Another beautiful day In New-Orleans, I can feel the draft running through my blond, curly hair while I sit on a large balcony. I am sat on a deck chair, fully leaned back with some sunglasses on, as It Is 40 degrees.
Since I am not aloud out on my own, this is the next best thing. According to my family, It isn't safe for me out there so I have to stay in here and enjoy my life from within my fathers well-built fortress. "I ain't got no money, I ain't tryin' to be funny" I mumble while listening to my current favorite song through my light-blue earphones.
"You play that song too often" I hear In a very muted voice while my aunt walks out through the balcony doors, placing her Starbucks cup on the floor while sitting down on a full on couch.
"Well, auntie Beks, need something to keep my mind of the cravings" I say while tilting my head back up again, trying to get a tan. She looks at me, smiling while lifting her eyebrow "You could get Freya to dampen the cravings, It would be a lot easier" she suggests.
Looking at her, a bit annoyed, I say "The dampening spell may take away the cravings but once it runs out the cravings come back twice as worse and I can't deal with that". My aunt nods with agreement and acceptance just as she notices my unbalanced emotions.
For the past few years, since puberty started I have had constant mood swings, complimented with the aggression with the Wolf gene and also the cravings of a Vampire, everyone knew to stay away from me when I was in a bad mood, so thats a bonus... I guess? After a few minutes of silence, we both just sit here, looking up to the sky while we feel the heat rays hitting our faces.
"Good... you are awake" I hear in a croaky voice, I look over my shoulder to see my uncle, Elijah standing there. I pull the earphones out of my ears as they drop to my knees, I look at Elijah to tell him that I am listening.
"Freya wants to talk to you... She said it was Witch business." He says while squinting his eyes in an unoffending fashion.
"Now?" I grunt heavily, not wanting to move.
"Yes, now." He replys looking at me as I get up, swinging my legs off the side of the deck chair and dragging my body, heavily through the balcony doors.
I walk to the indoor balcony, using my Vamp-hearing to locate where she is. "Great, now I have to walk all the way to the dining room" I role my eyes, lazily. I walk down the stairs, turning to the kitchen to cut through, just so I don't need to walk all around.
I grab an apple while I cut through and then finally getting to the dining room, seeing Freya stand there, waiting for me to come through the other way.
I walk to the giant dining table and take a seat, Freya turning to the noise of a chair, scraping against the floor. "Good, you're here" She says, ambitiously.
She walks on the other side of the table, opposite of me while sitting down. "What do you want?" I ask, her determination interesting me. She looks at me with fear in her eyes.
"There is a rumor... the Witches are spreading it around" she says blankly in her moany tone...
"And the rumor is?" I say, a bit annoyed... Like really, she could of just filled me in straight away, Its not like I wasn't listening.
"Aurora is back in town" She says, looking at me, waiting for my response. I look at her, a bit in confusion, wondering why in the world would she expect me to care about someone I don't even know.
"First, who is Aurora and why are you telling me about this and not one of the Originals?" I reply, a scowl on my face.
She notices and then answers my question "Aurora is a past lover of Klaus, she was one of the three that the Originals first turned.", I look at her, not getting where this is going.
"And... Why is she a problem?" I ask. "When you was a baby, Lucian Castle made a bargain with the Ancestors, true immortality for the lives of the Originals" She says, "He made two immortality potions, one for him and one for Aurora. Before she took it, Klaus broke her heart and now she wants revenge".
I look at her, my scowl drops and I become a bit more interested. "So what do you want me to do about it?" I ask, looking at Freya blankly.
"As i said, its a rumor, I have something she owns, I took it from Klaus's bedroom, we need to do a locator spell to find where she is." She says. Getting sick of the constant speeches that Freya keeps generating, I nod my head while Freya unrolls a map of the world.
"Okay, so-" She tries to say but I interrupt her.
"Enough of the speeches, I know what to do next", she looks at me a bit offended but after a second she understands why so she comes to terms with it. She pulls out a large amulet, probably something worth over $100,000, I look at it in shock, getting over it, I look at Freya as she holds her hands out for me to hold, after a few seconds, I lift my hands up, holding Freya's while she starts to chant, straight away. I quickly join in.
"Des-Mantos-Leveroux-Es-Tra-Der"
We chant these words, getting louder and louder as we do so, after a few seconds of chanting, the amulet would slowly lift into the air, rising to its peek, the amulet would reflect a rectangle of light onto the map, signalling where Aurora is. "She is in..." I look closer to the map, "Oh my god" Freya spits, swallowing her pride while looking at the map... "Shes in New Orleans" I say while my eyes pointing up at Freya, watching her reaction.
"So the crazy bitch is in town then?" I hear someone say behind me, looking back I see my Hayley, my mother. I look back at Freya as she seems a bit shaken up from Hayley over hearing us talking about Aurora's return.
She walks up behind me, leaning her arms on the back of my chair while kissing my head before sitting down next to me, saying "Good Morning baby"
"Goodmorning" I say solidly, my arms crossed a bit.
She looks at me, then at Freya, "Is Lucien back?" Hayley asks, looking at Freya dead in the eye while tilting her head like a puppy wanting a treat, in this case, information.
"I am not sure" she responds, "There is no way to find out".
"We had something of Aurora's because Klaus kept it, we have nothing that Lucien owns." I explain looking at Freya, then my mother...
After a few minutes of awkward silence Hayley breaks it "We need to tell Klaus", Freya looking at her in concern.
"What about Camille" she says, trying to force some possibilities into Haley's brain.
"It was Lucien who killed her, not Aurora, we can safely tell him about her" she says, trying to damper some of Freya's nerves all while trying to be an authority figure and the badass she is at the same time.
"I will come with you" I say while getting up and leaving the room with my mother. I closely follow my her while we walk through the compound and up the stairs, into the living room.
"Klaus, we need to talk to you" Hayley says when spotting Klaus sipping coffee out of his mug while watching TV. He puts it down, getting up with a devilish smile.
"Goodmorning" He says while walking to us and then stopping before he gets to close.
"Aurora is back" I say, breaking in straight away. I can see the smug expression on my Fathers face fall when I mention her name.
"What..." He asks, knowing exactly what I said, he wants insurance.
"Aurora is back" Hayley says softly, "Hope and Freya did a locator spell and she is in New-Orleans" she continues, looking at my his face become slightly enraged.
I sway my body a bit, to look at my mother and then my father, "So... how come everyone is so bothered about this but me?" I ask.
Klaus looking at me and explaining "She is stronger and faster than us and one bite from her can kill any vampire".
"Even an original" Elijah cuts in while walking through the living room doors, accompanied with Rebekah, Freya and Kol. My face drops a bit, not thinking it was the truth but the thought running across my mind was Why would they lie to me?.
"You ain't being serious are you?" I ask while looking around at the disturbed faces of my family members.
"That's how our oldest brother, Finn died... A bite from Lucien" Elijah replys, squinting his eyes again with concern. I look around again at my family members faces again, all but nodding when my eyes reach them.
I then look at Klaus "How do we kill her? White Oak stake?" I ask, my eyebrows raising.
"That's the thing, we don't know how to kill her" Rebekah explains. I look at her, thinking to myself that If Rebekah is being serious, this Aurora girl must be a serious threat. After that, I return to my lazy self and sit down on the nearest chair, putting my legs up, continuing the discussion.
"How did you survive last time?" I ask, "We didn't, she left to look for a way to save her brother who is rotting at the bottom of the ocean, he was a dick" Kol says, in an amused manner.
"Brother, if you will not take this seriously, you can do us all a favor and leave!" Elijah breaks out, his annoyed, disrespectful voice was enough to send Kol in a frenzy, in the space of a second, Kol Vamp-speeds towards Elijah, grabbing his neck, pushing him into a wall and lifting his feet off the ground, threatening Elijah with his fangs out.
Klaus then quickly speeds towards Kol grabbing his arm and throwing him into the wall, bouncing off it, Kol returns to his standing position instantly. "This is not a time to fight! Aurora is out there and you are wasting your energy fighting each other" Klaus shouts, Elijah and Kol, staring eachother down.
"Hes right... We need our strength for the fight to come" Rebekah says.
Breaking their stares, they both turn their heads to Rebekah, the anger leaving their faces while sense enters their little brains. I watch, a tiny bit amused but still concerned, "Me and Hope don't use Ancestral magic anymore, we can hurt her without being weakened" Freya says.
While keeping our eyes on the discussion. "Hope's magic is strong but it is unreliable" Klaus shouts at Freya, his adrenaline high from the past argument.
Feeling offended, I break in "My magic is reliable... I located Aurora, didn't I?" looking at Klaus as he replied.
"Only with the help of Freya, you are not going to be there when we actually fight, thats what im trying to get across" I look at him.
Standing up in anger, my voice raises to a shout "Of Course im going to be there, i'm not going to stay here while you get slaughtered!".
"No, you are not, Hope." Hayley starts.
Looking at her, I continue to shout "Yes I am! I am a Hybrid and I am more powerful than all of you, you can't tell me what to do anymore" I look around, the veins in my eyes start to darken and my eye turns bright yellow, everyone standing there ground.
"Don't you think for a second you are going out there!" Klaus shouts back at me, my head turns towards him.
Fueled with rage, wind starts to form around me, papers fly everywhere, I look my father dead in the eye, not noticing the wind that is blowing all loose papers everywhere.
After a few seconds of staring each other down, the room starts to shake, pictures fall of the walls, then things start to catch fire. Rebekah, Hayley, Kol and Elijah are lifted up into the air, as if the gravity holding them down was not there.
Freya walks towards me struggling as the wind pushes her back, "Control!" Freya screams at me.
My eyes pointing at her, I start to feel the room shaking and the papers blowing, how long was this happening?
As I am back in my normal state now, my eyes return to normal and the wind starts to dampen down, tilting my head back, suppressing my powers, the room starts to become still.
Kol, Rebekah, Hayley and Elijah drop to the floor violently, looking at them as they are on their knees, I start to feel guilt overwhelm me.
Then I looking at my father, him staring back at me, his face watching me in sympathy.
After my father, I look towards Freya, she is staring at me taking deep breaths while i can hear her heart beating fastly...
I can't be here, I think to myself as the doors burst open.
I run out of them, running towards my room, getting inside before slamming it shut and locking it. I lay on my bed, staring at the ceiling while agonizing in the thought of how I lost control, but I am fighting and they cant stop me If they wanted to.
