Redeem [K.M]

3

I had stole Kol's car at night while Devina slept and Kol went to feed.

I needed to go to the one place I had nightmares about. I needed to find the pendant. I needed to help my mom.

I gripped the steering wheel as I struggled to drive properly. I didn't exactly know how to drive but I was in the process of learning.

I reached the broader toll booth, I began to panic knowing I wasn't 18 or have ID. I rolled my window down and glanced at the women in the booth. She nodded and the stopper thing went up.

"Have a nice night!" I called at her as I drove away. I rolled the window back up and put on some radio music.

"Incoming call from home"

The car told me. I hit the answer button on the wheel.

"Hello?" I answered scared.

"Where in the bloody hell are you?!" Kol's voice snapped through the car speakers.

"To save my mom since no one gives a damn about her anymore!" I yelled and hung up. I diconnected the bluetooth from any connected phone and began to play the music again.

~~~

Small whispears began to become evident in my ears. I couldn't make out what anything was saying.

The welcome to New Orleans sign was passed about 5 miles ago. I could feel the power in the soil.

I pulled over to a gas station to refill the tank for the 2nd time. I stepped out of the car and walked in the store to get the man to turn on the gas machine.

I grabbed snacks and drinks and walked to the front,"I need a full tank." I looked at the man and he nodded and began to bag my items.

I grabbed my bag and put them in the front seat of my car. I slammed the door and grabbed the gas filler thing and put it in the side of the car and held the handle. Then it clicked signaling it was done.

I sat in the car again and turned it on. The whispers began to be louder as I made it into the town. I couldn't remember where the house was but I knew the scene as a picture burned into my mind.

Rather than wondering and driving around aimlessly. I pulled up infront of a bar that looked busy.

As I walked inside everyone glanced at me,"Something I can help you with?" A dark skinned man immediately walked up on me.

"I need to get to the Mikealsons house." I looked at his eyes and knew he was something supernatural. His eyes went soft and he laughed.

"I haven't heard of that name in years."

I narrowed my eyes,"So can you tell me where to find it or not?"

He grabbed my face and tried to compel me,"What could you possibly want with that washed up name?"

"None of your business." I snapped at him and he stared me down. I looked at my cellphone seeing that the drive took two days and Kol would surely be on his way,"I'm running out of time, point me in the direction or get out of my way."

He stayed quiet for a moment, so I bumped shoulders with him as I passed and he lightening sped to grab my arm. I didn't even have to do anything. He immediately fell to his knees and began breathing heavy.

"I'll help you." He hissed out.

"Good vampire." I looked back at him and pat his head. One thing Kol and Devina told me about New Orleans was the weak will die. Yet the scary ones try to get taken out as well. I needed to a skilled enough not to get myself killed but also soft enough that people will like me.

"Follow me." He grumbled. I nodded and followed him out the door and down the street. I made sure to keep note where I was going,"Who are you here to kill?" He glanced back at me. We rounded a corner and down another street. Then we crossed the street. I stayed silent and then he stopped and threw open a big door.

"Freya!" He boomed out and we both walked further in. Once I saw the house I knew this was it. This is where my mom was.

A blonde came running down the stairs and stopped infront of us. I was still baffled on how this place looked in my memory to how it looks now.

"Who is that?" She looked me up and down.

"Mia Salvatore and I believe you have something or someone I want." I narrowed my eyes at her and held my hand to her. Her eyes went wide as did the man who brought me here.

"Come." She nodded her head to the stairs and I followed her. The man followed until Freua turned around,"Marcel it is not needed."

Then in a flash he was gone and we were upstairs. She walked me down the hallway and into someones room,"This was your mothers room."

"I can feel the energy. I might as well do the spell right here." I mumbled and I could feel her look at me. She pulled out something from the inside of her shirt.

She took her necklace off and held it to me,"Your mother was part of the family. I would have never let anything happen to her."

I looked at the gem on the necklace. The power was radiating off of it. I touched it and I could hear bits of whispers again. These ones I could hear. They were saying my name.

"Take me to her body and explain how to fix her."

Freya walked me down the stairs and into a room that had been barred and had a powerful salt circle.

I could feel tears forming as I looked at the coffin.

"We need more power. Power we don't have. I barley pulled my brother out when the hallow died." She explained to me. I gripped the necklace pendant tighter.

"But you have me. Surely We could do it." I looked at her.

"We would need to kill a lot of people-"

"Alright-"

"Mia Salvatore get your ass over here!" I jumped at the yelling. I looked back and saw Kol charging towards me.
