Klaus took off his shirt and looked at 5 bullet holes in his body oozing blood out. He took a deep breath and then dug his finger in one of the holes when the door of his room banged open. He turned around saying "bloody hell" and then stopped in trance when he saw her standing there gaping at his wounds. He opened his mouth to say something when he saw Elijah appearing behind her.
Elijah looked at Hayley in surprise and then followed her to his room. He asked her "Hayley what..." and then his gaze fell on his brother standing there shirtless with finger in one of the holes in his body while others were just oozing blood. He brushed past Hayley and walked to him and asked "how?"
Klaus steered his eyes away from Hayley and said casually "I had a disagreement with some people"
He then pulled his finger out saying "I cannot reach it. It seems that it has gone bit deeper than expected"
Elijah took a breath and then took his jacket off. He rolled his sleeves and said to Hayley without looking at her "I need some wet towel"
Hayley came out of trance hearing that and looked around. She spotted the bathroom and went there.
Klaus took a deep breath and laid down on his bed. He closed his eyes and opened them when he sensed her.
Hayley walked out of the bathroom holding the wet towel and saw that Elijah was not in the room. She asked him "where is Elijah?"
Klaus closed his eyes and said "HE has gone to get something to take the bullets out"
Hayley walked to him and stood over him.
HE felt his mattress sink and opened his eyes. She was sitting next to him.
As he looked at her she put the wet towel on his wounds. She asked him softly while looking at the wounds "does it hurt?"
Klaus didn't answer immediately and then she looked at him. HE looked away and said "No it just stings". He could feel her cold hand on his torso and it was making him feel weird.
Elijah entered the room with a knife in his hand and stopped when he saw her sitting next to him. He tried to keep the jealousy out of his system and walked to them.
Realizing that Elijah is standing next to her Hayley jumped up making Klaus laugh. She glared at him angrily and then stepped back.
Elijah bent over his wounds and started taking out the bullets gently with the help of knife.
Hayley winced each time he put the knife in his wound but there was not much of pain reflecting on his face but then her gaze fell on his hand clutching on the bed sheet and she realized that he is in fact in pain. She was looking at him when suddenly he turned his head and their eyes met.
Klaus looked deep into those brown eyes. He tried to look away but he couldn't and then he heard Elijah saying "okay done"
He got up and looked down as he saw his wounds healing. He pushed himself off the bed and said "I will be down in a minute after cleaning all this mess and then we can plan about our next step about our parents"
He brushed past Hayley and went to the bathroom.
After he closed the door Elijah looked up at Hayley cleaning the blood off of his hand from the towel she was holding and realized that she was staring at the bathroom door.
He got up and left his room.

Hayley stood there for a couple of minutes staring at the painting of the little girl's sitting on the grass laughing and then left.

Klaus came out of bathroom and saw that the room was empty. His gaze fell on the painting and he sighed.

He put on his shirt and then went downstairs.

Elijah walked to her as she entered the study and said "Hayley I am sorry for what I said yesterday. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings in any way. It is not that I have any issue with what you are doing. I just thought that you are not this but I guess you are right I didn't know you before so I am willing to know you now"

Hayley sighed and said in a serious tone "Elijah I know what you want. You never knew me before Hope was born because you never saw the real me and now that you are seeing me for who I really am. It pains me to see that you don't approve of the real me. I cannot live with this knowledge that you are just accepting me because you are force to. Please let's take a step back and think about what we want from each other and let's concentrate on getting how to get Hope back which seems more and more impossible with the each growing threat to her"

Klaus left his room and saw Stefan coming out of his room. He asked him across the corridors "where have you been yesterday?"

Klaus laughed and said "missed me?"

Stefan smiled and said while walking towards him "of course I missed you. This house is so boring without your usual dramas"

He stopped right in front of him and said "I talked to Elena. She will leave by tomorrow. Caroline wants to stay though" he added mischievously "I think someone is still smitten by you"

Klaus laughed and nodded. They both walked down the stairs and entered the study.

Elijah looked at her serious face and said "Okay but…" he stopped when he saw Stefan and Klaus entering the room.

Klaus said ignoring the annoyance that had come on Elijah's face at the interruption "we have three days to full moon and I think we can account for all the stones. Francesca will use one for herself, hopefully Carry and Jackson have managed to get one for themselves. I am going to check that out with Jackson" he turned to Stefan and asked him "Do you want to come Stefan?"

"I have to go meet Kaleb right now. He called me" Stefan said with apology

Klaus was about to turn when Hayley and Elijah together said "I will come with you"

Klaus looked at them and smiled "sure the more the merrier"

Drive to the bayou was a quiet one. Once Klaus looked in the rearview mirror and saw her staring out of the window. Once they reached there Klaus got out of the car and went to Jackson's hut without sparing a look for Hayley and Elijah.

Jackson got up from the porch on which he was sitting and said to him with his eyes fixed on Hayley "No luck. Apparently Francesca has given one ring to Oliver and she does not have any more"

Klaus groaned and turned back to leave.

Hayley smiled at Jackson and said "thanks for helping us Jackson"

"I didn't have a choice Hayley" Jackson said looking at Klaus leaving

"Did he threaten you?" Hayley asked in anger

"Well not exactly threaten but I have learned not to cross his path" Jackson said with a tired smile. "You don't worry I will try to find out if she has any more rings or not"

Hayley smiled and then stepped forward and hugged him

She then stepped back and then turned and walked towards the car with Elijah walking besides her.

Klaus was waiting in the car for him. He had a cell phone on his ear.

As Elijah opened the passenger door he heard him ask "so what are you going to do now?"

Elijah listened as he heard Stefan say "I don't know. Kaleb wants couple of more days and I think I will give him that at least"

Klaus looked behind and when he saw that she was sitting in the car he put the car in gear and reversed it and said to Stefan "Yes you should" and then he put the cell down.

He pulled the car out on the road.

Elijah looked at his brother and saw that he was lost in thoughts. He then turned to look at Hayley who looked lost too.

He cleared his throat and said "so if Jackson does not have an extra ring then where is it because we know that Francesca has one?"

As Elijah was thinking that he will not get an answer Klaus said without looking at him "Either Carry or someone else. We need to find that ring"

Hayley looked at him and then turned away. She has been feeling really low today so she closed her eyes and let herself fall to sleep.

Klaus said to Elijah "I think we need to confirm your suspicions about that new guy with mother. What say you?"

Elijah nodded and then said without looking back "Hayley up for it?"

When she didn't answer Elijah looked back where as Klaus looked from the rearview mirror that she had gone to sleep.

Klaus and Elijah looked at each other as if to ask "what to do next?" when he heard her scream "No". Elijah turned out and saw her opening her eyes. Klaus saw the fear on her face and the sound of her heart beating so loudly and fast made him grip the steering wheel tighter making his knuckles go white. He knew very well what she was going through.

Elijah asked in a worried voice "Hayley are you okay"

"Yes I am" she wiped her face and without intention looked at him in the rearview mirror and caught his eyes.

As soon as their eyes met he looked away.

Elijah asked her "do you want to go to the witch yard to see who that guy with mother is?"

"Yes" Hayley said

Klaus nodded with a smile and then drove towards the witch yard.

He stopped the car outside the grave yard and got out. Klaus leaned against the car and said "You guys go. She will never cooperate if she sees me. I will wait here"

Elijah and Hayley looked at each other and then walked to the witch yard when he called them and said "On second thoughts I will go to the compound. You guys can come on your own right" and then without waiting for a reply he got into his car and left.

Hayley looked at Elijah in bewilderment who just shrugged his shoulder and then turned and walked towards the witch yard. They saw Davina standing with Cassy. Davina looked up at Elijah and Hayley and walked towards them and said "You remember my friend Cassy"

Elijah looked at her in disbelief thinking 'has davina not told Cassy that she know who she really is?'

He narrowed his eyes and when she just shook her head he realized that he was on the right track. He said to her "I need to talk to you Davina about something really important". Elijah looked at Cassy and tried to contain the emotion he was feeling right now because he knew that it was his mother. He continued "alone and I promise that you will be safe"

Cassy said in a sharp voice "Davina do you think it is a good idea?"

"It is okay Cassy. When noble Elijah promises something he keeps it. I will be back in a few minutes" She said to Cassy and then step out of the boundary line.

Hayley's hand itched to slap her but she contained herself. They needed something from her and for that she needed to be in a cooperative mood.

As they walked out of the cemetery she turned and said to her in a sarcastic tone "so not brave enough to tell her that you know her secret"

Davina glared at her and opened her mouth to say something when Elijah said "Hayley stop"

He turned to Davina and asked her "we have come to ask about that other person who has been seen around ever since Cassy has come back. Who is he?"

Davina was quiet for a while and then she said with some frustration "I don't know honestly but I think he knows your mother"

Elijah nodded and asked "what do you mean by knows our mother"

Davina said "I don't know. He really knows what she is up to. He does not question anything she asks him to do and does it without any hesitation even if I find something very questionable"

Elijah said "hmm like what?"

Davina looked at him and then said "they have been searching for some old tablet"

"What do they want from that?" Elijah asked

"I don't know Elijah I swear" Davina said and then she continued "If we are done then I would like to leave"

"Davina I think that young guy is our brother Finn so be careful" Elijah called her as she was leaving

"Your brother!" Davina said whereas Hayley stared at him

"I had a suspicion but after listening to you it is very clear who our beloved mother had brought with her"

"Your mother had brought another Original! Why would she do that when she wants to kill the one who are still alive?" Davina asked in a surprised tone

Elijah smiled and said "I have been thinking about the same thing Davina. We just want to warn you

Davina stared at him and then left without saying anything. Hayley looked at Elijah and asked him "so why would she do that?"

"I think she will try to pull what she pulled in Mystic Falls again" Elijah said thinking

"And what was that?" Hayley asked

Elijah walked to her and said "I can show you"

He took one step closer to her and put his hand on her temple making her see what their mother tried to do in mystic Fall.

Hayley looked into Elijah's eyes when he removed his hand and said with pity"I feel sorry for you guys having parents like these"

She then turned and walked towards the car.

Elijah opened the car and sat down and said after starting the engine "You must not judge our parents Hayley. They loved us until they saw what that magic did to us"

"But she did the magic. She knew what she was doing so why would she want to kill you" Hayley said with a bit annoyance

"Yes she does know that. I think that she cannot live with this guilt that her magic has made these monsters who are a big cause of threat to humanity" Elijah said without looking at her "and she wants to rectify her mistake"

Hayley looked at him but she felt too tired and annoyed to argue so she just stared out of the window.
