"Really?" I asked with my hands folded over my chest. Klaus is a fool, how dare he tell Zara who has been feeling really insecure about her place in this family that we didn't tell her about Hope being alive was because she is a witch.

That's not 100 percent true. We were on edge, we knew that the witches wanted her dead. We knew that they would do anything to find her. We didn't even tell Cami. We just thought that the less people knew the better.

Zara is a freak of nature. Her being a witch and vampire is not supposed to happen. If us telling Zara about Hope could've ended back up to the witches.

"Hayley! Where leaving now." Klaus spat while glaring at me. I turned around as I saw both of them embracing hope. It brought a small smile to my face.

But what brought a frown was hearing Zara's light sobs.

"Elijah please just leave." I hissed, running my fingers through my hair. He had a firm look on his face as he sat on the edge of the queen sized bed.

"Not telling you was messed up we understand that." He began, placing a hand on my thigh but I pushed it off. Cutting him off bitterly as well.

"Are you sure? Cause klaus definitely does not understand."

I sat there hiding my face in the palm of my hands. This feeling sucks, feeling like your family doesn't trust you because your a witch.

Does klaus even love me? I know how much he doesn't like witches and I never really asked him how he felt about me becoming a witch. He probably hated it.

"Zara I raised you. You are my daughter there is nothing that can change that. I don't care if we're are not linked with blood!" He said raising his voice.

He removed my palms from my soaked face and tilted my chin toward him.

"You are our daughter." He whispered softly.

"You thought I was going to tell the witches that she was alive?"

"No." He shot back immediately.

"Your full of shit Elijah. You and Klaus." I said while glaring at him.

"You want the truth?" He hissed, obviously hurt by my choice of words. I felt bad for saying that to him but I'm hurt.

"We were hurt. We called you everyday. We thought you were dead. Do you know how that felt Zara. To think that the person you have raised and cared for has died? I have never had a child before, and I never will. I sometimes think about that and it makes me somewhat sad. Then I think about you. And I think about how your all that I need. The thought of you being dead made me not care about life anymore."

I sat there and a tear strained down my cheek. I watched Elijah intensively. The thing he wasn't sad he was mad.

"I was hurt. Even though when you finally came back I embraced you so lovingly I was hurt..."

"Elijah I was upset during that time as well. I just wanted a break from you guys." I said while running my fingers through my hair."

"Now that's bullshit. We were your family. We were going through a lot and we needed you. I can speak for Klaus and Rebekah on this. Us not telling you about Hope was messed up. But you not being there when she almost died, you not being there to comfort Hayley, you not being there for klaus who was going off the deep end was even more messed up." He said while staring deep into my brown eyes.

He rose up from the bed and exited my door quietly.

My jaw was wide open and my heart was hurting from all the words he just said to me. I felt all the wounds of his words piercing into my body.

I slowly laid down on the bed, curled up into a ball and silently cried.

I knew leaving that day was going to cause problems.

And it caused way more than just problems. It ruined my relationship with my family.
