Klaus + Hayley: Sexy Halloween Party

They were all invited to this party, hosted by Marcel. He was hoping that with Halloween coming this soon, they would get a chance to get some more mysteries solved, as of course getting the undefeatable Guerras invited. Klaus, Marcel and Elijah were all standing together and looking around at the splendid work Marcel had done. "I have to hand it to you. You sure did it spectacular this time." Klaus whispered to him and Marcel smirked, thanking him. "So…what do we need to do?" he finally asked and Klaus shrugged. "For now, we just enjoy the party while it lasts and find out anything we can."

"I doubt that at a party like this one, we are going to get much information, Niklaus. People have come here to party and to drink, not to answer some of your questions…if you are looking for a way to take down the Guerras." Elijah was saying and Klaus chuckled. "Nonsense, brother! I can tell that you haven't been out for a while, with all those sweet nothings that you have been pouring into Hayley's ear." On cue, Marcel left and Elijah and Klaus were left alone, both of them looking at one another.

"What was that, Niklaus?" Elijah asked and Klaus looked at him innocently. "Have I offended the great and noble Elijah? Forgive me, brother that was not my intension." "All I have been doing since you got us into this mess is try and help Hayley. Those sweet nothings as you call it happen to be lessons for her behavior, which has not improved since you took over." "That is not my problem. I have agreed to help Hayley deal with her new found senses as a hybrid. I have not agreed to become her lap dog and follow her around, barking orders on how she must behave or claiming how fetching she is." He grinned at his own little dog joke. "This is all a game to you isn't it, Niklaus? You don't care about Hayley at all!"

Klaus poured himself a glass of something and growled. "I dare you to say that once more, Elijah. I am the one who has been helping Hayley and teaching her everything that she needs to know. I have done plenty for her because I care for her, because she is the mother of my child. And outside of that, yes, I happen to care for her as a person. Don't you tell me I don't. That is why I have been doing all of this. I've been doing this for her, because I know how much she wishes to have our daughter back into her arms again." He finished in a whisper and made Elijah raise his eyebrows in surprise. "Hayley has not gotten better, Niklaus. She had gotten worse. She killed…" "I don't really care, Elijah. She is being her true self. She is letting go of everything. That is what we all need once in a while, to let go."

"The only reason that I am allowing you any longer to train her is because she wouldn't listen to anyone else but you. I can't explain it. I don't know why she has made such a vile choice, but this is her choice and I am going to try to accept it even though I don't agree with it. You are not going to play with her mind or teach her to do things that she would normally regret, do you understand me?" "Is that a threat, brother?" Elijah didn't say anything as Hayley entered the ball room and Klaus finished his drink saying, "If she prefers I train her, then it's probably because I am doing a better job than you." He left without saying another word and Elijah turned his head around and smiled as best he could.

Hayley went over to him with a smirk on her face, wearing a simple purple dress with her hair flowing gently on her bare back and her mascara clearly shown, making her dangerously beautiful. "Hello, Elijah." She said with a smirk and crossed her arms over her chest. This was exactly the kind of behavior that Elijah didn't usually respect but he tried to make the most of it for Hayley's sake. She got herself a drink and Elijah put a hand on her back, trying to find a more calm way to speak to her but she pulled away. "Elijah, listen, I came to this really hot Halloween party to try and forget. This is one night when I want to try to forget about my daughter and I want to forget about the family that I have lost along with my identity. I want to be me and I want to have fun. You are in my way." Hayley was saying and moved past him, leaving him a bit speechless. Elijah believed that she was behaving so unlike her when in fact, she had let go of the mask and she was showing her true colors.

Camille had also shown up at the ball and did her best to avoid Klaus, as he asked her to stay away from him. She was looking around, searching for Elijah to speak to him when she saw him with Hayley. He was brushed off by her and Camille finally took this chance to go to him, but not before stopping near Hayley and grabbing her arm. Hayley shook her arm off and parted from her. "What do you want, Cami?" "I want to know if you are okay. You have barely spoken to me since…" "Yes, I know. You should get in line. Elijah is the one on top getting all worried sick about me when I am perfectly fine!" Camille wouldn't exactly say that but she nodded and whispered, "Alright, suite yourself." She and Hayley haven't exactly been friends as they used to since Hayley became a hybrid. Elijah caught Camille's eye and she went over to him. She knew how he must have been feeling about Hayley but she needed to talk about other things.

"Hey, are you okay?" she asked and Elijah nodded, smiling at her. "She is not herself." "You can say that again. So listen! Have you and your brother figured out a way to take down the Guerras?" She made sure to ask that in a whisper and Elijah shook his head. "Because of the state that Hayley is in, Niklaus and I have grown more estranged due to our different opinions on how she should be helped." "Elijah, Hayley is a big girl and she can look after herself. If you ask me, all that she is asking for is a small break. Maybe you should give her that." "I suppose you're right." Elijah mumbled and asked Cami if she wanted a drink. She accepted one and said, "I know that you feel you are right when it comes to Hayley, Elijah but you should also think about the possibility that your brother is right. Klaus is the Original Hybrid. He knows more about what she is going through right now." Camille was telling him things that he really didn't want to hear, but they were correct.

Hayley was drinking at a corner of the room, watching other girls all dressed up in sexy outfits of cats or bunnies. She didn't want to dress up. She believed it was too ridiculous at this time and in her condition. "I see that the little wolf has decided to attend the party after all." Klaus murmured against her ear and she turned around with a smirk on her face. "Why are you so surprised?" "Because when Elijah and I asked you, you said you would prefer to remain at home." "I guess I needed a time out, away from all of that. I need to feel alive again." Klaus chuckled when he heard that. "I completely understand, love."

He held out a hand. "Care for a spectacular Halloween dance, love?" The melody Bad Romance by Lady Gaga was on and people were yelling, dancing and having fun. Hayley wanted that so badly. She wanted to forget her problems for one night and took Klaus' hand as he took her onto the dance floor. "Are you feeling better with your hybrid senses, love?" Klaus asked Hayley and she nodded, in his arms. "Your advice really helps…but I'm not quite there yet, am I?" "Where love?" "To where I am supposed to be as a hybrid. I am not in complete control." "You've just begun this training, little wolf. You need to give it some time." Klaus responded against her ear and Hayley nodded as Klaus spun her around to the music and she laughed a little. He spun her back to him and she landed on his chest as she gasped. Klaus chuckled and she smiled at him as he pulled her even closer to him. At once, she realized that she had been looking at him for a long time and looked away, not standing the feeling she got around him.

"What are you doing?" she asked him and he whispered, "Helping you have fun for one night. I need it just as much as you do, whether you believe it or not, Hayley." "Why do you need this?" "Because I've been through a lot and I am tired of grieving. There is nothing we should be grieving for. Our daughter is not gone. She is with Rebekah and she will come back to us if we have faith." Klaus whispered and looked deep into her eyes. Hayley gave him a genuine smile and nodded. "And hope." Klaus smiled back at her and whispered, "Yes, and hope."
