Chapter 16

I wasn't able to go back home due to the book, if Elijah or Klaus were to find out about it I do not know how they would react. I stayed all night learning about this man, albeit according to Vincent. Many of the last few pages of the book were nothing but false stories due to what actually happened, The Impaler had made a deal with some demon for the power of some sort.

By the time I arrived home a storm hit, bodies were scattered around the first floor. My first thought was Marcel had betrayed our deal and done this, I found no one in the circle where they kept him. Only blood and bodies on the ground, something had gone down tonight.

I had to find Marcel, he would be the only one to give me answers. The only place he would be in would be his home, I took one of the cars to his penthouse. I was right about it, though it was my mistake to come today. I found Niklaus walking out of the penthouse.

His face said it all, his arms were crossed."Elizabeth, you should not be stressing yourself out."

I approached him, trying to make things less awkward for me."I need to speak to Marcel, I know you don't trust him but I must."

He sighed, nodding."I'll wait for you to be finished."He walked passed me, but I grasped his hand.

He turned around, confused.

I didn't want to leave things between us broken when the time came I wanted him to know I loved him. I pulled him into a soft kiss, showing him all the desire I had for him. He returned my kiss, placing his hands around my neck.

He pulled away, smiling at me and at my bump.

"I know things have been not the best for us at the moment."I murmured, holding his hand against my bump."I will do whatever it takes to save my baby and myself, I want a future with you."

"I understand, Elijah hasn't been helping our situation."He whispered, caressing my bump."I promise to stand by you, by our child. Whatever you have in that pretty head of yours, tell me, Love."

I placed my arms around him, he returned the hug. Things would get better, and once this was over we would be together once again like we used to be with a beautiful baby in our lives.

I placed a kiss against the neck."I will, I just need to talk to Marcel first."

He let go of me, placing a kiss on my forehead."I'll wait for you outside."

I watched him leave into the elevator before I walked into Marcel's penthouse, Marcel looked intact sitting in his sectional drinking some sort of liquor.

He glanced at me, giving me a smirk."Guess I didn't need your help to get out, why are you here Elizabeth?"

I sat down on the gray soft sectional, it felt great at the moment especially pregnant."Because you're the only one who can help me, I beg of you not for me but for this child."

He chuckled, placing down his cup."Elizabeth, no matter what happened in the past I still care for you, now tell me what do you need."

"I want to know of the Impaler, You must know something about him."

He furrowed his brows, his smile fell into a much serious look."Why are you asking about him?"

"Because I keep dreaming about him, I see myself in these situations that I have never had been."I admitted I was desperate for answers."He calls me Emilia, and in one of the dreams I die."

Marcel sighed."I met him once when I went to battle years ago, he goes under a different name. All I know is that he's nothing like me, a whole different species of vampire."

"What's his name?"I inquired trying to get as many answers as possible.

"Elizabeth," He said."Why do you want to know? You're getting yourself into the deep fire, I heard what Elijah said to you."

"That man may be my salvation."I closed my eyes for a second, before opening them again."I need to find him, if he's not mine then he must mean something."

"He went under the name Alexander Nicolaete."Marcel stated."I do not know if he's even alive, or where the man could be hiding. By the looks of it, Elijah could care less if you die."

Part of me thought his exact words, the other part thought he was just doing it for his family. My child came first before anything, Elijah Mikaelson would not stop me."I just want to know what he means. I also want your help, help me find him."

He looked conflicted, as if he were fighting an internal war."I'll find him, I'll bring him to you with one favor back in request."

"What?"

"When that baby is born, allow me to see him."

I nodded, seeing the glimpse of the softer side of Marcel I hadn't seen in so long. I don't know about Hope, I certainly know about my son. I want to grow with a family, with people who care for him when I'm no longer here to watch him grow into a wonderful man.

"Why was Klaus here?"I raised a brow.

"He wants us to work together against the hollow."He explained, nonchalant."I'm guessing you've been up to something with that."

"With every ancient creature there's some sort of weakness, she's a dead witch by my guess. Every witch has a weakness."I glanced down at my phone, realizing I had Klaus waiting for me outside."I must go now, Marcel find him."

I stood up walking by the door.

"I will."

I walked out the door toward the elevator, things had to change for the better. The impaler might be a monster, yet he just might be my savior.

A brown haired boy around the age of ten had been taken from my grasp."Ingeras!"

I held onto the tiles for dear life, my demise had come."NO!"I could no longer hold on, the last thing I saw was a dark haired man.

My husband, As fell into my pool of death. He came after me, bats forming out of him as he tried to push faster to get me. I hit the ground, every bone inside of me felt as if it were being hammered.

By the time he reached me, it was too late. I was numb to my own pain, he held me in his arms tears coming out of his eyes. He had to save our son, I was far long gone.

I was barely able to keep my eyes open, for him I would keep myself alive as long as I could."There's still time for you to stop them,"I gasped for breath."Drink my blood."

"No, I cannot take your life."

A tear rolled out of my eye, I wanted my son to have the future I did not."My life is lost already, but our son's is not."

He was hesitant, his tears falling onto the silk of my dress."I love you."I whispered.

"Do it now."I plead him."Please."

A snarl came out of his mouth, fangs forming out before he dug his face into my neck. Taking the last bit of life I had at the moment.

I opened my eyes finding myself at the Mikaelson compound. What was I doing here, at the edge of my bed was Hope smiling at me with a plate of something in her hand. I sat up smiling at the redhead child.

"Dad said you weren't feeling well, I brought you this."She said, placing the plate in my lap.

I glanced down at the plate, it was some crackers and cheese."Thank you, why don't you help me eat them."

She nodded, I pushed the plate in-between us. She started to eat them, I smiled at her. She was truly like her father, no matter how much Klaus hide his softer side he was a man who had a heart greater than anyone would know. Hope would be a great witch, the strongest witch and a great sister to this baby growing inside of me.

I got up from bed entering Klaus's bathroom, I broke down into tears. I couldn't describe this feeling, it wasn't my own yet it felt as if it were. This agony and despair, as if I were dying.

"Alaric come on tell me about this Mary."

The dark blonde haired man shook his head, blushing. He cleared his throat, becoming more serious."How are you, Beth? Stefan told me things have been getting worse for you, I don't want to lose my only niece."

Her smile fell, into a look of sadness."I don't want to die, I want to live and see you go through the mess of their teenage years."

"How long do you have."

"Three months, that's not if I have less."She sighed."To better news, Mr. Salvatore is about to be a father."

The man chuckled."Stefan doing diapers, that will be something."

The man had been restless all night, his dreams being invade by a redhead beauty he hadn't seen in years. His wife, his deceased wife. The thing was it wasn't his wife, the resemblance was uncanny. For years he spent searching for his wife, passing decades after decades searching for her.

If his dreams were correct, she was alive. Who ever she was, he would find her even if it meant searching hell. Fate had given him another chance, it wasn't even like a dream it was as if he were seeing her.

She was sitting across a table talking to a man, who looked in about in his late thirties. She was smiling at the man, her voice soft and delicate as his wife was. The vibrant red hair, piercing blue eyes and pale alabaster skin.

He sat up, running his hand throw his shoulder length raven black hair. He had found her(In a dream). His time was running short if her words were true, whatever sickness she had he could find a way to cure it. At least he had a complete name of where he could find Beth, the reincarnation of his past love.

My sweet Emilia.
