Alora Branson- Kol Mikaelson

15| Calm Before Storm

Alora Branson

I shut the door turning towards the boys motioning them to follow, it was afternoon and the sun was beginning to slowly set. I walked in seeing seeing Klaus speaking with a women and a group of men, "so we meet again little sheep" Klaus called smiling as he stepped forward. I returned the brunettes glare before walking forward hugging Klaus, "i'm back, just in time i hear. There's whispers of your friend raising an army against you" I smiled.

"No need to fret, we're here to help. I'm also here for something else" I took a step back, "a pardon" i nodded. Klaus looked confused yet intrigued, "a pardon? For what you haven't wronged me?" Klaus asked. "It's not for me, it's for my brother" Klaus's brows furrowed, "who is.." his words died down as Regulus stepped next to me. "Klaus, this is Regulus, Regulus Everdeen" I nodded, he seemed shocked as he stared at the boy.

"You never mentioned you had a sister" Klaus said, "look from what i understand you both hurt eachother, i need you to pardon him. I'm not the only one who needs your protection, while we're here you need to protect all of us" I said. He sighed looking down, "alright, i pardon him. And i promise to protect you to my best ability, as long as you pledge your loyalty once more" Klaus looked up smiling.

I turned to the brunette, "this is a private discussion, may we have a moment" I smiled. She smiled just the same way, fake. "Of course" she said before turning and walking away, her men following. I turned to Klaus, "it's a deal" i brought my hand to my mouth biting into my flesh as Klaus followed. I held my hand out shaking his as our blood bonded, "i Alora Everdeen-Branson pledge my loyalty to you Niklaus Mikaelson" he nodded satisfied before i wiped the blood off my hand.

"Now time to get you caught up" Klaus smiled, i turned to Everett and Reg. "Go find a room, Reg settle in" he nodded before him and Everett turned walking up the stairs. I turned back to Klaus smirking, "what have i missed" he smiled motioning for me to follow him. "As you've heard Marcel is plotting against me once more, luckily i have a witch who's helping me against him" he spoke while we climbed the stairs.

I turned following him into a room where a red haired women was leaning over a table making a spell, she did a double take before standing up straight clearly defensive. "Lori this is Genevieve, the witch i told you about" I nodded, "who is this?" she asked. I smiled stepping forward "Alora Branson, Klaus's friend" i squeezed her hand tightly causing her to flinch. I let go stepping back, "i'm a witch as well and experienced at that" i turned to the spell.

"Impressive what your doing" i nodded, she faltered, "i can say im experienced as well" she looked down before turning to the spell. "I trust your ready" Klaus said, Genevieve cleared her throat "the last ingredient we need is personal" she sighed. "As the spell is designed to control transformation, i need the blood of a werewolf who doesn't turn on a full moon" Genevieve said turning to Klaus.

"Perfect, my brother can help" i smiled, the red head paused. "It'd be better to used Klaus, a biological non turner" she nodded, i squinted observing her. I could laugh at how nervous i made her, "i'm half wolf i control my form, just use my blood" Klaus held out his hand over the spell.

Genevieve grabbed a knife but Klaus stopped her by grabbing her shoulders, "if you fail to uphold your end of the deal, the consequences for you will be apocalyptic" Klaus threatened. Genevieve took a deep breath "you say the most romantic thing" she said. Klaus let her go before she took the knife slicing his hand, Klaus tightened his hand in a fist letting his blood drip onto the rocks.

Klaus stood back as Genevieve walked forward, "Alora?" i turned hearing my name. "Hayley" i hugged her feeling her larger belly, "your back" she said as i pulled away moving to hug Elijah. "Yeah i move where i'm needed, and clearly i'm needed here" i smiled as she laughed. "That's great maybe you can keep Klaus in order" she smiled, "it's good to see you again Lori" Elija nodded.

We moved to the table as Genevieve began chanting, "my people say Marcel is on the move, and he's bringing friends" the brunette from earlier walked in. "Get Hayley to safety" Klaus told Elijah, he turned to me "let's finish them once and for all" i nodded following him out. "Everett! Reg!" i called as Klaus walked down the stairs, in seconds they were on either side of me. "Woah things went south real quick" Reg said, "follow me, and if anything goes bad promise me you'll run" i turned to them.

"Alora-" Everett said, "promise me" i cut him off, they turned to each other sighing then turned to me. "Okay" Everett said while Reg nodded. I nodded before turning and walking down the stairs hearing them follow, i got next to Klaus as Marcel's Army walked forward surrounding us. I was nervous, not for me but for the guys. Who knows what limits Marcel was willing to go. I know how far id go, there is no limit when it come to protecting family.
