summary: When Hayley disappears Klaus is faced with the possibility of raising Emily alone
While it was rare Klaus Mikaelson had been stood up for a date a time or two; compulsion prevented that. With Hayley Klaus hadn't felt the need. Now as he sat at the trendy new French restaurant in New Orleans Klaus checked the clock on the wall for a third time. The werewolf was now thirty minutes late. Something she wouldn't do without a call or a text. Klaus tried to starve off the nagging pit of fear that started to form in his stomach with a glass of whiskey. In the two years since his daughter had been born the tension between the vampires and witches in New Orleans had calmed down. Marcel knew his place in Klaus's kingdom and was no longer a threat. So Hayley being a half hour late shouldn't cause Klaus to worry; but it did.
Pulling out his cell phone Klaus hit a speed dial for Hayley's number. He placed the device to his left ear and listened. Four rings before the voice mail picked up. Klaus left a message and placed another call to Elijah. The other Original stated that Hayley had left the house forty minutes before; plenty of time to reach the restaurant. After ending the call to his brother Klaus called Rebekah sending his sister out looking for the werewolf. Another call to Elijah had him staying at the house guarding Emily. Klaus knew there was a slim chance he was over reacting. Hayley may just have needed some 'me time' but he doubted it. She'd been looking forward to their date. With a snarl Klaus left the restaurant.
Four hours later the trio of siblings regrouped in the mansion's study. The only sign of Hayley had been her car abandoned on t he main road between the mansion and the French Quarter. Her purse had been on the passenger seat so it hadn't been a robbery. There had been fresh blood on the steering wheel and the gravel near the driver's door. Both causing the knot of fear in Klaus's stomach to twist. Someone had attacked his family and they would answer for that.
"Marcel swears he had nothing to do with it."Rebekah reported as she leaned against the open patio doors that led to the backyard.
"He's not that stupid."Klaus responded angrily. "He may want revenge against me but Marcel wouldn't go after Hayley."
"What makes you so sure, Niklaus?"Elijah inquired softly. "You embarrassed him in front of his people. Not something one forgets."
Klaus shook his head. "I know Marcel, this is something different. Somebody wanted my attention."
"Stefan?"Rebekah suggested.
"No."Klaus replied with a bitter laugh. "Salvatore wouldn't have the nerve."
"I'll look into the witches."Elijah stated as he turned to leave.
"No offense, brother but you don't have the best track record with them."Klaus commented as he pushed away from his desk and stalked to a nearby wood cabinet. "I think this was against Hayley and not us."
"The wolves."Rebekah surmised.
"I offered them greatness."Klaus began as he pulled an old revolver out of the cabinet. "But I also made enemies. "
"You think they weren't happy with Hayley siding with us."Elijah offered grimly.
Klaus nodded as he slammed the chamber of the special revolver closed and spun it. "That and they may see Emily as a betrayal. She has more vampire blood than werewolf no continuing of the race there."
Turning Klaus pulled another weapon out of the cabinet and tossed it to his sister. "Rebekah, you're with me. We're bringing Hayley home."
"Be careful,"Elijah warned. "The wolves have changed. They're not ones to allow a threat to their existence to continue."
"If Hayley's dead."Klaus began his eyes changing. "I will have my revenge and the wolves won't have to worry about their survival any longer."
Klaus and Rebekah left and Klaus forced himself to concentrate on the rescue. It had to be a rescue. Emily needed her mother. Klaus had grown accustomed to his new family and his feelings for Hayley had intensified over the past few months. She was his and no one would take her from him; no one.
Hayley Marshall awoke with a killer headache. She groaned and closed her eyes. The werewolf felt cold ground beneath her and at first she thought the wolf had taken over. Then Hayley realized the full moon wasn't for a few more weeks. Slowly memories returned; leaving for her date with Klaus, her windshield shattering suddenly forcing her to stop...being grabbed from behind and dragged from the car.
Footsteps approaching caused Hayley to open her eyes and sit up. Her wolf senses went on high alert. They told her who her captor was. Confusion mixed with hurt flooded through Hayley as she stared up at the three young male werewolves.
"Why?"Hayley asked.
"You really are stupid if you have to ask."A red haired youth replied as he knelt next to Hayley. "You mated with our enemy."
Hayley felt her eyes narrow."Klaus is not our enemy."
"He nearly wiped us out trying to make hybrids."The youth replied angrily. "That makes him an enemy in my book. You betrayed us; that makes you worse than him."
Hayley watched the werewolves cautiously and remained silent. They had clearly made up their minds and reasoning was not an option. She just had to wait for an opportunity to escape or Klaus and the others to come to her rescue. Hayley had the feeling the latter would come first.
