A few hours later

I was in the bathroom, getting more water for the washcloths while listening to Rebekah fussing over her.

Rebekah was blotting sweat from Hayley's forehead and chest with a washcloth. "Stop fussing, will you? Elijah will be here any minute."

Hayley lets out a groan, "I feel like I've been microwaved."

"Hey! Just because you're carrying a baby doesn't mean you get to act like one! I'm sure my little niece is healing you up as we speak."

I let out a chuckle as I carried back the bowl of water. "She's right, you know?" I said to Hayley and she rolls her eyes at me.

Suddenly, Elijah runs in with Sophie. Rebekah stands to greet them but is appalled when she sees who Elijah has brought with him. I was not happy about it too.

"What the hell is she doing here?" Rebekah snaps, giving her a dirty look.

Sophie lets out a sigh, "I'm trying to help."

"Help? You're the reason we're in this bloody mess! Why aren't we unlinked with this witch already, Elijah?"

I nod along to Rebekah's statement, giving Sophie my best angry look.

Elijah stares at Rebekah, "Rebekah, let her do what she can."

I almost let out a growl but chose to keep it in, replacing the old washcloth with the new one on Hayley's forehead.

"Look, I may know a way to slow the fever down. But, I'm gonna need some special herbs," Sophie turns and looks at Rebekah, "I'll text you a list."

Elijah nods at her in encouragement, and though Rebekah does not look pleased to be ordered around again, she eventually relents and smiles at them patronizingly.

"Fine. Happy to play the fetch girl."

She stomps out of the room and shoves the washcloth she was using into Elijah's chest as she leaves.

Elijah stares at the washcloth and I roll my eyes at them, going back to my routine. "Kayla…" Sophie tried to talk to me but I interrupted her, "Don't you even dare. I trusted you. Hayley trusted you. You knew that Agnes was trying to hurt her and now me. Don't."

Sophie frowned at me. "What do you mean by that? Agnes would never hurt you."

I let out a laugh and stood up. "Sophie, come on. Seriously, come on. Remember the night that I was attacked by a vampire and was poisoned. I almost died because of her! That was her. She tried to have me killed, Sophie. You can't keep denying this. She has been going after Hayley since then."

Sophie was stunned. "But….why? Why would she do that? She's the one who taught you the spells and the magic. She's the one who told you about your mother. She….. oh my god," she stops, realizing something.

"What? What?!" I snapped at her, almost rushing towards her when Elijah stood in front of me to keep me from going after her. I give him a dirty look and he shook his head to let me know that she wasn't worth it.

He steps away and I stood here, waiting for Sophie.

"I'm so sorry….I…I am so sorry, I didn't realize that Agnes was going to take it seriously."

"Sophie. Explain what the hell are you talking about."

"Sabine had a vision about you and told Agnes that she saw you being a very powerful witch and that you would cause all the witches' death. I didn't believe that of course, but-"

"But Agnes believed that? Like she believed that Hayley's child would bring death to all witches too? Why didn't you tell me that?"

"I—I didn't know that Sabine had told Agnes until today before all of this happened."

I felt betrayed. "You…you after all of the people, I never thought that you would betray me like this or lie to these people? No wonder why my Granny chose not to raise me as a witch. My mother….was probably betrayed by you people."

"Kayla, you don't know that-"

"Shut up! Please leave the room before I do something that I will regret. Elijah, take her out...Now!"

Elijah takes her arm gently and takes her out of the room, leaving me shuddering with anger.

I could feel the powers crackling in my fingertips and let out a sob. I shut my eyes and focus on making my powers to calm down then I heard her soft voice.


"Kayla… it's okay. It'll be okay."

I look over to Hayley and she was looking at me sadly. She had heard the whole exchange.

"Oh…I'm sorry. I didn't mean to wake you up," I sniffle, wiping my tears away and sat down on her bed.

"Well...that sucks. Now the witches are after you too…"

I let out a sad chuckle. "I don't even know if it can get worse. Let's focus on you. Let me check your fever."

I rest my hand on her forehead and realized that her fever was getting worse. "It's getting worse. Let me try something that I have never done before."

Hayley nods. I rest my hand on her forehead and my other head on her stomach. I close my eyes and focus on her body.

Slowly by slowly, I started to feel my hands warming up then gradually my body started to warm up. I realize that I could absorb some of her fever, therefore, protecting her baby.

"Kayla…what are you doing?"

I open my eyes at Elijah, observing me.

"I'm taking her fever into my body so I could protect her and the baby."

"Are you insane? It could kill you!" Elijah says, looking appalled.

"For the first time in my life, I'm not insane. I will be okay…I know what I'm doing, trust me, Elijah." I whisper in sake for Hayley who has fallen asleep again.

Elijah stares at me for a bit then backs off from me. "Fine…but you call me if anything else happens."

I nodded and he leaves the room.

I let out a sigh, feeling her fever started to grow in my body. I could feel my body breaking out in a sweat.

"Please let it work…." I whisper to myself, looking at Hayley's face. She was asleep but was frowning due to the fever.
