Slow Burn [Klaus Mikaelson Story]

29. You Gotta Be Kidding

"What?"

"You are the lost, last Darius" he says still cupping my face.

"No-no it can't be" I pry away his hand and step back.

"That Darius like you said last was lost centuries ago and I-"

"It is the spell" he cuts me off.

"A spell?"

He nods his head, "Yes it is the spell that your grandmother did on you. It is the spell that stops your growth of everything. You can't grow unless your conscious allows you. It was done on you to protect you from the war between the royal brothers. There was an unspoken rule no matter how cruel one can be, no harm shall come to an infant" he says.

"Wh-what?" I whisper shout at him, "Growth of everything?"

"Yes your body, your mind; your wolf, vampire and witch" he states.

"WHAT?!"

"Yes you are the first of royal family to have all the three genes, making you the strongest of supernatural" he simply states.

"And spell?" I mumble to myself. Suddenly remembering my conversation with Ashlee.

"The blessing spell" I look up at him and he nods his head eagerly at me.

"Okay" My knees suddenly buckle and before I can hit the ground he holds me up by my arms.

"You've lost too much blood" he says looking serious, "and I feel the shock was too much for you to handle" he adds.

"No kidding" I black out.

I groggily wake up, a sudden splitting  headache takes over my whole body making me groan.

I look at my palm and see that it has been completely healed.

So it was all a dream.

I let out a sigh of relief and slowly sit up straight and see I am in a gigantic room. My eyes widen as I look around.

It is a huge room with old four poster bed which is almost broken, there are large widows and a huge broken glass double door which is open and is leading to a balcony, the glass of the window sprinkled around the foot of the door.  The windows are adorned by torn sheer curtains. There is huge fireplace with black splotches covering it. Everything about this room screams royal but broken.

I turn my head to see a broken nightstand with a glass of water placed over it with my phone next to it. I grab the glass and chug it down in one breath, I place the glass down before grabbing my phone and stuffing in it my bra.

"Do you want me to bring another glass of water?" A familiar voice speaks, startling me.

I look towards the huge wooden double door which are now open. And Atticus is standing there, his clothes still torn and he looks like before, before I gave him the blood.

"So it wasn't a dream" I mumble.

"I am afraid not" he says walking towards me and stands next to me.

"I apologize for the state of the room, I tried to clean it as much as I can with whatever power I had. After you were lost, everyone left so no one has been here for a millennial, I tried to keep up hoping the you will be returned to us one day but every decade it got harder and I locked myself in the escape route where you found me" he informs me.

"That is the escape route?"

"It was yes. But now you are here Darius estate will be lively as ever again!" He exclaims standing up but suddenly he falls down.

"Atticus!" I get off of the bed and support his body, laying him on the bed.

"You need blood" suddenly a sense of worry fills me.

"No-no I will be fine" he stutters out his eyes getting heavier.

"I thought with the blood I gave you-"

"I had to heal your hand so I fed you my blood" he gives me a broken smile finally closing his eyes.

"Atticus" I shake him but he doesn't respond.

He is like a block of stone.

I really need to get him blood.

Like before I tore a piece of cloth from my dress.

I am really sorry I internally scream looking at the state of such a beautiful dress.

I truly don't deserve good things.

I run towards where the broken glasses and pick a piece and slice my palm making sure it's not deep like it was before.

I place the cloth onto the cut and blood instantly soaked it through.

I make my way back to Atticus and put it over his mouth he slightly opened it and I dropped it and took the cloth in mouth like before.

He wakes up with a loud gasp making me fly 2 feet back. He sucks on the and spits it out again.

"Miss Isla" he breathes out in relief, he tries to stand but couldn't.

"I need to get you blood" I say more to myself before getting up, "I will be back with it" I add in determination, walking out of the room before he can say otherwise.

"The Falls is 60 minutes away from here" I hear his voice behind me as I make my way outside the room.

He knows me, where I from, he knows something, possible he can just kill me after I get him blood but he knows something and I want to know what is it, even if it kills me.

I walk outside the room to come across a huge hallway that has been torn, there are holes here and there, I step around the making sure not to get my feet stuck in any hole, with every step I took, the floorboards beneath me creaked, making me cringe internally. I finally see white light of the moonlight at the end of the hallway, as soon as I step in the light, my eyes widen than a saucer.

This is not a house, it is a mansion, a huge mansion at that.

It is straight out of those medieval movies The celling are so high, there are portrait of a lot of people, huge spiral staircase going down to a huge ball room like with huge double doors slightly opened.

I breath out in relief, if they were not opened I might've never been able to open them, I will be fascinated later on, I have to get mystic falls first.
