GOING BACK.

CHAPTER 3.

Hayley and Marcel arrived back in the dead of the night from London, the household asleep, she said goodnight to Marcel and walked slowly to her bedroom hearing the breathing of her Family asleep, at least they were all well, Hayley checked in on Hope sprawled across her bed, covers thrown aside, Hayley went in and looked at her sleeping Daughter, so beautiful and untroubled in sleep, and concrete evidence that this was not just a terrible nightmare, being in 1492, but very real, Hayley hadn't had to scheme or manipulate in such a long time, now she would have to give the performance of her life when it came to Klaus, when what she really wanted to do was grab him and tell him everything and have her life be back to normal.

Pulling the covers over Hope, she bent down and kissed her, breathing in her Daughter's unique scent that was the mixture of Hayley, Klaus and Hope's own, turned and went to her room, lifting the floorboards she unloaded and placed the blood bags of Katherine's blood, replacing the floorboards and rug, she would ask Hope tomorrow for a protection spell placed on them,  Hayley took of her dress and fell into bed.

The following morning Hayley woke to the warm arms of her Daughter,

"Auntie Rebekah has been here everyday since you've been gone." Hope said excitedly looking down at her Mom.

"What have you told her," Hayley asked concerned.

"Not much, she thinks we came from France, that we got away from pack fighting, that you may or may not be a Widow, you know we are going to have to find the pack that lives here and meet them so our story is legitimate, and she knows that we are all supernatural, that Auntie Freya and Davina are witches, that Uncle Vincent is too, that Keelin and I are wolves, she is expecting you to be older, so we told her Auntie Freya created an Immortality spell and we all have one on us, except for Uncle Marcel."

"And did she buy that?" Hayley asked sitting up in bed.

"She was surprised that Freya was so powerful, I have spelled myself and Auntie Keelin, to conceal our hybrid and my witch side, I will need to conceal yours too, and Auntie Rebekah did make a comment about Dad wanting powerful witches in his employ, so you have to be careful when you and Auntie Freya go to his birthday celebration."

"Rebekah has invited us?" Hayley asked.

"She invited us all, but Auntie Freya told her you and her would only attend, that's what you wanted right?" Hope asked.

"Yes, we get in I will get the White Oak and we leave." Hayley replied.

"So you got Katherine's blood?" 

"I did," Hayley said getting up and pointing to the spot on the floor they lay beneath, "Can you put a protection spell on it sweetheart, What time does Rebekah come?" Hayley asked as Hope waved her hand and the magic hummed as Hope did the spell, then she waved her hand over her Mom concealing her vampire side from detection.

"11 o 'clock, we should visit the pack later this afternoon, Full Moon is the night before Dad's birthday, we should turn with them or at least run with them." 

"We will, you Keelin and I will go and meet them today." Hayley said with a smile, " How are you liking it here?"

"I'm getting used to it, I am so glad we are together and Andie and Nicholas love it, that helps." Hope replied, "We also had Men's clothes made yours are hanging in your wardrobe, we don't wear them outside of the house, but they are so much better than the dresses, and you should have seen Aunty Bex's face when she first saw us wearing them," Hope laughed, "I think we are converting her, she asked all sorts of questions." Hayley laughed, Hope was relieved to see her Mom wasn't so sad.
