Nyx looks around the room, coven members cowering in fear. Grams, Bonnies Bennett's grandmother, pulls a group of young dead witches closer to her, as if she's protecting them from the evil that is the personified goddess of the night. Iris stands tall, not wanting to show a sign of fear. At this point in her life, what left was there to fear?
Stefan Salvatore goes to step towards the stairs, but a hand pulls him back. "Don't." A woman's voice warns. He turns slowly, wide eyed. The woman had long blond hair, and beautiful brown eyes. "Trust me, she's got this." The girl gives a confident smile, and Stefan turns back to the scene. The woman's name was Lexi. And often, even in death, the voice of reason.
Nyx slowly approaches up the stairs, Klaus and Elijah tensing up. "You two are protecting this waste?" She laughs. "I thought you two would be smarter."
Klaus chuckles. "I'm dead, Love, I have nothing to be smart about." He has a large wicked smirk. Nyx hums, before flicking her eyes to the side. Camille and Josh are quickly dismissed, as is Hayley. Elijah takes a step forward, but Nyx clenches her fist, snapping his neck.
"No!" Iris yells. Finn is sent backwards. Nyx holds out her hand, Klaus's throat landing in her grasps. Iris's heart pounds in her chest, an anger bubbling up inside her. The Originals, Hopes family. They were fighting for her. A girl they never met. Her breathing becomes rapid. "Stop it!" She screeches. Glass shatters around the room, lights flickering on and off. She tosses out her hand, Nyx flying back. Klaus drops to the floor, and the blond rushes to his side.
The girl checks him for any injuries. "Iris, it's now or never." She peers up to see Clover. The woman she killed years ago. "Do what we could never do." Iris purses her lips, glancing down at Klaus, her friends dad. The man who was always seen as a monster, and in many ways was, but in the end was better than people believed. Her stare hardens, and the girl rises back to her feet. Every step she took down the stairs, candles around the room lit on fire. The flames tall and warm even from a distance. Lights shot on and off. Glass and porcelain shattered. Every guest moved backwards. Stefan and Lexi pull back the man from line of fire. Nyx stands slowly, smirking at the blond.
"You're an interesting little brat," Nyx hums. "You're not as...perky as I thought you would be." Iris stares blankly.
"I guess I'm just like that sometimes."
Nyx nods. "But I didn't think you'd be so stupid that you'd even try to fight me." She scoffs.
Iris shrugs. "It's what I have to do."
"I guess so."
With a fling of her hand, she sends a flame towards Iris. The blond holds up her hands, absorbing its power. Nyx glares, sending a wave of magic at Iris. The blond tumbles, but slowly lands on her feet. Guests were now all pressed against the walls. Camille and Josh had began to move them all upstairs, whilst the Mikaelsons tried to find a way to help Iris, even temporarily.
