The Originals Season 1 | The Ties that bind us

Farewell to Storyville

M A R I E

*********

I was in the Bayou and Hayley was mingling with the other wolves, I sat by the bonfire lost in my thoughts.

I've been thinking about everything.

I'm pregnant with Klaus' child, so is my sister. Like that isn't fucked up.

Klaus. Why do I feel so protective of him? Is it because he's the father of my daughters? Or is it because the private moments we've had together?

I was in the nursery writing a letter to my daughters when he came in.

"Writing a love letter to Elijah?" Klaus asked as he was leaning against the door frame, staring at me in awe.

I looked up and chuckled at what he said, "Is that jealousy I hear in your voice?"

Klaus walked over to me, got on his knees next to me as I sat in the rocking chair next to the open window, the moonlight shining on my skin

"You're glowing, by the way" Klaus smiled at me. Those were the dimples that mesmerized me in the first place.

"Changing the topic I see, I hope I don't make you nervous Klaus" I smile at him and he laughs at me, "Maybe it's for Elijah," I said teasing and he rolled his eyes, "Or maybe it's for you"

His face went blank, "I thought I was out of the running ages ago!" Klaus said with humor.

I smiled at him and she kicked. It's easy to tell which one is which, Hunter always has the most strongest kicks, Eden is the calmest of the two.

"Do you want to feel?" I ask Klaus

his smile faded and he put his hand on my stomach, he felt the girls moving around, "How are the littlest wolves?" He asks

"growing fast, obviously." I smiled as I saw how in love he was with just feeling the girls moving around, he looked up. Noticing me staring, He smiled at me and for a moment, I felt a spark.

He looked at my lips and got closer to me, moved my hair from my face and he went to kiss my cheek but I moved. His lips were just centimeters from mine, I closed my eyes and he disappeared out of my sight.

But what if. What if my family didn't send Hayley and I away? I would have ended up with Jackson...But Hayley and I would have ended up cursed as well. Trapped in wolf form all month until the next full moon.

I recall the night I had with Klaus, the night that lead me here.  He gave me the chance to be a mother. 

I'm beginning to understand why Elijah cares so much about him. Klaus hides so much about himself and portrays a monster. But I can't judge him, Hayley and I are the same in that way, Especially Hayley. I've grown a lot since I've stumbled into New Orleans. I would have never used my magic against my own kind, or attack someone with my magic. But I have. For the sake of my daughters, I'm noticing that Klaus and I are the same. If my family is threatened I will retaliate.

"Marie" I look to my left and I see Hayley walking over with Rebekah

"Hey!" I said smiling as I stood up to hug the original.

"What's going on? Why do you need to tell the both of us? Is everything alright?" Hayley asked full of concern, I look to the blonde with worry

Rebekah took our hands in her own, "I've come to say goodbye" 

"What happened to us girls sticking together?" Hayley said as she crossed her arms

"Oh please Hayley, After both you and Marie give birth to those magical miracle babies there will be plenty of girl power in the Mikaelson household" Rebekah said laughing while holding back tears, "Besides, Nik and I came to a sort of all or nothing arrangement. I leave town for good, he allows me to. I can't pass that up"

I kept a hold onto Rebekah's hand and I kissed it and hugged it, "A thousand years with Klaus, You deserve to be happy Bekah" I let a tear slide down my cheek.

"Well if you cry then I'm gonna cry!" Hayley pouts and covers her cheeks, "Damn you Marie" she laughs and hugs Rebekah 

Rebekah hugged her, but while looking at me she warns me "Listen you both, About Nik. He is a monster, you must never cross him"

I looked at her, wanting to not believe her words but I knew them to be true. Rebekah lets Hayley go and us 3 sit on the log, Bekah between us, "But he does want more from life than to be just feared, he's too broken to find it himself but I do believe that hope is within the children you both carry. And speaking of those sweet babies, our family has not shortage of enemies, the girls will inherit all of them. Please be careful"

Hayley shakes her head in understanding, "You know you can always visit,"

I speak up, "Yeah We've been known to keep a secret or two from Klaus"

Rebekah smiles "Well, If I can't, you make sure to tell those little girls stories of her crazy Auntie Bex and let her know that despite my absence, I do love them very much."

all three of us hugged each other before she could leave.

"I whisper in her ear, "You go find the happiness you deserve, and when you find it you chase it and never let it go."

Hayley and I looked to each other holding hands as we watched Rebekah walk out of the Bayou, I knew that I was going to miss her. I guess I truly care for the Entire Original family.
