Little Witches | Mikaelson Fanfic [Book 2]

Chapter 27: I'm Going To Lose It

2x22

[At the ORCHARD, Dahlia continues the spell as their blood merges together in the middle of the infinity symbol. Suddenly, Dahlia and Klaus are knocked backward forcefully by the power of the spell, and both gasp loudly as Dahlia feels the rush of Klaus' power through her. In the car, Hope starts to whimper, so Klaus walks over to check on her. Once Dahlia has recovered, she begins to laugh happily while Klaus' back is turned to her. Ophira wakes up]

DAHLIA: With your strength, I will never need to sleep for a century again.KLAUS: Well... perhaps one more nap.

[Dahlia, confused, turns back toward Klaus, who turns around to face her with the tip of the golden dagger piercing his chest. Dahlia realizes what he's about to do and thrusts her hand toward him, but it's too late-- he's already daggered himself, and she and Klaus both begin to weaken immediately as the dagger takes its effect. Once Klaus has desiccated, they both fall unconscious onto the floor. Hope continues to cry when she sees her aunt and father laying on the ground, but after a moment.] 

OPHIRA: Dad!

[Freya awakens with a gasp next to her and looks around in surprise to find both Dahlia and Klaus neutralized]

[It is daylight now, and Freya is holding a fussy Hope in her arms as she rocks her soothingly. Hope keeps an eye on Klaus and Dahlia's neutralized bodies as she does so. After a moment, Elijah arrives, having run the entire way there at vampire speed. Ophira was furiously sitting by Klaus]

FREYA: Well, my adage holds-- nothing good ever happens in a clearing in the woods.ELIJAH: Nothing good ever happens where my brother is concerned.

[Elijah looks at Hope, who has stopped crying, and his face softens slightly at the sight of his niece safe and sound. He nods in Hope's direction]

ELIJAH: With two exceptions.

[Elijah looks at Ophira and rubs Hope's back soothingly, and Hope whimpers as she rubs her eyes with her small hands]

ELIJAH: How is are they?FREYA: There a Mikaelson's. There resilient.

[She watches as Elijah examines Klaus and Dahlia's bodies]

FREYA: When I woke, they were like this. Rebekah tells me Klaus has a plan to kill Dahlia, that he knew our plan would not work?ELIJAH: Yes. According to him, our ingredients were incorrect. Niklaus infiltrated Dahlia's mind. You didn't break her heart. We needed the blood of the witch she loved the most, and you are not that witch-- that honor goes to our beloved mother.

[Freya sighs in frustration, as she knows that Esther has been dead since she killed her in ]

ELIJAH: So, we need Esther's blood? Well, that's impossible-- I killed her.
OPHIRA: You know all of you have killed her by now I think its my turn.

[Though he is mildly surprised, Elijah does not seem at all upset by this confession]

ELIJAH: One incarnation.

[Freya looks at Elijah in shock]

ELIJAH: Our mother is buried in New Orleans. Niklaus wants us to revive the original body.
OPHIRA: So lets raise Auntie Esther...

[Klaus is sitting at the bar of the club, upon which he has placed Hope and her car seat and Ophira was reading a grimoire ignoring Klaus. Who she was beyond pissed at. After a moment, his phone buzzes, and when he checks it, he finds it's a text from Marcel, which reads, "I found your witch." Before he can process this, Cami walks into the club, and Klaus immediately gets to the point without any greeting]
