Chapter 2

One week later….

Benjamin received a call from his search team.

The conversation went as follows….

SP told him that 'mutual friend' has been found.

"Good work. What happened to him?" Benjamin asked anxiously.

They told him what had happened. Benjamin became furious at what he heard.

"All right then. Where is he?" Benjamin asked barely containing his anger.

They answered him.

"Ok. We will be there shortly." Benjamin said before he hung up.

Benjamin summoned everyone in concert hall. After everyone was gathered hoping for good news. He told them what the situation is and stated his opinion. Everyone agreed.

Back in the chamber…

"Your resolve is admirable son but you will break soon enough. I think you will be pleased to know that Michael was staked by Nicklaus again and also I have brought news about Rebecca." Ester said as she was filling his wounds with vervain.

Elijah was barely conscious as he heard his mother's words. He was feeling numb in his wounds. the pain he was feeling was too much for any single man to handle. He hated to admit it but his mother was right. He was nearing his breaking point indeed. He was not sure if he could survive tomorrow without breaking. To keep his mind off pain he asked what news about his sister.

Ester replied, "Both she and Nicklaus have already broken down and are going to be purified by me very soon. The only reason I haven't done it already is because they should be punished for disobeying me for so long. Don't you think it would teach them a lesson, Elijah?"

Elijah said that she was not the mother he remembered when he was human. The transformation she had undergone had made her indifferent to brutally or love.

Just as ester was about to apply more vervain the building began to shake and rooftop collapsed.

"Yo Elijah. Finally found you. It's time to get out of here. Others are waiting for you." Marcel said to Elijah.

"Marcel. You think you alone can rescue Elijah from me. Don't forget that I am the one who is in power here." Ester said this and thrust her hand towards Marcel who fell to his knees.

"Hate to break it to you witch, but I am not alone." Marcel said.

"You think you and a bunch of streetrats are any match for me. I am one of the most powerful witches of all times. My werewolves army can rip each one of you to pieces in seconds." Ester said.

Due to all the commotion finn and all the werewolves had gathered on the side of ester while vampires gathered to the side of Elijah and Marcel. Just as battle was about to begin. A figure landed on the floor with great impact. Dust flew everywhere. Both parties were unaware if the new figure is their enemy or ally so both took fighting stand.

As dust cleared the figure slowly walked towards Elijah.

Recognizing the figure Elijah asked, "Benjamin, what are you doing here?"

Benjamin replied, "We lost contact to you for several months so we started to get worried. So we decided to track you down and here we are. If you are allowing letting me join in Elijah."

Ester was first shocked at the new development but after seeing only one vampire. She laughed and said, "As if it will make such a difference. All of you are going to die here. A single vampire came to aid Elijah in battle. I thought you would have more friends outside New Orleans but it seems I was wrong. He cannot make any difference because he is alone."

"HE IS NOT ALONE." Many voices shouted. Ester looked up to see the above floor filled with witches, werewolves, vampires and even humans. She was very shocked at the mere no of people. They outnumbered her werewolves 2 to 1. There was no way that she was going to win. Before she could give order for everyone to retreat, Elijah told everyone, "Take care of everyone but leave mother to me."

As soon as these words were out of his mouth. There were many screams and sounds of flesh ripping. In no time every werewolf on ester's side was dead and she alone was standing in pool of blood. Suddenly her throat was grabbed by Elijah. She tried to do magic but some witches were cancelling her magic. She thought that she could jump into another body soon. Then she realized she cannot jump into another body because the witches were cancelling all of her power.

"Do you see the difference now mother? These people, my friends, are not related by blood but they still came for me when my own mother turned against me. I loved you mother before we became vampires. The current you stains the memory I have of my mother. The other side has been destroyed so when you die right now it will be for the last time. Farewell mother." These were the last words Elijah spoke to her before he snapped her neck.

The End
