Chapter 4
It's a Perfect Life, Sort of
Finn is just lying on the couch, dying of an incurable bite while Freya's corpse just lies on the floor, neck ripped open and her eyes open as well.
None of them know what to do.
Should they find a way to save Finn or should they take care of Freya's body?
Or should they go after Lucien, who technically started all of this?
Davina decides to do a spell that would slow down the hallucinating and the dying until they can find a cure.
Vincent walks in two minutes after Davina did the spell.
"What happened to her?" Vincent asks when he sees Freya's corpse.
"Finn happened." Hayley said judgingly towards a dying Finn.
"Actually, it's technically Lucien's fault. I mean he created what he was and he bit Finn. I mean, if he didn't bite Finn, Finn wouldn't be dying and Freya wouldn't be dead." Davina explains to Vincent while she looks judgingly at Hayley.
Hayley just gives her an annoyed glare.
"Well I should probably take her, as a precaution. Freya's blood will overwhelm Finn and he will kill again, probably Davina this time." Vincent explains to them and lifts Freya's corpse like a baby.
"I bid you a good day and pray you find the cure for that bite." Vincent takes a partial bow and is about to walk out until Davina stops him.
"Wait, there's a cure for this?" Davina asks confused as she points to Finn's bite and Vincent turns around.
"Oh Dee. You know the ancestors, they never make anything happen unless they have a cure for it. You should actually know that better than anyone. Whether she was a New Orleans witch or not, she still died in New Orleans, which means she has to be consecrated here. Those are just the rules. Now, I have to go and consecrate her." Vincent says and walks out before anyone can stop him.
"Great, Now we know there's a cure. We just have to find it and save Finn." Kol says.
A few hours later, Freya wakes up from her neck being torn open.
She partially sits up and grabs the part of her neck that was ripped open but there's no wound or blood to prove it was ever there.
She sees a manly hand pick up a glass of whiskey and start to drink it.
She slowly and quietly gets up and sneaks past the guy sitting on the couch to the door.
She then lightly wraps her fingers around the doorknob, turns the doorknob quietly, and starts to open it.
Once the door is open a small crack, a pocket knife flies past her face, just missing it, and into the doorway.
"I really wouldn't do that if I were you." The man whispers in her ear.
Then she notices the guy's fingers wrap around the knife that is in the doorway which implies that the man is right behind her.
"My apologies, really. If I knew I wasn't supposed to leave, I wouldn't of tried it." Freya says with her heart beating quickly and obviously scared.
"Now, what fun would that be if I told you the rules, Freya Mikaelson?" The guy said even closer to ear than he was before.
"Lucien." Freya says with a tone that's definitely frightened but also annoyed and angry with him and she turns around to see him.
With Freya's back to the door, touching it, she didn't realize how close Lucien was to her.
There bodies are completely close together, like a butter knife couldn't even try to get past there chest.
Lucien's arm was up above Freya's head, his hand with his daylight ring touching the door, and his other hand on her waist slowly making it's way to her mid back.
But Freya didn't realize any of that she was too focused on glaring at Lucien to give her answers.
Freya keeps glaring at him when she feels his hand going down her back and into her visible sight, but before she can say anything, she starts grabbing her head and screaming in pain.
Lucien just holds her until she stops screaming and her body goes limp.
"Did you do it?" Lucien asks when he turns around so he can see Vincent.
"Yes. I restored every memory up until the day you had me take them away." Vincent confirms.
"Good. When she awakens, I can't imagine her being pleasant. I suggest you leave before she does awake." Lucien says to Vincent, Vincent just bows and walks out just as Lucien puts her unconscious body on the couch.
Lucien is looking through records to see which one he wants to play until he hears feet hit the ground and someone stand up.
"I was praying you'd awaken after I at least picked a record." Lucien says and turns around to a pretty pissed looking Freya.
"You took my memories from me. I promised you that I would stand by your side and you took my memories. Ahh!" Freya says very irritated at him and gives him a witch migraine.
"Look, number one, I know what I did was stupid but what can I say I am Klaus' first sire. You couldn't of been expecting anything less from me." Lucien says and Freya partially nods and tilts her head to agree with him.
"Number two, I'm sorry for what I did to you and biting Finn was me being in character." Lucien explains and Freya calms down slightly.
"Why did you take my memories, Lucien?" Freya says softly.
"I thought I wouldn't be able to do it if you knew I had feelings for you. You'd make me believe I'm incapable of hurting you because of my feelings so naturally I came to the conclusion of taking your memories because I can't be convinced to not hurt you if I erased your feelings for me." Lucien explains and he downs the drink he had before Freya woke up the first time.
"Naturally that was first plan, ok. Now what do we do?" Freya asks him optimistically.
"First there is no we right now, there's only a you." Lucien says and Freya looks at him weird.
"Second, Don't you have a brother to save?" Lucien says completing the question after he said second because he bit his hand and bled in the cup of alcohol he drank.
"Take this blood of mine and give it to Finn. This is the only thing that can help his cause." Lucien says as he pputs the glass of blood in her hands and holds them for a minute.
"Alright. Why are you giving it to me?" Freya asks looking at him confused.
"Just make sure Finn gets it. I'm giving you the only cure for that bite. I'm gonna let you go, so you can come and go as you please knowing that I will not scowl you. Once you heal your brother you can leave and never come back. I don't want to be Klaus, I don't want to control you. Now go before I do." Lucien says and walks away from Freya and Freya leaves to the compound.
"Hey guys." Freya says as she walks in the compound.
"Hey? I thought you were dead." Klaus says scratching the back of his head confused.
"Yeah, well that's a long story I will tell you after I heal our brother." Freya says and walks over to sit on the couch where Finn is dying.
"You found the cure?" Hayley asks kind of sounding disappointed.
"Of course I did. Well, it was actually given to me by Lucien." Freya explains as she holds up the glass of blood.
"The cure is blood." Hayley asks.
"Not just any blood, Lucien's blood. The ancestors made the reverse engineered spell similar to Klaus. The only difference is Klaus' blood can't heal Lucien's bite and Lucien's bite permanently takes down originals." Freya explains as she helps Finn sit up and gives him the glass of blood.
"Come on Finn, don't be stubborn now. This is the only thing that can save you." Freya says and she tilts the cup by his mouth and he drinks all of it.
She puts him back down and puts the glass on the coffee table.
"Alright. Now explain, how the bloody hell you're alive." Klaus says angrily.
Freya explains everything but parts of the time she spent with Lucien like how Lucien's blood can only turn her when she's ready to turn because of the spell the Ancestors put on her, basically she told them everything.
Afterwards, Freya looks at her watch, it's 12:30 at night.
"Well, I'd hate to cut this reunion short but I have to go." Freya says and the minute she stands up she darts out of there and off to Lucien's place.
Freya sneaks into the house and then Lucien's bedroom.
Since she took of her shoes in the foye so she just striped down to her bra and underwear in his room and put one of his shirts on and cuddled into bed next to him.
Lucien wakes up in the morning to see a clearly feminine imprint on the bed next to him and Freya skips in still wearing his shirt with a breakfast in bed table.
"Morning, Lucien." Freya says as she cautiously gets on the bed.
"What did you make me?" Lucien asks happy to see she's happy.
"The only thing I can make, cereal. I made you toast and eggs but I burned both of them so I made you cereal." Freya says excitedly.
"You came back?" Lucien asks just looking at her like 'why'.
"Of course I did, I said I would be with you helping defeat bad guys or whatever." Freya says as she puts his hand in hers.
"Well, thank you for the breakfast but me and cereal don't really get along, well actually more of me and milk. I'm lactose intolerant." Lucien says and puts the tray on the nightstand.
"Oh, well I can try another attempt at toast." Freya says and she gets off the bed.
Lucien just vamp speeds her to his bedroom wall so her back is touching the wall.
There bodies are completely close together, like a butter knife couldn't even try to get past there chest.
Lucien's arm was up above Freya's head, his hand with his daylight ring touching the door, and his other hand on her waist slowly making it's way to her mid back.
But Freya didn't realize any of this she was too focused on looking into Lucien's eyes.
Freya keeps looking in his eyes until she notices him leaning in going towards her lips, she just kept looking at his mouth until she felt their foreheads touching and then she started leaning in.
"So, have you made the decision of losing touch with your magic completely?" Lucien asks her.
"Yes, I have. I made that decision the moment I realised I wanted to be with you." Freya says confirming her answer.
"Well then, you should probably complete the transition." Lucien says as he removes his hand on her back and takes out the pocket knife so he can make a small slit on the side of his neck.
Freya looks at the wound intently and then bites down on his neck after she licks the wound.
Freya continues to feed on him especially when she feels vamp veins growing and also felt a pain come shooting through her mouth because her fangs were growing in.
But since she didn't want Lucien to be concerned, she bit down on his neck harder and muffled the moan that came with the pain of her new fangs.
Little did she know that her biting his neck harder made him slightly moan as well.
After the pain was done, she pulled her head away from his neck and looks at him with his blood on her mouth slowly dripping down to her chin and her veins constantly growing and retracting on her face.
"I'm gonna go take a shower." Freya says and walks away from him to use the bathroom.
Lucien just looks after her and once she closed the door to the bathroom he walks to the kitchen to make a real breakfast.
Later that night, Lucien and Freya are arguing about god knows what.
"I can't feel the connection anymore Lucien. I hate it!" Freya says angrily.
"Well, you were the one who wanted immortality and sacrificed your connection with magic to be with me!" Lucien just spat out just as angry as she is.
"Well that's because I my feelings for you would overpower the loss of my magic! Apparently that's not true!" Freya yells back at him.
"Oh no it's true, because guess what, that spell and your transition was based off of true love! You completing the transition wouldn't of worked if we weren't true love! You told me that yourself not long after the Ancestors gave you the idea!" Lucien spat out in two whole breaths.
Freya just looks at him shocked.
"You remembered that?" Freya asks him slowly walking towards him.
"I hung onto every word you said that day because I knew one day I'd take your memories and I should remember those words in case a day like, a day like this would happen." Lucien says somewhat out of breath from all the shouting.
"So, yes, your feelings can overpower this you just have to let it. See, I know what it's like to lose something you can never get back ok. Right now you're still getting use to the transition of it all and I understand that but you just have to let go for a little bit and trust me to help you through ok." Lucien says calmly and strokes her cheek with the back of his hand.
Freya just nods while Lucien walks away from her, shaking his head.
"What's wrong?" Freya asks looking after him.
"I can't, I just- I just can't." Lucien murmurs under his breath.
"Can't what?" Freya asks and Lucien vamp speeds back to her with his hands put on her face and kisses her.
Lucien backs away from her.
"I shouldn't of done that. I mean I wanted to for a while but I shouldn't of done that." Lucien says as he slowly backs away.
"You're right," Freya says just slightly bobbing her head.
"I should've." Freya says and grabs his jacket and pulls him into a passionate kiss.
Eventually the passionate kiss ends, and they're left with their foreheads touching.
They look at each other just knowing what the other wants to do.
"Have you ever done this before." Lucien asks.
"What? Hook-up with someone yes actually I have." Freya says confirming what she thinks the question meant.
"That's not what I meant. Have you ever slept with a vampire before." Lucien asks clarifying the question.
Freya remains silent, still looking at him, but her silence is taken as a no.
They kiss again, more slow, but still passionate.
In this case, they are now making out and Lucien vamp lifts Freya's legs around his waist and vamp speeds her to his bedroom door to start kissing her neck as he puts her down gently.
Freya finds the doorknob to his bedroom and they walk inside.
She takes off his jacket and then he takes off her jacket.
He takes off his shirt after he took off her shirt to reveal a black lace tank top with a white bra underneath.
Freya starts kissing shoulder and going down his arm a second after he took his shirt off.
Then, as they fall back on his bed, passionately kissing with their hands intertwined, he has his mouth travel to her neck and slowly, but surely, she starts moaning.
After that, it's four in the morning and Lucien is watching Freya sleep.
'She thought she could handle sleeping with a vampire, let alone me, and she wanted me to add Lucien flare.' Lucien thought about what he got from in Freya's mind watching her slow breathing as she is out.
An hour later, Freya finally makes movement but Lucien's too busy reading a book.
Freya is partially awake and still manages to grin and blush about what happened last night but she doesn't wake up completely, instead she turns on her other side where Lucien is and snuggled her head in his chest and her body as close to him as possible.
When Lucien realized that she's capable of moving, he moves one of his hands to rub her shoulder and play with her hair as he read.
Lucien just looks at his sleeping girlfriend and decides to disrupt her, so he took hand he used to play with her hair and rub her shoulder and trail it down her bare back and put his hand under the blanket.
Freya's eyes shoot open almost immediately after he started pulling that stunt.
Then Freya's body starts fidgeting as she tries to keep snuggling her head onto his chest.
These attempts obviously fail so she just lifted head up enough to be by Lucien's shoulder and she bites down on it.
After that experience, Lucien removed his hand from under the blanket and Freya resumed sleeping with her on his chest.
Not long after that, Freya is more up and started kissing Lucien's cheek, his neck, his shoulder, and she starts kissing his chest until her phone rings.
Freya ignores her phone as she continues to kiss and go down Lucien's chest so Lucien answers it.
"Hello, Freya's phone Lucien speaking." Lucien says as he's trying to prevent Freya from going down further.
"Lucien? Where's Freya?" A familiar voice on the other end of the phone asks.
"Ohh, hello Nik." Lucien says identifying that Klaus in on the line.
When she heard that, Freya's head perked up and she got more on top of Lucien, now sitting on him, motioning the 'don't tell him I'm here'.
"Freya isn't here at the moment. She's actually in the shower, you know girls, so easily capable of working up a sweat, by excercising of course because she came back from the gym." Lucien explains to Klaus so obviously making an innuendo.
"Can I pass a message along?" Lucien asks before he hangs up.
"Uh no, I was just wondering where she was. Thanks Lucien." Klaus says.
"Anytime, Nik." Lucien says and he hangs up the phone and puts it back on the nightstand.
"Was making that innuendo really necessary?" Freya asks clearly judging him.
"What can I say? I had an opportunity and I went for it." Lucien says looking at her with puppy eyes.
"Doesn't matter. I have to actually take a shower because now Klaus is gonna come over." Freya says she started getting off of him and landing in the spot she was before.
"What makes you say that?" Lucien asks.
"Because when you say things like that it makes him suspicious and want to investigate." Freya says explaining Klaus logic.
"Alright, fair point. Go, take your shower." Lucien says giving up the fight.
"One thing first." Freya says and she goes down on him and ten minutes later she gets off of him to shower so Lucien can finish himself off.
