GRACE DIDNT KNOW HOW LONG THEY HAD BEEN SITTING IN THE CHURCH. All she could think about was how Hayley was dead. Just like that, the woman had been ripped from her world without reason, without warning. Nothing could have prepared Grace for seeing her sister dead, killed so brutally. It was like a piece of her was taken along with it. She felt empty. Like something was missing. And something was. Hayley.
Elijah had placed Hayley's body on the altar, brushing her hair out of her face. None of them had said a word since Grace had broken down. No one dared to speak because that would just add to the reality of it all. But as Elijah stared down at Hayleys lifeless corpse, he couldn't help but wonder how this had all happened. How she could be killed so easily when his brother was right there. The brother who killed people for just stepping one foot out of line.
"How?" Elijah asks, his voice hostile as he stares down at Hayleys body. Klaus only stares at his hands, his jaw clenching.
"I was bested." Klaus admits lowly and Elijah grips the edge of the altar, tilting his head slightly towards his brother. Grace glanced over at them, biting the inside of her cheek.
"You..." Elijah trails off as he tries to remain calm but it was hard to do when standing next to Hayley's body. "Were bested?" He asks as he turns to face his brother who doesn't look up at him. "You were bested?!" He shouts, his voice booming as he glares down at the man. Klaus closes his eyes for a moment, his head hanging. "My invincible brother!" Elijah states with a scoff as he shakes his head. Grace didn't believe that Klaus just let it happen, he looked as heartbroken as any of them. They didn't know what had taken place so they couldn't judge him so quickly.
"Elijah." Grace says, not allowing the man to berate Klaus anymore. Elijah glanced at her but kept his mouth shut. Klaus stands up from where he was seated, tears in his eyes.
"They took the baby. But there's still time." Klaus tells them, looking at the both of them. Grace sighs as she knew they are least had to save their niece, even if they couldn't save Hayley. "We can save her." He states and Grace nods her head, going to move to head towards the door when Elijah stops her.
"Grace-"
"Don't." Grace says sternly as she looks up at the man. She was not about to wait by her sisters dead body while they went and saved her niece. "Don't you dare tell me to stay here." She sneers at him and she could see the hesitation in his eyes. "My sister is dead. They're responsible. And I will be damned if I let them take my niece too." And with that, she didn't even wait for a response, she just headed out of the church. Klaus and Elijah share a glance before following after her.
