Falling ::Klaus Mikaelson::

Chapter 14- Crescent City

I carry the picture of Celeste down stairs to Klaus, Rebekah, Elijah, and Marcel. "That's it, that's how we get Davina back- kill the witch that took her place." Marcel pieces together.

"I think I know one that could be it. Celeste, Its got to be. Davina was drawing pictures of her, she was warning us that a great evil was coming." I state holding up the drawing.

"First, Papa Tundae comes back to settle old scores and now your old lover is back. This isn't witches attacking vampires: they're declaring war on us." Klaus states.

Elijah comes up and takes the drawing from me and heading back up to his study. Rebekah follows and I'm left with Marcel and Klaus. "I'm gonna go check up with some of the day walkers, I'll meet you at the church?" Marcel asks Klaus. "Be there on time." Klaus explains. Marcel nods, and walks out of the room.

"So who is dying today?" I ask curiously. "I don't know, I'm sure there will be someone though." He smiles. "Charming." I state sarcastically and he chuckles lowly. "Well, if you'll excuse me, love, I have to go to church." Klaus smirks. "The devil himself walking into a church of God?" I begin to laugh hysterically.

"Very funny." He rolls his eyes playfully. "I'll see ya later then?" I ask. "Of course." He smiles and walks out of the room.

"And here I thought I'd have to drag you kicking and screaming." Rebekah states. "Yeah, well we all just wanna protect me and the baby, right?" I ask as Hayley, Rebekah, and I walk up to the plantation.

"Hey, I'm on your side remember? So what gives?" Bekah asks. I look to Hayley, and back to Rebekah. "Tonight is a full moon, Bekah." I explain. "Yes, and? Your preggers, you can't turn." She states. "Yes, but I wanted to invite a few people over." I explain.

"Of course. Every red-blooded American wolf will be a bundle of fur and teeth tonight while your cursed Crescent Clan will be-" Bekahs cut off. "Human." Hayley finishes.

"And only for a few hours and won't be again till another full moon, so, I asked Josh to get a message out to Eve in the bayou." I explain. "Josh isn't dead yet? Oh, good on him, I love a nice survival story." Bekah smiles. Suddenly, she looks over between me and Hayley, and her face twists into utter confusion.

"Who the bloody hell is that?" She asks, referring to the man that was hulling a dolly out from the house. "Kegs outback, right?" Hayley mutters to the guy. "Yep." He solemnly replies. I look at Bekah, and she's realized what we already did. "Right, it appears you two weren't going to wait for my permission to throw a keggar." She assumes.

"Listen, you all want me safe, fine. I'll do as I'm told, I'll play damsel in the glass tower, or you can let us meet our family for one night. Now you can rat us out and send us to our rooms, or help us throw one hell of a party." I shrug.

--------------------------

Of course, Bekah ended up helping us decorate for the party, and I have to hand it to her, she has a very good skill set on throwing parties. Now, I'm hanging clothes on the line, so when they change back to humans, they can have clothes at least.

As I'm hanging out a flannel, I notice something in the wood line: a grey wolf with yellow eyes. I smile, and finish hanging the flannel, my eyes never once leaving the wolf's gaze. "Hello again. I'm looking forward to meeting you soon." I smile warmly.

The wolf walks off and I turn and walk inside. Hayley and I wait patiently for the wolves, very anxious to see them. "Do you think they'll know us, ya know, from the family tree?" I ask. "Trust me, they know us." She chuckles.

Before we know it, Rebekah is calling us down to see the guests. As soon as we walk downstairs, were greeted with an entire pack. Hayley and I look to each other and smile, looking back to them.

"Let's get this party going." Hayley smiles. Soon enough, we all move outside and there's lots of music and dancing. I then turn and walk back up to the vacant house, grabbing empty plates and bowls off of the coffee table.

"I seriously you invited us here to wait on us." A voice sounds. I turn and find a man, no older then me or Hayley with dark brown hair and sharp features.

"You're Skylar, I'm Jackson. It's nice to see you again." He introduces. "You're the wolf that's been watching over me." I smile. "I have to keep my eye on you, precious cargo and all." He smiles and I look down to my stomach.

"Right, gotta protect the miracle baby." I run my hand over the slight bump. "No, that's not what I meant, I don't care about the baby." He states. I cock my eyebrow and he catches his words. "No, sorry, that came out wrong. I do care about the baby, I care that you're a Lebonaire, that's a big deal. But personally, my interests are in you and Hayley." He explains. "You don't even know us." I state.

"Our parents knew each other, we were of the same pack but not the same bloodline. You know how pack hierarchy works right? Everyone has their part to play? Well, we had a part to play too." He states. "What was that?" I ask.

"You were supposed to be my sister-in-law, alpha of the pack, and Hayley was supposed to be my wife." He explains. My eyes widen as I hear this.

"I know this is a lot to take in, but I just need to ask one favor." Jackson states. "What is it?" I ask. "Can I speak to Hayley?" He asks. "Of course, let her know I'll be upstairs reading." I smile. I turn on my heel and walk toward the staircase, walking up.

This place rises memories- both good and bad.

"They were very rude. Trying to victimize a poor innocent girl just trying to find her way to the quarter. So sorry we're they friends of yours?"She asks. "And that's my cue.." I state walking out the door to the girls car.

I grab one of her heaviest bags and drag it to the porch. I grab another bag and see Klaus arrive onto the porch. "You shouldn't strain yourself." He states. "Since when do you give a damn?" I ask heaving the bag onto the porch.

"You'll hurt yourself. She can very well get those bags on her own. Do me a favor, stay safe little wolf." He states before speeding off. I sigh and walk up the stairs into the house where the blonde waits.

Come to think of it, where the hell is Klaus, he'd said he'd check in later. Probably held captive at the mercy of witches with my luck.

As I flip through the pages of an old Crescent Pack book Hayley gave me, I see a drawing, a portrait of a pregnant woman that looked like a cross over between Hayley and I.

Rosalie Lebonaire: 1989- pregnant with Andrea and Kennedy Lebonaire- 8 months along.

I trace over the picture, admiring the originality of the portrait, and the woman, my mother in the portrait. Why did they give us up? Is something burning? Ehh.

"Skylar!" Hayley yells. I jump up and race downstairs, finding the house surrounded by flames.

I begin coughing, scanning the area for Hayley and Jackson. "Hayley, Jackson!" I cough out. "Skylar, in here!" Hayley's voice sounds from the living area. I stumble to the living room as Jackson helps Hayley breathe. I use my shirt to help me breathe, but I begin hyperventilating.

The heat was intense as the whole room becomes engulfed. I feel light headed and struggle to breathe. Suddenly, just as I'm about to fall, I'm pulled out of the house. I cough uncontrollably but I can faintly see Elijah there, then gone again.

He then speeds back with Hayley, and then Jackson. Once we are all recovered, I leave Hayley and Jackson to talk while I head back to the compound. My only remaining question is: where the hell is Klaus?

I am so sorry for not updating in so long. I just finished writing this and I hope you all like it, because in a few days, I'll have chapter 15 up and ready for you guys. Thank you for being patient and supportive!
