Christi P.O.V
So this is what thing will be like from now on, being locked in some room in the middle of nowhere with a pit-bull guard dog watching my every move aka Damon watching my every move. Under any other circumstances I wouldn't mind, but he was following me literally everywhere. Even to the bathroom that's not normal. Apparently Damon didn't trust me, he thought I would do I'll try and escape that would be stupid. I wasn't planning on going anywhere I was safer here around a bunch of Original vampire, than being out there where the witches would hunt me down. No matter how many times I tell Damon that he didn't believe me. He has some serious trust issues going on. I wonder what happened to him to be like this. So it looks like I'm held hostage until they figure out what they are going to do with me. I don't see Klaus handing me over to the witches, especially with Star safely back now. I had no idea what the coven were doing with her, but one thing I can say is that they over stepped a line now. I just hope they are prepared for what's to come Klaus Mikaelson is going to make them all suffer for what they did to her. I haven't known of a spell to put someone under bring them to the brink of death, well not someone like Star. Then again when I was around the coven I didn't really pay much of an interest in their evil spells.
A couple of hours have gone by I was sitting on the bed while Damon sat in a chair across the room glaring at me. To be honest I did feel a little guilty not telling him who I really was, but then again neither did he. I sense he was a vampire the moment he walked into the bar, but that wasn't the point, his judging me for holding back when he did the same. I sighed in frustration as I laid back on the bed I could hear muffles from downstairs, they were more than likely there discussing what they are planning to do with me. I don't know how I'm going to get myself out of this mess right now, but I need to try and extract some kind of plan. What I do know is that I needed to get Davina away from Marcel, but how? From my understanding she quite happy to be there with him. What worries me is that Davina doesn't understand that all the power she had consumed will eventually make her out of control. I needed to help her before it's all too late.
"So this is how it's going to be?" I asked sitting up looking over at Damon. "Silence." I asked him raising my brow. This silence was killing me right now I couldn't handle it no longer.
"Well you don't want to know what going through my mind right now." Damon spoke bitterly, he was kind of scaring me right now. I know he can't psychically hurt me, but that doesn't stop the fear. "Anyway I'm not here to discuss the weather. We aren't friends." I was taken back with that comment that we wasn't friends. Did Damon just see me as some kind of cargo that he needs to watch over?
"Wow…" That all I could say turning away from him. I was kind of hurt, because even though I knew what he was I sense that he was a good person. You don't get to many vampires like that, but it turns out I was truly wrong.
"Aghhhh did I hurt your feeling?" Damon taunted me. I wasn't going to bite back, because that what he expected from me. "Seriously what do you expect from me Christi. Huh?" I'm tired of him and his stupid attitude right now I turned to face him.
"Let me ask you something Mister! What would you of done? Huh? If you knew that your blood had to be spilled for some stupid sacrifice would you stick around?" I raised my voice at him waiting for him to respond. "You think it was easy for me to walk away? Well here a news flash! It wasn't! Then to find out what happened to my cousin, and how Marcel using her like some freaking puppet!" I screamed at him as all my emotions were flooding to the surface, as no one seemed to understand my reason, well one person did and that was Star. I was about to yell at him some more when he had me pinned against the wall.
"I'm slowly losing my patient with you." Damon spoke darkly which made me a little frighten, I notice that his eyes adverted to my lips my breath began to quicken from having him this close to me. Then suddenly he kissed me every part of me wanted to push him away for being such a dick, but I gave into my temptation it was magic, the way his lips connected with mine. It was right, and somehow, among all of the dizziness and the clinging to him like a life line. Something inside me changed, never to be reversed. This new feeling could be dwelled upon later, because, for now, I was content to feel his breath come and go with mine. I felt light headed like I couldn't breathe.
Vision…
I looked around to see that I was in Lafayette cemetery, I could hear someone crying in one of the tomb. I began to approach it, and the closer I got the loader the cries were. I walked further in and stopped in my track when I saw Star chained up like she was some kind of animal while Agnes one of the elders in our coven was searching through a bag. There was fear in Star's eyes as she cried. I didn't understand what was going on right now.
"I know that you are a good person. You can't do this to a helpless child. All I ever wanted was to be a mother and have a family." Tears began to rolled down Star's cheeks as she cried out her pleads. "I never thought that it could happen. That I could have a child, and now I have been granted a precious gift. You are trying to take it away from me." My heart began to sink hearing Star plead for her child life. Agnes turned around while she held some kind of syringe in her hand. I had seen that before and I knew it wasn't good.
"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. "I'm so sorry…" Agnes holds Star's head down and stabs the needle into her neck.
End Of Vision…
"Christi?" I heard Damon called out as I gasped for air. I felt like I had been holding my breath under water. I looked at him while he looked at me with concern "I know I'm a good kisser but I didn't expect for you to die on me." I looked at him even more confused what did he mean by that?
"Die on you?" I spoke with confusion as he help me up, I tried to regain my composure.
"Ermm…. I kissed you and you literally died on me. Like kaput you heart went out. You actually died." Damon spoke a lot differently now from before his voice was filled with concern along with his expression. As he spoke I remembered what I had seen. What Agnes was doing to Star?
"Star…" I said in a panic getting out of Damon grip and heading for the door, before I could reach it Damon was right in front of me. "Damon I need to get to Star. They have her." I spoke as I was trying to get pass him and every time he blocked me.
"Not so fast witchy. Star fine she's in her room resting. You're freaking out over nothing." He tried to usher me back over to the bed "You need to rest yourself. I don't know what happened but something clearly wrong with you." Damon didn't understand what was going on right now I know why that had happened to be it happen before when I knew there was something wrong with Davina. Star life was in danger and I sense that I needed to get to her before it was too late and something would happen to her or her child.
"You're not listening…" I yelled at him which took him my surprise. "Star's in danger!" Damon looked at me a little hesitantly I knew I didn't have time to continue with this with him. I didn't want to do this but it was my only choice. I caste as spell to give Damon an aneurysm which made him drop to ground yelling in pain. "I'm sorry, but you'll understand my reasons soon enough." Before he could answer I continued to chant the spell until Damon passed out.
I searched his jacket pockets and found his car keys I got up and before I left I took another look at him I felt bad for what I did, but I knew if anything happened to Star, Damon would never forgive himself. I began to search the rooms for Star and I couldn't find her anywhere which only confirmed the vision I had, that Agnes had her. I needed to get to Star before Agnes will do something that she will later regret. I made my way out of the house trying not to be caught by any of the vampire that resided in the house. I saw Damon car and ran over to it, I was so frighten to get caught the keys thumbed in my hands as I tried open the door. I finally got in and turned on the engine and began to make my way to the cemetery. I drove like a lunatic beeping at cars to get out of my way. After what felt like a lifetime getting there I parked up and began to make my way in. I stopped to think where Agnes had Star and I recalled a statue of two cherub. Once I knew where that was I began to run in that direction, I came to a halt when I saw Agnes stab Star with some kind of syringe.
"Mali profectus ad profundum inferni." I raised my hand sending Agnes flying across the room hitting her head against the stone wall. I rushing over to Star, but stopped as I saw some strange light radiate from her while she screamed in pain. I felt frozen on the spot in a matter of moments the light became brighter Star let out blood curdling scream, as she did the whole cemetery was filled with an explosion of white light. I shielded my eyes from the brightness I had no idea what was going on right now, but I knew that dose in that syringe wasn't meant to do that. Everything went quite I moved my hands from my eyes and looked over at Star. She still stood there chained up trying to catch her breathe.
"Star…" She really looked out of it, I tried to free her from the chains, but it was no use I muttered a spell and they unlocked making her fall into my arms. "You're going to be okay." She looked up at me a little confusion in her eyes.
"Christi?" She spoke as she got up began to back away from me, she had really strange expression on her face.
"Star we need to get to a hospital. Agnes given you something that going to harm your baby." I wanted to question her about the light show, but she looked far too out of it.
"His fine." She touched her tiny bump with this huge smile on her face. "He protected us." Star spoke in a loving tone. Was she trying to tell me that her unborn child possessed some kind of magic?
"Okay I'm officially confused. But I need to get you out of here before she wakes up." I got hold of her arm tried to usher her towards Damon car but Star stood her ground.
"It makes sense…" I turned to her frowning as I had no idea of what she was talking about. "Our child. He has traveller's blood flow through him." I felt my jaw drop as I heard her speak of her child having travellers blood. What I knew is that travellers and witches do not get on whatsoever especially since the witches put a curse on them. Then there the fact that I didn't know that Star was a traveller. "That how he did it. You must have seen it Christi the light—" I cut her off in mid-sentence.
"You're a traveller Star?" I don't know if I wanted to hear the answer to this.
"Yes technically I was born as one. My mother and father were travellers. It's long and complicated two thousand year old story." Star began to frown before walking away from me she looked like a woman on a mission, there was no way I was going to allow her to do anything apart from go home.
"Star where are you going?" I called out as she continued to walk away, she stopped as she did I saw an unconscious Sophie on the ground. She had a needle mark at the side of her throat. "Oh god Sophie." I went by her side trying to wake her.
"Agnes did that to her to hurt Hayley and the baby." Star voice was filled with anger. "I've had enough. Those witches are going to pay!" Star yelled as she walked off I wanted to go after her, but I couldn't leave Sophie like this and the fact that Hayley going to feel the effect of this might cause her to lose her child. I grabbed hold of Sophie and supported her weight brought her to Damon car I looked round to see that Agnes was gone. I don't know what I'm going to be dealing with when I go back there I'm sure that I'll be seeing a pissed Damon.
Klaus P.O.V
This is not how I expect my morning to turn out, going by my brothers orders. He still in a foul mood over the whole dagger incident. I don't know what Elijah expect from me to prove how actually sorry I am for my actions. So following him on this quest to finally put Sophie Deveraux in her place once and for all pleased me. From the very start I didn't want to be some kind of puppet abiding by her rules, all because she had the life of the woman carrying my unborn child. Of course Elijah way of thinking was very different back then it was all about my redemption that this child would be my salvation. Now I know it was nothing to do with that Elijah had grown some form of attachment towards Hayley. I wasn't blind nor stupid I had seen the way he looks at her, even on this very morning the way he following her around made it obvious. I didn't know how to feel about this in a sense I felt jealously not because I had some untoward feeling for Hayley. It was the fact that the child growing inside her was mine, I didn't want Elijah trying to play father. My daughter already has one, and that's me.
There was another reason why I wasn't too thrilled to be following my brother like I'm his lackey that was because Star had only just returned home. All night I had been thinking over everything she had t, told me. What apparently my mother and father attempted to do to her in this other world, the length that the both of them would do to kill my happiness. I hadn't spoken of this with anyone else I wasn't sure how to actually wrap it all around in my mind. Star was very upset about it all and I assured her that nothing will happen, I won't allow my wicked parents harm her. I intend to keep by my word. For over 500 years I thought I would never see happiness again because she was taken from me, but Star was here with me, and alive and bearing our child a son. This moment in time I couldn't be anymore happier, my heir was growing by the minute. I thought all this time I had to build hybrid army, all because I wanted to create some form of family. Now I was going to become a father of two children, they were my concern and priority along with their mothers. Star I would always protect until my dying breath not matter what. As much as I didn't particular like Hayley nor her attitude I intend to do the same for her as she was also giving a gift that I thought was psychically impossible.
So I'm going along with this with Elijah to stop any further kind of control as I will take back New Orleans on my terms nothing else. Our family was growing, and I didn't need witches continuously trying to threaten the lives of the two women who hold my children. So I was more than willing to play along with Elijah. If he seems to think that he will have full control over this, then he has another thing coming. We arrived at the restaurant to no Sophie, but Sabine laying on the floor unconscious. I looked around the room and you could clearly see there was some form of struggle happened here. Sabine regained consciousness and Elijah helped her up.
"What happened?" Elijah spoke gruffly. It appears my older brother wasn't in the mood for any games today neither was I. Sabine looked at him a little confused for a moment.
"It was Agnes." She spoke as she rubs head as she looks around. "Her men took Sophie." Now maybe Elijah could finally understand this all of this was all plain sailing. Just maybe he might understand why I had gone to the length I had gone to.
"Day one with you in charge, brother, and already the witch linked to Hayley has been abducted by zealots." Agnes didn't learn anything from my actions from yesterday theses witches will not stop at nothing.
"Where is she?" Elijah demanded to Sabine. He obviously didn't like my tone and also the fact that they had taken the one thing he wanted to deal with. I will leave Elijah to play boss today and he can finally see that things aren't always going to plan out.
"If I tell you where Agnes is, you'll just kill her." She turned to me. "Especially you after your performance yesterday. Is Christianna still alive?" Oh yes the precious Christi that the witches are so eager to get hold of so they could finish off this harvest.
"Isn't that obvious? Of course I want to kill her after her attempts even after my stern warning." Was this Sabine that naive to think I would just allow this all to continue? She obviously hadn't heard of my reputation I will not let this slide there no bloody chance in hell.
"Look, I know she's a little...coo-coo, but she's our last living Elder. That might not mean a lot to you, but it means plenty to us. The Elders are the one ones who can do important spells." I knew exactly what she meant by important spells. Well looks like it will be an end to the elders once and for all.
"Like completing the Harvest ritual?" Elijah questioned her and she looked at he a little confused. She really thought we wasn't fully aware of what this wicked people were up to? Over the years witches feared vampires even werewolves at times, but it appears that they have become fearless now.
"You know about that?" She shook her head. "Of course you do." She glared over at me. "You have the last part of the ritual in your possession." Sabine spoke a little bitterly and stepped towards her to rip her heart out when my brother held me back and gave me 'the look' to say he had matter in hand.
"Oh, you'd be astounded by the things we know." Elijah spoke to her rather smugly. Which made me wonder how much more had Davina spilled to him. I stepped away from Elijah hold and looked directly at Sabine.
"Allow me to entertain you with today's list of priorities. One, unlink your friend Sophie so she no longer controls the fate of the woman carrying my child. Two, convince my brother to accept my heartfelt apologies for some recently dodgy behaviour. Three..." then I was rudely interrupted by Elijah before I could tell her that my third action of the day will be the death of her elder Agnes.
"I believe what my brother is attempting to communicate, here, is that neither the life of this Elder, nor the Harvest ritual, nor your coven's connection to magic are of any relevance to him, whatsoever." Elijah paused for a moment to look at me as if read my thoughts exactly. "Now talk." He demanded to Sabine. My phone began to ring and right now wasn't the time for interruptions. I looked at the screen to see it was my new found friend Damon.
"Damon I'm rather busy. Right now" I spoke to him abruptly as I wanted to deal with this matter with the witches once and for all. They had their time for redemption but it seems as if they do not fear my words nor my actions.
"Well you need to get your ass home. I have Sophie Deveraux here, and looks as if the witches didn't take your warning seriously enough. So stop being a dick and get your ass here." With hearing that Elijah and I both exchanged a look then left leaving Sabine behind. All that ran through my mind was the fact what had these witches attempted now. On arrival back to the plantation Damon stood there on guard while a very nervous Christi sat there with an unconscious Sophie.
"Would you like to explain what going on here?" I asked looking between Damon and Christi as they both held the same worrisome look upon their face.
"Klaus…." Christi spoke a little nervously. "I found her in Lafayette cemetery Agnes stuck a needle in her. Cursed objects were created a long time ago. The witches use them so they don't get busted by Marcel for doing magic. The one she used is called the Needle of Sorrows. It was cursed in 1860 when..." I didn't care of the history I wanted to know what all of this actually meant.
"Jump ahead a few decades and tell us what it does, love?" I asked her firmly Christi glanced over at Sophie for a moment then back to myself.
"It has only one purpose: to kill a child in utero by raising the blood temperature." I stood there stunned, while the rage began to build up inside me just as it did when they used there witchery on Star. Do these witches have some form of death wish?!
"It's for a miscarriage." Elijah questioned while Christi nods. "So, how much time do we have to fix this?" Elijah demanded from her the expression upon Christi face was filled with even more worry.
"It will do what it's meant to by tonight's high tide. And believe me, it will work. I've heard her use a similar object on a kid who went mad and killed a bunch of priests." My mind boggled right now as I knew to keep my temper under control as I knew Star was up stairs resting. I didn't need her coming down here hearing about all this. She had been through far too much I need her to recuperate and think about herself and our child. I will deal with this witches for what they have attempted on Hayley.
"I'd like to have a chat with this Agnes. Where can I find her?" I asked keeping my voice calm which was proven difficult, this witch had crossed a line that she may never come back from.
"There something you need to know Klaus." Christi spoke with fear in her voice. "When I got there Agnes had dose Star with the same cursed object." Christi spoke just above a whisper, I had to reflect back on the words that she had told me to register it all in my mind.
"What!" I yelled at her which made Christi stand behind Damon as if he was able to actually protect her from me. "You telling me after everything that they commit another treason!" Elijah appeared in front of me to hold me back "Where is she?!" I yelled as Elijah held me firmly back.
"You need to calm down Klaus. Let me remind you if it wasn't for Christi none of us would be aware of this." Damon spoke firmly as he shield the witch. "Star gone to find Agnes….." Before he could continue speaking I left in search of finding her. I feel as if my heart in breaking into two that these witches sole purpose is to break me. The thing is the heart is a muscle and what do muscle do when they're torn? They grow back stronger. On my word as I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will rip the witch's heart and leave her gasping for breath. As I fear no evil.
Damon P.O.V
Watching Klaus lose it after we were told that there was no hope for Star I felt his pain, Star meant just as much to me as she did to Klaus. All this because these damn witches in New Orleans wanted to control Klaus. I just wish when this all came to light I would have grabbed Star, and left this cursed town. Things could never be that simple could they? No complications had to come in the way. What was going on in New Orleans was no difference to the same old crap I was trying to get away from in Mystic Falls. When I saw that Klaus had Christi life in his hand he was ready to rip out her throat as pay back to the witches for what they did. I didn't know why he had her she was some bar maid as far as I knew. Well I was clearly wrong because this one girl Christi was far more than that she was a witch, but not any kind of witch some super powerful one. It was like there was truly a god up there, because before I was about to watch Klaus kill Christi out of nowhere Star appeared.
I wanted to embrace her but I knew I had to get Christi out of there before the witches got hold of her, even as angry I was for her lying to me not telling me who she was. So I wanted answers from her for her actions so I began to interrogate her about what the hell was going on and I could sense she was scared to death. I didn't understand considering that she was this all powerful that the witches wanted her. Then certain things came to light that she had used some kind cloaking spell to protect her the reason for her return was to get Davina the little witch everyone been raving on about. Another thing surprised me is the fact that Christi and Star had formed some kind of friendship. All I knew right now with all this is that Christi had to be kept safe unfortunately for her it was going to be me doing it. I brought her back to the plantation much to her disliking and protest. Elijah and Rebekah were both happy to see that she was still alive and that Klaus hadn't done anything stupid. Well I explained to them the only reason because Star was alive and kicking. They wanted to talk more about it but I didn't I know I had to put up with Klaus but it didn't mean I had to be nice to the rest of the family.
So I had brought Christi into one of the guest room and kept a watchful eye on her. She didn't like the fact I followed her every move to be quite honest I didn't give a damn. She tried to be break the silence asking is this how it was going to be I didn't want to have small talk with her because deep down I felt kind hurt by her actions. I knew that I began to have feeling for her, I didn't expect to be falling for a witch the one thing I hated more than anything. Because all they seem to do to me is screw me over. I don't know what happened one second I was threating her the next I was kissing her. It felt weird and strange nothing that I had experience before. Then I notice why it was like that because I heard Christi heart come to a complete halt. Her tan complexion turned into a pale white her body was limb in my arms. She was dead in my arms, before I could even do anything about it I heard her gasping for air all the colour return and she looked at me with confusion. I began to tease her about this sudden action then the next she yelling about saving Star. This witch clearly had a few screws loose or something she kept saying Star needed saving, before I knew it I was given one of them witchy margin and passing out.
I woke up on the floor and my head felt like it had exploded I looked around the room and that little witch had escaped. I was beyond pissed right now. I made my way out of the house and I stood there for a moment trying to think where I would even start looking for her. Then low and behold I see my car coming up in the drive way with Christi driving it. Not only did this girl give me a witchy headache she freaking took my car! I rushed over and opened the car door pulling her out.
"That wasn't a very nice thing to do." I threaten her while she looked at me with eyes filled with concern.
"I've not got time for your little tantrum. I need to get Sophie in the house." I looked in the car to see an unconscious Sophie Deveraux. "Damon can you just help." She as she struggled to get Sophie out, I got hold of Sophie and carried her in my arms.
"Before you made your great escape you told me Star was in danger. This isn't Star." I spoke as we approached the house, did she say Star name because she thought I wouldn't let her leave if it was Sophie? I knew that Sophie was connected to Hayley as much as I didn't get on before, she has an innocent child growing inside her I didn't want to anything happy to that child and also her.
"Can we just bring Sophie in then I'll explain everything to you." Christi spoke a little frustrated which annoyed me but I did as she asked.
I placed Sophie on the couch then Christi began to explain to me about her vision, how she saw Agnes some witch inject Star with some kind of cured object. Of course I began to demand where Star was, and that when she told me that Star disbursed some kind of light force that Christi had never seen before. None of this sounded right to me, and when I demanded her why didn't she bring Star back with her. She asked me what I would have done. That she had the lives of two babies in her hands, Star did a disappearing act then to find Sophie the way she did. Apparently this cursed object makes the temperature rise causing a miscarriage, with hearing this I was even more concerned about Star health, and the baby health. I went to check in on Hayley to see if there was any truth to all this, but when I saw Rebekah was by her side I knew that everything Christi told me had some truth. Apparently Hayley had been breaking out a fever and didn't feeling too hot. I knew before I did anything stupid I needed to let Klaus know exactly what has happen.
So I called him told him to get his ass back home. Let just say it didn't go down to well with the original daddy with the new of what the witches were doing to his two baby mothers. I wanted to leave straight after him but I didn't trust leaving Christi with Elijah and Rebekah not with all that's going on. So I had a huge choice to make as for some stupid reason I couldn't leave Christi I stayed behind. I just hope Star forgives me this and I'm pretty sure that Klaus will seek his vengeance on those witches. Elijah looked at the both of us for a long moment which was kind of freaking me out.
"Where is Hayley?" He demanded. I knew the older brother had a thing for the she wolf it was as clear as day, of course this annoyed Klaus even more.
"Up in her room—" Before I could even finish off my sentence he was gone. I followed behind going up to Hayley room, where she was laying the bed as Rebekah blots sweat from her forehead and chest.
"Hey! Just because you're carrying a baby, doesn't mean you get to act like one! I'm sure my little niece is healing you up as we speak." Rebekah spoke to her calmly. I think the wolf had grown on all of us over the months. Rebekah turned around to see both Elijah and I standing there. "So are you both going to stand there groping all day?" She spoke with frustration as Elijah approached the bed.
"Hayley how you feeling?" He spoke to her with concern which was a real eye roller. Could he be anymore more obvious? The next moment Christi came running into the room.
"I know something that can help." Christi spoke breathlessly. Rebekah got up from the bed looking over at Christi with a vengeful look, I moved closer to Christi in case Rebekah decide to something incredibly stupid.
"Help? You're the reason we're in this bloody mess the witches want you! Maybe I should fulfil their request." She was about to go for Christi when Elijah stood in her way. "Why aren't we unlinked with this witch already, Elijah?" Rebekah yelled at him I had no idea what was going on but it seems that Elijah had his own plan going on.
"Rebekah, let her do what she can." Elijah spoke to her firmly then turned to Christi. "What needs to be done to save Hayley and the child?" Christi approached the bed and looked at Hayley for a moment.
"I may know a way to slow the fever down. But, I'm gonna need some special herbs." She turns to Rebekah. "I know you don't like me. All I'm trying to do here is help I don't want anything to happen to Hayley or the baby." She turned me. "I'll text Damon a list." I began to frown did she think I was her lackey? I watched as Elijah nods at Rebekah in encouragement, and she finally surrenders from her anger smiles patronizingly.
"Fine. Happy to play the fetch girl with Damon." Rebekah stomps out of the room, and shoves the towel she was using into Elijah's chest as she leaves. I wasn't too happy with the fact I had to go on some mission with barbie klaus. I was about to protest when Christi gave me her puppy dog eyes.
"Fine!" I walked out of the room to see Rebekah looking at me with a smirk. "Don't even start" I warned her as I went down the stairs as I didn't need her little diggs.
"Start what Damon? If you're trying to imply the fact I can clearly see the witch has you around her little finger." I glared back at her. "Just saying." She spoke with a smirk. This wasn't what I needed to be some kind of amusement for Rebekah thinking that I'm whipped by Christi. Cause i wasn't. Was I?
Star P.O.V
I woke up feeling great that the burden of what happen was told to Nik, I felt safe once again hearing his words telling me nothing or no one will hurt me. Then in a matter of seconds that was ripped away from me. That witch Agnes had me taken from my own home brought to her so she could be rid of my child, but not only mine but also Hayley's as she had possession of Sophie Devereaux. These two innocent babies do not stand a chance while these witches are so determined to take them from us. As Agnes stuck this kind of syringe in me I felt like a strange sensation as she injected the fluid into me it kind of felt like a burning sensation from my lower stomach. I recalled having this same feeling when I was with my mother in limbo I guess I could call it that as I wasn't truly on the other side. All I recall is having this excruciating pain screaming as I felt something flow through my bloodstream. As fast as it went through it faded like whatever Agnes attempted to do my body rejected it.
Then I notice Christi was in front of me she was looking at me with fear in her eyes. She wanted to make sure that I was okay if anything I never felt better. The only thing that was on my mind was to make Agnes pay for what she had attempted to do to me. She may think I'm some pathetic human, but I'm not going to sit back and let her get away in harming my baby. These witches are hell bent to kill my innocent child, and there blood won't be over Nik hands it will be mine. So I left Lafayette cemetery making my way to the main road where it lead into town the only thing that was on my mind right now was vengeance on those witches. They were never going to stop until they got what they wanted. After what felt like a life time of walking I had finally arrived in town I know I was happy to be human, but right now I really missed my supernatural abilities. Everything that had happened to me over the last couple of day was bubbling to the surface. From Esther trying to tell me to make a choice which resulted nearly killing me to this right now with that evil manipulative witch trying to kill my child. The only emotion I was running on right now was rage, and I needed to keep it like that until I finally let them pay. I arrived at the witches caldron made my way to Agnes little shop as I walked in I saw Sabine.
"Where is she?" I demanded as Sabine stood there a little stunned, I wasn't in the mood for her to be questioning me right now.
"Star? Who are you looking for?" There was something about the way Sabine spoke to me that clearly states that she knew exactly who I was looking for.
"Don't play cute with me." I looked around the room and I saw an unusual knife across the room. "You're a little different from the other witches aren't you?" I asked turning back to her to make her notice that it caught my eye.
"I have no idea what you're talking about?" She spoke a little defensively. There was something about her that didn't send off the same vibes as the other witches I notice it for her the day when we came back from the party when I was sick. I just couldn't put my finger on what it was that was different.
"You can keep up the pretence. Your true colours will come out." I spoke as I walked over to the table picking up the knife slipping into my pocket. I turned around to her and she looked at me with arching her brow. "What do I know, I'm just a mere human." She looked at me intensely "Well I better get going." I left before she could even say anything.
I went looking around to find her but everywhere I went was a total dead end I tried to think of anywhere she could be but there a million places that she could be right now. I began to walk down one street and I could see from afar the church, I felt as if something was drawing me to it. I began to step up my pace until I got to the church doors, as I open them I notice I walked into some kind of meeting. Low and behold there stood Agnes amongst them I could help but smile knowing I'm gonna finally deal with her once and for all.
"I'm truly sorry to interrupt…" I spoke as I walked down towards the front of the church were father Kieran looked at me a little oddly.
"I'm sorry this is a private meeting." He spoke a little nervously I turned to my right to see Agnes standing there looking a little dumb struck to see me.
"Oh is this where you guys all plot mass destruction against Marcel?" I looked around to see there wasn't only the witch here but also so kind of town officials too. "Well isn't this all so cosy. I'm sure Marcel would be extremely upset about all this." Agnes looked at me with a stern look I'm guess she thought I would be writhing in pain right now. "I guess you're wondering how I found you Agnes. You see with your attempt to kill my baby you've kind of opened up so to say a Pandora box." That's the only way I could describe it because I did feel different I believe that somehow my child had protected itself from the witchery Agnes had attempted. My precious child had made me a lot stronger not in the psychically sense but the will to make sure that he is sad end protected.
"What the hell going on here?" Police chef demanded as he looked at Agnes. "You harmed this woman and her unborn child?" He looked at Father Kieran. "You want us to continue to protect the witches from Marcel when they do things like this? This is an outrage!" He continued to yell. We'll at least the human side of the community felt the same as I did.
"She carrying the child of the hybrid both of which are abominations. Something that shouldn't be unleashed upon this earth. Your pathetic know of nothing" I felt a rage build up inside me like nothing before as she spoke of my child and Nik in such a way. I pulled out from my jacket pocket the knife that caught my attention in the witch's shop I had no idea what it could do but I felt truly drawn to it. I watched as Agnes eyes widen as I held it in my hands and I could hear the grasp from the others. Suddenly I felt someone touch my arm.
"Sweetheart. Put the knife down." Nik whispered into my ear which sent a cold chill down my spine. I turned to face him to see Nik looking at me with concern.
"Why? She tried to kill our child. She tried to kill me!" I expect Nik to be more enraged in hearing that but instead he looked at me lovingly then kissed my forehead
"She will not die by your hands, you're not a killer Star." He slowly takes the knife from my hand so it was in his possession. "Hello, Agnes." Nik spoke with amusement as he smirked at her. Then I notice that the Father stood by his side while Agnes looked at him with outrage.
"You made a deal with HIM?" Agnes yelled. I looked between Nik and Father Kieran with slight confusion as I though he wanted nothing to do with vampires. Lest of all with Nik so how come he suddenly switching sides?
"After what you did to Sean, I'd deal with the devil himself just to make you suffer!" Father Kieran spoke fearlessly to Agnes who stood up and get in Kieran face.
"You can't hurt me, the entire witch community will turn against you!" She threatened him. I watched as Nik face began to enrage in fury as she spoke.
"ENOUGH!" Nik yelled which made me take a step away from him as when he was in these kind of moods they frighten me. I notice what he action had done to me, and he looked at me with an apologetic. "Please, enough! I don't care about witch politics. I don't care about your ridiculous little Harvest ritual. What I care about is this trinket." He holds up the syringe that she used on me. "Undo its curse, or I'll show you things worse than death!" I knew he meant every word. Nik knew of ways to torture and torment people that would frighten most but Agnes didn't appear to be frighten what so ever as she stood there smirking.
"Dark objects don't come with an off-switch! The curse took root in Sophie, she's linked to your devil child. It's just a matter of time that her and this thing that you call your wife." I was about to go for her when Nik held me back which infuriated me further.
"I will hurt you for this. I don't know how yet, but give me time. A day will come when you think yourself safe and happy, and suddenly your joy will turn to ashes in your mouth, and you'll know the debt is paid." I meant ever word if Nik didn't make her pay for her actions not only to me but to Hayley. If anything is to happen to either of these baby I will go by those words because hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
Klaus P.O.V
After hearing from Christi what this witch Agnes had attempted using some cursed object on my wife and also not forgetting on Sophie I was left raging. The reason behind all this is that it would affect unborn children, causing the mothers temperature to rise so eventually they miscarry. Every part of me wanted to tare into Christianna for allowing Star to run off as she did, but I couldn't waste time on her. My priority was on finding Star before that the witch did, so I left the plantation as I knew my dear brother and the merry clan could deal with a way to save Hayley. I needed to find a way to save Star, she was human the affect could hit her a lot sooner. If she is to lose our child I know it will destroy her, and I cannot allow her to go through that kind of pain. Star had been through enough since coming to New Orleans, the only reason she is here is because of me. Because of the love she has for me, and all that's happened is my fault. I cannot, I will not allow her to go through any more pain.
Knowing the information that Agnes was the one who placed the hex upon Father Kieran nephew the twin of the barmaid Cami. Using a similar object upon him I knew I could use this to my advantage as Agnes death was invertible. If the humans turn on the witches and with Marcel vampires loathing them already it will make everything fall into place. So I needed to somehow find Star, which wasn't going to be simple as I didn't know what kind of state of mind she would be in. While I began to search the streets, and during my search I came across Father Kieran of course I informed him of the information that I came across, and believe me he was not happy in the slightest. Apparently there was some kind of meeting happening between certain fractions Father Kieran kindly invited me along to join in the discussion. As tempting as the offer was I needed to find my wife as she was priority. Father Kieran had left and I saw Josh I asked him kindly to keep an eye out for Star, of course he couldn't oblige to my offer. He was ordered to look for Star and told to bring her immediately to me at the church.
I went to this so called meeting and upon my arrival I see Star about to attack Agnes, I couldn't allow her to do such an action even when turned into a vampire she was riddle in guilt when killing those humans. Now with her being human herself she wouldn't be able to handle having that kind of blood on her hands even if it's the woman who is trying to kill our unborn child. If the witch was going to die it would be by my hands, and my hands alone, of course Star wasn't very pleased with my actions of stopping her. I notice also she didn't appear to be having any kind of symptom as Hayley was experiencing, I listen to our child heart beat and it was stead which surprised, me but I was also grateful. Agnes wasn't best please that her secret had finally come out, with each of the fractions slowly began to turn on her. All I knew was that this witch was ruthless and if she continued with her viper tongue of her which I will soon silence.
"You're a piece of work, Agnes. But, guess what? I'm quite a piece of work myself. You know, I contemplated leaving bits of you artfully arranged outside your family's tomb? I thought it would leave a fitting message." I zoomed over to Agnes and pulled her up into a chokehold "Don't. Touch. My. Family." I threaten her as I was going to enjoy tarring her into tiny piece and scattering her. I glanced over at Star who had a stunned expression, I followed her gaze to see Elijah approaching.
"Leave her." Elijah demanded. I wasn't going to listen to big brother on this one not after what this witch has attempted to do to destroy my family. I pulled Agnes into a headlock and stood back as I watched Elijah walk down the aisle towards us. "I gave my word." Father Kieran stands up to greet Elijah.
"You tend to give your word at the most inopportune times, brother. We've been doing things your way all day. Come on! Just one little snap and its Toodle-loo, Agnes. She deserves it! Look at what she had done to Hayley, but not forgetting Star. You brother expect me just back down, because of your word!" I raised my voice at him. I was tired of people trying to dictate to me telling me what I should and shouldn't do.
"Niklaus, don't make another move. You have asked for my forgiveness. I will grant you that forgiveness, but do not make me break my word." Elijah spoke with seriousness in his voice this had to be some kind of joke. He actually expected me to back down and not kill the woman who has tormented the woman I love. Elijah was delusional.
"Nik please listen to him." I looked over at Star as she looked at me with pleading eyes which always got to me, I glared over at my brother as I considers it. After a moment I lets Agnes go if this was a way to get things back on some kind of track then it better be worth it.
"My noble brother, how was that for personal growth, eh? Still, it is just like you to spoil all of my fun." I taunted him as this wasn't the time for him to be stopping me. How could he not allow me to take this evil vindictive woman life?
"Oh, not exactly." Elijah spoke as he stares Agnes in the eyes. He zooms over to one of the men who helped Agnes and rips his heart out, throws a second man up into the air. Then does the same to a third as he rips out the man's heart. He turns to where Star and I were standing with a bloody heart in each hand, and drops them to the floor, then he pulls out his pocket square to wipe his hands as Agnes stares in horror. I stood there grinning proudly behind her as this wasn't the action I was quite expecting from him. I glanced at Star who was also grinning as she watched my brother approaching Agnes. "Now, I swore you would not die by my brother's hand. I said nothing of my own." He grabs Agnes in a chokehold and pushes her backwards "Nobody hurts my family and lives." He snaps her neck, and turns to us "No one." He looked at Star with concern "Star…. How are you feeling? Are you having any kind of symptoms?" My brother was always fond of Star, he saw her as my hope for humanity. He was right she was the only person that kept that side of my still there.
"I'm fine. Whatever she did to me didn't work—" She looked over at me. "—I'm impressed that you listen to your brother." She gave me a small smile before placing a soft kiss on my lips then pulled away "Can we just go home please. I think we need to thank Christ for her help today." Star was right if it wasn't for Christianna actions from today Star and Hayley would have lost both babies.
"I think we all need to be thanking Christianna for her efforts of today. Don't you think so brother?" Elijah spoke as we were exiting the church, I was about to speak when I saw Marcel from a far.
"Bring Star home will you brother." Elijah looked at me for a moment and saw that Marcel was approaching us.
"Of course." Elijah placed his arm around Star and was about to take her away but then she pushed him away.
"Nik?" Star spoke with a little fear in her voice, I think she was concerned that I was going to have some kind of altercation with him.
"Sweetheart I'll be home shortly." I kissed her and nodded to Elijah before that Star could protest once again they were both gone. I began to walk away from Marcel after his little stunt in the Bayou I did not want to be associated with him and his games.
"Hey, where you been?" I stopped walking, and rolls my eyes in annoyance before turning to Marcel "Not still mad about our tiff the other night, are you?" I smiled at him fakely trying not to not show my annoyance.
"Water under the bridge." I had to bite my tongue of course as much as I wanted to beat the living daylight of him I couldn't. Well not right now.
"I'm feeling like right now's not the right time to pursue a relationship you know with that Christi. Seemed she likes your friend Damon. Who am I to get in-between true love? Life all about timing, you know? Speaking of, I swung by your house earlier to commiserate over a drink, but I must have just missed you." I knew this had nothing to do with the fact that Christianna had chosen another suitor.
"Oh, the Palace Royale didn't suit me, I moved on weeks ago." Marcel smiles and shakes his head in amusement.
"Nooo, I mean your other place." It seems that Marcel has been doing a little a little digging while I've been running around two dealing with this witch problem "Interesting location to put down your roots, the same plantation where I was a slave. I guess that's why you never invited me over." He knew where we lived? How the hell did he even find out? Well I guess I couldn't keep our location a secret for long.
"Well, how rude of me. I'll speak to Elijah. I'm sure he'll be pleased to host you and Davina for the evening! Especially after you were so hospitable to him." I smiled at him as I don't think Marcel was truly aware of how his little witch had become a little attached to my brother. Marcel smiles and chuckles which irrigated me.
"Good! I look forward to it." He and I continue to shake hands, but as soon as Marcel leaves. The smile disappeared from my face. It is easy enough to be friendly to one's friends. But to befriend the one who regards himself as your enemy is the quintessence of true religion. The other is mere business.
Christi P.O.V
I knew I had to do something to help Hayley not lose that baby she was carrying, I wanted to help Star also, but she went off like a crazy person. It was like I was between rock and hard place with two innocent lives had been cursed by Agnes, and I knew she really wasn't going to give up. I've heard of Niklaus Mikaelson that his not a forgiving man, he will make me pay for my actions today. Right now I couldn't worry about that I needed to try and save at least one of these woman. I left Sophie while I went to check on Hayley, they were all up there including the sister who hates me with a passion and I still don't know why. The only thing that matter right now was trying to get Hayley temperature down and I knew of a way. Of course Rebekah wasn't too pleased when Elijah ordered her to go with Damon to pick up the herbs, I really needed to find out what the hell her issue was with me. While they were gone I suggested to Elijah to bring Hayley down to the outdoor pool as her being in the cool water should help drop her temperature.
At this point Sophie had woken up and she seemed a little surprised to see me that was something expected to be honest, but I didn't have time for her questions. My concern was on Hayley and that child. Elijah dropped a huge bomb shell on Sophie informing her that his family are not playing by her rules no longer that he has Davina performing an unbinding spell. He looked at me apologetically as Elijah knew I wanted my cousin free from all of this. Sophie was outrage and even more outrage with the fact that Klaus was on the hunt to find Agnes. She started to blab on about her being the last Elder which was a real eye roller, like they were actually interested in any of that. Finally Damon and Rebekah came back with all the stuff that was needed. Hayley was getting pretty bad as the effect of the needle of sorrow kicked in. I could see the panic in Elijah eyes as he watched her in pain I told him to hold her to keep her calm. There was moments of touch and go where I truly thought we were going to lose that poor baby.
Then Sophie felt a lift that the spell that had her blind to Hayley was gone Davina had done it and I was grateful because Hayley didn't deserve to be some pawn in all this along with Star. Once Hayley was okay Elijah left kind of abruptly moments later so did Rebekah. Hayley thanked me for saving her which actually brought a smile to my face as this was the first good thing I had done since coming home. Damon seemed a little cold towards me and to be honest I couldn't be dealing with any of it. So I left him before he even attempt with any witty remark and went up to my prison cell. I was exhausted from this nightmare of day. This is wasn't I expect to happen from the moment I was taken by Klaus to be saving his two unborn children. Well I hoped that there was still two as neither of those innocent babies deserved to die I don't care what the witches say I feel no kind of negative or evil energy. The thing about witches they always feared the unknown.
I laid on the bed trying to fall asleep but I just couldn't because everything kept going around in my mind. From trying to free Davina and then this sickly feeling I had that maybe Star and the baby were not okay. Klaus hadn't returned so that wasn't a good sign. I heard the door open to see Klaus enter the room.
"So you're going to punish me now for defying you?" That what I have been waiting for all day for Klaus to stroll in here basically rip my head off. All because I let Star walk away well he didn't need to do that as I felt terrible enough already about it all. Klaus shrugs his shoulders as he looked around the room.
"You were foolish to escape as you did." He spoke with slight annoyance in his voice. "Damon told me how you disable him. I hope for your sake you're not planning on doing that again." Klaus spoke as he began to approach my bed there was a little edge of danger to his voice. My eyes widens I backed away from Klaus until I hit the headboard and was unable to go further. I remembered how he tried to kill me in the square and knows that he would do it again without blinking.
"I had to escape. Star needed my help, and Damon wouldn't listen to me when I tried to tell him about what I saw." Which was the truth Damon didn't want to hear me out he thought I was acting like a crazy person. I probably did sound like one in his defence.
"Calm down love." He raised his hands in surrender then turned walking over to the window "What you did today Christianna was extremely courageous some might say—" He didn't look at me, he continued to stare out of the window "What do you know of me Christianna?" He asked as he turned to face me with curiosity. Did he want me to give a history lesson on how evil and corrupt he is?
"I know that you're a hybrid. A combination of a vampire and werewolf. I know that you fear Mikael who has tried to kill you more than once, and your mother Esther hated you and tried to do everything that she could to kill you and your siblings." I didn't want to go into detail about his being this evil that didn't give anyone mercy as I knew the only reason he was here. Was to make me pay for not protect Star who I wasn't aware if she was dead or live.
"You know your history." Klaus sounded impress. "I'm also known to be ruthless, power hungry, abomination, destructive, vicious when it comes to the thing that I want. That is what I'm known as Christi." He smiles slightly. He was officially freaking me out now. "What people don't see is that I put my family above all. I have lived by a code for over a thousand years always and forever. Family is very important to me Christi. Today because of your actions as reckless as they may of appeared you saved my family." So that meant that Star was okay. I felt like a weight had been lifted off me because if something would of happen I would never forgive myself.
"Star is my friend and what the witches want to do to her and Hayley is wrong. I weren't going to let Agnes hurt those babies, and I was going to do whatever I had to do." I notice that now Klaus was smiling at me which I didn't expect.
"Star means the world to me. More than anyone upon this earth will ever know. She granted me with something that i thought was never possible." He sit on the bed. "When I heard of Hayley was with child. My child. I wanted nothing to do with it." He looked over at me with slight sorrow which is something I never expected from him. "Now I stand here today fighting to keep not only one child alive but two. None of that could have happened without your help." He began to chuckle slightly. "A day ago I was ready to kill you. Today I'm indenting to you." I was a little taken back with the way Klaus is behaving right now. "I do not wish to harm you Christianna. I will protect you from those vial witches. That's the least I owe you." He gives me a smirk which didn't convince me what so ever that he planned to help me or protect me. Klaus was known to only do things out of his own interest.
"How are you going to protect me from the witches?" A question which I needed answering from him as right now I didn't know who I could trust. For sure Star, but her husband?
"You have no reason to trust me Christi, and one thing I have learnt over my life time trust is gained. You can chose to leave if you like. Go back home." He get up from the bed. "But doing so the witches will come for you. Marcel is mostly likely aware of who and what you are. I would like you to stay in my home not as a prisoner, but as a guest. You're a very special young lady I not mean by your magical ability. You're pure of heart there far few who hold that uniqueness." I sat there listening to his every word and I could hear genuine sincerity in his voice. Have I just seen the said to Klaus Mikaelson that Star sees? I heard him sigh. "Also the fact that Star has grown a fondly attachment with you, I feel she needs someone like yourself in her life." I couldn't help but smile to his comment that he thought I me being a good person for Star to have around.
"I care about Star." I looked at Klaus "I will not allow the witches to come for her and Hayley again I will stop them even if I have to die protecting them. As for Marcel I am not afraid of him, I will find a way to save Davina and I don't care what I have to do to do that Klaus." I meant everything I had told him I didn't come here to pledge some kind of war. I will not allow the witches from my coven bully and take what they think is rightfully in there eyes. It was all wrong and I will not let two innocent lives be taken because of their fears.
"Let's hope it doesn't come to that." He turned away walking towards the door then suddenly stops to turn to me "Davina will be free from Marcel I will see to that. You may not like my efforts in doing so but I will reunited you with your cousin. That I promise you." I could imagine Klaus effort which would mean blood would be spilled but to make that kind of promise or assurance that I will have her by my side actually made me feel a little better about all this.
"Thank for helping me." Klaus looked at me with a smile. Not a fake one but a genuine smile which I think is a rare thing to see.
"Sweet dreams Christianna" He leaves the room. The one thing I learned today is be kind. Be generous. Be helpful. Show mercy. Be forgiving. Give love. Be thankful. Do acts of kindness for those who can never repay you. It all helps to brighten humanity! Those thing all apply to one person today Klaus Mikaelson a hybrid who still has a humanity.
Star P.O.V
I was brought home against my will I did not want to leave Nik with Marcel not in the mood that his in right now, much to my protest that didn't happen. I was prepared for Nik to finally seek his revenge on Agnes what I didn't except was Elijah to do so. I had never seen him look so vengeful in the whole time I have known him, the way he rip out those men hearts then to finally kill Agnes it was definitely something I did not expect, but Elijah words before he killed her made me smile. When he spoke Nobody hurts my family and lives I couldn't be more proud of him but I knew his action were more towards what the witches had done to Hayley than anything else. Elijah insisted for me to enter the house and rest after the ordeal I've been through. I informed him I wouldn't be able to do that until Nik was home. Elijah knew not to argue with me as I could be a stubborn thing at times.
He left me to be alone and I sat down in one of the chairs on the porch. I felt on edge with Nik being let with Marcel I know the history between them both. With the way Nik is right now he might do something incredibly stupid. Which is something I don't want him to do not because he could get hurt or he would kill Marcel. My concern is with Nik rage if he was to hurt Marcel he would never forgive himself as much as they are each other's enemies right now but once they were family. Marcel looked at Niklaus as a father figure just as much as Nik looked upon him as a son, it's just a shame that all of that all this had happened between them both. I don't even know why there was so much hatred between the both of them, and maybe I should start asking questions why. I was interrupted in my thought to my cell phone ringing I looked at my cell and was a little startled to see that Luca was calling me.
"Hello?" The last time I had spoken to him was months ago when I was at the Gilbert lake house. As he speared me on to go on that quest to take Silas down. I always wondered if Lucas knew the truth of my past. Did he know that Silas was my father? Did he know all of those stories were a fabricated lie?
"Star, how is everything it's been a long time since we last spoke. You forgot about your old friend Luca?" Luca spoke in his thick Italian accent. I felt a smile slowly creeping on my face. It had been a long time since I had heard from Luca. I sat back in my sit and prepared to have a nice conversation with him.
"Luca it's been awhile since I have heard from you. How are you?" I wanted to know how everything was doing back in Italy. I kind of missed San Salvatore maybe it might be an idea for me to take a little trip there while all this craziness going on.
"Good. Quick question. You at home at the plantation by any chance?" I noticed the change in Luca's voice and I narrowed my eyes. I don't know why, but I sensed that something weren't right.
"Yes I'm at the plantation. Why?" How did he even know about this place? I shook that thought away as I knew Luca as a warlock probably kept tabs on me. I looked up to see that Luca was walking up the steps to come face to face with me.
"Well lucky for me I took the chance coming straight here." He approached me with open arms and hugged her tightly. "Your looking beautiful as always Star." I was shocked to see Luca. And I knew that this visit was important because it weren't like Luca to leave Italy. Something was wrong and I wanted to know what it was.
"Luca it's great to see you again." I looked at his grim face. "Luca what's wrong? Did something happen?" That expression on his face I had seen many times and I know it was something serious.
"Why don't we sit down?" We both sat down and he held my hand. "I came all this way because there a few things that need explain in regards to your sudden transition to being human." I looked at him curiously as what did he know about me becoming human. "Also the fact you are finally becoming a mother." I was finally getting what I always wanted to have a family. It was like a dream come true for me, but my smile faded as I remembered what the witches had tried to do to me. Christi had put a stop to that when she saved me and Sophie. Which I still need to thank her for.
"What is it that you have to tell me? Do you know who did this to me?" For Luca to come all this way he must have had some idea of what had happened to me. I watched his expression change from a smile to a serious expression.
"Your father made an appearance a few months ago." He removed his hands from mine and stood up. "Silas, the one man who I thought never to meet." He turns to me with a sorry expression. "To find out his was your father after all that training we did." He looked at me regretfully. "You do know I wasn't aware of that?" Of course I knew he didn't know hardly anyone knew about Qetsiyah sick plan of revenge. I gave him a smile and nods "Well Silas is something. I mean this man knew of spells that we could only wish we could do. Your father wanted you to have a normal life after having nearly two thousand years stripped from you. He wanted for you to have a normal human life." Was Luca trying to tell me that my father is the reason why I'm human? "He along with several member of the coven performed the spell in placing you in transition to become human Star. Silas will do everything in his power for his daughter to be happy." My eyes widened as my thoughts were confirmed. I couldn't believe what Luca was telling me. Thanks to my father I could finally give Nik a child. Our family was finally complete. My eyes filled up at the length that he went to make sure I had this life I've always dreamed of.
"My father did this for me?" I looked at Luca for confirmation and he nodded "Why do I get the impression that you have more to tell me? What is it Luca?" He was hold something back and I sense that.
"There is more. It's to do with your child." He hesitate before speaking which wasn't like Luca. "You must realize none of us knew of this before we performed the spell." He takes in a deep breath and pulls out a piece of parchment from his jacket pocket. He hands it to me "This will explain. You're Latin pretty good, but I'll explain to you what I know. The child you carrying Star is the one weapon that the travellers can use against the witches. You know the history of the witches set a curse upon your ancestors so they couldn't unite. If they did the unspeakable would happen sudden fires earthquakes all matters of destruction. Your child will stop this. Sanguinem belli." As Luca was talking I was reading the parchment that confirmed everything he had just spoken. I looked up at him in shock none of this could be true. Our child couldn't be this Sanguinem belli. It was an innocent child how could it possibly? Did my father know of these consequences?
"That can't be true Luca. Please tell me that my baby will not be used as a weapon against the witches." I raised my voice slightly. All I've been hearing since knowing I was going to become a mother. Not only from Luca but for the witches to want to destroy my child too that he was some kind weapon against them. With Luca confirming all this frighten me because this isn't the life I wanted for my child. To be Sanguinem belli something that will be used as part of a pawn in a war.
"I'm so sorry Star. If i knew." He once again looked at her regretfully. "I promise you between your father and I we will find an away to protect you and this child. Please believe that we will do this." He held my hand tightly. "Your father wanted to be the one to tell you, but it was risky for him to come here and not be notice. You do understand don't you?" I felt like my head was going to explode I was going to be a mother like I had always wanted, but it weren't without consequence as my baby would be used as the ultimate weapon against the witches. Tears ran down my face as I thought about my child's fate. I couldn't let allow this to happen. There had to be a way to protect my baby.
"Thank you for telling me." I spoke quietly as I didn't know what else to say.
"I will be in town for a couple of days and I would like us to meet up if that okay with you. I'm going to do some more research, and I'm hoping I'll have better news for you. I'm so sorry that I'm the one who brought you bad news." I stood up and hugged Luca. I walked him to towards the steps. He kisses me cheek and looks at me for a long moment before he walks to his car and drives off. Everything began to spin in my mind I couldn't handle any of this right now. I just wanted everything to be normal, I wiped away my tears before I would get question as soon as I would walk in.
"Sweetheart you ok?" I heard Nik speak with panic. I looked at him as he just appeared out of nowhere. "Is the baby okay?" He touches my tiny bump. I wanted to tell Nik everything that Luca had told me that our baby would be used as a weapon against the witches, but Luca had promised to protect the baby and that wouldn't happen. Our child would be safe he didn't need to know any of this yet Nik had too much on his hands right now. I looked at Nik and smiled.
"The baby is fine." I assured him as I didn't need him to worry any further than he had done today. I heard him sigh in relief which brought a smile to my face.
"You look exhausted." He touches my cheek in a loving way. "You're freezing." In one swoop he picks me up bridal style. "You my beautiful wife need your rest." He spoke firmly before he placed a soft kiss on my cheek. He was right I was exhausted and I felt like I wanted to go to sleep and wake up with all this being a terrible nightmare. I notice that we were in our bedroom Nik placed down with that same look of concern. I gave him a reassuring smile and walked into the bathroom to get ready for bed. When I came out Nik was already in bed I walked over and climb in. Niklaus hugged me tightly from behind. "Star I know with what happened today, I broke my promise to you." Nik spoke with sorrow in his voice. I turned to him and his expression matched his voice I didn't need him to beat himself up about all this. "I promised that I would never let any harm to you. I broke that and that something i never intended to do" I place my hands either side of his face. I wasn't looking at the man everyone fear and saw as a monster. I was looking at the man I love who felt fear and only show that side to me.
"Before I met you I never knew what it was like to be able to look at someone and smile for no reason. You feel that you have broken some promise to me Niklaus but you haven't. What we have right here is unconditional love. It expects no rewards knows no fear does not demand." I smiled while a smile crept up on Nik face. "You need to know that we not going to promise each other that we will not disappoint one another because at some point we will. What's important to me is that you don't go away you don't escape that we do not leave one another." Before I could continue Nik pressed his lips to mine taking my breathe away. The one thing I knew about this man that I was utterly in love with. Is that he will drop everything else in life to tend to my every need. That's real love if you ask me.
