Bennett Coven

Chapter 21

 Morrigan was spending the morning with just her little family. Her and Niklaus moved some of thier hobby things into the nursery. Morrigan knew she was luckier than most first time parents considering they didn't have a house elf. Or the abiliti to banish soiled nappies. Morrigan would hear the twins make one sound before Lucky appeared. It had only been a couple months since they'd been born. But Morrigan thought she might actually like doin gthe hard stuff. So this time when Lucky popped in, she stopped her. "Lucky, I love you but maybe you have to come every three times the babies cry. Niklaus and I can handle some things." Lucky looked unsure.

"I sorry, Young Mistress, I have always helped this way. I helped Young Mistress this way. Mean Mummy didn't get to Young Mistress fast enough. But I hid and always made sure Young Mistress was well."

"And that's why I love you. But I am not my mum." She nodded then popped away. Morrigan got up and picked up Manik.

There was a knock on the door midday. It was Vaerick, one of Niki's hybrids but also the contractor building the homes and turning the Castle property into more of a compound. "Good morning, Vaerick," Morrigan said as she bounced Manik.

"Good morning. I wanted to tell you we finished the first three homes. The interior designers have been done since this morning. All the furniture has been moved in."

"That's wonderful. I'll let them know today. Thank you. The crew has a month off before starting on the next three." Vaerick nodded before leaving.

"How many homes are we putting on the property?"

"Well it's not like real estate is really available in a town this small. Unless we want to start compelling people from their homes. Which would be hard considering vervain in the water supply," that was the only thing that had been done recently. The Castle had to create a magical filtration system.

"Which is why you should have let us go after the Founder's council."

"Let's get rid of our supernatural threats first. Then we can work on that. I told you what I saw for our town," She had told him about her vision. And he wanted to work hard at making it become a reality but Morrigan knew the streets owuld run red with blood. Her and the coven were making plans.

Morrigan was driven to the new houses. Currently, it had been on a dirt road but Morrigan planned on paving it soon. She brought Solaya and Manik with her in a sleek, magical, double pram. Diana, Leslie, and Naomi got out of their cars. Each one knew which house was theirs. Diana's had glass around the patio and it was already filled with flowers and plants. Naomi's was more of a traditional cottage. It had two bedrooms and a lab where the garage was supposed to be. Leslie's home had hanging edible flora on the large porch with the porch swing. Each woman was given the same amount of space and just chose to do it differently. fOr instance, Diana chose a sauna instead of a laundry room.

"These are amazing!" Leslie said in her accent as she walked up to her house. Morrigan handed them all keys to their homes.

"Well they're your homes. I'm glad you love them." Morrigan's phone rang and it was Dahlia. She answered it quickly since Dahlia never used her phone. "Hello?"

"She's arrived. Town Center."

"I'm on my way back now." Morrigan said before hanging up. She looked at her cousins.

"Freya?" Naomi asked and Morrigan nodded.

"I know you both want to make yourselves at home. But-"

"We're coming back with you."

"Thank you. I'll need the coven to stay around Sol and Mani while I go with the Mikaelsons and confront their family."

"Hopefully soon it will be over," Diana said, she loved having family but she dind't enjoy the constant fighting and drama.

Morrigan dropped off the babies with the family and all the Mikaelsons got in two black suburbans. Morrigan was in the car with Rebekah and Niklaus. Elijah was in the other car with Kol and Dahlia. "So what exactly is the plan with this long lost sister?" Rebekah asked as they were driving up.

"We listen and if she chooses violence, so do we," Morrigan answered honestly. The car pulled up and Morrigan felt her. then they all saw her standing there with Finn. The two held hands and looked very determined. There were other people around but seemed to be ignoring them. Morrigan started casting Notice Me Not Charms on them all.

Niklaus got out first and held his hand out to Morrigan so she could get out of the car. Finn started heading towards them but Freya put her hand on his chest and stopped him. Elijah and Kol got out but lastly, Dahlia did. Freya seemed to be shocked that she was with them. "Are they your puppets? Your power has grown that great?" Freya asked as they approached. They spoke as everyone kept going on normally around them.

"I have no puppets, Freya," Dahlia said honestly. She didn't stand in the middle of the Mikaelsons. More off to the side. Morrigan was in the midst of them all with Niklaus.

"Then what lies did you tell them to get them to stand with you?" Freya asked.

"No lies. I was honest. I have admitted my faults. But it has been so long and you still haven't let go of the past."

"I will never let it go," she said angrily.

"Then you will never get a chance at being a part of a family again," Morrigan told her.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Morrigan."

"She's the woman I will marry and the woman who has given birth to the next generation of our family," Niklaus said, holding Morrigan's hand.

"Only for her to take them!" Freya said.

"Was your childhood really so awful? To know powerful magic that helped you survive while millions perished?!" Dahlia asked, frustrated.

"I would have rather died." Morrigan rolled her eyes.

"You Mikaelsons are so dramatic. I understand what decisions she's made. I also understand what decisions you made. Killing your child was your decision. You could have birthed it and ran. You chose not to." Morrigan said.

"Run forever?"

"Or done as I have. Built a community that was your strength. You don't have to be the enemy, Freya."

"As long as she is on your side, I will be," Finn took them and run away.

"Seems he's found another woman's skirts to hide behind," Niklaus said of Finn. He hadn't even spoken to them.

"It's not as if they are any true threat to us," Kol said as they walked back to the cars. Dahlia sighed.

"No. She will likely be only after me," she said.

"We will protect you," Morrigan told Dahlia.

"I do not need protection. Nor do I want it. If she's managed to weaken and kill me, the gods meant for me to go." Morrigan nodded, knowing how important they were. And she appreciated that Dahlia was devout enough to let fate take its pick.
