Both Elijah and his brother Niklaus had been searching the Lafayette cemetery for what seemed like hours now. But still they could not find the witches that had taken Hayley's child, Elijah could already feel the panic starting to rise in his gut. They didn't have a lot of time left before the the sacrifice began.
This shouldn't be happening, Hayley should be alive but instead her body lay in the church. Elijah felt strong again after his brother had cured him of the werewolf bites from Francesca's guards but still his mind was scattered and trying to rebuild itself.
"We have to find them Niklaus" he urged his brother.
Trying to keep the pain and guilt subsided for now until they found the child.

He'd been searching high and low for those witches, who were as good as dead once he got his hands on them. His brother had broken and he'd seen the love he felt for Hayley which only made his need to find them and spill their blood even more. He didn't love Hayley, not like Elijah. He cared for her and in some ways respected her. She was, after all, the mother of his child. His daughter. His precious gift. The good in his life. Hayley had lost her life defending their child and her death would not be in vain.
He spun around and jerked his arms out at his side. "Don't you think I know that brother!" He was frustrated and taking it out on him. He yelled at Elijah and grit his teeth, furrowing his brow as he thought. "I swear on Hayley's life once I find them they are as good as dead. I will not make it quick. I want the blood to slowly drain from their bodies as I watch them writhe in pain. Twist their bones until they crack from the pressure. I will not stop until I've left a mangled mess." He spoke through clenched teeth, staring into space as he curled his fingers as he spoke of the torture he would inact.

Elijah let his hand glide down his face and caress his neck where one of the wolves had bitten a chunk out of his flesh. He could still fear the wolves teeth embedded in his neck as his brothers blood continued to flow through his veins healing him of the wolf venom. Hearing what his brother had to say about what he would do to the witches.
Spinning on his heels to face his brother, raising his hand to point to him "No. Brother!" he sneered at him before trying to get himself calm again "This" he indicated with his arms wide open "This is the world that you created with all of your scheming and your war with the witches and the vampires" he exclaimed.
Turning from his brother briefly and then turning back to him "All the enemies that you have made you miserable life have led to this moment. That the first breath your child takes is steeped in death...Created by your need for power, your desire to be king!" he barked at his younger brother. "Well look around you Niklaus, this is your kingdom! Hayley is dead!" he added with a crackle in his breaking voice.

His eyes filled with anger and rage as Elijah pointed at him and reminded him that it was all his fault. He let him speak and rushed to stand before him, grabbing him by his suit jacket and shoving him hard against a crypt. "Do not chastise me like a child. Does it make you feel better to blame someone!? Huh? HAYLEY IS DEAD!!" He yelled out and slammed his back again. "Don't you think I know the reason why!? Must you remind me now brother? Remind me of the failure I continue to be?" He shoved him back and released him.
Turning his back to Elijah he shook his head. "My quest for power was not solely for my own personal gain Elijah. If you had bothered to even consider for ONE moment that I might be acting on the behalf of those I care for to ensure their safety...." He let his words trail and spin around. "But all you see is the bad. All you ever see is the bad."

Elijah's back slammed against the crypt wall as his younger brother gave his speech of the power he sought and another reminded that Hayley was dead. Once Niklaus released him and continued to rant, Elijah pushed himself forward to stand in front of his brother "No, Niklaus" he paused for a brief moment "My quest for your salvation, for your redemption is a fool's quest" he continued to point at him.
Elijah was beyond furious, his behaviour was erratic and he was on the verge of loosing control using on the minimal strength that he had inside of him to keep himself together "Did you ever think of the world that you were creating for your child? For your daughter!" he sneered at his brother.
Taking a step back from his brother he turned from him only to turn straight back around as his brother tried to speak "No brother! This was our family's hope, our only hope and now she is gone!" he spoke like a broken man.
"Do you understand I let this person in. I let her in" he spoke as his lips quivered, his mind filling with the last memory he would have of Hayley "I don't let people in, you knew this. You have taken her from me, I needed her and you've broken me" he ended his voice barely a whisper

He could see the pain surfacing on Elijah's usually stoic poised face. Elijah was a hard man to break and he'd succeeded unintentionally. Although still angry from the harsh words that came from his brothers mouth, his accusations were just. In an attempt to ensure he had all the power to protect his child, he'd created a world of war and danger. It was all his fault.
He moved closer to Elijah and reached out to ball his hand in his shirt, yanking him closer. He wanted to hit him to make him feel pain, to make himself feel anything. But he couldn't. Elijah stood here a broken man and it was because Hayley was dead. He'd had his suspicions before but this solidified it. His brother was in love with the mother of his child.
He pulled Elijah into him and fought back his own tears as he wrapped his other arm around him and hugged him. Something he hadn't done in ages. "I know. And you can blame me all you want. But it will not bring her back. So are you by my side in finding the one thing she gave her life for?" He spoke softly, knowing how fragile he was right now. He himself felt emotionally unstable for the first time in decades. He had lost a piece of himself when they took his child. He smirked a bit and pulled back to look at Elijah. "A fools quest it has been since the beginning. But I admire the hope you have for me. Perhaps one day that quest will be sought."

Elijah was a broken man, the woman that he had opened his heart to was dead and he was not there to save her. He has given Hayley his word that he would be there to always save her, but he had failed in his task. He was defeated and it was because of his brother, he wanted nothing more that to snap his brother's neck. But right now he needed to focus all of his attentions on finding Hayley's daughter, the one thing that could cement this family back together. Their family's hope.
Unexpectedly when his brother pulled him into a brotherly embrace, something that had not occurred for such a long time; he embraced the tender moment. "My only focus right now is that child and her safety, do you understand me?" he emphasized making his point crystal clear. All Elijah cared about right now was finding that child and getting her to safety away from those who sought to cause her harm.
Elijah lowered his head when his brother's voice became softer as he spoke of his quest for redemption, for salvation "That quest will be sought upon the moment you hold your child in your arms" he whispered hoarsely.

Elijah's pain was evident in his voice and the way he spoke, his body still tense from the loss of Hayley and almost as if he could snap at any given moment. He knew his brother was fragile and he hated that he was in pain. Blaming him seemed fair, after all it was his quest for power that led them to this moment. A standoff with witches who wanted his child destroyed solely for fear of what the future may hold.
He stepped back and nodded, "I understand." Was all he spoke, his voice low and filled with remorse and anger. Looking up after Elijah spoke of the redemption he would soon have when he held his child, he swallowed and nodded. "Then we cannot give up now. We will not rest until those witches are found and suffer greatly for their crimes against our family. Their life for the one they stole. We not only fight for my child but for Hayley." He was determined at any and all costs to find the witches that took their newborn child. "Let's search the underground tombs. They will want to stay hidden."

Elijah was a broken man on the brink of collapsing into pieces over the death of Hayley. But he had sworn to her the moment that they had met that he would protect her and her unborn child. But he had failed in his promise to Hayley, but now he would give his life for her child. His resolve softened slightly at his younger brother's words that they would not only fight for his child but for Hayley as well.
Elijah simply nodded. With every inch of anger inside of him, he would tear the witches heads from their bodies. He had always felt a dis-trust to Genevieve but he allowed himself to trust her because she had saved Hayley's life from their father Mikael. But now all he felt was anger and rage, he wanted to feel his hands wrap around her neck and feel it crack; today he would get that wish.
Nodding "Agreed" was all that he spoke, keeping all of the anger that he was directing at his brother trapped in a net ready to unleash when he and the witches met again. But Niklaus was correct, the witches would not perform such an extensive spell out in the open, they would have hidden out of sight.
Elijah turned to face his brother, his finger pointed directly at his chest "The one who murdered Hayley is mine" he commanded not caring for his brother's answer. He turned from his brother and headed directly to the entrance to the underground tombs.
