Beautiful Dreaming Warrior

P.S., I don't own any of the Vampire Diaries cast or their canon actions. I only own those that you don't recognize. THE MORE REVIEWS I GET MEANS FASTER REACTION TIMES ON MY SIDE TO UPDATE.

Previously on Divine Beauty:

"I'm sorry that all this happened to you, little one." I look up as Rohan crawls into my lap and I cradle him in my arms letting him rest his head over my heart. His little fingers splayed out resting slightly.

"It okay papa. It made me grow stronger." I say softly as he comes and sits on the ground next to me. "I even fell in love."

"I know. I approve of him, but I don't get to say anything. I'm not allowed to until he tells you something." I lay my head on his shoulder. We sit there in silence as my eyelids fall. A peaceful sleep. Rohan and dad snoring both in tune but different tones. Mom cooking as the air around us becomes electrified. My vine settling back on my skin. "Go back to your body little one and kick some ass."

She sits down next to the body as the removal of the dagger sends a wave of earth magic to Rayen.

Back to Rayen's property:

My eyes pop open and I see Melody and Anya cuddled up. I smile as I feel roots around me and I move them putting them back where they were before. The look so cute! I thinks to myself before I manipulate the plants to help me carry them and their picnic area. I move them into the house before having the house put them in Anya's room.

I look at them as they cuddle closer Riptide meows and jumps up on her bed and cuddles with them. I aww and close the door before opening the kitty corner door. I walk to my bathroom before arming the house and making sure that the caretaker's family is doing alright. Once my anxiety is satiated I do my nightly routine. Face, teeth, hair, and pj's. I look at myself in the mirror and I remember holding my baby boy. I still feel his little hand on my chest my tears start sliding down my cheeks and I walk to bed. My body shuddering as I sob my heart out. I am so glad my family is taking care of his little soul.

Rayen's POV:

My body feels like it's been enveloped in heat and I whine as it's too hot for me. I open my eyes seeing Melody and Anya cuddling me in a big pile. I giggle softly before I wiggle out of their hold. It's like a cocoon. They growl at me and cuddle closer. My bladder starts screaming at me. I whine making them growl again and their arms tightening round me. I keep squirming and I swat Mel's ass making her yelp in her sleep, but not enough for her to wake up and move.

"Guuuys I need to pee." I whine and lick their cheeks. They groan before releasing me and I jump up before running to the bathroom. Riptide meows sleepily as I quickly do my business before I wash my hands and do my normal hygiene morning routine.

I walk out and see them still sleeping. Riptide is laying at the bottom of the bed as the girls are spooning. My lips quirk up in a half smile before I see my skateboard leaning against the dresser. I quickly get dressed wearing a pair of black ripped up shorts, black crop top, and black platform heels. I shake my hair out letting the natural texture come out before I start putting on some light makeup. A small wing with highlight, red lip stain, and contour to help highlight my cheekbones. I put some pasties on, so my piercings don't catch on anything. I walk out and grab my phone which i don't remember putting on it's charger. I think Anya did it I shove my wallet into my back pocket before I grab my board. I look back at my girls before heading out. I go over to the caretakers house and knock on their door.

It swings open revealing a little girl with long box braids and bright blues she smiles, "Hiya Lady ray, do you need my momma or poppa?" She asks tilting her head curiously.

I smile and shake my head, "No, I just need you to send a message to my friend if they wake up and freak out that I'm not here. Just tell them I'm going into town." She nods before we say our goodbyes and I start boarding into town. I cheat and use the plants and trees around me to push me towards town. I close my eyes smiling softly as I haven't done this a while. I do some tricks and laugh joyfully as I start to see people watching me with soft smile. I have been through so much lately. I need to do this more often. Boarding around town see to give me such peace of mind. I only stopped when I realized that I was pregnant. Oh wow. That didn't hurt me that time. Is it because of my time in the In-Between? Yeah that's what I'm calling it. It's better than the Soul DMV. I push it away as I grind the fountain in the middle of the square. I feel a strange wash of emotions and power run over me. I land quickly before looking up. My eyes scan the square and nothing seems out of the ordinary. I relax and soak in the sun like the little plant that I am. (Insert inward chuckling here)

I see Elena's car driving towards the Lockwoods and I roll my eyes before I see Elijah. My eyes widen and before I know it my body is having us board after them. I stop when they get on property and I use my knowledge of the residence to climb through the back garden. I walk up and listen in on their conversation.

I watch as Elijah knocks on the door wearing a ratty suit. It had to be the one that he had on when the dinner party happened. My anger flares at the fact that they did that to this noble man. Carol opens it and I hear the surprise in her voice. "Elijah, Elena! What are you doing here? What happened?"

Elijah's smooth accented voice glides out, "I've had a bit of an incident, Carol. I'm hoping you could help." I raise my eyebrow as it is never that easy to get something outof hre unless you know something.

"Well, I'm on my way to a meeting, so I-" Carol hesitates slightly.

"It won't take but a minute of your time." His voice takes a hard edge to it. Meaning he compelled her. I wonder how he was able to wean her off of vervain.

"Of course. Anything you need." She says and I hear her heeled footsteps move aside.

"Thank you." Elijah says as the two of them enter her home and I go up to Ty's room. I climb up leaving my board underneath the bushes of roses. I look around his room and smile sadly when I see a picture board of all of our Halloweens together. I drag my nails over the latest one and smile still remembering him kissing my cheek when he dropped me off at home. I miss us like this Ty. I get shaken out of my thoughts with the conversation downstairs.

I peak my head out before I pull back cause Carol is coming up the stairs. "How did you know she's not on vervain?" I hear Elena ask and I roll my eyes. Do you really need an explanation for every little detail?

"'Cause I'm the one who got her off it. Right before you and your friends killed me. Twice. If you'll excuse me. I'll be down in a moment." He says in an obvious tone of voice and I hear his footsteps coming up the stairs. My eyes widen and I press against Ty's wall trying to calm my heartbeat, so he can't tell that I'm here. I hear his footfalls coming closer... then they stop. He takes a rather large intake of air. "Rayen? Why has your scent changed?"

I let out my breath and peek out to look at him, "I'm no longer carrying your nephew... werewolf venom when a wolf bit me." I rub my old baby bump and I still feel his little heartbeat with mine.

I look into his eyes and see a broken-hearted man, "Oh my gods, I am so sorry. Wait... nephew?" He comes closer and I smile.

"Yeah. I was going to name him after my father. I even got to see him when my ancestors pulled me in the In-Between last night after Bonnie's death. My parents are taking care of him and raising his little soul. They even said when he is ready for reincarnation then they'll make sure that he goes to a magical and safe family." My eyes betray me and my tears start falling. "Our eyes are the same. When he saw me he immediately recognized me, he didn't want to me let go or give him back to my parents, I- i love him so much, his little heartbeat is engrained in my memory." My right hand goes over my heart as I put my left hand on the wooden door frame and push the memory of his sleeping heartbeat into it. I look down to the ground as i feel his little hand on my chest again. That broke the damn. My tears falling to the ground before Elijah puts his hand on my chin and wipes my tears. "I'm sorry. Too many emotions I haven't been able to process it."

"Don't apologize for tears darling. Emotions are what make us mortal. I'm sorry that you lost so much in such little time." He pulls away and I wipe my tears. "You should probably hear what I'm going to tell Elena. Go make yourself something to eat. I know you remember where everything is." I nod and I walk down the stairs while I go into the kitchen and I start making some Frybread. I haven't had frybread in a long time. Before I put the dough into the oil I text the girls and tell them what has happened so far and I'll meet up with them after.

"Rayen? What are you doing here?" Elena's grating voice comes into the kitchen and I roll my eyes before I finish making frybread for myself.

"I saw you with an original that you helped get rid off and I got curious. It wasn't that hard to follow you." I tell her as I flip the dough and I turn to her. "Were you expecting me to make up a lie? I'm not you or the Scooby gang."

"Honestly I kinda was. Why didn't you tell anyone that you were dating Klaus?" She asks and I roll my eyes.

"Because I didn't know him as Klaus, the big bad Original vampire. I knew him as the man that loved me, a man that I killed werewolves when they tried to come after us during a full moon, a man that I helped grow his business and make it be able to last, and above all else... a man that chose me first. Not one that tried to settle for me because they couldn't get you." I say with all the honesty in my heart. "Not one that is fated to end up with someone because of reincarnation love cycles." I look at her as I continue cooking.

She looks down and before coming over to where I'm standing. I tense up slightly before I feel her arms wrapping around me. "I'm sorry. I haven't been a real good friend have I?" She asks and I roll my eyes before I gently take her arms off of me.

"No, this school year has been shit. I'm so glad that I'm done with that school till next year." I tell her and I go back to cooking. "Go back in the living room. I'll bring out the food when it's done." I keep cooking before I get a tea kettle and create some lavender/jasmine hybrid tea leaves with my vine. I put a kettle on the stove before I start cutting up the leaves when they're bloomed. I carefully in Carol's tea steeper's and get out one of her tea sets. The water sings before I turn off the heat and pour the water into the teapot. I put the steeper in before I look up to see Elijah standing there. "Can you help me the frybread is done and the tea is steeping."

"You get the frybread and I'll bring the tea." He says and I nod my head before I gather the food.

"The DID is in the living room." I tell him while we walk to it seeing Elena being all nervous. I roll my eyes before we set the stuff on the coffee table. I just noticed as we sit down that he is wearing one of Mayor Lockwood's old suits. One of the ones where I threw up on his dress when he tried yelling at Ty when we were younger cause he wasn't mingling with adults. Instead he and I were outside watching the stars.

"So I assume that the Martin witches are no longer with us." Elijah asks as he pours us tea and I look at Elena.

"No. I'm sorry." I roll my eyes as I go back to the kitchen and get cream and sugar. I come back and Elijah nods softly at me.

"I'm sorry that his son died. He was being manipulated he just wanted to see his sister. Though I do have to say she is a good witch and she found love." I say as I stir some sugar into my tea.

Elijah's face turns hard slightly, "And Katerina? She would have been released from my compulsion when I died."

Elena looks genuinely sorry, "Klaus took her. We think that she may be dead."

I scoff and roll my eyes, "I gave him plenty of ideas for when people betray him. I wasn't called Kore in his inner circle for no reason."

Elijah nods, "I doubt that. Not Klaus' style. Death would be too easy for her after what she did."

Her eyes are confused, "I don't understand. You say that you want Klaus dead, but you still made Katherine pay for betraying him." I raise my eyebrow as I tilt my head seeing betrayal in his eyes. Did he get betrayed or broken-hearted?

Elijah says as he starts making his tea, "I have my own reasons for wanting Katerina to pay. There was a time..." He smiles softly as if remembering a simpler time. "I'd have done anything for Klaus. Yes. Klaus is my brother."

"I heard that. I'm still processing."

"Yes, I'm a little behind on the times, but I believe the term you're searching for is 'O.M.G.' " He drinks some tea and I bust out laughing. I almost fall off the chair and I see them just staring at me.

I look at Elena as I wipe my face just incase I cried, "I thought you knew! OMG in lack of better words. How can you not make that connection?" I stand up and create a small little tree. "Niklaus and Elijah. Both big baddies of the supernatural world. Both named Originals... How can you not see that Elena?" I see Elena glaring at me and Elijah smirking trying not to laugh.

"Anyways, that means there's a whole family of Originals?"

"My father was a wealthy land owner in a village in Eastern Europe. Our mother bore seven children." Elijah stands up and fixes his shirt in the mirror.

"So your parents were human?" She stands up and I roll my eyes.

"Our whole family was. Our origin as vampires is a very long story, Elena. Just know...We're the oldest vampires in the world. We are the Original family, and from us all vampires were created."

"Right, but Klaus is your brother. And you want him dead?" I look at Elijah if only he knew I could feel that same type of dagger around Ni-Klaus and I during our time together.

"I need some air. I'm still feeling a tad...dead. Come." Elijah and Elena leave the room. "Help me clean this up. Before we get some air."

I stand up and go to stop them, "No I can clean this up..."

"No. You prepared this. It would be poor manners to have you clean this up." He says and I pout knowing I wouldn't be able to win. He and Elena gather the items and start cleaning everything before we go outside. I grab my skateboard.

"So as you've seen, nothing can kill an Original. Not Sun, not fire, not even a werewolf bite. Only the wood from one tree. A tree my family made sure burned." Elijah says while we walk down the steps in the backyard and I nod the Erasure black gone. It's nice to hear the story from someone else.

"That's where the white ash for the dagger comes from." She says obviously.

"How is that not obvious?" I say as Elijah rolls his eyes subtly.

"Yes. The witches won't allow anything truly immortal to walk the earth. Every creature needs to have a weakness in order to maintain the balance."

"So the Sun can't kill an Original. Why is Klaus so obsessed with breaking the Sun and Moon curse?" Elena asks tilting her head.

"Right. The curse of the sun and the moon. It's all so...biblical-sounding, don't you think?"He smiles and he and I start laughing as it clicks in my head.

"What's so funny?" She asks and he and I look at one another.

"It doesn't exist." He starts walking away and I catch up with him while Elena scoffs in disbelief.

"What?" She asks as she follows us.

I hear my laugh echoing, "Wait, wait, wait... are you telling me you got lazy trying to o find the pieces that you got drunk and created a legend in different languages." He looks down at me. We're in Germany and in an amazing mansion as we have finished christening the grounds. He moves my bangs out of my eyes and smiles.

"I did not get lazy. I thought it was brilliant." He pouts and I smile softly as I sit up and move to straddle him. His eyes growing darker as he cups and caresses my naked breasts. I swear they've gotten bigger, but I doubt it.

"Aww it was lazy brilliance." I tease as he moves and pins me down.

"Lazy Brilliance?" He asks before He starts kissing my neck.

I blush as I shake away that... hehehe oof moment. I lick my lips and I see Elijah tilting his head towards me. I shake my head and try to calm the blush that I know is on my face. I look away as he starts to talk, "Klaus and I faked the sun and moon curse dating back over a thousand years."

"But if there's no curse..."

Elijah and I butt in, I wave him to continue, "There's a curse. Just not that one. The real one's much worse. It's a curse placed on Klaus."

"What are you talking about?"

"Klaus has been trying to break it for the last thousand years. And you are his only hope." I look at her and roll my eyes. Before I hear Elena's phone keeps vibrating in Elijah's pocket.

"What is this curse?" She asks as the phone is still vibrating.

"Your phone will not stop its incessant buzzing. Answer it, please." He gives her the phone. She answers.

"Stefan...what's wrong? No. No, no, no, no. Okay, I'll be right there." She hangs up and looks at Elijah. I tit my head.

"Klaus went after Jenna. I have to go to her." She looks worried.

"This is why I tell my loved ones everything." I say under my breath and she glares at me.

"I'm afraid that wasn't part of today's arrangement."

"She's my family, Elijah. I have to. I'll be back. You have my word."

Elijah rolls his eyes, "That doesn't mean anything to me until you live up to it."

"If she doesn't come back in a reasonable time, I'll go get her." I say and they both nod. Surprisingly they both agree with me.

"Thank you." She runs to her car. Elijah looks as she runs and I roll my eyes.

"Now tell me... Did you fall in love with Katerina? Or was I imagining the emotion in your eyes when you were talking about her betraying Nicklaus?" I cross my eyes as I hold my board to my chest. He flicks his head towards me and his eyes widen slightly. His cheeks flushing slightly.

He starts stuttering, "I-I how how did-"

I roll my eyes before I walk across the little bridge and weave some roots into it. Strengthening it and making sure it lasts. "It's easy if you know what to look for." I smirk and he rubs his hand over his face. I follow him up to the little pond and watch the water.

"So are you going to tell my brother that you're still in love with him and you remember everything that happened?"

Meanwhile...

Elena drives up to the boarding house and quickly rushes in. She sees that Jenna is waiting in the library on the couch. Her eyes are teary. Elena walks in looking relieved and Jennalooks at her confused and in fear.

Elena gets closer, "Oh, Jenna, thank God."

"No." Jenna says with tears threatening to fall as she backs into the couch.

"I'm so sorry. I never meant for any of this to happen." Elena backs up a little.

"When I was little, your mom used to tell me bedtime stories. Stories about vampires. I never thought that what she said could be true."

"It is true, Jenna. I should have told you." She sits down on the chair in front of the couch. "I thought that if you didn't know, you'd be safe. But then things got so out of control and everything I had done to keep you out of it, it just blew up in my face."

Jenna's face hardens, "Who else knows? Jeremy?" Elena nods. "John?"

"We were just trying to protect you."

"Protect me?"Her tone hardens as if she was hurt by those words.

Elena's tears start building in her eyes, "I'm so sorry. I will tell you everything."

"No, Elena...I am the one who's supposed to be protecting you and Jeremy."

"I know, but there's nothing that you could have done. There's so much more to it..."

"No, this is- this is so...I don't know how...it's..." She starts crying as Elena takes her hand.

"I know, hey."

Jenna's head snaps up to her nieces' face as her tears are slowly falling down her face, "Why didn't you tell me?! I'm scared." Elena moves to sit down next to her and embraces her.

"I know. I know. I know, hey. Hey. I'm sorry. Jenna, I am so, so sorry." Stefan is in the corridor, listening to them as the girls cry out their frustration. He has tears in his eyes... his heart clenching as he misses his nephew and his best friend. If he can even call Rayen that anymore. She didn't even tell him that she got a new hair color.

Later that same day still in the Boarding house, Elena closes a door she just came out of. Stefan is there and turns around.

"Is she gonna be okay?" He asks concerned for his girlfriends' aunt.

She nods and puts her hands in her pockets, "She's in shock. I tried to tell her as much as I could, but I barely scratched the surface."

"I'm so sorry, Elena. I hate this."

Elena finally swallows her pride and admits, "It's not your fault, Stefan. It's mine. Anyway...I have to go back to Elijah."

"Wait, what? No, no!" He catches her arm as she walks a little past him making her turn around.

"Stefan, I promised him that I would return. I can't break that promise and Rayen is probably looking down the clock. She told him that if i didn't come back in a reasonable time she would come after me."

"Oh yeah." Stefan nods knowing that Ray does keep her promises.

"I'll be okay." She goes to the front door, but both Damon and Andie are walking toward her.

Damons asks as he jogs normally towards her, "Where do you think you're going?"

"Back to Elijah."

He blurs in front of her, "No."

"Get out of my way, Dam..." He grabs her arm.

"If you so much as try and take a step out of this house..."

Andre tries to calm him down, "Damon, easy."

"Stay out of this, Andie." Damon warns his girlfriend.

"Let her go." Stefan says as he looks at his brother.

"Are you kidding me? We just got her back." Stefan blurs over and grabs his arm.

"You heard me. I said let her go." He glares at his elder brother and Damons' eyes goes deathly hard. Elena inwardly smirks at how the brothers are acting.

"That's twice today you've stood in my way. I wouldn't try a third." Damon threatens as the wood around them starts creaking.

Rayen's POV:

I finally escape from Elijah's words of wisdom and notice it's been a while since Elena left, "Hey Elijah, I'm going to the boarding house to go pick her up. I'll be back. I'll bring her to the house." He nods and I go to a tree that's near me. I take a deep breath and picture the Boarding house. I smirk as I slide my hands through the tree and let it swallow me before letting it spit me out at the Boarding house.

I roll my shoulders and put my hand on the doorframe since it spit my out in the reading room. I find Elena and she's not alone. I hear Damon, "Stay out of this, Andie." He must be warning his girlfriend.

"Let her go." Stefan voice says.

"Are you kidding me? We just got her back." Damn sounds astonished as if he is shocked by the idea and I hear Stefan blurring over to him.

"You heard me. I said let her go." My eyebrows lift as his voice is surprisingly hard and trying to be stern.

"That's twice today you've stood in my way. I wouldn't try a third." Damon starts threatening and I roll my eyes before I slip into the wood again making the wood around them starts creaking.

I come out and smirk as their faces as are all in shock. "I thought I said I would come get you if it was too long Elena? Or did you not believe me?" I ask as I see a smirk leaving her face and she walks over to me. I look at the brothers and they have ranging emotions on their faces.

"When did you become a delivery girl... Lady Rayen?" Andie asks and I turn my head towards her before snapping my arm out and wrapping my vine around her throat. Not aiming to kill just holding it tightly.

"You do not get to question me. I am a women of my word and my word was bound to Elijah. Think of me as a Demon. Whomever summons me and I bound my word to them not matter the time limit I will keep. It's a matter of honor and if you don't keep your word... why should anyone trust you." I say as the boys have the audacity to nod. "Keep that in mind when I say this..." I walk closer to her tightening the vine as I do and I pull her down to my level getting close to her ear. "If you speak a word of my powers or my role in the supernatural world... I will find the eldest and thickest tree and submerge you in it alive until I see if that that your words shall be trusted again." I release her and grab Elena's arm before having the wood travel us back to the house.

We walk in and I make her stumble as she isn't used to wood travel. We both smell the fire and we walk into the parlor again. We see Elijah's just standing inside by the lit fireplace. He seems relieved that Elena kept her promise to return and I smirk.

"Welcome back you two. It's nice to know on of you can be trusted to their word." He looks at Elena.

"It wasn't her fault Damon tried to get her to stay while Stefan was trying to trust her. I was there as reinforcement." I say and he nods.

"Tell me. What is Klaus's curse?" She takes off her jacket and I glare at her before she puts it on the coat hanger.

"Please." Elijah gestures for the two of us to sit and we do. He sits down next to her since I chose to sit closer to the fireplace. "My family was quite close, but Klaus and my father did not get on too well. When we became vampires, we discovered the truth. Klaus was not my father's son. My mother had been unfaithful many years before. This was her darkest secret. Klaus is from a different bloodline. Of course, when my father discovered this, he hunted down and he killed my mother's lover and his entire family. Not realizing, of course, that he was igniting a war between species that rages until this day." I watch as he retells his little brothers' biggest secret... well besides his time with me.

"A war between the species?" She looks confused and I roll my eyes. It was so obvious.

I look at her, "Seriously? The vampire species and the werewolves. How hard is that?" I ask and Elijah nods towards me.

She ignores me, "So Klaus' real father was from a werewolf bloodline? What does that make Klaus? A werewolf? Or a vampire?"

Elijah and I in unison say, "He's both." He looks amused and I wave him forward to continue, "A hybrid would be deadlier than any werewolf or vampire. Nature would not stand for such an imbalance of power. Therefore the witches, the servants of nature, saw to it that my brother's werewolf side would become dormant."

"That's the curse that Klaus wants to break?" She asks and I roll my eyes. HWy does she have to ask such stupid questions. It's fucking obvious that's what he want to do.

"He wants to trigger that part of him that's a werewolf. If allowed, Klaus would sire his own bloodline. He'd build his own race. Endangering not just vampires, but everyone." I inwardly roll my eyes. That's not what he wanted. He told me he wanted a family. One that would stay by his side and love him unconditionally.

"But you helped him?"

"I helped him because I loved him. That's changed, now he must die." My heart clenches as he says that and I feel my heart start beating faster.

"We have the dagger now. We can stop him." She says as she is not in an obvious tone of voice.

"When a werewolf is wounded by silver, it heals. An Original can't be killed by anything but white oak ash on a silver dagger. So you see the conundrum. The dagger does not work."

"What, are you saying that Klaus can't be killed?" She says as she crosses her arms.

"There's one way to kill any supernatural species...at the hands of the servants of nature themselves."

"A witch. If they can channel that much power. But it would kill them." I say before Elena can and she glares at me forgetting I was there probably.

"The curse must be broken during the full moon. When Klaus is in transition. That's when he'll be at his most vulnerable. A witch with enough power...can kill Klaus." My heart clenches painfully again to the point of me rubbing my chest.

"What if I told you that I knew a witch that could channel that much power?" Elena says and my head snaps to look at her. I stand up my anger ready to spill over as it seems like they lied to me. Again.

"Then I would tell you there's one more thing that you should know." He takes a deep breath and he walks over to me putting a hand on my shoulder, so I don't snap. "I have a way to save you both."

"You found a way to save the life of the doppelgänger?" I look at him and he nods making the pain in my chest subside slightly.

"Yes, Elena. I did." He moves away from her and gets her jacket. "But unfortunately, Katerina took matters into her own hands first. I believe you already know how that played out."

"You cared about her, didn't you?"

"It's a common mistake, I'm told. And it's one I won't make again." He gives her her jacket and leaves us. I watch him leave and Elena and I look at one another.

"I'm going to take it... no matter what you decide. I'm not going to die being used as a battery." I tell her and I lean against the doorframe.

"How could you be so okay with this?" She asks and I look up at her. "How could be okay with Klaus... the father of your baby doing this?"

I smile sadly as I look up at her, "Remember how I was before the incident with Armando at the beginning of the year? How I was confident but I always held back?"

She nods, "Yeah..."

"My powers were bound until that night... I went back when I got back from Europe... the blood I spilled that night it helped my powers activate. The coma cultivated them and I felt so much better and even more powerful than I felt before." I tilt my head back and smile.

"You didn't have them all your life?" She look at me and tilts her head.

I shake my head, "No, I was a caregiver ever since mom went into the coma cause of the accident... I was a business women at the age of 16... I was assaulted because a man thought he had the right because I denied him... Then I was thrust into a supernatural world where I have people who fear me because I can do more than they can do." I smile as I push my hair away from my face.

"But wha-"

I snap my head up to her, "I fell in love with someone who wasn't in love with you. I wasn't anyone's second choice for once in my life. Not even when Katherine was our only threat and Stefan came to me and made out with me. I didn't act on it even though I wanted to. Now think about that before you and the Scooby Gang get the bright idea to leave me out of plans and have me cry over nothing." I say with a smirk. Her face red with anger, "Now Elijah thank you for the history lesson again and the advice. But I'm going back to my girls cause I think it's time for some alone time with them. They don't lie to me."

I lean back and let the wood envelope me before spitting me back at my home with my board right behind me. Melody comes barreling into me and Anya looks over my body for any injuries. "Are you okay? Damon called saying that you were with Elijah."

"Yeah I was. I was listening to his version of their history of the 'Sun and Moon' curse." I say with smirk as Anya looks at me and we walk to the house. "I think it's time for a ride around the town. The horses need to stretch their legs." We head inside and get into more appropriate clothes for horseback riding. I keep my top and change into a pair of fitted blue jeans and Melody and Anya take a page out of my book. The two of them wearing crop tops in their respective colors, a pair of jeans, and heels. I'm not even going to bring up the fact that they have hickies and love bites (Nonvampiric) on their necks or boobs. I'm just glad that Melody found someone to be with. Especially after her last relationship. I'm just glad that Karma found him and dealt him his hand. It took so long to rebuild my little introvert cousin's confidence.

We head to the barn and brush them before checking their shoes. I need to call the farrier tomorrow morning so we can set an appointment for them. We then start saddling them up. I easily climb up and settle my butt into the saddle. "Everyone ready?" I ask with a smile and I watch as Melody gets some help before Anya easily jumps up.

"Ready." They say and I smirk as we start riding out of the barn towards the edge of the property. I smile as we start riding towards town the horses getting excited as they have never been off property. I gently pat Zagreus's neck as I can sense him tensing up. He's never been out of the property.

"It's okay honey. It's okay." I say softly as we go into the woods and we easily trot through the woods and I wave my hands moving the trees and fallen trees so we don't hurt ourselves or our horses.

"It feels so great! We have't done this in such a long time!" Melody yells happily. I smile as the girls laugh behind me and it makes my heart puff up slightly. I close my eyes and let my boy guide me through the forest. The air keeps pushing my hair away from my face and I let out the loudest native ululating that I have in while. I hear Melody doing it in unison and Anya just howling as we ride. My body suddenly freezes over as a cold death like shiver rolls through my body making me clench my thighs. I stop him and see that we're at the falls. Where I was assaulted. I see the flowers growing in a weird pattern and I shudder. I push past the memories before I wave my hand it glowing slightly. My powers making the flowers grow and wrap the trees.

"Is this where it happened?" Melody asks as she rides up next to me.

"Yeah. My blood being silt on this ground sparked my birthright. My birthright being sparked by a man trying to take something that wasn't his." I say as I dismount and walk towards where I was sitting. I look out over the falls and the rushing water. I close my eyes and I start to feel all of the hits he put on me. My body shaking as my anger, fear, sadness, and anxiety bubbling up in me. I let out a high pitched scream filled with all of my emotions and my memories. Along with my scream, Melody, and Anya start screaming with me. Once we stop we pant and I look at them and we smile at one another.

"Feel better?" Anya asks with a hoarse voice and I nod. My throat is so sore now. "Let's go get some tea to help our throats." I nod and we remount the horses. We start heading into town and I swear that I see Klaus. My heart skips a beats as I see his eyes. His beautiful baby blues. I blush before I blink and he's gone before I go back to getting tea with the girls.

Elijahs words come back to me, " 'Love is love. If it's true never let it slip out of your grasp. It may need a break but soulmates are forever. And forever is such along time.' "

I hate to admit it even though he has tried to kill my friends and lied to me. (Maybe) I hate to say it but I am in love with the Big Bad Hybrid. I have been since our first meeting.

The screaming at the bottom is mainly because I have a trend on tiktok playing in my head. On repeat. Not fun. But I hope you enjoy it. I do have a tiktok it's queen_kore96 and please if you have a TT then shoot me a like on my latest video or hell follow me there as well.

Would you guys want me to make a playlist on TT or YouTube to listen to when reading this or what?
