The Never Ending Love- N.M {1}

Only 5

Stefan walked into the Boarding House only to hear blaring music, with Astrid & Klaus of the couch. Stefan flipped a remote in his hand before completely turning the volume down by a great amount.

"What do you want?"   "Shouldn't we be asking you that? The hybrids have left Mystic Falls and yet, you still hold our family hostage. What else do you desire for us to have our family back?"  "Well, ahem, see, Klaus...Astrid...I'm not negotiating."  "You realise holding them indefinitely is the same as dropping them in the ocean." Klaus told the youngest vampire in the room.  "No, no. You leave Mystic Falls then give me a call in a few years...and we'll talk."  "I'm going to grant you one...final chance. Let's make a deal."  "Or what? You make one move and I will drop-"  "That's right. Crazy Stefan. How's that working out for you? Any friends left?" The hybrid laughed, glancing at his wife, who held a finger to her lips, stifling her laugh.

At the Mystic Grill, Klaus called one of his hybrids, Daniel. "How's life on the road?" He asked.  "Scenic. How's life in Mystic Falls without any hybrids?" The sired hybrid responded, as Astrid walked into her husband's view and sat down in a bar stool next to him.  "Boring, for now."   "If you want any of us back, just say the word."   "There's no need. We've been making friends with the town's civil servants. There's a deputy that's awfully chatty, but useful none the less."  "You mean she flirts with you." Astrid muttered under her breath.  A smirk was sent her way, and she just stuck up her middle finger, before drinking the remainder of Klaus' alcohol.  "You clear on what you need to do?" Klaus talked into the phone, finishing up the conversation.  "I've got it covered." Daniel answered, before ending the call.

"That was mine."  "I'm pretty sure you could order another one. It's not the end of the world, is it?" She retorted playfully.

As Astrid entered the witch house she heard Damon and Klaus talking further into the abandoned building. "A hundred dead witches have a thousand living descendants." Before he screamed out in pain. "Enough." She slowly spoke to the witches as they relented in their pain infliction spell. "I will kill all of them myself. Starting with Bonnie Bennett. All we need...Is our coffins." She spoke dangerously low.

The concealment spell faded and 5 coffins appeared in front of her. But, her triumphant smile turned into a frown as she noticed the 6th one was nowhere to be found. The one sealed with powerful magic. She turned to him, "Where's the sixth?"  "Well, uh, it's not here, that's for sure."  "Not in the mood for vaguery. Where.Is.It?" She said pinning him against the wall, showing her fangs.  "Well, Bonnie gave us the heads up. I didn't have enough time to get all six. But, I did have time to get one." She pushed him against the wall, making him fall before snarling, "I will torture you, until you're a writhing, bleeding, mass of blood, bones and flesh, and then I will end your life."

Sorry. Same rules apply. I know you want your family back. But, something tells me you want what's in that coffin a lot more."  Astrid looked at her husband and she smirked before speeding over to Damon and viciously breaking his neck, before the two left.

"You've been feeling guilty."   "No, I'm fine."  "See, you say that and then you explode and get angry at me ultimately."  "Ok, so maybe, I'm feeling a little guilt-ridden about daggering Elijah all those months ago. I know he's not going to attempt to kill me, but he's going to be angry."  As they stopped walking in front of the newly renovated mansion, "Why don't you go and have a hot shower and relax."  "Fine." She hesitantly gave in before walking up the stairs to the bathroom connected to their bedroom.

When she stepped out of the hot shower, she heard a crash from downstairs. She quickly got into presentable clothes, before speeding down the stairs. What she saw...Took her aback. It was Elijah and Nik fighting it out but they stopped as her presence was realised. "Astrid."   "Elijah. Have you told him?" She asked her husband, wondering if her brother-in-law knew the real reason why he wasn't woken up earlier. When he shook his head, Elijah began to glance at the couple. "Tell me what, exactly?"  "Mikael's dead. I killed him." She said bluntly, fixing up the room with a quick wave of her wand, watching the room place itself back together.

"What did you say?"  She sighed, "I killed Mikael with his own weapon. We never have to run ever again. Got it?"  She looked to her left to see Kol's coffin opened, with his dagger removed from his chest. Klaus swiftly pushed the dagger into his heart again, before facing Elijah.  "There are things you do not know about our past, Elijah. Our mother's death, things I never wanted you to know. But, I'm ready to tell you now..."
