Hayley slept restlessly at night. She was having nightmares about

Mikael trying to kill her when she was carrying Hope. He had his arm around her neck when suddenly she saw someone bending on a girl lying on a table at a distance. She could make out that it was a man and his wrist was slit. The only thing colored in the whole picture was the red blood dripping from his wrist. She tried to look into his face but it was really hazy. She saw his red blood drops falling into the unconscious girl and felt his warm blood on her own lips too and felt her having energy. She elbowed Mikael and stood back and saw the man still trying to approach that girl but there are some hurdles on the way. She looked closely at the girl and gasped because it was her. The she heard "will the baby survive if it is delivered now. I will rip it out of her myself". The hurdle stopped him from getting to her. She shifted and tried to look into his face but it was plain as an empty canvas. "I wouldn't lose that baby" he was saying. Hearing that made her come to her senses and she spun on her spot and jabbed into Mikael's heart and woke up screaming.

"Hayley are you okay?" Elijah entered her room in a sprint and went to her when he saw her sitting upright and covered in sweat.

Hayley looked at Elijah and said "Yes I think I was having a nightmare". She got out of her bed and went to bathroom to wash her face. She came back after a couple of minutes and saw him still standing in her room.

Hayley went to her bed and sat on it "How long have you been having these nightmares Hayley?" Elijah asked curiously.

She just looked at him without answering. She scooted up on her bed and hugged her knees. Elijah came and sat with her and said gently "I think it is quite normal to have such dreams after what you have been through"

"You mean Hope?" Hayley asked him softly. Her chin was on her knees.

"Everything that happened at Hope's birth and now all this revenge and killing you have been involved in" Elijah said thoughtfully.

Hayley felt as if someone had thrown cold water on her. She slowly lifted her head and looked at him but he was lost in his thoughts.

"Elijah I am tired. Can you please leave so that I can sleep" Hayley said to him a little stiffly.

Elijah turned to her and looked at her in surprise. He was stunned to hear how cold she just had gotten but he got up and leaned in kissed her but Hayley leaned back which left him more stunned. He looked into her eyes but she just kept on glaring at him coldly. He quietly turned and left her room.

Hayley got under the bed cover and then she went to sleep. Next time when her eyes opened it was morning. The clock on her room told her that it was already 11 am. She got up and hastily dressed up and hurried down stairs. She didn't want to miss anything Klaus was planning to do to take Francesca down. She looked around and went into the study but it was empty. She came out and took out her cell. She called him

Klaus was with Stefan going to Davina. They both had decided to face her together now. Now that he knew that his father was back it was time that he faced him. He got a call on his cell. He looked at her name on the caller Id and pressed ignore button. Stefan looked at him sideways and asked "why are you ignoring her? I have never seen you ignore anyone before."

Klaus didn't answer and got out of the car. They walked into the church and went upstairs to talk to Davina. Klaus could sense her there. He stopped outside the attic where 7 months ago Davina was trapped, where he had killed Father Kieran and now his father was in that attic. He opened the door and stopped in track when he saw him standing in the middle of the room with Davina.

Mikael turned and looked at him and lunged at him but something stopped him at the door way. Mikael looked at Klaus's stunned expressions and said "your days are numbered Niklaus. Once I get out of here this time I will kill you"

Klaus felt his heart racing really fast which normally happened in his father's company. Seeing him always immobilized him so he was surprised when he said "No, I will kill you again" then he turned to Davina and said "you stupid witch, you have no idea what you have done. I should have killed you with Tim"

Davina walked to him angrily and raised her hand. Klaus yelled and held his temples. Stefan quickly held his arm and pulled him back. He had gauged that whatever was happening to him was because of the spell that Davina was doing. Davina walked past the boundary and stood next to him. Klaus knees had buckled and was kneeling on the ground with his head in his hands and he groaned. Davina said "Next time you threaten me I will not stop until your blood boils over". She turned, waved her hand which caused the door of the attic to shut with a bang and then she went down. As she left the church the effect of the spell started to wore off and his cell rang. He got up on his feet and took out the cell. It was Hayley. He hit the ignore button and looked at Stefan and said "so your case is totally screwed now" then he thought for a moment and said "You can go back Stefan. Davina will not help you"

Stefan walked up to him and leaned against the railing and said "I am thinking that I will stay for a couple of more days. Caroline and Elena are looking for something in mystic Falls. I will keep on looking for something over here"

Klaus looked at Stefan and asked him "don't you want to find Damon Stefan?"

"I do but I don't think I will be able to do anything in Mystic Fall. Davina seems capable of what I want from her so I will stay here until I persuade her to do what I want from her" Stefan said.

"Okay then. Lets go back to the compound and see what Elijah has done with wolves" Klaus said.

"Tell me about her Klaus" Stefan asked him while they were driving to the compound.

Klaus's grip on the steering wheel tightened and he said after a while "what is there to tell Stefan. They killed her within minutes of her birth. She came back as a hybrid because she had died with the baby's blood in her system"

Stefan smiled and said "I was asking about Hope"

Klaus glared at him and then turned to the road again and didn't say anything.

They entered the compound. Stefan looked up when he saw Hayley zoomed in front of Klaus and asked him "Where were you and why weren't you picking up my phone?"

"I didn't hear it" Klaus said distractedly

Before he could do anything Hayley had taken out the phone from his jean's pocket and was going through his missed calls and showed it to him and shouted at him "You didn't hear it or you ignored it!"

Stefan smiled and sat on the chair. He had not his much fun for a while now and he was thoroughly enjoying the situation.

Klaus glared at her and said "why were you calling me? Isn't my noble brother helping you?" He then started to move towards the study when Hayley grabbed him by his arm and turned him towards her and hissed "Klaus I am warning you…"

Klaus moved closer to her in anger and asked "what?"

They both seemed to be ignorant of the fact that Stefan was looking at them

"Nikla…" Elijah called him while coming out of his study and stopped when he saw them standing in that position. Hayley's mind registered Elijah's presence from above Klaus's shoulder and came to her senses. They were standing so close to each other that she could not only hear but feel his heart beating rapidly. She stepped back which made Klaus realize how close he was standing to her. He looked over at Stefan who was looking at him with amused expressions and stepped back. He turned and stopped when he saw Elijah glaring at him in anger.

"Elijah I saw him today in the attic above the church" Klaus told him and went upstairs to his room.

"Hayley I am going to the bayou do you want to come?" Elijah said to her and then he turned to Stefan and told him "You keep an eye on my brother. Now that our father is back I am not sure how he will behave. Not that I was aware of what he was doing before"

He looked at Hayley who was still rooted on her spot and said again "Hayley". Hayley startled when she heard Elijah calling her and turned to him. He had his hand stretched towards her. Hayley walked to him and took his hand. They both left without noticing the amused expressions on Stefan's face.

Stefan got up and walked upstairs to his room. He peeked inside the opened door and saw him painting. Stefan walked in and went and sat on the chair silently.

Klaus was painting on an empty canvas, he was so absorbed that he didn't realize that Stefan had entered his room. He stepped back after a while and stared at the beautiful innocent face of his daughter. He stepped forward and scribbled Hope at the corner of the painting.

"That is pretty good" Stefan said from his seat and he walked up to it and then stopped when he saw "Hope" scribbled at the corner.

Klaus said without looking at him "Yes that is her. You wanted to know about her, that is her in her father's arms. The two hours he could spend with her"

He put the brush down, picked up the painting and put it with the others in the corner of the room. HE then went and laid on his bed.

Stefan looked at him for a while and then asked "how are you planning to kill your father this time? You don't have the stake now"

When Klaus didn't answer he thought that Klaus had gone to sleep but then when he was about to leave his room Klaus said "we need to get that stake back from Davina"

"And how do you propose we do that?" Stefan turned and walked to the sofa and sat on it.

"I am thinking about it" Klaus said and then said absent mindedly "We know there are two more stones which have not been given to anyone yet so who could she give them to?"

"Why don't you concentrate on Davina and your father and let Hayley and Elijah deal with Francesca?" Stefan said after a couple of seconds of silence.

"What?" Klaus suddenly asked

"I said that you should work on getting the stake back and let them deal with Francesca" Stefan said with an amused expression.

"Right" Klaus said and then got up from his bed and started to go out while saying "Coming?"

Stefan got up from his seat and followed him when Klaus bumped into Hayley. They both stared at each other for a fraction of second and then Hayley asked him "Going somewhere?" while her gaze travelled to Stefan who stayed back with an amused expression, which has started to come on his face everything when he saw these two interact.

Klaus followed her gazed, laughed and said "You are starting to sound like a jealous wife love. You don't have to worry about Stefan. There is nothing going on between us".

He then started to go down when Hayley grabbed his arm and said "I want to go too"

"No, you stay here and work with Elij…." Klaus now said sternly

"No, it concerns me too. He tried to kill me and her remember" Hayley said with a resolve. An image of her being in Mikael's grip came to her mind.

Stefan looked at both of them with confused expression and then he saw Klaus nod his head.

They all went down and saw Elijah in the court yard lost in thoughts. Elijah looked up at them and asked "Where are you all lot off to?"

"I am going to get the stake back. Stefan will be helping me and Hayley well she wants to gloat over all of this" Klaus said sarcastically and turned towards Hayley at the end the sentence.

She gave him an angry look and then turned to Elijah who was saying "I will come too. Any plans?"

"None" Klaus just said that and left.
