The Mikaelson Twins Return

Head-Dive

Hope went to get MG and he said "You're not going?" I said "To grab one vampire? Not necessary. So why does everyone think im dangerous?" he said, "Well, are you?" I shrugged and he said "I can tell you that your witch ancestors are scared of what you can become. At 7 years old you terrified an entire town, with something called the Hollow. And I know for a fact that whoever killed me, whatever wants this knife so badly is terrified by your name alone." I went into the cage with him and sat on the floor leaning against his legs and said "I hate it." he ran his fingers through my hair "Why? Being feared is the greatest thing a powerful person can be." I said "Because my mom never wanted that for me, my dad didn't want that for me." he said, "Your father was feared." I sighed "I know." I heard MG's voice "It's so cool. It's like compulsion, but while I'm on the surface of his mind, heroic-like, I'm plunging you into the deep end... Holy Mary, mother of demons." I stood up as Hope sighed he said "Hello, Milton. Your great-nana Imogene is waving hello just over your shoulder." MG said "You can see my great-nana?" he said "Oh, I can see everything. She's most disappointed in you for forsaking Jesus, who I can also see, but, oh, I know, that's another can of worms. Shall we begin?" MG said "Uh... We're going in there? - With him? Like she is?" he smirked "With me, The Almighty Necro..." I said "Please. Can we not do all that again?" MG said "Did you steal those keys from Dr. Saltzman? Wait... How did you get in?" I said "Magic, duh." Hope opened the door "Yeah, I did. MG, pull it together." he said "You have no reason to fear me, I assure you." MG said, "You're basically the Grim Reaper." I stood behind the necromancer as he said "Oh, the Reaper is a carnival sideshow hack! No, you... you dirty your mouth mentioning his name in my presence. Perhaps I should summon Nana to wash it out with soap?" MG said "No, you leave my Nana be. Don't nobody need to be whupped by Nana right now. Okay. I stand here, hands on his shoulders. Ooh. Now, you and I join hands. Now I look into your eyes. Open your mind to me. Like, lifting a window to let the breeze in."

I closed my eyes and we appeared in the bar in New Orleans. He said "I'll be damned. I mean, I'm obviously damned, but it worked." I said "What the hell are we doing here?" he said, "You are the ones who invited yourselves along." Hope said "Here. This restaurant is in New Orleans. We've spent half our childhood here." he said "Yes. Rousseau's. I spent a good amount of time here before the 1920s. Your father was good for my business, always killing people." Hope said "How do you know about our dad?" he said "Well, he's standing right behind you. Kidding. Kidding. But his spirit is all around you. Plus, he and I did our fair share of drinking here when he was at his most murderey." she said "Are you messing with us right now?" he said "Frankly, I think you're the one messing with me. All this talk is about solving the mystery of Malivore. I think you and I both know which mystery you'd love me to solve. You want to know how your dad is. Or should I say, where he is? Huh?" she said "No. No, I don't." he said "Sure you do. You want to know if he's at peace or if he's suffering. Regretting his sacrifice. After all, he did die and left your sister to save your life. A lovely gesture for such a mercurial man. Hmm. Not to bother. I'm not telling you anything until we've finished our journey. Now, let's get started, shall we? This is my conscious mind. We need to find the door to my subconscious. Look for a hallway to nowhere, an endless staircase. Something like that. Ooh, a second line. My favorite."

We headed outside and he said "Yeah! How I love the macabre! Oh, oh, the dance of death. I wonder, who's the guest of honor? Let's take a look. Perhaps, Klaus Mikaelson?" she screamed "No!" and opened the casket, it was just a black hole. She said "There's nothing there." he said, "You're not ready for the truth." I said "No, like, literally, nothing." he said "Hmm? Ah, clever girls. May I present the door to my subconscious? Well done, you." grabbed my shirt and jumped inside pulling me with him. He showed me his last day and I said "What's that?" He said "I... I don't know. A mud man?" I said "Well he killed you so he is connected to Malivore somehow. Hey, do you have the power to show my dad's last day?" He held his hand out for me "Are you sure?" I placed my hand in his "I need to know." The scene changed and suddenly we were in New Orleans dad and Elijah were sitting on the bench and Elijah said "Are you sure you should be leaving her?" Klaus said, "Hope will be ok, she is just like her mother." Elijah prompted "And Em?" Klaus sighed "My little Ember will be ok as long as she stays exactly as she is. If she becomes a full tribrid... Well... She is my daughter and I pity anyone who hurts Hope or pisses her off." Elijah said, "You think she'll be as bad as you?" He said "I don't know. The hollow tried to control her at 7 because it was afraid of what she'd become. But I know if those kids at that school are smart they'd befriend the twins and im sure our enemies have a reckoning coming for them. And her name is Ember Mikaleson and she will burn bright. I just wish I was here to see it." Then they stabbed each other and died. 

Suddenly I heard Hope "I'm at peace with my dad. Yes, he died because of me, but that was his choice. I've come to terms with it. You're wrong about me. I don't need to know anything. Screw this. MG? MG, get me out of here! MG?" I said, "We have to go back for her." He sighed "Fine." Suddenly we were in a dark void. He said "Oh, hey." She was pissed "Don't "hey" me. Get us out of here." He smirked "With pleasure. Oops. Daddy's home." Alaric was staring at us making me sigh. We followed him to his office. Hope shut the door as he said "I mean, how could you two be so reckless?" I sat on the desk as she said "You weren't getting anywhere." He said "And so you took it upon yourselves? And how did that go?" I grumbled, "Not well." He said "Yeah? Well, I have it under control, girls." She started grabbing alcohol bottles "Oh, really? Then you want to explain this? Or this? Or anything else that would explain your utter lack of progress?" He said "I am grieving, Hope. And maybe you and your sister should try that sometime instead of pushing everyone away. Look, I am trying to protect you both. That thing is a master manipulator. It resurrected my fiancée, it raised a cemetery of zombies and it brought back Rafael's dead girlfriend, so let's just talk about the ways in which it could torment you two, starting with your dead mother, ending with your dead father, and how about all the ghosts of all the people that you killed in between, huh? I can't believe you'd do this." 

Hope said "Don't do that. You don't like that we broke your rules as a headmaster? Fine, punish us. But don't you dare play disappointed dad, - because you are not our father." He said, "Oh, I know that." She headed out so I got up as he said "And where are you doing?" She said, "To finish what I started." He said, "Like hell you are." She said "Cloditay." I said "Hope..." He said "Hope!" I tried to open the door and it wouldn't even let me out causing me to laugh. He said, "I know you're stronger than her and can get us out." I crossed my arms and leaned against the door "Yep, but that involves dark magic which you banned." He said "Alright, what's wrong? You don't normally break rules as she does." I slid down the door to sit as I said "I know what you think of me, what you and Caroline both think." He said, "And that is?" I gave him a challenging look "That I'm evil. That I'm bad. I see it every time you look at me, every time I'm with your daughters and you pull them away, any time a dark magic spell is cast even if it isn't me doing it. I'm the evil twin, I'm the kid no one trusts. You never wanted me to come here did you?" 

He sighed "No I didn't. Caroline convinced me to let you girls come here and now all I want to do is protect you. I don't think you're evil or bad I think you are powerful and forceful but I also love you Ember. Hope's right I'm not your father but I've watched you both grow up into strong, amazing, young women and I don't pull my daughters from you, I pull you from them. And it isn't about you, it's because Lizzie has meltdowns and her magic acts up and I don't want her to hurt you. Im just trying and failing to protect you." I said "My dad always told me I wouldn't need friends because I'd be feared. Well, im feared and it sucks." he hugged me "Tell you what, if you be careful around Lizzie ill stop pulling them from you, but please let us out." I said "Your rule is no black magic." he said, "Is there no other way?" I said "Well, either I use a black magic spell or you call the twins and have them siphon it." he said, "Do the spell, and you won't get in trouble." I turned to face the door, I laid my hand on the door and said "Repo oma dal most." the black magic alarm went off so he deactivated it and I opened the door, "Voila." he said, "What did you do?" I said "I used a spell that aunt Freya used against the Hollow when I was seven. Essentially it just uses raw power to break through, normally you have to channel someone else, As Aunt Freya did with uncle Elijah. However, I just channel the darkness it's more powerful and faster." he said "How do you know that spell?" I said, "I was psychically connected to the Hollow I know all her spells and any spell used against her." I walked out of the office.
