The day had been tedious as Klaus worked alongside Marcel in the Quarter. The odd behavior of the witches set the vampires on edge ; more gatherings and clandestine meetings meant ill intent was being planned. Something was coming, that much Klaus knew for sure, but he didn’t know what. The lack of information was driving him mad. With baby Hope returned to the safety of the Abattoir, control over the factions was important now more than ever. As the duo’s work got them no where, Klaus shot a text to Hayley to check in on the compound. The silence that ensued immediately brought forth a sense of dread. Klaus loathed to have things so far out of his control and his predicament only seemed to worsen.
Heading back to his home at once, Klaus was simultaneously relieved and irritated to find Hayley was ensconced in his study. Eyebrows pulled together as he stared her down. ❝ Now is not the time for such blatant disregard, Hayley. Enemies are gathering their forces as we speak and for all I knew, you and our daughter could been in their very clutches, ❞ he said with a poignant gesture of his hand to help make his point. ❝ What are you doing in here, anyway ? ❞
