Fate's Path [Finn Mikaelson Fanfic] [BWWM]

Chapter 14

Instead of taking him back to the house, they brought Finn to the compound. Kriss had never been there before but the house was massive with an expansive indoor courtyard. The Mikaelson crest adorned the halls as she carried him up to one of the rooms. Kriss put him in her typical magic-induced sleep and left him in the room.

The rest of the family was doing separate things. Hayley had gone back to check on Hope and Haydee who were under the protection of Freya and Keelin. Kol stayed at the cemetery with Davina. Elijah made his way picking up the vampire bodies of the floor and burning them in a pile. Rebekah started pulling the sheets off the furniture in her untouched room. Kriss watched them ready the place and decided to go back in and watch Finn sleep. As soon as she laid down in bed beside him, she fell asleep too. An hour later, Kriss heard the door open and she sat up. She sees a tall dark-skinned vampire with hooded eyes.

"My apologies, I didn't know anyone was in here," he said and she only acknowledged him for a second before returning back to Finn.

"It's okay. I'm Krissette," she said.

"Marcel,"

"Huh," Kriss said and leaned back in her chair.

"What?" he asked with a smirk. Kriss gestured to Finn.

"He talks about you. The first sign that Klaus could be saved. I also know he tried to kill you a few times and he was in a box while you grew up here," Kriss said and Marcel nodded, impressed, "I'm sorry about all your people. He would've never joined in but we have people to protect." Kriss grabbed his hand and kissed it.

"I've never seen someone care for Finn that way. Except Esther I suppose. But that got a little creepy sometimes," Marcel smiled and Kriss laughed.

"Yeah, I knew he was a mamma's boy," she teased then whispered into his palm, "Come back please." Marcel opened his mouth to say something but the door opened and Haydee came striding in. Kriss got up and they embraced and shed a few tears. Marcel snuck out as they both got into bed with Finn. Kriss laid next to him and Haydee rested her head on his legs.

"He's just sleeping, right?" she asked, tears still falling and staining his pants.

Kriss doesn't sleep for two days as she waited for Finn to wake. Everyone around them seemed to go back to their regular lives. Freya came to check on him a couple of times but Klaus was already planning a celebration. Kriss wasn't in the mood to play along with the Mikaelson script. Not until he opened his eyes. On the third day, he was back and she gave him a bag of blood. After he fed, Finn sat up and Haydee rushed in the room to hug him.

He laughed when she wrapped his arms around him. "Are you okay?" Haydee asked him. He kissed her on the forehead and wrapped his other arm around Kriss.

"I am now. I have everything I need,' he said.

"Ah, brother, you're awake just in time to join us for the festivities," Elijah said as he came into the room, "Black tie, of course. Kriss, Haydee, I think Rebekah has dresses for you both in her room." Kriss didn't want to leave him but took her chance in doing so anyway.

Waking up from the fit was one of the best feelings Finn had in a while. He was actually well-rested and felt assured in his decisions. That night they were to celebrate the regaining of the city. He felt in his pants pocket and pulled out the ring he'd been holding since he bought it before they left Los Angeles. Right after Haydee's birthday.

Elijah walked in as Finn was doing his tie. "I'm quite good at this," Elijah said and went around to see Finn hold the ring, "How beautiful. Is tonight the night?"
