That night Hayley slept with a troubled mind. She was crafty but Katherine Pierce had five hundred years on her. Hayley could kill her but she also needed to have powerful people on her side. Even though she had liked Katherine's character on the show, Hayley cursed at having attracted the vampire's attention. If anyone ever gave Katherine a mile, the doppelgänger took the whole highway.

Hayley needed to be more cruel with her magic and more crafty with her strategies. Thus, Katherine Pierce's enemies would gladly be her friends.

".."

Hayley sat on Finn's closed coffin, watching the Original do some sort of fighting routine. He'd once explained that it was what his Viking father taught him and how old habits died hard.

In fact, aside from seemingly enjoying her company and their occasional verbal flirting, the older man was a mute.

He never said zilch about his family and that's what Hayley had been interested in. At first.

Now she was just glad to have a friend — even if it was in her dreams — that knew of her nature and was also part of the supernatural. In Finn's clearing, there was no pretense. No fake emotions. She could laze around all the time, be free of the real world's troubles. She could speak if she wanted to and not utter a word if she did not want to. Side by side, the two supernaturals had found a precious companion in each other. Pity it only lasted while she was asleep.

Usually, Hayley would be lazing around, minding her own business but time was precious today.

With Katherine in her peripheral vision, Hayley had to know the real story of the Mikaelson and see if she could bring something to their table. Life was all about give and take. If she could help them, they would be great allies against the Petrova.

Hayley was not stupid. Even though Finn rarely talked about his siblings, she would catch his eyes whenever he talked about something that would please his younger sister or a joke that would've made his brothers laugh. His eyes were full of a love so potent and unconditional that even she had to look away.

It was not like this in the show. Finn was the momma's boy. The traitor to his siblings. He was only loyal to Esther and did everything and anything to finally kill his siblings. So what had happened on this earth? What exactly changed? Hayley was determined to know.
