Marie may be kin but she was going to be dead kin. Elijah made no move to aid me which was fine by me. I am on her faster than her guards can move. I have her pinned to the floor and my hands tightened around her neck. Her hands fly up to my hands that have her pinned. My knees are locked around her sides so she can't move. I can hear the guns being drawn on me.
"One more move and I tear her throat out!" I yell a warning to the guards. Most of them step back but the few that don't hesitate in taking another step.
"Listen to her!" Marie yells. Everyone moves away. Her neck has blood all over it from where my nails are digging in to her neck.
I get up and lift her up with ease. I slam her against the wall and look at Elijah. He looks wary but doesn't interfere. I stride over to her and grab her by the hair.
"You claim to be family but family doesn't do what you did to me. My daughter is left with Klaus while you play guess what with me." I spit. Venom is laced in my words and she cringes as I talk.
I feel a hand touch my shoulder and I look up at Elijah and he smiles at me. I am instantly calmed.
"Enough Hayley you shouldn't hurt her. We need her to find the rest of your family." Elijah says. I drop her and she crumbles to the floor in a heap of sweat and heavy breathing. Marie is bruised and battered but she stands with her head held high like I do.
"Hayley let me show you I am what I claim to be." She says. She moves her hand to her right shoulder and slips her shirt down a little to reveal a crescent moon birth mark.
I fall back towards Elijah and he catches me. I turn in his arms breathing in his scent.
"We need to get you home." He says. I nod and he picks me up. "We will be in touch." Elijah says.
My eyes feel heavy and I drift off to sleep.
COUPLE HOURS LATER
I wake up in my bedroom at the plantation. I smile but when I sit up no-one is in the room except Klaus. He doesn't have our daughter in his arms he just looks out the window. I know he knows i'm awake but I just look at him.
"Was I that bad of a choice you had to run?" He ask quietly.
"No. I was just ashamed of myself that's all. Klaus I have seen a side of you that not a lot of people have ever seen and it scared me." I say. It was mostly the truth.
"Hayley." He says my name but stops.
He turns to look at me and his eyes look so blue and so honest I have to look away. I feel guilty all over again and my head begins to hurt. Klaus moves towards me and sits on the bed. He places a hand on my face and this gesture makes my pulse race like crazy. I look up at him and he looks at me.
His lips barely touch mine but it makes my blood feel like liquid fire. I let him kiss me and maybe i shouldn't have but I couldn't stop it.
"What the Hell!" Elijah stands in the doorway.
Shit.
