I didn't know what to say. So I just walked away from Gia. I need to clear my own head. What I really want to do is talk to Hayley and explain everything. But I know that won't happen for now. So I just went into the woods to clear my head.

When I got back to the house, I was clearheaded and everything. But, I still wanted to talk to Hayley. So, I hope she is back. I went inside to see everyone doing their own thing. But I didn't see Hayley.

"She picked up a shift at the Grill." Matt told me. I knew he didn't have to do that. But I'm happy he did.

*Hayley's POV*

When I was on my walk to clear my nerves and everything, I ended up at the Grill. I saw they were busy. So, I asked my boss if he needed an extra set of hands. I ended up picking up a shift. I didn't care; I needed the extra cash.

I usually work behind the bar only if they didn't need me on the floor as a waitress. Today I was jumping from both. When it slows down, I will go back behind the bar. I liked being behind the bar. It was something different.

"Hayley, you got a new table that just came in." One of the other waitresses informed me.

"Thanks." I said, heading to the table. I then saw Elijah sitting there.

"Hello, my name is Hayley. I will be your waitress tonight. What can I get you for a drink?" I said to him. I have to say that always, even if you serve your friends and family. It gets annoying sometimes.

"I will take a glass of water." He told me.

I then walked away from him. Of course, out of any of them, he would be the one to show up here. Even though I don't want to talk to him right now. I wonder if any of the other girls would switch sections with me. No, I can't do that. I would be a coward if I did that.

For the whole time he was here, I only made small talk. I know he wants to talk about what happened earlier. But I wasn't ready to talk about it. So, I stayed away from his table as much as possible. I was so happy when my break came.

I went out to the alley next to the building. I needed to get some fresh air. But I knew Elijah would come out here to talk to me. It was the only time I was alone. I then heard footsteps coming. Like I said.

"Hayley?" I heard someone say. But it wasn't Elijah. I turned to see a woman standing not that far from me.

"Do I know you?" I asked her. I started to move away; I wanted to distance myself from her.

"No. But I know you." She told me.

I was so close to the door. So, relative to safety. I went for it. I then got this shooting pain in my head. I went right to the ground. I grabbed my head. What was this woman doing to me?

"You thought you could get away. Hide and start new. We will always find you. We will get our way. This child will die." She told me. I couldn't say anything to her. The pain was too much. I tried to crawl away, but I didn't get far.

"This child will only bring pain and torture. I have to do this to protect my kind." She was saying. She was a witch.

I wanted to say something, but I couldn't. The words wouldn't come out. So I just braced myself for what she was going to do. But nothing happened. I then looked up to see her stand there, stoned face. Her face was blank. I then saw her fall over. And I saw Elijah standing there with her heart in his hand.

"No one hurts or goes after my family and thinks they can get away with it." He said, dropping the heart to the ground. He then started to clean his hands with a handkerchief he had.

He then put his hand out to me to help me up. He then asked,

"Are you alright?"

"Yeah. Just a headache." I told him.

"I think we should head home." He suggested to me. He's right. We should.

"Just let me tell my boss I'm leaving." I told him.

"Okay. I will be out front." He related to me.

I then headed inside. Luckily for me, it was starting to slow down, so my boss wouldn't give me a hard time about wanting to go home early.

"Hey, boss. I'm not feeling that well. Do you think I can head out early?" I asked him.

"Yeah. We should be fine now. Thanks for helping during the rush. Feel better, Hayley." He told me.

"No problem. Thanks, boss." I said, leaving. I clocked out and grabbed my things. I then met Elijah out front.

We then walked back to the house. They walked in silence which I was alright with. My head was still hurting a bit anyways. When we got back, everyone looked at Elijah and me like they knew something had happened.

"Another witch tried to attack Hayley." Elijah told them all.

"Are you all right Hayley?" Davina asked me.

"I'm fine. Just a small headache." I told her truthfully.

"And the witch?" Klaus asked Elijah.

"Token care of. Don't worry, brother." Elijah disclosed to him.

"Hayley, what about you go rest? I will bring you some tea soon." Bonnie suggested to me. I nodded in agreement. I headed to my room.

*Bonnie's POV*

When Hayley was out of the room, the grill questioning started. I know no one wanted to ask in front of Hayley to worry her or anything.

"So, how many witches are here to try to kill or harm Hayley and the baby?" Matt asked.

"We don't know. But it doesn't matter. Hayley isn't safe here anyway. We need to head back to New Orleans. I will not be leaving without her and my child." Klaus said.

"Well, I don't know if she wants to go back there. She has a nice life here. But, on the other hand, she may want to stay." Jeremy commented to the Mikaelsons.

"Well, everyone stopped before this even started to get out of hand. This is Hayley's choice. We can't make it for." I said to everyone. I could see the argument just starting to form. I was going to bite that in the butt.

Everyone looked at me, surprised by my comment. But everyone knew I was right. No one argued against me on it. I was about to go check on Hayley when we heard yelling. It was coming from upstairs. It had to be Hayley. We all ran upstairs to her.
