Our Inner Demons {Klayley Sequel}

The Path Of The Lost

[Rebekah P.O.V]

Something was wrong. Niklaus was gone for too long. Hayley still isn't back yet.

Against my better judgment, I called her. She answered. "Rebekah!" She says with fake enthusiasm. I furrow my eyebrows.

"Where are they?" I ask silently and Hayley's facade drops. She's turned off her humanity. Stupid girl.

"With me, ever so slowly getting closer to their doom," she says and I shake my head. Hayley glares. "Don't shake your head at me! You don't get to act like I didn't try to be perfect for your damn family. I tried and none of you wanted me. Freya proved it and I'm done trying. Jaiden loves me for who I am-,"

"And Klaus didn't?" Hayley was silent so I went on. "You loved each other. Through thr lies and everything. You have a daughter, Hayley." Her eyes darkened.

"Not anymore. Enjoy Hope for me Rebekah." She sounded bitter. She hung up and I lower my phone.

I can't leave her like this.

Hayley has been my sister, my best friend whenever I needed her but Freya had to say something. At her weakest, Freya decided to hit her where she knew it hurt. Hayley was rightfully angry but she was letting it control her.

I needed to get through.

"Freya!" I called, after moments of standing in the courtyard. Soon, Freya comes down with Hope, Keelin following. "Freya, our brothers didn't succeed." I state and Freya purses her lips.

"This is all my fault." She admitted, which I am surprised about. She was admitting to her truth.

I crossed my arms and nod. "Yes, it is. Because of you, Hayley has taken our brothers and turned off her humanity. Who knows what she has planned next. But it's not me you should apologize to." I smile and put my hand on her shoulder. "When we get her and our brothers back, tell her." Freya nods and from the corner of my eye, Keelin looks between us.

"Alrighty," she says finally, gently taking Hope out of Freya's arms. "Looks like Auntie Keelin is babysitting again." She coos and Hope babbles and blows spit. Keelin laughs and Freya leans over to kiss her temple.

"Thank you for understanding Keelin." Keelin just nods and turns around to go back upstairs.

"Maybe I'll invite Davina and some wolves over. Willow's pretty cool and the extra protection would be nice." Keelin whispers and Freya turns to me.

"A locator spell is in order yes?" When Freya nods, I speed away to grab a map and come back. I follow Freya to a table and sit down, wincing only slightly when I bite into my wrist and it drips onto the map. It heals seconds later and Freya starts the spell.

I watch as my blood went all the way to Tennessee. Bloody hell. That's far. "I've got an exact location. Nashville."

[Kol P.O.V]

Sitting in the dungeon with chains was terrible. Especially with being weak. Elijah still hasn't healed and Niklaus is a no go. He's caught up in his own fantasy.

When I hear the clicking of heels, I expect Marlen but instead I'm greeted with the sight of an smiling Hayley. I know a humanityless vampire when I saw one. Except, Hayley wasn't a vampire. Not anymore.

"You'll be pleased to know boys," she says the words, seemingly so pleased with herself. "That Rebekah is coming for a visit. A perfect time to enact a plan." She coos, drumming her fingers against her arm. She looks to Klaus and then me. She tilts her head at Elijah. "He's not looking to good is he?" She asks.

"Just save him already." I said. Hayley looks at me with a raised eyebrow but I just stare nonchalantly back at her. "We all know you are. Switch on or off, you'll want your precious prisoners alive right?" I ask and she narrows her eyes. She knows I'm right. I never spent much time around Halyey but since I've met her, I've felt kinmanship because of how I feel. She feels cast out, only using the blood of her past to help her escape.

I once did the same. And with everything in me, I'm going to help her.

"Fine." She hisses and bites into her wrist. She kneels before Elijah and grabs his chin forcefully. She lets the blood drip on his throat and finally, those burns heal and he's okay again. She throws his head to the side and glares at me. I offer a smile. "Don't try anything Kol. Rebekah already did and failed."

I shrug. "I'm not. What we did was wrong and I accept what's happened. It's not my place to try and help you." Hayley glares a bit longer before glancing around at all three of us before turning around and leaving.

"Kol, tell me you did that for a reason." Elijah said miserably. I nod and look to the darkness where footsteps echoed and eventually, a door slammed. Those are where the stairs are.

"I did. Hayley's upset but she's not a killer. Not anymore. Until Freya arrives with a spell that fixes her I'm going to remind her of that."

"And why is it so special that you do it?"

I look at Elijah when he asks the question. "I didn't leave her. I like Hayley for who she is. I didn't try to change her and I didn't betray her trust." I turn to Niklaus at my last sentence.

They both look away, knowing what I'm talking about.

Jesus sisters, hurry up.

[Liam P.O.V]

When Hayley came marching upstairs, I smiled. "Hey lovely, how about we go out? You seem pretty upset. We should get you a snack." Hayley shakes her head and sits down heavily on the couch next to me.

"Sorry Liam. The Mikealsons-,"

"Can be handled just fine with Jaiden and Marlen."

"Can you say the same for their sisters? I know they're planning something. They've probably already found them." Hayley waves a hand. I nod and cross my arms, the sweet promise of a break temporarily forgotten.

"Amd what plan do you have?"

"For this entire situation, I'm going to dagger Klaus. Kol and Elijah, I don't care for. I'll keep him as a trophy."

I breath in through clenched teeth. "Hayley, don't you know that Jaiden wants the Originals dead?" Hayley nods but rolls her eyes.

"Even if he did, one way or another, all the vampires in the world including our allies would die too. I'd rather not lose them." I smirk.

"We'll tell him when we get back."

Hayley looks up sharply. "Where-,"

I grab her arm and drag her to the door. "To adventure!"
