Chapter Nine: The River In Reverse

Nobody's Pov

As everyone settled down the next episode began playing.

The camera turns on and we're shown the outside of the mansion before heading inside.

We see Holden walking down the hallway wearing a jean jacket, black shirt, black jeans and sneakers.

"It's really weird seeing him wearing regular clothes and not suits like he normally does" Pol muttered.

"Agreed. But he is free from this job so he can wear whatever he pleases" Arm shrugged.

He had to admit that he was a little jealous that Big could wear whatever he wanted and not his uniform.

And he wasn't the only one.

After he and Klaus returned back to the mansion they came across Rebekah, who had come back after Elijah called her and told her that Holden was missing. Holden had hugged her and welcomed her back home before heading upstairs to his and Hayley's room.

After getting kidnapped and all he just wanted to sleep and sleep is what he got as soon as he crashed on the bed.

"Good. He needs the rest after that stupid hybrid kidnapped him" Ken nodded.

He was happy that for once Big hadn't been his stubborn self and went straight to bed to get some sleep.

After all, he deserved it after what had happened with Tyler.

He slept for a good few hours and when he woke up he took a hot shower before getting dressed.

As he was on his way to head downstairs to make something to eat he heard chatter from the study.

Furrowing his eyebrows together he decided to check it out.

As he walked inside he saw a pretty blonde woman sitting while Klaus stood near her while holding a piece of paper in his hands.

"Who's that?" Chan asked, studying the blonde woman onscreen.

"Her name is Camille O'Connell. She's human and the person Marcel has a crush on" Gertrude explained.

"She's pretty" Jom commented to which a few others nodded in agreement.

"But why is she with Klaus?" Tankhun asked, furrowing his eyebrows together.

He hopes nothing is going to happen between those two since he's really rooting for Klaus and Big, or Holden.

"What is this?" Klaus asked, looking at the paper in his hands.

"It's an ancient mystical plot I'm using to destroy you" Cami told him.

Holden's eyes widened at that while Klaus looked at her in slight surprise but mainly with frustration.

Cami rolled her eyes and replied, "relax it's a tattoo design".

Holden sighed in relief at that but couldn't help but chuckle at her words.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh at Cami's words, clearly finding it amusing.

"Draw on your own time" Klaus told her as he tossed the paper down.

"This is my time. You steal it from me!" Cami yelled at him in frustration.

She angrily gathers her things before storming out of the room, passing by Holden, leaving Klaus to stand there.

Holden hummed as he leaned against the door and crossed his arms over his chest.

"That was interesting" Holden commented.

"I'll say" Porsche muttered under his breath.

Klaus turned around to look at him and raised an eyebrow.

"How long have you been there?" he asked in confusion.

"Not long. Who was that? And why was she here?" Holden asked.

"Her name is Camille and she was here for my therapy session" Klaus told him.

Holden's eyes widened in disbelief at what he just heard.

Almost everyone had the same reaction as Big. They couldn't believe what they just heard.

"Hold up, he's actually in therapy? Are you serious?" Tay asked.

"I'm surprised someone like him would even consider something like that" Ken scoffed with a roll of his eyes.

Pete stared at the screen with his lips pressed together before taking a glance over at Vegas.

Maybe therapy was something he, and maybe even Macau, should consider.

He'd have to talk about it with him later on.

"You? Klaus Mikaelson in therapy? Is the world ending or something?" Holden asked as he uncrossed his arms.

Klaus rolled his eyes.

"I can assure you, love, that the world isn't ending" Klaus told him.

"If you say so" Holden muttered with a shake of his head.

Klaus opened his mouth to say something when his phone rang. With a sigh he took it out and picked up the call as he put the phone to his ear.

After a minute Klaus hung up before turning to Holden.

"Come on, we're heading out" Klaus said.

"Where?" Holden asked.

"I'll explain on the way" Klaus said as he began walking out the study.

"Why do I have the feeling they're going to be getting themselves into some trouble" Kinn sighed.

He was hoping that nothing would happen wherever the hybrid and his former bodyguard were going.

He doesn't care what happens to Klaus but he does care about what could happen to Big.

He just hopes things don't go badly.

"Hey, in case you haven't noticed I just woke up from my sleep and I'm hungry. I want food!" Holden yelled.

"We'll stop by a bakery and I'll compel the cashier to give you something!" Klaus yelled back.

Holden's eyes widened at that and he grinned, "sweet".

He quickly rushed downstairs in order to catch up with Klaus as they were heading out of the mansion.

Raised eyebrows came from everyone at the words from the hybrid.

"Compel? What's that?" Arm asked as he turned to Gertrude.

"Compulsion is an ability of immortals, such as the original vampires, regular vampires and hybrids to control the mind of another simply through eye contact" Gertrude explained.

Everyone's eyes widened at that and they couldn't stop themselves from the interest and curiosity burning through them.

They were learning more and more about the supernatural and it was intriguing to say the least.

Not to mention they were jealous of the abilities they had. They sounded cool.

Especially compulsion.

The scene changes to the docks where we see Holden and Klaus walking side by side.

True to his word, they did stop by a nearby bakery and Klaus compelled the cashier in order to get something for the Marshall male to eat.

Which is why Holden was currently munching on a big cookie while drinking a coffee.

"Damn, now I'm hungry" Macau muttered.

"Same here" Chay nodded, a pout forming on his face.

All of a sudden the two of them felt something on their laps and when they looked down their eyes widened at what they were seeing.

There were trays resting on their lap and it was covered in their favorite drinks and snacks.

The two boys looked at Gertrude who simply smiled at them and winked.

They smiled back at her before digging into their snacks, showing just how hungry they were.

The two of them entered an auto garage and as they walked inside Klaus looked around, trying to find a certain someone.

Klaus seemed to have spotted that someone and walked towards them with Holden following behind him.

The two of them stopped and stood behind the person in silence.

The camera pans over to Josh, who was looking over his car, until he turns around and he jumps at seeing the hybrid and the werewolf.

"God, man!" Josh yelled, clearly startled. 

"I would've pissed my pants if that was me in his position" Jom whispered to Tem.

Tem shot his friend a disgusted look but didn't disagree with him.

He would've passed out being in the same room as Klaus. He was honestly impressed Josh didn't do just that.

Klaus smiled at him while Holden was just in his own world while eating his food.

"I'll never get used to that. Why do I get the feeling you studied theater?" Josh asked.

"All the world's a stage, young Joshua. And, it just so happens, I have the role of a lifetime for you" Klaus said, his face showing nothing but seriousness.

Josh swallowed thickly, worry shown in his eyes.

As the two of them began conversing Holden tuned them out as he continued eating, humming in delight as he did so.

Everyone couldn't stop themselves from laughing.

"He doesn't care about what those two are talking about he just cares about his food" Kim chuckled slightly with a shake of his head.

"Well, to be fair, if any of us were in his position we would be the same" Vegas shrugged.

After a few minutes Josh got into his car and drove off.

Klaus sighed before turning to Holden and raised an eyebrow at seeing that the male was still eating his cookie.

"You're still eating? I thought you would be done by now" Klaus commented.

"Not my fault I'm a slow eater. I take my time when it comes to food" Holden told him.

Ken nodded in agreement since he knew it was true.

Not only did Big love his food but he liked taking his time while eating.

Whenever they were on their break at the compound after a long day of work Big would take the time to eat his food, slowly devouring what was on his plate.

It was amusing yet a little annoying sometimes.

Klaus rolled his eyes before letting out a small sigh.

Holden looked at him for a few seconds before making a decision and he put the cookie near the hybrid's mouth. Klaus looked at him and raised an eyebrow.

"What are you doing, love?" the hybrid asked.

"Offering you a bite" Holden told him.

"Why would he do that?" Porsche asked with a raised eyebrow.

Big never offered anyone a bite of his food and whenever anyone asked him for a small bite he would punch them.

No joke.

He made the mistake to steal some of his fries one time and that landed him a black eye.

"Why?" Klaus asked, confused.

"You look hungry and I can tell you haven't eaten since we left" Holden said.

"I wasn't hungry when we entered and left the bakery and I'm not hungry now" Klaus told him.

Holden rolled his eyes, "for an original hybrid you suck at lying. I can tell you're hungry. So, shut up and take a bite".

Klaus opened his mouth to protest only for Holden to roll his eyes and shove the cookie into his mouth.

Everyone's eyes widened since they didn't expect Big to do something like that.

Klaus glared slightly at the Marshall male before rolling his eyes and taking a bite out of the cookie.

Holden nodded in satisfaction before pulling the cookie away from the hybrids lips and watched as the hybrid munched on the bite he had taken. His eyebrows furrowed together before a hum escaped his lips.

"Wow, that's really good" Klaus commented.

Everyone breathed out a sigh of relief that they didn't know they had been holding in.

They were worried that Klaus would react badly to Big's actions towards him but they were happy that that wasn't the case.

"I told you. Here, drink some coffee to wash it down" Holden suggested.

He handed him his cup of coffee and Klaus took it and took a long sip. Again, another hum escaped his lips and he nodded his head to indicate that he liked it.

"We're definitely going back to that bakery but you'll be getting something for yourself too" Holden sternly said.

"You won't catch me arguing, love" Klaus nodded.

Holden let a small smile appear on his face. He then offered Klaus another bite of his cookie and the hybrid easily took it, sighing in delight.

People couldn't help but raise their eyebrows at the scene they were watching.

It was weird, to say the least, but as long as Klaus and Big were warming up to each other and becoming friends that's all that mattered.

Well, that's what everyone assumed.

Everyone except one person.

Tankhun squealed as quietly as he could even though he wanted to squeal as loudly as he could while jumping up and down from joy.

The interactions between his favorite ship was just so cute and it's showing how much they were warming up to each other.

Some time has passed and the two men had finished the cookie and coffee and had thrown out the trash before waiting for Josh to arrive back with some news.

Finally, Josh returns.

He gets out of his car and is greeted by both men before beginning to tell them what he knows.

"Right, so...not doubting your mad-vampire-skills of destruction or anything, but Marcel's on red alert. Surrounded by, like, an army. You're totally boned" Josh told the hybrid.

Klaus looked angry at that while Holden narrowed his eyes at the newbie vampire.

There was just something about the way he spoke and his body structure that told a different story.

"He's not the only one" Chan loudly said to which everyone nodded in agreement.

There was something about the way Josh spoke that told a different story about the information he was sharing.

Josh hesitated before speaking again, "unless..." he trailed off.

Klaus snapped his head in his direction and asked, "unless what?".

"I overheard him arguing with Diego. Apparently, he's clearing out the compound tonight for a date or something. That's where Marcel will be" Josh told him.

"Something tells me Marcel isn't the only person that's going to be there" Kim muttered.

He had a feeling that Marcel found out what Klaus is up to and is angry at the hybrid for betraying him.

And he also had a feeling that Rebekah was helping him.

He wasn't too sure if she was or wasn't but it was just a feeling.

Looks like he'd have to wait a little longer to see if he was right or not.

Klaus nodded at the information he received before letting a smile appear on his face.

"When I run New Orleans, there will be a permanent daylight ring in it for you, Joshua. For services rendered on to your true king" Klaus said.

Josh smiled at that, looking happy.

"Cool" he nodded.

"A daylight ring is what helps vampires walk outside during the daytime. If they don't have one of those rings on them they will burn and, well, die" Gertrude quickly explained.

She saw the looks she was getting from everyone and decided to just answer before any of them could voice out their questions.

Everyone nodded at her, thanking her for the information, before putting their attention back onto the screen.

But the smile was wiped away from Klaus's face and he stepped towards Josh.

"But, if you ever betray me, I will make sure you spend the rest of your eternal life in exquisite agony, wishing for a merciful death" Klaus warned him.

Josh swallowed thickly at his words, clear fear shown in his eyes.

Klaus smiled at him and patted his shoulder before turning to Holden.

"Come along, love. We have some place to be" Klaus told him.

He turned around and began walking out of the auto garage with Holden following behind him.

Everyone couldn't help but tense up slightly.

They had a feeling something was going to go down and they just hoped that Big would be safe.

None of them really liked Klaus or even knew him that well.

And besides, he's an original hybrid that can definitely take care of himself.

The scene changes to the abattoir and the camera pans to Holden and Klaus who are walking into the courtyard of the compound.

Holden is tense as they walked inside and began scanning the area, trying to search for any threats.

"Klaus, is it smart to be here? What if we're walking into a trap?" Holden asked.

He inched a little closer to the original hybrid while his hand itched to the gun that was in his jacket pocket. He grabbed it before leaving the mansion.

"What the hell is his gun going to do? Especially against vampires" Porsche asked, scoffing.

"It's better to be safe than sorry, hia" Chay reminded his brother.

"Yeah, even if his gun won't do much damage it's better to have some type of weapon on him" Kinn added.

Klaus, without looking at him, spoke, "relax love. Even if that were true I won't let anything happen to you".

Holden huffed slightly but said nothing as he continued looking around to search for any threats.

As they walked more into the courtyard they saw Marcel standing there.

"Klaus" Marcel greeted the original hybrid.

He then looked at the Marshall male.

"Holden" Marcel greeted the werewolf.

Holden said nothing and simply glared at him.

Everyone couldn't help but snort slightly at the glare Big shot Marcel.

It's pretty clear that he was never going to like Marcel anytime soon.

"You've been avoiding my calls" Klaus said.

"Little pissed off lately" Marcel said with a slight shrug.

"Apologies for my behavior can come later. You have something of mine. I want it back" Klaus told him.

Marcel hummed before pulling out the dagger and holds it up.

Holden's eyes widened at seeing the dagger, shocked and confused as to why and how Marcel had it.

Everyone had the same reaction as Holden.

They too were shocked and confused as to how Marcel had the dagger when last they checked Hayley had given it to Rebekah.

"Sorry, but I can't do that" Marcel told him.

He then held it out to his side and Klaus and Holden watched with wide eyes as Rebekah entered the courtyard.

She takes the dagger from Marcel and stood at his side.

"Rebekah?" Holden asked with a frown on his face.

Everyone's eyes widened at seeing Rebekah with Marcel, they didn't expect her to betray Klaus and stand at the side of her old lover.

"I knew it" Kim muttered, feeling satisfied at being right.

Rebekah looked surprised at seeing Holden but quickly shook her head and turned to look at her brother.

"What is this?" Klaus asked, looking and sounding unamused and suspicious.

"Apologies for your behavior? You don't apologize, Nik. You just act. I've had enough. We have had enough" Rebekah said, gesturing to herself and Marcel.

Klaus raised an eyebrow at his sister and stepped forward.

Holden eyed Rebekah and Marcel warily before stepping forward himself.

"Look at you. Finally in possession of the one thing that can take you down. How does it feel?" Klaus asked.

"If I were in her position I'm pretty sure I'd be ecstatic" Pol whispered to his friend.

Arm slightly chuckled but nodded in agreement.

It had to have felt great to have the dagger with her especially since that's the very weapon that Klaus uses against her along with the rest of her siblings.

"Great" Rebekah replied.

Marcel puts his fingers into his mouth and whistles loudly.

Footsteps are heard and Klaus and Holden look around to see twenty or more vampires coming out and surrounded them.

Everyone tensed up at seeing some of Marcel's army appearing and looking ready to fight.

They weren't necessarily worried about Klaus since from what they have seen and learned, he can handle himself.

But the person they were worried for was Big.

Holden tensed at seeing the vampires surround them while Klaus merely chuckled as he looked at his sister and Marcel.

"So this is it? The evil bastard Klaus has gone too far, must be punished. And by his own sibling, nonetheless. How positively biblical. And you, Marcel, is this..." he trailed off.

He gestured towards the vampires, "your idea of a hit?". 

"Is he seriously not worried? Not even in the slightest?" Tay asked with a small frown.

Vegas shrugged as he leaned back into his seat.

"He's an original hybrid with tons of enemies and no doubt those enemies of his are dead. And, no doubt, he killed them himself. He can handle twenty vampires that try and fight him" Vegas explained.

Now, while he didn't really like the original hybrid he did know that he was strong enough to handle anything.

And he knew that within seconds those vampires that are gonna go up against him are dead.

No doubt about it.

"I taught you better than this paltry excuse for a take down. Do you think you can subdue me with this!?" Klaus angrily yelled.

Marcel shook his head with a smile, "no. But I think I can with this".

He whistled again and Holden looked up and his eyes widened when he saw more and more vampires appearing.

It didn't help that all of them had weapons of their own, no doubt ready to use them against Klaus and hurt/torture him as best as they could.

Everyone's eyes widened at the vampires that appear in the courtyard to join the battle against Klaus Mikaelson.

And they had to admit that it was worrying indeed.

Hell, even the ones from the mafia looked worried by what they were seeing.

"Well, shit" Macau whistled as he crossed his arms over his chest.

Pete heard him but didn't scold him or smack him upside the head.

For he had kept his full attention on the screen, wondering just what would happen.

Holden swallowed thickly as he inched closer to the original hybrid.

"Klaus" Holden whispered.

To say he was worried would be an understatement. He knew Klaus is powerful and can definitely handle himself but he didn't know if he would be able to handle all of these vampires.

"Worried about your future boyfriend, huh?" Tankhun muttered under his breath, his lips twitching upwards.

Klaus glanced at Holden before turning his attention back to Rebekah and Marcel.

"Let's end this charade, shall we?" Klaus asked.

He then turned to the rest of the vampires and extended his arms out.

Everyone remained silent and put their full attention on the screen, wanting to know what Klaus would do.

"Vampires of New Orleans! Do recall that I am an Original. A hybrid. I cannot be killed. Eternity is an awfully long time. How long, do you think, Marcel will stay in power? What if one of you lot were to release me, knowing I will be eternally in your debt? Oh, I would pity those of you who dared to cross me. I can assure you, your ends would be spectacular. To borrow a trick from an old friend" Klaus smiled.

He reaches his hand out and show everyone a gold coin.

"Whoever picks up this coin gets to live. Besides Holden, of course" Klaus smiled.

He wrapped an arm around Holden's shoulder, causing the male werewolf to jump slightly, before tossing the coin onto the ground.

"The fuck is he touching him for?" Ken asked, glaring at Klaus with anger.

If he doesn't get his hands off his best friend, original hybrid or not, he will teach him a lesson with his bare hands.

"Now, which of you magnificent bastards wants to join me?" Klaus asked, looking at the army of the vampires.

"Anyone wants that coin, pledge allegiance to Klaus. Take it now. Go ahead. The choice is yours" Marcel told his army.

Nobody from his army move causing Klaus to look at them in surprise for not picking up the coin while Holden tensed more.

Marcel, on the other hand, smirks at the loyalty from his vamps.

"Of course they would side with Marcel. They're basically his minions and follow whatever he says and does" Tankhun rolled his eyes.

Those stupid vampires should've picked up the coin.

But they didn't.

And because of that they're going to die and that's going to be on them.

"Take him" Marcel ordered.

A few vampires immediately sped at Klaus, who quickly shoved Holden aside, before taking them on and killing them instantly.

After he kills them he looks over at his sister and Marcel and grins at them, extending his arms out.

Holden looks relieved at first but then his eyes widened when Marcel made a hand gesture to two of his vampires and those vampires used chains and wrapped them around Klaus's wrists, binding him.

The two vampires use their strength to pull Klaus backwards and he goes flying and lands on his back.

Everyone in the theater tensed at seeing how easily those vampires were able to bound Klaus.

Nobody said anything as they were too invested on the screen, wondering what would happen.

"Klaus!" Holden yelled as he turned around.

He sees Klaus get up and fights at all the vampires that run at him. He puts up a good fight but then gets overpowered as almost all of them go at him without hesitation.

Holden tries rushing forward, wanting to help, but Rebekah grabs him by the arms and holds him back.

"What are you doing?! Get off of me!" Holden yelled, thrashing in her arms.

"No, you can't or you'll end up getting caught in the crossfire" Rebekah warned him.

Holden ignored her and continued thrashing in her arms, trying to get free in order to help Klaus.

Everyone was confused as to why Big was so worried about Klaus and why he wanted to help him.

Big was a good fighter and could definitely take on a few of those vampires, but not all of them.

And if he tried doing just that, simply because he wanted to help Klaus, he would get killed and they didn't want that.

Tankhun, on the other hand, couldn't stop the small smile from appearing on her face at seeing Big worry about Klaus's safety.

It just shows how he cares for him.

Klaus fought back, of course, but more and more vampires kept coming at him and kept throwing either punches at him or used their weapons on him.

Holden's eyes widened at seeing Klaus being sent to his knees and how the vampires were using his weakness to their advantage to hurt him more.

Holden muttered a curse under his breath before stomping on Rebekah's foot, causing her to yell in surprise, and breaks free from her hold and didn't hesitate to rush towards the battle.

"NO!" everyone shouted with wide eyes at seeing Big go into the battle.

"What is that idiot doing?! Does he want to die?!" Ken yelled in anger and fear.

Why did his best friend care about what happens to Klaus when that original hybrid can take care of himself?

Some vampires see him coming and run at him, trying to stop him, but Holden easily fights them off by either snapping their neck or simply throwing them to the ground.

He looks over to where Klaus is and his eyes widened when he sees one of Marcel's vampires, he believes his name is Diego, grab his chin and forces him to look up before slashing his face with a knife and sends a hard punch to his face.

Chay whimpered slightly at seeing Klaus go through all of that and presses his face into Kim's chest.

Kim wraps his arms around his boyfriend and holds him close, gently running his hand through his hair as he soothes him.

Macau was in the same state as his friend and buried his face into his brothers shoulder.

Vegas pressed his lips tightly at what he, along with everyone else, was witnessing onscreen as he wrapped his arms around his little brother comfortingly.

Everyone else watched with neutral yet tense expressions.

Was the great Klaus Mikaelson really going to be overpowered like this?

"No! Nik!" Holden yelled, fear visible in his tone and eyes.

He begins running, trying to get to Klaus and help him, when a vampires speeds in front of him.

Holden's eyes widened when the vampire wraps his hand around his throat and lifts him off the ground. 

"Stay out of this, wolf!" the vampire yelled, anger and disgust shown in his tone.

Holden begins choking and tries to break free but the vampire tightens his hold around his neck. The vampire spins his body around and throws Holden across the courtyard using his strength.

Holden flies upwards to where the balconies are located and his head collides into the metal of the railing, hard.

"BIG!" everyone shouted, their eyes wide in fear at what they had just seen.

"No! Big!" Ken yelled, his eyes widening at seeing his best friend get hurt.

He tried to get up and rush to the screen but was held back by Chan.

"Ken, you can't do anything. None of us can. I'm sorry but you know it's true" Chan told him.

He too hated seeing Big get hurt and he wanted to help but he knew he couldn't, it just wasn't possible.

Ken gritted his teeth in frustration, he knew Chan was right but it didn't stop him from feeling useless at not being able to do anything.

"Holden!" Rebekah yelled, her eyes wide in shock and concern.

Holden falls to the ground and drops with a loud thud. He groans in pain and lies on his side as he struggles to get up.

The camera pans over to Klaus, whose head was bowed forward, who perked up at hearing his sister yelling Holden's name as well as hearing the groans of pain coming from the male werewolf.

A deep growl escapes his lips and he picks his head up, his hybrid face coming out.

Rebekah turns back to her brother and her eyes widened in fear to which her grip on the dagger loosened, causing it to drop to the ground.

Marcel looked shocked and scared at seeing Klaus with his hybrid face, indicating that he wasn't going to hold back anymore.

Everyone's eyes widened and they felt shivers go down their spines at seeing Klaus's hybrid face comes out.

One things for sure is that it definitely, 100%, rivaled Tyler's.

Especially at how enraged he looked.

"Oh shit" Jom breathed out.

"Oh shit indeed" Tem nodded in agreement.

It was about to go down. Especially now that Klaus was done playing nice.

Klaus swiftly gets up on his feet and begins attacking the vampires that were nearby and, this time, he was the one sending them to the ground or killing them.

After biting one of the vampires he used his speed to grab the vampire that had hurt Holden and ripped his heart out before tossing his body, along with his heart, to the ground.

"MARCEL! COME AND FINISH THIS!" Klaus roared.

Everyone shivered as they took in Klaus's appearance.

His hybrid face was still out, he was definitely still full of rage, and blood was covering his mouth along with a few other parts of his face.

Marcel tried running forward but Rebekah quickly stopped him.

"Smart" Kinn muttered.

He knew that Klaus would just kill Marcel if he tried to intervene. He along with everyone else knew that.

The camera pans back over to Klaus who continued killing the vampires that came at him, not holding back on any of them.

Klaus punched Diego before lifting him off and tossing him to the ground to which he groaned in pain and coughed.

Klaus then used his vampire speed to rush at the other vampire before jumping forward as he grabbed onto a few of them and instantly killed them.

He turned around and his hand wrapped around the throat of a female vampire and got ready to choke her and snap her neck.

"ENOUGH!" Marcel finally shouted.

Everyone in the theater flinched at hearing Marcel's loud voice.

But they continued watching the scene with their full attention as they wanted to know if he would fight Klaus or would surrender.

Silence filled the courtyard and the fighting came to a stop as Klaus let go of the vampire.

Everyone whipped their heads to look at Marcel, wondering what he would do.

Marcel pressed his lips together tightly before stepping forward and crouched down to the ground. He slowly picked up the coin and held it up, looking up and making eye contact with Klaus.

"Holy shit. He actually did it" Porsche breathed out in disbelief.

"He actually surrender to him" Pete breathed out himself, in the same disbelief as his best friend.

None of them could believe that Marcel would easily give up his power, his kingdom, to Klaus.

But they guessed that he knew that he couldn't win against the original hybrid and if he did he would end up dying along with the rest of the vampires.

Klaus walked towards him with nothing but amusement shown in his eyes.

"Well, well, well. The great Marcel, self-proclaimed king of New Orleans, bowing before me" Klaus said.

Marcel glared at him before throws the coin at Klaus's feet.

"There. I hereby pledge my allegiance to you. You have the keys to my kingdom. It's yours" Marcel told him.

Klaus said nothing and simply let a gleeful smile appear on his face.

"Of course he would be happy now that he has what he always wanted" Ken muttered in annoyance.

A groan was heard which made Klaus whip his head around.

The camera pans over to Holden who was now sitting on the ground as he held onto his bleeding forehead.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh in relief at seeing Big alright.

Yes, they were worried at seeing the injury on his forehead but all that mattered was that he was still alive.

Klaus's eyes widened at the state the Marshall male was in and he sped over to him. 

When the hybrid was close he crouched down in front of the werewolf male and gently placed his hands onto his shoulders.

"Love, are you alright?" Klaus softly asked, his eyes scanning over the male for anymore injuries.

Holden shook his head to which Klaus frowned and gently ran his finger against his wound on his forehead.

"Come on, lets get you home" Klaus said.

Holden nodded and tried getting up but struggled due to the pain. Klaus frowned before scooping him up in his arms, carrying him bridal style.

"Poor guy seems to always be in pain" Tay softly frowned.

Big seemed to always be getting hurt in any type of situation and, even though he didn't know him that well, he felt really bad.

First it was the kidnapping and now this. He deserved a break.

Holden said nothing and simply nuzzled his face into the hybrid's neck and closed his eyes.

Klaus looked down at him with a soft look in his eyes. He turned to Rebekah and glared at her to which she looked away guiltily.

Klaus spared Marcel and his remaining army a glance before speeding out of the courtyard to head back to the mansion.

Everyone sighed in relief, happy that Big was out of that place and heading back home.

"I hope we get another scene of those two when they get home" Tankhun muttered.

He was hoping that with Big injured Klaus would take care of him considering Hayley and Elijah were still in the bayou and Rebekah wasn't returning to the mansion just yet.

He wants to see how Klaus would be taking care of Big.

He's excited for it.

The scene changes back to the mansion and the camera pans inside and we head into the kitchen.

Holden is seen sitting on one of the kitchen stools. His forehead was wrapped up in white bandages and he was currently holding a cup of tea in his hands.

"That freaking idiot should be back in bed, not in the kitchen" Ken sighed while rubbing his forehead tiredly.

Chan chuckled and placed a hand on his shoulder causing the male to look at him.

"Just be glad he's sitting down rather than doing anymore moving around" Chan said.

Ken merely hummed before turning his attention back to the screen with Chan doing the same.

Footsteps are heard and Klaus walks into the kitchen, his face no longer covered in blood, with his hands in his pocket.

"Are you feeling any better?" Klaus asked.

Holden sighed before speaking, "I'm still in a bit of pain but with my werewolf healing it should go away soon".

"Do you need anything else besides tea?" Klaus asked.

"No, I'm alright. Thanks" Holden shook his head.

Klaus nodded before letting out a sigh.

"Why?" he asked.

Holden looked at him with a raised eyebrow and asked, "why what?".

"Why would you get into that battle when you knew you could've been hurt?" Klaus asked.

"Because he's a stubborn idiot. That's why" Ken rolled his eyes.

"Reminds me of someone I know" Kinn hummed as he turned to his boyfriend.

Porsche glared at him to which Kinn chuckled before leaning in to kiss his temple.

"Nik, I couldn't just stand back and do nothing. I saw them overpowering you and even if you are the original hybrid there's no way you could've beaten them on your own" Holden explained.

Klaus raised an eyebrow at him as amusement flashed through his eyes.

"You did see me killing those assholes in the end, right?" Klaus asked.

"And you did see that I was basically lying on the ground nearly unconscious because one of those assholes attacked me" Holden shot back.

"That's his own fault for stepping in. Just saying" Vegas shrugged.

Pete glared at him and smacked his shoulder, hard, causing his boyfriend to hiss slightly.

"Fair enough" Klaus muttered to which Holden rolled his eyes.

"Look, my point is I wasn't going to not do anything. Seeing those assholes look smug at being able to take you down, seeing them hurt you and laughing as they did so, it bothered me. I knew I had to step in and help you" Holden explained.

Everyone couldn't help but frown at Big's words.

They don't understand why Big tried helping Klaus, they don't understand why he felt the need to help him and they certainly don't understand why he seemed to care.

The main family bodyguards know that Big is protective of those he cares for.

But they didn't expect to see him act the way he did especially for someone like Klaus.

It was weird to say the least.

Tankhun, on the other hand, couldn't stop the small smile from appearing on his face.

Seeing Big act the way he did just for Klaus shows that he was beginning to care for the hybrid whether he knew it or not.

Klaus stared at him and he could tell he was serious about what he said, he sounded genuine.

The hybrid had to admit that he's never heard anyone say those things to him before, let alone the brother of the woman carrying his child.

Klaus cleared his throat and slowly nodded his head.

"Thank you, love. For stepping in and trying to help me. And I'm sorry you got hurt because of it" Klaus said.

"Eh, don't worry. This isn't the worse I've been through" Holden waved him off.

The ones from the mafia couldn't help but wince slightly at his words.

Kinn frowned, remembering those missions he had assigned Big when he was still working for them and how a few times he would come back injured.

A slight pang of guilt washed through him but he quickly shook that away.

Klaus looked concerned at that but decided to ask about it another time.

He hesitated for a second before pulling a black box out of his pocket and handed it to Holden who raised an eyebrow.

"What is that?" he asked.

"It's for you. Something I thought might come in handy" Klaus told him.

Holden frowned and took the box from him. He inspected it carefully before looking at the hybrid.

"It's not going to explode, is it?" Holden asked.

Laughter filled the theater at his words along with a few shake of heads.

Klaus chuckled slightly before shaking his head, "it's not going to explode. I promise".

Holden merely hummed before opening the box.

He looked inside and his eyes widened at what he was seeing. A beautiful bracelet.

Everyone's eyes widened at the beautiful bracelet onscreen and a few gasps escaped their lips.

"Oh my" Tay breathed out, his eyes sparkling a bit.

"It's beautiful" Pete smiled, admiring the bracelet.

"You can say that again" Porsche muttered, admiring the bracelet as well.

"Nik" Holden gasped, looking up at the hybrid.

"A few years ago I met this witch and, believe it or not, her and I became friends due to me helping her out a few times. Because of it she told me that if I ever needed anything that I just had to ask and she would do it without hesitation" Klaus explained.

He took out the bracelet from the box before setting the box down.

He looked at Holden for permission as he grabbed onto his arm and Holden nodded.

"This bracelet not only covers your scent but it also helps so that you won't have to worry about turning on the full moon" Klaus added.

Tankhun let out a quiet coo, finding it adorable that Klaus bought something for Big so that it would be able to protect him.

Holden watched as Klaus attached the bracelet on his hand but even after getting the bracelet on him the hybrid didn't let go of his arm.

Not that he minded.

"I don't really know why I had her make something like this but I guess I thought if I ever came across a werewolf and I happened to like them and even become their friend, I would reward them with something they would cherish forever" Klaus added.

Holden looked up at him and a faint smile appeared on Klaus's face.

"And, what better person to give it then you" he finished.

"How weirdly thoughtful" Ken muttered.

He wasn't really expecting Klaus to give his best friend something that could protect him.

Hell, nobody in the theater did.

But he didn't really care because as long as Big had something that would keep him safe, something that wouldn't put him in pain, that's all he cared about.

Holden let out a breathless chuckle as he looked down at the bracelet and began to admire it.

"Do you like it?" Klaus asked, sounding a little worried.

"Like it? Nik, I love it" Holden told him, a small smile appearing on his face.

He, without thinking, wrapped his arms around the hybrid and hugged him while burying his head into his shoulder.

Klaus flinched slightly, not expecting that, but that didn't stop him from slowly wrapping his arms around the werewolf as he slowly hugged him back.

"Thank you" Holden told him.

"No worries, love" Klaus softly said, sighing in content as he inhaled his scent.

Almost everyone's eyes were popped out in shock and disbelief, they couldn't believe what they were seeing.

Except for Tankhun, of course.

He was barely keeping it together. All he wanted to do was scream out in joy at seeing the interaction between Klaus and Big.

A few seconds passed and they, quite, reluctantly pulled away from the hug.

Holden looked away from Klaus, a little shocked and embarrassed by what he did, as a blush appeared on his face.

Klaus cleared his throat and rubbed the back of his neck, trying to fight a smile that wanted to appear on his face.

"You liked it, admit it you son of a bitch" Tankhun muttered with a shake of his head.

Gertrude chuckled slightly at his words but couldn't help but agree.

After all, she too loved seeing Klaus and Holden together. They were the best.

"Well, it's getting late. You should get to bed" Klaus told him.

"Yeah, that's probably for the best" Holden nodded.

He tried hopping off the stool only to let out a yelp of surprise when Klaus scooped him up into his arms and carried him bridal style.

"Nik, you know I can walk right? My legs still work" Holden reminded him.

"Oh, sorry, what was that? I couldn't hear you" Klaus grinned cheekily at him.

"Yeah sure he can't" Macau chuckled with a shake of his head.

Holden glared at him but Klaus just chuckled before he vamp sped upstairs to put the werewolf male to bed.

"His glares don't work on the original hybrid" Chay said with slight smile.

"No they don't" Kim nodded in agreement, wrapping an arm around the waist of his boyfriend.

The scene changes to the next day and the camera pans to Holden who was walking out of the kitchen while eating yogurt.

Klaus was currently upstairs and Rebekah had returned home, knowing she would have to face her brother one way or another.

"If I were her I would've ran off and not looked back" Jom frowned.

He knew that Klaus was most likely going to punish Rebekah for betraying him and siding with Marcel to take him down.

And he knew that the punishment he had planned for her was daggering her and shoving her into her coffin.

"Even if she did run no doubt he would track her down and drag her back to New Orleans" Tem told his friend.

He too wanted Rebekah to run to avoid getting daggered.

But there was no point when Klaus would do whatever he could to find her and still dagger her.

The camera pans to the front door and we see it opening and we see Elijah walking inside.

"Hey. Where's Hayley?" Holden asked.

"Hello, Holden. Hayley is outside. Where are Niklaus and Rebekah?" Elijah asked, looking around for his siblings.

Holden said nothing and simply gestured upstairs. Elijah nodded before heading upstairs.

Holden walks outside and smiles when he sees his sister sitting on the front steps, looking deep in thought, and was holding a book in her hands.

"Where did she get that book from?" Porsche asked with furrowed eyebrows.

"How about be quiet and continue watching and we'll find out" Ken told him with a roll of his eyes.

Porsche glared at him and opened his mouth to retort but stopped when Kinn wrapped his arm around his shoulders, kissing his cheek to calm him down.

Porsche muttered a curse under his breath before leaning into his boyfriends side.

"Hey, Hales" Holden greeted his sister as he sat down next to her.

"Hey, Hol" Hayley greeted her brother.

Her eyes met his and a frown appeared on her face at seeing the white bandages wrapped around his forehead.

"What happened? Are you alright?" Hayley asked in concern.

Holden touched the bandages that were around his forehead before sending his sister a small smile.

"No worries, Hales. I'm fine, nothing major" Holden reassured her.

"Nothing major? A freaking vampire tossed him in the air like a basketball" Macau commented with slightly wide eyes.

"That's Big for you" Chan sighed while shaking his head.

Hayley didn't look convinced and opened her mouth to ask more when Holden beat her to it.

"What about you? What happened in the bayou and what's with the book?" Holden asked, pointing at the book in her hand.

Hayley's eyes widened and she immediately startled telling her brother everything she found out while her and Elijah were in the bayou.

"I met this woman in the bayou, her name is Eve. And she told us some information about our family" Hayley said.

Holden frowned at that and asked, "like what?".

"Like the fact that Marcel had a witch curse them so that they are wolves every single day and that they can only turn back humans on the full moon" Hayley explained.

Everyone's eyes widened at that since they weren't expecting that.

"Wait, really? Is that possible?" Arm asked.

All eyes fell on Gertrude who sighed but nodded her head to confirm that it was true.

"Marcel had a witch put a werewolf curse on them. It's called the Crescent curse and that curse has them stay in werewolf form and they only turn back humans on the full moon" Gertrude explained.

Everyone all looked at each other at the information they just learned.

Even if they didn't know the werewolves that were cursed they couldn't help but feel bad for them.

They definitely wouldn't want to be in their position where they basically have to remain werewolves for the rest of their lives.

Holden's eyes widened at that as he paused his eating.

"Holy shit" he cursed.

"Yeah, but that's not all" Hayley told him.

She opened the book to a certain page and handed it to her brother who took it with confused eyes.

"This is a bible that contains a family tree that goes back generations. And look at the last two names that are listed on the page that I turned to" Hayley said.

Holden looked at her in confusion before looking down at the page that held the last two names.

Andrea Labonair, 6 June 1991
Alexander Labonair, 8 July 1992

"Hales" Holden muttered, his eyes wide in disbelief.

"I think those are our birth names. It has to be since those are the days we were born. I think we're Andrea and Alexander" Hayley told him.

"Wait, wait, wait, wait. Big's real name, his birth name, is Alexander Labonair?" Ken asked.

He only just found out that Big lied about his name during his time as a bodyguard and that it was really Holden Marshall.

He just never expected that 'Holden' wasn't his birth name and his birth name was something else.

"Yes, Andrea and Alexander are the names the siblings were given at birth. Of course, they never knew that since they were adopted as babies and believed that the names Hayley and Holden were what they were born with" Gertrude explained.

Ken said nothing and simply leaned back in his seat, trying to process everything.

He definitely wasn't the only one.

Holden couldn't believe all this information his sister has just shared with him.

He always assumed his name was Holden. He only came up with a fake name during his time in Thailand but he never imagined that Holden wasn't the name he was born with.

It was alot to process.

"You said it" Ken muttered, burying his face into his hands.

Chan shot him a worried look before placing his hand on his back and rubbed it comfortingly.

Holden opened his mouth to say something when the door opened causing him to turn around and see Klaus walking out.

Klaus continued and without looking at either of the siblings he spoke.

"You two are coming with me" Klaus said.

Holden raised an eyebrow at that and closed the book as he handed it back to his sister.

"And why would we go anywhere with you?" Hayley asked, taking the book back from her brother.

"Pretty sure he would kill you both if you didn't" Pol commented.

"Not really since Hayley is carrying his child and we can tell he cares for Big" Arm reminded him.

There's no way Klaus would hurt either of the siblings, especially Big.

Klaus turned around to face the female werewolf.

"Because, Hayley, that child you carry is the only thing on this earth that matters to me. Along with your brother, of course" Klaus told her.

Holden let a small smile appear on his face and continued eating his yogurt while Hayley looked between her brother and Klaus with furrowed eyebrows.

"Aww, he admitted it" Tankhun gushed, clasping his hands together in excitement.

Kinn and Kim looked at their brother with raised eyebrows, wondering what he was on about.

Vegas and Macau did the same before shrugging it off and putting their attention back onto the screen.

"Now you can fight me on this, but you will lose" Klaus said.

He walked towards the car that was parked and opened both the car door of the back and the passenger seat.

"As will anyone else who tries to stop you two from getting in this car" Klaus finished, waiting for the two of them to get into the car.

The siblings look at each other before they sighed and got up.

Holden quickly finished his yogurt before throwing out the trash. He walks to the car and gets into the passenger seat while Hayley gets in the back.

Klaus nods in satisfaction at seeing them both get inside before getting inside himself and drives off.

The screen turns black, indicating that the episode was over, and everyone sighs.

Everything they just learned was definitely alot to process especially when it was about Hayley and Big.

Not to mention some were still trying to figure out just what was going on between Klaus and Big because they seemed to be getting way too close to each other.

Which could be seen as them getting comfortable with each other to be friends, but they don't believe that.

Looks like they would just have to continue watching and see what would happen next.
