A. The cure
Nemeria POV
After my little 'outburst' with that wolf I needed a shower when I get to my bathroom, I decided to take a bath instead and relax a little bit before I go to that little shopping trip with Eva and Hayley. Not that I really want to go but I want to understand the connection between Eva and the Mikaelson. It doesn't make sense why a witch will go find help and protection from vampires.
There is more to know I am positive about that. She is either hiding something or she has a problem with the French quarter's witches. Sergio said she had family here; did she lie?
I was still in my thought when Alexis came into the bathroom and gave me my phone,
I look surprise on why he will disturb me for a call. I checked the id and saw Sergio name on it. I looked back panicked at my brother and he seems anxious he didn't say anything else and just nod.
Nemeria: "Sergio dear are you alright? I didn't hear from you for quite some time now! Where are you? Why are you not here already?"
Man voice: "Hello you too Nemeria!" he said in an icy voice.
I rise myself in a seating position and said in an unaffected tone
Nemeria: "what do you want Lucien? And why do you have my ward phone?!"
Lucien: "Hello too Nemeria"
Nemeria: "Lucien! What the bloody Hell are you doing with my ward?"
Lucien: "Relax! I just pass by to say Hello. You know with all that 'so long no see'. But imagine my surprise when I got here and you are not there. Your ward told me that you were in New Orleans with the Mikaelson ooh and most of all your ward is going to be a daddy !" He yelled at the end.
Nemeria: "Lucien if you touch one hair of Sergio so help me! I will kill you and we both know I have every mean to do so!" I snapped coldly.
Lucien: "sure I can imagine. But why are you with the Mikaelson that has never been the plan! Are you trying to outsmart me beautiful? Cause I can assure you. You will lose. I am always a step ahead of everybody!"
Nemeria sight and said: "calm down. We are not trying to bypass you. The plan is still on just a little bump in the road we need to fix"
Lucien: "that bump on the road was not even supposed to be there anymore. Two decades ago when I sent you too to extinguished the bloodline of that bloody witch you came back with two kids and one of them become your ward ! I can really easily snap is neck right now and…" I cut him
Nemeria: "Lucien! Don't you dare…"
Lucien: " I warn you Nemeria if you try anything to ruin my plan, I will hunt you down and I will shove the blood of Sergio's heir down your throat myself!"
Nemeria: "no need to remind me that my ward offspring is our weakness!"
Lucien: "I hope for you that you will kill that thing in uterus for the sake of all of us. Tristan is getting more cocky and arrogant each day. I want him gone! Actually I want his entire sire line gone."
Nemeria: "The plan has never been to kill the Originals but simply to put them in rest far from any danger or harm in order for us to become the ruler class. They have done their time and now we want more. We want to be at the top of the chain and this will be only possible if we take them down and lock them away."
Lucien: "That was the original plan of the Trinity but now we are all acting solo. Tristan is planning a big move. So is Aurora, we barely act civil toward each other because the Mikaelson won't tolerate chaos. If they know that a war is coming they will take us down. We have to take them down first."
Nemeria: "Well, we have a problem; first we need a witch, a powerful one with at least the power of hundred witches to take them down, secondly, Rebekah is missing. I have no idea where she can be. Lastly, they have Freya, a new sister, really powerful. I faintly felt a headache when she used it against me. With a little boost, I would have been down. I had to control myself as if I didn't feel anything. There are also the wolves, those beasts are their allies for now and I suspect the witches to be their allies too. My ward's baby mama is a witch and yet she came to the Mikaelson for protection"
Lucien: "We need to break those alliances. I already have someone spying the witches from inside"
Nemeria: "great now, we will take down the wolves and find Rebekah then I will kill Freya. She is too powerful."
Lucien: "How are Klaus and the baby?"
Nemeria: "Is it care or genuine concern that I perceive from you, right now, for your sire? Hahahahahahaha. So cute, he is fine, his baby too that werewolf slut who served him as a baby mama just give him a hard time right now. He cursed her and her husband I don't really know why but he is stressing about that"
Lucien: "I would have help him in order to gain his trust if I were you"
Nemeria: "Of course, you would. Did you know your sire has another son here, Marcel, a little bird informs me that he has opened a fight pit after the bloody welcome Alexis and I gave him. We could have killed him but it would have been obvious. Apparently he is king of the city too now. "
Lucien: "I will deal with Marcel personally in the mid time place your pawn strategically and get out of New Orleans. The trinity is coming and we better not find you there sweetheart."
Nemeria: "Don't be so dramatic and send Sergio over here. The sooner he got here the sooner he will convince his baby mama to come with us"
Lucien: "I am putting him in the next plane for NOLA, good bye Nemeria" he hangs up. I put my phone down and slid deeper in my bath. Alexis takes his clothes off and join me in the bath.
Lexis: "Are you worried about what Lucien said "
Nemeria: "The trinity has only be formed to be a vulgar copy of the original family. Over the century they gain in power while the originals make sure to keep the balance between each bloodline. Don't think for a second that I was going to let them rule over the entire vampire species after the originals. This has never been the plan. No, the plan is to let them come here, The Mikaelson will kill them for us that is for sure. And at the moment they won't see it coming we will take them. Lucien, Tristan and Aurora have different agenda therefore they will be struck down one by one. We just have to wait. We are going to be the ruling class after the Mikaelson, brother." I close my eyes and rest on top of lexis chest while he is massaging me when I heard
Klaus: " well well, what type of disturbing view do we have here?" he smirk
KLAUS POV
I was on my to the nursery to check on Hope when I heard a conversation between Jackson and Hayley
Hayley: "I am going to be stuck into a wolf once more tonight and it kills me that for an entire month I won't be able to see her. I have missed so much of her life Jake."
Jackson: "I know Hayley, if I could take this pain away I would. I love you and it hurts me to see Hope and you separate. I should have protected you from Klaus and I didn't. Now the pack is divided. Nick, Aiden's brother told me that KURT is trying to start a revolution every second. People are listening to him. We might lose the pack if they found out the link is broken. Kurt is trying to challenge our position as Alpha"
Hayley: "This is all my fault; I hurt so many people trying to protect my daughter. The pack needs to see that we are with them no matter what."
Jackson: "I will go to the bayou and talk to them. You can stay here and take care of Hope. I love you Hayley and I will do anything for you and your daughter."
Hayley: "I love you too, Jake. I screw up everything and I am sorry for that trust me. I don't blame you for Freya and I want us to look past that."
Jackson: "sure" then a long silence follow. I stop listening. My knees got weak. What was I expecting anyway? By putting this curse on her, yes I was punishing her but I was also trying to protect her and keep her safe but she doesn't see that. I guess part of me thought that she cared about me. This is pathetic! Thinking that Hayley was falling in love with me while she can have Jackson or Elijah? They are better than me, I know that but for Hope, I will always try to be the better man. I have to convince Nemeria to break the spell. Hope deserves to have her mother too. I will deal with those wolves personally. But what if I hurt them and Hayley hates me after that. I don't care about Hayley anyway or what she thinks about me. My daughter security is at most importance and for her, I will hurt anyone.
I went to the twin's bedroom and there was no one in the room. I open the door of the bathroom and find them in the bath together, they eyes clothes doing god knows what a minute ago
Klaus: "well well, what type of disturbing view do we have here?" they didn't even flinch or open they eyes
Nemeria: " I presumed by now if you are here it's because you heard I almost kill that dog. No need to ruin my mood with a sermon. I had no intention to kill that animal. I know how much it's bother you that he is still alive"
Klaus: "Nonsense, I don't give a rat about Jackson, I need him to control the wolves and that is why you won't do anything to him." She vamp speed to me immediately and tilt her head on the side staring at me
Nemeria: "what is it with the wolves? Why do you care about controlling them"
Klaus: "well, I guess that is my business"
Nemeria: "Or you are afraid to hurt them because you don't want Hayley to hate you"
Klaus: "I don't care about Hayley or what feelings whatsoever she can have towards me"
Nemeria: "Really?" she said closing the space between us. She was so close that I could feel her breast against my torso.
Nemeria: "the wolves are a potential threat to you or worse your daughter and yet here you are not taking care of silencing any soul conspiring against you? What stop you or Elijah if it is not your care for Hayley. You taught me better. If you were still the Klaus Mikaelson that I knew you would have kill them all long time ago."
Klaus: " well who is stupid enough to kill his own army?"
Nemeria: " The wolves are not yours and their loyalty are not particularly in your favor right now. That is why you are so desperate to break Hayley's curse am i right? Let me strike a deal with you, I will help you with that little problem you have with the wolves and in exchange you will give me Eva."
Klaus: "Absolutely not, Eva is under our protection and therefore out of limit for you."
Nemeria: "but who is she to you anyway? It's not like she is a powerful witch or something so?"
Klaus: "she is Freya's protégé and my big sister can become very nasty when you take what's hers. It's a Mikaelson's trait if I may say"
Nemeria: "then, I want something else, in exchange, to break Hayley's curse"
Klaus: "What is it?" she takes me into a hug and whisper in my neck
Nemeria: "YOU" I glance at Lexis over her shoulder in the bath and notice how tense he was. He was barely containing is rage. To test his reaction I take one step closer to Nemeria and cup her butt. Furious, lexis stood up suddenly. I smile and vamp speed out of there with Nemeria. before he took one more step. By the racket coming out of the room he was really pissed.
When we got to my room, I push her on the bed and kneeled between her legs. Her body is perfect and I am not going to lie to myself to say that the price was really hard to pay.
Nemeria: "I know how sexy I am and I can also tell how much you enjoy what you see but are you going to do something or stare at me the whole time?" she said annoyed
Klaus:" make you wait has never been in my intention love. " I start to kiss her. Nemeria being a vampire has it perks: one I don't have to hold myself she obviously will not fall pregnant and second she won't get tired after the second round which was usually the time Cami did fall asleep. We make love in every inch of my room and by the sound she made. The whole compound knew what we were doing.
HAYLEY POV
Jackson left for the Bayou to talk to the wolf and I joined Rebekah, Freya and Eva downstairs with Hope.
Freya: "glad you are here Hayley, we need to discuss how we are going to get Nemeria's blood. We have until 9 pm tonight."
Hayley: "okay, what do you propose?"
Eva: "she wants you two to become friend which I don't buy. Nemeria doesn't have friends she doesn't trust anyone so why becoming you friend is so Important all of the sudden"
Elijah: "Or Maybe befriend Hayley has never been her plan. She was probably trying to lure you both outside and take you down. She wants the baby and she hates Hayley so why take you out for a girl afternoon."
Freya: " I found that odd too. All we know is what she told us. We have no guarantee that her blood will work. What if she has just lie about her blood? Every cursed or spell have a loophole. Why Rebekah's baby is so important for her. Rebekah, you said the father of your child was scared that she found out for the baby. Now she wants to play happy family. I don't think that for a second. I think the baby has something she needs. Over the centuries she has killed witches all over Europe and now she wants a baby part witch? I bet you that this baby is the key"
Hayley: "So what do we do now?"
Lexis: "Nothing at all." We all stop talking when lexis entered the room. Not sure of how much he heard. He went to pour himself a glass of scotch then a second, a third and finally he gulp the entire bottle.
Hayley: "WOOOHH man, rough day I see. What's up with you?" he tilt his head and walk toward me slowly staring at hope than me alternatively until he kneeled before us. I put Hope against my shoulder and show him my hybrid eyes.
Lexis: " I wonder how he does that? Every time he has to come and ruin everything. Maybe if I hurt something he likes too he will understand that it is not okay"
Elijah: " lexis, I advise you to take a step back before I do something " Lexis look at Elijah blink a couple of time and start laughing
Lexis: "what do you think I could do Elijah? hurt a baby because, I don't like her father. I have done that but usually what I prefer to do is kill the child in front of the said father. Elijah vamp speeds to us grab Lexis by his neck and hit his head on the floor then he turn lexis to face him and put one foot on his neck.
Elijah: "this is the last warning. If you threat Hayley or Hope one more time I will have your head."
Lexis continues to look at Elijah and I saw a tear running down lexis' face. Elijah looked away and gave him his hand.
Elijah: "Where is Nemeria? We need her to break the curse"
Lexis: "I don't know why don't you ask Nicklaus?"
Elijah: "so that is all this is about? You are jealous of Klaus and Nemeria? Unbelievable, she is your sister do you people have no moral at all?"
Lexis: "we, vampires, are an abomination of the nature. Why would we be affected by society codes and morality, we don't need that. We are a superior race and as an original you should see things like that too"
Freya: "well we don't have time. There is only couple of hours left!"
Lexis: "if you are so worried about that damn curse why don't you ask your brother to hurry up? I am sure Hayley can tell how long it takes him usually isn't it? or better why don't you ask him to stop FUCKING MY SISTER ONCE AND FOR ALL !"
Elijah: "calm down Alexis. He is right someone need to talk to Klaus. And that will be you Hayley!"
Hayley: "Wait why me?"
Freya: "It is you curse after all and I am sure Klaus will be distracted enough to stop 'fucking Lexis dear sister' as he have so poetically said"
I sighed heavily and stood up to talk to Klaus this is very embarrassing. When I approach the door and I heard them. My stomach drop for some reason and I almost lost the courage. I scowl myself for reacting like this and knock loudly on the door
Hayley: "KLAUS! Open the door *BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM* we need to talk"
Klaus: "I am kind of busy love, wait for your turn or come back later little wolf"
Hayley: "What the hell Klaus!" I barged into the room and I regret immediately what I saw.
Nemeria on top of Klaus his hand on her waist and Nemeria kissing his neck. I cover my eyes and said
Hayley: "we need to talk right now!"
Nemeria: "well we are coming. Do you mind closing the door behind you? Thanks"
Hayley: "yeah, sure and by the way your brother is completely losing it downstairs so you might want to hurry up and calm him down. When he threaten Hope and I, Elijah has almost had to tear his head off"
Klaus and Nemeria: "What?!" I left them surprise and heard sheets and clothes moving obviously I got their attention at the end. I went back to the living room and Jackson entered too. He looked very exhausted I guess the meeting with the wolves didn't go as plan. But we will fix that.
Freya: "well?"
Hayley: "on their way!"
Lexis: "great!"
A few minutes later they enter the living room where we were all sitting
Nemeria: "Are you okay brother?" she cups his face but he didn't react at all. He just looked very angry and tense. Lexis leaned toward her and whispered
Lexis: "please let me go before I hurt you and kill myself. I can't even look at you when you have his scent all over you" he voice crack a little bit at the end and Nemeria drop her hands from his face. He passed her without another word, brush Klaus shoulder and left the compound.
Klaus was smiling clearly happy about the twin falling apart. Nemeria composed herself and erase the distressed face she had plastered across her face a second ago.
Klaus: "So, what is it?"
Freya: "we need Nemeria's blood. Right now"
Klaus: "Nemeria, love, your blood"
She looked at me, walk to Klaus and sit on top of him her bathrobe a little open. She clearly wasn't wearing anything under. She bites her wrist and said
Nemeria: "Come Hayley, let me do this for Klaus"
Hayley: "why don't you pour it into a glass?"
Nemeria: "because love that's what we are and that is what we do. We drink from the vein. Now do you want the cure or not?"
Hayley: "Does Jackson have to drink too?" I asked Freya.
Freya: "Yes, just to be sure at least."
Jackson: "This is crazy; I am not going to drink from a bloodsucking vampire"
Klaus: "No one cares about what you want Jackson. Actually if you along can stay stuck into a wolf form for the entire month that will be a bonus"
Hayley: "Jake, it's for the pack, please"
Nemeria: " So, Hayley are you drinking or what?" she said impatiently"
Hayley: "take a glass" and I give it to her.
Nemeria: "quite stubborn your little wolf Klaus, now I know why you are attracted to her."
Klaus rolled his eyes and take the glass,
Nemeria: " I didn't need werewolves toxic bite on my body anyway" she bite her wrist again and pour the blood in the glass Klaus was holding.
She gave the glass full to me. I drink half and gave the other half to Jackson. He frown first but then drink it in one gulp.
Klaus: "good, now how do we know it worked?"
Freya: "do you feel any different?"
Hayley: "I feel my wolf excited and anxious to get out like as if part of me was lock somewhere and now I am whole again and can't contain myself"
Freya: " And you Jackson? How do you feel?"
Jackson: "I feel normal like human even. It seems that I feel weaker than before the curse"
Freya: " I guess we will have to wait after 9 pm to be sure"
Nemeria:" it worked trust me"
A few hours later, we had the confirmation that it worked. I felt so relieved, finally, I will be able to enjoy the most important thing of my life.
Freya, Klaus, Elijah and Rebekah were still in the living room after I put Hope to sleep and Jackson went to bed too.
Elijah: " let's celebrate this with…" Nemeria interrupts Elijah when she joined us by saying.
Nemeria; " I can't find my brother and he is not answering his phone." She said in a worried tone
Hayley: "obviously, he was pissed. I don't think he will attend your call right now" I said in a mocked tone
Klaus: " he is a grown man he will come back when he will feel like it. Right now he is seeking your attention and you are giving him just that. Relax love"
Nemeria: "this is just not my problem, and you better make it your priority too. When my brother is pissed he takes it on people as no one here seems hurt my guess is right now he is either killing the population of New Orleans or my personal favorite the witches. If he wanted to hurt me, he would have killed Eva; hopefully, Sergio my ward is not here so I am fine. But what about you Klaus! Where is Marcel?"
Hayley: "OMG, Hope" I gasped and run into the nursery. She was okay. I took her from the crib and lay her on my bed next to Jackson. There is no way I am going to let anyone hurt her.
KLAUS POV
I am tired of people trying to make my home a war zone. I am going to kill these too very soon. I don't know how yet but soon. I call Marcel
Klaus:" hello, Marcel"
Marcel: "Klaus, what's up?"
Klaus: "do you have any info from Davina yet?"
Marcel: "she is a little bit pissed with me right now. And if she knows it's for you she will definitely don't do anything"
Klaus: "she better want to help us take them down. Alexis is on the loose and he likes to hunt and kill witches."
Marcel: "what happen?'
Klaus: "He is somewhat possessive about his sister and I happened to spend time with his sister so let just say he is not very happy right now and looking for comfort in mass murdering. By the way, I suggest you to come at the compound until we settle everything."
Marcel: "I don't know man, I better not find myself stuck in this chapter of the Mikaelson plus I have my men to look after too"
Klaus: " Okay but try to be safe. Anything magic related can't kill him but I bet a wooden stake will probably slow him down if he came after you"
Marcel: "alright bye"
When I hung up I heard Nemeria shouting at the parlor. Elijah and myself vamp speed out and Freya stay behind to protect Rebekah.
The court was filled with werewolves' corpse, apparently Hayley's pack. Alexis was cover in blood smiling at us
Lexis: " look what I have done of your army Nicklaus! Are you happy sister? I struck down all those dogs which dare conspire against my brother in law" he laughed.
Elijah and me didn't flinch at whole. It has been my plan all along but I could not do it myself and risk to lose Hayley loyalty so actually by showing that I cared he thought that it was an opportunity to hurt me.
Klaus: "good job lad you spare at Elijah to ruin a pair of his expensive boots in the swamp"
Hayley: " NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, I WILL KILL YOU BOTH FOR THIS!"
