When Chaos Rises

Chapter 3: Home

November 1,1986
Niklaus Mikaelson POV:

  The sound of soft giggles slowly woke me from my sleep. As I opened my eyes the events of the day before came back to me. I shoot up in my chair looking to the bed and couldn't help the grin that quickly came to my face as I saw the little one peeking out from under the blanket before covering her face and giggling again.

   "Now I wonder where my little guest has gone?" I said grinning as I saw her dual covered eyes peek out again, before disappearing in a quick giggle.

   I knelt by the bed and smiled before putting on a sad face." Oh it seems she left me what shall I do?"

   Before I could blink she had her small arms around my neck. "No sad. I here. I no leave." She hugged me to her as I wrapped my arms around her small form standing.

    "I'm glad you haven't left little love. Now can you tell me your name?"

   She smiled at me " Wynter"

I smiled back. "Well Wynter I am Niklaus but you can call me Nik. Now little one was that home where you were yesterday?"

   She smiled at my name and growled actually growled at the question."No not home. Bad man made me go there."

   " Do you know where home is or your parent's names?"

  She giggled and clapped. "Yes home. Papa, Mama Bella. Kreacher he take home"

   The moment she said that last name a pop was heard in the room. Thankfully I had seen a house elf before, but this one growled at me the moment he spotted Wynter in my arms.

  "Filthy half breed give Kreacher his tiny Mistress or Kreacher will destroy you."

  Wynter quickly wrapped her tiny arms around my neck and before I could say anything yelled "No my Niklaus. No hurt Kreacher. Please"

   At that Kreacher softened his gaze "As Mistress wishes."

   "Kreacher, is it? She said you could help bring her home, will you take us both there? I wish to make sure she is safe and perhaps speak to her parents on how she came to me." I asked looking to the small creature still holding her as she gripped my neck.

    Kreacher just looked at me as if trying to judge my soul for a few moments and watched as Wynter let go of my neck and patted my cheek grinning and giggling before placing a kiss to it and laying her head on my shoulder.

   "Kreacher will do as you ask, because you belong to Kreacher's Mistress."
 
Not quite sure how to respond to that I simply nod before Kreacher comes forward grasps my hand and pops us away from my hotel room.

BLACK MANOR SCOTLAND
REGULUS POV:

  We had just stopped into Black Manor, Madame Bones suggested while she and a few other Aurors continued searching we set up another one of our homes to stay in. I was currently changing the wards on the Manor to allow only myself, Bella, Madame Bones and Narcissa free access into the Manor.
  
  As I was starting this Kreacher gasped out "Little Mistress!" and popped away.  As he popped away I called out for Bella, and sent word to Madame Bones.
  
  Both quickly arriving and waiting with me in the sitting room.

We didn't have to wait long before Kreacher came back with a man holding our little Wynter. We all stood wands at ready even as Wynter squealed happily and clapped her hands, before smiling at me "Papa!"
 
   I quickly moved forward hands outstretching for her." Wynter! Darling where have you been? You had us so worried."

   Bella yelled "Who are you why do you have our Wynter?" Pointing her wand more so at the male.

   Hearing all this the man held her close and Wynter seeing Bella angry hugged the man and said" No hurt my Niklaus, mama Bell. He helped me. He mine."

   That froze all of us. Wynter had not claimed anyone not true family to her before. Amelia looked at all of us lowering her wand. "Perhaps we should all sit and find out what we can."

   Everyone nodded and moved to sit. Wynter stayed with her arms around his neck. As he sat holding her she kissed his cheek again and smiled.

   "How did you come by my daughter and who are you?" I asked.

    "I am Niklaus Mikaelson." Everyone kind of sucked in a breath at that and simply nodded and listened to him." I was walking through Godrics hollow yesterday eve when I heard an explosion and when arrived where the sound was I was confused to see nothing wrong. Looking around a bit more i noticed a bit of smoke in the sky and then suddenly this one falling unconscious as if thrown from a height. I managed to catch her before she hit the ground, but seeing as she had seemed to have been thrown. I did not stay around long. I returned to my hotel with her and insured she was unharmed, at least to the eye and laid her to rest on the bed. I waited beside her to wake. When she did this morning I asked her name and if that had been home. She being the bright little one she is" he smiled at her before continuing" told me her name and growled about it not being home and a bad man took her there. I asked about home and she mentioned Papa mama Bella, and Kreacher. That is when this elf appeared and here we are. I do not know what happened before that, I just know since finding her I have felt more protective of her then even my siblings and know your house elf and the little one call me hers."

   "Someone took her from our home the day before yesterday. Myself, Oh! I'm sorry I am Lord Regulus Black of the Ancient and Noble house of Black, this is my cousin Bellatrix Black and my other cousin Lady Narcissa Malfoy Madame Bones of the DMLE office. As I was saying along with Kreacher we have been searching for her. It was extremely difficult as it seemed something was blocking us from finding her. Other then you arriving here with her we have no clues on who took her. We only know about an incident involving others at the hollow, though it might be too much of a coincidence for it both to have happened there."

    Everyone frowned a bit at this.  Regulus, Bella, and Amelia because they did not want to think she had been there for what happened, and Niklaus because he still didn't know what happened.

     Suddenly the shadows in the room came to life and a winged woman stepped out." Perhaps I can help explain what happened to my chosen one." She stated as Wynter smiled and giggled before squealing out "Primal!"
