The Originals

36

My heart was pounding as I looked around, trying to find a way out. The woman before me only laughed then began chanting a spell which caused me to scream again.

Awakening, I'm back with the three monsters who sent me there in the first place. Esther was worried as Mikael sped away and Finn began to say a spell quietly to himself.

I felt my restraints weaken and used it to my advantage, quickly speeding to Esther and sinking my teeth into her neck. After feeling I had enough from her, I grabbed her by her arm, then took Finn as well before speeding to the compound and throwing them both to the ground.

The only way Esther would talk is by being tortured or with her god forsaken family. Marcel was the first to come and see us, grateful to see me alive. He surprisingly gave me a hug, which I didn't return and faced the two on the ground.

Finn got up as Esther lay unconscious, her blood slowly running out of her neck. Something began bothering me as I saw the Mikaelson family come out and see the commotion.

I realized that it my humanity trying to fight its way back on, but I ignored it, and watched Freya as she knelt beside her mother. Finn stood beside me and Marcel, worried of what his family-and enemies- would do to him. For some unknown reason, he thought that a humanity-less vampire would protect him.

"There's two out of three," I spoke breaking the silence. "Ask her why she wanted me and I'll be back in a few hours."

"Do not leave us here with your mess," Klaus said glaring at me.

"Technically it's your mess. She's your mother, and he's," I said pointing at Finn, "your brother."

"Why bring them here only for you to leave?" Rebekah asked.

"I've got business to do," I answered before heading to the gate.

"Jessica!" Damon called. "You have my brothers daylight ring, give it back."

"Give me mine and I'll give you his," I smiled as he glared at me.

"Hey, Jessica," Finn spoke nervously walking towards me. "I can help you, just don't leave me here."

"Why would I do that?"

"So I can help you get what you're after," he answered as Elijah took a step forward.

"Fine, but get in my way and I kill you, got it?"

He nodded in response. Elijah met up with us, explaining how he doesn't trust either of us so he demands to join us. Ignoring him, I grab Finn's arm and drag him out the compound.

We sped out and towards the edge of New Orleans, when I stopped and let go of Finn. They both looked at me confused as I stopped and sat at the end of a tree.

"Jessica, why is it we are here?" Elijah asked walking towards me.

"Shh," I replied closing my eyes and clearing my mind.

And soon enough I was back where I started, with Dahlia. She told me that if I ever needed her help, I needed to clear my mind and she'll take me back to her.

"Ah, child. I knew you would come back," she smiled.

"Yeah, okay," I replied shortly. "I don't know how much time I have here, so I just need to ask you to do a spell for me."

"Which is?"

"A spell to kill Mikael."

"I'll do it, but only for a price."

"That is?"

"You give me my sister," she replied walking towards me.

"Don't worry. She's all yours," I smiled.

"Then we have a deal. Come back in three days and the spell will be ready."

"Thanks," I said before I was snapped out of the trance.

I realized I was standing, which meant I had been walking while I was with her. Finn looked surprised at me, while Elijah only looked confused.

As I was about to leave, Finn stuck his hand out and I fell to the ground, holding my head screaming. Elijah knelt beside me, placed his hands over mine and dug through my memories to show me one.

As my eyes opened, I saw Jackson on his knees in front of me. He was crying, scared which I've never seen before. His body was shaking and I tried to get to him.

Finn stopped me, placing a hand on my shoulder, holding me back as Mikael stood next to my brother. Jackson looked at me before mouthing that he loved me.

Mikael shoved his hand through his chest, and ripped out Jackson's heart.

"No!" I yelled beginning to cry.

His body fell to the ground and I crawled next to him, turning him to face me. Tears were streaming down my face, and I began screaming. Nothing could stop me.

I laid over his body, mine shaking as I continued to cry. From behind, I heard footsteps walking away and others forward, towards me.

"No, no. C'mon, Jack," I said sitting up and looking at him. "C'mon please. Please come back to me. I need you. Don't leave me."

Snapping back into reality, I kicked Elijah back, far enough so I can bite into Finn's neck so he couldn't use his magic on me.

When I let him go, Elijah fed him his blood then held me against a tree replaying that memory of my dear brother.

"Why are you going this?" I asked shoving him away.

"You've been obsessed with killing Mikael for a while and it finally clicked that he was your emotional trigger. For some odd reason it has to be that memory of him, killing your brother. It took me a while, but I've found it," Elijah spoke.

"Go to hell," I spat before running off.

Not making it far, Elijah threw me at a tree. He then trapped me, snapping my neck before I could run again.

Waking up, I notice I'm in the cemetery and see Elijah and Finn in front of me. Groaning, I slowly begin to move, but Finn sends me right back down.

"I will show you this memory until the end of time if I must," Elijah said kneeling beside me.

"Screw you," I snapped.

He sighed before showing me the memory again. After about twenty or thirty more times, something inside of me shook. Elijah could see I was slowly weakening, and smiled lightly before showing me again.

At this point, I couldn't fight it any longer, my body was shaking and I could barely breathe. Elijah then laid a letter from Jackson in front of me and I was completely broken.

Tears welled up in my eyes as my humanity began taking control again. Images of what I've done filled my brain and I cried, unable to stop.

"Oh my God," I barely made out. "What have I done?"

"Jessica, it's okay-"

"No it's not!" I yelled. "Those people- that little girl doesn't have a family-Jeremy, how could I have done that?!" I was a mess recalling every horrible thing that I did. "And Cami. Oh my God! I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry for everything."

Elijah and Finn were silent as I sat broken on the ground. My hands were in my hair as I remembered everything. From Jacksons death until now. My heart can't take it, but I couldn't do anything.
