Hello there guys!
Really cool chapter we have ahead if I do say so myself, I was inspired and still not over by The Originals finale, so this chapter is a bit emotionally charged, hope you guys enjoy it ;)
Alex
Ps. Thank you for all your lovely reviews, had a total blast reading them, although, guys I have some questions.
WHY and I ask Why would you think that a Kol/Alexandra pairing would be a good thing? Cause he tried to kill her, like actually drove a stake through her heart ... I'm curious.
Also I see a lot of people on the #Dalex bandwagon and some of you on the #Klalex one... while both possibilities are being pondered I will say this:
I don't do Love Triangles, nor Love Squares, just no, so yeah, what I can assure you is a Happy Ending for everyone involved (well almost everyone) but yeah.
btw, special shoutout to RenTenTen who caught my attempt at being funny with the "It's not instant ramen" line, thank you love, I came up with it all on my own ;)
Having Tyler and Caroline over for breakfast after they walked on me and Damon half-dressed on the couch was turning out to be way much more awkward than what I expected it to be. They had the decency to not mention the issue while the four of us sat at the table, although I could see that Caroline was dying to comment on what they had seen. After Tyler and Caroline left Damon and I exchanged glances and bursted out laughing.
"Did you see their faces?" he asked as we snuggled on the couch.
"My money's on Caroline telling everyone about it" I said with a smirk, he raised his eyebrows at me, amused.
"You know she will, no point in betting on it" he assured me.
"You know, Nik will be a wolf until tomorrow, and I happen to find my schedule free until he takes humanoid form again"
"And what does your plans with Klaus include?" asked Damon, I grinned.
"Murder, possible arson, you know the usual" I said teasingly, "But until then, I remember that you and I were in the middle of something"
"Really now? Care to help me remember?" I took that moment to push Damon down on the couch and crawl over him.
"It went a little like this" I said, my hands on each side of his head, I pressed a kiss to his jaw, then nibbled my way down to his neck.
Damon grasped my thighs, holding me in place, "I never took you for a tease" he grunted as I kissed my way down to his chest.
"Well you're just getting to know me Mr. Salvatore" I said cheekily, however, before I could continue my trail of kisses Damon grabbed my face in his hands and pulled me into a rough kiss.
I walked into the woods with a bag on my shoulder and a smirk on my face, just like the cat that got the canary. Damon had worked wonders on my mood, just thinking about the things the vampire could do with that mouth of his had me all hot and bothered. I sighed in content as I made my way to where Nik was contained, I tore down the wards with a flick of my wrist and walked to where Nik was laying, ass up, on the grass.
His face was peaceful as he slept and I almost felt bad for having to wake him up, there was a rugged look to Nik that had always called to me, something wolfish about him, maybe the beard…definitely the beard. I placed the bag carefully on the ground and crouched next to the sleeping hybrid running a hand through the blonde curls.
"Wakey wakey Nik, it's been two days" I said softly, Nik's eyes fluttered open and he looked at me confused for a moment before pushing himself to a sitting position, I kept my eyes on his face to preserve his 'modesty', knowing Nik he probably didn't have any kind of problem with nudity.
"Ah Nibblet, it's been fun hasn't it?" he asked with a smirk, I rolled my eyes at him.
"Two full days Nik, I'd say that's a new record" I said standing, Nik followed suit, I handed him a pair of boxers, he gave me a funny look.
"I remember you bringing me people to kill" he said as he slid in the boxers, I then handed him a pair of black jeans.
"Well if Mahomed can't go to the mountain, the mountain shall be brought to him, or something like that, I couldn't have you roaming wildly around Mystic Falls, it would have been too much of a clean-up, but I could bring you playthings, I trust you enjoyed them?" I asked as Nik got into the t-shirt, he had a smile on his face.
"You truly went out all the way Nibblet, I'm grateful" he said, I smiled at him.
"You better be, I had to keep the humans from going crazy with concern, you know how I hate that, add to that the witchy friend and two Salvatore brothers" I said, Nik perked up at the mention of the brothers.
"Although one of those brothers have gotten a little too close to you, Damon is it?" he asked, I punched his arm and he chuckled.
"What is it with you Originals being nosey about who I take to my bed?" I asked, Nik smirked at me.
"Just concerned about your wellbeing Nibblet, do I need to threaten him? A little murder never goes amiss" he said, I snorted and shook my head.
"I'm a big girl Nik, although if murder is what you want, isn't today beautiful to commit patricide?" I asked and Nik grinned.
"I thought you'd never ask darling, lead the way" I nodded and handed him a blood bag as we walked to my car.
"Yes the same locket, I don't know Damon, replace it with something else, that thing is haunted and its better off locked up until I arrive, please tell both Stefan and Elena that I'll buy them whatever they want, they just need to lock that up" I sighed as Damon argues through the phone, "I don't care, I literally just told you that the thing could kill Elena, you remember your experience with Emily's talisman? No? Of course I know, I know everything, just please, I've gone through great lengths to keep Elena safe from harm, pretty please… fine, just don't do anything stupid, I suck at writing eulogies"
"Problems in paradise, darling?" asked Nik as I ended the call, I glared at him.
"I should be use by now to dealing with stubborn vampires" I said pocketing my phone, Nik was grinning.
"Anything I should know?" he asked, I raised an eyebrow.
"Your father was trapped by a Bennett witch in the nineties after he tried to go after Elena Gilbert, now I have a white oak stake… don't give me that look, I didn't plant the tree or anything, you'll find out that the infamous Wickery Bridge was built exclusively of white oak, nature is a bitch, I know, but anyways, you can burn down the bridge later, once we kill your father we will collect his ashes so we can use them in the future to kill your evil aunt Dahlia" I said with a smirk, Nik was looking at me confused.
"My what now?" he asked, I laughed.
"Your mother had a sister, Dahlia, many years ago they were captured by Vikings, they planned to use witchcraft to escape their captors but Esther fell in love with Mikael and decided to marry him instead, talk about Stockholm Syndrome, anyways Esther couldn't have children and went to big sister Dahlia for help, turns out that big sis was kind of a bint and asked for all of the firstborns of Esther's line"
"But she never took Finn" Nik said confused, I grinned at him.
"She took Freya, your eldest sister, of course Esther told Mikael that the plague was what took poor little Freya instead of telling her husband the truth and so prompted your family to move to the New World, where sickness couldn't touch you, Mikael was never the same after losing Freya and since then Freya has been an unwilling victim of dear aunty Dahlia" I explained, Nik had a flabbergasted look on his face.
"Nibblet, just how did you come by that information?" Nik asked slowly, I shrugged.
"My magical powers allow me to see past and future, although the present is not clear and the future is prone to change, I only get to see one possible future so my actions need to be well planned, but the past is the past and there is no way to change it" I said, Nik adopted a pensive look on his face.
"Did you know what would happen in New Orleans?" he asked after a moment, I shook my head.
"Not until it was too late for me to act, I began training my magic once I left Elijah, the visions of the past started plaguing me, it was disconcerting which is why I tried to search for you, but like I said, the present is fickle and I can only see a long distance future, it's annoying"
"You never fail to amaze me, Nibblet" Nik said, I sighed.
"At this point I still amaze myself, but anyways to kill Dahlia we need your father's ashes, sacred soil from Norway and your mother's blood, that alone will incapacitate Dahlia enough for us to kill her, I'm sure once we have the ingredients we can have Maddox or Greta do a locating spell, those have never been my forte" I said sheepishly.
"Well you can't be perfect Niblett, and again I find myself in your debt" Nik said with a thoughtful look on his face.
"And again I tell you to think nothing of it, although, I'd like you to turn Tyler into a hybrid, you know minus the sire bond, just to stop him from turning into a wolf, poor kid suffers too much" I said.
"Alexandra, have you ever been told that your heart is too big?" he asked, I snorted.
"Elijah was fond of telling me, yes, but should you feel like this is too fluffy for you we could massacre a small town on our way to North Carolina, I'm never opposed to a little murder" I said with a smirk, Nik laughed.
"Ah, a woman after my own heart"
I grinned as I looked at Nik, blood smearing his face, I probably looked worse for fear, he was grinning happily and bodies were littered in the dark alley that we were in.
"Well that was fun" I said as I dropped the body I was holding.
"You haven't forgotten how to party" Nik said gleefully, I laughed in delight.
"Never, you should have seen the trail of bodies I left behind after leaving New Orleans, good times"
"The Biloxi Massacre?" Nik asked impressed, I smirked.
"And Tallahassee and Gainesville"
"Huh, didn't know you had it in you Nibblet" Nik said.
"It's always the quiet ones Nik" I remarked, we both laughed.
We arrived to the cemetery at night, Nik was adamant on not waiting more time to kill his father and honestly I could see the reasoning behind his pressuring. If I had been abused by my parents, I too, would have want to see them dead. We walked through the mausoleums and tombstones for a while as I didn't know the exact location.
"Are you sure we're at the right place?" Nik asked after a while, I huffed.
"Of course we are Nik, I just wasn't expecting this to be this huge" I said as I read the name on a mausoleum.
"That's what she said" he muttered and I punched him in the arm and he smirked.
I rolled my eyes and looked around, in the distance I saw the mausoleum we were looking for, "Nik! There it is, look"
"Pickett Mausoleum, who picks these names?" he complained as we walked there.
"Maybe the witch who trapped him? You owe that line of witches quite a bit" I pointed out, Nik frowned.
"Who now?"
"The Bennetts, it was our dear Bonnie's mother who managed the herculean feat of trapping your father"
"Really now?" Nik asked surprised, I nodded.
"Maybe once we're done here and if you feel like doing something good we could search for Mrs. Bennett" I proposed.
"Now why would I do that?" he asked, I rolled my eyes.
"Because it's never bad to be in a witch good graces and with how our Mystic Falls gang behaves, it wouldn't hurt you to have a Bennett witch indebted to you, besides you have many enemies, having a few friends wouldn't be that bad" I reasoned, he seemed to think about it.
"Your plan has merit, once I kill Mikael we could revisit the idea" he said, I nodded and pushed the door to the mausoleum open.
"Good thing then that you are about to off him, come along Nik" I said as I walked in.
Mikael was bound in chains and Nik looked delighted by that fact, all my instincts were telling me to run from that place as fast as my legs could take me, which was weird but not unwelcome, I knew that before me laid THE VAMPIRE HUNTER, the thing that The Original Vampires feared, I approached Mikael and looked at Nik.
"Scared, love?" he asked with a smile, I shrugged, he looked at me serious "You know, for many years I thought of this moment where I could kill the man that ruined my happiness, that terrorized me and my siblings for so long, I once had the notion that once he died me and my siblings could find peace"
My heart went out to him, I placed my hand on his arm and smiled at him "Nik" I began softly, "It can be true and I promise you, I swear to you on my life that I will tear apart anyone who dare threatens your happiness, you've earned this" I said stepping closer to him, I grabbed his face with my hands, "I don't know a person who deserves happiness more than you do Nik, you are much more than Mikael could ever hope to be and despite all of your flaws you've shown that you are able to do something that Mikael could never do, you're able to love, to love things, art, and much more importantly to love your family"
"Had that speech prepared did you?" he asked with a smile, I grinned at him and slowly bent down his head with my hands so I could press a kiss to his forehead.
"Forever and always, Nik" I said once I let go of him, he smiled at me before looking back at Mikael and impaling his father's heart with the white oak stake.
We walked out of the cemetery in silence, I carried Mikael's ashes in a jar and the sun was just beginning to come out behind us, Nik opened the passenger door of his SUV for me and I got in. The drive to the motel was done in complete silence, there was something about being with Nik while he killed Mikael that had changed our entire dynamics, we both knew it, it was there nagging at us, neither of us knowing what it meant, but with the knowledge that in time we would.
If you haven't go read my note at the beginning, thanks :)
