Chapter 3 : For The Love I Lost
Caroline fluffed her bedsheets after a long day . She was just glad tomorrow was Friday. She drowned herself in her bed and turned off the lamp
"Hey care? Can I ask you something" Bonnie said softly cuddling in her bed
"Sure" Caroline said
"What do you think of Stefan?" Bonnie asked
Caroline jumped out her bed right away and switched on the lights , her hands were on her hips and she tapped her right foot ,with a very disturbing look on her face
"Jeez turn the lights off some of us have cemetery visiting to do tomorrow" Sophie said putting her pillow on her face
"Wait! ..bonnie what the hell? Stefan really? He's your bestfriend's ex boyfriend ...number 1 rule in friendship never date your bestfriend's ex boyfriend that's downright slutty" Caroline yelled
"Shhh gosh...all I asked what you thought about stefan! And FYI...you dated Matt Donovan who was Elena's ex boyfriend and plus Elena is my ex-bestfriend remember" Bonnie got up and defended
Caroline sighed
"You're right! I freaked out ...I'm sorry...Stefan is a nice guy ...and if you have feelings for him go for it just don't hurt him ,he's my bestguy friend in the world" she said sitting on the bed
Bonnie twitched her mouth ,and then released her breath
"We've known stefan since high school ...yes Elena broke his heart ...but I won't do such a thing ...and even if these feelings I have ...I'm pretty sure its nothing but a phase" Bonnie explained hugging her
"Great!touching movie! Can we turn the lights off now thank you hobos"Sophie said sarcastically
"You missy never told us about dreamy Marcel...what's up with that? Bestfriends never keep secrets" Caroline said folding her arms
"Jeez I'm sorry I didn't tell you about my exboyfriend who murdered my sister and mother and my niece...broke my heart ,cheated on me , and then left town " Sophie yelled flipping angrily on her bed
Bonnie and Caroline stood shocked for a moment they exchanged looks of sadness
"Um Soph , sorry I .. 't know I'm sorry" Caroline said softly
"How could you of known what a beast he was" she muffled looking out the window at the full moon
"Hey let's turn of the lights and get some sleep...okay Soph...we'll talk about this tomorrow if you want" Bonnie said
Caroline turned off the lights and they both got to bed , and there was pure silence.
PARA2: The next morning Bonnie and Sophie were the first out the door ,they were extremely early ,they met the rest of the Mythology class for the trip to Marie Laveau's cemetery . Miss Iris wanted them to be on time . Sophie and Bonnie barely meet up with the rest , they looked at each other as they catch their breath
"Sophie...wait a second!" Elijah said from behind her
The brunette hair brushed her face as she turned around and saw the Original staring at her
"I made it" He said smiling
"Guess your really into the study of Voodoo ...don't know where the irony is that ,vampire "she whispered , slapping his shoulder and laughing
He smiled softly "I'm a sucker for Marie Laveau had one chance to meet the creepy woman ..." He added with laughter
She laughed as they stopped and everyone observed the graveside .
"Miss Devereaux and Mr Mikaelson...this isn't a movie stop laughing" Iris said
Sophie and Elijah contained themselves , Bonnie turned look at them and smirked ,she continued making notes about the Voodoo queen
"I could tell Iris doesn't fancy me that well"he whispered
"Jeez I wonder if its cause your a vampire" Sophie whispered with soft laughter
Iris was busy explaining about how Marie died and her family , and her soul being still roaming the town ,Bonnie seemed really into the Voodoology .
"So what's the difference between Voodoo and Witchcraft" Elijah asked while they both followed the class to the river bank where Marie's ashes were tossed
"Well for starters in my opinion voodoos mostly deal with dark magic and hurting people while witch craft can be good and bad like helping a girl find love or breaking a hex"she explained , as the original looked at her an nod
They continued to follow the class to the riverside where Marie's so called soul resides in the river
"So I've meaning to ask you!...as you know tomorrow is Rebekah's birthday...and we're doing alittle surprise ..she doesn't know ...so I was wondering if you and Bonnie would come to our family Beach House in Bayou" He asked
"For Bex ? Sure ...its her birthday of course..we'll be there" Sophie said smiling
"Great "he said smiling widely
Bonnie came back over to them with a notepad full of points
"Well that river is creepy" Bonnie said dusting her hands on her jeans
Sophie and Elijah exchanged looks
"What's up...why so giggly today" Bonnie asked
"Remember tomorrow its Bex's birthday...Elijah invited us to the beach house for the celebration" Sophie said
"Yeah yeah great"Bonnie said looking back at the river in a strange
"Hello! Over here...what's wrong" Sophie said waving her hands infront of her to get her attention
"Sorry...totally up for it...guess we'll all drive up" Bonnie said
"See rebekah doesn't know you're coming...she thinks we're having a family birthday dinner for her" Elijah said
"Oh sneaky Originals ...I like it" Bonnie giggled . The two witches both smiled at each other
PARA3: Hayley was more occupied with Art than anything else on her plate ,she always found her happy place in the colors or maybe it was the Art Teacher , Eric May that attracted her more either way ,she was reorganizing the whole Art room in her free period , she even painted a piece of a bridge in the Bayou . She fixed her piece on one side of the classroom
"That piece should be on the wall...its quite astonishing" Klaus voice startled her ,standing by the door with a villainish grin
Hayley gave a shy smile and continued fixing paint brushes
"Not much of a talker are you?" He asked walking slowly behind her
"What are you ? My stalker?...thought you were Caroline's stalker" she said nervously moving away towards the shelves
"I'm sorry..."He said plainly
She nodded . Klaus remained silent as he observed the strange mark on her back ,he frowned
"I actually...came here to invite you..to Rebekah's birthday dinner tomorrow at our family beach house , its a surprise actually, Caroline planned it" he explained
She bite in her bottom lip ,she wasn't really a fan of socializing, especially at a place that far as in the Bayou
"Its rebekah's birthday! Your bestfriend she would love it you were there" he said jumping out of her thoughts
"Uh um ok"she said dryly covering her back with her jacket
She walked passed him
"Hayley...you probably hate me because of Tyler...but there's something on your mind...something dark...its okay to say it" he said softly
"I don't need a therapist ...leave me alone"she said bitterly running out the door
PARA4 : After a long day at their different classes the girls decided to spend the evening in Rebekah's dorm ,painting each other nails , gossiping about college boys and watching Horror flicks
Hayley sat by the window staring at the full moon replaying Klaus' words in her head about something dark
"Hey wolfy are you going to be anti-social over there all night" Rebekah yelled
"When isn't she anti-social?" Caroline muttered while painting her toes
Hayley turned her head and rolled her eyes at Caroline
"Someone is obsessed with that Voodoo Queen" Sophie said noticing Bonnie flipping through History books and googling on her laptop
"Sorry I've become a geek for her...she's intriguing " Bonnie said biting her pencil
"Its Friday Bon ...live alittle " Caroline said
Hayley saw something outside the window ,she wasn't sure what it was ,she got up from the window
"Hey guys um I'll be back ...I gotta get some fresh air" Hayley said leaving the door
The girls in the room shrugged their shoulders at each other and continued doing their activities
Hayley walked down the hallway quickly ,some kids were partying outside ,she looked around the lawns and didn't see it anymore . She suddenly heard a soft purring of her name ,she followed the voice into the depths of the woods it suddenly stopped ,she began feeling confused ,she looked around frantically ,panicking and hysterically breathing
She ran into someone's arms and she screamed loudly and began to cry and fuss
"Please Tyler don't hurt me, I got rid of it..I swear" she yelled crying
"Hayley?"Klaus voice said . She paused her fussing and noticed the Original hybrid face in the moonlight
She let her breath out, "oh god" she managed to say , she buried her head in his chest and sobbed softly
PARA5 : "my birthday is tomorrow and I got this stupid family dinner at the beach house , I don't even like being in the same room with those boys" Rebekah complained
"Family first Mikaelson...you have to learn to appreciate your brothers goodsides and bad ones" Sophie said sitting on Hayley's bed
Rebekah rolled her eyes "you know what my brothers need? Women in there stupid ,messed up lives" she snarled
Bonnie laughed "klaus ? A woman ! That's a joke to bring up next chemistry"
"Well he has taken a sudden interest in Hayley" Caroline said smiling
"And Elijah has taken an interest in Sophie" Rebekah said sitting next to her
Sophie blushed ."No he hasn't, he's being friendly" she said
Bonnie slapped her shoulder
"Hey speaking about Hayley ? Where did she go?" Caroline asked
"She did say fresh air, and its a full moon,she's probably getting her wolf on" Rebekah said laughing and looking out the window
PARA6 : Hayley walked slowly into Klaus' house which was two corners away from campus ,she held herself and sobbed still ,her hazel eyes still had tears and her nose was red . Her hair was ruffled perfectly
"Its okay hayley..you can come in the living room...no other hybrids around" Klaus said pouring them both a drink
She walked in the living room slowly and looked around at the paintings and she sat on the couch fixed in one position
He hands her the drink
"Sorry I don't drink anymore"she said softly
He nodded and place the glass on the table . He sat next to her
"What was that about out there Hayley? You sound like you're terrified of Tyler..which is hilarious" he said smirking
She looked at him bite her lips
"Sorry...why are you terrified?"He asked
"No reason...I thought I heard something so I followed it" she said softly
"I don't care what you heard tonight...what did Tyler do to you"he asked in a raging voice
"Look I don't want to talk about it ...and I don't want you to hurt Tyler okay" she yelled moving away towards the window ,she fold her arms , he took a deep breath. He knew he had rage within him
"Look hayley my apologizes for the yelling, I'm just trying to figure you out..because I fancy you" he said lifting the weight off his chest
Hayley smiled alittle
"Tyler wasn't just some guy I knew...he wasn't just my bestfriend's boyfriend...he was someone I helped and we became close friend"she explained turning around and walking ,she sat next to him
"And what happened"he asked
"Caroline called me ,she wanted me to help him ..control the fact he was breaking his bones every full moon ,he wanted to know my secret on how I controlled it ...so I helped him and I stuck around Mystic Falls for awhile..it was fun I became crazy friends with Elena , Bonnie and Caroline , they were my first female friends , I grew up with a wolf clan of dudes so shopping and nail painting never came along"she explained with soft laughter
"What happened after you two became such friends"he said gritting his teeth in jealousy
"He had his birthday party , Tyler was one of those rich kids that had everything and every girl wanted him , never got why Care like him , he was basically a jerk before the whole Hybrid transition...that night I got drunk which was strange cause I only remember having one red cup of Vodka" Hayley explained rubbing her head
"Did you think Tyler did something to your drink?" He asked
"I never knew but...tyler was the one who raped me ,he had his hands all over my body that night and he hurt me and touched me and oh my god."She yelled crying hysterically "shh! Its okay"Klaus said hugging her ,while the brunette shade tears over and over again
"Wait ! Hayley? Then why did you leave Mystic Falls in such a rush?"He asked wiping her tears
She stared at him "its was 4weeks later, I hadn't eaten ,sleep, I hated my life, I was basically allergic to the outdoors , I fear people...that morning for Chemistry class I puked so much ,it felt like my gut was about to come through my mouth...I was crying on the bathroom floor...I was pregnant and didn't know what to do...that's how I met Rebekah...it was her first day at that school she came in the bathroom ,we had a talk...and I promised her if we ever met again ,we be the best of friends...and now we are" she wiped her tears
He hugged her "I'm sorry, what brought you here in the French Quarter?"
"I came because I wanted to know my parents ,and get rid of the child...and that's how I met Sophie ,she helped me get rid of it..its funny cause days like this I wish I didn't , I wished I kept the baby ...Sophie dated Marcel at that time...he was the so called king at the time ,he never liked the idea of soph entertaining a wolf" she explained
"he stole that from me"he muttered
"What?" Hayley asked puzzled
"I'm sorry you had such an experience, now i wish I really killed Tyler "klaus said
"You can never tell Caroline ,she won't believe me , she loves him and still does" Hayley said
He nodded
Hayley looked at her phone and noticed a text message from Bonnie
"Um I should go...thanks for listening" Hayley said getting up
"I am going to see you tomorrow?"He asked holding her wrist back
"You did invite me to the beach house...so I'm guessing yes"she said loosing his grip and smiling
She walked to the door and froze ,she turned around
"Do you really...
"Fancy you? Yes I do ..."He said smiling
She smiled at him,opened the door and left.
She dragged herself back to the dorm ,she closed the door lightly ,stripped down and placed her pj's on. She couldn't stop thinking about klaus and how heartwarming welcome
She got into bed and flip the sheet on her
"If you were going to switch to hybrids atleast tell me" sophie muttered sleeply
Hayley smiled and closed her eyes
PARA7 : The next day, the girls gather around on a Saturday morning and began jumping up and down Rebekah's bed , they began yelling and singing "Happy Birthday" . The blonde fell off the bed ,while her friends laughed and helped her up
"You girls are too much aww..thank you "Rebekah said group hugging them
They made a collage of pictures of them and rebekah
"We didn't know what to get a spoiled rich girl ...so we decided to be alittle creative and make a friendship collage of all our memories" Caroline said handing the blonde a huge square canvas of pictures and colorful decorations
"I did some of the Art" Hayley said smiling
"Omg..girls I love it...this is going on my wall "she said smiling at it
Rebekah's phone vibrated , she saw her cousin Amelia messaged her
"Oh gosh girls I wish you can come up to the beach house...my cousin just messaged me ,she's here to pick me up" Rebekah said doing the puppy dog face
"Aww well its your family dinner go have a happy birthday" Sophie said rubbing her shoulder

"Amelia?"She said puzzled
"Oh no...she's my cousin from Scotland...she just came to stay with us for a while ,she's an expert at the culinary arts" he said smiling
"Liar you hate my cooking" a voice said behind
Sophie turned around and smiled at the tall blonde ,baby blue eyes girl who was pale
