Estella's POV
Hayley is absolutely obsessed with Elijah. I'm bored wanting to do something and she is sat on the floor reading his diaries.
She sighed.
"Hayley I'm just going down stairs." I said.
She nodded and carried on reading.
I heard Rebekah and klaus talking in the foyer.
"I cannot believe you disposed of those vampires without me. You know how I love to set things on fire! " Rebekah whined. I've missed her so much.
"Was I supposed to leave them in the front yard to rot? Besides, they were my responsibility. They attacked the helpless pregnant girl who's carrying my child! " klaus argued back at her. I glared and frowned at him and Rebekah rolled her eyes.
"Oh, I am so moved by your new-found sense of fatherly duties towards the werewolf carrying your hybrid bun in her oven." Rebekah's sarcastically remarks.
"The werewolf would like to know what the plan is." I say while glaring at them for calling me that.
"Well, that depends what plan you mean, love. my plan for global domination, or Rebekah's plan to find love in a cruel, cruel world?" Klaus says and I laugh when Rebekah throws a pencil at him. Sadly he catches it before it embeds in his eye.
"The plan to rescue Elijah. The one who is now in the possession of marcel after you stabbed him in the back?" I remark to him but klaus just smirks.
"In the front, if we're being specific." Klaus says and I ignore him.
"You two said that you would get him back. So is there a plan, or what?" I ask them both.
Okay. Well, firstly, Marcel is not my mortal enemy, he's my friend. Albeit one who is unaware that I'm trying to sabotage his hold over the supernatural community of the French Quarter, but a friend nonetheless. And secondly, I daggered Elijah in order to gain Marcel's trust. If I had known he would place my brother in the hands of a particularly nasty teenage witch, I certainly would have weighed my options a bit differently. And thirdly" klaus says and turns to Rebekah. "Sister, please."
"And thirdly, the plan, as you have demanded, is for Niklaus to simply ask Marcel for Elijah back." Rebekah simply says.
"And....." I gesture for her to continue the plan.
"Then there's a plan b, love." Klaus says.
"Which is?" I ask.
"War." Klaus says and we both smirk.
-----------------
One thing I hate about being pregnant they don't involve me in the problems. I can't fight. I'm not told anything. I'm a useless, soon to be fat mother.
But I'm still going to eavesdrop.
"Are you out of your mind? No way." Sophie shouts. That confuses me.
"It's very simple, We need you to perform a teeny, tiny locator spell to help us find our brother." Rebekah says. Oh right. Sophie scoffs.
"Witches who practice magic in this town get caught, and then they get killed." Sophie says and then I die if she does.
"Yes, about that. It seems you left out a crucial detail when we made our deal, Marcel's secret weapon, the way he knows when a witch is using magic." Klaus says.
"Girl about yea high, cute as a button, anger issues?" Rebekah says with hand gestures.
Sophie realises who they're talking about and looks really shocked.
"Davina? Where have you seen her?" She asks.
"I don't know. The little brat erased my memory right after she threw me out a window with her bloody mind." Rebekah says and I cover a laughs.
"Let me cut to the chase. Davina has Elijah. You witches, I assume, want to get Davina away from Marcel. We don't know where she is. Ergo, we need magic." Klaus simply says.
"Davina would sense it." Sophie simply says back to him.
"Unless, of course, another witch, say, a traitor to the cause, Katie for example, was to perform much more powerful magic at the same time. That would create a smokescreen, concealing your very small spell from Davina." Rebekah tells her the plan.
"Katie doesn't deserve to die." Sophie says.
I jump when klaus slams his hand on the table.
"Sophie Deveraux! You're in no position to be so principled. You can't win a war without a few strategic losses, no matter how regrettable they may be. How many times have the vampires been one step ahead, known something they shouldn't? Your sister, executed in the public square for practicing magic, who knew she'd be caught? Did she even attempt to flee?" Klaus says to her.
"She was caught hiding in a cargo hold of a freighter before it set sail down the Mississippi." Sophie says in realisation.
"And who, pray tell of Marcel's valued inner circle manages his business at the docks?" Klaus asks. Sophie sighs.
"Katie's boyfriend, Thierry." She says defeated.
The mikaelson's are geniuses.
-------------------
Rebekah and klaus have went to one of Marcel's party. I'm so jealous and angry I want to go.
"What's up with you?" Hayley asks when she finds me laid on the floor.
"I want to go to the party." I mumble out.
"Well sorry but you can't." Hayley says laying down next to me.
"I'm sick of being the pregnant one stuck in the house. It's tiring and its boring. Plus I hate this house, I want my proper New Orleans home back. So klaus needs to hurry up and get it back." I ramble on at her.
"Do you want to eat some ice cream and watch batman?" She asks me.
I nod.
"I really do." I say.
She pulls me up.
Hayley looks at me with a sad expression.
"Do you know what I've just realised?" She says.
"What!" I ask panicked.
"We can't drink any wine." She says while pretending to sob.
I laugh at her. Then we grab ice cream and blankets and sit in my room watching batman on the laptop.
"I love the joker." I say to Hayley.
"No batman is better." She disagrees.
I punch her in the arm.
----------------------
After watching batman, me and Hayley decide to go get some fresh air in the back garden because I'm not getting lectured by klaus again on going in the quarter.
Hayley nudges me.
"What?" I ask. She points at a wolf.
"Holy shit!" I exclaim. Where as Hayley stares at it fascinated.
I turn around when I hear a twig snap and see a woman stood behind us.
"You're not supposed to be out here." She says while smiling.
"Who are you?" Hayley asks suspicious.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. I'm Sabine. We met. I'm one of Sophie's friends." She introduces herself.
"You're one of the witches." I say to her.
"Sophie just asked me to come keep you company while everyone's out." She says. She looks at the wolf curiously and gestures to it. "You know, it's drawn to you. The child you're carrying is part vampire, part werewolf. You and Klaus made something special." She says and I roll my eyes.
"You sound like Elijah. He thinks this baby is going to make us one big, happy family, but now he's gone and I don't even know what... "it" is." I say to her.
"You know, I can do something about that, if you want. I mean, find out if it's a boy or girl." She says to me and I smile.
"I thought you couldn't do witchy stuff around here." Hayley asks her confused.
"It's not magic, just an old trick my grandmother taught me. Come on. You have to be a little curious." She says to me. Bïtch I am.
-------------------
Sabine took me and Hayley in the kitchen and I laid on the counter while Hayley suspiciously watched.
She took a chain with a crystal out and hung it over my stomach.
"I think it's a girl." She says smiling. But The crystal starts to swing in the other direction, and she frowns. "No... wait." She says.
"Wait what? Please tell me You're not having a mini-Klaus." Hayley says and I glare at her.
The crystal suddenly glows with a bright light, which causes Sabine to drop it. All of a sudden, her eyes roll back in her head, and she begins to chant. Fuck I hate it when they chant.
"Hoc est infantima malom. Nos omnia perditu el eam." She repeats. Me and Hayley look at each other.
-------------------
When Sabine left Hayley went straight to bed.
I went to one of the studies to do some research on Sabines chants. I've never cared much nor have I ever listened to them. But I need to know what that meant especially if it's to do with my baby.
Klaus stops in the door way and looks at me. My heart clenches when I see him.
"I thought you might like to know, Elijah is returning to us." Klaus says.
"Okay and congratulations." I say sarcastically.
"You have hardly ever liked Elijah and yet you still miss him. What is it about my brother that always inspires such instant admirations?" He asks.
I look at him with sad eyes.
"He was there for me when I needed him most that night with the witches. And klaus he was kind to me." unlike you. I say that it my head.
Klaus looks at me then goes to leave.
"Wait klaus!" I shout and he stops instantly, but his back is still faced at me. "I learnt something today. I think it's a girl." I say while smiling. He stands there for a moment then leaves.
I go back to searching that chant. But nothing comes up. I frown.
