24. chapter 23

Klaus Pov :

He throw the brush on his hand on the table frustrated with his lack of concentration , he had wanted to channel his fury and bloodthirstiness into something productive .

He had spent the entire day and last night in his atelier trying to disentangle the complicated and overlapping schemes of their enemies , the Witch's motives and interests were easy to gauge . but he can't understand Francisca Correa ambitions , the woman had exhausted her efforts to gain their support why would one of her goon's attack the Bayou ? .

The woman is literally a sitting duck in pond of sharks , without Kol artifacts she is helpless against the other factions . why would she lit the kig and start the war first ? , why when all her efforts to obtain father Kieran artifacts are met with failure ? . and why is she so fixated on Hayley ? .

He turned around once he noticed Elijah entering the two didn't speak they turned back to appraise Klaus half finished painting , " Hayley called , she is returning to the compound later " . Elijah informed him calmly .

His dark mood brightened immediately and a smile stole into his lips , " wonderful , she should have returned with us yesterday " . he stated with a sigh .

" it is indeed " . Elijah agreed with a smile , which turned into his usual intogretive look, " may I ask , what had you in a tizzy brother ? " . he asked as he waved to the unorganized aisle .

He stood up and surrendered to the urge to pack as he tracked his atelier floor , he thought before sharing his troubles with his brothers hoping that he may have some answers , " Hayley for a starter , there is something going on with those Kenner's . while I don't doubt their loyalty to her as much as before ..." . he trailed off wanting to hear Elijah's thought .

Elijah nodded with his finger tapping his temple , " they are not as truthful as they want us to believe , to y are keeping secrets to themselves . secrets that bargain to Hayley and what Happened to the labonair clan " . he answered knowingly .

He turned to him with inquiring look , " what did Mike mange to dig out about their massacre ? " . he asked him curiously .

He gave him a frustrated look and waved his hand dismissively , " nothing , there was nothing documented on what occurred that night . no investigation was done on the incidents . everything was hushed , the bodies were all buried . whoever have the slightest information on what Happened that night were all disposed off in ... questionable ways " . he growled out his answer .

" not including Marcel " . Elijah stated and he nodded , " who know nothing of importance to who was behind that night " .

Elijah sighed and said cautiously , " maybe Hayley is right and the Hallow is behind this , something like her would not leave evidences or tracks for us to follow " .

Klaus gave him a dark mocking look , " you forgot brother that the Hallow is imprisoned in the ancestral well , which make it impossible for her to move on the labonair on her own . that abomination has help , someone is working for her or with her and as long as she has allies she will be danger to Hayley and Hope even without her physical return " . he hissed sharing his worry with Elijah who's lips thinned in displeasure and worry .

" still , there is nothing we can do right now . we can only leave this matter for later . the Witch's have been quite for a time now , and they didn't move even with open hostility between the wolves and humans " . he hummed thoughtfully .

He throw his hands in the air on frustration , " which is the point , I don't understand anything anymore Brother , the humans are playing dirty while cozying up to us they attacked Hayley . the Witch's have been watching us from far and the vampires are only half loyal to us " . he Growled angrily .

" we can't touch the Witch's unless they moved against us first , Francisca want something from Hayley she is too fixated on the wolves , we need to uncover what her relation and where her animosity to Hayley came from " . Elijah decided calmly and he nodded in agreement .

They should do just that , Hayley has never met with the woman a side from that one time at the signing of the treaty , the two only exchanged a brief polite greeting . Hayley has once stated that the human criminal wanted her dead for power grab even before the two met , He hoped that her animositywith Hayley was driven by business competitiveness , after all the labonair's had controlled the city illegal business for over two centuries . the same business she and her family took over .

" what did Finn and Kol say about Hayley's vision impairment " . Elijah asked delicately .

His lips twitched in amusement , " nothing concrete I fear that we can't do anything about it " . he answered with a frustrated sigh .

Elijah hummed thoughtfully , " I will look in miss Correa history with mike , there must be something somew... " . he said absent mindedly but was cut off by Rebekah who started in her Prada heels holding a pink file and looking like she is on a mission .

" Nik , I wanted to ... Oh Lijah you are here too , good . I wanted to talk to you too " . Rebekah stated with smile as she took a seat on one of his chair with the file in her lab .

Klaus raised an amused brow at his sister and asked her interestedly , " whatever do you want from me sister ! " .

Rebekah beamed at him as she waved the file in her hand and answered her two expectant brothers , " to cash on that promise you made me , the one where I will get to throw Hayley and you a Baby shower " .

Klaus rolled his eyes at his sister childishness , here he was doing his outmost to keep Hayley and hope save to keep his family save and his sister want to throw a party right after another assassination attempt on Hayley was thwarted .

" No , end of discussion " . he answered her flatly .

Rebekah's eyes narrowed dangerously as she hissed , " you gave me your word " . she reminded him .

" I said I will consider it when the right time came , newsflash sister . we don't have the leisure or time throw you a party " . he retorted snarkly .

" Hayley will enter the nine month tomorrow , I want to do something nice for her and hope especially after what occurred yesterday . I'm doing this out of selfishness and boredom I'm doing this so that when Hayley look back and remember her pregnancy she can remember something's nice not only the attempts on her live or the weeks she spent imprisoned in a tomb or this house , please Nik for Hayley and Hope " . Rebekah changed tactics and pleaded with him sincerely .

He watched her silently for a moment , thinking her words through . he can tell that Elijah is already sold to the idea , he gave it a serious thought . sure , it will be a nice surprise . and it will definitely make Hayley happy , and she and Hope deserve to have this .

" Fine , you can throw the party . but ... I expect you to out do yourself , and I'm attending " . he finally agreed with a challenging smile .

Rebekah's face lit up in Joy and for that alone he was goad that he agreed , Rebekah took a page from her file and passed it to Elijah as she ordered him . " I reserved this venue four months ago , I want you to confirm reservation and make sure that they got everything ready for the parry tomorrow . and while you make your way back home make sure to pick a nice gift " .

Elijah took the page from her hand and raised his brow at the venue address clearly impressed , " I will make sure to pick something appropriate " . he promised before he left .

" that apply to you too Nik , just because you are Hope father . Doesn't make you exempt " . Rebekah ordered him before she speed off to god knows where .

The Abattoir :

Library :

Bonnie POV :

Bonnie put away her phone a side with a sigh , still no emails or calls from her friends . only a message from Caroline demanding to know when she will join them in whitmore and if she needs help with anything .

She missed her friends and she can't deny that she was curious if they miss her or even remembered her at all , at least Caroline messaged she emailed sometimes . but that was Caroline and she never forget a friend no matter what and how busy she was .

To be honest a part of her is angry and resentful of the fact that Elena, Jeremy , matt and Tyler had forgot about her completely , OK , true she and Tyler aren't close but he speak with Hayley from time to time , hell he speak with Klaus from time to time . that one phone call that baffled her to near senselessness , since when were Klaus and Tyler on good terms , uh , not good terms ... But they were civil with each others , and when she asked Elijah about it the uptight dick only replay was , " Hayley had bridged the relationship between the two hybrids , and it was payed for personal growth from Klaus and some due payback and apology in his parts " .

At that point she was too confused and didn't want to know at all , at least Tyler had got revenge for his mother and seem to have let go of his anger and is living his life somewhere in the east coast . and he wanted Klaus help to sort his family estate which Klaus surprisingly arranged for him .

Elena is living in bless with Damon , and she don't want to think of her or Jeremy it hurt so much to even say their names in her head , her childhood best friend and boyfriend .

Matt and she were not that close their strongest connection was Elena and their relationship with her . she can't blame him for forgetting her , he has his life and responsibilities to take care off .

Just as her thoughts were going backs to Elena and Jeremy she was pulled away from her thoughts by Finn Who returned to the room and sat on the chair beside her sofa where she was laying , he relaxed and looked down at her then the phone in the pillow beside her feet .

He didn't say anything but hummed in understanding , " you have been under my tutelage for four month's , you are an exemplary student Bonnie " . He said with a genuine smile that she returned with a beam of her own , she had many teacher's , her grandmother and Shane .

But none of them was a good as Finn , he was a wonderful teacher calm and soothing , complementary when he need to be . stern when the need came , and he paced his lessons so that she mastered each subject before moving to another and always making them interesting and engaging .

" Thank you , to be honest it's because you are a good teacher " . she replied happily and he nodded modestly .

He continued seriously , " I have never preyed into your personal live , but I heard many things about your family situation and your... friendships from my siblings and your grandmother " .

She straightened up her heart hammering in her chest and demanded wide eyed and breathless , " you spoke to grams ? " .

He gave a her an amused look ," I'm dead Bonnie , I can interact with the dead especially as she is here with us , always looking after you " . he informed her softly and a little bit sadly .

Her breath hitched and she followed his gaze and turned behind her where nothing but empty air was there and mouthed a chocked ," Gram's " .

" she say that she love you and she is here for you always until you no longer need her " . he retold her seriously .

Tears filled her eyes and blurred her vision and she sobbed in relief and sadness , " I will always need you grams " .

" she said that you better not , she didn't raise a weak girl " . he relayed with a chuckle , she smiled at where her grams was and mouthed a determined , " I promise " . to her .

Finn cleared his throat before Returning back to the topic , " as I was saying the picture my siblings painted of your friends and you by association is not flattering . as I got to know you I can see where their prejudice and anger had wronged you , and where they took your measure surprisingly accurate " . he stated calmly and she scowled , and here she was thinking that they weren't that bad .

" like what ? " . she demanded angrily and he made a gesture for her to specify , " where did they get me right ? " .

Finn hummed again and answered her Truthfully , " they described you as loyal and brave above everything else , kind and generous to your loved one's . prejudiced and hypocritical . temperamental and ruthless when time call's and most of all you are the most powerful witch they met in along long time beside Miss Claire " .

Well , that wasn't that bad . not one of the litanies she had in mind were in there , " where did they get me wrong ? " .

" you are not as horribly prejudiced as they paint you to be , or you have gotten over it . you can be hypocritical but again half of this family are accused to be " . he trailed off jokingly before he continued , " I think your most serious problem is your martyrdom and your masochistic tendencies " . he worded each word carefully like he wasn't sure if they were right terms to describe her .

She raised her brows at him and shrikes in disbelieve , " masochistic tendencies !!" . " what masochistic tendencies ? " . she demanded angrily .

" well according to the psychological books that I read ... " he started innocently , " you can't read on your on " . she reminded him with a glare .

He gave her pointed patronizing books , " that's where the joys of modern technology came in hand . ever heard of the marvelous creation called audio books " . he replied sarcastically .

She pouted at him , " I thought that humor is lost in you " . she mumbled softly .

He sniffed in offence , " well I always thought that my siblings are bunch off immature pricks , with the emotional maturity of toddlers , of course my sense of humor will be lost on them " . he stated with a fond smile .

She giggled at the apt description , most powerful family her ass . those five can fight over the silliest most mundane things like school children , woe bitide whoever interrupt or contradict their views , well except for Hayley . but this family is warped around her little fingers she can't wait for baby Hope to be born , that girl will own this family and they will let her do that happily .

" well how am I masochistic ? " . she asked him curiously .

" you have the tendency of forming 'toxic relationship's ' , sacrificing yourself unnecessary sometimes and going the extra mile for frankly ... Undeserving people " . he recited calmly , like he memorised those lines .

She thought about it for a few seconds , before relenting " okay I may have died a few times , where I could have found ways to save myself and my friends lives but time was always in the essence . I didn't know a variety of helpful spells and when you work with Salvatore's quick and half thought solutions are the best you clan come up with " . she justified , then she thought more and added " and I don't have toxic relationships " .

" yes you do , let's leave your martyrdom complex and half thought solutions for later . I will ask you sixteen questions according to them we can know if your relationships with your friends are toxic or not " . he ordered her and she nodded with interest .

" keep in mind you must always answer Truthfully especially to yourself , first : do your friends demean your contributions , by subtle insults or outright nagging ? Do you feel put down by their words and actions ? " .

She blinked her eyes and vanished the memoirs of Damon , Caroline and Elena that were swarming her head especially Damon many insult , " No " . she lied awkwardly .

Finn gave her a reproachfully look and she mended her answer , " Maybe a little ,just a little " . Finn raised his brow at her knowingly but nodded and moved to the next question , " second : they never apologize sincerely to you , never consider your perspective and their apologizes always include excises and Buts ? " .

Her mind went back to everytime , Elena apologized to her and even thought that she excepted them they hardly made her feel better , because she always feel guilty after each one of them , " yes " . she whispered softly not looking at him feeling guilty at the admission .

" Third : do your friends ever compare you to others ? Make you feel like you are second to someone and will never measure up ? " .

Salvatore's , the word sprung to her mind immediately followed by everytime she felt like second best to the two in Elena's live , or to Stefan in Caroline's . " Yeah , sometimes " . she admitted sadly , pressing the cushion to her chest .

Finn smiled a sad knowing smile at her and whispered , " I had five younger siblings , when you are the oldest . you are always second to them , and you have to put them first " . he shared and she gave him a comforting smile , no one said that Esther and Mikael are good parents , or that the Mikaelson's are the best siblings out there .

He cleared his throat and continued , " Fourth : do your friends make everything about them ? ... I believe the terms was ' always put themselves front and center '" . he finished jokingly and her lips quirked at his awkward humor more than anything else .

This time the answer came easily to her and she gave a confident , " No " .

Finn tilted his head to the side and he asked her seriously , " were they always there when you need them ? " . she shoke her head negatively , " do they always want your help ? " . he asked and she nodded reluctantly , " speak non stop about themselves , their problems and never ask about yours ? " . he asked her knowingly and under his inquiring gaze she couldn't answer by anything but bare truth , " most of time's " .

" Fifth : do they try to change you ? " . he asked and she smiled at the easy question . " no , maybe Caroline , but she is trying to make everyone better " .

Finn didn't look impressed by her answer and went on to ask , " sixth : do you feel ignored ? , and left out unless they need something from you ? " .

She was late answering him , as the question had hit secret sore spot in her heart , sometime after Elena started dating Stefan and the supernatural coming after her . she felt like the magical shake box that they use to solve their problem of the week . and when she lost her magic , no one had came looking for her or even checking or her always busy cause she can't help them , even Stefan who was the only one to visit came because he needed her Magic . " Yes " . she answered tearfully , angrily brushing the tears from her eyes . god , it was only the six question and she is already crying .

Finn didn't comment , he waited until she dried her eyes before moving to the next question , " seventh : you feel , minimized , unsupported , and brushed off by them ? " .

Did she ever ? , when did she ever feel like anyone but grams was there for her , there was the one time when her mother was turned , Caroline was there . but she wasn't there anytime else . she was always second to Elena and Caroline her problems not important or urgent enough , and her loses Brushed a side . to be fair , she was the one to always put them first and put her live in hold for them , but still it wasn't fair .

" yes " . she whispered angrily .

Finn nodded and moved on , " Eighth : Your self-confidence and self esteem is damaged by them ? " .

She frowned and asked him confusedly , " what do you mean ? " . did he meet her friends , both of her girl friends are gorgeous , outgoing , and the centre of attention everywhere , she long since gave up on competing with them , hell , she mediate and smooth things when their competitiveness get out of hand .

" do they constantly point out your flows and failures , make you feel grateful they befriended you ? " . Finn asked her with a displeased frown , " Damon " . she answered with a deadpanned look . " that a perfect summary , Damon existence in my life " .

" what about Elena and Caroline , do they make you feel self-conscious ? " . he asked her curiously , she shrugged half embarrassed half guilty . " sometimes , you don't understand . they are beautiful , and funny and kind and make friends easily . and they were always first choice when it came to boy's , and the both of them already achieved so much , did you know that Caroline is the head cheerleader in our school , she head every community in our town , she is miss Mystic falls and straight Astudent , And even with everything going on in Her live Elena's grade never dropped , she is in her way to achieve her dreams and be a doctor , I don't even know what I want to be ? " . she confessed tearfully , feeling adequate for the million time and embarrassed to share this with her mentor / friend .

Finn gave her an amused look , " that a heap of gallop shit , you Bonnie Bennett are one of the most exquisitely beautiful women I have the pleasure of meeting . and I am not flattering you in anyway , and from what Elijah told me you are a very good student on your own , and with the slow of losses and deaths you have recently that is a praise worthy accomplishment . you are one of the bravest and most loyal woman ever according to Klaus , it doesn't matter if you don't know what you are doing , my siblings have millennium over you and they are still lost as the day they were turned , you have time to figure out your dreams and accomplish them , don't measure yourself with other's they fail to measure up to you too " . he complimented her sincerely making her blush .

She didn't know that Klaus thought so highly of her . hell , that even sounded like he respected her . and no one had called her beautiful since Jeremy , she was both Happily flattered and thankful . " thank you " . she returned bashfully with a small smile .

Finn smiled kindly at her before he returned to their questions , " Ninth question : do you blame yourself for their Bad behaviour and mistakes ? " .

She remembered how awful Elena has been to them when she turned off her humanity , and how even thought she was mad at her she kept making excuse for her and forgiving her when she didn't even apologize . she remembered Caroline hiding things from her or getting on her business uninvited but she always forgive them and make excuse for them , always blaming herself for their mistakes . " Yes " . she growled angrily .

Finn hummed and continued , " tenth question : does your other relationships suffer because of your friendship with them ? " .

Her mind went to Grams , to her mother and James and her Dad and she sighed and answered tiredly , " definitely " .

Finn smiled sympathetically at her and Thankfully continued without pressing , " Eleventh question : do you associate negative feelings with them ? , like you don't trust them ? , feel save with them ? Feel your worst with them ? They make you nervous and unsettled ? " .

The Salvatore's , they make her feel all of that and more , Stefan less than Damon but still he unsettle her , " yes " . she agreed immediately .

." last question : do you feel used by them ? " . Finn asked her quietly .

She remembered everytime her friends approached her for a spell , or made her feel her existence revolve around her magic that it's the only way she can be there for them . how she felt like she is nothing without it and how she is obliged to use it for their benefits no matter the personal costs to her health , live and family .

" yes " . she answered him sadly , and he sighed .

All of your answers prove that you are in an unfair and toxic relationships Bonnie , I don't mean you have to break your live long bonds but maybe you should revisit each and everyone of them . they seem one-sided to me , you always give and never get anything back and that is in healthy Even by my standard's " . he advised her sadly .

Bonnie gave him wide terrified look , not wanting to even consider this , even if she did she won't know where to start .

" don't be fearful dearest , we are all in need of mental help in someway , Elijah I looking for a mind specialist for all of us ...and I mean the entire family including Hayley , Marcel , you and Davina , I think you will benefit Greatly from their help " . Finn informed her and she gapped in shock .

Oh , oh wow . is there a shrink skilled or qualified enough to handle this psychotic and messed up family , Klaus alone will drive any shrink to suicide , oh will , why not ? it's a free therapy and she will get to see Rebekah and Klaus talking with a doctor that alone will be worth it .

Speak of the devil and they shall appear , Rebekah came swaggering in her designer heels followed by An irritated Kol and a curious Davina and exasperated Marcel .

" I knew I will find you here you two boring people , will , we are having an emergency family meeting " . she announced and gestured for everyone to sit .

Davina sat obediently beside her and shrugged at her inquisitive look , " if you are going to announce that you are sodding mad , I'm telling you to save it sister we already know " . Kol sneered as he leaned on the seat beside Davina , Marcel chuckled amusedly at his comment especially at the death glare Rebekah sent him and Kol .

Finn diverted her attention and effectively stopped the fight before it can start by asking her calmly , " shouldn't we be waiting be waiting for Niklaus and Elijah to join us ? " .

Rebekah's attention was diverted Immediately to Finn as she answered , " there is no need , they already know and approve " .

" approve of what ? " . Marcel asked her curiously before turning tomb l and demanding " you don't think ... Beks are you throwing a party ? " . he asked her in mix of terror and disbelieve .

" at times like this ? , not even Bekah is that callous ! " . Kol snorted I. Disbelieve he trailed off at Rebekah's angry glare and Gasped , " callous Bexy , you are such a terrible being " . he teased her cruelly .

" for your information , I'm throwing a baby shower for Hayley tomorrow in the Benachi House and gardens , and you my loves ate going to help me " . Rebekah stated haughtily .

" sure , that would be good great " . Davina squealed eagerly and she nodded in agreement , " I never attended a baby shower before , sound exciting " . she agreed happily , clutching at anything that can distract her from earlier revelations .

" I don't have any prior experience with such celebrated , but I would love to help you as much as I can sister " . Finn agreed easily widening Rebekah's smile .

Sadly that brilliant smile didn't last long , especially with Kol and Marcel simultaneous refusal , " No , thanks " .

" hey , it's for Hayley , I thought you like Hayley ? " . she argued with a scowl , they can't ruin this Hayley deserve this and she is in need of party to lift her spirit , damn it .

" I like Hope , I merely tolerate Hayley's existence for my niece sake " . Kol refuted with an Arrogant tone , his Siblings shoot him deadpanned looks and Davina scoffed as she translated for him , " he love Hope and adore Hayley , that's what he meant " .

" Excuse you little Dove , I meant every word I said . thank you very much " . Kol said with a smirk his eyes twinkled mirthfully .

" I do like her , but this is not the right time . the quarter is in a cold war Guy's " . Marcel explained with his hands up and the her scowl lighten a little .

" you don't have a choice to begin with , Nik and Lijah has given their approval " . Rebekah sneered threateningly , " I had the venue reserved four months on advance , contracted the best catering company in the state , I just need each and everyone of you boys to dress nicely and bring in your gifts , Marcel invite done of your boys . the ones you like no more than ten and make sure Joshua is one of them " . she ordered the three male on the Room who looked appeased by their tasks , well Marcel and Finn did Kol was glaring at his sister petulantly .

She opened her file and gave took four sheets of papers and handed them to her , " those are the details of the indoor decorations I want you to make sure that the planner I hired follow the printed design to a tee , I trust on your efficiency and experience from helping with all those Festival's your town love to throw " . she ordered her haughtily , she took the four pages and the printed designs and Gasped in amusement and awe .

" This is beautiful Rebekah " . she gasped in awe .

Rebekah preened and throw her hair over her shoulder confidently , " I know that I'm talented , but thank you " . she replied with a smile .

" make sure you pick a nice dress , something that brings out your eyes they are your best assets right after your skin tone " . she ordered her gently , she blinked her eyes feeling quite flattered this was the second time today that Mikaelson complemented her look , " don't let me down , I'm handing you a big responsibility " . she stated firmly .

" I will take care of everything " . she promised her sincerely , she was amassed and touched that Rebekah will let her attend at all , let alone participate in the preparation especially with his much importance she put on this celebration , no matter how experienced she was with helping planning and decorating .

Rebekah moved to Davina and with soft smile and clear fondness handed her two page list , " could you please pick up the invitations from the address in the page and give some to Marcel , hand deliver the people in the list theirs . then give the rest to Clarisse so she can hand it to Whoever wolf should be there " . she orders and Davina took the pages eagerly with a nod .

" you can invite whoever you want from school just make sure they get the invitation and bring it with them so they can enter , and help Kol pick his gift please and nothing magical I beg of you , and if he insist please make sure it's save and useful " . Rebekah pleaded with her and Davina nodded firmly with a warning smile to The pouting Kol beside her , " Bonnie help Finn purchase his own gift please ". She order and she nodded in acquiescence , at least she got the Good and easy to deal with brother , she really felt sorry for Davina .

" I took the liberty to order new dresses for you pick whatever you like " . she infirmed them and she blanched , seriously !! , she didn't even get to water third her new wardrobe and she got her more , by this rate she will never get to ware anything more than once if she wants to try all of her clothes .

With a finale satisfied nod to herself she spinned in her heels and trotted out the door grandly .

" well I guess we all are going to be busy , come on I will drop the two of you off so you can start on Mr's Satan list " . Marcel said with a sigh and a wave for them to move .

Bonnie and Davina went to put on their jacket's and start working on their assigned tasks .

PARK :

Genevieve , Monique , and Abigail are walking through a park , while Genevieve continues to lecture the two girls on magic and the supernatural all the while ignoring the glares the two were fixing on her back like they were trying to set her on fire without resorting to spells .

" New Orleans is full of ghosts . Our dead are always here , hovering . When supernatural creatures die , they're doomed to spend eternity alone , watching the world go on without them . Of course , that's not the case with the ancestral witches . We linger in a different way , consecrated in the earth , replenishing its power " .she lectured the two coolly .

" we already know all of this , what I want to know is why are you holding that invitation in your hand " . Monique demanded with cool eyes as she pointed as the tastefully and elaborated invitation in her hand that Davina of all people had given her before scrying away with Marcel .

Genevieve waved the invitation after showering them the Mikaeslon name which was typed stylishly and elegantly in the back , before answering calmly " I have been invited to Klaus And Hayley Baby shower , I'm sure the other factions leaders are invited too which means I need to attend , You two head back to the lycée , take some time to think about those spirits who might still be walking alongside you " .

Abigail took her leave easily , but Monique intercepted Genevieve stopping her and making sure she can't leave .

" when are they planing to hold this celebration ? " . Monique demanded with a sneer .

" Tomorrow afternoon in the benchil House and gardens " . Genevieve Answered her coolly as shouldered past her .

Monique wasn't deterred she walked beside her to the Gates of the cemetery , " I don't understand , why should we care and participate on a celebration for that abomination , we want the child dead we should kill it not party in it's Honor " . Monique vehemently objected .

Genevieve rolled her eyes and answered patronizingly , " We won't only participate but we will bring gifts too , that what good people do " .

Monique scoffed as she hissed mockingly , " Or , you just want to use this opportunity to see Klaus . your obsession with him is very obvious " .

Genevieve stopped and turned to glare at Monique , " I need the Mikaelsons to trust me so I can get close enough to their Darling shewolf and by extension our objective , and for that I need Klaus to stop suspecting me " .

Monique looked her over thoughtfully , " and how do you plan to achieve that ? " . she asked her curiously .

Genevieve smiled a sad but resigned smile as she opened her bag , " you don't need to worry and watch me this closely Monique , I planTo fulfill my obligation to our ancestors " . she stated sadly as she took a page from her purse and handed it to Monique , " Tomorrow when I send you a message I want you to cast the spell on this page , you can search your Grimoire if you want more information on it " . Genevieve instructed her softly .

Monique took the paper and read the spell , her brows went up in surprise and malicious glee , " this is !? ... " . she trailed off gleefully .

" a dangerous curse I want you to cast it on Hayley , then I will scoop in save her and her child and earn everyone appreciation and trust , so when time's come we could take the two " . Genevieve explained calmly , before waving Monique away , " now that you got your answers you should Go home and start preparing " .

With that Genevieve walked away , leaving Monique to frowns Darkly as she watched her leave , clearly not appeased enough by the plan and the spell .

The Bayou :

The clearing :

Hayley POV :

Hayley looked around the clearing interestedly , it had taken her two hours to find the place especially with having to take a detour and hide her destination from her packs .

She wanted to meet with her ancestors to confront them , and get answer's on what the hell they think they were doing messing with her memories ? .

She could have died for God sake , things could have went worse than the last time , and she in Noway and shape accepted her head being tampered with . well meaning ancestors or not , no one has right to her mind no one .

She planned to sit on the wet glass from yesterday spring rain and wait for them to going her no matter how long it will take ,Thankfully they were already waiting for her like they expected her to come all along . " ah Andrea , please join us " . Nahele invited her welcomingly his cheerful smile grating on her nerves .

He was sitting on the ground with Halona , Dasan and Wahali . all were looking up at her expectedly .

And then she saw Red , " you have the nerves , how could you ? . what the hell were you fucking morons thinking messing with my memories like that ? , hell , you nearly got us killed " . she screamed furiously .

Wahali rolled his eyes and gestured sternly at the empty space left for her in their circle between Dasan and Halona . " sit , and calm yourself down " . he orders her calmly , and gave her a reproachful look like he was reprimanding a child .

She bristled and glared murderously at him , " I'm not sitting , or calming myself down . until you explain yo me why you messed with my head ? , I thought you are my allies that you are on my side ? " . she shouted accusingly .

" calm down child , sit down so we can talk like rational beings " . Wahali ordered her coolly .

She only raised her chin at him defiantly , he glared at her and she glared back . Halona sighed and patted her husband back calmly him down before turning to her and pleaded with her gently . " we are your allies Andrea , please sit down we need to talk " .

She flowers at the four of them but set down with them and glared at Wahali , " Now explain to me everything ? " . she ordered him harshly .

The older man only sighed and mentioned for Dasan who smiled at her and greeted her kindly , " Andrea , how have you been my child ? " .

She softened a little at the old man kind eyes and sincere inquiry , " I'm fine , thank you for asking " . she replied more politely .

" That good , I understand that you are furious with us " . he starred and Hayley sent him deadpanned look , " you have every right to be , but I want you to remember that we always have yours and your child best interest at heart " . he continued seriously .

She opened her mouth to deliver the scathing retort in her mind but he raised his plan up silencing her before he continued , " we have warned you before not to rush things and diverge the timeline too soon or you may tip your enemies or make them alter their plans " .

She downed and protested , " I didn't make any major changes " .

" but you did child , you altered the events of mystic falls to drastically , those changes are one we approve Wholeheartedly , but we told you that until Hope is born you must not change anything major ". Wahali reprimanded her coldly .

she Glared at him and reminded them , " I still kept all the major events at it's " .

" oh , so helping father Kieran survive was keeping major events as it's ? " . Halona demanded softly .

Hayley blanched and looked at her in shock , " I couldn't let him die , he didn't deserve the ending he got . he is a good man " . she protested heatedly .

Halona nodded on agreement , but before she can relax Nahele picked on and countered , " and what of Celeste , wasn't she supposed to try and burn you at one time instead she put a hazardous and evil curse on you ? " .

" hey , that was out of my hand " . Hayley excused with a shake of her head .

" yes because you and the Mikaelson's foiled her scheme's too easily " . Wahali hissed furiously .

" Is this your reasons for messing with my mind ? " . she asked them angrily , if they didn't want her too change anything they shouldn't have sent her back to begin with , she will not stand a side and let her love ones suffer never again .

Dasan gave her a pitying smile , " Peace child , we are only trying to make you understand . there are fixed points in time if they are changed everything after them will . like your daughter birth . believe it or not the manners and the time of her birth are the best of all others because it not only ensure her save delivery but that Esther will not be brought to live earlier than you are ready to face her " . he explained .

" you must understand , now that she doesn't have Kol and Finn to aid her , she will return and bring with her other help , people you know nothing off who will threaten your child live more " . Halona informed her warily and she blanched .

" WHO !? ,... Who will she bring back with her ? " . she asked them fearfully .

Nahele shoke his head at her informed her sadly , " we have lost sight of that dear child " .

" that's why we need you to keep the timeline constant , when the Nexus points of your child birth and your transmission to a Hybrid occurred , we would be able to see more clearly , until then please stop messing the time line . you need to die at Hope birth you need the advantage the transformation will give you " . Wahali insisted earnestly and she nodded reluctantly .

" it's either that or one of you die permanently " . Dasan warned her ominously , chills Ran through her body as she listened to his words , the idea of Hope dying and never getting to live of losing her Baby terrified her just as much as her child growing up without her .

" I won't make any more changes I promise " . she vowed fearfully .

" that is all we ask from you Andrea , be patient , just a little longer . and then you can make as many changes as your heart Desire " . Wahali promised her with a smirk .

" Go back now before it get Dark " . Dasan ordered her gently , " Take care child , we will speak with you soon , but before you leave I want you to take the vial on the burrow of the tree , you should drink the vial before you fall a sleep the potion and the blessing we will give you tonight will fulfil the third blessing with that you have nothing more to do but wait " .

Hayley nodded and moves to the three after a soft " Goodbye and Thank you " . to elders .

She searched the Barrow in the middle of the tree until she found the mentioned vial she took it out for a look and was amazed by the golden glowing liquid inside that looked like the stars were captured in it .

She carefully put in her Cardigan pocket , remembering the Dark blue and Red vial's she had to darin three month's prior .

She made her way to her car and from there it took her three hours to reach the Abattoir by then night had fell and Klaus was pacing the courtyard while waiting for her once he heard her footsteps he speed to her and took her chin in his fingers and demanded worriedly , " where have you been Hayley ? , you should have been here hours ago " .

She took out the vial and showed it to him , " the ancestors wanted me to get this so I had to trek to the Clearing " . she answered him tiredly .

He examined the vial before Returning it to her and guiding her gently to her room with an arm over her Shoulder , " you should have called me , I would have took you there . look at how exhausted you are , I will help to your bed , you can have a light dinner there . I'm sure everyone can wait and welcome you back in the morning " . he ordered her as he fused over her .

She smiled Thankfully at him as he helped her out of her Cardigan and her jeans and shoe's and helped her lay back on her bed comfortably , her back was killing her and her feet's felt like lead .

" oh god , my back " . she moaned tiredly .

He gave her a reproachful look as he fixed her pillows , " then you shouldn't have went trekking in the Bayou in the first place , what if you had cramps or worst got ambushed by one of our enemies . I wouldn't have been able to protect you " . he reprimanded her angrily and she smiled apologetically at him .

" sorry I didn't think that far , I just wanted to finish all my affairs in the bayou , so I won't have to go back until after Hope birth " . Hayley explained Guiltily .

Klaus sighed and pursed his lips he scouted to the end of bed and put her swollen feet's in his laps , he scowled at their state and glowered at her before he started massaging them gently .

She smiled gratefully at him , and relaxed further in her bed enjoying the unexpected and never thought possible treat , " I missed this room , I missed you all to be honest " . she said with a yawn .

Klaus face softened as he smiled at her , " your absence was felt by all Darling ... Specially me " . he return gently .

Hayley beamed happily at him as she took the vial from the nightstand and drained it's content in one gulp under her Klaus suspicious and paranoid watch .

Hayley grimaced at the sweet and herbal taste before Returning the vial to the nightstand , Hayley blinked away her tiredness and the sleepiness that threatened to overtake her .

Hayley hummed and asked him sleeplessly , " how have you all been ? , are you done with the nursery yet ? . can I see " .

" Not yet , but soon . I still have a small touch ups to finish , and nothing impostart happened , things have been disturbingly quite . as for the family , Rebekah have a surprise prepared for you ? " . he shared with a smirk as he let ho of her feet's and tucked them gently under the sheet's .

Hayley sat up curiously as she demanded , " a surprise ! , what is it ? " .

Klaus chuckled at her amusedly , " No , can't do . Bekah will have my head in a spike if I spoiled her surprise " . he tutted mockingly . Hayley glowered at him but he only leaned in and kissed her temple as he whispered . " rest love , I will have Dinner sent up in an hour " .

Hayley pouted at him but he only laughed and made his way to the door , " Night Little wolf " .

She didn't wake up that night nor did she have the dinner sent up to her , the next day she wake up well rested and happy .

She showers and changed into a sky blue long sleeved floral printed short maternity dress and comfortable blue flats and had her hair in relaxed ponytail as she made her way downstairs .

The Dinning room was empty from everyone but Klaus and Elijah Who both looked up from their conversation to smile welcomingly at her . " Ah , Hayley . welcome back , how have you been ? " . Elijah greeted her Happily as he stood up and pulled a chair for her between the two of them " .

Hayley smiled Thankfully at him and kissed his cheek in greeting before sitting down and doing the same to Klaus . " I'm feeling loads better , I didn't have such good rest in months " . she sighed Happily , whatever that potion was it made her feel lighter and better tremendously .

" you shouldn't have stayed in the Bayou to begin with , pardon me Hayley , but that is not a safe environment for a pregnant woman " . Elijah responded with a displeased frown .

Hayley shoke her head fondly at him , " please don't mess my standers anymore than they already are , as Eve liked to remind me Werewolves had been living and gave birth there all the time " . Hayley replied with a smile as she took a bite from her French toast .

" you are not anyone Hayley , you are a Queen unbefitting to such a setting or live " . Klaus argued forceful as he poured himself a cup of coffee .

"i completely agree with Klaus Hayley . I'm quite thankful that you are safely back here " . Elijah agreed with Klaus and she sighed in defeat knowing that there was no moving this too on this point .

" well I'm back , for a long time " . Hayley stated defeatedly .

The three of them had light breakfast while they chatted over trivial things , after breakfast the two excuse themselves with business and prior engagement and she returned to her room to read up a little .

Hour's later and just as she was about to go looking for Amanda to ask for tea , Rebekah stormed into her room with two boxes in her arms as she called for her . " Hayley , look what I bought for you " .

Hayley moved from her place by the Balcony back into the Room to Hug Rebekah who disposed the gift boxes on the bed , the two hugged each other Happily as Rebekah stepped back and rubbed her pump affectionately , " Hey baby , did you miss me . I missed you so much " . she cooed and her face broke into a mad grin when Hope kicked at where her palm was .

" oh did you feel that , she answered back " . Rebekah squealed ecstatically .

" well , here you get it . she response to you more than me " . Hayley complained with a playful pout .

Rebekah beamed happily at her as she pulled her to the bed sh handed the biggest box once she sat down , " open it " . sh surged her eagerly .

" is this about the mysterious surprise that Klaus Teased me about " . she asked her curiously as she opened the box .

" Niklaus , that bloody wanker . he promised to keep this a secret , I even kicked everyone out the house before you Wake up " . Rebekah bristled furiously .

" wow , no need to blow up . he only mentioned you are preparing a surprise to me ... Oh my God Bex " Hayley started to excuse him not wanting to direct Rebekah's ire on poor Klaus , he Doesn't deserve it this time , but she trailed of and exclaimed in awe once her gaze fell on the item inside of the box .

She carefully took out the beautiful rose pink dress and examined it eagerly , the dress was very beautiful . it was a Cold shoulders lantern sleeve cocktail warn dress it's long and wonderful .

" Bex , its very beautiful . what is the occasion ? " . she asked her softly still affected by the dress .

Rebekah smiled meaningfully as she answered , " do you remember the promise that Nik made to me months ago , that I can plan your Baby shower , will this is it " .

Oh , there is that . she blinked her eyes shocked , surprised and touched by the gesture . she didn't had one in her past life , and she didn't know if she should let herself indulge in this or find an excuse to stop the whole thing , maybe faint being Ill . but one look at Rebekah's sparkling eyes and eager expressions and that plan was shoot to hell , what the hell ? , keeping the timeline can wait until Tomorrow .

" I hope you bought me a comfortable pair of shoe's with this , I can't wait to see what you planned for us ? " . she replied with a smirk .

Rebekah's face lit up like a Christmas tree , and all doubt leave her in the face of pure joy and eagerness in her sister face .

Rebekah wave the middle sized box and open it to take out a pair of suede fur flats in matching color , Hayley beamed as she took the dress and shoes and went to change onto the two .

Once she returned Rebekah has already left to prepare herself and do a last minute checkup on the venue , she sat infront of her vanity and started on her hair styling it in a curly bun with backward hairband with white gold leafy hairband with pearl encrusted flowers .

She paired it with a dangling pearl necklace and pearl Bow necklace , she put on a light makeup . just as she was checking her Look on the mirror A knock in the door interrupted her inspection . " come in " . she invited calmly .

The door was opened by Klaus who asked her , " are you ready to... " . Klaus trailed off when he saw her and Hayley turned to him and asked him with a confused frown . " yeah , um ... Is something wrong ? " .

Klaus cleared his throat and looked up to meet her eyes , " no , let's get going " . he urged her softly .

She nodded and picked her phone as she moved on to Join him , she looked him over and smiled at the dashing figure he made in his three piece suit , " aw , you look amazing " . she complemented him after passing him her phone to hold while she fixed his crocked bow .

Klaus laughed as he leaned and kissed her nose and asked her amusedly , " shouldn't that be my line sweetheart ? " .

She laughed mirthfully at him , " definitely , but I Know that already . but I may have to keep an eye on you tonight , we don't want anyone to make untoward move's on you now do we ? " . she teased him happily as she took his offered arm , Klaus Brusted out laughing making her grin widen more .

" and that another one of my lines stolen by you " . Klaus reproached her playfully .

Klaus opened her door for her and helped her to the passenger seat , he took his place in the driver seat . " you look breathtaking Darling , I will definitely keep an eye on you tonight p" . he stated calmly and she raised her Brow's at him fighting the smile from overtaking her face .

Hayley hummed Happily , she looked out the window at the moving scenery . " where is the party anyway ? , now that I think about it I know nothing about it " . she asked him eagerly .

Klaus smirked at her and refused to answer , she glared at him but his smirk only widened , she Huffed and crossed her arms over her chest with a pout .

Seven minutes later Klaus parked on one of the private stops inside a manor . Klaus got out of the car and speed over to her door , he helped her out of her seat and guided her out of the parking and inside the garden with an arm around her waist .

She looked around the gardens it was beautiful and professionally mended , it was mid spring and the flowers are in full bloom . she smiled at the scattered gazebos decorated with pink balloons and Roses , they moved to the center of the garden and to where the house was looming .

She stopped at one of the fountains that was filled with scattered with all types of pink flowers under the sun and pink balloons streamers , " an over kill by all accounts , and typically Rebekah , don't you think love ? " . Klaus asked her with an amused chuckle .

" oh , hush . like you don't adore her too the moon and back , and for your information she is took after all of you " . Hayley chided him laughingly .

" too true " . Klaus agreed with a theatrical sigh .

The two continued until they reached the front garden and the patio , were all the guest were waiting for them to enter . everyone were dressed for the occasion , women in beautiful light colored dresses and the males in fine tailored suits .

They were mingling around while the waiters moved around them with trays filled with cocktails , aperitifs and various appetizers . she gasped at the beautiful rose arch's and the leaves themed animals of giant wolves , unicorns and cute bear's the ground was covered in pink balloons and roses along with hydrgenia's and Carnation's . to the point you can see the grass underneath .

Rebekah was the first to spot them and made her way to them in her silver sleeveless empire dress , her hair was curled and left to fall freely down her back , she looked as beautiful as usual .

She passed her glass to Marcel and floated over to them with a Bright smile , she kissed Klaus cheek and squeezed her in a tight hug . Francisca who was speaking with her and Marcel gave Marcel a small smile as he excused himself and followed after her , Francisca alternated between giving the garden an admiring scrutinizing look to scowl at the lovely and utterly extravagant decorations .

Rebekah has gone all out , and this is just the garden and outdoor reception . " you are finally here " . Rebekah greeted them with a pout , she turned to Bonnie who was enjoying her cocktail and gave her a look .

Bonnie who looked stunning in a roman style Emerald green dress , turned to stranger middle aged woman dressed in white female suit , and nodded at her the lady made her way inside .

" Pardon our delay sister , traffic was a Nightmare " . Klaus Joked and Marcel sent him a disgusted look , " seriously man , this place is in the Quarter only seven minutes from your residence " . Marcel exposed him happily .

Klaus scowled at him and Marcel smirk only Crowed wider in return , By then Elijah had made his way to them with the two girls . he patted his brother back and kissed her cheek affectionately , Davina who looked adorable in rose gold gown smiled at them and hugged the two happily , Klaus patted her on the back like a child . and even thought he didn't smile at Bonnie and neither did she at him they shoke hands civilly , before Bonnie moved to hug her tightly in excitement that she returned .

" I know it's late , but can I still say congratulations ? " . she asked her amusedly .

" Nah , leave that to after birth . just give me your well wish's " . Hayley replied solemnly , " Bonnie squeezed her hand and frowned a little worriedly at her and for a moment it seem like her powers were back and she felt the same feeling of cold death she felt from the Original's but she brushed it off immediately , " I wish you and your child all the happiness in the world " . she said sincerely and Hayley squeezed her in a tight hug again .

She was relived to find the Bennett witch well and happily occupied that she and Rebekah and Klaus are in their way to move from their mutual dislike , in a nerve grating slow pace . but Beggars can't chose .

Elijah put on arm around her and turned to Rebekah reminding her , " we should probably move inside , after all we don't want the guests to stand too long " .

Rebekah nodded before she stepped to take Bonnie's arm and stood by Marcel who was escorting Davina , they made their way inside and the helpers opened the door for them . one look at the anterior decoration and a sigh left her lips , it was both an admiring and exasperating sigh .

Large Round table were organised with light pink clothed chair and table clothes and linen , the middle of the tables were hallowed and filled with Pink Balloons , over it and and from the ceiling strings and veins descended with wisteria flowers , pink Roses and tiny pink butterflies . silver wares were arranged neatly in each table , the giant Chandelier's gave the setting a fairy tale feel .

around the room and arranged tastefully were traditional shower décors , all painted in Gold were baby bottles , Baby blocks and small carriages .

She took her seat at the center table after Klaus pulled her chair for her , and only then did she notice that in front of early guest tableware were a pearl draped pink rose floral centerpiece and a white candle , beside it where two small bottles for each guests to chose from . one was a bottle of pink OPI nail lacquer and the other was small black perfume bottle that smelled of musk and vanilla , a male perfume .

She turned to the proudly Smiling Rebekah who was busy with Davina and Bonnie , and asked her worriedly . " Rebekah , just how much did you spend on this party ? " .

Rebekah rolled her eyes and assured her . " Not more than I will spend in week shopping , stop worrying and enjoy it " .

" You didn't need to go all out like this , a small celebration with only us would have Been fine " . Hayley argued guiltily .

" Darling it's only 350,000 dollar's " . Rebekah answered easily and her eyes widened in shock , Bonnie choked on her drink and Davina looked like she was punched in the gut , Rebekah took in their reactions and hurried to defend herself " Elijah spend thrice this amount on cufflinks and wristwatches and shoe's , annually . Nik , twice that one on his carefully selected art supplies . Marcel in alcohol and parties . this the only chance I will ever have for something like this until the Baby birthdays . don't stifle me please " .

Then she moved to change the topic , " what do you think of this my designs and research , Bonnie here implemented and supervised everything with the artist . and Davina sent out the invitations " . she waved at the two girls who had Thankfully recovers by now .

" you didn't bring me anything extravagant Right , I already have more than I need " . Hayley asked them nervously , feeling like she is taking advantage of their affection to Hope somehow .

Elijah gave her a kind smile as he patted her hand , " today is your day Hayley . it's natural that we will spoil you a little " . he informed her with an amused glint in his eyes .

She sighed and turned to look around for the guests , " giving up already !? " . Marcel asked her with a chuckle as he finished his drink .

" previous experience taught me to except things compartmentalize and find the bright spot on every similar situation " . Hayley answered him with a grin .

Marcel and Bonnie who was listening looked at her in silent Inquisition waiting for her to elaborate , and she did with fond smile to the three Mikaelson's , " it's the only healthy way they know to show love and care " .

Rebekah blushed and looked away from Marcel knowing smile , Klaus ignored her remark but he was smiling so was Elijah who looked amused and happy . Bonnie looked enlightened and shared a Giggle with Davina who seemed to entertained by the goings around , Kol influence no doubt .

Her gaze keep going back to her favourite part , " I love the rose arch , can we have one like this in our garden " . she asked Klaus with a puppy doge eyes , he caves immediately promising to find gardener or a company to plant one .

She beamed Thankfully at him and turned to inspect the guests , on the table across from her were Jackson , Eve , Clarisse , Lillian and two other males were talking animatedly , Jackson caught her eyes and waved at her with a smile that she return .

Her gaze fell on the table beside them where francisca was sitting with prominent and elegantly dressed women she remembered being the mayor wife , the sheriff wife and some prominent businesswomen and socialite's .

To her left was Diego and Joshua with other vampires all who seemed hell bent to enjoy their blood spiked alcohol beverage's , she stifled a Giggle once she spied Josh stealthily pocket the Nail Polish from infront of his two distracted friends on each side of him . a sharp inhale from Klaus alerted her that he already noticed the movement too . he leaned over and whispered to Marcel , " tell Rosza that I will gift him an entire bag , just for the sake of everything bloody let him man up for tonight " .

Marcel , Elijah and Rebekah turned discretely to Josh who was stealthily trying the nail polish in his pinky . Elijah sighed and Rebekah giggled , Marcel face palmed and fished his phone from his pocket and massaged Diego who gave him a pained look after reading his massage before patting Josh on the back and handed him the one in front of him with a smirk .

LYCEE :

Monique and Abigail were setting out the ingredients for a spell in the greenhouse .

Abigail gave Monique a worried look as she spoke carefully , " I don't know if the ancestors would like us messing around in the spirit world " .

Monique gave her a confident look as she continued her preparation , " we are not breaking the rules , we are communicating with one of the ancestor " . she assured her confidently .

She then sat a silver ring in the middle of a circle she drawn in chalk on the table , where she had also scattered salt and herbs in various quadrants around it .

" who do you want to contact ? " . Abigail asked her curiously as she stepped back a little .

Monique gave her a look and answered her sadly , " my mother , I want to speak with her . even if it just for a minute " .

Abigail smiled understandingly at her , and nodded in agreement , she moved back and clutched each other's hands in order to share their magic for the spell . " Elikopte fantomes soliter mouri, vous reveler... " . the two chanted softly .

Wind started to blow around the two . Monique cut her palm with an athame and drips the blood on her mother ring . All of a sudden , the candles blow out , which scares the girls . Jane-Anne joined the two she open end her mouth to speak before she suddenly disappeared .

" Mom " . Monique called for her mother urgently once she disappeared . " mom , please come back " .

She was startled when A hand wearing a lapis lazuli daylight ring caresses her shoulder from behind . she turns

Ew around with an alarmed expression only to find the hand belonged to an old looking in his late fifties , the man . no vampire was none other than Mikael .

" What a sweet child we have here !? " . he drawled out with a smirk . " lets have a little chat , witch " . he ordered her .

Monique glared at him and demanded , " who are you ? and what did you do to my mom ? " .

" your mother has seeing fit to allow me to talk with you , after all we both have our children best inters at heart " . Mikeal answered her with a smile , " as for my name , I'm Mikael known as the Destroyer , I heard you have a feud with my stepson Klaus " .

Monique eyes widened in recognition and interest but before she can talk with him Mikael disappeared , and all the windows in the greenhouse shattered violently , and the broken glass rained down upon the two girls , Abigail screamed in terror but Monique had a wide mad smile on her face .

Monique smiled as she read the message that Genevieve sent her , " proceed now " , she took out a voodoo doll that she had prepared and starred on the spell , " Purger l'interieur , entiendre la ..." . , then She stabbed the poppet representing Hayley with a pin , " --dans cette f– " . then she sat the voodoo doll on the table infront of her .

Hayley who was speaking with Her pack on their tables while waiting for desert , sensed something weird and off for a second , but couldn't identify what it is . she smiled at Jackson who gave her a questioning look noticing her strange pause in conversation , she smiled Reassuringly at him and took the small gift box he handed her and hugging him tightly in thanks .

The Benachi House and Garden's :

Hayley returned to her seat with her family after thanking francisca and the humans who were the last one she had to greet , she handed their gifts to the water behind her who will have then sent to the abattoir . she felt the same sensation again this time on her chest and the sudden bout of cough had returned once again , she returned to her seat feeling light headed .

Elijah who was the second to returned noticed his flushed and uncomfortable she looked , " You alright ? You look ill ? " . he asked her worriedly .

Hayley coughed as she answers him , " just a little bit tired " .

Rebekah was guiding everyone back to the garden where an orchestra was staring and small tables were added for them to enjoy and receive their Goody bags , Klaus made his way to them and announced easily , " ten minutes more and we can shoo them away .

Hayley moved to stand up and join the guest , when she her cough got harsher and she started feeling woozy , she steadied herself on the table Elijah hurried to support her and Klaus tried to sat her back on the chair when she started coughing blood , she looked wide eyed at the blood stains on her dress and at the two horrified and furious Originals who were looming over her . just as Genevieve who forgot her purse made her way back to retrieve it , she lost consciousness and Elijah and to catch and straighten her up .

The Benachi House and Gardens :

Genevieve his a smile and with a worried frown on she hurries to the three , " I can help ..." . she started but was pushed away by a Elijah who glared coldly at her , as Klaus pushed everything off the table and laid Hayley on one of the few square tables used to showcase vases of flowers and decorations .

" Don't you Dare touch her ! " . he hissed out threateningly .

Genevieve raised her hands in a surrender guested as she tried to reason with the furious Original , " I'm nurse , ... I used to be one . and she need help , I can help her " .

" Let it be , Elijah . Hayley need help there is no else how can help her here " . Klaus ordered him begrudgingly. As he brushed Hayley's hair off her flushed face .

Elijah moved back reluctantly , but let her get closure . " There's a spell I can do . Klaus , get chamomile from the kitchen " .she orders him and with a look to his brother he hurried to search for the kitchens .

She looked over Hayley , who is barely conscious at this point , she was trembling the spell was taking effect faster than usual . she turned to Elijah and asked him hurriedly , " Your jacket , Elijah" . Elijah speed of and in a second he was back with his coat he draped it carefully over her slumbered form .

" She's not breathing , I can hear the baby's heartbeat , but not hers " . he relied and for the first time ever Genevieve saw true terror in Elijah's eyes .

Marvel came back inside and hurried to them with a frown , " why are you still here ? , the guests are still waiting outside " . he balked as he noticed Hayley's state and gave Elijah a questioning look .

" we don't know what's wrong with her , don't let anyone come in ... Just send everyone away " . Elijah ordered him tensely , Marcel looked over at Genevieve and asked him worriedly , " what about her ? " .

" she is trying to help , could you warp this off as politely as possible make any excuse " . Elijah pleaded with him and Marcel nodded and with worried look at Hayley he returned to the garden closing the door behind him .

Genevieve checked Hayley's pulse , Hayley awakened on the table , but the room is completely empty , except for one other person ... She groaned once she saw Mikael . He walked toward her slowly taken his time , and the ancestors were complaining about her changing things so drastically here she was being attacked again by this manic , she jumped and put the table between them .

" who are you ? " . she asked him playing oblivious as she tried to reach for anything she can use as weapon .

The Benachi House and Gardens :

Genevieve pressed a damp bundle of chamomile against Hayley's forehead and chanted a spell in French / Creole . " Coeur blessé , battre avec mwen . Coeur blessé, battre avec mwen " .

Klaus who was pacing at the table edge while looking at the barely breathing Hayley , growled frustrated at the lack of response or change on her condition and scared at the possibility of losing the two , he bite down into his wrist and dribbled the blood into Hayley's mouth in hopes that it will heal her . " Come on ! " . he urged Hayley worriedly .

Klaus looked at Elijah in fear , " She's still not breathing . It's not working ! " . Elijah shouted as He angrily throw a table against on if the tables , shattering both into pieces .

He turned to Klaus who looked perturbed at his lose of control and like his fighting his own tantrum and demanded , " will your blood turn her if she dies ? . what about The child . we need to take the two to a hospital " .

" it will but I don't have any Doppelganger blood for her to complete the transmission " . Klaus informed him fearfully . as he brushed a hand on Hayley's pale cheek .

On the Other Side , Hayley backed off worriedly , avoiding Mikael as much as she can't . God she hated this man with a passion that was unrivalled by non other than Esther and Greta .

" I assume my reputation precedes me " . Mikael asked her smugly .

" yeah , and what a shitty one it's , you practically invented the term terrible parenting " . Hayley sneered at him , she couldn't help but jab back in return glaring hatefully at the older Original's .

" why are you here ? , how am I here ? . what do you want from me " .

He vamps speed over to Her and put her in a headlock before she can do anything , she cried out in dismay and anger and a little fear .

" Welcome to my hell...stuck in an eternity of watching over that hideous creature my children call brother !" . Mikael Growled menacingly .

" don't you dare speak about Klaus like that , they have you for a father what worse relation can anyone get " . she growled back menacingly at him as she tried to free herself of him .

" you Darling should be more concerned with what I want , I want this thing inside you dead " . Mikael whispers in her ear and Hayley screamed in fury and fear , " That kid never had a chance ! And as if your bloodline isn't filth enough , you poison it by merging it with Klaus's " .He laughs manically as she tried to strangle her , " The deathless vermin , fancying himself a daddy ?" .

Hayley's eyes turn lupine gold as she bottled in her fury and focused on freeing herself and getting out of here the longer she stay the more danger she and Hope will be in , she reminded herself that they were in her mind . that she is the one in control here , with a growl she pushed herself out of his grip and broke his arm by twisting it behind his back . Then , she picked up a coat rack and swings it at his head with all the force she can muster , she broke it and stabbed the two pieces into his lower back paralyzing him .

She grapes him by the hair and twisted the make shift stakes deeper inside and relished in his pained screams ," you think I will let you hurt my baby without tearing you to shreds , you have no idea who you are messing with " . she shouted in his face equally as manic as he had been a moment before .

" a you Wolf bitch , I will tear you into tiny pieces I will relish on your blood and painful screams " . Mikael shouted furiously as he tried to free himself but Hayley broke both of his knees with a kick , factoring his healing she did the same with his spine .

In the real world , Elijah was pacing at Hayley's bedside as Genevieve continues to work her spell with no result's , " Coeur blessé , battre avec mwen " .

Elijah Growled and moved to pick up Hayley " I'm taking her to a real doctor " . he infirm his brother who was trying to warm Hayley fast blueing finger's .

Genevieve looked at him with Alarm and hurried to stop him , " If you move her from here , my spell will break . There won't be enough time to get her to a hospital " .

Elijah turned his back on the sight of Hayley motionless Body and returned to pacing more agitatedly , Klaus turned to Genevieve and asked her Coldly , " Will the baby survive if delivered now ?We my have to get her out if she ... dies " . he finished with a sick expression .

" I don't know How far she is , and we don't have the necessary equipments to treat her if she needed it " . Genevieve answered him calmly .

" I can't let her die , she will never forgive me if I let anything happen to her Elijah " . Klaus whispered to his brother , only then did Elijah noticed how shaken and terrified Klaus was ,this fingers where shaken and he looked as pale as corpse .

He understand and agree with his brother , Hayley would never forgive them if anything happen to Hope . she would want Hope live to be saved over hers . but he can't allow that , he will not lose the two , never .

Elijah squeezed his brother shoulder and reminded him , " Hayley won't survive , she will bleed out " .

" she has my blood in her system she will come back , we will figure something . I will find away " . Klaus roared furiously .

Genevieve looked down to hid her guilt " ... battre avec mwen . Coeur blessé , battre avec mwen " . she muttered , for the tenth time , the spell should have broken a while ago . why is Monique fighting her ? . this is not what they agreed on .

She will not let that girl ruin her plans , if the child die with Hayley then their palms are all for nothing , " I know what to do . Get my bag , thegrit grispouch ! Now ! " . Genevieve orders and Thankfully just then Amanda who was brought over by James who used his vampire speed , Brusted in with a bag filled with herbs and Grimoires .

She took the bag and handed it to Genevieve who took it and returned to her spell , Elijah and Klaus gave the two incredulously and baffled looks . " Mr , Gerard called he didn't trust the witch , I brought Amanda as fast as i could " . James explained and the two nodded Thankfully

Hayley continued to lay still on the table , as Genevieve dabbed a wet cloth on her head ,

On the Other Side, Hayley and Mikael were still facing off , Mikael broke free from her grasp , a thought came to Hayley as she dodged an attack from Mikael's by jumping over a chair .

" you can kill me now , but you need me . without my help you can never see your daughter Freya again " . Hayley shouted back halting his steps .

" don't you dare speak my daughter name on your filthy mouth , what do you even know of her ? " . Mikael's roared as he lunged at her .

Hayley smiles as she got him exactly where she wanted .

In the Living world :

Genevieve spread salt around Hayley on the table as she continued to get visions of Monique casting the spell even after she started the counter Curse .

On the Other Side :

" There is no saving that atrocity festering in your womb . Klaus will destroy it , one way or another . Better he dies now , and you along with it ! " . Mikael roared as he took out the piece she stabbed him with in the stomach when he lunged at her it was small , ineffective and she barley dodged but it slowed him down enough for her to escape the corner he packed her to .

She runes to the stairs , Mikael jumped up onto the second floor balcony , she jumped back to the floor broke a chair leg with a kick and tightened her grip on the stake .

In the living World :

Genevieve crushed the herbs with her fingers and spreads them over Hayley's body .

In the otherside :

" I'm doing your child a favor , Klaus is an abomination not suitable for fatherhood " . Mikael growled at her .

She sneered up at him in disgust , " you are the last one who can speak about fatherhood , my daughter will have the one advantage that Klaus never had , she will never ever know you " . she repeated her vow from a past live .

Mikael jumped down to where Hayley was and before he can land she stepped a few a steps so so she faced his back when he landed she didn't hesitate to plunge the stake in his heart before he can speed away .

Mikael screamed in agony .

In the living world :

Hayley awakens with a loud gasp on the table , Klaus' blood still covering her mouth and neck . Elijah hurried to help her sit up , and Klaus rubbed her shoulder affectionately .

" You're alright , love . You're alright " . Klaus cooed to her she her brushed her hair back from her face .

" How are you feeling !? ". Elijah asked her worriedly as she checked her pulse .

Hayley took a deep breath , and informed the two , " I saw him . He tried to kill me and My Baby . I saw Mikael " .

The two brother's exchanged apprehensive and worried looks over her shoulder .

" shush Darling , leave that for later . you need to rest , Amanda is her she will take you back Home " . Klaus said as he helped her to her feet's and let Amanda and James support her outside , where the guests had already left and Diego had taken the girls a home .

Rebekah and Marcel were waiting outside for her , Rebekah who was crying smiled in relive once she saw Hayley awake and walking . Marcel had told her of what was going inside and stopped her from entering . he insisted that the two of them stay outside in case someone used this opportunity to attack .

Klaus turned to Genevieve and smiled at her gratefully , " thank you , you saved my daughter and Hayley's lives . I'm in your debt " . he stored before he hurried after his sister and Hayley .

Elijah was the only one who was still with her she looked to the original apprehensively and he gave her a dark look , " we are in your debt , but if I find out that you were involved in this in anyway I will end you mercilessly " . he vowed before taking his jackets and going about compelling the helps manager and planner to forget anything a miss with today's party , and to clean-up the mess .

The Abattoir :

HAYLEY'S BEDROOM :

Hayley was sitting on her bed arranging the bile of baby Cloths and gifts the guest had given her , she had changed into a comfortable black maternity dress . when Klaus approached her room . She notices him and smiled at him , welcoming him inside she showed him , the stuffed wolf toy in her hand .

". A gift from Jackson it's cute , right !? " . she asked him with a smile .

Klaus didn't answer or smile he too the wolf from her hand and out him away , he kneeled by her and took her hand before squeezing as he spoke , " You've proved quite resilient , little wolf . Fighters , both of you " .

Hayley remembered this conversation and squeezed his hand tightly back " it's in my name , is this about today's encounter with Mikael ? " . she asked him worriedly she know the effects Mikael had on Klaus .

" in a way yes " . he answered her Truthfully .

She stroked his cheek with her fingers sadly , " he won't be able to harm us again , soon Hope will be born , they can't use me to kill her anymore " . she assured him softly .

" they won't be , but that won't stop them from trying to kill the two of you , they know that I care . that it will destroy me to lose any of you " . he told her emotionally and she couldn't do or say anything else but hug him tightly the memories of his break down after her death hunting her , he squeezed her back just as tight .

" we will be fine , I promise " . Hayley vowed I to his neck .

" I will make sure of that " . he promised her back .

He pulled back and kissed her nose affectionately , she smiled softly at him . " I'm sorry that they ruined your day again " . he apologized regretfully .

He stood up and helped her to her feet's " I know where you can keep all this gifts ... Come with me , hmm ? " . she followed him as he took a key from his pocket and opened the door in her room leading to Hope nursery .

Hayley followed him excitedly , he opened the door grandly and waved her into the already prepared and set up nursery of her past live , everything was prepared and ready . the crib , a bassinet , and the gorgeous mobile hanging from the ceiling that used to occupy Hope attention as baby , Hayley stares in surprise as she takes everything in , its exactly the same even the ricing chair is here filled with pillows .

" I made sure that everything is set as it was in your vision , I wanted our daughter nursery to be the same one with nothing missing . I part she will be as happy here as she was in your visions " . he spoke gently his hand rubbing the crib with wistfulness .

" she will be , she will have You , me , and Elijah , her uncles and aunts all under one roof ? , she will be the most applied and loved child in the world " . Hayley reminded him with a laugh as she touched the small blanket inside the crib .

Klaus didn't react his thoughtful eyes turned to her and he asked her calmly , " you said you saw my father ? " .

Hayley squeezed his hand reminded him , " Ansel is your father , Mikael is your nightmare . he doesn't deserve for you to call him that " .

" He's done damage only a father could do " . he confessed sadly to her and she pulled him to her side hugging his middle and he hugged her shoulder taking comfort from her silent support .

" you give him too much power over you , he is nothing but coward failure of a man " . she hissed hatefully .

" What did he say to you ? " . he ask her worriedly .

" Nothing but his delusions and lies , I will never listen or take his words as anything but dirt " . she told him venomously .

Klaus smiled warmly down at her , he kissed her head before he left the room . leaving her to continue inspecting the room , Hayley's attention was moved to the painting that Hope always kept in her bedroom , Klaus had hung it after he finished it , he painting was of New Orleans . It includes a cityscape at night with a large full moon painted in the sky above the buildings , she smiled at the memories this peace brought her .

It was one of the items hope treasured , it reminded her that her father wanted her . and that he had waited for her birth with the anticipation that all parents have . it meaned the world to her as child and young teen .

THE FRENCH QUARTER :

The Abattoir library :

Klaus joined his siblings and Marvel in the Library after excusing himself from Hayley after checking on her .

Finn was the first to greet him , " Amanda had examined Hayley , she is doing good . your blood and Hope in her system is helping her healing " . he informed him and he relaxed .

Marcel gave him a worried look , " Klaus your pa has attacked her , your dead father " . he reminded the originals , pointing out what is surprising them all .

Kol sneered and answered hatefully , " the old cot has had help , a witch help " .

" No one but mother will trust Mikael , all Witch's fear him " . Rebekah pointed out to them .

" Again last I checked she was dead and buried here " . Marcel pointed out worriedly .

" exactly , that's not mother works . mother would have snapped Hayley's neck from across the city or brought Mikael to live literally to kill her " . Elijah argued and Finn nodded in agreement .

" so one of the Witch's here is allying with father , great . like we weren't already doomed " . Rebekah shouted furiously .

" let's focus on Hayley and Hope . Rebekah you should take Davina's and Amanda and start preparing yourselves to bring Kol and Finn Back . Hayley insist that she will give birth soon . we need to be ready " . he ordered Rebekah who nodded in understanding .

" I still have the indestructible white oak if Mikael find his way back I would lodge between his ribs " . He vowed darkly , no one terrorize his little wolf and attack his child and leave , especially not Mikael the cycle of hatred end with his daughter .

LYCEE :

Genevieve run into Monique when she returns home , and grabbed her angrily by the arm .

" What thehellwere you thinking ?, why didn't you follow the plan ? " . Genevieve demanded furiously .

Monique glared at her and tried to wrench her arm free , " I was trying to do what the ancestors asked! " . she excused angrily .

" That baby is a part-witch ! The ancestors want her consecrated to the earth so her magic can fuel our community ! She has to bebornfirstbeforeshe can die !" . she screamed at the stubborn harvest witch . " don't make decisions on your own , I'm your coven elder . you will follow my orders and nothing more from now on " . Genevieve threatened her before she smacked her arm and pushed her away , " leave , I don't want to look at you " .

Monique glared at her and stomped away angrily . Once she left , Genevieve rushed around the room , gathering ingredients for a spell . She poured salt in a circle around a bouquet of dried flowers . As she chanted, she took off her gold necklace and placed it on the table with the rest of the components for her spell . " Nouvel vie , nouvel ame , me longe avec nous on cette . Miséricorde , don't make me do this " .She starts to cry " She's a baby . Don't make me a monster ! Please... " . she pleaded with the ancestors trying to change their mind one last time .

The wind started to blow violently around her , and blood started to drip from her eyes and nose as the ancestors punished her .

" No ! " . she cried fearfully .

An invisible being throw Genevieve into the air , and she slammed against a tomb before the force thrusted her forward and causes her to fly face first into a tomb . She Groaned in pain and grabbed her nose as the whispering spirits of the coven's ancestors start to grow louder and louder around her . Blood begins to gush from her nose and mouth , and a terrified Genevieve began to plead with them , " No ! No !, I'm sorry , I'm sorry ! I'm sorry ! I'll do it , I'll do whatever you want! I promise , I will kill her I promise " . she pleaded frantically with them .

LYCEE :

Monique returned to the greenhouse cursing Genevieve and the Original's violently under her breath , she started throwing around any object she can get her hands on when suddenly the wind blow through the broken windows she stopped . and looked down at her bandaged hand , she saw that her palm has begun bleeding again in the same wound she used in her seánce spell earlier . She turned when she started to all the candles and lights in the room flickered .

" who is there ? " . she called out once she sensed someone behind her .

She turned around and was met with Mikael's form flickering in front of her .

" you are Klaus father , what do you want ? " . she asked him angrily .

" he is no son of mine , but I'm the only one who can rid you of him forever. But first , my little witch , I need you " . Mikael said temptingly .

" What do you want me to do ? " . she asked him interestedly as she put down the bowl in her hand .

" I want You to bring me back to life , I can handle the rest " . Mikael stated softly .

" in return , you will give me his daughter " . she demanded covertly .

Mikael looked her over curiously and asked , " what would you want with the pest ? " .

" I want to kill her " . Monique answered him easily .

Mikael laughed manically as he nodded in agreement , " you have yourself a deal love " .
