Klaus walked back into his room and saw that she was not there anymore. He sighed and then went to his bed after taking off his shirt. It was still warm telling him that she had just left. Soon he closed his eyes and was gone into the valley of dreams.

'He cursed as he saw her slip. He could see the panic on her face. She looked at him and then deep down in the valley and then whispered 'Klaus, I don't want to let go'. Her voice reflected fear and panic. He reached further and said 'Listen Hayley, I will not let you go' and then he used all his strength and reach and pulled her up. She fell on his chest with a force'

Klaus opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling wondering about the new turn of event in his regular nightmare. He had known for a while now that the girl whose hand was slipping from his hand was Hayley but it always slipped but today… he couldn't finish his thought. He went to sleep thinking about 'what does it mean?'

He slept through the rest of the night without a dream or a nightmare.

When he next woke up it was bright and late. He hastily dressed up and went down. Stefan was to leave today for Hope and Rebekah and he wanted to make sure one last time that things were okay.

As he entered the study he saw him already seated there.

Stefan looked up at him, smiled and said "you know you have made a good life for yourself here. I have been thinking once Damon is back, we need to make some major changes in our lives. I at least have to leave Mystic Falls. You know that it has become a magic free zone now"

"Magic free! That is interesting. So what does that mean? You enter there and all the magic that made supernatural beings poofs away" Klaus asked sarcastically while sitting down on the sofa.

"yes apparently all supernatural creature with impure magic who enter Mystic falls will die so we cannot go there now" Stefan said

"How come you guys are alive and still vampires?" Klaus asked

"We came back from dead remember, Bonnie brought us back before the otherside before it got poofed away. Tyler is a untriggered werewolf, Alaric is back to normal vampire, Elena is the same…" he looked at him with annoyance when Klaus gave a sarcastic laugh at that.

He said "well she is… she is grieving Klaus"

"I know grief Stefan" Klaus snapped at him.

He sat there and then a thought came to him and he slowly got up and went to the liquor cabinet and took out a bottle of scotch. He was pouring it in a glass still lost in his thoughts when someone took the glass from his hand. He looked at the hand who had taken the glass absentmindedly and then to his annoyance he realized it was her. He looked into her eye and an image of the dream he had that night flashed before his eyes. She said "isn't it early for you to start drinking?"

Klaus smirked and said "No, not that early" he tried to take it back.

Hayley stepped back and said sarcastically "at least wait 1 hour after getting up to start drowning in your sorrows" and to his annoyance she went to Stefan and gave him the drink and said with a smile "you seem to be handling things pretty well so you can have it"

Stefan smiled and took it from her.

Klaus walked to where she was sitting on the sofa and as he sat down next to her intentionally he whispered so that only she could hear "you need to stop acting like my damn wife"

He then sat down so near her that their thighs were touching. Hayley scooted a bit over bringing a sarcastic smile on his lips. He looked at Stefan and said "so when are you leaving?"

Stefan said with a smile "I was waiting for you guys to wake up. I have to leave for airport in a couple of minutes"

Hayley asked him "when will you be there?"

"In three hours. It is a short flight" Stefan said taking a sip from his drink.

"Rebekah will be expecting you. Don't you two start your extracurricular activities! You are not going there for that" Klaus said sternly earning him a dirty look from both Stefan and Hayley.

Klaus continued ignoring both of their stares "Don't get in touch with us. We will get in touch ourselves after a few days here"

As Stefan got up to leave. Hayley stepped forward and hugged him. Stefan looked at Klaus over the shoulder and saw him staring at them. He seemed to be lost in some thoughts. Stefan put her arm around her and said to her "she will be okay. I don't think she is in danger. This is all precautionary"

She still didn't let go and said "I know but you never know with our luck and all"

"Yes I know the feeling" and when she didn't let go he said half laughing "Hayley can I have myself back"

Hayley suddenly realized that she was still hugging him. She immediately let go of him and stepped back hastily bumping into Klaus.

Klaus put his hand on her arms to steady her making a chill run through her body.

Stefan laughed and said "I will be back by next full moon"

He advanced to Klaus to shake his hand and added mischievously while looking at her "and by that time I hope you will discover and explore your secret"

"What secret?" Klaus let go of her and shook Stefan's out stretched hand.

Stefan didnt say anything. Klaus looked at Hayley suspiciously who was looking flushed for some reason and then walked out of compound with him.

On the drive to the airport he turned to Stefan and said "thank you for helping me in all of this and now doing this for us"

Stefan stared at him in surprise and said sarcastically "wow Klaus I am touched"

"Shove it" Klaus laughed and said seriously "see you in a month time"

They gave each other a fleeting hug at the airport. Klaus stood there for a while watching him go in and then turned and drove back to the compound.

He went to Elijah's study ignoring the jealousy he felt when he saw them sitting together, he said "I think we should confront our parents today"

Elijah looked up and said sarcastically "It is an idea"

"Why do you want to do that?" Hayley asked

"I want to know what she is up to. I know what he wants but I am not sure what she wants. If she wants to kill us then what is the point of making those bloody rings?" Klaus asked sitting right opposite them.

He looked at Elijah and from the look on his face he realized that he was thinking the same thing. Their eyes met and they nodded. Hayley looked at them and asked "isn't it dangerous?"

"Love, we are going to meet our parents. What is so dangerous about that?" Klaus said jokingly

"Very funny" Hayley replied sarcastically.

Elijah ignored this exchange between them and asked "will we be needing any weapons?"

Before Klaus could say anything Hayley said firmly "You both are NOT going there without weapons"

Klaus smiled and said "don't worry love, we cannot be killed that easily"

Before she could stop herself the words were out "This smug attitude might just get you killed sooner than you think".

Klaus laughed and said "if I didn't know better, that sounds like a concern, love" and then he went out leaving her standing awkwardly with Elijah looking at her.

He came back with the stake and the bone knife. He offered both of them to Elijah to select. Elijah took bone knife from him.

As they entered the grave yard they spotted Davina with Esther chanting on something. On closer look Klaus realized that they were the moonlight stones. He looked sideways at Elijah who was looking at him and then with determination they both walked towards them.

Esther spotted them and said "My sons. Come"

Klaus asked Davina "what are you doing Davina?"

Davina said hatefully "None of your business Klaus. What are you doing here? You should not come here"

"It is alright Davina" Esther replied in the calm and sweet voice that always made Hayley want to slap her.

"Hello Finn" Elijah said as he saw him walking towards them.

"Elijah" Finn acknowledged his brother and stood next to his mother obediently.

Klaus laughed and said "such obedience Finn. You always were an obedient little puppy. 1000 years have not changed you much"

At his words Finn lifted his finger making Klaus chock. To Elijah's and Hayley's horror blood started sputtering out of his mouth. Elijah made a move towards Finn but he waved his finger indicating him to stop. Klaus was on his knees now with blood coming out of his mouth. Hayley knelt near him, put a hand on his back and said harshly "stop it"

"Why? Why would I want to do that?" Finn asked innocently walking toward Klaus.

He sat down on his feet opposite Klaus and sneered at him. he said "I will pay you back for each day that you kept me that coffin"

"Finn if you don't stop that right now I will put his knife in your heart" Elijah said in a calm cool voice.

"You both are an embarrassment to the family you know. Mother is right. I wish I could just burry you alive but mother has plans for you" Finn stood up and said to them. There was so much hatred on his face that Hayley couldn't believe that anyone could hate their sibling that much.

Esther said "Finn".

On hearing his mother's firm voice Finn reluctantly stepped back. As he stepped back Klaus could feel his breathing coming back. He stood up realizing that Hayley was holding his arm. She followed his gaze and it hit her too. She let go of it immediately.

Suddenly out of blue a fire erupted on the grave on which stones were kept and as the flame rose higher, the stones charred right in front of their eyes.. Everyone looked at that with stunned expressions. They looked around in bewilderment and spotted the source of fire started.

"You" Davina stared at Kaleb and Enzo.

Esther walked to them and said "so you are the new witch in the town. I was wondering who it is that is keeping a tab on me"

Kaleb said "that is me"

Esther stared at Enzo for a few seconds and then she smiled and said "welcome back Kol"

Klaus and Elijah exchanged quick glances and then everything started to make sense, Enzo's helping them in the past as they heard him say "I wish I could say the same to you mother"

"So my weak pathetic sons stand against me again. Too bad Rebekah is not here to see the loving family tear apart" she turned to Klaus and said "I imagine that she is taking care of your daughter"

Klaus felt her grabbing his arm. He patted her hand and said "you will never be able to find them"

Esther laughed and said "Niklaus you underestimate the strength of magic. Cloaking spells are not difficult to break you know"

She then strode away from them but then turned and said "I never imagined that I will hate someone as I hated his father but I guess I was wrong. You are the biggest mistake of my life"

Hayley could feel Klaus shaking with anger under her hand's touch.

Klaus controlled the bubbling anger and then he moved in a lighting speed and grabbed the stone head stone from the nearby grave and threw it in Finn's direction at lighting speed. Finn was not expecting it, the speed with which the slab hit him made him fly a little distance and fall on the ground but he stood up immediately and as he began to heal right in front of them he said with clenched teeth "I will kill you daughter myself if it is the last thing I have to do"

And then he walked away. Klaus turned around and stared at Elijah who was just speechless with everything that happened.

Elijah shook his head to clear it and then walked to Enzo and said "welcome back Kol. No better time to come back. I want to know everything about how you came back right now".

Klaus could feel her eyes on him and he ignored them. He didn't want to see the reaction of all of this, his mother's confession about him and her fear for their daughter's life in her eyes. He took a deep breath and while ignoring the hurt that his mother's words had caused him he walked to Kaleb and Enzo and said to Kaleb a bit aggressively "You have an hidden agenda and I need to know everything before I start trusting you again" then he turned to Kol and said "wouldn't it have been easier if you have told us who you were to understand why you were helping us?"

"No" Kol said with a smirk.

Klaus turned to Kaleb and said "I suppose you are responsible for bringing him back"

"Yes" Kaleb said "and before you ask 'why' then like Elijah said No better time to come back Kol" Klaus said to him and said "I will see you at compound later tonight" and then he walked away from them.

Kol looked at him leaving and the stationary Hayley still rooted at the spot where she has been standing for a while. He walked to her and said "We will not let her harm Hope"

Hayley looked at this newly discovered Original and smiled.

Klaus walked to the bayou and went straight to Jackson who was sitting on the steps outside his hut. Jackson stood up when he saw Klaus walking towards him.

He knew by the stance that Klaus was not in a good mood so he got himself ready for his new outburst. Klaus said to him "Jackson I need you and Cary to join forces against the wolves with rings that my mother has been distributing to them"

"Your mother?" Jackson got up and said in surprise

"Yes welcome to the Frankenstein family" Klaus said sarcastically

Jackson stood there looking at him for a while and then said "Klaus I don't think breaking packs and bringing two packs together is a good idea. You don't know pack's mentality because you have not lived a life of werewolf. Listen to what I am suggesting".

When Klaus didn't say anything "I am working on making them see light. If we can bring them to our side while keeping the ring that will benefit us most"

Klaus listened to him calmly and asked "do you think that will work?"

Jackson took a sigh of relief at his question and said "Yes with some hard work it can. After all pack is a strong family and their first instinct is to protect and stand by each other. I am going to suggest Cary the same thing but I think he is already up to it"

Klaus said harshly after considering it for a few seconds "Do that then but if that does not work I will kill every damn wolf with the ring"

Klaus went to Rouseaus's after that to drown himself in drinking.
