About to leave. They rounded the corner to the gates. A cracking sound alerted them. They turned to see their witch had been thrown back through the doors. Neck snapped. Heart torn from her chest.
Lucien stood before them with a certain original. Hope now cradled in their arms "I believe we've had the displeasure of meeting before" Lucien snarled as he caught sight of the golden blonde hair. Freya.
"Lucien, you surprise me, I'd have thought you of all people would want the great Niklaus Mikaelson dead"
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER?" Lucien shouted as his eyes lingered on Freya's body lying mortlessly on the floor. One of the vampires smirked at him with delight "You can hear her heart beating" he taunted "She is alive, they both are" he continued to smirk cunningly as he walked over to a lifeless Hayley and knelt over her "Maybe we should take her" the vampire pushed a strand of hair away from her face "Now that we no long have the child" he vamped across the room to where Freya lay so vulnerable "Or we could take her. She's definitely a pretty one" his smirk grew as he looked at Lucien, hand hovering over her face "NO" Lucien launched himself at the vampire and effortlessly ripped his heart from his chest "Now, who's next?" Lucien smirked wildly at the other two vampires as they swiftly sped off.
Rebekah watched as the events played out in front of her "You never did say why you where here" ignoring her Lucien went over to tend to Freya who was beginning to wake "Hello love" he grinned down at her "Hope" she uttered, trying to get up but he stopped her "She is fine. Drink" he bit into his wrist, offering it to her. She looked at him before reluctantly accepting it. She didn't care for much right now as all she could think about was Hope and her safety.
"Where's Hope? They took her" she panicked. It was her job to keep her niece safe. She failed. Reaching out Lucien pushed her hair behind her ear, his touch lingering for a split second before motioning to where Rebekah stood with Hope in her arms "She is safe sister" Rebekah smiled widely as Freya looked at them "Rebekah" Freya got up and walked over to her immortal sister "You're really here" she carefully hugged her sister before running a hand down her niece's back, resting it there. She was happy. Hope was okay and her sister was finally back "I am really here sister" Rebekah grinned proudly as she looked at Hope who now nestled tightly against her chest "Mama" Hope pointed at Hayley causing the sisters to look at each other. Hope was so young and naive, she didn't even know the danger she was in.
Freya looked around to where Lucien stood moments ago. He was gone "He's such a creep" Rebekah grimaced before strutting off to help the mother of her niece.
Freya remained where she was "Sister, are you going to help? What is wrong, why isn't she waking up?" Rebekah held the baby firmly on her hip as she bent down beside Hayley "That witch spelled her, she will wake soon but there is no way to break it. We just have to wait" Freya moved over to them and bent down, placing a hand to Hayley's neck "It won't be long now"
Rebekah was watching her sister carefully as Hope reached out towards her "I think your Auntie Freya has had some big girl drinks tonight" she spoke, passing Hope into Freya's arms "Care to explain why you stink of that bloody imbecile, Lucien? I can smell him all over you, you know?"
"I went to Rousseau's" Freya said nonchalantly as she got to her feet with Hope in her arms "Now help me move Hayley would you?"
"Just leave her there" Rebekah shrugged.
"We can't just leave her here, you need to take her upstairs" Freya ordered.
"Why me?" Rebekah whined like a little girl, not the thousand plus old vampire she was.
"Because I asked you to"
Out of nowhere Marcel appeared in front of them "What happened?" he asked, eyeing Hayley's lifeless body "Long story short, some vampires tried to kidnap Hope, Hayley is under a sleeping spell, oh, and my dear sister is back"
"Oh I can see that" Marcel grinned smugly as he looked at the blonde vampire "Hello Marcel" she spoke "Did you miss me?"
He didn't reply as he sped over to her and pulled her into a tight hug which she happily returned. A giggle escaping her lips as she pulled away "I take that as a yes?" she grinned "You know it" he grinned back at her.
Freya stood almost forgotten, watching the pair as Hope began to cry in her arms "We need to get Hayley upstairs" Freya spoke as she tried to soothe the infant.
Lifting the hybrid into his arms Marcel flashed them upstairs.
