Chapter Fifty Six: Truth Or More Lies

Hayley's POV: I looked at Nik and Elijah who didn't seem to worried, as if they knew this was going to happen, but I was terrified of what would happen next, and Matt was scarred by this, seeing his uncle Marcus dead and Elijah with his blood all around his mouth. I have to admit, it was a little frightening seeing Elijah kill Marcus right in front of me. I was worried that one day that could be me in this same situation, with Elijah over my dead body after killing me...

Klaus's POV: I saw Hayley's face and it worried me, she looked scared for her life, I'm not sure if it was because of Marcus, Elijah or Matt, but I didn't like it. I whispered to Elijah so that only he could hear me, and I told him to compel Matt and get rid of Marcus's body as soon as possible before Jenny got back to their house. Then I took Hayley to our house while Elijah cleaned up the mess...

Elijah's POV: I knew little Matthew was afraid of me, so before he could do anything I ran up to him and compelled him to go up to his room and forget everything he saw since he got back home. Then I took Marcus's body out to the old cemetery and buried him.

Hayley's POV: Nik took me to his house, we went upstairs so that I could try to calm down a little bit after everything that I just saw. Nik was really sweet, he knew what was wrong, he knew I was scared, but he didn't know that it was from Elijah, I'm not sure if I wanted to tell him because it's his brother, but he needed to know, that way if it comes down to me not being able to protect myself, I could rely on Nik. So I did that, I told him I was afraid of Elijah and if what he did to Marcus could be me if I do or say the wrong thing to make him mad...

Klaus's POV: Hayley just told me something startling, she said she was afraid of Elijah and that she thought he could kill her or was going to. I didn't know what to say, I understood where she got this from, after all she just watched him drain the blood from her uncles body without a second thought, but he was my brother and I knew he would never hurt Hayley because I know he loves her just as much as I do. Which I felt threatened by sometimes because most girls go for Elijah and not me, but Hayley is different, I knew she loves my honesty, loyalty and compassion. But Elijah has bravery, smolder and was always passionate. So I had my doubt, but knowing that she was open enough and felt comfortable enough with me to tell me how she felt scared of Elijah, my doubt flew away. So before Elijah got home I asked Hayley if she wanted to talk about it with him, to my surprise she said yes...

Elijah POV: I got home after cleaning up at Hayley's house. Her and Niklaus were sitting in the kitchen eating, well Hayley was, there were blood bags out for me, and they summoned me there to "talk" and I was a bit suspicious but then shocked when they told me what it was about. Apparently Hayley was scared of me after tonight, she was sitting very close to Niklaus, but I told her she had nothing to be worried about. I asked Klaus if I could speak with her alone, she had fear in her eyes as he left, but I wouldn't lay a finger on her to do any harm towards that girl. Klaus knew that otherwise he wouldn't have left, he knows I love her as much as he does, so I asked her to come sit next to me, she did as I asked but was still scared. I whispered something in her ear so that Klaus wouldn't hear, and only her...

Hayley's POV: Elijah has whispered something strange in my ear, he told me to give him my necklace for a minute so he could look at it, I didn't know any better so I did and that was the last thing I remember until the end of the conversation...

Klaus's POV: I left the room to give them some privacy, when I was sure Elijah wouldn't hurt Hayley I left, unable to hear as I knew he would try to sneak something in anyway. And when I came back to get her, Elijah handed me her necklace and said she probably wouldn't remember much about their conversation...

Elijah's POV: I was glad Niklaus had left because I didn't want him to hear what I said to Hayley while I had her vervain necklace. I told her that I loved her, and that I couldn't be selfish with her because she made me a better man, and even though she wouldn't remember this, she just needed to hear it, just once, and I also told her that she can't remember this because Niklaus is the better man for her, and then I compelled her to forget what I just said. Klaus then came and got her, I went to my room and read until I fell asleep...

Hayley's POV: I knew Elijah had compelled me, I also knew what he said, Nik gave me a hand full of vervain so that he wouldn't be able to erase my memory, that's why I willingly gave him my necklace, I wanted to hear what he had to say, and when I heard it, I was left emotional, especially after the day I had and to top it off what Elijah said to me. I couldn't deal with it right now. So I asked Nik if he would erase my memory of our conversation, and just to tell me that I wasn't scared of him and that I was ok. He did, although he wasn't sure if it would work 100% because he hasn't fed properly. And once it was over I made sure and he told me he compelled me, and it worked. I'm not sure how, but he did it he told me that Elijah and I talked earlier, I have no memory of it. So I was happy! After that Nik asked me if I needed a ride home. But I was having a pretty good day, my uncle was dead and my brother didn't remember seeing anything, so I asked him if I could stay. I didn't want the night to end. He said yes. Our night took an amazing turn from death to sex...
