A/N: I've decided to try and reply to guest reviews through my author's notes now because many of them go unanswered. Also, just to let you know, I have been editing past chapters and some small changes have been made. That's all for now. Thank you! :)


Guest Reviews:

Guest chapter 33 . Jul 21 - Thank you very much! I'm glad you're enjoying the story. I think you had a genuine point and so I have altered Chapter 6 accordingly. I shall keep updating as soon as I can and yes I live in London! ^-^


Chapter 34: Impulsive

Hayley padded over to Elijah's room. It was late evening and the day had been as crazy as usual. It had turned out that the daywalkers had actually been killed by a powerful warlock, Papa Tunde who had issues with The Originals in the past and he was the one who had been channelling Rebekah's energy.

Hayley had also found out that through saving Rebekah, her daughter in turn had saved her father and Marcel too. It scared her, a little to know how much her baby was capable of without even being born yet, but then again, she was also glad with Rebekah's little prophecy. Her daughter was no doubt going to be a tough little one and Hayley knew this was necessary.

She now stood at Elijah's door her heart feeling like it was about to jump out of chest. She hadn't seen him since they'd bought Rebekah home since he'd been busy with all the witch stuff.

Something bad was happening and she didn't need anyone to tell her that.

"I knew those few days of peace wouldn't last." Hayley thought as she turned the door handle and slowly stepped inside. Elijah was nowhere to be seen. Hayley looked around confused and then pouted in disappointment, turning on her heal to leave.

However, just then a voice stopped her.

His voice.

"Hayley?" Elijah called, forcing her to spin back around.

"Elijah." Hayley answered even more confused at his sudden materialisation.

She then recalled how she had crept into his room and realised why there was surprise in his tone. Knowing Elijah, she had probably worried him but then it hit her, what if her turning up this way made him suspicious. She didn't want him to doubt her and remembered clearly what the last time her invading his privacy had led to.

Hayley grew flustered and a little nervous being unsure of what to say.

"I just wanted to see you." Hayley thought but did not say.

"Needed." She then mused surprised by her own emotions.

"Um- I was- just looking-I didn't mean to..." she then almost stuttered knowing he was waiting for an answer.

Elijah watched her confused at first but then realised what she was feeling. He walked up to her throwing his suit jacket onto the bed and loosening his cuffs while internally sighing and rolling his eyes at her nervousness.

Hayley tried to predict his next move but his face showed no sign.

Elijah smiled proud within that he could be unpredictable as her, for once.

He reached her and suddenly tugged her into a startling kiss, her feet hovering off the floor slightly before landing in front of his. Hayley although taken aback felt more drunk that surprised. She hadn't had the opportunity to be kissed like this with everyone and everything as it was and so she cupped his face and closed her eyes taking in the moment. It wasn't like her to give in so easily but in this moment she was too overwhelmed by just her need to be with him; that the usual battle for dominance didn't even seem to matter. Instead she let him kiss her wholeheartedly just glad she was in his arms.

Hayley hummed against his mouth in the aftermath about to ask him a question, though soon forgot what that was and so slid her arms around his neck instead.

Elijah noticed her confusion from the slight pout upon her lips and pressed a small kiss in place as her eyebrows furrowed.

"What's wrong?" he then asked softly stroking her hair away from her forehead.

"Where did you come from?" Hayley murmured in thought, now remembering her question as Elijah continued to fiddle with her strands. He chuckled at her question.

"Through the window." He replied pointing before taking a seat on his bed. It had been a long day.

Hayley walked past him discovering an arched window and raised her eyebrows.

"How did I not notice that the last time I was here?" she asked herself aloud.

Elijah pulled her back feeling a greater need for her today and Hayley gladly took a seat on the bed kneeling next to him.

"Well, I do recall you did indeed have rather a lot on your mind." Elijah replied teasingly to which Hayley smirked, her cheeks growing the slightest bit redder.

"What?" Elijah asked and Hayley looked at him confused.

"I was talking about the dessert you were so desperately craving." He spoke while casting her a look.

"What did you have in mind?" he then asked amused, his eyes narrowing.

Both their eyes then exchanged glances stilling the moment and increasing the tension.

Hayley then whacked him with a pillow.

"Yep still beats me on unpredictable." Elijah sulked inside until an idea came to him.

His expression then suddenly grew stern and almost angry and Hayley froze.

"Did you just assault me with a cushion yet again?" he asked incredulous and Hayley laughed relieved and nodded childishly in reply.

Elijah turned slowly to somehow in act a plan of revenge and Hayley in turn backed away yet was saved by a knock at the door.

Hayley grinned glad for a moment by this interruption but then froze ready to leap off the bed, realising they did not know who it was. She shifted nervously though Elijah caught her hand.

"Who is it?" he asked, raising his voice a little.

"Oh bloody hell it's only me." the voice answered and the person let themselves in.

"Rebekah!" Hayley's smiled glad to see her well again.

Rebekah noticed the slightly torn cushion and raised her eyebrows.

"I'm sorry to ruin your- whatever this is but we do have a massive witch issue at hand." She explained.

"What's happened?" Elijah asked concerned.

"That bastard of a warlock's only gone and sacrificed every bloody vampire Nik has in his garden and who knows what he plans to do next besides the usual which might I add, is kill us all!" She replied angrily.

Elijah stood up.

"He'll be more powerful than ever." He spoke to himself in thought.

Hayley huffed.

"It really never ends here does it?" she asked rhetorically.

"Forever and Always." Rebekah replied sarcastically.

"I'm off to bed then, I say we deal with the crazy witch incursion tomorrow." Hayley announced.

"Me too." Rebekah agreed and then both walked out into the corridor though then stopped to turn to Elijah who seemed engrossed in a thought.

"Yes. Goodnight." He replied and Hayley noted something was still wrong before walking back with Rebekah.

Who then surprisingly spoke, "I never said thank you."

"I know they used your blood to break the bound." She explained.

Hayley smiled.

"Well... us girls gotta still together." She replied mimicking the same phrase Rebekah had once said to her.

"But actually... I think there is something you can help me with?" she then added with a glint in her eye.

Rebekah laughed. "And I thought you acted out of the goodness of a kind heart." She replied sarcastically.
