Futures Past

Sibling Revelations (14)

Freya was sitting on her bed, looking through her grimoire, while the others were at the football game.

A lot had happened in only a few days and she didn't know how to feel about it.

She had decided before her hibernation that she was not going to reveal herself to the rest of her family but now, all that was out the window.

And all because of two extremely powerful time-traveling twins.

Freya had been surprised to learn that the two girls held no ill will towards the Mikaelson family, instead, they wished to help them.

She had been suspicious at first but seeing as the most paranoid of her siblings seemed to believe them, she decided to leave it alone.

Especially after the talk she had with them.

Freya had been watching the two girls very carefully and there was no doubt in her mind that the only thing that would stop these two from achieving their goal was death.

But Freya feared that could happen.

Time travel was such a tricky business.

Freya flipped the page of her grimoire as her thoughts turned to her brother and the honest conversation they had after Lizzie left them alone in the house where she had been in hibernation.

The memory of it was burned in her mind.

-Flashback-

Freya was in shock.

She was hugging her brother, who somehow knew she was his sister.

She had wished to be a part of the rest of her family for so long, but after seeing the cruelty her sibling showed towards Kol, she had decided against it.

Did she regret it? She was not quite sure yet.

Freya felt Kol loosened his arms around her and Freya hesitantly pulled away.

She looked up into the face of her brother.

The one who she watched be screwed over by their siblings.

He stared down at her with an unreadable look on his face.

"Why didn't you tell me who you were?" Kol asked, quietly.

Freya looked down at the floor. "I was afraid you wouldn't believe me. Would you have?" Freya asked.

Kol sighed. "Probably not," He conceded.

"You saw me be daggered, didn't you?" Kol realized.

"I did...it was the first time I had ever seen how cruel our family truly is," Freya admitted.

Kol narrowed his eyes in anger. "And you didn't help me?" He asked, then he scoffed. "Of course you didn't, you call our siblings cruel and yet, you're no better than the rest of our family. You're going to fit right in with them, I can tell you that now."

Freya flinched at the harsh words.

"I'm sorry," Freya whispered, looking at him earnestly. "For not helping you."

Kol paused, eyes flickering to his sister's in surprise before controlling his expression.

"It doesn't matter. I've already lost a century of my life," Kol dismissed. "Nothing new."

Freya winced. Kol turned around, facing the other way.

"You know, I can't help but wonder, were you ever planning on revealing yourself?" Kol asked, not looking at her.
