Hi guys! I know what you're all thinking: There are too many damn plot twists is here! Well, I agree. Anyway, all the secrets are now revealed, so – no more plot twists. I thought about the next two chapters 'till 3am last night, so please do review and tell me what you think. :)
"How did you know?" She asked, looking up at his dark eyes.
"I'm very familliar of your family's history." He said. "And I didn't fail to notice a line of witches throughout it."
"I haven't practiced magic for years. Decades, to be more precise." She said.
"Wait, how can she be a vampire and a witch?" Hayley asked.
"Quite simple, really. She inherited her great-grandmother's witch gene, and of course, when she was turned, that magic got back to the ground." He said. "But, one part of magic stayed in her, even during her vampire life, although..." He paused and looked at Alice. "It had to be triggered."
"By what?" Hayley asked.
"By an extremely strong emotion – which could be anything: saddness, happiness..."
"...Pain." Alice finished his sentence and turned her head towards the door.
"Exactly." Elijah confirmed. "Now, if I'm not wrong..." He approached Alice. "Your blood is also half-human." He said and extended his hand. "May I?" She gave him her hand, which he bit. "And yet, it heals." He said, looking at her hand, healing.
"I'll do it." She said and walked to the map, with determination. "I'll need blood of a Klaus's relative." She said and looked at Elijah. He took a knife from the table, but Hayley stopped him.
"I have even better." She took the blade from him and cut her hand, letting her blood drop on the map.
"Are you a relative?" Alice asked is confusion. Elijah told her the names of all his sibling during the way there, and Hayley wasn't one of them.
"No. But, this child I'm carrying is his." She said and withdrew her hand. Alice closed her eyes and chanted.
Phasmatos Tribum, Nas Ex Viras, Sequita Sanguines
Ementas Asten, Mihan Ega Petous
She finished chanting and looked at the map – the blood didn't move. She sighed in disappointment.
"Try again." Elijah said. She looked at him and started chanting again, slower and more concentrated.
Phasmatos Tribum, Nas Ex Viras, Sequita Sanguines
Ementas Asten, Mihan Ega Petous
She opened her eyes and looked at the map again. The blood, slowly, started moving. She smiled as she looked at the blood slowly moving to the south part of New Orleans. Suddenly, a girl walked into the room. She had blonde hair and was very beautiful.
"Hello Elijah." She greeted and approached the map herself.
"Rebekah, you came." He said.
"Of course I came. I want to save our brother as much as you do." She said and looked at Alice. "Ah, you must be the young girl my brother kidnapped. I'm Rebekah." She smiled.
"Alice." She said and looked back at the map. The blood stopped moving.
"It's pointing a hospital." Alice said. Rebekah looked at the map.
"I know where that is." She said. "Now, Elijah. You stay with Hayley, and I'll go with the girl to get our brother back." She said.
"Allright." Elijah agreed. "Sister, don't let Niklaus see you."
"I won't." She said and walked out of the room with Alice.
Luckily, they didn't have to walk to the hospital. They entered Rebekah's car which was parked at the front of the house.
...
"Why shouldn't you let Klaus see you?" Alice asked at one point of the trip. She wasn't really hoping to get an answer, but someone in this family had to explain at least something to her if they expected her help.
"Nik and I had... a row, about six months ago." She said. "He could have killed me, but he didn't. Instead, he let me go."
"That's awful." Alice said.
"That's my brother." Rebekah answered. "We're here." She said and parked her car. They were in front of an enormous, old hospital.
"Don't worry." Rebekah said. "I don't intend to make you look for him on your own." She said and exited the car.
They walked to the hospital together and through its dark, long corridors. They followed their ears and noses – there was a strong smell of blood. They walked from one room, to the other. The place was deserted.
"We could use another locator spell, don't you think?" Rebekah joked. Alice quite liked listened carefully, but there wasn't even a sound. Rebekah worried.
"We should at least hear breathing." She said. Alice looked at her.
"You don't think he's..."
"No." Rebekah answered. "Klaus can't be killed. But... he can be put to sleep." She said and entered one of the rooms. She was right.
Klaus was lying on one of the beds, with a golden dagger in his heart.
"Who menaged to do this?" Alice asked as Rebekah approached him. Rebekah pointed to a girl lying in the corner. She had a knife in her heart too, but she was most definately dead.
"I think she killed herself." Rebekah stated and pulled the dagger out. "Now..." She looked at Alice. "I need you to stay here 'till he wakes up."She said, compelling her. "I have to go. I'll take this with me." She said and took the dagger.
"But... when will he wake up?" Alice asked.
"I don't know. Somewhere between two hours and two days." Rebekah smiled. Alice hoped that she was joking.
"Goodbye, Alice" Rebekah said. "It was nice to meet you."
"It was nice to meet you too." Alice said and watched Rebekah leave. "I guess." Then she got back to Klaus. She sat on the bed next to his and sighed.
All she had was time...
