Steps in the dark as a gift part II
Sweat was dripping from his forehead; his hands were moist and sticky, the heavy humidity in the air made it hard to breathe. Louisiana's heat was not accommodating him and he felt the need to curse, it hated being Nox' valet. Kal removed his sunglasses and looked at the ex-plantation. The ancient master house was standing proud and not yet conquered but it was matter of seconds. It was representing a great challenge but fortunately, the main players' attentions were focused elsewhere. It placed the expensive Ray ban in his pocket; he could only hope they would be intact after the future battle.
"None of you should harm the child and if the Bennett is in the house, leave her to me." He barked the orders and all of his companions nodded. They tried to walk near the house but the barrier pushed them aside. He frowned; already he had to put himself to work. He walked around the house running his finger on the invisible shield and tasted the running magic. Someone expected them; it seemed the night would be long.
The warlock called for two men, they would find the breach on the barrier. He trusted his coven members. He took a deep breath still fighting the heat. His phone rang, quick words came from the other side, and he let out a rejoicing sigh. A sleek smile made its way on his tense features, things encased themselves perfectly. In the other side of town, his fellow witches trapped the hybrid and the Bennett bitch.
"Don't hurt the hybrid, Nox wants him untouched. You all know how this works. Destroy a precious piece of his collection and you will pay the consequences." The two scooters he sent came back and he hung up. He turned his attention back to them and listened to what they had to say.
"Layer of magic wrapped on themselves. It can be siphon but that would take the entire day." One of the man explained as he barely looked at Kal because he knew that was not the expected answer.
"We don't have the entire day. He wants result and quickly. Did you not hear him; we need it done by tonight. It is been four years and he can't wait anymore for the child." Kal dismissed the option. He was playing with fire and his life was in the line if there were no results. This time, Nox would not be forgiving. The man was not forgiving, he only showed mercy in time of weakness, and still now, he forbade anyone to talk about it or the reason why he showed mercy.
"This would take more men but some can weaken it while the others siphoned what of magic is left." Kal nodded that idea the second man proposed. Siphoning magic was one of the most useful ability Nox offered him. That was why people followed the man, Nox not only could assimilate power from other creatures, but he also could share them with whom he wanted.
The other witches and warlocks started chanting and Kal placed his hand on the shield. He concentrated his entire mind and felt the little electric particles tingled all around him. He was a magnet, his skin grew warm, and he felt the magic run through him until pure energy filled him. The credulis coven had brought an army to confront the Mikaelson and it made it easy to break through the shield.
Sabine was on her feet, she felt her barrier weakening. Someone was eroding and tempering with her magic. She grabbed her grimoire and walked up to Rebekah with all her senses in alert. She needed to prevent anything to happen. Danger was imminent and if she could feel their actions on the barrier, they were powerful adversaries. She sighed this was an odd reminiscence to that fatidical night, the night when Hope passed away.
She rushed through the stair, her heart was erratic and her magic was weary, she found Rebekah in the leaving room already standing in guard. She stood by her side and only gave a knowledgeable look. The two women were worried.
"Felt it too?" The blonde vampire asked to her sister in law. Sabine nodded as she dropped her grimoire on the glass table and started reading through pages. Rebekah started to put together a force with the baby vampire in the house. She was already barking order to her little army and the war's consigns were to be ruthless. They all had been there before with Hope but now she needed their violence.
"Do you have an idea of how many of them are outside?" Sabine inquired. She opened her grimoire and started looking for a spell to strengthen her barrier. She quickly found it and was already chanting. She had no care for Rebekah' answer because it did not matter. The only thing that mattered was to protect Teo.
"I'm calling Elijah and the others. They need to come back here. We won't last. I can hear there steps and there is a lot of them." Rebekah shouted as she heard a brouhaha from one side of the plantation. Sabine said nothing; the witch was in magical trance. Her hair was flying with the wind, her eyes had turned white, and her skin was cover with perspiration. It was taking all of her, her voice was raw, and the words she shouted burned her throat. It was so intense that she cried blood and started coughing.
The opposite side was out numbering her; she could only keep up for a couple of minutes. It was she against hundreds of them. She started bleeding profusely from her nose, she slowed down in her chanting, and she was losing her driving strength. She was exhausted; it was getting hard to breath and her magic was collapsing on itself. She turned to look at Rebekah. Her vision trembled and it blurred before she could said what she wanted. She was down.
From that moment, Rebekah knew that she needed to follow the emergency plan. She stopped her call and zoomed toward Teo's room. The toddler was napping and it broke her heart that he had to go through so much trouble. She tried to wake him up without alerting him, she did not want him to live such violence. She lifted him and secured him in her arms. She needed to hide him and do it well. She would come back and fight.
They had secure a place in the plantation; she just needed to make it until there. The cavalry would not be long. She just needed to keep it moving until they came to the rescue. She started getting out by a back door when a boom echoed around the way she was planning to use. They were in. The youngest Mikealson secured Teo on her hip. She sighed and felt angry; she was not willing to commit murder in front of a child.
"Close your eyes until we make it there. Okay Teo?" He nodded and already closed his eyes. The boy was an expert in escape. For four years, he had to run away every six or seven month, until they moved to Chicago. It had been his life until Bonnie decided to put a stop to it.
Rebekah sped down toward the staircase. She just needed to make it until the protected house and from there Bonnie and Kai magic would do the rest. She carefully took her surroundings in, the walls of the house were breached, and they were in.
A man appeared from the corner with his hand protruding, he was quickly trying to snatch Teo and it was a mistake because it made Rebekah hissed. With a swift motion, her hand was plunging in and out of his chest with his heart on tight grip. She discarded the organ and started to look at the perimeter, in her arm Teo was still keeping his eyes shut.
Travelling in the arms of a speeding vampire was uncomfortable. Forgotten were all the teenage fantasies about flexing biceps or warmth of his embrace. She had to close her eyes to avoid motion sickness. Only his scent had a sort of calming effect but it barely maintained her nerves in place. Her hands were clasping on his Henley and her heart could not synchronize with his dead one.
Bonnie was worried sick, she had no strength to go through Teo's loss. She could not lose her baby boy. They had avoided this catastrophe for so long. Klaus was very quiet; he seemed lost in his own thought. It had already been through this and now he had flash back of that awful night. He wanted to think that fate would not be as cruel a second time, but the little lifeless body of Hope was hunting every of his thoughts. The situation was different; he wanted to believe that it was different.
However, anguish had his way with his brain. He remembered running through the corridor of his house as fast as he could but only to find Hayley crying on a dead corpse. What would happen if he found Teo cradled in Rebekah's arm? He almost lost his footing at that thought then Bonnie crossed his mind. He could not picture the hurt on her face. His heart sunk, losing Teo would end them both.
Her dead body started to hunt his memory again, what would happen if one more time he arrived too late. What would they do to his son? He tightened his grip around Bonnie; she was almost suffocating under his overbearing embrace. Was it the wind compressing her lungs, or was it the fear in her that cut her breathing pattern? Through everything, he did not know what comforting words she needed to hear, and he was not confident. Klaus was scared; he had never known fear until he knew the value of what he risked to lose.
Was it all different from that night? The plantation had fallen once. They had gain access to his own and stripped him of his daughter. The other time, that night at least he was on the plantation when it happened but right now he was miles away. The Bennett witch dug on his chest with her nails. The erratic beating of her heart started to deafen him. It pulled him out of his mind and he started to comfort her.
"We will be right on time to save him." He said feigning confidence for her. She unclasped one of her hand and ran it on his cheek. It was a very slow movement, she dragged her hand from his chest to his cheek's rough skin covered with a light beard, and she offered a comforting caress. Saying more than her word could, she believed him. She trusted him; she came to him because she knew that he would protect his son. She wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her head.
That was enough to chase away his own fear; her faith was enough to support him through the ongoing tempest. This was a different time and he was a different man. What happened to Hope would not repeat itself, for his daughter and for Bonnie; he would save his little boy. When he lost his daughter, Hayley and he were not a team, and they did not think in symbiosis nor did care for one another. They could have done better that night, if they had been a team. If his entire family had put self-interest behind their need to save Hope. They could have avoided the tragic outcome.
Right now against all odds, the same Bonnie Bennett who had attempted to kill him so much time that he had lost count was by his side, she was a force, and she always succeeded. She was his partner, someone he blindly trusted. He could say it now, he blindly trusted this woman, and with her by his side, they were invincible. He came to the realization that he was in love with her at a very bad time.
Whatever the number of adversaries, they just needed to work together. Even when they hated each other, they had that ability to work as the best team. He sped toward the plantation, which was now appearing over the horizon. He hoped that the battle was not lost for them.
"Don't you dare losing against such abomination." Kal was on edge, it was not as easy as he expected. This plantation was a fortress, they had the number, but the vampires were feral. They had made it in but few witches and warlocks of his coven had lost their life. The vampire's attacks were coordinated and violent. He had underestimated these creatures, he saw his men falling like flies.
He had to find that child and fast. He did his best to avoid direct confrontation with any of those monsters. He quickly lit some in fire, broke bones with the power of his tongue, and cut heart out of chest. It was the fourth quarter of the house he inspected, and yet no sign of the Bennett child. Was it a miscalculated move? Was the kid even there? Kal was frustrated; he could not make it back without that child. Nox would want his head. He was not foolishly dying for a Bennett like his sister.
If He came back empty handed, it would be the last one to drag his family into the mud. He shouted his anger and with a blast of power, the wind surge at his call, and he took out few of the vampire surrounding the corridor in which he had step. He knew that he was not far; he just needed to find the right room.
He entered an opulent room and found a witch lying on the ground; she was not part of his coven. She was unconscious but alive. He could end her or get information. He could go through her mind. He bent and placed his cold long finger around her head. This way helped to locate the child or whoever could help him to do so.
With focus, he recited "et libri aperti animi fiat fiet." He was met with resistance and Sabine tried to push him out of her thoughts. She was maybe unconscious but her magic guarded her mind. He took all of him, his pupils disappeared, and opaque orbs replaced them. He chanted louder, letting the magic slip through his finger and ran through Sabine's body. He invaded her brain, wrapping his magic around each neuron until he could take out all her secrets, he extracted the most important information but could not finish because in a desperate effort Sabine pushed him out.
It was there just a glimpse of memory, a blonde woman with the abominable child. He needed to find the blonde vampire, she had the child with her and she was alone it seemed. He lost his equilibrium when he stood; his body was washed out by the abusive use of magic. This little magical trick had costed him much than expected, this witch was unconscious, but she was stronger than he thought.
Kal had not noticed but whilst in Sabine's brain, the witch had used the connection to latch on his magic and started to feed on it. She pumped him and she channeled some of his magic to heal herself. It was all she needed to break out of the slumber that had led to her loss of consciousness.
"Find the blonde." He angrily shouted. This little game was pissing him off. Kal took a deep breath; he needed to calm down. Suddenly he grew weak and he started cursing for his lack of care. His magic was sleeping away from him and the sleeping witch was a parasite.
"You, get me out of here." He pointed toward a young warlock. The young man with dark hair ran eager to help. Kal quickly understood Sabine trick, she was stealing his magic from the link he created by going through her brain. He needed to stay far away from her and it would dampen the connection.
Rebekah knew they were after her. She needed to rush. The young vampires had considerably cleared the way. In every corridor where she passed, lifeless body of witches paved the floor. She needed to keep going for as long as her brother and Bonnie were missing. She tightened her hold on her nephew and ran faster until she made it to the magic bunker.
"Teo, I need you to stay here. Don't move and remember what your mommy told you to do when we put you in this room." Rebekah said as she carefully installed Teo at the center of the charmed room.
The little boy was still closing his eyes. A look at that cute being reminded Rebekah why she needed to fight ferociously until his parent could arrive to help. There was an army out and all were ready to lose their life just to get to her nephew. She would take everyone out if she needed to do so.
"You can open your eyes now baby." She said and Teo was quickly opening his eyes with a long flutter of lashes. He looked around the magical bunker and he understood that maybe the situation was more horrific than when his mom and he flight Chicago. This was another house which was about to be taken away from him. However, Teo was scared for his family and his iron grip on Rebekah's sleeve was the physical manifestations of it.
"Bekah ...no stay with me" he begged with his glistening eyes. He furiously tried to wipe his tears away with his free hand." Bekah don't go" he insisted.
That broke the heart of the blonde woman and she felt the need to stay. However, she could not do that after the promise she made to Klaus the day hope died. If her brother ever found something as precious as his daughter was, she would fight to protect it and Teo was just that. She had promised Bonnie that she would defend her son to the best of her ability and she could not do it from this room.
"Baby I want to stay but I have to protect and defend you. You will do as your mommy taught you. Show me what your mommy taught you." Rebekah tried to convince the little being but the toddler stubbornly shook his head. He did not want his aunt out there.
"mom said this place can protect me, it will protect me, and you... stay Bekah." he was swallowing his words through every sob, his little chubby hands had now a strong grip on Rebekah's hand. She lifted him from the ground trying to calm him. He was always such a brave kid, now seeing him so scared and not once for himself, it was infuriating. The situation made Rebekah angry; she could not believe that since his birth, he had to survive this chaos. No one came after her family and lived to tell the tail.
"Baby I really have to do this and Sabine is out there, I also have to help her. We can't leave Aunt Sabine out there alone." She made him face her and tried to make him understand.
"I want to help sab, I want to protect you. Daddy said I was like him so I can protect you." Teo proudly said as he recovered some courage after Rebekah mentioned Sabine. He drew his fang just like Klaus and Elijah thought him. Rebekah smiled, even in moment with such chaos, this toddler could just make her happy.
"I know my little monster but if I let you do that your mommy or your dad, better both will have my head. So if you want to help me, do what your mommy told you." She said after putting him back on the ground and she kissed the crown of his dirty blond curls.
Teo closed his eyes trying to focus on what Bonnie taught him. He mumbled trying to get the Latin words right, his tongue slipped on the difficult words. The little frown of concentration and his serious expression made Rebekah proud. He opened his eyes and Rebekah tried to punch the magical barrier that Teo had just created, her fist hit the invisible barrier, and a wave of magic that echoed the strength of her punch hit her back. She quickly stood before Teo could start to break in tears again just because his barrier hurt her.
"good job little man, I will be back before you can miss me." She said as she zoomed out of the room ready to fight and win this war.
Running away from conflict with the credulis coven had become a second habit for Bonnie, now she was anxious for the upcoming battle. She could perceive the plantation and she impatiently wanted to rescue her son and the people whom had become her family, Rebekah, Sabine and some of the vampires. She looked at Klaus and he had an unreadable expression. She could feel how tense he became, as he perceived the smoke rising above his house, which had turned into a battlefield.
His silence only concealed his anxiety but his facial expressions let transpire his turmoil. At time like this, he could only remember that he lost his daughter to similar circumstances.
He vividly remembered the carnage in his house, the pile of dead bodies that included his little baby whom he had no time to know. It had been painful and he had lost himself entirely after everything. He had been buried with his daughter and only now, he had the impression that he was coming back to life. Teo was his entire life; he had healed what time had failed to do. He had taken away the fear that he Niklaus would be a crappy parent like his own.
He carefully put Bonnie down when they reached the entrance of the ancient plantation. She looked at him carefully; their silent exchange covered more ground than any words could. Their eyes conveyed the secret message that they both needed the other to be okay at the end. She needed him to come back to her in one piece, victorious. She needed the father of her son safe, she had learned what it was like to be a complete family, and she was not losing that. The little smirk he gave her was the right answer; it carried the confidence that was so characteristic of her hybrid lover. She was reassured that he had his mind out of his dark memories and he was absolutely dedicated to the complete destruction of the monsters that came after their child.
Bonnie was ready to go in a separate direction when he grabbed her hand and pulled her back into him. She had no time to understand the situation or to bath in his proximity; quickly his lips were silencing the surprised sound coming from her. He tenderly kissed her and she let her arm envelopes him when with a swift motion he was lifting her from the ground, she let her legs surround his waist as his arm maintained her glued to him. He passionately kissed her, his tongue setting on fire her entire body. The passion made her dizzy and he carefully put her down.
"What was that for?" She asked still in a daze and for a moment forgetting that she was about to jump in a battle where the numbers were against them.
"So you can know what you will miss if you don't come back to me and I don't want to you to pull a Bonnie Bennett on me. I don't want you to sacrifice yourself; I am not raising a kid alone. And lastly I love you." He kissed her again before she had the time to answer and then zoomed away leaving a flabbergasted Bonnie behind.
Bonnie only had one objective, she needed to reach the magical bunker and anything on her way would be annihilated, she hated to hurt other witches but she had no scruples when they came from who she loved. She stepped in the first room and a pile of vampire and few standing witches filled it.
She just let her magic radiate in waves and quickly the witches fell on the ground. She held the wall to regain some balance, she always carefully used her magic, and with years, it bottled up. She had carefully prepared her magic for a day like this, it was thrilling to be so free to use it, and she had nothing to hide and no fear that it would be used to track them. She had feared the confrontation too long and now she wanted it to end.
She ran through the next room and luckily, she had nothing to do, the baby vampires were tearing apart with ease the crowd of witches. She looked around quickly trying to locate Rebekah or Sabine. She was mainly looking for Sabine because she understood that she must have been down if the barrier was down. However, in the next room she entered, her eyes landed on spread blonde hair, she did not have to get a second look to know that it was Rebekah. Apart from the inanimate body of the Mikealson girl, some other bodies were part of the carnage.
Bonnie rushed and her heart was threatening to implode. Rebekah was away from the bunker. She felt the salty pearls threatening her to fall, she was worried for the original, and she was worried for her son. She sat by Rebekah side and she could see the blonde woman was hit by strong magic. She could surely said Kal had done it, she never could forget the magical print of her ex traitorous friend. She quickly tried to shield Rebekah for any sneaky attack while she was in this state. She covered her with a shielding barrier.
"You stay just here Blondie, I will make sure to get the bastard for you." She said as she quickly resumed her race to save her son. She needed to reach the bunker and she needed to make sure Teo was inside. She knew that Rebekah protected her son until she fell, she trusted the vampire with her life, she knew Rebekah would ferociously protect her son; she loved that little rascal to death.
"Rebekah is down and from the way he is using his magic. They found Teo." Sabine said as she surprised Niklaus. She had risen few minutes ago, and the first thing she found was her sister in law in the ground. She had ended the witches still alive and did her best to protect Rebekah, but she had missed their leader.
The growl that escaped from Klaus echoed inside the entire place. The anger it carried, the ferocity it promised stopped everyone for a second. Bonnie who was only meters away from the bunker felt her entire body freeze. She knew there was only one reason for such anger. She became faster, she attempted something she rarely did, and she forgot her promise to Klaus. She was barely in control of her magic now that raw emotion hit her with full force, but she needed it to work. She needed to do the sacrifice.
Sabine took steps away from Niklaus, she knew too well what the semi reddish yellow glow in his eyes meant, and he was quickly losing it. This was Hope's catastrophic night over again. She remembered it like it was yesterday, the fury, the pain, and the immense chaos. However, this time they were all willing to stop it.
"My son" that was all Klaus could say. He was shaking and a look at him made Sabine take several steps back, she would just be collateral damage if she were not careful. He appeared feral and violence begged to be unleashed. His words were almost growls. "This is not happening again, I am not losing my son tonight. Tell me where my son is." He flashed furiously toward Sabine, he barely knew toward who he needed to direct his aggression, and all he knew was the fact that he needed to have his son in his arms. He was not losing his son tonight.
"Teo is not lost to us yet but we have to get to the bunker. Whoever is leading them just made it there, I can feel it. He tried to get inside my head to find Teo but I trapped his essence, now I can feel him. He probably did the same with Bekah and found the bunker. I can feel him using magic, a lot of it." Sabine tried to explain quickly. Niklaus was very volatile and if anything happened to Teo, he would destroy this house to the ground, everyone in it would get a free ticket to hell. Hell that was where his life would head if he lost his son, he had just found a family. He just finally grew into it.
She could feel the amount of magic Kal was using and without any doubt, she could say they were trying to bypass the bunker layers of protection. It was taking a toll on her body because she was taping into the credulis member magic. However, she doubted they would quickly succeed. The barrier was a complex mix between her magic, Bonnie magic, kai's magic and expression, it would take a lot more than a spell or a siphon witch. The inside of the bunker was a trap from everyone who was not Teo.
Kal was spent but he refused to give up. The abomination was behind the door and if they could pass through the barrier then eventually they would be able to please Nox. However, that did not matter for him; he wanted his revenge on the Bennett witch. He wanted her to pay for the dishonor his sister brought upon their family.
The members of the coven whom were still standing after fighting the group of newborn vampires started to chant as a single soul. The barrier was the ultimate proof of the amazing amount of magic the Bennett and her allies could produce. It was so pure that siphoning it would have hurt him because of the energy overload. They were trying but it seemed all their efforts were wasted. This entire attack had turned in something harsher than expected.
It was all planned but now it was crumbling, he had multiple reasons to curse Bonnie's entire existence but right now, he was angry because it seemed she was a better witch and a more powerful than he was. As a credulis, he hated such possibility; their entire organization was after power. He chanted louder and every second, he threw more of his magic against that barrier until it suddenly went down. It was so quick and unexpected.
A broad smile appeared on his face and he was ready to be done with this entire Bennett situation. He carefully pushed the door, from his experience, he expected several traps, and he was not wrong. The first impatient witches whom entered the room quickly fell on their knees and started bleeding from their eyes and noses. That little trick was a courtesy of Kai's sadistic mind. Kal did no effort to help his fallen soldiers, as Nox would say if one was stupid, he should be left to deal with the consequences of his acts. They were stupid to believe a Bennett would leave the room unguarded.
They needed to find a way to gain full entrance to the room, he could see the little boy in the center, and he was so close to his goal. He quickly turned to give order to the remnant members of his coven. They were few steps behind, however it all happened quickly but they all started to fall. Before he could utter words head were being removed from bodies at a speed Kal never thought possible. Kal felt the heavy pounding in his head, it was violent, and a scream that dried the air in his lungs escaped his mouth.
He started to pant as Bonnie's voice echoed from the bunker. She could not believe that she succeeded but she had teleported herself in that room just in time and by the power of the different spell hit. She was running toward her son and she was so thankful for Rebekah's bravery. Quickly her chant rose and she was attacking Kal with voracity and anger, she wanted her revenge for the years when he forced her to run, she wanted her revenge for the friends she lost and she wanted her revenge from the trust he destroyed.
Few of the credulis witches and warlocks were still alive, it was a small corridor, and it would be impossible to escape a sure death. Bonnie chanted from the safety of the room, she incessantly and viciously attacked him but she was also draining herself fighting against the magic in the room. She chanted louder, the wind blew and her magic majestically engulfed the surrounding, he could not escape her. The body count outside only indicated that Niklaus was of attendance to the party too, he had never been so fast in his wolf form but it seemed the urgency of the situation pushed him to the extreme high.
He made his way through the assailants with ease and violence, heads were falling, and he threw the heart that he snatched on the ground. Sabine quickly joined Bonnie into her chanting; there were no fighting chances for Kal. He fell on his knee but already Klaus' hand was wrapping itself around his throat, the man was barely conscious and all that was escaping from him were whimpers. Klaus smacked Kal's body again the wall adjacent to the bunker's door. All he wanted was to kill the warlock but Sabine was quick to stop him from doing more.
"He is not the coven leader but he knows who it is. We need him alive." Sabine said as she tried to pull Klaus' hand away so he would not break the warlock's windpipe. It was a losing battle because of Niklaus' fury, the hybrid did not cease to press on that throat, nor did he took the time to listen to reason. He only stopped when Bonnie's small hand recovered his and she carefully pulled him away by whispering in his ear.
"We are all fine, this is a different night. You are not losing anyone tonight. Not Teo, not Rebekah and obviously not me." Her words seemed to carry magic because he quickly felt appease and he discarded the unconscious body of Kal without second care. He quickly wrapped his woman in an embrace and he felt the air in his lung. He cherished the scent of Bonnie and when he released her, he only looked for his son. He was rushing in the room when Bonnie stopped him as she remembered the different trap and she started to feel sick.
"Teo please let daddy in" she carefully asked the toddler to do so. The charms surrounding the bunker were all linked to the small barrier protection she taught him. He was the key to unlock it but also to activate it. Teo quickly broke his spell and in matters of second, he was suffocating under the overbearing hug of Klaus.
"You need to let him breathe Klaus." Bonnie said teasing but she understood his feeling. They had come so close to lose him. "And last thing I love you too" she said as she was leaving the room finally replying to his earlier declaration, also she did not want him to see her fall. She hugged Sabine and almost fainted from exhaustion. She had let out all her magic. She had no adrenaline to keep her going, she started bleeding from her nose, and she let herself sink to the ground
"I got you…," he said as he caught her and stopped her fall. He could not catch a breath tonight. Now he was worrying sick about Bonnie. Just a minute ago, he was losing his mind because Teo was in danger; she smiled at him in a very reassuring way. She knew that she would be fine because she promised not to pull a Bonnie Bennett on him but now she was just feeling the effect of the bunker's trap after the adrenaline washed out. She had teleported herself inside and used a considerable amount of magic to protect herself but still she had been touched. She did not want to endanger Teo by getting him out.
"I told you to avoid a Bonnie Bennett trick." Klaus said slightly worried as he cradled her in his arm. She was breathing a bit heavily but she was still smiling. Her smile was the only think keeping him together and he was so much into the situation that he all forgot about Kal until a blur pass by his side and he heard the commotion behind him.
"Don't you ever touch him." Rebekah snarled as her forearm pressed the credulis warlock against the wall. When she awakened the blonde vampire had quickly ran to the bunker worried for Teo's safety. It was a lucky situation because Kal was ready to grab Teo. Sabine rushed by Rebekah side, put her hands on Kal face, and whispered. He was so weak that the sleeping spell easily affected him.
"She is okay, she is okay," Klaus before anyone could ask, he was also wishing it were the truth as he nested her unconscious body in his arm. She was not leaving him, he was not finishing this night losing the first woman he actually loved. Teo was holding on his leg and the worry on his face just scared Klaus, definitely, she was okay. They both could not lose Bonnie.
"Your mommy will be okay." He repeated with more conviction and Teo nodded with a lot more confidence than what was contained in Klaus' voice. The hybrid turned to face the unconscious body Rebekah was carrying and he knew that he still had a family to protect. Bonnie would be okay and they would finish the war the credulis started.
