Stiles would say that the Mikaelson's are massive fans of over-dramatic entrances. And he'd be right but this little plan on how to get everyone's attention immediately is all Stiles. Which makes Klaus smirk at the spark as they wait.
It's fight night at the compound and the first round has begun. They are all watching and listening from nearby. Elijah has a frown on his face and he keeps fiddling with his cuff-links, making his nervousness clear to anyone that knows him. Stiles, however, is standing stock-still. Making his fury obvious to anyone that knows him. And Klaus...Klaus is preparing for a fight.
"Damn, girl!" Klaus hears Marcel's voice as they watch the female vampire win her round. "Not bad!"
Perfect.
One second the crowd as cheering and the next they are silent as the sound of a neck snapping and the fact that Elijah, Stiles and Klaus are now standing in the building, makes itself clear.
"Good evening!" Klaus greats the now quiet crowd. "I'd like a word."
"What do you think your doing?" Marcel asks, obviously annoyed.
"Making an entrance." Stiles informs.
"It appears that we've interrupted a collection of filthy amateurs! We've come here for the girl. Give her to us, or we kill everyone here...staring with you." Elijah threatens.
"You three have a lot of nerve, coming into my home and making demands." Marcel huffs.
"Your home, is it?" Klaus asks.
"The girl! I will not ask again." Elijah demands.
"I assume you're talking about Hayley? Yea high, dark hair, bitchy attitude? Who is she, anyway?" Marcel questions.
"She is the girl thats carrying my children, so I highly suggest giving her back before I get angry." Stiles says, clear warning in his voice.
Klaus enjoys the way that the vampires around Stiles laugh at the boy. It will make it so much sweeter when Stiles shows them who they should be afraid of.
"One magic user against all of my guys? I know who I'd be betting on. But it doesn't matter because I don't have her." Marcel mocks.
Klaus knows instantly that, that is the wrong thing to say. As a cruel smile stretches over Stiles lips.
"Kneel." Stiles orders, voice barely above a whisper.
Marcel and all of his people fall to the ground on their knees.
"What the hell?!" Marcel exclaims.
"Now, I'm not going to ask again. Where is Hayley?" Stiles asks.
"Look I haven't got her. Yes, yes, I did pay her a little visit earlier tonight. But I left her right there." Marcel says sounding genuinely worried.
Klaus thinks that Marcel has probably noticed that Davina hasn't come to his rescue.
"She isn't here." Stiles admits.
"Are you sure?" Elijah inquires.
"My magic checked the whole place, including the weird underground area. No Hayley." Stiles informs. "Looks like I'm going to have to do a locator spell."
#####
Hayley wakes with a start. She's laying on her side in complete darkness. Attempting to roll onto her back doesn't work, making her realise that she's likely in the trunk of a vehicle. Moving her hands also isn't going to work on account of them being bound to each other, making moving difficult. The same is true of her ankles.
Something makes her pause and hold her breath, it takes her a second to realise the reason. They've stopped moving. Next thing Hayley knows, she's listening in to the driver getting out of the vehicle and making their way to the back. Taking a deep breath, Hayley prepares herself.
The moment the trunk opens Hayley starts kicking.
"Seriously?" A familiar voice says in annoyance.
Hayley stops fighting and looks out, incredulous.
"Tyler?" She questions.
"You don't want to fight me Hayley. You know you can't beat a hybrid." Tyler warns before picking her up.
"Ahh! Let me go, you backstabbing half-breed piece of shi..." Hayley gets stopped when Tyler moves her and causes his shoulder to dig into her.
"Shut up!" Tyler huffs.
Tyler walks them through the trees for quite a while. Hayley tries to keep track of how far they are going but finds it hard when she's hanging upside down over Tyler's shoulder. Eventually, Tyler stops and drops her on what appears to be a front stoop of a run-down shack.
"What is this place?" Hayley inquires as she looks around.
"The armpit of Louisiana." Tyler states before pulling out a knife.
"What are you gonna do with that?" Hayley asks, fear obvious in her voice.
"Depends on you." Tyler says before carefully cutting away the zip-ties around her ankles.
"Hey you attacked me, remember? You ambushed me, in my own backyard." Hayley reminds.
"It's not your backyard, it's Klaus', you're shacked up in that mansion with that psycho. A long way from the girl I've met in the Appalachians, helping other werewolves." Tyler points out.
"Tyler, I'm sorry, but a lot has happened since the last time I saw you." Hayley pleads.
"You mean that you're pregnant? A hybrid baby, yeah, I know all about that. I've been roaming around the bayou, asking questions. Let me tell you what I learned!" Tyler pulls down Hayley's shirt to show her crescent moon birthmark. "The crescent birthmark means you come from a big-shot family. Some kind of royalty for the werewolves of this region. And right here, this is all that's left of them."
Hayley looks around again before her eyes catch on a blond woman watching them from the tree line.
"Hey!" Hayley yells making the woman startle and run away. "Help me!"
"They can't help you! They're in the woods, hiding, because they were persecuted by decades by vampires." Tyler yells at her, like it's somehow her fault.
"Is this her?" A new voice asks, making Hayley look over.
"Yeah, Dwayne. Get her inside." Tyler orders.
"Tyler? Tyler!" Hayley yells when Dwayne picks her up and brings her inside the shack.
#####
Stiles locator spell took them into the bayou. Which is why Stiles is now in the middle of Louisiana bayou, with the sun baring down on him and nature attempting to stick to him.
"We should head south towards the water." Elijah suggests.
"You seem quite determined to find the little wolf." Klaus states.
"If I'm moving to fast for you Niklaus, you're welcome to wait in the car. Do be certain to leave the windows down." Elijah retorts.
"Have I touched a nerve? You've begun to admire this girl." Klaus starts and Stiles knows exactly where this is going.
"Klaus, Elijah isn't catching feelings for Hayley, he's literally just looking after the mother of our children." Stiles defends.
"Is that what you think?" Elijah asks Klaus. "Just because I don't treat her like a walking incubator. Doesn't mean I've gained romantic feelings for the woman."
"She's your type." Klaus insists before pausing.
"Have you found her scent?" Elijah inquires.
"No, but I found someone else's." Klaus informs before walking through a row of trees.
Stiles and Elijah follow and find themselves staring at a truck.
"This vehicle reeks of someone I thought I was rid of...Tyler Lockwood." Klaus huffs.
Stiles winces.
"Oh that's not good." Stiles groans.
"And why would your little hybrid-sidekick from Mystic Falls have any interest in Hayley?" Elijah questions.
"Oh god, where to begin." Stiles mutters.
"Back when I first started making hybrids, he was my first...he didn't exactly have much say in the matter." Klaus explains.
"Keep going." Stiles tells him.
"He was loyal at first, but he grew insubordinate, turned my other hybrids against me. I couldn't have that, so I massacred the lot of them. Tyler ran like a coward before I could finish him off." Klaus says and Stiles can't help but notice the way that Klaus skirted around the truth.
"And by that he means, that Tyler turned his hybrids against him and set up a plan that would have removed both Klaus and Rebekah from the board entirely. Klaus didn't just kill them because they weren't playing nice." Stiles corrects.
Klaus waves his hand at him as he searches the truck.
"Anything else you'd both like to share?" Elijah asks, as he rubs his forehead.
"He thinks we killed his mother." Stiles offers. "...and Rebekah may have killed all of his friends on the way out of Mystic Falls."
"What?!" Both Originals exclaim as they turn to look at him.
"But the good news is that his mother is still alive so we can use that against him." Stiles offers.
"Rebekah killed them all?" Klaus asks.
"Yeah, She killed Elena and Matt because they killed Kol. She killed Stefan and Caroline because they were in on the plan to kill Finn. And finally Bonnie's dead because she helped Esther attempt to kill you all." Stiles explains.
"Wonderful." Elijah sighs. "Tyler is going to kill Hayley."
"No he isn't because I'm going to kill Tyler Lockwood myself." Klaus states before picking up Stiles and running off.
#####
Hayley is sat in the shack, zip-tied to a stove, when Tyler eventually joins her.
"Tyler, there's been a wolf watching me lately. You're a hybrid, you can turn into a wolf whenever you want...was it you?" Hayley questions.
"No, you're right...only hybrids can control when they change. And I'm the only one left, besides Klaus. Which is why we're here." Tyler says, confused.
"Whatever you think you're doing, you know that whole Original family as made some sort of pact, or something, to keep me and the baby safe. So, if you hurt me they will kill you." Hayley warns.
"What makes you think I'm afraid to die?" Tyler says before turning to Dwayne. "You ready for this?"
"Let's do it." Dwayne nods.
Hayley watches as Tyler searches through a bag before pulling out a large syringe.
"What are you doing?" Hayley asks.
Dwayne walks over and holds Hayley down as Tyler crouches in front of her.
"Tyler, please. No! Tyler!" Hayley yells.
"Klaus destroyed everything good in my life! So, I'm gonna take away the thing he wants most." Tyler informs.
"No, please! Tyler, please!" Hayley screams as Tyler jams the needle into Hayley's stomach.
Tyler eventually pulls out the needle before pushing it into Dwayne's neck and injecting the blood into him. Hayley watches as Tyler snaps the mans neck.
"Don't get all judgy! Dwayne knew what he was getting into. He volunteered." Tyler defends his actions.
"For you to kill him?" Hayley inquires.
"Dwayne is a werewolf who died with your blood in his system. The same blood you share with your hybrid babies." Tyler informs.
"You're trying to turn him into a hybrid? That's impossible!" Hayley exclaims.
"I've been running with wolf packs all over the country. One of them was tight with a witch. She had nightmare visions about your babies and how Klaus could use its blood to make an army of Hybrid slaves." Tyler explains.
"I'm sick of these witches and their premonitions about my babies. They are just babies!" Hayley huffs.
"Maybe. Maybe not. That's where Dwayne comes in. You see, he was happy to be the test case. If you haven't noticed, these people don't have much to live for. They'd all welcome the chance to become the superior species. Trouble is, all hybrids are sired to Klaus. They follow his every move. No way I let that happen." Tyler practically snarls.
"How can you be so sure Klaus knows what the baby's blood will do?" Hayley questions but even she can feel her own doubt creeping in.
"What do you think? Klaus' Mikaelson, killer of men, women and puppies, all of a sudden wants to be a daddy? Or, he's got an ulterior motive. Hybrids can walk in the sun. Their bite is lethal to vampires. They'll take over New Orleans by the end of the week. And you know what's going to stop Klaus then? Nothing." Tyler growls.
A sudden gasping sound breaks the tension causing them both to look over at the now awake Dwayne.
"You're going to have to feed on her." Tyler tells the in transition werewolf.
Tyler picks up his knife and holds her in place as he cuts a line down the side of her neck.
"Ahhh!" Hayley yells out in pain.
"Do it." Tyler order Dwayne.
Dwayne walk over and drinks from Hayley's bleeding neck before he suddenly stops and falls to the floor. Hayley watches in horror as Dwayne convulses. Tyler pushes Dwayne out of the shack.
Hayley looks down at the floor as she takes in the fact that Klaus has just been using her when her eyes catch on Tyler's knife. She attempts to pick it up but it's too far away from her so instead she settles for the now broken chair leg.
Hayley can hear yelling from outside until it all goes quiet, then Tyler is walking back into the shack with a grim look on his face.
"It worked, didn't it? He's a hybrid." Hayley says.
"If Klaus gets a hold of you, if he gets those kids. He wins." Tyler states.
"Then help me hide them from him!" Hayley pleads. "Help me run!"
"Hell find you, he has Stiles convinced that he's in love with him. You can't hide from a spark. He'll take your kids away, and he'll make more hybrid monsters. Slaves who do everything he says." Tyler denies.
"Tyler, whatever you're thinking of doing, there has to be another way. You're not like this!" Hayley begs.
Tyler shakes his head an continues to move towards her so in a moment of desperation Hayley strikes and stabs him in the gut with the broken chair leg.
"That was stupid!" Tyler yells.
"Get away from her!" Dwayne suddenly shouts.
"What do you care?" Tyler scoffs.
"I said get away!" Dwayne orders.
"You got what you wanted, now get lost!" Tyler demands.
"Dwayne, he's gonna kill me! And hes gonna kill you, too! He said that hybrids are too dangerous to live! You need to stop him!" Hayley pleads.
"Shut up!" Tyler screams.
Dwayne attacks Tyler, sending him across the room and leaving the knife now on the floor right in front of Hayley. She grabs it and makes quick work of the zip-ties before running. She doesn't even spare a glance for Dwayne. She just runs.
#####
Hayley hides behind a tree with Tyler's knife still in her hand. She's tired and trying desperately to catch her breath whilst keeping quiet. The sound of a stick breaking and footsteps coming closer makes her freeze up. Then she relaxes, sets her feet and tightens her hold on the knife. When the footsteps are close enough she turns to attack only for her to pause.
"Forgive me! I thought you were in danger. It appears I was mistaken." Elijah's voice makes Hayley sigh in relief and lean into the vampire.
"You will not believe the crap day I'm having." Hayley says.
"I'll take you home." Elijah decides.
"Elijah, there's something you need to know about the babies." Hayley stops him.
#####
"Hayley! Don't make this harder than it has to be! Give up now...I'll end it quick." Tyler's voice makes Klaus scowl before he forces a smile onto his face.
"Quite an offer! Though, not one I'll be extending to you." Klaus says sarcastically.
"Klaus." Tyler greets, body language obviously preparing for battle.
"Hello, Tyler. You look well! I aim to change that. Threatening a pregnant girl in order to exact revenge against me? I never expected you to sink so low! I admit, I'm impressed." Klaus lies, he's furious.
"Used to hang out with you. I guess something must have rubbed off." Tyler states.
"What would Caroline say if she saw you know? Then again, guess we'll never know." Klaus smirks.
Tyler glares at Klaus before disappearing.
"I'll find you Tyler! You can't run from me!" Klaus yells as he pulls out his phone and sends a text.
'He's on his way' - Klaus
#####
Elijah paces as he digests the information that Hayley has just given him. He can't believe it. Klaus using their children to create more hybrids. But at the same time it makes perfect sense. Klaus has made it painful if they've ever attempted to settle down before, but now he's all for it? It's suspicious.
"Klaus must have known, that's the only explanation! He could care less about the babies. He just wants them to be born so he can use them to make more sired hybrids." Hayley exclaims.
Elijah finds himself shaking his head. Klaus is doing this for Stiles...right?
"Although...the way Dwayne was acting...it was more like he was sired to me." Hayley mutters.
"I should take you home." Elijah sighs.
"Are you serious? Home to what?" Hayley questions.
"Look, regardless of my brother's intentions, mine and Stiles' remain the same. I said I would protect you, even, if need be, from Klaus himself. Stiles will probably need some convincing." Elijah rubs at his temples.
"I can take care of myself. I've done it for a long time." Hayley snaps before turning around and walking off.
Elijah follows.
#####
"Hello Tyler." Stiles greets when he spots the hybrid looking at him from across the small clearing.
"Out here by yourself. That's not very smart of you." Tyler mocks but Stiles can see the ways his eyes shift around, waiting for Klaus to emerge.
"I don't need help when it comes to taking down a room of vampires, why would I need help taking down you?" Stiles asks.
Tyler's eyes glow before he speeding over to Stiles, fangs extended. Stiles rolls his eyes before gesturing with his hand for Tyler to stop. And just like that Tyler is frozen in place.
"Now, what to do with you." Stiles huffs.
"Kill me! Get it over with!" Tyler yells.
"No, I'm not going to make this easy for you. Actually no scratch that, I am. See I'm not in the murderous mood right now, which I probably should be, but oh well. So instead I'm going to ask for you to listen." Stiles say before pulling out his phone.
He rings a number and waits.
"Hey, Stiles." Tony's voice comes through the phone and Stiles knows that Tyler is listening.
"You with her?" Stiles inquires.
"Yep." Tony says.
"Put her on the phone please." Stiles instructs.
It takes a second but before Tyler knows it he's listening to a voice that he thought he'd never hear again.
"Hello?" Carol's voice greets, questioningly.
"Mo...mom?" Tyler gasps.
"Tyler, honey. How have you been? When are you going to be joining me? I feel like I haven't seen you in forever." Carol says.
"Mom...I..." Stiles doesn't give Tyler the chance to say anything, instead he hangs up the phone.
"Now, what I'm going to say is very simple. Leave us alone, you will not come after Hayley or the babies. You will not try to kill or harm them or me or Klaus. I will let you go and you will leave. If you don't do exactly as I say, Tony will kill Carol before you ever find her. Have I made myself clear?" Stiles asks.
"How...how is she alive?" Tyler chokes, tears pouring from his eyes.
"Have I made myself clear?!" Stiles repeats.
"Yes...yes. I promise. Please tell me where she is." Tyler begs.
"No, you tried to kill Hayley and my children. Now your going to spend at least a good few years searching for your mother. Consider it your penance. And no locator spell will work, so don't bother." Stiles lets Tyler go before walking past the hybrid. "Hope you make it out of here before Klaus finds you. I may be merciful but he most certainly isn't."
#####
Stiles finds Klaus soon enough. The hybrid is standing over a dead body, examining it.
"Who is that?" Stiles questions, having never seen the person before.
"That is what I would like to know little spark." Klaus says before turning to look behind Stiles. "There you are!"
Stiles turns to see Hayley and Elijah, relief settles through him at seeing Hayley unharmed.
"I see you've found our wondering stray. Perhaps you could shed some light on the situation. This..." Klaus kicks the dead body because of course he does, "Appears to be a hybrid."
"What?" Stiles inquires.
"His name was Dwayne." Hayley informs.
"Well, whoever it was, I didn't sire him. Any idea how that's possible?" Klaus asks.
"As if you didn't know!" Hayley exclaims, confusing both Stiles and Klaus.
Elijah steps forwards and moves himself in front of Hayley, like he's protecting her from Klaus.
What the hell is going on?
"Ahh, well, aren't you two fast friends? Oh come on then. What kind of horrible accusation have you conspired to levy against me?" Klaus queries, the hurt in Klaus' voice obvious to Stiles' ears.
"Tyler Lockwood brought Hayley here to test a theory. That the blood of her children could be used to sire hybrids. He claims that you knew that. Furthermore, that you intended to use this knowledge to build an army." Elijah explains.
"Well, that's ridiculous." Stiles says before noticing the look on Elijah's face. "Don't tell me you believe that crap?"
"Stiles..." Elijah starts before trailing off.
"Of course they believe it. I mean why else would I show interest in my own flesh and blood. A heartbroken little crybaby points his finger at me and my own brother falls in line, eager to believe it! How quickly you believe the worst in me." Klaus sounds heartbroken himself.
"Oh spare me your indignation. When have you ever demonstrated any kind of concern towards Hayley or our children?" Elijah snaps.
Stiles sees that Klaus is going to say something and immediately knows that it isn't going to be a defense, so Stiles moves between the two of them and faces Elijah and Hayley head on.
"There is no point for Klaus to use our children in an attempt to create a hybrid army. Not considering the fact that Klaus still has three blood bags filled with Elena's blood, magically preserved by me. If he wanted more hybrids he could make them himself." Stiles informs.
"What?" Hayley asks.
"Niklaus I..." Elijah gets interrupted.
"No brother, you've said all that needs to be said. I'll play the role I've been given." Klaus says.
Before Stiles has the chance to blink, Klaus is across the clearing and biting into Elijah's neck.
"Oh for the love of..." Stiles groans.
"You can enjoy each other's company. You'll have much to bond over, once the hallucinations set in. Consider that to be my parting gift. Come Stiles." Klaus instructs.
"Yeah, no. I'm going to be staying here and making sure that Elijah doesn't end up accidentally killing Hayley...and possibly yelling at them for assuming." Stiles declines.
"Will you be okay out here?" Klaus inquires.
Stiles smiles before walking over and kissing Klaus on the cheek.
"I'll be fine. Go. Maybe try a few calming exercises?" Stiles suggests.
"Your a menace." Klaus huffs before disappearing from view.
Stiles turns around to find Elijah sat on the floor, holding onto his neck, whilst Hayley hovers by him.
"What am I going to do with you two?" Stiles sighs.
"I believe you mentioned yelling." Elijah offers.
