She knew art was his escape
A metaphor for control
What he couldn't have in reality he painted
There were countless paintings of Tatia & Aurora that she had discovered when she first moved into the Abattoir hidden in the darkest corners of the mansion
You see she had never been one to care about art or culture
She never had the time either most her mortal life she had been spent looking for her birth family
She never took the time to appreciate the simple things about life and now that she was immortal she was more attracted to them more than ever as she had no fear of dying she could do anything she wanted and she'd not die
All the adventurous things that only the bravest people would take the risk to experience she could do without having to think twice
The one thing that she had found meaningless and quite pathetic as a human or
Just until she had met him
She now wanted to learn so much about
It amazed her how he could create something so beautiful effortlessly
and she even felt somewhat privileged to have been able to witness it happen
-
Now more than ever she wanted to know more
She wanted to feel in control of her life
If art helped him with his need for control she assumed it could help her too
And one day her curiosity got the best of her
-
"Will you ever come out of this room?" She asked marching into his Art studio
He simply ignored her and continued painting
"I know it means you've lost control over something, I doubt I need to ask about what" she said thinking about the daughter they had lost so cruelly
"Why are you here Hayley?"
He questioned finally turning away from his canvas
"I'm bored"
She shrugged
"Finished killing enough witches for a day?"
He sarcastically said
"They took my baby and because of their own actions they're nothing worth more than food to me now" She took a seat on the couch not taking her eyes off what he was painting
"Our baby"
Klaus corrected
"What are you painting?" She asked trying to make out what he was painting and failing
"Why is it you have sudden interest in art?"
Or me
He silently thought
"Why can't I?"
He was honestly getting sick of her attitude and if it wasn't for the feeling a guilt he had lurking around his heart he probably would have yelled at her by now but he couldn't
She was in a fragile state even the slightest things could cause her to make choices she would soon regret and he definitely did not want to be the one who caused her even more pain
-
Hayley eventually got even more annoyed that he was ignoring her and for some strange reason she really wanted his attention right now so she did the one thing she knew he wouldn't be able to ignore
She stood up and started taking out his paintings and criticising them using any rude word she could think of
"Meaningless"
"Boring"
"What is this even?"
"Sad"
"Pathetic"
That was it.
Klaus had enough of her at this point
He had let her remain inside his studio and let her watch him paint
Something that even his family did not have the privilege of witnessing and this is how she took advantage of it
By criticising his work
"Get out Hayley"
He ordered in a serious tone
"What? Can't take a few insults?"
She let out a emotionless laughter coming closer to him
"HAYLEY I SAID GET OUT!"
He yelled this time sending shivers down her back
-
She knew she shouldn't have done that
He was the last reminder and the closest thing she had to feel connected with Hope, The closet person to family she had right now and she so desperately wanted his attention but she knew she did something stupid to get it
Criticising his art might have been a entertaining thing for the both of them when they were drunk off their asses but it was definitely not a good idea in the situation they were in now
"I'm sorry, I-" because the words left her mouth she burst into tears
This was something she did every night
Cry in the memory of her daughter
but she hadn't let anyone know or see her in this state
-
He immediately felt extremely guilty for letting his anger get the best of him
Seeing her in this state made his heart ache for the both of them
They had lost the only thing that truly mattered to them
The one good thing they had created in their time in this world
"I miss her,Klaus" She said between sobs
"I want to hold her again I want our baby to return to us, I just want her back please" She begged falling to the ground as her legs finally lost feeling
"She will return to us, I promise when the time is right we'll have her back" He said kneeling down to where she was
"I DON'T WANT TO WAIT. I WANT OUR BABY BACK I WANT HER BACK NOW!"
She cried at the top of her lungs
He knew he felt the same thing but one of them had to be the sane one and think about Hope's safety and for the first time Klaus wasn't the one acting reckless but he couldn't blame her either
He wanted Hope back as much as she did and he had even tried to bring her back 4 months ago if it wasn't for Rebekah talking sense into him. His daughter would have been living in a warzone right now something that could have led to things much worse than what they were feeling
"Hayley, Look at me" He said placing his hand on her cheeks making her look up slightly so that she was facing him
Seeing her like this hurt him more than he ever thought it would
She looked nothing like the girl he had first met a year ago
She look weak, scared and hurt
When in reality she was physically much stronger now
She was a Hybrid
That didn't exactly help with the situation they were in either
She had lost her child and her family had practically banished her the second they found out she was a Hybrid
Klaus probably would've went and slaughtered her entire pack the second he found out about that had she not been there to stop him even after they banished her for something so unreasonably stupid she still wanted to keep them safe
Something only a true Queen would do
"She's not with us because of the mess we've created, This city is crawling with people who want her dead, The witches, Francesca's wolves, our daughter would've been raised in a place where she could've been truly taken away from us forever. You're not alone in the misery you feel, I want our daughter back as much as you do but I know of the consequences we would face if we let our feelings take over instead of thinking about Hope's safety, Little Wolf and they're far worse than what we are going through"
He could feel the tears starting to well up in his eyes
"I just want her back, We deserve to see our baby grow up no matter what we've done we deserve to watch our daughter grow up"
She finally stopped crying
"And we will"
He said before wrapping his arms around her
Thankfully for him Hayley didn't try to avoid his hug and just snuggled up into his chest
He could feel her tears dripping onto his shirt but he couldn't care less
They were both so broken and yet they had managed to create their little Miracle
Maybe there was a god afterall
I feel like I quite frankly messed this up since this was not what I had in mind started writing this chapter but ehh
+
I'm pretty sure most of you know about the
"Blood is spilled
Vows are made
lips are kissed
and
Magic is done"
Which was posted by one of the writers but I have a feeling the Lips are kissed Part is probably gonna be Klaus and Hayley because there is only one ship on the show that's technically happening which is Haylijah and for all we know there has not been any news about Klaus getting a new love interest {I doubt even the writers would force him into a relationship so quickly with a new character} and Rebekah and Kol are only going to be present for half the season so it's only Klaus, Hayley, Marcel and Elijah who'll be the main characters, Haylijah kissing is not a big deal at all so it's not them, Hayley and Marcel that's pretty damn close to impossible it would happen and
that leaves Klayley
They left off in a really good place in the finale last season so it's not even that unrealistic specially with a Daughter who now understands what's happening
