'A Time To Love & A Time To Die' Sequel To 'The Desire' Series (In Editing)

A City Filled With A Thousand Eyes.....(Edited)

Star P.O.V

After walking away from Freya I headed back home, as soon as I walked through the door I was embraced in an unexpected hug from Rebekah. I was a little taken back as I wasn't certain that everything had gone as planned, after she thanked me for not giving up on her before she brought up Kol. Which took me by surprise, Rebekah didn't want to return back into her own body until she found a way to bring him back, and of course I began to protest as I made a vow to Kol I would do that. Rebekah wanted me to focus on Chance, in keeping him safe as Dahlia would be here sooner than we expect while she found a way to return Kol. I had been adding too much on my plate and she was right my top priority was to keep my son, it was time for me to stop trying to save everyone else and focus saving him from Dahlia. I knew that I had to speak to Nik about what happened between Freya that we needed to put aside of the distrust we felt towards her for obvious reasons. Freya was the only one who really knew what Dahlia was capable of. We are all mistaken sometimes; sometimes we do wrong things, things that have bad consequences. But it does not mean the person evil, or that they cannot be trusted ever afterward.

When I told Nik about the conversation that Freya and I had he went totally nuts at me, I mean calling me foolish, that have I lost my mind by trusting her. I knew if I told him that I allow Freya to kill Esther it would just blow up in my face, but I only did that to show sign of peace it's not like Esther didn't deserve it. My whole night consisted of Nik yelling then moments of silence as he glared at me which would break him out yelling once again. Did I blame him being like this? No because he was set in his mind that Freya was in alliance with Dahlia, and just maybe he was right, but Elijah was right also about allowing my fears ended up having our son taken. As I told Nik, he could scream and shout at me as much as he wanted, Freya was on the same team as us, and he had to deal with it.

In the morning I went to see Damon in his room, he had been a little quite since the whole Rebekah incident, with the both of them technically breaking up had Damon in this slump. So I suggested that the both of us got out of the house, get some fresh air, and get away from all the drama in his house. I got Chance ready and placed in his stroller, as we were about to walk out Nik appeared, of course he didn't want us to leave the house as it was unsafe. We were not prisoners, I wasn't going to be kept under lock and key just because Nik was paranoid, so against his wishes I walked out with our son. I half expected Nik to come and stop me, but he didn't, Damon teased how I always knew how to keep Klaus in check. We walked down the streets of the French Quarter as I pushed Chance in the stroller, since his been home I've never done this with him, it felt nice for once to be just a mom talking her baby out just like any other mom. Damon and I spoke about random thins as we pass locals and tourists milling around the street, along with street musicians who are playing various instruments.

"This is nice...." I spoke as I looked around our surroundings, it was just nice to walk the streets of the quarters without having to look over my shoulder. Just to have a couple of hours of being normal, this what was needed after all the dramas.

"It's the French Quarters, nothing to get excited about." Damon attitude wasn't helping, I thought with bring him along it would snap him out of this mood he was in. I know what Damon felt a little out of place right now with Rebekah not wanting to go back into her own body. I just wish I could make him feel better, feel like he actually did have a purpose here.

"Damon... Come on, whenever have we done this?" I stopped to look at him, and he had this serious expression. I wanted today to be about me and him, for us to spend time with Chance to have a normal day away from the Mikaelson drama.

"Never." He spoke as he unbuckled Chance from the stroller, before picking him up into his arms. Chance screeched with joy as Damon held him, I loved that Damon had already a beautiful bond with him. "For this little guy sanity we needed to get out of that mad house. Remind me again why you teamed up with the girl who backstabbed you?" I gave him a look before taking Chance from him, I wasn't in the mood to talk about the alliance I had made with Freya. All night there had been yelling about my actions from Nik, I didn't need Damon to side with him now after he defended me.
