Chapter 18

I opened my eyes, I was still in the same house with Elijah dying. Selene nor Sophia was in here, I was alone with Elijah who already suffering the effects without any hope of saving him. I tried to step out of the barrier it shocked me back, I needed to save Elijah from it. Klaus was already losing me yet I could not allow his brother to die tonight.

"Elijah."I called for him."Elijah, I know the pain is unbearable but please live for Hayley for your niece, for your brother he needs you please."

He groaned in pain, trying to sit only to fall back down."If I die tonight Elizabeth tell Niklaus I'm sorry I didn't do enough, tell him I'm sorry for everything bad I've done."

"No, you'll live. You'll watch Hope grow with Hayley at your side, you'll get married and live together for years to come."

He didn't answer back, I had to find a way to save him. A wave of pain washed over my spine, I was going into labor. Sophia walked in or well the Hollow did, she knelt down by me."Would you look at that, he's coming faster than I thought. You're dying aren't you?"

I didn't answer her, it was true I felt another contraction.

"Did you know that if by tonight everything goes as planned? your child will die along with you."She stated, a menacing smile on her lips."I only truly needed Elijah, but since you're dying with your son tonight only will increase my power."

"Go to hell."I clenched my teeth.

She smirked, the barrier around me disappeared."You're free to walk around if you can, but you can't leave the house. You'll watch as Elijah dies first then I'll come for you."

"Then take me, Elijah does not have to die. I can die in his place."

She leaned closer to my ear."Tempting offer, but watching Elijah is better than nothing you'll die either way."

"I'm more powerful and you know it. Elijah's nothing but an Original, I'm an immortal worth four times him."

I could hear Elijah having difficulty breathing."Elizabeth, Klaus needs you."

"I'm good as dead, come on I'm in labor I'll die in hours,"I argued, in time Klaus would forget about me but Elijah was his brother.

"It's sweet it really is, but now that you're reminding me I will absorb both of your power. In the process kill your little spawn."

Night fell within hours, the contractions only stronger. I felt weaker, colder and the pain only became stronger. I stayed by Elijah's side, we were both going to die tonight. He was convulsing, already growing paler by the second."Elijah, you must fight please."

"I can't Elizabeth, I'm dying but you fight your death for my brother."

"My blood can heal you."I reminded him, I gasped out of pain."My life is lost already, if I don't have him tonight I will soon."

Freya came running in, breaking the neck of one of the witches while Hayley killed the other. She broke Elijah's barrier."You wouldn't think we would leave you here, would you?"

I grabbed her hand."Save Elijah, I can sacrifice myself tonight but please save the baby. Tell him I always loved him, please save your brother and my son."

She nodded, letting go of it. Hayley walked in, kneeling by Elijah's side. Elijah protested against it but he needed to live, he needed to be there for Klaus. The pain came like needles pricking my back, I grabbed Elijah's hand.

"Use my life as an anchor for his, Freya please save your brother."

Freya began chanting, her spell failed as the jar of venom flew across the room shattering. Everything occurred so quickly, the blue lights and the hollow chanting absorbing Elijah's power. I was unable to fight it, I plead her to take me yet she did not. The blast of spell knocked me into the black abyss.

Why think separately of this life than the next, when one is born from the last? Time is always too short for those who need it, but for those who love, it lasts forever.

I could hear voices, a voice that did not belong to Klaus nor Freya or Hayley. The voice of a little boy calling me mother. I woke up laying down in a bed that was certainly not mine, everything looked different. There was a bathtub in the room, the clothing laid down on a table were dresses I've only seen in history books Henry had. A woman entered smiling at me.

"Princess, your husband has ordered for you to accompany him at the gardens."

Princess?

I looked down at myself, I was wearing a blue dress familiar to those only royals wore in the book. I didn't know how to respond to the lady, I stood up from the bed nodding at her."Do you know what day it is?"

She smiled, nodding."Four days before Easter, Emilia."

"Do you know where the gardens are?"I asked again, I really don't know what's going on.

She frowned, looking rather concerned for me."Are you alright Emilia? Should I call the prince?"

I shook my head, I was married to a prince?

"I'm rather stressed out about Easter, I'll go to the garden I just remembered where it is."

I left the room, walking toward the right. There was no light, it was a castle that looked similar to Eraklyon's palace except darker and certainly older. People walking past me and bowing their heads as they saw me, I eventually did find the gardens after getting lost a couple of times. It was beautiful, the red roses were gorgeous and blooming like no other I've seen before. My mother would have loved these if she were alive.

A man at least half a foot taller than me, radiating intense hazel eyes, dark shoulder length hair slightly tan and dressed prince like was smiling at me. I've seen him before I could just not make my mind on it, I've seen him in my dreams before. He approached me, grinning.

"I thought you had left me here all alone, my lovely Emilia."There was such love that burned in his eyes, pure devotion.

I took an audible breath. Blatantly lying to the stranger."I've been so distracted with the arrangements of Easter, I got lost on the way here."

He laughed, taking my cheek in his hand."Always so distracted Emilia, I should fix that."

He leaned in as I froze, his lips pressed against my forehead."It's quite a lovely day, I thought we could go for a picnic in the fields don't you think? I've arranged for the cooks to prepare us a basket to take."

I couldn't say no, it's like my tongue did not know that word. I ended up riding a horse with the prince or Emilia's husband toward a field, from there you could get a great view of the mountains Henry would speak of the Carpathian Mountains. The history behind it, of a demon who once lived there and the place where Henry's son was imprisoned.

I couldn't keep my eyes from the mountain, I felt a hand brush against my cheek."You seem rather fascinated by Broken Tooth Mountain, Is there an explanation for the sudden interest."

I looked at him, frowning."Those are the Carpathian Mountains, aren't they? The stories of a demon living in there, is it true?"

"They're just tales monks say to scare those."He assured me."There's no such thing as demons living in the mountain, and if that were to be said tale I would slay them before they touched you or our son."

Everything around me changed, I was no longer by the prince but inside the mountain. A creature wearing a black robe walked closer to me."In time Elizabeth the future will unfold, your fate will be told as it was once. The game shall begin, those defy me will suffer in a game."

"Who are you?"I demanded, taking a step back.

He laughed, crushing a skull in his hand."You'll know soon enough when he finds you things you've never known about who you are will unleash."

I opened my eyes gasping for breath, Vincent was sitting by my side mumbling some words. He opened his eyes, placing his hand on my bump.

"Your friend Baltor made sure to delay labor a day or two more."He informed me."You're too weak to stand up right now, for the next few hours stay in bed."

"I had a dream of a prince, why am I dreaming about him so often lately. Seeing visions of a life that never belonged to me?"I urged, desperately."Who is he? Why is he important to me?"

He stood up, brushing my question off."Do not worry, for now, rest Elizabeth. Klaus will come to you soon, he's with Freya and Hayley."

If I was alive, it only meant Elijah had."Is Elijah dead?"

"They can't accept it, Freya tried to."He answered me."He died for no reason at all, Elizabeth the Hollow will be reborn if she hasn't already."

I got out of the bed ignoring Vincent's words, I walked to Klaus's office where I found them standing there. The look on Klaus's face told me everything, they devastation, and pain. I asked the hollow to sacrifice me but instead she sacrificed the only person who kept things in balance, Klaus looked at me.

"You should be resting."His voice monotone, trying to hide the grief in his voice."It isn't good for you."

I ignored his words, glancing at Freya."Where is he?"

"In the necklace, there was a scream from him."She said, clear visible tears in her eyes."Klaus is right you should be resting, you could go into labor soon."

"It doesn't matter if you could use an anchor to find him to bring him back,"I responded. I was dead already, Klaus needed his brother."I'm dying soon, at least make my death worth it."

"No Elizabeth, we will find a way to save you,"Klaus stated, taking my hand as he took me back to his room.

He placed me on the bed, sitting down by my side."You were brave, we will find a way to save you from this. Elijah will come back, he has to."

"You're in denial Klaus, you and I both know it's hours before I'm no longer here."

"No!"He raised his voice, angered."We've thought for us for many years, why give up now?"

I took his hand in mine placing it over my bump."Because it's me or our child, and you know the answer to that. You'll accept it whether you like it or not, our child needs a father. I'll die and I'll be just a memory."

A tear rolled down his cheek, I felt so guilty. I hugged him taking in the scent of his expensive cologne, the one I've grown to love over the years. I loved him, I did but things were changing for the worse. We've fought for our love for years, now this is our ending no matter how much we both fought it.

"Hold on to our memory, to our love but do not bury yourself in pain because you are always and forever one of my greatest love."I whispered, unable to contain the tears rolling down my cheek."Know I'll always be here for you, know I've always loved you and I always will. Always and forever Klaus Mikaelson."

"What will I ever do without you, Elizabeth?"

"You'll make our son a wonderful man, one worthy of it all. Hope will be a woman with the world at her feet and you will be a king, one who will not fall over my death. Because this will make you stronger, you'll end those who are a danger to your family."

I could see Baltor standing by the door frame, Klaus turned around to meet with the man."Would you mind giving me a second with Elizabeth?"

Klaus glared at him, nonetheless gave in."At most 20 minutes, make the most of it."

I didn't want to get into their little spat, I watched as Klaus left before Baltor entered the room. He sat by my side, his expression softens.

"I delayed the labor for a while longer, it could be days before you do."He explained I could see the desperation in his eyes."I want to talk to you about those dreams."

"What is it?"

He sighed, running his hand through his hair."Those dreams have more meaning than you'll ever understand, the man in those dreams he's been searching for you for hundreds of years."

"He wants to kill me?"

He shook his head."No, Bloom, you're the reincarnation of his deceased wife. It seems he might have come too late, or maybe at the right time. You'll understand what I mean soon enough, but all those feelings you're feeling for that man aren't exactly yours but her's or yours in a past life."

"But I was born in Sparx not here."

He nodded."Of course, you were, but a reincarnation does not need any family connection. You're her Bloom, she's you. I've been gone lately only because I needed to know more, I answered questions you will find answers to soon."

My hands fell to my baby."It doesn't matter, I'm going to die soon and his search would have been a lost cause."

"That's where you're wrong."He whispered to himself.

I gave him a look, what did he mean by that?

He pushed me down to lay, placing a blanket over me."Nothing that concerns you. I'll come tomorrow to how you're doing okay? The baby might come sooner if I cannot come Vincent will."

He murmured some words, a sleeping smell as I fell fast asleep soon after. My dreams were only followed by nightmares that consisted of Elijah, the torment, and pain he felt made me feel it. I couldn't do anything since in the dreams I was only a shadow without any course action.

Disclaimer: I do not own TO or WC

Yes, Elijah is dead, at least for now. As for the Dark Wizard, as promised he's back and will be more usual in the next chapters. I stated before that I would not take the course of TO finale because I'm preparing for the new story I have the Title of. I will release the title later this week and if all goes well I will be releasing the story by the end of next week.

I've been giving hints of the mysterious new character. In the essence, Baltor will be a major role in what will take in said story. No matter what or who Bloom choose's as her lover, soulmate, and final love. Baltor will always be a part of her life, someone who will guide her through what will come next. Selene won't be popping up anymore completely for now. You'll see her in the sequel, that will lead up to a fight of Darkness vs. Light

A game of the Undead for one soul. A soul who could either fall into the darkness or show the world what a true ruler is. Bloom in all her right is a ruler, and she will rule with the man she loves by her side. Just to clarify, Klaus and Bloom aren't endgames. You should also see much of Damon and Sky soon. I also promise Flora as a regular in the upcoming sequel and others to come.
