The Original Girl (Book 1)

Ch. 11.... The Plan

Chapter 11.... The Plan

Hayley

I'm sitting on the floor, holding a thick book in her hands, reading. Klaus, Rebekah, and Star are standing nearby talking, but I ignore them.

Elijah's voice

“August 1359. I have noticed a difference in my siblings. Our bond strains beneath the pressure of our life as vampires. Each day removes them further from the humanity we once possessed. My sweet sister, Rebekah, has grown quite indifferent to brutality. However, the true problem remains my brother, Niklaus. He continues to hide his loneliness with cruelty. Still, I cling to the hope that I, as their eldest brother, can lead them down the correct path, a path charged with the power of a family united. For if I fail, our family's legacy will end in darkness”.

Star

“I cannot believe you disposed of those vampires without me. You know how I love to set things on fire” Rebekah said to Klaus as he sat in his chair, Rebekah looked out the window, and I leaned against the wall. “It was cool” I said with a smile as Rebekah gave me the evil eye.

“Was I supposed to leave them in the front yard to rot? Besides, they were my responsibility. They attacked the helpless pregnant girl who's carrying my child” Klaus said with a smile. “Oh, I am so moved by your new found sense of fatherly duties towards the werewolf carrying your hybrid bun in her oven” Rebekah said looking at Klaus and putting her hands on the table in front of him.

Hayley walks in “the werewolf would like to know what the plan is” Hayley said as I smile. Klaus puts his feet up on the desk and smiles “well, that depends what plan you mean, love. My plan for global domination, or Rebekah's plan to find love in a cruel, cruel world” I do a small laugh.

Rebekah quick takes a pencil from the desk beside her and throws it in Klaus's direction, but he catches it without even flinching. “The plan to rescue Elijah. You know, the good brother. The one who is now in the possession of your mortal enemy after you “stabbed him in the back”” Hayley said.

I grab my drink that sat on the desk close to me and took a drink “in the front, if we're being specific” Klaus said. “He does have a point” I said as Hayley just rolls her eyes at me “you three said that you would get him back. So is there a plan, or what”?

“Wow, someone is in a hurry to have Elijah back” I said with a smile as Hayley gives me the evil eye as well. “The plane, firstly, Marcel is not my mortal enemy, he's my friend, one who is unaware that I'm trying to sabotage his hold over the supernatural community of the French Quarter, but a friend nonetheless. And secondly, I daggered Elijah in order to gain Marcel's trust. If I had known he would place my brother in the hands of a particularly nasty teenaged witch, I certainly would have weighed my options a bit differently. And thirdly, sister, please” Klaus said.

“And thirdly, the plan, as you have demanded, is for Niklaus to simply ask Marcel for Elijah back” Rebekah said to Hayley. “That's not the whole plan, is it” Hayley asks a little worried. “Depends” I said as everyone looked at me “Klaus's way of “simple asking” or the normal way” I said.

Rebekah smiled “please, Klaus may be a miserable excuse for a sibling, but there is none more diabolical”. “And that's only the Plan A, love. There's always a Plan B” Klaus said with a smile. “And what's Plan B” Hayley asked “war” I said with a smile on my face and one on Klaus's.
