Always And Forever: A New Mikaelson

Chapter 18

THALIA POV

I felt as if I couldn't breathe. 

My heart was beating so hard, I felt that at any moment it would burst out of my chest.

I felt so scared, terrified. Others might feel safe with the Mikealsons right behind them, but not me. I was terrified at what might happen next. Ronan was here. He was here to end me, but thats not what scared me. It was the fact that he had someone on the inside to learn everything about us. He had the power to end all of us. Even Hope, if he wanted to. Or worse, keep her if he ever found out she was a powerful witch like me.

I would be gone, and Alex will be lost until he is found by Ronan and then killed, the Mikealsons will most likely die as well, and Hope will be taken prisoner or killed. 

I was sweating profusely and the entire room was spinning. The tears in my eyes blurred my vision and were threatening to spill. I knew I shouldn't have come and stayed, I knew this would happen but I was selfish. I wanted a family of my own, to love me as their own and now they are going to die. Because I couldn't stay away.

Jack?! The loud screech coming from Jaz broke me out of my trance. I looked up at Jaz and I saw her facing towards the monster that held our fate in his own hands. 

I finally had the courage to face Ronan, but I was completely startled when I saw him already staring intently at me as he held onto Jack over his shoulders.

Tears began to spill and I thought I saw his eyes hold regret and sadness at the sight of my wet covered cheeks.

Klaus and Hayley had put Hope behind them and Kol walked in front of me, like if protecting me.

Ronan turned his head to look behind his shoulder, like if looking for something or someone then quickly turned back.

He came forward and everyone watched carefully, no one wanting to say anything in the lines of, Move any closer and i'll rip your heart out, because Hope was in the room. Everyone was waiting until she was gone, out of harms way.

He put Jack right in front of Jaz then faced me. He stood a few feet away from me and Kol then lifted his shirt. I stared at him. So confused. Until I had an idea of what was going on, so did everyone else who saw.

The way he warned us when he first arrived, how he looked behind him nervously, then laying Jack down gently in front of Jaz....then lifting up his shirt so we could see...it made sense.

There was just so much missing, but I knew that it would be explained once he arrived. 

For the first time since everything began, I finally saw a ray of hope. Hope that I would be able to be free from all of the running, hope that I would be able to finally rest without having to sleep with one eye open, hope that I would finally be able to see Alex again and tell him everything I wasn't able to tell him when he was taken away from me.

I wasn't shaking as badly as I was before, holding onto Kol's arm helped a lot.

I would suggest you take that child somewhere safe. 

I look back at him, he was still staring at me, even when he spoke to Hayley and Klaus.

Hayley looked at Klaus and he nodded at her, she quickly began to take Hope into her arms when another voice stopped her. I wouldn't move if I were you.

This voice was so familiar, it was the voice I missed so much and longed to hear, the type of voice that would send shivers down my spine and goosebumps across my skin each time I heard it. It couldn't be who I thought it was because that voice belonged to someone I loved, and that person whom I loved was stuck inside a pendant, lost. Waiting to be found again, by me.
