The Original Ripper

Chapter 45: "I go back to that black horizon"

The next day Layla was in the study as she was about to light the cigarette Elijah took it from her and she narrowed her eyes at him. "Not inside." Elijah scolded her.

"Where is Freya I haven't seen her all morning. She usually is up first." Layla pointed out and Elijah frowned deeply. Kol and Davina showed up and Fin followed into the room and they got the three originals to watch the video Fin's old body used to be.

"Just how am I the loophole?" Fin asked annoyed.

"Last year when Esther first brought us back I got put in the body of a guamless twit but you got housed in one of the most powerful witch bodies in the city. And even after all this time there is still an echo of the body soul connection between you two." Kol explained as Elijah stated the video where Vincent began to explain Davina's role.

"Have you ever done anything like this?" Elijah asked.

"I don't even know if it's possible" Davina sighed as Layla let out a small chuckle and everyone's eyes were on her.

"Sorry love, I forget you are such an inexperienced witch. I'll teach you how to do the spell." Layla offered with a sigh.

"I should have sensed something was wrong when Freya didn't call now Lucien has a head start." Fin growled.

"When we find Lucien let me try and talk him out of whatever he's up to." Layla ordered looking between Fin and Elijah, purposely ignoring Kol.

"Fine Layla we will oblige however if we are threatened we will engage." Elijah commented as Layla sighed nodding her head.

"Come on Davina I have the tools in my room, also do not come in to disturb us. Kol rage issues, Fin rude and Elijah impatient. SO stay out." Layla pointed out. "Brothers wait for me I'll only be a moment. Okay Davina, I need you to bind their blood together with this binding agent, my special mix, then I need you to chant Nayti moye krovnoye telo, svyazyvayushcheye moyu dushu." Layla said out loud and then pour the blood over a map. "It will find them." Layla summarised for Davina who looked at her shocked.

"What kind of Magic is this?" Davina exclaimed.

"Slavic dark magic." Layla informed Davina whose eyes widened. Layla then got in the car with Elijah and Fin as they drove north in Virginia. "Who doesn't love a family road trip?" Layla inquired dryly.

"Yes a family road trip to go after your crazy husband who stole our sister." Fin spat as Layla glared at him as they drove into Mystic falls.

"Of bloody course mystic fucking falls." Layla cussed.

"Are we to drive around the pathetic town until we run into my sister? Fin snapped annoyed.

"Kol has a plan." Elijah explained.

"Kol and his ridiculous gambits." Fin spat.

"900 years in a box and zero patients." Elijah shook his head appalled.

"It's all just a joke to you, 900 years just rolls of your tongue as if that time had no consequence." Fin shook his head hurt.

"What are you saying we never experienced anything? The least the passage of time." Elijah growled out.

"It's different when you are daggered for more than 200 years." Layla whispered from the back.

"Being daggered for decades and being daggered for centuries are very different things." Fin yelled out.

"He's right, you are alive but utterly powerless, like you are paralyised, left to nothing but the darkness and your own thoughts." Layla commented as if she became another person in those few words.
