Hey guys! I'm back again the second time this week! I've got. Itching to do, so I might as well post this mini chapter! If you are really interested to know of Elijah's sudden change, read on!


Chapter Twelve (Mini Chapter): Fear The Fugu

The three siblings edged further away from the penguin, shocked by the sudden behavioral change, narrowing their eyes in suspicion. Elijah widened his eyes in bewilderment and looked at his siblings' face one to another, not understanding the further distance made by his siblings.

"Why the sudden distance? I don't understand," Elijah asked, staring from one face to another.

"What do you all think happened to him?" Kol whispered like a conspiracist, taking a good look at the penguin.

Elijah gulped and continued staring as if he was in job interview, and if he could sweat, he would have drowned.

"It must be his diet. Carnivores never last long, come to think of it," Rebekah

"Hey! Carnivore here, you know!" Kol and Klaus protested together.

"Maybe because he's a bird. Birds have small brains." Klaus thought, reminiscing hummingbirds.

"Nik, don't be bird-cist! It's a capital offense!" Rebekah scolded, rapping her law on his head.

While the two siblings were fighting with themselves, talking about bird politics and this and that, Kol's sharp eyes saw that Elijah was constantly rubbing his stomach in one place, and only one place vigorously most of the time.

"Didn't you notice him rubbing hisssss sssssstomach all the time?" Kol whispered, eyes zeroing in to the spot, hitting his siblings.

"Yes I did. Never thought much of it though," Klaus answered.

Rebekah steeped forward and swiped Elijah's hand out of the way. After a few minutes, a weird ball shape with spikes emerged in the penguin's tummy. Klaus furrowed his eyebrows as if he had been offended, staring at the weird shape.
And the worst and most disgusting part was, it was still moving.

"Oh my- BLEGH!" Kol vomited, regurgitating his last meal on to the swamps.

The vomit damaged a bit of the swamp's eco-system, and some fishes and crocodiles floated up. Klaus glared at his brother, who smiled at the floating dead swamp animals sheepishly.

"Hehe. Whoopssss. Sssssorry," Kol apologised, and if he could blush, his face would have been as red as a tomato.

Rebekah however, was not concerned by the damaged swamp eco-system, not even blinking at the floating fishes and crocodiles. She was closely scrutinizing the moving ball of spikes in Elijah's abdomen.

"Oh sister, it hurts so much. I can barely breathe!" Elijah whined like a high school cheerleader.

Rebekah eyed Elijah with annoyance, before using a finger of her paw to poke the mysterious shape. The spiked ball moved in the irritation at Rebekah's touch, and the eyes and mouth showed through the penguin's stomach.

Kol's face frozen in fear, eyes staring at the eye and mouth protruding out of his brother's stomach. Klaus came closer, unable to discern what this mysterious object was.

"Elijah. You have ssssswallowed... Ssssswallowed... The fugu," Kol whispered solemnly, like an explorer mentioning a legend.

Rebekah and Klaus gasped, heads darting back to Elijah's stomach. Elijah held his stomach and let out a strangled chirp. He rolled on his side and started crying, afraid that this few days were his last.

"Oh, I confess, I confess. I knew something was in me the moment Davina disguised as Shane's girlfriend fed me this strange raw fish. I thought it was sashimi, but when I realized that I was dying, I decided to live my life the more cheerful, childlike way, and then changed my mind and decided to live as who I am in the last few days of my life," Elijah sobbed, patting the poisonous fish in his abdomen.

"Elijah. We will not let you die. Kol, do you know anything else about this fish?" Klaus inquired, worried for his brother's life.

"Well, the only way of curing him is to empty out his ssssstomach and feed him activated charcoal. I know, eating charcoal'ssss weird, but I guessssss it'sssss the only way out," Kol mentioned, cocking his head to the stomach.

"How do you know so much?" Rebekah asked, suspicious.

"I WATCHED SOMEONE GET POISSSSONED!" Kol shouted, lifting the penguin up and back into Professor Shane's house.

Elijah sighed as he was being carried away, dreading the operation ahead of him.


Well, we haven't seen the last of Davina, I can promise you that. This is also a mini chapter, so there went as many world as a normal one. SPOILER: The next chapter will feature mayhem in Elijah's operation. Shane will be back too. Goodbye, and have a good day :D!
