The Vixen & the Fox II

Chapter 299

"Has anyone seen Kol, or Hope?" Lizzie jolted as she twisted around staring at the two Originals who were both wearing looks of concern and displeasure.

"Hope locked herself in her room last night and wasn't letting anyone in," Josie stated honestly. Which was true, Lizzie had reluctantly swung by to check in on Hope last night, especially after Freya and Bonnie had argued about how to consecrate Davina. Apparently the witch's soul and magic were fractured and broken, and had been for a lot of reasons, and Bonnie was arguing they couldn't consecrate her while Freya was saying they could.

As to Kol, Lizzie could honestly say she had only watched the Original from afar, she could still remember the amount of agony on his face, and then way he had torn through Triad. Malivore had even looked scared, and the faceless golem thing had not expressed thoughts. But the force with which Kol could hit, his speed, and his relentlessness, it was easy to see how unsettling the Originals had been; and worse Lizzie knew the Originals were mostly dead, except Kol and Rebekah, but the idea of Elijah and Klaus, after seeing what Kol could do, it was horrifying to think there'd been six Originals at one point. After Kol's wife's death, and subsequently their detainment of Davina's body before Kol could take her and run, had detained the Original here. He wasn't leaving his wife, dead or alive, Lizzie got the sense they stayed together. And since then, other than when Kol would appear to observe the world, no one had seen him really, and he was always covered in blood.

"She is not there," Rebekah stated primly.

"Perhaps she's with Kol?" Lizzie offered lamely, flinching when the ancient blue eyes landed on her. Similar to Hope's, but Rebekah's were older, wiser, sharper, and more dangerous, the only hint to bely her youthful appearance was her eyes.

"And Kol is missing," Rebakah replied in a voice of ice. "My brother has left a heap of bloody cloths and no indication as to where he is, and your father, and that Bennett witch with the baby Gilbert are nowhere to be found," she hissed.

"Dad was heading out this morning, Aunt Bonnie said she felt strange magic."

"I'll get a locator spell, Rebekah and we'll find him," Freya soothed.

"You have done enough damage to my brother," Rebekah snapped furiously. "It is your fault her magic is broken and your fault she is not able to be consecrated, you have done enough."

"Rebekah..."

"No," Rebekah cut off. "You, blonde one, you are friends with Hope, come along, you will help me find them," Rebekah ordered.

"I..."

"Not you," Rebekah hissed. "Kol might have forgiven you, but the only reason my husband does not act on his wrath is because you are my sister, and I would like what remains of my brother's wife's soul to remain intact."

Lizzie looked at Josie frantically before Rebekah was walking. "Come along, now."

"Coming!" Lizzie said uncertainly as she scrambled around Freya and grabbed Josie's hand, so she wasn't alone.

Davina sighed as she lifted her head from Kol's chest and closed her eyes. "I don't hate you, Hope," she breathed softly as she opened her eyes and looked at the young teenager. Hope stood there with teary blue eyes and looked contrite, but also apologetic. Kol's fingers traced over her spine where she could feel the familiar runes of his ancestors reaching and denying the connection of Kol and Hope.

"I just... I don't want you to... she killed my uncle and my dad... she destroyed my sanity," Hope whispered softly as she walked towards them. Davina didn't see anything similar between Hope and her own nieces, Hope looked unnervingly like Freya and Mikael. Which was odd, given the fact Klaus was not Mikael's child. Constance, Grace, Faith and Amity were all more like a mix of Hayley, Elijah, and Klaus, sharing Kol's hair color, the girls had Elijah's nose, Klaus' jawline, and cheekbones, Hayley's mouth, eyes and brow, Rebekah's ears. Hope looked more like Freya and Mikael than Klaus, but with Esther's nose... it was strange seeing the young woman look so stunning and like a Mikaelson but not like the tribrid's she knew.
