*Decided to post this one earlier than I planned because of all the love I got last chapter and the comments I got on my post on my profile. I love you all! Hope you like this chapter!*

"Elijah, what're you doing?" Claire asks entering his study.

"I spoke with Davina and Marcel earlier today," Elijah explained keeping most of his concentration on the papers in front of him. "Davina used to sketch while she spent time in the attic. Marcel told me she called these particular sketches evil"

"They make a face" Claire whispers standing beside him. Elijah noticed this as well and continued to piece the puzzle. "Who is it?"

The woman Davina had unknowingly drew looked beautiful. It was a charcoal drawing but Elijah recognized the woman instantly. Claire became concerned when she felt his emotions drastically change.

"Elijah?" She whispers gripping his arm lightly no longer caring about the drawing but more concerned about her mate. "What's wrong?"

"It's Celeste" He whispers.

"Celeste?" Claire asks looking back at the drawing. "Why would Davina draw her?"

"I'm not sure" Elijah whispers.

"Elijah, do you think it's a coincidence that Kaleb was asking for Celeste not long before you find these?" Claire asks him. "Is there any way Kaleb could have found her?"

"There shouldn't have been" He mutters still trying to sort his thoughts out. Without another word, Elijah leaves the study for his bedroom. Claire followed him as quickly as her slight waddle would allow her.

"What are you looking for?" Claire asks.

"Like you, I used to keep a diary, within the diary was the location of Celeste's remains" Elijah tells her. "And now the diary is nowhere to be found" 

"Kaleb" She whispers and he nods. "He'll already have the bones by now"

"I'm going to go check" He said walking out of the room.

"Take someone with you" Claire calls after him. Elijah stops walking and turns towards her. He takes a breath and smiles at her while slowing his mind down.

"I'll be alright, Elskan" He says walking over to her. "Don't worry about me" He says caressing her face. She relaxes in his hold.

"I'll always worry about you, love" She says placing her hands over his. "It's kind of my job" She says teasingly. He smiles and kisses her forehead.

"I love you" Elijah reassures her.

"I don't doubt you, Elijah" She promises him. "You loved Celeste a long time ago, I understand why you don't want someone trying to find her. You gave Celeste your word and I know how important that is to you"

"I won't be long and I'll Finn along with me" Elijah tells her. She smiles and nods.

"I'll be here" She reassures him. He places a gentle kiss on her lips before walking down the steps.

"Mommy" Claire turns around and sees a tired Madelyn standing behind her.

"Can't sleep?" Claire asks and Madelyn pouts shaking her head. Claire gives her a soft smile. "Come on, Mad Cat" Claire holds her hand out to Madelyn. The little five-year-old takes her mother's hand and follows her back to her room. "Alright, climb into bed"

Madelyn darts away from her and hopes onto the mattress. Claire smiles and covers her with the comforter. Madelyn snuggles under the blankets as one of her cats, Patches, hops onto the bed.

"What was it this time?" Claire asks softly.

"I was in the woods again and that girl was chasing me" Madelyn whispers. "Then that man finds me and takes me away, I don't wanna go mommy" Madelyn whimpers tears coming to her eyes.

"You don't have too, baby girl" Claire says caressing her face lightly. "You don't have to go anywhere, you can stay here for as long as you want" Claire smiles. "Besides, if you think me or any of your papas would let you go, you're crazy" Claire says grinning widely and tickling Madelyn.

Madelyn giggled loudly and squirmed in the bed. Patches meows grumpily and jumps off the bed. Claire grins and laughs softly. She stops tickling Madelyn and the little girl gets comfortable again.

"You're safe, Madelyn" Claire promises tucking some hair behind her ear. "You're loved, you have all the love in the world" She promises kissing her forehead. "No matter where you go, we will always find you, we will always keep you safe, I promise"

"What about her?" Madelyn asks poking Claire's stomach. "Will you keep her safe, too?"

"Yeah, we'll keep both of you safe" Claire says smiling. Madelyn smiles as well and stares at her stomach. "Are you excited to have a little sister?" Madelyn nods grinning. "Good, she's going to have the best big sister ever"

"What are you going to call her?" Madelyn asked.

"I don't know yet" Claire answers truthfully. "Have any ideas?" Madelyn thinks hard about her answer.

"How about Kit-Kat?" Madelyn asks grinning.

"Kit-Kat?" Claire asks grinning. "Sounds like a great name" Madelyn grins and yawns. "Get some sleep, sweetheart" Claire says kissing her forehead. "Remember, you don't have to go anywhere you don't want too"

"So I don't have to go to school?" Madelyn asks grinning. Claire smiles and laughs sarcastically.

"Nice try" Claire says poking her nose. "Get some sleep" Madelyn nods as Claire stands up. 

"Mommy?"

"Yeah, baby?"

"Can you leave the light on?"

Claire smiles at her and nods. She turns on her nightlight and leaves the door cracked open when she leaves. As she walks away from Madelyn's room all she can think about is her anger towards Hayley and Tyler. Their little stunt is causing her daughter to have nightmares and that's not ok.

"Penny for your thoughts, love?" Klaus asks as Claire enters the kitchen.

"Where's Hayley and Tyler?" Claire snapped.

"At this particular moment, I'm not sure" Klaus tells her.

"You suck at finding people" Claire snapped. Klaus frowns his eyebrows as he watches her furiously make a sandwich. He stands from his seat and leans against the counter beside her. "Maddie's having nightmares about Hayley and Tyler"

"They'll pass" Klaus assures her. Claire sighs and rubs her face tiredly. "What about you? Still having nightmares as well?"

"Feels like it's a family trait" She grumbles. Klaus smiles and pulls her into his embrace.

"They won't last forever" He whispers kissing her head.

"I know but it's tiring" She mumbles.

"I know" Klaus rubs her back lightly. "I'll take Maddie out for a ride tomorrow, I'll talk to her. Let her know everything's alright"

"I tried doing that tonight but I think she'll actually listen to you" Claire smiles slightly. Klaus grins and kisses her nose. Claire's face scrunches up causing his heart to swell.

"You should get some sleep, it's been a long day" He says and she looks at her sandwich not even hungry but she had made it anyways. "You can eat it tomorrow" He promises with a smile.

"Don't mock me" She whines snuggling her head into his chest. He laughs and picks her up in his arms.

"I wouldn't dream of it" He laughs kissing her forehead carrying her into the room. By the time they reached their room Claire was practically asleep. He smiles and sets her on the bed. He takes off her slippers and massages her feet. She moans quietly.

"You can massage my feet tomorrow, come cuddle" Claire smiles sheepishly. Klaus smirks and undresses before slipping in beside her.

Claire laid on her side and Klaus spooned her. Claire rested her head on his bicep while Klaus's other arm wrapped around her stomach protectively. While falling asleep was peaceful, waking up was another thing.

Claire awoke from yet another nightmare but this time it wasn't really anything personal. She had was stuck inside the plantation and couldn't leave no matter what she did. Then, things got... strange. 

Clowns surrounded the house, desperately trying to get in. These clowns didn't look friendly either with their wide crazy eyes and their bloody knives.

Thankfully, she wasn't alone, Klaus and Elijah were with her. Although, they weren't much help. They were on the outside of the house and no matter how loud Claire screamed, they wouldn't listen to her.

When Claire awoke for real, the first thing she did was elbow Klaus roughly in the stomach. The Original Hybrid groaned not expecting it. He released Claire and rolled onto his back.

"What was that for, love?" Klaus whined.

"You're over a thousand years old, you should have better hearing" Claire snapped climbing out of bed. Klaus frowns his eyebrows.

"What?" Klaus asks.

"When I yell that killer Clowns are trying to kill me next time, don't just ignore me" She snapped waddling to the bathroom.

"Love, are you angry at me for something that happened in your dream?" Klaus asks smirking amusingly.

"I could have died, Klaus!" Claire snapped from inside the bathroom. He laughs quietly but Claire hears it. She finishes up and opens the door. Klaus is quick to dodge a hair dryer. "Where's Elijah? I've got to yell at him too" She grumbles.

"He's in the study, sweetheart" Klaus tells her instantly. Claire grumbles under her breath and leaves the bedroom. "I don't remember her being this mental during the last pregnancy" Klaus mumbles to himself.

"Well, next time save her from the clowns" Kol smirks leaning against the doorway.

"It was in her bloody dream! How was I supposed to know?" Klaus says defensively. Kol chuckles.

"Either way, you're on her shit list" He laughs enjoying his brothers misery all too much. Klaus growls at Kol before getting ready for the day.

"Wait a minute, you didn't give him any hell? He was in your dream too" Klaus complained seeing Claire and Elijah cuddling in Elijah's office.

"It was just a dream, Klaus" Claire shrugs. "I doubt killer Clowns are going to come attack me" Elijah smirks rubbing Claire's side sensually.

"Relax brother, it was a tense morning" Elijah says simply.

"Tense? You weren't the one dodging hairdryers!" Klaus snapped. Claire pouts and Klaus instantly caves. 

"I'm sorry" Claire whispers. Klaus rubs his face and sighs.

"It's alright love" He says calmer. Claire smiles and gets off the couch, with some assistance from Elijah. She walks over towards Klaus and cuddles in his embrace. 

"I love you" Claire sang. Klaus hummed and kissed her lips.

"So, what're you looking at here?" Klaus asks looking at Elijah's desk. The older brother walks over and picks up an older book.

"The Italians call them strega. The Yoruba of West Africa call them aje, meaning mother. Where my mother was from, they called them häxa, and here we call them witch. Over the centuries, vampires have fought them and fought beside them, bedded them and burned them. Whether adversary or ally, they have been a force to be reckoned with. Their ancestral magic anchors this city. There's never been one all-powerful witch until Davina." Elijah explains to the two of them.

"Your Celeste was quite beautiful and a portent evil, according to our volatile artist" Klaus comments. Elijah gives him a look knowing what his brother was up too. Klaus had been the target of Claire's annoyance while Elijah went unscathed. Now, Klaus was hoping to turn the tables and get Claire to be annoyed at Elijah but it wasn't working.

"She's not my Celeste" Elijah stresses growling at Klaus warningly. 

"It's alright, Elijah" Claire whispers grabbing his hand. "It's ok to care about her, I know you love me" He smiles relaxing with her reassurance.

"Perhaps Davina's mistaken what she calls evil for power" Elijah suggests. "Celeste was certainly very powerful in her day, but she's been dead for over 200 years." Elijah looks at the sketches with a troubled look. "I don't understand, why all these sketches now?"

"Why does any witch do anything?" Klaus wonders sarcastically.

"Careful, Klaus" Claire points at him warningly. Elijah smirks lightly as Claire walks away. Klaus sighs and rubs his face tiredly.

"You're the one who knocked her up" Elijah tells him. Klaus rolls his eyes and follows after his mate wanting to make sure she eats something for breakfast.

When Claire arrived in the kitchen she eagerly picked up the sandwich she made the night before. She smiles at the others in the room; Hanna, Kai, and Penelope.

She was about to talk to Kai about his family when suddenly the entire house began to shake. Klaus instantly pulls Claire towards him as Kai does the same to Penelope. The earthquake only lasts a few moments and luckily there was no damage.

"Asher, what's up?" Claire asks answering her phone a few minutes after the earthquake.

"Hey, Rebekah and I are at the Abattoir" Asher told her. Claire nodded already knowing this. Asher and Rebekah favored living at the Abattoir compared to the Plantation. It wasn't nearly as crowded and they didn't have to live with Hanna, Asher's mom. Archie also lived with them not wanting to be too far from his twin.

"Was anything damaged?" Claire asks wondering why he was calling.

"Uh, not exactly" Asher tells her.

"What is it?"

"It's Davina... You should get over here"

*So that dream Claire had, yeah that was my dream. I had it a few nights ago and then I had the idea for that scene where she gets mad at Klaus but not Elijah... I hope it was funny, I thought it was but then again, it doesn't take much to get me to laugh, lol*
