Hayley, Tyler, and Rebekah just left to go to the bayous. I think that is a brilliant idea. Hayley needs some time away from here. Maybe so do I. Somewhere I can throw my thoughts. I know just where to go. But before I left, I was stopped by Elena, Bonnie, and Caroline.

"How may I help you, ladies?" I asked them.

"It's more we can help you. Hayley is telling you the truth. Gia said all those things to her." Caroline told me.

"Yes, Hayley did mention that you three saw everything." I expressed.

"We did. Whatever that Gia girl is saying, don't believe it, Elijah." Elena stated.

"Why would Hayley lie to you? She cares for you too much to lose you." Bonnie informed me.

"Thanks, you three, for telling all this. I have a lot to think over. If you don't mind, I will do that." I recurred them.

I then left the compound. But before I left, I went to talk to my brother Klaus. Letting him know I will not be able to be reached if he needs me to come to where this all started. If anyone is looking for me, tell them that.

*Hayley's POV*

After we hung out at the bayous for a bit, we headed home. I know the pack wants me to stay. Sometimes I do too. But I can't do that to the Mikaelsons. They were still my family too.

When we returned to the compound, I hid a bit. I want to relax before anyone wants something from me. So I usually would hide in Elijah's study. But I don't know if that was a bright idea.

But my feet took me there anyway. I looked inside to see if Elijah or Gia was in there. I quietly slipped in and shut the door behind me. I know Elijah won't mind because I always did it.

I was lying on his couch, reading one of the books he had in the room. Just then, the door opened. I thought it was Elijah. But it was Gia.

"I thought Elijah would be in here." She said.

"No, just me." I told her.

"I have been looking for him everywhere. But, unfortunately, no one has seen him." She told me.

"Have you asked Klaus? He usually knows where Elijah is." I implied to her.

"Yes. All Klaus told me was Elijah was where it all began. So, I thought he was somewhere in his place." She told me.

I know where he is. He doesn't mean where it all began for them. But where it all started for everything with us. I then said,

"Gia, I'm going to tell you where he is. He is in the cemetery where he first met me."

"Why is there?" She asked me. I could tell she was annoyed about that.

"I don't know. Maybe you should ask Elijah." I advised her.

She then left. I don't think she would still find it even if I told her. I know Elijah told her the story of how this all began. I got up and went to see Freya or Rebekah. I will take one of them or both if I'm going there.

When I found them, I asked if one or both could come with me to the cemetery. Rebekah and Freya didn't ask questions, and they both joined me. I wanted to know what was going on in Elijah's mind, and this was the way to do it.

I know they were being nice by not asking questions. But I can tell they want to ask so bad. I don't blame them. I would have liked to ask questions, too, if I was them. So, I am going to let them. I then said,

"Ask away. I know you two have questions, and you are trying to be nice not to ask. But it's alright. Ask away."

"Thank god. I thought I would explode if I didn't get to ask. So, why are we heading to the cemetery?" Rebekah questioned me.

"I'm not going to lie to you or not say everything. Elijah is hiding away in there. He is at the spot where all this started. I want to see what is going on." I answered her.

"You first met Elijah in the cemetery?" Freya asked.

"Yes. It was where the witches were keeping me hidden away from everyone." I informed her.

"Okay. Then why is my brother there of all places?" Freya questioned.

"Maybe he goes there to think. I don't know. But I have questions, and he has the answers." I told them.

I headed where the witches first kept me when we got to the cemetery. Where I first met Elijah. Walking to it, I started to remember that day how I felt when I first met him. I then saw the tomb. I stopped for a moment.

"We will stay out here." Rebekah recurred me.

I wasn't scared of Elijah. I didn't know what to say anymore. I thought I knew what to say, but standing here now, I don't. I took a deep breath and headed inside.

I saw Elijah sitting there on the bench where I once sat. He had his head in his hands. I don't even think he heard me come in. He must be really in thought.

"Elijah." I said to let him know I was here.

"Hayley, what are you doing out here?" He asked me. He was surprised to see me standing there. He probably thought Gia would come looking for him. She was in the wrong area probably.

"Gia was looking for you and said you would be where it all began. She didn't know where that was. I told her. But I'm here to see if you are okay." I informed him.

He gave me a small smile before saying anything to me. He then said,

"That is very nice of you. I'm fine. I just needed to sort a few things out in my mind. You know what? You helped me with that by coming here." He told me.

"I have. How?" I asked him, confused.

"By coming to check on me and remembering." He pointed out to me.

I still don't get it. But I am just going with it. I know I will figure it all out later. I hope.

"So, are you coming back anytime soon?" I asked him.

"I will be back later. Don't worry, my dear. All your questions will be answered sooner than you think." He advised.

"Alright. I will see you when you get home." I told him. I was about to head out when I wanted just one of my questions answered before I left. "Why here? Why did you come here to think?"

He looked at me for a while. I know he is probably thinking about his answer. He then said,

"Because this place was the place I thought would help me the most. Only a special few know about the meaning and everything. So, why not."
