Hey, guys! I'm back with another chapter, part 2. I was thinking that I could split this chapter into like maybe 4 or 5 parts. I am not sure yet since I am currently working on part 3. Please let me know if that is cool with you or that is too much to read. I don't know. I would love to hear back from you. :D It is about 1:58 in the morning here and I probably won't be able to post part 3 until sometimes today...maybe tonight?
Omnificent POV
Rebekah scrubs at the blood stains in the carpet while Klaus continues to read "A Poison Tree."
She looks up and notices his book, therefore making her comment; "Poetry about poisoned apples from dead trees. Looks like someone's worried about impending daddyhood."
Klaus shook his head, "Nonsense. Elijah's back. In his presence, all problems turn to pixie-dust and float away."
Rebekah side-eyes at him and grins, then Klaus smiles back. Elijah hears them talking about him and joins them in the living room.
"Strange, I don't recall any pixie-dust from the darkness of the coffin I was recently forced to endure," Elijah says, opening their mother's grimoire and flips through it.
"What are you doing with Mother's spell book?" Rebekah asks, staring at Elijah.
"Well, in exchange for my freedom, I promised the witch Davina that I would share a few pages from Mother's grimoire to help her learn to control her magic. I thought we'd begin with a little un-linking spell," Elijah smiles, tucking in the pages that he had borrowed from the book.
Rebekah and Klaus look at each other in confusion.
Rebekah was stunned to hear this, "Wait, you want to use her to un-link Hayley from Sophie Deveraux?"
"Sophie brought us here under false pretenses. She doesn't just want us to take down Marcel and his minions; she wants to take Davina back. So, she yoked her own cause to ours with magic, threats, and half-truths. Well, no more. As of now, our deal with Sophie Deveraux is null and void."
Klaus and Rebekah smile wryly at each other. Rebekah stood up as Elijah continues on, "Niklaus, I need you to come with me. I need five minutes alone with Davina. You need to make certain that I am not interrupted," He points to Rebekah and thinks for a moment before giving his order, "you stay here and watch Hayley."
Elijah turns and leaves the house. Rebekah becomes very annoyed. "How did I get elected super-nanny?"
Klaus stood up, "More importantly, who puts him in charge?" He reluctantly follows Elijah out of the house.
Rebekah lets out a huff and threw the yellow gloves that she had taken off from scrubbing across the room.
Kayla and Hayley came in the living room, giggling about something when they saw pissed-off Rebekah.
"Whoa, what's going on?" Hayley was the first to make a comment.
Rebekah lets out a huff again. "Elijah just put me in charge of watching you, Hayley. Looks like there will be no shopping today, ladies."
Kayla lets out a groan, "Are you serious? Hayley is going insane in the house and I might as well as take her out and treat her to shopping. Come on, Rebekah…you can come with us…."
"Unfortunately not, Elijah has also ordered me to stay here so that means that you must also stay here, Hayley…sorry, I know that you have been looking forward to this today."
Hayley nods with the disappointed look on her face. "It's okay really…well, Kayla, you could always stay here and we can have girls' day in?"
Kayla crosses her arms and thinks for a moment. "That's fine…yeah, I can totally stay. We'll make it a good time, right, Rebekah?"
Rebekah smiles gently at the ladies.
Kayla's POV
Hayley decided to change from her pajamas to her clothes despite the fact that she had nowhere to go and was stuck in the house so I agreed to stay here for the girls' day in…. I don't know how to make it work since they have no television in the house, therefore, no movies to watch.
I was waiting in the living room, reading a book that was left behind by Klaus and Rebekah was outside, emptying the dirty water that she had used to scrub the living room's carpet. All the sudden, I heard a yelp of pain and I immediately drop the book, running upstairs to Hayley's room. Rebekah heard it too and had beaten me to it when we arrived in her room.
Hayley had her hand to her neck and when she pulls her hand away, she notices blood on her fingers from a small puncture wound that is already starting to heal.
Rebekah was unnerved and so was I. "What the hell was that?"
Hayley responds back, still examining the blood on her fingers. "Hell if I know. It felt like that I was being stabbed."
Rebekah examines her neck and looks at me. "What do you think?"
I walk to her and examine her neck, realizing that the wound had healed immediately, leaving some blood behind.
"Honestly, I don't know what it was but this makes me nervous since I know that she is still linked to Sophie. Come on, Hayley, let's clean the blood off you," I say, grabbing her hand and lead her to her bathroom.
I grabbed the washcloth and ran it under the faucet. I then started to wipe the blood away.
Hayley was very quiet. "You okay?" I say, examining her neck to make sure that I got all the blood.
"I'm scared….what if something bad happened to Sophie?" Hayley whispers to me. I pause and looked into her eyes. I grab her hand and squeeze it. "You are fine. I promise you….if something happened to Sophie, we will do our best to save you and the baby. I will do everything and I got you. I hope that by tonight, you'll be unlinked and you will never have to worry about being attacked or the baby being hurt ever again. Okay?"
Hayley nods and I smile back at her then turn back to the sink, washing the cloth once again.
"Have you… have you had any visions since then?"
I look at Hayley in the mirror as I fold the wet washcloth and lay it on the counter, leaning on it as I think for a moment.
I shake my head, "No...Not since the night that you were attacked by so-called witches. It's nice actually….the last time I had a vision, I ended up getting a seizure. It's quite painful," I admitted, staring at Hayley.
"Is it always that bad?"
"Not always, but recently, it's been getting worse. Sometimes I'll have dreams about my past but they are always vague or confusing. There are pros and cons for being a witch but other than that, it's not always that bad."
Hayley nods, staring at me. "Okay. Well, thanks for cleaning me up. I'm going to sit down now."
I nod and she turns, leaving me alone.
I stare at myself in the mirror and closed my eyes. I let out a shudder as the vision of my mom's body flashed though my mind.
I quickly open my eyes, seeing where I was and let out a relieved sigh. I knew that I have PTSD and I thought I had it controlled until I saw the poor girl's body in the living room today.
I felt the sweat breaking out on my forehead and was having a tough time to breathe. 'This is a panic attack,' I told myself, leaning against the sink and stare at myself again in the mirror. I decided there that I needed to do a quick spell for myself.
Nervous anxiety, you are dead. Lord and lady, soothe my head.
Bring me to your calming peace as I will so mote it be.
The minute I cast the spell, I felt a soft breeze and the panic attack went away as if it had never happened. I let out a soft sigh and wipe away the remaining sweat on my forehead.
I then readjusted myself before I went out to face Hayley and Rebekah again and pretended that I was perfectly fine. That is something that I would regret soon.
Omnificent POV
Kayla decided to go home real quick to get some of the spa stuff since Hayley wanted to have a spa day. Rebekah brought up a basket of apples to Hayley's room. "Time for the demon spawn to snack!"
She announces to Hayley, who is sitting in an armchair.
Hayley lets out a laugh, "I really wish you wouldn't call her that."
"Oh, I'm sorry. Have you picked another name yet?" Rebekah holds out a basket of apples towards to her. "Take one; the plantation is lousy with them. How's your neck?"
Hayley chooses an apple and holds it for a moment. "I feel fine…which is weird. I'm sure it's Sophie-related."
Rebekah puts down the apples and stood next to her bed. "Then, do me a favor, and don't die on my watch. I'll never hear the end of it."
"You know, when I first met you, I thought you were a real bitch."
Rebekah smiles, "What changed your mind?"
"Oh, I still think you're a bitch! I've just grown to like that about you."
Rebekah lets out a surprised chuckle. "Aw, well, that's sweet of you to say." She then becomes serious. "Remember it when I'm gone."
Hayley becomes confused, "Gone? Where are you going?"
"I only came to town to make sure that everything was okay with Elijah. He's fine, and he hasn't punished Klaus for daggering him, so…as usual, they'll be thick as thieves, and I'll be left to clean up the mess. It's time for me to fly the coop."
Hayley felt awkward for asking. "Oh…"
She goes to bite the apple in her hand, but she suddenly starts to feel woozy before she gets the chance to eat it.
Rebekah frowns at her. "What's wrong?"
Hayley shakes her head, "I dunno, probably morning sickness…"
Rebekah places her hand on Hayley's forehead. "Oh, you're burning up, actually."
Kayla's POV
After grabbing my spa stuff, I return to their mansion and walked upstairs to Hayley's room. Rebekah was leaving the room quickly, almost knocking me over. "Whoa, what's the rush?" I said, picking up the things that had spilled from my bag.
"Hayley is not feeling well and she has a bad fever…." She continued to talk but I didn't hear her because I was experiencing the flashbacks from my almost death and there was a loud buzzing in my ears.
She stopped talking when she realized that I wasn't listening. "Hey!"
She shook me and that made me snap out of my flashbacks. "W-w-what?" I say, clearing my throat and trying to look at her eyes.
She frowns, noticing that something was up with me. "Hey, Hayley got a bad fever and I don't know what to do. I got to call my brothers and let them know what's going on. What's wrong with you now?"
I shook my head, smiling. "Nothing. I'm fine. I was surprised to hear that Hayley wasn't feeling good because she was fine an hour ago. I'll go check in on her. Excuse me," I said, rushing past her into her room.
Hayley was on her bed, resting her eyes. I immediately put my bag down and walked over to her, placing my hand on her forehead. I let out a soft gasp, feeling the hottest skin that I have ever touched.
Hayley opens her eyes and frowns at me. "What's wrong with me?"
I give her a soft smile, "We'll figure it out. Now, we'll take care of you and do not move from this bed, understand?"
She nods and closed her eyes. I immediately went into the bathroom and grabbed a couple of washcloths and a large bowl of water and then carried them out to her night stand.
I put one wash cloth into the cold water and twist it to let the excess water out then placed it on her forehead.
She lets out a soft sigh, smiling a bit. "That feels good…" she mumbles, frowning at me.
"Shh…rest." I murmur, looking behind me. Rebekah was watching me from the doorway. Rebekah looks so scared and she had the phone in her hand.
I walk over to her and she looks so angry. "It was Agnes."
"What?"
"According to Elijah, they found Sophie and apparently Sophie said that it was Agnes who did this to both of them. Agnes used a cursed object called the Needle of Sorrows on Sophie's neck. This needle can cause a miscarriage by raising Hayley's blood temperature."
I was horrified and so furious…oh, so furious. "That bitch…wait until I deal with her. That is not going to happen; we'll save Hayley and the baby. Where is Agnes? Where is she?"
Rebekah took a big gulp, never seen me so angry before. "They don't know yet, she is hiding somewhere."
I let out a scorned chuckle. "She's a coward, some witch she is. Alright, okay… we have to bring her temperature down, so that will be our plan until Sophie gets here and can tell us what else to do to prevent this from happening."
Rebekah nods, smiling at me. "That's the plan then."
Oh no... Hayley is in trouble again and Kayla gotta deal with that...and now, we got angry Kayla! Anyways, please do let me know if you like the chapter! :D
