Niklaus Mikaelson was rarely if ever surprised but today he was shocked to the core. His little brother, his Henrik was in his arms. After a thousand years he saw the face of his brother.
Letting Henrik out of his arms he moved to hug Rebekah but instead of receiving a hug as he had expected he received a punch. She had put all her Original strength behind that sucker breaking his nose.
‘Rebekah!’ Aurora gasped in shock while her brothers snorted in amusement. The Original siblings ignored their reactions in favour of the impending argument.
‘What was that for, little sister?’ Niklaus asked trying to reign in his temper.
‘That was for killing our mother and lying and blaming it on father. For a thousand years you lied and hid the truth. Why?’ she replied.
He was shocked to know that she knew the truth and by seeing the faces of the other occupants of the room it was clear that they knew the truth as well.
‘There was a reason why I did what I did, sister. She cursed me! She made us monsters and then when she saw the destruction, we were capable of, what father did to the Werewolves, to my real father’s clan, she was angry at herself. Did you know she wanted to kill us all? She had the spell ready and she wanted to kill us all, all her children and her murderous husband. I killed her, yes, I did and I am not sorry for it, first she and her husband turn us into something vile without our permission and then she curses me! She cursed half of my true nature, all these years at every full moon I could feel my body responding to its power, my insides trying to break free from my mortal skin into the beast I was born as but I was denied. I felt the pain every full moon, then when she saw the barbarity, we were capable of, the blood we required to sustain, she had a change of heart. She wanted to undo the evil she had helped created, she had help from Ayanna and was ready to do the spell when I found her. So yes, I killed her, so excuse me if I do not shed tears for a mother who would rather see us dead than alive.’
Everyone looked at him, all of them silent, unable to say a word lest they say something wrong. Rebekah had tears shedding from her eyes as she listened to all her brother had to say. Henrik too was crying but he found solace in the arms of his brother. The three Original siblings huddled together, finding comfort from one another.
After composing themselves they came back to what was important. Resurrecting Henrik.
‘My sister said you can do the spell to resurrect him, is it true?’ Nik asked Aurora.
‘Yes, I can do that. The fact you can see and feel him right now should work in my favour.’ she replied.
‘Yes, it works in your favour but can you please tell me how will it work?’
‘For resurrecting a spirit as old as this one when there is no body preserved it hard, that is why I need to sacrifice a something almost as old as the spirit and your father is the most likely candidate I can think of. Mikael is a blight of all things supernatural. Once he is dead, I will do the spell, the spell will be done at midnight. I will be using the elements to construct him a new body, the body has to be blessed with as many blood relatives he has so you might have to undagger your siblings.’
Hearing that his siblings were to be undaggered, all of them at the same time as he was facing his father for the last time made him wary. He had kept them safe for a thousand years even from themselves, Finn whose suicidal thoughts made him want to take the offer of the Five and Kol from gaining attention of father with his careless massacres. Elijah was daggered as a punishment but he would never dagger him for long, he is the one who keeps him sane. But know they were needed to resurrect Henrik. Nik knew that whatever their vices be his siblings will stand firm together as a unit if there was a chance of the resurrection of the youngest Mikaelson.
Reluctantly he agreed to undagger his siblings. He was never very far from their coffins; it was is duty to keep them safe when they could do so themselves.
He just removed the daggers from his siblings when his phone rang. It was Stefan. Seeing him calling him without any reason could only mean one thing; Mikael.
He sighed as he picks up the phone.
‘Stefan, bit early in the day for you to call me.’
‘Your father is dead.’ he says in a dead monotone.
Nik gasps as do all the other occupants of the room, Mikael was needed alive.
‘What?’
‘Oh, I mean not dead but daggered dead. He came after Elena so we vervained him and daggered him. What do you want us to do with the body?’
‘Nothing. You do nothing. I will be back tomorrow and then I will end my father once and for all.’
He disconnects the phone and looks at his sister.
‘Did you know about him being in Mystic Falls?’ he asks his sister.
‘No, I did not. I have been at Aurora’s house since yesterday. Do you think he is daggered?’
‘No, there is no way father would have been bested by a bunch of amateurs, most probably he has them convinced that he is the answer to their prayer of how we kill the unkillable hybrid original. Anyhow, can you Aurora do what is needed by tomorrow midnight?’
‘Yes, all I need is the blood from all of you, the spell is pretty straight forward. I will be calling for the blessing of my Nyx as she was the one who blessed the spell which made you all vampires. The body will made by infusing the elements and my magic I will bless it myself, so he will be linked to my life force essentially making him immortal, he will age till he reaches his maturity and that will be around his mid-twenties and then his aging will slow down, with my blessing and blood it is most likely he will gain some powers, what they will be we will find out later. At midnight, after killing Mikael, all of you Mikaelsons will stand in the circle and pour your blood on the body as I do the spell. It will take some time for him to wake up but I am sure that by next morning he will be up and about, any question?’
There were none.
It was Sirius who spoke out.
‘Niklaus I had something to say, I saw your Hybrids on my way here and from them I could sense a bond, all of them are sired by you and to you. They feel supernaturally loyal to you, is that correct?’
‘Yes, that is quite right. Why do you ask?’
‘Well because I know that magic. I have seen it for a long time, my brother was captive to that magic and so was the man we call our father and so was Draco, they found ways to break free from that magic, that bond and found themselves free. All I want to say is, just because they feel indebted to you, don’t be callous with them, thy can break free from the bond, if they have enough motivation.’
‘Break free? How? I thought the whole premise of sire bond is that it can't be broken. I have seen it in vampires and it could never be broken. How can it be broken by Hybrids?’
‘In case of vampires it is the love the new vampire had for its sire before turning which leads to the formation of sire bond but in case of Hybrids, they feel thankful that freed them from the pain of turning at every full moon, the bond can be broken when turn over and over again embracing the pain, that will break the bond.’ says Sirius.
‘In short do you treat them like mindless slaves and treat them like your pack mates. They will follow you if they respect you, trust me fear is not as great a motivator as you think it is because sooner or later the fear becomes nothing but a shadow but the freedom, they will yearn for will become the sun. Treat them as pack and they will love you as the alpha and respect you as well.’ Draco explained.
With a hum of approvement Nik took their words to heart, after all it looked like they knew more about his bond business than him.
They were talking among themselves when his siblings gained consciousness. Elijah was the first followed by Kol and finally Finn.
The three of them were ready to attack their brother when they saw Henrik. The three brothers were shocked to see him. It might have been a long time since they saw him but his face had never left their memory. They saw Henrik and all thoughts of hurting Nik went out of their minds. The three brothers engulfed their little brother in their arm and vowed to never let go.

‘How? How is it possible?’ asked Elijah.
‘He is still a spirit that Rebekah’s friend has summoned.’ replied Nik.
‘What magic is that?’ asked Kol.
He had always been fascinated by magic but he had never heard of magic where a witch could summon a corporeal spirit.
‘My friend, Aurora did a spell to link Henrik’s spirit to me as a conduit and as she is an exceptionally powerful person, Henrik is corporeal.’ Rebekah said pointing at Aurora.
She then introduced the Black siblings to her brothers.
Kol being Kol outrageously flirted with Aurora blind to the stink eye he was receiving from her brothers and his own; Niklaus.
Aurora had fascinated him when he had seen her in Chicago and now, he was looking forward to know her.
‘How will you raise our brother from the dead? Will it not upset the spirits?’ asked Finn.
‘The spirits can bitch and moan all they want; they do not control me. I am above them all. The spell is pretty straightforward. The spirit of your father has a connection to the time and place where Henrik took his last breath. With the new body I create for him along with the blood of his siblings, Henrik will be a brand-new boy with a brand-new body before the sun rises for the new day.’
‘What do you mean when you say that you are above the spirits? I have yet to meet a witch who was not afraid or wary of the balance kept by the spirts.’ asked Elijah.
Kol and Finn nodded at the question as they too were curious of the new friend of their sister.
‘I am not afraid of the spirits because I am not a witch, if anything the spirits should be afraid of me. I have more power in my body than all the spirts on the Other Side.’
‘Isn't she magnificent brothers?’ asked Nik with a smirk on his face.
His siblings all rolled their eyes while Aurora blushed and Sirius and Draco glared at the Hybrid.
Nik knew retribution for daggering his siblings was coming but he and his siblings had parricide to plan. With that the Mikaelson siblings planned their next move.
Draco transfigured some new clothes for Elijah, Kol and Finn, delighting Kol with his magic Sirius changed the colour of his shirt with great speed.
Sirius and Rebekah took Kol and Finn shopping for new clothes and necessities they would require. She shopped for Henrik too, buying entire wardrobe for the three brothers as Elijah already had enough suits to last him a life time.
