KLAYLEY SHORT STORIES.

FAITHFUL. II.

"Good evening," Klaus greeted as he stood before her.

"Good evening," As she lifted her glass to her mouth again, Klaus noticing her wedding ring was disappointed.

"You are Married."

"No, I just wear it so that I can go about unaccompanied," Klaus eyes widened astonished and now more intrigued with the brunette beauty and said,

"Please, come," And indicated with his arm for her to follow him, then led them to a an outdoor balcony with few people around.

"You are a wolf and not from here from your accent you sound American."

"I am, I have come here to see you and help you."

"How can you help me sweetheart and how do you know who I am?" He ground out eyes suspicious of her now.

"I have a lot to speak to you about Klaus, can we go somewhere quieter where we won't be disturbed, specially if you have one of your rage tantrums, what I have to say would be better said away from others," Hayley elaborated.

Klaus was taken aback, this Woman knew him, she spoke as though they were intimates, but he would have remembered a beauty such as her, he was certain, he was also intrigued and curious and what could the She Wolf do to an Immortal Original such as he,

"Very well little wolf follow me," He replied as he strided away, Hayley a smile on her lips at his name for her, didn't matter what time they were in his name for her stuck.

Arriving in his carriage just out of London to a Home set amongst its own land, not Terraced abutted Townhouses as in Mayfair, perched high on a hillside, gazing loftily down on the City of London Hayley asked,

"Where are we?"

"Hampstead Heath, Three Miles out of London, a village of dreams, pretty streets, hidden courtyards, and tree lined groves, it has provided a haven for Artists and writers and for a monster such as I," Klaus announced to her with a smirk, wanting to let her know that he could kill her at his pleasure.

"Save your threats Big Bad Hybrid, I'm here to help you Klaus." Hayley snapped at him.

Klaus pursed his lips at her eyes narrowed, this woman did not fear him at all, disconcerted he said harshly,

"Come," As he stalked to the front door, a waiting Butler opening it and stepping to the side and Hayley followed Klaus into the House and the room he entered into, a study, Hayley surmised, Klaus went to the drinks table and poured himself a scotch looked at Hayley, one eyebrow raised in question and with a nod of acceptance to him he poured her one, handing it to her as she sat gracefully down and looked at him, as he stood at the fireplace watching her, trying to read her mind, decipher her, he did not like unsolved puzzles, he always had insight into people's actions and motives this woman he couldn't read at all and that frustrated him.

"I am from the future Klaus, 2028, I have time travelled back to 1813 to break your Wolf Binding Curse and to show you the memories of my time so that you can change events from happening, the Spell was constructed in such a way as those of us in the future will retain the previous timeline memories although you will change them creating a different timeline for us all and time and future can be disrupted without consequence, you kill the enemies after us, leading up to 2028, we will remain intact and living just without the drama of the last 17 years, we will remember it but it will be changed."

Klaus was confounded, "Love why would I do anything to change the future, for a Woman I do not know or trust?"

"Because I am the Mother of your Daughter and in our time you took a Creature called the Hollow into yourself along with Elijah, Rebekah and Kol to save her and you have not seen our Daughter for 10 years, having to stay on the otherside of the World from her and each of your siblings so the Hollow's power remains separated and Father and Daughter are no longer speaking, nor will you communicate with me, so I am here to change events and you will help me Klaus," Hayley said with conviction and determination.
