The next few days past in a haze, I kept waiting for Klaus to call me Little Wolf. Almost, like I a game. He would call me, Hayley, Love, Sweetheart, but never, never Little Wolf. As the days stretched, I longed for the silly little nickname. It was something only Klaus and I shared.
On the fifth day of living in England, Klaus and I took Hope for a scroll around the neighbourhood. That's when I first noticed something strange. The people shut their doors and moved as if on a constant loop. I ignored it, off course I did. But something pulled at me. Something I couldn't quite put my finger on.
Hope was sleeping far too much these days, I started to worry she might be sick. Klaus assured me that, like when his blood flowed through my veins, it did the same in Hope. Therefore, the thought of entertaining such things were inane.
Confronting Klaus about these weird things I've started to notice seemed like a bad idea, considering that he was so fond of the town.
I called the only person I knew I could trust, Rebekah.
"Hayley, how are you my love?" She answered one Sunday morning. Klaus and Hope had gone to the park and I had a few moment to myself.
"I'm good Bex, hey, Bex, did you notice anything strange about Klaus lately?" I asked, pulling at the loose strands of cotton from my skirt.
"Strange? How so?"
"Hmmm... I don't know. I just got a weird feeling, I guess," I shrugged.
"Hayley, everything is fine. You're being silly."
"Yeah, I know. Anyway, how have you been?"
I spoke to Rebekah for what seemed like hours, putting my mind at ease. I hung up when Klaus showed up with Hope. She quickly crawled into my arms, since she was away from me for so long.
That night, I had a nightmare.
