A/N: Hello my lovely readers! ^-^ This is a bit of an odd chapter. I wanted to add more of the story line to create a larger picture. I'm still following most of the original plot but there are many small differences. Roughly this chapter would be between. 1x09 and 1x10.

The line breaks signify scene separation, or two scenes going on at once.

P.S- Please feel free ask me anything if you are confused about anything :)

Chapter 19: Loving Enough To Let Go

Klaus continued to stare vacantly at the mother of his child, his limbs refusing to work. He was still, frozen, only his conscience awake. He felt a sudden jab of pain as he recalled himself flinging the pregnant woman across the floor and swallowed with what seemed like remorse.

However, his heart then hardened as he shrunk away from any form of weak emotion and coldness flashed in his eyes.

He then recalled his brother's words, his desperate profession of love and a vile form of hatred ruptured through him.

"Hayley is mine." He hissed inside. "She is the mother of MY child." the nasty side of his conscience jeered.

She was supposed to be his goal now. His new vision and he grew furious at the thought of another taking this away.

Elijah recognised this heartless look on his brother immediately and pulled Hayley closer to his chest, lifting her completely off the ground. He stood with her in his arms shifting her weight slightly. It was becoming clear that Klaus had no intention of aid but Elijah still found himself lingering in the hope of some repent.

Klaus's eyes lifted following Elijah's movement and the shuffle of Hayley's limp form and although it could not be seen, some hesitation remained within his heart.

As this dilemma danced within Klaus, another entered the room.

Both Klaus and Elijah turned to find Marcel who by discovering unconscious Hayley oscillated at the entrance.

"What is it Marcel?" Klaus spat with annoyance.

Marcel finally came into clearer view.

"It's D, she's, missing." He revealed and Klaus's eyes darkened.

"I have my guys out looking for her." Marcel added hoping this might just improve the situation.

Klaus's form shuddered irritably and he found himself oscillating himself, his teeth clenched like his fists.

Elijah was ready to leave but waited to see Klaus make his decision.

"Call a meeting, I'm right behind you." Klaus spoke monotone to Marcel, however his eyes lay on Elijah and Hayley.

Elijah had heard enough. He disappeared. The only thought in his mind was how to help Hayley.

Elijah appeared in Hayley's room and placed her on her bed lightly, his face somber on seeing her in such a state. She needed a help. His first idea had been Davina, thought that was clearly out of the question now.

He realised he would have to leave her to get this help and the idea of not being by her side pained him. He walked up to her and placed a kiss on her forehead, gently moving back her hair.

He had to help her and so by knowing she was safe in the compound with Klaus busy with his hunt for Davina, he disappeared.

After a while, Hayley stirred. A deep breath escaped her mouth and her fingers twitched. Eventually her eyes opened and she learnt that she was back in her room. She sat up jolted by her memories and her hand gripped her stomach.

Her child like before must have healed her in some way.

She saw the glass of alcohol and the dresser and then traced her lips.

The room brought back every moment and she found herself feeling sickly once again.

She needed to get out of here.

Hayley attempted to step of the bed but a rush of nausea washed over her once again. She sat at the edge waiting for it to subside, swallowed and then with strength stood to her feet.

For a second she wondered where everyone was. What had happened? Was Elijah...she shook her head and instructed herself to focus on her escape.

She carefully stepped out of her room, eyeing the door from the balcony and realised no one was to be seen.

This confused her but not wanting to lose her chance she left as quickly as she could.

Once she was free she realised she had no idea where she was heading and suddenly grew confused. Her mind wasn't working as well and she found herself stumbling. Suddenly she grew afraid knowing that she was not strong enough to protect herself in this moment.

Hayley heard the rustle of leaves and shuddered, her eyes darting to the source of the sound.

A figure appeared in front of her. It was a woman. Hayley recognised her. It was Eve from the bayou.

"Come with me." Eve spoke and Hayley walked towards her.

"You shouldn't be out here like this." Eve scolded though held Hayley helpfully directing her.

Eventually they arrived at the Bayou and Hayley recognised the ransacked wooden hut, remembering when she had nursed Elijah there. The memory of Elijah made her heart clench. Of course she missed him. She wanted him now. She needed him but something inside told her that she would not be able to see him for quite a while.

"Do you know what's going on?" Hayley asked wanting to be reassured that at least he was safe.

"Some witch has gone, missing; Klaus and the witches are looking for her, that's all I know for now." Eve replied.

"The witches..." Hayley thought. "What was their part in this?"

She brushed off this thought feeling too tired to ponder.

"And Elijah...?" she found herself asking.

Eve gave her a look.

"He went to find help for you." Eve told her and Hayley smiled to herself painfully while also feeling relief.

Eve watched her intently.

"You're better off without all that." She told Hayley.

Hayley turned to look at her.

"He is too." She replied but then got up not wanted to argue.

Hayley thought about it and although it hurt terribly she realised.

"It would save him a lot of trouble..."

Elsewhere Elijah appeared in Hayley's room his eyes wide on finding the bed empty.

His heart thudded with a strange fear as the thought of her coming to any sort of harm entered his mind.

"Eve." Hayley spoke after a lot of thought.

Eve turned to look at her questioningly.

"You need to tell him that I'm okay. He's going to worry and he will find me."

Eve mused for a second and then nodded, about to leave.

"Eve." Hayley spoke again, but this time her voice wavered and the pain in her words were prominent.

"Tell him, I can't do this anymore, I need to keep my baby safe and I need to find my family."

She tried to choose more words but her mind and heart were both a mess and she found she was fighting the urge to cry.

Eve nodded once again and disappeared.

Eve found Elijah and his eyes shot at hers.

"Where is she?" he asked immediately.

"She's safe, you need not worry. She belongs with us." Eve spoke.

The words stung and Elijah found himself fighting a rage.

"She belongs with me." His mind yelled.

"I need to see her." He spoke.

"She doesn't want you to find her." Eve replied.

Elijah paused on hearing this.

"What was this?" he thought.

"She says she can't do this anymore. She needs to protect her baby and find her family." Eve spoke Hayley's words emphasising the word family.

Elijah's eyes darkened and lowered at hearing this message.

"I protect her." He thought. "She is family." He thought again and a horrid feeling ran through him as he felt his heart begin to tear.

Elijah finally looked up.

Eve was gone.
