Klaus entered the compound and without looking at anything he went straight to his room. He fell down on his bed without changing his clothes. He was still confused about what had happened with Cami. Cami was and will always be his friend and he didn't want to make the situation complicated. He at last fell asleep.

When he woke up next time it was already midday so he got up, changed his clothes and went to the study. As he entered he stopped seeing Elijah and Hayley in lip lock situation. He felt as if someone had punched in his stomach. He knew that Elijah was falling for Hayley but he had no idea that they were already involved. He turned and left the room without them realizing that he had witnessed them.

He started pacing in the court yard. The image was not leaving his mind so he left the compound. He went to Rousseau's and asked for a drink. Cami was not in the bar. After a couple of glasses he decided to get up and do something.

He was walking down the street to his car when he saw Francesca. Seeing her reminded Klaus of her deception so he whooshed to her. Francesca smirked at him. One of her brother stepped up and tried to stop Klaus. Klaus shifted his gaze from Francesca to him and smiled coldly. He then jabbed the man in his chest with the speed of the light and took his heart out. He showed the heart covered in the blood to Francesca who was just staring at him with open mouth and dropped it. He then grabbed her from her neck and said in clenched teeth "You are the reason I lost my daughter and Hayley is a hybrid. I will not kill you until I have killed all your loved ones" He then lets her go by pushing her away from him. He bent down and cleaned his hands with the death wolf's clothes and walked away.

Hayley and Elijah were sitting in the study when suddenly Hayley asked Elijah "Where is Klaus? I have not seen him for two days"

Elijah looked at her in surprise and said "I have no idea. I have checked him everywhere. His cell phone is in his room"

"Oh I didn't realize that you guys were worried about me" Klaus said leaning against the study door. He smirked when he saw both of them jump up.

"Where have you been brother?" Elijah asked him.

Klaus noticed Hayley looking at him. He looked at Elijah and said "drinking"

"You were drinking when you should be doing something about …" Elijah angrily asked him

"About what Elijah?" Klaus asked angrily "kill the witches, they are already dead so what should I do?"

When Elijah is quiet he asked him again "Tell me" but when Elijah is still quiet he went to the table and pour himself a glass of scotch.

HE then turned towards both of them and gulped it down and asked "What have you two been doing?" and then gulped the drink down.

Elijah looked at Hayley who is eyeing Klaus angrily and then out of blue she yelled at him "we were not doing anything but at least we were not drinking trying to ignore the situation"

"Yes love, I can see that" Klaus looked at her for a second and then said sarcastically and then added in a much calmer voice. "It seems that you are coping well with your transition and all. Thanks to Elijah" Klaus lifted a glass in toast to Elijah.

Elijah narrowed his eyes and looked at his brother. He could see that his brother is hurting and he was trying to hide his feelings by being cruel. He then turned to Hayley who was clenching her fist and said "Hayley calm down. I think we need to sit down and chalk out our plan to take down our enemies"

Klaus and Hayley were glaring each other and then Klaus turned away and sat down on the couch.

Looking at Hayley reminded Klaus of his failure in protecting her. 'Will I ever get over it?' Klaus thought.

Hayley took a deep breath and thought 'will he ever help me bring our daughter back?' and sat next to Elijah on the couch which brought a sarcastic smile on Klaus's lips. Hayley ignored it whereas Elijah didn't notice it.

"So I have been thinking about taking the Guerrera wolves down and for that we need alliance with someone. We can take them out but I am not sure how many are there and what are their new powers like" Elijah said to them.

He turned to Hayley and said "I think Jackson can be our ally. Do you think that you can persuade him to be our partner?"

Klaus hid his smile in his glass and waited for Hayley's reply "yes, I will talk to him"

Hayley looked at her empty hands and then got up after a couple of minutes of silences and said "I will be back in a minute"

Klaus looked at Elijah and then after a second's thought he got up and went to her in his vamp speed and said "Hayley, I will get her back. I promise"

He then turned without listening to anything she had to say and left the compound.

Klaus went to Jackson and told him not to tell anyone of their alliance deal not even Elijah. He then went to Carry and told him the same thing. After the incidences of past couple of weeks he was going to keep everything close to his chest. He was feeling really stupid about trusting every one about his plans and look what it had done to him and everyone he had started to care about.

Klaus entered the compound and brushed past Hayley who was coming down the stairs into his room. He picked up his brush and started to paint on a blank canvas. After half an hour of painting, a picture had started to appear on the blank canvas, a women sitting on a rocking chair with a baby in her arm. He stopped when he realized what he is making. He put the brush down and stepped back stunned at Hayley and his daughter's painting. He took the canvas off and put it in the corner of his room facing the wall. He then turned and sat on the sofa chair and picked up the book on his bed side table. He was unable to get into it so he left the compound and went to the Rouseau's. Cami was serving drinks. She smiled at him and asked him what he wanted to drink.

Klaus said "stotch"

"Make that double" a voice sounded from the door.

Klaus turned towards the voice and got up. In his wildest imagination he had not thought about seeing him here. He walked up to Stefan Salvatore and put his hand on his shoulder and led him to the bar stool. Cami put the drinks in front of them and smiled at Stefan.

"So what brings you here Stefan… to New Orleans?" Klaus gulped his drink down and asked him.

Stefan looked at Klaus. There is something different about him. Stefan picks up his drink and sips it and scans the room "brings back old memories"

"When was it?" Klaus asked him without looking up from his drink

"In 1942. Damon" he gulped his drink down "sired a girl here and he didn't realize it" He laughed at the memory "and then a couple of years ago when we suspected that Elena is sired to him we came here to check out and it turned out that the girl was still counting the bricks of New Orleans as Damon had told her to do in 1942"

That brought up a smile on Klaus's face and he looked at Stefan. Stefan laughed too but he realized that the smile has not reached Klaus's eyes.

"Where is your diabolical brother then?" Klaus lifted his glass in toast to Stefan

Stefan kept quiet for a while and then said looking down at his glass and gulping it "He is gone. He is gone with Bonnie when other side went away"

Klaus looked at his expressions and then realized that Stefan is not joking. He put his hand on his shoulder and said "I am sorry for your loss. I know how much you cared about your brother" then he raised his glass again and said "To our losses"

Stefan gulped his drink down and asked him "Our losses? What have you lost?"

Cami came in and asked Stefan "Do you want any more?"

Before Stefan could say anything Klaus moved his glass a bit so that Cami can pour drink in his glass but Cami said "You have had enough for today. Go home Klaus"

Stefan looked at her with an amused expressions and out of blue an image of a girl with long blond hair came into his mind who would stop him from drinking a lot too. He looked up and realized that Klaus has gotten up. "Where are you staying?" Klaus asked him

"Nowhere. I just got here" Stefan said

"Come to my house then" Klaus said and walked to the door but staggered. Stefan quickly held him by his arm before Cami could do anything

Klaus looked over his shoulder towards Cami and said "I am okay Love" he pried his arm from Stefan's grip and left.

Stefan looked at Cami who was staring at Klaus and then shrugged. He followed him to his car and soon they were driving towards the compound.

It was a wonder to Stefan that Klaus could drive the car seeing how drunk he was. He got out of the car when it stopped. Stefan looked up at his compound and walked in with him. He looked around the court yard and his eyes fell on the big M on the wall, they traveled to the balconies, the big court yard and then turned to the voice

"Where have you…"

Hayley stopped when he saw Stefan standing there.

Stefan looked at Klaus and then Hayley and then back at Klaus questioningly "Stefan you remember Hayley right? Hayley you remember Stefan right? Stefan is here for a few days"

Hayley nodded at Stefan who pursed his lips and nodded and wondered what is she doing here but then Elijah came out and stopped when he looked at Stefan.

Elijah looked at Klaus and realized that he is drunk. He sighed and then walked to Stefan and said "welcome to New Orleans Stefan. Where is Damon?"

Stefan looked at Klaus who shrugged and then at Elijah. Elijah raised his eyebrows and said "I am so sorry to hear about it. What happened?"

"The other side brother. It is gone" Klaus said and sat on the chair in the court yard. "That means that our father is also gone. Cheers"

"What is wrong with you?" Hayley snapped at him

"I am drunk love" Klaus said "did you guys have a good time when I was gone?"

Hayley angrily lunged at him but Elijah held her back. Klaus laughed and looked at Stefan who was looking at them with confusion and said "welcome to complications"

Before Hayley knew her fangs are out and veins appear under her eyes. Elijah still had her arm in his hand. Klaus looked at the change and stood up slowly. Whereas Stefan looked at her in shock. "Good job little wolf, you are learning to adapt to your new form" Klaus said to her very softly and then smiled at her and left.

Hayley growled at him but then calmed down and went back to her normal form. She pried herself from Elijah and went upstairs to her room.

Elijah sighed and rubbed his hand at the back of his neck and turned to Stefan who was looking at everything with shocked expression.

Stefan looked at him and asked "When did she…."

"A couple of days ago" Elijah said with a sigh and then added "I presume that you are going to be living with us. Let me show you your quarters"

Stefan looked at him and realized that Elijah was looking tired. HE nodded and followed Elijah as he was walking towards the stairs.
