02 - water heals

Aurelia had never been put in a position like this before, bleeding out and vulnerable. This was because before today nobody ever had a reason to harm her. Despite her bratty tendencies and behaviour Aurelia was a decent person, a very respected person. Her whole kingdom adored her for her nurturing ways and the kindness she shows them. So she had never imaged the day somebody would attempt her murder– but that's what happens when you get close to the Niklaus Mikealson.

Her ears were still ringing as she regained consciousness, yet she was still unaware of what's happening. But she felt the familiar feeling of being submerged in water,  that alone made her feel better. Water heals. That was drilled into her by her father the moment she mentioned going to live on land, that should she ever find herself with any injury or sickness that the water would heal her. Or she could return home. She didn't know how the stranger knew to put her in the water, but she appreciated the gesture. From what it felt like— she was at the lake klaus often took her to. Meaning it was either a hybrid or the man himself who'd brought her.

She felt the bones on her legs morph and conform into her tail, it didn't take a genius to know she was returning to her natural form. The scales formed onto of her tail, some of her face or arms.

By now she was healing rapidly, yet she still didn't regain full awareness. In fact, she fell into a deep sleep yet again.

The mikealson mansion

Klaus yelled in frustration, as of currently he'd only retrieved Rebekah as the rest of his siblings were in stefan's hold— unlike Rebekah who'd been daggered in the basement after the doppelganger had stabbed her in the back. Literally.

Small recap. In exchange for his freedom stefan had saved klaus from damon shoving the white oak stake into his heart— then said stake was used against his father. Thus leading to Mikeal the destroyers fortunate death. But like all people, stefan was ungrateful and stole the coffins holding his daggered siblings; finn, kol and elijah and one more. He'd planned on finally waking them, now that it was safe but of course stefan had to intervene. So klaus did what klaus does best. He threatened a doppelganger, and to prove his point he compelled Jeremy to stand in the road, almost getting hit if not for alaric. Which lead to getting his sister back.

Now not only is he without his siblings but Aurelia is still unconscious at the bottom of a lake. He considered retrieving her body and letting her heal above water, but he recalled a book he'd found in elijah's collections on sirens and decided against it.

But thankfully due to a certain bennet which he now knew the location of his coffins, and that is where he was going now.

Klaus's car sped down the highway, swiftly dogging any cars or bumps or anything that would slow him down. Having to get out and run the rest of the way, fortunately he was the original hybrid and could easily vamp speed there. He approached the old witch house and confidently strode in, seeing stefan taunting him by leaning against the wall. Suddenly klaus dropped down in pain, the feeling of hundreds of aneurysms attacking him, "Turns out dead witches hate you as much as I do," stefan commenting with a smirk.

Only for klaus to reply, "yes but they also have hundreds of descendants I have no problem killing. As we tall my friend is prepared to end the bennet line" He groaned out, straightening his back once the pain faded, "show me my coffins" the witches revealed three coffins, making klaus look up furiously.

"SHOW ME THE LAST ONE!" His voice echoed through the abandoned building, while stefan pushed off the wall with a Victorious grin, "they can't,  it's not here"

The lake

A melodic tune rung throughout the air, the sound entrancing and almost..hypnotic. A man exited his car, slamming the door as he heard the tune from the highway, he trekked through the woods towards a lake. The water glistened and seemed pure, angelic even. But little did he know, that water held a being of the devil. Slowing a head emerged from the water, her beauty was enticing.

Her pink lips parted as her singing became louder, the man was truly under a spell as he started to walk into the water, his clothes becoming wet and sticking to his body. The woman wrapped her arms around his neck before pulling him into a kiss, the man's eyes glazed over. The woman, who we knew to be Aurelia flashed a sultry grin as she leaned closer to his neck, kissing at the skin. The man sighed in bliss. Aurelia breathed in the smell of his blood and flesh, the beating of his heart, before she removed it. Shamelessly, she took a bite out his bleeding heart moaning at the satisfyingly taste, after she finished she worked on finishing the whole body.

The only thing kept of him was bones.
