The Miracle Child

15

Elijah put me in Kol's room to rest because I haven't taken a rest since everything. I took a quick shower. Every second counts and my daughter could be suffering or maybe she's torturing her. I can't think I just need my daughter by my side.

Someone is at the door and I opened it for them. It's Hope. "Hey you" I said in a cheery voice. "Wanna seat with me on the bed?"

"I heard my dad and uncle Elijah talking. Is Ayah really my sister?" 

I sighed "I don't know if I should be the one you should have this conversation with." she looked at me sadly.

"Ayah is my best friend, and my roomate at school. She carved this for me." She showed me a wooden heart written: 'If everyone had a friend like you, the world would be a better place'

I couldn't help but drop a tear with a soft chuckle. "You know, Ayah-Rose has told me a lot about you and how you two have so much in common. Your artistic skills, incredible. She showed me some of your paintings when I was at the school visiting."

"Hey, is she troubling you?" Hayley walked in. I shook my head no. "I figured I should bring you some clothes." 

I didn't even think of what I was going to wear, I was still wearing a towel and I didn't bring anything with me at all. "Thank you." A pair of jeans and a blouse with a light jacket. I will still wear my boots.

Freya is still linked to Dahlia and the plan is to lure her by 'killing Freya' and once she notices that Freya isn't linked to her she will come for her and it will also weaken her just a little bit as she is also using Freya's magic like her own. Dahlia linked herself to Freya's magic really which made her more powerful but unfortunately the same doesn't go for Freya so she still uses just her own magic.

"The spell is going to stop your heart for twenty four hours assuming it works." Esther said to her daughter. 

"We need assurance, not assumptions." Klaus said.

"Well you forced me to write a spell that can stop someone's heart for hours and it hasn't been tested even so no Niklaus I cannot assure you that it will work, and if it kills her you all will be responsible." she scolded.

"It will work, it has to. If it's true you love me as much as you say you do then you will do right by me and keep me safe." Freya said to her mother.

I held both her hands, now is not the time to hate her and by risking her life I think she is proving to me that she doesn't intend to hurt Ayah. "You don't have to do this, if you don't want to." I said softly to her. I don't want her sacrificing herself. I would have been in her shoes if it was possible.

"Riley, Ayah is my niece and I will die if it means saving her. Trust me on this." she said giving me a hug I wasn't expecting. 

Esther did the spell and Freya was now dead. It didn't take long until Dahlia was here.  

She is alone and Ayah is not here with her. "Where is she?" I asked her with anger.

"What have you done to Freya?" the moment she spoke lights started flickering. 

"I killed her, sister. I killed one of my children to put a stop at your evil schemes." 

"Esther, I told you to join me and we would have been the most powerful witches the world has ever seen." she flicked her hand and Esther's ankles cracked, she groaned in pain. She tried to use  some magic against Dahlia but she broke her wrist. Elijah and Finn charged at her and she pulled out Elijah's heart and desiccated Finn with just her touch.

"I loved Freya like a daughter and you killed her!!!" she yelled and the lights went off. When the lights went back on, both Esther and Dahlia were gone.

I started smashing everything, breaking chairs and tables. Hayley took Hope to the bayou that way she wouldn't be in danger. 

Ahhhhhhh, I was panting. Our plan was useless.

"You are the reason, if my daughter wasn't a Mikaelson she would be safe. Your family did this, your mother did this." I started punching Klaus. I was blamming him even though he was innocent on this one. His mother kidnapped him and forced him. He didn't rape me or anything but he was a victim like me.

I slapped him, he was bleeding from his nose and his silence was driving me crazy, I needed him to do something, fight back at least but he did something else. 

He grabbed my face and smashed his lips against mine. It took me by surprise, I froze before I kissed him back. I have wanted to taste his lips on mine, to be loved by him or liked but he never gave me any signs that he did. He just lead me to think he does but he has never acted on it.

He deeped the kissed, I let my tears flow, but I felt my muscles relax, the hopelessness was washed away and I was forgetting the situation around us. We have a dead Freya on the couch and temporary dead brothers on the floor. The house was a mess, and yet here we are kissing like nothing is wrong. This is wrong. 

I pulled away and slapped him hard, again. If it was someone else, I would be dead right now but I think Klaus Mikaelson has just comfirmed his feelings for me in that kiss even though it's been ten whole years in between.

I stommed out of the compound.
