Allure of Darkness ↠ Klaus Mikaelson [3]

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

"Coffee has water in it. I'm doing fine."

HAYLEY and I walked to where we heard arguing, a cup of coffee in my hand.

"You can't go out there now. I need to gather the witches' remains and consecrate them. If I don't get to them before sundown, we'll lose the link to their magic," Sophie practically begged Klaus, looking at him with wide brown eyes.

"Those witches tried to kill Spencer," He told her with a glare on his face. "And Hayley," He added. "I'd prefer for Marcel's informant not to find anything that would lead him back to us, to her, or to... you know," He said, moving his hand around until he pointed at my stomach. "That."

"You are all class," Hayley muttered, standing my by side as I placed a hand on my stomach.

Klaus then pointed at Sophie as he began to walk away. "Stay put," He told her. She threw her hands up as if she was asking, 'where would I go!?' "And save the rest of your story 'til I return." He then fully left the room and the building.

I looked at Hayley and raised an eyebrow, she could clearly see that I was thinking about something.

SOPHIE was packing a little bottle into her backpack when Hayley and I entered the mausoleum.

"Hey," Sophie said with wide eyes as Hayley and I gave her forced smiles. "What the hell?" She asked us.

"You're going out there anyway, aren't you?" I asked as I gestures to her small backpack. "We wanna go with you." I crossed my arms.

"No, thanks. Already got assaulted by Klaus this morning. Don't need a repeat," She told us, pointing a finger between us. She went to walk past us, but I got in her way before she could.

"What if whatever is responsible for all those dead witches is still out there?" Hayley asked her with raised eyebrows. "We've already established that it likes us and hates witches, so you'll be safer with us," Hayley explained, smirking.

"Sorry if I'm not buying your sudden concern for my safety," She told the both of us as she went to go past us again, but Hayley blocked the exit, forcing Sophia to stop.

"Listen. The whole reason I came to this stupid town in the first place was to learn more about my family. Spencer came along because she's a really good friend. Your sister's the one that told us that Marcel ran the werewolves out of the Quarter, into the bayou. And, last night, I'm pretty sure that some guardian-angel-wolf saved our lives. So, we're coming with you," Hayley ranted to the witch, throwing her hands around frantically, her eyes wide.

At that time, Rebekah walked in, joining us.

"Could you three be more idiotic?" She rolled her eyes in annoyance. Hayley, Sophie and I looked around at each other and sighed. "Two can play the follow-game, you know! You heard Klaus, he and Marcel are headed right where you're going," She told us, giving me a pointed look.
