Slow Burn [Klaus Mikaelson Story]

59. Papa Original

"Congratulations Bennet you fucked up natures balance" I say as I run downstairs.

I see Caroline, Ms Sheila and Bonnie sitting in the middle of the room.

"What are you doing here?" Caroline hisses at me.

"Not now blondie" I scoff at her.

"You must be Ms Sheila" I say gaining her attention as soon as her eyes land on me they widen like a saucer.

"You-" she slowly gets up. She walks over to me and takes me to a secluded corner.

"Me?"

"You look exactly like her" she looks at me like I am a ghost or something.

"Like who?" I furrow my eyebrows.

"The first witch, Estella Darius" she whispers.

"Yeah well she is my grandmother" I shrug in response.

"That is not possible."

"It is, my name is Isla Darius" I tell her.

"That means you are 1500 years old."

I give her tight lip smile making both Caroline gasp, " I am old aren't I, and I am shocked that you know about my family history."

Stupid vampire hearing

"How can I not, she was the one who blessed Bennet family with the powers." My eyes widen.

"What?" Caroline scoffs walking towards us, and without a beat missing I snap her neck making the other two gasp..

"Your granddaughter has been screwing around with her powers upsetting nature's balance if my grandmother gave you your powers I am pretty sure I can take it back" I hiss look at Bonnie, who gave me confused expression.

"Yeah" we both walk over to her and Shelia scolds her.

"I just saved Jeremy" Bonnie whimpers.

"Yeah well you upset the balance, when you brought back Jeremy you were suppose to kill someone in his place to set the scales equal, a life for a life which you didn't do, and yesterday you messed up with the Vicki's spell, due to Matt's stupidity she was tethered to this world- but when you sent her back you basically killed her again and made the vile thinner" I say making her eyes widen.

"I didn't know that."

"Shouldn't have messed around with something you don't know in the first place" I grit my teeth at her.

"A witch from other side, widen the crack Bonnie created and her talisman is here keeping the gate wide open- we don't know what" Shelia informs me, distracting me from Bonnie.

"Hand me your grimoire" I extend my hand and fortunately she gave the book to me without hesitation.

I flip the pages and stop at the spell I was looking for, "This is the spell that will clean up your mess, you will need that witches talisman as my guess its that necklace Elena has, is it is the anchor, and be ready to face the consequences" I point to the spell and hand her the book.

"How do you know?" she asks pathetically.

I shrug.

"Won't you stay?" Shelia asks.

"It is your grand daughters mess she should be the one to clean it up" I glare at Bonnie.

I walk back where we were standing and bend down, grabbing Caroline's collar, shaking her awake.

As soon as I stepped outside all the anger subsided, I let out a breath that I didn't know I was holding.

"Well done Miss Isla" Atticus is leaning against the pillar with a proud smile on his face.

"Heard the whole thing?"

"The whole thing" he confirms.

"It was scary" I breath out.

"No, it was the real you."

"I liked it lowkey" I mumble.

"Don't worry, slowly you will become what you are" he walks over to me.

My phone starts to ring, "What now?" I grumble.

"Yeah you need to come to Lockwood old Cellar" Damon grunts making me roll my eyes.

"Be there" I hang up the call.

"Go" Atticus ruffles my hair.

-/-

"Damon!" I shout.

"In here!" I hear his voice from a tunnel, I speed in, looking around the cave to see bunch of booby traps laid.

"What's going on here" I ask as I see a lot of lights at the end of the cave.

"Apparently Mason Lockwood said we can find a way to kill an original in here" I hear Alarics voice from inside.

I am bout to take my step forward when Damon stops me, "Don't bother the cave is anti-vampire."

"I can try" I shrug and take the step forward easily stepping inside. I hear him groan, "Perks of being a royal and werewolf" I whisper at him.

He flips me off making me giggle.

"So what we are we looking for?" I place my hands on my hips turning to Ric.

"There a lot of drawings here" he shines flash on an empty wall with two-three drawings.

"No there isn't, there are only few" I furrow my eyebrows at him

"What? The whole wall is filled with scribbles" Damon says.

"No I can only see a few" I point towards the drawings I can see.

"You mean you can't see these?" Alaric shows me a photography of five to six figures, I shake my head no, "Not even the names?" he shows me another picture and I shake my head no.

"Mark the ones you can see will you?"Alaric hands me dozen of photographs with a sharpie and I quickly mark all of them. 

"What does it mean?" Damon ask raising his eyebrow, I shrug, "No idea."

"What does the names mean?" I hand the picture to Alaric which he showed me previously.

"The original family names, Elijah, Niklaus, Rebekha, and Mikael" Alaric tells me.

"Mikael?"

"Right I didn't tell you?" I turn my head to look at Damon.

"When I went MIA-"

"You mean when you're throwing your tantrum?" I snicker.

"Yes when I was throwing my tantrum, I got out of town with Kathrine who kidnapped Jeremy to find out who Mikael is-"

"How did you find out about Mikael?"

"Katherine did back in Chicago, not the point. So we asked little Gilbert to talk to his dead girlfriend and she told well she told us through Jeremy that Mikael is a vampire who hunts vampire and was in old cemetery in Charlotte."

"Was?" I raise my eyebrow at him.

"Kathrine found him and lost him" he scrunches his eyes in fear.

"That is just fantastic" I sarcastically reply.

"Anyway why do you think his name is here?" I turn to Alaric

"Best guess he is papa original" Damon says, making my eyes widen.

After taking pictures of the marking on the cave we took it to Alaric's loft.
