The Abattoir :
Hayley put down the now sleeping Hope back on her crib , she smiled down at her daughter who returned to sleeping peacefully after being feed and changed .
She could barely part with her Baby or put her down , apart of her was afraid that she will be taken away from her again or that she was dreaming this whole chance as some sort of peace , only the sound of Hope tiny but fast heartbeats her fast breathing and her blue eyes when she open them seemed to anchor her .
As much as she wanted to forget the event of last night and focus only on the fact that she has Hope now , she can't forget that she is a Hybrid now . she loved being a hybrid as much as she loved being a werewolf both had their perks and downside but she was thankful that she died soon after Greta's witch cursed her , she new that she would have never been able to live without her werewolf side the part of herself she was most connected to and proud off .
She would have tried for Hope , but she wasn't given the chance . at least now she had the chance to be as herself , be with Her daughter protect her family without the ancestors interference as they promised her the freedom of handling everything as she wished now that Hope was born when and where she have too .
She looked up from the crib and smiled at Klaus who was leaning on the door , probably awakened by Hope cries . he smiled and entered the Nursery , he passed her a flute of Blood that she accepted with a smile .
She watched with Joy as Klaus leaned in to look at their daughter with fascination , the awe was still there and it will take time to fade but she enjoyed watching his expressions around their daughter . last time they only had two days with her before giving her to Rebekah , now they had the chance to watch their daughter grow up infront of their eyes , a joy that Klaus was denied multiple times before .
" you should finish that love , you still look pale and weak " . Klaus urged her gently .
" I will " . she reassured him , before asking him softly . " have you settled for a time for our plan ? " .
Klaus moved over and with one palm on her lower back guided her out the nursery just as Amanda came in with her knitting basket to babysit Hope until she returned .
They moved to the first floor living room to join the other family members for their closed meeting , " we will attack this evening just as the Witch's are busy worrying over their Missing members " .
She nodded and sipped from her flute , Marcel and his men had Happily taken to their part of the plan . after Kol and Klaus had used their magic on the weaker willed from the two harvest girls , who Happened to be Abigail and extracted from her the names of all the Witch's who helped Them with kidnapping her , and of those who allied themselves with Genevieve and supported her plan as well as know the moonlight spell , Marcel men had fulfilled the next part of the plan flawlessly as the Witch's were busy searching for their missing elder and Harvest girls , they didn't notice the other Witch's that went Missing until it was too late to act .
Now their dungeon house close to thirty five Witch's , who all will be Executed tonight .
She smiled as they entered the Dinning room and returned everyone greetings , beside Marcel was a new face to their usual table , Diego Marcel right hand man was invited to join them tonight by Elijah .
She sat down beside Elijah in the large couch after fixing her Black silk CAMI strap Klaus sat beside her as they all turned to Finn who cleared his voice and started calmly , " now that Hayley and Niklaus has joined us , we can go over the plan one last time " .
He looked around at everyone face before starting with Elijah . " first will be Marcel , you will ... " .
The French quarter :
Marcel stood under Rousseau's watching with dark frown as his men spread Chao's over the city , his men had taken control over the police department , has taken every communication device on the office and put them away and has started their assigned job of cleaning house and cutting off one of Francisca Guerrera major supporter's .
He pointed at the surveillance camera's around the building , " had Klaus guy taken care of them yet ? " .
Diego looked up from the human he was checking for vervain and answered him clearly impressed , " apparently he did before we even made our way to the block , we have four hours to finish here before someone will notice that the place is off " .
Marcel nodded in satisfaction and moved to one of the shaking officers kneeling on the floor , " well let get this done with , sadly we can kill those Bastards off without bringing undue attention . but let's get the best of it while we can . I don't want to miss the show Kol and Klaus prepared for us ". He said with a malicious smile , as he and his men moved on to fulfill their part of the plan with the promise of a satisfactory revenge awaiting them .
Meanwhile at the French Quarter :
Klaus looked up at Elijah who joined him standing in the Dark watching Francisca's men movements , Klaus was clearly impatient and bloodthirsty he complained to his Brother . " The inertia is killing me . I need to act . I need to spill blood . seeing them strutting around puffing their chests so proudly make me sick with wrath " .
Elijah sighed and Consoled him , " a little bit more and you can kill to your heart content , but we most stick to the plan , no need to give Kol an incentive to act on his whims " . Klaus grimaced and nodded his agreement , silence filled the air as the two brother skirted around the topic they both wanted to approach and speak off but were to uncomfortable too until Klaus took it into his own hands and addressed it bluntly , " I'm concerned about Hayley , and I know that you are too " .
Elijah tensed and his face twisted into a frown at the mention of Hayley and her part of the plan , " shouldn't we be ? " . he asked his brother rhetorically , " she is a newly turned a child in our esteem , and as impressive as her control is it's is too soon to have her go on a killing spree especially to an enemy she held on so much hate and anger against " . Elijah argued with displeasure .
Klaus turned to him and nodded his agreement but he still argued back , " true , but as you said her control is impressive for a moment I contemplated leaving Rebekah with her and Hope all the time . but there seem no need for that . not only is she stable around her but the sirebond is taking effect better than with my Hybrids " . he Informed his brothers .
Elijah turned to listen to him with clear interest as he continued , " most probably because Hope is still a newborn with underdeveloped mind , she has basic instincts and needs for now , pleasing her is Definitely easier than me " . the two brother exchanged soft smile's at the truth about their adorned new family addition .
" Hayley will not rest until francisca is taken care off , she barley eat , didn't sleep until now . and is obsessively looking after Hope and can't seem to want to separate from her for even a moment , as understandable as the trauma she has gone through had affected her and combined with the sirebond may have factored on that , I want her to feel save again and if letting her take her anger out on Francisca will aid on that so be it " . Klaus stated easily .
Elijah closed his eyes and sighed , " you know that we risk her turning into a Ribber if she associated killing with comfort instead of defence " . Elijah said tiredly .
Klaus smiled at him bemusedly and drawled out , " please brother , we both know that Hayley has the least risk of that especially with the sirebond restricting her , she will be focused on Hope and her happiness and safety she won't risk her with indulging on her dark side . you and I don't have the heart to deny her the comfort of killing her murderer's , no matter how much as I want to rip them with my own hands for what they did to her " .
Elijah nodded with a sad smile , " never mind brother , I got used to always protecting and sheltering her that I couldn't control myself even now " .
Klaus smirked at him and patted his shoulder , " I need you to utilize those feeling tonight by keeping a close eyes on her , she will need it " . his smirk fell as he looked at his older brother eyes and whispered softly with a hint of self depreciation , " don't fail her like I did " .
Elijah gave him a sad look but before he could open his mouth and try to argue that he didn't fail Hayley , or try to comfort him . Klaus had moved to follow another group clearly escaping this conversation . he sighed at this new guilt that his brother had took upon himself and seemed to be punishing himself for , at least he is not cutting them off and shutting himself completely , a small mercy as is .
THE BAYOU :
Jackson paced around the cottage worriedly as Eve tried to contact Hayley and failed again , Mary looked away from the fire she was watching and addressed her grandson . " calm down , you put too much faith on Francisca's words . if anything had Happened to Andrea we would have known by now , nothing stay secret in the quarter " .
Jackson racked a hand through his hair and replied agitatedly , " what if something did happen to her and the Mikaelson's kept it a secret ? " .
Mary rolled her eyes and pointed out , " they won't have to , not from us . we are her pack they want us to submit to her and use us to protect her and their child , if they wanted too they could force us to fight for them " .
Jackson pierced his lips clearly displeased but understood this truth , " if anything happened to her we will be the first one's to be informed , they won't waste this opportunity to pull us into their side " . she continued explaining , " either way , you should go out there talk with the other alpha's and build connections we all felt the child had came , they are agitated to meet the two " . she ordered him softly .
Jackson sighed and nodded tiredly , " I just want to know that she and her kid are fine " .
Mary patted his cheek softly and suggested , " I know dear , Tomorrow we can take the elders and visit the compound we can check on her ourselves " .
Jackson brightened and left the cottage feeling lighter and a little bit better , Mary looked over to Eve and orders her calmly , " go to the quarter and ask around discreetly , learn whatever you can about what Happened last night " .
Eve nodded nervously and left to Cary Mary's orders .
The Mikaelson's compound :
Hope Nursery :
Davina smiled as she entered baby Hope nursery , she had Been looking around for Kol for sometime now . she had thought to search for him here randomly and is somehow surprised and yet not to see him in here watching His niece with clear puzzlement .
She smiled at Amanda who smiled back and put away the white and pink dress she was Knitting , before excusing herself . " I will go prepare young miss Mikaelson Bottle she will wake up soon in search of sustenance " . she smiled at Kol and asked him softly , " could you please stay with her until my return ? " .
Kol didn't seem to even hear her as he was too focused on Hope , Amanda turned to her and raised an amused brow in question , Davina smiled at her assured her . " we will be here when you return " .
Amanda nodded with satisfaction before leaving for the kitchen , she moved closure to the crib and looked in . the sight of the small child inside brought a soft smile to her face , the baby was pink with slight wrinkled skin common to newly born . but her family gene's came true making her a cute baby .
Kol finger was tracing her soft cheek carefully as he examined his niece more closely , " Rebekah and Marcel are right she took after Hayley " . he whispered with a smile .
" something that seem to make you all Happy " . she stated , the family has made it clear that Hope taken after her mother look's was a joyous thing even if she couldn't understand why do ? , shouldn't they want her too look a little bit like their brother ? .
" one Klaus is more than enough for us , that and Nik himself want her too look like her mother for obvious reasons , but in a way it make her different from us ... Klaus and Rebekah both took after our mother . just as I , Elijah , Finn and Henrik took after our father in away , both of which are not the best example of humans to resemble " . Kol explained to her with sad but twisted smile .
Davina smiled sadly at him knowing how much they hate and how hurt and emotionally scared they all were by their parents . she chosed to change the topic and take Kol attention to something else , and leaned in to kiss Hope forehead , " will we have a cute baby anyway , even thought I would have liked if she had your nose " . she said with a pout .
Kol looked up at her with amused curiosity as he asked her confusedly , " my nose ? " .
" the five of you have the same nose , and you tend to make funny expressions with it , I like the way you curl it in detest whenever we are around Marcel it never fail to make me laugh , even if he doesn't deserve it " . Davina said in part reproach part fondness .
Kol smiled amusedly at her and his eyes lit with laughter , " Darling you never fail to amuse me as well , but your fondness for my nose aside " . kol teased her accepting her playfully swat with ease , " how are our preparations " .
" I can transfer the power from the shackles to the bracelet soon I just need to ho over the steps a few more time " . she answered him calmly , before her face fell as she asked him something that has been troubling her for a time , " Kol , do you think that I'm evil ? " . she asked him worriedly .
Kol head snapped to her and Hus eyes narrowed as he answered her calmly , " you are vicious as any one who had gone through will be but Evil , you are still far away from that " . he kissed Hope tiny hand and warped the blanket around her securely before moving to her side and hugging her to his chest and asked her softly , " why do you even contemplate this love ? " .
Davina smiled up at him and answered him , " it's nothing just some nightmares I have been having lately " .
Kol frowned and asked her calmly , " tell me about them , when did you start having them ? , what have you been dreaming about ? " .
Davina answered him with a frown as she hugged Herself for comfort seeking to rid herself of the dark oppressive feeling the nightmare brought her , " I only had it twice now , I was back on the ancestral plain I this time I was alone in the Darkness but I wasn't myself like I'm stripped to hundred piece's , I keep hearing laughs and cries and accusation they call me Evil , they curse my existence and promise to punish me " .
Kol kissed her forehead and assured her , " it's just a nightmare don't pay it any attention , but come to me anytime you need love " .
Davina nodded and moved to observe Hope again missing the dark apprehensive look that crossed Kol face .
GUERRERA MANSION :
Francesca was holding a meeting in her office at her home with the eleven other werewolves with moonlight rings . she was pacing around agitatedly , " Marcel is still alive and half his Arny is still intake thanks to Klaus healing them " . she Growled out .
" Genevieve has been missing and so are her two prodigies , Witch's are going missing all over the quarter , the nine coven's are on alert and the new witch elder of the French quarter coven is a girl who is just Resurrected . the Mikaelson's are tightening the knot around my Neck and I'm being cut from my human Allies " . she ranted angrily as she swept everything on her desk to the ground .
Her men exchanged wary and nervous looks as they watched her silently . " they are planning something , I feel it in my bones .I'm threatened from all sides and if Andrea or her child survive the crescent would never Ally with me over their revered Labonair's " . she sneered .
" I need a plan " , she hissed to herself and returned to pace anxiously around the office and eventually lost her temper again when she couldn't come up with a plan , " Get everyone out of my face ! They're here , hovering , all the time ! " . she screamed at her older brother .
" They're just doing their Job sister " . he tried to calm her down .
Francesca whirled on hem with fire on her ryes as she hissed hysterically , " Their job is to protect me from Klaus Mikaelson ! Who , by the way , has been watching us and isn't making any efforts to hide that he is , All this waiting ... I'm losing my mind ! " .
Francesca saw one of her pack member staring at her with contempt and her eyes narrow she tried to suppress her fear and anger and act rationally , " I want father Kieran artifacts , they are the only leverages I will have beside this rings , send our men to search for them " . she ordered her brother who nodded and left to Cary her order , " I want you to increase the security around the mansion no one should be able to enter or leave without my permission " . she ordered one of her men and turned to the other , " find out what Happened to Andrea , try contacting my men and that witch Cassie we may need them " . she instructed and watched as everyone left to take care of her plans and sat on her chair heavily her heart hammering in her chest with worry she felt a danger was upon her .
MIKAELSON COMPOUND :
Elijah entered the nursery and smiled at the sight if Hayley walking around the nursery while rocking Hope in her arm's , she looked up when she sensed him and her soft smile turned to a welcoming one as she addressed him , " hey , here to see Hope too ? " . she asked him teasingly .
He chuckled amusedly as he asked her , " how did you guess that ? " .
Hayley gave him a pointed look as she answered him , " you are the only one who didn't hold her yet or payed her a personal visit aside from Finn and Bonnie , even Kol stopped by " .
Elijah Looked away guiltily , he had wanted to visit Hope after Hayley and Klaus had had enough alone time with her , he didn't want to cut in or take from this important and formative time with their daughter , Hayley smiled understandingly at him and carefully held Hope out for him , " well as her uncle you are welcome here anytime , come on " . she urged him .
" sweety , meet your uncle Elijah , Elijah meet your Niece Hope " . Hayley whispered softly .
He carefully took Hope from her making sure to keep his arms steady , even thought Hope weight was nothing to his inhuman strength he didn't wish to cause her the slightest discomfort , " Hello there sweetheart " . he whispered to the awake Baby and his smile widened when Hope opened her eyes and stated up at him with blurry blue eyes .
Hayley's smile widened and it lightened the shadows under her eyes , Klaus was right when he said that she was avoiding falling sleep , " Hayley you should rest before tonight " . he advised her worriedly .
Her smile dimmed and her eyes darkened and it twisted his inside to see her like that , " I won't be able to sleep even if I lay down " . she said with a sigh .
He sighed and leaned to place a soft kiss to Hope's Head , " I Wish you would try for yours and Hope's sake " . he persuaded her again .
She only shoke her head at him and moved to take Hope back , " I will after tonight , you know you and Klaus don't need to worry over me . I'm fine I have you and everyone else even Bonnie keep giving me guilting look's and Hover over me " . she sighed tiredly , " I may be a Baby Hybrid to you but I would like to remind you all that I'm an adult " .
" we only worry because we love you " . he defended their actions .
Hayley gave him a playful glare and reproached him seriously , " and I love you all too , so you two and especially Klaus don't need to feel guilty about what Happened to me . it couldn't be helped I would have died one way or another they wouldn't gave stopped until I was killed" .
He winced as he asked her , " were we that obvious ? " .
" very , especially Klaus . if he continue like this I may have to talk to him " . Hayley answered him without hesitation .
He sighed and confided on her , " you may need to do that anyway , Niklaus he is tormented but what Happened . he saw you die and he can't forgive himself for seemingly letting you down " .
Hayley's eyes tightened and her face went cold , " I see , let me just look for Bonnie she promised to babysit Hope while we are away " . she said casually , and he knew that she plan to corner his brother and talk some sense into him and he sighed in Relive as he replied , " I will wait for you in the foyer " . before living the nursery with another kiss to Hope soft cheek .
Rousseau's :
Marcel and Klaus were drinking and playing Go while they waited for their men to finished the last preparation , across from them was Finn and Kol who was watching the game with interest .
" The wolves have the numbers . Back in 1925 , the Guerrera pack was maybe a hundred . We went guerrilla warfare on their asses and wiped them out over a four day fight " . Marcel informed the three .
Marcel placed a stone on the Go board and waited for the distracted Klaus to take his turn , " But , we're not just talking about Guerrera's now . They've had wolves coming in from packs all over " . he continued .
" How many are we talking about ? " . Kol asked him curiously .
" at least seven - eight hundred " . Marcel answered with clear upset .
Finn looked up from the board with dark contemplative look , " and they are all loyal to the Guerrera's ? " . he asked him with interest clearly thinking up plans and contemplating possibilities .
" they are loyal to her promise of power and home as well as Money " . Marcel replied .
" things that we ourselves can give to them " . Kol pointed out , " even more surly than an upstart like Guerrera " .
Marcel nodded in agreement before shrugging off his shoulders and stating his opinion on this course of action and it's feasibility , " well , wolves loyalty and all that " .
Only then did Klaus interjected in the conversation and said nonchalantly , " we don't have to kill them all , kill who we have to kill spare whoever you want . I want those moonlight rings back at all costs " .
Both Finn and Kol seemed appeased by his words while Marcel frown deepened , " I thought you only wants those rings for Hayley now that she is a Hybrid they are of no use to her !? " . he inquired curiously .
" Hayley may have no use of them but they are still Hers , I promised her moonlight rings for her pack and I plan to deliver on that " . Klaus answered firmly .
Kol and Finn exchanged amused and knowing smile's and even Marcel had a teasing gleam to his eyes as he nodded in understanding , " I see , and what of your own pack !? " . he asked him .
" they will get their own as well once I have them firmly under my control " . Klaus answered him easily .
" ruling with gentle tyranny as usual " . Marcel hummed with a smirk , Klaus sent him a playful glare as he educated him , " on my vast experience it's the most effective way of Ruling " .
Marcel sighed and shoke his head in defeat and Klaus smiled as he placed a stone on the board , " you get the Witch's as I promised you once before , and we handle the wolves . and do me a favor while you are at it , if you spot any of Hayley's pack wolves tell them that they don't have to sniff after us anymore and that Hayley will visit them in a few days and stop bothering her " . he said with a displeased twist to His mouth .
Marcel brows Jumped , " I didn't notice anyone of them in the Quarter !? " . he pointed out questionly .
Finn sighed and sent Klaus a reprimanding look as he took Hayley's phone from His pocket and waved it meaningfully , Kol Brusted out laughing and Marcel Groaned into his hands . " you are unbearable , she will kick your ass once she find out and I won't even feel sorry for you " .
" I know that she will , but it will be worth it to not have her fend them off . she has too much to deal with as it's and I don't want their will meaning but annoying presence anywhere near her yet " . Klaus explained nonchalantly .
Finn glared at him and stated calmly , " that is not your decision to make , they deserve to know that she is will and save " .
Klaus stood up and left the Room just as he exited he spoke Darkly , " and they will from Marcel , I don't trust them near Hope and Hayley is not ready to have them near her yet " .
Marcel looked to Finn and stated to him worriedly , " something is wrong with him " .
" he is not over Hayley's death yet , even with her back to live he is wrecked with guilt and Pain " . Finn explained to Marcel who scoffed and stated , " we all feel sorry for what Happened to her , it's not an excuse for his overprotective behavior " .
Kol tutted and elaported for him , " that because we didn't experience the helplessness he did as he watched her get her throat slit before his eyes , nor did we have to watch the Witch's abscond with our child to sacrifice them in some alter add in Nik normal paranoia and trauma's and we have an unstable and on edge of leach out Hybrid " .
Finn nodded before bringing an impostart point to their notice , " we all know that Klaus love Hayley , he had that to face that fact in the worst of ways . he is trying to come to term with that fact by being more protective and controlling than usual " .
Marcel's brows were raised in amusement and fascination as he drawled out , " Good for him , and even more better form him and us is that Hayley will set him straight ".
The two Mikaeslons Brothers shared a smile that Marcel linked to sharks baring their teeth , and he wonder if its healthy or moral for Brothers to take this much joy in their brother being dressed down by a woman he love . and he knew deep down that Elijah and Rebekah would be more thrilled than this two , Mikaelsons and their messed up family dynamic God save Little Hope .
MIKAELSON COMPOUND :
Klaus has returned to the compound to discuss their plan with Elijah , he stared with wide eyed disbelieve and confusion as his brother stood up patted him in the shoulder and left the Room before he can even open his mouth .
He watched his departing with a confused frown that turned to dread and understanding when the door to the parlor was locked and Hayley made her way to him with a determined expression and pushed him into the chair behind him .
He looked up at Hayley with a frown trying to figure out what would she want to speak alone with him about without Elijah's presence which he noted left out of his hearing distance , " we need to talk " . she stated firmly .
" I can figure that out by myself Thank you , what is wrong love ? " . he asked her worriedly . " are you experiencing uncontrollable hunger again ? , another shift of emotions ? ... Or perhaps you are reconsidering participating in tonight Battle " .
" No , No and No to all your questions " . she replied seriously , " we need to talk but not about me but about you so fize up " . Hayley ordered him .
He frowned and replied apprehensively , " I assure you Hayley I'm not hiding anything important from you " . he tried to think about why she would ask him to come clear and contemplating if any of his siblings had said something to her maybe about her pack and him keeping them away .
Hayley sighed and took his face in her hands gently and he had to fight valiantly not to melt into her touch and tampered down on the urge to seek more of it , " Klaus you know that what Happened to me was not your fault " . she told him sincerely .
He stiffened but sighed in defeat he already knew that he can't hide his guilt from her and his siblings , he chosed to confront this head on and pulled her to his lab hugging her to him and rocked her body with his just as he did with her lifeless corpse at the church , " but it was Hayley , I should have killed those Witch's long ago I suspected that they were up to something devastating but I kept delaying and it costed you your live , maybe I should have went with my instincts and took you out of here the moment you were freed from Your link with Sophie Deveraux , I should have fought Mikael harder , reached you sooner , not let the Witch's overpower me so easily , I should have done many things all of which I didn't and you had to pay the ultimate prize " . he whispered to her and ended it with a kiss to her now healed throat .
Hayley hugged his face to her chest letting him hear her heartbeat and feel the rise and fall of her chest as she spoke softly , " you did what you thought was best for us , you are trying to build a home for us Klaus and I supported every decision you made , and you know what is most important thing to me ? " . she asked him gently with a happy and awed smile , he couldn't tear his eyes from hers or from the enchanting tender look in them , he looked at her curiously waiting for her answer still not allowing himself to take on the in her words , " the most important thing for me is you fought for us until the last moment , I forgive you your so called failure and will forgive everyone to come if you continue to do that " . she told him with conviction .
A smile broke his face and the dark storm brewing in his chest and the dark miasma of rage and self hate that was nearly tearing his Psyche was dispersed with her words he took her hand and kissed the back of it reverently as he took in the atonement and the request hidden in her words and promised to her with equal conviction , " I will always fight for the two of you , always and forever " .
Hayley smiled as she confided to him , " and you don't have to feel bad about my turning , to be Honest I was contemplating it for some time . I planned to ask you or discuss Letting Hope blood turn me with you " .
He looked at her curiously and with clear shock as he asked her with disbelieve , " you were !? " .
Hayley shrugged nonchalantly and explained to him her thought on the matter , " I was , I knew that if I want to stay with all of you and get to watch Hope live her life I would have to turn at one point . that and its more safer and advantageous for me to be a Hybrid than a wolf , it let me protect Hope more easily " .
He bite down on his cheek and fought down not to show how happy he was at her words , the fear of losing her to death and age had gnawed At him for a time now , and to know that she already wanted and was thinking of turning relived him from his remaining guilt and he couldn't help or hide his smile at her next words , " still I won't forgive or let the Witch's and Francisca live for forcing me into this and ruining my daughter birth for me , and you know what is more annoying I just released that if everything went to plan I would have had only two weeks between Hope and my birthday we could have celebrated the two Together instead of waiting a month to do ... Klaus why are you laughing ? , this is really upsetting ? " . Hayley pouted and mocked glared at him .
He hugged her more tightly and buried her head in chest and neck as he kissed her head and mumbled into her hair , " I know , I just realised that I would have missed your occasional bout's of ridiculousness if you have died " .
Hayley sniffed haughtily and replied with a smile , " I know that my sense of humor would rub on you , guess you can't live without that now " .
" Hm , guess not , so please preserve not to die again anytime in the future " . he retorted playfully .
" that is the plan " . Hayley chirped with mass hint of seriousness , she cleared her thought and buried herself into his embrace and said dreadfully , " know that you are calm and happy , guess it's a good time to tell you that your mother is back to live again " .
He startled to his feet dropping Hayley to the ground as he looked down at her with wide eyed shock and demanded , " what was that !? , what did you just say !? " .
The Mikaelson's compound :
Twenty minutes after the unexpected twist to Hayley and Klaus conversation , Elijah had joined his brother and Hayley in the Parlor and noted with amused fascination and curiosity the shift in the two , Klaus was sporting an annoyed murderous and feed up expression , while Hayley was fidgeting Guiltily under his glare . " We have the Guerrera's where we want them . We have them waiting , we have them worried , and now , we know they're an army with no defenses against Original's " . Klaus said darkly noting relating on his glare to Hayley who shifted to pouting and sending his brother apologetic and pleading looks , how interesting ! .
" Hm , how fortunate " . he replied drawled out casually , before he shifted his eyes between the two and asked the two with forces calmness and with pointed looks , " is there something I should know Klaus , Hayley !? " .
Klaus turned to him with Honeyed smile that made the gleam in his eyes more sinister , " nothing much brother , just that we may have to account for mother for our plans from now on " . he replied cheerfully .
His eyes widened and he looked to Klaus like he just lost his mind before realisation fell on his startled mind and he turned to give Hayley a disappointed look , " Hayley !? " . he questioned with a sigh .
Hayley whined and gave the two a pleading looks , " I'm sorry OK , it slipped my mind at one point from being brought back to live and planning our revenge " . shed defended herself .
He closed his eyes sighed , and pinched the bridge of his nose , " wonderful another enemy on our pile of enemies to plan their demise whole they do the same for us " . he said feeling the throbbing of impending headache .
Klaus who seemed to recover by now shrugged and consoled him, " One enemy at a time ! In the end , we'll slay them all " . Hayley nodded her agreement to his words . " still The others need to know " . he informed the two and took his phone sending a massage to their siblings and Marcel that they need to Gather for an important matter right after tonight Battle .
Just then Rebekah strutted in with a smile , " I'm ready changed into an outfit I won't mind blooding , I kissed Hope goodnight and took my fair of pictures . I'm all up and ready for a wolf massacre " , she announced grandly .
" right in time too , we need to leave " . He said tapping his watch , feeling amused by his sister antics that the headache receded a little .
Hayley jumped up Happily , " the best words I heard all day " . she fixed her black Jacket over her black silk blouse and Black skinny jeans as well as high heeled boots before leading the way with the three of them following her with wary looks .
MIKAELSON COMPOUND / GUERRERA MANSION :
Back to earlier that morning when Finn was explaining their plan with Elijah picked from his brother and explained , " We're taking the twelve original rings that Genevieve created . Now four of them sit on the hands of the Guerrera brother s. One was given to oliver we can obtain easily , one on Francesca , three with the home security detail , and the rest scattered amongst her lackeys . Now , each ring is distinguishable by its setting .. gauche , like those that wear them " .
Bonnie asked him curiously , " would you destroy them after you get them back !? " .
Finn smiled and gave her a meaningful look , " now dearest , why waste such useful artifacts when they are not tailed for one user only !? " . he asked her playfully and her mouth opened with realisation as she and Davina turned to the silently frowning Hayley with worry .
Finn moved on to the next part of the plan , " while Marcel and his men will deal the Witch's a crippling blow as well as give them an example of our retaliation when crossed , Kol , Klaus , Rebekah and I would deal with Francesca's pack " .
Diego looked between the Mikaelson's with begrudging respect and a healthy dose of fear as he brought a point to their attention , " the Witch's will freak after what we do tonight , they may even join Together and revolt " .
Kol scoffed and assuaged his fears , " the nine coven had never once united Together in their centuries long existence . either way we should drive the point more Home " . he told his siblings who nodded in agreement .
" all that is nice and Good how would I get my Hand on Francesca who by the way is holed up in her mansion where I can get to her without an invitation from her " . Hayley asked them seriously .
Klaus smiled down at her tenderly and patted her hand Reassuringly , as he promised her confidently , " patience little Wolf , Her head will be delivered to you on a silver platter " .
He turned to Finn who turned to Elijah and finished with a smirk that the noble original returned , " which lead us to the main point Elijah will figure out a solution to this last piece of the puzzle " .
GUERRERA MANSION :
Francesca was pacing around anxiously while for her men to return from their errands , the first to return where the men who were sent to search for the Dark artifacts .
" well !? " . she demanded eagerly , with predatory eyes .
The men exchanged fearful glances as they Answered her , " we managed to narrow down the location to two places a apartment's building he is renting and a warehouse , the first is bare , the second is too full of boxes to search it in the time limit you gave us " .
Her face darkened and she growled every word out at them , " Go back and search the warehouse . and in case you didn't find anything there return to the apartments building " .
The wolves nodded and scurried away with clear relief . " useless moron " . she cursed under her breath while rubbing her forehead . " that's why I must do everything myself " .
Just then her brother barged in with distressed expression , " Bad news Fran , there is something going on in the quarter " . he told her anxiously .
Francisca turned to him and rolled her eyes and replied snappishly , " point to you , tell me something I don't know like the specific " .
" Marcel men are preparing large crosses in the center of the lyss , the are the exact number of every missing Witch's " .
" our men in the police and the city government had all been compelled and are keeping the humans away under the gauze of gangs fight they are surrounding the entire area and keeping everything under strick control " . He retailed with a fearful gulp , Francesca paled and fell into the chair behind her and whispered with hazy eyes , " public execution , that How they plan to bring the Witch's to heel " .
She looked up at her brother and orders him , " order every wolf back , we need to tightened our security on the mansion " .
Her eyes lit up on thought as she looked up at her brother and rectified her order , " no , order some of our men the one with the daylight ring's to bring me Hayley alive and her child if they can " .
Her brother gave her a puzzled look as he asked her curiously , " How !? , the compound would be under lockdown " .
" it would be , but without Klaus and Elijah there , it would be easy to subdue whoever is guarding the two " . she explained to her brother with renewed fire .
" we don't even know of the two are live or not " . her brother argued back .
She scoffed in self deprecation , " please if any of the two were dead we would be sharing a graveyard with them yesterday , no Genevieve had failed me more than I thought , that what happen when you put too much faith on Witch's " .
She looked into her brother eyes , " tell the men that whoever bring me any of the two would be rewarded more than they can imagine , those two are our only chance at survival and leverage over the Mikaelson's with the artefacts out of our reach , Hayley would be breaking her bone in their dungeon by now " . she told her brother who nodded and moved to relay her orders .
The Mikaelson's compound :
The twenty men sent by Francesca , enters the compound warily the moment they stepped past the doors and into the courtyard the doors were locked from the inside trapping them inside , they turned to each other with fear and confusion when they noted that the doors had shut themselves with invisible force .
They looked up when they noticed a figure emerging from the second floor and looking down on them with a smile ,they relaxed when they noted that the figure belonged to a teenage girl with dark brown hair and baby blue eyes . Davina smirk widened and she purred playfully , " look what I caught !? " .
Bonnie who emerged from Hope nursery Balcony sighed and shoke her head as she asked hee , " do you need me to get down and Help !? , I can put that crossbow Alaric gave me to use " .
Davina beamed up at her while raising her hand and giving the wolves an aneurysm that sent them to their Knees , just as Lucille and James emerged from the first floor foyer with loaded weapons followed by Manda who closed the door behind them with a nonchalant look to the wolves .
" please Kol would never let me leave it down if a bunch of wolves got the better of me , I want to slow down our lessons pace not increase it " . Davina replied with a sigh .
Bonnie shrugged and moved to close the doors to the nursery Balcony , " as you wish , have fun " . she replied easily not feeling an ounce of pity for the wolves knowing that they came here to harm a baby .
Davina chirped back happily , " will do " . she moved down to join the two vampires , " shall we start " . she asked the two as she started breaking bones .
The two took it as their signal to start firing Wolfsbane's at the falling wolfs killing them instantly .
The French quarter / GUERRERA MANSION :
Marcel smirked as his men finished tying the Witch's to the crosses arranged in the middle of the Lafayette cemetery , they didn't resist them drugged and beaten up as they were some of then were even unconscious . he noticed the steady trickling of Witch's from the French quarter coven and others , as they looked between his men the armed officers with their weapon out and vacant look in their eyes .
Some looked like they are reading themselves to interfere but backed down when they received the glares of his men , good men they are .
Once he noticed that the number of gathered Witch's was more than enough he smirked and jumped into one of the high catacombs and addressed them with malice , " Witch's of new Orleans , today we are witnessing a trail , those Witch's here are all convicted for breaking the treaty , and conspiring and aiding on the attack on our faction and the Mikaelson's " .
" we questioned them and found them all guilty " . He turned to Diego and orders him , " call out the convicts names " .
Diego smirked and screamed out evey name loud and clear , " Monique Deveraux , Abigail ... " . he went one speaking all of the thirty eight Witch's names insigting varying reactions from the audience with each name .
Marcel smiled and continued once Diego finished , " we orders those thirty wight Witch's guilty and we bestow on them the agreed upon punishment on the signed treaty ... Death " . he turned to Diego and nodded , thirty eight vampire including Diego and Marcel took out the hidden torches and lit them up with lighters before lying them at the foot of the cross where a stack of dried wood was dozed with gasoline , the Witch's screamed and gasped in shock when fire spread fast from it engulfing the Witch's faster than was normally possible , screams of pain , terror and despair filled the air as the Witch's were burned yo death .
Marcel turned from the therapeutic sight to watch the other Witch's reaction , some of them had run away in terror . some were busy throwing up , others were watching with wide eyes shock , few had turned from appalling and terrifying sight and were glaring at them with hatred but were to afraid to move . " this is the fate of anyone who break the treaty or cross the Mikaelson's , this was just an example a small pinch into the ear to warn you that they always pay their due in full . and no matter how cruel you can be they will be hundred time worse , watch , learn and keep your head down , we are not above ending one coven entirely to keep the others in line " . he finished seriously .
He left Diego and the others to make sure that no one move to remove the bodies before they were completely burned , and went to speak with Eve who was watching the spectacle from behind a tomb well out of sight .
" hey , you are one of Hayley's pack " . he greeted her and she flinched her face turning paler as she looked at him with clear fear . " easy there , I won't hurt you . I have a massage from Klaus to your alpha , can you take it to him ? " . he asked her after calming her a little .
Eve didn't speak or stop eyeing him suspiciously but she nodded that she will them , " tell them that Hayley had suffered some complications during her labor and can't see anyone for a time " . he relayed calmly .
If possible Eve paled even further and her face twisted in Horror and pain , " no ... She .. She isn't is she ? " . she asked him fearfully .
He hurried to assure her , " no , hey . no , she is alive and well in away ... Just ah a little bit challenged and changed after what the Witch's done to her she need time to adjust and return to herself " . damn he sound like Elijah now .
Eve let out a tremulous sigh and nodded , " I will give him your massage now " . she hesitated before asking him , " can we speak to her , just make sure she is really OK " .
" how about you call her tomorrow I will make sure that she speak with you " . he promised her , Eve hesitated again before asking him , " how is her Daughter ? " .
He couldn't keep the smile off his face even if he tried , " she is healthy and beautiful " .
With his words a smile broke into the untriggered wolf face and she left immediately , he contemplated if he should stay here or go and try and take a shoot at the wolf . before deciding that he may as well return to the compound and see Hope , know that there is no Mikaelson in the compound to occupy the nursery .
The Guerrera Mansion ground's :
Klaus and his siblings were hidden in the woods as they watched the Wolfs patrolling and milling about , He smirked and rolled his neck as he stepped out casually followed by his siblings . a few step out they were noticed by the wolves as they hurried to return to their assigned formation , they didn't seem as worried as they should be and he new that they Bank on their transformation hiving them an edge especially as the moon was rising behind them .
He didn't waste time speeding and tearing the nearest wolf heart out , just as the wolves fell to the ground and started shifting , out if the corner of his eyes he saw Finn vamp speeds toward two wolves and snap both of their necks easily and efficiently . Rebekah with a cold gleam to her eyes teared into the nearest wolf tearing his heart out before attacking the one after him , Kol had went for tearing veins with his fangs . his eyes gleamed as two Guerrera's attacked him in the wolves form's , He ducked under one wolf who lunged at him and tightened his arm's around him and with effortlessly squeeze to his middle and broke his spin .
He let the other wolf fell to the ground before his eyes turned amber and he shifted into his Wolf form choosing to fight them one wolf to an army , his siblings turned to him surprised before Returning to their own battle .
In the meanwhile At THE inside of GUERRERA MANSION :
Francesca who was sitting at her desk , was finishing business over the phone , while two of her brothers sat across from her watching her in boredom . looked up at them and rolled her eyes before returning to her work . Suddenly , one of the werewolves was thrown past the window behind her , and the three jumped to their feet and moved to see what was happening . Just as francisca moved closer to the window a large amount of blood spluttered against it , indicating that someone had begun taking out her security detail .
Her eyes widened in terror as she run to the first floor followed by her siblings , Outside the house , Elijah was sitting on the side of a fountain while he extracted the moonlight ring from the wolf dead at Hus feet finger and placed it carefully into his pocket square .
Francesca's security detail rushed outside of the house , where they found a cheerful Elijah waiting for them with the gates closed cutting them from the rest of their pack , it was clear that all their wolves outside the House were dead , " Good evening ! " . Elijah greeted them with a polite smile .
In the woods Klaus , Kol , Finn , and Rebekah were making fast and gruesome work of the Wolves , the ground was filled with corpses and everytime one wolf try to escape . they would be hunt down and killed by Kol who seemed to take upon the Rule of keeping them contained and preventing them from Running .
GUERRERA MANSION :
Francesca and her brothers walked toward the front door just as another large splatter of blood landed on the frosted glass windows . she look with alarm as the door opened by itself , just before a severed head was thrown through the doorway making her flinch and back away , the head rolled into the foyer and landed at her feet . with more fear and Alarm Francesca and her brothers slowly approached the door , where Elijah was waiting for them on their front porch . He wiped his bloody hands on a pocket square , and Francesca tried to play it cool and hide her fear as she spoke with a fake smile
To her brothers , " Hmm . It's fine ! He can't come in " .
Elijah tilted his head with clear amusement as he asked her , " Can't I ? " .
Francesca laughed nervously but with a hint of her returning confidence and spoke , " Don't bluff me ! You can't win , this house is under my name I'm the only one who can let you in , which I won't be doing " .
Elijah's smile widened as he lamented nonchalantly and with clear cunningness , " You mobsters all suffer from such hubris " .
Francesca raised her eyebrows at him skeptically , but Elijah continued on in nonchalant but clearly calculated tone , " Did you know Al Capone thought himself invincible back in his day ? And , in the end , he was sentenced to the wretched filth of Alcatraz , for which of his atrocities ? Anyone ? " .
He waited for them to answer , but they remained silent as he twisted his mouth and frowned in mock disappointment , "
A failure to pay his taxes ! I suppose the devil's in the details , isn't it ? " . he mocked them .
Elijah looked around the inside of her mansion from the front porch , " My , my , you have a beautiful home , here " . Francesca exchanged a nervous look with her brothers as he carried on , " I was so pleased when the city took my suggestion to protect its heritage status and invoke imminent domain aided with persuasive power of compulsion to hurry up the process " .
Francesca's smirk fade into a look of horror as Elijah continued with a tampered malicious tone , " I suppose that means this house now belongs to the public . And , as such , anyone can enter without invitation " .
" but it's not me Who desire to enter your Home " . he stated calmly as he took a step aside , " Go on love , they are all yours " . he finished sweetly .
Francesca watched with fear as Hayley emerged from behind Elijah her face and Clothes smeared with blood , her eyes were amber but what filled her eyes with terror was the fact that Hayley was not in her wolf form as should have been without the aid of the moonlight rings she stole , understanding came to her when Hayley's face shifted exposing her vampire visage , " you , you are a Hybrid " . she whispered in fear .
Hayley stepped confidently and purposefully over the threshold . Her face void of any expression and her eyes were fixed on Francesca , she and her brothers hurried to stand defensively preparing to fight .
The Guerrera Mansion :
Francesca used the chance that Hayley was busy fighting her brothers and that Elijah was clearly staying out of this fight to run , She anxiously turned around to see if Elijah was following her as she tried to make her way to her car , but when she turned back , she saw Hayley right in front of her , she jumped back startled and scared , Hayley didn't waste time warping her hands tightly around her throat And squeezing with cold glare .
MIKAELSON COMPOUND :
Klaus had just returned to the Abattoir he hurried to wash and change his clothes before tracking Hayley back to the nursery where she too had showered and changed into a simple light pink dress and was humming as she rocked Hope crib , he noted the peculiar look to her eyes and asked her softly as not to wake their sleeping daughter . " regretting killing her little wolf !? " .
Hayley looked up at him and he moved closer and sat on the arm of her chair and took in her expression as she thought over her answer before shaking her head , " I don't , I made it quick and painless for her . I still not feel save yet " . she answered him with a sigh .
" as long as mother and Dahlia are alive , either of us will feel save or can rest " . he agreed with her understanding her concern .
" I just want to focus on my daughter , I don't want to miss a moment with her . as for your mother she will come for us in her own " . Hayley told him with a loving smile to Hope .
" that sound like a plan for me " . he told her happily before extracting a piece of paper that was carefully put in his pocket and handed it to her after straightening it , " a bitch certificate for our Baby , I got it done this morning " .
" Hope Andrea Mikaelson " . she read out with a smile , " you gave her my name " . she stated with a wobbly smile .
He kissed her head affectionately as he explained , " off course I did , you brought her into the world . and names have power I want her to grow up to be every bit as strong and fighter as her mother with all your mercy and grace " .
She sobbed as she buried her head into his chest , " i want her to have your heart , be as sensitive and loving as you are to our family . say whatever you want but you Klaus Mikaelson love too much and too fiercely . I want her to inherit that too " . she spoke wistfully but with utter sincerity .
He fought the tears that threatened to fill his eyes as he told her , " if you wish for that love , we would adore her all the same " . he vowed .
Down on the first floor :
The Mikaelson's were gathered together with glasses of champagne accompanied by the honorary members of the family , Hayley , Marcel , Davina and Bonnie , Bonnie took a deep gulp of her flute before complaining , " I thought mystic fall was a crazy place but this city clearly take the cake " .
" welcome to new Orleans love , the city were death is as normal as breathing and every supernatural is as insane as they came " . Kol replied with a laugh as he lounged in the couch with an arm around Davina , who he was lavishing with praises for her take on the wolves .
" back to Business , we are taking a moment to celebrate Hope joining our family and the save return of Hayley to us . as well as the complete inhalation of one of our enemies and the Hopeful subjection of the other " . Rebekah announced grandly as she raised her glass happily , " cheer " .
Everyone followed clicking their glasses Together as they cried happily , " cheers " . they all drained their drinks in one go before Klaus sighed and spoke , " that a side a new or more accurately along persisting enemy us back to hunt , as much as I would have preferred to leave this for Tomorrow . we can't delay this " .
" okay , now I'm worried " . Bonnie whispered to Finn who nodded with a frown .
" ugh , can't your long line of enemies wait just a day for us to get our breath back " . Marcel groaned out exhaustedly .
" wishfully thinking , but no this is important we need to take every percussion we can " . Elijah replied warily .
Kol straightened up and looked between his hybrid brother and noble one apprehensively as he asked them , " who exactly are we talking about ? " .
The two exchanged looks with Hayley before Elijah announced with displeasure , " mother is back to Hunt us " .
The glass in Rebekah's hand fell to the ground and shattered , Bonnie spilled the remaining of her drink on her jeans . Marcel jaw fell in shoke and Davina's eyes lit with fear and reverence . Finn choked in his breath and Kol head fell on the back of the couch as he Groaned , " of course she is , leave it to mother to ruin our live again and again " .
AN :
No Esther in this chapter she will be in the next one promise , ugh sorry for the delay I chose to post this chapter before I end up rewriting it again . or deleting it as I did to my TVD fic .
You see my inspiration was playing with me , I keep getting idea's and crossing ones or end up skipping and writing future scenes just because I can't wait to reach them .
Anyway , ugh I have knew ideas that I need your Thoughts and opinion on :
1 - would you like to read a redemption / time traveling Elena fic where she got to fix and learn from her past mistakes and use that grown up she had to do to help her friends WO frustratingly didn't get the happy ending they deserve reach it , the pairing is undecided but no Salvatore's or klaroline , I love the two too much away from each other I hate the way she played with his Feeling no matter the reason's , maybe cause I was there and had someone manipulate my emotion's like that too .
2- would you like a male Hope Mikaelson fic , I have two . one where an icy is reincarnated as Male Hope and have to take on this live . or another where Hope is born a boy and the tvd Mikaelsons and others have to watch legacies from his point of view to change the future .
Sorry for my TVD fans the part is being rewriting , and as I'm busy vacationing it will be delayed , please don't hate me I deleted last moment cause I was focusing on the plot and lost sense of Serena's personality .
