The other twin (hope Mikaelson's twin)

Chapter 16

Aurora's POV: Faith and I walk into the Strix to see Tristan and Aya planning a ball for next week. "We should think about themes Tristan" Aya says. "I'm well aware Aya,I still have a day or two" Tristan replied. "How about a masquerade? It would be rather Beautiful don't you think brother?" I said walking over. "You are Absolutely right dear sister,what do you think Faith"Tristan says looking up to Faith. She clapped her hands and made a happy squeal. "Then it's settled, a masquerade" Aya says looking at my brother who's nodding. After some time goes by faith and I go home and I put her to bed.I get a text from my husband telling me he's taking Klaus to meet Alexis and that he won't be home for a while, so I clean around the penthouse a bit and go to bed.

Lucien's POV: Nik and I continue talking until
"Lucien-- what are you really doing in my city?" Nik asked "News has spread, old friend. Every vampire in the world knows you've been attacked. A number of times, nearly killed." I say with a sigh. He's clearly unhappy with this "Oh, well, I can assure you that all those who stood against me ended up either desiccated, dust, or dinner."he says sarcastically
I nervously laugh a bit. "Yes, but... what if it had gone the other way, hmm? When Finn was killed, we all learned the truth-- the life of every vampire is linked back to the Original who began the line. Kol's death confirmed it. Two entire lines of vampires wiped out! As you can imagine, the threat level doesn't sit well with those of us who remain." I say concerned  "Anyone fearing death as a result of my demise should come see me! I'll be happy to reassure them." He says unamused and unfazed at this. Nervously I say
"Of course. You and your siblings are mighty, indeed. Though, the attacks on you show that you are not completely invulnerable. While you've wallowed in your family affairs, your progeny have grown somewhat... restless. The world is a finite place, territory limited. And even ancient vampires are not above vicious turf-wars. What if I told you there's a growing conflict between the remaining three sirelines?".  "Suppose one of them wanted to annihilate the other? By killing Elijah? Rebekah? You?" I continued. "So, you came all this way to deliver a warning?" Nik says skeptically
"Think about it! Kill an Original, wipe out an entire line of competition! A tempting goal, made more so by the fact that your family is divided and thus weaker than you have ever been!" I said in response.
not willing to hear any more aspersions against the strength of himself and his family, gets in my face and hisses at me."My family is hardly weak! In fact, we are unkillable-- the last of the white oak is gone." He says not knowing that's a lie. "Are you so certain it's all gone? Every last splinter of it? Vanished for good?" I say questingly.  "Lucien, if you had even the slightest inkling any fragment of white oak still existed, of course you would tell me." He says threateningly and holding me by my neck. "Easy,Nik" I say, pulling his hand off my neck."You are my sire. My fate is linked to yours. If you want to know what I do about the dangers you now face, trust me enough to come with me. There is something that you must see." I say with my plan falling right into place.
