actually between you and me it's Elena that is the last person Bonnie needs to see right now, Hayden." Caroline admits.
He runs a hand through his hair has he enters the house with Caroline shutting the door behind him.
"Yeah well, if it wasn't for me running my goddamn mouth to Rebekah and her brother then Bonnie and her mom would have never been put in that position, guess you were right big fucking heart, can't fucking stand to watch someone be murdered and not even having the right to fight for their life." Hayden chastises.
"That's why we love you, your a big softie, our softie." Caroline teases playfully swatting his arm with her fist.
However, a quick glare from Hayden sets her expression straight again.
"Where is she?" He asks.
Caroline shifts her head towards her bedroom.
Hayden makes his way towards there, each step feeling like he's walking towards his death by witches.
When he rounds the corner, the sight…let's just say it isn't one that you want to walk in on every day. Abby was laid out on the bed face up, and Bonnie sitting in a chair holding her mother's hand. Her face broken with streaks of dried tears.
An all too familiar pain assaults Hayden's chest more specifically his heart. The same pain he felt when his own parents and sister were found dead in that wreck. He can only begin to imagine how she must be feeling right now.
Of course Bonnie claimed that she didn't blame him stating that 'you are who you are' and then of course as expected came
Elena who was actually not allowed in and of course blamed Hayden who was present. But that was understandable, after making sure everything was alright with Bonnie and Caroline, he went home.
As usual he sneaks into his grandma's house through the window and is surprised to find a envelope with his name on it. He opens it up to find a letter inside and reads it.
Dear Mr. Kerbex,
Please forgive my unannounced departure, but circumstances have forced my decision to leave. In the brief amount of time that we have been acquainted I have gotten to see more about the mystery that is Niklaus' so called 'Rogue Hybrid'. Dare I say you have much more selflessness, nobility, and valor than you let others to believe, including yourself. I have seen that there is a rare and delicate, yet wonderful balance of lightness and darkness within you that is constantly battling for your heart and soul. That you are a mere mediator in the face of conflict, and somehow manage to remain neutral and choose both and neither friend and foe. Don't let anyone or anything change who you are, you have a heart with a capacity for great love, don't let it go to waste, and please take care of my sister, watch out for her, and be there for in her times of need when she has no other to turn to, I have faith in you Hayden, don't prove me wrong.
Sincerely,
Elijah Mikaelson
Hayden folds up the letter. Damn, well someone sure has a hell of a hobby practicing poetry.
Everything around the hybrid fades away as Hayden goes into deep thought. Believe it or not he thinks he finds Elijah almost about as good a judge of character as Rebekah is…possibly a tad bit better even, don't tell Rebekah though she might get jealous.
Although, Armani with fangs does have a point and as much as Hayden hates to admit it to himself. Guess some people can see through the smokescreen of all that bullshit that he puts up around himself.
But one thing for certain is that right now going anywhere but Mystic Falls exactly is not a good idea seeing as the originals ain't out of the woods yet seeing as they are still linked together. Which means trouble, the kind of "You're Fucked!" Trouble that he doesn't like but then again it's a good kind of adrenaline rush for him.
Hayden's next move is taking out his phone and dialing Katherine.
After a moment she answers the line. "Where the hell have you been I've been waiting to hear back from you forever, what's going on?" Katherine asks on the other end of the line.
"Yeah, well a lot of shit's been happening that you wouldn't know about and the large chunk of it I doubt that you'd actually care about, still there is some things you should know and I'll explain it when we're somewhere alone but for right now I do know one thing." Hayden replies.
"What's that?" Katherine asks.
"I'm gonna be sticking around for a little while longer, and it looks like I'm in for one helluva ride!"
AGAIN I AM SO SORRY FOR THE WAIT!!! I did say that while I was on my two week break before next semester I would crank out as many chapters as possible but can you blame me for wanting to do other things as well.
Originally this chapter was supposed to be bigger as well as my plan being to have two chapters posted this past week but I had to help my sister move into her new dorm, and my uncle unexpectedly asked me to go on a three day fishing trip with him and my cousins so I didn't get a chance to finish this chapter the way that I wanted to but I wanted to stick to my promise at least 1 get chapter out this week.
ALSO QUESTIONS/ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR FOLLOWERS: Since this story is doing so well I would like to ask the followers who are willing to respond or comment for some feedback on how they think the story is going and what they want to see, so please respond to the following questions as references for future chapters:
1)Firstly, for this next/last week I have off my goal is to get 2 other chapters posted one on Wednesday or Thursday and the other on Saturday or Sunday and another by the end of the following week September 3rd.
So my question is how quickly I get the chapters done depends on how long the chapter currently is which is around 3-5k a chapter so do you my followers want Quality or Quantity for future chapters?
Quality: Basically the length of the chapter do you want chapters that are longer, have more details, or have higher word counts?
Or
Quantity: Which means more chapters posted frequently that are shorter that are between 1-3k words?
2)Secondly, as far as the plot goes are you liking the flow of the story overall, or feel there's a certain lack of certain character's namely Katherine, because I promise there will be more of her and Hayden in the next 1-2 chapters after the first one posted this upcoming week?
3)Thirdly and lastly, for any of those who believe that Hayden and Rebekah may get together in the future they will, but not in a relationship and I also apologize for anyone who is rooting for them. Hayden is in love with Katherine and just doesn't know it yet…or maybe it's the other way around?
P.S. I also found out the Vampire Diaries is leaving Netflix so there might be a slight delay in updating for September but I heard HBO Max is getting it instead.
Again please leave your comments in general I could use a bit of opinion and criticism from the audience that's following along.
Until next time.
