OK! So chapter seven… right? Well I guess this is more 6 ½, because I just needed to update something, and this is all I got so far. Sadly I have been super busy with two jobs and have no time for any of my creative outlets- which seems to have put me in a bit of a block… Hopefully though, I'll be back to normal when my hectic schedule settles some. Until then, enjoy this half chapter!

Klaus waits until he's certain that Hayley is deeply asleep before he exits the room. His room, but Hayley doesn't need to know that yet. He stalks through the hallway and down the stairs, finding his siblings in a room on the opposite side of the manor from their sleeping resident. Klaus enters the room, going to the the liquor stored at the bar instantly, pouring a glass before turning to the other occupants in the room.

" Elijah, Call Sophie. NOW! When this ends, I will have all the witches heads!" After his command, which Elijah agreed to readily, Klaus leaves the room, heading for the exit with Rebekah following.

"And what are we doing Nik? What do you have planned in that demented mind of yours?" Klaus whirls around, stopping Rebekah in her tracks.

" I am going to run a few errands along with Elijah when he gets off the phone with Sophie. You my dear sister, will unfortunately have to stay here." Rebekah pouts, and Klaus knows he'll need to reason with his female sibling. "Oh don't pout Bekah. I need someone I trust to watch over Little Wolf and my child. You can kill anything that dares go near her." Rebekah huffs, knowing that there are very few who would be foolish enough to approach the Original siblings dwelling, but agrees with Nik nonetheless. Hayley was their priority, and for the time being Klaus was trusting his female sibling to protect her and their child.

" While I'm not happy to be left out Nik, I swear that I'll protect Hayley and the baby. Just promise me to make the witches suffer." A shared predatory grin spreads on the siblings faces.

"That I can easily promise, Little Sister." With that he storms out of the house, completely bypassing his car in favor of his vampire speed. Soon after, Elijah leaves the room he'd been occupying, a disgruntled expression on his face- something Rebekah wasn't sure she'd ever seen displayed.

" What's wrong Elijah? Did you get ahold of the bitch- I mean witch?"

" I was unable to reach her. It would seem that they have chosen to halt communication with us until the meeting. Where is Niklaus, Rebekah?"

"Nik just left. He said you both had errands to run. You could probably catch up to him if you leave now." Rebekah informs her brother, to which he gives her a nod as good-bye before following after their brother.

After closing the door, Rebekah proceeds toward the kitchen. I'm sure Hayley will be hungry when she wakes up… Hmm, what to make..? Rebekah soon makes her decision after perusing the kitchen more. Chuckling to herself, she set out the supplies she'll need to make one of her best dishes.

Hayley wakes slowly, her hand automatically going to her head from the intense throbbing of opening her eyes.

" Finally you're awake! I was hoping you hadn't gone into a coma after Nik put you in my care." Hayley starts, jumping from her bed in almost a blink of the, eyes glowing gold.

" Oh, settle down Hayley, its just me. I even brought food, I'm sure you're close to ravenous at this point." Hayley's posture relaxes, now recognizing the voice as Rebekah. She quickly sits on the bed, the adrenalin having now worn off. Her head resumes the earlier throbbing, made worse by the exertion.

Ignoring the tension between her temples, she looks up to Rebekah. She nearly laughs but is able to hold it in- her grin was too strong to hold back though. Rebekah pops a hip giving Hayley a daring stare. Hayley is fighting a losing battle with her amusement.

"What..?"

" N-Nothing…" She laughs, she can't help it. "But, WHAT are you wearing?!" Her laughs increasing at the annoyed expression on Rebekahs' face. She really, seriously cannot help herself looking at the debacle adorning Rebekah. The woman is wearing an apron- but not just any apron, its one of the ones with a woman's curvaceous body printed on it, and to top it off someone had stuck a pin on it that exclaimed in big letters "KEEP CALM AND KISS THIS COOK!" It also didn't help that Rebekah seemed to have flour on the ends of one side of her hair, and probably hadn't noticed it.

" Shut it. I had bought this for Klaus as a joke a couple of years ago, but apparently it was the only one he has in this damned house, and I was NOT going to chance getting food on this top, its brand freaking new."

" The aprons nice- haha- Rebekah! Really, I love it, I think you should wear it all the time." The menace in Bekah's eyes- somewhat dulled by amusement- is conveyed equally in her voice when she replies.

" I'll keep how much you love it in mind when Christmas comes around Hayley. Maybe I'll get you a matching one." Hayley sticks her tongue out childishly, followed by opening her mouth to say something wise-assed about vampires celebrating Christmas, when her tray is plopped into her lap forcing her to catch it. " Now hush, it's time to eat."

So obviously this chapter was sort of cutesy, and all over the place writing style wise- luckily we haven't reached the very important part yet, tis is more just a backstory for the next chapter. Can't wait to see how this conflict unfolds!
