Klaus's Pet Book 2

34

Freya's POV:

I walk into Rousseau's to find Vincent talking to one of the witches of his coven- Sarah. She notices me and finishes the conversation with Vincent, gives me a small smile then turns and walks off. Vincent turns around and sighs when he sees me.

"Wow. That's one way to say you're happy to see me." I say

"Freya you know that we don't have an issue with one another but in case you weren't aware, I'm trying to stay out of the Mikaelson family drama." He tells me as we walk over to the bar

He signals the bartender and orders some shots. He signals for me to sit down with him and I do.

"This problem isn't just my family's and you know it. Shawn has returned. This is a witch problem."

He shakes his head at me.

"We've been searching Freya. For weeks now. He's nowhere to be found. We haven't found a body or any signs of the missing people since they were taken."

I sigh.

I hate to admit it but he's right.

Our first theory was that the people who were abducted, that Shawn must've been cloaking them. We all spread out. Klaus and Elijah went to talk with the vampires, Hayley and Lorelei spoke to the wolves and Vincent and I talked to the witches.

Everyone had the same story.

If they were with their loved one, they'd turned their back and the person vanished. There one minute, gone the next. No trace of where they went.

If they weren't with them, they just didn't return from where they'd gone and eventually something just felt off.

My phone buzzes.

I pull it from my back pocket. I unlock the screen and see a text from Hayley. My heart sinks when I see it.

We got another one. 20 yr old wolf named Vanessa Johnson.

Shit.

After talking to the families, we did a head count of all the people in each species inside of the city. We needed an exact number for how many were truly missing.

There were 3 missing witches.

One vampire.

I dreaded I'd get a message like this one. I'd been waiting for awhile to see if anyone else would be snatched and it had been silent for days. Doubt started creeping in. Like maybe they'd been dead this entire time and Shawn had moved on. Or maybe this had nothing to do with him at all and never did.

"Vince, if this really is Shawn, this makes 5 people taken so far. Do you really want to sit back and do nothing while another gets taken?" I demand

His expression goes from sadness to annoyance. He points a finger at me.

"Don't pull that on me Freya. You know damn well that the witches have been doing everything we can to help."

I rub my eyes.

I'm exhausted and I know I'm not the only one.

The city is stretched thin.

My family is constantly on edge, waiting for the attack that was to come.

After all, it made sense.

Klaus killed Shawn.

He must want revenge.

Right?

"I'm sorry. Look I need all the help I can get."

"Alright. Let's go."
