HOPE AND HENRIK.

CHAPTER 2.

BIENVILLE PARK 

Hayley sits on a bench, dripping the poison into a cup, Hayley, thinking to herself, 'Come on, Hayley. One upset stomach and all this stupid drama is ancient history.' It's not like Klaus wants the baby, he loathed her and he didnt care if they lived or died, she had been so intrigued by him when she first met him but he was just another dick like most Men she'd met, She lifted the cup toward her face, closed her eyes, then opened them and lowered the cup again without drinking it. She sighs, then hears a branch snap nearby. She stands up, looking around, then turns to find a vampire right in front of her. 

"Dumb move, coming into the Quarter. You're coming with me, wolf. " The vampire sneers and orders.

"I have had it up to here with vampires telling me what to do," She throws the cup's contents into his face, and he roars in pain. She spins around, only to be faced with two more vampires. Suddenly Rebekah shows up, snaps the neck of one vampire and rips the heart out of the back of the other. 

Rebekah saying, to the dead vampires, "Now, that is no way to treat a pregnant lady. I do hate bad manners," As she throws the heart on the ground. Hayley gapes at her, still in shock.

PLANTATION HOUSE.

Klaus throws a final body onto a small pile in the front courtyard while he berates Rebekah and Hayley for their behavior. 

"This is why I told you never to leave the house. Werewolves are banned in the Quarter. I had a plan, and your little nighttime stroll put it all in peril! Leave him!" Klaus snaps as Rebekah had started walking toward the pile of bodies – one of them was still alive – but at Klaus's last command, she stops. 

"You've done enough, don't you think? Leaving a trail of bodies like a road map to my door?" Klaus says glaring at her. 

"If I hadn't overheard this lot bragging about werewolf heads, everyone here would be screwed. And don't give me that crap about having a plan. You've had all the time in the World to execute a plan, and no one's seen you do a damn thing! Elijah made a deal to protect your Child, so that it could save you from your selfish, rotten self. But you obviously don't give a damn about the Child or Elijah, because what have you done to honour it?" Rebekah shouted at him. 

"I have done everything. Let me spell it out for you, shall I? From the day I arrived, Marcel hasn't trusted me. From Day One, he's had his vampires ingest toxic vervain which, as you know, little Sister, protects them from my mind control. I needed a spy, someone on the inside with me who Marcel would never suspect. So, I created a Day Zero and got there first. Marcel had just lost six vampires, thanks to your little murder spree, and he needed new recruits. So, I made the new one mine, before he'd had even a drop of vervain.But we all know the real way to a Man is through his heart, so," Klaus grabs the vampire that's still alive from the pile. "And this one – I'm gonna drain him of vervain, compel him to believe his mates found religion and moved to Utah, so that he can explain to Marcel why he lost three more vampires tonight." Klaus drags the vampire into the house.

Rebekah and Hayley follow him inside.

"Does anyone have any more questions? No? Good, because I have a question. Hayley, what were you doing in the bloody French Quarter in the first place? Answer me! " Klaus demands as he looks at her and she stays stubbornly silent.

"Leave her be." Rebekah warns. 

"You wanna know what I was doing? I was buying poison, so I could put your little baby out of its misery." Hayley tells him her lip curled in a sickening half smile, Klaus runs at her with vampire speed and pins her to the door by the neck. Hayley gasps for air, her hands going around his but his strength defeats her.
