Warning This Chapter Contain R-rated Scenes…
Star P.O.V
I opened my eyes to see the white of the ceiling I felt disoriented, I could hear a noise beside me I turned my head to see some kind of monitor for my heart. I began to sit up and I felt a little light headed I paused to gain my composure I began to think about that strange dream I was having with all those warning about me carrying some evil child. I looked around the room and I knew I was in some kind of hospital room, and it looked familiar too. I rested my head in my hands to try and remember what had happened for me to get here that I went with Hayley and Agnes to the Bayou to make sure the baby was ok. Then a bunch of crazy witches wanted to attack us I recall escaping then searching for Hayley then everything else was still a blank. I started the pull off all the wires that were connected to me as I needed to get the hell out of here, as I did that come screeching sound came from the monitor. Which cause couple of nurse's to enter the room as they did they looked at me astonished.
"Mrs Mikaelson…." One of them spoke with a stunned expression as I was getting out of the bed while the other nurse came rushing over to me.
"I don't recommend that you should be out of bed." He spoke as he tried to get me back into bed I felt find I didn't need to be here or hooked up to so much machinery.
"I'm fine. No correction, I feel great. I need to see my husband." I stated back to him still trying to get out of bed, and right now I wish I still has those powers that used to have.
"How is this possible? Dr Fitz said she couldn't recover." I heard the other one speak as she began to examine me. "Doctor Fitz needs to check her over this is impossible." She was about to walk away I needed to know what had got them both to stump.
"Excuse me what going on?" I felt confused as they were both looking at me as I didn't get any of this.
"Mrs Mikaelson you were brought here with server injuries. I just need Doctor Fitz to just look you, and your baby over." My eyes widen as she said those words I was pregnant? Then flashes of seeing Tessa, Mikael and Esther came into my mind, as they spoke of my child being some kind of evil. Everything I had experience was real? "Mrs Mikaelson just rest, we will be right back." The nurse snapped me out of my thought, I nodded my head as I continued to think back over those meeting with the ghost of my past.
I was with child. With Niklaus child. I felt a smile creep up on my face the thought of having something growing inside me that was created out of our love. That soon faded away as the words 'How is this possible? Dr Fitz said she couldn't recover'. I got out of bed and began to search the room for my clothes that I came in I opened the little side cupboard there they were, but they were stained with blood, but right now I didn't care I needed to get out of here. I got dress as fast as I could before that came back I sneaked out of the room making sure that I wasn't caught. I made my way out of the hospital and hid round the corner I grabbed my phone from my jacket pocket and tried to call Nik but he didn't answer. Then I tried Damon and the same my only other option was to call Rebekah after a few rings she answered.
"Whoever this is. I don't find it funny. When I find you I'm going to kill you." Rebekah spoke venomously. What was her problem?
"Rebekah It's me. Star." I heard her grasp on the other side of the phone. "Where Nik? His not answering his phone, neither is Damon." I was panicking now because the way those nurse spoke it was some kind of miracle I had woken, I know Nik and Damon far too well. If they were told some kind of bad news about me they wouldn't have taken it well.
"H-How the bloody hell—" Rebekah began to say but I didn't need her to question me right now.
"Please Bekah. Where is he?" As I knew Nik temper and right now I had a feeling someone was going to feel his waft.
"He took Christi. His acting like lunatic Star. Where are you? You should be resting." Nik had Christ? What hell was going on? Had he found out about what she was? I could feel my heart pounding against my chest.
"Star…." I heard Elijah voice which brought a smile to my face. "Niklaus has utterly lost control he has the witch Christi. He intends to make the witches pay for the indiscretion they place upon you." With him telling me that I knew that Nik was in the French quarters. "Star. You need to rest. You have gone through—" I didn't need another person to tell me I need to be resting.
"Thank you for the concern. I need to stop my husband from starting up a war with the witches." With that I hung up on him and hail down a cab, I could hear my phone buzzing away I knew it was Elijah and Rebekah, but my main concern was getting to Nik before he did something incredibly stupid.
After a short drive I arrived in the French quarters I began to run around like a crazy person searching for Nik, as I reach the middle of the French Quarters I could hear Nik voice roaring. I saw a crowd of people standing in a circle I knew it Nik was about to do something incredibly stupid. I started to weave through the crowd.
"You are the reason why my wife dying. You want to take something of importance from me I will do the same in return." I couldn't let him hurt Christi or hand her over to the witches. She was just young girl who has barely lived a life.
"Niklaus stop" He stood there not even turning as he continued to strangle Christi. "Nik, please don't hurt Christi." I pleads as began to approach him with caution I know Niklaus wouldn't hurt me but when he had these fits of rage they frighten me. He slowly turned his head to me with wide eyed then he began to shake his head in disbelief. I knew that Nik didn't think it was me so I continued to walk closer to him he didn't move or loosen his grip from Christi throat. I place my hand on top of his where he had firm grip of her as soon as I did that it was like a realization that I was actually here with him, he let go of Christi. She dropped to the ground gasping for air I saw Damon grab her taking her away with his vamp-speed. Which I was grateful for him to do because I didn't want any harm to come her I could see that Nik was trying to process if it was really me as he touched my face.
"How is this—" The words wouldn't come out of his mouth Nik just stood there speechless I placed my hands on either side of my face, I couldn't help but smile at him.
"It's not important right now." I kissed him as soon as our lips touched naturally moulded together Nik held me closely to him so there was no space between us. After long moment Nik pulled away from the kiss, he looked at me with wonderment in his eyes as if he wasn't sure if it was me. As he cupped my face I felt a chill run down my spine, it felt I hadn't see him weeks maybe even months I had this yearning for him right now.
"I love you so much Star Mikaelson." I could sense eyes watching us after the scene he had cause, he gently got of me by the waist holding me firmly then used his speed to take us back to the plantation. We both stopped on the porch he had this worrisome look upon his face. "Sweetheart I didn't think—" Nik spoke in a panic I knew that Nik had been told that I wasn't going to make it, and he didn't expect me to be released from the hospital. I felt fine after waking up if anything I felt even better than I did before everything happen.
"You didn't think what Nic?" He still stood there with a concerned expression I wasn't sure what was running through his mind right now.
"I should have brought you back to the hospital." As he spoke he kept looking at me with amazement I think Nik didn't believe I was here standing before him. "I just didn't think. I should take you back." Nik spoke in a daze like state, he was about to take hold of me when I stopped him. I knew that he wanted to take me back to the hospital, and he wasn't' convinced that I was fine, but he was wasting his time because I wasn't going back.
"Nik will you stop. I am fine, ok?" I knew that he was just trying to protective of me and the baby, I couldn't help to be a little annoyed because he wasn't listening to me. If I wasn't okay I wouldn't risked coming to look for him I've been given a gift of a child, and I'm not planning to do anything to jeopardize that.
"There no need for that tone Star. I was told less than an hour ago that I was losing you. I apologies for the concern would you rather me not care." He walked away to opened the front door, Nik was hurt by my abrupt behaviour I shouldn't have spoken to him like that.
"Nik..." I called out to him and he stopped but didn't turn to me. "I'm sorry." I spoke as I approached him placing my hand on his shoulder, he slowly turned to me there was a dozen of emotions that appeared on his face. I couldn't imagine what it had been like for him while I was in the state, Niklaus biggest fear is to lose me he had admitted that to me, and that what he thought had happen but I'm here right in front of him. "I know hearing—" Before I could finish my words he got hold of me and used his vamp-speed. When I looked around I notice that we were in our bedroom Nik stood inches from my face staring deeply into my eyes while I stood there wondering what he was thinking.
"You will be the death of me Star Mikaelson." He spoke with seriousness in his voice then a smile appeared upon his face, as he raised his right hand and began to caress my cheek. "You truly are my favourite distraction." I felt a smile creep up on my face as he leaned in and kissing the side of my neck, he began to rip my clothes off as I could hear the sound of the fabric ripping. He walks me backwards slowly until I felt the bed behind me, he drops more kisses on my heated skin everywhere except my mouth. My lips part as the soft moans escape I'm eager for him to swallow them I became aware of the distance between us as his body is bowed forward, and worshipping mine with surprisingly chaste kisses but nothing else is in contact. I glimpse my sanity for a small second and reach up to pull him closer. Lightning fast hands move to restrain me catching both wrists and folding them away, securely behind my back.
"If you touch me this will all be over far too quickly." His gravely mutter ensures my sanity's full disappearance and a creaminess between my legs.
"Aaahh, please touch me." The need in my whisper is akin to begging. Boy, it doesn't take much for me to become a needy mess with Niklaus.
"Tell me what you want Star." Nothing makes me hotter than his seductive voice commanding, coaching or teasing me. Just hearing it sends a powerful shiver vibrating through me as my nipples contract into tiny hard points of longing I struggle against his hold.
"I want you." His grip flexes and tightens and then he smiles against my chest.
"I was hoping for some specifics, but you know how much I like it when you resist me." His voice is low, almost humming as he wipes his sandy stubble softly around my breasts. Nik spoke arrogantly as if he knows that I can't break free and make him go where I want him to I struggle some more this time a little harder, putting the weight of my body behind it. I decide to play him at his own game.
"I want you to lick me." I spoke slowly, enunciating every syllable. "Lick my nipples and bite them – hard." He sucks in a hard breath that I reward with another attempt to free my hands. "I want your hand to trail down my breasts, my belly and find out how ready I am for you." Even to my own ears I sound husky, deprived. Frustratingly, he's still fully dressed. He doesn't let go of my hands but his hot mouth finds the tight bud on my breast. He flicks his tongue over it and blows softly so it's as taut as it will go only to leave it and move on to its twin. I moaned my protest and arch my back, offering them to him. A hungry growl lets me know that I'm on the right track. He nips at the tip, just enough to drive my desire deeper. "Take off your shirt. I want to see you." He leaves just enough space between us for him to undo each of his buttons and the sight of his gaze traveling the length of my body is so sexy. That I temporarily forget to resist his hard grip. He tugs his shirt off his shoulder and then gracefully switches hands so as not to break his hold on my arms and to shrug off the other sleeve. I take my cue and thrash about, knowing that I'm in the power of his weaker hand now. I break free turn to make a run for it but of course I'm way too slow. Like a supple panther he pounces capturing me around my waist and flings me onto the bed face down. My excited squeal is followed by his growl.
"Arms up!" He stalks after me over my back to secure me with the entire length of his firm body. I immediately comply stretching my arms above my head and grabbing hold of the ornate metal spokes in the headboard. Blood is pounding in my ears the flush of arousal glowing on my skin. "Good girl." His breath is coming as quick as mine. One denim clothed knee is pushing up between my legs and its mate is resting just outside my thigh. His weight is supported on his elbows so that he's close to me. I feel him moving and hovering over my back mere inches away but he doesn't make contact the sensation is heavenly as I feel his breath on me as well as the aura of energy and heat radiating from him. Every sense I have is screaming for attention but he's enjoy in torturing me I squirm underneath him, pushing my sex against his knee to entice him.
"Please, I want to feel you." Another low hum from his throat has tingles racing wildly up and down my spine. His tongue traces the goose bumps on my back and one hand snakes beneath me finding my wet folds. The sensation rocks through my body and I cry out his name.
"Let me hear you sweetheart." It's a hoarse whisper close to my ear before he sinks a long finger into me.
"Niklaus please, I need you." I'm way past being too shy to plead.
"You never disappoint Star feel how wet you are for me." He rubs my slickness between my folds and over my clitoris then pulls his hand from underneath me. I hear rather than see him brush his wet hand past his nose, inhaling deeply. "I love the way you smell." Every muscle I have contracts deliciously, urgently, greedily. I feel him fumble at my behind and I'm relieved when I realise he's undoing his fly. "Don't let go sweetheart." he reminds me gravely. I moaned once more from desperation and grind my sex into his knee. "Hold on sweetheart not long to go." Strong hands bracket my hips and lift them up so I'm on my knees with my ass in the air. My chest is flat on the bed with hands still gripping the headboard like my life depends on it. His breathless words of encouragement only make me want him more. I feel him position himself at my entrance where he gently rubs his erection along the slippery length of me. "You are so beautiful." His fingers flex around my hips and then he slams into me, the force rocking me forward.
"Yyyyeeessss!" the sound is ripped from my throat. He swivels his hips before withdrawing and tunnelling back in. My lids fall heavy over my eyes a sheen of perspiration slicks my skin as my body welcomes the stretch. His hand skates around my hip and onto my sex. His skilled fingers drawing small circles on my clitoris matching it with the rhythm in his long measured strokes. In no time at all the desires escalated to a knife's edge. His command cutting the bonds holding back my release.
"Come for me Star!" And I do loud and wet and joyously right along with him. We collapse on the bed, him on top of me. He rains worshipful kisses on my neck, my cheek and my temple while he gently kneads my shoulders and upper arms now that I've released the headboard.
"We're going to kill each other." I mumble sleepily. I feel his grin against my face.
"I hope so Star, I hope so." After a beat he adds more gently this time, "We have a lot to make up for." He rolls off me, "turn around." I do so as if I was under compulsion. He lifts his buttocks and rids himself of his jeans. I giggle at how hot we get for each other, not even enough time to get undressed properly.
"Something amusing you Star?" His cocked brow and devastating smile tells me he knows why I'm so giggly. He sits up and straddles my waist with a devilish smile kissing his lips as he clocks my shocked reaction – again? "Relax, I'll give you a moment to recover," he teases. "I just wanted to do your front." With that he leans forward and massages the front of my shoulders and down my arms. As always his touch is heavenly and made more so by the fact that my heart is so filled with love for him that it hurts. I guess he sees it in my eyes because he stops his kneading and just stares back at me.
"I. Love. You." I say without any reservation, pouring my whole soul into the statement. His eyes turn a dark state and he swallows hard. He holds up open palms for me to take and I willingly thread my hands through his. "And I love you Star. So much that it doesn't seem enough just to say it." His body bows over mine, like in prayer and his mouth finds mine. A gentle, slow and deep kiss that mark his words perfectly. As the kiss grows longer he straightens himself, along my length. I part my legs for him to settle into. The burning sensuality of it curls and twists around my body and in my very being. Moments later our bodies join again in a slow and exquisite dance to nirvana. He doesn't allow a break in our precious contact for even a second. Nik pace remains adoring, as if he's afraid that harsh movement will shatter the spell. Our hands are still clasped together above my head. It's just the two of us, revelling in our possession of each other, entwined in love.
Because of his leisurely pace my orgasm sneaks up on me. My only warning is Niklaus subtle change in tempo before it tears though me with a violence that stuns my senses. My primal scream is straight into his mouth still slanted over mine. A moment later he pulses inside me, jerking his own ecstasy before wrapping his arms around me in a way that makes me sure that he'll never let go. Holy hell! If I thought that Niklaus and I have made love before, I was wrong. That has to be one of the single most intense and fulfilling moments of my life. It's turned me inside out stripped me bare. Woven an irreversible connection that I'll carry with me for as long as I live.
"Thank you." I'm compelled to say something, I feel the need to acknowledge it somehow.
"We aim to please." His reply is quiet, spoken into my neck but the undertone has the same admiration that I'm overcome with. Both of us deeply affected. He untangles himself from me and curls up, resting his head low on my belly. His arm flung over my hips and my hand comb in his hair, stroking the silky strands. We lie in a contented silence for now too open to talk. "I'm glad you're back." Niklaus is the first to voice the depth of his emotion and his whispered words strike me as extremely significant. Following the experience we just shared it brings every choking feeling rushing to the surface. Gripping me with a cruel and twisting, suffocating guilt of letting him go through it all again that pain of losing me. Nik instantly senses the dark turn in my emotion, "Hush Star." he hugs me closer "Don't do that." Hot tears trickled down, dripping onto the pillow while I grind my teeth against the pain. I was holding back the emotions that threaten to swamp me. I knew there was thing that needed to be said especially in regards to our child. I gently moved him away from me he looked up at me frowning.
"Come here" I patted the pillow. A small smile appeared on his face as he complied with my request, Nik placed his head on the pillow while he laid on his side facing me. I turned to face him all that ran through my mind was how was I going to tell him about all that happen. He looked so happy with his eyes filled with content I didn't want to ruin that I could disregard all that had happened but deep down I knew he had a right to know. "Nik I need to talk to you about what happened." My voice began to shake at the fear of what I was told that it might have some truth to it that our child will destroy him. Right before me I didn't see the hybrid everyone feared I saw the man I fell in love with. The man who put up this façade that nothing can truly hurt him, but I knew what I had to tell him would. I looked into his eyes as he laid there waiting for me to speak but no words would come out I felt hypnotised as I looked into his blue-green eyes as if Nik was placing my under compulsion.
"You fear something Star?" He spoke worrisomely I could feel my eyes filling up with tears as he was right. My fear for our child. My fear of losing him. My fear of my selfishness of wanting both of them will cause me to lose the both of them. The man who had capture my heart for 520 years and a child that I've longed for just as much. My tears began to over spill my lids as I couldn't hold them no longer Nik embraced me allowing me to rest my head on his chest as my tears fell on his skin. "You never need to fear nothing Star." He spoke with reassurance and compassion in his voice. "I will never let anyone harm you again, nor our child." I could hear his voice shaking slightly as he spoke there were forces at play that not even Niklaus could protect me or a child from.
"W-while I-I was out in that coma or whatever it was I saw people Nik." I got myself out of his grip and sat up to look at him. "You're going to think I'm crazy, but it felt so real." The tears continued to flow down my cheeks Nik sat up and began to wipe them away but as he did more were flowing down.
"Talk to me Star. What on earth got you in this state?" Nik is probably thinking that I'm losing my mind. Maybe I am. I did want to believe that it was all a terrible nightmare that all the words spoken to me were all lies, but then that would mean seeing my mother was not real. There was something about see her that opened up something within me that yearning that I had for her my whole life to see her to feel my mother's touch. She gave me the will to fight she is the reason why I'm here right now because her.
"Your mother, and father—" I spoke slowly in fear of his reaction, his parents had frighten me with their warning. Yes they maybe on the other side unable to harm me, but words of warning can be as harmful. "Th-They told me—" I began to sob as I began to reflect back on the words that were spoken to me, instantly Nik embraced me tightly. In his arms I felt safe that nothing or no one could hurt me. "They told me our child is an evil that shouldn't be placed on this earth." As I spoke the words I cried even harder unable to catch my breath Nik pulled away look frighten now at my behaviour. He clasp my face to make me look at him, my vision was blurred through the tears that continued to flow.
"Star…." He spoke abruptly making me jump slightly at the sound of his voice. "Listen to me, my mother, and father have spent the better half of a thousand years tormenting me causing me misery." With this thumbs he began to wipe away my tears. "What words of warns that have given to you Star, you must not believe there are true." I began to shake my head in protest.
"She told me to choose. You or are child." Nik eyes widen and I could see the rage spread over his face. "I can't Nik. I can't choose. I can't lose either of you. I can't….. I know I'm selfish, but I can't." I knew I was becoming hysterical now as it felt like every word that was told to me was being whispered into my ear.
"I promise you no harm will come to our child." He placed his hand on my stomach which sent a fluttering sensation. "I promise you no harm will come to either of us." Nik was making such as hug promise to me which I knew deep down that he might not be able to keep. "Star." As he spoke my name it snapped me out of my thoughts. He held his arms out openly for me to embrace him I didn't hesitate he wrapped one arm around me while the other pulling up the sheets to cover our naked bodies. "Our child will not bring destruction." He place his hand under my chin raising my head so I was looking directly into his eyes "With a mother like you, how could it go down that path." I gave him small smile as Nik has faith in me knowing I wouldn't allow a fate as such to happen to our son.
"It's a boy" I whispered as Nik eyes began to fill with contentment. All those negative emotions that appeared on his face moment earlier faded.
"A son?" Nik spoke with joy in his voice. "A son….." He repeated once again amazed hearing that he was going to have a son, he leaned in and kissed me sensuously as he pulled away he looked into my eyes. In that one moment I felt as if Nik was looking into my soul "When I first saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew. No one living nor the dead will tare us apart. From the beginning it been you and me against the world. The world don't stand a chance." Nik was right us as a couple we could stand strong, so whatever might be coming our way we will get through it all. The greatest love storied are not those in which love is only spoken but those which love is acted upon that is something I can truly say about the love that Nik and I have.
Klaus P.O.V
Within the last 72 hours where my darkest hours as my world was turned upside down with the attack upon Hayley and Star, then from finding out that my wife wasn't going to make it. It felt as if my world was slowly crumbling around me I wanted to teach those witches a lesson that they will never forget. By having in my grip the one thing that will infuel there magic Christianna Claire I was prepared to snap that girls neck with no hesitation even with Damon interruption. Then one voice made my world stand still the voice I has yearned to hear in those 72 hours, the voice of my beloved I was sure it was the work of witchery, but it wasn't she stood there right before me. All the anger all the resentment the rage that was brewing within me faded away. To feel her touch then her lips against mine felt eutrophic I felt as I was drunk in her kisses in that moment it was just me and her no one else it matter to me the stares I was getting after my performance. My beautiful Star was back rightfully in my arms.
Without hesitation I held on to her tightly and brought her back home, as I looked at her I could see that she looked pale and it all hit me that she had been through a traumatic experience. I didn't even think that she should be back in hospital recovering under the supervision of medical staff. Star was human and with child I looked at her I couldn't believe just hours ago she was this lifeless person who had no chance of living along with our child. It was like some kind of miracle to have her here right in front of me I began to tell her that I should take her back she became a little defensive. Which took me by surprise all I was trying to be was a caring husband to her, but instantly she apologies for her actions and I knew I couldn't be mad her her. After the thought of losing her once again I come to realize that petty little things like this meant nothing, more than anything I want my wife I wanted to show her how much I worshiped the ground she walked upon.
Having that connection with Star as our bodies entwined into one the connection of longing for one another stirred emotions within me that I thought were long dead. Star is the love of my existence I will never doubt that, but to have thought I had lost her to death once again made me appreciate having her a little more. Our sexual encounter this time was a little different from others there was a symbolic bond sheared between us. I wanted to show my wife how much I cherished and adored her with every action I place upon her.
Star became very emotional as we laid there in each other's arms. I did not want to see her cry she was far to beautiful to be doing that, her tears began to fall it began to concern me as she appeared to be frighten of something. She finally spoke and told me that in her deep slumber my mother and father had tormented her by telling her our child will be evil. Even in death they continued to torment me by telling the woman I love that the child she bares is evil, because of whom its father was. Then Star told me the unspeakable that my mother had given her a choice the child or I. How low could that woman go? How could she ask of her to make a choice? Star has longed for a child she confess that to me when she found out Hayley was with child by me, even as I thought back to that day in the streets of New Orleans when she stood there with bittersweet expression that haunted me until this very day.
I had to assure her that nothing will harm our child or myself I made that promise I intend to withhold that as I will not let anyone living or dead bring harm to my family. To hear from Star that she was bearing me with a son I couldn't be happier, I'm will be bless with a daughter and also a son something not in my wildness dream would ever happen. I held her tightly in my arms until she eventually fell asleep. When I woke up in the morning I knew what I was going to face three hundred years ago, we called New Orleans home. Now, we've returned, drawn by a witch who seeks to use my unborn children as leverage in a brewing war, but my quest for power has turned brother against brother, leaving our family more divided than ever.
Now that Elijah has returned, can our family unite to face this new threat? Elijah and I sat opposite each other in the living room, both reading. I was reading "A Poison Tree" by William Blake while Elijah is reading one of our mother's grimoire. A dead girl I provide as a peace offering was lays on the coffee table as we listen to classical music. There was clear tension in the room after a moment, Rebekah enters the room.
"So, this is what you do the first time we're back together as a family? Vampire book club?" Rebekah spoke in frustration I continued reading as I had far greater things to be worrying about.
"Reading edifies the mind, sister. Isn't that right, Elijah?" He hadn't spoken to me since his return he hadn't even asked how Star was doing that's when I knew this time round I had gone too far.
"Yes, that's quite right, Niklaus." He spoke not moving his eyes from the books as he searched through.
"And what's this business?" Rebekah gestures to the dead girl on the table.
"This is a..." Elijah gestures as though he's searching for a word "...peace offering." He was not going to be as forgiving this time. My reason for daggering Elijah was an insurance with Marcel to show him that I was not here not to be threat, of course my big brother does not see it as that.
"I presumed, after so much time desiccating in a coffin, that my big brother might be a bit peckish." This was my way of apologising I was not one to do it often. When it came to my family I found it difficult to show remorse but when it came to my Star that was something completely different I've been under her spell half of my life.
"And I explained to my little brother, that forgiveness cannot be bought. I'd simply prefer to see a change in behaviour that indicates contrition, and personal growth." Elijah snapped me out of my thought I rolled my eyes guiltily, and Elijah gestures to the girl. "Not this nonsense." He was not best pleased with my gesture Elijah would rather me grovel and beg for his forgiveness. Well he and I both knew that would never happen even if I attempted to Elijah would not believe my genuinely.
"Well, I couldn't very well let her go to waste, could I?" I grinned to hide my true feeling as much as I portray as this heartless man, my family meant a great deal to me my actions may not reflect that but I still stand by those words from a thousand years ago. Family above all Forever & Always.
"Well, I suppose I'll go fetch the rubbish bin, because she's staining a two hundred-year-old carpet. I'm pretty sure that Star will not want to wake up to this." Rebekah gestured at the dead corps on the coffee table I looks up from my book to see the girl bleeding out onto the table, where the blood drips onto the floor.
"Ah, yes. She does not need additional stress on top conceited husband." Elijah continued to read after his low blow considering he knew what had happened to Star, and how I would always put her first.
I continued to read "A Poison Tree" by William Blake I was angry with my friend. I looked at Elijah I told my wrath, my wrath did end. I was angry with my foe. I told it not, my wrath did grow. And I watered it in fears. I began to think of Star reaction from her warning her tears as they flow down her cheeks. Night and morning with my tears; And I sunned it with smiles. And with soft deceitful wiles. And it grew both day and night. I looked back at Elijah, and then to Hayley who walks through the room, her hand on her pregnant belly. 'Til it bore an apple bright. And my foe beheld it shine. And he knew that it was mine. And into my garden stole. I watched Elijah set down the grimoire and follow Hayley into the kitchen. When the night had veiled the pole; In the morning glad I see. My foe outstretched beneath the tree.
"Poetry about poisoned apples from dead trees. Looks like someone's worried about impending daddyhood." Rebekah teased as I shook my head. "I could hear that Star had fully recovered" A smirk appeared upon Rebekah face which meant she had heard us last night, wonderful didn't she have anything else better to do in her time.
"Nonsense. Elijah's back. In his presence, all problems turn to pixie-dust and float away!" I avoid her remark about Star recover I didn't want to discuss with my little sister my bedroom antic with Star. Rebekah side-eyes me and grins I grinned back as we both knew that Elijah seem to think that matters will just simply fade away that not the case. With what going on here right now with the witches and possibly whatever my mother and Mikael conjuring too, our issues as a family were not going to fade away.
"Strange, I don't recall any pixie-dust from the darkness of the coffin I was recently forced to endure." Elijah opens our mother's grimoire and flips through it Rebekah looks at him curiously as he was searching once again for something. I've learnt over the years not to interfere with the going on in Elijah mind.
"What are you doing with Mother's spell book?" Rebekah had to ask. I was slightly interesting in what he was doing myself, with the foul mood his in it wouldn't surprise me if he didn't divulge the information.
"Well, in exchange for my freedom, I promised the witch Davina that I would share a few pages from Mother's grimoire. To help her learn to control her magic. I thought we'd begin with a little unlinking spell." Rebekah and I look at each other in confusion. What was Elijah getting at?
"Wait, you want to use her to unlink Hayley from Sophie Deveraux?" Elijah stood there with a serious expression upon his face. He looked between the both of us.
"Sophie brought us here under false pretences! She doesn't just want us to take down Marcel and his minions, she wants to take Davina back along with that poor girl who's in hysterical in the guestroom. So, she yolked her own cause to ours, with magic threats and half-truths! Well, no more. As of now, our deal with Sophie Deveraux is null and void." Both Rebekah and I grin that was ingenious how he had gotten the little witch to help us in such a manner. "Niklaus, I need you to come with me. I need five minutes alone with Davina, you need to make certain that I am not interrupted." He points to Rebekah and thinks for a moment. "You stay here and watch Hayley and Star." I wonder if I could convince Elijah to talk to Davina about this issue that Star having maybe in some way protect her and our son from force that are unknown to us.
"How did I get elected super-nanny?" Rebekah spoke a little annoyed, as I was annoyed at the fact that Elijah seem to think he has taken full control over this situation.
"More importantly, who put him in charge?" I began to follow Elijah out of the room I needed to look in a deeper about this aspiration that Star claimed to have about my parents. I can't just disregard it as I know my mother far too well even beyond the grave she be plotting our deaths, I have some almighty powerful witch under my roof who was completely useless. So the hope of turning to Davina was only hope right now.
Christi P.O. V
I knew that my cover was blown thanks to Klaus, and I was grateful to Damon for saving my life and I knew that I had to explain myself. That was something that I didn't want to as my only objective was to find Davina since I returned to New Orleans. To be avoid being discovered the witches who I knew wouldn't be pleased with me, Klaus making such a scene in the middle of the Quarter now I wasn't safe even with these vampires. Damon had brought me to some kind of abandon warehouse of some sort to be honest I thought Klaus was going to kill me that would be it my life would be over. It seems Star was my saviour as she stopped I'm truly indebted to her I also know what kind of length the coven will go to make sure my blood is spilled so they can reap there magic. You know if I could I would love to be rid of magic all together, but that would never happen nothing or none could psychically so that dream will always be just that. Now everything I had feared all this time was happening right now there was no way out of any of this I knew that. I looked up to see Damon glaring at me I knew that he was pissed and I had a lot of explaining to do I wet my lips nervously.
"Look. Before you say anything I can explain." I didn't know how Damon was going to react right now his face was filled with so many emotions, which is a little frightening as he kept glaring at me like he was ready to pounce to kill me.
"I don't know if you're going to have time for that. I'm debating whether to throw you to the witches, or just snap your neck myself." Damon voice dripped with venom, I sighed and ran my fingers thru my hair. I couldn't blame him for being angry, because I hadn't been honest with him, or anyone since I had returned. I had to keep a low profile as I didn't want to be discovered by the witched and Marcel or his goons, or even worse Klaus Michaelson.
"I understand why you are upset." I spoke quietly as I didn't know Damon too well and he had threaten me already. "But you can't turn me over to the witches. I had to lie to protect myself, because if I didn't I would have never found Davina. Tell me that you can understand that Damon. He had to understand why I did what I did they all seemed to be very clued up about Davina and why the witches wanted her so badly. Somehow with that they discovered about me I can only think of one person who would have divulged that information to them is the one and only. Sophie Devereaux.
"What I understand witchy is that your New Orleans most wanted." He step away from me and began to pace which made me feel even more nervous than having glaring at me. "What I don't get even witches in training know how to stop a vampire from attacking them—" He stops to look at me. "—Why didn't you give Klaus one of those witchy migraine? Huh? He would have been pissed, but it would have stop him from ripping your head off. You did nothing. Why?" Damon was right, I could have stopped Klaus as witches are known or casting spells on vampires, causing them to have a migraine. I could make Damon have one if I wanted to, but that would just make things worse as he was already pissed with me. And if I pissed him off even more I knew that he would follow his threat and I would never be able to save Davina from Marcel. I couldn't let that happen I would do whatever I had to do to avoid getting turned in to the witches.
"He's not exactly a normal vampire, is he?" Klaus was an original hybrid there wasn't a way to kill that was known of. "If I would have given him a migraine, he and his family and the witches would come after me Damon. Not only that his Star's husband." I couldn't do that to Star as much of my disliking to Klaus She loved him for some unknown reason, Star had become a friend to me and she was the only one whom I trust here. As we both had the same agenda to save Davina from this fate that coming her way.
"Star? What the hell is this gotta do with her? You don't even know her." Damon spat suddenly he super-sped to me grabbing me by throat. "You know I thought you were nice girl. You know the type of girl who sweet. Amity my judgment on women poor. Why I shouldn't end your miserable life?" I choked as Damon grabbed me tightly, I quickly muttered a spell under my breath as I felt I had no choice he was losing it with me. He began to yell in pain and releasing me in the process I stumbles back a few steps. He grabbed the sides of his head as he continued to yell I didn't want to do that but he didn't give me a choice I wasn't going to let him hurt me without trying to defend myself. Now was my chance to escape, but I couldn't take it I stopped mumbling and helped Damon sit up glare, at me and I smiled at him.
"You and I aren't that different Damon. We are both would do anything to protect the people that we care about. I know about Star because she is my friend." Damon began to frown I think he was unaware of Star and I being friends.
"Your friends. Right?" He get up looks down at me he had that same rage look in his eyes giving him a migraine obviously didn't calm him down. "If you're her friend then why didn't you know about what the witches did to her? Huh? I mean you're this great powerful witch." Damon use his hands gesturing fear. "Your 'friend' nearly died today. Do you know that? Or wasn't your Witchy radar working today?" Damon anger flared back up I sense that Star meant a great deal to him not in romantic way, but as family maybe like a little sister. I didn't have a clue about what the witches had done to Star or why, and I knew that Damon would not believe me. As he thought that I was a liar and only looked out for myself.
"Damon I don't know what the witches did to Star." I spoke calmly as I got up from the ground "Or that she almost died. I'm not exactly in on the loop you know?" I turned away from him as if I knew any of that I would of helped her Star was a good person I sense that from her she didn't deserve for the coven to be playing with her too. If I had known I would have attempted to protect her in some way even if it meant exposing myself.
"Why come back?" Damon spoke calmly snapping me out of my thoughts "You knew the witches needed you for this harvest. Why risk it? I'm sure your aware you little cousin can pretty much handle herself." My eyes filled up as I stared at Damon I hated to cry as it made me feel weak and I didn't like to show that I was vulnerable. Every time that I let my guard down and tried to trust people; it always backfired I was the one who got hurt. I wiped the tears away.
"I had to come back. Davina is my only family and she needs my help. She may resent me now for abandoning her, but I'm not going anyway. I will do whatever I have to do to protect her from Marcel the witches and whoever else wants to harm her." I stated defiantly. Damon suddenly starts to laugh. Why the hell is he laughing? There was nothing funny about what I said I just opened up to him and his laughing!
"I'm pretty sure she's not wanting your help. You know want's going to happen now? Don't you?" He stated with a smirk upon his face I glared at him. Ugh he was the most infuriating man that I had ever met. Why had I ever thought that he was cute? I obviously had a lack of judgement of course that was always typical when it came to me and the opposite sex. I wished that I would have just left on the floor writhing in pain while I escaped.
"I don't know why I even told you." I snapped "Of course you're going to understand as the only thing that you are concerned is looking out for yourself, and the next girl that you're going to hit on." I couldn't believe I said that I wanted to take back what I had said but it was too late Damon stood there with a full on smirk.
"I sense a tone of jealously there," He spoke in teasing sing song "You don't get it. Klaus isn't just going to let you slip away." He began to approach me like he was stalking his prey "I'm not going to let you out if my sight. Christi…" He paused. "If that's actually your name. You gonna be our new house guest at case di Originals." This certain glint in his eyes kind of mischievous in a way. "If you play nice I'll even leave a crack in my door I know your dying to see me naked." Oh yeah I definitely had Damon figured out, he was the cocky type and he knew that he was attractive. He thought that he could get any girl that he wanted by giving that signature smirk and flashing those baby blues and she would do anything that he wanted. Well I weren't like those girls and I would never fall for his charms. He was a dick and cocky one at that.
"If you think for one minute that I am going anywhere with you, you are sadly mistaken." I folded my arms as I stared him down.
"Oh please you witches, judgy little things." He spoke with sarcasm then rushed at me I felt the wind blowing through my hair and I kept my eyes closed in fear. As he let go of me I lost my balance and he caught me before I fell, my heart raced as he held me ugh this was so annoying. I couldn't deny that I was attracted to him and there was the fact that he had saved me from Klaus. I hated to admit it but he was right and now that my secret was out I knew that Klaus would be coming to see me whether I wanted him to or not. Oh this was just perfect. Freaking perfect. Now what was I going to do?
Author P.O.V
Star wakes up and her eyes scanned the room and she notice she was in her and Klaus room a smile appears upon her face, as she beings to reminiscing of the night she had with her husband which sent a shiver down her spine. A nightmare of a day ending on a high in the embrace of her husband, she laid there wondering where he might be and debated about going downstairs. She decided to stay in bed a little longer she placed her hand on the tiny bump that was forming and smiled at the thought of her baby growing inside her.
"Your daddy and I are going to make sure nothing happens to you." She spoke as a whisper, Star did not want anything to happen to her son as she saw him as a blessing. The words Niklaus spoke to her the night before 'With a mother like you how could it go down that path' that all she needed to hear from him. It gave her the courage and will that she will fight to keep her husband and child. She rubbed her stomach one more time before getting out of bed.
She entered the bathroom and had a hot shower which made her feeling even better. It felt all her worried and problems went down the plug hole. As she came out she wrapped a towel around herself and went back into the bedroom. She dried herself off and place on some fresh underwear from the dress, a photo of her and Klaus caught her eye. It was from the Miss Mystic Falls event month's back she picked up the frame and admire the photo for a moment as she could see how happy they both looked. Star had so many wonderful memories with her husband, but she knew over the upcoming months those memories she will cherish as the both of them bring a child into this world. She began to think about Hayley and how she was carrying Nik child she wondered if the siblings would be close not how Esther predicted one good one evil. She placed the frame back down and began to get changed she pulled t-shirt over her head as she looked there was a man in dark mask, she felt sharp pain and blacked out.
Star is awake now, and struggling against the grips of the masked man who knocked her out, the masked man shackle Star to chains hanging from the ceiling. She looked to her right and see that Sophie was shackled up too, but she was still out cold. Star didn't understand what was going on right now.
"Let go of me!" She protested as they retained her as she did Agnes enters with a bag and sets it on a table.
"Leave her be." Agnes knew this was only way for this to be done no such children should be brought upon this earth these two children that the hybrid had created were against nature. They have been prophesied that one of the children will end magic all together unsure of which Agnes made the decision to be rid of the both of them.
Star watched scared as she see Agnes, who picks up a knife and smiles at Star wickedly. Star's eyes widens with fear as she realizes what Agnes is planning to do. "No please." She struggles against her binds. "Please don't hurt me. Let me go." Star knew her pleads might not work, but she couldn't do anything else. The witches were hell bent in taking her child from her regardless of the consequences, right now she wished that Klaus would come barging here and kill each and everyone one of them but that was highly unlikely to happen. She began to sob quietly as she knew that it was all coming to an end.
Agnes began to approach her "It is my duty to protect our power, and our power means nothing if those two baby grows another day." She turns to face Sophie who still hadn't come around "Sabine's omen was clear. That they will bring death to us all."
Star eyes widen as she listen to Agnes words of some stupid prediction that Sabine had given how could she be so sure that either of these children would do such a thing. Star heart began to accelerate as she was becoming frighten not only for her child life, but the child that Hayley was carrying. "You can't do this. Neither of these children are evil. They are innocent babies. You can't that heartless to want to kill a helpless babies." Star tried to reason with Agnes hope that it may make her see sense.
Agnes holds up a large, old-looking metal syringe with a long needle. "Hardly innocent. Ophelia the daughter of Silas. The blood that flows through you is traveller's blood. With Klaus and yourself creating such a thing we can't allow." She began to approach her with the syringe knowing what she about to do will eventually would cost her life, Agnes was will to do whatever it took to save her coven from the dangers that had been predicted.
Fear ran through Star as she knew she couldn't do a thing if she was still a vampire or unum praeditos she could be free in seconds. This was a moment where Star for the first time felt like a hopeless human. "I know that you are a good person. You can't do this to a helpless children. All I ever wanted was to be a mother and have a family." Tears began to roll down Star's cheeks as she knew that nothing was going to change Agnes mind. "I never thought that it could happen. That I could have a child, and now I have been granted a precious gift, and you are trying to take it away from me." Star felt her heart breaking as she spoke. A child with Klaus was something she dreamt of for many years she often wondered what he or she would look like, now in this very moment that dream. That wishful desire she had held for all these years was going to be taken from her in a matter of moments.
Agnes could see the fear in Star eyes as she knew the time was coming for this child life to seize it was not a personal attack on Star in Agnes eyes. It was something as a servant of nature would do to keep the balance. "Unfortunately this family that Klaus has created can't come about. This child that you call precious gift is going to bring nothing but misery destruction" She stood in front of Star looking at her regretfully as she knew as a woman the joys of carrying a child. Agnes felt remorse towards Star to be going through having her child ripped away. "I'm so sorry" Agnes meant every word as she spoke them Agnes holds Star's head down and stabs the needle into her neck.
