Fighting For A New Future

Chapter 29

Ayanna Bennett, the wispy form of an elderly witch, nodded at the Mikaelson siblings. Her eyes, filled with wisdom and understanding, seemed to pierce through their souls. They stood before her, feeling a mix of awe and respect. She smiled kindly, her wrinkled face crinkling into a warm expression. "It's good to see you all grown up. You've faced many trials and tribulations." Her voice was soft, like the rustling of leaves in a gentle breeze. "You've come a long way since the days when you first turned." She turned to her descendant. "Bianca Elysia Bennett, the only witch to ever free herself from the laws of nature." Gasps filled the room from the occupants who didn't know this information. "My dear, your actions so far have pleased us greatly, you are fair and just." Ayanna placed her hand on the cheek of the younger witch. "We were skeptical when you told us your mission but now we see that it is your purpose." Bianca gave a confused look. "Witches from the other side have been talking a great deal of you. They have all agreed. There was a prophecy from a first witch, a prophecy of hope, of a witch who would bring peace and unity." Her eyes shone with awe and wonder. "You, Bianca Elysia Bennett, are the chosen one. The Balance of good and evil." Her words hung in the air as everyone looked at the teenage witch in disbelief. They had never heard of such a prophecy. Ayanna saw the confusion in their eyes and nodded reassuringly. "It's true. You are the one they have been waiting for." She then looked at the three males she had come to know. "She will need you all. Stand together as you have." Enzo, Jeremy, and Tyler looked at the witch.

"Without a doubt." They spoke. "We are family."

"Until we die." Bianca added.

"Carry on as you have. We will be watching and are here if you need anything. You, my dear, are special." Was the last thing Ayanna said as she faded back to the other side and Enzo pulled Bianca into his arms.

"You'll not go through this alone. We are here with you every step of the way." He assured her.

"Thank you, Enzo." Bianca sighed, leaning into his embrace. "I can't believe she just told us all that."

Jeremy chuckled softly, ruffling his sister's hair. "Well, you've always been special, B. You've got us. We'll get through this together."

Tyler nodded in agreement, wrapping an arm around Enzo's shoulders. "And we'll make sure no one will ever hurt you."

The room was silent for a moment, as everyone processed the implications of what they had just heard. Then, Bianca's expression shifted from surprise to determination. "Alright." She said, straightening her back. "Let's get back to it. We have work to do." She turned to the Mikaelson siblings.

"You said you could help Kol?" Rebekah questioned. "How?"

"You also said something about a light that involves me, Rebekah, Enzo, and Tyler. What does that mean?" Finn asked. "And why wasn't Kol included?"

Bianca's POV

I motioned for them to sit and was not surprised when Tyler stood next to Finn who sat on the couch with Enzo who was beside Rebekah. Kol, on the other hand, sat by himself but I could feel his eyes on me. Jeremy and Elijah were cuddled up on a sofa by themselves. Klaus sat on the arm of the chair that I occupied.

"Along with being all that I am." I started. "I possess the gift of seeing soulmates." I explained the golden glow and the golden string, after explaining they looked at me skeptically except Kol. "I know it seems far-fetched but it is true, look at Elijah and Jeremy." I pushed my magic outwards towards the pair and a bright golden glow showed around them. "The brighter the glow the closer the connection between mates."

"Klaus is your mate?" Kol asked.

"He is." I confirmed.

"So why don't I have a glow?" His eyes held the sadness at the possibility of not having a mate. I smiled softly.

"Not everyone has met their soulmates, they have a silver hue around them, and for those whose soulmates have passed, and dull grey hue." I explained to Kol.

"Which do I have?" He lost all hope as I began my explanation.

"Gold." His head snapped to mine. "You have a golden glow. It's just that your glow is linked." I pushed my power outwards once more but to his direction, showing his golden glow that connected to mine. "To me."

Kol looked at his hands, confused. "So...you're saying I'm your soulmate?" I nodded. "But so is Klaus." He pointed out. I smiled gently.

"Yes. You see, Klaus and I are bonded, but I am also bonded with you. You both are my other half, you both make me whole." I could see the question in his eyes. "That doesn't mean you and Klaus are bonded. I will be the half that completes you and the half that completes Klaus."

"Now my question." Rebekah spoke. "How can you help Kol?"

"As you know I am a witch that isn't bound to nature my magic comes from within me, it uses intent rather than chants, although I use the chants so people don't know otherwise." I started again. "Tyler is a werewolf that needs to kill to trigger the change. He would painful shifts every month losing his mind to his wolf side." I saw Finn grip Tyler's arm as I talked about his supernatural genes. "I found a way to rid him of that forced shifting while giving him the free will to change whenever he wants and his wolf knows when to appear and when to leave." To prove my point Tyler flashed his golden eyes to the occupant of the room. "He doesn't try to control his wolf, they are like two different sides of the same coin." I looked at Kol. "I could give Kol his magic back."

"But how?" Kol asked.

"I have been studying how for years. If Klaus hadn't been my mate and was uncooperative, I would have threatened him to free you all or take the coffins myself. He wouldn't be able to find you until I let him." I said, looking into his eyes. "I can do it But it won't be easy, and it won't be quick."

Kol looked at me, searching my eyes for any lies. "What would you need to do?"

"I would need to put a portion of my magic into your body and make a magical core from where you can draw power, the process is going to be painful as I'll be making, call it an extra organ."

"I'll do it even if it hurts. Anything to get my magic back."

"We'll do it when we break Klaus's curse."
