Chapter 14

Chapter 14
A Miracle Child

Andrea had been pacing around the room for hours, her mind racing with fear, panic and worry.

There were so many things that could go wrong with Sophie's plan. She was terrified, she wouldn't be alive to see the result.

"Get up" Agnes ordered.

"I'm already up love" she quipped back.

"Klaus is here, come on" she ordered again.

Andrea felt something run down her spine. "You are so dead" Andrea chuckled, following the elder witch.

She walked through the cemetery, with a group of witches, until they reached another crypt, Klaus, Elijah and Sophie all stood within it and she could feel the anger radiating around him.

"Klaus," she said, her voice shaking as she, stared at him, she watched his anger fall away into concern, at the sight of her. She gulped down her fear, staring at the original. "You need to listen to them" she pleaded.

He stared at her for a moment before a cynical chuckle fell through his lips. "You're all out of your minds, if you think you can force me here, imprison her and expect me not to rip your heads off at the very sight before me"  he snarled.

"Marcel may be able to keep us from practising real magic in this town but as keepers of the balance, we still know when nature has cooked up something new" Sophie declared. "For example, I have a special gift. Of sensing when a girl is pregnant."

His expression was suddenly unreadable at those words. "What" he muttered.

Andrea slowly lifted her head to look at Klaus. "I know it's impossible ..."

"What are you saying?" he demanded.

"Niklaus" Elijah, said calmly. "The girl is carrying your child."

Klaus stared at her, unable to say a single word as a gasp fell through his lips. Andrea just stared at him, pleading with him to believe her. Begging him, to not hate her for what they had done.

She was terrified.

"No" he shook his head. "It's impossible" he insisted. "Vampires can not procreate!"

"But werewolves can" Sophie interjected. "Magic made you a vampire, but you were born a werewolf. You're the original hybrid. The first of your kind. And this pregnancy ... is one of nature's loopholes" she explained.

He whirled around, to look at her. "Do you believe this?" Klaus asked, gritting his teeth. "Are you telling me, you really believe that you're carrying some miracle, hybrid child!" he exclaimed.

"It makes sense" she muttered. "Were both hybrids anyway, why shouldn't we be able to make another?"

"My sister gave her life to perform the spell she needed to confirm this pregnancy" Sophie declared. "Because of Jane-Anne's sacrifice, the lives of this girl and her baby are now controlled by us."

Andrea looked to Elijah to see the realisation passing through him as well. They were going to kill her if Klaus didn't drop his pride. And there wasn't much hope of that.

"If you don't help us take down Marcel, so help me, Andrea won't live long enough to see her first maternity dress" Sophie threatened.

"Sophie" Andrea warned.

"Enough of this" Elijah declared. "If you want Marcel dead, I'll do it myself."

"No, we can't" Sophie persisted. "Not yet. We have a clear plan that we need to follow, and there are rules."

Klaus slowly turned back around, to look at the New Orleans witch. "How dare you commanded me" he stated. "Threaten me! With what you perceive to be my weaknesses! I won't hear any more lies!" he screamed, heading towards the door.

"Niklaus!" Elijah yelled. He stared at his brother for a moment before saying one word, "Listen."

Klaus concentrated his hearing and heard the slow yet clear, faint second heartbeat within Andrea, and the look on his face, the tears brimming in his eyes broke her heart, into two.

"Klaus" she whispered. "Please" she begged.

"No" Klaus declared, marching out of the cemetery.

Elijah followed him, refusing to let him go.

Klaus matched down the street, trying to steady his breathing, he couldn't get the thought of her dead out of his mind and he couldn't bear another moment of her being hung in front of him like a prized jewel.

"Niklaus" Elijah called. "It's a gift. It's your chance. It's our chance."

"To what?" Klaus shrugged.

"To start over" Elijah declared. "Take back everything we've lost, everything that was taken from us. Niklaus, our own parents came to despise us. Our family was ruined, we were ruined. And since then, all that you have ever wanted- all that we have ever wanted, was a family."

Klaus moved closer to his brother, staring him down. "I will not be manipulated with her" he swore.

"So they're manipulating you. So what? With them, this girl and her child, your child, live" he declared.

"I'm gonna kill every last one of them" Klaus scoffed.

"Then what, you return to Mystic Falls as the hated one, the evil hybrid. Is it so important to you that people quake with fear at the sound of your name?" Elijah asked.

"People quake with fear because I have the power to make them afraid" Klaus snapped back. "What will this child offer me? Will it guarantee me power?" he asked.

"Family is power, Niklaus" Elijah replied.

"Love, loyalty, that's power. This is what we swore to one another 1000 years ago before life tore away what little humanity you had left. Before ego, before anger, before paranoia, created in this person before me. Someone, I can bearly even recognize my own brother" he declared.

"This is us, the original family" he stated, laying a hand on Klaus' shoulder. "And we remain together, always and forever. There is a girl in that cemetery, waiting for you to go back to her. She begged you Niklaus and you turned away. Do not throw that away."

"Save this girl. Save your child" Elijah begged.

Klaus placed a hand on his shoulder, pulling him in for an embrace. "This is my decision" he whispered, snapped his neck, and dropped his brother's body to the ground. "You won't tell me, how to handle this."

Klaus burst through the doors of the cemetery, once again. "You want Marcel dead, I'll kill the bastard myself, but she" he declared, pointing that Andrea. "She comes with me and if anything happens to her, I will rip you all limb from limb" he swore.

"Done" Sophie replied. "We'll be in touch" she declared.

"Don't bother" Klaus snarled, grabbing Andrea by the arm and dragging her from the cemetery. "Why didn't you tell me" he demanded.

"I didn't know" she replied, her voice shaking. "It shouldn't be possible, it wasn't even a thought in my mind."

Klaus suddenly stopped, his hold still gripping her tight. "What did they do to you?" he asked.

She let out a deep exhale, a slight smile on her lips. "They told me the truth. And if I get the chance I'm going rip Marcel's head off" she swore.
