Hey guys! Sorry I didn't update soon, I had a 7-paragraph essay, a lab in chemistry, an AP world essay and my first AP world test. I have been a little preoccupied but hopeful I learned my lesson about waiting last minute. This chapter is my shortest but it's pretty dramatic, so beware!

Chapter 9:

"WHAT DID YOU SEE!?" Niklaus growled at the frail African woman for the second time but she was still sobbing heavily. Elijah couldn't help but clench his fists in frustration; it had been about 5 minutes of nonstop crying. The female witch kept repeating the same three words, "poor, poor soul" as she rocked back and forth.

"Sophia, you aren't helping us by crying. What did you see?" Elijah said in a gentle but stern voice, squatting down next to her. She had touched the grey ribbon and shrieked like it had burned her, but Elijah only felt its smooth as silk fabric.

"She troubled creature, she know pain. I see it all!" Sophia said with her thick ascent coming out and her chocolate eyes becoming g to wide for comfort.

Both Elijah's and Niklaus' faces where plastered with confusion and irritation, the witch wasn't making sense.

"Poor, poor child." She began sobbing again rocking herself back and forth on the marble titles of the castle. Sophia was none respondent even when Niklaus bared his fangs in her face and threatened to kill her whole family.

"Niklaus, just stop. She can't hear us." Elijah said pouring himself a hefty glass of bourbon. There was an awkward silence that filled the air as Sophia started to stop crying.

"Could it be something to do with her blood?" Elijah said not pealing his eyes off of his drink. At first Nik was flabbergasted. He though he was the only one that could smell how clean and rich her blood was, it was nothing compared to any ordinary humans. After tasting it abruptly twice, Niklaus didn't see how he had resisted both times and was sure he couldn't resist the third time.

"I have no clue, brother." Niklaus said in an irritated voice as Sophia's sobs filled the room.

"He wont come for me." Kristina said feeling her strength regain its self.

A light chuckle escaped Kol's lips as he heard her pathetic reason.

"I am sure he will come." He said twirling a wood stack in his hand. He was positive that his little brother would come, after the way he acted two nights before the ball when he had sent Athan to send his brother a message, a message that never got received. But by the way he acted when Athan asked of Kristina, was the big indicator he needed.

"What are you going to do when he comes? He is stronger then you are. With Elijah by his side he seems impossible to beat." She said with venom in her voice, her only hope was the original brothers. If they didn't make an appearance, she was sure to be dead in less then a day.

Athan had been missing ever since they had brought her to this dark gloomy cabin.

What he was capable of doing and he was probably doing, scared her. He was never one for the rules when he was human, that was something she loved about him but now se realized how stupid her immature thoughts were. He was probably out there taking people's lives. Anger flooded over her and she yanked the rusty chains that kept her at bay but they didn't give way.

"What did you do to Athan!?" She yelled, she had never felt so close to death till now, but the only thing that mattered to her was Athan. Kristina still had feelings for him, even if he was out killing people.

"So many questions." Kol said sarcastically as he walked closer to her.

"You should be counting your blessings, that I haven't killed you yet. But I don't know how long I can fight it. You see, your blood calls to me, it sings it sweet song that drags me in." He purred in her ear, he was too close. Kristina could hear the beat of her heart in her own ears. It seemed louder then ever as she felt his breath fan her flesh.

She flinched as she felt lips touch her neck and trail up and down her jaw line, not kissing her but just brushing up against her skin. She pulled away, leaving him there with hungry eyes.

"I rather die." She hissed through her teeth, she was sick of people touching her.

"Don't worry I'll execute that wish in good time." He said grinning at the raven-haired woman in the deep blue, blood stained dress.

"They shouldn't be long, darling." Kol said with a massive grin.

"What hav'ya got me into!?" Sophia said pointing her slender black finger at Niklaus. Nik was so close to snapping her little neck, he had gone from non-responsive to sobs to yelling.

"Sophia calm down!" Elijah said pinning Nik to the wall but he was stronger and he could feel his little brother winning.

"Watch how you talk to me, you old hag." Niklaus said growling and slamming Elijah into the dinning table. In seconds he had a death grip on the witch's frail neck.

"Tell me what you know!" Nik demanded tightening his grip on the black women's windpipe.

"She is against nature." Sophia gasped as she tried to get air inside of her.

"What?" Elijah said, in a flash he was by Nik's side pulling Niklaus away fro from the woman so she could talk.

"She is hybrid." The witch let out in a whisper.

Bet you didn't see that one coming! Review please!
