HI! Chapter Five is finally here! Sorry for the wait, I had intended to post it right away, but had a slight malfunction- dropped my laptop thus breaking my screen- but luckily it was fixable! So here we are. Now, I admit this is another shorter chapter- I truthfully don't know if I capable of long chapters- but the reason this one is short is more because, while important- seeing as a new character enters- I want to keep moving on with the story. please, bear with me! Haha, well I hope you enjoy this chapter as much as I enjoyed writing it!
The rear car door shuts with a resounding wham as Hayley exits the car after the arrival to her new "home". The victorian building in front of her would normally cause her to pause and admire the size and grandeur of it, if only she wasn't so pissed at another occupant who was also exiting the car. His jaw was tense, obviously annoyed. Probably at her she thought with a hint of amusement, a slight smirk appearing on her lips.
She notices another car, parked cockeyed in the driveway, and her smirk vanishes, her hand going instinctively to cover her stomach.
"Who-?" Hayley doesn't get to finish, cut off by a feminine voice.
" Finally! Elijah, you called me two hours ago and told me to hurry to this damned city, now I'm here. What's so freaking important?!" Rebekah yells, emerging from the car, her displeasure at being in New Orleans obvious.
"In my defense, Rebekah, It was not my intention for you to come immediately, although this matter is quite urgent." Elijah explains, trying to mollify his sister. Hayley starts shifting from foot-to-foot, nervous and slightly impatient. Well, who wouldn't be slightly nervous. Tyler told me what Niklaus' sister did to Elena, how she killed her- or tried to at least, to bad for her Elena had vamp blood in her system Hayley thinks smugly, now tapping her fingers on her growling stomach. She was a little fuzzy on what all went down in Mystic Falls, and she wasn't a huge fan of Elena either, but she definitely knew that the three siblings being together meant trouble- and lots of it.
" Well… What was so urgent Elijah? Did Nik massacre a bunch of people again?" Rebekah asks with a sardonic tone, glancing over at her other brother with a smirk. Klaus addresses her with an answering smirk and chuckle. " Not yet little sister, but there is a definite possibility in the near future." Rebekah laughs before replying. "Already picking fights Niklaus? Tsk tsk, haha, who do you aim to kill now?" It is then that she notices the pretty brunette girl, who's slight fidgeting brought her to the blondes attention.
" Kidnapped someone already I see. Who is she? The target? Or is she just a snack?" She sniffs, surprisingly finding the scent of a wolf. " A werewolf?! Elijah! Goddamnit, I did not come here to help Klaus try and finish what he had started in mystic falls! I will not help you make any hybrids! Besides, how would you even make her one now that Elena is a vamp-"
"Oh shut up Rebekah, that is not what Little Wolf is here for." Klaus interrupts his little sisters rant, annoyed.
" She's truly here for the opposite reason. Rebekah, this is Hayley, Hayley- Rebekah. Hayley is the reason I summoned you here sister. We have a slight-" Hayley and Klaus both snort. "- dilemma…"
" What our dear brother means to say is that I somehow- through some impossible damn loophole- knocked up the Little Wolf." This is met with silence- an almost deafening one. Rebekah- who's surprised to say the least- seems to be trying to decide whether her brother is trying to be funny.
"For once my sister has nothing to say! Never thought I'd see the day, haha!" Klaus quips sarcastically, his chuckle humorless, seeming to not find the situation even remotely funny. His statement seems to startle Rebekah, a slight snarl forming on her lips.
"Shut up you ASS! Seriously, what the HELL! Is this some kind of JOKE! It better not be Niklaus, because it's really not funny! And YOU!" Rebekah rounds on Hayley- eyes glaring and an accusing finger pointed at her stomach. Hayley's hand instinctively curls protectively over her abdomen- catching Rebekahs attention as a little bit of anger leaves her eyes, slight resentment taking its place as she continues in a less volatile tone. " I swear, if you are lying to my brothers, I will Tear. You. Apart!"
Hayley's eyes glow yellow in anger. Done with being accused of lying about something she treasures, her eyes harden, her tone fierce when she finally replies.
" Goddamnit! I am SICK of listening to people say that I am lying about my baby- or jumping to conclusions and assuming they know ANYTHING about me! And if I thought I could do this on my own I would- believe me I have damn well considered it- but I had figured that maybe even the cold heartless Originals would welcome a new family member! I love this baby, and I want what's best for her, but now I'm thinking that maybe New Orleans isn't it!" Following her ferocious declaration, Hayley's stomach makes an equally vicious growl in hunger. Hayley stumbles, suddenly lightheaded. Feeling suddenly faint she almost falls when luckily someone catches her. She leans her weight reluctantly on the person, and looks up to thank who she assumes is Elijah, so she's completely surprised when she sees blue eyes and blonde hair- long blonde hair. Rebekah.
"Thanks." Hayley admits to herself that her gratitude is discernibly hesitant, and she wonders why the blonde decided to help her. I'm sure I look pretty weak and pathetic right now. Hayley's irate at the fact that she needed help. Help to freaking walk. Hayley looks for the Original brothers, finding them just inches away. Obviously the brothers had also lept forward to help the wolf, but Rebekah had been nearer. The brothers are both looking to their sister warily, also unmistakably trying to understand what motivated the blonde to catch the wolf.
" Did neither of you feed the poor girl? She's eating for two now you know! And also looks like she hasn't slept in days! Men! I swear, I'm gonna get them both books about the needs of pregnant women!" Rebekah leads- drags really- Hayley toward the front door of their house, intending to get the girl some food, the brothers following. Hayley decides to apologize to the blonde, now knowing that she'll be around for awhile.
" I'm… sorry for yelling before. But since I got here, everyone has accused me of being a liar… And I would never lie about her… I know it sounds crazy, but I already love her more than anything else." Hayley bashfully admits. She looks around the house and takes in her new home that she will now be living in for the foreseeable future.
" It's alright. I mean, its not, and you're lucky you're pregnant- otherwise I probably would've killed you- but all is forgiven. New Orleans has that affect- a lot of anger and resentment is in this city, and tends to swallow people whole. So we-" She points between herself and the wolf, "- have to stick together. So you think it's a girl?" She gestures to her companions stomach, to which Hayley nods in answer. "Huh… I could see that. I'll spoil her rotten." She shares a wink with the girl, surprising Hayley with her camaraderie.
Hayley sneaks a glance at Klaus, wondering what he thinks of his sister newfound fondness of her, and finds him chuckling with Elijah, both watching their sister fanning over the clearly confused mother. Hayley flips them the bird behind Rebekahs back.
" Well that's not ladylike at all little wolf." Hayley grins at his comment and sticks her tongue out childishly. Klaus' smirk turns decidedly mischievous…
I JUST LOVE CLIFFHANGERS! Okay, so Rebekah is here! Wonder what Klaus might have in store for Hayley with his devious mind? Well thats the end of this chapter, I know what happens next, but what comes after might take a bit to write. I hope you've enjoyed my story thus far! Review if you get a chance, because I do love knowing everyones opinions. Until next chapter!
