Darling

Chapter 67

"When Aurora wakes, you will convince her to return my sister." Klaus said

" Oh, would that it were so simple. Aurora has made it clear she means to control her own fate.

I presume that includes keeping her own counsel, as well." Tristan said

"I think she might be more amenable if she's forced to watch as I tear you limb from limb." Klaus smirked

"You could torture me, but even if my sister decided to return yours as a result, Rebekah's homecoming would be marred by The Strix, who would descend upon the city like a plague of locusts, killing whomever stood in their way." Tristan said

"Violence is unavoidable, then. Well, I tried." klaus said making to attack

"Think, Niklaus. All these threats, this needless escalation of violence, we play into the worst possible outcome of this prophecy. There's a better solution. What might that be? We cannot prevent fate, but we can take control of it. Keep your siblings alive by helping me seal them away. Let them fall only for the year and leave yourself free to stand guard over them. If you care for them at all, it really is your only choice." Tristan tried to persuade Klaus

"No doubt you're angry Rightfully so. For what it's worth, I was horrified by Aurora's thoughtless actions, but, I assure you, Cami will be fine, provided I'm allowed to leave here with my head intact." Lucien said pouring himself a new round of bourbon

"Give me Camille and the medallion, and then we may consider the future of your head." Elijah said

"Elijah, I have always been consistent. I only wanted to stop the prophecy to thereby save myself." Lucien said taking a sip

"And how do I know that you're not the author of this very prophecy? Alexis was your little fortune teller, and anything that may have come to pass could be the result of your own duplicitous, little games."

"Well, you give me far too much credit for being clever. Instead consider the rift between Niklaus and yourself, made worse, thanks to Aurora. One shall fall by family. That does not bode well for you." he pointed out as Kol came in speeding him against a wall leaving Elijah to catch the crystal glass from hitting the floor.

"For what you did to Davina I should rip your heart from your chest now." he said his voice dripping with venom.

"Who is Davina." Lucien asked as Kol let him go making to go back but Elijah held him off.

"You mean the little tramp you all seem to think is your family now?" he asked

"Don't you ever talk about her like that." Kol said still a wall of ELijah in his way.

"You know much about magic Kol but have you ever come across Fae before?" he asked

"What do you know of her?" Kol asked

In the other room Aurora finally woke. Freya stood over her and waited for her to become aware before letting Davina rip into her.

"Took you long enough." Freya said

"Oh, are we to play a fun game?" Aurora asked playfully. She really didn't have any kind of awareness to her at all.

"Actually, yes, and now that my spell has made it so that no one can hear what happens" Freya cut off "We're gonna have a lot of fun." Hayley said coming into the room

"Hayley, the mother of Niklaus' child. Ooh, I was really hoping I'd get to meet you." Aurora said excitedly like she'd be the cool step mother.

"Feeling's not mutual." hayley said
