The Perfect Mikaelson's

Abbie

When I wake up, I instantly know something's wrong. I know the spell failed, so either I'm trapped on The Other Side, or worse, something happened while I was out and I'm left cleaning it up.

I look around the room, immediately recognizing it inside the Salvatore house. It's not alarming since I passed out, but me being alone is.

Even when I step outside the room, I expect to find Derek or even Avery outside. I find no one.

Making my way down the hallway, voices start to filter closer, I'm able to make out Avery, Rafe and Stefan. No Damon and Derek. Total red flag.

Walking over to the couch, I sink down beside Stefan, curling up into his side. "Where's Derek?" I whisper, dry from probably hours of having nothing to drink. I regret not grabbing a water before sitting down.

Stefan grows tense, sending up another red flag. I look up at him, seeing him stare at Avery. I look at her, seeing her watching me carefully, and then I look to Rafe who has yet to learn what a poker face is.

"Something happened." They remain silent, which is all the information I need to start going over everything in my head.

Whatever it is, they don't want to tell me. I had safeguards in place in case the spell went south, so I know Davina is safe, probably a little confused, but safe.

Damon and Derek are both missing, but nothing looks out of place or broken. So they didn't fight, but the three of them were acting weird and Stefan tensed up when I asked about Derek.

When I passed out, they probably called Bonnie immediately. She would've come over, checked on the babies and made sure it wasn't a spell affecting me.. but what else?

If they called Bonnie, she wouldn't have found anything wrong. They would've known to wait it out. Right?

Unless something else happened and they took me to the hospital. If they would've done an ultrasound to check on the babies, they would've seen..

"They know, don't they?" My heart threatens to jump out of my chest when Avery nods. Bile climbs up my throat as tears threaten to spill out. "How?" My voice shakes, sounding so small, I'm not even sure if I even made a sound.

"We couldn't find the babies heartbeats when Bonnie arrived. Damon called Meredith Fell and she did an ultrasound. She was confused on how the babies had two different due dates." Stefan says softly.

I push myself up, struggling but getting there eventually, looking around for my things. I spot my car keys and shoes by the door, heading for them when Avery steps in front of me.

"Abs, you need to calm down, okay? I think I know what's going on, but you have to stay calm. We can handle this tomorrow, right now you just need to rest." I shake my head, swiping away the tears. "I need to go find them. Damon probably hates me and Derek is probably halfway to California with Haidyn. Where's Hope?!"

She grabs my face, stopping me from looking around. "Hope is still with Sarah at your house. Derek is at a hotel in town and Damon is still M.I.A.."

"I know where he is. I'll go find him."

"He needs time to calm down, Abbie." I turn to Stefan, my lips trembling. He's always called me Abs. Abbie feels like a betrayal and it only tells me how pissed he is.

I've ruined everything.

Avery warned me this would happen, but I didn't listen. I knew she was right and I would normally agree but I was so stupid and refused to see the truth. What I did was wrong and now I have to try and fix it even though there may be nothing to fix."
