As they were driving to the bayou Klaus got a call from Marcel. He picked up the cell and heard him say "Francesca was spotted earlier today by one of my guys"

"I know she would make an appearance tonight" Klaus said looking at Stefan who was looking at him thoughtfully.

They got out of the car and as they were walking towards their huts Carry came toward and asked them "what are you doing here? It is full moon today"

"Yes we know. We have information that many more werewolves have gotten that ring and we thought your pack need some help fighting against them" Klaus said looking around

"More rings but from where?" Carry asked "Francesca said that she didn't have any more rings"

"Yes she does not. It is somebody else and I have a feeling that your pack might have gotten those rings from her" Klaus said aggressively

"NO, they wouldn't without telling me" Carry said in surprised tone

"Then you know!" Klaus said angrily

Carry looked at Stefan and said "why would I hide from you if I have the rings?"

"How should I know?" Klaus said angrily

As they stood there suddenly Carry felt something and Klaus and Stefan looked at each other as they heard his bones breaking. Stefan took a step back and as he turned to Klaus he heard him yell in pain.

Klaus felt as if million pointed pins have been stuck in his body and his body has been run over by a trailer. He withered in pain and collapsed on the ground.

Stefan hurried towards him when he heard the growl. Stefan looked up and saw wolves advancing towards him. Klaus looked up in pain and got up. Wiped the blood seeping out of his nose and took charge to fight. A wolf jumped on him but it fell down with a whimper.

Klaus turned and saw him standing there.

Stefan gave him a fleeting glance and asked "What are you doing here Enzo?"

Enzo walked to them with a cross bow in his hand and said "Looks like you guys need help over here"

He shot a wolf with a dart who whimpered and fell down with a thud.

"Do you two know each other?" Klaus said taking a step back from the approaching wolves

Stefan said dodging a wolf that had jumped on to him "Damon's friend"

He tried to grab him by his throat using his both hands but the wolf was too strong and it pinned him down. Stefan raised his hand in the defensive position to stop the wolf from biting him but couldn't when suddenly he saw that wolf fly through the air and fell with a thud on the ground. He held Klaus outstretched hand and said "Any more plans. They are so many. How will be sort them out?"

Then then heard a howl and the wolves advancing towards him turned to the sound and scattered.

Klaus looked at Stefan in confusion and thought about following them when he saw a cut on Stefan's hand. He said to him casually "you have been bitten!"

"What?" Stefan asked in confusion

"You have been bitten I said" Klaus said. He bit his wrist and presented it to Stefan who stared at him and then said "I think I will prefer it from a glass"

Klaus laughed and took his arm back. He then turned to Enzo and said "what was in that?"

"Wolfbane darts" Enzo said

"What are you doing here Enzo?" Stefan asked walking toward the car

"What does a person do when he comes back from death…. See the things that he has not seen and New Orleans is one of the places I have never seen" Enzo said casually

"You came back from death?" Klaus asked stopping near his car.

Stefan said with bitterness "Yes. Enzo here managed to escape the other side before it went into oblivion"

Enzo laughed and said "well I guess I was lucky. Your brother could have too if Elena had not been the distraction"

He then turned and walked away leaving Stefan seething in anger.

"I like him" Klaus said while getting into his car.

They drove back to the compound.

Hayley and Elijah went to the bayou but it was all quiet there so they decide to go back to the compound.

As Klaus and Stefan entered the compound Klaus looked up and saw Francesca standing there. She jerked her neck and turned. Her fangs came out and the eyes turned yellow.

Klaus sighed and turned to Stefan who was bracing himself for the attack. He took one back step in a defensive position. He was feeling really weak from the full moon and the remaining Gurrea wolves using the ring.

Francesca howled and suddenly around 20 half turned entered the compound and they attacked Klaus and Stefan from all direction.

Stefan kicked and bit a couple of them but they were more than them. He looked over Klaus and saw him bleeding but kicking and decapitating their heads.

It took him one second to make a decision when someone jumped at him and bit him on his neck. Stefan yelled and tried to push him off of him when the guy on him went flying across the room.

Hayley got out of the car and went inside. She stopped right in the track when she saw the fight and without a second later she turned and lunged at the nearest guy. She grabbed his neck and pulled it apart. She turned just in time to see Elijah pulling somone's heart out. She scanned the room and saw Stefan doubled over holding his neck. She looked at Klaus who was still ripping hearts out and as she saw she saw him howl in pain and fall on his knees. She ran towards him and threw the man sinking his teeth into his neck away from him.

Klaus got up but swayed. He looked at her but he felt himself flew in the air and fell on the ground after hitting the wall. He howled in pain. Hayley spun around and saw Davina standing there. Elijah looked at his brother withering in pain. He looked around and with his vamp eyesight he saw it. Before he could do anything he saw Hayley whoosh across the room and took his heart out. She bend down and took the ring off his hand and turned towards Elijah with blood smeared on her face and clothes.

"Stop" they heard a voice.

Elijah and Hayley looked around and saw Cassie and Davina standing at the main door. She had her hand in the air. She twisted them and to Elijah's horror he saw Klaus lifted in the air and then she broke his neck by twisted her hand again.

Hayley screamed "No" and tried to go to him but she felt as if she has gone paralyzed.

"What are you doing here?" Elijah asked looking at Klaus's body on the ground

Cassie said calmly "Trying to control the fight that has gone out of control"

She smiled when she saw Elijah's eyes focused on Finn. She said "I know you know about us. I wanted to just talk to you"

Elijah said aggressively "Like you talked last time and tried to get us all killed"

Esther said "that was a mistake. I want us to be a family again"

Elijah said "I already have a family"

"Yes I can see that" she said and her eyes darted to Hayley who was still staring at Klaus lifeless body

She asked without looking at Esther "is he dead?"

Esther smiled and said "Not yet"

Hayley growled and said "You bitch". She tried to move but she couldn't.

Esther glared at her and said "Watch your language. Didn't anyone tell you how to talk to your elder?"

Hayley said with contempt "didn't anyone tell you a mother does not kill her children"

For a second Esther paled which didn't go unnoticed by Elijah.

Finn made a sudden movement but Esther stopped him by saying "Not now Finn. I want her to live and see her child die and then I will kill her"

Hayley quickly looked at Elijah who was staring at his mother. Esther laughed and said "You honestly thought that you had fooled everyone. We will find Rebekah and that child of yours"

She then turned and left with Davina and Finn following her.

Hayley looked in Stefan's direction but he seemed unconscious.

As she left Hayley could feel herself moving. She darted to Klaus and knelt down beside him. She touched her cheek and then looked at Elijah and said "he is not breathing"

"What?" Elijah said in an alarming voice and then Elijah bit into his wrist and put it near his mouth. A couple of drop of blood went into Klaus mouth.

Klaus felt the warm blood touch his lips. He felt energy coming into him. He grabbed the hand and started drinking from it and then he felt some one push him away. He looked at the hand pushing him away and saw that it was Hayley's.

He looked into Elijah's eyes and let his hand go. He got up and looked over to Stefan who was on the ground now. He said without looking at Elijah or Hayley "I need a glass"

He bit into his wrist and poured some blood into the glass handed to him by Hayley and gave it to Stefan. Stefan drank the blood and started to heal right in front of them.

Klaus looked up at the sky and saw the moon was almost disappearing. He turned to Elijah and Hayley and said trying to sound casual"anyone need blood?"

When both of them just stared at him, he started towards his room when Hayley stepped very close to him and said in a whisper "she knows"

Klaus stopped and looked at her and asked "what?"

"She knows about Hope" Hayley said in whisper as if she was in trance and then she shouted "your mother knows about her"

She then angrily pushed him away whooshed to her room.

Klaus looked at Elijah and asked him "How?"

"I don't know" Elijah said and then stared at all the bodies lying in their court yard.

Stefan looked at Klaus and asked "what is going on?"

Klaus said harshly "Nothing" and then went up to his room.

Hayley was pacing her room trying to calm herself down. She felt as if someone was choking her. She couldn't breathe. Esther's words were ringing in her ears. She wanted to snap her neck and then out of nowhere she fell down and started to hyperventilate.

Klaus dried his hair and came out of the bathroom and put on a clean shirt and then his gaze fell on a painting of Hope and Hayley. He picked it up and went to her room. As he raised his hand to knock the door he saw her on the ground hyperventilating. He put the painting down and rushed to her.

She looked into the eyes of the strong arms that were holding her. As she recognized those blue green eyes she signaled him by waving her hands "I cannot breathe".

Klaus laid her head on the carpet and rubbed her hands but it was not working. She was still having trouble breathing. Then he cursed "bloody hell" and bent down and gave her mouth to mouth.

Hayley felt his soft lips on her lips and a gush of air into her lungs and she felt some relief. She touched his arm and signaled him with her hand that she is okay now.

Klaus moved back and turned at the sound and saw Elijah standing there looking at them with stunned expressions.

Hayley looked at his turned face and grabbed his arm and said with panic "she will kill her"

Klaus turned towards her and said "No she will not. She is safe with Rebekah"

Hayley said hysterically "she will!" and then she started to hyperventilate again and said between breaths "what if she kills her?" looking at Elijah who was frozen at that spot.

Klaus held her face in both hands and said "Hayley look… look into my eyes" when she did. "Listen to me she will not kill her. I will never let that happen. Do you understand? I will die before letting anyone harm her"

Hayley grabbed him by his arms and focusing on the sound of his voice and words she started to calm down.

Klaus picked her up from the floor and carried her to her bed. He picked up the covers and put her under it and turned to leave when she held his arm and said "Please can you stay for a couple of minutes"

Klaus had his back towards her.

Elijah looked at his brother's broken face. He saw him look down and then look up at him.

Klaus looked at Elijah who nodded and said "right". He saw Elijah leaving. He turned and looked at her and said "yes". He then went to sit on the couch in her room.

Hayley closed her eyes after looking at him for a couple of seconds. Klaus looked at her and from her breathing he realized that she has gone to sleep. He wanted to get out of her room but after thinking for a while he laid on the couch and closed his eyes. Soon he had gone to sleep.

Klaus opened his eyes and laid there staring at the ceiling thinking about the image he just had in his nightmare. He looked towards her and thought about how he was trying to hold on to her but her hand was slipping from his grasp. He didn't know when but he went to sleep again while looking at her.

'Hayley looked at the girl trying to hold on to his arm and ran to help her as he was moving away. She herself ran and grabbed him by his arm. He looked around and looked at her hand holding his arm and then looked up into her shocked eyes. And then her eyes opened'

She looked at him sleeping on the couch peacefully. She got up and took the blanket and put it on him and then went to her bed and tried to go back to sleep again. After a couple of minutes she managed to do that.
