Chapter 2-Angels and Demons

Thank you for taking your time off to read and review my work. The below chapter is the New Year gift. Posted earlier than planned initially. Please continue to lend me your support.

Time itself seemed to have frozen, so was the horror eyed and worry filled faces of the Mikaelson siblings. Their barely beating hearts went a note or two higher than normal coupled with muted horror. The expression on their undead faces would be photographed and framed for an eternity. They felt themselves falling into a trance and could not move even an inch; it was as if something was holding them back against their will." Move, He needs you; fight that hold and push every bit of its control on you; picture yourself moving" a melodious voice commanded firmly. Elijah took a deep breath and relaxed himself. Taking a lighter out in one hand and phone in other he tried to follow the voice. It soothed his nerves greatly. Elijah had begun to sprint into the woods almost instantly.

All of them collectively failed to notice the sky darkening rapidly even it was just a few minutes after dusk. Dark clouds seemed to have formed mainly above the forest even as a few bolts of lightning escaped at regular intervals, the fact that it was being created by someone or something made it look haunted and unwelcoming even to the eye of a vampire let alone a human. The moon which had begun to come out was covered by the said clouds making it darker and more difficult to navigate.

The others followed the elder brother using their speeds to catch up to both their brothers even as one prayed for their safety. Using the torch on their mobiles to get at least some clarity of the path ahead. Finn never being the one for technology fumbled for a second only to have Kol take it out of his hands and getting the torch on."Thanks "he muttered and proceeded to climb down.

Kol Mikaelson was not at all pleased with how things were going. Back in Mystic Falls, the words spoken by the witch kept resonating inside his mind .Through his whole life he had never really liked his brother Nikalus; never tried to know him actually. He was the youngest of the lot after the death of Henrik and was always left out. While Finn was also isolated, he was eldest and always moping. Kol had gotten through his mourning for the loss of humanity pretty quickly. He wanted to enjoy everything he could. Despite being daggered by Bekah and even Elijah, he never remembered spending any time at all with Nik. He did not hate Nik but just did not like him much either. Never being the one to brood on the past he wondered what changed today.

Unknown to them two men from La Push were watching everything with mild interest. While another of their brother was running to the reservation to alert the others on the reappearance of a demon. Knowing that there was no way to save the hybrid, they prayed to deities above to forgive them for the sin they were about to commit which was ironically not helping the victim.

Even as they tried to stop Nik by trying to pull him up at different points they failed against the laws of Inertia. Rolling down they came to a clearing covered with bones and decaying flesh of animals. The sight Rebekah was greeted to was defiantly not pleasant. Shakily she stopped and tried to compose herself in vain.

In very slow motion the original hybrid was rolling down with twigs in his hair and scratches on his arms and face. His jacket was ripped into shreds at various places. Still unfocused and hazy eyed he was unable to fight back as the waitress from the bar was choking him and the pain he felt earlier multiplied 100 times."Kill me please. Free me from my misery. No one will even mourn me, maybe party hard. " He whispered into thin air to which the waitress grinned manically. Had he turned a bit to the side he could have seen the hurt expression on some of his sibling's face.

A loud ripping sound similar to that of a jack saw against metal and Klaus fell down with a hand cut from below the elbow joint which belonged to his attacker. The waitress grimaced and held her desiccated hand and turned to come in contact with a blade which cut through her in half. A shrill cry was heard and nothing else but a distinct stench of rotten eggs and decaying flesh filled their nostrils. Flinching at the stench they covered their noses.

For a second not even the breathing of a human was heard. Another clean cut as the waitress turned into a black wisp of smoke that rose up high in the air and disappeared. The moment would forever change all their lives then occurred. The dark clouds parted and as light streamed in falling on the person who saved Klaus. A heard of crows appeared out of thin air and flew towards them. The woman merely stretched her hand and concentrated as a white shield enveloped them. A few of the crows burned as soon as they neared the shield. The others vanished as suddenly as they had appeared. Collecting their thoughts they focused on their savior. They gasped immediately at the vision of the woman who stood before them.

"Mother" Finn growled, looking around completely alert and prepared to fight. The others tensed at the mere mention of the phrase.

Klaus P.O.V***

In front of me stood an angel, a very lethal one. Even as I felt my senses returning along with my healing abilities, I could not take my eyes of her. Words couldn't begin to describe her and not even Tatia could hold a candle next to her. She was sending me waves of calmness which was soothing my nerves. I did not want to question how she did it.

She was a good 5'6".Red hair that fell below her waist with golden and brown highlights. An hourglass figure with slender curves and flat face was heart shaped with a slight tan and a blush on her cheek. Perfect petal like lips with the bottom one larger than the top one in a cherry pink tone. The most captivating feature was her doe like eyes. Her long eyelashes just enhanced her eyes. She wore a half sleeve red t shirt and leather pants and a leather jacket with a cross on. High heeled boots in brown shade .There was not a single piece of jewelry except a silver chain without a pendant on her neck. My hands scanned her fingers to find the absence of a ring which meant she had no promised man out in her life and for some fucked up reason it made me happy. She held a ripped of jacket in one arm and a sword she used on the other. I closed my eyes and concentrated on the bond with my siblings, to have their reactions. I was both amused and confound.

The group had multiple reactions at the same time. Rebekah was literally growling in jealousy at the woman's look. Kol being the one with witch abilities could feel the power radiating from her and concluded that she was not to be messed with. Elijah felt a strong pull to the girl one which we both could not understand and also made me invoulantirly growl while Finn felt oddly protective of her along with a strong feel of recognition. Did Finn know her I wondered?

The hand holding the sword lightly loosened even as her eyes moved wildly checking for attackers. A drop of her blood fell on her boots, her scent radiating in that single drop and I was done. The scent of her blood was unsurprisingly addictive and sweet as vanilla with a hint of cinnamon and vodka. Both my vampire and wolf side spoke one word that changed everything Our Mate. All of my siblings gasped. I kept admiring her as if in a trance when her eyes rolled back and fell into my arms, that was where she belonged.

***End P.O.V***

Elijah mustered up all his courage and moved to lift the woman from Klaus's arms but stepped back when his brother's werewolf visage came along with a threatening growl. He held her as tightly and close to him as he could. What was more shocking was Finn who sat in front of Klaus took a deep sigh and spoke "Klaus we need to take her out of here and check for injuries .It is getting colder. Let's go, you can carry her .We came in a car. Rebekah and Kol will go with you "All the while he kept direct eye contact .The wolf went back as the human resurfaced. He quietly picked her bridal style and walked in a way that did not disturb her. Elijah looked at Finn in question and surprise to which the eldest shrugged and spoke "Vampire mates are very possessive. He has found a mate and a human at that after decades so what do you expect .The werewolf side though is an entirely different story."

Kol muttered "May god save us all" throwing his hands in the air dramatically and began to climb up.

Rebekah spoke after processing everything Finn said. He was the one other with a mate after all. Thoughtfully she spoke "Nik should be the one to explain it to the woman. She is in for one hell of a ride".

All the others nodded, they could all feel it; change was just in the horizon.

Jared rushed into the reservation where the pack sat a bit silent. The usually rowdy and fun loving group. However the recent loss they faced affected every wolf in a different way. They were no longer boys but men who had to act up their age and do their duty of protecting the humans. Sensing him Sam immediately got up and questioned what happened

"The Bitch is back." Jared spat.

Paul got up hurriedly "I am going to rip her into pieces. Embry give Chief Swan a call to prepare a cover up for this victim's death"

Glory who was the pack Shaman spoke-"There is no need, the demon has been hunted down by a hunter. I want you to accompany me to a place tomorrow morning."

"What for?"Questioned the Alpha on behalf of his pack. He was always on the edge in the recent days. The seer hardly went out and for her to say that meant it was something very vital

"It's time to get some answers on what is going on here." The woman replied calmly and walked into her accommodation. Rising mixed feelings of curiosity, anticipation and expectation.

The house stood majestically at a raised part of a meadow in the upper class residence of Forks (purely imaginative) .It was a two storey house with architecture of the 70th century. None of the townsfolk however have seen the owner. The only people they had seen were the maintenance crew who came in to clean the house at regular intervals. Nik carried his mate up to the room which was his room. Putting her down, he tucked her in. Rebekah walked in with a first aid kit with Kol on tow who wanted to see his sister in law.

"How is she Nik?" Kol questioned worriedly.

"She has no wounds. What exactly is she; definitely not a witch, werewolf or vampire. The shield she used was something else."Klaus spoke in a low tone.

"I found her ID; her name is Isabelle May Atikin."Elijah spoke entering the room

"Bella "Nik muttered. It sounded so right even as it rolled down his lips.

The shadow of someone appeared near the window." Let The Games Begin "it spoke and vanished as quietly as it appeared.

In the Forks Police station Charlie looked up at the informant." What do you mean someone came to that empty house all out of the blue .The last we investigated no living descendant claimed it for 10 years. Something is not quite right here. I will go and check them out tomorrow."

He looked down at the photo of the house which was were the Mikaelson were staying that night. The house which also was reported to have considerable amount of paranormal activity. Many of the cleaning crew members had reported several injuries.
