Klaus's Pet Prequel

66

Freya's POV:

We walk down the street, unsure of what we should be expecting. Clearly, Kira wants me to suffer for what I did and I can't really blame her. We destroyed everything and probably her entire life in the process.

"Do not blame yourself." Elijah says

I sigh.

"That's not as easy as it sounds." I say
"You were not acting of your own free will." Elijah says
"True but I'm still responsible for the lives I ruined regardless." I tell him

He says nothing but I know he understands what I mean. None of us have ever wanted to spill a drop of innocent blood in our lives.

Now look at us.

Every single one of us has snuffed out at least one in once the life in our time on this Earth. We are far from innocent.

Lorelei stops walking suddenly.

"Do you hear that?" She asks turning to us

Elijah focuses intently but after a moment, shakes his head. I do too. Whatever she's hearing, it's only affecting her. Suddenly she falls to her knees as if she's in pain but she makes no sound. Her hands clutch her ears.

"Lorelei." Elijah says and rushes to her aide but stops as he hears an inhuman growl erupts from her throat

She stands up quickly and flings Elijah back into a wall, catching us both off guard. When she turns to me, I see her eyes are completely white. She makes her way towards me and Elijah springs into action, cutting her off from me. I'm unsure what to do.

Someone's controlling her mind.

Lorelei attempts to strike Elijah but he dodges her moves with ease.

"Someone's controlling her." I say

"Lorelei you can fight this!" Elijah says to her then turns to me. "Break the spell."

Ideas rush through my head. I can't exactly snap her neck, she'd die. She charges at me again and I raise my hand and she falls to the ground, unconscious. Elijah picks her up and we head deeper into the road.

Wherever Kira is, she's close by.

She'd have to be to cast the specific spell she used. I'd read about it before though I'd never seen anyone cast it.

We make our way towards a small one story house deep into the woods, completely isolated. Every bone in my body is telling me that this is a trap. But why would she go through this effort just to kill us all?

Elijah listens in and gives me a nod.

Someone is in there.

"Kira if you're in there, come out!" I say

No response.

I hear a faint hissing sound and suddenly the house in front of us explodes sending us all flying as splinters of wood and broken glass go flying into the air. I hit my head hard and everything goes black.

When I regain consciousness there's a strong ringing in my ears. It takes over making every other sound muffled. Elijah and Lorelei are still on the ground as well. Elijah stands up with a groan and holds out a hand to me and helps me up. Then he grabs Lorelei. We stand there as the flames consume the house. Whoever is in there is certainly dead. I sigh, frustrated.

Our one lead just blew up.
