CHAPTER 2

LOST BUT FOUND

The name rankled in all of their heads except Freya. She never did have the opportunity to know her siblings except Finn who was her older brother but she could practically feel the energy radiating from this stranger that called himself their youngest brother. It mirrored only a single person that she knew: their mother. She raised an eyebrow and folded her hands and looked towards Klaus who looked more shocked than anybody there. A tense silence ensued in the gathering as Henrik regarded every single one of them. Hayley leaned against the car watching the family drama that was sure to take place after the shocking revelation. Kol whistled as he watched Henrik. He was the first to overcome his shock as he said, "Henrik died as a child. How is this possible?" Henrik smirked as he stood straight,

"I'm the original heretic. Kol, remember the day that you offended father and went to hide in the woods to escape his wrath. He sent me to bring you back and when I caught up to you and you caught me using magic, you threatened to report me to father unless I let you hide out a little longer." Henrik quipped making Kol to gasp. He had never forgotten that day. It was after all the first time he had a true taste of Mikael's fury. He smiled and Henrik turned towards Klaus, "Niks, remember the day that father beat you almost to a pulp for touching his sword. That was the day that I used my magic to push him off you. Do you remember fighting for me because he dared to touch me." Klaus gasped as he watched the stranger. This was truly his brother. As Henrik turned towards Rebekah, he said,

"Bekah, do you remember you and I snuck off to watch the stars and moons against Father's wishes. That night, you swore that you would protect Niks from Father's fury no matter what it took." Rebekah smiled genuinely, "Welcome home, brother." As Henrik nodded towards her, he was suddenly engulfed in a bear hug by Klaus who whispered to Henrik even though he was sure others could hear except Freya of course. "Welcome home, bro. Think of all the pranks that you and I could get into." Henrik smiled boyishly as Klaus released him. Kol and Elijah walked up to him placing hand on his shoulders letting him know he was welcome to the family. Hayley simply nodded at him once he glanced her way. Freya walked to Henrik, "I'm sure there will be plenty of time to get acquainted, little brother." Henrik smirked at her, "Ah, long lost older sister. I'd love to know you more." Once the reunion was out of the way, they all piled into the car and Kol drove them out of there.

ANCESTRAL WELL

Kara Nguyen paced the ancestral well. She was beyond frustrated at this point. Esther watched her from where she was seated. Kara directed a glare at Esther who stood up and spoke, "calm down, Kara. Worrying will get you nowhere." Kara directed a glance at Esther and sat down on a chair in what would be the lycée in the real world. Five more chairs were empty as Esther and Kara waited for the other ancestral witches. Kara spoke as she crossed her leg over the other, "The venom was particularly designed the ones that you turned into vampires. At least, it did Finn in but what of the rest?" Esther smirked where she was seated.

"First, we propose a deal to Marcellus. If he fails to carry out our assignment, we will have the venom withdrawn from him. Then when he joins side with the Mikaelsons as he inevitably will, we raise our champion from the dead and New Orleans will be torn from pillar to post. Nobody will stand a chance." Kara smirked wider upon Esther's brief explanation. It was time to brief the other witches in the ancestral well of the plan. Time for Van Nguyen, her dearest son to carry out the assignment she had him raised to the post of Regent for. It was after all their one-time energy that he would use to raise Lara Amour Andromeda, the maddest bitch of them all. She was already seeing New Orleans in flames. This would be very successful. She could tell.

NGUYEN PENTHOUSE, NEW ORLEANS

Van Nguyen was in his study cross legged in a meditation posture. He suddenly gasped as he opened his eyes which were completely white as he spoke although in a very foreign language,

"Get to the compound and inform Marcellus of our intentions. Tell him the consequences if he failed to comply." As he finished speaking, he gasped as he suddenly stood up from where he was. A war was brewing and he had a part to play to ensure the victory of the witches who wanted the end of the Mikaelsons and the end of New Orleans. He had to prepare.

MIKAELSONS MANOR JUST OUTSIDE NEW ORLEANS

The car had just parked by the garage attached to the compound. Everybody else had gone inside leaving only Hayley and Klaus by the car. Klaus looked at the white house and turned towards Hayley, "Do you think they will recognize me. It's been an awfully long time." Hayley smirked ruefully and patted Klaus's shoulder as she replied.

"I showed them your pictures every day, Klaus. They never forgot. I told Hope and Samuel your family's history. The gory details can wait. It was not a pleasant conversation to have." Klaus chuckled at that as he said, "Hope's a teenager. I can imagine. What of her twin?" Hayley looked at the house and muttered as she stretched towards him, "You might wanna be careful with that one. Samuel has gotten your attitude and he's quite stubborn." Klaus smiled as he curved his arm for Hayley. He cleared his throat and spoke, "Well then, my lady. What are we waiting for?" Hayley put her arm inside his curved arm and smiled as she followed him inside.

By the windows stood a teenager not less than seventeen years of age. He had a mass of curled deeper blond hair and had broad shoulders. He had Klaus's set of blue piercing eyes and was also very tall. As Klaus and Hayley entered his room, he stopped his star gazing and turned around making Klaus to gasp. They could actually pass for identical twins.

"Father?" Samuel asked before Hayley had a chance to speak.

"Hello, son." Klaus spoke as he walked further into the room. The moment was tentatively awkward and fragile as Father and Son regarded each other. In short fast strides, Klaus was across the room grasping his son in a huge bear hug. Samuel smirked as he was enveloped in a hug. He buried his face in the nape of Klaus' neck and muttered, "I missed you, father. But you should rest now." Klaus smirked as he dropped Samuel and smiled at him as he asked,

"Where is Hope?"

"Probably asleep. You should rest after the tortuous years you've had." Samuel spoke as he placed his hand on his father's shoulder. "We will talk more tomorrow." He continued. Hayley stood far back leaning against the door watching father and son reconnect. She smiled as she slipped out of the room and looked at the curled form of Hope on the bed in the room nearest to her twins' room. She was sleeping peacefully. That was all that matters. There was no threat now and Marcel was not after them. She sighed satisfactorily as she slipped out of the room.

NEW ORLEANS

MIKAELSON MANSION

THE NEXT MORNING

As the door of the compound swung open, all the vampires in the room was gathered around Van Nguyen who was standing aloof and unamused as he regarded the vampires with barely hidden contempt as he spoke, "I'm here asking for Marcel Gerrard. I have not come asking for a fight." A shadowy figure on the terrace of the compound caused Van to look up. Marcel looked at him and chuckled as he spoke,

"For the mighty regent of this great city to come to this compound, the ancestors must need something from me. Pray tell, what is it, Nguyen."

"Tell your pests to get out of my face. I'd prefer to talk to you alone, O king of the city." Van spoke doing his own rendition of a fake bow. Marcel rolled and grabbed the terrace's handle and used his superior speed to jump down. As he dismissed the vampires who would protect the compound at all costs, he regarded the regent and folded his arms as he spoke, "So tell me, Van. What do the ancestors need?" Van walked a short distance and spoke, "An end to the Mikaelsons. And you will carry out that task." Marcel chuckled at the obvious boldness of Van as he vamps sped in front of him and spoke, "Or what?" Van scoffed and flicked his wrist sending Marcel at a wall while in the same motion, raising a hand to send a stake to pin Marcel to the wall as it stabbed him through the heart. Had he been a normal vampire, the stake would have killed him outrightly. But as it was, Marcel grunted as he stood up and wrapped his hand around the stake as he exerted effort to pull it out of himself. He was by then glaring daggers at Van. The look on his face could have melted Van then and there but Van Nguyen stood undaunted. He chuckled as he looked at Marcel whose eyes was red as he pulled out the stake.

"I see you've made your choice." Van stated as he raised his hand and began to chant. As every vampire there tried to protect their king, their necks were snapped as Marcel was forced to his kneels as his mouth was forced open wide revealing his fangs. Van continued chanting as his hand glowed blue. In the next instant, Marcel fell down, his neck snapped. Van's eyes went white as he spoke,

"Alea jecta est. (The die is cast)." His eyes went normal again as he walked out of the compound. It was time for the second phase of the plan to begin.
