As soon as they left Klaus turned to Caroline and asked her "So Caroline do you want to see New Orleans now or later?"

"Right now is fine" She said with a smile

"Klaus I need to tell you something" Stefan said

Klaus had an idea what he was about to say so he said "Later Stefan" without looking at him and then took Caroline's hand and left the compound.

Klaus stopped the car at Rouseau's. Caroline and he entered the bar. Cami was serving the drinks. She looked up when she saw them coming in. She scanned the young blond linked to his arm and ignored the pang of jealousy in her stomach and said "Hello Klaus. What can I get you today?"

"Any drink would do love. I am showing Caroline New Orleans today so make a good impression" Klaus smiled at Cami and led Caroline to an empty table.

"How is Tyler?" Klaus asked her after a couple of minutes

"He is fine. We are not together anymore thanks to you" Caroline said with annoyance

"Love, I forgave him if you remember. That was your graduation gift" Klaus leaned back and said with a lazy smile on his face.

"Well the damage was done by then" Caroline replied snapped at him angrily

"Oh well. His loss" Klaus said casually.

"So will you tell me what is it that will bring Damon back?" Klaus asked her as Cami was putting drink on their table.

Caroline looked at him and then said "You"

Klaus laughed and said "You mean if you kill me Damon will come back"

"That is what we have been promised" Caroline said insolently

"You can try love. You all will die with me" Klaus leaned in and said coldly

"Yes that is the slight hitch in the plan" Caroline answered.

Klaus looked around and then suddenly he spotted Oliver. He whooshed to him and grabbed him by his neck and said with clenched teeth "You are testing your luck again and again by coming in front of me mate. Tell me has Francesca accepted you without your ring or has she given you another ring"

He threw her against the wall and then turned to Caroline who was looking at him in shock.

"Okay now let us go and I will show you the Father Kieran's church" Klaus said casually putting the ring in his pocket.

Caroline looked at him for a moment and then nodded.

They left the bar and went to the church. Once inside he told her "I killed father Kieran on that spot"

"Why?" Caroline turned to him and asked him

"Because I had to" Klaus answered with a sneer. He then led her upstairs to the attic and opened the door. Caroline gasped when she saw Mikael. She turned to Klaus who was smirking. Klaus said "I am sure you remember my father Caroline"

Mikael lunged at Klaus but the boundary spell kept him in check. Caroline gaped at Mikael and then at Klaus.

"See my father cannot cross this threshold as much as he wants to because there is a boundary spell on this attic" Klaus said to Caroline with a smirk.

He then looked at his father and said "I will kill you this time too"

Mikael stated as much hatred "Not before I make you see your daughter die"

Klaus felt his heat stop whereas Caroline just stared at him. Then Klaus recovered and remembered their cover "She is already dead Mikael" ignoring Caroline's stare and gasp

"Well then my only regret is that I couldn't kill her in front of your eyes" Mikael said with hatred

Caroline responded quicker than Klaus this time and held him back by his arm.

He freed his arm from her grasp and left with Caroline following him

Once inside the car Klaus tried to calm himself down. Caroline looked at him and asked him "what was he talking about?"

Klaus looked at her and then smirked "Didn't your precious Tyler tell you about Hayley and me?"

"What?" Caroline almost screamed

"yes we had a one night stand in Mystic falls which led her to get pregnant and long story short nine months later our daughter died just a couple of hours after her birth"

Caroline looked at him in horror. Whatever her feelings for Klaus were right now she wouldn't wish of this terrible for anyone. She asked him

"But you are a…."

"Yes yes I know. It is my wolf side that made that possible" Klaus said cutting her off and then he started the car and drove it towards the compound.

Hayley was very quiet during the drive. Elijah looked at her and then he held her hand. Hayley looked at him and tried to smile but she couldn't.

Elijah said to her "Hayley don't worry we will get her back"

Hayley nodded even though her heart was sinking with every passing day and hope was turning to hopelessness. Rest of their journey was done quietly. Elijah stopped the car outside the cemetery and they got out. They walked to the witch yard. Elijah took a step inside the threshold but he was held back. He looked at Hayley who tried too but was held back.

"I have put a boundary spell on here so that you or your brother cannot come in" Davina walked towards them

Elijah looked at her and tried to find that sweet innocent girl whom he wanted to help 7 months ago. He said "I have come to talk to you about Cassy Davina"

"She is not here right now" Davina said

"I know" Elijah said in a calm voice and then after a couple of seconds he said "Davina she is not Cassy" Elijah said in a calm voice

"What do you mean?" Davina asked in confusion

"You stupid bitch. That girl is not Cassy, it is Esther in her body" Hayley cut Elijah off and said aggressively

"Are you crazy?" Davina asked her in confusion

"No I am not but you definitely are the dumbest person I have seen alive. You brought a vampire hunter back from death just because you had beef with Klaus. Now you will see what evil you have unleashed on New Orleans" Hayley snapped at her ignoring Elijah's shocked expressions.

Hayley continued hatefully "Any way we just wanted to tell you about Esther so that if she tries to kill you tomorrow don't come running to us for help"

Davina looked at Elijah who was eyeing Hayley and then realized that he had not contradicted this theory. She thought of all those times when she had thought that Cassy coming back this powerful was because of the support and power from the ancestors but now she was starting to have doubts.

Elijah at last looked at her and said "we can still protect you Davina" ignoring Hayley's scoff.

Davina snapped out of her thoughts and said with a sneer "You and your brother will be the last resort for me to ask help if I need any"

Elijah looked at her – at the lost girl and then turned with Hayley to go when Hayley stopped and said to Davina "it was his daughter too you know" and then she left with Elijah leaving Davina staring at her.

Once inside the car Hayley took a deep breath and said "Do you think she believed us?"

She looked at him but saw him lost. She asked him "what is it Elijah?"

"Nothing" Elijah said lost in his thought about what Hayley had said earlier about him losing his daughter too. They have all been so absorbed in their own sorrows that he had not thought about what Klaus must be going through and what kind of hurt Davina's words must have put on him.

After a couple of seconds he looked at her and said "Hayley do you realize that you are changing?"

Hayley sighed and said "what do you mean?"

"You have become more… umm... you are not what you used to be" Elijah said

"I have been always this way Elijah. I take what I want by any means remember. If you don't like the present me then leave me" Hayley said with a bit of annoyance.

Elijah was taken aback by her answer. HE said "I didn't mean that"

"Sure you didn't" Hayley said sarcastically "Ever since I have been become a hybrid you have been treating me differently"

"I didn't meant to Hayley" Elijah said.

"Sure you didn't" Hayley said it again. Elijah sighed, started the car and drove towards the compound.

Once they reached the compound she got out and went inside before even looking back at Elijah.

Stefan looked up at Caroline and Klaus as they entered the compound. He could see the anger on his face when he had entered. He looked at Caroline who just shook her head. Klaus went up to his room whereas Caroline walked up to him and asked him "did you know about his daughter?"

Stefan looked at her and said "yes. When I came here he told me"

She opened her mouth to say something when she saw Elena coming down. Elena walked up to Stefan and hugged him.

"Have you found anything?" Elena asked him after detangling from him.

"No and I am not going to let you guys kill him to get him back" Stefan said

"It is your brother Stefan" Elena said in frustration

"Yes it is and I will find out another way to do it" Stefan said sternly

Elena said "Stefan!"

"NO Elena" Stefan said and then he went upstairs to talk to him

Klaus entered his room and fell on his bed. He closed his eyes as to relieve himself of the tension that he has been carrying for more than two weeks now. He then got up, walked to his walking closet and opened the box where he had kept all the rings he had taken from Gurrea wolves. He then laid on the bed again. He had only four more rings to get and a little more than one week to the full moon. He had not gotten around to telling Elijah about it yet. He got up angrily cursing Genevieve in his mind and went to the bathroom to take a shower to wash away all this worries.

Stefan peeked into his room but it was empty and bathroom door was closed so he went down again.

"Hayley" Elijah called her while following her inside

"Elijah I don't want to talk about it" she said and stopped when she saw Elena.

"Hello Elena, what are you doing here?" She asked her

"More to the point what are you doing here?" Elena asked her curiously

"She and Klaus are together" Caroline chipped in

"We are not together" Hayley said while Elijah said at the same time "they are not together"

No one saw Stefan's smile as Hayley and Elijah were looking at each other whereas Caroline and Elena were staring them.

"Where is Klaus Stefan" Hayley asked Stefan

"He went to his room" Stefan told him.

Hayley started towards the stairs when Caroline stopped her and said "I am sorry for you loss"

Hayley looked at her realizing that Klaus had told her "he told you"

"Yes and I am sorry for your loss" Caroline hugged her which took Hayley by surprise.

Hayley gently detangled herself and said coldly "well she is gone right!"

She then turned and went to his room. The door was open so she entered without knocking.

Klaus had just come out of the bathroom. He was holding his shirt in his hand when he heard her come in.

Hayley stopped in her track when she saw his shirtless body. It was still gleaming with water droplets. Her gaze fell on his tattoo. Klaus followed her gaze to his tattoo, he smirked which brought her back to earth. She turned to leave but Klaus stopped her by whooshing in front of her. He said "you wanted something love?" He looked at her and then put on his shirt fully realizing that he was making her nervous.

"I wanted to know what is our next move against your father and your mother? And don't forget Francesca" Hayley said trying to hide her nervousness. Somehow standing so close to him, him being freshly showered in bare feet and wet hair made the moment a little more intimate. She then stepped back which made Klaus smirk again.

"Francesca has only four rings left. One hers and the other two she has not used yet. One that I forgot to take off from the first werewolf I killed. My father is still locked in that attic and my mother I haven't thought about yet" Klaus said as he stepped back and running his fingers through his wet hair. When he didn't hear anything, he turned and looked at her.

Hayley's mind registered to what he had said but her eyes were on the painting she had seen a couple of days ago. She walked to it and brushed her hand on her name in the corner of the painting.

Klaus looked at her and then walked towards the painting and took it off the aisle aggressively and put it in the corner with other painting. He turned to her and saw her looking at him with strange expressions. He didn't feel comfortable with the way she was looking at him. He said to her "Now I am tired love. I want to sleep. I would invite you to stay but my brother might not like it"

Hearing these words snapped her out of her thoughts. But what she just seen in his eyes and that painting was so much for her that she was not even angry at these words. She just looked at him and then left the room without saying anything leaving him more frustrated than if she had said something.

Klaus closed his door and went to his bed to sleep.

Hayley changed her clothes and went to her bed when she heard a knock on her door. She got up and opened the door to see Elijah standing there.

Elijah looked at her and said "I am sorry if I hurt your feelings earlier"

"No Elijah you didn't hurt my feelings" Hayley said with exasperation "but you need to give me some space and some liberty to act as I want. I am starting to hate this breathing down the neck treatment from you"

"Okay Hayley as you wish" Elijah said and then he kissed her. He stepped back and then giving her one final look he went to his room.
