The Monster in My Head

PFBA

(4 months later)

Katherine sat in a room. It was hideous. It was as if she were in a dungeon. She was seated on a cold stone table. She didn't know what was going on. She was screaming, crying. There were people surrounding her. The NOLA witches. She saw Elijah flash in. He gripped the hearts of a few witches, killing them, but was held back by a few vampires. Katherine couldn't make out who they were. One thing she remembered. Blood. Tears. Sadness. She remembers holding her baby. HER baby. The little thing. Next thing she knew was a sharp pain and darkness. When she woke up, Elijah was hugging Rebekah, trying to keep her together, while he broke. Caroline was crying silently while Klaus held onto her. Bonnie and Kol had become a comfort pair. Elijah handed Rebekah off to Stefan and hugged her.

"My baby? Where's my baby?" Katherine asked. Elijah shook his head silently, allowing her to break down in his arms. One face she remembers. Esther. Katherine heard her name being called, and she felt like she was being shaken.

"Katherine! Katherine! Katerina! Wake up!" Elijah said softly.

"What? What happened?" Katherine asked, on full alert.

"You were dreaming, it was a dream my love, Shh." Elijah said. He cradled her head.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Elijah asked. He hadn't heard much of what she was saying, exactly. He just heard her grunting, and he grew worried.

"No." She whispered, kissing his cheek.

"Let's get back to sleep." She said. He nodded, wrapping his arm around her in a comforting gesture. The entire night she couldn't shake the feeling of dread, and she was as frightened as she could get.

Katherine woke up to the smell of pancakes. She loved pancakes. She got dressed and did her makeup as fast as possible. She then touched up her curls before heading to the smell of pancakes. She saw Elijah wearing an apron, but Kol doing all the actual cooking. Elijah was cutting up fruit. Katherine sat, trying and failing to hide her eagerness to eat. Katherine was served a plate of food, and waited politely as Caroline, Bonnie, Stefan, Rebekah, Klaus, and then finally Elijah and Kol were served and began eating. It was silent mostly, before Caroline spoke.

"Uggg! Why can't you just find out what gender it is?" Caroline whined.

"Caroline! That's cheating!" Katherine said.

"But what if it's like… quadruplets?! Or quintuplets?!" Caroline asked.

"Well we won't know. I've asked that we all decide not to listen to the heartbeat! And to reinforce this Bonnie over here did some spell so that no vampires listen." Katherine smirked.

"You're really enjoying this." Caroline said angrily. Katherine smirked, about to reply wittily but the doorbell rang.

"I will attend to that." Elijah said.

"Who are you?" Elijah asked. The rest of the household went to the door and saw a blonde girl. She had long blonde hair and was in her teens.

"Please, let me in! You need my help!" She said. She had a voice like Elijah's.

"Why would we need your help? We don't even know who you are?" Klaus spat, ready to close the door in her face.

"I'm Freya Mikealson. Your sister from 1,000 years ago. I have seen the future. And that child needs my help." Freya said. Something about her presence made Klaus let her in, but only so she could explain herself.

"My name is Freya Mikealson. Our families first born are always in danger. It's why I was taken, and mother made up the story that I was simply dead. When mother and father wanted children, mother had been barren. She couldn't have children. She had my aunt Dahlia do a spell so that she could have children. In exchange Esther gave the first born of every Mikealson generation." Freya said.

"Why? How are you not dead?" Klaus asked.

"The first born of every Mikealson generation is powerful. So powerful that they can barely control their own powers. Dahlia went through it alone, and claimed she merely wanted to help. After time I knew the truth. She linked me to her, so she could continuously draw from my magic. The spell was an immortality spell. I couldn't kill myself, no. But every year I went to sleep for 100 years, giving my magic time to build up. If Dahlia does this she WILL be the most powerful. No one will be able to stop her. Esther doesn't want that. The second your child is born Esther will kill it. Therefore making it useless to Dahlia." Freya said sadly.

"How do we kill Dahlia?" Rebekah asked.

"There's only one way. The soil of her homeland. Viking ash and the blood of the witch who broke her heart. Me." Freya said, facing them now.

"Bind that to a dagger and your child may live." She finished.

"Why have you not appeared before?" Kol asked skeptically.

"200 years ago you held a Christmas party here. I was there. I couldn't tell you who I was; if I did Dahlia would put you in danger." Freya said, now begging. Klaus looked ready to push him out the door, but Caroline gave him a pointed look.

"Do you want us to trust you?" Caroline asked the Mikealson. Freya's eyes lit up as she nodded eagerly.

"Let Klaus and Elijah into your head. They can make sure your intentions are to keep Kats kid safe. If you hold back we know your hiding something." Caroline proposed. Freya looked shocked.

"If that's what it takes for you to trust me." Freya gulped, almost nervous. Elijah went up first, grabbing her wrist and allowing the magic to flow through him. He knew the truth.

"She's telling the truth." He claimed eyeing her.

"Welcome to the family, sister." Kol said, smirking. Of course they still didn't trust her, trust had to be earned, especially with the Mikealson's, but they knew someone else was helping them to protect the child. Katherine gulped, smiling. She still didn't know what to do about the dream. She didn't know how she saw what she did, considering it was the inevitable future.

Hey! I know it's been months since I wrote! Writers block…. I hope you liked this chapter, even though it was short. This story is finally gaining some body. Also, should I do three girls, three boys, two girls, a boy and girl, two boys, a boy, or a girl? Or like a boy and two girls or a girl and two boys? I don't know. Depending on which I choose depends on where the story goes. Literally the gender shapes the story. Let me know your thoughts! HAPPY BIRTHDAAAAAYYYYYY!
