For All My Love And Rage |Originals AU

4. Monsters and Saviors

Freya was about to begin the spell when they walked in. A dreadful chill took over the room with each step they took. Of course, part of her was glad to see them. How could she not be? They were her family too.

Elijah, Kol and Rebekah had a very different opinion on the matter, it's true. Although, considering their dire situation, their cries of protest and rage were short-lived.

Besides, Hope was alright in Mikael's arms. For God's sake, she was laughing! How could they not be thankful?

Yet, as the Mikaelsons siblings gazed at each other, they all realized their eyes were asking the same question: Are they truly here, or have we all gone mad because of the poisons and curses?

In Freya's case, such question weighted even more. If she had lost her mind, how in hell's name could she hope to preform the spell to save them? If they were a product of her tired mind, her family would perish.

Dragging his feet, Finn laid an unconscious Hayley on a sofa next to Elijah. He gave his older sister a small smile as he collapsed in a chair next to her. His eyes still swept through the room before darkness devoured his vision.

While the Mikaelsons watched their brother pass out, Mikael carefully laid Hope in her crib. Turning to face the children's enquiring gazes, he smiled. Raising his chin, he stepped forward.

"Children," he said solemnly, his eyes analyzing their perplexed expressions.

At the sound of his voice, their faces contorted into a mix of rage and fear. No matter how old they are, he always terrified them.

Their scared eyes made him sick. He sighed, begging the lump in his throat to go away before the children asked their questions.

"It does not matter," he reassured himself quietly, "I'm not here to be liked," the thought crossed his mind, "For fuck's sake, I wouldn't know what to do if they liked me..." a smiled shaping his lips, he took one more step towards the children.

Tonight, he would save the Mikaelsons. If it was the last thing he did on this Earth, then so be it. For all his love and rage, he would burn the world if he had to. Never again would that wretched creature touch his children.

A/N:

Hey so today we have a double update again! Thank you so much for all the support this story is getting!

I actually have two things I need to ask you guys:

1) Are the chapters too short? They are a lot shorter than what i usually write. Would you like longer chapters?

2) I originally planned to have this story end at 10 chapters. But since that, I had some really cool ideas for a second part/ sequel.

So the question is: would you rather have a sequel (as in a whole new book after I finish this) or would you rather just have this book be a lot longer (like 20 + chapters)?

Please let me know! And leave your thoughts about the chapters too! It really helps me write!
