Ok so just in case you didn't know, Sylphat said the last line while stealing Klaus' 'Love'. Also I'm kind of surprised and happy to see that my story is actually getting views. I've never been sure of my writing before but this has been a good confidence boost. Shout out to ArtemisLuna85 for my first review and Charmed2100 for following. And the last thing I want to say is there is going to be a major change in events since Sylphat has joined and people who should be dead are alive. Now onto the story.
Chapter 3-
Finn, Elijah, Klaus, Kol and Rebekah. The Mikaelsons all reunited. Shocked to see their family awake and fed, Elijah had sped down to them while Klaus only had the courage to walk down to the last step. Kara came to stand by me assessing my throat but the bruises were already healing.
Her eyes looked like they wanted to ask but I shook my head. "I have everything under control."
She leaned down closer to my ear whispering even too low for the vampires to hear. "How can you make the stay? The deal is technically done, Syl. He will call on you."
"He already is." I whispered back. Right now I just watched them watching eachother. Finn was the most reserved with the closest eye on Klaus (Can't blame him) and Elijah just looked at the all like he couldn't believe it. Niklaus was so much more unsure of himself. His family which he had daggered because he was too selfish to let go but who was I to judge. I was just as selfish. None of them made the first move to each other. Not Elijah who had wanted them back in the first place or Rebekah who had been the closest and most loyal to Niklaus. I was most surprised by Kol since he was the only one with his eyes on me, watching the true unknown in the room. How should I feel having the full intense stare of someone so violent. They say I shouldn't crave it but I do. They say I shouldn't want him but I do. I want his attention to always be on me, only me.
I guess I would have to be the one to speak since I was responsible for this situation. "Mikaelsons, I know that you all probably have a lot to catch up on but first I have something to offer you that you may want."
"She frees us and now gives gifts? Smart." Kol laughed.
"Most certainly. Now would you like to hear the offer or stare fish eyes at each other. I really hope you pick the former cause this is making it very awkward for me and the K's." It wasn't, I just liked to agitate.
"What offer is good enough to keep you alive after you've stolen from me?" Klaus growled.
"I was wondering how we ended up here and with an un-daggered Finn. I think I like you a little more now…"
"Sylphat. Sylphat Boudreaux." I offered.
From my view I could see Rebekah raise an eyebrow at my name."Sylphat? What mother names her child Sylphat."
"No mother, I chose it." Was it weird to have given myself my name? "Now for my offer."
"Is it something actually worth our while Ms. Boudreaux or are you trying to save your head?" Elijah threatened conversationally.
"I think offering you Mikaels head would do more than save my head."
The room went quiet as the air stilled around us. All eyes were on me and Kyle even began moving toward my side no longer afraid of a surprise attack from the originals.
Elijah took the lead as I saw him do millions of times. "And how would you accomplish that?"
I gestured to the table for us all to sit. I sat at the head, Kara and Kyle on my right and left respectively, and Klaus took the other end. "Last night I had been following you. The ritual for you to become a hybrid? I saw it all, even the sappy Salvatore and doppelganger." I managed to keep the jealousy out of my voice so thank the gods for small miracles. "But I did change a few things. From when I used to see the ritual, Jenna and John would die giving the scooby gang even more of a vendetta against you and making your family their target. By preserving what remained of her family I had thought to prevent that." I rubbed my temples trying to keep the soon coming headache at bay. He was getting closer.
"Why?" I looked up to meet Finn's gaze. "Why try and save us?"
"Because I made a deal with someone that made your lives my responsibility. Well really only the males but since you care so much for your sister I am doing that out of courtesy."
"Harlot." She snided.
"I'm sure you've had more lovers than me so really who's the harlot?" If you learned only one thing about me from this, know that I always gave as good as I got. I returned focus back to the matter at hand and not trying to insult the vindictive blonde. "But since I made that deal I am responsible for your lives in my own way and The biggest threat to your lives at the moment is Miakel. And it seems that it worked but some people like making my job more difficult. Isn't that right Zeph?"
A chuckle so dark it was evil permeated the room as Zeph walked in shining like the first golden light with power in every step. The fucker had even copied my look a bit with his own long sleeved button up, brown dress pants and dark brown loafers. At least his hair was loose around the shoulders and not in the unappealing ponytail that idiots, I mean absent minded people, fell for.
"You can tone down the Glow, nobody here can go permanently blind by the shine of the gods." I reminded him.
He pouted as if he were a child. "How I miss those days." He sighed wistfully.
"How I am happy to not have been born then." I mumbled. The golden fool thought it would be nice to stand by me as he looked down his nose at my Miakelsons and Rebekah.
"So this is them?" He eyed them. "They're not much."
"Compared to what?"
"To me." He smiled.
"Of course but it sounds to me like you are jealous. I thought it was your wife who was the jealous one." This time he glared at me and I relished in his displeasure. He was the biggest ass and predator I had ever known and If tomorrow I get my hands on the weapon cable of killing him I would take my pleasure in his slow death. The originals around me were tense, Kara frozen in fear and Kyle a second from passing out. If it was my deep hatred that kept me from being affected like them I would hold it close.
"Hera is much too busy to be jealous these days. Years of marriage and we have finally developed an understanding."
I rolled my eyes. "Since when was imprisonment and understanding?"
The air around me started being electrified. I guess he was known for his quick temper. "Watch your mouth harpy."
"Then stay out of my business. We had an agreement and setting Miakel free wasnt part of it." I told him with barely controlled anger.
"It was a debt not an agreement. And why would I make it so easy on you Agapité mou Sylphat? Aren't the best things in life the ones you have to work for?"
"I would rather work with them." I looked at the people at my table again. It was weird that they hadn't tried to attack him, especially Klaus, or tried to speak until I realized they couldn't. That's why they've been so silent.. "A petrification spell. Really?"
He shrugged. "I only like it when we talk."
"There's nothing else to talk about Zeph. Release them all and leave me to my tasks that you've now made 100 times more difficult." Barely had the words out my mouth before Zeph had his hand gripping face and keeping my eyes on him.
"You do not dismiss me Sylphat. Ever. These men you've only known a few hours have given you more courage than I like. Maybe I should see just how well you can protect them and then I will call in what you owe. So choose. Choose who will stay with you until you find the rest."
Cruel. Cruel was all he had ever been but I had fallen for the fake benevolence he had shown me. Giving me the only thighs to pull me from incubation just to take them away when I've found them. I couldn't. I can't choose. I shouldn't have to but if I didnt he would just make it even more hard on all of us. Which Miakelson would I have help me find them and keep us together? Would the rest even have the strength to survive him? I almost had not. But I knew one of them could no longer go through his brand of torture. It was a hard decision but it was right in my mind even if my heart disagreed.
"Finn. Finn will help me."
I had never seen a God look so evil before him. Disgusting. Disgraceful. The smile he gave me was wicked. It was a lie.
"Excellent. Let the games begin, Sylphat."
In a flash of blinding yellow light they were all gone, leaving just me and a Vampire who had just woken up.
I sent a quick prayer to the winds, my only comfort during my dark days, 'Cousins if you hear me, please keep safe. Please lead the way so that I may have them here with me again.'
