Twenty- Seven: Hayley

The race to protect Hope had began. Klaus had explained the events to Marcel, who, in return sided with us against the new evil that faced his city. He arranged for us to live in the Compound, which was cloaked by Davina. Maybe things had happened since we were gone, firstly, Davina. She had been sent the same physic imprint that Klaus and I had been sent by Hope all those years ago. However, it was delivered to her when Hope was born. After the harvest ritual. Which, I have come to know, nearly killed the city. It was not a choice Marcel took lightly, but nevertheless, a necessary evil Klaus had told me.

Now that Davina remembered our "past life" she also remembered Kol. The love of her life, and, her husband. Something that was new to my knowledge. Davina had been working with Elijah and Rebekah. All three met us at the compound, along with Marcel and Josh. Josh, Marcel had recruited him, and had taken him under his wing. Davina has been working on a spell to help others "remember."

Marcel had been the only successful recipient of this experiment. They had also sought out Cami, which made me nervous. A lot had changed in her life, she grew in her business and managed to buy Russo's. Many people that had died were now suddenly, still alive. It took a while for me to adjust, Klaus could see how the memories haunted me.

"Okay, love, enough with the mopping," he took the book I had been reading from my hand.
"Hey! I was reading that."
He grabbed my hand, yanking me upward, off the couch.
"I know being back her has been troubling you. I think we should go for a stroll around the Quarter."
I raised an eyebrow, "Are you sure that's the best idea?"
He thought for a moment, moving his head slightly to the side. "Yes," he said firmly.
I sighed, "Okay, then. Let me just get Hope and-"
"No. She's resting, leave her. Also, I think she is safest here, in the Compound."
I couldn't agree more.
I gave him a nod.
"Let me just grab my jacket and give her a kiss goodbye."
He kissed my hand, "Sure."

I tugged my leather jacket on, as I stared at Hope. Her angelic features laid at rest as her breathing evened. She slept soundlessly, bringing peace to my heart. I have her a kiss, whispered, "I love you, my baby girl," and left.
I met Klaus at the gates. He took my hand as we walked down the street.
"What's on your mind, Little Wolf? I can sense something is off," he said with a sad smile.
He squeezed my hand.
"I feel like there's two of me, the old and the new. I'm having trouble balancing them. Cami is back, and Davina but I'm not the same person I was. It's been almost ten years in my head Klaus. And although, many of us are remembering again," I sighed. "They're not remembering it as if they lived it. Not like us. They see it as someone else's memory. I asked Elijah. And many of those memories, Hope was with me. I feel like mine are most vivid."
Klaus looked shocked, having no idea I felt this way. Fear creeped in his eyes as he asked, "Are you... unhappy with your new life? Your life with me?"
It was my turn to be shocked.
"Of course not," I said appalled. "Klaus, I love you."
I kissed him to prove it, my arms going around his neck. His pulled me closer, his nails dug into my jacket. For a moment, everything was perfect. Then, we got a call from Rebekah.
"What is it?" I asked Klaus, feeling old habits sink in.
"Rebekah wants to meet us at the Witch Nut House. She thinks Davina can break the spell, so we can get Freya."
