Reincarnation 3 – Chapter 7
Cassern
Theo's POV
It's morning, I come downstairs to find Noah dropping his blood into a vial "What are you doing?" I ask him even though its obvious "Putting my blood in a vial." He answers "Why?" I ask again, curious, "None ya." He answers. I sigh "Uncle, we can't keep secrets from each other." I say, Noah scoff at what I said about to say something but the doorbell rings and Noah answers the door, it's the Rogue Witch, Kinkade "Hey Tri-guy." He greets. I glance at him then turn away from him, ignoring him. They go upstairs.
I decide to leave and give them some privacy, I walk through the city with nothing to do. Father said he would find Uncle Elijah on his own, I continue to exploring the city when I spot Kinkade in a crowd. I vamp-speed snatching him from the crowd into an alley where no one can see us. I have him by his throat and Kinkade grins like a psycho "We gotta stop meeting like this." He struggles to say, "What are your intentions with my Uncle?" I ask, this made him cackle loudly. I give his throat a little squeeze "What are your intentions?" I ask again getting angry, he continues grinning "I think, you know what my intentions are." Kinkade said suggestively, wiggling his eyebrows, "I mean, I haven't been exactly subtle." He said smirking.
This angers me even more, I lift Kinkade up choking him "Does Henrik know what kind of person you are?!" I exclaim, he tries to answer but he can't. Kinkade tries to pull my hand from his throat then starts to siphon me which weaken my grip a little. Kinkade chuckles "Noah knows… what kind of person I am. I mean, considering who he's related too. I'm pretty sure he can spot a psycho when he sees one." He said looking at me. Now I'm furious, I bring out my fangs out ready to bite his neck off but Kinkade gives me an aneurysm which makes me loss my grip on him. I growl advancing towards him, he gives me another aneurysm. This one's powerful, it brings me to my knees "Your magic is really potent. Look, I like Noah, I really do. I may even… love him, huh, didn't even think I was capable of such a feeling." Kinkade said. He pauses for a moment "Anyway, usually I would kill the person in my way, that being you but Noah really care about you and that would mess up the progress I've made so far with. So, how about we stay out of each others way and everything will be fine. Besides, I don't know how to kill a Tribrid, wouldn't even know where to start." Kinkade said, then sighs and with a wave of his hand, everything went black.
I wake up with a groan and a pain in my neck, that Rogue snapped my neck "You're finally awake." A voice said. I look towards the voice, it's Marcel, I'm at his place "How did I get here?" I ask. Marcel smiles "One of my guys found you laid out in an alleyway and brought you here. What happened?" He asks. I rub my neck still feeling the effects of the neck snap "I let my guard down." I tell him vaguely. Marcel stares at me for a moment then smirks "All right, I'll accept that." He said. I sigh "Well, since I'm here. How about I make those Daylight Rings that I promised. You still need them, right?" I ask. Marcel nods "Uh, you sure you up for it. You just woke up from getting your neck snapped." He said concerned "Yeah, I'm sure, I just need some blood and I'll be good." I said. A few hours later I made about a dozen rings for Marcel "There, now whatever ring your vampires choose, it will be there's and no else's." I tell him, Marcel looks impressed "You can do that?" He asks, I nod "I'm very good with magic, Marcel." I say proudly. I get up and stretch "Well, I'll see you around, Marcel." I say, "Yeah, see ya." He said back then I go home.
The next day, Father recued Uncle Elijah from Esther but it seems he's under some kind of sleeping spell. And now I'm with Father walking through the Bayou in search of the Merlock Orchid to wake Elijah "Father you've been distant with me, lately." I state as we walk "Been a bit busy with the werewolves taking over the city again and Mother with her schemes." Klaus said, "I could help you with Esther." I say. Father stops and turns to face me "I don't want you anywhere near Esther, do you understand me? Finn, either." Father said sternly. I glare at him "I can take care of myself, I have been for a long time." I tell him, Father was about to tell me off but stops and looks around "Someone's following us." He said then vamp-speeds away.
I follow after him, Klaus has a man pinned against a tree "Who's this?" I ask "No one." Father replies but the more I look at this man, the more I see similarities between Father and him "Father, who is this, man?" I ask again. Klaus exhale "This is… my Biological Father, Ansel. Back from the dead, by Esther." He explains. So, this is my actual Grandpa "How?" I ask, "Esther, trying to convince to be remade mortal by using him. Come on, we have to go." Klaus said ignoring Ansel and start to walk away "You seek the Merlock Orchid." Ansel said, "How did you know that?" Klaus asks "I saw you carry Elijah home last night. Who do you think used to find the orchid for your Mother to put Mikael to sleep? Without my help you could search forever." Ansel said.
They stare at each other for a minute "Father, stop being stubborn and let Grandpa help us with the orchid. Besides, time is of the essence, if we want cure Elijah of this sleep spell." I say. Ansel smiles a little and Klaus scowls glaring at both of us "Well, lead the way." I say to Ansel and follow after him, Klaus follows us reluctantly. Ansel leads us to the orchids but there surrounded by vervain, unfortunately "Vervain. It's everywhere. My Mother has set a trap." Klaus exclaims frustrated. Ansel at the tree then back at us and smiles "I'll retrieve the Merlock for you." He said, "At what cost?" Klaus asks suspiciously, Ansel glares at Klaus and advances towards him "Why don't you use your vampire abilities to end your doubts? Search my mind. You'll see I'm not aligned with your Mother." He said, "I have absolutely no interest in the inner-workings of your brain." Klaus said "I'm surprised at your cowardice." Ansel teases, "Oh?" Klaus said sarcastically "While you stand here in fear of me, your Brother suffers further." Ansel tells him. Klaus looks hurt by his words but only for a moment "Gather the orchids." He said blankly then walks away.
We're all sitting around a campfire, Ansel's cutting up the orchids and the silence between Father and Grandpa was getting on my nerves. So, I get up and take a walk through the woods looking up at the night sky, the moon is almost full. I haven't been a wolf since the witches tried to sacrifice my Baby Sister. I have nothing against my wolf heritage… it's just that I never really had any use for it when I have magic and vampirism. I never really learned what it means to be a wolf, maybe Ansel can teach me. I walk back to the campfire to find Klaus with Ansel's knife in his hand and Ansel with a deep slash across his chest, dead on the ground. I stare at the ground "Why?" I ask numbly, "He know about Hope. I couldn't risk that, I couldn't risk no one else knowing about Hope." Klaus explains. My magic flares up in anger making the flame from the campfire to burst upwards, I let out a calming breath then start to walk away before I do something I'll regret, "Theo!" I hear my Father shout but I ignore him and continue walking away.
I get home, sit on the couch and stare blankly at the ceiling when a face appears in front of me, it's Noah "Theo, when did you get home?" He asks, I didn't even hear come into the living room "Uh, I don't know." I answer. Noah senses my mood and sits next to me on the couch "What's wrong?" He asks, I sigh "I met my Grandpa, today." I tell him "Mikael?" He asks confused. I shake my head "No, Klaus' real Father. His werewolf Father, Ansel. Esther brought him back from the dead and Klaus' paranoia… well, long story short… Klaus killed Ansel." I explain.
Noah doesn't look surprised but is a little angry "I… I don't know what to say." He said, "There's nothing to say. I know, why he did what he did but it still angers me, when he lets his paranoia get the best of him. I should be used to it by now but I guess not." I say. Suddenly, I'm smacked in the back of my head "No one should be used to Klaus' Paranoia, you should be angry at his actions. Call him out on his bull." Noah tells me sternly. I sigh then chuckle "Thanks, Uncle. I'll think about." I say, Noah smiles then my phone rings, it's Father "Well, I got to take this. Also, be careful around that Rogue." I tell him. Noah frowns a little "You don't like him, do you?" He asks "No, I don't but if he makes you happy then I can tolerate him." I answer, this makes Noah smiles broadly "Thanks." He said.
I answers my phone, Father wants me to come to the mansion, so I do. When I get there, I see my Father and Uncle Elijah but also Uncle's Finn and Kol chained up by enchanted manacles "A family reunion. Father, you shouldn't have." I say smirking. Father smirks "A family reunion, indeed." He said, this should be fun.
