Chapter 21.
The Original family. Now believing the threat of the Order has passed. Are now trying to get back to normalcy. Normalcy is a relative term especially when it comes to the supernatural. Hayley and Klaus focused on being the best parents they can be for Hope. Not as a couple but as two responsible adults who happen to share a child together. Elijah trying to protect the historic parts of the city. Kol and Davina have mostly been spending their time together alone. Enjoying the newfound peace and lack of we have Henrik and Cora who just spend time together whether it is going to watch some movies. Or other activities things seemed perfect. Henrik did, however, keeps on torturing himself by visiting his father.
Today would be one of those days. A day where Henrik and Cora spend most of the hours of the day together. Right now the two have just walked out of the mall carrying multiple bags.
"How much clothes does a girl need." Commented Henrik.
"Says the boy who has more jackets than this mall." Replied Cora with a smile.
"I actually wear all my jackets, Cora." Said, Henrik.
"I'll wear all my clothes when the right occasion occurs." Spoke Cora.
"There no point in arguing with you." Replied Henrik.
"After five hundred years together. You finally figured that out." Laughed Cora.
"You make me sound dumb." Says Henrik.
"If the fangs fit." Joked Cora. The two then turn and start to walk down a back street where they are suddenly attacked by a group of vampires that ages are 500 years and under! Hernik is thrown across the street. Cora is pinned to a wall by two vampires. While another one quickly injects her with a substance Cora acting quickly kicks the third vampire through a wall. Henrik quickly uses his supernatural speed to run back to Cora and throw and snap the two vampires' necks that are pinning her to a wall. The two vampires collapse onto the floor.
"Are you okay?" Asks Henrik concerned.
"I'm fine." Said, Cora. The two then use their supernatural speed to flee the backstreet.
Meanwhile, over at a small park, we have Hayley and Klaus with little Hope. Little Hope is being pushed in a small pram.
"Are you sure she not cold?" Asked Klaus.
"No, she is fine Klaus." Replied Hayley. The three are suddenly bombarded by a gang of vampires each of their ages five hundred and younger. Hayley and Klaus quickly react ripping out hearts, snapping necks along with a few werewolf bites. However, one of the vampires that attacks managed to inject Hope with the same substance other vampires did before being killed by Hope's parents.
"They have to be vampires from Henrik's sireline." Said Klaus.
"I thought we had them dealt with." Says Hayley.
"It appears not letting them live was a mistake." Spoke Klaus. The two then leave for the compound with little Hope.
Back at the compound, the Original family are standing in the living area including Hayley and Cora.
"We were fools to not kill every vampire of Henrik's sireline." Said Dahlia.
"For once I am in agreement with Aunt Dahlia," Spoke Elijah.
"You're talking about a massacre Elijah, Dahlia." Says Henrik.
"If it keeps our family safe than its what we have to do. Sparing them made us seem weak and we can't show any sign of weakness." Replied Freya to Henrik.
"They hate all other sire lines but their own." Said Cora.
"And every other bloody Original that sired the other lines too." Spoke Rebekah.
"They injected Hope with something and we need to figure out what." Says Hayley.
"Can't Freya, Charlie or Auntie Dahlia do that?" Asks Henrik.
"It will take time. Whatever Hope and Cora were injected with was clearly worth the risk the vampires took to inject them with." Answers Dahlia.
"Charlie, can I talk with you for a second?" Requested Henrik. Charlie nods Henrik then uses his supernatural speed to run to Charlie then run out of the living area and into the dining area.
In the dining area, Henrik doesn't waste a single second. Since he doesn't know how much time they have. When you have a lot of siblings you don't really get a lot of privacy.
"What is that you need to talk to me about?" Asked Charlie. Henrik takes a deep breath before replying.
"I want you to put my Pa back into his original body." Spoke Henrik.
"WHAT!" Snaps Charlie.
"Keep your voice down Charlie please." Says Henrik.
"Why on earth would you want Mikael back in his original body? Are you insane Henrik?" Asks Charlie.
"It's just with the Order, I think it will be safer to have one more original on our side. After, all the Order consist of vampires five-hundred- years and younger. Having all the Originals and three mega powerful witches will help." Said, Henrik.
"And when are you planning on telling your siblings they are no doubt not to like it." Replied Charlie.
"I'm not Nicklaus will no doubt be against it and will try and prevent it. I am asking you as my friend to help me." Begs Henrik. Charlie sighs before replying.
"Fine, but you owe me big time Henrik, I mean it." Said, Charlie.
"Thank you, Charlie. I just hope the others will forgive me and I hope my Pa won't go after Cora." Replied Henrik.
"Let's get this over with I don't want Klaus on my bad side he already gives me a headache." Speaks Charlie. The two then go to where Mikael is being held captive in a mortal body.
The two arrive in the part of the compound where Mikael original body lies next to mortal body Mikael is currently occupying.
"Pa," Says Henrik.
"Grandpa Mikael," Spoke Charlie.
"Come back so soon you really are dependant on me like a dog." Snarls Mikael.
"Please let's be polite after all, you're needed against the Order Grandpa. And because of that, I need to get you back in your original body." Replies Charlie.
"I can already tell that Nicklaus or your other siblings aren't aware of this Henrik," Said Mikael.
"No, but we do need your help the Order retaliated and injected little Hope and Cora with something. We don't know if they have another move or what they injected Cora and Hope with." Replied Henrik.
"Why should I care if the bastard loses its child. And the harlot dies." Speaks Mikael.
"You should care Pa because your children love their niece and Cora makes me happy." Answers Henrik looking at his father with pleading eyes. Puppy eyes if you would like to call them that. Mikael sighs it was a well-known fact within the family that Freya, Rebekah and Henrik were and still are Mikael's favourite of his children.
"How soon will it take to return me to my true body?" Asked Mikael.
"A few minutes tops." Replied Charlie.
Five minutes later Mikael's spirit is returned to his original and true body. Afterwards, Mikael, Charlie and Henrik return to the living area. Upon arriving the elder Mikaelson siblings, Dahlia and Hayley, as well as Cora, are shocked to see Mikael back in his original body.
"What have you done!" Yells Klaus with pure fury in his voice and eyes.
"Klaus, please listen to reason." Said, Henrik. Klaus suddenly uses his hybrid speed to run over to Henrik and pin him to a wall.
"You put Mikael back in his original body. You foul do you have any idea what you've done." Snaps Klaus. Henrik just looks at Klaus expecting this kind of reaction. Mikael without a second thought grabs Klaus and throws him so hard when Klaus makes contact with the table he falls through it and lands on the floor.
"You're the one who is a foul boy. You allowed the remaining members of the Order to survive. And as a result, have endangered your daughter and the harlot." Sneers Mikael.
"HEY, its Cora and I'm in no way a harlot." Snapped Cora. Mikael just ignores her comment.
"Guys, we don't have time to argue. We need to figure out what was in those needles and handle the order." Spoke Henrik. Just a few seconds later Cora starts to feel a bit dizzy and starts to lose her balance and stumbles.
"Henrik, I-I don't feel so good." Says, Cora as she falls to the floor. Henrik runs over to her. Henrik knells down and helps Cora to her feet.
"Cora, I have no idea what is happening." Replied Henrik.
"It, it has to be the whatever it was in the needle, Henrik," Says, Cora.
"Hurry up working on the cure. I have somewhere I need to be." Spoke Henrik before taking Cora to her room to rest.
In Cora's room, Henrik gently lays Cora down on her bed. Cora can't help but feel weak. It was like every muscle in her body is going numb. And Cora finds it hard to focus.
"Henrik," Said Cora.
"Henrik, huh this has to be serious no Rik or puppy face." Chuckled Henrik trying to distract himself from the fear that has already manifested about Cora's condition.
"Whatever you do don't be reckless Henrik. What they have injected me with could be fatal to your siblings." Warned Cora.
"Don't worry about me, Cora after all, I'm a Mikaelson." Responds Henrik.
"I still don't know if that's a good thing. Being a Mikaelson." Laughed Cora weakly.
"I don't think anyone knows." Replied Henrik.
"You, you need to go now." Spoke Cora. Henrik nods not truly wanting to leave her side. Henrik then places a small kiss on Cora's forehead and leaves the room. Henrik doesn't care how long it takes they will find a cure he will find a cure no matter what! Henrik makes his way downstairs and heads for the door.
"Where exactly are you going?" Demands Mikael.
"To get answers and I'm hungry." Answered Henrik. Mikael starts following after him.
"I'll keep an eye on Cora." Declared Rebekah.
