CRASHDOWN • Shadowhunters

E I G H T

Scarlett lifted her head from the bucket and wiped her mouth. She was at the side of the Mikaelson mansion throwing up in a bucket. She refused to go into the house.

All the motion from being sped here caused all the liquor to mix in her stomach and make her throw up. She had nearly thrown up on Klaus.

"Alright love. Time to get you inside." Klaus said crouching down by the blonde.

"No." She mumbled and then hunched over and dry heaved until she threw up again. She felt gross at the moment. Her attire was a mess, her feet ached and more than likely had cuts from the rocks on her bare feet. Her chest was aching as well and her head was pounding.

"Can you get my stele?" She mumbled as she spat the last little bit of puke out of her mouth and leaned back against the wall.

Klaus sighed and nodded. He was gone in a flash and she tried to stand up. She struggled to and then tried to walk out int the forest until she collapsed in the grass onto her hands and knees and almost threw up again. She moved to the side and fell face first into the grass and turned her head to the side.

She hadn't realized how long Klaus had been until he rolled her into her back. She yelped and brought up her arms in defence.

"Scarlett. It's me! I have your stele." Klaus spat as he dropped the tool into her stomach. She grabbed the stele and began to draw a healing rune. She let her arms fall to the side of her as the rune slowly began to take its effect.

Her eyes were slowly beginning to close until she heard another British voice.

"Niklaus who is this? I thought we agreed to never feed off a shadowhunter again." It was a man. He sounded posh but to Scarlett, every British person sounded posh. Scar sat up and looked up at the new man with half lidded eyes.

"He never fed on me. I was just drinking for the past three hours." Scarlett slurred out and held out both arms childishly, wanting them to help her up. She sighed and raised her eyebrows, her eyes still half lidded.

"I'm waiting..." She stumbled out. The new man adjusted the cuffs on his suit and grasped Scarlett's hands to easily lift her to her feet. Once she did she blinked a couple times before opening her eyes fully and staring at them.

"Originals." Scarlett nearly spat. Klaus smirked at the blonde before wiggling his fingers.

"I'm so sorry about this. Klaus is just worried for his daughter. That is all." The man continued. Scarlett stared at him trying to figure him out and why he was being so nice. From all the stories Scar has heard, they weren't exactly nice and caring, or that they could procreate.

"I'm Elijah. I am willing to call a friend of yours since your phone has been left behind." He spoke with a care in his voice and

"Don't bother." Scarlett mumbled and pulled him her stele. She began to write out the fire message to send to Jace.

'Jace, I really need you to come to Mystic Falls. I've just met the originals and one them wants me to be a protecter for their kid. So please hurry. Don't tell anyone but the Lightwoods and Magnus. -S.F' And she sent it away.

She pocketed her stele and turned to the two. "I hope you know I'm not protecting your kid. I have my own family to deal with." Scarlett stated as she crossed her arms at the dirty blonde.

Elijah smirked softly at the blonde. He hadn't seen a human with this must courage to stand up against an original vampire.

"Yeah, well funny thing. I didn't really give you a choice. You're going to protect my child whether you like it or not." Klaus walked up to Scarlett to try and compel her as she grabbed her stele and pointed the girl at his heart, pressing it into his skin and piercing the skin causing it bleed and him to wince and grimace in pain.
