Hayley and Elijah drove in silence to the bayou. Elijah looked at her but she was gazing out of the window. Elijah puts one hand on her hand and squeezes it. Hayley turned towards him and smiled sadly.

They reached the bayou and got out of Elijah's car. Hayley saw Jackson walking towards them. He smiled at Hayley and hugged her. Then he held her hands and said "I am so sorry for your loss. Is there anything I can do for you?"

Hayley smiled sadly at Jackson and said "Promise me that you will help us take the Guerrera wolves down"

Jackson looked at her sad face and then nodded thinking about his alliance with Klaus. Hayley hugged him again. Elijah looked at them with narrowed eyes which didn't go unnoticed by Jackson. He gently detangled himself from her and stepped back.

Hayley looked at him for one last time and then left.

Back in the compound at last Klaus came out of his thoughts and said "So you want to meet Davina?"

When Stefan just looked at him, he said "l will give you her address because if she sees you with me she will not help you"

Klaus gave him the address of the witch yard and then went to his room without waiting for a response from him. He picked up a paint brush and started painting on an empty canvas. After one hour when he stood and looked at the painting. He was stunned to see that it was of a baby lying in the crib. He took it off the aisle with frustration and put it with the other painting in the corner of the room.

HE turned towards the door when he heard a sound. He looked up and saw Stefan standing there. "So what happened?" Klaus asked him lying down on his bed

"She said that she cannot do anything" Stefan said with frustration.

"Well may be you can find someone else to do it for you. I am sure you will find someone" Klaus said with his eyes fixed on the ceiling.

Stefan walked in his room and sat down on the sofa chair. Suddenly they heard voices so he got up and left his room. He was walking out of room when he bumped into Hayley who was going to her room. Hayley smiled at him and passed him. Stefan went down to the study and saw Elijah standing here looking out of the window.

"Elijah what happed? Did you guys get to do what you were doing?" Stefan asked him

"Yes Stefan. Thank you. Will you like to have a drink?" Elijah turned and asked him.

Stefan looked at his tired face and then nodded. Elijah poured him a drink and then handed it over to him and asked "How is Niklaus?"

Stefan looked at him and said "something is off about him. He seemed to be lost today. I was out in the afternoon so I don't know what he has been doing?" Stefan sipped his drink

"He is grieving" Elijah said

Stefan asked him "Grieving for what?" and then he joked "He is Klaus what can he grieve about?"

He took another sip and chocked on it when he heard Elijah low voiced response "Loss of his daughter"

Stefan slowly put the drink down and the image of "baby Mikaelsons" came in his mind.

"Hope?" Stefan asked almost in a whisper.

Elijah nodded rubbing his eyes. "She died a couple of hours after her birth a few days ago"

Stefan gasped and asked "but how can he have kids? He is a hybrid"

"It is his werewolf side which caused him to procreate" Elijah told him

"And Hayley?" Stefan asked him pointing upstairs

"The mother" Elijah said and then he got up and walked to the window and continued "The witches of New Orleans and the Guerrera werewolves wanted her death so they conspired against us and killed her after Hayley gave her birth. Niklaus couldn't stop anything. Hayley was killed with the baby's blood in her system and she came back as hybrid. Niklaus saw everything and I think it has been haunting him. I am afraid that he might go into his vicious mood and go on a killing spree in New Orleans"

Before Stefan could stop himself he said "and you blame him for wanting everyone dead?"

Elijah turned to him and said "No, I don't blame him I will not let him go blind by his revenge seeking behavior that innocents suffer his wrath".

"You are telling me all this so that I keep an eye on him" Stefan said

"Yes Stefan" Elijah turned towards him and said.

Stefan looked at him and after a couple of seconds he nodded and said "I will try to contain him but you know that Klaus cannot be contained. And on a personal note if he burns the city I wouldn't mind" he put his glass and went to his room.

Elijah sighed and then walked upstairs to his room. He stopped outside Hayley's room and then entered it. He saw her sleeping on her bed. He walked up to it and stood there for a while. Then he bend down and touched some strands of her hair and then left the room.

Klaus got up early next morning. From the silence in the house he knew that no one is up so he got up and quickly changed his clothes. He had an agenda in his mind so he left his room and was about to leave the house when he heard someone "going somewhere?"

He turned to Stefan and said "you are up early. I thought vampires sleep late into the day"

"You are a hybrid too. What are you doing up so early?" Stefan asked him

"I have some business to attend to and I prefer to do it before Elijah gets wind of it" Klaus said

"Want some company?" Stefan asked him

Klaus looked at him with suspicion and then laughed "Elijah told you to keep an eye on me right?"

When Stefan didn't say anything, he advanced to him and asked him aggressively "and did he tell you why I need to have an eye on me?"

Stefan looked into his eyes and realized how broken he was at the moment and then nodded. He said "I am s…"

"Don't you dare complete that sentence Stefan! She is gone and that is all and I couldn't do anything to stop any of it" Klaus growled and then turned and left the compound without looking back or realizing that Stefan has followed him.

He got into his car and took a breath to calm himself down when the passenger door opened and Stefan got in

"What are you doing here Stefan?" Klaus asked him "Don't you have a brother to resurrect?"

"Yes I have. Elena, Caroline are working on it. I thought I would find something in New Orleans. I am working on it but while I can't do anything about that, I can help you get your revenge. Can't I?" Stefan sat in his seat and said calmly.

Klaus looked at him for a while and then started his car. Stefan asked him after a quiet moment "So who are we killing today?"

Klaus laughed at that and said "Guerra wolves. Until they are finished, I will not kill Francesca and I need to kill her"

"Why?" Stefan asked

Klaus answered aggressively "She handed over Hayley to Genevieve, another witch, which led her to die and came back as a hybrid. She was murdered by the witches just after she gave birth to our daughter and I couldn't do anything to protect her"

He got lost in that terrible memory and didn't see Stefan flinch. He continued "and now I want revenge"

Stefan knew now is not the right time to talk to him so he kept quiet. Klaus stopped the car at Marcel's new place and got out. Stefan followed him looking around at the place. Klaus entered the warehouse and saw Marcel sitting with Josh. Josh suddenly got up from his chair and whooshed out. Stefan looked at that with amusement and looked at Klaus who shrugged and smirked.

"Marcel this is Stefan. Stefan, Marcel" Klaus introduced them and went on to the table to pour himself a drink.

He turned just in time to see Marcel and Stefan shook hands. "So Marcel I have come to find out about Francesca's hiding places seeing that you were the king of the French Quarter and what not"

Marcel flinched at that and unconsciously squeezed Stefan's hand just before letting him go which surprised Stefan and he picked on the hot issue lingering in the atmosphere. He smiled quietly and walked up to Klaus who gestured him to pour a drink for himself too.

"Francesca and her brothers normally hang out in her Palace Royale casino" Marcel told him.

"So what are we waiting for?" Klaus said. He put his glass down and was leaving with Stefan when Marcel said "I will come with you"

Klaus looked at him in surprise and then nodded.

They drove in silence to Palace Royale Casino which was not too crowded at this time of the day so they marched in. One of the guy on the near a slot machine Klaus recognized to be Francesca's brother. He whooshed to him and grabbed him by his neck and before the man could do anything Klaus had his fangs out and sunk into man's neck. He detangled him from the man and then punched into his chest and took out his heart. He turned towards Stefan and Marcel with a satisfied smirk on his face and realized that they were still rooted on the spot they were standing a couple of seconds ago.

Then they saw two men advancing towards them. Their fangs were out, their eyes were yellow. Klaus gestured Stefan and Marcel to take those men with a smirk on his face. He then turned and sat on the stool to see the fight.

Stefan took one step back to get himself ready for the fight and ducked when the man advancing towards him jumped at him. He turned and made a hole in the man's back and took out his heart and threw it on the ground. He looked at Klaus who was looking at him with proud expressions on his face and then he walked to him and sat down next to him while cleaning his hand on the counter top.

Marcel looked at the man advancing towards him and turned. His fangs were out. He jumped at the man before he could go anything. They both fell on the ground with the man under Marcel. Marcel punched him on his face and then got up.

"What is he doing?" Stefan asked Klaus

Klaus smirked and said "he wants to prolong the fight. He is enjoying himself"

He leaned back against the bar and looked at Marcel without actually looking at him. He mind got lost again with the image of his child in his arms and the promise he had made to her.

Marcel stood back and gave the man a chance to get up. The man jumped onto his feet and glared at Marcel and then pounced at him. Marcel raised his hand and threw him to one side and laughed. He then walked to him and picked him up by grabbing him from his neck and threw them on some machines. Marcel waited until the man was back on his feet and as he attacked Marcel again he outstretched his hand and pulled out his heart and threw it on the ground. He turned to Klaus and saw that he is lost somewhere.

Stefan could feel that Klaus was not with them from the lack of reaction at the end of the fight. He looked at Marcel who had a satisfied expression on his face. Marcel bent down and cleaned his bloody hands with the clothes of the werewolf he had just killed and smiled at Stefan. He said to him casually "Okay good start of the day. I am all hyped up now. Let us go and celebrate by drinking"

Stefan patted Klaus on his shoulder bringing him back to present.

Klaus looked up and saw that Marcel had killed the last man too. He got up and went to them and took off their rings and left the casino while Stefan and Marcel followed him.
