She was quiet as he went on, a stark change from the normally very argumentative Hayley everyone in their clan was used to.
" She'll get to live, and grow up with out this darkness inside of her." she said after a pause and a soft sigh as the car engine came to a stop. " I know she is upset right now, and I know you are too, I said I would find a way to save her. I never said it would be pretty or easy. If I carry it until we can get rid of it, she will be free of it."
Kol can't see it but her eyes did close. " I wouldn't leave her if I had another way." she was calm not at all angry at Kol. " Kol, I know, just from the last few weeks that you wouldn't let her down. I know right now Klaus loves her, but he can't seem to connect the way you have."
It was odd this connection that even she felt to Kol, Kol the one who had bloodied many a people with out care. Kol who could be ruthless to the core. It was such a short time, but she was curious as to what it would be like to kiss him. Maybe it was that side of her that craved the blood and the violence?
" I wish I had kissed you before I left." and there iwas, out in the open.
His shoulder presses against the wall as the silence envelops the phone call again. They're so, so bad at this, aren't they? "I'll do my best, obviously, of course I will, but... I'm not you..."
He pushes off the wall and sighs softly, sinking down onto the bed. He doesn't know what to do, he doesn't know how to fix any of this. His eyes slide shut at that confession and he sighs her name out, "Hayley..." he doesn't have to say anything else, not really; it's all there in the way her name falls from his lips.
" Of course you're not me. You for sure couldn't pull off a mini dress." It was so much easier to resort to her sarcastic joking than to focus too much on what she'd said, or how her name fell from his lips like that.
How Klaus had managed to bag a wolf girl who was just as broken and fucked up inside as the rest of the clan, heaven only knows. She took a moment to look at the tattoo on her wrist, it was much more than just a linking spell. She could feel the weight of this he was feeling. It was enough to make her feel like she would puke.
" Kol, I..." her words were cut off by a solid bang and a crunching of metal as Hayley dropped the phone and could be heard yelling and pounding on the side of the car. More crunching and Hayley yelling out in pain. There were those settings on her phone to which it could be located if Kol remembered about that.
"I really don't have the legs for it," he admits, in a bit of a cheeky clapback at her comment.
He's practically hanging on with bated breath to listen to whatever it is she's going to say when his ears are assaulted with sharp metal sounds and a lot of clanging, banging, and screaming.
"Hayley?!" He stares at the phone as it goes dead and he has to think, how can he find her--
The GPS. Bloody hell, this century got some things right. Once he's got her location, he tells Freya he's leaving and to look out for their niece before speeding off into the night.
The scene was far back in a wooded area, just the cliche place that one would expect some heavy magic to be preformed in. Hayley's car was up against some trees looking much like someone or something had crumpled it. It reeks of Hayley's blood and the blood of something else, though that one was much older. The area is also heavy with dark magic.
The side of the car with the drivers door was pried open and blood from where something was dragged bloodied from the car. a few meters off was the source, Hayley staked to a tree trunk with metal from the car like some sort of crude offering to the night. Around the base of the tree is a magic circle made of several types of stones and herbs. Crouched near the tree is someone in a hooded cloak chanting, it's low and not clear if the person is male or female. Just that they are draining Hayley's energy.
Kol finds the scene easily enough and all the markers left there. The car in a crumpled mess, blood everywhere, and the heavy feel of darkness hanging in the air. In no time, his attention is brought to Hayley, pinned in an awful homage of a crucifixion to the tree, and the root of the problem not far from her feet.
Kol wastes no time in darting over in full vamp speed, grabbing them by the back of the neck and squeezing to guide them to stand up, "Party's over," he says in a low, menacing growl.
The chanting didn't stop even with the vamp grip on the back of the neck. A slender hand coming up as if reaching towards Hayley, though not struggling to get any closer, before moving back to touch Kol. If the hand does touch Kol, he will be bombarded with every bit of pain that Hayley would feel.
" You're wrong." the witch said, though now that he was close it was a females voice, a young one at that. " She has to be ready, she must be ready. Now, first one you will be too."
Kol's grip on the witch's neck falters before he's taken to his knees with the pain coursing through his body at the touch of her hand. He has no idea what she's done to him, but somehow he knows it has to do with whatever she's doing to Hayley.
The witch smiles to him, looking to him on his knees at her feet. " To die." she answers. Her free hand moving up, there is more chanting and Hayley jerks awake, letting out a horrible pained yell.
Her eyes moving to Kol, " Run! Get out of here! Please!" her voice no sooner leaves her mouth than a broken off branch slides toward Kol. There is more of a grin from the witch as the hand that was on Kol moves as she tries to force him through magic to pick up the branch.
Kol strains against the witch's magic hold, desperate not to do whatever she's trying to force his hand into, but she's powerful and it is no easy task and he still finds himself being forced toward the fallen branch.
Hayley's eyes widened, as Kol was forced to pick up that branch. She was trying to get free of her confines. The witch continued chanting, to force Kol toward Hayley with that branch aimed for her heart.
" How will it feel to take her life?" spoken as she held her stance in pushing Kol on. " I wonder who will be the one to end your life. Maybe the brother that shares a child with her,or the brother who adores her spirit or perhaps even the sister who found a friend in her? Or maybe you'll do it your self." the grin never faded once from the witches face.
" Stop it, you bitch!" Hayley shouted uselessly as the wood of the branch slowly tore through her shirt drawing first blood as it pushed on. She looked to Kol, trying to lock eyes with him.
" You have to remember your promise. You didn't do this, and I love you. No matter what." as the words left her lips, the twin tattoos would give off a warm feeling, and just like that the heavy weight of the witches spell would be lifted from both of them, leaving a very confused witch, turning to run.
He does everything in his power to stop himself from going through the the witch's forced action, but he can't stop it and he struggles helplessly against the invisible force.
Kol has no idea what, exactly, made the spell stop but the second he has control of himself again, he rushes to Hayley's side. "Are you all right?"
Once that pressure of the witches magic was lifted she started to free her self pulling the wood that had been driven through her shoulders to pin her out.
The huntress in her zoned in on where the witch had ran toward, wanting to chase her down and rip her throat out. She knew better than that. Whatever had stopped the spell might not be something that would last forever after all. She turned her eyes to Kol. She closed the distance between them which wasn't much, putting her arms around him hugging him. I'll be okay. Are..you okay?" she asked into his ear.
"I'm okay. I'm fine," he mutters, his arms wrapping protectively around her. "Are you? You sure?" he squeezes her tight against him.
He feels it too, the pull to go track her down and pull her spine between her teeth, but the risk doesn't feel like it outweighs the reward right now. All he needs is Hayley, safe, and alive.
She nods still not letting him go. " You..you came for me.." she said her voice uneven. She was still so used to being on her own as far as when she hit the fan. It was still something else to her when someone cared enough to stick their neck out for her.
" She could have killed you, and you still came." her arms tightening more around him. " You could have died." it was then her voice actually cracked even if she was trying to sound like she was giving him hell about it.
