The Burdens We Carry

The wars to come

"You know when you said Jackson and Oliver would be capable of bringing the stones, I didn't think that they would be Shanghai'd and now in the wind" muttered Kara slight frown marring her face.

Klaus rolled his eyes "And I suppose you think your hybrids would have made for better errand boys?"

Kara scoffed and threw back her drink "Of course, they wouldn't allow themselves to be caught by those pathetic excuse of vampires."

Hayley shook her head "Okay.. We get it , your hybrids are big and bad but can we please focus of what we're going to do to get Jackson and Oliver back in one piece?"

Kara raised a brow "I mean.. do we really have to? There are always casualties in war" she said casually "and I can't say I'm too torn up about having the puppy nipping at your heels being one of them."

"I don't think now is the time for your jealousy Kara" said Hayley with frown

Kara rolled her eyes "I am not jealous, in fact I hardly believe Jackson competition after all it's my ring you wear isn't it?" Pointedly staring at Hayley's hand "And the sooner you tell your pack we're to marry the sooner you can break Jackson's heart." She paused "or we could let him waste away where ever Marcel has him.. and spare ourselves a wounded puppy."

Klaus watched the back and forth and laughed "Okay sister , aside from your obvious distaste for the puppy, he is part of Hayley's pack and that means he's family to your daughter."

Kara sighed and stood to her feet "Fine, I know where Marcel is, or where Jackson is. I called Claire and she managed to do a locator spell."

Hayley sighed in relief "Then you're going to get him won't you?"

"I don't really want to, but I suppose if it's for my fiancé I should at least consider such a request."

Hayley stood to her feet and kissed Kara softly "And said fiancé will be very happy and would be willing to offer you a reward for such a deed."

Kara cocked an intrigued brow "Oh? And what will my reward be?"

Hayley ignored klaus's gagging and leaned closer to Kara's ear "I'll wear that little nightdress you thought I would look ravishing in"

Kara perked at the mention , since they got together there hadn't been much time to celebrate their impending union especially with Hayley's due date nearing and the rings for the wolves. So she put her desires aside for the greater good but if Hayley was offering such a reward for such an inconsequential task .. then who was she to deny the lady.

Kara took Hayley's hand in hers and kissed it softly "As my lady commands" she smirked and stepped away and grabbed her younger brothers arm "Come brother we have a damsel to save ."

••••••••••••••

Hayley paced the floors of the courtyard "Kara should've been back by now." She muttered

Cassandra stared at her jealously, but she couldn't do anything not with three hybrids around the compound watching her every move.

"You should sit down, so much stress isn't good enough for your baby"

Hayley' scoffed at the woman "Forgive me if I sound rude but when the hell have you even cared about me and my daughter?"

Cassandra smiled falsely "if you can remember I was the one who helped you come back to the land of the living, and your daughter is important to kara.." she trailed off.
