The Other Mikaelson- Book 2

Chapter XII

Keira woke up probably a few hours later, and got up to find both her brother's panicking inside.

"If Marcel didn't take her, who the bloody hell did?" Nik exclaimed, clearly furious.

"I don't know," Elijah said. "Probably one of your very many enemies."

Nik noticed Keira. "Where the bloody hell have you been?"

"I-" Keira was suddenly interrupted by a splitting pain in between her left shoulder and neck. She inhaled sharply and groaned, weirdly having visions of Kol's death, Finn's death, Esther's first death, and pretty much every death she had ever seen or heard the story of. Nik stepped towards her, and pulled the collar of her jacket off, revealing a werewolf bite.

"Who bit you?" he asked, pulling one of his sleeves down slightly and biting into his wrist.

When her bite was cured, Keira glared at him with misdirected anger. "I think the Lockwolf is back."

Nik sighed in exasperation, but Elijah looked confused. "Who?"

"Someone I thought I was rid of... Tyler Lockwood," Nik replied. Elijah nodded, having never met him but remembering his existence.

"And why would your little hybrid-sidekick from Mystic Falls have any interest in Hayley?"

"He wants revenge because I went after his girl."

"Why do I suspect this is the least of your offenses?"

"Back when I had the means to sire hybrids, he was my first, Although, I didn't give him much choice in the matter. He was loyal in the beginning, but he grew insubordinate, turned my other hybrids against me. I couldn't have that, so I massacred the lot of them. Tyler ran like a coward before I could finish him off. That's it," Nik said.

"Ok, that's not it," Keira said, giving him a pointed look.

Elijah sighed in frustration. "Anything else that you would like to share?"

"Uh- there might have been a little bit of business with his mum," Nik said.

"You killed his mother. Wonderful," Elijah said, very exasperated.

"He needed to be taught a lesson!" Nik whined.

"And what lesson will you be taught, Niklaus, if he retaliates by harming Hayley?" Elijah asked.

"So you do care about her. Well, go on, then. Have at it, brother. Save her. Claim what spoils you can. I've sampled what she has to offer and let me tell you, she is exquisite-"

Elijah cut him off. "Niklaus, so help me-"

"I'll kill Tyler Lockwood myself," Nik said.

"Hell no, he bit me, can't we at least torture him first?" Keira cut in. Both her older brothers ignored her, and then they all sped away.

When Elijah texted Nik and Keira that Hayley was safe, they found Tyler looking in the Bayou's tents for her.

"HAYLEY! Don't make this harder than it has to be! Give up now... I'll end it quick," he said.

"Quite an offer! Though, not one I'll be extending to you," Keira said, appearing behind him.

Tyler took a battle stance. "Keira Mikaelson. Thought you'd be hallucinating at whatever house you and your lunatic siblings have compelled yourselves."

"Ok, first off, we did not compel ourselves a house, we just went back to the house we abandoned two hundred years ago. Second, you seem to have forgotten I have a very annoying and narcissistic brother who can cure werewolf bites," Keira replied. "I think he's around her somewhere. Nik?!?"
