ARIA'S POV
Spencer and I ran out and quickly hid in the underbrush.
"Aria, we have to find them and resurrect them. Earn Marcel and Rebekah's trust." Spencer whispers and I nod.
We creep out and run to the cemetry. Passing the monuments, I finally feel a strong pull to my left. I let it lead me to a large square area where four girls lay with slits across their necks.
"Spencer!" I call and I feel slide next to me.
Spencer comes over to their head side across from me and looks at me. Our eyes connect as the power flows out from our hearts and connects when meeting halfway above the girls. The blue glow of her power meeting my red one just was not enough to resurrect all four. Only one came up and got off the dias in a hurry.
"We need Ally and Hanna, " I say as loud as I can over the roar of our powers.
As if hearing our voices, Hanna and Ally appear on the other sides of the square. Hanna's yellow glow links to ours and we await Ally's green glow to link our powers together. As it does, I feel power and whispers all around us. The witches from the past are warning us about the consequences of bringing in so much power, but we already are prepared for that. Soon, one by one, the girls awaken.
Finally, as the last one arises, I collapse onto the ground with my friends, choking for air.
"Aria!" An all too familiar voice rings out, "Please girls don't die on me!"
"Davina.. Take us back to Rebekah.." Spencer gasps and Davina and the other girls help us up and half carry us back to the mansion.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Davina! You're alive!" Marcel comes running and swipes her off her feet, hugging her tight to him. In that cause of events, I have fallen to the ground.
"Aria, what's wrong?" Rebekah flashes to me and kneels over my head in concern.
"She's weak. She and the others saved us, but that drained a lot of their powers. They need to rest. Marcel, please take them to a room and I'll bring the necessities to repower them. Actually, Marcel take Spencer into the bathroom and place her in a bathtub full of warm water. Rebekah, take Ally and put her in the back yard and cover her in earth. Now, Klaus! Elijah!" Davina shouts and the two other vampires come into view.
"Davina, am I dreaming?" Elijah mumbles and Davina rolls her eyes, "No, but you need to help us. Take Hanna, and keep her in the highest and most windiest place. She needs to heal. Now, Klaus, you have the hardest one, Aria. Take her to the dungeons and set it ablaze. And leave. Don't worry she won't die." Davina adds after seeing the worried faces.
"Okay, but we need to hear the story afterwards." Klaus demands and Davina nods at him before he picks me up and runs downstairs.
"Oh, love, you're freezing." Klaus whispers and I stutter out, "I'm running out of my power slowly. I need the fire quickly, please."
He nods and sets me down on the ground before spilling some gasoline around me in a circle and setting it on fire. He leans against the wall as he watches me. The fire starts to move inward towards me and I could feel the heat enter me and revive my soul. Klaus fidgets and tries to stay in his spot, but I could sense he was worried. I lock eyes with him as the fire nears me and I see a flash of red in his eyes before it diminishes. I gasp as the fire goes out and the red leaves his beautiful blue eyes. He comes to me and helps me to my feet.
"Are you okay, now?" He asks sincerely and I nod carefully, "Apparently not enough to walk."
He chuckles as he says that and lifts me up again bridal style before dashing to the others. I find ourselves in a large bathroom where Spence was soaking in her powers. Marcel sat on the edge of the tub, watching her in awe.
"She's absorbing the water." Marcel explains to Klaus and Klaus laughs, "Yes, I know. Miss, here, was consumed by fire."
"My name is Aria." I whisper and Klaus's beautiful eyes meet mine. They soften as he whispers my name. It sent chills down my back in a good way.
"And this is Spencer." Marcel adds as he gestures to a now awake Spence who waves at Klaus.
"So guys, what did we miss?" Ally and Rebekah reappear next to us.
"Nothing really, just Marcel's fascination with their absorbing powers." Klaus shrugs and Ally giggles, "Oh you're fascinated by just that?"
"There's more to you guys?" Marcel raises an eyebrow and Ally nods before taking a seat near Spencer's feet side.
"Of course, we told you we are the Last Ones. Just like they are the Originals." Spencer finally speaks and opens her eyes.
She looks over at me and Klaus and smirks at me before lifting her legs and placing them on Marcel's lap. Marcel scowls pushes them over so that they just hang over the edge of the tub, water dripping down them. Suddenly, a rush of air is felt on the back of my neck and I stiffen.
"Shh, little one, it's just Elijah." Klaus whispers in my ear as sure enough, Elijah makes his way to the other side of Marcel with Hanna in his arms. Her hair was distraught and she definitely looked more alive.
"So, now that we are somewhat healed. We should start talking." Hanna suggests and Klaus nods, "Yes, please do tell why you all have come. Rebekah only told us minimal information. We need background info, too."
All the girls look at me and I sigh before climbing out of Klaus's arms and standing next to him, "Well, again, I'm Aria Montgomery. This is Hanna Marin, niece of the Originals. That in the tub is Spencer Hastings, niece of Sophie. And lastly, Allison DeLaurentis. We four did not know we had to save you guys until our most recent birthday and when we found Allison, finally. Our other friend, Emiliy, lost all control after finding out about everything and ran away. We've been searching for her since then, trying to find her before.. Anyone else could get there. We have a few enemies, not for you to worry about since they won't harm you."
"So what do you need to help us with, exactly?" Elijah asks after a moment of silence to take in my words.
"Well, we need to maintain the balance with vampires and witches and wolves. All supernatural beings in New Orleans. You would be surprised to how many different species there are here. Anyways, we have heard that there has been an imbalance after the Reaping. We have come to repair that. And hopefully save you all from a grave danger ahead of you." Spencer replies and Klaus nods his head, "Well then, welcome to New Orleans, girls."
"Rebekah, mind taking them to the spare rooms?" Elijah politely asks and Rebekah smiles and nods, but Davina comes running in, "No, wait, they must fully relinquish their souls."
"What else do they have to do?" Marcel asks exasperated with all the new information.
"Eat," Davina shrugs and hands each of us our food, "Let's see, fish for Spencer, apples for Ally, and hot milk for Aria."
"Thank you, Davina." I smile and hug her before sipping up my milk.
"Anytime, ladies, after all you helped me." Davina smiles before helping Spencer out of the tub and ready to dry. She still had her clothes on, in case you were wondering.
"Hanna, air!" Spencer exclaims and Hanna just flicks her hand carelessly and in an instant Spencer was dry, "Thanks."
"Well let's get everyone to bed. It's been an eventful night." Klaus instructs and picks me up again and in a blink we were on our way to the rooms.
"This, Aria, is going to be your room. If you need anything, just call for someone. We have vampires on service all day and night." Klaus talks as I walk around and take in the room.
I admire the long cream drapes and the dark brown wallpaper. My floor was wooden and varnished. There was a wardrobe on one side with a vanity next to it. On the opposite side was a large king sized bed with posters and a sheer white canopy. The sheets were a deep violet color with black swirls. I smile at how the room reflected me so much. I bet they got this ready while we were out.
I turn back around and startle Klaus by wrapping my arms around his torso and whispering, "Thank you so much, I love it!"
"Yes, well," Klaus stutters and moves away quickly, "Have a good sleep."
"Bye." I say but he was long gone by the time I uttered a sound.
