[A/N]: And onward to the next installment!
Bonnie sat on the porch with Rebekah, and the blond Original told her the story of the witch from her past.
"The witch's name was Reyna. We met her in 1489."
Flashback
1489, Romania
Rebekah smiled and curtsied as her brother introduced her to yet another dull person. But the next person stood out. She was about fifteen or sixteen, and had long black hair that complimented her chestnut-colored eyes.
"Rebekah, I would like you to meet Reyna Feligivia. She is quite...talented."
Rebekah immediately caught her brother's meaning. This girl was a witch. She gave her a little curtsy. "Pleasure to meet you."
As the young girl repeated the gesture, Rebekah got the cold sensation that she was sizing her up. "Rebekah...Mikaelson, is it?"
She nodded her head in acknowledgement.
The young girl gave her a smile with a slight predatory edge that made the immortal uneasy. "Your reputation precedes you."
End Flashback
Bonnie frowned. "I take it this Reyna is bad news."
Rebekah shuddered. "You have no idea."
The Originals froze at Jamie's question. "What did this witch do to make an Original vampire scared of her?" They shared a look. Kol turned to Jamie. "She killed our sister."
Jamie gasped slightly in surprise. "She killed your sister? How?"
Klaus laughed humorlessly. "Oh, you know witches and their spells. She weakened her and finished her off with a spell. Luckily, she spell tired her so much that she perished also. I would hate to have her up and around again. She could have the power to kill us all, after sacrificing you."
Jamie gulped. "Let's not talk about how I'm a battery that gets activated by some crazy ritual. That just puts a damper on the mood. Tell me about your sister."
A voice came through the darkness. "I believe the correct term for you is Magister, not 'battery'."
Kol stepped forward warily and Klaus shoved Jamie behind him protectively.
The blond witch stepped into the light. "So I see the hybrid's formed an emotionally bond. Oh, big no-no when they're going to be sacrificed."
Kol lunged at her, but she flicked him away with ease. Klaus tried to bite her, but she disabled him as well. Jamie stood there alone, eyes full of a mix of fear and courage.
The witch turned to Jamie. She raised a hand and touched her temple. Jamie collapsed, unconscious.
The witch smiled and picked up the unconscious girl with ease. Then she calmly started walking further into the woods, where she met up with seven other witches, ready for the ritual. She dumped Jamie into the marked-off circle. "Let's begin, shall we?"
Bonnie sat at the Mikaelson mansion, trying desperately to track the witch. She grabbed Elijah's dessicated hand and concentrated hard. After getting an image, she pulled back with a gasp. "Rebekah! They're going to sacrifice Jamie!"
The Original grabbed Bonnie's wrist and pulled her along as she plunged into the forest. Bonnie directed her where to go, and they arrived at the small clearing. They found Kol and Klaus desperately hitting at an invisible wall. "They put up a boundary spell. We have to get in, Bonnie, or we're all dead!" Rebekah shrieked.
Bonnie gave her a look. "I've got so much more power than them." She put one hand to the boundary and slowly lowered her other hand. Klaus and Kol broke through the barrier. Klaus killed all the witches except for the lead blond, who held him off with the aneurysm trick. Bonnie stepped back into the fight, grabbing the girl's wrist. It broke her concentration, and Klaus was freed from his headache. He lunged forward. The girl desperately flicked her hand wildly, but her magic didn't work. She looked at Bonnie in horror, and then her eyes went blank and she crumpled to the ground.
Klaus stood above her. "You deserve that. Going after Jamie? Bad. Idea. And you can tell your other witchy friends to avoid this place, because I will do whatever it takes to protect her."
[A/N]: AS a special treat, I'm going to put another chapter right after this one. I promise, it has fluff. Happy Thanksgiving to all Americans!
