Chapter 14- "All the monsters got fangs"

Klaus shouted at the top of his lungs, knowing Hayley could hear him. He needed her to shout back, so he could eco locate her, since both of them were werewolves. It didn't take long. She shouted again. His eyes turning yellow, Caroline swearing she saw more of a wolf than a vampire in Klaus right now, he turned to her, and said, his voice deeper:

"Tell Elijah to track my scent. I need to save my daughter. I can't put you in any more danger, love."

Looking a her one last time, he ran to Hayley. Caroline ran back to the compound.

Klaus couldn't care less if people were seeing him running, or if he resembled a lot more his biological father now. The only thing on his mind now was that he needed to save his daughter and her mother. Finding her was easy. Setting her free would be the challenge.

He found her in the church, lying on the altar, trying to fight against the witches that held her back, Genevieve on the end of the table.

"You're all gonna die!" He shouted. But before he could even do anything, Monique just threw his body against the wall, and he couldn't move, though he really wanted to. "Genevieve, I'm gonna kill you, and no one, not even my queen is going to stop me!"

"I'm sorry Klaus." Said Genevieve. "Is the only way the ancestors will let me live."

Hayley's pregnancy had to be interrupted, all the chaos from the last few months, plus all the fighting from the past night had caused their daughter to come into the world faster. Hayley wanted to have her daughter in the bayou, and Klaus in a hospital where she'd be safe, but maybe it was the karma the Mikaelson family had to carry that doomed their heir to be born at the altar of a church after a vampire and werewolf massacre, on the hands of a witch. Klaus had also been born at the hands of a witch, the witch Ayanna, him, and all of his siblings, except the one he had lost before he was even born. Klaus most definitely did not want the same fate to hold his daughter.

"I will bathe in your blood and drink it with my queen!" He said.

"I'd like to see you try." Said Monique.

The more Klaus tried to fight, the stronger the restraints holding him back got. Elijah wasn't showing up. He couldn't have brought Caroline here, she would've died. He was helpless.

He watched in agony as Hayley gave birth, her screams forever engraved in his mind. It wasn't until he heard another cry that his heart for the second time in his eternal life, the first had been when Caroline told him she loved him, seemed to be more alive than ever.

"Can I…Can I hold her?" Asked Hayley weakly. Monique was about to answer when Genevieve gave Hayley her baby.

"So beautiful, my hope…" Hayley said, kissing her forehead. Klaus started to cry. He wanted to kiss his daughter, he wanted to hold her, take care of her, protect her, but he couldn't. Hayley looked at him. "Look what we made." She said.

"My littlest wolf." Said Klaus, as weakly as her.

As quickly as it had begun, Monique ripped the baby from Hayley's arm, who couldn't hold her daughter back, and the witches left. Before closing the door behind her, Genevieve turned to Klaus and said:

"I'm sorry, I truly am"

The restrains were finally out of Klaus. He fell to the ground, breaking some of his bones.

Klaus got up, healing himself, going to Hayley who had passed out. It was only when he came close to her that he realized. She wasn't breathing, and her heart wasn't beating.

Elijah, Elena, and Caroline got to the church, but it was too late. Klaus was sitting with his back leaning against the altar, holding Hayley's body, his mouth stained with blood. He had tried resuscitating her both with blood and massaging her heart, but it didn't work.

"Klaus?" Said Caroline, kneeling in front of him.

"They took my daughter, the witches. They took her from her mother's womb and there's nothing I could do about it. I couldn't protect her, I couldn't protect any of them." Said Klaus, looking at the ground.

"You can still save her." Said Caroline. "We know where they're going, Marcel found out where they're keeping Bonnie and Davina."

"I don't understand why they'd take my daughter if they could've taken me. I'd gladly take her place."

"Niklaus." Said Elijah. "They want to sacrifice her, that has always been their goal. That's how they want to take us, this family, your family down. We need you to get up, brother, because the three of us are ready to follow you to the depths of hell to bring your daughter back."

Klaus looked at the three people standing in front of him.

Elena Gilbert, the doppelganger of the first woman he had ever loved, and the blood his mother had used to create the vampires. He had gone to Mystic Falls in search of her to break his course and her father had given his life so she wouldn't become a vampire. Klaus didn't understand why would John Gilbert make that kind of sacrifice until now. He would've gladly died if it meant that his hope lived.

Elijah, his older brother. Klaus hadn't been born a witch like Elijah was, and his mother's explanation to Mikael was that not every kid of theirs would be a witch and she was confirmed right when Rebekah was born without powers. Klaus wasn't a witch because he had a werewolf gene and his father somehow knew and abused him. Elijah always took care of him, even connecting himself to his little brother so he wouldn't take the burden alone. Klaus was so close to his full humanity now, and Elijah wasn't about to give up.

Caroline Forbes, his sweet Caroline, his queen. He had been fond of her and had fallen hard the first time he had laid eyes on her, even before he had made his presence in Mystic Falls known to everyone.

Mystic Falls, Virginia, 2009

"Klaus was in the Mystic Grill enjoying a glass of bourbon by himself. The spell his witches had cast on him was enough for him to remain unknown for the rest of the night, even from his own brother, the witches, and the vampires of the town. He liked hiding inside someone else's body but he wanted one last night for himself.

He saw the doppelganger have fun with one blonde girl. Not girl, woman. He was captivated by her beauty - the way her hair was styled, her delicate features, and the way her eyes sparkled when she smiled.

He immediately knew that this was the woman he had been looking for in his eternal life and he had found her in the flesh. He wanted to tell her how beautiful she was, but he waited for her, now he was just looking at her in awe.

He admired her poise and confidence as she talked to the doppelganger with a warm smile. Even as he felt his heart racing, Klaus just couldn't take his eyes away from her and he felt a sudden connection as if she was someone he had already known.

From then on, Klaus felt like he was in another world when he saw Caroline. He was mesmerized by every aspect of her - her voice, the way she laughed, the way she looked, and even the scent of her perfume. She had a special kind of beauty that captivated him and Klaus knew that one day he would love this woman forever.

The doppelganger said goodbye and Caroline looked at him. Smiling, she walked towards the bar and took a seat beside the original.

"It's not polite to stare you know?" She said.

"I couldn't help but be captivated by your beauty, love." He said, turning to face her.

"You're not from around here, are you?" She asked her hand on the counter, mere inches away from the one that was holding his cup.

"No, I'm not. What about you, love?"

"Born and raised in Mystic Falls." She said.

"You've never got out of here?"

"No, never"

"It's a shame. A beautiful woman like you deserves to see the world." He said, letting go of his cup, his hand approaching hers.

"There's no one to take me."

"Oh, I know a guy." He said, his hand finally touching hers. It felt like an electric touch went through both of them. Neither one of them had felt that before. Though Caroline was on her off period with Tyler, the werewolf couldn't make her feel like this. She barely knew this strange man, and yet, her body was already burning for him, and the way his eyes looked at her, he felt the same. "He could take you anywhere you'd like love."

"And what do I have to do to get him to take me?" She asked, her face getting closer to his, feeling the heat emanating from his body. Klaus just smiled, grabbed her hand, and guided her to the restroom. If he could, he'd run with her. Locking the door behind her, he gently pushed her against it giving her a chance to back out. She just smiled, putting her hands behind his neck. Klaus smiled.

Klaus had been wanting to kiss Caroline ever since he saw her. He was drawn to her beauty and charm and wanted to show her how much he desired her. As they stood there in the bathroom, the heat between them was palpable. Their lips pressed together as their tongues explored each other, taking in their every taste.

The emotions cascading through them were intense. His leg moved between hers, surprising her by the sudden movement, and she realized what he was doing. Tyler had never let her do this, though she always imagined it. She started to move her hips in circles as she rubbed against his thigh, pleasure coursing through her body and her moans filling up the bathroom. Caroline leaned into his embrace. He kept his leg firmly in place as he kissed her harder, stroking her back as her passionate movements increased.

She felt her orgasm coming and gasped against his mouth, her body shaking with pleasure until her head dropped back against the door. Nothing but the sound of their heavy breathing filled the bathroom afterward as they stood still, their bodies pressed together.

"He can take me anywhere he'd like." She said.

"Oh love, we're not done." He said. Gently carrying her to the sink, he took her underwear off, putting it in his back pocket, opening his pants, and letting them drop, he got closer to her, lifting her skirt.

Caroline felt the cool porcelain against their hot skin as Klaus proceeded to enter her slowly, teasing her along the way with intense sensation. She was so caught up in the feeling that when Klaus started thrusting faster and harder, taking her beyond the brink of orgasm, she let out a squeal of ecstasy like never before.

As they moved in sync, Caroline's body became a living canvas that Klaus explored with his hands and his tongue. His movements were divine, and she felt her body trembling with pleasure. His steady thrusts and skillful touches made her feel each sensation magnified. Caroline clawed at his back, her groans urging him on.

With each thrust, he seemed to go deeper and deeper inside her. At the peak of her pleasure, Caroline released the most passionate essence onto him before succumbing to her euphoric pleasure, Klaus quickly following. A flood of contentment descended on them both as they lay in each other's embrace.

"Who are you?" She asked him, holding his face.

"I can't tell you yet love. Nobody knows I'm here. And I'm so terribly sorry for doing this." He looked her deep in her eyes, compelling her. "You had fun with your friend tonight and just made out with someone from out of town on the grill."

"I had fun with my friend tonight and made out with someone from out of town on the grill." She repeated.

Kissing her one last time, he let her go."

Of course, he had made her remember that and explained why he made her forget and she understood. He knew there and then she was his queen and he'd move worlds for her.

Kissing Hayley's forehead, he said:

"Little wolf, I promise you I will bring our daughter back home and I will kill whoever stands in my way." Putting her lifeless body on the altar again he stood up. Holding Caroline's hand, he walked out of the church, being followed by Elena and Elijah.

After 20 minutes, they arrived at the cemetery. Klaus stops dead in his tracks, focusing his hearing on his daughter's heartbeat. He hears it, all the way down in the cemetery.

"I know where she is." He says. The three vampires follow the hybrid's lead, and they find the youngest Mikaelson lying on another altar. Monique and the other witch from the harvest are chanting an incantation while Genevieve holds a knife up in the air.

"No!" Screams Elijah and Klaus at the same time. Monique and the other witch divert their efforts to the originals and their partners, making the sunlight burn them. Elena screams in pain and Elijah covers her with his suit jacket, growling at the witches. Klaus doesn't mind that he's burning. The witches try to force him to turn into a wolf, but he doesn't budge. Klaus had one purpose: to save his hope, his daughter.

He feels his bones breaking, one by one, but there's nothing like the rage of a Mikaelson when they protect their own. Breathing deeply, Caroline grabs Elena from Elijah.

"Help him!" She says. Elijah gives Elena to Caroline and they go hide in the shadows. Elijah takes the pain of being burned and holds his brother's hands. They look at each other, both smiling wickedly.

They run to the witches of the harvest, breaking each of their necks.

"No!" Said Genevieve desperately.

"You should've stayed away." Said Hayley, showing up behind her breaking the hand that was holding the knife, hearing the ginger witch scream. Hayley grabbed her daughter from the altar, cradling her in her chest.

"Niklaus, I believe you said the only reason you wouldn't kill Genevieve was because your queen did not deserve to walk over her corpse," Elijah said, as both brothers corned Genevieve.

"I believe so brother," Klaus said.

"Well, your queen is not here." Said Elijah. "And if there's one thing I know our family keeps, brother, is our word."

"It is indeed." Said Klaus. "I told you I wouldn't hesitate on a third-time witch." And with that, Klaus proceeds to keep his promise. Putting his hand inside her chest, he said, echoing what his brother said many moons ago "No one messes with the Mikaelsons and lives, no one" By the time his hand was out of her body, he was carrying her heart.

Cleaning the blood away on his shirt, he turned to Hayley.

"Can I…Can I…?" He asked. Hayley smiled and nodded. When Hayley died, she died with her daughter's blood in her system and it turned her into a hybrid, just like Klaus. But the difference is, that she needed to drink her daughter's blood to finish her transition.

Hayley gave him his daughter. Klaus held her, so gently and tenderly, as if she'd break at any moment.

"My daughter…" He said, smiling. "My littlest wolf" Tears fell from his eyes. Holding his daughter now, he was sure he would be better than Mikael, he'd protect her, save her, and never let any harm ever come to her. She was the most beautiful creature he'd ever seen, and he loved her more than anything in the world. Leaning his head down, he kissed her forehead, making a silent promise to himself and her that he'd always be there for her and nothing and no one would keep them apart.

Later at the compound after setting Davina and Bonnie free, Hayley drank a drop of her daughter's blood, but they couldn't keep her. She wasn't safe in New Orleans, not with all the enemies she had automatically inherited by being a Mikaelson.

So Klaus made the hardest decision he ever had to.

The town was led to believe that the wolves that died, along with the vampires, had died as a result of a gas leak and were holding a vigil for the victims. Compelling Marcel to find them a stillborn baby so they could have a symbolic burial, Elijah, Elena, and Hayley went to the vigil with a plaque that read "Baby Mikaelson". Leaving the plaque, Hayley came back to the arms of Elena and Elijah who hugged her as she cried her soul out.

On the edge of the town, Klaus was outside of his car, holding his daughter. Caroline was waiting by it.

A red bright car stopped a few miles away and Rebekah got out of the it.

"It was about time you picked my brother over the Lockwood boy, Caroline." She said. Caroline just smiled.

Klaus looked at his sister, who was in awe of her niece.

"She's so beautiful Nik, just like her mother. Perhaps there is a god after all."

"Oh but she's got a hint of the devil in her eyes, that's all me." He said. "Rebekah, despite our differences, there is no one else in this world that I would trust my daughter with."

"I'll protect her with my life Nick."

"Tell her stories about us, about our human life."

"I will brother."

"I love you my daughter, Hope Mikaelson."

"That's a beautiful name, Nik," Rebekah said, kissing her brother on the face, before reaching out for Hope. Klaus gave her his daughter, feeling as though a part of him was being taken with her.

Before Rebekah got into her car, she turned to Caroline and said:

"You take care of my brother, please?"

"With my life."

Turning her back, Rebekah got into her car and left. Klaus turned back and hugged Caroline, immediately crying. She hugged him back. She knew it wasn't easy for him to be this vulnerable but he was always like this with her, even before they got together. She wouldn't let him fall, not right now, not ever.

Back at the compound, after giving Hayley blood and putting her to sleep, Elijah went to the balcony where Elena was. Seeing his brother with a daughter of his own reminded him just how lonely eternal life could be.

"There you are." He said. She was still wearing his suit jacket. She turned to him, bringing him close to her by his waist.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

"Seeing Niklaus with Hope reminded me just how I'll never be able to fulfill one of my human dreams."

"You wanted to be a father."

"Even before I'd even met Tatia. But everything changed when I turned into a vampire."

"Did you know I didn't want to become a vampire? My change was something I couldn't control either."

"But you came to terms with it."

"Yes, but it took me a long time." She kissed his face, right next to his mouth. "And now I'll get to spend the rest of my eternal life with you." Elijah smiled and kissed her.

The Mikaelson had won the French Quarter war. Klaus was King and Caroline was Queen. But nothing is as it seems.

In the woods, near the cemetery, the fourth girl from the harvest ceremony was looking at the Originals witch memorial plaque. Another warlock showed up beside her.

"Come on my son, we have much to do." She said, walking away, the warlock following her.
