The Originals Season 1 | The Ties that bind us

Après Moi, Le Deluge

(Yo it's the author lmao. I know this messes up the story line but Ima just say Hayley is like 5 months pregnant and Marie is 7 so then when Marie is full term for Hope's birth, Hope will be a premie cause I need it for that episode script and since this is my story I can do whatever I want ;))

M A R I E

Hayley was sitting next to Klaus as I stood next to Elijah helping him explain the history of witches.

"The Italians call us the Strega, the Yoruba of West Africa call us Aje. Meaning 'Mother'" I tell them

"Where my mother was from, they were called Hexa and here, we call them witch. Over the centuries, vampires have fought them and fought beside them, bedded them and burned them. Whether adversary or ally, they have been a force to be reckoned with. Their ancestral magic anchors this city, there's never been one all-powerful witch until Davina" Elijah said as he noticed my tired body and pulled out a chair for me to sit down

"Who is now tucked in, safe and sound down the hallway under my protection." Klaus proudly stated standing up to get a closer look at the drawing next to me, leaving Hayley's side. "Your Celeste was quite beautiful and a portent of evil, according to our volatile artist in residence"

I rolled my eyes, "You mean prisoner." Klaus glared at me

"What more do you want of me Marie? Should I just let her roam freely in the Quarter or out in the open for witches to grab?"

"You shouldn't keep her locked up in a bedroom Niklaus. She's still a child." I defend her

Hayley stands up to stop us bickering and says, "Maybe Davina is mistaken, maybe Celeste isn't a warning for evil."

"Yes, perhaps Davina's mistaken what she calls evil for power. Celeste was certainly very powerful in her day but she's been dead for over 200 years. I don't understand why, why all these sketches now?" Elijah inquired walking away to look out a window, my eyes following suit.

"Why does any witch do anything?" Klaus said smirking at me

"Watch it Klaus, I'm carrying two humans inside of me, it's not very comfortable. Don't make me shut you up." I say angry as I walk away from him to lay down on the couch and Hayley follows me and sits on a chair next to me

From upstairs a loud crash erupted in the house, I look to Elijah who looks puzzled

"Oh, that's going well," Klaus commented

"Well if you're trying to win the girl's trust, perhaps poisoning her one true love was not the most splendid idea." Elijah suggested

"He did what?!" I scream, "Klaus when will you ever learn! Man the girls are going to hate you!" I laugh

"Oh, are there any other inopportune deaths you'd like to wave in my face? And Marie, I won't need to worry about that because my daughters won't date until they're at least 100"

"Give me a month I'll give you a list."

I rolled my eyes at their banter, I looked to Hayley and she was just quiet

"Hayles" I say her name in concern, "Are you okay?"

Klaus walked over to her, "Are you alright?"

Hayley looks at us unable to speak, "Yeah I'm fine, I've just been in this house for 5 months and I haven't seen the sunlight. Its just sucky being trapped here." she says quickly

Something is going on here.

"Well love, I wouldn't want the witches to find out about a new miracle baby" Klaus explains
