Diana POV
I felt my body stirring into being, the pain finally subsiding as I opened my eyes. I was alive, but what of my babies. I couldn't feel my babies!
"The babies..." I murmured, using all my strength just to speak.
"The twins are fine, don't worry sweetheart. You're fine and safe" Father told me reassuringly.
"Good" I managed to get out before the pain overtook me once more.
"Don't speak darling, save your strength. You need to relax" said Marcel in calm manner.
"Marcel?" I asked.
"What you didn't think I wouldn't come did you?" Marcel said jokingly. He refused to let me speak and carried me upstairs, back to my bed. He told me to rest and get some sleep as I had passed out for quite a long time according to him. I closed my eyes as he sat beside me, tenderly stroking my hair until I eventually fell asleep.
Klaus POV
"Thank you little witch. You saved my daughter and her babies, my grandchildren. I owe you a debt" I said, grateful that Diana was fine with no serious damage.
"No probs, Klaus. But remember this when I need your help" Sophie said. With that she left as I sunk into pensive thought, remembering when Isabelle told me she was pregnant.
Flashback
"Impossible" I exclaimed
"Not impossible, not by far Klaus please believe me" Isabelle pleaded. I sprinted towards her and pinned her against the wall, her human heart beating wildly like a bird breaking free of its cage.
"Let me go please" she choked out, her lungs quickly depleting of oxygen. I let her go but fixed her with my most menacing stare.
"It's true. We are blessed with a child, a daughter" Isabelle said, trying to make me see reason when all I could see was red mist clouding my vision.
"A daughter? Another pathetic female? Not even an heir!" I shouted furiously.
"She will be your heiress. A child to unite your family. She will be loved by all, including you. I see it all clearly. And I will be killed shortly after her birth, by you the man I most loved and trusted" she prophesied.
"Isabelle?" I said unsure.
"What just happened?" she asked. It was clear to me she didn't remember and I never told her, maybe if I had I would never have killed her.
Present day Rebekah POV
I walked up to Diana's bedroom to find her and Marcel discussing names for their twins, my great-nephew and niece. How old I sound.
"How about Alexander, for the great warrior and Bridget for strong?" Marcel asked Diana as I stood outside her room, unsure as to whether I should interrupt.
"I like Alexander but what about Victoria meaning 'victory of the people', it seems more apt!" Diana said as I turned to leave when she saw me.
"Aunt Bekah, come in. We were just discussing names for our little monsters." Diana insisted. She looked so happy and it was then I thought I should have a quiet word with Marcel.
""No, no I just came to talk to Marcel about the Quarter" I said casually and with that he followed me, telling Diana he would be back tomorrow. She continued looking in those baby naming books that Marcel bought for her.
"What's up Bekah?" he asked me.
"Listen here Marcellus and listen carefully. My niece is finally happy and safe and if you do anything to jeopardise that I will make sure you die in a lot of pain. A slow, painful death, understand? I know all about that Cami you're seeing and I want it to stop. Do you understand me? I said in a commanding tone.
"I understand, chill out. I care about these babies too!" he retaliated.
"Fine, just so you know" I said before gracefully gliding out of the room, leaving him standing there.
Elijah POV
My sister came to me and told me what she had commanded of Marcel and wanted me to do the same. I told her I would if he did anything against her wishes which greatly eased her mind. She then left, no doubt off to another party. It was then I received a phone call from the person I expected the least: My Katerina.
"Elijah I need your help. I'm dying..." she told me before letting out a rib wracking cough.
"I'm coming Katerina. I'm coming" I said as I frantically packed my things and left a note so dearest Diana wouldn't worry about me. Then, I sped to Mystic Falls as soon as possible.
Diana POV
Dearest Diana , I've just gone to Mystic Falls for some urgent business. I'll be back soon. Tell Niklaus and Rebekah. Don't worry.
Your ever loving uncle Elijah.
I read the letter again, wondering what was so important in Mystic Falls...
