Chapter 69

I stood in a tightly-packed Jackson Square next to Klaus accompanied by Lucien as Nik stared at an art piece. "He's no Van Gogh and I believe he has a future but can we find Camille, wrap this up and go home?" I stated breaking the silence. Klaus sighed. "I painted this." Nik said looking at me. "I know." I said with a smirk. "I painted it for Camille and gave it to her as a gift." Klaus said grabbing it and flipping it over. He took out a note. "Oh look...Now Aurora has you going to church. How wonderful. Never took you for the religious type." I said sarcastically. "This is completely absurd. Why do you care so much for this mortal anyway?" Lucien asked. "I trust her. Which is more than I can say for you. Now if you're here to help us. Then help us. If not...then bugger off." Klaus said before walking away. Lucien looked at me. "Was it something I said?" He asked. "No. It was everything you said." I said before abruptly leaving to catch up with Nik.

I sat in my apartment with Hope and Jackson's grandmother. "When will you make up with that Mikaelson boy?" She asked. "What?" I asked caught off guard. "Hayley. I get that you're married to Jack but it doesn't take much to know that you and the fox aren't exactly on good terms anymore." She said. "The only reason we were wolves was because of that conniving fox." I stated getting angry just thinking about him. "You're not the only one angry at him, you know?" She questioned. "What's that supposed to mean?" I asked. "Please. You've been eavesdropping on those bloodsuckers across the street for weeks. You can't possibly fool me with a innocent question like that, Hayley." She stated. "Why are you defending them?" I asked standing up. "He cursed me, Jack, and the rest of pack to be wolves! Who the hell does that?!" I shouted. "I don't condone his actions Hayley. But I do recall Marcel told you he wasn't himself." Mary said. "That doesn't make up for the fact that he sided with Dahlia!" I fumed. Mary sighed. "This isn't my problem to fix. But someone needs to grow up and grow a pair because you don't have it in yourself to forgive a man that wasn't in his right mind!" Mary said. "Get out." I spat with a growl. She left without a word and I took a deep breath flustered.
