My beautiful Athena | Blaise zabini

Chapter 8

Athena Mikaelson

Leaving the dining hall to find somewhere to sit was quiet. Blaise held my hand leading me to a bench. It was rather cold but that didn't bother me.

" can we play 20 questions?" I asked breaking the silence.

" what's that" he asked back, confusion on his face.

" it's a game, we get to ask each other 20 questions each to get to know one another better" I explained and he nodded.

" OK great I'll start, what are your powers" I asked curious.

" I can control lightning and electricity, I'm also a wizard with the wand but I can do wandless magic and I'm a telekinesis" he responds, fascination on my face.

" what are your powers?" he asked back.

" I'm a witch, vampire, controller of all four elements and telekinesis" I beamed seeing the amazement behind his eyes.

" what's your story?" I asked softly.

"My name is Blaise Zabini, I was born November 1st to my mother, I never knew my father, he died before I was born. I'm a pure blood, in the wizarding world which is my world, there are such things called a muggle-born, a half blood and a pureblood. A muggle-born is a witch or wizard born from muggle parents and a Muggle is a non-magical person, a half blood is a witch or wizard born from either a Muggle-born and a pureblood or a pureblood and a Muggle, and a pureblood is a witch or wizard born from original pure wizards" he paused to make sure I was still listening. I was.

"as I said I'm a pureblood, me and my mother are part of the scared 28. The scare 28 is a list of truly pureblood families, in my world purebloods are held on a pedestal especially if rich and some of us taught that anything that is not pureblood is looked down upon and deserves zero respect. I was taught to look down on anything that is not pureblood, but I guess you could say opening my horizons." he says and I can tell he's referring to me. I feel a sense of sadness that he has to go against what he knows for me.

"my mother is a famously beautiful witch who's had seven rich husbands, they all mysteriously died while being married to her. Them dying and being rich left all their vaults and everything they own us, though we didn't need it because we're already a rich family, but it never hurts to have more. When I was 11 my letter from Hogwarts came. Hogwarts is a school for wizards and witches, we learn about our culture and how do you spells and things you could never imagine. We spend seven years altogether at the school, start at 11 finish at 17. At Hogwarts, there are four houses that we are to to treat as our family since we live at Hogwarts for the whole year and get summers off. There's Slytherin, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff, I was in Slytherin and I had a family not friends. I would die for them willingly, they mean the world to me. We're a rather large group yet it seems pretty small with how tight we all are." he speaks with passion and I couldn't help but be memorized.

" I was born with these powers. I don't know where they came from tho, but they started getting bad this year. That power outage that had two countries down for five minutes was me. It happened because I was angry. Right now in my world there's a war going on between the light side and the dark side, me and my family on the dark side not willingly but we don't have a choice, this is the second wizarding war and because our parents were all on the dark side in the first one, we are expected to be on the dark side, whether we like it or not. I left needing a break from it and to find a way to work out these powers before the dark Lord finds out that I have them and it could be use to him. The light is working to stop him because he wants to kill anyone who isn't pureblood and he wants to take over the wizarding world" he says, lifting the sleeve to his right arm theres tattoo on it, it looks to be a skull in the snake, but it's moving.

"This is his mark, it's his claim over his followers. This mark makes me his follower and it hurts like hell" I gasped running my fingers over the tattoo, not knowing what to say as I feel my eyes sting.

" so what's your story?" he clears his throat quickly pulling the sleeve down and masking his emotions.

" well in 1001 AD there was a family of seven, at that time witchs and werewolves existed. They were a happy family until one evening the youngest brother and son of the family wanted to go on a walk and watch the turning of werewolves, not knowing that one of the werewolves would lead him to his death. His older brother Niklaus took him and that night the youngest brother died and his older brother rushed him back to their village, crying and screaming as he explained what had happened to his family, The mother of the family was in original witch and was broken after the death of her youngest so her and her husband made the decision to make a spell that would turn their family into vampires so they would live forever, but quickly they realize that that was a mistake as they watched their children become bloodthirsty vampires and killers" I could tell he was confused but fascinated.

" After Niklaus's first kill as a vampire, his werewolf side was triggered due to killing is how the werewolf in every were-wolfs blood is triggered and on the full moon he turned into a werewolf uncovering the truth, which was that Niklaus was the making of an affair between the mother and a werewolf, but she had lied to her husband to protect their family. The family being Esther the mother, Mikael the father, Finn the oldest son, Elijah the second oldest and then Niklaus and kol and their youngest sister Rebekah and then their youngest and died brother, but the father finding out that one of the sons he called his was not his, made his rage even worse and he abused him terribly and sometimes his own children" I continued.

I talked about the thousands of centuries that the family lived and how Niklaus dagger his siblings and put them in a box whenever they made him angry, I talked about how the father had hunted them down trying to kill them all, I talked about how Niklaus had killed almost all of his families lovers and made them terribly miserable, I talked about the centuries Niklaus spent trying to find the virtual that would give him control over changing into werewolf, I talked about how they were all brutal murderers and how the whole entire vampire community had hated them and tried hunting them down and killing them. I talked about how they couldn't be killed and they were the original vampires, I talked about everything.

" and then a one night stand between Niklaus and a werewolf name Haley resulted in the born of my cousin Hope on may 2, 1999, she's a tribrid like me" I had continued explaining to him now, focusing very close to the present.

" There was a woman named Estella Marina, she was 17 and she was an elements controller too but she didn't control all of them. In 1993 the 17-year-old had met the famous but only in the vampire community, Kol Mikaelson and they fell in love and for seven years they went through heartbreak, betrayal, and love over and over again until in 2000 on July 12th a baby took her first breath, they named her Athena Mikaelson. Kol Mikaelson had decided that the only way for his lover and his child to be safe was if he left them and until this day they are still secretly in contact and have never fallen out of love, but they stay away from each other for their daughters safety. I am a descendent from an original vampire. The vampire in me comes from my father side if I was to die right here right now I would come back in a few hours, but I would be a vampire and I would stay this age and I would look this way forever, being a vampire freezes your body forever, including your birth canal so you can never have children and for a man it freezes the sperm so never have babies so nobody knows how I was born but my mom and my dad call me their gift from God" I smile, memories flashing through my mind as I finish my story. I turned to blaise, the look on his face would've made you think I had told him something utterly extraordinary.

" You're astonishing" he whispered in shock and I smiled, we continued our game, not realizing how late it was getting until the sun started going down, and we had realized that we had skipped the rest of our classes.

He walked me back to my dorm kissing both my cheeks and my forehead, whispering a soft good night for turning and making his way his dorm as I opened my door and closed it smiling.

"Starting talking" I turn around to see Hope sitting on my bed.

OK so not gonna lie, it's been a long time since I've watched the originals and I was not re-watching it absolutely not. so if that's not how their story went then I solemnly apologize, but that's kind of what I remember happening. I don't know if it was actually that way, but yeah. 😭😭😭😭😭😭
