His (A Niklaus Mikaelson Fanfic)

Chapter 46-Esther

"Alice do you think you can help me with something?" Niklaus asked as he stood in a white wife beater and faded blue jeans in the back yard. "What is it Nik?" I asked not opening my eyes as I sat cross legged chanting. I was reaching out to my ancestors trying to strengthen my magic. "It's just have to hand combat love." He said beckoning me with one finger. I rolled my eyes and stood up closing the grimwar on my lap.

It had been a week since Michael's attack. I had taken what little information he had then wiped his memory of our location. John had been away from me for a week and every night Rebekah using our telepathic link would ensure me John was okay. 

Niklaus and Elijah had explained to me that we would have to go to war with their parents in order to protect John from their treachery. So here we all sat training in the backyard of a cottage seven miles in land from the shores of Nova Scotia.

"Alright fine." I used my vampire speed to run towards him spinning on the ball of my foot so I could kick him in the ribs. He caught my foot and pulled me into him punching me in the face. I was on my feet instantly tackling Klaus then hovering over him as I rained down punches. He caught my hand and flipped me over. I brought my knees up to my chest and pushed off his body sliding on back on the ground a few feet before I did a backwards cartwheel landing on my feet.

I cracked my knuckles and quickly tied my hair back into a high ponytail. I pulled off my jean jacket tossing it to the side as I watched Niklaus stalking my every move. "Be careful love. You're over preparing for this battle." He shot towards me but I pushed my hand out throwing him back with magic. I raised an eyebrow at him. "So are you." I stated only to find myself pinned to a near by tree his hand gripping my neck tightly.

I kicked the edge of his knee then elbowing him in the face before grabbing his arm twisting it behind his back. I rolled over his back landing on my feet still holding his arm on the other side of his body. I started to elbow Nik repeatedly in the stomach. Nik caught my knee mid air and hooked my leg under the crook of my knee dragging me towards him causing my grip on his arm to weaken.

I found my back now pressed against the earth again my entire body pinned. I couldn't move so I simply concentrated closing my eyes as I felt Klaus stab at my chest only to barely scratch my skin. "ahhhhhhh!" He yelled in pain. I threw him back against a tree breaking a branch off a tree. I released my magic and used my foot to put pressure against his trechea. I then smiled dropping my foot letting my fiancee breathe again. He smiled up at me.

"Good bout love. You're lucky I was going easy on you." He teased. "Well don't worry Michael won't touch our son. If he does John will rip him apart." Nik said causing my smile to drop. I shook my head and spun on my heel. "I was kidding love!" He called after me. "I need some tea." I said knowing he could hear me.

I walked into the house seeing Elijah sharpening a few stakes and daggers. "He's just trying to find a distraction Alice. I know you-" "NO Elijah! You don't know!" I yelled spinning around to face the eldest original. "I am going out of my mind because I can't stop thinking about how much I miss my son." I said clentching my fists.

"I miss him too Alice." Elijah said sadly. "It's not the same Elijah! You lost your nephew while I lost my life!" I screamed tears rolling down my cheeks. "Love you need to calm down your enemies don't need to see your weakness. You need-" "What I need is to see my child again in my arms! What I need is to kill your parents are move on with this. I know waiting for the full moon will give me more power but I wish we didn't have to."

I ran up the stairs and slammed my bedroom door. I pressed my back against the door and wipped my eyes. I could hear Nik's footsteps and the sound of his sigh. "Love I haven't stopped thinking about him either. He will be back in our arms again. That I promise you." I could hear his breathe become shallow. He was crying. I threw the door open and pulled Nik into my arms. "Yes he will be."

All of a sudden I felt it. The intense magical presense. "She's here. Esther. I can feel her power." Elijah nodded standing at the bottom of the stair case. He opened his mouth to speak when the door was thrown directly off of it's hinges hitting Elijah. "Noooo!" I screamed as I ran forward to help the eldest Original brother. "Alice you have to run. Take Niklaus and-" "No! I am sick of running! We are a family and this is our fight!" I said getting to my feet.

Esther stood before me in black slacks, a white blouse and heeled boots. She had blonde hair and the same golden blue eyes which I had stared into many times however her eyes held nothing but pain. "Oh Alice my dear I-" I pushed my palm at Esther causing for her to hold her hand up to stop the shot of magic I threw at her. "Alice I'm not here to fight you Alice I just want to-" "You don't get to talk Esther you came after my child, My son! You have no right to even step foot in this house." I yelled angrily. "Well your son will not live to see tomorrow if you don't listen to what I have to say." I dropped my hand immidiately. 

"Your son and Rebekah are safe. Would you like to see them?" I growled and glanced at Nik who was flush against the wall his eyes full of rage as he struggled against his mother's power.  "Yes. But let Niklaus go first. He is John's father. He deserves to see his son." I said calming my fiancee with kind words telepathically. He closed his eyes and relaxed as Esther eased away the magic she used against him. "It seems as if you've tamed my son Al-" "Let's get on with this Esther. As I recall you weren't exactly the most nourturing towards my dearest Niklaus when he was a boy." 

Esther nodded solemnly beconing us outside. We walked out and I gasped staring at the corpse of Michael. "Is he....is he dead?" I whispered in shock. Nik gripped my hand tightly. He was angry. "No but in a deep comatose till I wake him." Esther said as she led us to a van. Rebekah lay unconsious while John looked terrified. "Come little one." Esther said smiling at the boy who rithered away from her touch as she reached for him. "Mommy!" He screamed startling the older women as he ran towards us. 

Klaus picked up his son kissing his head as I woke Rebekah up pulling the disoriented women to her feet. Esther stared in awe at this young women who had not only tamed the beast that was her son but taught him how to love again.

Rebekah walked over to Niklaus only to be pulled into his embrace. “You’re safe.” He mumbled against his sister’s hair as she smiled weakly nodding. Alice got down on her hinges and hugged her son tightly causing him to groan and complain about being hugged too tight. “I’m sorry I just missed you so much.” She said noticing the unhealed injection mark on his shoulder. “Their healing gene has been weakened so if they received even the slightest of bodily harm they will bleed and they will most likely die.” “What are you saying?” Klaus asked narrowing his eyes at his mother. “They are no longer immortal.”
