All I Need

Bye Mom

The group stood in the cemetery in front of the Salvatore Crypt.

"Alaric is becoming a vamp," Lydia sighed.

"How?" Damon asked.

"She made the rest of the OGs, and you're asking me how she's making Ric a vamp? are you an idiot?" Lydia asked.

"You're no better than Klaus!" Elena yelled at Esther.

"Can I kill her?" Lydia asked.

"Not in public," Nik told her.

Lydia smirked and began to walk into the crypt, her boys behind her.

Lydia pointed her wand at Esther and yelled, "Petrificus Totalus!"

Esther opened her mouth.

Draco pointed his wand at her, yelling, "Silencio!"

Esther's mouth closed.

Nik smiled.

Lydia pulled out a sharp dagger from her dress pocket.

She threw it like a dart at Esther's heart, successfully killing the witch bitch.

Elena told them Esther was making Ric into an OG Vamp so he can go full dark side, kill all the OGs, and then himself.

Ric woke up, and Lydia looked down at him. 

"What happened?" Ric asked.

They explained to him what had happened, and he decided he wasn't going to go through with the transition. 

Lydia closed her eyes tightly and clenched her jaw before kneeling beside him, kissing his cheek.

"Guess this is goodbye, mate," Lydia said softly.

Ric nodded sadly, "I'm glad I met you. You are the best kind of hunter and the best hunter I have ever met, not to mention the best liba."

"This is why you were my favorite member of the Elena gang," Lydia smiled sadly.

Ric looked at Nik, "You better take care of her, or I swear to god I will haunt your ass."

Lydia chuckled and stood up before leading her people out of the crypt so Ric's friends could say goodbye.

Nik picked Lydia up and carried her home once the Malfoy's apparated away.

Nik helped Lydia out of her dress and into her pink, silk Pajamas before they both fell asleep.

Lydia woke up at 3 AM to Finn screaming in her head for help. She shifted, and Nik wrapped his arms around her in his sleep.

"Nik?" Lydia whispered.

"Hmm?" he grumbled.

"He won't stop screaming," Lydia cried.

Nik sat up and wiped a tear from Lydia's cheek.

"Come on, love," He sighed.

He held her hand, leading her down the stairs, stopping at the fridge for a blood bag, and then down to the basement. Nik opened the coffin and pulled the dagger from his brother's heart. Moments later, Finn woke up and grabbed the blood bag, drinking it all before looking down at Lydia.

"I'm so sorry," Finn said.

"Why?" Lydia asked.

Finn's eyebrows knitted together before looking to Niklaus.

Nik clenched his jaw.

"Nothing," Finn replied, "nothing you need to worry about right this second."

Lydia looked confused as she looked up to Niklaus, who was maintaining eye contact with Finn. 

Nik walked Lydia back up the stairs and helped her into bed so she could finally get sleep

"You didn't," Finn whispered.

"You know me very well, brother. You know the lengths I will go to to keep the people I love safe," Nik replied.

"She has no previous memory of her life with you?" Finn asked.

"Not a single thing," Nik admitted.

"But what about the-"

"Don't talk about it."

"I'm sorry," Finn said, "I really am. After seeing you with her I tried to step back from helping mother, but she got into my head and forced me somehow. It was your baby too, Niklaus. I am truly sorry."

Nik shook his head, "Just... Just go to sleep."

Nik walked into his room and saw Lydia sleeping peacefully. He looked down at the ring on the chain around his neck. He sighed before crawling into bed with her, kissing her forehead as she cuddled u onto his chest.

"I love you," she mumbled.

"I love you too," he replied.
