The Original Tribid

Chapter 2 the originals

'MOTHERR.' I was just meditating when I hear a loud scream in the village. I take a look outside to see what's going on and I can't believe it.

Niklaus decided to go in the woods with Henrik to watch the men turn into wolves. Two go in one comes out, they both came out but one was... 'dead.' It's the only thing I say before running in his direction as fast I can.

Everyone gathers around Henrik. I sit down next to Niklaus looking at the body which is covered in blood. Niklaus looks at me for a second and I see the regret in his eyes.

Everything is happening so fast at that moment. In no time Rebekah, Elijah and Esther are here too.

'What happened?!' Esther asks. 'Wolves,' he says while burning into tears 'I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!'

'Please, there must be a way!' Esther begs while she looks at me and another witch named Ayana that lives in the village.

I know something for sure, I'm not gonna tell her we can't do anything anymore. He's dead, I can sense it. Even if we could try to get Henrik back it wouldn't work, the spirits aren't letting us.

Esther looks at Ayana and she gives the answer for me. 'The spirits will not give us a way Esther.' Esther looks from Henrik to the witch. 'Your boy is gone.'

My eyes fill with tears while looking at Niklaus and Rebekah. I hear Esther screaming, I feel my tears running down my cheeks.

I've lost a friend, to death. Is this how it's gonna be? All my friends will die and I will be all alone. There was something I was sure of. The peace between us and the werewolves was gone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

That evening I went to see Ayana for advice. Beside Esther, Ayana knows of my witch powers. She doesn't have to know about the werewolf and the vampire ability, although I think she already knows. We are not called witches for nothing.

We talked a bit and soon after that Esther and Mikeal walked in the cabin. They came to ask Ayana for a favor, they didn't even knew I was here. After a bit of talking I was allowed to listen.

'You must call upon the spirits before the full moon.' Mikeal ends his story telling Ayana what to do.

'I will not,' she answers 'it is a crime against nature.'

'Ayana we already lost too much, we cannot lose anymore,' Esther tries. 'The spirits can help us find a way to protect our children.'

Mikeal goes on about the abilities they could have just like me. My mother did it once with a little help from other witches so it clearly was possible. Mikeal goes on. 'Our family could live forever.'

'At what cost,' Ayana interrupts him 'this magic you speak of breeds consequences. This is the makings of a plague Esther, the spirits will turn on you.'

'Please Ayana,' Esther begs her.

Ayana shakes her head. 'I will have no part in it,' and after that she leaves.

I'm still in the cabin together with Mikeal and Esther, but wait.Why wouldn't I help Esther? My friends will never die, just like me. I won't be lonely anymore, this is like a dream come true!

Mikeal starts the conversation again 'If she will not protect our family, then it is in your hands alone my love.' He totally forgot I'm here!

'Hello? I'm still here you know.' I try to get the attention. They both look at me in surprise I said something. 'Ayana may be a very strong witch but I'm almost as strong as her, maybe even stronger. And every day I get older, I get a tiny bit stronger.' I end my speech confidently.
