chapter 7
Holly's P.O.V
After my parents, well after my mother told my father, agreed Sage could stay with us. Me and Sage were sharing a room and Cate and Aria were sharing a room, they were happy for about 10 minutes and then the arguing started. It would last hours, I knew that from experience and when this happened I decided that me and Sage should go and collect her things. Gareth was waiting when we arrived.
"Oh look the slut returns." He slurs, you can tell he has been drinking from the smell and the way he looked, she had only been with us 2 days and he was already a mess. "Oh and her whore cousin joins her, how nice of you both to come back" He goes to hug Sage but I pull her out of the way and he falls to the floor. I scowl at him and he smirks at me. "Well, I wasn't expecting that. You have grown some balls girl." He sneers at me.
"Look, Sage is staying with m-"
"She's not going anywhere my sister isn't going to take her. She is mine." I look around trying to find someone who could help. I see Finn and Kol walking over. My Hero I say in my head and I smile, Sage looks at me like I'm strange but soon catches my drift. Gareth is still on the floor hauling abuse, idiot.
"Whats going on here? Finn asks with his serious tone. Gareth looks at him.
"Go and mind your own business boy." he sneers at Finn and Kol gives him a glare.
"Well maybe Holly and Sage are our business" he states. When he says my name I feel my heart flutter and I look at him with a smile, he just stares in return. "And anyway, should you really be hitting a women? Never mind a women with child." he says casually although I can see the anger growing behind his eyes. Surprisingly Gareth just gets up and walks off without a word.
"Thanks" I say sweetly to Kol, he just stares.
"It wasn't for you, from what I hear Sage will be apart of my family soon." he says "my" as if he is trying to rub it in my face that I will never be apart of his family.
"Well you didn't have to, so thanks." I walk off with tears burning my eyes. I feel Sage's eyes on me the entire time.
I walk to the place me and Kol used to meet, it has a wooden swing and some branches curving to make a cave for when we used to sleep here or f it was raining. I sit on the swing and swing my legs back and froward to create the soothing motion, I hear a crunch behind me and I turn around half expecting Kol. But I was wrong.
"William" I say trying to catch my breath "What are you doing here?"
"Following you, you looked sad. I came to see if I could help." he offers me a smile and I cant even lie, the tears ran down my face as the flood gates opened. He comes over to hold me but I back away, he stinks of Tatia. You would think that they would be a little more subtle about it, wouldn't you?
"Please" I breath out " Just leave me be, I don't need you" But I'm sure Tatia does I slyly comment in my head. I smile at him.
"Are you sure?"
"Of course I am, I wouldn't have offered otherwise would I?" I smile trying to joke, but I really want him to just leave me alone. Cant he understand that? I don't want him.
"No, I suppose you're right." He looks at me "You wont do anything stupid, will you?
I smile "Me? Do something stupid? Please that will never happen." I smile and rub my stomach where my baby is Oh the irony. Pregnant and forced to marry a cheat, of course I'm doing nothing stupid. I smile to myself.
"Oh no you would never do anything stupid." he laughs and motions towards where my hand is and for some reason this fills me with anger. Who is he to call my baby a mistake? I want to scream at him, but knowing it would do nothing I started to swing again and watched as he took the hint to leave. I sat and thought about everything like, what would happen if I was to tell the truth? What would they look like? A little boy with his brown hair and my hazel eyes? Or a little girl with Red hair and his eyes? The perfect little creature. If it was a boy it would be my reminder of Kol, the happy boy of the family. I would shower him with love. I closed my eyes and tried to relax.
A little while later I opened my eyes and took a deep breath in and got up from the swing. It was cold now and you could see the sun setting, spilling over the hills and through the trees. I slowly make my way home.
"Girl." I shiver because the harsh tones did not belong to my uncle as I had expected it to be. I turn around.
"Mikael, you startled me." He grabs me and pulls me in to the wood next to the barn. I couldn't out run him, even if I tried.
"You stupid girl. You have ruined my sons life, you cant let anybody find out about your bastards father, yes?" He shake me during the whole speech. He scares me and I try to stand up for myself.
"I-I-I don't know what you're talking about and even if I did I know when to keep my mouth shut." He grips my arms harder and shakes, I start to feel dizzy.
"You will do as I say. And don't get mouthy, it wont do you any favors." He spits at me. Just when I thought he was about to let me go, he slaps me around the face. I fall to the ground, holding my cheek. We hear a gasp and Mikael turns around to look at me once again. I feel a hand touch my shoulder and help me up, but I flinch away.
"Shush, shush, shush." A voice whispers soothingly in my ear. "What is going on here father?" Elijah's voice filled me with relief. He held me behind him as if he was protecting me.
"Nothing, me and Holly were just... talking, weren't we?" He looks at me with dangerous eyes and I look down at my feet.
"Yes, I tripped and fell." I lied through my teeth so Elijah wouldn't ague or hate Mikael.
"Holly, you don't have to li-"
"She isn't lying are you Blake?" He growls at me and I continue to look at the floor as he cuts me off.
"Leave her, its not good in her condition and never touch her again." Elijah tells Mikael. Mikael stomps off. "You have to say something, keeping quite wont make him stop doing this. It's was dark now so Elijah was walking me through the village to my home. My home was on the edge of town and was the only hut in the village to be made from wood, my grandparents built it. I ts sucluded by plants so nobody can see what we are doing, it privacy. It had blue shutters and at night we put wood over the windows so nobody or any light can get in.
I see the candle light on in mine and Sage's room. I see my father waiting by the window with Robb in his lap. Robb waves at me and my father nods. My father isn't like Mikael, he doesn't hate the children for the feud between families, he blames Mikael. He isn't cruel to the Mikaelson children like Mikael is to the Blake children. I can see my mother trying to catch Cate in the background and I see my Toby lift her up and spin her around, she giggles in the process.
"If I say something I will be punished and so will Kol."
"You're still protecting him after everything he has done?"
"I cant help it, I love him and I cant just act like I have never felt anything for him." I smile remembering when we used to be happy, all thats gone now.
"Well this is where I leave you, your father is coming to the door." He smiles and says goodbye and just as he walks off my father opens the door.
"Holly, there you are. Your mother has been worried sick" He takes my hand and kisses my head. He pulls me in to the house. "We thought something had happened to you." He says as he hugs me.
"No I was just walking and I lost track of time." I smile and breath in my fathers scent that is always so soothing to me, vanilla and cherry.
"Whats wrong with you face?" My mother asks as she walks into the room. She runs over and gently touches my cheek, I wince.
"I fell" I lie and I can see her give me a questionable look.
"Really? she asks, I know she knows that im lying becasue she has that sparkle in her eye.
"Ivy, leave the girl alone. She is tired." I smile at my parents. I always wanted a relationship like that when I was older someone to love, someone to hold me and protect me and our children.
"Dont tell me what Holly is Eric. She needs rest but she cant walk around being slapped by people." She truns to me "Who did this?"
"Mother its not important, please Elijah sorted it." My father looks unhappy and so does my mother, but all I want is to crawl into my bed and sleep.
"Ok, fine. Get to bed sweetheart." They both kiss my forehead after my mother has rubbed some of her cream, that Bree gave her, on my head.
I walked into my room to see Sage playing with her hair.
"You alright?" I ask.
"Yes, just thinking." She smile but her eyes look distant.
"Well that dangerous if you ask me." I smile "Come on, you know you can tell me everything by now. I swear it will always stay between me and you, you're like a sister to me." I pull her into a hug and we stay in an embrace for a while.
"Me and Finn want to be married Sunday, but the vicar wont do it because I'm... Not pure." I see tears spring into her eyes.
"Oh, Sage, come on" I hug her again, I hate seeing her like this. She cries into my shoulder for a while and soon falls asleep.
I decide to talk to my parents, I walk out into the back of our hut where they like to sit and watch the night together. "Mother? Father?" They both look up. My father has my mother in his lap and she is resting her head against his chest with her eyes closed. Although my father is kind, I would never go against him because I know he an be harsh, I don't think he will ever let me be with Kol. I'm surprised he took me being pregnant this well.
"Holly, we thought you had gone to bed" My mother says, she smiles and shivers, so my father holder her more tightly and kisses her hair.
"I had but I want to talk to you about something." They stare and motion for me to continue. " You let Sage stay in the house but Finn has a home for him and her but they can't move in together until they're married. The vicar wont wed them though and..." I trail off with a smile.
"And you were hoping I would pull a few strings?" My father finishes my sentence. "OK Ill see what I can do. Ivy wants her happy so she will be. This Sunday how does that sound?" I laugh and nod eagerly.
"Perfect"
