Serendipity

Chapter 11

  I'm so into you, I can barely breathe
And all I wanna do is to fall in deep
But close ain't close enough 'til we cross the line, baby  

Freya's POV

Its been two days since Lucien and I reconcile. He never fail to amaze every single day. Lucien would always cook breakfast, give everything I need and give me random gifts which is totally not needed. However our happy days didn't last long when I receive an invitation to a ball hosted by Luke, the madman himself. Lucien tried to shred the invitation but Rebekah insisted him not to. Rebekah said that it would be best to show up in this ball to avoid suspicion. We are now preparing for the ball, of course, Rebekah made sure we look exquisite although she forget one tiny little problem. 

"Rebekah! It won't fit!" I shouted. Rebekah is helping me getting dress but my baby bump is obviously getting in the way.

"Then what the bloody hell would you wear in the ball now, sister? Your little monster is such a buzzkill." Rebekah complained. I glare at her. 

"Good thing, I have the perfect dress for my perfect little witch." Lucien said holding up a Gothic black lace half sleeve dress. 

"Do you honestly believe it would fit me?" I irritably asked. He walk towards me and handed me the dress.

"I know your body better than you do, love. Don't worry about your bump. It would be hidden perfectly." I sighed and put on the dress Lucien gave me. Miraculously it really fit me perfectly. I look at Lucien and he winked at me. Rebekah rolled her eyes.

"Come on, lovebirds. Time to show them who they are messing with." Rebekah said. Lucien assisted me in going down the stairs especially when I'm wearing a 5 inches heels. As we drive towards Luke's estate where the ball is being held, Rebekah won't stop looking at me.

"Rebekah, why are you staring at me like that?" I asked.

"I'm just a bit worried about you, Freya. We are entering the lion's den for god's sake! I just don't want you to be hurt." Rebekah explained. I smiled at her.

"Don't worry, I made sure that they won't even notice that I'm carrying a child. So nothing to worry about." 

"We're here." Lucien said as we saw a glamorous house. We went out of the car and walk towards the entrance of the house. Lucien grip on my waist tightly. 

"Just stay close to me, love. Luke is clearly up to something and I'm gonna find it out."  I nodded. As we enter, all eyes are focused on us or rather on Rebekah. 

"Well, well, well, I didn't expect to see you here, Rebekah." a woman said glaring at Rebekah. 

"Likewise, Diana. Its been what? A century. You must have move on by now." Rebekah offered her a sarcastic smile.

"I'm gonna---" a voice cut her off

"ENOUGH! No violence tonight. Its a party! Let's all enjoy and have fun!" Luke yelled. His eyes are directed towards me as he speak. 

"Let us all welcome, my very special guests! Two members of the Mikaelson family is here to bless us with their presence and of course Lucien Castle." Luke added smirking at me. Rebekah just scoff and went straight to the bar. Lucien is not leaving my side as Luke approach us.

"I thought you two are over? Here I thought I can have you to myself but Lucien decided to grab you once again. Oh well, I will have you one way or another, sweet Freya. For now, a dance with you would be lovely." Luke said offering his hand to me. I take his hand and look at Lucien. He grab my arm.

"No, Freya. What are you doing?" Lucien worriedly asked. I smile at him.

"Its just a dance, love. I'll be back,promise." I calmly said. He remove his grip on my arm and let Luke take me on the dance floor. Luke pulled me closer by my waist as I put my left hand on his shoulder and the other on his hand.

"You look lovely tonight, Freya. Are you trying to impress me?" he teased.

"No. Why would I do that?" 

"Oh come on, love. We dance before and I really had the impression that you like me as well." I roll my eyes at him. He pull me closer to him and I can feel his hot breath on my neck. Then all of a sudden, Luke was thrown across the room. Everyone went silent.

"Don't you dare touch what's mine!!!" Lucien yelled. I felt Rebekah's hand on my arm ready to attack. We heard Luke's laugh echoed across the room. He is now approaching us as he clap his hands. 

"What a spectacular move, Lucien. You don't scare me even a slightest bit. So what if you have an original on your side when I have an army! Quite frankly you are in my territory and obviously you are outnumbered." Luke said. Lucien attacked him which leaves us with his minions. One by one they attack us. Rebekah is trying her best to defend me but its no use they are too many of them. I looked at Lucien and saw him fighting Luke and Rebekah look distress in handling Luke's minions. I used my magic to break their necks simultaneously and they all fall down unconscious on the floor. Rebekah looked at me and I collapsed in her arms feeling weak. Lucien immediately went beside me with a worried look on his face. I look down and saw blood on my legs. 

"We have to go. NOW!" Rebekah yelled. Lucien carried me bridal style as we exit Luke's estate. Rebekah drive back to the house as fast as she can. I can see tears running down her face.

"The baby..." I weakly said looking at Lucien. 

"Is going to be fine. Just keep your eyes open, love. We are almost there. "  Lucien said holding tightly on my hand. I can still feel the blood flowing down my legs. I can feel myself slowly drifting. Then everything went black.
