Hayley Pov :
Hayley was sitting on one of the couch's in the Library with Davina How looked like she was in Là Là land , she was Fluttering from one Shelf to the other taking Tombs out to inspect them before returning them to Their place .
Hayley sat watching her with amusement it was like seeing her Daughter when she return Home from the school she will Go to the library seeking true Useful Knowledge as she dubbed it , with Handy spells and Real magic not the watered down version Alaric and Carolina are selling for their Daughters and other kids .
" That is not Magic Mom " . Hope will protest with a huff everytime she asked her about her magic lessons at the school . " everyone knows that the Real powerful Grimoire are with Bonnie Bennett who will burn them before landing them to Anyone who may have the slightest chance of misusing them which in her opinion is practically everyone " .
Hope will then Roll her eyes and huff . " that why i can wipe the floor with all of them without even trying " . then she will use her big blue eyes and her cutest pout to beg , " can't i stay here with you and auntie ? , i can learn magic from her and Vincent and Go to Normal high school " .
Hayley will always sigh and hug her apologies and explain for the hundred time . " i want you to stay with me , i hate every second away from you . but i want you to enjoy your childhood be the kid that you are , that why i keep sending you to that school because its the normal for kids like you . Baby promise me you will Remember that you are not anyone and you are very special . you are wonderful and perfect and i want you to have everything that we never had " .
Hope will still pout but will Relent minute later and demand they go to her favorite eatery or go to the Quarter to shop for Books and trinkets .
She was brought back from her bittersweet memories by Davina's who sat on the couch beside her , Hayley smiled at her and asked teasingly . " find something you like ? " .
Davina's beamed and answered . " yeah , practically the entire Room " .
Hayley Giggled mirthfully , " i guessed as much from your Bright face and squeals " . she traded her again .
Her smile fell and she looked at the younger girl eyes and could easily see the Wariness Fear curiosity and Hope as she examined her nervously , she feels for this Davina's how many times has she looked onto her mirror to see this exact look but instead of Hope and Curiosity she will see pain , Despair and self-hatred .
Live was never Good to her from her early childhood to her late teen if she is not out surviving on the street then she is pouncing from one foster Home to another either being abused or waiting to be send back when she was found lacking .
She always found herself lacking and her foster guardian never parents do at the end , she never smile always disrespectful and buying her temperat was always a problem or she hate the activities they demand she participate in so she can fit the mood of their ideal daughter , she admit that some of them weren't that bad and she enjoyed them but she still protested and obtained on principle she wanted someone to like her as she is not for what they want her to be .
" Go a head and ask , i won't bit you " . Hayley urged the young witch with calm expression .
Davina's blushed and palmed the Grimoire in her hand as she asked nervously , " was i that obvious ? " .
" a little bit " . Hayley replied with a gesture of her thumb and index fingers and a wink .
" if I'm that obvious , then you don't need me to ask you can just answer me " . Davina's challenged her defensively , finally back to her normal confident self instead of the shy awkward teen she has been all day .
Hayley looked from her to the shelf behind them and run her hand through her curls , " let me guess , Kol spilled the Bean's and told you about me " . she stated with a him .
Davina shoke her head a little Guilty for getting Kol in trouble , " no no , he just ... He told me that you are the Reason that they are helping me not just killing me to subvert the Witch's and Marcel " .
Hayley nodded in understanding and proceeded to answer the unasked Question . " I won't lie to you and insult your intelligence by claiming that I don't have a selfish reason to help you , you are sixteen not stupid " . Davina beamed at her words , she knew that Davina is used to being underestimated and patronized for her age no matter how powerful and dangerous she is the only ones to Treat her as an adult is her and Klaus .
Hayley continued seriously , " you more than anyone should understand how dangerous this city is , I want a save Home for my daughter a Home she can grow up Happily and safely . you know what Klaus is , My daughter is more special than him . she is what Witch's vampire and Werewolves fear the most , someone who can unit them all " .
" I want to end the war and blood in this city , so not only my child but all other children will have a childhood . I want to help you not only for my child but for me I know what it's like to be alone afraid and chased to have monsters out for your live , at first o have no one it was me against the world I fought I survived , picked up the pieces and moved on to the next lead the next fight " . Hayley explained with a sigh .
Davina's eyes brightened with understanding with Relief she can read the desperation and happiness in finding a kindred soul someone who had experienced similar hardship and who she can go to for advise or just to listen .
" You are like me , you suffered and will still suffer . I want to help you because you don't deserve this , and I know that once you are out of the Witch's control I can trust you to help me save and protect the other children here to make a change in this graveyard of a city " . Hayley stated Truthfully .
Davina pierced her lips for a few minutes thinking over her world , " I understand , I think I can get behind that . I want to help others and stop the Ancestors from destroying others lives like mine " .
Hayley smiled and Nodded at her in relive and happiness , " partner's it is , I know that with Kol help and with your talent and smarts you can become a force to be reckoned with . one day you will have a voice in this city not as the harvest witch but as Davina Claire , Who knows you may even become the next elder or Regent " . Hayley Teased the Witch with a grin that she returned .
" you know once upon a time when I used yo the think the world of Agnes and the other covens elders I dreamed of growing up and being just like her , powerful steadfast and protect and look after the coven " . Davina confessed with bitter laugh , " your words now Reminded me that there is more than me , that my coven is being lead by a Ruthless and heartless killer's who will sacrifice anything and everyone for power that I won't be the last harvest witch , there will be others after me " . Davina stated with angry and sad eyes .
She took a deep breath before shooting her tiny smile , " thank you for reminding me that I'm not the only one suffering in the world , for assuring my survival and for reminding me that I can dream and maybe one day make a change " . she whispered gratefully , Hayley took her hands in hers and squeezed softly .
" it will be fine , I won't let the Ancestors harm you nor will Kol and we are the most stubborn people you will meet . from now on you are family and I always protect my family " . Hayley promised her sincerely .
Davina squeezed her hands back and smiled back at her her eyes bright and Hopeful . " thank you " . she whispered gratefully .
Just then Rebekah walked in with a smile with Lucille pushing a trolley behind her , " no more chick flick , as cute and sweet as this moment is let's talk about something else other than Witch's " . Rebekah trilled with a smirk as she sat elegantly a Cross from them .
Hayley let go of Davina's hands and smirked at Rebekah " like what ? " . she demanded curiously .
" like how tomorrow is the Casket girl celebration , which has a special place in my heart's , and what you will wear for the festival ? " . Rebekah answered with a giddy smirk .
Davina's eyes widened , " wait , the festival is tomorrow ! , and would I be aloud out the compound ? " . she asked the Blonde vampire eagerly .
" of course you can go out no one will date touch you as long as we are with you " . Rebekah assured the younger girl with a sympathetic smile .
" why is this festival so special to you ? " . Hayley asked Her daughter aunt with a proud smile , she can't help but feel proud of how after centuries of Bloodlust and enemies Rebekah still has a big part of her compassion and kinds in her buried deep and shielded by bitterness anger and disappointment but it doesn't change that Rebekah is a kind and loving woman by nature .
Rebekah brightened and started the tall of how she has saved the first casket girls who were attacked by bandits on their journey to new Orleans , the werewolf and the witch listened to her tale as they enjoyed their afternoon tea and snacks enthralled by the stories of the past that Rebekah didn't mind sharing .
After their afternoon snacks Davina was absconded to one of the drawing Rooms on the second floor that Kol has designated as her Training and learning Room and the two went on for their lesson .
Hayley Returned to her Room for a nap , leaving Rebekah with Finn who joined them half way through their tea party and joined in listening and questioning Rebekah about their life in new Orleans a century before .
She opened the doors of her Balcony letting the sun and the noises from the French quarter lull her to sleep .
Klaus Pov :
Klaus looked at the nervously pacing Witch infront of him with a smirk , he was sitting on the empty bar at the closed restaurant .
" let me rephrase this again , you have Davina in your clutches ... " . Sophie asked curiously .
" as my guest actually " . Klaus corrected her as he took a deep sip from his scotch .
Sophie shoot him a sarcastic look but continued with a nod , " as a guest , why aren't we doing the Ritual yet ? " . she asked him with a frustrated shout .
It was his turn to shoot her a derisive and meaningful look . " correct me if I'm wrong , but don't you need another important requirement for the Harvest like an elder ? " . he retorted with a raised brow .
Sophie pointed at him and hissed , " you said you will make me an elder that we will finish the Ritual " .
Klaus sent her a quailing Dark look and smirked to him self when she blanched and shuddered in fear he could see and smell the fear and terror that overwhelmed all her other emotions . " watch it witch I may need an elder but it doesn't have to be you , use that tone with me again and I will dispose of you faster than you can say harvest " . he threatened the witch with a sweet smile , she hurried to Nodded in understanding .
He finished his drink in one gulp , and decided that he has enough of the witch . " we are searching for a strong witch that you can consecrate and channel , keep you head down and your ears open and watch out for your friend Sabine she is work for no one but herself , she is fixated on the Harvest more than even you she want that power until we know for what keep her on the dark but don't ostracize her " . he ordered and threatened at the Same time .
Sophie's eyes widened and she spluttered in disbelieve , " you can't be serious ... This is Sabine , absentminded party loving rarely serious Sabine , she doesn't have it in her to plot anything Machiavellian as sabotaging the Harvest " .
Klaus Rolled his eyes at her nativity or stupidity in this case , how can she who has the gal and cunning to lure and threaten Hus family with the help of other Witch's believe that they don't have a motive of their own in helping get ? , " not everyone in this city care about the dead harvest Girls , frankly you are the only one who does . I don't see the two other girls families railing to help or trying to bring them back " . he stabbed with a smirk and she winced in anger and pity for the two young Witch's .
His smile widened at the way blood left her face and the trembling of her Lash's and lips with suppressed tears . " face it Sophie , you are alone in this . what the other Witch's care about is their power , it won't matter to them if the harvest girls never returned as long as they have their powers , and if they became elders they can channel the harvest powers and may even become regent in time " . he whispered poisonously making sure to put on a sad and pitying smile and channelling Elijah to warp the witch to his way make her distrust anyone but him .
" power is a temptation that can't be overlooked or passed over , Sabine want power for herself or others it doesn't matter , what matter is do you trust anyone else with the Ritual ? " . Klaus continued calmly .
Sophie's eyes glazed with doubt and thought and after a moment she shook her head , " no , you ... You are right I don't trust anyone else with this , I will wait and I won't let Sabine suspect anything " .
Klaus nodded solemnly , smiling to him self in satisfaction the moment she gave him her back and went to the Kitchens . " oh , and I will be ordering six Large Gumbos , Hayley has being craving it all day " . he ordered and Sophie nodded with a smile .
" how is she and the baby doing ? " . she asked politely .
Klaus glared at her threateningly , " as will as can be expected , nowthat they are out of your control . but if I'm you I won't be showing myself infront of her anytime soon she will tear you to pieces " . he informed and the witch grimaced at his words , which were true he had seen the Bodies of the witch Hunter's she killed , she disposed of them efficiently and skillfully he would have loved to see her in flight and plan to see her in one and maybe even train her after Hope birth .
now that she is entangled with his family , and so closely too . she will need all the training she can get maybe he will even convince her to turn into a Hybrid , she will make an enthralling and spectacular immortal with her fiery personality her fierce and protective nature and fighting spirit all the while as merciful as she is ruthless she was born to be a Queen he had known from the moment he meet her that she was like him a fighter , and once he met her again in new Orleans she proved to be more than that she has the confidence poise and breed of Royalty in her stunning features and captivating presence and he was proven Right .
She will make a powerful Queen and Wonderful mother of that he was certain and if he can't convince her to be immortal immediately after Hope birth he can have a witch spell her a moonlight ring like Cary and take his time changing her mind he thought with a devious smirk , he will never let her slip away or die she mean too much to his family to die .
" I will stir clear from her then " . Sophie noted with another grimace .
Klaus smirked and took the take away bags and left with a final quip . " those are the smart words that came out of you all day " .
He ignored the disgruntled and amused grumbling of the witch and stirred his car to the direction of the Compound .
When he returned he handed the bags to Kate who took them to Heat them and plate them he had stopped at famous bakery in town to Buy Hayley some Éclair's , he was planning to take her to dietist she wasn't putting any weight and has been more and more lethargic and tired .
Maybe he should take her to the Obstetric after lunch , he had planned to take her after the Ritual but had to put it off for other pressing matters like stripping Marcel powers .
With a plan for the evening already in place he made his way for Hayley's Room to check on her and have her prepare . he went in after he knocked and she didn't answer to see her napping on the rocking chair by the Balcony relaxing onto the fluffy pillows and unbothered by the sun rays filtering through the white curtains .
His lips lifted in unconscious smile and tension left his Body at seeing her so peaceful and the Serene expression on her face , he stepped silently from her Room to the Balcony and knelt by her his hand brushed her womb reverently and his smile widened his hand moved from her womb to her face and brushed her smooth cheek as he called her softly . " wake up little wolf " .
Hayley Groaned and brushed his hand off as she turned her face away , Klaus Chuckled mirthfully and called again , " Hayley , Hayley at least move to bed " .
When she didn't even stir he tried again , " wake up sweetheart , I brought you the Gumbo you demanded " . he called her tantalizingly , and his chuckle turned to a deep laugh as Hayley sat up straight and her eyes flow open . " My Gumbo ! " . she question sleepily .
Klaus shoulders shoke hard and his face reddened from his laugh as he pointed at her half alerted half sleepy begging face and whizzed . " God above , you are something else " .
" My Gumbo !? " . Hayley whined with a pout , and he bite his cheek to suppress his laugh but couldn't stop his chest and shoulders from heaving .
He cupped her shoulders and helped her up as he guided her to the Dinning Room , " I will lead you to it then , oh fierce alpha of the crescent moon pack " . he sneakered and didn't stop even when Hayley gaped at his kidney with her elbow .
As he sat in the Dinning Room with all his family San Elijah and with Marcel and Davina enjoying the Gumbo and his sister and Hayley ecstatic sighs and moans and Battling Laughter with Kol who was threatened with pain by Davina if he opened his mouth at all . it reminded him of blissful times of his childhood on the Rare times both his parents were absents and will leave them and the property under Finn supervision .
he couldn't help but bask on the wormth and happiness he was feeling at the moment at the utter contentment . a century ago he was sitting on this dining Room alone bitter and empty even with his family in the same house , but now he felt like he had his family his Home with him which he hadn't felt for more than eight centuries .
As he looked at all his family around him he couldn't help but smile in bliss and

Hayley changed into white crochet tank top and black skinny jeans and a Jeans jacket she meet Klaus down stairs and the two moved to his car , she had been surprised when Klaus had taken her arm after lunch and stopped her from joining the Rest of the family in the parlour , he told her to be ready for her first real ANC appointment .
She has Been both shocked and delighted and hurried to get ready for her meeting with Dr. Carla Hansen who is supposed to be the best of the best or so he learned .
As Klaus pulled his car infront of a two floor building that House only the clinic , she took a deep breath and let it out after ten seconds and opened the door she made her way inside the clinic as they made their way to the receptionist she looked around at the carefully and professionally decorated clinic .
Klaus smiled at the receptionist and greeted the older woman amiably , " good evening Ma'am , we have an appointment at Five with Dr. Hansen " .
The woman smiled and she didn't even look down at her computer to check as her eyes glazed a clear indication of compulsion , " of course sir , if you and your wife will follow me . Dr. Hansen has Been waiting for you " .
Hayley glared at Klaus and hissed in disbelieve and amusement , " wife !? , what the hell ! " .
Klaus smirked as he flung his arm around her shoulders and the two followed the poor receptionist , " what else did you expect Darling , Remember . you are Mrs . parker . we are immortal love we can't leave any tracks of you or Hope in the system , and if anyone come sniffing after us they won't find anything " . he explained calmly .
Hayley nodded in understanding , " you are Right " . she turned to him with a nervous look . " Klaus I'm nervous ... Like hell nervous " .
Klaus smiled down at her and squeezed her shoulder , " it will be fine Hayley , think of it like fight and the Dr as an enemy you have to socialize with for half an hour " . he suggested with a playful him .
She let out a breathlessly laugh as she replied amusedly , "I usually end up hitting my enemies with something over the head more often than talking with them ... But thanks for the distraction " . she finished Gratefully .
The two greeted the rotund blond middle aged woman who smiled calmly at them , Hayley relaxed at the seat across from the doctor with Klaus in the seat beside her , she Answered all of the Dr questions as she established a medical History for her .
Beside her Klaus was taking his foot in the floor tensely and she marveled at how his face and body relaxed into a calm polite expression , if not for the fast tap of his right feet she would have been fooled .
Dr Hansen was the optimum of professionalism as she took her Blood pressure and run her Blood sample in the lab in the first floor and finally they reached their most awaited for part , the ultrasound .
She lied nervously in the medical couch and lifted her tank top as the Dr ordered , Klaus moved to stand at her left side both of their eyes focused on the ultrasound screen even thought it isn't turned on , Dr Hansen cloned her lower abdomen with a wet tissue before applying the gel then she moved the wand around trying to locate the Baby she stopped at something and her smile widened .
She looked between her and Klaus before pointing to a tiny little round thing , when she focused the picture she and Klaus both gasped at the tiny little fetus .
Dr Hansen started to inform them both , " look closely yourfetusis around 5.3 inches tall .They will weigh roughly 2.5 ounces we usually call it the lemon or avocado stage , it ...oh it's a she my congratulations you are having a very healthy daughter " .
Hayley beamed tearfully at her before her yes moved to Klaus who didn't notice her his eyes were captivated by their Hope tiny image in the screen he had a soft and glazed look to his eyes like he lost all senses , she tool his hand in hers and squeezed them Reassuringly he teared his eyes away with difficulty and smiled at her with bright smile that nearly blinded her .
He gulped and squeezed her hand back before the two turned back to the Doctor who pressed a Button and the sound of Hope heartbeats filled the Room , it was a music to her ears and Klaus squeezed her hand harder his eyes still on Hope and she could have sworn that she had witnessed the man beside her fall in love .
It was clear in his eyes and expression how Happy and longing he felt for their child , it's the same expression he would have whenever he entered Hope nursery when she was sent away with Rebekah .
" her heartbeats are strong , and she is following the normal growth rate for her age , there are no outward signs of deformation or any problems would you like to see her face ? " . Dr . Hansen asked with a smirk .
" please " . Klaus whispered hoarsely .
The Good Dr smiled and showed them , they saw a tiny human face with open eyes moving slowly and blinking a thumb was near her mouth and the two Gasped .
" as you can see in this age your baby became sensitive to the light she can move her eyes little , and here the thumb sucking habit has already started " . Dr Hansen explained , and the two listened rapturously and sighed in disappointment when Hope closed her eyes and didn't open them again , " at this age she can hear you clearly , I would suggests making time to talk with her it would build a bond and she will recognize you by your voices later once she is born " .
The two looked at her with wide eyes , " I thought that was just an assumption !? " . Klaus asked in amusement .
Dr . Hansen laughed and shoke her head , " I know believe me I had many parents asking the same thing , but babies form bonds and explore the world outside even in the womb talk to her often and you will see for yourselves " .
" we will " . Hayley determined softly .
" I can print pictures for you to take and I can give you the video of the ultrasound if you like ? " . She asked as she took of her Gloves and moved in to return the wand and other equipments to their place after handing Hayley a bag of wet tissues to clean her stomach .
" I will proscribe you some vitamins and folic acid for you to take regularly , and I suggest you regular your diet increase the number of snacks between each meal and try to put some weight , your child is healthy but I worry for you " . Dr. Hansen explained as she passed Klaus the prescription note .
he took it with a worried frown " are their any chance of complications for both of them ? " .
The Dr harried to reassure him , " right now they are both very healthy , Truthfully until she give birth safely their will always be a chance for complications , we can only do our best and look after them both " .
" you are definitely right I will watch over both of them more carefully " . Klaus stated determinedly and she smiled at him he returned it with pa steely gleam to his eyes , she pitied whoever will try to hurt her and Hope in the future the Klaus before her now is even more fiercer and overprotective papa wolf than the One from her past , which she thought cant be possible .
Klaus took the folder With photos and the CD from the Dr and the two bid her Goodbye and thanked her before they left back to their Home .
They entered the compound to the startling sight of Rebekah Davina and Kol sitting on the stairs in the first floor waiting for them with anxious and excited expressions , she can see Elijah and Finn seating in the Garden table in courtyard waiting with equally expectant expressions , Rebekah speed to her Brother the moment she spotted them and cried out .
" finally I have been waiting all day long , where is it show me the pictures ?, tell me what the Dr said ? " . she fired out immediately .
Klaus chuckled in amusement and she grinned and linked her arm with Rebekah and pulled her to where Elijah and Finn where seated patiently .
Klaus laid the folder in the table and opened it just as Kol and Davina joined them , he took out a large stack of pictures and spread them out carefully for his siblings to see , each of them pulled the closest one to them to examination and their expressions tendered with awe and happiness .
" her eyes are open " . Elijah stated in wonder .
" she opened them for a few seconds " . Klaus explained proudly .
" oh my God , this is so wonderful " . Rebekah whispered tearfully .
" she is so tiny " . Kol who was Looking over Davina's shoulder sated with amazement .
" are they supposed to be this small ? , is that a thumb she is trying to suck ?/" . Davina asked curiously .
Both she and Klaus laughed at her question's , she answered kindly . " yes and yes " .
She sat beside Klaus as he and his siblings went through each photo awing and ahhing , she watched the happiness and wonder in their faces and the proud gleam in Klaus face as he narrated their appointment to his siblings with relish and smiled , this moment . just this moment it is worth leaving peace and the afterlife for she had found peace here in her home and with her family after a long time of bitterness and heartache .
Davina Pov :
Davina smiled as she stood on the second floor Balcony of the abattoir , watching the liveliness in the French quarter . New Orleans is abuzz with mills of people in town for the annual Casket Girls Festival. A horse and carriage was driving down the street while people dressed up in old fashioned costumes and wedding dresses were drinking on the sidewalks . Rebekah walked down the street with a smile on her face as she takes in the party atmosphere , when she noticed her she smirked and winked before she entered the abattoir .
"The Casket Girls legend lives on, now celebrated in typical New Orleans fashion with stylish costumes and supernatural flair. It's a yearly reminder of how woman can be oppressed by selfish men and how they can triumph when brave enough to fight for themselves " . Rebekah who dragged her and Hayley to her Room finished with fanfare .
She turned from the Rake filled with wedding dresses , she showed them two dresses , one a long lace sleeves chiffon dress with a sweetheart neckline that she handed to her , it was beautiful and obviously costed a fortune and had an antique feeling to it .
She took it carefully and looked up at the vampire questionly , " today is the casket girl festival , and I'm taking you out to celebrate the three of us " . Rebekah answered her unasked Question .
Hayley tilted her head and sent Rebekah a Halting look , " I'm all for it but I have two objections , first will Marcel and Klaus allow Davina to leave the compound with only the two of us , and my most important objection I'm not under any Persuasion's or circumstance going to ware a wedding dress " . Hayley stated firmly her usually bright and lively Hazel green eyes cloudy and dark .
Rebekah's excited expression turned into a determined one as she asked Hayley in her deep British accent , " leave Nik and Marcel to me , and worry not I picked a wonderful dress for you no one will notice the bump and if you ware Elijah's ruby bracelet no one will ever notice your pregnancy " .
Hayley answered her with a weak smile , " it's not the baby bump Bekah , I just ... I don't want to ware a wedding dress or see one that all " . Hayley said with a soft whisper her eyes fixed in the dresses were pained and tearful her expression both guilty and loving .
Rebekah lowered her hands and the dress with it her face started and confused as she inquired softly , " Hayley ? " .
Hayley closed her eyes and shoke her head before she opened them with a calm brittle smile , " I don't feel like going out ... In fact I'm a little wheezy I will go lie down " . Hayley excused herself and with last look at the dress in Rebekah's hand she fled the Room looking Pale and uncomfortable .
Rebekah turned to her with a startled and flabbergasted expression that she new she mirrored , " what was that ? " . she asked the blonde original .
Rebekah shrugged and answered contemplatively , " I have no idea , ... But I have lived and experienced enough Heartbreak's to guess ? " . she said with a pitying smile .
Her brows Jumped in shock and she questioned her , " a heartbreak seriously ? " . okay yeah this Hayley's reaction to this simple ordeal was odd if not a little bit dodgy but a Heartbreak won't make a girl run away at the sight of a wedding dress unless she was dumbed at the alter or if she was widow .
" what should we do ? " . she looked at the older teen for guidance .
Rebekah smiled calmly and answered . " leave her be we should give her space to work it out , we can go out for a few hours and come back later to check on her , hopefully by then she would feel a little better " .
Davina nodded in agreement , she doesn't know Hayley very will and she had not been with the Mikaelson's long enough to share this with them what ever this is , they can't just charge in blindly without knowing what Happened , the safest option is to give Hayley her privacy and check on her .
She Looked down at the dress in her arms it was cute and age appropriate she smiled apt Rebekah , " thank you for doing this and helping me leave the compound for a change " . she thankful end her sincerely .
Rebekah beamed at her and Replied kindly , " no need to Thank me love , I love this festival , and you can do with a change in scenery what with all this harvest claptrap " .
Davina smiled down at the dress with excitement , yeah she does need to go out and forget and enjoy all the joys her city can offer maybe for the last time , just for a few hours she wanted to do something she love and be a normal teen just for today .
Rebekah Pov :
Rebekah was searching through the Racks of dresses for a perfect dress for herself she was busy finding the perfect dresses for Hayley and Davina to attend with and left herself for last , it didn't end as she expected what with Hayley tittering to a meltdown at the sight of that gorgeous lace dress she picked to enhance Hayley's figure which even with the baby bump was marvellous .
She pierced her lips and tried to ignore the muffled sobs that filtered from Hayley's Room , she contemplated going there and just checking on Hayley crying and negative emotions harm mother and child but so does burying them , she will do as she advised Davina give Hayley a few hour's before bringing her lunch and trying to lift her sport up .
She made a mental note to inform Klaus of this so he can avoid Hayley or calm her down maybe he will know what is upsetting her from one of his spies or her personal history he digged .
With a sigh she begin evaluating each dress , "Dull, dreary, hideous ... " . she flanged each dress over her shoulder before she was interrupted by Marcel
Marcel walked into the Room and stood behind her and asked with clear amusement , " Talking about the clothes, or something else ? " .
Rebekah turned to him with a venomous glare the dying of his betrayal and her family disappointment still in her mind as she answered him coldly , " its None of your business , This festival might as well be in my honor. I need a proper costume, so bugger off " . she ordered coldly before Returning to her dress appraisal .
Marcel sighed and stepped closure and tried to touch her shoulder , " Bekah ... "
She throw his Arm off her , and hissed icily , " Don't. You made your choice a century ago . now You and Klaus are best friends again he is willing to give you a second chance be grateful for it , and after you betrayal you've relinquished your right to touch me " .
She gestured to the door and ordered him , " now leave me in peace I don't want anything to do with you again not as lover a nephew or a friend , get out " . she parked and he sighed and made his way to leave .
He stopped at the door half out of the room and turned to her and spoke sincerely , " it was never my intention to hurt you Bekah , thank you for doing this for Davina " .
Refusing to listen or to give Marcel or herself any chance of weaknesses she Glared at him and snapped , " why are you still here ? , out " .
Marcel nodded and closed the door behind him she sat down in her bed with an exhale and wondered why does she keep doing this to Herself ? , was finding love worth all of this pain disappointment and betrayal ?

Camille looked down at the note in her hand and the picture she passed them to Josh who examined them in interest And amusement , " I remember why I wrote this . I found a picture of Klaus and Marcel from 1919 " . she stated , " the moment I'm away from him I forget " .
Josh nodded in understanding and explained , " I know he did the same to me it's called Compulsion , a super mind trick . he used you to spy on Marcel ... I can take you to Davina she is a super witch and can take the compulsion off " .
Camille looked at him Hopefully but he sent her an apologetic look , " the thing is Davina is with Klaus , she is staying in his Mansion " .
Camille smile fell and she frowned thoughtfully , she want to Remember to get her memories back she has this nagging feeling in her mind that Remembering this will help her get her answer to what happen to her brother .
" I know Davina , she will help me I just need to speak to her " . Davina Insisted refusing to give up .
Josh pierced his lips and his eyes glinted as he said hesitantly , " I know someone else who can help us , she helped me and Davina and convinced the Mikaelsons to help us she even promised me a daylight ring the moment she helped Davina with her Witch's " .
Her head warped as she tried to Remember a woman like this with the Mikaelsons she had meet Klaus a handful of time and everytime she found him roguishly sexy engaging charismatically suave and psychologically unbalanced .
She was attracted to the Incredibly Handsome man even after she come to know that he was a ... A vampire for heaven sake , she thought he was attracted to her too she could have sworn that he was checking her out the first time they meet at Rousseau and the two talked a bit but after that not once did he gave her a hint of him liking her or any sign of attraction he treated her like a spy or poor women he pitied sometime he will examine her like he was looking or searching for something special or interesting something only he knew his eyes will dim in confusion when he doesn't find it .
" you mean Rebekah ? " . she Remember meeting the bombshell a blonde vampire and being knocked out with how beautiful and graceful she was and from Marcel stories she was as kind as Mikaeslon could be gentle with children and very strong she could see the adoration for her in Marcel eyes he was never over her even after a century and that was part of the reasons she broke up with him aside of Klaus compelling her to date the guy .
Josh shook her head and gave her a warning look , " you can't tell anyone if you did I can't grants who will kill you first Klaus or his siblings " . he warned her seriously .
Her chest tightened fearfully but she couldn't stop her self or withhold her curiosity , " I won't breath a word to anyone " . she promised him Truthfully , it wasn't her nature to let out other secrets not as a friend nor as psychology student .
" their is a woman that Klaus keep under tight security he won't let her out of his or his family sight he even beat Marcel yo the ground once he suspected he had taken her " . josh whispered nervously .
Her chest tightened but she wasn't surprised A man like Klaus Mikaelson can't be single , she was deluded to even contemplate that he has interest in her , he even have a girlfriend , " her name is Hayley she is a werewolf and she is pregnant with his child , you can imagine How a family of immortals who until now were convinced they will never have children will react to this " . Josh continued with awe and amazement .
She can understand and imagine it so will , a family of Witch's turned immortal the Hybrid meet a girl fall in love dated have a child in the way , of course they will be overprotective of the woman who have gave them the only thing they never had before who gave Klaus a child .
" and she will help me ? " . She asked doubtfully , why would this Hayley help her she has nothing yo offer the woman who has it all and can have everything she want handed to her by the Mikaelsons in a whim .
Josh smiled and Nodded confidently , " Hayley is nice , she will definitely help you " .
She smiled A little bit reassured , but still she didn't get her Hope's up . Josh promised to take her to meet Hayley the moment the sun goes down and she promised to meet him in the French quarter after her shift in Rousseau's .
Klaus Pov :
Klaus Returned to the compound in mid afternoon disgruntled and impatient the streets were filled with pedestrians dressed in vintage wedding dresses , He couldn't step a foot in the French quarter without having to push against a drunk or a drinking human or dancing couples .
He was impressed with his self control and his down Winding temper , a few months ago he would have pulled or lured some off them away for a snack and kill or just a kill to release his temper , now he only want to reach his Home check on Hayley and Finn Who has Been planning ways to retrieve their sister Glass coven from the Dawger cottage Attic , and call Joshua parker to check on the happening on Mystic falls .
He made a note to himself to send Rebekah to Mystic falls by the weekend they have being putting off the dealing with the mystic fall Gang any second they give those troublemaker children is a second handed to them to thogurt their plans and getting things more out of control Rebekah will have to go he will send Amanda and Paul with her to make sure she is safe and that the Salvatore's or the Gilberts hurt her or use the bus boy to distract her .
He walked into the compound with a node to the four daywalkers guarding the door , he meet with Amanda who bowed respectively and started her report , " Miss Rebekah has left for the festival with Master Kol and Mr. Girard and miss. Claire sire , they promised to be back before five if anything goes will " .
Klaus through off his Jacket in one of the chairs in the living room and asked her curiously , " Didn't Hayley accompany them ? " . he was sure that she would love to go out interact with other people and enjoy the festivity .
Amanda sent him a worried look , " She didn't , she has Been in her Room all morning and Miss Rebekah asked me to tell you to keep an eye on her she has been upset and crying " .
He stilled in his movement and turned to the witch with astonishment , " Hayley crying !? , How come ? " . he demanded angrily .
Hayley never cried not when she was chased by vampires who were hell on bending on killing her , not when she was captured and used as leverage by the Witch's , not when she nearly miscarried or when they caught , Hayley never cries she is too strong for that .
It so he thought , until he focused his hearing on her and he could hear the faint sniffles and quite sobs coming from her Room , he moved to her Room curious apprehensive and Worried , what would make his fiery werewolf cry ? .
He knocked the door and when he didn't hear an answer he knocked again and entered the Room was dark the curtains drawn over the Balcony and holding back the sunlight that Hayley love to bask in , he spotted her in the sofa in the corner , Huddled their with her knees hugged to her chest .
He walked silently and carefully to her not wanting to startle her when she didn't notice him , he kneeled before her and took her Palms in his gently stroking her whitened knuckles , Hayley looked up to meet his eyes startled and he was too with how red and puffy her eyes were he had left her this morning as her usual obnoxious and lively self and returned to this pale and sad mess .
" little wolf !? " . He asked cautiously , lost and inept on how to Handle a crying girl that wasn't His little sister , usually he would leave his lovers to solve their problems on their own or snap their necks and be done with it .
But this Hayley and he can't leave her like this , " did you see anything upsetting today ? " . he asked her curious and a little worried , that is the only logical conclusion he can Reach to His she was feeling now .
Hayley's eyes brightened she lowered her eyes for a second before nodding , he moved to sit beside her and gathered her in his embrace and marveled at how easily it came to both of them their is no awkwardness or distrust or ulterior motive from their intimacy it was easy and unquestionable to the both of them to touch and talk and listen which he never experienced before he never let anyone be this intimate with him nor did he ever open up or offered to listen to anyone problem that wasn't a family , which Hayley was he reasoned to himself , she was Hope mother Their ally and Friend she is family .
" the dress Rebekah picked for me , I wore it once or I will when I got married " . Hayley started with a chocked sob and his body stiffened , Hayley married to whom ? .
Unaware of the bomb she landed on him she continued oblivious to his reactions or how his eyes has turned amber he held his tongue and waited for her to talk so he could understand more .
" he was a nice guy I learned to love him , we decided to try to make us work but he was killed and it was my fault " . Hayley sobbed into his shoulder anguishly , he tightened his hold more and run his fingers soothingly over silky curls .
He stayed silent , he have no idea what to say to comfort her , this hadn't happened yet and if he has anything to do with it and he did this woman was the mother of his child he won't have any other man in his daughter life , and he won't allow for a stepfather to have a place in His daughter or Hayley's life , she won't be this heartbroken because he won't allow it to Happen .
Determined and assured of his control of this situation , He rubbed Hayley's back and spoke gently , " don't cry sweetheart , it didn't happen yet . and I won't allow it to happen you are too young and pretty to be widow " . he teased her and his smile widened when she chuckled a little .
She was silent for a few minutes and nodded her head determinedly , " you are Right , it didn't happen . I won allow him to die for me he deserve so much better " .
" I suspect he will find anyone better , but live he will " . Klaus promised her with a smirk , " probably " . he finished under his breath careful that Hayley won't hear him .
" up you Go Darling , I'm quite famished . and Amanda had prepared scrumptious lunch for us " . Klaus urged her as he pushed her to the Bathroom to wash her face .
Hayley answered with a small smile he couldn't help but Return even though he can still see the Guilt and sadness in her yes , at least she wasn't crying and is up for a meal .
" I'm starving too " . Hayley acknowledged as the two made their way to the Dinning Room after Hayley put a white cropped open Cardigan over her navy spaghetti straps v neck floral dress , which suited her lithe figure Beautifully .
They lunched on Dominique Ansel's cassoulet with French chocolate mousse for dessert as usual Amanda had outdone herself and as he watched Hayley spoon down her dessert with a joyful smile he couldn't help put take another piece to himself , before Hayley came to live with them they were rarely one to eat they used to enjoy regular Blood and a random meal once every four or five days .
But now he came to fund joy in food and drinks again maybe because his siblings come to join him in every meal they could , Or because of Hayley who always seems to find joy in the simplest of things or who filled their meal time with funny Joke's and small casual talk that was surprisingly never boring or irritating .
She draw his attention easily and could keep it with the same ease , just like now he could spend the entire day watching her saviour her food and mumble about this and that .
She looked up shoot him a glare from her bright Hazel eyes and throw the napkin at him and threatened , " you better not be secretly laughing at me Klaus , or I will hit you " .
His smile turned to a playful smirk as he throw the napkins back at her and it hit her nose she scrunched it in irritation , " what gave you that notion sweetheart ? " . he asked curiously .
" you mean a side from that creepy smile you were waring just now ? " . she asked him with a smirk as she took another spoon of her mousse , " the fact that you have been staring at my face for the past Ten minutes " . she stated with a suspicious glare .
Hr chuckled amusedly in his thousand years of existence never had he been called a creep by a friend , maybe an enemy once in a while his siblings handful of times but the way that Hayley stated it was both funny and startling like it's the best conclusion she could reach for why he was admiring her appeal .
" I would have you know that I was only contemplating if I should point out the mess on your face or continue being a gentleman and keep my silence " . Klaus lied easily , and he laughed as Hayley hurried to take the napkin and clean her mouth and cheeks with a startled expression , Thankfully she did have some chocolate at the corner of her lips that he would have loved to kiss off if she wasn't Hayley and she wasn't interested on him or anyone for that matter which was a relive .
Hayley pouted at him with a glare but soon it turned to a smile as she took her spoon back with a shrug and started again in her dessert he took her lead and followed berating himself for letting his possessive nature nearly take over him for a moment .
He liked Hayley adore her even she was family and by now a close friend who surprisingly trust him more than even his siblings , but he doesn't love her he find her attractive any hot blooded male who has eyes will . But he can't let his possessiveness and over protectiveness over Hope overlap with Hayley .
From the moment he had made up his mind to take responsibility as Elijah put it , and take his place as Hope Father he had promised her that he will place her over anything that he will put aside any Relationship or any distractions to the back burner until he get the hang of parenting , and he can't take the Risk of perusing this sizzling attraction he has for the little wolf , not if he doesn't want to chance the Good and easy Relation they have now .
He will have to put a cap in it as Rebekah used to say , and continue as they are , it's for the best .
Rousseau :
Sophie POV :
Sophie was sitting on the table in the restaurant's kitchen , making out with a man she just meet and who she can't remember his name just trying to forget , Forget about Jane-Anne Monique and Agnes about Davina and the Harvest she just wanted need end a moment to herself without trouble or concerns without obligations . just then Sabine chosed this time to enter and interrupts them by awkwardly clearing her throat .
" Sorry to interrupt " . she said awkwardly , and Sophie sighed tiredly .
She looked back at the man she was making out with and patted his shoulders apologetically as he moved to leave , Once he's gone , she picked up a bottle of vodka and drunk from it .
" I've been calling you for like anhour " . Sabine reproached her with a glare .
" I thought you'd have taken the hint " . Sophie returned indifferently taking another gulp of her Vodka .
" You've been acting like this since Agnes was killed " . Sabine accused her clear irritation .
" Yeah , can you blame me ? It's not like I have a lot to keep me going these days " . Sophie retorted with a downturn of her lips , she really has nothing to keep her going . only a promise made by the Mikaelsons .
" Well , while you've been drowning your sorrows by nailing everything that walks , I've been doing my tours , keeping my head down and my ears open . Marcel's daywalkers are swarming the French quarter guarding a girl with brown hair and blue eyes , sound familiar ? " . Sabine asked her with an excited gleam in her eyes .
" If Davina is not with Marcel , he won't know if we're practicing magic ... And , if we can actually get her back, we can fix everything " . she continued with a determined look ." Sun goes down, vampire search parties quadruple " .
" do you really believe what you are saying ? , for the ancestors sake we couldn't take her from Marcel hands , what maple you believe we will succeed with the Original's ? " . Sophie demanded angrily , she can't believe Sabine stupidity , maybe the Mikaelsons were right and something is wrong with her .
" we need to try , we must at least try once . we won't have a chance like this anytime soon " . Sabine tried to pursuit her .
Sophie sighed and put down her bottle , " I know , but we can't do this alone " . she agreed in the end , it's worth a try if they get Davina becoming Elder will be easier as long as they secured the witch .
Sabine smirked apt her and promised , " I already have people on it , we just have to locate her where about in the quarter , and she will be caught " . Sabine raised a hairbrush and waved it at her , " I took it from Davina's old House , feel like a locator spell ? " . she asked deviously and she couldn't help but return it .
Rebekah Pov :
Rebekah swallowed down her drink and tired to ignore the lurking sulking vampire that have been shadowing her , she looked at Davina and Kol beside her who was talking Davina through what drinks she should try , the two off them were so engrossed in their talk that they forgot her existence , to be fair they practical did after twenty minute's if leaving the compound .
The two has surprisingly good friendship where Kol had walked the witch around the Jackson square and told her stories after stories about the city and how each monument have come to place , Davina seems to enjoy it eminencly not noticing that she was kind of in a date with her Brother .
The four of them sat in an obscure corner listening to music and trying Drinks and snack's they had toured the French quarter , Danced and participated in the march they took a carriage and enjoyed the ride .
Everything considered , It was a pleasant outing , and would have being even more pleasant if Marcel would leave them alone .
Suddenly Davina stiffened her eyes going glassy before she sent Marcel a worried look and he speed to them . " Davina , what's Wrong ? " . Kol asked her seriously .
" Someone's practicing magic. They're trying to find me " . Davina answered with a displeased frown .
" we have to return to the compound " . Marcel ordered the four , she and Kol nodded , Davina pouted but followed them nonetheless .
The four of them made their way to Marcel car , put was deterred by the crowded street , " it's too crowded here " . She complained as she has to shove someone arm off as he pushed against her .
" Kol is asking where are you men ? " . Davina relayed to Marcel .
Marcel looked around before answering , " I can see Diego and the others they are surrounding us " .
With Davina sandwiched between her and Marcel the three tried to make it to the car faster , once they Reached a less crowded area . Rebekah heared a noise , she pulled Davina and marvel down just in time to avoid a spell aimed at Davina Head probably a sleeping or knocking spell .
From Behind them four Witch's followed them to the Alley , three of the witches dressed all in black and led by Sabine surrounded them , They started chanting the incantation to a spell as they marched toward Davina . Their spell is so powerful it telekinetically throws her and Marcel backward , knocking them against a wall .
" Gadyen nan balans. Gadyen nan la foi. Se pou nou fe sa yo dwe fe " . the Witch's chanted loudly .
"NO ! " . Davina shouted as she looked back at the two of them pinned to the wall and unable to move .
" Davina , Run , go go , now " . Marcel cried agitatedly .
" she will go with us " . Sabine stated firmly , " there is no place to run too , or anyone who can save you Davina " .
" if you dare to touch her , we will end you " . Rebekah threatened with a growl . trying to free herself from the spell .
" once we have Davina , you will be the dead ones " . One of the Witch's chuckled .
Kol turned to Davina and whispered softly , " calm down Davina , take that fear and anger and power it in your spell , kill them " . Kol guided the witch calmly his eyes were emotionless as he continued . " make an example out of them so no other witch will dare to target you " .
With the Witch's dead , the spell that pined them to the wall was broken , and the two fell to the ground ,l
Davina throw her arms out in front of her , and the ground begins to shake . Davina levitates the witches high into the air , and Sabine looks at Davina in fear before Davina violently flicked both of her wrists , snapping the necks of all three of the witches. As soon as Davina drops them to the ground , Sabine has raised a protection spell and used the Davina's distraction to flee .
With the Witch's death the spell pinning them to the wall broke and the two fell to the ground , Marcel hurried to hug the emotional teenager . " are you OK ? " . Marcel asked worriedly as he brushed Davina's tears tenderly .
" I'm , will they ever leave me alone ? " . Davina asked fearfully .
" not as long as their is a harvest " . Rebekah answered apologetically , " let us get you back home , you can shower Change and rest " . she urged the witch as she took her other arm .
" you did well sweetheart , go back and rest " . Kol soothed her with a smile , Davina returned it weakly but she was no longer crying .
" Rebekah take her Back , I need to clean up here " . Marcel said with a gesture to the Witch's body .
She nodded and took the car keys from him and took Davina to the Car near by , once the witch was safely buckled she drove to the Abattoir . she hates Witch's , seems like Celeste is insisting in creating trouble for them and ruining her day , and her Brothers wonder why she hate their girlfriends .
Mikaelson compound :
Hayley Pov :
Hayley was sitting on the courtyard working on her laptop and Reading information about the properties that belonged to her pack and pack member's trying to outline everything when her Phone range , she pickup and scowled at Sophie's name in the screen .
" What the hell do you want ? " . she hissed as she picked up the call .
" I need something from you so that the witches can complete the Harvest " . Sophie answered nervously , the familiar words drudging up memories and she rubbed her temple to ward off the incoming headache .
" On what planet would I help you witches get more power ? All you've done is hex me left and right " . Hayley scoffed as she made her way to Klaus atelier .
She entered and shushed Klaus with a finger to her lips and he frowned his eyebrows in confusion putting aside his art supply , " You'll help me because if we don't complete the Harvest , our access to magic will fade for good , which doesn't bode well for your family " . Sophie threatened with a smirk in her voice , she shoot Klaus a stormy Glare as he Glared back and motion for her to continue .
" What does this have to do with my family ? " . Hayley demanded defensively .
" You're from the Crescent Wolf bloodline . Marcel forced a witch to curse them so they'd be trapped in wolf form " . Sophie explained calmly .
Hayley Growled impatiently , " tell me Something I don't know already " . Klaus sent her a warning look but she shook her head with a calming gesture .
" my bloodline executed that curse . Help me complete the Harvest , and I'll undo the curse for you " . Sophie suggested enticingly .
" what about your deal with Klaus ? " . Hayley demanded curiously .
" it is still on , he didn't say I can't look for other ways , only that they will make me an elder on their conditions " . Sophie answered cunningly , and Klaus eyes flashed Ruthlessly . " that wench " . he cursed lowly .
" how does you becoming an elder involve me ? " . Hayley asked already mowing the answer .
" I need to consecrate the remains of a powerful witch so I can absorb their magic . I know of one whose body was never found . Her name is Celeste Dubois . I believe you and she have a friend in common ? " . Sophie answered meaningfully .
" Elijah " . Hayley replied with a guilty grimace .
" Story goes that when she died , he buried her in a secret spot at her request . All you have to do is find out where " . Sophie explained calmly .
Hayley sent the thoughtful Klaus beside her a questioning look and he nodded , " I will look around " . Hayley answered and cut the Call .
he turned to Klaus who kissed her cheek and informed her with a smirk , " i will be out witch hunting with dear Elijah , don't wait for us sweetheart " . he informed her as he put on his Jacket .
" wait , what should I tell Sophie ?" . Hayley asked curiously .
" I will speak with Elijah and send you the location in a text " . Klaus replied as he Hurried Down the stairs and to his car .
Plantation House :
Elijah pov :
Elijah entered the plantation after a long grueling day with the new mayor and his aids at Klaus request , why would his brother call him and ask him to meet here is beyond him .
He entered to see Klaus with Open trunk in the ground where he was throwing his Journals and other personal items he left here to bring to the abattoir in later date .
" Niklaus ? " . he asked his Hybrid brother curious of what he was up to now ? .
Klaus looked up and gestured to other trunks , " Rebekah has called me minutes ago , seems like your ex and her lackey's tried to grab Davina , Thankfully the witch put then down " . Klaus started with a furious scowl .
Elijah raised His brows in shock , " and Celeste ? " . he asked warily .
" escaped " . Klaus Growled angrily , he wasn't surprised , it will take more than a novice witch to take her down .
" Sophie Called Hayley , and demanded that she aid her in plotting and outsmarting us , she wanted her to find Celeste burial place so she can consecrate her " . Klaus continued furiously .
Elijah's furrowed angrily , " That damned Witch " . he cursed in a hiss trying to calm himself down . " what did Hayley tell her ? " . he asked curiously .
" that she will search around and tell her " . Klaus answered with a smirk he couldn't help but return .
" leave those here I will have Paul pick them up in the morning , we have a show to attend " . Elijah ordered his brother as he turned and made his way to Celeste grave with Klaus beside him .
He would love to see what expression Sophie's face will wear once she find nothing , he would let her digges out the grave and then move the remains to another place so he can Destroy them later , he will wait out to see what is Celeste plan to take them out before he dispose of her once and for all .
They stalked Sophie as she walked throw the woods with A shovel and a phone glued to her ear , they kept her in sight but was out of Hers and they could pick up the conversation like they were beside her and it was in a speaker .
" I already sent you the address , so why are you calling me ? " . Hayley demanded with annoyance and he can picture her with a frown and her eyes are blazing with irritation , she is a vision especially with the fiery spark of anger in her Hazel eyes that darken them to a Green color .
" you said he buried her in between two pine tree's , there is a thousand one in this woods , what else can you tell me ? " . Sophie asked with similar irritation and impatient .
Klaus eyes glowed maliciously and he knew he took offense to the tone she used with Hayley but at least he is keeping still , Hayley snorted and sneered . " Sophie you are the one who want to be an all powerful witch , will use what you have and find her . I don't have anything else to tell you " .
" there must be something more , anything that will tell me where to find Her " . Sophie pleaded desperately .
Hayley sighed and answered softly , " look Sophie I really didn't find anything else , Blame Elijah for his theatrics writing ... That was mean of me . he was in pain and grieving he was too occupied with writing down his feelings more than specifications " .
Sophie sighed and run a hand over her face , " I understand , I will try another way . thank you Hayley I owe you " . Sophie said a little bit more composed .
" keep that in mind for when I came to collect " . Hayley answered before cutting off the call , Sophie returned the phone to her jeans pocket's .
She sighed to herself and took a deep breath , " Okay , let do this " . She begins to chant a spell , " Soeurs et freres, mwen rele sou nou. Mennen me sa me chache ".
Once nothing happened She stopped and pleaded to the sky above, " Please , please help me . I'm trying to do the right thing " .
The spell must have locked into Celeste Grave , they followed the witch to the location of the grave and watched patiently as she started digging for the remains , beside him Klaus was busy texting someone . " it's Rebekah , they had returned to the compound , Amanda had prepared a calming drink for the witch and she is a sleep now " . Klaus told him calmly .
" that's Good , tell her to keep an eye on the two and to tell Marcel to double the Guards " . Elijah requested calmly his eyes still on Sophie .
" I beat you to that Hour's ago " . Klaus replied with a smirk . " I'm more interested in what Camille and Joshua wants with Hayley " . He informed him with amber flamed eyes .
Elijah turned to him with shock and curiosity , " Camille the bartender ? , correct me if I'm wrong brother but aren't they both your spies ? " . He questioned with frown , what would the two want from Hayley ? , Klaus has Been adamant of keeping her out of all this conflicts and political power struggles , and he had support his decision Wholeheartedly . How come that Camille know of her , or her relations to them ? , what do they want with her ? .
Klaus sent him a look and he understood his meaning , " Davina has lifted my compulsion from Joshua he knew of Hayley and must have shared his knowledge with Camille " . Klaus puzzled out his astute mind putting pieces Together and filling the gaps .
He turned to him fully and looked into his eyes , " you knew I was Curious about the three from the start " . Klaus stated and he nodded , he knew And shared in Niklaus curiosity over Hayley precious three friends .
" so I tested them individually , Davina had already passed my scrutiny she will be a powerful Ally and she already liked Kol and Hayley she will be loyal to us in the immediate future , Joshua's loyalty was always to his friends who Happened to be Marcel and Davina and that I can Respect , Which left Camille " . Klaus explained with a smile .
Elijah nodded thoughtfully as he went over all the points his brother mentioned , " she was either a powerful witch nor a loyal vampire , she is a human with prepsychology degree and nothing to give us she is charming but I swore off blonde's after Caroline Forbes playing me like a fool and she won't be giving my child or our family any benefits so I did what Hayley wanted and kept her as far from our business with Marcel as possible " . Klaus continued with a shrug and downturn of his lips .
Where was Hayley all his life ? , to see the influence she had on his selfish and stubborn Brother and make him think of others outside of the family even if for selfish reasons was a feat worthy of Applause , Hayley had unknowingly he is sure softened his brother and centered him . he is not spinning from depressed rage , Malicious amusement , or forbidden calm . Now he is calmer , steady his worrying temper is lessened to something manageable , he no longer goes for the kill directly or Torture . He is consumed with protecting his unborn child and Hayley , already planning Hope future and accumulating protection for her , he could see what Hayley does when she stated that Klaus was natural father , and he started to gain her confidence on his brother fatherhood capability .
" she had found one of the loopholes I left for her and must have interrogated Joshua who spilled and is now taking her to Hayley , we can both guess why ? " . Klaus stated with a frown .
" to get her to talk you into lifting her compulsion or letting Davina lift it for her " . Elijah concluded with a grimace , he could see the Rage in his brother eyes at the way people keep using Hayley against him , and the influence she has over him , and she does Hayley has the ability to talk any of them into anything she wants , they are lucky she wasn't an enemy .
He nodded with a sigh , Thankfully Sophie has finished digging and is preparing to consecrate the remains , she started the Ritual after finishing all her preparation but even after Repeating it Four time There was nothing .
" what the fuck ? " . Sophie shouted furiously .
It was their cue to show their selves , " Hello there Love , out for a moonlight stroll ! " . Klaus greeted the witch with a dark smirk .
Sophie startled to her feet's and looked at them with terrified expression , " Look ... It's not ... This is not what you think ... I just " . she tried to excuse .
Elijah smiled at her politely and icily , " we all know what this is ? , stop trying to patronize us " . he ordered coolly .
Sophie looked at them and asked Klaus shakily , " it was Hayley ? , she told you ! " .
Klaus sent her a degrading glare , " of course , I'm the father of her child , and you are the witch who kidnapped and nearly hot her killed . between family and an enemy . it was an easy choice " . he stated proudly .
Sophie frowned angrily at them before she returned to defend herself , " then you already understand why I did this , I don't trust you . I got a chance i took it " .
" and you found nothing in the end " . Elijah stated knowingly . Sophie fumed but nodded in the end .
" did a witch consecrated her already ? " . she asked him curiously .
" not as far as I know , maybe someone already found her " . he lied easily , " now be useful and pack those Remains in this bag over here , I plan to gift her another resting place " . he ordered coolly , he may throw her Ashe's in the see or the sewer's depends on whatever he was feeling then .
Sophie nodded with obvious disappointment as she started packing the remains into the bag he handed her , Klaus tapped his foot impatiently .
" we will talk over this tomorrow " . Elijah ordered once they reached their vehicles .
The abattoir :
Cami Pov :
Cami looked around the Renovated Mikaelson mansion curiously , noting the increased guards and new features around the garden , they were stopped on their way to the living Room by a brunette vampire named Kate who demanded that they wait for Miss , Mikaelson on the foyer and left to inform her of their uninvited or announced visit as she disdainfully put it .
" are you sure about this Josh ? " . she asked again nervously .
Josh sent her a weak smile and nodded , " trust me unless you want to go to Davina which will be painful and may get me in trouble with Klaus , this the safest option " . he explained again and she nodded in understanding .
She sat nervously on the expensive coach and contemplated if she should have went to Klaus herself maybe she would have managed to convince him or demand that he stop controlling her , they are friends of sort and she knew that she saw attraction in his eyes towards her even if it had Been absent recently .
She also know that she was attracted to him and had broke up with Marcel in part because she wanted to know Klaus more and maybe even pursue something with him , even now after she found out that he was using her to his ends and mind controlling her she couldn't help but like him which would have worried her before all this vampire drama , but she wasn't as bothered by it as she should be .
Her Thoughts went to Hayley , the girl pregnant with Klaus child , she had asked Joshua about her all the way here , about how close she is with Klaus ? , if they are Together ? , how is she ? Etc . Josh had answered all her questions with a knowing and worried look , he must have figured out her crush on Klaus and was worried for her .
She wasn't though she knew Klaus won't hurt her , she doesn't know why , she has no Reason to believe though actually aside from the heir handful of interactions he hadn't gave her a hint that he plan to hurt her .
Rebekah Mikaelson chose this moment to enter in all her golden beauty and grace and sent them a polite smile as she sat infront of them .
" Good evening , to what do we owe this visit darlings ? " . she asked politely but the uninterest was clear to all of them .
Josh smiled nervously and spoke , " we are here for Hayley , we wanted to ask a favor from her " .
Rebekah's eyes turned icily sharp as she glared at the two of them and Cami picked on her protectiveness immediately , and Remembered josh warning of how overprotective the Mikaelsons are over the woman .
" And may I ask what give you the idea that you can speak to her , let alone ask favor from someone for all intent and purpose you shouldn't know about ? " . Rebekah demanded coolly .
Cami chosed to answer this time to avoid josh getting in anymore troubles , " that was my fault I asked for his help and this is the only way he knew to help me " .
" and you need Hayley for this " . Rebekah stated with a frown , she turned to Josh and ordered , " leave now you will be hearing from Klaus Tomorrow , you will stay away from Hayley if you know what is good for you " .
Cami panicked she can't leave just like that , she need To find out the truth to return to what she used to be , to be herself again , " she cried out louder than she intended but with the intended determination , " please I need Help I don't intend to hurt her , it will be quick and I won't bother her after this again " .
Rebekah's eyes had a gleam of pity as she Looked at her but they hardened seconds later , she opened her mouth probably to blast her off or to send her away , when a soft voice interrupted her , " it's okay Bekah , I would love to Help the them " .
The three turned to the stair where a tall Stunningly beautiful woman was making her way to them , she recognized her from Rousseau's she had meet her once with Elijah Mikaelson and thought her quite beautiful but now that she had chance to see her up close she was startled by her .
She was obviously the pregnant ex of Klaus from the slight bump that was visible from her pink tank top and white leggings , Hayley smiled at them and CAMi's heart thudded she was more Beautiful and kinder than she anticipated or wanted her to be .
she sat beside Rebekah and smiled at the blonde vampire an apologetic and thankful look , Rebekah shook her head fondly and turned to her . " here she is , what do you want ? " . she demanded coolly .
She looked at the kindly and patiently smiling younger woman and asked , " you know I have Been compelled by Klaus ... " . Hayley's eyes widened but she didn't comment but it was clear she didn't . " I want a favor , Josh he could take it off , the problem if he will , could you please convince him to do it " . she asked politely .
Rebekah and Hayley exchanged looks before Hayley turned to her with a small smile , " I can't promise you anything , but I will talk with him and try my best . I can't force him into anything " . she promised apologetically .
She smiled back in understanding thankful none the less and stood up to leave , just then Klaus entered with His brother beside him .
" look brother we arrived just in time to enjoy our Guests visit " . Klaus started with a cold smile .
Josh stiffened beside her but Thankfully Hayley stood up and diffused the situation , " did it go well ? " . she asked the two Curiously .
Klaus throw a bag in a corner and it made a weird sound that made Rebekah and Hayley smile , " well CAMI and Josh were just leaving ... " . she started to excuse .
" not before I have a word with the two " . Klaus cut her off with an ordering gesture to the courtyard the two looked at each other and hurried out , just as Josh was closing the door behind them she could hear Klaus and Hayley talking . " please Klaus , he was Helping her she just want answers , you promised me to keep her away from this " . Hayley pleaded softly .
She Looked behind her startled and confused as Klaus brushed her check calmly , " and I intended to keep my promise , she is the one insisting on digging where she shouldn't , I will Handle this go to sleep " . he promised her and she nodded and went back up the stair's .
They stood by a Rose bush in the courtyard fidgeting and waiting nervously , Klaus joined them fifteen minutes later , his eyes were cold and his Expression was unreadable and for the first time she felt wary and fear of him .
He looked and Josh and ordered , " you can leave , but be wary I'm starting to tire from you and your continuous meddling , wait for her in the car " .
Josh sighed and nodded he looked at her apologetically as he obeyed his sire order , Klaus waited until Josh left before turning to her and speaking more kinder ," I will lift the compulsion of you but I will keep the one preventing you from sharing my secret or our existence , and I'm extending the same warning I gave to Josh for you , stay out of our business don't interfere with my family and I won't have to end you " .
Cami nodded in agreement she could do that she didn't want to meddle with vampires , even if she did she won't know where to start .
Klaus looked in her eyes with dilating Irises , " you will Remember everything you Forget , you will speak of nothing or share anything of what you know with anyone " .
Her head swam with images and Memories and it was overwhelming for a few hours before one memory hit her and she looked up at Klaus tearfully , " Sean , what Happened to Sean ? " . she demanded desperately .
He eyed her pityingly and answered , " you will have to speak to your uncle , only he will explain this to you properly " .
She pleaded with him but her ignored her and returned inside she made her way dazedly to Josh car who eyed her warily and handed her a tissue she took and cleaned her face , " I will take you home " . Josh promised as he started the car .
" no take me to the church , I need to talk with uncle kieran " . She pleaded and he nodded , she wanted answers she needed to know to understand .
The Abattoir :
Klaus returned to the leaving Room to see his siblings are gathered with Marcel around a Table as Elijah rearranged what looked like a stack of charcoal sketches .
" what is going on ? " . he asked curiously .
" you would want to see this brother " . Finn beckoned him .
" These drawings, what are they ? ". Elijah asked Marcel as he arranged them carefully .
" She drew those the whole time she was in the attic . Said they're different than what she draws when she senses magic . These ones , she called them evil " . Marcel answers nervously , Klaus raised his Brow's in intrigue .
" you mean she is some witch who want her dead " . Rebekah corrected .
" or want us dead " . Kol corrected in Return as he gestured to the now completed sketch .
" Hello Celeste " . Elijah greeted with a smirk .
" isn't that Elijah's ex you drowned ? " . Marcel asked Klaus in disbelieve .
" one and the same , and she is alive and want Davina to destroy us " . Klaus answered with a smile .
Marcel cursed under his Breath and demanded , " what are you going to do about her ? " .
" why Marcel , we will wait of course " . Finn answered with wicked grin and Marcel cringed in agitation .
" are you serious ? , she is after Davina she is your enemy " . Marcel demanded angrily .
" that's true , but Remember what I taught you Marcel , always understand the enemy . Celeste has a plan and unless we know what is it or what she palm to use against us we won't Kill her " . Klaus Reminded Marcel coolly .
" never leave an advantage to your enemy " . Marcel nodded in understanding .
The six of them stood there surrounding the sketch thoughtfully , " leave it here I want to show it to Hayley in the morning and see what she have on it " . Klaus ordered and his siblings nodded in agreement .
" things are getting heated again brothers , sister " . Kol stated with a smirk .
