The One (Hayley Marshall)

Maze finally gets to New Orleans after Elijah filled her in on what was happening here

She messages her brother asking where he is and finally getting an answer

•••

She was about to walk in the graveyard but She was blocked Maze looks up saw Elijah and random witch talking

"hey witchy, let me come in" Maze yells which makes they turn to look at her

"who is she" the witch asks looking at Elijah

"that would be my sister, Mazikeen. You can let her in" Elijah says and the witch looks at her

"come in" the witch says Maze walks over to stand beside her brother and the witch continues talking

"like I was saying until my sister Jane-anne met a girl, a werewolf, passing through the quarter from a small town in Virginia. She had a special connection with your brother" the witch says

"what kind of connection" Elijah asks curiously

"it means they boned Lijah" Maze says then look at the witch

"isn't that right?" Maze asks the witch and she nods her head 'yes'

"and now this special werewolf girl she's pregnant and the father of the child she's carrying is you brother klaus" the witch says

"holy shit" Maze mutters to herself with shock written all over her face

"it's impossible" Elijah says not believing it

"nothing is impossible especially not when it comes to your brother. Think about it they call him the hybrid right" the witch says

"bring her out" the witch yells and a couple more witches come out with this beautiful girl

"who the hell are you" the girl says angrily

"give us a moment please" Elijah says

•••

"so have the been holding you hear against your will" Elijah asks

"they lured me out to the bayou and grabbed me then they did all these weird witchy test not that I understand how this could happen I mean vampires are dead they can't have children" the girl says

"perhaps if you knew my brothers story it might explain how this is possible. Here. if I may... " Elijah says reached out to touch her temple

"what are you doing" the girl asks

"relax. If you open your mind to me I can show you" Elijah says while he was doing his mind trick

•••

"he wasn't just a vampire" Elijah says

"he was also a werewolf. That's how the werewolf curse works. It isn't activated until you take a life" the girl says

"Niklaus was the result of an indiscretion our mother had hidden from us all and afraid we with a werewolf like yourself" Elijah says he started to do that mind trick again

•••

"your dad was a dick" the girl says Elijah chuckles

"that isn't half of it" Maze mutters to herself

"I'm Hayley by the way, you should probably know my name if you're gonna tell me your whole life story I mean I know yours. Your family is legendary. Your brother is a notorious psycho who I slept with classic me " Haley says

"oh sweetheart, I've slept with worse" Maze says thinking about a certain Salvatore with grimace

"I cannot excuse his behavior but your must understand that our father hunted him. Hunted us for centuries every time we found a moment of happiness we were forced to flee even here in new Orleans where we were happiest of all not long after niklaus broke the spell which prevented him from becoming a hybrid he defeated our father I thought this would make him happy he was angrier than ever. I wonder if perhaps this baby might have a way from my brother to find happiness a way to save him from himself" Elijah said then the witch came in

"I'm glad you feel that way because we need your help" the witch says Elijah turns around

"what precisely is it that you want and what does it have to do with young woman?" Elijah asks in a wondering tone

"we want to run Marcel and his vampires out of town Klaus is the key everything Marcel knows about being a vampire he learned from Klaus. Marcel trusts him looks up to him he won't see the betrayal coming" the witch says making Maze look at her surprised

"Not gonna lie that he died a while ago" Maze mutters to herself

"I think its funny you think you can control my brother" Maze says with a raised eyebrow at the witch's bravery

"it's why I bought Elijah here Marcel drove the werewolves out of town decades ago do you really think he's going to welcome a hybrid baby to the neighborhood. Convince Klaus to help us and no one has to know about the newest member of the original family" the witch says

"that sounds remarkably like blackmail" Elijah says

"like I said I'm desperate" the witch says

"well then I have my work cut for me don't I" Elijah says and leaves I just smirk and lean against the wall

"what's your name?" Maze asks confused at who she is

"Sophie" the witch says
