Hello Hello! Happy Halloween! Here is my gift...it may too late here but it's not too late somewhere else. The next part will be posted up tomorrow once I finalize everything. :D By the way, after you finish reading this chapter, please leave me a review and let me know what do you think about what is going to happen next with Kayla and is she going to confront Agnes? I would love to hear your opinions or ideas! :D
At. Ann's Catholic Church
Omniscient POV
Father Kieran receives a text message from Chief Sullivan that reads, "36 Charbonnet St. Lower 9th ward." That would be where Agnes would be hiding at. He puts his phone in his pocket and goes to leave, but he's stopped by Klaus.
"Going somewhere?"
Kieran looks stunned. "You're early, "he says nervously.
"Well, it's a good thing I am. You seem hell-bent on enacting vengeance all on your lonesome. The trouble is, I need something from Agnes before you send her off to meet her maker. So, I propose we strike a deal!"
He then sits down in a pew. "Bring her here! In exchange, I'll even ensure your niece, Cami, remains safe. Oh, I'd so hate for her to get caught up in all of this."
Kieran then gives him a dirty look and nodded without saying a word to him.
Later, the police officers in the Faction return to the church with Agnes, who is handcuffed and brought to the front of the room.
Agnes was appalled. "This is outrageous! What is the charge?"
The officers then sit her in a pew and leave.
Kieran scoffs at Agnes. "Please, Agnes. You know that Marcel runs the vampires in this town. "
Kieran gets handed a folded cloth by the officer, which is revealed to contain the Needle of Sorrows, "Who do you think runs everything else?"
He holds the needle up and calls out to Klaus, who vamp-speeds to his side, "I believe this is what you were looking for?"
Klaus smirks at her. "Hello, Agnes."
"You made a deal with him?" Agnes says, shocked.
Kieran becomes furious at her, "After what you did to Sean, I'd deal with the devil himself just to make you suffer!"
Agnes stood up and gets in Kieran's face, "You can't hurt me. The entire witch community will turn against you!"
Klaus became impatient and snaps at them, "ENOUGH! Please, enough! I don't care about witch politics. I don't care about your ridiculous little Harvest ritual. What I care about is this trinket." He holds up the Needle of Sorrows. "Undo its curse, or I'll show you things worse than death!"
Agnes smirks at Klaus. "Dark objects don't come with an off-switch! The curse took root in Sophie; she's linked to your devil child. It's just a matter of time!"
Michelson Mansion
Hayley is wrapped in a towel, sitting outside beside the swimming pool. Rebekah stands behind her, checking her temperature, while Elijah assists Sophie in helping with the herbs. Kayla is stripping off her jacket and her ankle boots and then immediately jumped into the pool to get ready for Hayley, letting out a shocked gasp to the cold water.
Elijah shrugs off his jacket and rolls up his sleeves, "She's burning up! We need to do this now."
"Get her in the water!" Sophie says, grabbing the herbs and a cup.
Elijah jumps into the pool and helps Hayley in, and Kayla joins by wrapping her arm around Hayley's shoulders, helping her.
Sophie mixes herbs in a cup and follows them into the water as well.
Rebekah becomes frustrated, "I don't see how a midnight swim is supposed to help."
Sophie replies back quickly. "Her temperature is sky-high. The water, with the help of the herbs, should cool us down."
She hands Hayley the herbal concoction, "Drink this!"
Sophie then turns to Elijah, "You're going to have to get her heart rate down."
"How do you suggest I do that?"
"Hold her. It's a natural human remedy to slow the heart rate and reduce blood pressure."
"This is never going work," Rebekah says worriedly.
Elijah ignores his sister and pick Hayley up, holding her bridal-style in the pool.
"Davina will break the link, we just need time," Elijah says, staring at Kayla as she puts her hands back on Hayley to continue to take her body temperature into her.
Hayley clings to Elijah and groans as she gasps for breath.
Kayla stared at Elijah then closed her eyes to focus on Hayley and the baby.
St. Anne's Church/Mikaleson Mansion
Davina is sitting on her bed in her room, studying the spell intently. She stares at the sangorium knot on her vanity, and after a moment, she stands up and walks over to it. She picks up the knot with both hands and takes a breath before she begins the spell. This time, she recites it properly.
Davina begins to whisper, "Phesmatos omnio legares cordate…"
In the swimming pool at the Mikaelson Mansion, Hayley begins hyperventilating.
"I can't breathe!" Hayley cries out.
Kayla could feel her breathing shorten each time but still was able to focus on her.
"Okay, long deep breaths, Hayley! Look at me. Long deep breaths, just focus on the sound of my voice," Elijah lowers his voice to a whisper. "You'll be okay. You'll be okay."
In Davina's room, she continues the spell.
"Phesmatos omnio legares cordate sangorium."
The clock on her table chimes as it hits 09:00PM.
Kayla's POV
Haley screams in pain and thrashes in Elijah's hold.
"AHHHH! AHHHH!" Hayley screams, grabbing her belly.
I lose my focus and immediately opened my eyes. I felt her pain and let out a groan, removing my hands off from her. The pain continues so I immediately move over to the edge of the pool, letting out a groan, grabbing my belly.
"Rebekah!" Elijah shouted out when he saw me doubling over in pain. Rebekah rushes over to me, "What's wrong?"
I whimpered as I felt the pain getting worse. "Something's wrong!" I whisper to her, gasping in pain. "Are you sure you're feeling Hayley's pain and not yours?"
I let out a short scream, "NO! Oh god." I grind my teeth and shut my eyes, seeing the vision of Davina doing her spell.
The knot in Davina's hands floats in the air and begins to unknot itself. Sophie starts to gasp as the linking spell begins to lift. Hayley continues to groan in pain. The knot completely unravels itself in midair and Davina smiles and giggles in happiness.
In the pool, Sophie looks up at the sky, looking almost disappointed.
"I just felt it lift," Sophie announces, looking at the sky.
Rebekah sighs in relief while rubbing my back as I let out a groan in pain and also in relief. I open my eyes and look at her concerned face. "I'm okay…" I whisper, still holding on tight on the edge of the pool. Rebekah was about to disagree with me when I gave her the look "I'm fine, damn it." She shuts her mouth quickly.
Hayley starts to calm down, and Elijah looks stunned. Hayley stands up on her own, but still leans against Elijah, still weak from the spell. Sophie removes one of her earrings and pokes her palm with it. Hayley looks at her palm, and she and Elijah look relieved when she's not injured. Elijah quickly lets go of her hand and went over to check on Kayla.
"Kayla?" Elijah says, looking over me to make sure that I was okay.
I gave him my small smile. "I'm fine. I'm just exhausted from taking her fever and also the pain."
"Are you sure?" Elijah asks, grabbing my hand in concern. He and I stare at each other for a long moment. Rebekah notices at our shared glances, so Elijah quickly let my hand go and leads Hayley out of the pool.
"Come on, let's go, "Elijah says, helping Hayley.
"Elijah… as soon as your brother finds out that the link is broken, he'll kill Agnes. I know you don't owe me anything, but please, don't let him kill her."
I look at him as Elijah zooms out of the pool and pulls his phone out of his jacket on the table.
"Elijah! She's our only access to the power we need to survive. Promise me that you'll stop him!"
I roll my eyes at Sophie as Rebekah helped me to get out of the pool and threw the towel on me. I wrap the towel around me, shivering in the cold air.
Elijah ignores Sophie as she begs him and dials a number into his phone before raising it to his ear. It's Klaus, though only Elijah's side of the call is heard.
"It's me, where are you? Don't hurt her. I'll be there shortly."
He hangs up and turns to Sophie, "I'll make you one last promise. I won't let my brother kill Agnes."
Sophie nods at him gratefully, and Elijah picks up his jacket and shoes and walks away. I follow him into the house.
I let out a frustrated groan. "Actually, I'm going with you, Elijah. I want to see Agnes."
Elijah looks surprised. "You need to rest, Kayla after tonight."
"I don't care; I want to see her before you guys do anything to her. I want to know what happened to my mother and my sister. Elijah…Please."
I watch his jaw working in thought for a moment then he nods at me.
"Thank you. I'll change real quickly." I whisper, walking past him and ran upstairs to borrow Rebekah's clothes.
