Chapter 10: Dangerous Adversary
Klaus started to get down the entire luggage that they need for the voyage, still he's clueless about what will happen to them when they reach their destination. All he knows is that after this trip, they will come back to New Orleans with much more capabilities and immeasurable power but with much more foes which is capable to fight them as well and as strong as they can be. Though with curiosity, it's still gives Klaus the excitement he's craving for over a century, to fight someone who as strong as he is.
Caroline headed to where her sister is, she bring some donuts and Coffee for her, it's the least that she can do for her sister that has been working from the time she step into the manor up to now just to keep all of them safe. Andromeda is trying to make the armor spell much stronger and indestructible When Caroline handed her the plate loads with donuts and a Coffee.
"You should eat Andy; you've been working so hard to keep this gigantic Manor safer than ever" Caroline smile at her sister.
"Well, this is the least that I can do for you; you're the one who keep me safe back then. I owe almost everything that I can do now with my mage to you Caroline. It's my time now to be your sister."
Caroline hugs Andromeda tight; having a sister brings a new atmosphere in her life. For the only sister she have known was Elena and Bonnie who loves her too but now it made her feel different in a good way that it is good to have a sibling that you shared the same blood as well as the one you can rely on. "Go on have some of these Delicious pastries that can cause Diabetes if you eat with Excessive amount of intake. So don't fall in love with it especially to this guy" while pointing at the triple layer chocolate donut.
"What's diabetes? Is it a spell?" Andromeda asks with determination to learn it.
"It's a spell that will raise your blood sugar levels, but first it will make you gain weight like crazy for eating too much sugary food, until your body can't control it and you will be gravely sick, that is one of the leading causes of death in this world" Rebeckah replied while looking at Caroline with a hint of smirk in her lips.
"I want to learn how to cast that spell, Teach me Rebeckah" Andromeda urge her.
"Andy, don't listen to Rebeckah she just came out from an insane asylum just a couple of month ago." Caroline interrupts while raising an eyebrow at Rebeckah.
"What is the insane asylum?" Andromeda asks again.
"that's where Elijah and Klaus put their siblings when they are naughty and making hilarious statements "eyeing on Rebeckah " with special treatments like daggers into their hearts to make them sleep for a century or even forever. Caroline smile at her sister as she caresses her hair trying to shrug off what Rebeckah said.
"Ugh! Shut up baby vampire" Rebeckah rolled her eyes.
"Kol said they were put into coffins" Andromeda raises another question.
Rebeckah's laughs at Caroline, when her sister busted her.
"Well look we what we have in here, the baby sister of the baby blonde vampire" Damon said as he approach Caroline and Andromeda.
"What are you doing here?" Caroline asks.
"Helping you to unlock your bloodline" He raised his voice.
"How did you know? Only Andy and the Mikaelson's know about it?"
"Let's just say that the mystic falls has been set on fire because they couldn't find you. That leads me to a two choice, helps you to become an apocalyptic fire queen or let them set every cities on fire while we let you just dig answers on your own" Damon said.
"Where's my mom?!" Damon didn't answer her "Damon! Where is my mom?" Caroline shouted as Elijah and Klaus approach them.
"That's the second reason why I'm here too. She died yesterday when the 2 man incinerated the police station Caroline. I'm sorry we couldn't save her, the fire… its very hot… in a different manner…" Damon looks down, as he pictured to his mind what just happen yesterday. Caroline's eyes suddenly filled with tears, as she falls into her knees once again.
Klaus rapidly walk towards her. He then comforts her in his arms, "shhh Love, I'm right here sweetheart everything's going to be ok" he said while trying to at least calm her down. The lady who was once happy earlier is now again in the middle of sorrow.
"Do they look like the guy in the dungeon"? Andromeda asked.
"Klaus already show me the boy into the slaughter room and his not one of them" Damon replied.
"Her death, I bet it happens so sudden, but still I'm not sure to that part, we can still bring her back" Andromeda said.
"Andy, how could you possibly say things like that?" Caroline asks as she wipes the tears into her eyes.
Andromeda let a deep sigh out of her chest, "Klaus is the reincarnation of Hike. You told me back then that aside from his bloodline mage his quite excellent in the field of necromancy, that's the reason I am certain that we can resurrect Kol, but with your mother, if she's expecting that she's about to die minutes before she passed away, that gives us only 3 days to unlock both you and Klaus's bloodline and retrieve her soul in the underworld before Kharon reach their destination" Andromeda return her worried gaze to her sister.
"What fuck up are you talking about lady? Is this the effect of donuts to you? You can't just get in and out of the other side like it's a family theme park. You must die first before you get inside of it!" Damon snarled as to what Andromeda said.
"Don't make me send you their" Andromeda threaten Damon while glaring into his eyes. Elijah cut in as he takes Andromeda's hand and they headed towards where Caroline and Klaus were standing.
Rebeckah smirk at what she's witnessing "don't mess with that baby girl in front of you Damon, she's the reason why we only have 1 captive left, she burn the other one alive last night" letting a wild grin out of her lips "and also she's the reason why those Arcanists failed to find Nick and Caroline, so watch your words cruel fella." she smiled while retreating.
"Come on Andy we have to go, we shouldn't waste every seconds we have" as Caroline broke Klaus's hug and starts to take their luggage.
"Rule no. 1 of being an Arcanists sister, Travel light. We don't need that silly paper (Plane ticket) that your beau is holding. Let me introduce you the difference between a witch and an Arcanists. We travel through teleportation. All of them were dumbfounded of what she said. They didn't know if she's stating the truth or just a neurotic freak on crack. Elijah just laughs of what they heard from her.
"But before anything else" Andromeda walk towards where Elijah was standing and gently held his hand. "I entrust this to you" while handing him a ring that has an imperial topaz stone.
Elijah smile and look into her eyes, "for emergency purposes, just think about me and say my name. It will summon me right away." She smile and gently let go of his hand."Hey! Andy you might come in handy for the next family vacation" Rebeckah said with a teasing voice.
Damon smirk at what Rebeckah said but he slowly pull back hi grin as they witness what happen next…
Andy position Klaus and Caroline in her left and right side, as they were circled with red fire with its signature silver lining with it.
"Am I so intoxicated or my mind is playing games with me?" Damon asks Rebeckah.
As the fire grows up it started to cover the three of them, with a loud sound of explosion the three of them disappear inside the manor.
In a blink of an eye, they are now in the mainland Greece.
They walk to the dark lonely road which is empty, no people and just a small number of vehicle crossings in the bridge. The calming quietness eats them as they walk towards the beginning of the bridge. It was so peaceful and calm; the wind blows as if it wishes them to have a good night. Caroline suddenly pauses for a while and starts to appreciate the breathtaking view that surrounds them.
(Let Love bleed Red - Sleeping with Sirens Acoustic Version)
"Isn't it beautiful Love?" Klaus said while standing beside her and admiring the view too.
Caroline just smile and take a deep breath.
"This is just one of the million things that the world has to offer" he added while looking up in the view and staring back at her baby blue eyes.
"I guess this is what you mean when you said Genuine Beauty" Caroline replied while looking to his deep blue eyes. She tried to contain the sadness she feels inside of her by smiling at him.
"When I said genuine beauty love I meant… You" he gently held her right hand. "Caroline, You're Beauty is as Genuine as this wonderful scenery, but when I look into your eyes." he gently held her cheeks with his right hand and gently caresses it with his long soft fingers "I know that your smile is the most Genuine Beauty that I've ever seen. Nothing compares to it, not even this mind-blowing view."
Caroline cried in front of him again, "I can't smile Klaus, I'm afraid to lose my mom, we already lose our son, I can't afford to lose another one" she held his arms tight while he wipes away the tears in her soft rosy white cheeks.
"Love, we didn't want all of this to happen, I told you, we will make things right, we, both of us. We will do this together, I can't do this alone Love, I need you, I need you here with me." He gently kisses her lips and breaks it, while the tip of his nose is gently rubbing hers. "We will make things right starting tonight, when we unlock our bloodlines, can you promise to be strong for us?" he said with sincerity into his eyes.
Caroline smile while tears flow down her cheeks, "I will for us" with unfeigned feelings towards him that can be seen in her eyes "I promise".
Klaus hugs her tight while kissing her forehead, he knows that her Queen is not perfect, she made mistakes and sometimes she stumble down and yet he still loves her more and more.
"We need to get inside to that manor and at least offered them one of the Mikaelsons or they will turn this city into a pile of ashes" Davina argued with Vincent and Marcel as Cami serves the two man with tequila.
"You're the most powerful and the most gifted witch in this City Davina, can't you just do something with that stupid armor spell? Marcel said while getting irritated to her whining.
Vincent look into Marcel's eyes "the witch they hire to set an armor spell is very powerful and her spell is not some kind of a spell that I've seen before, I can feel it, it seems like her power comes from darkness and yet the spells were pure and absolute. Which messes up in my head, because it's impossible Marcel?" Vincent Replied, he seems to notice that Marcel doesn't understand how hard it is to break the armor spells that even Davina or he can't break.
"When your magic comes from darkness it will eat every single of you, including the spell you cast. But this one it's pure but burn to touch!" While she seat besides Marcel and gently lean her right hands into her forehead.
"One of the Witches from the Coven who examined it accidentally burns her hand and suddenly her body ignites after touching it. By just 1 min. she turns into a pile of ashes, now tell me Marcel what we should do!?" Davina started whining again that made Marcel upset and throw the shot glass in front of the counter.
"I don't know Davina! I'm not the one who is in charge with those stupid magic's you were into. But I know one thing, they created that armor spell to protect someone or something like Hayley and Klaus's child from his enemy's or one of the Mikaelsons is not around that's why they upgraded the security of the manor. And no! I will not turn my back on them! They're my family Davina! They're all I have!" Marcel then replied while lowering the town of his voice.
"We are your new family now Marcel! This whole town, it will turn to pile of ashes soon if you keep on saving the Mikaelsons" Davina shouted while looking at Marcel.
"What about you? You love Kol Mikaelson right? And you've been jumping in and out of danger just to find a way to resurrect him!?" Marcel looks away but then returns his gaze to Davina "even if they're the Devils who walks in earth for a very long time, they're the ones who save me Davina when no one else does, I owe everything to the Mikaelson family to Klaus. I love my family and my friends Davina, just as how much you love Kol, that's why we do everything to keep them away from Danger right?" Marcel replied to Davina. She nodded and looks away, knowing that she was defeated by him in these arguments.
"Guys I've been listening to all of you, what's with this city that it will soon turn into ashes? Huh? Davina?" Cami raises her eyebrow as she investigated what is was happening.
"There are these two people, who came here yesterday. They're looking for girl name Helena; they told us that if we fail to find her this whole city will be burn into ashes." Davina said while looking at Cami.
"Then we fight back, who are they to scare us? This is our city! We should protect it right?" Cami argued with Davina.
"That's the thing Cami, who are they?" Vincent sighed before sipping the shot of tequila. "The only thing I know is that what happen in Mystic Falls yesterday is connected to this people, expect the worst" while playing the shot glass in his hand.
"What happen in that place?" Davina asks Vincent while walking towards him.
"They burn the whole town to the ground, nothing left. Some witches said that this two people just came from nowhere and looking for someone" Vincent replied.
"Helena… they're looking for her isn't it?" Davina asks.
"Well it is now confirmed because we got the same scenario, but what bothers me is that the way I feel about the witch who cast an armor spell in the Mikaelson's manor and the people who burn that town into the ground. Are they the same person or something else? Plus the coven of witches in the mystic falls couldn't stand the chance to fight to them; they said that the fire is not normal it can't even turn down by water. It's just that when the whole town was burn down that's where it started to subside fast"
"I think this has something to do with a certain blonde vampire that Klaus bring here in our city." Marcel interrupts while looking at the shot glass in his hand.
"What?" Davina ask while Vincent is looking at him with confusion painted in his face.
"That Caroline girl, comes from Mystic Falls, she's engage to Klaus. That's what all the people keep on talking about after coming from the Mikaelson's ball last night." Marcel, Davina and Vincent suddenly look at Cami as their faces suddenly cover with worries.
Cami gently raises her chin up and looks at them with sadness in her face, "well he looks happier, doesn't he? " While trying to smile. "I saw their picture this morning in the tabloids; they do really look good together, the king of New Orleans already found his Queen" but her jealousy speech was cut when she realize something. "Wait, I think that explains why some vampire were after Klaus and Caroline the other night here in the pub, there is this 10 vampire approach them and tried to attack them without hesitation" while looking to the three people in front of her.
"That's it, were just going to give the vampire Barbie to them and problem solve. After all the Queen should sacrifice for the sake of peace in her land" Davina said while looking at the front door, planning for an unpleasant surprise.
Marcel examined the look in Davina's eyes, he knows that it will start a war and he didn't like it.
Elijah was looking to the ring that Andromeda gave her. He realizes that even if she's assuring them that the armor spell is unbreakable, they still have to be on their guard if an unexpected event strikes.
"What a lovely ring that your pyro kinetic home-girl gave to you" Damon said, while walking towards where he was sitting.
"Be in your guard. There might be odds coming. I don't know when, all I can assure you is that this, time it will not do us a favor." Elijah said while turning his head looking at Damon.
Damon was bothered of what he heard. Knowing that this night without their master magician's presence, it will be rough and might ended up to a blood shed.
"So tell me Damon, what really happened in Mystic Falls?" Elijah added after wearing the ring.
"Earlier that day, there were 2 mysterious people came into the town. The other one, he projects lightning bolts and the other one which I suppose is a much more powerful, she projects fire like the Andy girl you have here but her fire has a black lining in it. They're looking for Helena which I found out after coming here and having a chit chat with your sister that it was Caroline" Damon sigh as he lean her head in his two hands. "After what Rebeckah said that you can resurrect Kol if they unlock the bloodline all together, I decided to stay and help. I was hoping that Caroline could bring our friends back from grave."
"Friends? You mean all of them?" Elijah replied with a hint of shock in his face.
"Bonnie, Stefan, Elena and even Jeremy tried to fight them, all of us." Damon took a deep breath "but when I turn around they're already burning, the craziest part is I don't know how it happen alright?! I mean the girl just spread a wide grin in front of them and then they were lit on fire. Stefan was right beside me that time; he said we should come here ask for help. We tried to flee but this guy chase us, he's so fast that he immediately caught us off guard; Stefan was struck by lightning bolt into his heart that comes out from that psycho's hands."
"They just spared my life, in order to be… someone who will spread the word, of what they did and what will they do if they didn't find what or who they're looking for." Damon mumbled as grief and sorrow eats him alive.
"This sounds like an upcoming disaster for us, having you seating here and telling what happen to your friends is clearly one of the bad omen, beware of what's coming next, Damon" Elijah said before swallowing a lump from his throat.
"Damon!" Rebeckah shouted before Damon could reach the doorway.
"What now? Blonde bombshell!?" Damon replied while yelling back Rebeckah with an irritated tone of voice.
"What happen to Matt?" Damon didn't answer to Rebeckah as he turns his back, but Rebeckah immediately get into his way. "I said, where's Matt? Damon!" this time Rebeckah finally put her hands between his shoulders so that he won't go away.
"He died Rebeckah; he's with Liz when the Police station was incinerated with fire.
Rebeckah lash out her anger by throwing all the things she could see, Damon watch her as his way of sympathy, for he and Rebeckah was experiencing the same situation. While Elijah listens to her sister's suffering in the other side of the room, even if he wants to calm her down, he knows that his presence will just make things worse, as of now it's good to have Damon's company for her since they both encountering the same agony.
"Beckah" Damon said while trying to stop her.
"I'm going to find and kill them! Are you coming with me Damon?" Rebeckah mumbled angrily. When she realize that he will not come with her she immediately run towards the door but Damon catch and forcefully stop her from going to the edge of death.
"Are you out of your mind!? You're just going there and what Rebeckah huh? You'll add to the line of people that we have to resurrect?" Damon argued with her as he holds her hand tightly.
"I'd rather walk towards my own death than to sit here waiting to die Damon! I want to avenge Matt" Rebeckah shouted as tears came flowing from her Blue eyes.
Damon gently held her arms and look at her eyes, "So do I, Rebeckah I want to avenge my brother and so was Elena but for now even If we outnumbered them we aren't still capable of killing them, until Klaus and Caroline came here with unlock bloodlines that's when we got what's ours. But for now we should wait here and protect your pregnant hybrid sister in law ok?, your niece needs you here the most Rebeckah that's what important for now" Damon Calm her down as he gently sit her to the sofa. Rebeckah nodded at him while wiping the tears in her face.
"You make sure that we will have them as a play toy in our dungeon Damon!" while pointing a finger into his chest. Rebeckah get up as she walks towards the door.
"Goodnight Barbie Klaus" Damon said.
"Same to you Cave man" Rebeckah replied as she departed to the room.
