No One's POV
"Hey, did you get everything?" Alexis slides into Jeremy's room slightly out of breathe.
"Yeah, I did. Look, I- I'm all for helping you out, Alexis. You know I promised, no- swore to protect you. But- but are you sure about this?" Jeremy asks, looking so earnest and worried that Alexis pauses for a moment to place a hand on Jeremy's forearm.
"I'm sure. I know this seems pretty bad. Hiding something this big… And leaving… But it's really the only way. They wouldn't let me go otherwise. You know them. And I promise, I know what I'm doing… Mostly. But we need to go. Finn will we back soon. I told him I wanted take out. And I have no idea how long, Nik, 'Lijah, and Kol will be gone in their attempts to track down Crescent Wolf Pack." Alexis says, gesturing for them to leave.
"Alright, well, I trust you, Alexis. And you know I'll do anything to protect you the best I can. You've done so much for me the past month. Since we've been here. And since things with my sister. I know you and the Mikaelsons didn't like her, and I know what she did to you. But you've been a friend… More than that, family. And I could never repay that." Jeremy smiles.
"You don't need to repay me, Jeremy. I care about you. And I know you will protect me." Alexis smiles back, both of them climbing into Alexis' 4 Runner, watching as a few hybrids follow in one of Niklaus' spare Escalades, Niklaus being over paranoid with Alexis safety every time she left the Mikaelson plantation.
"We're going to have to ditch the detail." Alexis comments.
"Already on it." Jeremy nods, turning them towards the interstate and mall Alexis often went to.
"You know Rebekah is shopping."
"Yeah, just trust me." Jeremy waves off, taking the exit for the mall looping through the parking lot a few times waiting for the Escalade to park as he parks the 4 Runner. "Silver Camry, Alexis. I'll distract them."
Alexis nods silently, flattening down almost to the ground as Jeremy hops out and walks towards the hybrids.
"Hey, Alexis just ran in, bathroom you know. Couldn't wait. What can you do?" Jeremy talks rather loudly, his voice tone indicating he was shrugging, feigning nonchalance.
"Seriously? Klaus is going to kill us." Daniel groans lightly, turning towards the mall with the other hybrids he had brought with him.
Jeremy waits a moment, following behind a few steps.
"Dude, what are you waiting for? Come on." Daniel asks, turning back around for the Hunter, Jeremy choosing the moment to strike.
"Sorry, man." Jeremy sighs, twisting Daniel's neck quickly, knocking the hybrid out; the fight was unfair, several against one, but his Hunter instincts has vastly improved with the Originals training him, Niklaus teaching him how to combat his own hybrids, Kol the witches and werewolves, Elijah basically vampires and everything else mostly due to him being alive the longest other than Niklaus, and Finn had his own brand of viciousness when it came to protecting his mate.
The fight was, in all, very short and Jeremy was quickly jogging back to Alexis, sliding into the new car that was rented.
"Everything okay?" Alexis asks, checking things when Jeremy hopped inside.
"Yeah. Ready?"
"Yeah. Ready." Alexis nods shortly, confirming the tickets, cash, id's, and few other essentials they had pre-packed.
"Then let's go. We'll miss our flight." Jeremy offers, key starting the ignition.
Alexis nods, swallowing back a feeling of regret and anxiety, pushing it down otherwise she would go running back and forget about all her plans; no this was for the best, she was doing it for them and for their future.
"I'm sorry." She murmurs, the now familiar scenery of New Orleans flashing by.
Yay for inspiration!
Any ideas what Alexis is up to? And yes, I time skipped one month.
