"I cannot believe you disposed of those vampires without me. You know how I love to set things on fire!" Hayley heard Rebekah say as she walked downstairs.
She was still overwhelmed from finding Emma, who she found out was actually an original vampire and named Rebekah. She called her parents to say she was relatively safe in New Orleans, but didn't mention Rebekah, Klaus, Elijah or the pregnancy.
"Was I supposed to leave them in the front yard to rot? Besides, they were my responsibility. They attacked the helpless pregnant girl who's carrying my child!"
"Oh, I am so moved by your new-found sense of fatherly duties towards the girl carrying your hybrid bun in her oven."
"Are you two always like this?" Hayley asked as she walked in before shaking her head. "Nevermind. I don't think I want to know. The werewolf would like to know what the plan is."
"Well, that depends what plan you mean, love- my plan for global domination, or Rebekah's plan to find love in a cruel, cruel world?" Klaus turned to face her.
Rebekah grabbed a pencil from the desk beside her and threw it in Klaus' direction. Klaus caught it easily before it could embed itself in his face
Hayley sighed. "The plan to rescue Elijah, who is now in the possession of your mortal enemy after you stabbed him in the back?"
Klaus smirked "In the front, if we're being specific."
"You two said that you would get him back. So is there a plan?" Hayley crossed her arms.
"Okay. Well, firstly, Marcel is not my mortal enemy, he's my friend. Albeit one who is unaware that I'm trying to sabotage his hold over the supernatural community of the French Quarter, but a friend nonetheless." He paused, glancing between the two of them. "And secondly, I daggered Elijah in order to gain Marcel's trust. If I had known he would place my brother in the hands of a particularly nasty teenage witch, I certainly would have weighed my options a bit differently. And thirdly-" He turned to Rebekah, gesturing for her to speak. "-Sister, please."
"And thirdly, the plan is for Niklaus to simply ask Marcel for Elijah back." Rebekah told her.
"That's not the whole plan, is it?"
Rebekah scoffed. "Klaus may be a miserable excuse for a sibling, but there is none more diabolical."
"And that's only Plan A, love!" He told her. "There's always a Plan B."
"And do tell, what is Plan B?"
Klaus smiled. "War."
Hayley sighed as she listened to Klaus, Rebekah and Sophie argue. She had been trying tp snap, but it got too loud so she ended up eavesdropping. Klaus and Rebekah were currently arguing with Sophie, planning to use Thierry and Katie to find Elijah.
Hayley through it was an awful plan, but she listened to Rebekah and let Klaus do his thing.
She jumped as she heard Klaus slam his hands on the table in the room next door. "Sophie Deveraux! You're in no position to be so principled. You can't win a war without a few strategic losses, no matter how regrettable they may be. How many times have the vampires been one step ahead, known something they shouldn't? Your sister, executed in the public square for practicing magic- who knew she'd be caught? Did she even attempt to flee?"
"...She was caught hiding in a cargo hold of a freighter before it set sail down the Mississippi." Sophie answered.
"And who, pray tell- of Marcel's valued inner circle- manages his business at the docks?" Klaus pressed.
Sophie sighed. "Katie's boyfriend, Thierry."
After Sophie left, Rebekah went to Hayley's room and laid on the bed. "So... how'd it go?" Hayley asked, getting a muffled groan in response. "You wanna try that again?"
Rebekah turned so she was on her side, facing Hayley. "This plan is going to get messed up somehow."
"Why do you say that?"
"The last time Nik didn't have our coffins, it took weeks to get them back. Who knows how long Marcel will hide Elijah."
Hayley absently walked around the pool, being careful to not touch the water, watching the wolf that was staring at her.
"You're not supposed to be out here." A voice says from behind her. Hayley sighed, turning around.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. I'm Sabine. We met. I'm one of Sophie's friends." She continued.
"You're one of the witches." She said bluntly. She nodded.
"Sophie just asked me to come keep you company while everyone's out." She looked over at the wolf curiously and gestured toward it. "You know, it's drawn to you. The child you're carrying is part vampire, part werewolf. You and Klaus made something special."
"Well, a one night stand with a vampire shouldn't have gotten me pregnant and here we are." Hayley rolled her eyes.
"You know, I can do something to find out if it's a boy or girl." She offered.
"I thought you couldn't do witchy stuff around here." Hayley said. "Anyway, I can just go to a normal human doctor and find out easily."
"It's not magic, just an old trick my grandmother taught me." She smiled. "Come on. You have to be a little curious."
A few minutes later, Hayley was laying in the kitchen, Sabine holding a crystal hanging on a chain over her stomach.
"I think it's a girl." She smiled down at her before frowning as the crystal started to swing in the other direction. "No... wait."
"Hoc est infantima malom, Nos omnia perditu el eam."
Hayley laid on her bed, staring at the screen in front of her in shock. She had to rework the words in front of her, but the reaction was the same.
The child is evil, it will destroy us all.
She picked at her nails, an awful habit she had picked up over the years. Klaus paused at the doorway of her room, noticing how nervous she looked, before taking a step in.
"I thought you might like to know, Elijah is returning to us." He said quietly.
"That's good, I suppose." Hayley looked up, smiling. "I learned something today, Klaus. I think it's a girl."
After a few moments, he smiled as well.
Things were finally starting to look up for Cleo Sertori, thought she knew it would only get worse.
"Your brother is in a church attic?" Hayley let out a laugh.
Rebekah groaned. "Yes, I'm aware of the irony."
Hayley rested her head on Rebekah's shoulder, pulling the blanket up further.
"Why are you on top of me?" Rebekah asked, not looking away from her laptop screen.
"My wolf is going crazy. You're the only person close to me who is pack. Everyone else is back home." Rebekah said nothing in response, instead, adjusting herself so that Hayley would be more comfortable. She had to deal with this before, of course, after going long periods of time away from Klaus. It was instinct.
"I think I'm going to make her middle name Kimberly." Hayley said quietly. Rebekah nodded, shutting her laptop.
"Have you talked to Kim yet?" Rebekah asked.
Hayley shook her head as much as she could without having to move. "Not about me being pregnant. I've talked to my parents, though, they know, just not who the father is. Or that I found you, I haven't found a way to bring that up yet."
"Technically, you found my brother." Rebekah laughed as Hayley hit her arm.
Hayley was pissed. It had been a peaceful day, really. She woke up in a good mood, ate a good breakfast and spent two hours with Rebekah. Then, Agnes showed up and ruined the whole day.
Nobody liked Agnes, especially Rebekah. Anges decided that Hayley needed a doctor's appointment in the Bayou, which Hayley politely declined, but she kept pushing. So, she called Rebekah in.
Rebekah and Hayley had fallen right back into step like they were still living in Australia and called Cleo and Emma. When her brother wasn't around, they did practically everything together. They toned it down when he was there, though he was out most of the time. While they knew there were still many problems around them, they enjoyed spending time with each other, both wishing they could go back in time.
Hayley laid on the couch, staring at a book she wasn't reading as Rebekah sat a few feet away from them. Hayley let out a low growl as Agnes mentioned the appointment again.
"I feel great, Agnes." Hayley snapped. "You can leave, there's no reason for you to be here anymore."
Hayley pursed her lips as Rebekah let out a quiet laugh, too quiet for human hearing.
"You're overdue for a checkup." Agnes presisied.
"What do you expect me to do? Pop into the Quarter for a quick ultrasound? A pregnant werewolf escorted by a witch? Not happening." Hayley shut the book, rolling her eyes. "Anyway, I'm going to see a human doctor tomorrow, I don't need to see anyone you know."
Agnes was silent for a few moments. The girls shared a look, hoping that it would finally shut her up, but Agnes spoke again. "While that is good, I know a doctor out in the Bayou, off the beaten path." Hayley shot Rebekah a panicked look. "Now, I took the liberty of making an appointment for you. Tonight, after-hours, just us. Vampires will never get word of it."
Agnes wasn't going to stop anytime soon, so Rebekah and Hayley came to an agreement. Hayley would go to the bayou doctor and would text Rebekah if anything suspicious was happening. Rebekah would meet up with her nonetheless, but she had to deal with her brother first.
"Okay, fine. Bayou-baby-doctor it is."
"This is the doctor's office?"
Hayley regretted ever agreeing to go to the Bayou doctor. It was one of the sketchiest places she had ever been to.
Agnes smiled. "Dr. Paige is only this far out because Marcel's men kept terrorizing her patients. Go! She won't bite!"
Hayley got out of the car, purposely slamming the door as she pulled out her phone . She overheard Agnes calling someone, shaking her head. She texted Rebekah as she walked into the clinic.
'At the clinic. Agnes is sending someone after me.'
Later, Dr. Paige stood above her, giving her an ultrasound. The doctor smiled at her. "Your baby's heart rate is perfect."
Hayley smiled. "I knew it."
Dr. Paige chuckled and handed her a tissue to wipe the ultrasound gel off of her abdomen.
"That's a unique birthmark." Dr. Paige remarked.
"We're done here, right?" Hayley put her sweater back on, pulling out her phone as it buzzed. There was one notification on her screen, a simple text that said, 'send me your location. I'm on my way.' She sent it to Rebekah, putting her phone in her away when she was done.
"Your blood pressure is a bit high, I've got something for it." Hayley's spine straightened as she heard a wolf howl. She could see headlights approaching from the window. She needed to get out of there.
"You know, I'm not too good with pills." Hayley said as the doctor walked back in.
"Heh, neither am I, truth be told." Dr. Paige set the medicine cup on the table and starts preparing something.
Haylye glanced over, hearing a low whisper. A group of intimidating-looking men walked into the clinic and whispered something to Agnes.
Her arm shot out in time to catch Dr. Paige's arm as she lunged at her. IShe pushed her sarm awry, stomping down on the doctor's foot. She let out a cry but was silenced as Hayley stabbed the syringe into the doctor's neck, causing her to pass out onto the floor.
The men in the lobby ran toward the door, but I managed Hayley shut and locked it before they could enter. One of the men rattled the doorknob as she opened the window, getting out as fast as she could.
After a few minutes, the men who raided the clinic were looking for her in the woods behind the clinic. They passed her a few times, not seeing that she was hiding behind a tree. She ran up to the first man as he passed her again, kicking him in the stomach before knocking them to the ground. She jumped, kicking the second man down as she snapped his neck. A third man tried to attack her, but she grabbed the knife from his hands and cut his neck with it. When a fourth lunged toward her, she grabbed his shotgun and knocked him to the ground, stomping on his neck.
Hayley's eyes flashed gold as she looked around for the others. A large man tried to attack her, but as she got ready to attack him, his neck was snapped by Rebekah.
"Emma, finally."
"Where did you learn to fight like that?" Was the first thing she asked.
"I learned to survive." Hayley huffed, though she was glad Rebekah finally showed up. "You're late."
"Sorry, family problems, had to deal with that." Rebekah apologized. "Who were they?"
"Witches. Warlocks." They could see more men with flashlights in the distance hearing towards them.
"There're more of them. Run!"
Hayley wanted no time running away. She was worried for her, but she knew Rebekah would survive. She kept running until she was hit in the shoulder with an arrow. She cried out at the sharp pain, her eyes fluttering closed.
Hayley woke up to four wolves around her, each of them were visibly concerned.
"Creepy." Hayley blinked, staggering as she stood up. "I'm going to find my... people. You can do your creepy watching thing from a distance."
She could hear Klaus and Rebekah talking as she made her way towards the clinic. She winced as the wolves howled. It was too loud.
"Hayley! What happened? Tell me what happened." Klaus said as he rushed towards her.
"I don't... I can't remember." She frowned, looking up at him.
She stayed still as Klaus examined her for any wounds. "You've completely healed. There's not a scratch on you."
Hayley leaned into him, thankful when his hold tightened so she wouldn't fall over, not that either Original would let that happen. "Werewolf healing."
"No, werewolves don't heal that fast."
"It's the baby." Rebekah said after a few moments. "The vampire blood- Nik's vampire blood- in your system. It can heal any wound." Klaus turned and stared at her incredulously. "Your own child healed you."
Rebekah shifted her focus back to her friend. "How did you escape? You were outnumbered, unarmed? Those men were ripped to shreds!"
"I think it was the wolves. They're trying to protect me." She said quietly.
"The witches were supposed to protect you! When I get my hands on Sophie Deveraux-" Klaus started angrily.
"It wasn't Sophie. It was Agnes." Hayley cut him off, finally taking a step away from Klaus.
"Fine! Agnes, Sophie, it's all the same to me! I'll slaughter the lot of them!" He said.
"Not if Elijah gets there first." Rebekah told him.
"Did you find him?" Hayley asked her.
"He's been in touch, and he has a plan. All he asks is that we take care of you." She said.
Hayley smiled before looking at Klaus. "Hey, can we go home now? I'd really like to sleep for a few days..."
When Hayley went to walk, her knees buckled and she stumbled, but Klaus flashed over to catch her, and scooped her up to carry her.
"Ooh, I've got you, love. I've got you."
Hayley leaned into him, burying her face in his neck, glancing at Rebekah. After a long night, she finally felt safe.
