•Alive & Kicking
I look over my appearance once again in the long dressing room mirror. I'm dressed in a tight fitting crop top/ skirt two piece set paired with white high heels, a pair of expensive red sunglasses sit up in my hair.
"I'm going to wear this out the store, I'm in need of new clothing." I smirked to my long time friend, Selene.
"It does look good on you." She replied as we walk up to the counter so I could purchase the items we'd picked out. We leave the boutique with arms full of bags as something across the street catches my eye.
"You see that guy over there?" I asked eyeing the young boy he's tall with brown hair and gorgeous blue eyes; he appeared to be causing little bits of trouble, blowing up a girls dress, knocking down some apples.
"Looks like a tasty little witch." Selene smirked as the two of us watched him for a second longer.
"He seems familiar." I said as we began walking to my pink Porsche.
"Uh how? You barely observed him." Selene replied climbing into the passenger seat, I flipped my glasses over my eyes and climbed into the passenger seat.
"I can't put my finger on it, it's just a feeling." I replied shrugging shooting him one last look before peeling off towards the compound.
"Puppy prints really." Selene said distastefully staring at the trail of blood on the floor."This is why I'm not staying here."
"I'm going to mind my business and just put my bags down then we can go." I replied speeding off and up to my room. I placed my shopping bags down on the bed and pulled my phone out of my purse. I quickly called the only other person I could truly talk to.
"Bex." I smiled as her gorgeous face popped up on my screen.
"Little Angel." She replied.
"I saw something very interesting today." I started, she looked at me skeptically but didn't say anything."There was this boy in the quarter today."
"Aniyah Christian are you thinking of dating?!"Rebekah shrieked.
"If you would have let me finish." I said playfully." No, he just reminded me of Kol, he was a witch and doing little witchy things but it seemed very Kol-ish."
"Aniyah, I understand you miss my brother very much but you cannot get your hopes up." Rebekah said making me frown.
"I just wanted a second opinion Selene didn't agree either." I replied.
"I don't want you to get your feelings hurt, but if you're heart is telling you it could be him then find out." Rebekah said with a small smile."It wouldn't hurt to have my favorite brother back."
"Thank you Bekah. I've gotta go Selene's waiting for me." I said with a smile.
"Ah tell the best friend I said hi."Rebekah replied as we both hung up.
1821 (Aged 219) New Orleans, Louisiana
I finally feel the dagger is gone but I still cannot move until someone presses something bloody to my mouth. I feel myself growing stronger again as the sweet euphoria runs down my throat I sit up in my coffin and smirk as I see Kol standing before me feeding straight from what appears to be a servants neck.
"We're awake?" I asked in shock before sinking my teeth into the other side of her neck the two of us quickly wiped out the rest of the servants and we're now standing in he middle of the courtyard in a tight embrace.
We separate as we hear the others enter the room, Kol grinned happily at Klaus while Elijah looked terrified.
"Bravo! That was delectable."Kol said as he began clapping, I shook my head as I clapped along with him."But make no mistake Nik, I'm still crossed with what you did to us. But as far as apologies go it's a start."
"Speak for yourself."I muttered as I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms. I sped off and followed my nose to lead me to Bekah's room.
"Aniyah?" Rebekah asked in shock climbing to her feet, her eyes looked a bit puffy as if she had been crying.
"Yes, Niklaus decided to wake Kol for some petty reason so here I am." I replied flopping onto her bed.
"And here I thought it was to make up for what he did to me." Rebekah replied standing up and going to her closet, she pulled out a light blue dress and tossed it on the bed before going into her dresser and pulling out undergarments.
"What did he do that has you so upset?" I asked watching her move around the room.
"I wanted to turn someone I loved, be with him forever like you and Kol will be and he killed him before I could."Rebekah replied sadly."Tossed him to his death before the conversation even concluded."
"I really can't stand your brother." I nearly growled, Bekah handed me the clothes and directed me to her washroom so I could freshen up after being desiccated for over a hundred years.
After speaking with Bekah I head out to Rousseau's intending on getting a few drinks since Elijah had failed to stock up on red wine for me, and their liquor was too strong for my tastes.
Shortly after I arrived I overhear, Davina with the boy from earlier and I can't help but to listen in unfortunately I didn't hear anything I needed to hear before Davina stepped out to make a phone call.
I go back to sipping on my fruity drink until I overhear something that peaks my interests immensely.
"Our mother wants answers, and if you can't get them, we'll do this my way." I turn my head slightly and notice it's a darker skinned man,whom along with "Kaleb" I have never seen before until today. Not too long after the man leaves another guy announces a private party and every makes their way out to leave, I However take my time since I've got half a martini left.
Once they start hassling Davina, I finish my drink I move to her side to protect her if necessary.
"She said get out her way." I spat at the mutt who simply smirked at us, before long he's on his knees clutching his head, the others however start to circle us.
"Can you do that with the rest of them or?" Kaleb asks in a panic
"Not at once." Davina said fearfully as I moved in and started to fight the two closest two me. I managed to rip ones heart out but the other got lucky and took a bite clean out my left arm.
Davinas laying all the way on the other side of the room as the werewolves move in on her. Kaleb ends up being knocked behind the bar. I turn my attention back to the wolf who bit me and punch his head clean off his shoulders.
Another werewolf takes a bite out of my leg before they send me flying behind the bar not to far from where Kaleb's laying.
"Shit, Aniyah." He mutters scooting closer to check over my injuries.
"Let go of her! You filthy dogs." My entire world goes black as the last thing I hear is the voice of a menace, Mikeal.
"Upendo." I opened my eyes slightly at the sound of the voice, sitting beside my bed in a white fuzzy chair sat my mother.
"Mom." I smiled weakly.
"Baby, you're hallucinating." She replied bluntly making me chuckle. I sat up in my bed and reached out to take her hand.
"I did get bitten twice."I said with a shrug."Niklaus probably already healed me and I'm just waiting on it to kick in."
"I don't have much time baby." She replied as her chocolate eyes teared up a bit."But trust me baby you are right never question your intuition."
I shut my eyes and reopened them and then she was gone, Elijah now occupied the seat.
"That was a pleasant experience." I smiled looking over at Elijah who rolled his eyes.
"Aniyah, you bit me on the way here." He replied, I just shrugged.
"I don't remember. I guess my body goes on autopilot while my subconscious gets peace."
"Sounds like a witch saved you of the torture, a werewolf bite is no laughing matter sister, if we did not live with the cure you would be dead." Elijah chastised.
"Always in Uncle Eli mode." I replied as the smile dropped from my face."Was that really Mikeal back there?"
"Indeed it was, Mother is also back."
"You Mikealson's never stay dead." I said in disbelief.
"Annoying isn't it?" He said dabbing the sweat from my forehead with his handkerchief."Aniyah I must tell you now, it is about to get extremely dangerous and I feel the best course of action is for you to stay with Rebekah."
"I have my own business to take care of here, I will not be leaving." I replied sitting up and walking to my wall sized mirror checking over my appearance the blood had been cleaned from where I had been bitten and amazingly my outfit was still spotless.
Coven House
Kol grabs Finn by the shirt and shoves him up against the wall angrily.
"What the bloody hell was that?"
"You need to calm down." Finn replies.
"You almost got me killed! Those wolves didn't just go after Davina they went after me too."Kol yelled letting his grip on Finn go just as Esther joined them inside the room.
"I'm aware. I gave the order, the attack had to look convincing." Esther replied looking between her two sons.
"Look at my head. This isn't gonna heal for weeks." Kol said pointing to the cut he received from being thrown into the bar. I haven't had a scar in a thousand years."
"You'll live. And most importantly Davina will feel indebted to you. She will seek you out to apologize for what she perceives was an attack, she caused as I planned."Esther stated.
"I've had enough of your plans. You stick me in this body and make me sneak around like some common toady. I had to watch my wife get bitten today and I couldn't help her. If this is the grand new life you planned for me then you can have it back." Kol snapped with the flick of her arm Esther had him on his knees as she inflicted a painful migraine on him.
"What the hell was that."I said blinking. I saw everything and felt everything Kaleb who I now know for sure is Kol felt. I gripped my steering wheel tightly and sighed. Today was literally my first day back in town, I'd left with Bekah to care for Hope months ago and it was already filled with drama.
"You look like shit." Selene said climbing into the passenger seat.
"Thanks for noticing." I said sarcastically as we drove off. I needed to pay a witch who had zero connection with New Orleans a visit to tell me what the hell is going on. After driving for about an hour we arrived at Selene's witches house. We stepped out the car and headed up the steps, Selene knocked on the door and a young man in maybe his early 20's answered. He had fair skin with short brown hair and stubble.
"Hi babe." He smiled as she stepped inside the house and the two started to disgustingly lock lips.
"Hi, I'm Nia the best friend can you invite me in." I said after clearing my throat, he thought it over for a second before nodding.
"Come in."
I smiled as I stepped over the threshold and took a seat on the loveseat, Selene disappeared into a different room while the witch sat before me.
"So what brings you here?"
"I had like a freaky vision earlier, and I somehow slipped into a peaceful werewolf bite sleep." I replied he looked deep in thought for a second before standing in front of me, he looked at me skeptically.
"You know any witches?"
"Tons." I replied slightly annoyed"You think somebody casted a positive spell on me for once?"
"Sounds like a mixture of a linking spell and a protection spell." He replied." The linking spell might be how you had the vision and felt the pain, the protection spell must have helped with you not going rabid from the venom."
"So I've got a guardian angel of some sort." I asked with a raised eyebrow.
"If you let me peak inside your head I could probably find out who it is." He offered but I shook my head.
"I'm quite aware you know my last name and why you can't peak in my head." I retorted with a snort he just waved him arms in surrender."Ido however need one more thing from you before I go."
"And that will be?"
"Let's say my dead husband is inhibiting in someone else's body could you still do a locator spell on him?"
