Slow Burn [Klaus Mikaelson Story]

64. Coffins

The drive back to Mystic falls was something, I sat behind squeezed between Ashlee and Watt while Atticus drove with Elijah in passenger seat. No one really said anything but I knew they had too many questions running in their mind.

When we reached the estate I gladly invited all three of them in, the siblings fell asleep as soon I told them where they cam crash and and when I told Atticus what grandma has asked for, he vanished in an instant and brought a human with him. He brought me a silver dagger with purple rose similar to my ring wrapped around its hilt.

"I am sorry, I promise I will make sure your family live a good life" I say, she nods her head, closing her eyes. Atticus found a woman who was dying because of her heart having 99% blockage, with nothing to her name, Doctors gave her few days to live, Atticus will take her back, already compelled the doctors.  I drive the dragger through the woman's heart, I quickly bring my fingers and swipe at the blood and lick it, and instantly I feel hungry and without second thoughts I drove my fangs into her wrist, drinking her dry.

I look at my knuckles and see them healing fast again.

"I see you have re-gained your powers" Elijha comments, coming from behind me.

"Yes" I smile with bloodied mouth making him chuckle, "I'll be right back" I go inside and wash my face, and run back outside again. I see Elijha sitting on the steps of the entryway.

I sit next to him finally letting out a breath of relief as I start to feel myself again.

"So care to tell me what my brother exactly did?"

So I explained him everything I see his features turn from shock into anger.

"One good thing my brother gets but he all throws away because of his insecurities and trust issues" he scoffs, he then looks at me, "Do you like my brother?" he asks.

"I think so yeah and maybe that why his compulsion affected the way it did" I tell him,"Speaking of compulsion, I would really love to if you know, you can keep my secret about this whole thing. I really don't want to compel you socially after everything you have done for me" I tell him honestly.

"Isla, you have my word I swear I will die before I utter your truth" he promise with genuine sincerity.

"Thank you, so during when I was in coma did anyone tried to contact me?" I ask.

"Unfortunately not, I wanted my presence here in Mystic Fall hidden, and figure out what happened to you and I can catch you with what is happening with all of them" he answers.

"Make sense, and sure go ahead I kinda miss the drama" I chuckle.

"Well after bringing back to you the apartment, I how do you say it snooped around turns out Stefan Salvatore is out for revenge, he has stolen the coffins Klaus stored all of my siblings in?"

"Coffins?"

"Let's just say Klaus doesn't like when any of us disagreed with him so he used to stab us and store us in coffins, Kol for over a century, Finn for 900 years, Rebekah and I were the ones he frequently daggers and un-daggered, but now he had daggers Rebekah as well and now she is one of the coffins which is stolen by Stefan"

"Do you know where he is keeping them?" I ask, he shake his head no.

"Hmm"

"Well you free to stay here as long as you want" I tell him.

"I am really grateful for your offer but it's time I make my presence known to my brother" he says standing up.

"Elijha I really cannot thank you enough for everything you have done for me" I smile at him.

He takes my hands in his and kisses my forehead, "Make you don't let my brother off the hook easily, make him suffer I will be glad to help and We will meet again and you take care of yourself" with that he vanishes.

"Well isn't that romantic" I heart Ashlee's voice, I see her leaning against the doorframe with an annoying smirk.

"Wipe that smirk off of your face before I wipe it for you" I say running at human speed as she lets out a squeal running back in.

They both return back to main city, the. same evening due to school and work.

The next day, before the siblings can wake up. I made my way to the Salvatore house. Before I can raise my fist to knock the door swings open and I am engulfed ion a hug.

"Where have you been?" he looks at me, I give him a bored look.

"Listen I am sorry for that day, I was just pissed at Stefan fir that he did and took it out on you"

"All good" I give him a small smile.

"So will you tell me where were you?" he asks pulling me in.

"It 's complicated and not important right now. Right now what important is the fact I heard Stefan stole Klaus's coffins" I make towards the sofa and plop myself down.

"Well, my baby bro is out for revenge, Klaus has one weakness and its the family so he struck exactly right there, and now Klaus is trying to send message by hurting -"

"Hurting how?"

"He used Tyler to hang out with Jeremy, so he can get the lil Gilbert off of the vervain and compel him. to stand in front of a moving car however Alaric jumped and saved him and, Tyler bit Caroline and then Klaus saved her by giving her his blood.

"And guess what we have three of the sibling and we know Elijah is in the wind, however there is fourth box which we can't open, and Bonnie says that coffin is the key to kill Klaus" he finishes.

"That is a first" I breath out, "An unknown coffin that is locked and is the key to killing Klaus color me intrigued."

He raises his eyebrow at me,"Aren't you suppose to have that moral compass for thing can't do things until things are done to you?"

"Doesn't matter much, I have my how's and why's" I tell him shrugging, shutting him down.

"Okay then so shall I show you where the coffins are?" He says with a smirk.

Lead the way.

We reach the house where witches were burnt.

"Smart" I comment walking inside.

I hear mutiple voices coming from downstairs.

I look at Damon in question who just shrugs nonchalantly and keeps on walking downstairs.

As I get closer the voices got louder I see Stefan, Bonnie and Elena standing, arguing about why Bonnie got Elena here.

"That's entertaining" I comment taking everyone's attention.

"Isla" they all say in unison.

I ignore them and walk towards the coffins, one out of four perched up higher than the rest. I walk over to it, "is this the one?" I ask Damon.

"It is."

I place my hand on the polished wood and I feel strong magic oozing out of it.

"Its locked with magic, only two witches related- working together I am guess it's you  and your mother" I turn around looking at Bonnie.

"How do you know all this?" Stefan questions breathlessly.

"Doesn't matter" I walk towards where Damon is standing.

"That is correct, I had this dream at first I couldn't place, it's my mom Abby the witches wants me to get to her and with her help I think I can open it and that is why I told Elena I need her help to find her" she says clarifying.
