Turning Page [2]

LE GRAND GUIGNOL

"Where is she?" Elijah asked Nat as he entered their room. Nat shut her eyes for a moment before turning around and looking at him in confusion.

"Huh?"

"Hayley. Where is she?" Elijah asked her as he walked closer.

"What do you mean? Isn't she in her room?" Nat acted dumb, knowing perfectly well where the werewolf was. He narrowed his eyes and Nat frowned.

"She's gone from her room." Nat's eyes widened slightly and she looked at the door in confusion. "Natalia. Do you know where she is?"

"I don't!" She exclaimed defensively and he raised an eyebrow.

"What happened after we left yesterday?"

"We just talked for a while and then she left for her room. She said she was tired and wanted to sleep, so she left."

"And what did you do?"

"What do you- why am I being questioned?" She asked him defensively and she shrugged.

"You were the last to see her before she disappeared."

"I came here and fell asleep after some time, Elijah. I don't know where she went." She snapped before walking out of the room. She heard him sigh and then she heard footsteps behind her.

"I'm sorry." She ignored him as she headed to Klaus' room, but before she could enter, he grabbed her arm and turned her around. "I'm sorry. I'm not blaming you. I just-"

"I know." Nat cut him off and he looked at her. "You're on edge because of Bekah and Marcel. We'll fix this, okay?" He nodded and let go of her arm. Nat walked inside the room and walked towards the bed, seeing Klaus lying shirtless with his eyes closed and gasping softly in pain. She looked at him sadly and raised a hand, brushing some hair from his forehead.

"This was all him." Elijah said quietly and Nat sighed before turning back to him. "I need to find Monique Deveraux."

"What for?"

"She may know where Celeste is."

"You think she has Hayley?" Nat asked as he tried to keep calm. Celeste didn't have Hayley, it was the other way round.

"It wouldn't surprise me. She is determined to destroy this family and Hayley is the perfect target for that." Elijah muttered and Nat nodded slowly. "Which is why you need to call Camille and tell her to get here as fast as she can."

"What for?"

"She seems to be the only one to keep him at bay." Elijah pointed at his brother. "She may be able to convince him to not go after Rebekah." Nat nodded in realization as she got her phone out.

"On it." She called the blonde human and waited a few seconds until she picked up.

"Nat?"

"Hey, Cami. I, uh... I need you to come to the compound as soon as possible."

"Why? What's going on?" Cami asked in confusion and Nat looked at Elijah, but he shook his head.

"Just come quickly. I'll explain when you get here, okay?" Cami sighed before hanging up. Elijah walked out of the room and Nat followed him as he headed to the study. He started going through the bookshelves, looking for a book presumably. "What are you looking for?"

"Celeste will only keep jumping into different bodies." He told her as he grabbed one of Esther's grimoires and placed it on the desk. "I can't let that happen again, so I'm going to have Monique Deveraux cast a spell to stop her once and for all."
