Chapter 3 - Impending Doom
(Dream World, Lila's Pov)
When I appeared in the dream world it was lovely and sunny so the Mikaelson siblings were having a picnic outside but they currently had their backs to me so I said "well isn't this lovely and cosy!"
They were all surprised when they looked and saw me and Rebekah vamp sped over to me and pulled me into a hug as she said "Lila!" I chuckled and hugged her back and said "hey Bekah"
She looked happy to see me and she soon enough pulled away but I didn't have much of a break before I was pulled into a hug by Freya who greeted me then the same with Elijah and when he pulled away that just left Kol.
Kol and I looked at each other and after a moment rushed to each other and pulled each other into a close relieved hug as he said "Lila" I just said "Kol" when we pulled apart he said "I think I feel you holding my hand outside of here"
I chuckled and nodded as I said "yeah I jumped in here through your mind because I've linked minds with you before so our connection is stronger, more stable"
They nodded and Freya said "so I'm guessing Hayley found you?" I nodded and said "yeah few weeks ago now, we've been searching for a cure for all of you together"
Rebekah said "any luck?" I said "not at first, but we're going to try Nik's idea first, gather all the venom of the different wolf packs to try and create a cure from that, but no luck on anything that can cure yours or Freya's problem yet, we've been trying to find a cure for all of you I swear"
Elijah said "maybe that's the problem, you've been trying to find a cure for all of us at the same time, maybe you should focus on finding the cures one by one, one at a time"
I nodded slightly and said "you have a good point there, we'll do that, but since yours and Kol's is the one that's apparently incurable that is the one we will focus on first"
They nodded and Freya said "how many samples of werewolf venom have you got so far?" I sighed sadly and said "only 1, it's hard trying to single out a wolf from each pack, they're not always the easiest to find and they don't really co-operate very well, and they're not always in nearby area, they're all over the place"
They understood that and realised that we're lucky to have 1 already after just 4 weeks or so of searching, then we sat down together in the picnic area and spent a bit of time together, Elijah, Bekah Kol and I were reminiscing about fun times we used to have and filling Freya in on a couple of fun things we did in the past.
After a couple of hours or so though the others worried when my nose started bleeding so I just wiped it away and said "that's my cue to leave, time's up here, sorry" they started saying that they understand and don't blame me for having to go.
We said our temporary goodbyes and just before I left I said "oh by the way Elijah, Hayley told me to tell you that she loves you" Elijah smiled happily and slightly sadly as he said "tell her I love her too"
I nodded slightly sadly and said "I will, I promise you, all of you, we will find a way to save you, I won't let any of you die permanently, I never have and I never will" they nodded again and I left.
(Back in Real World, Time Skip)
It had been another 4 weeks or so now and I had regularly visited the others in the dream world to keep them updated while also locating more werewolves from different packs so Hayley could continue getting samples.
We now have 2 samples, we thought we had 3 but we made a mistake of getting venom from two people in the same pack, we thought they were from different packs.
This night though is when everything started going wrong, I was just getting out of the shower when certain warning signs appeared, warning signs that happen to alert members of my witch family to our ascensions, when the signs appear it means you have 2 weeks before your Ascension Day, that was just terrible news right now.
I ended up just going to bed straight after that.
In the morning I was in the living room watching over Hope while Hayley was in the shower and doing her morning routine, she didn't take very long so soon she was dried and dressed so she was with us in the living room now and we took Hope to play outside in the flowers, have a little picnic in the sun.
It was late in the afternoon when Hayley finally started questioning why I was being so quiet today and brooding more than usual so I just said "I guess I just wish finding the cures was easy so we could find them sooner rather than later"
She nodded in agreement accepting that as an answer but it was only part of the reason I was so quiet today.
We had just finished dinner later in the evening when an idle thought crossed my mind but something made it stick and I decided it was something I should do so I grabbed my keys and my jacket so Hayley said "where are you going?"
I just smiled slightly and said "into the beast's den" she looked confused until she realised what I meant then she said "what?! Are you crazy?" I shrugged and said "depends on who you ask"
She gave me a stern look then she said "it's way too dangerous" I shook my head and said "it's not like he can kill me Hayley, I need to do this" she looked unsure so I just said "stay here with Hope, stay inside where it's safe, nobody can touch you in here, if anything happens call me and let me know ok? I'll be back as soon as I can" she nodded reluctantly then I went into my car and started speeding off as fast as legally possible to New Orleans.
