The Hollow Within✔

4.

Sommer's Pov:

Both, Stella and I sat at the table with Niklaus, drinking blood out of cups. It was Niklaus new rule. I guess he doesn't want anymore dead bodies laying around the house anymore. I guess it's because we now have kids in this house. It's his weird way of looking out for his neices. Elijah walked in as Klaus was pouring a bag of blood in his cup.

"Ugh O-Positive. You heathen."

I laughed a little as Elijah was clearly talking to Niklaus.

"New rules. No blood shed in the house while there are kids roaming the house who like to play and sleep."

Niklaus sniffed the blood in the cup and immediately set it back down.

"I told you Niklaus, you shouldn't have gotten O-Positive."

I looked at Stella and smiled.

"You should know Niklaus by now Stella. He doesn't like listening to us, like ever."

"Perhaps I'll go out for dinner."

"Oh no, no, no, no. We have no way to know who will take Dominic's place as the Hollow's right hand. It could be any number of disciples out there."

"Yes, yes, yes, all who may have the means to kill us. You know, if you haven't been so hasty to kill him, we'd be dealing with the devil we know."

"Spoken by the devil I know best of all."

Elijah turned around to walk away but then stopped.

"I take it you have a plan."

"Freya will place a barrier spell on the compound. No one gets in or out."

Niklaus stood up and walked to Elijah.

"Oh, so we're here to stay here...while our enemies seek to resurrect this monstrosity and let me guess, you won't be confined here."

"I have a little errand to run."

"And while your off cavorting all over town, I'm what? Grounded?"

"Essentially. Why don't you take out your frustration on that filthy jawbone our enemy seems so fascinated by."

Elijah turned back around and left the room.

"Gladly."

Niklaus shortly followed him out the room. I looked at Stella.

"When I'm not around, are they always like this?"

"Of course."

Sommer's Pov:

Stella left to follow Elijah so I went to my room. I looked around trying to figure out what I could do. Without Kol and Rose around I don't really have anything to do. I just hope they are doing okay. As if on cue, my phone started ringing. I pulled it out, Kol was trying to FaceTime. I answered as I sat on the bed.

"It's nice to see your pretty face."

I smiled as he said that. I wasn't even going to question on why his shirt is off.

"Where's Rose?"

"Taking a nap. I think she's tired from all of the traveling."

"Are you guys at least safe? Has anyone followed you? Has there been any trouble? Do you think-"

"Sommer!"

"Yeah?"

"Everything is alright. No need to worry about anything darling."
