Klaus's Demigod Daughter

Chapter 17

Thea woke up that night. She could tell it was late, but wasn't tired anymore. So she got up and decided to go for a run. She was no longer sore, the rest she had and the food had helped immensely. 

She walk downstairs and saw that Henrik was still awake.

"Are you alright, Henrik?" Thea asked, causing Henrik to jump slightly.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Nightmares are a bit rough," Henrik explained vaguely.

"I get that. Dad and Aunt Freya both have bracelets that tell them when I have a nightmare. I don't know if the others are aware of my nightmares or not, but I'm glad they don't ask if they are," Thea said, sitting down on the couch next to Henrik.

"How did you manage to get through that place eight times now?" Henrik asked, staring at the floor.

"I remember who I have to motivate me to keep going. I also had to remember my job wasn't done, which helped," Thea answered, "Your nightmares only about your time down there, right?" she asked.

"Sometimes. Other times they are about some guy trying to get ready to attack. Though, I am curious why I was taken to Tartarus, if we are dealing with someone else," Henrik spoke up.

"I think that was just to try to throw us off a little. However, we are all out of that place now. I wonder if you are a demigod as well. You shouldn't be having prophetic dreams, Rebekah and I should, but I wonder why you are," Thea said, looking over at Henrik.

A knock on the door disrupted their conversation.

Thea looked at Henrik in confusion, but got up to answer the door. 

"Who'd be knocking on our door this late at night?" Henrik asked, slightly weary.

With a shrug, Thea opened the door. Her eyes widened at who she saw, "Mom? Lord Hades?" Thea asked.

"Hello, Thea and Henrik," Athena said, "May we come inside?" she asked.

"Of course. Is there a reason both of you are here?" Thea asked, as the two walked inside.

"I came to check on my daughter. And see Niklaus, now that he knows the truth," Athena said.

"I came to see my son, now that he is back in the land of the living," Hades replied.

Thea's eyes widened in shock. Henrik was a bit confused, but clearly something big was said.

"My uncle is your son?" Thea asked.

"Yep. I didn't realize it until recently. So I apologize, Henrik," Hades replied.

"You're my father?" Henrik asked, a bit confused but a bit excited.

"Yes," Hades replied.

"I'm going to go get my dad," Thea said, running at vampire speed to get her father.

Thea knocked on her father's door in a rapid progression.

A slightly drowsy Niklaus opened the door. When he saw that it was Thea, who looked wide awake, the drowsiness left.

"Yes, Thea?" he asked, his bracelet never woke him up, so he was curious why she was so awake and alert at this hour.

"We have visitors. Henrik is talking with them now," Thea said. 

Niklaus looked back at his clock and saw that it wasn't even five in the morning yet, "Why are there people here so early?" he asked.

"Get dressed and come ask them yourselves. Though, one was here to say claim his son, the other wanted to see me and you," Thea answered.
