[ This chapter will be holding HEAVY THEMES please be warned of triggering content ]     

        If you want to save your brother , turn it off . 

Stefan didn't remember much after that part for when he had turned off his humanity there was a part of his brain that had turned off and another had started to blare bright red flashing lights . Red , red -- blood. His heart had belonged to Elena but there had been too many conflicting emotions and now there had been nothing and his feelings for the brunette female had been nothing but a hollow feeling at this point and all he had cared about was what the Mikaelson had compelled of him . He had arrived in New Orleans not long after, but had found himself out of the French Quarter before he could unpack his metaphorical bag. He had been on a plane to San Fransisco with one goal in mind, two compelled notions. Get the witch pregnant and compel and kill the male .

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

' You didn't tell me why you did what you did to that poor girl . ' Hayley had yelled at Klaus, watching him as he had seemed completely unfazed by the way that she had been getting mad , but at the same time if Hayley had known she still wouldn't have understood. ' I am doing this to protect our daughter, love . ' Klaus had finally responded after a few moments of silence , the glass that had been in his hand had been placed on the table next to him as he had pushed himself up and out of the chair to move over to her . ' There is a witch in the Quarter who can make Hope a talisman to keep her safe and hidden , but it has to be powerful for she is no ordinary baby . ' his hand had moved to her stomach , to gently rub against their little one who had taken to kicking at his hand . 

Of course with this, lives would be lost but he would do anything, put anyones life at risk as long as his daughter would be safe. Hayley had wanted to protest more , wanted to push his hand away from her , but there had been a rather loud crash and it was as if the reality of the situation had sunk into Klaus. Stefan had disappeared for a while , probably to enjoy in the nightlife of New Orleans so to ask him to check in on the situation had been gone and he had realized how crucial his intervention had been for the witch and his brother. Klaus had moved from Hayley quickly as he had stormed into his brothers room , watching the scene unfold in front of him, the destruction of the room and how he had the petite witch pinned against the wall in a werewolf venom induced temper tantrum of sorts and it wasn't long before he had been ripping him off of her and force-feeding his blood to Elijah to allow him to heal from the wound he had inflicted upon him. 

The entire scene had been one that Klaus had known too well, but there was only one person that he had been focused on and it had been the Claire witch who had been sat on the floor now , fingers brushing against her throat where purple and blue had started to bloom on olive kissed skin . ' are you okay , love ? ' he asked, and with expectation she had smacked his hand away , pushing him away from her as if she had been touched by something white hot . ' this is your fault . ' she hissed , her hand to her stomach as she stood up , a small pain radiating through her as she had pushed by him to exit the room , not wanting to deal with Klaus, not wanting to deal with the entirety of the situation . 

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

It had been hours later and Hayley had been laying in bed with him , still stuck on the thought of Davina carrying his baby, the jealousy that seemed to strike her but also worry her as well. Was Davina's baby going to be killed for the safety of her own , and what would happen to the Kaleb guys family if they ever find out that he had been murdered for her once more . ' Will her baby survive ? ' she had to ask, she had to know the answer so that she would attempt to intervene if needed , that she would tell Klaus that they could find another way to save their baby . But klaus had wanted to lie to her , had wanted to tell her that she would only have to give up a little but of blood but there had been no guarantee that only a little would satisfy the spell . ' no . ' his word was so simple but it had been filled with an incredible amount of regret and guilt, not wanting to take the life of a child but he had to protect her . ' Then I won't let you do it , we are not giving a life for a life . We are not going to make her go through the tragedy of losing her child . ' 

hours had passed since that conversation, they had finally fallen asleep but there had been the sound of a cell phone in a few rooms away that had woken up Elijah . He had found himself searching for his phone, Davinas name flashing bright and without hesitation he had answered the phone to a stonecold davina, asking him to come over and to bring over cleaning supplies . He had wanted to argue, to ask her why she had required them but he had collected the supplies he had needed and left the abattoir and arrived at her hotel not too long after.

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

The scene before him had been one that didn't surprise him in the sense of the amount of blood , but where it had come from had been what scared him the most . The female had been on her knees, drenched from the waist down in the red liquid as her arms and face had been covered from her scrubbing the carpet and wiping at her eyes to stop the tears from falling . It was like a horror story , there were too many questions but he had known that she had to be taken care of and there was no way that they were going to stay there, no way that she was going to clean up the mess of her unborn baby . He had left the room quickly , compelling another room and to inform them that the room needed to be cleaned and to not ask any questions. His walk back to the room had been a bit slower than it had been to leave, but it had left him time to think , to wonder if Klaus would react in a way that would cause harm to the woman he had loved. 

He had gotten back to the room and he had grabbed her stuff , watching as she had continued to scrub the floor and had urged her to her feet , asking her to leave it and to go with him . she had looked like she had come straight from a horror story but he didn't comment, only brought her to the new room and helped her strip out of the bloody clothes and listened as she sobbed when she had been free of them . ' do you need help ? ' he asked her sweetly , pushing her hair back as he looked down at her , how she had seemed to be in shock still and he didn't want her to stress herself . A nod of her head had them both stripped down and under warm water , Elijahs hands moving lightly over her form to clean her of the blood , wanting to avoid any points of her body that would trigger a negative reaction , but had resulted in wrapped his arms around her to show her comfort . The night had been filled with apologies , soft touches and tears.

The next morning had felt just as numb as the night before , she had woke up with a numb emptiness but this time she had woke up in bed next to the man she had wanted to wake up with for months now. Not rushing to get home to another but allowing herself to stay curled up in his embrace even though she had wanted to push him away , didn't want to get too attached. But she had known that it was too late , Elijah was her one and only . ' what are you thinking about ? ' the question had surprised her , not expecting him to be awake yet but she had looked up at him with a smile . ' life . ' she had shrugged a single shoulder as she had curled into him more . ' last night . you . ' Elijah had let out a breath that had seemed like had been built up inside of him for a while , and he had shifted . ' Leave with me , Davina Claire . I have a place in Manosque, France , run away with me and live out your life there with me . '
