Hayley looked at Klaus after Stefan left and asked him "where is he going?"
Klaus answered without looking at Hayley "Asking Davina to help him with his brother"
He continued reading the book and then looked up at her and saw that she was lost in her thoughts. He closed the book slowly and then said after clearing his throat "how are you feeling?"
Hayley looked at him with narrowed eyes and then said with annoyance "if one more person asks me how I am feeling I will start screaming"
Klaus laugh made her more annoyed. HE said to her "fair enough"
Hayley looked at him and caught him looking at her. To her astonishment he got flustered. Hayley had never seen him flustered before and it was a pleasant surprise to her. She smiled at him and then asked him "have you met Enzo?"
Klaus asked her without looking at her "Damon's friend?"
"Yes. What do you think of him?" Hayley asked curiously.
Klaus laughed and said sarcastically "Do you think Elijah will appreciate your taking interest in other guys?"
Hayley just stared at him without saying anything. To her own surprise his banter didn't bother her one bit.
When she continued to just stare at him Klaus took a deep breath and said "I don't know. He keeps on popping up here and there and taking us out from trouble"
"Why would he do that?" Hayley asked
"I want to say that there are decent people in this world but I dont think so. He is up to something and I intend to find that out" Klaus said relaxing on the sofa.
"Have you thought about how you are going to warn Rebekah about your parents" Hayley asked him feeling a bit nervous as she saw him putting his arms on the sofa back.
"Don't worry love. Rebekah has cloaking spell for Hope. She would be safe as long as she is not in contact with us" Klaus said after a couple of seconds.
Hayley was quiet for a while and then she asked him "How long do you suppose it will be before we get her back?"
Klaus just stared at her without saying anything.
Then they heard a cough from the doorway. They turned and saw Stefan standing there. Hayley looked at him, got up and said "I will leave you two"
She left the room.
Stefan looked at her leaving and then walked over to sit at the spot she had emptied. He looked at Klaus and said "she seems composed?"
"Don't be deceived Stefan, this is the calm before the storm. So how was your meeting with Davina?" Klaus said casually and then got up and went to the liquor cabinet to get something to drink to wash away the frustration he had been feeling after his talk with her.
"Well Davina is willing to help" Stefan said
Klaus looked at him in shock and then said "really! Did you have to threaten her again"
Stefan laughed and said "surprisingly not this time. She was more than willing to help me. I think she has realized that I am not YOU"
Klaus laughed and said "Yes that could be" and then he added after sipping his drink "So what has she told you to do"
Stefan cleared his throat and said "she thinks that Damon needs an anchor to cross over from where ever he is stuck to come to his world"
Klaus kept looking at him so he said "That anchor is me. She will link me to Damon. That is how she will pull him back. She will contact him just like the witches contact the dead and then she will pull him back. If Bonnie is linked to Damon then she will be pulled back with him"
Klaus stared at him, took a sip of his drink and asked "what will it cost you?"
Stefan smiled and asked "how did you know?"
Klaus smirked and said "Nothing comes without a price with magic"
when Stefan kept quiet, he asked him "so what is it?"
Stefan said "My life will be tied to his. In fact all of ours, me, Damon and Bonnie will be tied together. If something happens to one of them, it will happen to all of us"
"No biggie then" Klaus said sarcastically
Stefan suddenly got up and said angrily "I am willing to do that for my brother, Klaus. I don't know what would you have done if you were in my place but I am willing to do that to Damon"
Klaus opened his mouth to say something when Stefan's cell rang.
He smiled at him and paid attention to his drink while Stefan picked up his cell.
Klaus's ear got alerted when he heard him say "Elena..."
"What are you saying slow down" Stefan said in a confused sound.
Klaus couldn't help but listen to their conversation "She is alive Stefan. They have lied to us"
Klaus stood up and stared at Stefan who was looking at him with skeptical eyes.
"Elena who told you?" Even before asking Elena Stefan knew that was the fact by the look on Klaus's face. He continued starting at Klaus who stared him back.
"Lenore" Elena said "she does not know where she is but I will find her with her help and then we can bring him back"
"Elena listen..." Stefan said but Elena said "No Stefan I am done with looking for other ways. This is it"
and then she cut him off.
Stefan put the phone down and stared at him and asked him "You lied. Such a big lie. Why?"
Klaus said aggressively "There was no other way to protect her. She was surrounded by witches, vampires and werewolves who wanted to kill her. I did what I thought was best for my daughter and I WILL NOT LET My daughter die and YOU will take care that you will not tell anyone"
"You don't have to be concerned about me Klaus. I am not a monster" Stefan said
"I have to talk sense to Elena" he took out his cell and dialed her number
Klaus was pacing the room anxiously. He said "she wouldn't know where she is otherwise she would have done something"
"No I think she just know that she is alive right now. Lenore might be helping her. I was not expecting this kind of idiocy from her" he put the phone down with frustration as the call didn't connect
"Idiocy from whom?" Hayley asked as she entered the room "Davina... well you can expect anything from her now..." she stopped as she saw Klaus and Stefan exchange knowing looks. She asked Klaus "what is going on?" she walked to him and stood right in front of him.
Klaus looked at Stefan who didn't say anything. .
"Hayley everything will be okay" he said to her after being quiet for a while.
"No you tell me right now what is going on?" she said feeling that sinking feeling in her heart.
"Elena knows about Hope.." and then he reached out and held her falling body.
Hayley felt as if her knees could not support her, she felt herself slide on the ground and then she felt a pair of arms around her. She looked into his concerned eyes and asked "how?"
"I promise she will be okay Hayley" Klaus said still holding her and then he led her to the sofa when Elijah entered the room.
Elijah entered the study saying "brother..." but he stopped as he saw Hayley in his arm. He slowly took a couple of steps and listened to him telling her "Lenore is helping her" Elijah saw his brother her up and guiding her to the sofa.
Hayley looked at Elijah and realized that she was holding the front of Klaus shirt. She didn't let it go and said "so what are we going to do now?"
I am thinking of going there" Klaus said
"Wouldn't that cause more problem" Hayley asked
"Whether it causes more issue or not. If Hope is in danger then we will go there" Elijah had caught on to everything and he said aggressively. He looked at Stefan who said "Elijah I am sorry. I am trying to contact her but it is not getting through. i think she might be ignoring me purposely as she thinks I knew all along. I am a bit disappointed in her right now"
Elijah said while thinking about Davina "yes it is very disappointing when people break your ideal about them"
"I dont think it is a good idea" they all turned to Stefan who was pacing the room and deep in thought
"If you go someone can follow you to them and it is obvious that you guys have gone to extreme lengths to protect her. I gather that she is with Rebekah." Stefan said looking at Klaus.
"What do you suggest then?" Klaus asked him
Stefan looked at everyone and then said "I will go"
Hayley looked at Klaus to see if he objects to this suggestion or not but she was surprise to see him lost in thought and then he said "I think that can work"
"Klaus..." Hayley said in shock
Klaus looked at her and then asked her "Do you have a better solution love? Because if you have I am all ear. I think Stefan is right. Any one of us leave New Orleans right now someone will follow us"
Hayley stared at him with annoyance and decided to stay quiet. Klaus sighed and looked at Stefan and said "Alright then. But what about your deal with Davina"
Stefan said "well she said that the portal will have to be open for some time for her to make contact with Damon and she think that the only event that can make it possible will be next full moon and I kind of agree with it. So I only have wait time and nothing else till then"
Then he turned to Elijah and said "I will need a favor from you"
Klaus laughed cynically and said "so that is why..."
"Don't be a dick" Stefan snapped at him and then said to Elijah "I will need your mother's grimoire"
Elijah stared at him and repeated "why?"
He said "Davina needs the spell for linking me to Damon"
"Are you joking?" Klaus asked still sitting next to Hayley who was holding his hand.
"No I am not. She told me that the spell she intended to use is the one she used to bring your father back and she needed to see it again" Stefan said with annoyance.
Elijah looked at Klaus who shrugged his shoulders. HE then said "I will only give you that spell and that spell only"
Stefan nodded and then left the room.
Klaus and Elijah looked at each other and then Elijah said "Do you think it is a good idea?"
Klaus said "I actually think it is a good idea" and then he realized that he was still holding her hand. He let it go making her suddenly feel cold and left the room too.
Elijah stared at Hayley and asked her "Hayley I promise nothing will happen to Hope"
Hayley looked up at him and then gave him a smile that didn't reach her eyes.
Elijah turned and was about to leave when he turned back again and asked her "Can I ask you something?"
Hayley looked at him in surprise and said with a smile "Since when did you feel the need to ask permission to ask question?"
"Since I have stepped over my boundaries" the words were out before he could stop them making them both flustered.
He then asked her "Are you starting to develop feelings for my brother?"
Hayley looked at him lost for words and then asked him "why do you ask that?"
Elijah smiled and said "you have been really concerned about him lately"
Hayley said trying to keep her voice casual "I am. He is the father of our child after all"
Elijah nodded his head and then turned to leave when he bumped into Klaus.
Klaus was walking towards his study when he heard her say "…father of our child after all"
He knew instantly she was talking about him but he wondered what they were talking about and then he shook his head and entered the study bumping into Elijah.
He said "so I have been thinking…."
Hayley who was still shocked by her own words suddenly said sarcastically "good for you"
Klaus looked at her, laughed and said sarcastically "It is good that you are in a good mood love with everything going on"
He turned to Elijah who was staring at him and said "we can easily jab that stake in our father and Finn's heart right? How hard that can be?"
Hayley looked at him in shock and looked at Elijah who was lost in his thoughts.
Elijah said as Klaus was turning "Niklaus you should know that Davina is trying to break the bloodline connection between you and Marcel and Josh"
Klaus turned slowly and said "well good for her"
"Do you realize that what type of problem it can cause?" Elijah said with some irritation
"what brother?" Klaus asked in a patronizing voice
Elijah said "Bloodline connection is there to keep vampires in check. Have you ever thought about it? That is nature's way of controlling the vampires' behavior"
Klaus was quiet for a while and then he said "what do I care?" and looked up and caught her looking at him.
Hayley blushed and hastily looked away bring a smile on his lip. He turned to leave when Elijah asked him "where are you off to?"
"Out" Klaus said but Elijah whooshed in front of him and stopped him
"What now brother?" Klaus asked with irritation.
"I think we all need to …" Elijah started to say something but Klaus cut him off by saying "take Hayley with you"
Elijah shook his head slightly and then said "I am going to talk some sense to Davina"
"Better not take me with you then. I cannot promise that I will not kill her. Stefan has given me an excellent idea about how to fix her and don't tempt me to use it until Stefan's problem is solved" Klaus said menacingly.
He narrowed his eyes as he caught her again staring at him.
Elijah took a breath and said "okay brother as you wish"
