Ch. 16..... Panic Time

chapter 16..... Panic Time

Star

I woke up in my bed and looked around to see Klaus standing, looking out the window. Klaus turned around as I sat up hanging my feet over the edge of the bed. I tried to stand but felt dizzy. Klaus caught me and sat me back down “careful love” I looked at him “thanks, for saving me”. “You should give the credit to Elijah, he's the one that saved you”.

I was a little surprised by what Klaus said but ignored it as he stood up. “Why did you leave” I sighed “I've been having these dreams that seem so real, at the end of them I always end up dieing. Part of me was thinking it was because of this town, that's why I went to leave” I said looking at the ground. Klaus walked up to me lifting my chin up and smiled “you always were a runner”.

I couldn't help but smile as he let go of my chin and started to walk out of my room “where are you going” I asked Klaus. “To talk to the witches, well Elijah is, I'm just making sure no one steps foot close to them” I smiled as did Klaus and walked away.

Elijah

Davina is sketching with charcoal on her easel when I arrive and lean against the doorway, knocking on the door. Davina looks up, smiling, I hold up pages of grimoire in a cloth “I made you a promise” “come in”!

I give Davina's the pages and she spreads a page of Esther's grimoire on her table. “It's a spell of unknotting” Davina asked a little surprised “this is a sanguinum knot. The witches use it as representational magic. If you can unknot this using that spell, you will have taken a step towards learning control. This is one of my mother's later spells. It requires much more power than you realize. Now, if you can perform this, then I shall return with another page”.

I turn to leave, taking a few steps before turning towards Davina again, smiling “a spell of your choosing, next time”. I then leave her, thinking.

Sophie

I wake up and realized I'm being chained “let go of me” I saw as Agnes enters with a bag and sets it on a table. “Killing me to get to Klaus, or his baby is not the answer” “I'm not gonna kill you Sophie, I was there the day you were born. I am the last remaining Elder of our coven. It is my duty to protect our power, and our power means nothing if that baby grows another day. Sabine's omen was clear. That baby will bring death to us all”.

I look at her scared “What are you gonna do” I asked as she walks up to me holding up a large, old-looking metal syringe with a long needle. My eyes grow huge “no, no, Agnes, no. No, no, don't” I yell terrified. Agnes holds my head down and stabs the needle into my neck.

I felt a lot better and went into Hayley's room were her and Rebekah were “I see the big bad hunter finally woke up” Rebekah says with a smirk. “Ha, ha, ha” I said “AHH” Hayley yells in pain as she grasps her neck. When she pulls her hand away, she notices blood on her fingers. Rebekah and I quick walk over to her seeing the blood on Hayley's finger and neck. “ What the hell was that” Rebekah asked “hell if I know, it felt like I was being stabbed” Hayley says as we all look at each other a little nervous.

We set Hayley in an armchair in the living room and Rebekah went and grabbed some apples. “Time for the demon spawn to snack” Rebekah said “I really wish you wouldn't call her that” Haley said as I smiled. “Oh, sorry, have you picked another name yet” Rebekah asks as Hayley smiles and takes an apple. “How do you feel” I asked Hayley “I feel fine...which is weird. I'm sure it's Sophie-related”.
