Always and Forever [Book 3]

Lucien Castle

Rachel's POV

Lucien:Exactly

He said that and then he smiled showing all of his teeth. I kept looking at him. I felt like the time stopped and it was just me and him in the whole world. The pray and the predator looking at each other waiting for someone to act. But the problem was: Which one was I?

I needed to find someone, to tell what's happening. Lucien kept looking at me with a smile painted on his face. His teeth whiter than ever. I finally manage dto move. I took a few steps back and when I did Lucien took a few steps towards me.

Lucien:I was wondering if you'd be able to show me around the house?

Rachel :Stay away from me.

I got in the crowd of people who were trying to get out. It was like a river that I couldn't pass to the other side. The people led me outside the house. On the front door. I looked around worried. The people were now gone. I was all alone in the darkness. How did we let this happen? We knew Lucien was in town and he threw a party? I decided to return in the house but when I turned, there he was in front of me.

Lucien :Oh I can't let you get back in there.

Rachel : If you want to live, stay away from me. You don't know what I'm capable of.

Lucien:Actually I do know. I've been watching from afar your whole life. Of course your stupid family didn't understand anything. Neither did you. Because you were spending too much time with my son. By the way where is he? I thought you were together at the party. Did he leave you all alone? Here? With me? What about your family? They enjoy spending their time partying that protect you? I remember this vow you had. Oh yeah. "Always and Forever". Unfortunately, for you, the didn't keep it tonight. Fortunately for me.

He laughed.

Rachel :Don't talk like that about my family.

Lucien:Or what? What are you gonna do Rachel? Kill me? I'll kill you first before you manage to cast your spell with your hands Or scream like a Banshee. Or even run and bite me with your werewolf teeth.

I laughed

Rachel :You know, I don't need to say the words or move my hands to cast a spell. All I need are my eyes. And while you were talking I casted a spell to keep you still.

He tried to move but he couldn't. I walked past him but stopped next to him.

Rachel :Better luck next time.

I said that and returned in my house. I locked the door with my magic and then looked around the house to find someone of my family. I found all of them. Most of them were drunk and others were sleeping. I even yelled at them to wake them up but nothing. I thankfully found Davina who had drunk only water all evening.

Rachel :Oh Davina thank God.

Davina:Rachel, you ok?

Rachel:No I'm not. Guess who decided to show up at the party. Lucien Castle.

She was shocked.

Rachel :Yeah you heard me. After I told everyone to leave he appeared behind me. With a spell I froze him outside. He might be gone by now, but the real problem is that he knows everything about me. He's been watching us the whole time. And now I ask, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?

Davina:Ok, First we need to bring everyone back to reality.

She casted a spell and in a few seconds everyone where awake, asking what had happened.

Rachel:Lucien showed up at the party. He almost managed to kill me.

Everyone:What?!

Rachel:I have a plan. I can defeat him but first I need to know everything about him.

Klaus: What's your plan?

Rachel :I'll tell you if you tell me about Lucien first.

Klaus :Alright, I'll tell you.

In the beggining, we were so naive. Our mother had made us into beasts that fed on blood. But immortality was beyond our grasp. Compulsion a trick we had yet to learn. All we knew was a fear of being hunted. That, and a terrible hunger. So we ran. As a family. And when we needed to, as a family, we fed. Kol and Finn wanted us to split up. But we had sweared a vow. "Always and Forever". Family above all. We were attacking again and again. Carriage after carriage. Until we found that carriage. After we killed all of them we decided to wear their clothes and go to the place they were heading. Elijah heard something. Lucien. He was human then. He said to us that we shouldn't kill him so he could teach us everything about the town there and act like nobles. We agreed of course. In the castle there was this girl. Aurora. Lucien was in love with her but Aurora had eyes only for me. Me and Aurora were spending time in the church of the town and one day Lucien found us. Aurora had also a brother. Tristan. Someone had told Tristan where Aurora was and then him with some guards entered the church. I wanted to take Lucien and get out of there but he didn't want to come with me. I left and Tristan caught Lucien. He tortured him for 2 days. The third day I went to find Lucien. He was bleeding a lot. So I gave him my blood so he could heal. After that Lucien thought he turned into a vampire too but we all know that to turn into a vampire you have to die. He went to find Tristan to take revenge but when he did...

Rachel :Tristan killed him.

Klaus: And then he turned into a vampire. My first vampire. Rebekah's was Aurora and Elijah's was Tristan. Many years ago Lucien returned. He found me. So as Aurora and Tristan. They said that they wanted to prevent a prophesy that us three would die. To keep the long story short, I trusted Lucien, killed Tristan and locked Aurora in a magical cage. After Lucien helped Aurora escape I understood that I shouldn't ever trusted him. All he wanted was power. He kidnapped Freya and brought her to Mystic Falls. Where everything started. Where the Mikaelsons turned to vampires. He turned himself into a beast. He was a hybrid like me, but his werewolf bite could be able to kill even an original. I hunted him in order to kill him. After I did we faught and Freya casted a very powerful spell that turned him again in an ordinary vampire. Then I killed him.

Rachel :But how is he now back?

Klaus:Apparently he has a witch to help him track us down and do witch stuff. The witch must have brought him to life too.

Rachel :Do we know if he still has the powers of a beast?

Klaus:He does have them but thanks to Freya we have a weapon that can kill him.

I looked at my hands thinking. Then I turned to face them all.

Rachel:I know what to do. We must have to wait til Lucien appears again.
