Raven Anastasia Cromwell ~ The Vampire/Witch hybrid ~ Part 2

Chapter 2 ~ Forming alliances

Raven marched up the patio steps and bust the doors off the hinges of the Mikaelson house, with her magic.

Just as she set foot inside, Elijah appeared in front of her.

"Move, Elijah" Raven pleaded impatiently, scouring the inside of the house for Klaus or Rebekah.

"We will not allow you to hurt our sister" Elijah stood tall against Raven.

"Elijah, I wanted to be like you. I loved you, admired you. But now, standing against me, siding with the bitch who has continuously ruined any source of happiness I've ever had...you disgust me" Raven looked Elijah up and down in disapproval.

"I do give my most sincere apologies Raven. Rebekah should never have stooped so low as to hurt your mother but I cannot let you kill her. She is family" Elijah pleaded.

"And my mother was my family!" Raven gritted her teeth, as Elijah realised she was still feeling the slightest emotion.

"Always and forever, right?" she continued "Well, I'm just going to make that 'forever'...a little shorter. Don't worry though, I know you're a man that likes to live up to his word so you...fighting for her now...you've kept your end of the promise" Raven smiled.

"I'm afraid you'll have to go through me" Elijah warned.

Raven's smile faded "Then I will" she snarled, digging the white oak stake through his chest.

Elijah gasped in pain and fell to the ground, his skin rippling a dull grey.

Raven pulled the stake out and stepped over his body and into the house.

"REBEKAH?" She yelled, holding her arms out wide "Come face me, you coward"

Kol vamped into the doorway but stopped dead in his tracks when he saw Raven wielding the white oak stake and Elijah's body, collapsed in the doorway.

"Kol" Raven greeted turning to him before he had time to flee.

"Darlin, you don't wanna hurt me" Kol laughed nervously, holding his hands up.

"You're right, I don't" she vamped into his face, pressing the stake against his chest "So tell me where your sister is and I won't have to" she smirked.

"I honestly don't know" Kol stuttered. Raven had a habit of making Kol scared, which was impressive considering Kol was a psychopath, who hardly feared anyone.

Raven sighed, stroking the stake across his cheek as he quivered slightly "I believe you Kol" she nodded, walking away from him.

Kol took a sigh of relief and walked over to Elijah.

"You missed his heart, you know?" Kol told Raven.

"I know" she replied "He was always good to me so I'll spare him" she smiled faintly, remembering all the times Elijah helped her.

"You seem...different" Kol gulped.

"Apparently, I turned my humanity off when Rebekah followed us to Nevada and murdered my mother" she explained as Kol stood, wide eyed.

"I'm sorry, I had no idea" he gave a sincere apology "So you want revenge?"

Raven turned to him and looked him up and down seductively "Yes and everyone has stood in my way until now...but not you"

Kol smiled but was a bit cautious when Raven came closer "I understand revenge" he nodded.

"That's why I like you so much" she leaned in, talking inches away from his mouth.

Kol, breaking under the tension, kissed her passionately before the two vamped upstairs to his bedroom, tearing each other's clothes off as they went.

Meanwhile,

Elijah bolted up, examining his hand as it slowly turned back to his normal skin tone.

"She has the white oak stake, Niklaus" he warned his brother, showing the hole in his shirt.

"Then there's only one thing we can do" Klaus sighed, looking over at Rebekah as she finally started to regain consciousness.

Klaus helped her up and fixed her hair "You have caused quite a number of problems for us, sister"

Rebekah smiled smugly and brushed herself off.

"But you shouldn't have messed with Raven or her mother" Klaus whispered threateningly down her ear before shoving a dagger into her heart.

"Nik" Rebekah choked before collapsing on the floor.

Elijah picked up her body and laid her to rest in a coffin in the darkest part of the basement.

"I'm sorry sister. It is to keep you safe and...to punish you for your dastardly actions" Elijah patted her coffin lid solemnly.

"Good riddance, I say" Klaus huffed returning upstairs but stopping as he hears strange noises.

"Do you hear that Elijah?" he asked, as the sound became clearer. His face dropped with disappointment. "Seems we don't have to worry about her killing Kol"

"Brother-" Elijah tried to comfort him but Klaus had already vamped away.

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

Klaus barged into the door as Raven lay on top of Kol, her back completely bare.

Raven outstretched her palm, sending Klaus to his knees.

Klaus held his head and panted in horror as his eyes darted around the room and yet he could not see.

"Don't you know, it's polite to knock?" Raven berated, standing half naked in front of a temporarily blinded Klaus.

"What have you done to him?" Kol sat up from his bed in confusion and unease.

"Rendered him blind. I'm not sure how long it'll last but it will serve him right for interrupting a very steamy session" Raven pulled on her shirt and crouched down towards Klaus, gently lifting his head up to face her.

His eyes were clouded white and he blinked in fear.

"Don't be jealous 'luv' " she whispered, kissing him on the forehead.

She and Kol both pulled on the remainder of their clothes and Raven held the white oak stake tightly in her grip.

Klaus had gotten to his feet by now and was pressed in the corner, anxiously waiting for his sight to return.

"You feel this?" Raven teased, dragging the stake across his chest as he panted in fear.

"I could end you, right now. Do you see how powerless you are?" she began to laugh "Oh wait, of course you can't" she traced the stake up his neck and then back down along his waist band.

"Goodbye Klaus" she spoke softly in his ear before waving a cheeky goodbye at Kol.

Elijah appeared at the door just as Raven tried to leave.

"Your brother might need some glasses" Raven jokingly warned.

"Raven, this isn't you. You've turned cruel. You're reminding me of someone that I have fought so hard to forget" Elijah revealed suddenly piquing Raven's interest.

"You mean, Katherine Pierce?" Raven folded her arms with intrigue.

"Katerina Petrova was a cunning woman. She manipulated many men and women. You should be careful not to turn into her" he advised.

"She sounds pathetic. Where is she now? Dead?" Raven questioned, laughing.

"No, Katerina is very much alive. Probably terrorizing the people of New York" Elijah added, without thinking.

Raven grinned "I've always wanted to go to New York"

Before Elijah had time to realise what he had done, Raven had long gone.

She knew that Katherine was still alive, she just didn't know where she was and if Raven was out looking for revenge against a Mikaelson, she knew that Katherine would be eager to help.
