Special Note.
Warning but this chapter will contain violence and killing. I hope you enjoyed this thrilling chapter and I hope you all are safe and taking care of yourself. So without any further delay, here you go.
Far away from New Orleans, they arrived Mountain slopes of Alaska. After taking a long flight they hired a car to drive even further until they reached near the coast.
Unlike Marcel and Freya Bonnie was shivering as she felt the icy wind on her skin. "How far we have to go?"
"We need to take Ferry or speed boat to reach the Aleutian Islands," Marcel informed them.
He was about to go and hire one when Freya held his arms. "Don't worry, our transportation arrangements have been made for us."
"By who?" Bonnie ask and in answer Freya smile as she glances behind them.
Both turned to look and to their surprise, they saw Elijah standing with Fin, Kol and Rebekah."
"You can join us now," Freya told them with a smile. "There is no need for you to follow us in the shadows."
Out of everyone, Elijah looked more curious as he asks. "You knew we were following your trail didn't you?"
Freya nods her head as she informed them. "I knew you guys won't let us go for this quest alone. In fact, I wanted you to follow us but I didn't want to involve Klaus by asking you guys."
Rebekah stares at her suspiciously as she asks. "Why not? Klaus may come out as the most bull-headed person but he can prevail in any dangerous circumstances."
Her eyes fell on Marcel who quickly averted his eyes as he told Elijah. "I think Klaus is the last person we needed right now to help us in this mission."
"And why is that?" It was Kol who inquired with great interest.
"Come with us, I will explain everything when we reached there," Freya told her siblings and after a while, Elijah nodded his head as he said. "Follow me, my boat is stealthy enough for this journey."
He led them towards his boat and Marcel was impressed by this beauty. "Nice."
One by one they hopped in and out of old habit, Marcel offers his hand to Rebekah who first looked shocked but then gave him a teasing smile. "Great to know you still remember your manners."
He huffed but followed after her and soon Elijah started the boat. "We need to go to the tenth island," Freya told him and he sailed his boat under her instructions.
It took them two hours but by the time sunset and night grew darker they could see chains of islands that are mostly known as silent volcanoes surrounded by dark waters.
"There are about two hundred vampires guarding this island," Freya whispered as she raised her palm and a stars shoot out in the sky as they made a curve shape. "Sail this thing around the curve end of Island." She instructs Elijah who looked baffled as stars quickly arranged themselves in their former position.
Just like us, he was quite mystified by his sister's ability as he sailed towards the curve part of the island.
Once we reached there Freya asks him to stop at the rocky edge but the moment Kol tried to climb outside she stopped us. "Wait! We can't step on this island yet!"
She then stared at Bonnie who for a second looked startled but then her face changed into concentrating expression before she nodded her head.
It was then Freya stared at Fin, Rebekah and Kol. "There is centuries worth of power running in your blood and that's why Bonnie and I need you three to allow us to channel part of your power so we can cast a sleeping spell on these guards."
Marcel can see they were hesitating but Freya carried on. "There are hundreds of vampires on this island that we can't overcome if we engage in confrontation."
"Plus we need to be stealthy because no one can know what happened here after we leave this place," Bonnie added as she tried to explain their reasons.
It was Kol who finally asks questions in his suspicious tone. "Look you are remarkable witch but combine with our power you can do much more than casting a sleeping spell. so please can you tell us why you need so much power?"
Once again Freya and Bonnie shared a look and then they stared at Marcel who nodded his head. "They need this much power to contain Lucian King." Marcel finally told them and just as he expects all Originals looked shocked.
"Lucian!? Fin gasp in disbelief. "You mean the first human that Nicklaus turned?"
"Yes, the very human who started Originals sire line when our brother turned him into a Vampire and now he is creating means to not only destroy his sire including you all but he also wants to create a spice that can even surpass you all in its power," Freya revealed everything and now they waited for them to make their decision.
Finally, it was Rebekah who held out her hands. "I am ready."
Freya and Bonnie smile as one by one Fin and Kol laid their hands on top of Rebekah.
"This will hurt," Freya warned them but when no one took their hands away she and Bonnie both grabbed their hands.
They tried best to not scream but their screams mingle with crash off waves and a few minutes later all three of them fell unconscious.
Freya then cast an invisible spell over all of them before she and Bonnie joined hands as they begin to chant a sleeping spell.
A silvery mist surrounded the island and hour later both Witches dropped their hands and Bonnie collapse as her nose starts bleeding.
"Here take this." Elijah offers his handkerchief."
"Thanks." She told him weakly as she wiped her nose clean.
Freya then sat beside her and put her hand on Bonnie's forehead. For a second her hand glow but when she pulled away Bonnie seems quite energetic. "Wow! You and Hope really know these cool stuff with magic."
"Cool? Did I made you cold?" Freya asks in confusion and Marcel laughed at her lack of language knowledge. "She is complimenting you in this era's language."
She smiled in understanding as she says. "Very well, let me show you more cool magic."
With that, they finally start climbing on the island.
##########
It took them a while but finally, they found the exact spot where wilderness starts thinning as a few stories building came into view that was situated right in the middle of the island.
"Its seems your spell worked," Marcel informed both witches as he can see many vampires unconscious on the ground.
He was about to move but Elijah held his arms as he tilted his head. "I can hear movement inside the building."
Both men turned to stare at witches as Freya replied. "Seven most powerful dark witches are residing inside this place to shield it from any dangers and that's why I need you and Marcel to overpower any hurdles we face in there."
"What kind of hurdles are we talking about if you two can't overcome it with your powers?" Elijah asks with the most incredulous look on his face that Marcel has ever seen on this calm man.
Freya and Bonnie both hesitated so it was Marcel who answered him. "Lucian's dangerous experiment is also inside guarding this place with those witches and it will be up to you and me to overcome those monsters."
With that four of them start walking towards the building. With a wave of a hand, a door burst open and they all walked inside.
It was a maze of dark corridors but Marcel and Elijah can see everything clearly due to their abilities.
"I can't see a thing," Bonnie complain and she wished to bring candles or torchlight.
"Incendia!" Freya's voice echo as both her palm burst in flames.
"Freya your hands are burning," Marcel yelled as he tries to take his coat off to help her but she stopped him. "Its okay Marcel, this fire will not hurt me."
At her assurance, they continue walking ahead.
For a while, they walked into this eerily silent corridor when suddenly. "Ahhh!" Marcel and Elijah collapse on their knees as they clutched their heads which was suffering in agony.
"You shouldn't have come here." A voice spoke to them and Freya saw seven hooded witches in front of her.
"What should we do?!" Bonnie yelled as she watched Marcel and Elijah in terrible pain.
"We will fight them," Freya replied and then the flames in her hands turned into a flaming ball which she hit straight at the one who was sneering at her.
Before anyone could react that witch was engulfed in flames.
"Aha!" That witch companion moved away as they watch her burned in front of her.
The fight broke out as curses were shot from both sides while Marcel and Elijah tried to breath in relief because they were returning to normal.
"Give me your hand Bonnie." Freya scream and both witches joined their hands together while raising their palm on the rest of their attackers.
A burst of flames shot out from each of their hand and together they burned remaining six of the witches.
Elijah has seen many things in his life but never he saw a witch killing her own kind like this.
Apparently Bonnie seems to share his opinion because young witch burst into tears. "We killed them! Why did we need to kill them?!"
She screams at Freya who stares at her with an emotionless expression. "I understand your guilt young one but you need to understand that in our world when it comes down to fight then it's either winning or death because anything in middle will be far worse than death itself."
She then stares at three of them as she warned them. "Remember we are doing this for our family and our future so if any of you can't handle what is about to come then that person can leave."
All three of them stare at each other but when neither one left Freya nods her head in approval. "Very well, Elijah, Marcel can you listen to any more movement?"
They both concentrate and they can hear voices from the right side of corridors. "There." Elijah pointed and he thought for a second that his sister will choose left corridor but once again she surprised them as she walked towards the right corridor right where unknown dangers were waiting for them.
Soon they came face to face with a live size vault and now they can clearly hear screams from inside this vault. "This is it!" Freya touched the lock and it automatically starts unlocking itself.
"Elijah, Marcel whatever you encounter inside it is extremely powerful but they are mindless and not extremely fast so you both need to be quick and either tear their heart or chopped their heads but no matter what you do don't let them bit you."
While Marcel gulped in a little bit of fear Elijah's face remains impassive as he asks. "Anything else?"
"Signal us when all this is over and no matter what happens I want Lucian alive."
They both nodded their hands and with a wave of their hands the door open and they went inside.
About fifty of a bulky man stood in front of them, they had vines all over their pale faces and their eyes were blood red and they were constantly growling at them as a great amount of drool spilt from their mouths.
Both Elijah and Marcel were shaken as they watched these strange beings but what stood out most on their ghastly appearance was four fangs peaking from their open mouth.
Behind them, they can see Lucian on a raised platform as he smirks at them. "Elijah and their family pet. It's so lovely to see you. How is my sire huh? Does Klaus send his Lapdogs to get me because he finally found out the weapon I am creating against him and his precious family?!"
He was clearly mocking them as those men looked at them with murderous red eyes.
"Are you sure we can't kill him." Elijah inquiries as he casually takes off his suit jacket and neatly folds his sleeves. "No, they need him alive for something."
He merely rolled his eyes and then zoomed past him and in seconds ripped two of Lucian creatures hearts.
Once again a fight began and while they were strong but they were an indiscipline crossbreed of vampires with something else.
As Marcel killed four of these creatures he could clearly call them vampire zombies because they were constantly trying to bit him.
It was hard but Elijah and Marcel used all of their strength to fight these mindless yet powerful creatures.
By the time Elijah chopped last creature head Lucian was fuming in anger preparing to leave.
"Not so fast!" Bonnie scream at him as she and Freya overpowered this vampire who starts withering in pain.
"Kill me if you want but I won't let you destroy my serum!" He managed to spat these words and Freya smiled as she lifts her spell and kneels down in front of him.
"Destroy, on the contrary, I brought all the missing ingredients that you will need to complete your serum."
Lucian stares at this crazy women. "You want to help me?"
She then stood up and raised her palm and like puppet Lucian was forced to stand on his feet as she told him in a clear dangerous voice.
"Everything that will happen from now on is to help my family."
With that, she and others start walking towards the stairs where they saw some kind of chemical lab.
There they can see fourteen men locked in some kind of tube as the tube was stuck inside their mouths.
"Werewolves!" Elijah gasp as he stares at their horrifying conditions.
"According to my future- self These poor beings are braindead, this vile man collected each werewolf from fourteen original werewolf families."
"But why?" Elijah asks and then he realized. "Those creatures downstairs?!"
"His failed attempt to create extraordinary Originals! Someone that can overpower anyone even originals itself." Freya finished as she brought Lucian closer.
She then clutched his neck and soon blood start flowing from his mouth.
"What are you doing?!" Bonnie screamed as she stepped away as more blood poured out of his mouth.
"Making sure he didn't have any vervain in his system."
When almost all his blood was drained he collapses and then Freya looked at Elijah. "Elijah, compelled him and ask him where is the serum?"
Elijah did what she asks and soon Lucian replied. "There, up at ceiling there is a hidden chamber, inside there is a small vault where I hid my serum."
Marcel quickly climbed high and punched the ceiling, it was hollow and he had to climb inside the chamber.
There he found a small vault and with his strength, he opened its lock.
He expected some kind of explosion or something else but the door opens easily and there laid inside a serum in middle size tube, the substance inside look purplish like the poison of some kind.
By the time he returned Bonnie was setting a table as Freya took few things out of pocket and among them was two small bottles of blood.
"How he made this Serum?" Elijah asks as he watched it in Marcel hands who was giving it to Freya.
Lucian who was still under his compulsion star revealing everything. "After your Father figure out that Tristan, Aurora and I were your pawns, he was furious. He was going to resume his journey but because I was an alchemist and by that time knew witch of my own, I came up with this idea to create a powerful breed from the blood of your sires and werewolf venom and proposed this to him. Your father didn't believe I will succeed but he ask me what I needed and I ask him to create a vampire so we can take his blood. I think it was only time he created a vampire but nevertheless, that's how I got first blood from the originals family."
Elijah was fuming but ask him to continue. "I took my own blood and ask Aurora and Tristan to give their blood which they happily agreed, next was Kol and Fin but it was hard and took me years but finally I found Fin's sire Sage, I lied to her that I need her blood so I can find him for her and that poor girl easily fell into my trap. Lastly that witch Kol accidentally turned and she refused me so I have to kill her but luckily I was able to get her blood."
They all watched him with disgust and Elijah was about to kill him but Freya stopped him with a glare as Lucian continues with his tale. "I then did research on werewolf origins and it took me about three centuries but finally I was able to find all fourteen werewolves."
"Then what went wrong?" Freya asks and Elijah repeated these words.
There were totally fifteen original werewolf family and Klaus is last surviving member of that family, so as you can guess I needed his venom to complete my serum and something called doppelganger blood but I couldn't find any doppelganger because apparently, she was running from Klaus."
At this point for the first time, Elijah thanked Katherine and her running abilities.
"I think Klaus can forgive her now because unconsciously Katrina's betrayal saves our family from this lunatic schemes."
Elijah then held out his hand. "Give me this serum so I can throw it away in the sea."
He was hoping that she will give him the serum but instead, she opened it and Bonnie opens two blood bottle which she added into the serum. "What are you doing?" He yelled as Freya start chanting and in second the serum colours change from purplish to Golden.
"We need this serum and I just completed it by adding doppelganger blood and Klaus's hybrid blood that also contains the essence of his venom."
Elijah couldn't believe this as he asks Bonnie. "When did you get Elena's blood? I thought you left right away so it can't be her blood."
Bonnie looked nervous but she told him. "It's not Elena's blood, It's Hope's."
He looked perplexed. "Hope!? But how is that possible?!"
"Because Elena is Hope's grandmother."
Bonnie finally confessed and Elijah collapse on the chair as he tries to process all this information. "I don't believe this?! Klaus is in a relationship with Damon and Elena's daughter!"
And here he thought that he had seen everything in this world.
"Well at this point there is nothing that can surprise me anymore." He said feeling drained from all these mixed emotions.
"Lets just not give up hope brother because surprises in our lives have just begun."
He tiredly looked up and his eyes widened as Freya give that serum to Marcel who despite grimacing start drinking the serum.
"Nooooo!" Elijah stood up but before he could stop Freya brought stake out of nowhere and right in front of his eyes staked Marcel in his heart who in seconds turned grey and collapse dead on his feet.
