HOPE AND HENRIK.

CHAPTER 13.

A/N - Publishing two chapters at a time so we can get through this faster, lots of words to read. Thanks for your patience in indulging me with this rewrite. 

I want to get back to Hope, Henrik and Odin soon, so we are going to rip through this fast.

Marcel laughed, "Come on, Elijah. I thought we agreed. The compelled waitress dumping those drinks was a nice touch." But you're the one who wanted to keep the Strix around for security. As long as we have a legion of Mikaelson enemies in Town, how 'bout you just let 'em do their job?" 

"You know, Marcel, I was just looking for a little me time..," Elijah replied factiously. 

"Well, as soon as they know you're safe and sound, they'll be more than happy to give you all the "me time" you want. In the meantime, if you stayed put, maybe they could devote more of their energy to finding out who's got their hands on that missing white oak bullet." 

"Can I help you? " Vincent questioned.

"I believe you already have. So, if you're looking for an easy target, you're looking in the wrong place." As Vincent threw spells at the bloke.

"Some free advice, Mr. Griffith? Know when you're outmatched, I was expecting more of a fight from the Regent of New Orleans." 

"Who are you? " Vincent shouted, to the unknown guy manhandling him.

" I'm just a hired goon, Unfortunately, you're in my way." 

"Absolutely not," Klaus said shaking his head as he filled the car with fuel at a petrol station in the middle of nowhere, and Hayley came out with a hat the logo, "Mother trucker," printed across the white face of the cap.

"You need to blend in, We could start by losing the $1,000 jacket." And she looked through the open back window as the twins giggled, kicking there legs, "As much as I don't like walking away from a fight, I'm glad we did, the twins are happy, and Henrik has been tense since this all started."

Klaus looked at the babies through the window and smiled, "I have been explaining what has been happening since the beginning," And Klaus finished refueling and stepped closer to Hayley putting his arm around her and leaning into her ear to say in a hushed voice, "When you took them and went to my Father's, he showed me visions of destroying the lot of them." Klaus confided with her, and Hayley whispered back,

"He showed me too, maybe we should have let him, I'm still reluctant to have him fight adult battles at his age, Dahlia was for Hope, but we are all adults and should fight our on fights."

"Agreed little wolf," Klaus said kissing her, "Now, tell me again why we're on a scenic tour of methamphetamine Country, not compelling a jet to some far-off, preferably tropical, destination? " Klaus said with a smirk.

"Look, I'm not the one with an army of pissed-off vampires coming after me. Can I have the keys?" Hayley teased. 

"On a scale of one to ten, exactly how much am I going to despise this little plan of yours?" Klaus asked, handing her the keys. 

"I'd say a solid 85," Hayley replied with a smile getting into the driver's seat. 

"Oh, good," Klaus replied rolling his eyes at his watching Children, who giggled at him. 

Marcel shouting at his Men, "I don't care if he turned into a cloud of smoke. Your job is to be Elijah's shadow. All right? Don't let him out of your sight again."
