Love consists of this: two solitude's that meet, protect and greet each other.

Marcella had woken up the woods again, only she had been laying on something. Klaus started to move, causing Marcela to get up. She watched as Klaus stretched his stiff bones, not just from sleeping on the forest floor. "Are you OK?" She asks. He takes a moment before nodding. "Thank you." He whispers. Marcella only smiled. "I'd do anything for you." She says and leans over to give Klaus a kiss. "We better get you home. Louis must be worried." Klaus sighed, knowing about the huge explaining he had to tell Louis. Marcella stood, with a hand on her stomach, and began to dust herself.

Klaus watched as she got up and looked back down at his hands. Marcella saw the look on his face and a frown was placed on her face. "You can't hurt me. I know you won't." She says when he got up and began to head towards the village. "I also know you are over thinking this, Niklaus." Marcella adds and goes to follow after her husband. "Marcella don't you know what this means?" Klaus snaps and turns to look at him. Marcella only looked at him with a blank face, not affected by his outburst. "I am a bastard. Mikeal isn't my father. My brothers and sister aren't my brother's and sisters." Klaus frowns.

Marcella only stared at him before continuing on her way. "When has Mikeal ever treated you like a son? And your siblings do not care, Niklaus. You are still their brother. Nothing can change that." She says and walks over roots and fallen branches. Klaus shakes his head and follows after. "Our son will be this." Klaus whispers and Marcella snaps her head to him. "Niklaus if I remember correctly it is I who is a werewolf as well. Even if you weren't our child would still be this." She says with a sneer and rushes away from him. Klaus shakes his head at himself for making Marcella angry at him.

"Marcella!" Louis yells and rushes towards his sister who walked out of the woods. "Please." Marcella tell shim as he holds her at arms length. "What happen to you? What was that last night, Marcella?" Louis demands. Marcella only rolls her eyes and walks towards her and Klaus's home. As they began to walk away, Klaus steps out of the woods as well. Everyone began to whisper and stare at him making Marcella hold Louis back. "Marcella, no." Louis whispers and holds her back from going to him. "Let me go Louis." Marcella sneers and yanks her arm out of his grip.

Marcella walks up to Klaus who was staring at his family from across the village. Klaus looked like he was going to be in tears soon so Marcella pulled him before anyone could see. "Come on, Love." Marcella whispers and pulls him towards their house. Louis moves to the side and watches as they disappear into their home. "You're brother-" Klaus starts. "If my brother wants answers then he will get them here. I do not need to go see him." Marcella says and sets Klaus down. "Would you like some assistants Princess?" Rosita asks entering the shack. "Please, Rosita." Marcella tells her.

Rosita gives a bow and leaves the shack to get supplies to tent to the couple's wounds. "Marcella!" Both Klaus and the Princess turn to the front door. Louis stood, looking between the two. "I believe I deserve an explanation." Louis states. Marcella looks over at Klaus making him realize they want some privacy. "I'll be back." He gives Marcella a kiss to the temple and leaves to look for his family who will talk to him. Marcella takes a seat and gently sips on some tea Rosita had left out. "If you're here just to stand there I would leave."

"Marcella-" Louis begins but gets cut off. "No." Marcella says and crosses her legs. "No?" Louis asks. "No I will not be leaving Niklaus. I love him and I will not be leaving him at a time like this when he needs me." Marcella states boldly. Louis sighs and begins to walk to sit in the empty chair next to Marcella. "I knew you weren't going to, Marcella. No matter how much I want you to. I know you love him so I will not push you," Louis says. "But I want an explanation." He adds. Marcella looks down with a sigh and then back up at her brother. Then she begins to tell the truth.

"I went to Ansel the chief here and asked about it. Louis we are descendants of the first ever werewolf. According to family history the wolf gene was lost somewhere down the line and so it was dormant." Marcella says and takes more sips of tea. "Apparently I am the Lycan which is apparently the queen of werewolves and is respected by all. That's what you saw yesterday when I screamed at you to let me go." Marcella looks down at her hands. "And Klaus?" Louis asks slowly. "Is a Hybrid." Marcella and Louis whip their heads at the new voice.

Elijah stood at the door, looking at the twin siblings. "He is a werewolf and a vampire." Elijah states and goes to stand next to Louis. "What's a vampire?" Louis says terrified. Elijah looks over at Marcella and quickly shifts his face into the monster he truly was. "Monster!" Louis screams and stands quickly which made Marcella stand to hold him back. "Louis he isn't going to hurt you. Please." Marcella pleads and looks up at her brother. Louis looks down at Marcella before looking over at Elijah who's face was shifting back. "I heard my mother and father talking about him," Elijah says looking at Marcella.

"Mikeal was mad at my mother and was screaming at her." Elijah says and looks down ashamed of his father. "She wasn't loyal to her husband. Mikeal isn't a wolf. She must've been with someone else." A scream erupts from outside bringing all three of them to look towards the door. They looked at each other before rushing out to see what the commotion was about. Marcella ran as fast as her belly would let her, of course still lagging behind the two men she was with. All three of them came to a clearing and saw a body on the floor covered in blood. "Ansel." Marcella gasps.

Louis and Elijah look around at the family Ansel had then looked at one another. "Mikeal." Elijah whispered and turned to the twins. "Go back to your home Marcella. Be sure someone is always looking after you. My father knows about the baby. And if he knows it's Niklaus then he will stop at nothing to keep it from being born." Elijah says and helps them back to the home. "Please keep her safe Louis." Elijah says and begins to walk out. "Wait! How do I kill Mikeal if he too is a vampire?" Louis asks. Elijah looks back at him and shakes his head. "You can't." Louis and Marcella look at each other before at the door where Elijah had left.

Marcella's breathing became irregular and she had to hold her stomach from the pain it was emitting. "Marcella are you OK?" Rosita asked when she saw her princess in distress. Marcella tried to calm down her breathing, but the baby was making a fuss. "What's the matter?" Marcella whispered and smoothed down her stomach. "Would you like some tea?" Rosita asked worried about Marcella and the baby. "Please." Marcella whispered and touched her stomach again. "Marcella are you OK?" Louis had entered the separate room when he saw Rosita rush out.

"I don't know. The baby is going crazy. He won't stop moving." Marcella says and grunts when the baby kicked harder. "I think something is going to happen." Marcella says worried and looks up at her brother. Her brother only sat down on her bed and brought her into a hug. "Shh. Nothing is going to happen." Louis says and kisses the top of Marcella's head. "I hope you're right." Marcella whispers and rubs her stomach. "Your majesties, Rebekah is at the door and says it is urgent." Rosita says to the twins. "I got it." Louis says and gets up to see Rebekah. Marcella could only try to sooth down the pain the squirming baby was giving her.

"What is it, Rebekah?" Louis asked the pacing blonde at the door. "It's Niklaus. Our parents-" Louis stops her by telling her to shush. "I don't want Marcella to worry. The baby is moving too much causing her pain." Rebekah nods understanding she wouldn't want Marcella to worry either. "Our parents are doing something to Klaus. Something to do with his wolf side. They have him chained, Louis." Rebekah quietly cries. Louis began to have an inner battle with himself. He finally looked at Rebekah when he made his choice. "Stay with Marcella. But try not to get her to worry. Knowing her she'll go help Klaus herself." Louis says and begins to gather his things.

"Please be careful. Our mother is a witch and our father is a monster. Who knows what they'll do to you Louis." Rebekah says with a worried facial expression. "I'll take your word, Rebekah. Please take care of Marcella and the baby." Louis says rushed before running out the door. Rebekah turned to Rosita who had been helping Marcella walk towards the area they were talking at. "Where is he going?" Marcella huffed. "He um-went out somewhere. He told me to watch you." Rebekah answered. Marcella raised her brows in questioning but didn't say anything. "Very well." She frowned and told Rosita to take her back to bed.

Rebekah looked back out the door before going to stay with Marcella. Rebekah had entered the separate room just as Marcella began to pant heavily in pain. "What's happening?" She says through clenched teeth. Rebekah could only make worried faces as Rosita tried to help her princess through the pain. A wolf howl seized all movement in the small shack. Marcella's eyes frown and she slowly gets up. "Klaus." She whispers. "Where is her?" Marcella asks looking at Rebekah and Rosita. "Marcella please sit back down." Rebekah says and goes to push her back. "Where is my husband!?" Marcella shouts and looks at Rebekah with an angry glare.

Another howl rips through the air and Marcella tries her best to make it outside. Rosita and Rebekah walk behind her telling her she should be resting. Marcella gets to the door and places a hand on the frame. The giant white wolf from when Klaus was shifting was staring at the three girls. Rebekah and Rosita look at the giant animal with wide eyes and turn to a heavy breathing Marcella. By the time they registered what was happening Marcella was already following after the wolf wobbling with a hand on her belly. "Marcella." Rebekah shouts and rushes after her. Marcella stables herself on trees as she sometimes bends over from pain that was only getting worse.

"No Marcella!" Rebekah says and pulls her back with the help of Rosita. Marcella's breath catches in her throat when she saw what was happening. She screams in pain for both Niklaus and the baby that was hurting her more then ever. "Marcella!" Louis shouts from the grasp of Elijah, who seemed to be helping his parents torture his brother. Marcella turns to her brother and begins to enter the clearing in the woods. "No Marcella!" Klaus shouts from the wooden post he was chained to. "Stop her!" Mikeal yells at Esther. "I can't!" Esther yells seeing as she was performing the spell.

"Fine." Mikeal sneers and rushes after Marcella. "No!" Rebekah, Louis, and Niklaus shout as Mikeal makes his way to her. With strength she didn't know she had, she quickly grabbed Mikael's neck and throws him across the clearing hitting a tree, enough to stun him. "My love." Marcella whispers and begins to cut the chains off. "Marcella, please leave." Klaus cries silently. Marcella shakes her head and helps him down from the post. "Marcella please." Klaus whispers. They were too caught up looking at each other and worrying about one another to notice Mikeal had gotten up. By the time they did it was too late.

Marcella lets out a strangled gasp and slowly looks down at her stomach. Piercing right through the middle was a sword, the same one used to kill Klaus and his siblings. "Marcella." Klaus whispers and chokes on a sob when Marcella falls to the side. Klaus didn't seem to care about all the shouting and screaming everyone was doing. Elijah had caught Mikeal and pulled him away and let Esther hold him. "Marcella, please. Come on." Klaus says and cradles her head. Marcella only smiled at him. "I love you Niklaus." Marcella whispered to him and reached a hand up to his face. "No Marcella. We have to think about the baby." Klaus says and places a hand on Marcella's stomach. He lets out more tears when he doesn't feel anything moving.

His ears strain as he tries to hear his child's heart beat. Nothing was there making Niklaus cry more and look a the love of his life. "No you can't leave me. Not when I need you Marcella!" Klaus shouts and holds her closer. "Will I see you again?" Marcella weakly whispers to Klaus. Klaus looked at her bewildered. "You will survive Marcella." Klaus says. "Here." Klaus quickly bites his wrist and goes to place it on Marcella's mouth. "Klaus if you saved me I couldn't possibly live knowing my child is dead. I have to go see him. This is what my faith was. I always was like Arthur." Marcella says and pushes his arm away. "Please. Will I see you again?" Klaus cries more as he looks down at his wife.

"Always."
