28.Chapter

Song to this chapter: Ruelle- Secrets And Lies

Hayley carded desperately in the metal handcuffs that held her to the operating table. She closed her eyes, tensed her muscles, flooded with adrenaline, but the handcuffs did not allow.
"Help, anyone, please!" I started screaming.
"Just keep screaming, no one will hear you here. We're in a deserted place." an unknown figure entered the room.
"Who are you, what do you want from me?" I tried to loosen the handcuffs, but I didn't move with them either.
"I'm Gerard Argent, I believe you know my son Chris. You must be Hayley. I've heard a lot about you."
"Why am I here?"
"I'm looking for someone and I feel like you know where I can find him. I'm looking for Klaus Mikaelson, I've heard you ran away from him for a while, too."
"I won't tell you anything. I don't know where he is." the handcuffs began to loosen a little, I almost managed to loosen from the grip.
"But I know where your pack and your baby are, so start talking so fast."
"Please." I rang and hot tears ran down my cheeks. Argent ignored my pleas, aimed at my neck, and slowly inserted the needle of the infectious syringe under my skin. It was a wolfs bane. The fluid he sprayed burned me in my veins.
"I will hurt everyone you care about and kill you one last time to see how your loved one is suffering. So shall we agree? The life of your loved ones is important information."

Appalachian Mountains, George

I've been trying to call Hayley for hours. Derek, Sergei and Spike went to search the area, I stayed home in case she came back. This was not like Hayley's. Something bad had to happen again. I don't feel good about it. She was in front of the cabin and the next minute I came out she was no longer there.
A car stopped in front of the cabin. I didn't recognize him. It had the brand of the Slovak Republic. A tall young man with a beard stepped out. He looked like that for twenty-five years.
"Hello, are you lost? How can I help you?" I approached the man with Luna in my arms.
"Actually, yes, I'm looking for someone. His name is Derek. He said he'd be at this address."
"Yes, he lives here. May I ask where you know each other and what your name is?"
"Oh, I'm sorry about the rudeness. I'm Gumo. I come from Slovakia, more precisely from Kysúce. I saved Derek when he was nine years old in front of a group of werewolf hunters. We've known each other since then. You must be George. He told me about you in a mail. "
"Come on in, Derek's gone somewhere, but you can wait for him inside."
"Very happy. And you don't have to shout at me. Feel free to call me Gumo."
"Okay, will you have a drink with me, Gumo?"
"No, thank you. I'm here by car, I can't drink. Isn't there an area nearby to sleep?"
"You can stay with us, there are plenty of rooms."
"Really? That would be great."
"Whoever is Derek's friend is also my friend. You're always welcome here. If you can ask which one of you is older, then if you don't mind?"
"Me, I'm twenty-five years old, but actually fifty. You're Alpha, aren't you? I'm also Alpha-Omega, my pack and family were killed by a supernatural hunter, Benedikt Jäger. I found a clue and I thought Derek would help me."
"Yes, I've only been Alpha for a few years. Derek and I have been friends for a long time and always stand by me. He helped me the first time I became a werewolf and helped me control myself during my first transformation. He's a real friend. I'm very sorry I hope you will get your revenge. Come, I will show you your room. " I went to take Luna to my crib and took Gumo into one of the rooms. I heard a keying and quick breathing. I went downstairs and Hayley stood in the hallway, shaking.
"Hayley, honey, what happened? You're shaking. Where have you been?" I asked, hugging her tightly.
"Gerard Argent. He kidnapped me, but I don't remember how. I only have a window I know that I woke up strapped to the operating table."
"What? Didn't he hurt you? What did he want from you?"
"He injected me with wolfs bane. I'm a little weakened and I'm fine. He wanted to know where Klaus was. He threatened me and I told him where he was. Klaus would kill me if he found out I had betrayed him. George what should I do now? " Tears streamed down her cheeks.
"Don't worry, he won't know. He'll think he found him by chance. He's been looking for him for so many years, he has to find him one day."
"He also asked about Samuel. I don't know what he wants from him."
"It's weird... don't cry anymore, if he finds him, Argent will kill him and he'll never know how he found him." I managed to calm her down a bit. She went to bed and I paid attention to Luna and Gumo. I also called Derek that Hayley was home.

New Orleans, Louisiana - Klaus

I just finished painting another picture of Jennifer holding little Leah in her arms. This picture is one of my favorites. It's been a few weeks since Leah was born, and we're all really happy about her. Today we want to organize a party in honor of our little daughter. The mayor offered to have a party in her house. We gladly accepted the offer.
"What do I owe for this visit?" I looked away from the portrait and fixed my eyes on Samuel.
"There was a minor problem."
"What's the matter?"
"Someone who's trying to kill you for sixty-five years has come to me and asked me for help. Such a small thing. He wanted me to turn him into a vampire because he wants to be stronger and he knew you wouldn't expect it."
"So you changed him."
"Yes, it may be that I did it because you know the enemy of my enemy is my friend. We had the same goal, to kill you. I wanted it too, but then I remembered that I was better and that I was not like you, so I thought I changed my mind and I want to help you. "
"And how do you want to help me?" I asked with interest.
"Simply, we'll kill him together and your problem will go away forever. He plans to kill you at a party tonight."
"Tell me why, I shouldn't have killed you on the spot."
"I'll save your life. I told you what he was up to. Trust me, I wanted your death but Jennifer is happy and I wish it to her. I know we've had conflicts with each other, but that's in the past. I want to live in the present. I don't want my niece to grew up without a father. So we come up with a plan or do you still want to kill me? "
"How do I know I can trust you?"
"You don't know, but I want to help you. He doesn't expect me to betray him. We have an advantage. He wants me to lure you out the back door. He can't enter the house. and I have to drive a white oak stake into your heart. "
"So we'll play it, and you'll actually stab him. Okay, agreed, but I still don't trust you, Samuel. Don't try to trip me up."
Later in the evening, the party was in full swing and it was crowded with people from all over the city. Everyone wanted to see our daughter. I gave a toast and then everyone came back to the party. The clock struck midnight, Samuel came to me and called me out the back door as scheduled.
"Which is so important, Samuel, that I have to leave the party I organized myself." I said when we were out.
"Klaus Mikaelson. You ran away from me for years, but now I've finally found you."
"Gerard Argent. What a nice surprise." I said with fear in my eyes. Argent used vampire speed to grab me by the throat, but I twisted his arm and threw him to the ground.
"I see you're a vampire, but I'm older and stronger. You can't beat me." I said and fixed my suit.
I took the Agent off the ground and pushed him against the wall. I saw Samuel pull out the stake and fix his eyes on me.
"Kill him now, Samuel. Do it!" shouted Argent.
He just stood there for a moment and then approached me. I let Argent go, and Samuel stabbed him in the heart.
"Sorry." he said.
"But it took you a while. You hesitated. Did you think you would betray me?"
"But it was only three seconds." Samuel defended himself.
"Everything can go wrong in three seconds. Get rid of the body. I'll be back for the party." with those words I went back inside.
