The Other Mikaelson- Book 3 (On hold)

Chapter IX

A/N: Before you tell me otherwise, this girl is a witch that practices spirit magic, not ancestral magic. She's not a New Orleans witch.

Klaus and Keira quickly made it to where Klaus had tracked Mikael and Cami to have been earlier, and instead found about twenty dead bodies, all drained of blood. Ten of them were still alive, and all held sticks and random weapons.

"Did you honestly think to hold me with a blade forged from pain?" said one of them.

"Unlike the weak, unlike you, I gain strength from pain!" said another.

"Soon, you will know the taste of white-oak as it pierces your heart." said the first again.

"Well, this is pointless," Klaus said. "Do you want to kill them, or should I?"

Keira smiled and raised her hand. "Mortuus." Similar to the werewolves from earlier, all of the humans bled from their eyes, nose, and mouth, and then died.

"Nice," Klaus said, his sister wiping blood off her nose. "Can you do a locator spell?"

"I need either Mikael's blood, Cami's blood, or the blood of a biological relative to either. I'm pretty sure step-son and daughter in different body don't fit those requirements. Or, if you have something that belongs to either?"

"Then locate the stake. Start at daybreak, I'm hungry."

Later on, after Klaus had completely drained the rest of the parties, Keira prepared everything for the locator spell.

"Anta Cotis Syrum, Anta Cotis Syrum. Anta Cotis Syrum, Anta Cotis Syrum." she chanted, Klaus watching. Keira had a vision of where the stake was. "They're at an abandoned building somewhere. There's a lot of blood."

"Is that all?" Klaus asked, annoyed.

"Yep."

"Ugh. Come on, we're leaving," Klaus said, when his phone rang. "Uh, I'm a tad busy. What is it, Hayley?"

"Something has happened to Elijah. He was supposed to be our decoy last night, and now he's vanished. There's blood everywhere-- werewolf and vampire," Hayley said.

Keira snickered. "I take full responsibility for that."

"There's a trail. I need you to help us track it," Hayley replied.

"Well, as much as I might like to help you find my brother, I have more pressing matters as the moment," said Klaus.

"What's more important than your own brother?" Hayley asked in disbelief.

"My life? Davina had Mikael on a magical leash, and it broke. Now Mikael has Tunde's blade, the white oak stake, and Cami. I'm gonna get her back. And then, I'm gonna end this. Either Mikael or I will be ash by day's end. And, if you do find my brother, please, tell him I could do with a hand?"

Klaus hung up and started walking, his sister following.

"By the way, little sister, when exactly do you plan on going back o your vampire body? Can you even go back to your vampire body?" he asked.

"I think I can put myself back in. But I haven't been a witch for a thousand years, I'm staying until I know I don't need magic anymore. And trust me, there were definitely times I wanted to give you aneurysms, but couldn't, so I'm staying until I can do that at least once."

"You're gonna pay for hurting her," Klaus told Mikael, after the elder vampire dropped Cami unconscious on the floor. The Mikaelson's had reunited after a few other tracking spells and Klaus's vampire tracking. Keira extended her hand, pulling Cami towards her, and began to heal her wound.

"Aw, how sweet. The cur whines for its bitch. I'll be sure to drain the rest of her right in front of your eyes, just before you burn," Mikael replied, before looking at his daughter. "That spell... you're my daughter, aren't you?"

Keira smirked. "Ish. Now, I've watched a vampire created by Esther stake Nik once already, I'm not watching that again."

"Then you best go. Don't worry, I'll find and kill you later too."

Suddenly, Klaus picked up a makeshift stake and jumped several feet in the air, before lunging at Mikael. The two then began to fight. As Keira finished healing Cami, who woke, Mikael had Klaus pinned to the wall and was trying to push the stake into his chest, and also failing. Strangely, Keira could feel the magic being drained from the stake.

Mikael, to distract Klaus, threw Tunde's blade at Cami, causing Keira to telekinetically stop it and Klaus to be distracted. Mikael took the chance and staked his step-son.

"No!" Cami yelled. Keira looked fearful for a moment, before Klaus fell to the ground, desiccated, and didn't burn.

"Why aren't you burning? If you were dead, it would burn. BURN!" Mikael yelled, furious. Then he seemed to realize Kol and Davina were outside, temporarily draining the power from the stake, and went outside. Cami and Keira rushed towards Klaus and knelt beside him.

"Why isn't he burning?" Cami asked.

"My brother and Davina," Keira said quickly. "We need to pull it out before they can't hold it anymore."

After two minutes of pulling, they finally got the stake out, which was inside a very narrow hole due to the wound having healed around it, almost embedding the stake in his heart.

"What do you think you're doing?" Mikael yelled, coming back into the room. Keira tossed the stake to Cami for defense, and prepared to fight.

"Stay the hell away from us! Or, I swear to God, I'll kill you myself," she said.

"You have a warrior's heart. Perhaps I'll keep it as a souvenir," the viking replied. Keira suddenly saw Marcel appear quietly behind him.

"Or not," she said, raising a fist and inflicting pain infliction on her father.

"Stupid girl!" he yelled, clutching his temples in agony. "Don't you remember what I told you as a child? If you keep relying on your magic, you will never amount to anything."

"Yeah, well," Keira replied. "Didn't exactly work out, now did it?"

Somewhere in the distance, "YOU'RE THE MA-A-ANNNNNNN BUT I GOT THE I GOT THE I GOT THE POWERRRRR" blasted, inaudible to all but the people watching on TikTok and YouTube Shorts.

Marcel grabbed Mikael from behind and pulled Mikael away from the girls, before hitting Mikael so quickly the Original was too disoriented to fight back. Mikael eventually managed to knock Marcel over onto his back, before holding Klaus's makeshift stake against his heart.

"Now, ENOUGH! This night has been a long parade of fools. I'll enjoy killing every last one of you!" he yelled. Hayley suddenly flew into the room with a chain in hand and strangled Mikael, Keira extending her hand to weaken him. After almost half a minute of struggle, Davina ran into the room as well.

"I wouldn't bet on it," Keira said.

"It's over, Mikael. You're outnumbered. Are you going to beg for your miserable life?" Klaus said, standing finally.

Mikael laughed. "You think having people makes you strong? It proves how weak you are. Come find me when you don't have fools, women and children fighting your battles," he said, before leaving abruptly.
