Lady Paulson one shots...pt.2

Coven pt.4

Your POV:

I'm in the library with Zoe sifting through a few books on vampires when Cordelia walks in. I don't look up from the page I'm reading but I feel her eyes burning holes into the side of my head. I look up and meet her gaze "hey Cordelia" she's holding a neatly folded shirt in her hands. "I brought you another shirt in case you wanted to get out of that bloodied one" she says blushing lightly. I place the book down then walk over to her. I grab the shirt and kiss her cheek "thank you"

I begin removing my corset placing it on the table, then begin undoing the buttons of my bloodied shirt. I keep an eye on Cordelia as I remove the article of clothing and place it on the table. Cordelias eyes roam my exposed chest and stomach briefly before clearing her throat and looking away. I smirk and begin putting on the thin black button up.

Just to tease, I ask her if she can finish buttoning up the shirt so I can fix my corset over. Her slender fingers gently begin buttoning the shirt. Her shaky hands occasionally brushing the skin on my chest and stomach. "Can you hold the shirt down please" she nods and does as I asked as I place the corset around my waist tying it closed. "Thank you" she swallows and nods her head.

"I found one y/n" Zoe says from across the room. "Let me see" she points to a page "here it says if a vampire were to bite a witch her powers will be temporarily passed for 72hrs. But the witch if strong enough...(she turns the page) will not suffer the effects of a bite." I nod my head "that seems easy enough where's the downside?" Zoe shuffles through the pages "here, this will only work if the witch and vampire in question are in love. They will have to perform a binding ritual,
umm...consummating the transaction though sexual intercourse....The most sensual and intimate form of interaction."

Zoe looks up at me "keep looking there has to be something else" she nods her head and starts searching through the book. Cordelia looks at me "what are you looking for?" I sigh and grab the book I was reading. "Selene told me that Brahms infiltrated another coven here in New Orleans. He murdered all of the witches obtaining their powers in order to over throw the authority of our coven. Selene tried to fight him but he's too strong."

Cordelia takes my hands "I've fought Brahms before he gained these new powers and I barely escaped. I know for a fact if Selene can't even touch him, there's no way I can walk back in there knowing with a flick of his wrist I'm at his mercy...I'd rather die" "y/n-" Cordelia is cut off by Selene storming in "we found your father he's in the living room. He's bad y/n" I stand up and follow Selene.

"Dad!" I kneel on the floor beside him "y/n your alive" I chuckle "you can't get rid of me that easily" he winces in pain "dad what happened?" "Brahms, he-he named me as an enemy of the coven when I denied him my title.  He slaughtered anyone who objected his authority. Fearing for my life I ran after you. I-I'm so sorry for not believing you. Please forgive me my child" I hold his hand "it's okay dad I'm not letting him get away that easy trust me." My dad squeezes my hand "No! No he's too dangerous"

"Look at what he's done! He is a parasite that needs to be exterminated. I will find a way don't worry" I kiss his hand and turn him over to Selene. I storm my way back into the library Cordelia hot in my heels. "Anything?"  Zoe shakes her head no. "They all say just about the same thing. I'm sorry y/n" I groan and slam my hands on the table. "That coven is my family, my home, my birthright! He's slaughtered innocent witches and vampires in cold blood."

I close my eyes and rake my fingers through my hair. I feel tender hands rest on my shoulders. "We will keep looking and find a way" I hear Cordelias soft voice, easing my tension I allow myself to relax. Her hands massage my shoulders before she grabs the book and begins looking through.

"Y/n" I look up at her "there's a way to test if the ritual will work." I read the page "if the vampire and witch want to see if the ritual will work. They should each slice a cut into their hands. Allowing the blood to drip and mix into a silver bowl. If the blood bubbles the ritual will work, if the blood refuses to mix, the ritual will fail."

I look up at Cordelia completely at a loss for words. Simply not wanting to ask her if she wants to perform this sexual ritual with me. I was thinking maybe more Madison I don't really care if she dies after. "Let's do it" Cordelia says seemingly breaking me from my thoughts.

I watch as she grabs a silver bowl then an athame. She looks into my eyes asking if it's ok. I nod, she slices her hand and lets the blood drip into the bowl. I grab the knife and repeat her actions. I take a deep breath as I watch my blood drip down into the bowl.

Like magnets our blood collides into each other. We watch for a while as the blood stays still I huff and begin to walk out. "Wait! Look" Zoe says pointing to the bowl. I return and watch as tiny bubbles start to form our blood begins to bubble indicating that the ritual could work.

I look up to Cordelia whose already staring at me. "Are you sure you want to do this? I don't wanna hurt you" Cordelia simply nods her head "I'm sure" I grab her hand and give it a kiss. "Then let's do this"
