Klaus entered the compound and goes into the sitting room and stops in track as he see Elijah hugging Hayley. He cleared his throat and then walked to the mini bar to pour himself a drink. Elijah and Hayley parted jerkily and looked at him. She walked to him and asks him "Has Rebekah taken her?"

"Yes love she is gone. She will be safe now that she is far away from here" Klaus told her and then leaves them alone.

Hayley turned towards Elijah and held his hands and asked him "Do you think Rebekah will keep her safe? Seeing how she hates Klaus right now"

Elijah freed one of his hand and touched her cheek and said "whatever difference Rebekah has with Niklaus she will protect your baby dearly"

Hayley's mind registered to what Elijah has said "your baby" but she ignored it.

Hayley then said to Elijah "I am tired I think I will like to go and lie down for a while".

"Hayley" Elijah called her. He walked to her and said "I don't want you to be alone tonight"

Hayley looked at him and then nodded and outstretched her hand for him to hold.

Klaus spent the night pacing in his room thinking about how to clean up their mess. He wanted to just kill everyone but he needed a strategy to do that. Francesca and her brothers were if not equal then near equal to his strength with their hybrid like abilities. In the witches department only Davina was left alive as far as he knew. He knew crescent wolves and his own clan would be angry with him for ruining their plan. He wanted to just leave everything behind and go to Rebekah to his daughter but he had promised her that he would bring her back to him and to her mother and he was going to keep that promise. He could not take out the guilt in his heart for not saving her and for not saving her mother. The image of Monique cutting Hayley's throat kept on haunting him. He had been unable to look into her eyes ever since. He was supposed to protect her but he failed. He failed everyone. Elijah's words in the cemetery were going through his mind as if a tape is put on a replay mode.

Klaus got tired of pacing after a while and went to sleep.

He got up early in the morning and went out to meet Marcel before everyone got up.

Marcel was not up when Klaus reached his new place so Klaus sat down on an empty chair in his court yard of his new compound. Soon he got lost in his thoughts. He thought about Hope and how tiny she was in his arms and how much he loved her. He had to keep that love alive in him so as to know what he was fighting for. For her he was willing to do anything. He had never thought that there will be someone in his life for whom he would sacrifice even himself but for Hope he was willing to do that. He startled from his thoughts when he heard Marcel asking him "Klaus what are you doing here?"

"I came to ask you to join forces with me to take down Francesca and her brothers"

"Klaus my friend, I know you are grieving but …."Marcel was saying when Klaus suddenly grabbed him from his neck and said "will you stand with me Marcel or not?"

Marcel looked into his murderous eyes and said "yes I will but what about Elijah. He does not like me and you know that."

"Elijah, I can handle him" Klaus smirked and left Marcel standing there.

He then went to the bayou to meet Jackson and form alliance with him. He saw Jackson sitting outside his hut. He went to him and told him a authoritatively"Jackson you will help me take down Francesca and her brothers"

Jackson looked up at him and asked "why would I do that? Your last plan failed so how can I be sure that this plan will not fail too?"

Klaus looked at him angrily for a couple of seconds and then he grabbed him by his neck with his hybrid agility that Jackson had no time to react. He looked into Jackson's eyes "You will help me if you don't want me to kill your pack Jackson".

He then pushed him on the ground and turned but then stopped and said cruelly "Just so that you know that your precious Hayley is a hybrid now because of Francesca's games and our daughter is dead"

Jackson got up massaging his neck and said in shocked voice "You are lying"

"Am I?" Klaus smirked and said sarcastically. He then turned to him "Go and ask Oliver than. He saw her body. Francesca's brother killed her"

Seeing the shock and disgust on his face gave some form of satisfaction to Klaus. He turned and left the bayou without waiting for an answer from him.

After getting into his car he sat there for a couple of minutes to catch his breath. Then he drove to the other side of bayou to talk to Carry. He got out of car and saw a couple of kids playing in the bayou. Looking at them suddenly reminded him of a small baby whom he had to send away so he ignored them and walked into the bayou. He yelled "Carry". A lot of women, children and men turned to look at him but after recognizing him they went on to do their tasks. After a couple of minutes he saw Carry coming to him.

"Klaus what happened?" Carry asked him

"What happened was that our plan failed. Francesca Correa turned out to be Guerrera wolves and they have taken our stones and now they are what we wanted to be. So now I am going to take them down"

Carry looked at his angry face and asked him "Do you think it is a good idea to start a fight with them when you child is just born?"

"My child died Carry. They killed her and now I am going to kill all of them" Klaus said coldly. Then he added ignoring Carry stunned expression "Will you join me or will I have to kill you too?"

"I will talk to them" He looked at the member of his pack "but I don't think that we should have an issue"

Klaus turned and walked towards home without waiting for a reply.

He stopped the car near Rousseau's. He got out and went inside. He saw Cami at the counter. He went to the counter and asked for a scotch. Cami turned to his voice and tried to smile but the smile didn't appear on Klaus's or Cami's face. She poured him the drink and turned but Klaus held her hand holding the bottle and took it from her. He started drinking straight from the bottle.

After half an hour of serving her customers Cami came to stand next to him and told him "I think you have had enough"

She gently took the bottle out of his hand which he noticed vaguely and said "I think you should go. Should I call Elijah because you cannot drive in this condition and I cannot leave right now?"

"I am fine Cami" Klaus said to her in a till slurry voice.

Cami sighed and looked at her wrist watch and after noticing that she had 15 more minutes left for her shift she decided to leave a bit early. She turned to her coworker Carly and said "Carly I am taking off a bit early, Can you lock up behind yourself"

She grabbed her purse and grabbed his arm and led him out of the bar. They got into his car with Cami in the driving seat and as she started the car she felt him fall on her shoulder and murmur "I don't want to go to compound. Can we go to your apartment?"

Cami looked at him sideways and realized that he is totally wasted. She hurt for him so she decided to take him to her apartment.

She half carried him up and after getting into her bed room she slumped him on the bed. Klaus fell on the bed and lost himself. He was gone within seconds, not even stirred when she took off his shoes and covered him by a blanket.

When he woke up next he saw her sleeping next to him. He got up alarmed and quickly got out of there without waking her up.

He got into his car trying to remember what happened last night but everything was so hazy now. He went to the compound.


18 hours ago:

Hayley woke up with a realization that someone is holding her from the back. The sunlight was coming into her room and from the clock on the wall she realized that they have slept through half the day. She turned around and sighed with relief when she realized that it was Elijah. Her movement caused him to stir and he opened his eyes.

As his gaze fell on her, he smiled. He then leaned in and kissed her slightly on her lips. Hayley kissed him back and stayed there for a bit and then she parted himself from him. She got out of bed and went to change her clothes. When she came out Elijah had gone from her room. She walked to the nursery and stood at the door for a couple of minutes looking inside and not daring to enter it. She then turned and walked out of the room.

She went down and sensed that the house is empty. Suddenly out of blue she thought about Klaus and wondered where he is? She had not seen him since yesterday. She was brought back from her thoughts by Elijah who asked her "I think you should drink some more"

He handed her a glass full of blood. Hayley looked at him and then at the glass and took it from him because she was feeling very hungry and the smell of the blood was very tempting to her. While she drank the blood, Elijah looked at her curiously. After she drank the glass, she handed him the empty glass.

"Now tell me how are you feeling?" Elijah asked her

"I am fine Elijah. We will find a way to bring her back" Hayley said to him.

"Yes we will" Elijah said. "I will do all in my power to bring your daughter back but first you need to adapt to your new abilities. I am a vampire so I can help you with the vampire abilities that a hybrid can have like listening, speed, sense of smell but other than I cannot help you. For that you will have to go to Niklaus. Speaking of which I will go and check him now"

Elijah walked into his room but he was not in there. He looked around trying to gauge the situation and then came down. "He is not in his room" Elijah said to Hayley

"May be he already gone to do something" Hayley said casually

Elijah looked at her in alarm. He knew that his brother is in a really vindictive mood right now and rightly so but when he is in that mood a lot of innocent lives face the consequence. He started pacing the room and then stopped. He looked at her and saw that she had her hands on her stomach and was staring in the empty space. He walked to her and sat next to her "Hayley" He called her but she was lost deep in thoughts so he shook her a little and said a little louder "hayley"

Hayley snapped out of her trance and said "Oh sorry, I don't know what I was thinking"

"So what is our plan about cleaning our mess?" Hayley asked him "and where is Klaus? He is supposed to be with us cleaning this mess right?"

Elijah looked at her with thoughtful expressions and took out his cell to call him. HE called Klaus and they heard his cell ringing. Both of them looked at each other and then walked up to where the sound was coming from. The cell was in his room. Elijah picked up his cell and looked at Hayley. Elijah knew his brother better than Hayley so he thought that he might be up to something that he shouldn't be.

He brushed past Hayley and walked out "Where are you going?" Hayley asked

"Going to check on Niklaus and making sure that he is not doing anything that he is not supposed to"

Elijah went to Rousseau's but he didn't find him there so he went back to the compound. That was the only place that Elijah could think of for Klaus to go in this state.

Hayley went to her room and laid down on the bed waiting for him to come back. She closed her eyes and suddenly a vague image into his mind.

Someone is cradling some one in his lap. She walked in and sees a girl lying in a man's arm. She tries to look at the man's face but she cannot but from the shaking of his body she can see that he is crying and then she sees the girl on his lap. It is her and her throat is slit"

She screamed and got up.

She went to the nursery, stood there just staring into the empty nursery. She didn't realize how long she stood there and then startled at the sound behind her. She turned and saw Elijah standing there. From the dark outside she realized that it is already night. 'How the day has gone by?' she thought

Elijah walked in her room and stood next to her leaning against the nursery door. He looked the empty crib and the chair and the toys and the chandelier and the window. It was just a couple of days ago that she had kissed him for the first time. He turned towards her and leaned in and kissed her on her lips. Hayley hesitated at first and then let go. She kissed him back and after a couple of seconds she parted with him. She touched her lips and then allowed herself to be engulfed in his open arms.

"I am really tired. I think I will like to sleep" Hayley said

"Okay" Elijah removed some hair strands from her face and asked "Do you want me to stay?"

"Yes" Hayley looked and him and said shyly.

Hayley got under the cover with Elijah next to her. He held her from her back. Hayley shivered at his touch and then turned towards him. She was so close to him that their lips were almost touching and then out of blue she pulled back and closed her eyes. She didn't know that she was crying until Elijah wiped her cheeks.

"Shhh. Go to sleep everything will be okay. Go to sleep" He said t her

Hayley kept her eyes closed and in no time she was asleep.

When she woke up he was still next to her. Hayley gently touched his hair which woke him up. He lifted himself up on his elbow and give her a smile. He got out of the bed and brushed the creases on his suit in which he had slept in and then with smile he left her room.
