GOING BACK.

CHAPTER 15.

Hayley woke to an empty bed and she groaned, putting her feet on the floorboards of the ground she stood and walked to the bathroom, splashing water on her face and brushing her hair she went back to the bedroom and took off her nightgown, putting on her leather pants and shirt the knee length riding boots and pushed the bedroom door open into the deserted hallway, the Castle quiet in the early morning after Hope and Rafael's Wedding, and walked to the far end of the Castle until she came to the stone stairwell that led to the dungeons beneath the Castle, dark and dank fire torches spaced along the cavernous underground of the castle and the smell that hit her nostrils nearly had her heaving, she could hear Klaus, Kol and Finn, cackling as she walked closer, she stopped when she looked at the Three of them covered in blood the stone walls and floors marked and dripping with dried and fresh blood the smell of alcohol, urine and shit overpowering and looked at the fat drunk man from last night that had grabbed her, and turned her head to look at a silent watchful Elijah at her elbow,

"Who was he?" She asked her voice low.

"Sir James Fairweather, he owns the Fairweather Bank in Town," Elijah replied his voice low concern etched across his face.

"What of his Family? Children? siblings?" Hayley asked quietly.

"James has Two older Sons who have taken over the running of the bank James is just the figure head now, they are the wealthiest Family in the County and well regarded by the wealthy and nobility in the area." Elijah informed her and they both turned as the Man sat up with a gasp in Vampire transition and watched as Finn handed him a goblet which James drank from his eyes turning red, James got to his feet, fear in his eyes his naked body trembling as Klaus, Kol and Finn chuckled menacingly and Hayley whooshed inside the bared cell and pulled the the Man's heart from his chest, the grey body crashing to the floor, and whirled on Kol her face angry her eyes blazing,

"Kol Mikaelson you should know better than this, you have your memories back, we cannot afford to make more enemies in this time, you all already have 500 Years worth of them, this Man has powerful Son's who will want revenge for their Father's death, he is a prominent Man," She glared at the Three of them and locked her gaze on Klaus, "You could have had your fun and compelled him and sent him on his way, there was no need to turn him making another enemy Klaus, we have a Daughter who will have Children, WE ARE HAVING ANOTHER CHILD, you all need to be mindful of enemies made today, who will come for our Family in the future and this Family will only grow larger, making us stronger but also vulnerable because of our love for our Children and each other," And the Three torturing Brother's suddenly looked guilty and dropped their eyes from the furious hazel eyed Woman's gaze, and Hayley turned to Elijah, "Could you please get Vincent Elijah? we can still come out of this situation unscathed." Hayley said to him and Elijah nodded vamping off, Hayley turned back to the Three Brother's,

"He grabbed you he laid hands on you." Klaus said enraged and sullen looking at her defiantly and she had to suppress her smile, he was so childish at times.

"I know and I expected you would beat him, torture him kill him even, but to make him a vampire to walk among us for Centuries probably turning his Son's so they in turn could come for us avenging their Father, is not smart Klaus, we have to much to lose and many to protect, no more vampires unless they are loyal to the Mikaelson Family," And Hayley turned to Kol, "In the future when Klaus's sire link was broken Klaus's enemies came for him, you said 'We should have made less enemies,' And Kol nodded in agreement having seen that memory, "That is what we need to do." Hayley said adamantly.

"Hayley is right we can have our fun but we must either kill them or let them go, no more vampires, unless they are loyal to our Family," Finn agreed.

"How will they fear us if I do not continue to have them walk amongst us with the knowledge we are to be feared?" Klaus fumed irate, at her and his Brother's who had capitulated so easily at his Wife's words.
