NOSTALGIA

This aint that bad

::I nonetheless think if it were all alright, would you still look at me like that?, so sometimes I feel this ain't that bad.::

It was almost nighttime. Klaus entered Hayley's room and saw her already awake. As she saw him she gave him a small smile. He smiled back and," Well I think you had your rest, love. Now let's go."

Hayley gets dressed up in the clothes Klaus told were her's and approaches him in the living room. Klaus observed her every move. He always used to, secretly. He knew her very well even more than she knew herself. He didn't saw much change in her actions. After all, she was still the Hayley.

"Klaus!" Here she exclaimed. "Yes, love?"
"Are you just going to stay here or are we going out?"
He nodded and led her out.

Here they were walking on the streets. Hayley was in love with the awe of the city.

Klaus knew a witch who lived just the down alley. He had to make a ring for Hayley anyhow. He wouldn't let her burn again. They knocked on the door of a closed shop. A woman who Klaus believed was a witch opened the door.
"What do you want? Can't you see we are closed.?" Hayley was just silently observing them.
"A Daylight Ring" Klaus replied.
"Vampire" she pointed out. 'Yes now please let us in."
Surprisingly she let them in. The witch was starting at Hayley.

She then turned and looked at Klaus," You are the hybrid and as I recall she is mo-" before that which could say anything Klaus cut her off.
"Well, I guess you know all about me then make the ring otherwise you must be very familiar with my reputation." The witch nodded and did the spell for him.

Klaus wanted to compel the witch to forget that she ever saw Hayley but witches can't be compelled, unfortunately. So he simply headed out of the shop by holding Hayley's arm. There was just an elite restaurant a few shops ahead. They went in. He told Hayley to wait there after booking the table.

Klaus went back to the shop and knocked again. As she opened the door he barged in. He saw that the witch was trying some different spell.  He strangled the witch and said, " I get no pleasure in this but I have to. " The witch knowing it is her end she carves her nails into his arm. And does some spell, 'Sangre a sanguinem ibrido obitus'. And she dies.

Klaus doesn't think about what she said he just goes back to Hayley.

She smiles at him. She notices him walking so seriously towards her. His eyes showed worry. Looking at him she thought he must have really been someone more important. He smiles back at her.

Suddenly, Hayley asked, "Why did she call you a hybrid?" "Because I am, love. A wolf and a vampire. You were once too."
"What? How? What happened?"She asked being panic.  "Story for another time, little wolf." Fine." She said annoyed.

"Well, order something you would like." "No food here looks interesting. But I- I can hear liquids gushing down in people's throats."

"I think you need blood, Hayley. Come on I'll take you to someplace interesting."

They walk into a bar full and in the corner table spots a lonely man sitting. He tells Hayley to wait at the entrance. He then goes and compels the man to come to the back of the bar. He then lets Hayley do what her instincts tell her to.
