Klaus, Marcel and Stefan were sitting drinking in the Rousseau's when Klaus sensed her. He turned and saw Hayley entering the bar with Elijah holding her arm. Hayley's eyes scanned the bar and then spotted him. She unconsciously freed herself from Elijah and walked towards him

"You are in trouble" Marcel said under his lip while sipping his drink.

Stefan smiled. He was really feeling relaxed after the incidence of the two weeks ago. He still had that mission in his mind but right now he was focused on helping Klaus. 'How long can it take to take a couple of wolves down' he thought

"Klaus" Hayley yelled at him

"Hello love" he picked up his glass but Hayley angrily took it out of his hand and threw it on the wall. Everything suddenly went quiet in the bar. Klaus got up angrily and faced her and looked into yellow eyes. She did not know when but he had turned. She grabbed him from his shirt front and pushed him against the table

"Hayley" Elijah called her in utter shock

"You stay out of it Elijah. This is between him and me and if anyone came between us I will kill them" she turned and yelled at Elijah showing him her fangs.

Cami assessed the situation and said to all her customer "Go, leave"

Elijah turned quickly and said in a loud voice "stop" he walked to the front of the bar and said "You will forget everything you saw in here"

For a second everyone looked dazed and then as if they have come out of their trance. They started talking to each other without giving a second glance at Klaus or Hayley who still was holding him from his shirt front. And then the bar started getting empty

Klaus laughed at Hayley and said "Relax love. You have to be slow with me… not too aggressive"

Hayley growled at him and pushed him hard against the table which broke with the strength with which she had thrown him and then she kneeled over him and hissed "You were supposed to bring her back remember. What have you done except for drinking with your buddies here ever since?"

Klaus looked into her eyes and saw the extreme sadness even in those yellow eyes and said "Hayley…"

"No, I don't want to listen to anything you have to say. You promised me when we were going to give her away" She said, her voice breaking

He felt her grip loosening and his stomach tightening. He reached out absently and touched her cheek. At his touch Hayley startled and looked up into his eyes again and then she got up and left the bar without looking at anyone.

Klaus stayed there for a couple of seconds with hands on his forehead and then he got up and left the bar too aggressively brushing Elijah aside when he tried to stop him.

"What is going on?" Marcel asked stunned Elijah and then turned to Stefan who just shrugged.

Elijah looked at Marcel in anger and said "Niklaus is being Niklaus. He needs to step up and solve the problem but he is drinking and all being merry and doing nothing"

"But…" Marcel started but then he stopped because apparently Elijah had no idea that his little brother is on his own mission.

Marcel looked at Cami who was speechless throughout the scene and then he looked at Stefan who just pursed his lips and shrugged. He then walked out of the bar.

Elijah looked at Stefan and asked him "Where have you guys been since morning?"

Stefan was about to say something when he notice a woman in grey suit entering the bar. Cami gasped. Elijah turned and saw Francesca Correa standing there smiling.

"I am impressed Mr. Mikaelsons you have managed to take out four of my guys in just two days very impressive" she then got serious and said "But the fun time is over now. If anyone of my brothers are attacked again. I will retaliate in ways that you don't want to know"

Elijah is so surprised at her words that he is lost for words. Before he can say anything she turned and left. Elijah turned to Stefan who shrugged and started to leave the bar. Elijah held him by his arm and asked "Is my brother behind this?"

"Why don't you ask him yourself?" Stefan said with annoyance.

He pried his arm free and then left. Elijah stood there thinking 'have I misjudged my brother again?'

He then left for the compound.

Meanwhile Klaus got out of the bar and then looked around but he couldn't see Hayley anywhere. He wanted to follow her but he didn't trust his feelings right now. He knew that Elijah will eventually go after her so he went to the bayou to meet Jackson.

Jackson walked towards him and said "Hayley and Elijah were here and they wanted my alliance. Why don't you want them to know about our deal?"

"Because I have my reasons Jackson" Klaus said harshly and then he added "I need to find out how many of Francesca Correa's people have the ring's abilities. Can you do that for me?"

Jackson looked at him and then nodded. Klaus turned and went to the compound. The court yard was empty so he went to his room.

He picked up his paint brush and started to brush on an empty canvas. He didn't realize what he was painting until he stared at the face of three wolves. By the look of it two were big and one was a baby wolf. He got so frustrated that he threw his brush in the cup and went to lie on his bed.

As he laid on his bed he heard her crying. He wanted to go to her but he didn't. He laid there and listen to her crying softly and then he couldn't take it. He got up from his bed and took a few steps to go to her room when he heard him

"Hayley, you need to stop crying" Elijah was saying to him.

Klaus came back and sat on his bed again

"What are we going to do? He is such an ass. We need to be together for us to get her back" Hayley said to Elijah

"I know Hayley but I think …" Elijah said to her and then there was silence. Klaus could hear them kissing. He tried to block his ears but it seemed as if the sounds were making holes into every barrier he put there to penetrate into his mind.

"Elijah I… can you…" he heard Hayley say. He suddenly jumped up from her bed and whooshed out of compound. Once outside he took a breath of relief and stood there for a second to catch his breath which he had not realized was caught somewhere.

He sat in his car and drove ideally in the city. At last he got tired of all that driving, he stopped on Bourbon Street and after parking his car he went into a music club 'Bourbon street music club'.

He sat in a dark corner listening to jazz when he sensed someone. He turned and saw Oliver sitting a couple of seat away. He got up quickly and went to Oliver and sat next to him. Oliver was so absorbed in the music that he didn't realize that someone is sitting with him. He got startled when he heard his whisper "so this is what you do after killing an innocent child?"

Oliver spun around and on seeing Klaus he started to get up but Klaus pulled him back by grabbing him from his neck. "Not so quick. I want to know how many of Francesca's men have the ring including you and her"

Oliver tried to free himself but Klaus's grip was really strong so he said "10 as far as I know"

"And how many stones did she have?" Klaus asked through clenched teeth

"Twelve" Oliver said in pained voice

"Good. Was that so difficult?" Klaus said with satisfied voice and then leaned in and said in his ear in a whisper "You and her will be the last Oliver"

Oliver looked at him but he was gone.

He entered the compound hoping that everything had settled down. He went into the study gingerly hoping that he didn't have to face any awkward situations. Elijah was standing near the window looking out.

Elijah sensed him. He said without turning towards him "You are back brother. How many died today?"

Klaus looked at his back and then laughed "Noble Elijah worried about me going off the wagon". He walked to the table and pour himself a drink but before he could lift it Elijah was holding him by his neck and hissed "You…"

"Elijah. Is he back?" They both turned to the door where Hayley was standing with Stefan. Both of them looked stunned and alarmed at the scene inside

"What is going on here?" Hayley asked in confusion.

Elijah let go of Klaus who laughed and picked up his drink and sipped it as if nothing has happened.

"Ask him?" Elijah pointed at Klaus and said angrily

Hayley looked at Klaus who was looking at her with insolence and then she turned to Elijah and said "No, you tell me what has happened?"

"It seems that my brother has been on a mission I don't know since when" Elijah snapped. Hayley gaped at him and then looked at Klaus who raised his glass and smirked at her "he had killed Francesca's four men and four innocents just in the last week"

"No those were me" Hayley said

"And I have killed 6 of them not four" Klaus sipped his drink and said smugly

"What do you mean those were you?" Elijah looked at her not exactly listening to Klaus but Stefan had his eyes on Klaus who had his glass half way to his lip. He was looking at Hayley in stunned expressions.

Even if Elijah didn't know what she was talking about but Klaus did. Hayley said carelessly "Those four so called innocents attacked me so I killed them". She then walked over to Klaus and took the glass from his hand and gulped it down.

Stefan looked at the trio with amusement. Their expressions were hilarious from where he was standing. Elijah was stunned, Klaus had amusement on his face now where as Hayley was totally oblivious of the impact her words had left on the two 1000 year's old vampires.

"Well done little wolf" Klaus recovered first and said. "Will you be kind enough to tell us when did you do that?" Klaus asked her with a smirk on his face.

"A couple of nights ago when I couldn't sleep" Hayley said casually. Klaus laughed whereas Elijah stared at him and then turned to Hayley and said "how could you?"

"How could I Elijah? You know what after killing them I slept like a baby. I have not felt that good ever since I killed that bitch Genevieve. Sorry Klaus I killed you bed buddy" Hayley shouted at both of them and then left the room leaving Klaus laughing and Elijah just stunned.

Klaus got up laughing and then left the study patting Stefan on his shoulder.

He fell on his bed as soon as he got inside his room. He spun to the door when it banged open and got up when he saw Hayley standing there. "What love?" Klaus asked her raising himself on one of his elbows

"Next time you go out on one of your missions, take me with you" she said and then left without waiting for a reply from him.

"Okay love" Klaus said almost to himself and then fell back on his bed and in no time he fell asleep.

Hayley got into her room. She closed the door and stood there with her back against the door and tried to catch her breath. She had just come back after shouting at him. She went to the bathroom and after stripping to her shorts and sports bra she laid down on her bed and wend to sleep.
