Origins of Magic

Chapter 23 - The Best of The Worst

"Primrose," Kayne said with panted breath as he walked into a hotel room within New Orleans where he had arranged to meet Magnus and Rose.
"Kayne," Rose replied as she rushed over to hug her newly revived brother, holding him in her tight embrace as she hoped to never suffer losing him again. "I'm so glad our brother did something right for once!"
"Okay now you two have caught up can we get to where the hell the Mikaelson family is so we can end their miserable existences before we end the rest of their family?" Magnus asked them both making it clear he did not have time to waste on family reunions.
"I told you Hope's off-limits," Rose told her oldest brother Magnus as she broke off her hug with her younger brother Kayne. "I made a deal with her, and she's done nothing to piss me off as of yet so until then she lives."
"As does our sister Bella." Kayne chimed in. "If we are really doing this, killing the Mikaelson's, then Bella, her baby, and Marcel are off-limits too."
"Fine." Magnus agreed reluctantly.
"Not a chance in hell!" Rose shouted at Kayne. "She was all ready to play happy families with the very same family who slaughtered her brother, she needs to pay for everything she has done to us all."
"Bella did what she had to do for her child her loyalties are within her future kid, and she has every right to protect our niece or nephew with everything she has got. Our sister wants nothing to do with this war on either side of it if we are truly her siblings then we should respect that and allow her to live whatever life she chooses." Kayne argued with his sister, making it clear he did not blame Bella's decisions, and neither should they.
"Kayne is right," Magnus stated, surprising both Rose and Kayne by agreeing with Kayne. "Annabella has betrayed more than anyone ever has but she is still our sister and that child she is carrying is our family too. We should protect the unborn baby and allow Bella a pass from this war it is what is right."
"Since when did you become all team family? It was not too long ago you were ready to kill us all." Rose snapped at Magnus, suspicious of his sudden turnaround.
"It's the child, isn't it?" Kayne asked his brother, realizing the truth behind Magnus' sudden interest in reuniting their family. "It was pretty obvious you wanted the demons released just as much as you wanted us both free from that realm, but I could not work out why you suddenly wanted to be part of the Black family again. Bella's child, the firstborn from any of us meaning that child's power is yet unknown but with an upgraded original being its father that power is bound to beyond anything we could imagine...you do not care about this war nor do you care about your family you just want us all to kill each other so it's easier for you to get your hands on what you really want...Bella's child."
"You're wrong Kayne, yes I want that child to be a part of our family, and yes I am highly intrigued by the power it may wield but I do not want you or any of my siblings to die in order to get my hands on that child," Magnus said, denying Kayne's accusations. "The Mikaelsons must fall so we can truly rise but when I say we I mean us all."
"Well, I'm in whether we wind up kidnapping that baby or not I'm still in." Rose declared making it clear to her brothers she was ready for all forms of revenge towards everyone who had ever wronged her.
"I'm out! In fact, I was never truly in but now I am truly out." Kayne confessed before raising his hand in the air, moving it in a circle swiftly, and using his magic to force his siblings into a deep sleep, their unconscious bodies quickly falling to the hotel room floor, as Kayne realized what he had to do next.
