Chapter 9- Runs In The Family

Once the other Mikaelson siblings returned, Elijah addressed Klaus about Dominic's location.

"What's the matter, Elijah? Scared of losing your precious little witch," Klaus teased.

"Neeklaus, I told Lake no harm would come to her friend," Elijah said.

"Oh please, he's fine. If I wanted to kill him, I would've done it a long time ago," Klaus said, rolling his eyes.

"Then where is he," Elijah asked.

"At his house," Klaus said, "Any more questions, or can we get on with dealing with our mother and Finn?"

"She's a witch, isn't she?"

They all turned to Lake and Ace.

"Your mother. I felt her magic," Lake said.

"You're pretty bold sneaking in here," another vampire said.

"Technically, I didn't sneak in. I quite literally knocked on the door and walked in," Lake corrected.

"Lake and Ace meet my other two siblings. Rebekah and Kol," Elijah introduced.

"I guess sexiness runs the genes," Ace smirked, earning him a sharp elbow to the ribs.

"You didn't hurt Dominic, but you turned him," Lake said.

"Relax, love. I made him stronger and faster," Klaus said, "If anything, you should be thanking me for improving your friend."

"Right," Lake scoffed.

"You know our mother is a witch," Rebekah said, "How?"

"I could feel her magic when I opened her coffin," Lake explained, "Did something happen to her?"

"We believe she's trying to kill us," Elijah said.

"What? Why," Lake asked.

"Something about us being abominations. Blah, blah, blah," Kol said.

"And I thought my parents were assholes," Ace muttered.

"Yes, well, that's the Mikaelson family for you," Klaus said, "Our lives are constantly ruined by shitty parents."

"Like you haven't done your fair share of destroying our lives," Kol snarked, side-eyeing Klaus.

"Children, please," Elijah said.

"Maybe we can help. You'll need another witch, right," Lake asked.

"Why would you help us," Rebekah asked, "No offense, but I've had enough of backstabbing traitors in Mystic Falls."

"Because you didn't kill Dominic," Lake said, "You returned him home safe. Like I said, my friends mean a lot to me."

"You're not even strong enough to take on our mother," Kol said, "She'd kill you with a blink."

"Maybe you're right, but it's worth a shot. It'll be good training for me," Lake shrugged.

"Training? More like a suicide mission," Kol said, "But hey, be my guest."

"Sounds to me like you're concerned for my safety," Lake teased, winking at him.

Kol rolled his eyes and smirked.

"So then, where do we start," Ace asked.

"Excuse us for a moment," Lake said, pulling Ace aside, "You're not going."

"You really think I'm going to let you fight Mother Mikaelson by yourself," Ace hissed.

"One of us has to go back home, or Sasha will lose her mind," Lake reasoned, "If the Mikaelsons die, so do you. I can't let that happen."

Ace wanted to argue but she had a point. They need a witch, and Sasha needs to make sure they're okay.

Or at the very least, she needs to know what's going on, in case they need to step in.

"You better at least get Mikaelson dick for this shit," Ace started.

"Go," Lake laughed, pushing him towards the door.

Ace walked out of the house and headed back home. Lake turned to the Mikaelson siblings.

"How can I help?"
