[Hayley]: "I mean, I know yours. Your family is legendary. Your brother's a notorious pyscho. Who I slept with. Classic me."
[Elijah]: "I cannot excuse his behaviour, but you must understand that our father hunted him, hunted us, for centuries. Every time we found a moment of happiness, we were forced to flee. Even here? In New Orleans. But we were happiest of all. Not long after, Niklaus broke the spell which prevented him from becoming a hybrid. He defeated our father. I thought this would make him happy. He was angrier than ever. I wonder if perhaps this baby might be a way for my brother to find happiness. A way to save him from himself."
Sophie suddenly enters the room saying
[Sophie]: "I'm glad you feel that way, because we need your help."
[Elijah]:"[Elijah turns as he stand and faces Sophie who came in saying]What precisely is it that you want, and what does it have to do with this young woman?"
[Sophie]: "We want to run Marcel and his vampires out of town. Klaus is the key. Everything Marcel knows about being a vampire, he learned from Klaus. Marcel trusts him, looks up to him. [she says as she shakes her head]He won't see the betrayal coming."
[Elijah]: "Yes, well, as I'm sure you're aware, my brother Niklaus doesn't like to be told what to do."
[Sophie]: "[she said as she pursed her lips almost smiling]That's why I brought you here. Marcel drove the werewolves out of town decades ago. Do you really think he's going to welcome a hybrid baby to the neighbourhood?[she said her face inquisitive as she raised her eye brows] Convince Klaus to help us. And no one has to know about the newest member of the original family."
[Elijah]: "That sounds remarkably like blackmail."
[Sophie]:"Like I said, I'm desperate."
[Elijah]: "Well then, [he said his face having his signature smile] I have my work cut out for me, don't I?"
[Sophie]:" hmm..hmm"
The streets of New Orleans buzzed with energy cars and bikes passed the road, with people walking along the walkway. On a quiet rooftop balcony overlooking the glowing city at night. Twinkling lights along strings and warm interior lamps spill through windows, giving the skyline a cinematic, almost cinematic twilight vibe, A low, brick-clad terrace with sloped roofs and his hands resting on the railing's that runs along the edge of the balcony is Klaus at 5'11", staring at the city below in a daze, when he sense's someone behind him, turning his head slightly to the side, without his head turning back he say's.
[Klaus]: "Evening, Elijah." Elijah appeared at his back staring ahead without turning to Klaus as he began speaking
[Elijah]: "Niklaus." Klaus turns back slowly looking at Elijah as he say's
[Klaus]: "What an entirely unwelcome surprise." [Elijah]: "And what an entirely unsurprising welcome.[Elijah says as he turns to face Klaus saying] Come with me."
[Klaus]: "I'm not going anywhere [he says as he turns back his hands on the railings and back facing Elijah] until I find out who's conspiring against me."
[Elijah]: "I believe I just found that out for you."
Klaus turns slowly and face's Elijah.
.....Changing Scene....
In a dimly lit, rustic, and somewhat dilapidated area, Klaus his emotions in disbelief as he protested incessantly. his face facing Elijah whose eyes where on him, and at his eyes glancing at Hayley
[Kluas]: "No. its Impossible"
[Elijah]: "I said the same thing myself."
[Klaus]: "This[Klaus says, as he point his hand at Hayley, then turned] is a lie. You're all lying.[his finger pointed to and moving, Sophie and the witches gathered there. before droping his hand and stating assertively] Vampires cannot procreate."
[Sophie]: But werewolves can.[Sophie interjects as she raises her head, klaus with his back to her closes his mouth and turns facing Sophie] Magic made you a vampire, but you were born a werewolf. You're the original hybrid, the first of your kind. And this pregnancy is one of nature's loopholes."
Klaus kept silent for a few seconds, before turning and walking aggressively at Hayley as he shouted
[Klaus]: "You've been with someone else. Admit it!"
[Hayley]: "I've spent days held captive in a freaking alligator bayou because they think that I'm carrying some magical miracle baby. Don't you think I would have fessed up if it wasn't yours?"
[Sophie]: "My sister gave her life to perform the spell she needed to confirm this pregnancy. Because of Jane Anne's sacrifice, the lives of this girl and her baby are now controlled by us. We can keep them safe. Or we can kill them. [Elijah and Hayley eyebrow shot up at the same time] If you don't help us take down Marcel, So help me. Hayley won't live long enough to see her first maternity dress."
[Hayley]: "Wait, what?"
[Elijah]: "Enough of this. If you want Marcel dead, he's dead. I'll do it myself."
[Sophie]: "No. We can't. Not yet. We have a clear plan that we need to follow, and there are rules."
Klaus slowly turns back, his eyes deep as turns to Sophie his voice deep,
[Klaus]: "How dare you command me? [he raises his voice, as he points his finger towards Sophie]Threaten me with what you wrongfully perceive to be my weaknesses. This is a pathetic deception. [he says ashe spreads his arms, and walk forward saying to Elijah ear, but his voice loud enough for the people present to hear] I won't hear any more lies."
[Elijah]: "Niklaus. Listen"
Klaus stops turns and looks at Elijah, then turns again his back to Elijah looking at Hayley from head to her stomach where she placed her hands on], Hayley palm clenched around her stomach, he hears a faint movement in the stomach looking at her stomach slowly raises his head and stared at Hayley reddened eye's before turning to Elijah saying detached with no emotion.
[Klaus]: "Kill, her and the baby. What do I care?" he says as he turns and leaves.
[Hayley]: "Screw this. I'm out of here."
Hayley says as she turns, Elijah walks forwards, then turn back facing Sophie saying,
[Elijah] "No one touches the girl. I will fix this."
Klaus walk hurriedly at a fast pace, Elijah voice appeared as Elijah catches up to him calling him
[Elijah]: "Niklaus?"
[Klaus]: "It's a trick, Elijah."
Elijah stops his hand in his pocket as he says,
[Elijah]: "No, brother. It's a gift. It's your chance. It's our chance."
Klaus turns back facing Elijah as he ask's
[Klaus]: "To what?"
[Elijah]: "To start over. Take back everything we lost. Everything that was taken from us. [Elijah says as he walks towards Klaus, one hands clenched by his chest the other hand in his pocket] Niklaus, our own parents came to despise us. Our family was ruined. We were ruined. And since then, all that you have ever wanted, all that we have ever wanted, was a family."
Klaus, walks forward and says to Elijah's ear,
[Klaus]: "I will not be manipulated."
Klaus stares at Elijah in the eye, as he turns his back on him, ready to continue walking forward, then Elijah with inhuman speed flashes to Klaus front and blocks him, saying
[Elijah]: "So they're manipulating you. So what? With them, this girl and her child, your child, live."
[Klaus]: "I'm gonna kill every last one of them."
Klaus say his mouth almost curving to a smirk, then pushes Elijah away, and turns to the opposite direction prepared to walk away, and again Elijah flashes and blocks him from passing as he says
[Elijah]: "And then what? Then you return to Mystic Falls to resume your life as the hated one, as the evil hybrid? Is it so important to you that people quake with fear at the sound of your name?"
[Klaus]: "People quake with fear because I have the power to make them afraid. What will this child offer me? Will it guarantee me power?"
[Elijah]: "Family is power, Niklaus. Love, loyalty, that's power. This is what we swore to one another a thousand years ago before life tore away what little humanity you had left.
Before ego, before anger, before paranoia created in this person before me..... Someone I can barely even recognize as my own brother.
This is us.
The Original Family. And we remain together Always and Forever. I am asking you to stay here.
I Will help you and I will stand by you. I will BE your brother.
We will build a home here together. So save this girl. Please save your child."
Klaus placed his hand on Elijah Neck-shoulder as he looks him in the eye, then saying,
[Klaus]: "No." He then turns and walks away
...Changing Scene.....
Lafayette Cemetery No. 1
[Sophie]: "Marcel and his vampires are out of control. Something had to be done."
[Agnes]: "And the solution is to bring in more vampires?" Agnes say in a skeptical and dismissive tone
