Always and forever[BOOK 1]

3. Tangled up in blue

Rebekah, Klaus and I were standing near Hayley who was on the floor readying a thick book.

'' I cannot believe you disposed of those vampires without me. You know how I love to set things on fire.'' Rebekah said.

'' Was I supposed to leave them in the front yard to rot? Besides, they were my responsibility. They attacked the helpless pregnant girl who's carrying my child.'' Klaus said.

'' Oh, I am so moved by your new-found sense of fatherly duties towards the werewolf carrying your hybrid bun in her oven.'' Rebekah said and Hayley walked inside the room we were in.

'' The werewolf would like to know what the plan is.'' she said and looked at us.

'' Well, that depends what plan you mean, love: My plan for global domination, Rebekah's plan to find love in a cruel, cruel world, or Amy's to save her one true love that's been captured in a castle by a bad bad dragon?'' Klaus joked and I threw him a pencil only for him to catch it before it stabbed him.

Hayley looked at me and then back to Klaus.

''Um, Amy's probably...'' Hayley started but she was cut off by Klaus.

''You see, Amy? Everyone knows about your undying love for my brother... even the wolf girl.'' he continued joking as I threw him another pencil which he cut again.

''I hope there won't be a third time.'' he said more serious looking at me.

''I'm interested at the plan to rescue Elijah. You know, the good brother. The one who is now in the possession of your mortal enemy after you stabbed him in the back.'' Hayley said.

'' In the front, if we're being specific.'' Klaus said and I grabbed a third pencil only to be stopped by Rebekah.

'' You three said that you would get him back. So is there a plan, or what?'' Hayley asked again.

'' Okay. Well, firstly, Marcel is not my mortal enemy, he's my friend, albeit one who is unaware that I'm trying to sabotage his hold over the supernatural community of the French Quarter, but a friend nonetheless. And secondly, I daggered Elijah in order to gain Marcel's trust. If I had known he would place my brother in the hands of a particularly nasty teenaged witch, I certainly would have weighed my options a bit differently. And thirdly, sister, please.'' he said to Rebekah to finish.

'' And thirdly, the plan, as you have demanded, is for Niklaus to simply ask Marcel for Elijah back.'' Rebekah said and Hayley looked at us confused.

'' That's... that's not the whole plan, is it?'' Hayley asked and Klaus smirked.

'' Please, Klaus may be a miserable excuse for a sibling, but there is none more diabolical.'' Rebekah said.

'' And that's only the Plan A, love. There's always a Plan B.'' Klaus said.

'' And what's Plan B?'' Hayley asked.

''War.'' I said.

Rebekah and I were walking through the French Quarter when Klaus called her phone. She picked it up and placed it on her ear.

'' Niklaus, for the love of Mary Magdalene, how long does it take to ask a simple question?'' she asked.

'' Much longer than you'd think, considering the answer was, as expected, "no". Marcel's man, Thierry, is suspicious. He thinks you killed 10 nightwalkers.'' Klaus said through the phone.

'' Well, that's a lie. I only killed 8. Should I make Thierry the ninth?'' Rebekah asked angrily.

'' Marcel is playing friendly. We can't kill the favorite son, or he'll catch onto us.'' Klaus said.
