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

Chapter 5 ~ Trickery

"So what are we doing, Raven?" Katherine questioned, tapping her heel impatiently on the marble flooring.

"Yes, what is your plan luv?" Klaus questioned.

Raven fell silent for a moment. The truth was, she hadn't realised that Klaus would use Anita to cloak Rebekah and now, it was clear to her, that no one but Katherine was on her side.

She vamped over to Anita, making the witch fall back against the wall in fear, grasping her beads tightly.

"How could you help them?" Raven questioned, flashing her fangs. Her voice breaking a little, as her emotions creeped up.

Anita shook her head and tried, desperately, to mutter a spell but Raven's hand pressed against her mouth, making it impossible for the witch to speak magic.

"She killed my mother Anita" Raven pleaded, feeling nothing but betrayal.

Anita's eyes went from frightened to dismay after hearing these words.

"You didn't know" Raven deduced, removing her hand from the witches mouth.

She then turned to Klaus and Elijah and folded her arms.

"You tricked her into doing a cloaking spell because you knew, if you told her Rebekah killed my mother, she would never help you" Raven realised.

Elijah looked away in shame.

Anita clung to her beads, behind Raven and began chanting under her breath.

Klaus heard this and vamped to her side, grabbing her neck and threatening her.

Raven vamped behind him, pressing the white oak stake against his back whilst Katherine vamped towards to Elijah to stop him from intervening.

Klaus released a small laugh and turned his head to the side to speak to Raven.

"You've got the stake, too bad you cannot use it-"

Raven dug it deeper into his skin, drawing the slightest amount of blood.

"-It would kill you" Klaus reminded.

"See, I've been thinking-" Raven admitted "I'm half witch. Maybe, if you died, I wouldn't follow, because my witch side would still be alive. I might lose my vampirism but then, I could get Kol to turn me. And if I turned again and lost my witch powers, well I'd still be immortal"

Upon hearing that Raven might be willing to risk her life on killing Klaus, he got nervous as the stake pressed deeper into his skin.

"Raven, if you kill him, I'll die" Katherine warned.

"A price I'm willing to pay" Raven shrugged, to Katherine's horror.

Katherine attempts to vamp over but Raven stops her with her magic, creating an invisible barrier between them.

"You harm the witch and you're dead Klaus" Raven warned.

Klaus released his grip, allowing Anita to continue her spell.

"The cloaking spell has been lifted. I'm terribly sorry for your loss Raven" Anita mumbled before shuffling away back to her altar room.

Raven lifted the stake from Klaus' spine and vamped out, dragging Katherine behind her.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Katherine demanded as the two stood face to face in the middle of the woods.

"Relax, you're not dead" Raven pointed out.

"But you were willing to risk my life?" Katherine snarled, feeling betrayed.

"Katherine, I needed Klaus to bleed in order to do a new locator spell on Rebekah, I was never going to kill him" Raven admitted, presenting the blood soaked stake.
