[ Chapter Thirteen ]

THEIR WORST fears became a reality. Klaus sped to the cavern of tunnels underneath the Mikaelson Compound to where he sealed Aurora up, only to discover that the woman was nowhere to be found. Lucien freed her, and most likely gave her the second serum to turn her into the new species of vampire he created.

To combat Lucien's insanity, the compound was placed in Freya's name so no vampires, other than the Mikaelson siblings, could enter without an invitation. The witch in question worked twenty-four/seven to find the enhanced vampire's whereabouts, and for a way to stop him once and for all.

So far, she found nothing useful.

The ancestors also decided to insert themselves into the chaos that enveloped the city. Apparently, they were in control of Vincent when he preformed the spell that made Lucien into the beast of their nightmares. Possibly even the prophecy. They chose their side, and it was not the Mikaelsons.

Not only that, Kol found himself effected by the dead witches. His return from the ancestral plane came with a whole host of problems. He began to lose control. Bloodlust overtook his and urged him to kill his girlfriend, Davina Claire. The ancestors wanted her dead for everything she did to oppose them.

With the multiple threats out and about, Raylynn forced herself to stay inside the compound. Her and her unborn son's safety were one of the most important things, at least according to Klaus and Hayley. The added stress was not good for her, especially so close to giving birth.

So to ease her mind, Raylynn kept busy with baby preparation. She sorted out the things she acquired of the last few months when she had a spare moment. Several articles of clothing, packages of diapers, and other necessities were scattered around her room, soon to be her son's.

Raylynn sat crossed legged on the bed with baby clothes spread around her on the duvet. Piles of onesies, shirts, pants, and blankets had already been folded, while many others were left for her to organize. She would have set up the nursery sooner, but they had little to no spare time.

Raylynn also remembered that she and Klaus failed to pick out a name for their son. He and Hayley chose Hope's an hour before she had been shipped off with Rebekah for her own protection. She did not want to do that with her son. They had more down time with Lucien's terroristic reign, and Raylynn wanted it picked out before she went into labor.

Klaus walked in through the open bedroom door to find the witch with a grey onesie in her hands. "I see you are making the most out of your down time," he voiced and strode into the room.

Raylynn placed the folded piece of clothing down onto a pile and rolled her eyes. "Can't do much of anything else, seeking as I'm about ready to pop this kid out at any moment," she said, raising a hand to rub her large stomach.
