AN: Sorry for the long wait guys. I had a ton of stuff going on. Again I haven't watched in awhile, but now that the seasons over maybe I'll catch up and things will be more with canon, but for now it's just what I see happening.
librocks: I don't see Klaus as trusting Dahlia either, but he knows Dahlia is not going to kill Hope and doesn't want Hope to turn out like Freya. Hopefully this chapter will help with how I see Klaus and Dahlia.
As soon as Klaus walks back into the crypt he's hit with a headache.
"What did you do?" Dahlia demands after stopping. Klaus sees Hope in the spot he left her and goes to pick her up. Dahlia doesn't stop him, though she's still seething.
"I didn't do anything," Klaus responds picking Hope up..
"Yes you did I could feel it, I couldn't-," Dahlia stops.
"Yes you couldn't what?" Klaus raises an eyebrow. Dahlia hits him with another headache, but he keeps hold of Hope and pushes it away.
"Judging from your reaction, I'm guessing it was you who tried to do something you shouldn't have. I just came prepared. I figured even you couldn't link yourself with tainted blood," Klaus states.
"You don't interfere! That was our deal!" she exclaims.
"Yes well I tainted her blood before we made that deal and I won't interfere with you helping her, linking her to you and making yourself more powerful does not help my daughter," he replies calmly. Dahlia goes to hurt him again, but Klaus adjusts Hope and quickly pulls something out of his pocket. She stops.
"I got Finn back and weakened her power for you," Klaus dangles the necklace near Hope who reaches out to grab it.
"Don't," Dahlia warns. Klaus stops. Hope from grabbing it.
"Ah yes because not only is Finn's power in here, it's also a power source from Freya to you, which she doesn't know about. Which explains why you didn't want me to take this, just weaken her with the knife, cutting her off from the magic allowing you more. Good thing I did both. Now if Hope touches this all that power goes to a baby whom you aren't linked to," Klaus grins and then places the pendant in Hope's hand.
Rebekah and Elijah after getting Freya on a couch and Hayley and Jackson moved wait for the three of them to wake. Jackson is the first to wake and quickly looks for Hayley. When he sees her unconscious next to him he turns to Elijah and Rebekah.
"What'd he do to Hayley?" he asks.
"It's just a snapped neck, she'll be fine soon," Rebekah answers.
"Did you figure out where he's keeping Hope?" Jackson asks. Elijah goes to answer, but Hayley starts to wake up. She shoots up onto her feet looking around.
"Where is he? I'm going to kill him," Hayley exclaims. Jackson stands and holds onto her hand to calm her.
"He's gone and I'm afraid we have a bigger problem than we thought," Elijah tells them.
"How could it get worse?! My baby's gone! And what the hell is she doing, we'll need her too," Hayley gestures to Freya.
"Yes well it seems Niklaus has acted rashly," Elijah begins slowly. Rebekah cuts in.
"Nik's pissed worse than I've ever seen him and being his impulsive self, he's working with Dahlia, that's who Hope is with and he stabbed Freya with something and she collapsed," Rebekah explains.
"You're telling me, he's working with that bitch who's been trying to get my baby, why in the hell would he do that?" Hayley growls.
"She must've promised him something or she's somehow manipulating him," Elijah states.
"The three of you need to go to the covens, maybe if enough of them hit her with spells, someone will get something on finding Hope," he continues.
"The witches hate us, they won't help," Hayley responds.
"Plead with them as parents, guilt them with their past plots against Hope, scare them with Dahlia and Klaus, anything. I'll stay here, wait for Freya and we'll figure something out," Elijah answers. Rebekah nods and heads out with the couple. Elijah grabs his phone and some books. He searches through the books for something, glancing at his phone every so often. Eventually he gives in, picks it up and dials. It rings for a moment before someone answers.
"What do you need Elijah?" a feminine voice answers.
"Camille, it seems I may need your influence today. Niklaus somehow undaggered himself and has now decided to ally himself with Dahlia after taking Hope," Elijah informs her.
"He what? How'd he even do that? And why would he go to Dahlia?" Camille asks.
"We're not sure how and he went to her because he's angry and lashing out. Now I have to wait for Freya to wake up, but I need you to talk to Niklaus and makes sure he doesn't make more rash decisions," Elijah says.
"He's not going to talk to me like this," Camille argues.
"He will, he's told you about more at worse times, he just needs to have someone on his side," Elijah states.
"I can try," Camille sighs. Elijah thanks her and hangs up. Suddenly there's a gasping sound. Freya sits up. Elijah quickly goes to her.
"Something's happening with my magic," she gasps touching where her pendant used to sit.
