Previously in Kings & Queens of NOLA, Klaus revealed to Hayley at the ball that he wanted her by his side and kissed her as Hayley was wrecked with guilt. Rebekah chose to ignore her feelings for Marcel and betray him like they had planned. Klaus had confronted both girls in anger and feeling hurt and betrayed and lots of things have been said from that. Genevieve had told Klaus that Rebekah was behind bringing Mikael into town all those years ago and Klaus took a swig to dagger her with the White Oak Stake, being stopped by Hayley and Marcel. At last, a battle between the werewolves, witches and vampires erupted only to have it stopped by Davina, who proposed an agreement to each side getting half of New Orleans. The representatives have signed a treaty for the good of the people of New Orleans. In this chapter, we will see reactions from what happened and a meeting between Klaus, Hayley, Rebekah and Marcel alone which will explode. Thank you for reviewing and following my story. Please continue to do so. Long May They Reign!

Rebekah's POV

I woke up early in the morning with a slight headache and fear rushed through me as I could remember my brother hovering over me with the White Oak Stake. I was expecting something like this to happen, but never actually believed that it would happen. I walked out of my room and went downstairs, trying to admire the new place where we would be living in and I felt as if I had been exiled. It was a beautiful home, nonetheless. What I was surprised about was witches and werewolves guarding each and every room. "This house has been put under serious protection." A witch informed me after I asked. I knew why it has been done that way. Just because we had been granted our own fair share of New Orleans, that didn't mean that we were protected one hundred percent. I walked into the living room and stopped.

Sophie, Hayley and Davina were all sitting on the couches and Hayley was eating something, her huge belly clearly revealed. "Hi, Rebekah." Davina said softly and invited me over to join them. I wasn't used to all of this but I hoped that I would be soon enough. Davina put some papers in front of me. "Both you and Hayley have to meet up with Klaus and Marcel this morning to discuss some things that you're entitled to and what you're not entitled to." She explained and I looked over the papers. I was hoping last night could have been a nightmare but it hadn't and everyone in this room had clearly been affected by last night, especially Hayley. I put the papers down and looked at Sophie. "Why can't the two of you come along with us?" "Because we are not the real leaders of this half, as you and Hayley are. The two of you must go. You don't have to worry because you will be well protected." I growled. "I am not bloody worried. I am an Original, just like Niklaus. It's Hayley and her baby I'm worried about." Hayley put down her food. "Rebekah, I can take care of myself. As long as I am carrying this baby, nothing bad is going to happen to me." "And what about after?" There was no answer from her.

This wasn't just something that was going to last for a couple of weeks. We have officially split New Orleans in half and now we were forced to rule this half of it while we fight for the other half. This wasn't what I had planned. Hayley could give birth in a couple of weeks and then, I was sure that she would be in danger from all the vampires in New Orleans. It was my duty to protect her at all costs. "Do we really have to go? And do we really have to be alone to discuss this?" I asked Sophie and she sighed. "Marcel is not going to let anything go wrong. He knows it just as much as we do that the last thing New Orleans needs right now is a war. Many humans are actually on your side and Klaus can't afford to upset them." Hayley shook her head. "The humans are not on our side." "You want to bet? Since last night, many have moved to this part of town because of you, because they want to be led by the two of you." Sophie told us.

Hayley and I looked over at one another in shock. "So, we do have supporters then?" Hayley asked and Sophie nodded. "Why do you think Marcel agreed to this pact? Why do you think that Klaus hasn't done anything for now? It's all because of the humans. Marcel likes to believe that vampires are the biggest population in this city but he knows that he is wrong. The humans take up more of this city than any other species. The humans choose and you should thank them because that is the only reason why Klaus has not started a war and come here to rip you both apart, along with us for going behind his back like this." I looked at her closely. "So what do we do? We just walk back to the Abattoir? Right into a lion's den? They have the White Oak Stake." "And you are an Original, Rebekah. Start acting like it and show no signs that you are afraid. You will give them an advantage. Let them propose to you what you get for owning half of the city and then you start negotiating. Don't let them be the ones to negotiate. You get what you want, you come back and we'll figure this out together because we will have a long way to go from here." Sophie explained and then stood up to talk to some witches guarding their mansion. I was proud of Sophie in fact. Who knew what would have happened to us if we hadn't had her with us? Hayley was looking down at her feet. She looked a bit pale.

I put my hand on her forehead to check her temperature and saw that she was fine. She looked at me for one moment and sighed, looking back down. "I'm sorry." I whispered to her and she nodded, looking away. Whatever Niklaus must have said to her the other night must have really hurt her. The things Marcel had said to me hurt me just as much but I did my best to ignore the feelings boiling up inside of me. We got half of New Orleans…but that wasn't even close to being enough. We had to take the entire city for us to officially be declared Queens. "Are you sure that you're good to go to this meeting with me?" I asked her and Hayley scoffed. "Yeah? Are you kidding me? I am not going to let you walk in there all on your own."

Klaus' POV

Drinking bourbon didn't help one bit. I have never felt more humiliated or betrayed since I stepped foot on Earth. And who would have thought that the very people who had chosen to betray me turned out to be my sister, once again and the woman that I almost gave my heart to…Hayley. She had brought me pain which I couldn't get rid of. This pain…would not be relinquished easily except with more pain and torture, coming from me. I heard footsteps and I growled when I realized who they belonged to. "What are you doing in my chambers?" I asked him and Marcel took another step forward. "You have to come out of this room and talk to me about this, Klaus." He said calmly and I cackled up a laugh and stood up, facing him. I slammed the glass of bourbon to the floor. "How dare you even speak to me at this moment? What you have done last night…" "…was only to help save this town! What?! Do you think that it gave me great pleasure to watch Hayley and Rebekah take half of our town?" "You didn't have a problem creating a treaty for them, or maybe you did it because of your still heartfelt feelings for my sister or because of your pretty little witch, Davina?" "Klaus, this decision had nothing to do with neither Davina nor Rebekah! This decision was made to protect our reputation. The humans…" "The humans are under our rule." "Many have joined the other side. I wouldn't bet on it!" Marcel snapped at me and took a glass of wine for himself.

I was looking out the window, noticing the sun rising. This wasn't a new beginning. Normally, the sun should have set, because of such treachery. Not only have I lost half the city in one night but I have also lost the trust that I had in my baby sister and the woman bearing my child. I growled once again when I thought of those sweet moments, the confessions towards her and everything that I had hoped to tell her, only to have her go behind my back and toy with me, like so many women have done before. I should have known that showing her everything I held dear inside my heart would be a mistake. I should have known! Hayley is no different than any of the other girls that have betrayed me and used me in the past. She is no different just because she is carrying my child. She was no different! I gave up so much to her that I could not take back now. I turned over to Marcel and saw him looking at me calmly. Wasn't he going through the same pain I was going? "Is Cami safe?" I asked him and he nodded slowly.

"What is your plan now, Marcellus?" I asked him and we both took a seat on the couch. "We wait for Rebekah and Hayley to come." He whispered and my eyes grew wide. "What? You invited them back here?" "It's business. I talked to Sophie Deveraux. She played her game very well and she had some pretty good points. The humans in this town have a far greater influence than any other supernatural being. We please the humans and let them decide who the real rulers of New Orleans should be. If we start a war now, we end up with nothing and with the army that Hayley and Rebekah have built, we have a far greater chance of losing. What do you suggest we do?" I was lost in my thoughts but I had paid attention to what he said and I realized that he was correct. "Why are Hayley and Rebekah coming over?" I asked in a whisper. "So we can handle this maturely and divide the properties and the goods of New Orleans equally." Marcel explained. "Maturely? I have just found out last night that my own sister had destroyed our lives when New Orleans was burned down by my father. She brought him back…and she destroyed us. I tried to shove a White Oak Stake into her heart last night and I would have succeeded if Hayley…"

Just saying her name made me bitter on the inside. I couldn't show this anymore. The pain, the betrayal. This was not who I was. I was a King and I was planning on acting like one. "Bring them here and let's see what they have to say for themselves." I whispered and put down my drink, heading for the door to my room. I wanted to leave. "You better prepare yourself." Marcel called out to me but I ignored him. The door opened before I could open it myself. Genevieve was looking at me with what she tried a comforting smile. "Hi…" "Don't you know how to knock?" I asked her in a whisper and she was taken aback and tried to answer but I brushed past her. I didn't know what had gotten into me. This woman is the one who had stayed by my side and had never betrayed me. And here I was, treating her like she was no one that mattered to me. I made my way to my art room and tried to focus on anything else other than the pain and sorrow of the betrayal of the beautiful werewolf girl I had wanted like the air to breathe.

Sophie's POV

Hayley and Rebekah were getting ready for their meeting and I could tell that they looked very nervous. I didn't blame them after what happened last night. I grabbed my jacket and I could hear Davina hurrying up behind me. "Where are you going?" she asked me and I shrugged. "I need some fresh air. You keep Hayley and Rebekah some company until they are ready to go and make sure that they are accompanied by some or our best witches and werewolves to the entrance at least. The rest, they can do it themselves." I informed her and opened the door to leave the mansion. I had never really explored this side of the city but I liked that it was more quiet and peaceful here than on the other side. Never the less, I had a coven to check on.

"Sophie, what are you doing here?" one of them asked me and I sighed. "After last night, I need to make sure that the spells we are practicing are strong enough to protect the new Queens. I will need you all to take some tests and make sure your spells qualify." They agreed, even though it was not what they were really looking forward to doing first thing in the morning. I moved to the first one of my witches. "Take a deep breath." She did as I asked and we began. A cold rush could be felt and I pulled back at once and turned around to see Genevieve standing there. "What are you doing here?" I asked her and she smiled at me devilishly. "I could ask you the same thing. Last time I checked, you and your little friends got your own fair share of New Orleans the other night. What are you doing on the territory that does not belong to you?" "Does it belong to you?" "I do live with Klaus. Yes, it does. Now I suggest you and your little coven make yourself scarce and go to your side, before I will have to report this."

I crossed my arms over my chest. "We are not going anywhere until the negotiations are through. They aren't. They haven't even begun and this coven has belonged to me and my family for years. That is not going to change." "We will see about that, Deveraux. I wonder what your sister will think of you now, if she were still alive." "How low can you get? Trying to use the sister card on me? It's not going to work, Genevieve. Jane Ann and I might have had a difference of opinion when it came to witches but I seriously doubt that if she were alive right now, she would have chosen to stand with you." "You see, that's where you're mistaken." "I guess we'll never know but you never knew my sister the way I have." "I wouldn't be so sure about that, Sophie. Take a look again in your family history. Your sister and I used to be good friends." "I don't believe you." "Believe what you want, but your sister was just another gorgeous version of me. You may be the elder witch now, Sophie, helping those two girls get what they want, but I wonder how long this is going to last. I mean, in case you have forgotten, you are at war with Niklaus Mikaelson." "We are negotiating for peace, not war." "That's not what he wants." "I am in no mood to have these useless conversations with the wanna be elder witch. Why don't you make yourself useful and get yourself into his bed again, because that seems like your one and only purpose here after all. Klaus will never care about you the way you think. He's using you to get laid and to get power. That is Niklaus Mikaelson for you." Genevieve frowned at that moment and whispered, "We will see." Before she made her way out of the coven.

Hayley's POV

We were sitting at a huge and round table in the Abattoir and we were alone. I was sitting with Rebekah close to me as Klaus and Marcel were looking at us sternly on the other side of the circle. "I am so glad to could find your way back here, little wolf, after the stunt you pulled the other night." Klaus whispered and he received a look from Marcel, who was avoiding Rebekah's gaze. "Alright! We're going to make this clear and simple from the start. I am not settling with more or less. You get what you get for half the city. There will be no arguing on that point." Rebekah snickered. "What you choose to ignore is the population of the humans, Marcellus who are more than happy to join us on the other side. Unfortunately, we don't have room for everyone so our side needs to be a little bit more expanded." Rebekah told him.

I gave her a look this time. This was not what we had in mind, but it was a good idea to set some good points here. Klaus looked over at me and avoided Rebekah's gaze as well. "You are both out of your pretty little heads if you think that I am going to give up more of this city than I already have and you know that reason why you are still here, living and breathing, the two of you." Rebekah gave me a look that told me not to panic. I knew Klaus and I knew all about his threats. He was angry, angrier than I could ever imagine. We had hurt him the other night and he wasn't going to forgive us for that. Most importantly, he had found out Rebekah's darkest secret of them all and he wasn't planning on letting it slide. "Anything you would like to add, Klaus? I think Rebekah has made our point pretty clear? You want a clean community, we need more than what you're offering to cover the people who support us." I told him bravely. I was looking at him with courage and dignity. I was not going to let him run me over like that. As a leader myself, I deserved some respect, even from him. But as I looked into his dark and cold eyes, I felt some force pulling me down to look at his juicy, blood-colored lips. Those were the lips that I had kissed the other night, right before my betrayal. I could not understand why I had been watching his lips like that. I could feel hem once again in my mind and more and more, I had begun regretting what I had done.

Klaus looked up from me and he started laughing. It was a disgusted sort of laugh but it was a laugh nonetheless and I could tell that even Marcel was surprised by his outburst. He had not smiled since the recent changes of events. "You are out of your pretty little head indeed, love. I am going to say this once again, little wolf. I am not settling." I couldn't take it anymore and I slammed my fists onto the table. "You are not settling because you are acting like the same selfish and arrogant bastard you've always been. You claim to be a King but you have never done anything to prove yourself as a King. All you've done was bark orders and hope that you will be rewarded for that. If you don't get the people of New Orleans what they want, you will never be appreciated as a King, which is why we get more followers as leaders now. You brought this on yourself. By not giving us more share of the city, you are going to lose even more support. Have it your way!" I sat back into my chair and Rebekah looked at me, shocked.

The negotiations were not going as planned because to be more exact, Rebekah and Marcel weren't really a part of it anymore. This was just me against Klaus. "Sweetheart, you are trying my patience and you have some nerve to ask something like this from me after everything that had happened." I believed that he was talking about our little moment from before at the party. That sweet moment where he told me that he wants me and then he kissed me so softly, the way I've never been kissed. "I am trying your patience? You are not doing what is right!" "I am giving you your fair share. You have gotten more than enough for now." "What do you mean for now?" "Before I get back everything that rightfully belongs to me, not you, little wolf." "You are in no position to tell me that!" "Yes, I am love. Think again." I pulled back and looked at him closely. "What is this about, Klaus? You are taking this personally…" "The damn right I am!" Klaus growled and slammed his own fists into the table, making the rest of us jump. Marcel grabbed him and pulled him back down on the chair. "Enough, we are not doing this." He told him. I didn't think that he was really paying attention to what his partner was saying.

His eyes would not leave mine as we stood there and looked at each other. I could see that Rebekah and Marcel were deep in thought about one another as well as they watched each other closely. "Anything more that you would like to bring up? Stores, land?" Marcel asked Rebekah with a look of anger in his eyes. "No. There is nothing left to talk about." Rebekah whispered dangerously. "Are you sure about that?" Marcel asked her and she nodded. "I am very sure. I don't need to talk to you about anything else right now. Not anymore." Marcel nodded and looked over at Klaus who was still looking at me. "Then we are done here. Keep your people off our land and we will keep ours off of yours." He stated and Rebekah stood up. "What about the witch coven? They belong on your land. That is their sacred place in the cemetery." "I'm sorry, sister but the cemetery is on our land, not yours." Klaus whispered with a smirk on his face and I argued. "The witches have belonged to that cemetery since forever. You can't take that away from them." "Since it is our land and those witches are not siding with us, they will have no choice but to move to the other side otherwise…I would prefer not to let you know, little wolf." Klaus responded and I sighed in defeat. I decided to pull myself out of this deal and agree.

"Sophie is not going to be pleased." Rebekah whispered to me as we both stood up and Klaus and Marcel followed our every move, both with their arms crossed over their chests. They looked like hurt little boys and it almost made me laugh a little as I watched them. But this was no laughing matter. There was nothing to laugh about here. I looked over at Klaus who looked at my stomach and I covered it with my hand. What was going to happen with our child? With all the rush and arguments regarding New Orleans, we had completely forgotten to talk about our future child. I opened my mouth to say something but Klaus opened the door for me and motioned for me to leave along with Rebekah. We left and I could hear the door slam after us. "Are you okay, Rebekah?" I asked her. It must have been incredibly confusing to be in the same room with Klaus after he tried to kill her in the last twenty-four hours. "Why wouldn't I be okay? The two bastards got what they wanted and we got what we wanted, except for Sophie. I hope she is not going to throw a bloody fit for us not fighting for her place in the cemetery."

Rebekah's POV

Hayley and I went back to our new home and we saw Davina inside, holding a magazine in her arms. She was reading it for a while and lost in it apparently. "How did it go?" Davina asked at once without even saying hello to us. "Like a bloody nightmare." I mumbled and dropped on the couch with my arms crossed over my chest. Hayley followed me shortly. "So, we have some good news and some bad news." Hayley whispered and Davina stood up at once. "What is the good news? I could really use some." "The good news is that we got our fair share and we didn't have to kill the two bastards for it." I told her and she asked seriously. "And what's the bad news?" I sighed and rubbed my forehead. "You and Sophie have to say bye-bye to that sacred cemetery place of yours. It's their land. There was nothing we could do."

Sophie entered our place with a frown on her face and I was pretty worried that she might have found out how the negotiations have gone. "Genevieve has some nerve!" she exclaimed. Great! Another problem on our plate now. "What did she do now?" Hayley asked. "She told me that the cemetery belongs to Klaus and the witches need to get the hell out. Excuse me? That place has been our sacred spot for practicing witchcraft since New Orleans has been built all those years ago. There is no way that we are moving out of there." "Oh yes, you will." I told her. "What are you talking about? What happened?" Sophie asked me. "It's their land, Sophie. You tell your witches to pack up their grimoirs and cauldrons and move on this side of the city." "They can't do that." "They overpowered us so yes they can." Hayley told her. "Sophie, please, just let it go and tell your witches to get over here, okay? We could use all the protection we could get right now especially with Hayley pregnant." Hayley was looking over at her belly. "Nothing is going to happen to me and my baby. Klaus will make sure of that." "Hayley, Nik tried to kill me right about last night. He does not think rationally when he is feeling revengeful because of a betrayal. He could lock you up in a coffin for all you know, and as for me…well, you witnessed it last night. And they still have the White Oak Stake!"

"We've come to an understanding and we are going to stick to it for now." Davina whispered and looked over at her phone. "We could have really used Elijah in a time like this one." I pulled her phone away from her. "No, we don't need my noble brother to get involved. He wouldn't want to. The reason he left New Orleans was to avoid all of this drama." Hayley gulped and looked at her hands. I knew what she felt about Elijah back when he was here. She must have really been missing him all this time. Maybe I had not figured it out. "I think that I am going to get myself a cup of coffee. This is just too much to take. Anyone wants some?" Sophie asked and we all raised our hands except Hayley. Confine was not good for the baby.

Marcel's POV

I rested my head against her door. I just needed to see her and to feel my baby. Slowly and without knocking, I pushed open the door and Camille opened her eyes and looked at me. She had been sleeping. She frowned as she stood up from the bed and looked at me. "Hey, are you okay?" she asked me and I nodded, slowly sitting down on her bed and looking over at her. I placed my hand on my stomach, hoping that I would find some comfort through this, through hearing my child's heartbeat but I hadn't. I felt nothing in her stomach and I couldn't hear anything, which got me even more disappointed. "It's okay. Maybe he will kick some other time." "He?" "I have a feeling that it is a boy." Camille whispered with a smile and I frowned at her with a smile on my face. "Okay, fine. Genevieve did a test and she told me it's a boy."

I couldn't believe that she was telling me this now. "You should have come to me right away. When did this happen? How did this happen? You are like a month old. How could she determine so quickly?" "Marcel, this is not just any other baby. It's a supernatural baby. You could determine it pretty easily as a witch. We're having a baby boy." "And Klaus is going to have a girl." I said with a smile on my face. But at least, I would be able to hold my child anytime I wanted while with the complications between him and Hayley… "Hey, what happened? Did you get what you wanted?" Camille asked and I nodded. "We each get our fair share." "That is not fair, you know? You shouldn't be forced to do this for them. Rebekah betrayed you and this is your town, not hers." "Sweetheart, I don't want to talk about Rebekah anymore. I feel like all this time we've been together, all we've done was talk about her. Why don't we talk about us and our baby boy for a change?"

"Marcel, the only reason that we've been talking about her is because she just never accepted that you could move on. You have moved on." Cami said and kissed me. I caressed her cheek and whispered, "Well, after what she pulled last night, it should prove to you that she is over me." "What about you? Are you over her?" "Are we really doing this again? Cami, we've been through this so many times." "And you never really answered my question fully." "Cami, look at me. I am not in love with Rebekah. I am in love with you and our child. That's how it is going to be from now on." "Are you sure that is what you want?" I felt a tug in my heart when I said, "Yes, I am sure. There will be no such thing as me and Rebekah. Not anymore."

Hayley's POV

That night, I was sitting on my bed, thinking when I heard a whoosh and my window was open. I turned around and gasped as I saw who was standing right there before me. "Klaus." I whispered and I was ready to call out to the witches but he stepped over and put his hand over my mouth. I tried to scream but I couldn't, so I banged on the wall hard, until he pulled my hands to my sides. "I am not here to hurt you, love. I just want to talk." He whispered to me. He pulled his hands away from me and at that moment, I heard a knock on my door. "Is everything alright in there, Ms. Hayley?" a witch asked me and I looked over at Klaus, trying to search through his eyes to see what his intentions were. "Everything is okay. Would you care to step away from the door please? I just need some time to myself." "Of course." The witch obeyed at once and Klaus smirked a little. "You already have them all wrapped around your finger, don't you, little wolf?" "Tell me what you want or I will call her back and I will have the witches and the werewolves pounce on you. It's your choice, Klaus." "What makes you think that I won't rip them all apart?" "You can't afford to do that." I smirked back at him.

The smirks on both of our faces have disappeared as we recalled the other night. "What do you want?" I asked this time in a whisper. "For you to tell me why you've done it. I just want an honest answer from you, Hayley. For once." "What do you mean for once? Since you know me, I have been nothing but honest with you." Klaus cackled up a laugh as he looked at me. "Going behind my back doesn't count as lying to me? It's much worse, little wolf." "The plan was all set. There was nothing I could do. There were too many people against you. We had no choice." "So you partnered up with my sister. That was your choice? After everything…" "Klaus, stop! I don't want to hear it! What's done is done!" I turned away from him but he grabbed my wrist and pulled me to him and then he pushes us both to the wall. I had no idea what he was planning on doing, but I was very scared for what would happen. My heartbeats were getting faster and he could feel. Still, that didn't stop him from getting closer to me as my eyes never left his. "I need to know if anything of it was real." He whispered in my face.

"I beg your pardon?" I asked and he sighed as he looked at me coldly and it made my heart freeze as well as my spine. "Tell me if any of the conversations or moments we have shared since Elijah left were real. Tell me the truth, little wolf. Was any of it real?" I didn't say anything. I didn't know how my answer could have an impact on our relationship. I opened my mouth but he cut me off. "Everything was all just an act wasn't it? Everything. From the crying…to the "I believe in you, Klaus"…to the passionate moments when…" I really wished that he didn't continue and he hadn't. I was glad as tears were already filling up in my eyes. "Was any of it real?" Klaus demanded and pushed me harder against the wall but he was being soft when he touched me. I nodded, truthfully. "Everything was real." I couldn't lie to him. Not now. I have hurt him too much but his reaction was not one that I expected. He pulled back with a growl. "You're lying." I was outraged. "I am not lying. You rarely open yourself up to people and you chose to open up to me." "EXACTLY!" "BUT I OPENED UP TO YOU TOO!" I covered my mouth as I could hear steps coming back to the door. There was another knock. "Ms. Hayley, I thought I heard you scream. Are you sure you're okay?" "Everything is fine, Sheila."

The witch left the room again which left me and Klaus at odds. He was looking at me confused and I was looking back at him with the same confusion. "We didn't get the chance to talk about my child." I sighed and looked down. Before, he used to say our child, now it was back to being his child. "You will get to see her when she's born. I cannot forbid you that. You are her father." "You are damn right. I am her father and I will see her when I see fit, do I make myself clear, little wolf?" he asked me in a menacing whisper. He wasn't looking into my eyes anymore. He turned to the window to leave but I put my hands on his shoulders to stop him. "Klaus, please…" I whispered to him and he looked back at me. "There is no social relationship between us anymore. The only reason you are living and breathing right now is because of my child that is nestled in your womb. After she is born, the only protection you will be offered is from what you gained which is your little army of witches and werewolves. I won't care anymore. If the vampires choose to go after you to kill the Werewolf Queen, I will let them have at it." My heart instantly broke when I heard him say that. I realized that whatever might have been between us was gone now. There was only hate when we looked into each other's eyes but the more hate was towards me from him. When I looked at him, I looked at him with sadness. Before I could say something else, he left and I crashed back into the bed with glistering tears rolling down my cheeks and I started sobbing out loud. I had never been this weak before and I couldn't stop. I couldn't breathe. Sheila came inside with a cup of tea to comfort me.

Rebekah's POV

I knew that I shouldn't have showed up. He would have probably just told me to take a hike or something but I had to speak to him. There were still some things that were unresolved between us and they had to be resolved. The people in the house were fast asleep. He opened the door groggily and I noticed that he wasn't wearing a shirt, revealing all of his muscles. His eyes widened when he saw me there. I kept a straight face and then so did he. "What are you doing here?" he asked in a whisper and I whispered back, "I want to talk to you." I was expecting him to send me away but he didn't. He turned around and let me enter his room. I did so and he closed the door after me. "Camille might come over. You shouldn't be here. We've already arranged everything. You are not to set foot on our land. I respect your space, you respect mine."

Rolling my eyes, I ran a hand through my hair and looked at him. "I wanted to let you know that what I did was nothing personal as you think. It was not because I was jealous. You always had that impression to make you feel better about our break-up. What happened was strictly business. We had a shot to take the entire city and run it properly and we took it." "And you never thought of the consequences? Sweetheart, it seems to me that you've lost more than you've gained. Take a look around. Klaus and I still own half the city and once we get ourselves together, we are going to take back your half as well, which rightfully belongs to us." "Is that what you think?" "Yes! It's exactly what I think! Do yourself a favor Rebekah and find a way to get out of this mess because once Klaus snaps, I won't be there to keep him from killing you. I did my best to hide the White Oak Stake in this house, to make sure he won't find it and put it to good use!" I rolled my eyes but I was surprised that he wasn't taking this as hard as Niklaus.

"So, I just came here to tell you what my intensions were. They were nothing personal and I hope that after some time passes and both you and Nik cool off, you will realize that you haven't been running this town properly and you will realize that Hayley and I were only trying to do the right thing and not go against you on purpose, I hope that we can go back to being friends or at least be able to collaborate maturely and lead this city the correct way." Marcel smirked and he stepped closer to me, whispering into my face. "If you think that there is any chance that you are going to continue to be my friend after what you've done, or if you think that Klaus is going to forgive you for this or even for Mikael, you are mistaken." Tears welled up into my eyes and I spat at him, "And the only reason I haven't told Nik that you were a apart of bringing Mikael back all these years ago was to protect you. Guess there's no need for that anymore." "I wonder who he's going to believe." "You are starting to sound just like Genevieve." "At least now I know why you hate her so much. She was holding the truth about you. She has been helping Klaus, Cami and I ever since she came. She belongs in our family. You and Hayley don't." "What about Davina? She's like your child." "No child of mine would be willing to go against me and this is the second time Davina has done it. You can all go to hell for all I care, Rebekah." Marcel moved to the door and opened it for me. "Get out now!"

I could barely see anymore as I stepped out. Tears were in my eyes at his harsh words and I was beginning to regret every single moment that I had spent planning all of this against him. He has never wanted to hurt me. He had always tried to protect me. I pushed back my tears as I walked onto Bourbon Street at night. Not a sound could be heard as New Orleans felt as if it were in darkness. I heard someone behind me and I immediately turned around. It was Niklaus! "Nik, what are you doing here?" I asked him, a bit shocked. He looked at me angrily and for the first time, I noticed what he was holding. It was a dagger. "No, Nik. Please don't do this. Hayley needs me…" I screamed and before I could yell out for help or even make a run for it, he had used his vampire speed and plunged the danger in me. I could feel my face crippling and my eyes slowly dropping closed. The last thing I saw was the deadly look on my brother's face.

A/N: Cliffhanger! Rebekah was daggered by Klaus…again. Very sad for her, I know, but it was already too much that Rebekah had plotted against him to take over New Orleans, but to find out that she had brought Mikael back was the straw that broke the camel's back for Klaus.

I just wanted to tell you that I am going to be a bit slow on writing since I have started school already and I have a lot to do, a lot to work on, I'm afraid. So, you will have to wait a while for me to update the next chapter of this but I think it will be worth it. There will be a time skip starting next chapter.

It while start with 5 months later after all of this had happened. It will be very exciting with the big mystery: Where is Rebekah? Hayley will get a message from her phone, saying that she is taking a vacation but Hayley is not buying it and you will find out a lot of things that have happened in these 5 months to Hayley ;)

Please review and tell me what you thought of this chapter. Klayley and Rebel are taking a turn, like enemies now, just fair to warn you. It's going to take a while before they even communicate properly to one another. Starting next chapter, things won't get all lovey dovey. It will be the other way around. Send me reviews please and let me know what you think.
