The Vixen & the Fox II

Chapter 266

Isaac saw the man who curled over Davina, his dark auburn hair was stained with blood, his body was broad, and he was torn up, but his arm shimmered as Davina's did. The connecting point between the pair was shimmering brightly. Isaac hissed as Cora finished digging out the bullets, and he looked up at her, her dark hair was wet, the rain was coming down harder and he smiled slightly as he caught her bloody hand. Their fingers entwined as she rested her brow on his as they just released a shuddering breathe of free air. The pup, Rafael, wedged himself between them, which had him smiling as he let his hand run over the boy's curls.

"Go check Davina," he whispered to Cora. Davina had saved them, she hadn't needed to, but she had all the same, and he wanted to make sure the tiny witch was okay. Cora nodded as she pressed her lips to his brow and left to go check.

"What are we going to do now?" Rafael whispered as he hugged Isaac's healing middle. Isaac winced a bit because his body ached, and burned still, however he looked down at the small pup. "I'm not a wolf," he muttered.

"Oh, we'll figure something out, pretty sure you're Cora's at this point," he murmured.

"You'll come home," a new voice said and Isaac looked up at Scott. "You'll all come home."

Isaac didn't openly dispute with the Alpha as he rubbed the pup's back and hugged him close to him.

Elena was shivering violently, and Stefan was too, they were both naked as the day they were born, and she was stunned when someone dropped a jacket around her, which she pulled closer to herself as she shivered. The rain was pouring heavily now, and she saw the people who had survived banning together. There were loud barks, and commands, she was stunned into stillness when Caroline was rushed by her, black goo seemed to be weeping from her eyes, and mouth. Klaus was clinging to her as he demanded help for her. Stefan rushed forward as he looked at Caroline. Elena did not freeze as she rushed forward a step after Stefan, shivering violently as she started examining Caroline.

Vampires, in Elena's experience, weren't very humanlike beyond their immediate appearance, but what ailed them was volatile and dangerous.

Caroline gave a scream, gnashing her fangs which also didn't look like normal vampire fangs, she writhed and screamed. Elena jerked back in surprise because Caroline's fangs were like Klaus' or Tyler's.

"That's not possible," Klaus muttered.

Caroline was crying, sobbing in pain, she didn't seem coherent and Elena could only remember Tyler's violent transformation. Without thinking she just acted; she was a doppelgänger for the first time ever it felt like that was of genuine use as she slit a bit of her hand with a knife she grabbed up and held it against Caroline's lips.

Caroline's fangs, unlike every other vampire Elena had dealt with, were gentle.

Kai had siphoned off a lot of magic from Elijah, so much that the old vampire looked like he was desiccating in the seat, but the black veins that had been snaking over Elijah's arm had been receding to where Kai was touching the vampire. He was careful with how much magic he drew off the old vampire because Elijah Mikaelson was not a bad man, and Kai knew that the Skulk valued the Mikaelsons even if it was only in a peripheral sense. Still Kai siphoned until he could no longer feel the poisonous magic in Elijah, merely a small amount of magic animating the old vampire.

"Uh... I think, I think I got it all," he admitted as he stood, backing away. Freya and Finn were checking over their brother. A hand grabbed his and he looked over at Bonnie who was gripping his hand tightly as she looked at him levelly.
