awake {Klaus Mikaelson}

seventeen // some things are better left buried

Hi peoplesssss,
I really like this chapter because a lot of answers are revealed, hopefully your questions are too. If not, comment and I'll make sure to answer them in the next few chapters.

"If we're link then why weren't you in misery when I was locked up?" I question, finding it hard to believe anything she says.

"I'm the reason you're alive, Faith. If we weren't linked you would have died down there, you were drawing power from me."

"Rich how you saved my life but now you're the reason I'm going to lose it." I scoffed, falling back on one of the couches in the room. Esther just stood by the fireplace; I found it kind of awkward how formal she stood.

"Why do you think you were drawn to me the night you escaped? You knew what was happening without even knowing it."

Finally things made sense, all the questions I had been asking myself. Finally there was an answer for everything. Except one thing...

"Are you the reason I have magic?" I ask, sitting up straighter.

Esther crossed her arms over her chest, "No. I knew you had magic long before we were linked."

I stood up in a rage. "And you did nothing?! You just let me live my life without knowing? I thought I was human before I turned, but no, that was a lie too!"

"You need to calm down before something happens."

"Calm down?! My entire life has been a lie and you knew this entire time!" I suddenly felt my feet begin to vibrate, my head frantically looking around the room to see everything shaking, the lights flickering.

But I couldn't stop.

"What the hell is wrong with you?! Why didn't you tell me, why did you do this to me?!"
The chandelier in the middle of the room came crashing down onto the coffee table.

Esther grabbed the fireplace to steady herself, bringing her arm out and flexing her fingers. I knew she was trying to stop what was happening when I heard faint mumbles coming from her mouth.

"Was it because I'm a wolf or because I'm a witch? What did I ever do to you, Esther?"
Her magic wasn't working, we both knew it. That's why I lowered my voice, trying to calm myself, no matter how furious I was.

When the room steadied itself, Esther let go of the wall, looking directly at me.

"What you are is unnatural." She states strongly, taking a step forwards. "You are an abomination, just like my children."

"Why? Why am I an abomination? Why do you hate me so much?"
I still didn't understand. I knew that she hated what her children were, even though she was the reason they were what they were. I knew that she hated werewolves because they killed her son, Henrik. But I was her kind before any of this happened and she knew that. Why would she hate what she is?

"What you just did, the damage you caused, isn't natural. You are a danger to all species. You are two types of the supernatural and that isn't possible! You were supposed to lose your powers, you were supposed to lose everything!"

"Is that what you wanted?" I whispered. And suddenly something clicked. "That's it isn't it, you wanted me to turn. You wanted me to lose my powers."

"You were in my way, I needed you removed."

"And now your plan has completely backfired because we've still linked and we're both dying."

Esther was silent for a moment; I can't help but laugh dryly. This is completely insane.
