The Mikaelsons Mansion :
Bonnie POV :
She looked around the Room that was Her's for the last few weeks , she had already packed her bags and was Ready to leave .
she sat down on her bed her Knees weak from panic her hands shaking , she was leaving her home , her friends , to never return again . worse she will have to live with her enemies under their Roof and not kol them or get killed .
How could her ancestors do this to her ? , how could Gram believe that Klaus Mikaelson the Devil and his demonic family are saver than her own childhood friends , OK , she get that the Salvatore's are reckless stupid most of the time , and are obsessed with Elena just as she was with them .
But this is Elena , who would die for any of them in a heartbeat . her sister , secrets keeper . if she leave who would protect her Jeremy and Caroline when the next big bad come after them .
How could they expect her to learn from that psychopath who tried to kill her Boyfriend and threatened Elena's live . to play nice with Klaus instead of boiling his blood until he explode . worse they took away her power , without them she is nothing but defenseless humans .
She heared a polite knocking on her door and looked at the electronic clock by the bedside table , it was barley six am . " come in " . she invited shakily .
The door opened and a sharply and Elegantly dressed Rebekah examined her with cool eyes . " you are Awake and ready , good . our flight leave at eight . do you mind i want ten minutes with you before we leave ? " . she asked her calmly .
She Looked around the Room awkwardly , this was Rebekah's house , will her Brother . still her Home she didn't need her permission to enter . " oh yeah sure , come in " . she agreed hesitantly feeling nervous being alone with the ancient vampire .
Rebekah strutted and sat down on an arm chair and crossed her ankles politely . " thank you " . she replied coolly . " I wanted to speak with you yesterday but now will do " .
Yeah , she went shopping with liv and Jo since she wasn't allowed to go into town she couldn't get any of her Things . the two had argued that Elijah had made a bank account for her to outfit herself and to pay for anything she wanted she was both horrified and angry at the notion of spending any of their money who knows where and how they got it from ? And how many people died for them to get it ? .
Still the two Parker's insisted and brushed away all her protest and had bought her an entire new wardrobe , sadly and to her shame she did enjoy it . it had been fucking long since she got to spend time with friends and do normal girl things they even went for Facial and she got her hair cut a few inches below her shoulder blade and highlighted , liv idea but she liked it and the style brought out her eyes and the curve of her chin and neck enticingly .
" I was in Richmond with the Parker's and Ric " . she justified even thought she damn didn't have to .
Rebekah nodded and waved her hand dismissively , " nonetheless , we were assured your family had drilled you on our terms to ... Fostering you . you will not antagonise my Brother's and they won't do the same . you mind your business stay away from ours , learn as much as you can and when you decide what you want do with your future we will support you . as long as you don't hurt Hayley and her Baby we will tolerate you " . Rebekah stated seriously .
Her brain short circuited and she leaned in shock . " wait , you mean liv wasn't joking when she said Klaus have a baby in the way ? " . she stuttered in disbelieve .
Rebekah tilted her bead with a smirk , " in a few month's , yes " . she gloated Happily .
She opened and closed her mouth unable to retort or to think coherently . until a thought occurred to her , " wait that name sound familiar , where did I hear that name ? " . she asked herself in confusion .
Rebekah's smirk widened and her eyes glinted with malicious joviality , " its definitely familiar , why didn't you and your two friends slander her name and started a rumor about her sleeping with the Lockwood hybrid ? " .
Lockwood hybrid , that's Tayler , oh , oh . wasn't Hayley the name of the bitch who Tayler cheated on Caroline with ? .
She scoffed as she replayed filled with righteous anger . " please , that was the slut who seduced Tayler even thought he was dating Caroline . and then she has the Gall to act Hurt and say they were just friends " .
Rebekah's eyes flashed murderously , " do not use that righteous tone on me , you who know nothing of righteousness . did Caroline see the two Together ? . hell , did she even see the two Kiss ? " . Rebekah demanded angrily and didn't wait for her Answer before she answered herself . " No she didn't , she just came to the assumptions she wanted because it suited her and soothed her Guilty conscious . but that is not our concern . I'm warning you if you ever call Hayley a slut or any other derivative you will lose that venomous tongue . we will not tolerate any disrespect to our own especially when they did nothing to deserve it " . Rebekah warned her before she stood up and pointed to her bags .
" follow me , the help's will get them too the car , we should leave before we are late . Hopefully we will be Home by the late afternoon " . Rebekah ordered her after taking a calming breath , she smoothed down her Blouse and left the Room .
leaving her to follow after her with Guilt and shame churning in her Billy , Rebekah is right ? , maybe she Judged the woman too soon she only heared from Caroline and she trusted her friend . but Tayler is her friend too and maybe Caroline was Hasty and mistaken it happen sometimes . Nonetheless she will be in New Orleans soon and will meet with Hayley . maybe then she can see for herself what type of woman will win such passionate defense from the Haughty and I'll tempered Rebekah Mikaelson .
Hayley pov :
Hayley was up at five the next morning nearly giving Klaus who was in his atelier a heart attack when he saw her up and about and already started preparing for the meeting a whole twelve Hour's early .
He huffed and went back to his reading of the books Carry has given him , and left her to her planning and organising without a word . the Dinning Room in the second floor for was her choice for tonight Dinner and Thankfully it was adjoined to a large Meeting Room Klaus used for such events .
Kate and Lucile were quite Helpful and so was Davina who helped them organise the Golden table ware and decide where each of the three faction's should seat , they decided to seat the humans between the Werewolves and The vampires and pray that they help her keep the two from killing each other's .
By afternoon she was done with everything and was just waiting for the food to be delivered later and then organised by Kate and Lucille , she went to see How was Klaus preparing for the Fight for the right tonight going .
" Finished with preparation little love ? " . Klaus looked up from his Book and asked her with a smile .
She sighed and plopped down tiredly in the sofa beside him , and leaned her forehead on his shoulder with another sigh . " I think so , I have the Rooms cleaned and prepared . the seating order decided , the Food will be here on time I just have to dress appropriately stand with Elijah Smile and play nice " . Hayley revised with yawn . " do you think I missed anything important ? " . she looked up and asked him self consciously .
" please take a nap first , and you will do more than smile . you will have to show the Humans and your wolves that you are a capable and suitable Queen that you will be a great leader and you are here to stay that they have no choice but to submit to you " . Klaus ordered her seriously his eyes on Hers and it was clear that he won't accept anything less from her or her pack .
she shuddered from merely imagining what Klaus would do t her pack if they turn on her at the same time it filled her with Relive and sort of power to know that she has the backing of the temperamental but most powerful creature in the world .
She sighed and smiled into his shoulder as she hugged him . " I can't force them to follow me just like that , Klaus . I may be their rightful Queen but unless they chose to follow me and trust in me I'm but another wolf to them " . she explained her Thoughts to him .
Klaus turned around and adjusted his sitting to hug her to him his eyes still in hers , " they will be stupid not to love , and I don't suffer stupidity . you have done all that can be done to help them you are fighting for their lives , if they can't appreciate and respect that then to hell with them they can Rot on that swamp for eternity " . Klaus stated firmly , " I don't care for them neither does Elijah , to be honest a side from the two of us my siblings dislike Werewolves , if not for you Elijah would have either left them their or chased them out of this city . as for myself they will either have to submit to me or die " . he told her calmly with no guilt or apology .
Hayley nodded in understanding already knowing that and thankful for how the two originals had done to accommodate her . " I know and I'm grateful for the two of you . I know it's out of your comfort zone to be nice to people who won't bring you any kind of benefit . but this mean a lot to me , they mean a lot to me " she thanked him sincerely .
Klaus smiled and kissed her temple . " worry not little wolf , I promised you as long as they follow you and protect our little girl they won't have to fear us " . he reminded her softly .
Hayley smiled and gestured to the Book in his lap , " how goes your preparations for tonight ? " . she asked him curiously .
Klaus sighed and massaged the bridge his nose in clear frustration , and if groaning wasn't below him he would be doing so as he Answered her , " pathetically lacking , I can't understand what is require from me aside from beating my rivals to the ground ? " . he complained angrily .
Hayley took the book shut it and put it away with a smirk . " well lucky for you you have me , let me run you through Alpha 101 . all that you need to to know to be one " . Hayley informed him with a smile .
Klaus turned to her with intrigue , relive and curiosity clear in his face . " Thankfully " . he quibbed with a smirk she Returned .
" you need to know that tonight is just a show for power to show the Pack and the Elders that you are strong enough to protect them to carry the burden of each life on your Shoulders . The Alpha is a protector a father and a leader once you feel that connection with them you will understand " . Hayley explained to him solemnly .
Klaus listened to her enraptured and confused , once Hayley noticed she took his hand in Hers and squeezed it Reassuringly . " let's take this slowly , today you join your family and fight for the right of the alpha . once you win I'm sure the Elders would want you to learn their ways history and what they expect from you , between them and me we will have you covered " . Hayley promised softly .
He smiled at her and relaxed into her as they basked in the serenity and contentment of this moment of having a friend support and companionship , but the moment was ended too soon . " I think I feel something ". She whispered in confusion as she Rubbed her lower abdomen with a frown .
Klaus hand covered hers as he straightened up and looked down at her with worried eyes . " what is it ? , do you feel any pain ? " . Klaus Demanded frettingly .
She didn't answer him immediately as the fluttering feeling came back again , " no it's not a bad thing " . finally realising what that feeling is she looked up at Klaus with awed and delirious smile . " Klaus I think ...I think Hope just moved " . she whispered softly .
Klaus face changed from worried to gobsmacked as his fingers hosted up the hem of her CAMI and Tracked her skin rubbing her Lower abdomen trying to feel the movement , Hayley bit down in her bottom lip as she waited for the tiny fluttering to come back , it did just where Klaus palm was pressing on her pump , his Brow's flow up in disbelieve as he asked her ," I barely felt a thing ? " .
" she is too young and small for more " . she reprimanded him playfully and the two of them shared worm ecstatic smiles .
Last time she didn't feel Hope moving this early and she didn't get to share this with anyone especially Klaus but now , " she just moved for the first time " . Klaus whispered in awe seeming to just process what just occurred . " she did " . she assured him .
Klaus leaned in and kissed her baby pump reverently as his fingers rubbed the soft skin . " she is already 16 weeks Twenty two more and she will be with us " . Klaus stated with clear anticipation .
" which means we only have as long to make this city a save Home for her " . Klaus continued with determination , before he surprised her by moving to his feet's in one fluid motion and in another gathering her in his arms and speeding of with her to her Room in less than two seconds
He Laid her down carefully in her bed ignoring her Glare with that infuriating smirk of his . " Klaus for the love of all that was Holy , I'm not breakable " . she huffed in displeasure as she wiggled trying to get comfortable .
" you are not but you are sleep deprived , and you will need the biting Wit to Handle tonight Barely " . Klaus reasoned with a wave of his Hand as he made his way to the door .
" Elijah is waiting for me , Now rest " . he ordered as he closed the door behind him .
She huffed in annoyance at his Overbearing tendencies , but he was Right she was Tired and a small night will rejuvenate her . she can nod off or be anything but her beat when meeting her family once more .
LAFAYETTE CEMETERY :
Elijah Pov :
Elijah made his way through the tomb stones and crypts , his polished leather shoe's and grey three piece tailored suit and his hair carefully styled back to present and emphasis his power . visual appearance and self confidence was an important facto when you deal with your enemies .
He had learn this very early in his immortal live when they Joined the nobility and have to play the power game , now that he was to meet when of those powerful enemies an unstable witch . an agent of the ancestors he can't show an ounce of weakness or loss of control especial as he was in their enemies turf . soon he reached the Deveraux Crypt .
The witches have gathered at Sophie's funeral to say their Goodbye's , Monique was standing emotionlessly outside the Deveraux tomb with a candle as a man lays bricks over Sophie's grave . He walked past the gathered Witch's who looked aghast and angry at his presence , probably the witch doing fabricating a lie about her aunt death from the disgruntled and hate filled Whisper's around him , he respectively laid down a Bouquet of Flower's on the witch coffin .
He turned to the indifferent Monique Deveraux and examined the Root of all their troubles and the Reason the Deveraux attacked Hayley and threatened her live , he suppressed his rage at memory of how they had treated the mother of his niece the woman he respect and admire .
" Monique Deveraux , I would console you the lose of your aunt . but seeing as How you were the one who killed her that would be mote and disrespectful to your Aunt " . He drawled out calmly and bit back a smirk as the Witch's scurried away from Monique Deveraux and begin to leave turning back once in a while with horrified and disgusted expressions especially as Monique didn't refute his accusation .
" Why are you here ? " . The witch asked curiously .
" I want you to deliver a message to Celeste for me , tell he to cease her games and come to me directly if she went after my family again . no previous Affection or history will quill my wrath " . he stated coldly .
Monique Deveraux changed for the first time since he joined her , she gave a small Erie smile as she drawled . " That won't be necessary . I have a message for you from Celeste " .
Elijah cut her off with a hand wave , " save it , I know what she want . tell her that I know what she has been up to soon I will find who she is impending her soul in and if she want to live she will come seek me out I will be waiting for her " . he informed her not feeling up to having dead witch names tattooed on his body as Hayley had warned him will happen .
He unlike Niklaus prefer to have his Body free of such blemishes , as artistic as they could be he see no sense in infringing them in his body while he could admire them on paper .
Monique lowered her hand surprised and confused , but nodded in agreement . " I will relay back your message to her , it's up to her wither she will meet you or not " . she a said regaining her calm .
" wonderful " . Elijah smiled in satisfaction before he gave the witch a fearsome glare . " now for you little witch , head my warning. Do not make an enemy out of us , you will not have an easy death if you do I grant you that " . with that he left the witch alone in the cemetery and speed out of the dark place to his car .
He would like to speak with his brothers before he left to the Bayou , and check on Hayley and go over their approach for tonight one last time , he would be quite busy for a while and he loved it .
French quarter :
MIKAELSON COMPOUND :
Bonnie POV :
Bonnie looked around the French quarter in interest , it's her first time on the crescent city . and she was impressed by what she saw , the city was different than what she saw it reminded her of her visit to NewYork with her father .
It was live with music different people the smell of delicious food the feel of freedom and color's the French quarter a mix of French American and other cultures clear on the structure .
The black SUV they were on made its way through many places she heared about but only now got to see like Jackson street , French market , chartres street , etc . she sat on the backseat with Rebekah who was absorbed on her Tablet with a witch named Amanda who is also their Housekeepers and the future governess for Klaus child talk about old school snobbish vampires who use governess this days ? . they are driven by a vampire who introduced himself as Paul and took their luggage to the car without a word .
She turned around when Rebekah put away her Tablet and turned to her , " we are near the compound we will be there in ten minutes , keep our warnings in mind . we are hosting an important event tonight and would be thankful if you stay in your Room just for tonight for your safety as many of our guests have a grudge against Witch's " . Rebekah informed her coolly and she nodded in understanding just then the Car stopped at the entrance of a gigantic four stories compound .
She got out of the car and looked around her new home with a gaping mouth , if she thought the Mikaelsons Mansion in Mystic falls was grand then this place was an architecture magnificence of old .
Rebekah shoot her a smug smirk as she beckoned her inside the compound where clear preparation are taking place with many humans dressed in servants wear are adding last touch's here and their , some fixing clearly priceless vases and checking the lights and organising flutes and drinks in one Table .
Past the foyer and the first floor on the second floor leaning on the Bannister and observing the servants at work was Elijah Mikaelson who smiled at his sister and kissed her cheek affectionately after she pulled away from his arms .
" Welcome back sister , from your smile I see that you had an enjoyable trip . and you brought our ward safely to us " . Elijah teased his sister with a smirk .
" not without a great burden on myself , next time you want to bring in any of our enemies send Kol " . Rebekah complained with a pout , She could see Elijah holding back an eye roll that she didn't even try to hold back and he kissed his sister cheek again .
" and have them come to us as corpse , please I thought you have more sense than this Rebekah " . Elijah drawled out with a smirk .
Wait , what is this about Kol ? . are they insane ? , Kol was dead she saw her body with her own eyes when she trapped Klaus in Elena's home with his corpse .
Rebekah looked around and said with an approving hum . " Hayley has done a spectacular job , I was worried truly with her upbringing and Mis-fortunate " . Rebekah confessed with a hint of Guilt .
" she did Marvelously indeed " . Elijah agreed with a proud beam before he turned to her with a kind smile .
" welcome to our city and Home Miss Bennett , I assure you as long as you say under roof and care you will be protected and given the respect you deserve as our ward " . Elijah promised her and she relaxed .
She had heard from Elena who admired this man of how noble he is and how that he never broke a vow or promise , now that he gave her his she can let go of some of her apprehension . " thank you Elijah , I promise not to hurt your family in anyway " . she promised him sincerely as long as they don't hurt her she won't have to hurt them .
" come with me I Will show you to your Room , you can change and rest . Amanda will send your dinner to you " . Rebekah said as she lead her down the corridor to a Door near the end .
Rebekah opened the oak door with a smile . " your Room is near the guest wing , the other door in the right side is the family wing . you will have our other ward Davina as your next door companion she is a year younger than you treat her kindly please " . with this words she gestured for her to enter .
Her Room was luxurious like every other this g in the compound painted in red and cream her Favourite colors the room was furnished with queen sized bed and across from it a cozy seating area in Red a Desk and Chair a small bookcase filled with novel's and movies in the middle of it was flat screen for her use there was a door that lead to a big Bathroom and her favourite a balcony that opened on the Quarter .
" do you want anything changed ? , or a change of Room ? " . Rebekah asked her politely .
She looked back to Rebekah and shoke her head at lose of word , just then a brunette woman glided into the Room with a beaming smile Rebekah turned to the incoming woman with a Happy smile of her own .
" you are back , thank god " . the girl cried out Happily as she throw her arms around Rebekah's beck and squeezed the blonde original in a tight hug that was gladly returned .
Rebekah laughed as she pulled back and twirled the girl with an examining look . " rejoice and cheer my sweet for your Knight in manolo's is back and ready to support you at your first official act as a Queen " . Rebekah drawled out with a smirk .
The girl let out a musical giggle as she rolled her eyes and sighed . " not you too Bekah , I already have to go through this with Klaus today . I'm not a Queen yet not until they choose me to be theirs " . the girl stated firmly .
Rebekah rolled her eyes and waved her hand dismissively , " please , they better kneel down on their Knees and declare you as their Queen or they will have me to deal with " . Rebekah replied back equally as firm .
The girl shoke her head with a fond smile , " God , you are really the female image of Klaus a less mature one but a close one nonetheless " . she teased with a laugh before her eyes met hers and her smile widened she examined her and now that she was meet with more than her side profile she did the same .
The older woman before her was tall and slim with well proportioned Body except the pump clear from her lace CAMI and leggings , her hair was rich brown that fell in waves and rings around her face and down her back her hazel green eyes were bright with curiosity her face was beautiful with fine bone structure with wide expressive eyes . that remind her of Elena's Innocent beauty with a mix of Katherine seductiveness and confidence .
" Hello , I'm Hayley . i wanted to meet you for a long time " . Hayley introduced herself with a kind smile and extended her hand for a handshake .
So this is Hayley she could understand how Caroline will feel insecure around the werewolf who has a lot in common of Elena with the confidence and power that the Elena lacked , and if Tyler was a close friend with her they will come off as lovers to Caroline , and maybe they were she is not sure but she can understand why Caroline was wary of her .
" hi " . she replied nervously .
Hayley turned to Rebekah with a mock frown . " what did you do to scare the poor girl Beks ? " . she asked with a smile .
" threatening her with a body harm , you know the norm " . Rebekah sniggered humorously .
She shoot the vampire a glare and wished that she had her power back so she can fry her mind , still she turned to Hayley who was talking to her . " it's okay , we will be cousins soon . I would love for us to be friends before that , Look , I know that you have a dark history with the Mikaelsons but give them a chance they are as Good as they are evil it depend which side you fall in with them " . Hayley advised her kindly .
She smiled a little and Nodded doubtfully , Nonetheless she was thankful for the girl kindness . maybe she wasn't that bad after all , maybe they can be friends and she get an ally who the Original's care about . anyway she has no other choice Hayley was right they will be cousin and they may as will stick with each other .
Hayley turned to Rebekah and linked their elbows together and lead her to the door with a pout , " we should leave her to rest , and you can help me choose a dress for tonight I'm still undecided ... " . she demanded form the blonde vampire and with a final wave of her Hand she left closing the door behind her .
Will that was that , now that she done with greeting the Mother of Klaus child ' shudder ' . poor Girl she can settle in but first she need to unpack .
New Orleans :
The Bayou :
Klaus Pov :
Klaus made his way through the Bayou to the clearance where his family was camping . he was surprised when he reached it and there were None of the previously stationed trailers or any hint of the camp only Cary and Shawn with a three other young Werewolves two of which are females they were surrounding three elderly men .
One of the elders a man with bald head and sharp blue eyes was the first to Notice him , " come near Niklaus Poldark we were awaiting your arrival to start " . the man addressed him with his gruff voice .
With the attention of the others on him now Klaus straightened his spine and raised his chin up with a smirk , he moved with calculated steps to join his pack all the while assessing and trying to figure out his competition .
" Greetings , I take it you are the Elders of the poldark pack ? " . Klaus addressed the Elders coolly .
The woman beside the man was the one to answer as she smirked back at him amusement clear in her eye's . " that we are , my name is Elisa Brown to my Right is Alexander William . and to my left is Samuel Anderson " . she answered cunningly .
Klaus looked to the man to her left he was Bulky like Shawn beside him and he can see the resemblance between the two and he can easily guess that he was the dead wolf grandfather .
" and for your information the poldark is the ruling line on our pack your line , we go by the north east application mountains pack " . she continued with an examining look to his person .
" I see " . He brushed her off with a him as he smiled at Cary and greeted him . " Carlson " .
Cary grimaced at Klaus and sighed . " Please uncle Nik , Cary I prefer Cary " . he corrected him with a frown already sure it won't stop him from addressing him with his full name , he can understand why Elijah address him by his full name it's quite entertaining to see others get irritated BT such a trivial thing .
" and you will be ? " . He demanded from the three other Werewolves who was standing to the side of Samuel .
The first woman who has an Aura around her that Reminded him of Katerina Petrova , she had a calculating hungry look to her and he didn't need to ask Cary about her . " this is Gabriella smith she is a descendent of the previous Elder and a contender by choice , to her left is Christian William my son and Elizabeth smith Gabriella's younger sister the two are contender by choice as well as Shawn who you meet before " . Alexander introduced them and each of them gave him a tentative node and in Shawn case a begrudging one that he returned politely .
" we don't have anytime to spare the sun will go down in an hour and the moon will Rise , each one of you will be given aconite to ingest , and in the case of Niklaus Vervain as well " . Elisa who was obviously the one with the most power and sway in the pack .
They nodded their understanding , " you will be fully shifted and confined to the radius of five Miles and no more , we may have no magic but we have our way to confine you here . keep in mind that the moment you chosed to contend for the alpha Right you had forfeited your lives , each death will empower the alpha " . Elisa continued seriously and he his brows raised at this new addition .
Seeing his reaction Cary leaned in and whispered , " it's an old ritual , it sacrifice the lives of the pack strongest fighter so that when the Alpha immerge victorious he will inherit all their powers and live force , it was used to make charge up the alpha's instincts and physical strength " . he explained and he hummed in fascination .
" interesting " . he replied softly .
Cary passed them all vial's of the herbs to drink later with that the elders and Cary had left them with silent Nod's of Goodbye .
Just as the elders were out of Hearing range , Gabrielle turned to him with her curious eyes . " so you are the legendary Hybrid " .
" I thought you will be more you know , scarier not ... pretty " . She continued with a mocking smirk .
His jaw twitched with suppressed annoyance but he was old player of the game and won't let her or anyone else get the rise of him , he knew that his violent temper was infamous and countless enemies had tried to use it against him but they all failed .
" I thought I would be fighting real wolves for my birthright not little girls with a smart mouth " . he retorted goadingly , and noted the way Christian and Elizabeth tried to hide their mirth at the furious expression on the shewolf face .
" strong words coming from the vampire who is wolf in me only , tell me Hybrid how long ago did you became a true wolf ? " . Shawn sneered mockingly .
His eyes flashed in Rage but he held it back refusing to show his the Basterd what he want to see , him losing his focus and surrendering to anger and humiliation .
" not that long at all , but it's more than enough to deal with worms weaklings like you . I faced more dangerous and fiercer adversaries than you can in your entire live and crushed them all with my hands . tonight you will die and I will enjoy ever drop of blood that will spill down my throat , you threatened and insulted me and the mother of my child for that you will die painfully " . with his threat delivered and his Patience tested he made his way to the wood where he will hide his clothes and wait for the full moon .
As he watched the moon rise up in the sky and heared the pained screams and the sound of bones snapped and rearranged he emptied his vial and let felt as the burning liquid moved down his throat burning it and spread through his system eating at his focus and dulling his senses .
No matter he was already trying to build immunity to the herbs in an hour they will be out of his system all he has to do is channel his superior healing ability into healing his mind and regaining his focus before he went after his preys .
Raveling on the sensation and the feeling of freedom his form give him he let out a howl as he adjusted to being four after long months .
Nearby he can make out the sounds of movement and howls as two Wolves engaged in a fight .
' Not yet ' . he reminded himself , ' let them fight and weaken each others while I regain my strength ' .
' I'm Klaus Mikaelson I'm the original hybrid , and unlike them I still have my intellect . I still have my sense of self ' . he thought to himself as he laid under one root of a tree trying to ride the painful spasms that attacked his muscles .

Clarisse patted her shoulder with a smirk before she turned to Her companion who were examining her with wonder and some indiscernible emotions , Mary looked Relive and to her surprise Jackson looked lovestruck .
" let me introduce you to our kin , this is Jackson kenner our Alpha , Mary Dumas his grandmother and our elder . Oliver , Will and Max " . Clarisse introduced as she pointed to everyone of them .
Hayley smiled at each one of them as Kindly and as welcoming as she could , she extended her hand to Jackson with a little proud raise of her Chin and the confidence she wish she has . " Hello , Andrea labonair . it's a pleasure to meet you " .
Jackson took her hand readily and squeezed it with a smile , " Jackson , I had waited for a long time to meet you " . he whispered softly .
Her smile nearly slipped off at his familiar word but she straightened her expression and nodded politely trying not to show the pity , grieve and anger that she couldn't place or understand why she was angry at Jackson .
She shoke hands with all the others before she gestured to The two displeased vampires behind her and introduced , " your Hosts for tonight meeting , Elijah Mikaelson and his younger sister Rebekah . please I know how you feel about vampires in general and Marcel specifically and you have every right to be , but for the better of our kin and the sake of piece between all the factions let's put that hate aside just for tonight " . she pleaded with the wolves .
They weren't pleased as expected but Jackson and Mary nodded in understanding . " you are Right , we Hate vampires with vengeance born from decades of suffering and death but for our people we are willing to work towards peace with the other faction's " . Mary Dumas stated as she looked her , Elijah father Kieran and Marcel in the eye .
" Wonderful , now that we are all in understanding . let's commence with this gathering " . Elijah said with a pleased smile he made his way to the middle of the courtyard and she followed him with Her pack behind her yo join the others in circling around him .
" as you can see only three of the four factions of this city are invited here tonight and I'm confident that dome of you already know why ? " . he said with a smirk to father Kieran who nodded and Marvel who raised his flute with frown . " as of yet the Witch's remain divided and that is to our fortune my friends . in the past days the city had suffered from a series of natural disasters that were by no means natural , Thankfully we were able to prevent the distraction of our home due to their greed and return two of the sacrificed girls to live once again " .
This was meet with Cheer's and claps from the guest's even the wolves who knew and experienced those disasters effects as deep as they were in the bayou .
" my family has built this city three hundred years previously , had ruled it with the help of the factions for two hundred before my brother protegee took after us . once upon a time we coexisted peacefully and aided each other helped each other to prosper and protected each others , we lived by Rules . and I'm confident we can do it again maybe for the next two centuries in the least " . Elijah started His speech and everyone listened to him with attentiveness .
He turned to the vampires and addressed them , " we are the progenitor's of our Specie every one of you and your sire can be tracked back to one of us , we are stronger faster and our healing is a boost to our fighting prows , but we are not invulnerable we have weakness's and we are four very hated by Witch's hunted by Hunter's . centuries ago in order to cover our existence and cover those weakness we always made sure to befriend our Human ...
Neighbors provide protection and wealth and they give us anonymity . first for the sake of our Brother who was cursed to never be himself we made sure to find wolves he can interact with to reduce his loneliness to give him a glimpse of what it would be " . Elijah paused to let his words sink in .
The vampires were whispering to each others with a nod to the humans and seemed to agree with Elijah's statement and back him on his point about the humans at least , the wolves who know the story of Klaus curse from her were exchanging horrified and sympathetic looks .
" but that wasn't the only reason , a witch had cursed us to be what we are now as another did to your kind . we ourselves were Witch's descendants of Witch's cursed and shunned by them , the wolves who joined us will cover our weaknesses were we couldn't fight in day they would , where we couldn't enter they could . where we couldn't touch or question they would as we did the same " . Elijah continued with a serious conviction to him .
" but all of this is on the past , we are here to decide if we want that or not . to know each other to learn to trust each other and bring peace to thus city . this is home for everyone of us , and we all wanted it to remain so . imaging what we all could bring to each others and our people if we joined hands , think of this bounder it and once you came to a decision we can Barley Together once more " . Elijah finished with a smile as he gestured to the foyer . " for now , let me guide you to our Dinning Room , let's share a meal Together " .
With that the three of them lead their guests to the Dinning Room . Elijah took the seat of the head and Host with Her And Rebekah in either side of him . Hayley smiled at Jackson and gestured to the seat Beside her . " you can seat beside me , I'm curious to know more about you all " .
Jackson sat beside her readily with a smile followed by oliver Clarisse and Mary then Will and max .
" so you are living with vampires ? " . Oliver asked her with his usual tactlessness as he took a sip from his soup served to him by Amanda .
" yes I'm " . Hayley answered calmly , knowing that this Topic will be raised eventually this night .
" Ahh , I know that the bayou is not nearly as grand or comfortable as this ..." . Jackson picked up with wave of Hus spoon to the grand room . " but you are welcomingly to stay with us , we don't have much but you will be save " .
Hayley smiled at him with gratitude , " I know this can be discomforting for people like us who grow up with nothing , bit this my child father Home and I don't want to inconvenience you with protecting me when Klaus his siblings are already doing so . you have an entire village of people to care for " . she declined sadly . " but I would love to visit and know you all , knowing what I'm and who are my parents is all that I wanted in live . I may not have them but I have you as family and if you will let me I want to know what I missed on and what could have been " . she continued with hitch of vulnerability , she doesn't deserve it but she wanted to know them truly this time .
Mary was the one to answer her with kindness pity and guilt clear in her eyes . " you are one of us always Andrea , you and your child " . she promised her firmly and Jackson smiled in agreement .
" we found it reliving to know that Hayley could be save with you , our enemies are many and all of them will not hesitate to retaliate on us using her " . Elijah joined their conversation with a polite smile .
" you don't have to worry about us hurting her , you should worry about our retaliation if you do " . Jackson threatened with a low growl , Elijah didn't response he only smirked back at him before turning to engage father Kieran in a casual talk .
Hayley turned to Jackson and changed the topic , " I was looking into some interesting things regarding how the city dealt with our properties and possession after you were cursed , would you mind if we talked about this now ..." .
Jackson nodded in she went on to explain her finding , across from her Rebekah and Elijah
Were working their magic and trying to ease the wolves and Vampire's into save discussion about the city history and music evolution , Mary And Jackson were cautious but polite and thankfully invested into trying this peace thing . finally after a long arduous dinner and a conversation that varied from awkward Silence tense words and veiled insults exchanged that had her nervous and her Head aching and her uncomfortable .
The humans were the first to leave , followed by the vampires thankfully Marcel and his men had kept their word and stayed away from the wolves in Marcel Case out of sight as much as possible , she bid him of with a whispered thank you as he left with his men for a night in the Bar .
Hayley followed her family to the Gate and hugged Clarisse Goodbye , Hayley smiled at her other kin . " I will see you soon " . she promised them softly . " I plan to visit in a few day's " .
Jackson smiled and nodded . " we will wait for you , I was ordered to tell you to ' please bring Davina with you ' , Jane is quite adamant on that " . he teased with a raised brow and she giggled .
" I know that they will like each others , I will bring her with me " . Hayley promised with a laugh .
" look after yourself , no matter what you think do not trust on the Nature of Vampires " . Mary advised her seriously and before she can refute " that being as it may , this family are truthful about their desire to protect you , their men not so much " . she continued with a sigh as she pulled Jackson elbow .
Hayley nodded in sad understanding she knew that contrary to what Klaus belief they still don't have the complete loyalty of the vampires that Marcel posses .
With last longing and lingering look from Jackson and casual and relived ones from the others they left back to return to the Bayou and she made her way back to her Room .
she slipped into her bed with a sigh her head still throbbing which is surprising especially with her healing and the boost of Hope Blood , too tired to even contemplate it she shut her eyes chucking it off to stress .
The Bayou :
Klaus pov :
It couldn't have been more than forty minutes when he gained his strength and went on to hunt his fellow contender's , once he was steady on his feet's and his mind less foggy .
He moved to where he can smell the scent of blood coming from to find the corpse of light brown wolf dead in the ground blood staining her furs from the gauging and teared vessels .
He moved in deeper only to meet with a dark brown wolf corpse , he was about to continue when something tackled him to the ground and bit into his shoulder it was another wolf with brown fur , he let out a pained howl and twisted his face to bite into the other wolf ear nearly tearing it forcing him to let go of his shoulder the wolf backed of with a pained growl his ear half beaten and bleeding rapidly .
Be fore the wolf could recover he was back on his paws and pounding in the wolf sinking his claws and teeth on the other wolf skin and neck and biting down more viciously raffling in the wolf cried of pain as fight and live lift him agonizingly .
Once the wolf was dead he let go of his body , his shoulder was healed by now and just in time as a grey wolf was dragging the the carcass of a dead wolf he let it it's tail Go from his mouth and circled closer to him with Bloodlust clear in his eyes , Klaus relaxed his muscle and leaned closer to the ground as he waited for the other to make the first move .
He didn't have to wait long as the wolf tried to jump him but he sidestepped him the wolf tried to do it gain he waited for him until his back was to him before he bit into a hind leg so hard he heard the crunch of a Bone the other wolf trashed trying to get free of him but he moved father he tackled the wolf to the ground and tore at his neck the wolf didn't gave up and tried to fight but he pressed him with his body and continued to tear at him until blood was running from his neck and staining the earth and his back fur .
Exhausted and feeling victories he trotted back to lay under a tree away from the others waiting for the moon to go down .
