Bewitched
Chapter 7
The devil you know

Elijah lays on his bed in the compound, still asleep as he was when he was rescued. He's breathing erratically, covered in a thin sheen of sweat, and his muscles are tense, as though he's being overwhelmed by fear. Klaus stands over him and talks to him, his voice echoing through Elijah's head. In Elijah's dream, he pulls the hatchet out of his shoulder, but Young Elijah runs away before he can catch him

"I know you are locked in battle, however deep in your mind our mother has set the stage. Hear my voice." Klaus began to speak to him Elijah twitches anxiously in his sleep "Our mother thinks she will win because she has left you alone, but you are not alone. Let me in." Klaus puts one hand on his head, and one hand on his chest, hoping to gain entry into Elijah's mind. Elijah's body goes rigid as though he's been shocked and Elijah's muscles begin to seize and spasm painfully

"Let me help end whatever torment she has forced upon you." Klaus' nose begins to bleed, and he gets glimpses of the dreams Elijah has been having. Klaus groans in pain as he continues to try to break through, but he's quickly ripped off of Elijah by Bethan "What are you doing?" She exclaimed Klaus, startled, pants in an attempt to catch his breath as he wipes the blood from his nose

"I'm trying to enter Elijah's thoughts to wake him." He gestures to Elijah, who is still sleeping fitfully "Esther's locked me out." Bethan walks over to Elijah, noticing a flower petal-shaped wound on his neck "Is this rash a side effect of the witchy acid trip he's on?" The brunette questions Klaus frowns and returns to Elijah's bedside to examine the wound more carefully "I haven't seen this since I was a child. Mikael would return home from battle more blindly temperamental than usual, and our mother would use the petals of a rare merlock orchid to put him to sleep. She would mend his mind with a spell, and then wake him with the roots of the same plant." He turns to Bethan, looking hopeful.

"If she has access to it now, then maybe it also grows in the Bayou. You stay here with your wolves and mind the fort." Bethan rolls her eyes "I'd rather rip your mother's head off." And that's when hayley entered "I second that" she announced Klaus looks at them seriously "Stay clear of her. I mean it, Bethan. She already got to you once. What would happen if Elijah were to wake and find you Hayley a victim of her madness?" "I won't go after her. I promise." Hayley promised "Bethan?" Klaus questioned "fine, I promise to" Klaus looks at her for a moment before turning and leaving. Hayley turns back toward Elijah and approaches the bed to talk to him.

Hayley looks back at Bethan and noticed she had a smile on her face "whats that face for?" Hayley questioned "I've learned a few things from their mother. You don't go after her. You go after everything that she loves." Bethan simply put it.

MARCELS LOFT

Hayley, Bethan and Aiden have arrived to Marcel's apartment to come up with a plan "Where is your Alpha?" Marcel questioned
Hayley sighed "Unavailable."
"So, you brought Junior Varsity? You know, I'm getting a little tired of you using my place as a den for wayward wolves." Marcel told them "Well, it was just that we were going to, uh, take down Finn Mikaelson today, and considering how he treated your vampires, I assumed that you would want in on the bloodbath." Bethan smiled
Marcel clearly interested "I'm listening."
