Twisted Bonds

Chapter 61: Sage

Emma's POV

A week passed by with no incidents. Maybe peace between Elena's gang and the Originals was possible. But, of course, with this town, things don't stay quiet for long.

I was spending the night at the Mikaelson mansion. Elena had really started to get on my nerves. She still hadn't forgiven me for stopping Esther from getting rid of the Originals. She would start an argument with me almost every time we ran into each other. And since we both lived in the same house, it was hard to avoid her.

I needed a break from her, so I called Rebekah and asked if she was down for a sleepover at her place. That was the night that the short period of peace ended.

Rebekah and I were about to watch a movie. Rebekah was in the living room getting the movie set up while I was preparing a bowl of popcorn for us. I heard the doorbell ring. I glance in the direction of the door. "Rebekah, do you want me to answer the door?" I called out.

"Yeah, sure." she called back.

I approached the door and opened it. Standing in the entrance was a woman who looked to be in her late twenties or early thirties. She was over five and half feet tall. She had red hair that was lightly curled and fell just below her shoulders. Something about her seemed...off. "Hello, can I help you?" I asked the red headed stranger.

She looked to be slightly confused at me opening the door. She lightly shook her head and answered my question. "Hi, um, do the Mikaelsons live here?" she asked.

Should I tell her? She doesn't seem to be a threat to them... "Yeah, why? Are you friends with one of them?" I asked.

"I guess you could say that. I'm close with Finn. Is he here?" she asked.

"I think he's here. Let me just see if I can find him. Come on in and wait here." I said as I stepped aside to let her in.

As I walked away, she called out to me. "Wait! Who are you? I didn't think the Misaelson's would have a human living with them."

"Oh, I don't live here with them. Well, not yet, at least." I said.

I tried walking away again, but the woman sped in front of me. "What do you mean by 'yet'? Just who are you to them?" the woman asked.

I could sense something in her shift. Her friendly persona was long gone. She seemed irritated. Just how close was she to Finn? Were they lovers at some point? I knew that if she knows Finn, then that would mean that she is a very old, and very strong vampire. Angering her is the last thing I would want to do. "Well, I'm best friends with Rebekah." I said. It wasn't a lie, but it wouldn't be the main reason for my eventual move in.

"Emma, I have the movie all set up. What's taking so long? Who was at..." Rebekah started as she walked into the room. "You...what are you doing here?"

"I've come for Finn. I've been waiting centuries for him to wake up so that we could be together." the woman said.

What she said confirmed what I had thought. It's a good thing I didn't tell her about being soulmates with him. If she waited this long to be with him only to find that he had a soulmate, she would've ripped my throat out.

"Emma, go find one of my brothers." Rebekah told me. I nodded and headed out of the room.

The first one I found was Elijah. I told him of the situation and led him to where I had left the woman and Rebekah.

We walked into the room. By getting a proper look at the both of them, I could tell that they did not like each other. "Sage, what a surprise. Why have you come?" Elijah asked.
