HI! So I got some positive feedback, mostly saying that I should continue with the story- which I'm more than happy to oblige! I've been wanting to write a fanfiction for years, so I'm overjoyed that I've finally done it! Once again I don't own the Originals or TVD1 Enjoy the chapter!


In the last chapter: Klaus has discovered Hayley is in New Orleans being held hostage by the witches who are being terrorized by Marcel -a vampire- and his minions. The witches have revealed that Hayley is pregnant- with Klaus's child. Hayley has been bound to Sophie as a way to force Klaus' hand, to make him and his brother help. And we all know how much Klaus hates being backed into a corner: so what will he do?

"Well, Klaus?" Sophie's voice calls out. She's worried that he won't concede, that she'll have to hurt Hayley again. That she'll have to hurt herself. Sophie was not a fan of pain, but desperation makes one do things they usually wouldn't. Since her sister's death, her sister's sacrifice, Sophie had felt a hole in her heart, one she doesn't think will ever go away. She moves to Hayley, who's looking at Klaus' back with worry. Her big doe eyes are glassy, watering at the thought of being abandoned again, like so many times before. Hayley's hand lifts, reaching out to Klaus subconsciously, before lowering it and turning away. I will be fine, she tries to convince herself. She'd always been a survivor, when her parents abandoned her, when she went through foster care, when she was rejected by yet another family.

Besides, now she had a reason to want, no, need to live. She vowed to herself and her child that they would be safe, even if she had to save them herself. Hand rubbing her barely-there bump, she turns to Sophie, brushing off her 'soothing' hand from her shoulder, determination set on her face. She opens her mouth to speak up for herself and her unborn child, when someone interrupts.

"We'll take your damned deal, Witch." Klaus bites out turning. Grabbing Hayley, he starts pulling her from the godforsaken room, fighting the urge to kill the ones threatening what was his.

" Understand, if Hayley comes to any harm, our agreement will be void, and my brother and I will come for you." With those his parting words, Elijah departs the same direction as Klaus and Hayley. After the Original brothers and wolf are out of the cemetery, and hearing distance, Sabine speaks out.

"That child will not be allowed to live to its birth. Another original, even an infant, would be an upset to the balance. The child will be too powerful. We cannot allow it to live."


Now To The Original Brothers and Hayley

"Klaus, stop! I don't especially like being manhandled!" Hayley yells in frustration, after tugging her arm had no effect. Klaus whirls around suddenly, finally releasing Hayley's wrist. Not expecting him to actually let go and stop, she has a difficult time stopping herself, and almost collides with Klaus.

" What the hell Klaus! You could warn a person beforehand! Not all of us have vampire reflexes!" Hayley scolds, surprised. Klaus smirks, obviously amused. Creepy.

" You may not be a vampire, but you are a werewolf. So ,in theory, you should have faster reflexes, little wolf."

"Stop teasing the poor girl, Brother. She's been through an ordeal already." Elijah admonishes, having reached the two. "Besides, we have the serious matter of Marcel and the other vampires to discuss. What do you propose we do about them?" Klaus and Elijah both glance at Hayley, the brothers acknowledging that they must do as the witches demand, else-wise have the wolf, and child, be put in harms way. Elijah knew that he would not put the mother in harms way, but what of Klaus? Elijah remember's Klaus' bond to Marcel, he thought of the boy almost as a son. He would not put Marcel before his own child, his blood, would he? Elijah wanted to believe he wouldn't, but he remembered how long his brother had mourned over the supposed death of Marcel before.

Either way, whatever Klaus chose, Elijah knew that his brother would later regret if harm came to Hayley and their child. So being the good man, and brother, he was he couldn't allow that to happen.

"Guys, not to break up this little discussion, but I'm starving. Is there somewhere nearby I can eat?" Hayley requests. Klaus seems to not hear her, but begins walking toward town.

"Are we suppose to follow him, or does he want to be alone? No offense, Elijah, but your brother is really irritating sometimes." Hayley exclaims, clearly unsure of Klaus' intentions. Elijah grins slightly at the woman's annoyance directed at his brother, and considers responding. Instead he nudges her forward and walks with her toward the direction Klaus had went.

"You know Hayley, most would be afraid to say those sort of things about Klaus out loud, for risk of death."

" I suppose it would make sense to be frightened but…" Her hand once again goes to her belly. She would never admit it out loud, but she found Klaus to be almost trustworthy, in a messed up way. He's unbalanced and quick to kill an enemy, sure, but family is important to him, even if they upset him. Klaus is almost… Predictable? No, not quite, but thats the only word that comes to mind. I don't think Klaus would intentionally harm our baby- or me… Sure, he's kind of an ass, but this is his kid.

"Klaus, you need to slow down. Hayley cannot be expected to keep up with you." Elijah calls out to his brother who's about ten yards away now. Klaus turns to them.

" Come along, little wolf, I thought you were hungry?"

"Oh shut it Klaus, I am hungry, but you have longer legs and vampire speed!" Hayley replies exasperated, to which Klaus lets out a muffled chuckle. But she speeds up nonetheless at the prospect of food. She and Elijah quickly catch up to Klaus. The group continues walking.

" Where are we going Niklaus? Hayley cannot be noticed in her condition, and we do not want Marcel to discover her connection to you." Elijah states. Klaus leads them to a car Hayley had not previously noticed. Klaus escorts her to the drivers side backseat, opening the door while answering Elijah.

" We're going to our new home. You remember the old Mayors house, don't you Elijah? I made a call while you two were catching up and bought it. Originally I had planned on our beloved New Orleans home, but it seems Marcel now occupies it." Klaus explains brusquely, obviously irate at the fact. " But, I suppose if we're going to hide little wolf from Marcel, that house is the best choice." Once they're in the car they quickly start toward the house that holds many of the brothers memories.


Ok, first off, I know Klaus probably seems pretty nice to Hayley in this chapter- but I don't think she's pissed him off enough yet for him to be too nasty to her yet. I haven't decided much yet, but I do know that their personalities will clash later on. Anyway, I plan on updating at least once a week hopefully. So, I hoped you liked the second chapter. I love reviews! I'll try to update soon!
