Lexa's POV:
I do not know if Indra wants this baby and I certainly doubt that she is even aware that she is now a mother to an unborn child. Though it is one of the main concerns, the most important of them all is that our enemies will become the child's enemies. The baby will be seen as an easy target and I will certainly not lose another member of my family.
Callie: Are you going to stare at me all night or are you going to answer my question?
Snapping me out of my thoughts, I can see why this girl intrigued Indra. She is what would be considered as the sarcastic type.
Lexa: I am Alexandria Coppice, Indra's sister.
She looks at me with realization and doesn't say a word. I takes my eyes off her and look towards Spencer.
Lexa: Spencer, would you gives us a moment in private, please.
Spencer: Sure, you all can talk in there.
She points to a room which is lighted in candles, seeming like a practice quarter.
After pacing around the quarter and trying to calm my thoughts, I decide it is best to just ask the girl questions.
Lexa: So, have they been holding you here against your will?
Callie: They lured me out to the lake, where I was looking for a particular someone from my pa... family, but they grabbed me and did all these weird witchy whatever to see if I was actually pregnant. I don't get it, I mean your sister is a vampire, vampires are considered dead they can't have children.
Lexa: Perhaps, if you knew my sisters story it would explain how this is possible.
I take a seat next to the girl, studying her carefully. Oh the story she's about to hear.
Lexa: In the beginning our family was human. A thousand years ago, now. My oldest sister Anya, myself, Indra, and our step-brother Cage. Although our mother practiced in the dark arts, we were just a family trying to survive in a time where it was quite difficult to do so. And for better or worse, we were happy. That is however, until one night Cage was killed by our villagers greatest threat. Men that could transform into wolves during a full moon. Our family was devastated. None more than, at the time our step-father and Cage's real father, Dante. Desperate to protect the rest of us, Dante forced our mother to call upon her dark magic to make us stronger, immortal. Of course with this speed, this strength, this immortality came with a hunger for human blood. And no one felt this hunger more than Indra. When she killed for the first time we knew what she truly was. I heard her yell in terrible pain and as I ran to her, Dante stopped me. Seeing what Indra was becoming, made him disgusted in knowing that his very own adopted step-daughter was a mixture with the beasts that killed his own and only son. Indra wasn't just a vampire.
Callie: She was also a werewolf.
I nodded in confirmation.
Callie: And that's how the werewolf curse works, it doesn't activate until your very first kill.
Lexa: My mother had found Indra as an infant in the dying arms of her biological mother near a hidden swamp. Her last dying words were to protect Indra from the villagers, my mother always wondered why her last request was specifically that. That night we found out why. Infuriated, Dante forced my mother, once again, to cast a spell that would suppress Indra's werewolf side. Denying any connection with her true self. She begged for my and Anya's help but we didn't listen. We both were all too scared to go against our step-father.
Callie: Your step-father's an asshole.
I smirk and laugh small in her choice of words but she was right on all counts to call him that.
Callie: I'm Callista by the way. Callie for short. You should probably know my name if you're going to to tell me your whole life story. And I know yours sorta, your family is legendary. Your sister is a notorious asshole. Who I slept with, classic me.
Lexa: I can not excuse her behavior but you must understand that our step-father hunted us for centuries. He blamed us for his son's death and our mothers. Our mother died trying to stop Dante from almost killing Anya for protecting Indra and I from his psychotic temper. Ever since then, every time we found a moment of happiness we were forced to flee. Even here in Burlington, where we were happiest of all. Not long after Indra broke the spell that suppressed her hybrid abilities, she and Anya defeated Cage's father but did not get to end his life. After Dante was severely hurt, Anya was going to end him yet, he managed to dagger her with an white oak stake that we did not know he contained. Indra was severely hurt as well and was too weak to chase Dante but did manage to get to Anya in her last moments. I, was not there to help with the fight. I was instructed by Anya to hide our two, at the time newly, adopted siblings and then to go back to help with Dante if needed. I... I was not fast enough... When I got there Anya was in Indra's arms. She was dying... we knew there was nothing we could do.
As Indra and I held her in her final moments she made me promise to her to protect our siblings at all costs and to remember that family is first no matter what. Indra feeling that Anya died due to her fault of not being strong enough, though we tried endlessly to assure her that it wasn't her fault, she would not listen. Anya's death and knowing that Dante still lived made Indra angrier than ever. And I'm really hoping that this baby can be way for my sister to find happiness. A way to save her from her self.
Callie seems as she's about to say or ask something but then is cut short by Spencer responding to me.
Spencer: I'm glad you agree. Because we need your help.
I turn and face Spencer, becoming a quite bit annoyed of being interrupted.
Lexa: What is it precisely you want and what does it have to do with Callista?
Spencer: We want to run Lincoln and his vampires out of town. Indra is the key to that. Everything Lincoln knows about being a vampire, he learned from Indra. Lincoln trusts her, looked up to her. He won't see the betrayal coming.
I am becoming the ut most tired of people trying to use us for their own reasons.
Lexa: I'm sure you're aware the Indra doesn't like being told what to do.
Spencer: That's why I brought you here.
I swear if it wasn't for the capture of Callie, I would just flee and take Callie with me. But these walls remind that I am deeply within witch grounds, where they are the strongest and I do not want them to cause any harm to Callie, to the unborn child.
Spencer: Lincoln drove out the wolves decades ago.
She then glances at Callie, then back to me.
Spencer: Do you really think he's going to welcome a possible hybrid baby with its prego werewolf mother? Convince Indra to help us and Lincoln won't know about the newest member to your family.
Lexa: That's sound remarkably like black mail.
Spencer: Like I said, I'm desperate.
We share an intense stare. More so of a stare down. Thinking it through, I need to make sure Callie is safe at all costs. And at the moment she belongs to the witches. I decide it is best to go along with this plan, for now.
I smirk widely, still maintaining eye contact with Spencer.
Lexa: Well then, seems I have my work cut out for me, don't I?
Lexa's POV:
After my meeting with the witches, they gave me the location of Indra using a Locator Spell. Peering around a building, I spot Indra on the balcony of our hold home. Fixing my eyes on my younger sister I could see where Lincoln got his style from. I climb quickly to our old roof and walk quietly to where I could jump down on the the same balcony as Indra. Landing perfectly behind her, I see her head tilt towards my way but not fully for I know she recognizes my presence.
Indra: Evening, Alexandria.
Lexa: Indra.
Indra: What an entirely unwelcome surprise.
Lexa: An entirely unsurprising welcome.
I look at my sister, she truly hasn't changed much but she has changed. I admit, I missed her.
Lexa: Come with me-
Indra: I'm not going anywhere. Not until I find out who wants me here.
Lexa: I believe I just found that out for you.
She then looks at me questionably.
Lexa: Come with me, please.
3rd persons POV:
Indra: No it's impossible!
Lexa: I said the same thing myself.
Indra: This is a lie. You are all lying! Vampires can't have children!
Spencer: Can't? Magic made you a vampire but you were born a werewolf. You're the first of your kind. And this pregnancy is one of Natures loop holes.
Indra proceeds to turn and walk dangerously close to Callie.
Indra: You've been with someone else admit it!
Lexa interferes by putting herself in front of Callie, protecting her.
Callie: Hey! I spent days held captive because they think I'm carrying some magical hybrid baby. Don't you think I would've come clean if it wasn't yours?
Spencer: My sister gave up her life to do the spell that confirmed the pregnancy. Because of Aria's sacrifice the lives of this girl and your baby are now controlled by us. We can keep them safe or.. we can kill them, if you don't help us take out Lincoln.
Lexa steps forwards in protest and is about to speak but she decides to stay silent.
Spencer steps closer to Indra.
Spencer: So help me, for the sake of your childs life because the mother won't live long enough to see her first maternity dress.
Callie: Excuse me?!
Lexa: Enough of this! If you want Lincoln out of this town I'll run him out myself.
Everyone eyes Lexa and as Lexa looks up to meet Spencer's eyes they are not found. That's when they all turn to find the witches present along with Spencer on the floor unconscious. Before any of them could react a dark figure appears, walking towards them slowly. Both Indra and Lexa immediately move in front of Callie in their fighting stance.
Chill out, prissys. The figure calls out.
The light then reaches this unknown being, showing off her beautiful face in an instant with a matching glowing smile. Eyes almost black yet the light reflecting shows they are truly just a dark brown. Sun kissed skin with a body of a model. Wearing a dark red leather jacket opened, revealing a black tank top that matches her skin tight jeans. Timberlands are the choice of shoes just to finish off her perfectly put outfit.
Both Indra and Lexa relax in realization on who the figure is. But are still in a sort of shock for they haven't seen her in what seems way too long.
Callie: And who are you? she says confused.
Indra: This is our second youngest sibling-
Lexa: Raven.
