𝑨𝑺 𝑰𝑺𝑨𝑩𝑬𝑳𝑳𝑬 𝑹𝑨𝑵 throught the forest, she began to hear chanting. She looked around for the source and found over fifty witches around her. They all looked so familiar. They were from the Gemini coven. The same coven that put her and Kai through hell.

Belle tried to run but found herself unable to move. When she looked down at her feet she saw that vines were covering them and they quickly started to make themselves higher on her body.

Looking towards the witches ''STOP!'' She hopelessly yelled. The vines then started to go back down making her feel a spark of hope but that quickly dissipated when she felt an excruciating pain in her head. She yelled out in pain hoping it would stop but it didn't. It only got worse.

''Why are you doing this to me.'' She managed to say. ''I did nothing to you.'' She mumbled lowly she felt as if she was going to pass out.

''Your right.'' Hearing the familiar voice Belle snapped her head in the direction where it came from and felt the pain slowly subsiding. ''You did nothing to us.''

When she saw the face standing in front of her she couldn't help but feel her heartbreak. ''D-dad'' She mumbled in disbelief. ''W-Why''

''Because you're an abomination. And you know in the Gemini coven we can't let abominations live.'' Joshua laughed as he looked at his daughter.

''First, you take Kai away from me-

''Then I shall take you, your kids and maybe even that hybrid that you use to like.'' Joshua smiled sadistically when he saw her start to cry. He then walked towards her a held her face in his face as he looked at the tears streaming down her face. Chuckling bitterly he slapped her before saying ''Pathetic.'' He looked towards the witches and said ''Finish it.''

The witches then started chanting again making Belle yell in pain once again. "𝑷𝑳𝑬𝑨𝑺𝑬 𝑫𝑶𝑵'𝑻 𝑫𝑶 𝑻𝑯𝑰𝑺 𝑻𝑶 𝑴𝑬" As she felt the pain intensify she yelled out "𝑫𝑨𝑫 𝑷𝑳𝑬𝑨𝑺𝑬" And for a moment when she thought he was going to help her he just walked away leaving her to suffer.

As the chanting got louder the more Belle felt like her heart was getting ripped out of her chest. ''Please.'' Mumbled weakly but it was no use they weren't going to stop. So she made peace with it. She made peace with the fact that she was never going to see her kids again and that she was never going to be able to tell 𝒉𝒊𝒎 how she truly felt.

Belle felt one last burst of pain making her yell out before finally, it happened. She was put out of her misery. Her body dropped to the floor with a gaping hole in her chest where her heart used to be.

Belle gasped awake holding her chest as she sat up. Much to her relief, she was in her room.

'It was just a dream' She thought but in no way did it feel like a dream.

Her head snapped towards her door when she heard a knock. She mumbled a swift 'come in' before Alora and Jace came into her room and made their way to her bed. ''You seem off are you okay.'' Alora sees her mother's scarred appearance.

''I'm fine nothing to worry about.'' The twins didn't believe her but they still brushed it off when Belle gave them each a kiss on their head before they fell asleep next to her.

A man stood in a small house in Portland, Oregon his gaze was on his window. ''Do you think it worked?'' A witch asked him.

''Of course, it did'' The man replied making the witch look at him doubtfully.

''How can you be so sure?'' He asked as he watched the man turn his gaze to him.

''Are you doubting me?'' The angered expression on the man's face was enough to scare the witch.

''N-no father. I just wanted to be sure that everything was right when the time comes.'' Joey Parker stuttered as he stared at his father Joshua Parker.

''Good. Run along now. You have work to do.'' Joshua said firmly making Joey exit the room.

𝑲𝑳𝑨𝑼𝑺 𝑴𝑰𝑲𝑨𝑬𝑳𝑺𝑶𝑵 sat on one of the many couches in his living room with a glass of scotch in his hand as he tough back of what happened back at the school.

He couldn't believe Isabelle had kids. It didn't make sense to him. Isabelle would never cheat on him so who was the father of the twins. Couldn't be Alaric. His thoughts were soon interrupted when Elijah walked into the room.

''Brother, I sure hope you aren't planning something.'' Elijah watched his brother with a bottle of scotch.

''Do you think so lowly of me Elijah,'' Klaus said as he shifted his gaze to Elijah.

''Yes.'' Klaus let out a bitter chuckle. Of course, he was planning something he always was.

''Well if you must know Elijah. I am planning something.''

''Niklaus may I remind you that we came here for the sake of Hope and her living a life as normal as possible. So Niklaus whatever you are planning I recommend you leave it.''

Klaus once again chuckled and said ''Oh brother I only intend on getting back what's mine. And in case you didn't know that's Isabelle. I sure do hope you can understand that I will do anything to get her back.'' And with that Niklaus left.

Elijah had hoped that Klaus could have forgotten the moments he had shared with Isabelle before he got to town to break the curse but it seems not. He just hoped any underlying feelings he had for Belle would go away soon enough.
