Our Inner Demons {Klayley Sequel}

The Trials

[Klaus]

The car ride to the cemetery was silent. Until Elijah spoke up. "Niklaus. What is it Brother? Why are you so angry that Hayley is missing? She's a friend of mine and I don't like it when she is missing." I sounded like a computer. Why couldn't I just tell him we love each other and we had sex? "Niklaus, I know you love her. I've seen he way you too look at each other but this is different.

Did something happen between you two? I- yes." I sighed. "What was it? We um...," I was suddenly nervous under my brother's watch. "We had sex." I said and turned to him. He seemed frozen. "We will speak of this when we get Hayley back. Elijah-,"

"Niklaus don't test me. I will stop this car and hurt you." He threatened and I nodded silently. When we got to the cemetery, the gates were open but we couldn't go in. A witch, a young one, appeared before us. "You must be Klaus. Genevieve said you'd be coming. Where is she? You must do trials to find the one you seek. What type of trials do you speak of?

You must use your heart and mind to guide you through. If neither can agree then you will not find out where she lies. Do you accept the trials?" I looked at Elijah then Marcel. When we were in agreement, I turned to the girl.

"We accept."

The girl was gone and we were inside the cemetery. Not really caring about what was going on, I walked forward and the other two followed. "So do you have plan Niklaus or do you just wish to wander aimlessly?"

I caught sight of something and sped to it. It was Hayley. She was laid out on the floor. "Hayley." I breathed and reached down to pick her up but she disappeared as soon as a touched her. "What kind of magic is this?" Elijah asked behind me. "Hey guys," Marcel called us and I looked up at him. He stood up on a crypt looking over the cemetery. "What is it Marcel? They tricked us. What?" I asked bitterly.

"This isn't some trial. It's a damn maze."

[Third Person P.O.V]

Hayley laid asleep on a stone slab in a tomb with Genevieve standing above her with her hands on both sides of her forehead. Another body, Jaiden Reverena laid on the floor next to them both. Monique, a resurrected witch waited impatiently.

"What is Genevieve waiting for? All we need to do is simple. Take Hayley as ours so we can birth her child then sacrifice it for power. We don't have much time.

Monique what Genevieve is doing is not easy. And if we make one mistake Hayley and her child will lose their life. We can't let that happen." An older witch explained and Monique sighed. "Fine. But what about the Mikealsons? What about them them? This maze is designed for them to get angry and lash out at each other.

They won't make it without tearing each other apart.

[Hayley]

I stepped back, a hand on my stomach. "What are you doing here? He's here to help? Help? He tried to kill me. I only wished to return the favor." Jaiden stepped closer. "Take another step and I'll hurt you. Come on Hayley. You're pregnant. You won't do anything.

You really want to test that?" I backed away to my nightstand and broke my light bulb. Picking up the shards, I threw one at Jaiden and one at Genevieve. They disappeared from their spot in the room. I knew it. This is all fake. No way it's morning when I was taken in the evening. I picked up a glass shard myself and stuck it into my palm.

Wincing a little I dug deeper until I was no one it that world and I was in the real one. I almost sat up if it weren't for the straps holding me. The room was empty dave for tow guards. The straps were leather I could break them but that would cause attention. I struggled for a moment before leaning into my hand and grabbing a hair pin. This is so cliché but it'll have to do for now since I can't do anything else.

Taking the metal, I rubbed it against the leather until it broke. Then, I leaned over and tore of the other one before tearing off the last two. I stood silently and was about to walk out when I heard them talking.

"She shouldn't have been able to do that. She must have figured out we weren't real. Or she didn't either way she isn't going to wake up for a while. Might as well do the spell again. No we need rest. When the connection broke it tired me out. It'll take time for me to get back in again.

Secure her somewhere else." And I think that's my cue. I ran and hid, holding my breath and stopping my heart so no one could hear it. "Where is she?! She was here I swear! Well go find her you idiots!" I listened as they came closer and saw one come next to my hiding place. Peeking my head out to make sure I was alone, I grabbed the guy and snapped his neck. He fell to the ground and the other turned to me.

I jumped on him and snapped his neck. I looked and saw more coming this way. They saw me. Damn. I got up and ran out the door into the night. I heard them coming closer and quickly dashed left. "Now to get out of here." I ran towards where I thought the gates were and stopped when I got there.

"Klaus' car?" I asked myself panting. He's here? He must have noticed I went missing. I need to find him. Now.

Turning around I went to run back into the cemetery I gasped.

"Marlen?"
