Chapter 10

Truth and revelations

"You best find Lenore, klaus. I fear she's jumped into her." Alana said and turned tail to return to her studies of her grimoire and of the many books Elijah and Niklaus had in their possession looking for a spell to disable Esther's body jumping magic.

Elijah followed her and cornered her in the corridor to the study. He grabbed her arm and turned her to him. "Is it true?"

"You did not think it would not be possible, Elijah? If a hybrid can have children why can't an original vampire? Of course it is true, my love, I am with child. Our child." Alana smiled and placed his hands upon her stomach and he smiled before kissing her thoroughly.

"I love you, my radiant bride. Be here when I return, I must see Marcellus, I promised him some help in removing the werewolf children who were expected to turn by my mother, to a safe house." He said sternly, his words not a request but an order.

"I will. I love you too. We both do." At this Elijah smiled once more and vanished, leaving a breeze in his wake. Alana opened the door to the study, entered and locked herself inside.

The children got out with the help of Hayley and Marcel. Elijah and Oliver dealt with the surplus werewolves and then Oliver was hurt, leaving to tend his wounds whilst Elijah was captured by Vincent and Lenore now housing the spirit of Esther.

She took him back to the crypt she had been staying in and strung him up by his wrists to eke out his pain and force him to change. Meanwhile klaus fought with Mikael, puncturing him with the blade which had once belonged to papa Tunde before bundling him into the back in the car.

Alana sat up waiting, waiting and waiting for some sign of her family returning home. Hayley arrived in the early hours of the morning. Niklaus was still with Cami, Mikael, Davina and Caleb who had turned out to be Kol.

Marcel brought Hayley home before he left to go back to his side of the river. There was o sign of Elijah all through the night and early hours. Alana was growing worried, where could he be? Was he alright? Was he Alive? But most importantly, would this inevitable hell ever end? Would there be peace once more in the city of New Orleans and within the house of Mikaelson? She laid her hand across her stomach in a protective gesture, all she could do was hope it would be and there would be a future for her and her unborn child.
