Always and Forever

Chapter Nine: The War-I Part-2

There laid knocked out Rebekah alongside the stiff, almost dead Henrik. The man who leads The Equilibrium was fighting the last woman left among the people protecting Esther, Rebekah, and Henrik. And outside on the battleground, Elijah, Finn were fighting alongside Mikael; killing people continuously but they were outnumbered. Niklaus and Kol were knocked out.

A painful scream out of the woman fighting with the man grabbed Esther's attention who was till then just whispering with her eyes closed. She opened her eyes to see the woman's detached head in the man's head. He rid his hands out of the head and the head fell. The man looked at the determined; enraged Esther with a foul; deceiving grin.

A few minutes before

Mikael stood in front of the confused Kol and took the hand of the attacker coming for Kol and sprung the attacker in the air so fast that he detached it from his body; hence, killing the attacker.

"Boys, fight!"

And so Mikael and his sons formed a circle and started fighting the Equilibrium.

"Mum!" screamed Rebekah.

Everyone looked at Rebekah and then at the man who arrived at their doorstep with an evil smile.

"He must be seeing an illusion of an old room." One of the people said silently.

The man's grin grew wider at that. He started walking towards them. He was now standing almost two steps away. He whispered,

"Tayata, now." Within a second, The salt circle broke out of shape and spread in the air.

"Let's stop being cowards, shall we?"

Mikael and his sons were at no rest. Just killing brutally, rampantly. Tayata with other witches cast a spell that made Niklaus get on his knees in pain in his head. It felt like a siren was being played in his head perpetually. He held his head and screamed in pain.

"Brother!..." Elijah was about to help Niklaus but Mikael intervened.

"No, Elijah! Stay. The witches are doing this. You keep on fighting!"

"But Niklaus, father!"

"Leave Niklaus! I said keep on fighting, so keep on fighting!"

Elijah kept on fighting.

Only one woman was left to protect Esther, Rebekah, and Henrik. Before the man could do anything else, Henrik stood in front of them,

"No, I am the only man left here and I am not going to let you hurt anyone else now!"

The man laughed at this.

"And who are you supposed to be?"

"Henrik Mikaelson."

"Oh, you're one of the two who chose mortality for five years, am I wrong? (to Rebekah) And you're Rebekah Mikaelson! And the woman behind whispering something is your mom, Esther. That's why you are alone here with these people protecting you! I realize this now!"

"That's dumb of you," Henrik commented.

"Aren't you a little too weak to be commenting on me?" the man snapped.

"Aren't you a little too old to snap at a child?" Henrik snapped back.

"One word more and I'll be ripping your heart out."

"Do it! I am not afraid."

"Henrik don't....." Rebekah was about to do something but he instantly swiped the sword across Henrik's stomach. Henrik fell on his knees and then on the floor. Rebekah was about to go for his aid but the man slapped her and swiped the sword on her back. And Rebekah fell as same alongside Henrik.
