Authors note: This story I think will be similar to my other new story- Reincarnation. I'm working with Sage and Finn in the first part and I'm planning on adding in the same characters from that story. I've been playing around with the idea of them being somehow related or knowing each other. Italicized words in the story are for flashbacks.
As my body finally started to wake up I could feel my magic flow in my veins once more. My body has been locked in a box for the last thousand years. But my soul stayed and watched over my love, Finn- though he has also been trapped in a box for about nine hundred years. The only reason his brother Niklaus had another witch preserve me because he made a promise. He promised Finn he would help protect be should he be unable to.
His first kill, the one that activated his hybrid gene, was me.
Once he realized he had killed me he forced a witch to preserve my body so he could find a way to bring me back to life. He knew my Finn would never forgive him and would most likely spend the rest of eternity trying to make his life miserable or kill him. The moment my precious Finn found out, he daggered him and stuffed him in a coffin until he could find a powerful enough witch to bring me back to life.
The night I died was also the worst night in my life, and it wasn't entirely because I died. It was mostly due to the events that led up to it.
I had rushed over to the Mikealson's dwelling after Ester came to me at the house of my family. Against my father's wishes I left immediately with her. She told me that Finn was injured and could be near death and that she wanted my help as I was the villages best healers. I even ran, I didn't care what people thought, my only thoughts were of Finn. He wouldn't die if I could help it, if I got there in time my powers could heal him.
When I reached the extravagant hut I all but ran in, with Ester on my heels. Quickly I went to the main room, and right to his side. "Finn!" I cried seeing the thick crimson blood staining the front of his tunic. "Finn Love, please open your eyes." I demanded in almost half growl half cry." The blood on his tunic was a great amount and I could see the large stab wound, it was my main cause of distress, that and he wasn't opening his eyes.
Carefully I checked for a pulse and felt the tears immediately start to flow down my cheeks when I didn't find one. All of the sudden he sat up in a sudden flash and my breath caught in my throat. A choked out sob escaped my lips without my consent and I flung myself into his arms and allowed myself to continue to cry. "I—I—th—thought y-y-you w—we-were dead!" I wailed. I absolutely hated how weak and pitiful I sounded and was acting right now, but I couldn't stop.
"Sshhhh… Sage, Love, you're all right. I'm all right…" He said quietly smoothing my hair and pulling me as close as possible in an effort to calm me down. It was very affective and I quickly pulled away slightly and began kissing both of his cheeks repeatedly. Whispering that I loved him and how sorry I was for acting with such foolish behavior. Suddenly his eyes trained on my neck.
"Get on with it son, drink her blood. If you don't do it you'll die and you shouldn't worry anyhow, she'll be fine. If she is as in infatuated with you as you are with her, she'll give it to you willingly." I heard his father Mikael say. We both had confused expressions on our faces, so I knew he had no idea what he meant either. But he started to lean in toward me anyhow, and was visibly shaking. In a swift movement his lips were on my neck and he placed a few kisses on it before gently, yet harshly, biting into my neck. I gasped and suddenly understood what Mikael meant. He was right; I would give anything to Finn if he asked, my blood and life included. And I had to admit.. It actually started to turn me on.. Almost silently I groaned as his hands pulled me closer one lingered on my hips as the other held the other side of my neck. One of my own hands went to rest on the forearm of the hand at my neck and the other went to the back of his neck, inviting him closer if possible. Soon I felt the world start to fade around me, and I knew there was one thing I wanted to tell him. I'd said it before, but I wanted to make sure he knew.
But before I could he ripped himself off me and I collapsed onto my knees. I was struggling to even stay up on my knees and my eyes open. "Sage." he gasped, "No, I did that. Listen to me Love. Sage you need to run away, as far as you can." Suddenly he had an idea and bit into his wrist placing it on my lips. He urged me to drink, and I did. After a few mouthfuls he helped me to the door and again, urged me to run. "Sage Love, please listen to me. Run. As far as you can. I don't want to hurt you, and if you stay I'll be tempted to come to you. So you have to run."
I nodded, sensing his urgency and in a quick movement I leaned up and kissed him as I never had before. It was full of hunger and passion. After I took off running into the forest and I kept running until it grew dark and id reached a beautiful moonlit lake.
I sat down to rest and the last thing I remember was Niklaus asking if I was all right before becoming fixated on my blood left on my neck from Finn. And his face changed just as Finn's did. I felt the same pierce of teeth into my skin and soon felt the familiar tug of the darkness, urging me to sleep. My last thoughts were of Finn, and how much I loved him. I tried to use what little I could muster of my magic to telepathically send him a message and I succeeded.
My thoughts sounded so weak to me, but it was all I could do. 'I love you Finn. Forever and always.'
