Klaus: I don’t know. It’s kind of hard buying a gift for your partner when they already got everything they could’ve ever wanted when they married you. So I’m not sure yet.
Ive come to realise that time spent as a writer is mostly 90% daydreaming/thinking about what you want your characters to say/do…5% finding time to jot those thoughts down…4% cursing because you cant remember those awesome ideas you had and totally didnt jot down….and 1% actually writing your story.
So like…thinking about your story totally counts as time spent being productive on that story yeah? Yeah???
LEGACIES APPRECIATION WEEK, Day 4: Favorite Quotes
“What comes next is gonna be scary. And hard. The pain will probably never go away. You’re gonna miss her. It’s okay. It’s okay to miss her and feel sad. Because you’re also gonna feel something else. You’re gonna feel your sister beside you, no matter what, like she’s a part of you because she is. You will always feel her. She will never be fully gone. And that will make you brave.”

Author’s note: I hope you’ll enjoy this short one shot.
Imagine: you are Klaus’s eighteen-year-old hybrid daughter, but he doesn’t know about you until you get kidnapped.
‘Klaus you have until the sunrise before I kill your daughter. Bring me the bloodstone, and she’ll live.’
‘He’s bluffing. Hope is with Hayley.’ Said Rebekah, dark veins forming underneath her eyes.
‘Oh, I’m not talking about Hope, I would never hurt a child. I am not a monster,’ he smirked, ‘an eighteen-year-old, well, that’s a different kind of story.’
Klaus and Elijah exchanged looks. Then Elijah asked, ‘how do we know it is not a trick?’
‘I’ll give you the proof.’ He smiled deviously, ‘just remember you asked for it.’ Trevor took out his phone and dialled a number, ‘they want proof.’ When a video conversation was on, he passed the phone to the originals.
On the screen, they saw a girl whose hands were chained up loosely to the floor behind her and so were her legs. Her face was stained with tears. ‘Please, I do whatever you want just make it stop. Please.’ The girl cried. ‘I’m sorry sweetheart,’ sounded a woman’s cold voice, ‘don’t try to fight it.’ A horrible scream of the girl sounded as if someone was tearing her skin off. Her body shifted, and dark veins appeared under her now golden eyes. ‘Please!’ she screamed and cried, and the women laughed in a sicking pleasure.
‘Rose, I think that enough.’ Said Trevor, the screams were replaced by sobs. Trevor took the phone and hung up. ‘So, what about that stone?’
Klaus breathed heavily, a murderous look in his eyes accompanied by dark veins, ‘you will have it when you bring the girl.’
‘Niklaus, think about it.’
‘Elijah I know what I am doing.’
‘Well then if you excuse me,’ Trevor smirked, ‘I have a girl to escort.’
‘Trevor, you’re back.’ Rose threw herself into his embrace.
‘Of course honey.’ He stared into her eyes and then kissed her. ‘Alright, let’s get the girl.’
‘Please, let me go.’ Y/n cried, her whole body ached. She was confused what did all mean. Yesterday she was a student and a bartender, and now she was mixed up in some supernatural world. To say she was scared would be an understatement.
Trevor came up to her, his face an inch away, ‘you’re going to meet your daddy, aren’t you happy.’ He smiled.
‘Please,’ she whispered.
‘I am tired of this,’ said Rose walking up to them and broke Y/n’s neck.
Travis walked into the Mikaelson compound holding Y/n’ body bridal style, Rose right on his feet. They were greeted by the Mikaelson siblings: Klaus, Elijah, Kol, Rebekah and Freya; they all looked at the unconscious girl.
‘I said I would bring her, I never said she’ll be unharmed.’ Trevor’s eyes shine in madness and his teeth fully exposed. ‘Rose, be so kind and take the stone.’
Klaus walked towards Rose and Trevor, ‘first you will give me my daughter.’
‘You really don’t know how this works,’ Rose mocked, ‘stone first, then you can have the girl.’
‘Fine,’ Klaus smirked, ‘Elijah, give them the stone.’ Klaus looked deep into Trevor’s eyes, ‘give me her.’
The minute Y/n was is Klaus’s arms Elijah ripped Rose’s heart out, ‘to me seems like you don’t know how this works.’
‘Nooo!’ Trevor shouted and launched himself onto Klaus but Kol was faster and dipped his hand into the chest of the vampire, ‘you could have lived, mate,’ then he pulled the heart out.
Later that day.
Y/n gasped and lifted herself into sitting position grabbing her neck. Small tears streamed down her face. Klaus who sat next to the bed she was lying on reached his hand to her, but she moved away as if he was made of fire.
Their eyes locked in one another, ‘where am I?’ she sobbed.
‘You are safe now.’ He stood up and lead in to hug her this time she didn’t move away. Instead, she hugged him back. Klaus closed his eyes and gently run his hand through her hair. ‘I am sorry you had to go through all this.’ He said pulling away.
‘They killed her,’ she cried, ‘my mum, she gone.’
‘I am sorry.’
They hugged again. Klaus let her cry on his shoulder until she fell asleep, even then he stayed. He wanted to protect her, to be her shield. He swore to himself that no one will lay a hand his daughter.
Freya sat on the floor with a map in front of her. She used a spell to get the blood out of Elijah's’ sleeve. There wasn’t a lot of it. She begun to whisper the locator spell, she repeated it a couple of times, but nothing happened. In the room with her were her brothers, Klaus his patience was running thinner with every passing minute and Elijah who sat in an armchair, sipping a drink, drowning in thoughts. Freya stopped the spell and looked at Klaus with sorrow eyes. ‘I don’t understand, it should have worked.’ she said to him. ‘Maybe you should try harder.’ Klaus replied with rasping voice. ‘Nicklaus, it is not Freya’s fault.’ Elijah defended his sister. ‘I’ll try again.’ Said Freya and begun to recite the spell. After a minute or two, the spell changed, and both Klaus and Elijah looked at her. Her eyes were cloudy and tearing with blood, her nose bled as well. Her skin turned purple-grey, and it was cold to the touch. Elijah tried to shake her, he spoke to her to stop the spell, but nothing. She was in a trans. Physically she was there, but mentally she was elsewhere.
Freya - in-between
‘Where am I?’ she wondered. She saw a figure approaching her. It was a woman, she was wearing a delicate white dress, and her hair was let loose. Her skin was clear and pale her eye dark grey. ‘Who are you?’ Freya asked, and the women answered. ‘I am the mother of the girl you want to find, I am the protector of your desire, and I can be your ending.’ The woman’s voice was cold, and so was her presence, the cool air seemed to surround her, and now it was surrounding Freya too. Freya narrowed her eyes, lifted her chin and shot her magic at the women; she responded with a laugh and with one swift move of her hand Freya was on the ground. Her head pounding, nose bleeding and eyes watering, she felt cold, the coldness seemed to hug her body and cling to it. ‘Now this is only a beginning, a warning, leave my daughter alone. Don’t look for her. Because I’ll come for you, all of you.’ The women said harshly.
Mikelson’s mansion
‘Freya, wake up’ Elijah demanded. Her eyes still open as she fall to the ground. Her eyes closed and seconds later she was fighting for air. She was shivering, Elijah lifted her up bridal style and set her near the fireplace. He and Klaus kneeled next to her. ‘What the bloody hell happened?’ Klaus asked angrily. ‘I met the girls’ mother.’ She said staring at the fire. ’How?’ Elijah quizzed ‘I don’t know, it was so strange, the place, I never saw anything like it ,or heard of it. It was empty.’ She said now looking at Elijah. ‘She said to stop our search, or she’ll come for us.’ The men looked at each other, and then at Freya. Her eyes were fixed on the flames, but her mind was still processing the event.
‘I found her.’ Kol walked into the room proudly. ‘What did you do, brother?’ Elijah interrogated. ‘I compelled a couple of Marcel’s guys to look for the lass, now I will need one of you,‘ He pointed at his brothers ‘to confirm my findings.’ he smirked. ‘I’ll go, you stay with Freya.’ Elijah announced. Klaus wanted to object but his brother already vamp sped to where the presumed girl was.
Reader
“For God’s sake why does it have to be an abandoned house in the woods” Y/N spoke to herself, frowning her brows. She heard a branch break somewhere in the woods and jumped. “Don’t be paranoid. It’s woods, there are freaking animals living here.” She continued the conversation. Her gaze met the house. It wasn’t quite what she expected. She expected a scene rather form a horror movie. But surprisingly she saw a cosy home. Not a spooky ruin she expected. “Down the rabbit hole I go.” She whispered sarcastically to herself.
She stepped onto the porch, and the world spun. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath to maintain her balance and to calm the world. Opening her eyes, she grabbed the doorknob and pushed it. She entered the house.
As the door opened, it revealed a homey like space. A/N’s breath rose forming a could above her head. She walked through a short corridor and found herself in the living room.
…”Y/N, darling stop running.” A greyed haired woman said to a five-year-old girl, but the girl didn’t listen she just hid behind an armchair with a playful grim filled with high-pitched laughter…
Y/N touched the armchair that filled her head. She brushed it with the tips of her finger, her gaze then rested on a photo that stood on a coffee table. She picked up and brushed the dust off. On it was her mother standing with the grey-haired woman. The photo must have been taken before the accident that killed her mother and grandmother. Tears filled her eyes, she just whipped them away and settled the photo back on its original place.
She walked to the stairs
…”Dear lord, sweetheart are you alright. Asked the mother of the little girl.” The girl nodded with tears. “What happened?” Concern pained on the woman’s face. And then joined a much older woman. “What’s happened?” She asked. “I, I was running after,“ The girls sobbed. “a fairy and I fell.” The girls face washed with tears. The two women looked at each other thinking the same thing. “Well, it is time for bed.” Said the younger women, she lifted the child and took her to the girls’ bed. Sleep well sweetheart.
Y/N was standing in the door to a bedroom of a little girl. She backed out of the room and look ahead on the closed door.
“Y/M/N we need to stop this before it’s too late.” Your grandmother said to your mother. “We already took her powers, I don’t think it is wise to take all of her ability,” said your mother. Your grandmother took the hand of her daughter on which rested the engagement ring that once belonged to her. “I will not take her ability, I will conceal it, and you will protect it until the time comes.” A smile of concern and encouragement covered the old woman’s face. She whispered a spell. The two women walked up to a door at the end of a short hall. “One day it will all be revealed to her, but now she needs to be a child, as normal as a child can be.” Your grandmother opened the door and walked upstairs to the attic. There a study room of a witch was hidden. “Mum, what are you doing?” Your mother asked. Your grandmother just smiled and murmured a spell. When she was done, she looked exhausted. “Mum, what did you do?” The old witch looked at. “I linked the ring to this room if anything happened and you and I,” she said with pessimistic tone. “are not here to guide her, she will recover all of her memories, powers and abilities when she walks in here wearing the ring.” “But,” “No, honey, I know you will be here for her, but my darling daughter we can’t possibly see the future and this room contains many, objects that many people want.”
Y/N hesitated when her hand rested on the doorknob to the room at the end of the hall. She took a deep breath, closed her eyes and twisted the knob *click* then she opened her eyes and pulled the door. She stood before the open door. Her gaze travelled to her hand and to the ring she wore, then it turned to the stairs. Her eyes considered the stairs, they were quite long and twisted on the top, she could not see what exactly was at the end.
Right foot on the first stair, her hand on the railing, then left foot. She walked up to where the stairs ended, and a room was revealed to her eyes.
It reminded her of an antique store[MA2] . Clustered. Large table stretched through the room, it was covered item. She took a deep inhale then walked into the room. Walking up to the table she noticed that there were books opened. She lurked into one and noticed that she could not understand the language. Her gaze fixed on the book, lowering her hand slowly, her fingertips connected to the page, barely touching it. When her skin reached the paper, she felt stinging pain, shooting from above her breasts and up to her head. Her hands crashed into the table providing the only support. Breath shaking as she tried to push the pain away.
Kol and Elijah
“So, is it her?” Kol asked impatient, looking at the girl walking into the house that did not look particularly pleasant: blinded windows, dead garden, dull colours covered the house. “Perhaps.” Elijah provided a short but assertive answer. He didn’t quite remember how the girl looked like, he never paid attention to that, but her scentthat’s a different story. “Enough for me.” Kol announced and moved forward. He was stopped by Elijah’s steady hand on his chest. “Patience, brother.” Elijah didn’t lose the sight of the girl until he heard something snap in near distance. Both brothers looked at each other, the same question on their minds: what was that?

A/N:I hope the story is up to your expectations. I have to admit I had no idea where to start. I hope you enjoy!
“Where are you going?” Y/N rubbed her sleepy eyes, and as her vision become clear, she realised that her husband Klaus is getting dressed. “Go back to sleep, love.” He said as he was putting a leather jacket on. “I will be back soon.” He added and leaned in to kiss her. Then he left their bedroom.
Klaus and Y/N were living in the mansion with Klaus’s siblings, his one-night stand and his daughter; surrounded by enemies, constant threat and very little friends. And now that they were married, Y/N was in more danger than ever and since she didn’t want to go through the change yet, she was an easy target for Mikealson’s enemies. To protect their home and the most vulnerable members of the family – that being Y/N and Hope - Y/N become the owner of the mansion and only invited could enter.
Y/N loved Klaus. She fall in love with him three years ago, when she came to New Orleans as a tourist after her parents died in the car accident – it is safe to say that winter roads plus New Year drunkenness equal drunk road pirates. – when they were coming home at night from their friends’ party. She was supposed to stay for a couple of days with her friends when she met Klaus and knew that he was the one she wants to be with. Since then they were like that; bonded by pure love. The day of their mirage was the happiest and saddest day of her life. She was filled with joy because she finally found her prince charming, but she was devastated because the two most important people in her life were no longer with her. Thanks to Klaus she had now a new family, a new life. They all accepted her as their own. She become best friends with everyone in the family. However, sometimes she wished it was only her and Klaus. The two of them with a family of their own. She never told anybody, especially the hybrid because she didn’t want them, him to think that she was selfish. So she kept it a secret. Weeks passed by and her sadness deepened, especially now that her king was never around, she falls asleep alone, and most of the time she woke up when Klaus was getting ready to leave. She missed him. His touch. His warmth. His essence.
Y/N sat on the couch in the living room, she was reading a book and sipping green tea from her favourite cup that she bought in Paris when she and her lover were on their honeymoon. Intensely focused on the love story, she was reading; imagining the prince in the book, that she didn’t realise that her own walked in.
Klaus was leaning against the doorframe. He observed his beautiful wife, and he couldn’t help but smile. She was his, and he would do anything for her. He still did not comprehend how she, pure as an angel could fall in love with a monster like himself. He let out a breath he did not realise he was holding and Y/N’s attention shifted from the book to him.
He walked up to her and sat beside her. Klaus extended one of his arms, and she came to his embrace. “How was your day, love?” He started the conversation. “You know the usual stuff.” She said. ‘Like what?” He questioned. “Well, I made myself breakfast, then I took a shower, cleaned a little, then I painted a little, okay more than a little, and now I am reading some book I found in the library.” She listed. “Seems like a busy day.” She nodded, and he added, “Wait a minute, did you only eat breakfast?” He looked at her with frowned brows and playfully angry eyes. “It is very possible.” Y/N answered. The hybrid rolled his eyes and took her hand motioning her to get up. “Come, I’ll make us something to eat.” She smiled and took his hand, getting up really fast. She lost her balance half collapsed into his arms. “Are you alright?” Klaus was worried. “It’s nothing.” She said taking his hand, walking to the kitchen.
Y/N sat on the countertop and Klaus prepared them dinner. The house was quiet. Rebekah and Freya went away for a shopping trip. Elijah took Hayley and Hope to spend some time together, and even Kol found himself somewhere else to be so the two of them could be alone for at last couple of days. After they had dinner, they sat on the couch in the same spot as before. They cling to one another telling the ridiculous stories from their past. It was so cute just the two of them. No one to interrupt. No worries. Just peacefulness. One thing led to another, and now in their bedroom, they were reliving their first honeymoon night.
The weekend was lovely, but like most things, it came to an end. The mansion was full once again.
Three Weeks Later
For some reason, you become angry. At everything and everyone.
“Urgh, where is it?” You searched angrily for your bracelet; the last gift from your parents. You crawled under the bed to search for it, but instead of finding the jewellery, you found a spider. And you being hysterically afraid of them you screamed, lifting your head instantly and you hit yourself, shouting ouch, and desperately getting out of there. “Y/N, is everything alright?” You recognised Elijah’s voice. You sat on the floor, your back resting against the wall. You breathed out loudly and tilted your head back to face the vampire. “Yes, I’m fine.” You lied, in reality, you were an emotional roller-coaster, in one moment you were happy and then seconds later you wanted to cry and the next you were angry. Truthfully you didn’t understand why. “It’s just-“ You continued “I lost my bracelet, and I wanted to look for it under the bed, and instead of finding it, I found a bloody spider.” You rolled your eyes. Elijah smiled amusedly. He lived for thousands of years, and there were not many things that could scare him, especially the most mundane things such as spiders. “I am sure you will find it.” He smiled kindly. “I hope so.” You said sadly, not looking at him. “I think I’ll go for a walk, to calm down a little.” You announced and got up getting your jacket which rested on the floor as you had a tendency to throw thing and clean them up later. “Would you like me to keep you company?” Elijah asked kindly. “No, I need some time to think.” You smiled in apology. “As you wish.” He said, and the both of you silently went down the stairs.
You left the mansion and was on your way to nowhere in particular when you hear. “And where do you think you’re going, love?” You rolled your eyes annoyed. Not turning around, you answered your husband. “For a walk. Alone.” Your annoyance clearly noticeable in your voice. “I am sorry, love, but it not safe for you to be out and about especially alone.” He replied calmly and added. “How about we go home now, and I promise that we will escape the town for a weekend. We can go anywhere you want. Deal?” You knew it was not an argument you could win. Because the truth to be told he would not let you go alone. And it would end up with you back in the mansion. However, stubbornness was something you got from your father, and so you decided to pursue your plan. You started to walk. With a speed of a wind, Klaus was standing right in front of you. You crossed your hands and squinted your eyes and pursed your lips. “You know it is dangerous, Y/N.” “It is always dangerous, now get out of my way Niklaus.” The moment he herd his full name leave your mouth he was confused, you only used his full name when you were angry with him. So, what did he do? He questioned in his thoughts. “What’s wrong? What did I do?” He asked, his voice filled with hurt. You took a deep breath and sighed. “I need to put everything together. I am scared, Klaus. Every time you leave, I’m scared that you will not return to me, to us.” Tears were fighting their way to escape, but you fought them back. “I am scared that the promise we made, that the vow doesn’t mean anything to you,”You couldn’t fight it any longer, and you let the tears loose. Klaus swallowed hard and stood there like a statue, while you continued to speak. “I understand you made a vow to your siblings and they made one to you. But I- I can’t, I’m lost, I don’t know what to do, now that I-“ He didn’t let you finish as he took you to his embrace and gently pressed his lips to yours. “You mean the world to me.”He said against your lips and then pressed them back to yours. “I am sorry if you felt abandoned by me. It will never happen again. I swear.” You smiled through your tears which were like a wild waterfall streaming down your face. He cupped your cheeks and softly whipped the tares off. “I need to tell you something.” You said to him. He looked deep into Y/E/C eyes. “What is it darling?” A cheerful smile appeared on your face. “You need to promise that you will stay calm.” You toyed with him. “I cannot make such promise, love. But I will try.” He said seriously but playfully, attempting to match your tone. You leaned in and whispered in his ear so nobody else could hear you. You wanted to share this moment with him and only him. Your warm breath made him shiver awaiting the news, and then you said sweetly “I am pregnant.”
Reader, Klaus, Elijah, Kol, Freya, readers!mother, Alex and stepfather
A/N:Hi guys, I hope you enjoy. I know this took a little longer than usual, but I have a heap of work to do for school and very little time. I will try to post the next part very soon. I hope you all had a lovely weekend and here is a little something to cheer you up as the weekend is ending.
‘God, what happened to you?’ Kol joked. Klaus gave him a look that said, ‘to wipe that smile off his face or he will regret that he asked’. Elijah ignored him and sat on the couch. ‘Good, you are back, we are running out of time, do you have it?’ Freya sped into the room asking, before paying attention to her brothers who had blood all over their clothes. ‘No, Freya,-‘ Klaus was more angry with himself for failing to bring what they needed, but before he could say too much, he was cut off by Elijah. ‘We faced some complications. The books were not in the house, and the host turned out to be a werewolf,’ Elijah spoke calm, but the hints of anger were visible on his face. ‘and what we believe was the only person who could have any knowledge as to were the books may be hidden, has no idea who she is and she run off.-‘ Before he could finish he was interrupted by Kol’s clapping ‘Way to go, brothers, you are sent to bring the very thing that can save us, and you not only fail to do so, but you also manage to lose the person that can get it for us. Well done - *clap* - really *clap*’ Klaus breathed heavily staring at Kol ‘Don’t test my temper brother’ he hissed. ‘We will hunt her down.’ Kol smirked. ‘Ye, brother and how are you planning on doing that?’ ‘I have her blood on my sleeve’ answered Elijah ‘Will that be enough to track her down?’ He looked at Freya. ‘It will have to, but how can you be sure it is hers’?’ She questioned. ‘It has a specific scent.’ Elijah explained. ‘If that doesn’t work, then- ‘Klaus smirked on his own thought ‘- we will hunt her like a huntsman hunts his pray.’
Your stepfather’s place
He paced back and forth in his office, breathing loudly through his nose. He ran his hand through his hair and turned around to face a man that held your sister. ‘I told you to get her out of the town!’ He had a fire in his eyes. ‘Boss, I – ‘The man tried to explain himself, but he was cut off when your stepfather punched him in the face, he spit out a mouth full of blood. ‘I don’t want to hear this pathetic explanation’ The words escaped between his teeth. His back was turned to the man, he opened and closed his fists. You know, Roy,-‘ He spoke to the man still not facing him. He poured a glass of scotch and begun to walk towards the man sipping the drink. ‘I trusted you, I had faith in you, the others warned me you had a soft heart,’ his fist met the man’s face again, this time Roy grinned in pain. Rees breathed out loudly (aka your stepfather) and continued ‘, but I told them that they are wrong.’ Frustration swiped his face. ‘Tell me, how a man that can easily be mistaken for a mountain, is such a softie?’ He kneeled before Roy. ‘What should I do with you. How do I punish you? You lost something that was important, we waited so many years. You see-‘ Rees look to the side and then back to Roy. ‘she was going to lead me to a very powerful book, that my dear, selfish bitch of a wife and her mother alongside her other ancestors, hid away from me.’ Roy was petrified by Rees’s mad voice, he gulped. ‘I, I can make it right I can find her.’ Said Roy, your stepfather clapped his cheek. ‘I know you will’ he said standing up. ‘I give you twenty-four hours, to hunt this bitch and bring me the spell book, and mark my words I want Lilyan unharmed in my arms by midnight tomorrow, and Y/N you can kill her once the job is done, I don’t need her in the way.’ Leaving the room, he turned to Roy, to look at him for the last time with a satisfied smile. ‘Hunt her like the wolf hunts the sheep.’
You stopped in a motel, ten miles away from New Orleans. You couldn’t just go into the town in broad daylight when people were looking for you. You needed a place to think. After all, your ghost mother contacted you from another dimension, or rather you enteredanother dimension. You just found out that your stepfather is monsterironicallyquite literally and you needed to find some book, in some old house, oh you’re a witch. Could this world get any weirder?
You were pacing in the room while spiking to yourself. ‘What do I do, think Y/N, think.’ You were fidgeting with your hands; moving in frustration. ‘Think, how do I find this godforsaken house, if I don’t even remember being there.’ You run both of our hands through your hair. You then sat on a chair, you pressed your back firmly against the seat, tilting your head and resting both of your arms on your eyes. Focus, Y/N. I wish I could speak with mum. But how? Think, how did you see her the first time?’ You shivered at that thought. ‘He knocked me out. So, what, do I beat the f out of myself? You exclaimed frustrated. ‘Okay, the second time I was exhausted.’ You opened your eyes and narrowed your gaze at nothing in particular. ‘Oh, I’m such an idiot’ You said as you found a solution to your problem or at least one-third of your problem.
‘Alex this is the only way I can contact her.’ You were frustrated with him. ‘You have to be fucking kidding me. Y/N. I. Am. Not. Doing. This.’ He was even more frustrated then you were. ‘Alex-‘He cut you off. ‘You fucking mad, I am not going to help you kill yourself!’ You couldn’t help but to laugh, you always burst into a laugh when his voice turned to that, that reminded you of a little girl. ‘- Alex, you will not kill me, not technically at least’ You tried to calm him down. ‘Enlighten me. What do you call drowning you in a bathtub? Hm.’ He placed his hand on his hip. ‘You will bring me back after a minute.’ ‘You speak of it as it was nothing, you know. Just a casual day, it’s noting. Just drowning my friend in a fucking bathtub. Oh, what could possibly go wrong?!’ His voice angry and sarcastic. ‘Alex,’You said very calmly ‘- I can’t do it myself, please I need the answers.’ You looked at him with eyes of a begging puppy, it was a trick he could not resist. ‘You know I hate when you use that expression to manipulate me, but’ He took a deep breath ‘I will help you.’
All smiled up you walked to the bathroom, Alex right behind you not so excited. You actually didn’t know why you were so hyped, you were about to temporary kill yourself. “What could possibly go wrong?”
You were sitting in the bathtub full of water. ‘Alex, you’ll need to hold me under the water.’ You said to him yet again. ‘You don’t have to tell me Y/N I know what to do.’ You smiled at him wickedly. ‘How do you know?’ You tizzed him. ‘Y/N, we are not doing this’ He said seriously.
You took a deep breath, held your nose, shut your eyes and submerged in the water. You then felt Alex’s hands on your shoulders, holding you down as your body fought for the air.
It only lasted a couple of seconds.
In-between
You lifted yourself up gasping for the air. It worked, it really worked. You thought, looking around the familiar place. You stood up and started to walk around calling your mum. ‘Mum, where are you? We need to talk. Mum!’ Tears begin to form in your eyes. ‘I need you’ you whispered into the air, sitting down holding onto your knees.
Yousensedher presence, and you immediately twisted around. ‘Mum’You were relieved. ‘Y/N, what are you doing, you can’t be here if they find you’ Your mum was worried and clearly tensed. ‘Mum, who are you talking about?’ She frowned her brows, run her hands over your shoulders, to your hands. She looked at your hands, and a shy smile appeared, she rubbed her thumb on the ring you were wearing. Unable to look at you she said ‘I can’t believe you still have it, I thought he would take it from you.’ She finally looks at you with sorrow eyes. ’Mum, last time I was here you told me to go to the house but I can’t remember where it is and the spell books, they must be hidden, where do I look?’ You questioned, frustrated. ‘The books were hidden in such way that only you can find them and the house, don’t worry about it the minute you enter the city all that was lost will return, slowly.’ She smiled encouragingly, but you were too overwhelmed by the past events, and you couldn’t hold it any longer, and you just let go, letting the tears wash your face.
‘Hey,’Your mum said quietly ‘everything is gonna be just fine, believe in you, like I do.’ You lifted your head to look into her eyes, and then you hugged her. It felt like she was taking all the worry away from you.
She pushed you at arm’s length, took a deep breath and said. ‘Now, you need to go back and don’t come back here. This is a dangerous place, if they catch you they will keep you here. Living should not enter this place. Do you understand?’ You nodded “yes” ‘You also need to know that many people will look for these spell book and diaries. They are powerful tools leading to important places, powerful objects and people. You can’t trust anyone.’ You nodded again. ‘One more thing you can’t take Lily with you.’ You looked at her surprised. ‘But-‘She cut you off. ‘No, Y/N, I know this is difficult, but you will need to send her away with Alex.’ You were shocked, how did she know? But you didn’t ask because she would cut you off anyway. ‘I have been watching over you two, I know everything. I will protect Lily and Alex, but you will need to find the books yourself there is a lot of people after you. Dangerous people and they will not hesitate to hurt Alex or even Lily, just to get those books. You need to separate.’ Tears were strimming down your face once again. ‘Don’t worry honey it will only be a short while. You shrug, feeling a push on your chest. ‘It is Alex he is waking you up. Now, listen to me carefully.’ She gripped your shoulders forcing you to maintain eye contact. ‘The books are powerful, don’t touch them with your bare hands, because their power will be overwhelming. You need to learn and familiarise yourself with your magic. Here take this it will protect you.’ You felt another push.
You sat in the bathtub coughing and heavily breathing in and out. Once your breathing returned to normal, you looked down at your hand in which you were holding a crystal pendant. You recognised the crystal as smoky quartz.
Alex looked at you in confusion. ‘Did it work, did you see her?’ You looked at him, noticing his presence ‘Yes, and you won’t like what it.’
‘Y/N, I can’t take care of her.’ Alex pointed at Lily with frustration, but you knew that there was no negotiating this. ‘Both of you enough. Lily, I know you want to come with me, but it will only be a couple of days. And Alex, you are the only one I can trust with her.’ They both looked at you with begging eyes, and even if you didn’t like the idea of separating, you knew it had to be done. ‘Please, don’t leave me.’ Lily was hysterical she couldn’t catch a breath, crying. So you kneeled down and hugged her tight. ‘I know you don’t like it, I don’t like it either.’ ‘So why can’t I stay with you?’ You took a deep breath to stop yourself from crying. ‘It will be very short, and we will be together in no time’ You hugged her even tighter and kissed her on her cheek, she giggled. You stood up and hugged Alex and whispered into his ear. ‘Take her as far as you can, don’t stop until you know no one will find you, don’t contact me. I will find you.’ You took a deep breath and handed Alex your car keys. Then you hugged Lily again. ‘Safe trip, see you soon, love you.’ You said, and they left replying love you too. You knew this wasn’t going to be a short separation but you couldn’t tell them.
When you saw them leave the driveway, you put on your jacket and boots and went to the reception. Hoping there is still a car available to rent.
‘Hi, sorry,’ You caught the attention of an old lady at the reception desk. ‘How may I help you, dear?’ ‘I would like to rent a car.’ ‘You are lucky we have one car left, may I have your ID and driving licence?’ You gave her the document answered a couple of questions, and soon you were holding a pair of car keys. Thank you, bye’ You smiled at the lady and left the building.
You found the car, got in it and drove towards the New Orleans.
