My Sunshine | Camille O'Connell

(73) Night Has a Thousand Eyes | Part 2

I called Elijah.

"How's my favorite brother doing?" I said as cheerily as possible.

"What happened?" He deadpanned.

I sigh. "Nik and I have been spending the day with our father and now he wants us to take down Dahlia tonight. I was wondering if you could come along and save us from dying? As usual?"

"Our father? Talia, hold on-" He gasped into the phone.

I nod. "Yeah, I forgot to say that part slowly. Mikael is with us now and Nik somehow convinced him to join forces with us in taking down our aunt. How was house hunting?"

I could hear the eye roll. "Ms. LaRue has agreed to securing a safe house with properties to negate the use of magic. I'll have Marcel escort Hayley and Jackson there tonight. I can't go into detail, I need to find Freya."

I pause. "Where is she?"

He sighs. "Rebekah discovered Dahlia draws her power from our sister and assumed the worst. Her and Hayley refuse to budge, but I will not be giving up on her."

I nod. "Okay. But when you find her, keep her away from this fight. I predict it's going to get ugly. See you soon, brother. Love you!"

He smiles. "Love you too. Stay safe until I can get to you."

I snort. "No promises." Before hanging up and joining my brother and father around Davina.

The teenager glared at my brother. "I swear this is the last time you ask me for something."

I smile. "Nik will give you the ashes. But Davina, if you want to join the family one day you have got to get used to this."

Mikael raised an eyebrow. "What are you blathering about?"

I smirk. "Davina got a taste for Mikaelson and is all over Kol."

He paused. "Who?"

I looked at him in disbelief. "Your second youngest son. Looks like Elijah if you pressed him vertically."

Mikael was deep in thought for a moment before his eyes widen. "Oh yes! The wild one with whom was responsible for me dueling almost every father in the village after he defiled their daughters before marriage."

I scoff. "Don't act like you didn't enjoy killing people."

He shrugged. "Had to sit the little whelp down and explain that if he needed release that badly to go after the married ones."

I roll my eyes. "Gross. I'm sure he was shocked you were speaking to him."

Mikael scoffs. "If he wanted to leave an impression he should have spent more time training and less time distracting himself with harlots."

Klaus paused. "Classic Kol. Allowed to do anything."

I shake my head. "Nik, that wasn't the paradise you think it was. One doesn't spawn an inferiority complex from thin air. It comes from child neglect."

Our father rolls his eyes. "You truly will just start making up ways to say you were abused., don't you? Another way to blame me for ruining your life."

I snort. "You did!"

Davina pipes up. "Hang on! I thought Kol's playboy behavior was his way of coping with being a vampire and his loss of magic?"

Klaus snorts. "Who told you that rubbish?"

She gulps. "Kol."

Mikael, Klaus, and I nod sarcastically. "Figures."
