Early in the morning Aisha and Magnus gathered the people and their children to the canoes. Ready to start their new life somewhere else they headed south.
It was a long and hard journey for Aisha and Magnus people. Sadly having to endure harsh storms and sickness losing some men, women, and children along the way.
Finally, after 6 months the people landed and started looking for a place to call home and after 4 days the people came upon a mountain. The first thing they did when they settle was say a prayer to fallen ones that they lost.
After the funerals and prayers, some of the men and some of the women went hunting for wood and food. Magnus leading his fellow men and women to the forest near the mountain came back close to sunset with wood for the fire and dears and rabbits to eat.
Aisha was in her small tent with her children sewing new clothes for them to wear.
“Mama where are we?” Cairo asks looking at his mother with curious eyes.
“Well my son we are near the Black Sea”
“Yes, I know that mama but more specifically where are we?”
“Okay....” Aisha put aside the needle and the clothes to put her full attention on her son.
“We are on a mountain near the Black Sea “ Cairo has a sour look on his face well Aisha wear a smile and went back to sewing.
“That’s not specified, mommy”
“Well I’m sorry my love I’m not good with geographic that’s your father thing”
“Fine, I go ask papa then” Cairo walked out of the tent to look for his father.
After a good minute or two Cairo finds his father near the edge of the woods sitting on a log looking at his people busy themselves with tasks around the camp.
”Father?”
”Yes my son”
”Where are we?”
”On a mountain near the Black Sea,” Cairo looks disappointed at his papa.
”That what mommy said”
Magnus smiled at his son and patted the spot next to him.
”To tell you the truth my son I have no clue where we are but I can tell you this.....” Magnus looked at his son and smiled.
”Its gonna be our new home forever” Cairo looks at his dad and nodded.
”Now muharibi go gather your brother and sister for dinner ”
”Okay papa” Cairo hugged his father and ran to go look for his siblings.
Magnus got up and made his way toward his tent. Crawling inside he sees his wife laying down starting at the nothing.
”My love is everything alright”
”Oh yes everything fine” Aisha sat up and look at her husband with a small smile.
”Well the food is prepared if you want I can bring it to you”
”Oh thank you, my husband, that would be nice”
Magnus smiled and an in to give his wife a kiss on the cheek before making his way back out to get her some food. Making his way toward the group of people he saw his children eating and chatting with the other children.
As he was putting meat on a piece of bark for him and his wife. Magnus senses someone was watching them he look around the camp and notice the other werewolf felt the same.
”Husband something wrong” Magnus looks toward his wife's voice and frowned not liking the feeling of the unknown source that’s making them feel this way. It was getting a little tenser.
Magnus made his way closer to his pack with his wife behind them. The pack and the clairvoyant surround themselves around the children.
”Whoever you are revealing yourself NOW!!!” Magnus yelled to the presence.
Suddenly there was a snap that came from the forest. Magnus and his pack shifted into there wolf forms ready to protect their family and attack the intruder.
Aisha and her covenant were on guard as well as eyes shifting to their misty grey.
“We won’t ask again show yourself,” Aisha says looking toward the forest.
“ Alright Alright, no need for violence,” says a male voice.
“Who the hell are you and what you doing spying on us,” Aisha says looking at the man in front of her.
“Well I wouldn’t call it spying,” says the voice stepping out of the dark and into the light of the fire.
“ Then what would you call it then,” Aisha says folding her arms still looking at the men with her misty grey eyes.
The mystery man shrugged his shoulders “ Observing”
Aisha rolled her eyes at the men before her “You still didn’t answer my question”
“ And which question would that be”
“The only obviously one left”
“Oh where are my manners....” he says stepping a little close to the group. Magnus growled at the man as he walks toward his wife.
“ I am Silas and who might you be dear,” he says smiling toward Aisha
“ Queen Aisha of Oyo-Mauretania and this ( pointing at the white wolf with red eyes) is my husband, King Magnus of Macedonia,” she says
”Well your highnesses....” he bowed toward Aisha and then Magnus
”Would you mind my Queen if you ask your husband to shift back so we can talk?” he asks eyebrows raise with a small smirk on his face.
Aisha looks toward her husband who had his eyes still trained on the newcomer.
”Magnus” he turns to look at her and read her eyes he grunts and shift back to human form his pack following along.
” King Magnus,” Silas says nodding toward him
”What you want?”
”Well I guess we can jump right into it then as I said before I am Silas I come a long way from Greece to Romania in search of immortality,” he said walking around the pack of people watching him with close eyes.
”What that got to do with us?” Magnus says watching the man sit down on a log near the fire watching the fire dance.
”Absolutely everything ” he glanced toward Magnus and then to Aisha for a little too long for Magnus liking he soon steps in front of his wife to block his view of her.
Magnus turned to his people.
”You all go back to your tent me, Aisha and our new guest have something we need to talk about”
Everyone took that as there cue to go to bed. One of Magnus's trusted betas came up to him. ” Are you sure? I and some others can stay a little longer”
”No no no go spend time with your family I and Aisha would be fine,” Magnus says with his hand on his friend shoulder
The man nodded his head and turn to leave. He glances over his people leaving until his eyes landed on Marcella who was looking at the guy curious.
He walks up to her and picks her up
”What's on your mind, my sweet child”
Marcella cupped her hand around her mouth and lean toward her father's ear and whispered ” I tell you later” she wiggled out of his arms and ran to her mother for a hug before she was taken to her tent with her brothers by one of Aisha pupils.
Soon enough there were only three of them. ”So what you want from us”
”Not you but her,” he says pointing at Aisha.
”What you want from me?” Aisha says with furrowed eyebrows
Silas smirked, ” What does any man want”
Aisha and Magnus look at each other before look at the men.
He rolled his eyes, ” Don’t answer all at once ”
”Would you get to the point already!” Aisha says getting agitated
”pushy aren't we” he raised his eyebrow amused from her outburst. Magnus and Aisha bother glared at the man with anger.
” Fine you guys are no fun...” he adjusts his robes, ” I want immortality for me and my true love”
”As sweet as that is I can't do that I'm not that powerful”
Chuckling, ” Your lying,” he says in a sing-song voice.
Aisha rolled her eyes, ” Listen you git you got the wrong person”
”Hmmm...” Silas stood up and looks to you then at Magnus, ” káfsi aímatos” he raised his hand toward Magnus.
Magnus in blur went toward Silas, putting his claws into his abdomen, ” aaaahhhhhh ” Silas screamed in pain. Twisting his hand Magnus went deeper.
” Magnus that's enough. Stop it your gonna kill him” Aisha says
Sudden a girl emerges out of the forest running toward them, ” please stop it your killing him please”
Magnus looks toward the girl and then back at his wife who had her hand on her small baby bump a beat went by when he turns his hand out of Silas' stomach.
”You need to leave now,” Aisha says holding on to her lover's arm trying to calm him down.
”Not without immortality spell,” he says being held up by the girl, ” Silas let's just go we can find another way”
”NO!” he growled at the girl still holding his stomach, ” we need to get you back to the village before you bleed out my love,” she says
”Village?” Aisha says looking at the two, ” Yes just 5 miles east of here” the girl said
”civilization? How many?” Aisha asks quickly, ” None it was abandoned after the Battle of Sacele the rain stopped pouring so the crops stop growing me and Silas only people there,” she said.
Aisha looked at her husband for a quick minute before he nods his head and she jumping into action, ” lay him down on this mat...” she says to the girl as she points to a mat cover in the dirt.
Aisha goes on her knees on the side of him and pulls his robes aside to his injury she then puts her hand on his wound. He hissed as she starts muttering under her breathe.
A second pass when she rubbed her hand over the now gone wound not even a scar was left behind, ” I knew it...” he says looking at his gone wound and looking back up at Aisha with a smirk.
”Let me get something straight with both of you..” she says eyeing both of them down as she stood up, ” I give you the immortality spell if only if you take us to that village deal?” Aisha says
”Deal,” they both said in unison the girl looked at Silas and hugged him smiling.
”You both come back here tomorrow morning,” Aisha says walking away with her trailing by her side.
”wait, ” the girl said
Stopping Aisha turned around toward the girl, ” Thank you so much for saving him” she says
” You welcome,” Aisha says about to walk away, ” I'm Qetsiyah,” she says holding her hand out.
Aisha grabbed it and smiled, ” Aisha” they shook hands.
Pulling away Qetsiyah turned toward Silas and both started their way back to the villages.
Aisha stared at them until she can no longer see them. She turns toward her husband putting her hand around his waist and started walking.
When they get to the tent their children are already asleep. Aisha slept on the other side of Avery well Marcella in the middle and Cairo on the other side with his father behind him.
Aisha and Magnus grabbed each other hand. Aisha sigh looking at her children, ” What's on your mind”
Aisha looked at her husband, ” Nothing ( shaking her head ) I tell you in the morning” Magnus nodded his head and closed his eyes fell asleep.
Aisha stood there wide awake“That poor girl”


Shaking her head Aisha closed her eyes slowly felling to asleep
The next morning Magnus and Aisha kiss there babies before going to the edge of the woods to wait for Silas and Qetsiyah.
"So are you going to tell me what kept you up all night or are we gonna pretend that never happened," Magnus says looking at his wife.
"The second one sounds quite nice," she said looking at her husband with a grin on her face, "Seriously what kept you up all night. I'm only asking because I care for you and the baby" he asks looking at her with concern in his eyes.
"I know..." she leans in to kiss his cheek, sighing "... it just when I was healing Silas wounds I saw something"
"What you see?"
"I-I saw Silas and a girl kissing but the girl wasn't Qetsiyah I think it was her handmaiden," she said looking at her husband with distaste on her face.
"That what kept you up all night Silas cheating on his little girlfriend"
"It's not just that it's-it's the fact that he lied to her to us"
"What? Aisha what they do is none of our concerns let's just get this over and never see them again. Okay?"
"But-"
"No but's I know you want to tell her but it not our problem"
"So if we were in the same situation you wouldn't want one of your friends or beta's to tell you that I was with another lover"
"Of course I would but the difference between us and them is that your my mate and we were destined to spend eternity together and I kill for you in a heartbeat..." she smiles and squeezes his hand, "... But we are not their friends we own them nothing so it's not our business or yours to her anything. "
Sighing, " I hate cheaters" she mumbled, " I know my dear " he pulls her into a warm embrace her face in his chest well his face is in her hair breathing in her scent.
"Awww isn't that just precious," said a male voice, " isn't that just sweet my love?" he said ruining the moment for the two lovers.
"It is my dear," Qetsiyah says looking at the couple fondly well Silas looked at them with a smirk well his arm around Qetsiyah waist.
Aisha glared at Silas with fury in her eyes, " Qetsiyah it's lovely to see you again" she says giving her a warm smile, " Likewise may I just say your glowing this morning do you always look this good in the mornings" she asks starting at Aisha in awe.
"Yes"
Magnus says. Aisha with a smile looks away from her grinning husband who stares at her with love. She turns back to Qetsiyah.
"Thank you Qetsiyah pregnancy can do that to a girl," she says a hand on her bump, "Oh. Oh! Wow, congratulations. Is this your first child together? Do you want a boy or a girl " the young girl says in one breathe with excitement.
Silas looks bored with the conversation well his girlfriend was buzzing with the excitement, " Thank you, Qetsiyah and No this actually our fourth child hopefully more to come and we kinda hoping for a boy this time. " she says looking at the girl.
Qetsiyah was about to open her mouth and say something when" Can we get move on already we're burning sunlight" Silas says turning around making his way through the woods.
The young girl looked disappointed for the moment when she looks at Aisha with apologetic eyes and turns to fellow her fiancée.
"Asshole" Aisha whispered well her husband nodded in agreement. They started to follow the young couple.
"So how far is this village of yours," Magnus asks to stand next to his wife.
"Not that far" Silas deadpanned
"Just a 1 hour and 37 minutes walk unless we get lost than 2 hours and 35 minutes," Qetsiyah says looking back at the couple with a grin.
"That's very specific," Magnus says looking at the back of the girl's head. Qetsiyah shrugs her shoulders, " When you have nothing else to do you tend to take notice of things" she says not looking back at them.
"Hmmm"
"So Qetsiyah how did you and Silas meet," Aisha asks trying her hardest not to step on rocks, " Oh! We knew each other since we were just babes. Basically marrying my best friend" she says smiling towards Silas who was not paying attention to the conversation.
"Aw that's sweet you two must know each like the back of your hands," Aisha says looking at Qetsiyah with a smile, " Yep. Isn't that right my love"

"Hmmm" he grunts walking over a tree log.
Qetsiyah smile deflates a little, " Don't take it personally Silas isn't really a morning person." she says looking at Aisha and Magnus.
Aisha smiles at her, " So....is it true?" Qetsiyah says looking at Aisha with her had brown doe eyes, " Is what true." Aisha says acting like she didn't know what the young girl was talking about.
"You know...Being the first immortal, creating the first werewolf and bestowing supernatural abilities to men and women around the world. " she says looking curiously at Aisha.
"Uhh...I guess you can say that I am" Aisha says feeling a little weird. She never really talked about being one of the few first witches to walk the earth.
"Wow I can't believe it..." she says looking at Aisha like she was gold, " Well believe it," Aisha says awkwardly stepping over a rock.
"Do you mind if I ask you somethings when we get to the village. I have always been a bit curious about the first witches. " Aisha look into Qetsiyah's hopeful eyes hoping to be told all the secrets and knowledge about the witch lineages.
"Yeah sure"
"Oh that's just grand I heard so much that-"
"Get would you please just give it a rest already. I'm pretty sure she doesn't want to hear you the whole walk there." He says, " I know I don't" he mumbled the last part quietly but they heard it.
At that moment a pebble hit Silas in the back of his head, " Ouch! What the hell!" He spun around looking at the three people. Qetsiyah looked shook well Magnus glared at his wife who only smirked at Silas.
"Oops. My bad" she says with an unapologetic tone.
Shaking his head and smiling, "You know for a powerful witch..." Aisha raised an eyebrow at him, "You know what you're not even worth it"
"Very mature of you. Must be nice finally being the bigger person "
"You know what I don't get why I even need you in the first place. I and my love are powerful witches and-"
"Well, first of all, you don't have the spell, and second your not really that powerful your girlfriend on the other hand her energy is just very very strong. " Aisha says looking at Silas than Qetsiyah.
"Thirdly you really desperate that you need me to do the immortality spell for you and your 'true love' "she says looking him deep in the eye when she says the last part. You can see in his eyes were shock well his face was neutral.
"Aisha!"Magnus says in a harsh voice, pulling her away from the younger couple, " You need to calm down and don't let him get to you" he says
"Did you hear how he talked to her as if she was a nuisance..." she said looking at the couple, " I'm gonna tell her"
"No you are not whatever is going on between them is their business. Aisha looked at me (she look at him) as much as I want to tear his heart from his chest for what he said to you and her. I can't just like you can't tell her about the other women."
She looks away again, " Okay. Aisha!" "Okay I won't say nothing" she rolled her eyes and went back to her spot next to Qetsiyah.
After 12 minutes of walking, they finally got to the village. And like they said it was a ghost town. Everything looks untouched except one house that's where Silas and Qetsiyah slept.
"Okay we got you here now will you help us," Silas says looking at the couple with his eyebrows raised.
"What you think honey do you think we can bring this village back to life," Magnus says putting his arm Aisha shoulders looking at the rundown village, " Hmmm yea I think I and the girls can work with it," she says nodding with a smirk on her face.
"Good now, can we get on with it. We had a deal" he says looking impatient with them, "Yes we did but the sun is about to set and I don't know about you but this gal is tired and wants to rest for a bit. We can talk about the spell tomorrow"
Feeling Silas's anger brought a smile to her face well walking away from the young couple with her husband, making their way towards an empty house.
*10 minutes later*
*Knock Knock*
“Umm...come in?” Aisha says confused
“Hi. How you feeling” Qetsiyah asks coming into the light-up hut, “ Good. You?”
“Good. Where’s your husband Magnus?” Qetsiyah says looking around for the werewolf, ” He went out to found food for me and the little one” Qetsiyah nodded her head.
”So on the scale 1-10 how mad is Silas,” Aisha says looking at Qetsiyah, “ um I would say a solid 5,” she says looking weary at Aisha who had a grin on her face.
“Hmmm” was all Aisha said going back to writing in her grimoire, “ Wow is that a grimoire I never saw one before. Is that one yours?” Qetsiyah says looking in wonder.
“You never saw a grimoire before I thought you were a witch?”Aisha says jokingly well Qetsiyah giggled, “ I mean where I come from we only have a book that teaches us about spells and charms,” she says sitting down on the makeshift bed next to Aisha.
“Hmmm. To your question this belongs to my mother” Aisha says holding up her grimoire and looking at it fondly, “What happened to her?”
“It was just me and her when I was young me and my mother was forced to leave our home in Nigeria. On our way to Egypt, a storm came and separated us. “
“Oh, I’m so sorry Aisha I didn’t mean to open up old wounds.” Qetsiyah says looking at her sadly feeling stupid for being it up, “ It’s okay. It’s in the past and I shouldn’t let it affect me in the present.”
“Do you miss her?”
“Every damn day,” Aisha says with teary eyes, she sniffs and wipes her face of her tears, “ On a lighter tonight. How much do you know about your witch lineage?” She said changing the subject.
“Not much just that there was an eclipse that gifted five people supernatural abilities and was put on earth to control mankind and have them do our bidding,” She says shrugging her shoulders.
“Urg at least they got the eclipse thing right. “ she whispered under breath.
“Witches weren’t put on the earth to control humans. We are children of the universe we were given this power to protect the innocents and nature from people who want to destroy it.“
“So we're like guardians angels. ” Qetsiyah says with her head tilted to the side a little. Such an innocent child Aisha thought.
“That’s one way to put it.” She says smiling.
“So how did you know you had powers”
“One night I was sleeping and a women came to me in a dream at the time I was just 11 and she told me that she and others were gifted with power just like me and my mom. “ she says holding her book to her chest, “She went on to say that if I will it to be she will unlock my powers so my mother would teach me how to control it.“
“Who was she? Did you know her.”
“No, but I had an inkling who she might be. we only saw each other in my dreams where she talks to me and others about what we are and what we were born to do..”
“Who did you think it was?” She asks leaning in eager to know.
“In my dreams, I saw her as Nana Buruku the goddess of creation in Benin. Well, others saw her as there own version of their religion. “
“Wow I wish I could have met her”
“You already have.”
“I did?” She asks confused
“Yes, every time you walk through the woods or use your magic she is there with you. “Aisha says looking at Qetsiyah as the young girl nods her head at the information.
“Well it’s getting late and Silas probably wondering where I am. I leave you to your spells” she says getting up and making her way toward the door, “ Wait...” Qetsiyah stopped near the door, “ Yes?”
“Who is Amara?” Qetsiyah looked taken back at the name of her handmaiden, “ She’s....she’s my handmaiden and my very close friend. How do you know about it?” She asks confused
“One of my special abilities is to see through the minds of others. May I give you some advice” Qetsiyah nodded her head.
“You're too good for him. He doesn’t deserve your love or your heart, you deserve better than Silas” Aisha says looking into her brown eyes. The young girl was shocked once again by the powerful witch.
No one never told her that she deserves better. Everyone told her that Silas was as good as she can get and she believes them.
Qetsiyah looks at Aisha with her misty brown eyes. She knew what Silas and Amara were doing, she just hopes maybe if they had alone time he can rekindle his love for her. She was wrong.
“Thank you,” she says with a teary smile and left.
Not a minute later Magnus came back with berries and water for Aisha.
“What’s wrong with Qetsiyah?”
“I gave her some advice and it’s up to her to choose what to do with it.” She says popping a couple of berries in her mouth.
“Huh” was all he said before laying down next to her and putting his arm around her stomach to his hand was on her bump.
“Goodnight” he yawned
“Goodnight my love” she turns and kissed his lips.
*Next Morning*
Aisha woke up with a start getting up and making her way outside where she find Silas walking toward her.
“Silas”
“Aisha”
They stared at each other for a bit before Silas open his mouth again.
“I know what you try to do last tonight. I have to tell you it didn’t work Qetsiyah is never gonna leave me your plan have failed” he said looking at her with a smirk.
“I have no idea what you talking about. I gave her advice and what she did with is her business only. “
Silas walked up close to Aisha. She can feel his breath on her.
“You know I’m actually impressed. Your more powerful than I thought. “ he says moving around Aisha like a predator to his prey, “ You know I kinda like this side of you it’s kinda a turn on.” He said close to her ear.
Silas moves around Aisha so he can be in front of her. She gave him a stern look and he started to feel like his head of on fire.
“Aaaahhhhhhh what the hell are you doing to me!!” Silas fell to the ground holding his head.
“A little contradiction that cooked up a well back...” she says bending down in front of him, “ I called pain infliction what your experiencing right is your blood vessel going pop,” she says popping the p with a smile.
“S-stop I-i-it no-o-ow!”He groans in pain his eyes and ears start bleeding.
“You wanna know the cool thing about it is
you heal fast so that gives me the pleasure of doing it over and over again” she says getting up and walking around.
“S-s-stop”
“Oh, what’s wrong Silas I thought you were tough guy, a badass who can take it. ”
“P-please” he screams in agony.
“Oh I stop under one condition ...” she says looking down at him having a seizure, “ I want you to beg,” she told him. He looked at her for a moment, “ G-go too he-ell”
She smirks at him, “ I see you there” she looks kept looking until she heard footsteps behind her.
“Aisha! What are you doing?!?!” She heard Qetsiyah say from behind her, “ I’m teaching your boyfriend a lesson” she says again well another wave of pain went through Silas's brain.
“Q-Q p-p-please m-m-ake h-her s-s-stop,” he says tears of blood running down his face.
“Okay, Aisha that’s enough,” Qetsiyah says putting her hand on her should, “ that’s enough” she squeezes her shoulder gently and smiles at her.
Aisha looked at Qetsiyah with misty eyes she hated the fact that this man causes this girl she considered a friend so much pain. She looks down at Silas and wave her hand over him and stop the pain stop.
Silas gasps breathing hard, “ Lets this be a reminder Silas if you hurt her...” she says pointing at Qetsiyah and looking back down at him, “ in any way I would find you and believe me when I say this I will find you and I will make you and that whore wish that you never were born”
She makes her way back to the house where her husband is leaning against the doorway watching the whole phenomenon, ”Feel better?” he looks at you with a glint in his eye, ” Hell yeah. Let's get this thing over with so I don't have to see his fugly face again” she says walking past her husband to get her grimoire.
*2 hours later*
After eating and having her husband cuddle her and their unborn child. She made her way to Qetsiyah and Silas's house. She knocks on the door of their house, waiting for someone to answer.
“Here to torture me some more,” Silas says opening them to Aisha.
“Oh no for once this isn’t about you. I need Qetsiyah. “ she says batting her eyes and looking over his shoulder.
“Why? So you can convince her to turn against me” He asks suspiciously looking her up and down, “ No actually I need her help with the spell.” she says looking at him with a smile.
“Finally. You don’t need Q I can help you with it. “ he says stepping outside ready to go, “ No you can’t...” she says putting her hands up stopping him.
“Yes I can my powers are stronger than hers,” he says crossing his arms and giving her a stern look, “ Okay I’m gonna let you in on a little secret...” she says leaning toward him and whispering, “ just because you say your power doesn’t mean you are,” she says smirking
Scoffing Silas about opens his mouth, when Qetsiyah emerges from the house to Silas and Aisha talking.
“What’s going on?”
“Oh Q there you are I need your help with the spell,” Aisha says walking around Silas.
“ m-me why,” she says confused, “ yeah why her,” he says getting angry and walking next to Qetsiyah.
“Well it’s because your powerful, like really really powerful like on my level type powerful,” she says looking at her
“What?!?! You got to be kidding me right?” Silas says chuckling and turning around to face the woods. Aisha looked at Silas annoyed and went back to Q.
Qetsiyah was conflicted, she didn’t know what to do, “ Is it that hard to believe that I may be more powerful than you Silas?” she says looking toward the man she once loved.
Silas looked at her taken back by her words. Never in years, they know each other did she question his motives, “ Of course not I mean we don’t even know if it may work or how much it would affect you I’m just trying to look at for you my love”

He says going toward her and grabbing her hands,” I love you Q I don’t want to see you hurt” he says looking deep in her eyes.
She looked at him for a well and pull her hand away from his grasp, “ There was a time that I would have believed those words. But now...” she shakes her head and walks towards Aisha.
Feeling tears in her eyes she turns toward Silas who was still in the same spot staring at her previous place in front of him, “ You are free. When the spell is finished you will return back home to Greece with it.”
“What about you?....” he says stepping out of his trance, “ Where will you go.”
“Does it matter-“
“Of course it matters. What-*sigh* What am I suppose to say to your family” he says looking at her.
“Tell them whatever you want, I’m done being push around by you and by my family. “ she says
Qetsiyah looked at Aisha, “Tell me what I have to do” she says determine Aisha shakes her head at Q.
Aisha waves her hand to follow to another empty house where she kept her grimoire and the ingredients.
“Wait before we do this I need to know something”
“What is it?”
“ Is it possible to make a cure for the elixir.”
“ Uh yes why do you ask”
Q looked away from Aisha, “ No reason” she says with a smile that’s didn’t reach her eyes. Aisha nodded her head and the got started immediately.
After 5 hours on working on the elixir and the cure. Aisha looks at Q, “ So what are you planning to do.”
“I don’t know maybe travel around the world go to Italy or France maybe London.” she says smiling, “ Maybe if am lucky I can find my soulmate along the way.”
Aisha looked at Q and smiled, “ You and I know that not what I meant.” Q looked at her and tilt her head backward, “ I know and to be honest I really don’t know what am going to do.” she says
“ I so badly want to destroy everything he ever loves. I’m so angry at him for what he put me through,” she says putting her hand on her face.
“Then do it,” Aisha says looking at her, “What” Q sniffles and looks at Aisha confuse.
“I said then do it. You made that cure for a reason put it to good use.” Aisha says getting up from her seat at the table and making her way in front of Qetsiyah.
“ I thought you say we were supposed to protect humans”
“I did but...” Aisha says having a sour look on her face, “ Silas and that Amara girl deserves bad juju for what they put you through.”
“I don’t know Aisha. Amara....she could be innocent in all this, she could have been just someone to keep his bed warm or his way to get out of the marriage. “ she says rubbing her fingers through her hair.
“But he's not and we both know that. “ she says looking at Q with pity.
Aisha grabbed both of Q hands, “ You remember when I said one of my many powers was that I can see through people's minds....”
“Uhh yes”
“Another one of my power is to see the future I never told anyone this before, well except Magnus but anyway I can see little bits and pieces of everyone future.” She says, “sometimes they're like riddles, other time they just plain simple.”
Aisha gently squeezes Q hands, “ When we first meet I looked into your eyes and I saw your future.” Q looked at Aisha curiously.
“What did you see?”
“I saw you. You had gray hairs but you still look fine as wine...” they laughed, “ and there was a man sitting next to you, holding your hand and kissing your cheek. Then suddenly this young girl she looked about 12 or 13 years old ran towards you and gave you a hug. She had your smile.”
Q had tears coming down her face, “and she had your eyes. They all did, your lineage will carry on for a generation and after generation. You will be well respected by the witch community and by other supernatural beings. No one will even know the name Silas or Amara because you gonna do great things so will your descendants. “
“So...What do you think I should do?” She sniffles.
Aisha looked at Qetsiyah. “It depends entirely on you Q, either way, you still get your happy ending.”
*SunRising*
Aisha and Q walked out of the house and made their way toward Silas and Magnus sitting on the porch of Aisha and Magnus's temporary house.
“So how did it go?” Silas asks looking at Qetsiyah worrisome.
“Good but I have to go back to Greece and finish off the other half of the spell so it will work,” Q said looking down at her feet.
“Okay,” Silas says nodding, “ Um Q what will happen when we get back home.” He says stepping closer to her.
“When the elixir is finished I will tell my parents I got cold feet and travel the world like I always wanted.” She says looking at him through her eyelashes.
Silas nodded his head, “ okay I go pack our bags” he left.
Q turn to Aisha and smiled, “ Well this where we say goodbye I guess” she went to hug Aisha, “ I really don’t like goodbyes how about I catch up with you later.” Aisha says wiping her face.
“Yeah, I like that better too.” She says pulling away and looking at Magnus. “Well, Magnus you are a man of few words. But I’m gonna miss you nonetheless. “ she says holding out her hands to shake, he smile and caught by surprise with a hug.
“It was nice meeting you as well Qetsiyah,” he says stepping away.
“Now the only thing left to do now is to say goodbye to the little fella” Q bend down to Aisha's stomach, “Hello there little one I wish I got to meet you up close and personally but maybe I will someday,” she says straighten up and putting a hand on Aisha bellying.
“Woah,” Q says snatching her hand from Aisha’s stomach, “Did she/he just kick me,” she says surprised
“Yep they did,” Aisha says smiling looking toward Q with her hand rubbing her belly, “ I’m gonna miss you Q”
“I’m gonna miss you too Ash” Q was about to leave when Aisha spoke up, “ Before you go. How did you and Silas find us” Aisha ask curious
“ To be honest I had this odd dream when I was in Greece about a woman who told me to look in the mountain of Romania to find what I seek. Then on I trusted my guts” she says
“ Hmmm, I guess you could say our meeting was fate.” Aisha says looking at Q, “ Yeah I guess that’s one way of saying it.” Q smiled at her.
“Q everything’s packed” Qetsiyah looked behind and saw Silas with there two horses, “ Well that’s my ride”
“Hold on a damn minute...” Aisha says looking at the horse, “You two bastards had horses this entire time and didn’t think to bring one with you when we had to walk a mile to get to this place” Q looked sheepishly at her well Magnus has his hand one his mouth so he wouldn’t laugh.
“Um.... sorry?” Aisha shook her head and hugged Q one last time, “Have safe trip kiddo”
“ You too Aisha” Q walked toward Silas and the horses and got on one of them.
“Hey Ash” Q shouted across the village
“Yes?” Aisha shouted back putting her hand in front of her so the sun won’t hit her eyes.
“I catch up with you later. Okay,” she says smiling on top of her horses.
“Okay,” Aisha says smiling well waving, Q and Silas rode off leaving Magnus and Aisha behind in the abandoned villages.
“I gonna miss her”
“ I know”
They stood in silence for a well. Before Magnus spoke, “ So do you remember how to get back to camp” he turns to her.
Aisha sighs “ I go get grimoire,” she says waddling away
“Oh don’t think that I forgot about turning the boys”
“Yeah yeah”
Magnus chuckled and went to fellow his wife.
The sun was peaking through Aisha and Magnus's bedroom. The light hit Aisha's face waking her up from her slumber, she groans and turns around facing her husband.
"Good morning, sleepyhead," he says smiling with his eyes close, Aisha grunts putting her head in the crook in Magnus's neck.
"We need to get up." Aisha groans and put her hand over Magnus's mouth, " least talking, more sleeping"
Magnus chuckled moving Aisha to the side, he got up and went to Avery and Cairo room. He opens the door to the boy's room to find one of the beds empty.
He walked to the right bed and shook Avery awake, " hey....hey...Avery wakes up!" Avery joint awake looking around the room until he's eyes landed on his father, "What papa?" He says groggily rubbing his eyes and turning to the side, " where's your brother?" Magnus looks at the empty bed then back at him.
Avery mumbled something that Magnus couldn't catch, "What?" He says loud in Avery's ear well leaning his whole body over Avery to hear him clearly, " urg papa get off your way like a torn....." the young man says getting crushed by his father, "I get off when you tell me where your brother is" he says messing with his child's hair, " If it gets you to stop shouting in my ear. His probably at Salina's house" he says moving his head away from his father's touch.
Magnus got off his son and grunted at the new knowledge he just learns about his son whereabouts, " thanks....you can go back to sleep now..." he says almost walking out of the room, " Oh I almost forgot" he did a 360 and walk back to his son bed and punch him in the arm really hard, " OW WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!?!" Avery yelled sitting up on his bed looking at his father well rubbing his hand over his probably bruised arm.
Magnus smiled down at his son, " Oh I just thought you just needed a little something to wake you up..." he then wrapped his arm around Avery giving a bear hug, which caught Avery by surprise. He gave his son a kiss near his hairline, " Happy Birthday Avery" letting go of his son and looking at him.
"Thanks, Papa," he says smiling shyly, Magnus got and patted Avery on his shoulder, "Now that's said and done. Go get your brother before your mother wakes up and wreak havoc on all of us" making his way out the door, "But you said I can go back to sleep"
"I LIED" Avery rolled his eyes and got up to get ready for the day and find his twin brother.
Magnus made his way to Marienna’s bedroom to check in on her, he walks in and sat on the edge of the bed, "Are you up?"
Marienna groans and buries her head in her pillow, "Like mother, like daughter" he whispered smiling, "Come on darling. It time to get up" he says pulling the cover off of her body, " what time is it?" Flipping over her whole body facing the ceiling.
"It's time to get up," he says patting her stomach and getting off the bed, making his way out of the room. She closes her eyes, "I MEAN IT MARCIE, NOW!!!" her eye flung open and she groans really loudly so her dad can hear her distaste.
Magnus walked in the kitchen to find Aisha cooking well the twins Yasmine and Luka sat near the fireplace drawing. He gave both children kisses on the forehead, " Hello my love" she says when he walked towards the kitchen giving her a kiss on the cheek, "Hello lovely"
Aisha starts fixing everybody's plate, she placed the plates at her children usually spots. Magnus came behind her and started to kiss her neck.
"Magnus!" she squeals turning around facing him, "The kids are like five steps away from us." they both look back at the young twins who weren't paying no mind to there parents.
"Yasmine!Luka! Go wash up..." Magnus says watching his wife who was watching the children leave, "...See problem solved" he smiled and went back to attacking her neck with his kisses and bites.
Moaning, "Come on, Magnus the children will be back any minute." Magnus lifts up Aisha onto the table and leans back onto the cold surface. He grunts and moved his mouth towards her lips and his hand went up to her dress well her hands went up to his brown hair.
Neither of them heard the door open or the sound of feet coming towards them.
"OH FOR THE LOVE OF—" Cairo turned around with disgust on his face.
"OH GODS MY EYES! MY EYES!" Avery put his hand over his eyes rubbing them hoping to get the image of his parent out of them.
"EWWWWW" Yasmine and Luka made a scrunch up face with Marienna hand covering their eyes well she shakes her head with a look of disdain.
"You do know we eat here right?" Marienna says watching as her mother pushes away her father well adjusting her dress and getting off the table, " That's wasn't a rhetorical question." Her mother looked down embarrassed well her father looked highly annoyed taking a chair to sit down at the head of the table waiting for his food.
"Yes we know..." she says getting the plate of food and putting it on their plates, " We're sorry it won't happen again," she says sitting to her husband well there children took there sits, "Speak for yourself" Magnus mumbled digging in well his wife glare at him and kicked his leg under the table.
"Ow," he smiled towards her when she rolled her eyes and shook her head, "Mommy why was daddy up the top of you making weird noises," Luka says both twins looking at their mother with curiously.
Aisha stopped chewing her food and look towards them, "oh...umm....well....uhh...oh what's that I think the baby crying I'm just gonna go get...honey" she says looking toward her husband who chocked on his scrambled eggs well she getting up and going to her and Magnus's room.
Cairo and Marienna looked the way their mother left with an amused expression, well Avery and the twins looked at their father confused, "We have another sibling" Avery lean forward his twin brother and his young sister whispering looking at them confused.
Cairo looked at his brother with an eye roll going back to eating well Marienna closed her eyes putting her pointing finger and middle finger together to rubbing her temple, and Magnus sigh closing his eyes, " No Avery we don't have another child....unless.....your mother is pregnant" he says smiling at the last part.
"I'M NOT SO GET THAT SMILE OFF YOUR FACE," she says in the bedroom, Avery looked shook at his mother responded.
Magnus deadpanned grumble going back to his breakfast, soon enough Aisha emerges from the bedroom going back to her seat next to her husband, "Sorry I must have been the neighbors baby" she says smiling and going back to her food.
"Mr. and Mrs. Dasley don't have a baby," Marienna says looking at her mother with her eyebrow raised, "shut up and eat your breakfast," she says looking at her daughter with a blank expression.
Marienna rolling her eyes went back to eating, "You still didn't answer our question mama" Luka says looking at his mother with strawberry jam in the corner of his mouth. Aisha grabs a cloth from her pocket and wipes the corner of his mouth.
Sighing, "Well when two people love each other dearly they....hmmm they show each other affection with.....touch?" looking at her husband with an eyebrow raised.
"Yea...Like mommy said now eat your breakfast" Aisha deadpanned look at her husband response, "On a different note are you guys excited for the blue moon festival" she looks toward her boys with a big smile, "Since it's also your 18th birthday I hope to talk to you discuss somethings with you" Magnus says looking at Avery pointedly.
Before Avery could say a word, "What about me? It's my birthday to father." Cairo looked at his father with an eyebrow raised, "I know my son it just Avery, and I have important things to talk about." Giving him small smile.
Cairo looked between his twin and his father, he places down his fork and scratches the side of his face, " Of course..." folding his arms and nodding his head slowly, " take the noble brother to discuss how to lead a pack well your firstborn do nothing" Avery mumbles picking up his fork and moving his food around.
"Cairo that's not how it—" Avery starts, "Kai that's not nice apologies to your brother now" Magnus nods agreeing well Cairo looks at his mother disapproving face waiting for him to apologize, " Mama he doesn't have to apologize-" he tried to talk.
"No, your mother right. What Cairo said was unnecessary. Apologize. " he says looking at his oldest son pointedly, " He just said I didn't need to apologize..." looking at his parents with a sarcastic smile.
Both parents glared at their oldest, Magnus was going to say something before there was a knock, " I get it" Avery got up quickly and went to the door, Aisha and Magnus looked at their son.
"I don't care what he says you gonna apologize to him," Magnus whispered
"That's no way to treat family Kai. You know you hurt his feelings-" she starts, "His feelings? No disrespect "mom" but what do you know about me or my brother...." Cairo laugh at that, Aisha took back well Magnus glares at his son, "That's enough Cairo. You apologize right now!"
Cairo stares at his father with anger, he nods his head, "I'm sorry...." he looked down at his plate, " that you think that fool you called a son who is too stupid and too sensitive is worthy to lead a pack...." looking at his dad, he turns his attention to Aisha, "I'm sorry....that you think just because you raise us since we're 10 means that you our birth mother...Your not!" he shouts standing up looking at Aisha with hatred.
Magnus got up from his seat almost knocking it over about to wring his son neck until Aisha put a hand on his arm bringing him back down to his seat.
She got up off her seat with her head high and her eyes teary. Before she can say anything Avery tackled his brother the ground, both throwing punches at each other.
Aisha told Marcella to take the twins to their rooms, before trying to help her husband get Avery off Cairo. After a while Magnus pulled Avery off of him putting distance between Cairo and Avery, standing in the middle of them, "You are so childish Kai how dare you! Say something like that to our mother! The only women who could ever love us!"
Cairo only glared breathing heavily at his brother, " Such a mommy's boy and father think your fit to lead. Pathetic!" blood dripping down his nose from his brother's right hook. Avery with a busted lip begins to speak again, "You such arrogant ass...".
Glaring at his brother Cairo ran around his mother just to be thrown onto the table by her. Sliding off he moved to do it again until he saw her "Don't even think about it" look with her hand raise.
"Just for the record BIG brother. Father and I weren't going to discuss we were going to collect the dagger I got you for your birthday..." Avery says grabbing the dagger from his pouch and slamming it on the table near his brother.
Cairo looked at his parents then at Avery before picking up the dagger and looking at it closely, the design on the front was unique when he flips it to the back it was an engraved "afdal 'asdiqayiyun , 'akhia almuntasir" (My best friend, my victorious brother).
He looked at it for a while eyes watering sniffing, "Father said ever leader needs a dagger to show their sacrifice and accomplishment" Cairo looked at his brother who walked out of the house to get some air, Magnus followed after his son to comfort him.
"Come on my dear let's clean up those cuts..." Aisha says leading her oldest towards her and Magnus's room, she sat him on the bed before going to the bucket full of water next to the fireplace to clean his wounds.
Well, Aisha dab the wet cloth on her son wounds focusing, Kai sat his knife beside him and started looking at his mother closely, "I'm sorry mother" he said ashamed his eyes full of tears ready to fall, " I know bebè I know you didn't mean what you said. It hurt but I know you didn't mean it." She says dabbing the wet cloth on his dry blood under his nose.
"But I shouldn't have said it. I was being unreasonable like always" he whispered the last part looking down, Aisha grabs his chin gently pulling it up to look her in the eye, "Yeah you were kinda a dick sweetie," she nods looking at him with a serious face before they both laugh at each other.
"Thanks, mom. You always know what to say" he says smiling at his mom, " I do what I can," she says rubbing little mud on his left cheek was a cut was.
She patted his legged, " Now keep that on for there about four hours." Cairo nodded and got up going towards the door, "What do you think your going young man?" Aisha says looking at him with a raised eyebrow.
"I was going to find Avery and papa to apologize, " he says stopping in his track looking at his mother with a confused look, "You almost forgot your dagger," she says walking towards him with his dagger, she kissed his right cheek and ruffled his hair, " Be safe my son"
"I'm always am" he gave his mom that same goofy smile that his father has, she shook her head walking him toward the door seeing him off. He turns around waving goodbye before running toward the woods to find his father and brother.
She smiled at him and until she felt uneasiness, she looked around and didn't see anyone looking at her or paying her mind so closed the door to her house. Not notice the man from the woods watching her.
After 10 mins of wandering around the woods, Cairo finally finds his brother and father in a clearing where they would go to cool down.
A couple of feet away from them Cairo when he says a snake slither passed him. Jumping 3 feet in the air he ended up slipping in mud during the process and landing face-first into the mud.
Both father and son looked around trying to find the sound until they look behind them and saw Cairo coming toward them covered head to toe in mud.
Avery and Magnus looked at Cairo make his way closer to them before looking at each other and busting out laughing. Cairo stood in front of his father and brother, " Yes yes let all out " he says trying to wipe the mud off his face and neck but having no luck.
"Oh brother what happened," Avery says between laughers looking at his with a grin on his face, " I was walking around the woods looking for you both until...." he says motioning his arm towards them, " and I saw a snake" he mumbled the last part.
"What?" Magnus says wiping tears from his eyes trying to cool down, "I said... I saw a snake" mumbling again, " I didn't catch that" Avery says learning towards his brother chuckling, " I said I saw a snake" Magnus and Avery bust out laughing again holding on to each other so they won't fall. After a well they both calm down again well Cairo looked at both of them with a grim face.
"It's not funny," he says sitting in front of them on a patch of grass, "Oh yes it is I haven't laughed like that since you and Avery fell in the river well fishing last summer" shaking his head at the memory and looking towards his oldest.
"Yeah," the twins say in unison, they both look at each other and smiled, " I'm sorry brother I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions and calling you a fool you didn't deserve that...." Cairo faces his father, " I'm sorry father for disrespecting you as well I hope you both will accept my apology"
Magnus got up from his spot next to Avery and patted Cairo's head, " You are forgiven my son.... but if you disrespect me or anyone else like that again I would not hesitate to lay you out in front of our tribe..." looking down at his son with a quirked eyebrow, " Y-Y-Yes sir I won't happen again" eyes wide with his hand up.
"It better not," Magnus says squeezing his son's shoulder really hard making Cairo make a face and move back to his spot, "So brother am I forgiven?" He asks rubbing his shoulder and looking his brother wearying, "As long as mother forgive you. I guess I do" he says full attention on a stick he picked up twirling in hand, " She does I told her sorry the moment you guys left. She was understanding and knew I didn't mean it." he says looking at his brother.
"Then you are forgiven," he says half-heartedly snapping the stick in half and throwing it behind him.
"So now that Cairo apologizes. We must discuss tonight, " Magnus clapped his hands and rubbing them together looking at both of the boys. Both of them settle in and waited for their dad to speak.
"You know what happened to me awhile back when we used to live in Egypt. Right?" They shook their heads, no, " Ah. You know what your mother is...right...."
"Our real mother or Aisha?" Cairo gave his brother a look, "Aisha obviously" the oldest says, Avery glared at his brother.
"No one asked you!"
"BOYS!" Yelling before an argument can start Magnus shut it down real quick with a look.
"Uhm sorry" "sorry," both said quickly
"Yes...Aisha. Do you know what your mother and her friends are?"
"Yes...She's one of the original five witches firstborn to start her lineage of witchcraft." Avery looks at his brother surprised well his father looked with pride, "What? I listen" he says to his brother and looking back at his father with a grin. Avery rolled his eyes.
"Yes we know of mother history," Avery says casting a quick glance at his brother, "Good. Good. Do you remember when I first meet Aisha?"
"Yes, we were about 4 or 5...." Avery says glancing at his brother for confirmation. Cairo nodded, " you and some of the men and women from our village went on a hunt for boar who was eating our crops...."
"....But you got separated from the group and was.... an attack by a wolf...You could have died" they grew quiet after what Cairo said. Avery looked away from them well Avery looked at his hands and Magnus glanced at the somewhat blue sky.
"Yea..." Magnus says quietly, looking at his sons, "I know but I'm not I'm here with you guys."
"We know...it just-"
"You could have died...and-and we would have been left with her," Avery says looking at his father sad.
Magnus looked at both of his children, "What if I told you that you never have to worry about anyone you love dying...ever"
Both boys looked at their father in question, "What do you mean?" Cairo asks first, "Do you remember a while back me and your mother had to help some visitors with somethings." They both nodded, "Well your mother help one of the visitors with a spell a morality spell." He says looking at his sons
"Father are you asking us. If-If we want to be immortals" Avery asks looking at his father with an indescribable expression, "No...I mean yes but I'm asking if you want more like....me" arched eyebrow
"Like you how?" They stare at their father for a few minutes until his eye glowed red, and they jumped up off their spots.
"Whoa!" They said unison looking at there father wide eyes, "Yeah..." he said breathily, "I'm what some people call a Lycan or werewolf by others"
"So the dream I had about you turning into a beast was real.." Avery says under his breath, "Yes"
Cairo looked at his father angrily, "Hold on a minute. When I told you what I saw in my room since I was 10 you called me crazy. I kept seeing it in my room and I thought I was losing my mind." Arm crossed.
"Yes, I'm sorry that your mother thought it was best not to tell you until you were at an understanding age."
"So...So was it you who was in our room all this time?" Avery says looking uncertain at his father, " Yes, sorry if I scared you two when you were young. Peaks of being a Lycan is that you can sense people's emotion, " he says looking at his sons.
"When you were kids I sense that you were scared or anxious and I would just lay on the floor in front of your beds hoping it keeps you calm or at least comfortable. " he says smiling at the memory, "Did...Did it work" Avery asks looking at his father?
"Yes. It did" he said smiling well Avery grin a little.
"Still can't believe this" Cairo says rubbing his face, "It's not like we hide it," their father said looking at him.
"Well felt like you did. I mean how were we supposed to know that you turn to another wolf in the night. You really didn't leave hints father." Cairo says pacing and running his hands through his hair.
"It kinda was obvious...I called our tribe a pack would be one...calling Farr my beta is another and calling your mother Luna was a third. Now what does that say about me"
"That you like giving out nicknames, " Cairo says looking complex making Avery laugh, Magnus rolled his eyes with both him and Cairo laughed along with him.
After a few minutes of a laugh, they grew quiet.
"Yes"
Magnus and Avery looked at Cairo surprised, he saw the looks they were giving him, "What?"
"I don't you think you should think about it a little longer Kai" Magnus looked at his second oldest with confusion.
"What's there to think about Avie. We get to live forever, don't you want that"
Avery didn't say nothing, he sat back down on the log and put his face in his hands, "no" muffled
"what?" Cairo asks glancing towards his father and back at his twin, "I said no" Avery says again looking up towards his brother and father, " I'm sorry....but I don't think I can live like that brother"
Avery looked down again, "Brother father is giving us an opportunity that we cannot pass. We can be together forever...." he says moving to be in front of Avery bending down to his level.
"Do you remember that little saying we had when we were kids.." he asks putting his hands on Avery's knees, nodding.
"Yeah. You would say to me whenever I was feeling scared....but I'm not scared Kai I'm-I'm-I'm"
"Conflicted" Avery nodded his head slowly and looking at his brother with stain cheeks and pink eyes, "What if we do it and we can't have children or-or our mates decide they do not want the life we got then what. Is it worth then, to see our soul mates withers away or our children if they choose this life. Would it be worth it." Avery says looking between his father and his brother.
"Ok....what if we just change you?" Both sons looked at Magnus, " What do you mean? Doesn't that still make him immortal?" Cairo asked well Avery look at his father with hopeful eyes for a better way.
"Yes..." Avery looked sad and glanced to the side toward white dandelions, " but you can still be killed..." Cairo raised his eyebrows in surprise well Avery kept looking at the flower and still listening.
"How?"
"No one can live forever boys. Immortality keeps you from aging but you have to be the one to keep yourself alive. " they both glanced at him in question.
"When I was on a hunt with the pack we went farther out for food. Soon we stumbled onto a camp and crossed pathed with these men and women in furs who we didn't know where they come from."
Magnus leaning on a tree looked like he was being pulled back into the past when he spoke.
"They were speaking to each other with this odd language. We couldn't understand what they were saying but their body language. That we understood so we ready our to fight and we fought and fought. "
"Until the last of them were dead. We had cuts and bruises but they were healing before we knew it. We looked around their camp for supplies and food."
Magnus looked grim when he kept speaking.
"Me and two of my scouts' brothers Bes and Bassel went a little deeper in the woods to see if there were any more of them. After a couple of minutes of looking, we came up short. So well making our way back, two large bearded men jumped out and one of them attack me with his ax. "
"When I was fighting I heard a yelling come from behind. The yelling distracted the men and I took chance grabbed my sword and slit his throat. When I looked towards the Bes and Bassel...."
Magnus had to stop and take a breather, he felt a hand on his shoulder and looked up to see his Cairo and Avery near looking at him with concern.
"Bes laid dead on the floor of the woods with an ax in his head. Well, his brother Bassel was laid a couple of feet away from us with the large men hovering over his decapitated body.....his head in the hand of that beast. "
Magnus rubbed his eyes and face to try to block out images.
"The men turned towards me and smiled face painted with there blood. My angry took over and my beast wanted to come out.....so I let it out...uh...I howled at the moon and the pack came and together we tore him apart. "
Magnus shook his head leaving the long-ago memory in the past not wanting it to affect him now.
"After that, it took us a couple of days to come down off the blood rush. For the first time of being a Lycan we experienced something that we hope we never to experience again....bloodlust,"
Magnus learn off the tree and put his arms around his sons shoulder and started walking back towards their home.
"What happened was one of two hardest ways of founding out that you are not inevitable to death my sons,"
"What's the second?"
"Founding out by holding the cold body of a loved one" he says as they keep walking, "Ave if you don't want to be immortal.....It's fine as much as it hurts we will understand and we will still be there for you, "
Magnus stopped in front of the boys and looked,Avery looked at his brother nodded his head in agreement, " Thank you, papa" he nodded towards his father.
"Now let's get back before your mother have all our heads heads. We still have a party to celebrate" he says smiling at both sons making themselves towards the village.
Not knowing themselves that they are being watch.
It was nightfall when the boys made it back to the village. Well walking Magnus and the boys notice there wasn't a soul in sight. They stopped in their tracks, the boys looked at there surroundings well Magnus tried to listen. There heartbeats.
"That's a good sign," Magnus thought to make his way to his house having the boys following behind. He looked inside and didn't see Aisha and the kids.
"Where is everybody?" Cairo asked making his way out of the house with his brother and father following behind him.
"No idea," Magnus says waving his hands to tell his sons to follow him. They make their way towards the town square, nearing closer they saw banners around the square and tables scattered around.
When the boys stood in the middle near the well, sudden the candles were lit.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAI AND AVERY" shouted they, villagers, as they come out of hiding. The boys looked around in awe at the decoration and at their long time friends. Magnus looked around for his wife until he saw her with the help of one of her friends being out the cake for the boys.
Aisha and the girls sat the five-layer cake on the table in front of Cairo and Avery. Magnus made his way towards his wife and whispered, "You couldn't have warned me"
Aisha smiled and looked up at her husband gazing eyes, "What's the fun in that" she winks and turns towards the boys who were shaking hands and hugging their friends and neighbors.
"Okay time to blow out the candles and make a wish." Both boys closed their eyes and blow out their candles. Everybody cheered and clapped, Aisha, cut the left side of the cake and gave it to Cairo and then cut the right side of the cake to give it to Avery.
Both boys took a bite out of the piece of cake and their eyes widen and smiled wide, "Chocolate" "Vanilla" says Avery digging back in chocolate delight well Cairo was licking his spoon and plate clean.
Everybody gathered around and Aisha with the help of Magnus and her friends serve the people some cake and mead. Everybody started to spread out and enjoy their night, the boys lean against the wall, surrounded by their friends eating and talking. Music begins so did the dancing.
After an hour drunk people were singing and laughing. The kids were running and playing well their parents watch them as others talk to their neighbors. Soon enough mothers and fathers started gathering their children for bed. As was wives.
Aisha's friend Gwen help the young twins to bed well Aisha stood behind with the twins, Marcie, and, Magnus to clear the town square, " Okay we just finish this in the morning," Aisha says looking towards her family. They all nodded their head and was about to make there way back when.
"My My My...." says the mysterious man walking up to the group. He looks at the family one by one first Kai then Avery then Magnus. He stares at Marcella for a little while before turning his white eyes towards Aisha.
"What a cute little family you got here," the man said again walking little more toward them. Magnus grabbed Marcella's shoulder and put her behind him.
"Oh, My God...Gavin" Aisha walked up slowly towards him only a couple of feet between them, " In the flesh baby" he smirked winking at her, Magnus snarled eyes turning red.
Gavin looked towards Magnus with a smile and gave a little wave, " Hello Maggie long time no see. "
Magnus rolled his eyes at the nickname that was put upon by his rival, "Gavin." He deadpanned glaring at him.
Magnus looked towards his sons, "Boys why don't you take your sister home" the twins looked at the men and back at their parents and nodded, "Come on, M" Avery says grabbing her hand walking back with Cairo right behind them.
Marcella looked back at the stranger with curiosity, Gavin waved goodbye to her and she returned it.
When the kids were far away and out of ear shoot Aisha spoke again.
"Gavin.." Aisha says trying to bring his attention back to her, "What are you doing here?–" She asked confused
"Better yet how did you find us?" Cutting his wife off, "Well Mags after you attacked and butcher my men back home. I just thought we should have a little talk, but when I got to your kingdom you two were nowhere to be found. So I-" he says walking towards a table near him and taking a seat on it.
"I'm gonna stop you right there. I didn't attack your men attack us and they rode into my territory where my pregnant mate and a small child was along with some of our villagers. " he says
Gavin stared at Magnus for a little before going back to what he was saying, " I asked around and someone finally told me that the Prince and his wife made their way somewhere around the Black Sea." He says putting his feet on the table.
"So we voyage until we stopped in Greece that was over 2 years ago and we came across this group of witch," he says smiling, which made Aisha for some reason uneasy.
"So I overheard these witches talking about a very powerful witch. Who killed her husband and his whore one night and fleeted. "
Aisha grins a little.
"So I ask around more and came up empty again until a friend of the mystery witch came heard I was looking for someone. She mentioned how another witch helped her friend get the spell she needed for immortality and told me where to find her. "
"So here I am," he says putting his hands up and looking at the both of them.
"Your eyes...How did they get like that?" Aisha asked wearily walking up to him and taking a seat across from him
"Gavin face turned grim, "Well still in Greece looking for you..." he looked Aisha in the eyes which sent chills down her spine, " I came across this werewolf, thinking he was part of your pack I intervened ."
"I distracted him long enough for the forks to get away and he lunges at me luckily was quicker than him. Got my weapon out and took his head clean off...." he said smirking
"When I was about to take it someplace else to get rid of it. Another came out catching me off guard and scratched my arm..." he says rolling up his sleeve for them to see the shading scar, Aisha gasps grabbing his arm to inspect it closely taking in the mark.
"What happened next?" Magnus asks feeling a little jealous at the sight in front of him.
"I killed him and burned the bodies then made my way back to my men and slept it off" Aisha looked up from his arm slowly watching his facial expression, " when I woke up the next morning I was covered in the blood of my men," he says glancing at Magnus then Aisha.
Aisha let go of Gavin's arm and looked at him with sadness, " Oh Gavin I'm so sorry..." she put her hand over her mouth.
"Don't worry I got my revenge" he smiled looking at her, Aisha looked taken back when she heard a screaming.
Magnus ran to the sound, Aisha was about to follow behind her husband until Gavin hand catch her wrist tightly. She hissed in pain and looked at him confused.
"Let's go somewhere private..." Aisha was about to say a spell when Gavin pulled her across the table putting his other hand around her mouth, "One word that comes out that pretty little mouth of yours....they all dead. Do you understand?" He said the last part in her ear, she nodded quickly and he pulled his hand away from her.
He put up along with her and start pulling her towards the woods, " Gavin....please why are doing this.." she stumbled in the dark forest with Gavin pulling at her like a ragged doll.
He laugh as he kept pulling her deeper and deeper into the forest until they came to a clearing, he pushed Aisha to the nearest tree pinning her against it with his body.
"Why? Because I can...Because you made me this way" he looked into her brown eyes and before she can react, he bite into the side of her neck drawing whole lot of blood.
Aisha screamed in agony as she tried to shove Gavin away from her, she punched at his chest but to no avail. He finally let go of her and took a step back his mouth and chin covered in her blood.
She slide down the tree onto the ground feeling dizzy, she looked like she was on the verge of passing out. When Gavin scotched down in front of her and grabbed her cheeks.
"Now Now don't go passing out on me just yet. The fun hasn't even started. " he grin grabbing her ankle and dragging her into a laying position. Before he can have his way with her, Magnus grabbed him by a chock-hold and flung him against a tree.
Magnus came to Aisha side quick to check she was still alive. She had a pulse but barely, Magnus turned his attention back on Gavin who was shifting into his werewolf form. Magnus following suit.
Magnus and Gavin ran towards each other with full force. Both rolling around the ground biting and clawing at each other. Magnus was on his back his arms and leg pinned down by Gavin.
Gavin was raising his arms to go for a kill when his blood started to feel like it was on fire. Howling in pain Gavin started to back off of Magnus, rolling moving around the forest floor he turned back to human and glanced at Aisha as she whispered to herself.
Magnus (still in his wolf form) turned Gavin around facing him and grabbed his neck lifting him up him off the ground and then slamming him back down to the floor multiplied times. Magnus snarled throwing Gavin across the cold forest floor, stalking his way toward Gavin.
Gavin started making this odd sound like laughing with a mixture of chocking on his own blood. Magnus hovered over him well he still laugh, he lunged for Gavin neck and ripped it out.
All the while Magnus was multilaterally Gavin body, Aisha sat on the ground with her eyes closed. She felt cold hand on her under her legs and back, she looked up at her husband carrying her back to the village.
When they reach the village there were bodies everywhere some she knew other she didn't. It look like a battlefield took place in their safe haven.
Magnus brought them back to their house sitting her down in the table, Magnus left to get some clothes and water. Aisha looked around the house still feeling dizzy from the bite and notice it was very quiet. Too quite.
She looked around the house and notice that Avery and Cairo doors were closed. For some reason Aisha found that odd, so she got up slowly and made her way to the boys door before she can put her hand in the knob. Magnus grabbed her hand gently and she looked at him oddly.
"Come sit down and let me have a look at that" he says pointing at her bite and trying to lead her away from the door.
"I want to check in the kids first.." she says trying to move Magnus out of her way, "Magnus. Move! Now" she used the little energy she had to cast a pain inflicted on him to move out of the way.
Groaning, "Aisha. Don't!" When she made it in the room her heart stopped and sudden her body went cold. Laying in their bed were their sweet children, Avery along with Marienna laid in bed with scratched marks on their left and right arms well Cairo had a bite mark on his left arm. Aisha looked turned around and bolted to the twins room to find them them in bed laid with their arms crossing. She moved closer and saw one bite on each of their arms.
Aisha backed out of the room and moved past Magnus who sat on the floor in his oldest door way. He watch as Aisha walked out of the house, she walked three steps before screaming and collapsing on the ground holding herself as the earth quake under her feet. She cried and cursed until her voice was raw, Magnus just stared at her as she fell apart.
Aisha dug her hands into the soil of the earth and something in her snapped. She looked up toward the starry sky and back down to the dirt in her hands. She got and went into the house slamming the front door behind her and sat at the table.
"Where is everybody else's"
"I told them to make their way to the hideout near the river."
"How many did we lose" Magnus rubbed his face and looked towards his wife, " About 30 people maybe more. I can't tell their were a lot of limbs all over the place."
They didn't say nothing for a bit, "Did... did the die in pain?" She looked at her husband with blood shot eyes, "yes." he whispered head against the hard wood.
Aisha grimly looked around the house and saw her book near the stove, " We should...uh we should go get the others...and start planning the burials" he said getting up off the floor and walking to the door, Aisha kept staring at her book.
"Aisha did you hear me?"
"Yeah..yeah heard you...um do you think you can go alone I just... I just need a minute or two" Magnus walked up to his wife kissed her head and nodded
"Okay take as much time that you need Asa" walking back towards the door, Aisha stops him, "wait!..."
"Yeah?"
"Do you think you can not tell them about the children....not just yet I...I think we need some more time to grieve without being bothered y'know" she says looking at him
"Yeah... of coarse" he says walking out of the house, Aisha waited a few more minutes for grabbing her book and getting to work.
It’s been two months since the attack on the village, the people were still grieving the loss of loved ones and friends. The days haven’t been kind to either Magnus or Aisha, having to bury their children put a strain on their marriage.
Aisha spent some of her days in Avery and Cairo’s room or Marcella’s bedroom, but she never steps foot in Luka and Yasmine every time she walks past the room her body freezes and chills run down her spine. Magnus on the other hand barely spend time at home he would be in woods mostly. Both Magnus and Aisha haven’t spoken a word to each other since the funeral. If they did it would be spent arguing with each other about the kids.
Aisha has been coop up in the children’s room for days working on her new elixir, day and night trying to perfect the spell.
One day well working in the kitchen surrounded by her herbs and spellbook, Magnus walked into the house after spending time hunting when he saw his wife hunch over her book with her hand rubbing her temple. Aisha look up when she heard the door closed, both Magnus and Aisha starred at each other for a well before Aisha straighten up and went back to reading the book in her hand.
Magnus sighed and walked behind Aisha, he put his hands on her hips and his head on her shoulder. He slides his hand from her hips to her hands and put the book down.
“I was reading that you know?” She says swaying along with him, her head on his chest. He chuckled and turn her around so he can have a good look at her, he gave her a small smiled. She returns the gesture and wrapped her arms around his neck and breathing in his scent. For comfort.
I miss this so much. His arms around me like a blanket. His scent. He smelled of Wood....and grass....and dirt....and....and...roses and peaches?
Aisha looked with disappointment and disgust and pushes Magnus away, she grabbed her book trying to put as much distance between them as possible. She makes her way to their bedroom.
“What just happened?” Magnus asks her when he walked in, closing the door behind him.
Aisha rolled her eyes and kept reading and writing down notes in her book. Magnus walked up to the bed and sat down in front of her. He grabs her hand but she snatched it away from him as if it was a hot plate.
“Aisha...talk to me...please” he begged to look at her, “ Don’t shut me out again...Aisha please...” she didn’t say anything just kept looking at her book.
He got up off the bed and walk towards her side and kissed her head. He walked out the room towards the front door and opening it halfway out he heard her.
“Wait...” Magnus turned around and watched as Aisha made her way towards him, she put her hand on his chest over his heart felling it beat against her hand. She looked him in the eye and learn in towards his face, she passed his lips and went toward his ear and whispered.
“Next time you cheat, make sure you hide it better,” she says looking at his shocked face, catching him off guard Aisha kneed Magnus in the family jewels. He hunched over grabbing his marbles, as she shoved him out the door landing on his back still holding his pearls she slammed the door shut and locked it.
She went to grab her book and get back to her spells. After Magnus recover from the blow his wife gave him, he starts knocking on the door.
“Aisha I’m sorry just can you please just open the door. Let’s talk about this” Aisha breathe heavily and shook her head trying to ignore her cheating husband.
“I know I screwed up but you have to understand she meant nothing to me” he shouted through the door, “Aisha!” He bangs on the door harder. She rolled her heads and scoffed at what he just said, meant nothing? Is that supposed to make me feel better? Fuckin hell.
Aisha slammed her book shut can’t concentrate on her spells with her husband banging on the door like a maniac.
“Just go away Mag. I’m pretty sure your whore is getting a little alone without you” she says pacing the floor well pulling at her hair, “ I’m not going anyway until we talk about this” he says banging on the door backing it move a bit.
“I can’t do this anymore,” she says tears peaking from her eyelids, well rubbing her face and resting them on her cheeks. Magnus stopped banging for a minute to hear if he heard her correctly. He waited for a while to hear anything but nothing caught his ear.
“Aisha?...”
“....”
“Aisha?” There was some movement then suddenly shattering of glass and things getting knocked over fulled Magnus ears. He bursts through the door to see the clatter. The table was flipped over along with bowel, plates, spoon, and forks where scattered around the house. He looked at the mess surprised, he made it completely inside when he finally saw Aisha sitting near the fireplace with her hands on her face.
He started walking towards her taking in her appearance. Her hair disheveled and hunched over the body.
“Aisha...” he takes two more steps towards her, “Ash...baby..are you-“ he touched her shoulder and got flung back towards the wall. He groans in pain and struggles to get off the wall.
“Aisha...?” She stands up and turns towards her husband. Her eyes black as the night sky and red and grey ombré hair. She talks toward her husband slowly, watching him carefully.
“Not Aisha,” she says coming to a stop in front of him and raking her hand up and down his chest, “ On the hand, maybe I have some fun with you. “ she whispered in his ear smiling.
Magnus closed his eyes and shudder when she breathes hit his ear, shaking his head to focus he looked at the women again, “Who are you? What did you do to my wife” he says
“Tsk tsk tsk...” she shakes her finger in front of him, “ All your question would be answered soon enough darling but first... ” she says snapping her fingers making Magnus land in his feet. Magnus looked at her worriedly and watch her walk to the other side of the room.
“Let’s eat because I am starving” she flipping her hand towards the mess that Aisha made and everything went back the way they were before. She went to the bottom cabinet and grabbed some cheese and grapes from and wrapped up cloth, she then went to sit at the head of the table with the food in front of her.
“Are gonna stand there like a statue or are you gonna take a seat...” she raised her eyebrow, he looked hesitant, “ I promise I won’t bite unless...” she stares at him her tongue running over her teeth and grinning, “ ...you like that sort of thing and then we can talk?” She winks at him as she digs in her food. Magnus walked towards the seat across from her and watch her curiously.
“Didn’t mommy ever tell you it’s not nice to stare” she looks up popping at green grape along with cheese in her mouth.
“Well sorry I’m a bit tad confuse why my wife's body is getting taken over by a....” he replies sarcastically with an eye roll hoping she would explain what she is.
She giggled and cover her mouth, “funny and handsome my type of man” she stares deeply in his eyes. He looked away from her, trying not to be hypnotized by his wife's brown eyes.
She sighs and wipes her hand on her skirt, clearly her throat to catch his attention again, “Your no fun and to answer your question. My name is Mara and your wife...well I sadly say she didn’t make it. “ she raised her bloody wrists to show Magnus two large vertical lines on both arms. On the outside, he looked sorrowful but on the inside, he was seething angry at himself for what he did to her but also angry at her for leaving him alone.
“On the plus side she’s doing a great duty of being my meat suit,” she says looking at him chill face waiting for his reaction.
For a minute Mara though he didn’t hear her, “ um hello anyone in their scary demon lady sitting here” she says waving her hand in his face and to no avail, he looked grim at the table.
“Fine. You wanna be like that I guess you don’t want to hear the deal I’m offering” she says folding her hands and looking away from him.
“Deal?” She smirked and looked back at him with his eyes reddened. She shook her head with a smile, and got from her seat and seductively walk towards him when she got in front of him she straddles him. Magnus stares at her eyes widened as he looks at her.
“Yes, A deal....” her arms wrapped around his neck as she leans against the table, “ Let me guess I gave you my soul to damn to hell and you what give me diamonds and gold?” He sarcastically says with squinted eyes and raised eyebrow waiting for her response.
She grin, “No but I can give you back your family....” putting her hand in his hair and massaging his scalp, “ For the price of a child” she whispered in his ear he grabbed her hand from his hair and stood up making her stumble a little as he tries to put some distance between the two of them.
He looks at the fireplace that Aisha seat minutes before and saw the small amount of blood still there. He closed his eyes hoping this was all a nightmare, he turned towards the demon and thought of the offer.
“Come on Agnus this is a deal of a lifetime. Not many people can eat their pie and have their cake too or whatever the hell you humans like to say.” She leaning against the table looking at her nails.
“So...if I give you a-a baby you give me my family back?” He says looking at her with hope in his eyes, “Yelp all you need to do is...” she grabbed his hips and pulled him towards the table, ” Put a baby in me” he backed up again making her roll her eyes, “ You didn’t say anything about impregnating you” he runs his hands through his hair pulling at his scalp feeling conflicted about this whole ideal.
“ Well of course silly what you think I meant” he looked anywhere but her feeling shitty for even thinking about that, “Wait...you..you didn’t think I want you to.... oh this good” she throws her head back laughing.
“I always knew there was this darkness inside of you..” he looked at her angrily, “ this gonna be one hell of a kid” she smirked chuckling to herself, she hops top of the table and swung her legs waiting for him, “Tick Tock those kids of yours aren’t getting any younger...” she giggled
“Shut up” looked at the ceiling wishing this was over, “Sorry that’s was rude I meant to say their probably decomposing in the ground as we speak.” He gave her a warning looked, “ I wonder what came first the maggots or the worm-“ Magnus wrapped his hand around her throat his eyes crimson red, Mara just laughed, “ See there goes that darkness again and bloodlust. I wonder if your wife knows what you been doing in woods as of late part from the cheating anyway” he squeezed tighter, for a second she looked in pain.
Magnus looked at her and suddenly his wife smiled flash in his mind causing him to release Mara from his iron grip. She started coughing as he steps away little to give her some space. She rubbed her throat looking at him annoyed, “Uhm so what it gonna be Agnus. Are we gonna do this or what”
“I don’t know about you but I’m not really keen on fucking my dead wife body.” He says looking at her with disgust, “Well I can fix that..” he watches as the two cuts are slowly healing, after a couple of seconds the only thing left on her arms is scars. He ran his thumb over the scars feeling angry all over again.
“Okay, so how does this work, do I shake her hand or something?” He grumbled, she stood up and getting closer to him.
“Some do but not me. I like to seal the deal with a kiss” she said seductively, he looked at her for a minute and kissed.
They parted slightly, allowing each other tongue to slip inside. Mara's hand went to his braccae rubbing his hard cock.
Magnus groans as he moves his hands to her dress unlacing her it and having them pool around her feet. He picks her up, her legs going around his waist well their tongues explore each other mouth.
He carries her to the bedroom, laying her on the bed he removed his braccae. She sat up on her elbows and smirk. Before any snarky comments can pass her lips, he plunged two fingers in her wet pussy and his thumb rubbing her clit.
Magnus spreading her legs even more with his warm hands, he gently nibbled the soft interior of her neck. Licking and kissing his way to her wet pussy.
Feeling herself close, he took his fingers away and stopped. Whimpering her hand goes to his hair pulling it gently hoping he would continue, his tongue swirling all over her folds and sucking on her clit, earning a loud moan from her.
He grabs her thighs pulling them closer to his face, feeling her orgasm approaching fast his hands plays with her clit. Seconds later she release all over his face, her toes curl, back arches, and her eyes roll back.
Standing up he lines himself up with her entrance, slowly moving his hips. He collapses onto her body, his headrests in the crook of your neck, kissing and breathing heavily as he thrusts into her slowly. His full size inside of her.
She lifts his head from your neck, wrapping your arms around him loosely. He leans down to kiss her as he continues to push her to her orgasm.
As his face is inches from hers, she leans closer, pressing her lips to his and whisper “make me cum Magnus ” he picks his pace up from gentle and slow to downright inhumane.
Her moans get louder and mix with his. The sound of their skin slapping together fills the room and she knows for a fact that the neighbors can hear their lovemaking.
“Oh shit Magnus, just like that. Oh my god,” she cries out as she releases, her pussy clench around his cock, earning a loud grunt from him.
He starts twitching so she clenches down again and soon enough she feels his cum spill inside of her, filling her up.
He hovers above her, panting with sweat droplets on his forehead. She isn’t much better either. He pulls out, falling to the spot on the bed next to her.
After a couple of minutes, Magnus heard soft snoring and looked at the body next to him. Grabbing the cover he put it over them, Aisha(Mara) snuggle up against him. He put his arm around her, holding her close as if she disappeared.
After an hour of hearing her snore softy, Magnus drifted off to sleep.
“Goodnight Aisha”
The next morning, Magnus woke up to the smell of food and an empty bed. He looked around the room for his clothes, after putting his pants on. He walked out of the bedroom towards the kitchen, he saw his wife placing food on a plate.
When she turned around to set the plate next to hers, her belly was swelled. Magnus looked wide-eyed at his wife's body, "...Aisha?" He says baffled walking closer to the table.
She looked up from what she was doing and smiled, he smiled back and rushed toward her to hug her. He held her tight in his arms, he slowly pulled away and looked down at her belly and rubbed it.
"I missed you so much" he cried resting his head on hers, he moved his face towards her neck and inhale her scent.
"I miss you too...Agnus"
Magnus pulled away in horror, looking at Aisha's decaying face, " What's wrong my love?" she mocked her eyes turning pitch black and she smiled showing her bloody teeth.
Magnus kept backing up until he trip over his own feet and landed on his back. He scattered up and ran towards the door, the door wouldn't budge.
He started banging on the door for some to help, Aisha started laughing and the louder the banging got the louder Aisha laugh. He shut his eyes and covered his ears trying to block out the laughing. Magnus begin whispered "stop it" over and over, rocking back and forth until.
Magnus sat up in bed covered in sweat, breathing hard. He looked around the room and say it was the afternoon and he looked to the left and saw the bed empty. Slowly he put on his braccae and walked out of the room, he saw Aisha sitting at the table eating food she just made. She looks up and smiled, "Well hello sweetheart, how did you sleep?" Taking a bite from her bread covered in honey.
"Uhhh...okay I guess..." he stammered uneasy looking at her scared, he sat down slowly across from her. He watched her eat her food well reading the grimoire, " there's food in the pot if you want some" she offered not looking up from his book.
He grunts looking around, Aisha finally looks up from her book, " Hey!.." she huffed looking at him in shock when he jumped, " Are you okay? You seem a little... skittish" starring at him in question.
He rubbed his face and looked at Aisha with a sad look, " Don't act as you care... " he says frustrated, she frowned and got up from her seat.
Standing up, Magnus can see her swelled belly well she waddles her way towards him. She put her hand over the belly and lean on the table next to Magnus, "I do care Mag. Why wouldn't I care?" she says sincerely, her hand reaches to massage his scalp when he grabbed her.
He shook his head, "I did what you ask of me, Mara. I want my wife's back and my children. I gave you what you wanted." he demanded starring her down, tighten his grip on her wrist.
She hissed in pain, " Mags you're hurting me," trying to pull her arm away, " What I thought you like a little pain?" He says sarcastically. Without thinking, Aisha raised her hand and smacked Magnus across the face, catching him off guard he releases his grip on her.
She rubs her wrist and looked at Magnus with fury, " Are you out of your mind? Have you finally gone insane? God! What is the matter with you! I swear-"she gasps between his lips as he kissed her passionately, pulling away to breathe he held her tight.
"I missed you, so much. I was lost without you. " he cried happily kissing her all over her face, as he held her in silence he remembered why felt so lost in the first place.
He stiff and pulled away and gave her a stern look, "You left me" he says monotone, she looked taken back at his mood change and realized that she was in the wrong after the stunt she pulled, "and you cheated on me" she says nonchalantly pulling out of the embrace, with her head heel high.
"Are you serious! You left me! Alone! With that thing! You were gone. For the first time since we meet I didn't know what to do. " he yelled breathing heavily
"I know I'm sorry. I failed as a mother, I was supposed to protect them but I couldn't. I was so tired of waking up and not seeing them and I just-" she murmured trying to cover up a sob, " I felt so numb Magnus...I couldn't breathe, it felt like I was drowning." She bites her lip and looked down, "it was a spur of a moment, I wasn't thinking straight. I'm sorry that I did that to you. " she sobbed in his arms.
"I'm so sorry" she bawled, he held her close he rested his head on her head and rubbed circles on her back.
"You right you did fail them... But so did I.." he pulled away looking at her, " I did some unforgiving and unthinkable things that I'm not proud of, " he looked deep in her eyes, " and that's my burden to carry..." he says sadly
"Magnus.." She says shocked, her eyes wide and red
He continued "We both failed them and that's our burden, but maybe we can do better with this one...together," he rubbed her belly tenderly.
She hugged him as much as she could with her big belly, she wrapped her arms around his neck. They stood in silence for moments until Aisha spoke up.
"So... Mara?" she stated with head on his chest listening to his heartbeat, he gulped "what?"
She turned her head upwards in a weird angle to look at him, "You called me Mara earlier." she replied
"She's not important," he says grabbing her hand and leading them to their bedroom, she stopped and went back for her book and tangle her hands with Magnus. She sat on her side of the bed and waited for her husband to join her.
Well, Magnus laid his head on her lap, Aisha went back to her book. He looked at her face as she read and wrote side notes.
"I always wonder..." he starts as he stares towards her, she hummed, " why have been burying yourself in your book nowadays"
She looked at him trying to see if you should tell him or not, "I tell you.....unless you tell me about Mara" she says looking back at her book with concentration.
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you."
"Well I'm gonna go on a hunch and say that she may be the reason why I woke up 27 weeks pregnant..." she says looking at him blithely, He looked at her glazed, "Try Me. " putting her full attention on him.
Hopeless he replied, " she's a demon that promises to bring you and the kids back, for the price of a child." He said quickly looking at her with pity, slack-jawed she stared at him for a moment, "she also possessed your body if that wasn't cleared enough on why your pregnant" he added
She sucked her teeth, " that bitch" she looked to the side and muttered with a scowl. Magnus looked at her puzzled, "what?" She looked at him and sigh.
"The demon Mara, I..um...I kinda know her" she says high-strung looking at her husband.
"How?" He asked suspiciously his eyes fixed on her.
"She's my twin sister" she blurted looking at him scared that she didn't tell him about her twin. He blinked at her couple of times before sitting up straight, he was about to open his mouth but shut and stood up off the bed. He faced away from her.
"I would understand if you never wanted to talk about your mother. Your father you barely knew him so there not much to talk about. But your sister I don't understand why you didn't tell me about her......" he faced her, arm crossed looking tensely at her.
"I didn't think it was that big of a deal...." she says
"What! You think not telling me your twin sister a demon I may add is not a big deal?"
"I don't know it been forever since I talked about her to anyone, and ever since she left I wasn't allowed to talk about her that much..."
"Then tell me, you said our marriage is built on communication and trust. So tell me. "
She hesitated and looked at him for a moment, " My mother couldn't bear children, no healer nor her magic couldn't have helped her, so she spent day n night working on spells to help others. So they wouldn't feel the pain she had to face..."
"One day after finishing up with one of her patients, she was approached by an unusual man offering her a deal. She took it and 9 months later, me and my sister were born. When we were 10 our village came infested with a sickness, half the village was sick Tamara included..."
"Two weeks past she was getting worst, the mysterious man return offering another deal but this time it came with a price. He heals her but he has to take her away to be his apprentice. She agreed and that the last time I saw my sister. "
Her eyes were teary finally feeling like a weight have been lifted, he took a seat next to her and gave her arm a squeeze.
He apologizes, "I'm sorry"
"It okay. It's not like it in the past, I rather looked towards the future for now on...," she giggled sadly
Magnus put his chin on his fist, " Your right, I think the kids would want us to move on and have peace..." he sighs
He chuckled, "What?" She smiled at him, " it's nothing just something Avery said.."
"What he say?" she yawned getting in a laying position, " he told me that immortality was overrated.." he smiled sadly at the memory
"At least whatever they are their safe and together, " he added
"Promise me"
She looked at him confused, he glanced at her, " your sister promised she bring them back obviously she lied, so now I want them to be at peace. No matter what even if you find a way to bring them back...don't... it time to move on, "
She sat up and glared at him, " you can't ask me to do that Magnus, you know you can't " she hissed
"I know, I know, but Aisha I know it hasn't been a long time, but the world is slowly changing if we know it or not and the last thing I want is to wait years for you to bring them back just for them to be thrust into a new world they have no idea about.." he shot glancing at her
" I-I also want to start over..." he says grabbing her hands, "a few weeks ago I heard some of the villagers say they were heading north, well the others south. Maybe we can go our own way when the baby is born..." she pulled her hands away and crossed her arms
"Now you want to leave home..." he rolled his eye, "we have nothing here"
"We have our children! Listen I have been doing some reading in my book and I actually think I can- " she snapped
"Aisha! Looked at me!..." he grabbed her shoulders, " I want to live a normal life with you...with our baby, "
"We can still do that-"
"No, I want to live a normal life without the witchcraft or without aging or worrying about the full moon. I want us to be a normal family, "
"But-"
"No buts, I want our child to grow old and have a family and know what true love is..." he gazed at her softly, "he/she won't be able to do that if they're like us, "
"What? You want me to give up my powers..." she scoffed, " Magic has done nothing but ruin our life, " he replied
"That said magic saved your lives and plenty of others, "
"At what cost...losing another child over, there will always be monster out who we will cross path with, who would want to hurt us and our love ones, " he says harshly
"Is this really what you want...to live a normal life, " she asked gently, he nodded, " its time to move on my love, "
She nodded, " okay...I promise, "
"Good we can start packing in a few days..." he says as he smiled, " I promised you everything's going to be alright, " he says running his thumb across her cheek.
"I know it will my love, " she kissed him passionately, Magnus broke the kissed and got into bed and laid his head on Aisha's chest well his hand rest in her belly. He closed his eyes and listen to her heartbeat, she played in his hair.
"Who was she? " she asked curiously, " who was who?" he replied
"The women you cheated on me with..." she muttered, he tenses up, " Aisha-"
"I just want to know.... to put my mind at ease...I won't be mad, I swear.," she asks hesitated, scratching at his scalp.
"It-it was Audrey.." he gulped feeling her freeze in her motion, she gave a shaky breathe, "Okay.... how long have it been going on?" she whispered to herself and went back to rubbing his scalp.
"About a month, it started in mid September....Aisha I'm-" she cut him off, "I'm okay..." she lied, "it's in the past...it's time to look towards the future. " she use his words against him.
"Sleep...you must be tired, I know I am" she untangle herself from Magnus and laid on her side facing away from him. He didn't say anything, not wanting to start an argument Magnus laid on his back and tried to take a nap.
Aisha waited a bit for Magnus to fall asleep after 10 minutes she heard him snoring. She got out of bed and head towards the small kitchen, she went out the door after receiving her grimoire. As she was about to walk towards the back of their house towards the woods, she bumps into no other than Audrey.
"Woah! What got you in such a hurry bumblebee" Audrey says sweetly with a basket in hand looking, Aisha looked at Audrey up and down and grinned, " Oh! I was making my way into the woods for some peace and quiet, so I can read over some spells. " she says
"Oh! Wow..." Aisha watcher as Audrey faces morph into surprise at noticing her belly, "When did this happen? I didn't even know you and Magnus was trying for another one. " said rubbing Aisha belly
"Oh! This wasn't really planned...it just happened y'know" she told her
"Yeah I know what you mean" she mumbled, looking fondly at the belly
" Audrey are you ...are you pregnant?" Aisha asked shocked, Audrey smiled happily.
"Yeah....After Ezra death I thought It be good to get back out there you know, " she says sadly, Aisha gave her a apologetic smile, " How's Elias and Anais been?"
"They fine...Elias being the big brother he is been taking good care of us but Anais night terrors started back up, so she been calling his name in the middle of the night, " she sniffles wipes a tear away.
Aisha rubbed her shoulders, even through her best friend betrayed her trust, she still felt a bit of love for her.
"I'm sorry...you should get going I won't take up your time anymore, " she says making her way towards her house, "wait..," Aisha stopped her in her track, "are you busy? I'm in need of a assistance, " she grins
"Not really no, the kids are with my neighbors so I think I can spear a couple of hours..." Audrey smiled, walking towards Aisha and linking their arms, " just like the old days huh..." She continues as they both make their way into the woods.
"Yeah just like the old days" she smiles
As they make they way toward the forest, Aisha spoke up again, "I never ask how far along are you?"
"Oh along 3 weeks" she replied, as they get to the spot, Audrey made her way in the middle of the stone circle, " wow! I never seen this place before?"
"Yeah I find it, when me and Magnus got in a argument one day..." she watched Audrey closely as she looked amazed by the scenery before her.
"Oh! I'm sorry..." she said well looking at the tall stones, " how is he anyway?"
"He's good, we're thinking about moving East after the baby is born...". She narrowed her eyes at Audrey, she made her way towards her slowly.
"That's good...it's good to have a fresh start.." she smiled, looking back at Aisha and went back at gazing at the trees.
"Yeah...Magnus thinks moving away will solve all our problem..." she says, Audrey hummed, "....even the adultery" Audrey opened her eyes quickly and turn towards her long time friend, "What? He told you?"
"Yelp..." she says nonchalantly, " Why?" Aisha looked at her friend, "Why him? You could have any man but you choose him.." Audrey innocent look disappears, "There's no why to it. I just did, I was free from Ezra and he was sad so why not use that to my advantage, " she says mockingly
Aisha scoffs, "Even married to Ezra you were still unfaithful..." Audrey rolled her eyes, "....and a terrible mother"
"I wouldn't be a unfaithful wife and a terrible mother, if it wasn't for you!" She hissed, "Me!?! I didn't tell you to go cheat on your loving husband with any man that blinks toward you or get drunk in the early mornings of dawn and not being back to wake up until midnight! " she seethed
"You took him! From me! That what you did!"
"Who!" She shouted
"Gavin! You took him away from me, I loved him and he loved me, so much that I find him and told where I was. So we could be together but you had to ruin it." She seethed, glaring at Aisha with hatred, " he could have took me away, I wouldn't have to worry about my pathetic excuse of husband or those little bastard.."
"You told him where we were"
Audrey realized her mistake and started to stutter before Aisha could attack her, Audrey was hit across the head with a bark of wood. She laid unconscious as Aisha looked down upon her with no emotion.
"What a bitch..." Aisha looked up towards her sister, " i thought you witches were suppose to be more loving " she rolled her eyes.
"Tamara not the time.." she says , " do you got it. "
Mara nods her head and grabs Audrey ankle and dragged her in the center of the circle. Aisha with her book in her hand, walk towards the circle as well looking at her sister with a wicked grin.
"Let's get this over
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Couple hours later
Magnus jointed up from his sleep, he looked towards the window and saw it was night. He rubbed his eyes, feeling Aisha's side empty. He got up, going around the house to look for her, as he stepped outside his head started spinning. Holding his head in his head images made their way in his mind, he Aisha, a mysterious women, and rocks in circles.
After a second, the headache vanished and Magnus felt the urge to make his way into the forest. As he started walking he sees light and hear talking in the distance, as he grows closer he sees his wife and a women he never meet before standing around and talking. He gets closer sees theirs a women tied to a stone table well bodies lay around it on the grass.
"It's almost midnight..." Aisha says looking towards the bodies scattered around the ground. Magnus took gentle steps closer, he hide behind the large stone and finally saw the women tired down. He looked in horror when he saw Audrey gagged and tied to the table. He hide and try control his breathe, he peaked behind to see Aisha and the stranger back towards him.
He made steady steps to get to Audrey, stepping around the bodies that he sees are mummified. As he gets to the table, he looks down to Audrey to see her wide awake looking at Aisha. Magnus covers her mouth and told her to be quiet, as he untied the gag from her mouth. He went to work on her hands, as he was about to set her hands free he was flung back into a tree.
Before he could get off the tree chains wrapped around him, keeping him stuck to the tree, "Glad you can join us, Agnus" Mara says to smirking and giving him a wink. He angry fought against his restriction, he looked over at Aisha, "Aisha! Let me go and let's talk about this,"
"There's nothing to talk about..." she says not looking up from her book, Mara smiled viciously at Magnus.
"It's time sister!" Mara says looking eagerly, Aisha nods and look at Magnus one more time.
Mara grabs a dagger from her boot and start to cutting the linen clothe from the bodies. Magnus face grew sullen when he saw his children, Aisha put hand over her mouth to stop the sobbed. She shook her head and turn away, putting her hand over her heart trying to steady her breathing.
"Okay now that done..." she made her way towards the table and laid down her knife, " You got the ingredients?" Mara nodded her head.
Pulling out a bowel from her sack, Aisha started, "Okay, goat's eye..." Mara nodded, " Check.." squeezing the eye in the bowel.
"Lamb's heart...." Mara bleeding the heart into the bowel, "Check.."
"Flesh from the decease..." she threw pieces of flesh into the bowel, "Check.."
"Acontuim" after she put the plant in she starts grinding them together make this red milk substance, "Check.."
"Now our finally ingredient...human sacrifice.." Aisha and Mara look down at Audrey, "Check check check, " Mara smirk evilly.
"Aisha! This isn't you don't do this.." Magnus begged
"Please Aisha I'm sorry please I'm begging you don't do this..." Audrey cried, looking at Aisha with a tear stain face, " please your my best friend don't do this..."
Mara and Aisha rolled their eyes in unison, ignoring her pleas for help. Mara started pouring the substance in Cairo, Avery, Marcella, and twins mouth. Aisha looked up at the sky and saw the harvest moon shinning bright upon them.
"The moon is out, we start the sacrifice.." Aisha says to her sister, Audrey started sobbing, " please don't do this...wait! Please don't.." Aisha and Mara held their daggers upon her before they can finish this Magnus spoke up.
"What of her children..." he spoke, staring at his wife with pleading eyes, " what will happened to them hmm? If you do this you will make them orphans, do you want that on your conscience"
"They be better off.."
"How would you know?"
Aisha was going to respond, when she got cut off by her sister, " oh believe me lover boy, they are definitely better off without this trollop in the their life.." Mara says laughing.
"I mean, the things this girl did behind close doors..." she whistle, Magnus and Aisha looked at peeved at her, "You will make a great addition in hell sweetheart.." she says wolfish
Audrey looked alarm when she said the last part, " oh don't be surprise, I mean did you really think cheating, lying, killing, and child neglect was going to give you straight to heaven, " Mara giggled as she watch the crocodile tears come flowing down Audrey eyes.
Aisha looked at Magnus with deadpanned looked, " does that answer your question.." she brought her dagger over Audrey's heart when she was stopped once again, " wait-wait my-my baby my baby would you sink that low bumblebee" she shouted when Aisha's dagger landed in her leg.
"You not pregnant Addy, you never will be..." she looked into Audrey eyes as they looked surprised, " What? Did you really think I didn't know about the coneflower tea you been taking after Anais birth..." she twist her dagger causing Audrey to cry and pulled out.
"You know sister..." Mara looked up to Aisha, " why don't I just get her firm and ready for the underworld hmmm.." she says digging her knife into Audrey abdomen, Aisha looked at the moon then her sister and back at Audrey. " You got 6 mins.." she step around the table near sister, "make it count.." Mara smiled big and went to work.
As Audrey scream in agony, Aisha crouched down near Cairo and Avery looking at them fondly, she saw movement in the corner of her eye. She got up and sat on her knees on the side of Marienna, she heard her groan. Shocked she got closer looking behind her, Magnus had his eyes shut and her sister was leaning over Audrey.
"Hey hey hey Marcy baby..." she whispered rubbing her face with her hands gently, looking at her baby girl with love. Marienna opened her eyes and saw her mother looking at her, Aisha eyes tear up when she sees her daughter smile at her.
"Oh my baby!" She exclaimed kissing Marienna all over her face, "oh How I missed you I missed you so much, " she held her tightly, Marienna looked at her surroundings and saw her dad looking at her doleful.
"Mama?.." Marienna pulls back looking at her mother with a eyebrow raised. Aisha looked back at Magnus and sigh, "oh my baby, " she cried, kissing her forehead.
Aisha got up and went to get one of the many clothes she brought and gave it to Marcella, she help her put it on and helped her stand up.
"Ma who is that.." she motion her head to the Mara wiping off her blade on her dress, "... what's happening.." Marienna asked confused
"I tell you everything when your brothers and sister wake up, okay, " Aisha grabbed both of Marcella cheeks in her hands and smiled, she return the smiled and whispered, "okay..."
Marienna smiled drop and her face morph into one of pain, " baby what wrong!" Aisha ask worried, looking towards her sister answers, Mara look bewildered and shrugged.
"My stomach hurt..." Marienna says, she clenched her stomach and vomit blood, her chin and lips are covered in blood, "mama what's happening to me..."
Marienna groans falling to the ground in pain, hunched over she dug her hands into the ground.
Her bones start to break under her skin, she howled in pain as she looks at her father, " Papa make it stop please..." he watched as her eyes turned black and glowed purple.
"Mara get me outta these chains, " he shouted towards the stunned sister, she apply and wave her hand towards him.
He fell onto his feet and ran towards Marienna, whispered, " it's okay sweetheart, don't fight it just let out.." he kissed her forehead as she rocked her self back and forth.
Marienna howled, she moved away from her parents quickly. She stood to the side a good distance away from her mom and dad, leaning on one of the stones.
"Aisha we have to finish the ritual, " Mara says grabbing her arm gently, Magnus looked angry at Mara.
"Would you stop you don't need to continue the sacrifice anymore, "
"If you can't tell by now Agnus your other children aren't really walking and breathing are they...." she glared at him, Aisha rolled her eyes at their bickering and kept her attention on her daughter.
Aisha couldn't take it no more and turn to her husband and sister, " would you both shut the hell up, your scary her..." she yelled, pointing at her daughter. Marienna still in pained looked at her parents surprised.
As Marienna watched her mother talk some sense into her father and long lost aunt. She couldn't ignore what Mara said earlier, she looked to the women on the table and saw her bloody and beaten.
She look at the group then at the women, a sudden urge to kill rush through her veins.
She walked towards the women as she kept glancing towards her family once in well to make sure their were is arguing. As she made to the women side, she saw it was Audrey her mother's best friend.
Marienna swallow the lump forming in her throat, she was about to grabbed the dagger laying near her head when her father spoke up, " marcie get away from her.." Audrey grabbed hold of Marienna wrist tightly.
"Please please help me untie me please..." Marienna hissed in pain as she saw through Audrey's mind, she snatched her wrist from her grasp, " this is your fault.." she snarled showing her fangs.
"I'm sorry I'm so so sorry I promise please I-" Marienna fuel by anger plunged her fangs into Audrey's neck, she was pulled off by Magnus. She for a moment struggled to get out of his hold, until she saw Audrey convulsing on the table.
Audrey nose and eyes started to bleed out, causing her scream in pain. After a minute Audrey laid still on table not moving, everybody watched in pure horror at what Marienna had done.
Marienna ripped herself from her father grip, he looked at her as if she was a stranger. Marcella tilted her head to the side looking at her siblings, she went towards the twins.
She bites into her wrist drawing blood and dripping drops into their mouth. She moved on to Avery and Cairo doing the same, then she waited.
Her Aisha and Magnus looked in shocked when they saw all their children started coughing and moaning. She ran towards her babies and held them tight, Magnus behind her fell to his knees being all them to in his arms in a family hug.
Marienna watched the scene in front of her, felt a ping of sadness. She walked away from the group and towards her aunt.
"So am I every going to experience that?" She asked nonchalantly pointing at her family embrace
"Depends..." she looked at her niece, " do you want to?.." she question.
"Are they going to end up being like me..." she asked still looking at her family.
"I don't know, " Mara answered staring at her, " it's hard to say, its up for the true ones to answer that..." she sighs looking at her sister.
"People like you and me walked the earth for a centuries, we can either cause mayhem or do nothing, I chose to raise a little hell here and there...." Mara smirked, Marienna smiled.
Marienna hummed, " let me ask you something...." Marcella looked at her auntie, " how did you know?"
Marienna looked at her for moment and spoke, " I saw it when she grabbed me..." she mumbled, " how can someone have so much, throw it away so easily.."
"That is what you called greed my dear, its a nasty things " Mara says walking away toward her sister.
Marienna watched as her mother introduced her aunt to her sibling, she looked away and walked towards the table and covered it with a near by tablecloth. She felt her mother behind her, " how you feeling bèbè?"
Marienna shrugged, " overwhelm I guess, wouldn't you be if you found out you killed someone.." she looked at her mother finally.
Aisha open and closed her mouth in shocked, " I may actually live for a long to see the world end, aren't I the lucky one " she says sarcastically.
Marienna walked away before her mother can get a word in, she walk through the forest to clear her head until she made it to her house. She went into her room and flopped down, staring at the ceiling.
She wonder what the future holds for her, she wonder if she ever find love and have children. She wonder if her existence would unbalanced the universe, she fell asleep thinking about the what ifs and the what nots.
Vienna walked up the steps to her house, after another disastrous blind date." What a waste of a Friday night" she thought as she fumbled around her bag for her keys, she heard a crash coming from down the street.
Alerted she looked towards the noise for any signs of danger, she scoffed when saw that the kids down the road were having a party. She shook her head well putting her key in the locked, as she goes through the door she sees her sister Keira on the couch sleep.
She smiled at the sight, she put her keys and bag on the coffee table and shook her sister's shoulder, "Hey! Kay wakes up.." she whispered, Keira moan buried her head further into the cushion.
Sighing Vienna picked up Keira's bridal style and carried her up the stairs to her room, as she laid her down and tuck her in bed. She kissed her forehead, " I know you're awake, I'm gonna get you back for this, " she whispered as her sister snores.
Vienna rolled her eyes and grin, "Goodnight, Keira" as she about to close the door, "Night, V"
"Faker," she called, "I heard that..." she replied
"You were supposed to.." Vienna sang closing the door behind her as she made her way to bed, after taking a long hot shower and getting dress.
Her phone started ringing as she goes into the kitchen, "Hello.." she balances her phone between her ear and shoulder as she grabs some Oreos and popcorn from the pantry.
"Hey stranger"
"Speak of the devil, what can I do you for Mr. Blackwater?" She asked opening the popcorn and putting it in the microwave.
"Nothing just calling to see how the date went" he replied
"It was...eventful," she assured with a gloomy face, as she watched her popcorn.
"I literally see the distaste on your face, out with it.." he says
She put the phone on speaker, and sighed, " He was so condescending I mean my god, I mean I never felt the urge to throw myself through a glass window before..." she explained as she got her popcorn out of the microwave.
Justin laugh through the phone, making Vienna frowned, "Hey! It's not funny..." he continues laughing, "You know this is my fault, I should have known better to ask a guy who stalked his girlfriend to set me up with somebody,"
"Hey!.." Vienna smirk in triumph, " I told you that in confidence," he exclaimed
Vienna giggled at Justin as she pours the popcorn in the bowel, " Oh! I'm sorry did I hit a Mr.Stalker, " she sarcastically tells him as she makes her way to her room.
"Har har har," Vienna roles her eyes at that and continues on trying to find a movie to watch.
They talked for a few more hours before Justin called it a night.
"It's getting late I talk to you tomorrow.."
"Affirmative.." she says as he bid her goodnight, she smiled and hang up and finally a good movie to watch. As she was 10 mins in the movie, she heard screaming from outside.
She got up and went to the window that shows the side of her house, Vienna sigh as she saw a young woman getting attack by a young man.
She made her way down the stairs out the front door, as she walked around her house she saw the men on top of her.
"Hey!.." she shouted catching both the prey and the predator's attention, "Wait your turn, sweetheart" rolling her eyes, Vienna waved her hand towards the men causing him to slam into her house.
The young girl got up and ran before she can leave Vienna caught her arm and looked into her eyes," You going forget what you just happened. Get in your car and drove home, nod your head if you understand," the girl nods her in a trance, Vienna looked at her neck with two puncture wounds.
She healed the wound and sent the girl on her way, "Now get out of here," she motioned with her head, the girl walked away in a dazed towards her car.
The vampire spoke up," I was going to eat that," he said looking Vienna up and down, "...or maybe I just have you for supper," he smirks walking closer to her.
"You wouldn't make it two steps," she dared to turn around going back towards her house, the vampire followed behind.
As she was climbing the steps to her home, the vampire grabs her arm. Vienna with quick speed slammed the men against the wall flashing her eyes and her fangs at him.
"Woah.." he smirked, she growled towards him. She put her hands through his chest causing him to groan in pain, she grabs his hair making him look at her.
"Now I'm gonna tell you this once, get off my property, and the next time I see you. I will not hesitate to kill you, got that sweetheart," he nods quickly as she rips her hand from his chest.
She makes her way inside the house, leaning against the door waiting for the men to leave. After a well she looked through the peephole to see him limping away, she goes to her bathroom and washed away the blood from her hands.
Getting back in her room, she turns off the tv not in the mood anymore, and disposed of her snacks. As she settles down in bed, she slowly drifted off to sleep.
*Flashback*
France,11th century
Marcella watched as her 7-year-old run around the grass in the back of their house, she smiled as she watched her chase after a butterfly. She called out to her, "Alright little one playtimes over, it's time to eat," Vienna grin when she makes her way towards her with a big smile.
"What we eating," she asked holding her doll close to her chest.
"Your favorite: pork with honey bread and carrots," she clapped her hands as she dug in, Vienna places the milk to the side of her. She heard a knock at the door, when she went to opened it her smiled grew.
"Hello, love.."
*End of Flashback*
Vienna alarm went off jointing her awake, she slammed her hand over the snooze button and got out of bed. It was 5:17 am when Vienna came downstairs to the kitchen, the sun was rising to let in some light in the kitchen.
As she got the pots and pans, she started cooking breakfast. After 13 minutes of cooking, she called her sister down and settle the plates on the table. She heard her sister move around upstairs as she ate her eggs and jelly toast.
Keira came into the kitchen dress in a pair of black knee ripped jeans and AC/DC shirt on, with her curly hair tied back.
"Good morning.." Vienna says as she read the newspaper, she looked up from it saw her sister all dressed up,"...and where are you going this early in the morning missy?" she asked wild eye.
"Oh, I was thinking about stopping at the library to finish a paper for class, and go to a friends house after.." Keira says fixing herself a plate, Vienna folded the newspaper and set it down, "I thought we were going to hang out today, you know snuggle up in my room eating pizza and watching some movies..." Vienna pouts.
"We can still do all those things, when I get back," placing her glasses upward and grabbing a bagel and water bottle, "you gonna need more than that.." watching her sister adjust her purse, Keira grabbed an apple and waved it towards her sister, "see you later old-timer,"
"See you later hooligan.." she goes back to her paper as her sister walks out the door, placing the paper down Vienna started putting the leftover away in the fridge. Not a second goes by she hears the door opening k, she sees her sister running into in and grabbing her phone off the counter and smiles.
"See you later" she runs back out slamming the door behind her, shaking her Vienna went back to what she was doing.
The knocking came from the living," What did you forget this time-" Vienna stopped in her tracks when she saw who was at her door.
"Hi Ms.Jean," both girls said shyly in unison.
"Um..Ms.Bennet and Ms.Gilbert, what are you doing here?" Vienna questions looking at them suspiciously.
"Oh..um..we..came...here to," Vienna watched as Elena stumble over her words, well looking to Bonnie for help as she tries to come up with a response," Listen..." Vienna says making the girls look at her.
"...Girls as much I would love to watch you come up with an answer, I would rather like to spend the remainder of my weekend in bed, so if you excuse me," she says closing the door when Bonnie put her foot between it.
" We know what you are?" Bonnie says quickly, Elena looked at her wide eyes as Bonnie side-eye her.
"Oh really and what exactly am I, Ms.Bennet?" she chuckled looking Bonnie patiently.
"A witch?" She says uncertainly
"A witch?.." Vienna gazing at the girls," Ms.Gilbert do you also think that I am a..witch," she says closing her eyes rubbing her temple.
Elena opens and closes her mouth like a fish outta water, "We know what you did last night.." Bonnie spoke up again, glaring at her.
"First you accuse me of being a witch, now you watching me alright.." she says trying to close her door again but Bonnie stopped it, "Okay maybe not a witch but your something supernatural," Bonnie snapped.
Vienna watched the young Bennet witch," She has Emily's eyes" she thought clearing her throat and looking between the girls.
"Okay let's say I am what you say I am, why are you on my doorstep," says agitated.
"We need your help..." Vienna scoffed at the teens,"...please this life-threatening," Bonnie finish looking desperate at Vienna.
"Not my problem," looking at the kids unfazed, the two looked taken back by the response.
"But you saved that girl.." Elena slowly, Vienna shrug her shoulders looking bewildered.
"So?"
Elena looked shocked," so that means your a good guy and you can be trusted," Vienna laughed in their faces after hearing that, "Oh god I really hope you not that naive Ms. Gilbert," she wiped fake tears off her face," let me get you some advice Ms.Gilbert..." stepping out of her house to come closer, the girls backed up.
"There no such thing as good guys or a bad guys...but there is such a thing as a irritated person who doesn't want the cops come banging on her door and asking why there a dead body on her front lawn.." she crossed her arms with a lazy smile on her face.
Both girls looked disappointed," Listen you guys don't need me...you figure it out y'all always do," she sighed going back inside.
"Wait you know about us?" Bonnie asked surprised," I'm pretty sure if the whole town was as smart as they look they know about the scobby gang that fights the monsters that go bump in the night" she smirked leaning against her doorway.
"Fine...if you won't help us then can we at least ask for some explain something to us," Vienna looks at them for a moment," Sure what the hell," she places her hands on her waist.
"What does propusna li me, mladi voini mean?" Elena says, Vienna stood up straight as she heard those words. She shook her head as her blood ran cold it felt like everything around them stop, she backed away and tripped over her own feet and falling hard on the wooden floors.
Before she can go passed out she breathed," Katherine..," everything went black.

Vienna finished getting off the phone with her brother. As she removed the ice pack from behind her head and toss it on the coffee table. She went back to finishing packing, as she was being the bags down stairs.
The doorbell ring she set the bags near the stairs,being on high alert she walked to the door cautiously and looked through the peephole. Seeing who it was behind the door she blew a sigh of relief.
She open the door to the three teenagers,"Finally you here, hurry get inside," she ushered them looking around before shutting the door.
"V what's going on.." she looked to the bags on the floor,"where are we going," she distressed looking back at her sister.
"Not me..." she grabbed her bags off the floor and handed them to Keira,"..you" Keira looked taken back by her sister,"What about school?," she says following her sister around the house, Vienna walked into the kitchen.
Going under the sink to grab the piggy bank,"you will be transfer to Audubon Charter School for the rest of the semester," she says breaking the piggy bank.
"New Orleans! Your sending me all the way to live in New Orleans!" She shouted as she follows her sister to the living room.
"Yes,Luka would be here in about 10 mins,so say your goodbyes," facing away from Keira to put the money in a safe place in her bag. With a scorn on her face, Keira walked up the stairs," unbelievable," she mumbled slamming her door to her room.
The two teenagers watching the whole scene break out, stood awkwardly to the side watched as Vienna zipped up the bag and place it by the door.
Vienna sat on the couch with her head in her hands.
Elena spoke up,"so..," Bonnie gave her a look,"you still didn't answer our question," she says uncomfortable with the tension in the room.
Vienna sigh." did you miss me..," she muttered.
The girls looked at each other in realized that you knew Katerina. Before bonnie can speak up there was a knock at the door, Vienna sat on the couch wallowing in her misery. So Bonnie went to answer the door.
📷
"Hey!" The boy known as Luka hug Bonnie,"...look at you, you've grown so much last time I saw you.." he says still hugging Bonnie, a girl came up behind him and smack him in the head, causing him to let go of Bonnie," what was that for?" He glared at his sister.
📷
"That's not Keira dummy.." she says walking into the pass them both. Luka looked at the girl in front of her closely, realized that's not his sister.
"Whoops...sorry about that," he says embarrassed.
"I-It's okay," she said shyly as they make there way inside the house, Luka close the door behind himself.
"So where is Keira anyways," Luka ask behind the couch looking at his sisters."she in her room saying her goodbyes.." said sadly.
"Your doing the right thing Vee.." Yasmine says rubbing her sister back,"I know I know," rubbing her face.
📷
Keira descending the stairs,she cleared her throat to catch everyone attention,"I'm done," she says grabbing her bag and put them over shoulder.
📷
Vienna went towards her engulfing her in a hug. Vienna pulled away watching as Keira's lip starts to trembling,"hey don't cry.." she whispered wiping the tears away.
"Everything's going to be okay.." assuring her with a smile,she leads her to the car rubbing her arm.
One final hug to her sisters and brother, she watched as they drive away. She turn on her heels going back inside, she sees Bonnie and Elena talking quietly to each other.
She clears her throat making them face her,"First thing, I'm gonna ask you one question and you..." pointing to the both of them," are going to answer honestly,okay" they both nodded quickly
"Is Katerina here?"
They nodded again.
"Okay..." distraught she walk into the kitchen, Bonnie looked at Elena as she looked back at Bonnie waiting a minute. They saw Vienna coming out chugging a wine bottle, as she finish she sit it down on the table motion to the girl to take a seat.
"What you wanna know?"
"Why is she here?"
"Why does she exactly like me?"
They said at same time. Vienna didn't understand anything that came out of their mouth. It could be either wine or them she couldn't tell.
"Okay one at a time children,.." she says sarcastically,taking another swing from her drink,"...Bonnie you first,"
"Why is Katerina here?" She asked
"No idea I'm as clueless as the rest of you lot. Elena," she looks towards the girl.
"Why does she look like me?"
"Well for one she's your ancestor and two well that's apparently it.." she giggled
"That's all you know nothing else," Elena says looking at Vienna well gnawing inside of her cheek.
"Yelp.." Vienna took another swing of the bottle, Elena shook her head as she stares at Vienna," unbelievable..." she gets up and talks towards the front door,"Bonnie your coming or what.." she says annoyed.
"Ummm I think I'm gonna stay and see if I can get some more info out of her," she stand in front of Elena.
📷
The Gilbert girl took a quick glance at Vienna and looked at Bonnie,"Suit yourself..I'm going to go check on Caroline see ya later okay. " she hugs her friend and leaves.
Bonnie faces towards Vienna, who was smiling at her," What you smiling at?" She squint at Vienna.
"Nothing...you just-you have your grandmothers eyes that all," she says looking down playing with her jeans,"sorry for you lost by the way.." Bonnie gave her a small smile.
"Thanks...," Vienna nodded.
"How did you know my grams?" Vienna smiles at the memory the first time she meet Sheila.
"She was 12 years old, i used to babysit her in the 80's. " Bonnie gawked taking a seat near Vienna.
Bonnie hummed and she start frigidity with her hand, the were quiet in the moment.
"Did you every meet my mother.." she shyly asked.
"Sadly yes.." Vienna responded drinking some more from the bottle.
"Why sadly.." she says quietly
Vienna sigh,"don't get me wrong Bonnie your mother was a amazing student and a extraordinary witch but..." she shook her head.
"...it didn't really sit right with me when she left you with your grandmother, you were just 3 and..." Vienna stopped herself before she say something she might regret later.
"...it just wasn't right," she finished looking away from the young bennett witch.
Bonnie nodded her head in understanding. She blew out air of frustration trying to figure out what to do about the Katerina problem.
"Is there anything you can tell us about Katrina, anything at all?"
"I don't know it been so long since I saw her or even talk to her talk to her," Vienna said biting her nails, trying to remember.
"Only that she was exile from her home by her father for giving birth out of wedlock," she rake her mind for more information.
"...She was on the run from for a well," Bonnie perk up at that, "why was she on the run?"
"From what I gathered her blood is special so a lot of people wanted it.Especially this asshat I knew. " she giggled still a little drunk,"...but she tricked some vampire into turning her making her blood unuseful for anyone to use," she finished.
"Okay okay that's good we can use that," she says," anything else?,"
"Uhhh...we...me and Katerina had a fallen out, she um.." Vienna cleared her throat, avoiding eye contact with Bonnie," me and her sleep together couple times nothing serious but she got attached, which caused her to get jealous and do something that got her in very big trouble," Vienna looked through the hole of the bottle trying to see if there anymore liquor in their.
"What did she do?" Bonnie questioned sitting in the edge of her seat.
"She slept with someone that he trusted and punished them.." she threw the empty bottle on the floor.
"...the only way you can stop Katrina is by Klaus but then you have Klaus to deal with so.." shrugged her shoulders getting up to get another bottle.
"What about you?" Bonnie asked following her into the kitchen, Vienna went into refrigerator to reserve her 6 pack of wine coolers.
"What about me?" She open one of the bottle and too a sip. She offer one to Bonnie what the young witch decline,"I mean Katerina never thought to find or contact you until now and that message sound like a threat," Bonnie finish crossing her arms.
"Uh uh I say it once I say it again this is not my problem, okay what y'all doing is y'all business only, not mines and certainly not the towns," she walks back to the living room flopping on the couch.
Bonnie sat on the coffee table ." Don't you have anything better to do I already told you what I know," she turn to the side hiding away from her wanting this conversation to be over.
"Not everything why is she after you."
"She not after me, that "message" wasn't a threat it was her telling me she's here," she spat
"Please just tell me it may help to save my friends," she says desperately.
Bonnie waited for a response but didn't get one, she sighed.
"I-I lied when I said she haven't contact me until now," Vienna spoke up, Bonnie watches as turn towards her. Vienna grabs another drink and took a swing from it.
"...she contacted me a well back, I was in New York for and we ran into each other in Manhattan.." she lean back in the couch.
"..she was apparently there for some guy name which now thinking about is your friend boyfriend," she looked at Bonnie to which made her, she nodded grimly.
"..well there we got into a argument in the alleyway, she said something to me and I-" taking a deep breathe and closing her eyes,"I snapped, I saw red, I attacked her leaving her half dead in the alleyway without a care..." she said gloomy.
Bonnie reaches over to rub her knee, Vienna looked at Bonnie with tears in her as she gave Vienna a sympathetic smile.
"...this is very inappropriate, you that right?" She sniffles with a watery smile, Bonnie giggled.
Vienna stood up with Bonnie following toe,"So now that I told you what you needed to know, you mind leaving I would like to enjoy the rest of my evening before I have go back to work in the morning," she says walking Bonnie to the door.
"Yeah. Yeah..." Bonnie stepping outside she went to face Vienna again," thanks again your was a big help,.." Vienna nodded.
📷
"See ya later Ms.Jean." Walking down the steps towards her car.
📷
"Ms. Bennett.." Vienna shouted, Bonnie turn towards her," Don't forget my homework," she smirked, Bonnie smiled and nodded waving goodbye as she got in her car and drove away.
Vienna signed closing her door behind her.
Vienna drove to work bitter since she woke up, no messages or missed calls from Keira. She would usually stay home and work on her PowerPoint from there, but now that Keira left the house felt dull and lifeless.
She pulled up to Mystic Falls High School, she grabs her coffee and bag making her way into the building. As she walks down the empty hallways towards her classroom.
At a steady pace, Vienna starts to work after 5 hours go by she hears a door closes. She stood up and makes her way into the hallway but sees no one, she shrugs and goes back to work.
Not 5 minutes go by she hears a knock on her door, Vienna got up with caution making her way towards the door. She swings it open to no other than Justin Blackwater.
📷
"Damn it, Justin, you scared the shit out of me. " she cursed putting her hand over her hand. She walks back to her desk well he chuckled at her.
"Sorry thought you saw my car and come visit little old me," he sat on her desk beside her, "...anyways what you doing here you usually work from home on Sundays."
She looked up from her work giving him a despondent look,"Yeah, well I felt like doing something different today." She went back to work feeling even more gloomy.
He pulled up a seat next to her, "Really? I thought you be in your house snug up with Keira or something." Vienna stopped writing at the mention of her sister, Justin looked at her concern.
"Vee, what's wrong?"
"Uhhh, Keira isn't living with me. Something happened and I didn't want her involved in it, so I sent her to live with my family in New Orleans."
He frowned and scoot closer ,"...I'm sorry, do you want to talk about it?" he said making her shake her head no.
"Hey, if you need anything. I'm here I hope you know that. " he smiled as he put his hand on her thigh. She looks at him with a small smile, Justin bends down to kiss Vienna. She stood up and wrapped her arms around his neck.
This wasn't the first time they did this and it probably won't be the last, they have been doing this since Justin got the job. First, it started off as meaningless one night stand which soon grew into a lovely friend with benefits. Either one of them wanted to take it far due to the fact that Justin was still hang up on his ex-girlfriend and Vienna was trying to focus more on herself and her family.
Someone coughed catching the teachers attention, Vienna and Justin broke apart and looked to the door to see Matt, Bonnie, Jeremy, and the guy from Friday night.
Matt uncomfortably avoiding eye contact with the two, Bonnie looked shocked and embarrassed, Jeremy looked taken back and angry at what he walked in on, well the guy from Friday night had a huge weird smile on his face.
"Uhh...Mr. Blackwater, we're finished cleaning up the cafeteria," Matt said not looking at the teachers, "Ummm...Can you give me a minute, " he says fidgeting with his tie taking a quick glance at Vienna before putting his attention back on the kids, "...I have some more things to finish up here," he finished.
"Yea we can see that," Jeremy mumbled, Bonnie hit him in the arm and gave him a look. He rolled his eyes putting his hands in the pocket of his hoodie. Bonnie looked at Vienna, "Ms.Jean I was hoping if I can ask you some question about the homework. " she smiled.
Vienna nodded," Yeah sure.." she looks at Justin," Well Mr. Blackwater it looks like we are needed so..." he nodded making his way towards the door," Mr. Donovan don't forget test tomorrow." She tells him as he nodded following Justin out the door, Jeremy eyed Vienna for a good second before leaving the room.
"What crawled up his ass and died?" she asks sitting back down, Bonnie shrug.
"No idea," Bonnie says making her way towards the chair in front of Vienna's desk. The man whistled catching Bonnie's attention," Oh! Ms. Jean this is-," Bonnie was cut off by the man.
"Damon, Damon Salvatore," he smiled sitting next Bonnie, "Uh-huh, why is he here?" Vienna ignores Damon presents and looked at Bonnie's sour.
"I just thought he can help us out with our predicament," she inquired looking at Vienna hopefully, she rolls her eyes and gets up to put some papers in the file cabinet.
"Ms. Bennett you really working my nerve, I told you all I can yesterday what more do you want from me," she says stated slamming the draw close and standing front of Bonnie and Damon.
"I know, I know, I'm sorry but she-" Bonnie whimpered looking down, Vienna furrowed her eyes brows looking down at the young witch. Bonnie took at shaky breathe," She attacked Caroline in the hospital.." she sobs, Vienna stood straight upcoming to Bonnie's side. Bonnie threw herself in Vienna arms clinging on to her well Vienna held her tight.
"Is she-she dead.." Vienna didn't want to say it, she didn't want to know that her best friend's great-granddaughter is gone.
"No...she turned her," she wept, Vienna made eye contact with Damon, he glanced away with guilt written all over his face. Vienna looked down at Bonnie as the poor girl cried her eyes out, "first her grandmother, now her best friend can this girl catch a break."
Vienna pulled away when Bonnie started to calm down again, whipping the tears from Bonnie's face. Vienna spoke up," I'll help you find a way to stop Katerina but first..." Bonnie looked at Vienna confused.
Vienna grab one of her wooden pencils from her desk and stabbed Damon in his chest in his heart. She stood over him as he groans in pain clutching his chest, Bonnie jumped out of her seat going a good distance just in case a fight would have to break out.
Damon glared trying to pull out the pencil, before he can do so Vienna catches his wrist and twisted it,"..I don't like violence never have but I'll make an exception for you.." she slams him to the wall with her arm to his throat pinning him.
"So read my lips if I ever see another bite on any of my students...your dead, if I ever see cuts on their wrist...your dead, if I even hear about an animal attack I'm gonna assume it was you or your brother and I guess what..." she glared at him hostile, her eye glowing purple.
"Your dead.." she twist the pencil making him groan again," Capeesh?" he scoffed looking away, she chuckled and twisted it deeper inside his chest making him whimper.
"I said capeesh?" She raised her eyebrow, he nodded his head," capeesh," he sneered, she ripped pencil out without a second thought and back off of him. He collapsed on the ground. He looked up at her impassively.
📷
"Good boy, now I need you to do something for me," she compelled him," tell Katerina to meet me at the fell's church at 7, nod if you understand. " he nodded his head mindlessly," get out of my sight," she hissed making Damon go and walked away in a trance.
"How did you do that?" Vienna jumped at the sound of Bonnie, she totally forgot she was there," I thought the only vampire can do stuff like that,"
"They can." She says seating at her desk.
"So can witches but the difference is they have to use a spell to do it well vampire do it with their mind...like Jedi," Bonnie laughed at the example Vienna gave about mind compulsion.
Vienna grinned well she stared at her laptop, as they sit in silence. Bonnie's phone started to ring, Vienna motioned for to take it. Bonnie got up and went into the hall, Vienna grabs her phone and start dialing Keira's number. She tired four times before someone picked up.
"Hello?"
📷
"Hey! How are you? That was a stupid question sorry. But how are you settling? Did Luka and Yasmine show you around? Are you doing okay? I already ask that didn't I sorry," she says nervously.
"Are you still there?" She gulps fidgeting with her necklace when she didn't answer.
"Yeah I'm still here," Vienna sighs in relief at hearing her voice.
"Are you busy?"
"No. I just fell asleep after packing, that's all."
"Oh I'm sorry, I just call you later-"
No. No. No." she says quickly.
They didn't say anything. They just listen to each other breathing.
"I miss you."
"I miss you."
They said at the same time. They laughed.
"I want to come home."
Vienna closed her eyes tight wanting to drop everything and just go to New Orleans. But she can't keep hiding away and ignoring the problems that she made.
"I know. I swear when this is over. I would come to New Orleans myself to come to get you and bring you home. " She whispered.
"Okay..." she sighed," I leave you to it, don't forget to eat or to water the plants. I know how forgetful you are."
Vienna grin," I won't...I love you."
"I love you too..," she yawn,"..mom." She says making Vienna smiled, "I love you too, kiddo."
📷
They both said their goodbyes before hanging up. Vienna balled her fist, making the black veins in her arms and eyes show. Her purple eyes start glowing again, without knowing everything around her start to shake causing books and subjects to fall. Bonnie came rushing in and saw Vienna not moving like she was some statue.
📷
"Ms. Jean?" She stumbled little as the school shook.
"MS. JEAN!" She screamed
Nothing happened Vienna stood there unmoved and unbothered by Bonnie. She goes closer towards Vienna, the closer she got the more powerful her headache felt.
"Ms. J-Jean.," Bonnie says weakly lean against the board for support as she gets closer.
📷
Bonnie falls to the floor near Vienna clutching her head. Making her nose bleed.
"Vienna...Vienna!....Vee" she tugged Vienna's pants leg, shaking her out of the haze.
She looks down to see Bonnie's nose bleeding. She goes into her draw and grabs a bunch of napkins, she helps Bonnie into her chair and put the napkins to her nose.
She looked around and finally saw the mess. She leans against her desk and slides down to the floor.
She sighs and looks up at Bonnie," I'm sorry, Bonnie. You shouldn't have been here for that. " she muttered.
"What was that?" She questions looking at slightly afraid.
"That just something that happens, when I'm overwhelmed and angry at the same time. It's like an override in my magic. It has been so long since I had one of those." She says looking at her hands sadly.
"When the last time you had one? If you mind me asking." She says quickly not wanting to be nosy.
"Uhh..1964, I was in California visiting my sister Anais and we were celebrating and ran into these men on the street on our way home. They were ignorant man, who was full of hate to you know." she says signaling her skin color.
"...We didn't react to their slurs and insults. Until one of them flicked a lit cigarette at Anais I ended up sending them into a comatose with my compulsion..." she finished.
Bonnie looked sympathetic at Vienna, she reaches her hand out to help her off the ground. Vienna smiles at her and took her, she looked over the room one more time before sighing.
"You should get going to ms. Bennett, I know you have the carnival to get ready for..." Bonnie was about to disagree, before Vienna spoke up again," no I'm serious go on be a teenager, I clean up around here. " she smiled slapping her gently on the back. Bonnie grabs her purse and walked towards the door with Vienna following behind her.
"I see your Monday, Ms.Jean," Bonnie says with a grin.
"Call me Vienna. Expect during class that's be inappropriate. " she laughed as bonnie nodded her head. Before she left she turn towards Vienna again.
"One more thing, Ms- I mean Vienna," Bonnie corrected herself.
"Yes?" Vienna sang.
📷
"You and Mr.Blackwater?" She questions trying to not smile at her Vienna face.
"Goodbye Ms.Bennett and please don't tell anyone about that please," she begs.
"Scout's honor." She mocks giving her a salutes making her way down the hall towards the exit.
Vienna went back to her class to straighten up.
*Several hours later*
Vienna pulls up to the Fell's Church, she looks around the rundown church with caution.
The moon and her phone being her only source of light help her to the center of the church.
📷
"Hello, lover." Katerina purred coming out of the dark.
"Katerina.." Vienna monotone, glancing at her as they circle each other. Katerina clenched her jaw.
"How long has it been? 17? 24 years?" She spoke, stopping a couple of feet away from Vienna.
"48. Now, what are you doing here." She deadpanned, leaning against the stone wall.
" Yes! The last time I saw you, you left me to die in an alleyway 48 years ago." She says bitterly ignoring Vienna's previous question, glaring heated at her.
"...time it can never be just right, can it?" Vienna rolled her eyes at her remarked.
"I'm losing my patient here.." She hissed.
"Sorry? I wasn't the one who invited you here. You did, so I don't have to tell you anything. "She smirked.
Vienna speeds towards Katerina holding her throat, keeping her pin against the stones.
"Okay. Let try this again you going to tell me what you doing here. Or I will gut you and hang you upside down with your intestines in the middle of town square for everyone to see. " she sneered.
Katerina wouldn't give in not until Vienna plunges her hand into her dead heart and started squeezing.
"If you kill me. Klaus would fuel his hatred onto you. You never have peace," she chocked, scratching at Vienna's hand.
"Then you better start talking..." she says, she squeezes harder, making Katerina cry out.
"I'm here for the moonstone to offer it to Klaus for my life back. Now please stop it hurts." Vienna ripped her hand from her chest and looking down at Katerina and scoffed.
"Are you out of your mind! If he gets his hands on that stone. We all die." Katerina flenched at Vienna's tone. Flashes of the past rushed through Katerina's mind when she heard Vienna. She pushed those through in the back of her head.
Vienna rubs her face in annoys," children. I'm dealing with whiney annoying children." She thought as she figures out, how to find the stone before Katerina.
"Leave.." Vienna says walking to her car. Confused Katrina followed her.
"You knew I can't do that Marcy." Vienna clashes her eyes, scaring Katrina into submission. She kept her head down when Vienna growled at her.
"Don't call me that...ever!" She sneered.
"..Now..get out of my sight before I do something I may not regret." She finished as she watches Katerina speed away.
Vienna sigh as she leans against her car, she closes her eyes and breathes.
📷
Her eyes snap open at the sudden melody that came into her head. She shakes her head and got in the car. On her way home, she thought about the melody she hasn't heard in a well.
She got inside her house, grabbing a bottle of tequila and going upstairs. She gets her phone out to text Alaric about the information she got from Katerina. Message sent she got out of her clothes and took a well-needed shower.
When she got done and dressed, she turns the tv on and took a swing from her bottle. After hours of drinking and watching tv, she slowly feels to sleep with the bottle of tequila in her hand.
Marcella opens her eyes on her pouch, watching the kids across the street play. She took a sip of her beer. She leans back putting her sunglasses on, enjoying the nice sunny.
"Well. Well. Well..." the man said looking at Vienna with a smirk. Sitting up sudden Vienna's heart stop as she saw the man who supposes to be in a comatose slumber. She removed her glasses and looked at him.
"If it isn't Marcella Jean-Pierre." He purrs grinning devilishly.
"K-Klaus?" Vienna whimpered.
"Hello love," he smiled showing his teeth,"..did you miss me."
Vienna black vein appears on both of her forearms, her eyes glowed purple.
📷
Klaus glowed his eyes back at her with a smile showing his fangs.
"Ah. Ah. Little lamb.." he waves his finger at her as she gets in an attacking stance," let's talk civilly hmm?" He asked.
"I rather spend the next century in a box in the Pacific Ocean, than talk to you." She hissed.
"Oh don't be like that, darling," he said with a fake pout.
She growled at him. Making him laugh. She narrowed her eyes at him as she kept her head high.
Vienna went for the attack but Klaus being a little faster pinned her between him and the column. Her hands in his pinned them to her side, he stare deep inside her eyes.
"Nice try-." Vienna head-butted Klaus making stumble back. She attacks him to the floor, putting his hands by his head.
"You got to be faster than that, old man.." she smiled down at him, Klaus grabs Vienna's thighs flipping them over so he was on top.
"That's fast enough for you?" He smirks down at her. They stare at each other. Klaus leaned in before he can get any closer, she facepalms him shoving off him to the side.
They both laid there staring at the roof. Klaus moves first taking a seat on the step as she laid there staring at his back.
"You know.." he started well Vienna moves to sit next to him. " I came here with a whole speech. On how I was going to come back and exact my revenge. For what you did..."
"Eh, it still early I have nothing else to do. I think you can still say your diabolical plans to me." She joked, Klaus chuckled he smiled towards her.
"Same old Marcella." He hummed
"Vienna." She says. He looked at her in question.
"I changed my name to Vienna, a well back," she explained. He nods his head.
"Do you hate me that much to go and change your name. " he huffed.
"No. Don't get me wrong I hate you with a passion. But I hate my parents more," she told him. One of the things they had in common, they both despise the people who made them who they are.
Vienna stares at him as he reached for her abandoned beer.
"Hey!" She exclaimed.
He smirks at her. He takes a quick sip. He makes a look of disgust when the beer hit his taste buds. He spits it out.
"Serves you right." She teased.
He pours the drink into the grass making Vienna gawk at him.
"You should really start expanding your drinking options, darling. Because this (hold bottle) ain't it." She couldn't help the giggle that came out. He smiled at her with triumph. She shook her head and bite her lips.
After all these years he can still make her smile like a star. He moved her hair out of her face and rubs her checks.
"What?." She says catching him staring at her.
"What? Can't I admire my gorgeous wife." He replies.
"Ex-wife." She said quickly wrapping her arms around her legs, resting her chin on her knees.
"I don't remember getting an official divorce. So technically we are still married?" He grins wolfish showing her his ring. She rolled her eyes, she always hated that damn grin.
Her thoughts were cut off when she realized that Klaus was still wearing his wedding ring.
"You still have it." She mutters. His eyes soften.
Klaus "Douchebag" Mikaelson. The most feared being in the world. Kept the ring she proposed to him with after all this time.
"I couldn't bring myself to throw it away," he said playing with it, he looks down.
".. but I can see you did." He scolded. She rolled her eyes.
"Think again." She says taking her chain necklace out to show him. He looked in awe at the golden brand ring with the emerald stone in the middle.
📷
"..I couldn't bear to wear it on my finger, so I put it on my necklace..." she said looking at him.
📷
Klaus put his hand on the back of her neck and kissed her. Vienna melted in the kiss and cling to him. He pulled away to Vienna dismay and rested his head on hers.
"Runaway with me." He said. Those words. Those same words that made them get married. The same words that torn them apart.
"Klaus.." she sighed, backing away from him. He looked forward and continued.
"We can live where ever you want. We can.." he gulps taking a minute." Start over. " he said watching the kids across the street make their way home.
Vienna clenched her jaw. She balled her fist trying not to get let her emotion control her powers. She stood up, Klaus the following suit. She walked to her door, as she was about to slam it shut in Klaus's face. He put his hand on the door to stop it.
"I'm sorry..." he started. Vienna's eyes held hope that he was finally changed.
"But you gave me no choice. I had enough of the lying, and I thought you of all people would never lie to me. You were like everybody else. So I had to let everybody know not even my wife and my family will not go unpunished." Vienna bites her lip. Her heart broke. How can she possibly think that he changed? No amount of begging and assuring will never be enough for him to believe her.
"I hate you Niklaus.." she deadpanned, Klaus tightens his grip on the door. "One day you going to be alone. And I pray to be there to watch you suffer. " she continues.
He narrows his eyes at her when she comes closer. "I am done babysitting a child who won't grow up. I am so done waiting for you to change for the better. But you won't and you never will." He looked at her calmly.
He chuckled sinisterly, "Look who finally grew a backbone. Now that you got that out of your system. Why don't we kiss and makeup."
"I rather die." She says coldly.
"You wound me..." he says nonchalantly grinning.
"...Why don't we make a deal." He smirks.
"Not interested." She scolded.
"Not even if I said. I leave the people of mystic falls alone. Leave the witch and her friends alone." Klaus smiles when he saw the look on Vienna's face when he mentions the young Bennett. He could see the wheels turning in her head.
"How do I know you not just blowing smoke up my ass." She said. Klaus rolled his eyes at her words.
"Fine. I won't kill your little boyfriend either. Fair. " Vienna looks puzzled for a moment before she realized who Klaus is talking about.
"How did you-"
"Doesn't matter. So we got our selves a deal," he said quickly
Vienna looked at Klaus suspicious." Depends. What the deal is."
Klaus smiles, "Just you and me in the countryside of London. Living the life we should have continued living." He entwined his fingers with Vienna's. She wanted so badly to take the deal. To run away from it all. Have that simple life you always crave with the person you love.
"I even sweeten the pot. You can bring little Keira along with. We can be a little family again..." he says tenderly.
"What you say." He said hopefully.
"...no.," she said. Her throat tightens as she continued to speak. "I can't put myself through that again. I can't put Keira through that. I just can't. " Klaus looked devastated he knew you were going to say no. But hey it was worth a shot. Right.
He kissed her forehead, lingering for a well before moving towards her ear. "See you on the battlefield, my love. " he pulled away and walked away. He walked farther down the street until she couldn't see him anymore.
She collapsed on the ground crying leaning on the door. Her hand went to her necklace.
"I wanna wake up. I wanna wake up. I wanna wake up. " she muttered over and over as she felt like the air was getting taken away. She closed her eyes taking big deep breathe.
Vienna opens her eyes and looked around. She saw it was still fake outside. As she laid in bed thinking about what Klaus said. She wonders if she made the right choice.
For the past 2 weeks, Vienna called out of work. If Klaus wanted war, she couldn't face her friend and her students that would have to fight it.
She didn't want to see the teens that she basically watched grow up get slaughtered by the man she loves. So she spent her days laying in bed drinking wine and ordering pizza.
One night as she was doing her new routine of drinking and catching up on some shows. There was a crash from downstairs, quickly she grabs her wooden baseball bat and walks near the stairs. Slowly she descends the stairs, as she reached the last step.
Squinting to try to see in the dark, she made out a group huddle around together in her living room. She reached around her wall to find the light. She finally finds it and turns it on.
"AAAAHHHHH!!!!"
"AAAAAHHHHH!!!!-" Vienna bends over putting her hand on her chest. She looks at the group of teenagers and adults in her house.
Bonnie and Jeremy held each other as well as Caroline and Tyler. Stefan is holding Elena close to his chest. Matt is on the ground passed out with Damon standing over him.
"What in ACTUALLY hell are you doing in my house!" Vienna yelled as she held the baseball bat in her hand.
"What the hell are you going to do with a baseball bat," Damon commented peering at the bat in her hand.
"I'm about to commit a felony if y'all don't tell me what the hell you doing in my house." She says looking around the room. "...And why is Mr. Donovan passed out on my floor." She looks towards Matthew as he lay unconscious. Caroline and Tyler's help lay him on my couch.
"Uh. Uh. Don't put him there." she says making Caroline and Tyler stop in there tracks.
"What? Why?" Tyler asked. Glancing at the coach and back at Vienna.
"Because y'all not staying for long." She pointing at all of them.
"Listen lady-" Vienna presses her baseball bat to Damon's chest making stay.
"No. I want all you out of my house. Now!" She says agitated. She wasn't ready to face them yet.
"Can you please hear us out." Bonnie started moving away from Jeremy not to his liking and standing next to Damon. Bonnie looked apologetic wanted Vienna to listen.
Vienna looked around the room. Caroline and Tyler were still holding a knocked out Matt giving her a small smile. Jeremy still looks like a broody teenager. Damon looks like he didn't want to be here. Elena and Stefan looked apologetic.
She sighs lowering her bat down. "Lay him down. Hey broody teenaged ninja turtle why don't you go make yourself useful? Go into the kitchen and grab an ice pack." Everybody chuckled as he scowled. "Did I stutter Mr. Gilbert. Now," she ordered. He storms out of the living room into the kitchen to grab an ice pack.
Caroline and Tyler laid Matt down on the couch. Caroline rubs her hand through Matt's hair looking concern. "Do is anyone gonna answer my question." Jeremy came back into the room tossing the ice pack to Tyler and standing next to his sister. Nobody spoke.
"Please don't y'all all at once. " she rolled her eyes leaning on her baseball bat.
"He tripped over your coffee table and banged his head pretty hard on the ground," Damon says.
"..which I caused by shoving him making him break your wooden thingy." He smirks holding up a broken wooden stick as everybody groans.
"WHAT!!!" She moved towards Damon getting a better look at the thingy ma jig. She gasps, "MMMY WAAAND" she pouts at her broken Harry Potter wand.
"You guys actually have those?" Damon mused pointing the broken wand.
"No. You parasite it's fake I brought it off online last year for a costume. " She grumbled walking to her draw next to the couch and placing it in there.
"I buy you a new one. I promise." Bonnie was apologetic.
"So you have $150 laying around." She started looking at him with a frown.
"What! It cost like $40 dollars at the theme park." She gawked as stared at her crazy.
"It's an antique. That is the real elder wand that came from the movies." She praised. By looking in his face she knew what he was thinking and she didn't care. It was worth it.
"Your something else." She grins shaking his head.
"Thanks." She smirks.
"Now we got that out of the way. Why did y'all break into my house." She says sitting on her on the stairs.
"We haven't seen you in 2 weeks," Bonnie said leaning on the handrail looking down at her.
"Yeah. So..." she grunted.
"You never miss work. Not even for emergencies." Bonnie interjects walking towards Vienna and sitting next to her. "..so we came over to make sure you were okay." She finished.
"I'm fine. I just a little bum out. I miss Keira that's all. I actually planning on going back to school on Tomorrow. " she says glancing at Bonnie.
"Great. Now can we go" Jeremy asked monotone as he was about to walk to the door. When Damon pulled him back.
"No. We're not finished. Because teach over there. Have some explaining to do." Damon sneered looking at the Vienna with a glare. "One of them being. How the hell did you compel me without using a spell." Vienna rolled her eyes and smirked at him.
"That's impossible. No witch can do that..." Stefan says still holding Elena close to him, looking at Vienna curiously.
"Who said I was a witch.." Vienna said looking bored with this whole ordeal.
"Bonnie-" Stefan started.
"No. I said she has sort of witch power but she doesn't have that aura around her." Bonnie cut in.
"So what are you," Caroline spoke up finally looking at her teacher. Vienna looked at the blonde and sighed.
"I'm.." she looked around. "..at this moment in time agitated and tired. Now get out of my house." she snapped. Making everyone around frowned at her response.
"Seriously. What is your problem?" Elena says walking towards Vienna. Stefan held her back.
"Elena!-" Bonnie starts.
"No. Bonnie I want to know what gives her the right to act like this to us." Elena frowns looking at Vienna angry.
"God your so annoying. I liked you better as a kid at least your attitude was justified back then." She sassed. Elena gawked at her in shock.
"This was a waste of time. Come on Elena we're living." Stefan grabs Elena elbow but she pulled away.
"No! You don't know anything about me. How can you be so heartless? " Elena crosses her arms and continues to glare at Vienna.
"Because I can. If you live as long as I have. Or see what I have seen. Feel what I felt. You would act the same way." She spat getting up and walking closer to Elena.
Elena looked away from Vienna's intense stare. Vienna glared hard at everybody in the room.
"You know what.." she slapped her hands together making everybody jumped at her sudden action. "...I don't need this right now. I have no time to deal with your fucked up soap opera nonsense. Y'all should be out there looking for Katerina and not here bothering me. " she seethes, with every word she said everything in her house started to shake violently. Making the gang look around the room.
Bonnie looked at Vienna. Her eyes were shut and her hands were the ball in fists. She grabs Vienna hugging her and whispered comfort in her ear. Slowly and surely she calmed down making the house stop moving.
Vienna opens her eyes and felt Bonnie hugging her. "What happened? Why are you hugging me," she says confused, Bonnie laughed and hugged her tighter. Vienna and Bonnie pulled away and looked at the group.
Caroline and Tyler crouched down in front of the couch with Matt looking around confused. Jeremy and Damon were in the fall due to the handshaking. Elena and Stefan holding each other.
"What. The. Hell. Was. That." Damon says slowly looking at Vienna and Bonnie. Vienna looked at Bonnie's question.
"You did it again," Bonnie whispered. Vienna's eyes widen.
She groans and puts her hands in her face.
"Why does keep happening to me." She muttered pulling at her scalp. She moved back and forth for comfort.
She sighed as everyone looked confused at what happened, "It was me..."
"You?" Stefan questions looking confused.
"Yeah..me..." she looked him than at everyone else."..I'm not like a typical witch. My mother was a witch well my father was a werewolf. Due to my grandfather being a demon. I took after him..." she explains.
"Wouldn't that have made you a tribrid," Stephan asked.
"No. My witch side was suppressed."
"Wait. Does that mean Keira and your other siblings are demon/werewolf too? " Bonnie asked.
"God no. Only the firstborns get that honor.," she says sarcastically.
"So you're a hybrid. " Damon asked.
"Yep.." she monotone.
"How is that possible," Stefan says. "The only person I know who is a hybrid is-."
"Klaus Mikelson. " Vienna finished. Stefan and Damon narrowed her eyes at her when finished.
"Who's Klaus Mikaelson?.." Bonnie asked.
"He's a douche bag with alpha tendency, also an original vampire along with his family. Katerina is also part of his bloodline." Vienna tells her.
"Bloodline?" Caroline repeats confused.
"The bloodline is a powerful link that was sired by the originals," Stephan explained looking at Caroline.
Vienna nodded. The brothers looked at each other as they talked silently to each other.
"How do you know him?" Elena question. Now all eyes were on Vienna again.
"We cross path once a well back. I don't really know him, I just heard stories and compare them to the experience." She lies calmly.
"Is that it. " Stefan says finally speaking up. He looked at Vienna as she nodded."Okay." He blew out air.
"Alright, we get out of your hair. Thanks for explaining. " Stefan says as he and the others walked out of the house. She stood next to the door to send them off.
"See you at school tomorrow. Ms. Jean. " Matt says rubbing his head with the help of Caroline. "See you at school tomorrow," Caroline added. Vienna smiles and nodded.
"Yeah see you tomorrow Ms.J.," Tyler says walking out. Vienna halted Tyler for a minute. "Oh Mr.Lockwood I almost forgot.," she says quickly. " Detention Friday night. You really think I wasn't going to know you were skipping my class. " Tyler groan and stormed out. Bonnie, Elena, Stephan, and Damon were they last ones.
"See ya tomorrow, V" Vienna has her a look. "I mean Ms. Jean.," she says quickly.
"See ya tomorrow Ms. Bennett." She giggled as Bonnie smiled as she and Elena walked out. Elena smiles and you return the gesture.
Damon and Stephan stopped in the doorway. "See you at school, Ms.Jean." He says. Vienna smiles at him as he walks out following by his brother glaring at Vienna.
Vienna slammed her door shut and made a place back in bed. She shut off the lights. Tried to get rid of the bad feeling in her gut.
As weeks passed by being back in school, Vienna's bad feeling still didn't go away. As she was finishing up her lesson for today. The bell rings, signaling its time to pack up and go home.
"Don't forget. We have a quiz next week..." Vienna says as everyone groans well leaving. Bonnie and Elena rushed into her classroom, locking the door.
"Ms. Bennett and Ms.Gilbert, what can I do you for?" Vienna says facing the girls worried expression.
"Hey. What's wrong? What going on?" She asked they both rushed into her arms. Shaking Elena spoke. "K-klaus he's here. He's in M-mystic f-falls. He's-.." she sobs in Vienna's shoulder. "I don't wanna die, Vienna."
Vienna stood still as she watched the two girl who been through hell and back. Break down in front of her.
"Are you sure.." she mumbled looking at Bonnie as she had her arm over Elena's shoulder.
"He compelled a girl to ask Elena to the dance. Saying it was from Klaus." Bonnie's eyes were bloodshot. Feeling their fear, Vienna held tight in a motherly way.
"Everything's going to be alright..." she whispered softly to them. The slowly calm down and collected themselves.
"What are we going to do?" Bonnie asked.
"You and Elena are go straight to the Salvator house. Well I look for Klaus. " she says as she pack her stuff and lead the girls to their door.
As Vienna opens the door, Justin stand outside waiting. The three of them jumped at his appearance.
He chuckles and raises his hands."Woah. Hey it just me." He puts his hands down as the girls glared at him.
Vienna punched his chest making him wince in pain. "Dick. What the hell were you doing standing outside my door like a weirdo. " she hissed as they make their way down the hall.
"I was coming to talk to you. When you open the door..." as he tries to catch up with her and the girls. "Okay can we slow down. What got you guys so worked up?" Vienna stopped in her tracks and turn towards Justin. she glanced at the girl and than at him.
"Not right now, Justin...." Justin furrowed his brows. "I talk to you later." She said walking out leaving him behind as they meet up with Damon and Stefan.
"Klaus is here. You two need to get Elena and Bonnie to a safe place and protect them."
"Wait. Wait. Hold on!" Damon started as they girls stopped at Vienna's car. "If his here than there's gonna have to be a changed of plan." He said.
"What plan?" Elena asked.
"We draw him out. He already knows you just gonna hide out at the boarding house...." he says.
"So?" Vienna asked.
"So. He gonna go there. When he sees she not there but at the dance. That's when we strike. " he finished looking at Vienna and the girls.
📷
"That's the most stupidest plan I ever heard." Vienna said monotone making Damon glare at her. "Girls. Get in the car. I'm taking you to the house. " Vienna rushed. Damon snatched her car keys out of her hand held them away from her.
"Give me by keys back, bloodsucker." She hissed.
"No! It's the best thing we got...." He grumbled. As she tries to snatch the keys from him. "Anyways it's not up to you. It's up to Elena. " he said looking towards the girl.
"Listen here you fangy freak! We are not putting these kids at risk. I won't-" she got cut off.
"He's right..." Elena spoke up. Getting out of the car and standing next to Stefan and Damon. "He's right. Klaus after me and all I want is this to be over. So I say let's go with it. "
"Elena your in shock you don't know what you saying." Vienna reasoned trying I get through the young girl.
"He killed my mom, Vienna. I don't want to see anyone else's get hurt because of me. " Elena sniffles wiping at her nose with her sleeve.
Vienna looked at the girl for a minute before glancing at Alaric who was staring at her.
"Fine..." she sighs.
"But only if you stay by Stefan side. Be aware of your surroundings. God knows how many minions Klaus have running around here. Same thing goes for you too Bonnie and the others." she says putting her things in the back seat.
"Wait. What are you going to do ?" Bonnie asked as she watched you take off your heels and out of sneakers.
"I'm gonna find klaus before he finds you and Elena." Vienna get out of her car when Damon stops her.
"I'm coming with you. We can cover more ground together." He offers. Vienna thought about before shaking her head.
"No, two is better than one. .." she looked back at the girls. "You guys call me when you at the dance. Alright?" They nodded as they walked to Stefan car, well Vienna was getting ready to go. Justin came out.
"Vienna." He shouted across the parking lot.
"Justin, I told you. I talk to you later."
"I know. But you can't do this only not without me." Vienna was gonna ask what he was talking about when he pulled out two stakes, she looked at him shocked.
"What the hell...?"
"I know. What's going on and I'm going to help you."she stared at him cautiously.
"How?"
"After Alaric left. He asked me to look after the kids well he was gone..."
"So, your a....hunter?" He nodded.
"I know I should have told you but I...I didn't want to scare you away." Vienna slowly let her guard down.
"Ok. I fill you in on the road." She said driving out of the parking lot.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vienna and Justin drove around trying to find Klaus before pulling over and towards the woods
Vienna looked around trying to catch at scent.
"Uhhh what are you doing?" Justin drawled looking at Vienna oddly.
"I'm trying to catch his scent." She replied, walking deeper into the woods. Justin has his crossed bow on his back following Vienna.
📷
"That's a thing?" Vienna chuckled at his question.
"Yes Justin it's a thing." As she walked through the woods.
It's been 10 minutes since they been walking around and not talking to each other.
"Are you mad at me?" Justin spoke up. Vienna looked back and furrowed her eyebrows.
"No. Why would I be mad." She says turning toward and continue walking.
"For one you haven't spoken to me for the past ten minutes. Secondly about me agree with Damon about the plan." Justin stopped in his tracks as he watched Vienna stand still, making him make his way towards her.
Vienna wipe the sweat from her forehead. Put her hand on her hips. "I'm not mad. " she repeats. Taking a break.
"You sound mad." He stands in front of her.
"Well. I'm not so..." she huffed. Standing up straight and walking away from him.
"V, wait.." he jogged up to her to stop her from going farther.
"Justin we don't have time for this." She snapped at him as she tried to go around him. But he kept blocking her.
"No. Not until you talked to me." He looked desperately at her. She sighed.
"Fine! I'm mad. What he suggested was a dumb idea. Knowing damn well that it can get them killed." She snapped again glaring at him. "I mean really what were he thinking."
"He probably thought it was a good chance to get him before they get us. What's the big deal." He huffed.
"What's the big deal! The big deal is there kids Justin. They shouldn't be focusing on surviving the damn night. They should be focusing on prom and college.." Vienna breathe heavy. She shook her head and bite her lip.
📷
"..The fact that Klaus and Katerina is willing to kill a bunch of kids. Just to get what they want makes me want to find them even more. " she ranted. They stood there in silence.
"Vienna. I'm sorry I didn't mea-." He grabs her hand but she pulls it away.
"Forget it. Let's keep going. " Justin sighed as he watched her walk away.
Over three hours trying to find Klaus around town. They gave up. Justin drove to Vienna's house. Vienna went into the kitchen to receive two beers well Justin sat on the couch.
"Can't you use one of those locating spells." Justin shouted to Vienna as he got comfortable.
"No. If Klaus has help from witches which I'm pretty sure he does than it be impossible for me to sniff him out let alone locate him." She says making are way out of the kitchen and sitting next to Justin on the coach. She hand him a beer well she drinks from hers. Vienna was fidgeting on the couch trying to get comfortable. She huffed. Annoyed with everything and everyone. Justin watched as she space out. He can see her thinking too much.
"Come here.." he said snapping her out of her thoughts. She looked at him as he spread his legs. She looked at him confused. "Come on. I won't bite. " he grins making her roll her eyes. She scoot between his legs, leaning against his chest. He's hands went to her shoulder massaging her neck and back.
Vienna moaned as he hands dig deep into her neck and collarbone. Justin start kissing her neck leaving love bites. Vienna leans her neck to the side to get him more space. He slide his hands down to Vienna's waist gripping them tight. They both groan as Justin rubs up against Vienna. She turns around and straddling him.
"What about Jenna?" She asked curiously. Looking down at him.
"She not my type." He smirked. Pulling her back for a kiss.
He laid her down. Pulling her pants off. He pulled her shirt over head and brought her closer to kiss her lips. She kissed him back pulling him by his hair. He wrapped her legs around his waist, helping pull his shirt off. She unclamped her bra and threw it somewhere. As he unbuckle his pants.
📷
He lines himself up with her entrance before pushing into her. They both moaned out and held onto each other. He let her adjust before he started moving.
"God you feel so fucking good, Vee." He moaned into her shoulder as he slowly made love to her. He moved his hand down to rub her clit softly adding more pleasure. She threw her head back as they started to thrust at the same pace. They both were in bliss as he fucked her into the couch. They both moaned and groaned at the feeling of each other.
"I'm getting close." She moaned. He picked up the pace after this. This sent her into overdrive as the pleasure was 10x more now. She screamed his name loudly as her orgasm crashed into her like a ton of bricks. Seeing her come undone under him made him fuck her even harder until he came as well. Her juices and his cum slide down her leg as he pulled out.
Justin laid on top of Vienna for a bit before moving. He handed her back her bra and jeans. As they got dressed. Something about Alaric screwing her made it feel different. Like it was somewhat familiar to her. Not like the other they did it. Vienna walked Justin to the door.
He leans against the doorway looking at Vienna. "So I see you tonight." She asked.
"Maybe. I have somethings I have to do before I go. Save me a dance. "Her said.
"I think about it." She smirked He smiles and lean in to kiss the side of her mouth. "You later.." he whispered. Walking away from her doorstep and getting into his car driving away.
Later that day Vienna dressed up in her 60's clothes. She couldn't believe it been 71 years since the sixties. Even though the world was as fucked up as it was back then. It was still in a weird way beautiful. With the music and the dancing. The fashion. The drugs. Good time.
Vienna finished applying a bit of makeup on before grabbing her keys and purse. Thanks to Triple A, she got in her car and drove to the school. Pulling up in the teacher's parking lot, she makes her way into the building.
She walks into the half decorated gym. Looking around impressed at colors and decor, waving and greeting some of her students and fellow teacher.
"Anne. Is that you." A women said from behind her. Vienna turns towards the voice and surprise to see who it is.
"Jenna. Oh my god. It's good to see you. Nice outfit." Vienna says surprised hugging her, giving her thumbs up on her outfit.
"You like it. I had to go into the deep unknown for these clothes." She poses throwing up the peace sign. Vienna laughed at her tactic. Vienna chuckled nervous when Jenna asked about Alaric.
"..I haven't seen him. Since this morning. I hope everything okay." Vienna looked confused at Jenna.
"I didn't know you and Alaric. Are a thing together." she asked not sure if they were sleeping together or not.
"Yeah. I know it's soon but I don't know I feel a connection with him y'know." She glanced at Vienna fondly. Vienna agreed. she walked around with Jenna catching up.
Couple of hours passed by, the decade danced was in full swing. Loud music was playing and teenagers were laughing and talking to friends.
"Oh! If we get married you promise to be my bridesmaid." She giggled holding on to Vienna's arm. As they stopped at the table full of food. Jenna stuffed m&m in her mouth.
"Only if you don't put me in ugly colors. I'm down." Vienna and Jenna laughed. They was approached by one of the teacher. Something about Jeremy getting into a fight. Jean left to attend to her nephews, leaving Vienna alone. As she scan the room she saw Bonnie and Elena go with Alaric.
Curious, Vienna walked out of the danced and followed the trio. She looked up and down the hallway not seeing them. Following her gut and she went down the hallway, looking. As she get closer, she hears talking. She looked around the corner to see Elena and Bonnie few steps away from Justin.
Vienna listen as they talked until Bonnie got in front of Elena.
"Bonnie! No!" Vienna made her way towards the girl standing in front of her. Blocking Bonnie from Alaric (Klaus).
"Vienna. Get out of the way." Bonnie says her eyes set on a smirking Alaric (Klaus).
"No. Get back to the dance and wait for me there." Vienna eyes were on Alaric(Klaus) as he lean against the locker watching her.
"No way. I'm not leaving you here with this creep." Bonnie says angry.
"Bonnie! Listen to me I need you to go NOW." Vienna flashed Bonnie her eyes. Bonnie looked between Alaric (Klaus) and Vienna. She mouthed "be safe." Vienna smirked. As Elena dragged Bonnie away.
Vienna eyes turned back to normal. As she faced Klaus, he got off the lockers walked towards her.
"Hello, my love." Klaus held his nose as Vienna socked him. He groans in pain well Vienna's rubs her hand. She looks towards him as he recovers the blow.
"How long have you been here." She asked him. He looked at her wiping the blood from his nose. "What ever to you mean-." Vienna sped towards him, slamming him into the lockers.
"How. Long." She hand grasp his wrist making her black vein invade his veins. Causing him moan in pain.
"When I sent the doppelgänger the message at school." He groans. Vienna pulls away looking down at him.
"God. I can't believe this." She said in disgust, stepping away from him. He chuckled. "Why the long face, darling." Vienna was about attack him.
"Uh. Uh. Uh. If you hurt me. You hurt him." He gets up off the ground.
"When I thought you can't reach any lower Klaus, you do this.." She says looking at him hopeless. "Hurting innocents childern Your unbelievable."
He looked at her unbothered. "Your one to talk. The last time I remember. You left slaughtered villages in your mist." She looked down at her feet. Images of what she did burned in her memories.
"Now...I live with that everyday, I choose to do those things. Just like you can walk away from Mystic Falls and never come back." She says softy getting close to him. She looked into his eyes. He bring her in closed and kissed her.
"...I can't do that." He whispered in her ear, pulling away. Vienna wasn't fast to stop Klaus from breaking her neck. Klaus catches her as she fell limp in his arms. "It's okay, Marcy. Everything is gonna be okay." He kissed her forehead and picked her up bridal style and carries her to her car. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vienna woke up in her bed. She sat up quickly making her oozy. She held her head as she got up slowly. She makes her way down to the kitchen. She stops dead in steps when she sees an unfamiliar face in her kitchen. The mystery woman looks up from her phone.
"Look who's up. How you feel." The lady grins handing Vienna a cup of tea.
"Good..." she drawled looking the women up and down. Do I know her? "Good. You should drink that tea it will help with flushing out the Wolfsbane." The women took a seat at the dinner table.
Vienna looked down at her tea. Debating if she drinks or not. "Hey!" The woman says looking at Vienna with a sweet smile. "I promise you it's not poison."
Vienna made a face causing the lady to chuckled. Why does she feel so familiar? Vienna took a small sip from her tea. She gags at the bitter taste. Vienna looked at the women with disgust."I didn't say it was good." Rolling her shoulders, Vienna chugged the tea down. She shudders at the nasty taste.
"Who are you," Vienna says after a minute of recovering from that drink. The women pouted at Vienna.
"What? You don't remember your favorite aunt."
Vienna dropped her teacup. "Shit.." she cursed getting a broom and dustpan. After she cleans the glass off the floor. She made her way to sit next to her aunt.
"I missed you." She hugged her. Tamara wrapped her arms around the girl she loves dearly.
"Wait. What are you doing here." Vienna pulled away looking at her aunt puzzled.
"Well someone had to take care of you after that douche bag dump you off here." Tamara sassed. Vienna's eyes widen.
"I can't believe he injected me with wolfbane." She whispered. Tamara rubs her arm in comfort.
"How long have I been asleep?" Vienna asked as she rubs the spot he stabs her.
Tamara didn't make eye contact with Vienna. "Mara.," Vienna says narrowing her eyes on her. "For a well..." Tamara lies through her teeth. Tamara looked at Vienna who wore that same look that her sister wore when she can tell if she's lying.
Tamara mumbled. Vienna furrowed her eyebrow not catching it. "What?"
"I said 10 weeks," Tamara says softy. Vienna stares at her at aunt with a blank stare. She got and made her way into the living room. Tamara following closely behind.
"Where are you going," Tamara asked watching her niece grab her car keys.
"I'm gonna go kill ex-boyfriend." Tamara quickly snatched the keys out of her hand and but then in her back pocket. "As much as I want to see you gut that waste of space. You still weak from the after-effects." Vienna huffed knowing she's right.
"Fine." She walked to the coffee table and grabs her phone dialing Bonnie's number.
"Who you calling?" Tamara asked Ashe flopped down on the couch.
"Uhh...Bonnie, she's one of my students. I just going to see if she's okay." Tamara's eyes widen slapping Vienna's phone out of her hand.
"What the hell has gotten into you." Vienna groaned at her. She went to pick up her phone to find it scattered. She glared at Tamara.
"What going on. What you acting shady." Tamara presses her mouth in a straight line.
"Hello! Are you in there?" She snapped. Tamara bits her lip before speaking.
"You can't call her, or anyone at that matter" She says seriously. Vienna looked at her confused. "This isn't your battle to fight, V."
"I can't just them, klaus is still out there." Vienna said.
"I know but you are in any shape to deal with klaus." She watched as Vienna slowly fall apart. Her walls are building up again."...not yet anyways, I think its time for you to go home." Tamara came closer. Vienna looked at her. She shook her head.
eight months later
Vienna and Keira sat outside Cafe Beignet in New Orleans. Laughing and talking about school and work.
"So you got a dress for today," Vienna speaks up a little louder looking at her sister. As pedestrians talk among themselves. Keira shook her head.
"Yes. I also got you something as I was looking around. " She replied smiling. Vienna smiles back as she takes a bite from her croissant.
"Mmmhmmm. Do tell." Keira jeered rolling her eyes.
"I can't it's a surprise." She raised her eyebrow smiling wolfishly.
"Fine. Keep your secrets little sister. I found out eventually." She joked. Vienna giggled along with Keira. Anais and Yasmine walked up to them holding shopping bags.
"What is this?" Keira's eyes widen at the amount of bags her sisters brought. Vienna looked through the bags full of different dresses and shoes.
"What? You told me I can buy a few dresses." Anais says happily looking through her bags.
"Yeah a few. Not the whole store." Vienna and Yasmine laughed at their bickering. Yasmine tried to calm her breathing when her phone ranged. Vienna looked at her sister when she got off her phone.
"You're so annoying. Like you can't do one simple thing." Keira groans. Rolling her at her eyes at her sister. Anais counter back.
"Says the girl. Who almost burnt down our summer home in Hampton last year." Anais smirk cheeky as Keira faced fall. Yasmine palm her faced.
"What! How?" Vienna looked at Keira stern. As she shrinks in her chair. Vienna turned towards Anais.
"Where were you. When this happened." Frowning in embarrassment for setting herself up.
"I-uh...I there I just..um..what was the question?" She strutted. Yasmine shook her head.
"Where. Were. You. When. It. Happened?" Vienna says slowly.
"I can answer that.." Anais looked at Keira pleading with her not to tell. ".. she was over some dudes house doing gods knows what." Keira gave Anais a sweet smile and went to take a sip of her sweet tea.
"Okay. I'm not mad, more disappointed. But when we get back you both will be punished..." Both groan and crosses their arms. Yasmine patting Anais and Keira's shoulders.
"I bring the car around." She says already walking away. The girls went through their phones waiting for Vienna.
*Honk* *Honk*
Anais and Keira grab the bags walked to the car, pushing each other to get into the front seat. Yasmine shove passed them to the passenger seat putting her headphones on, causing the girls to huffed and make their way to the back.
Vienna chuckled and got in, as she drove home. Her thoughts couldn't help but wonder. How she got up and moved back home. How easily she sold her house she lived for so long. Forgetting about the friends, she made out through the years.
After Tamara explain what happened to her and her brothers. Small pieces of memories came back but not all. It was like they were reborn.
Vienna snaps out of her thoughts, pulling up to their manor. Once in the house, Vienna makes her way to Kai's study.
She knocks before coming in, to see him hunched over his desk. Looking at documents. She clears her throat to catch his attention. He looks up tired, rubbing his eyes under his glasses. He motion Vienna to take a seat.
"How was shopping with the girls." He asked going back to his papers.
"Tiring.." she chuckled. He grins. Vienna gets up and goes to his bookcase and looking at a couple of photos but one catches her eye, she sees an old photograph of her, Kai, and Avery. She sighs as she picks up the frame.
She giggled," You remember this." She held up another frame of them in 1918. The boys just came back from the war.
"Yeah. You remember how drunk we got that night." She grins at the memory.
"Yeah. You were a wild card back then doing things you knew you shouldn't be doing. " He gave her a look.
"What you suspect from a girl who was once a queen. I didn't allow men to talk down to me than what made you think I let them do it at that point." Vienna smiles at the memories of her wild days. She looked back at Kai taking off his glasses giving her a tired smile.
"When the last time you had a decent sleep, old-timer." She asked concern.
"I sleep. I just don't sleep as I use too." Kai grabs his cane next to his chair and stood up making his way towards his sister. Vienna offered him her arm which he gladly took.
They walked down the halls, not saying a word just enjoying the silence between them. Vienna's mind drifted to a memory.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Harlem,1915
Vienna was cooking lunch well Kai(Cairo) lounge at the head of the table, when Avery came busting through the door. Sweaty and breathing hard, Kai and Vienna peeved at him as he tried catching his breathe.
"You-you w-wouldn't b-believe w-what....gosh i need to start working out again." He put his hand over his chest leaning against the table. Vienna moves passed him sitting in the chair.
"Did you run here from work?" Kai asked putting the paper down. Avery nodded. Vienna passed him a glass of water. He thanked chugging it all down in one go.
"Easy there cowboy." Vienna jest as he start a coughing fit. Kai patted Avery on the back. "You alright." He nods again trying to catch his breathe.
"So, why you running in here like a chicken without his head." Vienna fanned herself as she looked to her brother.
"I was in Brooklyn and-"
"What you doing in Brooklyn?" Kai interrupts.
"I was there helping out a friend. When I was approached by a women. She gave me this. " taking out a piece of paper and handing it to Vienna. " she said it's a spell to reverse the curse mother put on us." Kai snatched the paper outta Vienna hand looking over it.
"What is this Latin?" He squint. Vienna snatched the paper back looking it herself.
"No old norse." She looked up to Avery." Did you see the women who gave it to you."
"Who cares. We finally could put a end to this misery." Kai says glowing. He searched high and low to find a cure for this disease there mother store upon them. But he always came up empty. He heard about a cure but he always thought it was rubbish.
"Of course it matters. For all we know this could be one of mothers followers trying to get pay back or worst." She told them looking back down at the paper.
For some reason Vienna felt different than the other times, when they were close to finding a cure.
"Marcella?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Vienna" Vienna looked towards her brother puzzled. She realized they were on the balcony.
"Yes?" She asked softy. He tired eyes bore in hers, grabbing her hands as he spoke. "Are you alright, little sister." Vienna smiled nodding.
He before he can say anything he start coughing, panicked Vienna called for a maid. She rub his back as a maid came to give him is medicine and water.
Vienna thanked her as she went back to her duties.
"Come on. Let's get you to bed." She stood up helping Kai to his feet. "What about the dinner party." He asked biliously as she open the door for him.
"We can have it another time. " Vienna says walking him to his bedroom. "No, no, no I'm fine I'm fine. For all I know this may be the last time I see our family together again." He said as Vienna helps him into bed. She glared at the way he talked. "Fine but stop talking like that okay." She heard him softy groan in distaste well getting him settle in the bed.
"Alright."
"But you using the wheelchair." He scoffed at the mention of the metal chair, "I'm not that old to be using that darn thing."
"Of coarse you're not big brother." She kissed his forehead. Waved his hand towards her shooing her away.
"I come get you when the foods ready..." she giggles heading to his door. He mumbled an 'alright' fell to sleep.
Vienna closed the door softy behind her, walking down the hall to the library.
She walked inside to see her (very) great niece with a book to her face. "Azalea?" The girl looked up with glee to see her aunt.
📷
"Auntie V" Azalea rushed into her arms. Vienna Hughes her tight making her groan.
"I missed you. How's school." They sat down, Azalea put the book on her lap as she answered. "It's alright, because being the new kid is super fun." Vienna look at her sadly patting her knee.
"Enough about me how about you. How's everything been since I last saw you." Azalea asked.
"Gosh you sound like my therapist." She jested bumping shoulders with her. "It's been good." She nodded as they begin to talk about others things.
Vienna got a text from Luka. "What is it?"
"Just Luka. He said dinner starts in five minutes. We should get going." Vienna stood up follow by Azalea.
"Before we go. Can we go visit grandpa." She asked. Vienna smiles and nodded putting her arm around Azalea.
They walked down hall to Kai's room. Azalea opened the door to see Kai gone. Vienna furrowed her eye brow.
"One of the maids must have took him to the dinner hall." She mumbled to Azalea. She nodded her head in agreement.
Walking into the hall, they saw no one. They walked down stairs to the pool area. Finding Yasmine and Keira talking.
"Hey. Where's everybody." Azalea asked looking around.
"We were gonna asked you the same thing." Yasmine says.
"Did you guys get a call from Luka." Keira asked. Looking at her phone.
"Yeah. But he texted me.Why?"
"He called and he sounded weird." Keira phone binged making her gasp. They gathered around her to see a picture from Luka's phone.
"What is that? Is that a graveyard?" Azalea asked terrified. Looking at Yasmine and Vienna.
Another message came in telling them to meet him there. Now.
"Meet him there? Where is there?" Keira asked confused.
"Their like hundred graveyards in New Orleans. How are we supposed to find that one?" Yasmine says scowling.
"Let me see." Keira handed her phone over Vienna. She closely at it. Her brain clicked.
"I know where he is." Vienna makes her way to the front of the house. The girls follow behind as they gathered in the car.
"Well where is he?" Vienna started the car and driving to the location.
"Black Ruins Pierre Cemetary."Azalea looks confused.
"We have cemetary named after us."
"Yeah something like that. It was built for the honor of our grandmother."
"You mean your mom." Vienna stopped out a red light.
"No, your great grandmother was very popular in New Orleans. A good healer unlike some of the people here due to her kind heart, they built that place for her and our family as a thank you. " She says mildly.
Soon enough Vienna pulled up to the cemetery. She got out and looked around. She faces the car window looking at her sisters and niece.
"Stay here. I'm gonna seek out the place."
"What? You can't go by yourself. What if this a trap. We need to stick together." Keira says gravely.
"She's right. We are stronger in numbers." Yasmine piped up getting out of the car.
Vienna looked at her sisters and sighed." Fine. But stay closed. If this is a trap, we need to be cautious."
They make their way inside, as they walked further. Vienna and the girls came upon the mausoleum that held their grandparents, aunts and uncles, and Avery. The walked passed it to continue their search for their brother.
Vienna came to a stop when she saw someone they were looking for,"Luka.." he sat on a bench looking at the sunset calmly.
"...Luka?" Yasmine called to her twin brother worrisome. She walked close to him, Vienna tried to stop her. Yasmine just kept walking towards him.
She put her hand on his shoulder, he looked at her with bags under his eyes. She noticed his eyes were bloodshot.
"Lou. What you doing here? Where's the twins?" She asked stammered. As she looked into his blank stare.
He turn away from her,"They fine. They at peace." He mumbled. Yasmine looked back at Vienna, seeing her on the phone with somebody.
"Lou. What are you talking about?" He gets up, making Yasmine back up. He looked down at her. "I have a message to you and your sisters..." he looked blankly at all of them.
"...come to Mystic Falls, if you don't your never get her back." Luka says monotone. He snaps out of the stance and looked at his sister confused.
"What happened? Why are we in a cemetery." He looks around, Yasmine hugged him tightly,"I tell you later.." Vienna smiles towards them, as the walked back to the car.
Keira watches as unfamiliar faces come in into her house carrying coffins. Vienna got out of the car telling her siblings to stay, Keira watches as her sister talked to the man. Keira looks as Vienna face morph into distraught.
She gets out of the car well her family calls for her to come back. She runs to the back of the house to the sliding door. She looks around, before making her way upstairs.
She goes into Elias and Anais's room to see coffins, She stops at Cairo's bedroom, someone grabs her shoulder causing her to panicked and use her magic to slam them up against the wall.
📷
She looks at the person to find, Vienna looking shocked at her. She drops her sister to her feet,"sorry, you scared me." She muttered turning her attention back to the door sadly. Vienna came up behind her putting her arm around her shoulder. "What happened to them?"
Vienna looked down at her sister,"Come on." she leads a her to the stairs to the living room with the rest of her family waiting.
"Thanks for coming on such short notice.." Vienna started as Keira sat between Yasmine and Luka. "What happened?" Vienna's cousin Marge asked worriedly with her husband and son.
"...Someone compelled Luka into poisoning the Elias and Anais." Everybody gasped looking at Luka, he bowed his head in shame. Their grandmother, Joyce ,taught them how to have a strong mind when dealing with vampires or witches. Due to Anis and Elias being witches, well Luka werewolf and Yasmine being a witch they had to learn from a very young age.
"We're not saying it's his fault. The person who did this used dark magic to take hold of him, he couldn't get through to himself even if he wanted..." Luka gave Vienna a nod, she gave him a small smile.
📷
"What did he do them?" Keira asked looking at Vienna, everybody had their eyes on V waiting for her response.
"I don't know it hard to tell."
"What happened to Grandpa? Is he like the Anais and Elias. "Someone else says. Vienna looked at her families faces. The fear, the uncertainty, and the dread to what had happen to him.
"He died..." Luka sob along with his sister busted into tears, Yasmine held as she put her head on his shoulder well rubbing his back. He held her closed. "...he-he passed away in his sleep, natural causes-" Vienna sobs stopping to hold her chest as tears ran down her face.
📷
"The funeral will be in three days time. That's why I want everybody to reside to the compound for further notice." Everybody mumbled over each other getting up and making their way out. Only a couple stayed to help out with the arrangements.
Luka and others walked up to Vienna.
"Thanks." He thanked. She smiled at him bringing him into a hug." It wasn't your fault." She comforts him, as he nods.
"So when do we live for mystic falls?" Azalea says.
"Not we. Me." Vienna says as she walks out of the house to the back. She stood on the balcony with her siblings and niece gathered.
"You can't be seriously thinking on going by yourself." Yasmine shot. Vienna looked at her stern. "Yes. I'm serious. There no way in hell. I'm gonna risk y'all lives."
"What if it's a trap?" Azalea argued. Her and the others following Vienna down the stairs to the garage.
"If it is a trap. Then I deal with it." She open a cabinet where she kept her spell book and elixir.
Vienna, Luka, and Yasmine started bickering. Azalea tried to calm Yasmine down as she shout her sister.
"Stop it!" Keira exclaimed. Everybody looked at her."We just lost our brother today. Elias and Anais are in a comatose. The last thing we need is to fall apart." She says sadly. Vienna and Yasmine looked at each other. They nodded their head.
Before Keira can stay any else. Luka clutched his heart and fell against his black car. He started coughing up blood, Vienna and Yasmine went to his side as Azalea and Keira stood to the side out her sisters way.
"His been poisoned." Yasmine says looking into his eyes as she starts looking through his pockets. She pulled out a tiny bag with mistletoe. Vienna looked at the bag and looked at him, she pulled him up with the help of Yasmine. She went to her cabinet to pull out some elixir. She went back to him forcing him to drink a black milky substance, he swallowed the mixture.
After a second he vomited up everything. He lean against his car, trying not to fall. Luka with the help of Yasmine and Vienna made his way to his room. His eyes flashes towards his sister, making her out two fingers against his forehead and fall asleep.
Keira and Azalea waited in the dinner room for Yasmine and Vienna. After a couple of minutes, they came into the kitchen.
"Is he okay?" Keira rushed out getting up out of her seat.
"He be fine. The drink I gave him help get the mistletoe out of his system. But he gonna have to take it easy for few days." Yasmine faces grew angrier as she paced.
"Do you think the man force him to eat it?" Azalea says shakily.
"It's possible." Vienna says grimly.
Keira watches Vienna than she looked at Yasmine. All her life she never seen her family in so much pain. She never seen them so sad, not since Avery's death. Even then, they wasn't as broken, they didn't grieve his death they celebrated it. They told stories about him. He lived on, just like Cairo would too.
Keira been protected all her life by her sisters and brothers. Having something like this happened, first Cairo, then Elias and Anais. Now Luka, she felt flare in her sparked. A new feeling. Keira wanted vengeance.
Before leaving, Vienna talked to her aunts Melinda Hines, Alpha of the Lucent Creek Pack, and her sister Sage Hines, Leader of the Blood Moon Coven, of the situation at hand and how long they are gone. They hugged their family goodbye and went on the road.
As they drove by the,” Welcome to Mystic Falls” sign. Vienna looked at the review mirror at Keira, ever since Luka almost died, she seemed out of it. She turned her attention back to the road as she makes her way into town.
She drove around the place until she stops at her old home. She and the others get out and make their way to the door.
“I thought you said you sold it,” Keira says walking in, looking around.
“I did. I called the relator, and asked for the keys back.” She set her bags down on the couch as she went into the kitchen. Not too long after, she walked out with a plate of cookies in one hand.
“Uhhhhuh so when you said you asked for the keys back, you meant you compelled her to give them back to you.” Keira sassed.
“You say tomato, I saw tomato,” she giggled sitting the plate on the coffee table. Keira and Azalea dig in.
“Let me guess you asked her to make cookies as well?” Azalea's mouth full of cookies says as they all laughed at her action.
“..maybe,” Vienna smirks, sitting down next to Yasmine on her loveseat. Keira shocked her head grabbing another cookie.
“Not to ruin the fun.,” Yasmine announced, wiping the cookie crumbs off the side of her mouth. “But how are we gonna find this guy. We don’t know what he looks like or if he's even in this town.”
“He wouldn’t have sent us here if he wasn’t here.” Vienna countered as looked at the clock over her tv.
“We won't get much work done today, so I’m calling it a night. I see ya in the morning.” Vienna says walking close to the stairs.
“Goodnight V”
“Goodnight.”
“Goodnight Vienna”
She waved as she makes her way up the stairs. Yasmine was the second to dispatches to bed. Saying her nights to her sister and niece. They waved as she made it upstairs as well, just living the two teens by themselves.
Keira waited a minute before hearing the door closed.” Come on.” She motion for Azalea to follow her out the sliding door.
As they walked outside to the backyard, “Kay what you doing?!?” Azalea panicked as she watched Keira jumped over the emblem fence to her neighbors' house.
“It’s your turn,” Keira shouted whispering. Azalea looked around and back up.
“There no way. I’m not doing this.” She shouted back softy.
“Come on. Live a little.” Keira says waiting for Azalea. She didn’t get a response, after a well she heard grunting and see Azalea trying to come over the fence.
“I got you-“ Azalea lost her balance and fell on top of Keira. They both groan in pain as they lay there on the grass.
“I think I can taste my own liver.” Azalea moans getting off the ground. She helps Keira up and they make their way towards the front.
They walked the opposite way from their house. Keira looked around at her old neighborhood, she sighs.
Azalea turns her attention to Keira, she bumped her shoulder. "What got you down in the dumps? I thought you missed this place.” She said.
“I am-I just...” she doleful as she looks up at the sky. “I wish we were normal.” She whispered Azalea nodded understanding.
“I mean don’t get me wrong. I love my witch lineage and I love magic. But sometimes I wish my mother just...” she downcast, playing with her fingers.
“What?” Azalea question
“....left us for dead..” she mumbled grimly. Azalea's eyes bugged.
“Keira...” She says weakly, Keira shook her head.
“I know. I know. I shouldn’t talk like that..” she sighed
“Keira..” She grabs her hand, making Keira turn to her.
“I know its a horrible thing to say-“
“Keira!” Azalea cut her off, Keira looked at her with widened eyes.
“It’s okay. I’m not judging you. Sometimes I feel the same way..”Keira looked questionably at her.
“I always thought maybe if I never was born my mom would still be alive and my dad would have stayed. Grandpa wouldn’t have to hate me.” She blubbered.
“Lea you know that’s not true. Avery loved you more than anything.” Keira revealed holding her shoulders as Azalea wipe the tears away from her eyes.
”Then why did he send me away.” She sniffles.
Keira sadly watches her cry not knowing how to reply. “You reminded him so much of your mother...” Azalea looked up at Keira.
“Really?”
“Yeah. From what I heard she was smart, beautiful, and the best thing that happened to him. Like you.” She smiles, Azalea engulfs Keira in a hug. “Thank you.”
“Anytime.”
They continued their walk to the town square, both enjoying silence that fell between them. Azalea spoke up. When they took a seat under a tree.
“Hey.” Keira looked up from her milkshake they brought.
“Yeah.” Azalea hesitates before saying what she always wanted to ask. “What the deal with our family.”
“What you mean?” Keira says confused as she takes a sip.
“What you said earlier. About your mom and stuff.” She asked gently. Realization etched its way onto Keira's face, she sat her drink to the side.
“I only know what I was told.”
“Which is?”
“That my brothers and sister killed my mother. That before she died she cursed my family. That she put her own flesh and blood in a comatose just to get a point across.” Keira monotone. Azalea looked taken back at Keira, she never seen Keira look so grim.
“What happened to your father?” Azalea asked shocked at the information.
“We don’t know. The last time Vienna and Kai saw him he was remarried....with kids.”
“I’m sorry,” Azalea muttered.
“No, it’s okay. It not like I knew them or anything. They just a broken memory from the past.” Keira stares blankly ahead. Azalea rested her head on Keira’s shoulder, locking her arm around hers. Keira looked at Azalea and smiled well resting her head on Azaleas. They stared at the scenery in front of them, living in the moment.

Azalea and Keira started to leave when they saw the lights of shops turn off one by one. Keira ended up convincing Azalea to sneak into her old high school football field.
They race to the middle of the field, Keira tackled Azalea to the ground. She laughed as she watched Keira act like a jork.
“Yeah! Timberwolves for life. Superior! Superior! Superior!” She chants jumping around and making a mean face well flexing her muscles. Azalea laughs as she watches from the grass.
“Do they really say that.” She asked giggling as Keira pop down beside her.
“No. But I imagine they do before every game.” She chuckled as the lay on the dry grass, looking up at the stars.
“Look a shooting star.” Azalea pointed.
“Make a wish.”
“I wish we can be like this forever.” Azalea and Keira looked at each other and smiled. They do not surprise when they thought the same thing, since the age of three they were inseparable. They were more sisters than aunt and niece.
As they enjoy the starry night sky, a weird sound came from the school. Both Azalea and Keira sat up and looked towards the school.
“Let's go check it out” Keira grins as she gets up, Azalea got up and gave her a deadpanned look.
“No thanks I choose life.” She turns away from the school and starts making her way out of the field. Keira grabs her hand stopping her.
“Come on, Lea you said you always wanted to go on an adventure. Here your chance to shine .” Keira jokes
“I was five and that was before I knew our family was made up of werewolves and witches.” She argued.
Before Keira can try to convince Azalea, they looked and heard screams coming from the school.
“On the other hand...” Keira says backing up slowly.
“What?” Azalea looked at Keira mockingly.” I thought you wanted an adventure.”
“That was before I knew there was a possible murder in the school.”
Another scream came from the school making the girls jump. Azalea went to her back pocket for her phone and start dialing.
“What are you doing?” Keira asked looking at Azalea put her phone to her ear.
“Calling 911.” Keira froze for a minute before snatching Lea’s phone and putting it out of her reach.
“Keira what the hell! Give me my phone back.” Azalea asked anger. Keira shook her head no.
“Didn’t you feel that.” Keira breathes looking at her Lea.
“Feel what?” She snapped as she tried to snatch her phone away. But Keira was faster than her.
“Lea just stop and wait!” Azalea scolds at Keira as they stand in silence. After a moment Azalea spork up.
“This is crazy. Keira gives me my phone so I can call-“ Azalea froze as she felt the powerful surge that ran through her body.
“What was that?” Azalea looked at Keira worried.
“I don’t know but what I do know is it came from over there.” She pointed at the school.
“We should call V,” Azalea says
“Good idea.” She handed Azalea's phone back to her before she can dial V’s number. Before Azalea can call her sister a woman appeared in front of them catching them off guard.
“Well, well, well. Look what we have here.” They looked towards the women scared. Azalea clenched Keira’s arm tightly, as Keira stood by her side. The girls backed up slowly as the women stalked towards them slowly like a predator to his prey.
The veins came from the women’s eyes, scaring the teens.
“Leave the human alone Rebekah we have bigger fish to fry.” A man came up behind her says looking at the two grimly.
“Come on, Nik I hadn’t had a decent meal all day. I’m tired of drinking from a blood bag like an animal. I want the real thing.” She smirks as the girls stared frightening at them.
Keira ears peaked up at the man's name, she stared at him for a bit before making him stare dead in her eye causing her to look away.
“Fine just be quick.” He said his face morphing the same as the girl.
They both stalked towards the girls, Keira spoke before they came any closer.
“Wait, wait, wait. Your Nik right as in Niklaus Mikaelson.” She stuttered as they back up further from the pair.
“Yes, darling now be a good girl and stay very still.” He launched at her which caused her to fling him back, knocking into his sister in the process.
Azalea and Keira started running, Klaus speeds towards Azalea pulling her back to him, Rebekah does the same to Keira. Before they can drain them Keira spoke up again.
“If you kill us, Vienna would never forgive you.” She shouted Klaus looked down at the teen in surprise as she said his wife’s name. He loosens his grip on her arm making her put some distance between them.
“How do you know Vienna?” He snapped looking at the girl suspiciously. Keira gulp looking at Azalea.
“I tell you if you let her go.” She motioned to Azalea, Niklaus looked at Keira then at Azalea. He nodded towards his sister who rolled her eyes releasing the teen.
“Now tell me how you know my wife.” He glared at the two teens intensely, making them shudder.
“She’s my sister.” She says looking at him. Rebekah sneers at the Keira.
“Lair! Vienna siblings have been dead for over a thousand years.” Rebekah started walking closer.
“She’s not lying it’s the truth. We’re related to Vienna.” Azalea spoke up looking at Rebekah.
“Prove it.” The girls looked at him.
“What?” Keira asked hesitantly
“Prove that you are Vienna’s sister.” Keira and Azalea looked at heat each other.
“Roll up your sleeve,” Azalea mumbles to Keira, she looked at her Azalea taken back.
“What?” She says taken back as she watches Azalea roll up her sleeves.
“Roll. Up. Your. Sleeves.” She said annoyed, Keira put her hands up in surrender as she rolls up her sleeves.
“See.” Azalea brought here and Keira’s arm closer to show him an odd birthmark. He grabs Azalea’s arm surprise to see the same mark on Vienna on the girls.
“Only the women in our family have this birthmark.” She says softly he let her arm. Klaus steps back and turns to whisper something to his sister.
Rebekah looked at the two before nodding. He pulled back and walked to Keira and Azalea, they both alerted took a step back. As he got closer he pulled something out his pocket. He stood in front of them looking down at them. He moved his hand in front of them.
The girls looked at him curiously before watching his next move. He poured the purple dust in his hands and suddenly blew it in Keira’s face making her cough.
“Keira!” Azalea grabs her aunt as she fainted in her arms. Before she can process what happened, Klaus blew the purple stuff into Azalea’s face making her cough. Klaus catches both girls as they went limp in his arms.
Rebekah took Azalea and sped home well Klaus looked down at Keira he heard her groaned.

He smirked,” She has Vienna’s eyes.” Thought before spending into the night.
“Lea get up.” Keira says trying to shake her awake.
“Five more minutes.” She mumbles, Keira shook her even more causing her to groan.
“Wake. The. Hell. Up.” She said each word as she hit Azalea with a pillow repeatedly. She sat up and snatched the pillow from Keira’s hand and hit her in the face.
She rubs her face trying to wake up, she glanced at Keira who was still holding her face.
She shook her head at her dramatic sister, she gets out of bed and looking out the big window.
“Where are we?” She asked as she saw someone pull up in the driveway.
“No idea,” Keira says standing next to her, they look around the room for shoes and made their way downstairs. As they descended the stairs they saw Niklaus and his sister Rebekah talking to two men.
The foursome looked towards Keira and Azalea, the girls stood awkwardly as they stare at them.
“You up, good. Breakfast is ready.” Klaus says to the girls, he turns to his sister.
“Rebekah mind showing our guest to the kitchen.” Rebekah rolled her eyes groaning and walked to the kitchen. The girls following shortly after, as they take a sit a the island. Rebekah went into the fridge to grab some blood bags, they watched in amusement as she drunk them.
“What?” Rebekah snapped at them making them go back to eating their breakfast. Niklaus walked into the kitchen getting handed a blood bag by Rebekah, as he finished draining the blood.
They all sit there in silence when another man they haven’t met before walked in, he stops in his track seeing the girls.
“Hello..” he greeted politely, the girls gave him a small smile, returning the gesture.
“Niklaus can I talk with you in the other room.” He says calmly watching his brother open another blood bag.
“Whatever you gonna say you can say it in front of our guest.” Niklaus grins at his brother. Elijah clenched his jaw and stare at the girls.
“Can you excuse us please.” Elijah says gently. Keira and Azalea looked at Klaus than Elijah, they nodded and left living Klaus,Rebekah, and Elijah alone.
Klaus rolls his eyes as they walked out, he lean off the island and start making his way towards the living room. Elijah and Rebekah follows behind.
“You mind telling me what’s going on here?” He speaks watched his brother make himself a drink. Klaus sat on the chair near the fire, as Rebekah flopped on the coach.
“Whatever do you mean brother?” Klaus says sarcastically taking a sip of his whiskey.
“Is not the time for games Niklaus. We have other things at foot, it’s not the time to play house. Get rid of them.” He says sternly. Klaus glanced at his brother then turn his attention back to the fire.
“Fine. If you won’t then I will.” He sigh before he can get anywhere near the stairs, Klaus sped towards Elijah blocking his way. Both glaring at each other, Rebekah pulled Elijah away from Klaus before the hybrid do something he regrets.
“Enough. Both of you.” She snaps keeping her hand on Elijah’s chest.
Both brothers glared at each other until Elijah saw Keira and Azalea make their way down the stairs. Klaus turns towards them in surprise.
“Listen, I don’t know what’s going on here. But we don’t want any part of this, just let us go and we promise we won’t tell Vienna anything.” Azalea pleads as she look towards Niklaus, no one can see it but Elijah’s eyes widen before his face became neutral again at the mention of his brother’s lover.
“You know I can’t do that,love.” Klaus says making his way back to the living room, the girls follow after him.
“We’re not your prisoners, you can’t keep us here forever.” Keira says
“Your right your not my prisoners. But until I get what I want you will stay here under my watchful eye.” Keira narrowed her eyes at Klaus’s words.
“...and what is that you want.” Azalea asked uncertain
“The cure.” Klaus says mildly
“The cure?” Azalea countered looking at him confused. Keira downcast,”The Cure? What does that sound so familiar.” She looked back up catching Klaus staring at her.
“I think you sister knows what I’m talking about.” Klaus smirked tilting his head to the side. Azalea frowned at Klaus as she looked to Keira for answers.
“Kay what’s he talking about?” Keira looked at her and shrugs.
“I don’t know.” She shrugged looking at Azalea.
“Keira.” Azalea says sternly. She crossed her arms, watching Keira frowned.
“I swear I have no idea what his talking about.” Azalea gave her a look making her roll her eyes.
“Lea I’m telling you the truth I don’t know what he’s talking about. But..” she looked to Klaus.
“...I know who probably do.” Klaus raised his eyebrows telling her to continue.
“...Vienna.” Klaus sat up on the coach, as Rebekah and Elijah glanced at each other at the mention of Vienna.
“How would Vienna know anything about the cure?” He said.
Keira shrugged,”No idea all I know is I felt like I heard it before even before the curse...”
“What is the last thing you remember about the Old World?” Elijah asked
“Nothing. I couldn’t remember anything before the year 1995.”
“The year you woke up.” Azalea says as Keira nodded.
“So, if you and sisters aren’t here for the cure than why are you here.” Rebekah asked confused.
Azalea and Keira glanced at each other.
“Back home there was an attack, someone used dark magic to compelled our brother Luka to harm our sisters, Elias and Anais. He sent us a message saying to come to Mystic Falls or we never see our family again....” Azalea started watching as Elijah stood next to the fire and Rebekah sat next across from Klaus.
“... At first we thought he took Elias and Anais but after we came home they were in coffins with a dagger in their chest.” Rebekah grimace at the mention of the dagger as Azalea kept talking.
“He-he ended up forcing Luka to poison himself... so that’s why we’re here.” Azalea stammered.
“Are they alright..” Everybody looked a Rebekah surprised.
“Yeah..yeah their alright. Can’t say the same for Cairo tho.” Keira says sadly.
“What happened to Kai?” Rebekah asked.
“He-he...uhhh..he died in his sleep. When the attack was happening.” Keira croaked.
Rebekah bite her lip,”...poor Avery, he must be devastated.” She mumbled. The Keira glanced at Azalea who looked heartbroken at the mention of her grandfather.
“Excuse me.” She sniffle in make her way out of the living room towards the kitchen.
The Mikaelson’s siblings looked towards Kiera confused.
“Avery died last year. She missed the funeral, and haven’t been good since...” Keira says dreary, Rebekah gasp at the new information. As Azalea make her way back in the room everybody looked towards her with pity.
“You okay?” Keira asked putting her hand on her shoulder. Azalea gave her a weary smile nodding.
Silence fill over them as they soaked in the new information.
Keira crossed her arms and started thinking about the predicament, and an idea came to mind. Azalea glanced at Keira and raised her eyebrow.
“I know that look, what are you thinking.” Azalea says knowingly.
“What if we cast a memory spell. If I can go back and see what happened to me and the others maybe we both get the answer we’re looking for...” Klaus and his siblings nodded their in agreement.
“So you guys know any powerful witches around here?” Azalea asked. Rebekah and Klaus looked at them weird.
“What?” The said unison.
“Aren’t you witches?” Rebekah asked.
“Well...I mean..we are- it just that..we don’t really know how to use our powers.” Keira says awkwardly. Klaus rolled his eyes and stood up.
“Alright...I'll be back within the hour for your witch in no time. Keep an eye on them if they anything like their sister they find a way to escape.” He whispered the last part to his brother.
“We heard that, and I thought you said we weren’t prisoners.” Azalea grumbled at Klaus as he grabs his jacket make his way towards the door.
“Your not but you can’t be too careful,Ladybird.” He yells back, slamming the door behind him.
Azalea made a face at Nicklaus nickname for her, she shook away the odd feeling as she and Keira sat where Klaus was moments ago.
“So...” Rebekah spoke up, catching the girls attention, ”... how do two witches related to the strongest witch of all time and not know how use their powers.”
“The same way a mother doesn’t like her kids to be outside after dark...” Keira sassed making Rebekah glare at her.
“...what she means to say is that, ever since we were kids. Vienna always protected us, she was the surrogate mother and sister no one knew they needed...” Azalea started shooting a glare at Keira before turning her attention back to Rebekah.
“...She didn’t want us practicing magic just yet. We were suppose to start the day after our annual dinner but y’know.” She mumbled the last part, Rebekah nodded in understanding of Azalea and Keira’s situation.
“Where is my manners, I didn’t introduce myself I’m Elijah. Klaus’s older brother.” Elijah went forward towards the girls and shook their hands.
“Hello Elijah, I’m Azalea and this is my sister Keira..”she smiled at him as he shook Keira’s hand next.
“I didn’t even know. Your mother had another child..”he replied
“She didn’t, Azalea is actually my great niece. When I first woke up physically I was 3 years old and around that time Azalea was the same age. So you can imagine calling her niece wasn’t really sitting right with us. “ Keira finished.
Elijah chuckled at Keira response as he took a sit next to Azalea. Not an minute went by when Klaus rushed backed in with a stranger. Everybody turned their attention towards him and the girl.
“Bunny?” Keira says confused as Azalea frowned at the girl name.
“Bunny? Really?” Rebekah giggled looking at Keira , then raising her eyebrow at Bonnie.
“Bonnie was my babysitter when I was a kid and I start calling her bunny because she always wear bunny ears back in middle school.” Keira explains smiling at the memory.
“I was going through a phrase back then...” she says awkwardly as the Mikaelsons looked at her in surprised.
“...anyways Kiera what are you doing here. Vienna been looking for you and her sister for two days...” she asked concern.
“Its a long story, I promise I explain it to you later but- wait did you just say missing for two days?” Keira stopped herself as she looked bug eyed at Bonnie as she nods.
Keira looked towards her sister to find her glaring at Klaus as he watch them.
“We been asleep for two days. Are you kidding me?!?” Azalea shouted as she start pacing.
“Y-yeah...Vienna threaten us to tell her where you were but when we told her we didn’t know she-she....” Bonnie shivered
“...she tried to attacked Elena but Damon got in the way and...” Bonnie sobs.
“...She snapped Damon’s neck, as if she was possessed, it was like she turned off her humanity.” Bonnie says scared.
Klaus stood near the fireplace smirking as he heard the young Bennett speak of his lovers’ action.
“That doesn’t sound like Vienna, she wouldn’t do that, would she?” Azalea asked as she looks towards Rebekah, the blonde looked away from the teen as if she wasn’t paying attention to what Bonnie had said.
“Rebekah?..” Azalea questioned again, the blonde women looked towards azalea with a eyebrow.
“What?” She says mildly.
“Would Vienna do something like that...” Azalea asked timidity
“I don’t know...” she shrugged. Azalea glared at her well, Elijah watch them.
“Who cares!” Klaus exclaimed finally speaking up as he sit his drink down and walk towards Bonnie and Keira.
“I didn’t bring you here to chit chat now did I, I brought you here because I need your little powers.” He spoke getting into Bonnie face, Keira made a face at Klaus, which he ignored still glaring down at the young Bennett.
Bonnie glanced between Keira and Klaus.
“Why should I ever help you after what you put me and my friends through?” Bonnie sneered at him.
Catching Bonnie off guard, Klaus slammed her against the wall by her throat growling in her face.
“Nicklaus!” Elijah shouted towards his brother in a warning tone. Keira and Azalea was by his side in seconds trying to get him off Bonnie.
“Klaus! Let go of her!” Keira yells as she tries pulling him off of Bonnie, the young Bennett start scratching at Klaus’s hands. Both Pierre sisters alarm start pulling and hitting harder on him.
“Rebekah! Help us! REBEKAH!”Rebekah stood still watching the scene unfold before her, Azalea moved to Klaus other side standing next to Kiera.
“Niklaus! Please stop it your killing her.” Azalea pleaded as the sisters try desperately to stop him. He look towards them only seeing fear in their eyes as tears fall down their cheeks,pulling away fast Klaus watches as the girls help Bonnie up and towards the coach.
He glare heatley at Bonnie coughing form, as Keira poured her a glass of water for Bonnie She and Azalea glanced back at Klaus for second before helping Bonnie once again.
“Now then, let’s try this again shall we...” he hissed
“...your gonna help me with a little spell..” he slammed a piece of paper on the table starling the sisters and Bonnie.
“...or I’m gonna kill ever last person in this town starting with your little friends, and that’s not a threat, that’s an unbreakable vow. Now, tell me what do you need for the spell.” He grits out.
Bonnie slowly slide the paper towards her and looked at the written on it. She furrowed her eyebrows confused but she knew questioning Klaus would be affectless.
“Can someone hand me a pen, please?” She says. Azalea grabs a pen from Elijah and gave it to Bonnie.
After Bonnie was finished, she looked towards Klaus, “If I do this would let us go?” Klaus nod.
“You have my undying word.” He says monotone, Bonnie hesitate before giving him the paper. He turn on his heels and make his way back out the door.
“One more thing, before I go...” He stopped at the door.
“If you warn any of your friends or even try to find a way to escape, the girls would not be here the next time to stop me from ripping your heart out from your chest...” he smirks as her eyes widen in fear.
“...what do you kids say these days...brb..” he winked and slammed the door shit living the girls on edge.

"So how's this going to work? Am I gonna be in my old body or is it like traveling back in time..." Keira says as she watch Bonnie do her thing in the living room.
"...you suggested the bloody spell in the first place, how can you not know?" Rebekah scoffed slack-jawed at Keira.
"Hey! I told you to take whatever I say with a grain of salt..." Keira unfazed.
"No, you didn't..." Azalea says as she helped Bonnie with the ingredients.
"...okay, maybe I didn't but hey! I did now that got to count for something.." she smiled.
📷
"Bloody hell.." Rebekah whispered making herself a drink.
"Well, it's more like a flashback they can't hear or see you. So you are just going off what you seen,heard, or smelled in the memory." Bonnie says uncertain, Keira frowned and shook her head in understanding.
"It's safe. Right?" Azalea asked concern.
"Yeah..." Bonnie gave azalea a reassuring smile.
Everybody gathered around Bonnie watching her mix her elixir together. As the young Bennett put in the last ingredient, she looks towards Keira.
"Drink this .." she says handing her the bowel with the elixir. Bonnie watched as the girl drink the substance,after Keira finish she gave the bowel to Azalea.
"That is the most vile thing I ever tasted.." Keira says gagging. Rebekah and Elijah chuckled at her words.
📷
"That's not true, you remember that one time Vienna forced us to eat that Chicken Alfredo, she made once?" Azalea laughed. Klaus standing far to the side smirked, Keira giggled.
"Oh yeah..." she shook her head in disgust at the memory.
"..at least she gotten better over the years.." Keira looked towards Azalea smirking, the young girl girl made a face at her sister statement.
📷
"...neh.." Azalea shrugged grinning back at Keira.
"Can we get on with it! I don't think the Salvatore can keep your sisters at bay for much longer so..." he nagged waving his hands forward for them to get on with it.
Keira rolled her eyes, laying down on the couch with her head on Bonnie's lap.
"...you ready?" Bonnie asked
"...as I ever be." She looked towards Bonnie, she closed her eyes as she fell into a deep sleep like state as she hears Bonnie's chant.
📷
Keira opened her eyes to find the cloudy blue sky staring down at her, She stands up in the middle of a field looking around for any sign of a living life form.
Something deep in her gut told her to start walking east towards the forest, as she walks farther into the woods. She starts to to see a river and hear multiple voices near by, and pick up her pace as she walks slowly towards the sound.Keira slowly hide behind a tree, she peaked her head from behind.
📷
Keira heart skipped a beat when her eyes landed on a women that had some of her features. She watched with wide teary eyes as her mother stand over a unconscious three-year old Keira's body holding up a dagger.
"Mother, I beg of you please give us, Keira.." Avery pleaded.
"No! Can't you see? she's a abomination. A monstrous creature that should not have lived, I have to do this or we all going die by her hand..." Aisha yelled as she looks down at Keira with disgust.
"..I'm saving us from this wicked beast, you'll thank me. When this is all over.." Aisha slowly lowered her body towards the ground, about to plunge the dagger into Keira's chest when Marcella ran out of the woods along Cairo covered in blood.
"Mother!" Cairo growled catching Avery and Aisha attention. Terrified her mother held the dagger close to Keira's neck drawing blood.
"Stay back! Or I-"
Keira woke up and looked around to find herself back at the Mikaelson's Manor, she sat up and turned towards Bonnie.
"What happened?" Keira says looking at Bonnie, she watched as Bonnie wiped the blood from her nose.
"...bunny?" Keira mumbled holding her shoulder, Bonnie gave her a weak smiled.
"I'm fine. It does it that sometimes when I use my magic, I be fine. " she gave Keira a weak smiling, the young girl just nodded.
"So? What did you see?"
"Do you know where the cure is?"
"Where did you go?"
Everybody bombarded Keira with question after question.
"Ok! Ok! Ok! Everybody shut up!" She scolded everyone went silent waiting for her to catch her thoughts, she rubbed her temple as she felt a headache coming.
"Umm...first no I did not know where the cure is, maybe I got pulled out to early or-or.." Keira groan hunched over taking a minute as her head starts to pounded.
Everybody looked at her concern.
"Kay? Are you alright?" Azalea says as she sat in front of her sister, grabbing her face.
"Yea...yeah I'm just coming down with a headache, that's all." Azalea frowned and looked at Bonnie.
"Is this a side effects from the spell?" Azalea asked Bonnie worried.
"It-it shouldn't be..." she said looking through her book glancing towards Keira worried.
"Gu-guys I'm fine I'm probably just hungry, I haven't eaten since breakfast. All I need is large pepperoni pizza or a bacon cheeseburger and I be good as new." She joked smiling weakly at both Bonnie and Azalea.
📷
"Yeah..maybe your right.." Azalea says taking quick glanced at everyone and back at Keira.
"I'm always right..." she says stumbled a little getting off the couch, Azalea catches her arm making Keira lean into her side.
"Thanks.." Keira mumbled as she straighten up and start walking away from everybody with Azalea close behind her.
As Keira and Azalea went into the kitchen, Klaus watched the girls leave from his sights before turning his glare towards the Bennett witch.
📷
"You said the spell will work!" He scolded.
Bonnie rolled her eyes,"...it did work, you got your answer. Now it's your turn hold up your end of the deal.." Klaus growled as his hybrid eyes stared back at her with anger.
"Fine...you can go.." he grits his teeth, as he said that the girls walked out of the kitchen eating sandwich. Bonnie looked over at the girl and walked towards them.
"Come on, we're leaving.." The girls furrowed their eyebrows as Bonnie lead them towards the door. Klaus sped in front of them, blocking their way.
"Where do you think your taking them?" Klaus hissed.
"Home to their sister.." she hissed back trying to step aside him but he block her way. Azalea and Keira looked backed up and looked between Klaus and Bonnie.
"You must misunderstood me, witch. You get to leave but they.." he pointed towards the girls, "...they stay here with me."
"You said if I helped you, we get to leave." She growled.
"...No, I said you could leave but those two are not leaving here." He said as he walked away from Bonnie.
📷
Without thinking Bonnie used her magic, throwing a vase past Klaus's head causing it to shattered all over the place. He sped his was towards her grabbing her by the throat, pinning her against the wall. As Rebekah, Elijah, and Azalea try to get Klaus off of Bonnie, Keira started stumbling backwards feeling dizzy.
Keira fainted on the floor blacking out, everyone stopped what they were doing as Azalea ran towards her sister.
"Keira! Kay! Kay! Oh my god she burning up." Azalea cried taping her hand against Keira's face trying to wake her up. She looked desperately at the Mikealson and Bonnie, Elijah and Rebekah moved away from their brother and he picked Keira up bridal style.
"Klaus. Go get me a bowel of cold water and a rag.." Rebekah instructed walking up the stairs behind her brother. Klaus nodded quickly going to the kitchen.
Elijah laid Keira on the bed, Klaus handed the bowel and rag to his sister. Bonnie held Azalea as they watched from the thershold as Rebekah work.
"...is she going to be okay?" Azalea mumbled.
"As long we keep her cooled down, yeah. Yeah she be fine." Rebekah smiled sadly at Azalea. She nodded walked away, leaving the Mikaelsson and Bonnie in the room with her sister.
"You said the spell was safe.." Elijah spoke.
"It is...it should have been.." she whisper the last part to herself, she pulled out her phone and dial a number.
"Who are you calling.." Klaus asked coming to stand in front of her.
"Caroline...." Bonnie waited a few seconds before it pickup.
"Bonnie! Where are you? Are you okay?" Caroline panicking voice came through the phone.
"I'm fine. I need a favor." She says.
"Anything."
"Where are you at the moment?"
"Umm...at your house. Why?" She asked confused.
"Okay, good..." she said to herself. "...I gonna need you to find my book. Okay?"
"Yeah..sure..." Bonnie heard shuffling on the other line. "Got it." Caroline says as Bonnie smiled.
"Okay, I need you to open the book and find a page that says 'praecognitio'. Understand?" She says slowly not to confuse her friend.
"Yeah,Bonnie. This isn't my first time looking up a spell for y'know. " Caroline joked. Bonnie let out a quiet chuckled as she heard her friends flipping through pages. "Find it. What now?"
"Okay, now I need you to read it to me." Caroline read the book as best as she can to her best friend. After a couple minutes, Bonnie got the answer she was looking for and bid her friend a goodbyes.
"So? What did she say?" Rebekah asked.
"..what I gathered from Caroline is that the reason the elixir reacted so badly to Keira is because..." Bonnie sudden felt a chill run down her spine.
"Because of what? Spit it out already." Klaus says agitated about this whole ideal.
"...seem like someone had put a curse on her, and when I gave her the elixir. I guest something in the ingredients must have affected it, which cause it to have a negative affect on her." Bonnie says
📷
"What? Who do such a thing to a little girl.." Rebekah looked down at Keira as she hold her hand, deep down Rebekah knew she shouldn't be getting attach to the girl so quickly, it only going to leave her heartbroken in the end, like everything else in her life.
"Is she going to wake up anytime soon?" Klaus asked looking away from his sister and Keira.
"We have to wait and see.." Bonnie said sadly.
Klaus growled, " I don't have time to wait and see. I need her awake, or looking somewhat alive." He glanced at the sweating ill girl on the bed and grimace.
"...can you at least have a bit compassion, Klaus or is that too much to ask from the hybrid prince." Bonnie says sarcastically, glaring at him.
📷
"Compassion?..." he chuckled darkly, making Bonnie frowned, "..You think Vienna, going to show us compassion? Or mercy? When she finds out that her sister is looking like that..." he pointed at Keira, "she will do unthinkable acts even I wouldn't able to dream of to us, if she finds her sister. So forgive me, if I lack compassion right now, love." Klaus says angrily storming out of the room living Bonnie with more questions than before.
"Don't listen to him, ms.bennett. Niklaus is just...stressed." Elijah says.
"What did he mean by unthinkable acts?" Bonnie questioned.
"Nothing, he just-" Rebekah looked at her brother annoyed, "Just stop it Elijah. We both know he horrified of her. We all are, and you should too." Rebekah says looking at Elijah, Bonnie looked between the siblings as they glared at each other. "Why is he so scared of her? In spite of the fact that she can send Virginia and Philadelphia into a aftershock." Bonnie joked, Rebekah and Elijah looked at her surprised.
"You know about her Numen?" Rebekah asked shocked.
"Numen?"
"Her surge, a strong powerful source that can cause a whole city to shake and crumple. It's very rare. " Rebekah replied.
"I wouldn't say cause a whole city to crumple..." Elijah cleared his throat giving his sister a look.
"Yeah, tell that to Eighcast." She whispered under breathe.
"I'm sorry, what?" Bonnie asked confused.
"Nothing! Rebekah doesn't know what she is talking about..." Rebekah rolled her eyes at her brother, as they glared at each other. "By the look of it, she does. Now can someone please tell me, what hell is going on?" Both siblings and Bonnie turned their attention away from each other towards the young teen.
"How long have been standing there..." Elijah says surprised.
"Apparently long enough to know my aunt is responsible for city getting destroyed. Now I want to know why Klaus is so scared of Vienna. " she looked directly at Rebekah.
"How much you want to know, about your aunt?"
"As much as you do, so basically everything." She says
Rebekah sighed," It was 3 year after the incident, she buried her family. Her brothers went their own way Avery went north, Cairo east, and we travel west. Klaus and Vienna married, and they settle down in a small village from what I got from Elijah. When my brother finally undaggered me, he seems a little unsettle even terrified. All my life knowing Klaus their was only one person who scared him like that..." Rebekah drifted off at the thought.
"...That's all I know, much of my time was spent in a box. Maybe Elijah can fill in some of the blanks." She glanced at her brother.
"I know as much as you do, sister.." he said, Rebekah narrowed her eyes at him.
"You can lie better than that Elijah." Azalea says folding her arms.
📷
"I don't have to explain myself to a child..." he huffed making his way to the door. Azalea sudden shut the door, locking it and flung Elijah into a seat. "I don't give a damn, what you want. All I want to know why Klaus so afraid of Vienna." Elijah looked into azalea eyes and sighed, "not Vienna..." he says firmly.
"What?" Azalea asked confused.
"He wasn't scared of Vienna ,he was scared Marcella..."
"Aren't they the same person?" Bonnie asked sitting on the bed next to Rebekah.
"Yes and no. Vienna is the sweet and caring women we all know, but Marcella...she is a cold blooded psychopath with a taste of blood. She doesn't forgive easily, her main reason of being is to protect Vienna and her family." Elijah explained.
"Why didn't she tell us?" She stepped away from Elijah and wrapped her arms around her body, as she mumbled to herself.
"Vienna didn't know about Marcella either, not until-" Elijah was interrupted by a crash coming from the main floor.
"NIKLAUS MIKEALSON! WHERE ARE YOU!" A female voice growled louder echoing around from downstairs. Elijah stood up quickly walking towards the door with Bonnie and Rebekah. "Stay here." He said as they make their way down to Vienna.
Azalea walked over to her sister and smooth her hair out, "...I hope your okay in there, it would be great if you wake up now. Please?" She sighed as she sat by her side dapping the cold rag on to Keira's forehead.

Keira opened her eyes to find the cloudy blue sky staring down at her, She stands up in the middle of a field looking around for any sign of a living life form.
Something deep in her gut told her to start walking east towards the forest, as she walks farther into the woods.

“How long have been standing there...” Elijah says surprised.
“Apparently long enough to my sister is responsible for city getting destroyed. Now I want to know why Klaus is so scared of Vienna. “ she looked directly at Rebekah.
“How much you want to know?”
“As much as you do, so basically everything.” She says
Rebekah sighed,” It was 3 year after the incident, she buried her family. Her brothers went their own way;Avery went north, Cairo east, and we travel west. Klaus and Vienna married, and they settle down in a small village from what I got from Elijah. When my brother finally undaggered me, he seems a little unsettle even terrified. All my life knowing Klaus their was only one person who scared him like that...” Rebekah drifted off at the thought.
“...That’s all I know, much of my time was spent in a box. Maybe Elijah can fill in some of the blanks.” She glanced at her brother.
“I know as much as you do, sister..” he said, Rebekah narrowed her eyes at him.
“Your either a really bad liar, Elijah or your hiding something.” Azalea says folding her arms.
“I don’t have to explain myself to you...” he huffed making his way to the door. Azalea sudden shut the door, locking it and flung Elijah into a seat. “I don’t give a damn, what you want. All I want to know why Klaus so afraid of Vienna.” Elijah looked into azalea eyes and sighed, “not Vienna...” he says firmly.
“What?” Azalea asked confused.
“He wasn’t scared of Vienna,he was scared Marcella...”
“Aren’t they the same person?” Bonnie asked sitting on the bed next to Rebekah.
“Yes and no. Vienna is the sweet and caring women we all know, but Marcella...she is a cold blooded psychopath with a taste of blood. She doesn’t forgive easily, her main reason of being is to protect Vienna and her family.” Elijah explained.
“Why didn’t she tell us?” She stepped away from Elijah and wrapped her arms around her body, as she mumbled to herself.
“Vienna didn’t know about Marcella either, not until-“ Elijah was interrupted by a crash coming from the main floor.
“NIKLAUS MIKEALSON! WHERE ARE YOU! YOU SON OF A BITCH!” A female voice growled louder echoing around from downstairs. Elijah stood up quickly walking towards the door with Bonnie and Rebekah. “Stay here.” He said as they make their way down to Vienna.
Azalea walked over to her sister and smooth her hair out, “...I hope your okay in there, it would be great if you wake up now. Please?” She sighed as she sat by her side dapping the cold rag on to Keira’s forehead.
Chapter 22
Keira looked at the sunrise as she sat cris-crossed on the grass surrounded by daisies. She inhale as she watched the beautiful scenery before her, sudden Aisha takes a seat next to her daughter.
“It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” She smiles warmly, Keira ignores her as she kept watching the sun. Aisha smiled drops frowning and sighs, “...your probably have million questions right now, and an explanation but I-“
“Actually, I really don’t or want an explanation from you. I just want to be alone and heal and get back to my family.” She says, Aisha looked disappointed at her daughter as she gets up and head towards the cottage.
Keira slammed the door closed and sat at the diner room table, she pulled out her phone looked at the time, “can this day get any worst?” She huffed, at that moment Aisha walked in the room. “I spoke to soon..” she rolled her eyes as Aisha sat in front of her.
“Ria,please we been going at this for 10 hours, I know you hate me, and you every right to but believe me when I say this, I’m sorry, I’m so so sorry..” Aisha says desperately with tears in her eyes, Keira didn’t take her attention off her phone as her mother talked.
Aisha looked back in forth between her daughter and her phone, she grabbed it off her daughter’s hand and smashed it on to the floor shattering. Keira eyes snapped to Aisha, ” so do I have your attention, now?” She crossed her arms and looked blankly at her mother.
“Why should I give you my time, when you were about to take mines..” she hissed, Aisha looked sadden at Keira’s words, “oh, bèbè, that wasn’t me that was a broken women who lost everything she every had, her true love, her children, her sanity, that women who hurt you wasn’t me, you have to know that I fought to come back to the you and I did...” Keira scoffed angrily at her mother.
“...yeah well you didn’t fight hard enough to stop you from, putting us into a coma.” She sniffled wiping away the tears, Aisha furrowed her eyebrows. “What are you talking about?” Taken back Aisha questioned her daughter words, Keira looked at her mother confused face as she mentioned the curse. “You know what i’m talking about..” she uttered annoyed.
Aisha thought back to the time it all happened, where everything changed from good to worse in a millisecond. “Ria. I’m gonna tell you something and you have to understand that what I’m going to say may cause you to look towards the person who been in your life for very long time differently. What I’m going to tell you is going to save you?” She says smoothly, Keira peered at her mother.
“save me from what?” Aisha with pain her eyes begin to explain.
Keira sat up in bed looking towards the window to see it was night, she her heart felt heav. She heard loud noises coming from down stairs, she slowly got out of bed and headed towards the stairs as she descended, she saw her sisters and the Mikealson along with Bonnie and her friends watching the from the side as Vienna and Klaus go head-and-head in a screaming match.
“YOUR UNBELIEVABLE! HAVE YOU REALLY REACH AN ALL TIME LOW THAT YOU NEED TO START SNITCHING UP PEOPLE KIDS?” Vienna shouts at him, throwing a expensive bottle of brandy towards his head. He dodge it moving around the room as she get closer to him, “I WOULDN’T HAVE TO IF YOU JUST TELL ME, WHERE THE CURE IS..” as he dodge another item being thrown at him, Vienna picked up a crystal bowel about to throw at Klaus’s head until Azalea stepped in and snitched it from her grip.
“Enough! V stop destroying their house...” Vienna huffed glancing at her Azalea as she put the crystal bowel down on the table, “...at least we know who’s the mature one in the family.” Klaus mocked, Vienna tried to attack him but Azalea held her back from ripping Klaus’s face off, “...are you seriously gonna stand there and not help me!” She grunts looking at Yasmine.
“Nah, dude. I’m enjoying this way too much.” She laughs as she takes a sip from her glass of whiskey. “...stop provoking her,Niklaus. This isn’t going to help us...” Elijah says calmly, as they try to calm their siblings down. Keira cleared her throat making herself noticed, “Keira? You alright...” Azalea says hugging her sister.
Everybody looked in shock as Keira made her way towards the couch. “How you feeling buddy?” Vienna asked.
“I’m good...” Keira eyes linger on Vienna for awhile before moving her attention to Azalea, “..what’s going on here?”
“Nothing. We were just leaving..” Cutting off Azalea glaring at Klaus as he smirks towards her, she rolled her eyes leaving with Yasmine following. Azalea got up and looked towards Keira noticing she not moving from her spot on the coach, “Keira. Are you okay?” Deep in her thoughts Keira didn’t realize she was being talked to until she felt Azalea grab her hand.
“Yeah, I’m fine,I’m fine. I’m just..” Keira drifted back to the conversation she had with Aisha, the uncertainty she felt bubbled over again. “I just need to talk to Klaus and Elijah for minute...” She stood up taking a quick glance at Elijah and Klaus.
“That’s not happening. We’re leaving.” Vienna grumbled grabbing her stuff, “it’s really important...” Keira started. “I don’t care. We’re leaving now!” Keira face scrunched up, and took a step back ”No.” Vienna stopped and turned towards her sister,”Vienna...” Yasmine says slowly making Vienna glared at her. Yasmine grimaced at her sister heated glazed,” I’m not telling you again, Keira. We’re leaving. Now.” Vienna looked down at her, turning on her heels.
“Who is Jonathan, Marcella?” Vienna stopped and turned around slowly towards her. “...what did you just call me?” She narrowed her eyes onto Keira deadly, “Marcella. Isn’t that your name or do like to be called “Marcella the Vain” better.” She smiled darkly at Keira.
“I’m impressed. How did you find out it was me.” She walks closer causing Keira and Azalea backed up as Marcella take a seat on the armchair. She looked over at Yasmine, “Mind fixing me a drink, doll.” She battered her eyes, Yasmine rolled her eyes.
“I asked first.” Marcella rolled her eyes, “I’ll talk. When you do. Deal?” Keira stared at her uncertain before nodding. “Aisha, told me.” Marcella groan in annoyance at her mother’s interference,”...even from the beyond, she’s a nuisance,” grabbing her drink from Yasmine and taking a sip. “Now, your turn.” Marcella gazed Keira before looking at Bonnie and her friends.
“I tell, only if....she stays...” she pointed at Katerina. Keira turns towards Bonnie, ”No. No way we need her.” Bonnie protest.
“Bunny, I promise we get her back to you...trust me...” she looked at her desperately, Bonnie looked between Keira’s tired face and Marcella’s smug form. “Fine. I trust you...” she gave her a hug, “Thank you ..”
Marcella watches as Katerina try to escape to make a run for it,”...and where do you think your going, ma fleur.” She used her magic to pin her to the wall. Marcella eyes turned black as her black magic caused Katerina eyes to bleed, “ Alright, Marcella. I think she gets the point..” Yasmine says plainly. Marcella twist her hand making Katerina spit out blood.
Klaus watched as his wife slowly kill their ex-lover, he sees Keira eyes turned pitch black. Keira angrily shoved both her hands forward knocking Marcella against a table onto the floor, she watched as Katherine falls to the ground gasping. Pissed, Marcella tried speeding towards Katerina only to be hold back by Klaus,” That’s enough, love. That’s enough, get her out of here now...” he glanced at Stefan as he tighten his grip on her arms, as he whispered in her ear calming her down.
Marcella opened her eyes, after realizing how close Klaus was to her, she wiggled out of arms, “Get off of me...” she shoved him away from her in disgust, “...don’t ever touch me again.” She growled flashing him her eyes, he does the same.
Her eyes glanced behind Klaus looking at Damon,Elena, and Stefan get Katerina out of there. She growled loudly as she makes her way to the try full of alcohol pouring herself some brandy. She looks towards Keira, “...to answer your question, little sister. Jonathan was one of Silas many followers, he was very devoted actually. He do anything for, the name of Silas. Anything.” She took a seat near the fire.
“How do you know about Silas?” Bonnie asked, everyone looked at Marcella in questioned. “He came to my mother, when I was just a girl. He wanted immortality for him and his true love, mother helped him and send him on his way. The rest is history.”
“Okay. Aisha helped Silas, how do Jonathan fit into all this...” Azalea asked slowly.
“Well one of the many things mother hate is when men/or women are being unfaithful. So she told his fiancé, and that said fiancé dealt with them...”she shrugged as she finished her drink before continue, “so months go by, Silas and his lover are dead. Before Silas died he wrote a letter to Jonathan telling him everything that happen on his trip to Romania, so Jonathan gets the letter and put two to two together ...” she paused, as her eyes focus on the dancing fire in front of her.
“...so he finds her, he watched her..us..for a well before, turning them against us.” She says anxiously, Keira stepped forward and knees down in front of her sister, “...soon enough the mother and father, we once knew was gone, replace by dark void. Our parents ended up putting us all in boxes for centuries, you were just a baby when it happened. So we just laid there unconscious in the dark trapped in our own hell, she waited for you to turn a certain before doing the same. “ Keira’s eyes glossed at Marcella’s words.
“...than she finally woke us up, just find out that our father dead. We were in a new place but different time, people were wearing odd clothing and talking different. When we came to , you were still sleep and mother had new friends among them Jonathan. He ended up being her very close friend, he convinced her to contain my powers so I wouldn’t rebellion against them.” Marcella sighed, she grabs Keira’s hand and entwine them together.
“Years went by and we saw a opening and took it, we fought back and I killed our mother, after Avery and Cairo was gone with you. Me and her were alone, she was her old self again but the darkness in her was still there, so she told me to end it. I wanted so badly to find a another way, but I can tell that the battle inside her was a losing one. So I did it...“ she finished, Keira snatched her hand away from Marcella making her frown.
“Why didn’t you say something?All these years lying to our family. For what?” Keira stands looking down at Marcella. “So you wouldn’t save them...” Marcella whispered, she stood in front of Keira. “If Avery and Cairo knew that our mother had a chance, they would have wanted to lock her away until we find a cure. I couldn’t do that to her, to them, to us, I didn’t want her trapped in a box for eternity...”
“You don’t know that, you could have found a cure and saved her. “ she shouted. Keira eyes turned to pitch black again, making everyone back up expect Marcella. “No. We couldn’t, because you want to know why. It’s because she wouldn’t be able to lived without him, she wouldn’t be able to lived with herself for what she’s done. She would have spent her whole life in agony knowing deep down she traumatized her children...” Keira wipes the tears away from her faces as her eyes faded back to normal.
“It’s not fair!” She grits out. Marcella pulled her into a tight hug, “I know, kiddo. I know..” Keira clutch onto Marcella’s arm. Yasmine rolled her eyes at the scene in front of her, “what happened after?” Keira mumbled.
“Keira..” Marcella signed, looking back at her sister. “Aisha wouldn’t have given me Jonathan name, if it didn’t have something to do with what’s going on right now.” Keira pulled away, Yasmine looked confused, “what you talking about?”
“When I was with her she didn’t just mention Jonathan, she told me that she saw the person who was behind what happened at the manor...” Yasmine eyes widened, “she saw them, who are they?” Azalea urged.
“All she said was it was a guy, she couldn’t see his face it was too dark...”
“Great all we know about this guys is that his a guy, lovely..” Azalea threw her hands up, “...theirs more, she said she saw a women as well but didn’t look like she was their welling, and that we should stay close. She told me that she heard them mention “دماء أول هجين” if that make any sense?” Keira explain confused looking at Marcella.
Marcella roared in frustration, making everyone jump, she turned away from her sisters and punched the wall making the paintings rattled, “...fuck...they have it..how the hell did they find it...” she whispered to herself as she slammed her hand against the wall again. “What? What does it mean?” Azalea asked.
Marcella turned around and looked towards the Mikealson before focusing on her sisters, “it’s the blood of the first hybrid, it’s our only weakness. I hide away a long time ago, so no can use it against us.” Keira furrowed her eyebrows in confusion, “..why hide it, why not just destroy it..” she asked, Marcella looked forward not paying no mind to her sister soft gaze, “Because her ego is the size of Texas..” Yasmine perked up quietly, Marcella glared.
“Don’t start, Yazzy.” Both sisters stared at each other heavily until Yasmine looked away. “Okay? What am I messing here?” Keira pointed between her sisters, “Nothing..” Yasmine bit the inside of her cheek, shaking her head, “..whatever..” she mutters storming out of the mansion making Marcella look at the spot her sister once stood, sadden.
“What was that about?” Azalea says worried as she stares after Yasmine. “Uhhh, something that I thought had dead a long time ago...” she walks towards her jacket, putting it on, she took at minute before breathing, “...the reason why I didn’t get rid of it, was because...I was going to use it,” she croaked.
“Yasmine, Avery, and the others, didn’t know about my incident...” she looked down playing with her hands, Elijah and Klaus eyes widen in realization at what she was about tell her sisters and Bonnie, “...Miss Pierre-“
“Don’t...” she gulped. “...it’s hard enough...” she whispered to herself, “ I just came back to France with Katherine, at this point me and Klaus were on our sixth break-up. But, I went to gather the doppelgänger for him,” She wiped the tears away as she continued to speak, “ Days went on when Katherine and Klaus spent more time to together, after three months and no move, my patient was weary thin. One night after a argument with Klaus, we had a rendezvous under a full moon...” she says sheepish moving her hair out of her way, Bonnie and Rebekah looked in disgust at the mention of Marcella and Klaus love making, well Keira and Azalea were caught off guard by their sister.
“Gross..” Rebekah says disgusted. “Yeah. TMI, Marcy, tmi..” Azalea shook the thought out of her head.
“Sorry...” she sheepishly, “When weeks went by after our you know, I find out I was with child, “ Marcella stares at Klaus as he didn’t look up from his drink, she scoffed, “I told Klaus, and it didn’t go as I imagined it-.”
“...bloody hell” he interrupted, fixing himself a glass before turning and waving his hand towards Marcella, “...please finish, love. Don’t mind me.” Klaus can tell through her blank stare that he was about to hit a nerve, “...like I was saying,” she glanced at Klaus as he tilted his head towards her mocking, “...it didn’t go as I imagine, Klaus expected that I cheated on him with the stable boy, apparently being nice is consider cheating...“ he rolled his eyes at her words.
“No, catching you with numbers of men in our years together. Does thou.” He says, as he watched his wife mock him. “...maybe I wouldn’t have to if you trusted me more and stop entraining your whores.” She muttered under her breathe, Klaus snapped his head in her direction.
“...you knew what you were getting into when you married me, love. You knew you couldn’t compare to her, you couldn’t make me happy like her, you couldn’t make me smile like her, it’s your own fault. You knew that I couldn’t love you as much as I loved her...” Marcella froze at the mention Tatia, Klaus’s first love, he knew how much she hated to be compare to her. She glared at towards him with so much hated.
“So what, you telling me you never love me. That everything you said was a lie? An act?” He shrugged, Marcella rubbed her head at her ex-husband.
“I hate you...” Klaus looked blankly at her as tears ran down her cheeks, “I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I FUCKING HATE YOU..” she sped towards him, tackling him to the ground, she hit at his face and chest. Until he flipped them, holding her hands by her head, she growled and knees him in the side throwing him off of her.
They watched as Klaus and Marcella went at not intervening, “Should we do something?” Bonnie asked as she dodged an item meant for Klaus, “Do you want to lose a eye?” Rebekah says backing away when she saw the couple start fighting. They watch as Marcella got the upper hand, and plunged her hand into Klaus’s heart, he screamed in pained as he felt her squeeze his heart.
Without thinking, Klaus reached up and snapped Marcella’s neck making her go limp and fall on top of him. The girls gasped as their sister unmoving body, the tried to run to her but was stopped by Bonnie.
Klaus looked to his wife in shocked at what he did, “no,no,no,no” he muttered, in all his years with Marcella he never hurt her, maybe emotionally but never physically. As much as they fought, they never went as far as they did today. “Wake up, please, wake up..” he curdle her in his arms, she started to groan. Klaus let out a sigh as he saw her eyes open.
“That was uncalled for...” She groans rubbing her neck, Azalea and Keira stood in surprised. She looked up at Klaus as his eyes had tears in them, she reached up wiped them away. He stared down at her, “V?” She gave him a small smiled, before her faced turn to one of pain, she grabbed her head, moaning, Klaus panicked for a minute before he knew it V was gone and Marcella was back. She sat up and shoved him.
“You dick..” she got up of the floor, leaning against the couch, “I can’t believe I actually loved you.” She whispered, “ Well the feelings mutual..” he scoffed getting off the floor, Elijah had to become between him and Marcella
They grew quiet again, waiting for either of them to say something. Hurt, by his response, she took a deep breathe and exhale.
“Why then? Why did you have to say yes, why do you keep comparing us to a women who never love you...” he scowled her at, “Scratch that, why did you even give me a chance?” Klaus looked baffled at her question, “I knew I couldn’t match up with Tatia or any other women in our village but why show interest. Are you that cruel? That sadistic? That broken to feed me lies? To have me fall in love with you just so you can break my heart because she choose your brother over you.” she waited for him to deny it but he just stood their blankly, she nodded in understanding. She looked towards Bonnie and the girls
“You going to drop Keira and Azalea off at my house, and go home.” She turned towards the girls, “...you going straight to bed. Understood.” She says,as they nodded in unison and watched them walk out the door unfazed.
“Now, that they are gone. I can finally kill...” Before she can go for the kill. Rebekah grabs her pinning her towards the wall.
“I think that’s enough for today.” Marcella growled, pushing Rebekah away. She tried to move around her but got blocked, “...this is between me and your brother, Rebekah. Move out the way. “
“You know, I can’t do that. “Marcella hand twisted snapping Rebekah’s neck. She catches her and lays her on the armchair, she looked at Elijah, “Are you going to stop me too?” He stands straight, and nodded. “The last thing I want to do is leave Rebekah by herself and hate me. For killing two of her brother. “
“Then, don’t. You can walk away. “Elijah advised.
“Walk away? I’m not walking away until I have his head on a platter for what he did to my son! ” She growled her eyes glowing and her fangs came out, her sight is on Klaus “ You killing Klaus, won’t bring him back..” she looked away from him, as Elijah stepped closer, “..killing him, won’t do you justice. I know the last thing you want is to kill Vienna and hurt your sisters if you die.” She turned back to normal after Elijah’s words.
She broken down, falling into Elijah’s chest. She sobbed as her long-time friend rubbed her back in comfort, “How beautiful, I could cry. “ Marcella growled in annoyance at Klaus.
“Stop it, Niklaus. Haven’t you done enough?”
“I don’t know, brother. Have I?”
“Please, just let me break his neck..”
“I don’t think you gonna wanna do that love after what I tell you...”
“You said enough for today, Niklaus.” He glared at his brother as Nik watched as they walk to the door.
“Not even, if I say your most loyal friend had something to do with the death of our son?” Marcella stopped and stepped away from Elijah, “Marcy-“ Klaus threw his brother away from his wife, and slammed him onto the coffee table.
“Stop!”
“Don’t”
Klaus look up to see Keira and Azalea running in the living well the dagger in his hand hovering over his brother’s chest, he felt gentle hands grab his arm. Klaus looked at his wife and knew it was Vienna, she pulled him off of his brother and away.
Rebekah woke up and looked around to find her brother and his wife holding each other well Elijah sit up on the coffee table. She sees Azalea and Keira standing in the living room.
“What the hell did I miss?” She rubs her neck. Klaus glared at his brother, as Vienna grabs his hand, taking the dagger from him. He looked at her, “I don’t think you gonna be needing this...” they looked at Elijah.
“Thank you, Marcella..” he says looking at her.
“Not, Marcella. But your welcome...”
“Why?” Klaus seethe, Elijah looked away from his little brother, “...How can you do this to me, your own flesh and blood-“
“I was a fool, brother. I was made to believe that if I helped Katerina’s escape, we can be together. I was foolish to think that...”
Vienna walked up to Elijah, she laid her hands on his shoulder making him look at her, “You weren’t foolish Elijah you were in love and love make us do crazy things. It’s not your fault. “ she look at Klaus, “...none of our fault.”
“It’s been a long stressful day. I think we all need some sleep to gather ourself.”
“What about Katerina? We have to make her pay-“
“We will deal with Katerina another day. For now we need sleep, let’s just take one thing at a time. “ she looked at Klaus, he nodded in agree. “Good, I’m too tired to sped home with two so you can go back to your room.”
“Are you sure? We don’t have to stay-“ Azalea says uncertain.
“I’m sure, go to bed.” Vienna said softly nodding towards the staircase, she watched as the girls look at each other and make their way towards their room together. Klaus reached out towards Vienna, “Come on, love. I show you to your room. “ she smiled at him shyly as she took his hand, “Goodnight, Bekah and Elijah.” Rebekah smiled as Elijah nodded towards his sister-in-law.
When Klaus and Vienna was outta sight. Rebekah looked at Elijah, “...so what happened, when I was out..” Elijah looked down at his sister and sigh, “...I tell you later.” She nodded and watch him sped out the house.
Klaus and Vienna walked into a room, she looked around and saw paintings and clothes everywhere, “Uh, Nik. I think someone else lives here already..” she says picking up a drawing of a horses.

“Yeah...mines” she gave him a look, and he chuckled, “don’t worry... I keep my hands to myself..” she scoffed and went back to looking around the room until she felt his arms around her waist. “How long did you know?” He asked
“Couple of months, After I got home from Mystic falls I had time to go through the the five stages of grief. How about you?”
“A year, I been planning this for some time, I never knew how to get you here without causing some attention.”
“So? Everything you said early was a lie?” She looked at him, he nodded.
“It was all an act, I never meant it, you my first love. My mate, my wife. No women can compare to you, not even Tatia..” he kissed her cheek.
She laid her head against his chest, looking at a painting in his uh room, “I’m so sorry..” she mutters, he squeezes her tight.
“For what?” He turned her around looking her straight in the eye, “For everything, I should have talk some sense into Marcella. Maybe if I...took control, I would have talk to her, made her see reason-” she shook her head
“There’s no reasoning with Katherine, you know that, her only instinct is to survive. Don’t blame yourself for her mistakes....” he brushed her hair out of her eyes, she looked passionately to him “...you always knew what to say to make me see reason..” she whispered, he brings her closer.
“We may not be able to change the past, but we can make a better future with each other . “ he looked her in the eye, he leaned his head on to hers. Vienna wrapped her arms around his neck bring him in for a kiss, Klaus growled at her passion and kissed her more fiercely than he had before.
His hand wrapped in her hair while the other gripped her thigh as their tongues began to battle. He showed his dominance which only made Vienna want him more. As they kissed she began to try to grind into him needing to feel him where she wanted him most.
Klaus sped them into a new position on the bed. He placed himself seated against the headboard with her straddled over his lap his large covered bludge pressing into her.
One by one each layer of clothing was coming off, moans and groans echo through the night as they both make love. On a beautiful starry night as a full moon hangs over them.
