Understand? Understand? I was carrying his impossible miracle baby and I was pretty sure I had done enough understanding at that point. I threw myself off the bed. My face looked deadly. I wore something comfortable and went down. Elijah was on the phone talking to someone impatiently. "I need you here Rebekah, we need you and most importantly she needs you. She is surrounded by men" I rolled my eyes and sat down on the couch. Klaus was in his room talking to someone. He came out eventually "Ok Marcel, I'll be there in an hour or so". He hung up and gave me a look. I looked away and he slammed the door shut behind him.
The next few days I hardly saw him. He barely came home and when he did he was drunk off his arse. "He has to be Hayley. That's how Marcel lives" Elijah reassured me. I shook my head in disbelief.
The next morning I woke up earlier than usual. Klaus was still asleep, I could hear his breathing through the door crack. I went down and saw Elijah in the kitchen staring out. "I want to get out Elijah" I said before anything else. Elijah looked at me. "Good morning to you too Hayley". "I want to get out Elijah" I repeated. "I have to" Elijah shook his head. "Klaus will not allow that to happen" "Oh come on! Why does he only wake up when he has to destroy my life? He doesn't care how I am or what I am doing as long as I am at home as he orders! I won't allow him to destroy my life like this!" "He is concerned about the baby, Hayley" "And what makes you think I am not? If I stay inside a while longer the baby will die of suffocation" I snapped. "Watch your tone, little wolf. It is not safe outside and that is it". I turned around to face him. He was shirtless, obviously just woken up by our argument. "I demand to go out" I said once again. "And we both said no. It isn't safe" "I'll go out with Elijah. He'll protect me" he looked at Elijah and shook his head. I looked back at him as well. "Elijah please." I muttered. "He is the baby's father, Hayley" he said before he left the room. I felt dizzy. I held on the chair beside me. I felt like crying. "Elijah doesn't go out with girls randomly. It'll attract attention. "That is such a lame excuse!" I yelled out. "I'll find a girl to act as your friend, who can protect you, love" he said and I looked up at him with shock. "Are you serious?" "We'll act as if we haven't met, but give me time little wolf, I need to find a girl I trust. Unfortunately my friends are mainly men and they are all connected to Marcel". "Sophie" I said softly but he shook his head "She's a witch, he never trusts witches or their friends". I looked down and started to think. "What girl will be strong enough to protect me, if she's not a witch or anything?"
Just then I heard I girl laugh. A blonde girl stood at the kitchen door, obviously listening to our conversation. "I believe I can be of assistance" she said enthusiastically.
