Impulse

Hayley mumbled in irritation as she felt herself awaken, a sharp pain dinging into her side and causing her to wince slightly. Her feet then hit some wall and she jolted a little realising she was laying face flat on the stone ground, her soft hair splayed annoyingly around her face. She struggled around a little, her heated cheek rolling onto the cool surface. As she moved the pain at her hip sank in deeper.

Shouldn't that heal or something? she thought confused to herself and noted to ask Klaus later on.

If there is a later on. She then huffed, eyes still closed. She'd set off to save someone and here she was captured herself. Great. She muttered to herself sardonically while clutching her forehead with her hand drunkenly. She still felt a little delusional and she couldn't help but feel a little pathetic either. Her heart then sunk a little thinking about Elijah. She knew something was very wrong, it was gut instinct. Her face saddened. She knew if the roles were reversed, he would have found her by now. He always did.

A pain then intensified inside her.

She was beginning to learn Hybrids were not exactly invincible. Sometimes just her feelings got so bad that she felt that alone was enough to disarm her. She grew sombre for a second as memories of Hope sang their way through her heart...but no. She wasn't having any of that in this moment and so she gritted her teeth, blinking and attempted to sit up dragging herself against the wall, feeling it with her hands so now she could lean back on it for support.

"Idiots." Hayley then hissed, her lips pursed, she licked them lightly, at least that cut had healed.

"At least remember to tie up your prisoners." she then sarcastically mocked in her head stroking around her wrist but then the soreness in her side shot back again and she was forced to acknowledge karma. "Well karma's coming right back for you too bitch." She snarled internally but then winced again.

This physical pain is just a joke now. She then grumbled inside and cursed Esther and her stupid witch disciples several times, who she realised had probably hexed her or something. She then thought about where Marcel was now and the new baby vampire, what was her name again? Gia. Maybe they had been more successful with Elijah? Who knows what his freakish mother has been doing to him? she considered angrily and painfully. Regardless of not exactly being on friendly terms with either Marcel or the newborn, she realised, she really wished they had.

However Hayley still couldn't stop herself from thinking about how she had walked in on Elijah's "training session" with the baby vamp. She narrowed her eyes recalling his tense hands on her, their astonishingly close position and that look... Hayley shook her head trying to brush off the image in her mind. She was hot, she'd give her that but Hayley had discovered her blood had simmered with jealousy regardless of whether she had wanted it to or not. He's never touched me like that... her thoughts trailed but then Hayley scolded herself firmly.

She had come to a decision. She'll save his ass first and then deal with that malarkey later. Her feelings about him were a more threatening challenge on her to do list but right now she was prioritising just getting him back.

Thinking of? Where have they taken me? she speculated and then her eyes widened. What if someone else is in here? she thought and crept into her hide out deeper.

Screw this darkness. She then hissed to herself peering into the thick blackness. She couldn't see a thing.

Suddenly however she heard a low rattle of what seemed like chains. Her eyes widened and her instincts grew alert, the previous bafflement she had been experiencing slowly being washed away. If she couldn't see she could hear right? She remembered Klaus's instructions about the whole hybrid senses things and then tried to replicate what she had done before. Just as she cupped her ears however she was met by the sound of an even louder rattle followed by several groans and hisses and murmurs and realised hybrid hearing was not necessary.

Elijah? she whispered to herself softly.
