A Mikaelson Reborn [TVD/Originals]

5.A Decision Made For The Better

Henrik moved his chair back up and nudged Alice's shoulder as she innocently smiled at him

"Please tell me what's so funny, Alice?"

Alice sets her french fries and wipes her hands from some of the salt on her fingertips and replies back to Henrik

Alice:Well I wouldn't say funny but more like cute, you know every single word to that song..I don't think I could even do that..

In a blink of an eye using his supernatural speed, Henrik snatches Alice's french fries away from her and starts to eat them in front of her

"Trust me, these kind of songs are not around for long so I like to enjoy them when I hear it"

The song eventually does end as Henrik turns off the radio and starts the car back up, he hands Alice her french fries back as she playfully smacks him on the shoulder making Henrik roll his eyes in a playful manner

But Alice did genuinely wonder why didn't Henrik want anyone who would recognize him to see him in Mystic Falls; most of all the family and friends he once had when he was Jeremy Gilbert

Henrik pulls out of the parking lot and drives in the direction of the Mikealson mansion; curiosity filling Alice's mind she asks Henrik what she was wondering

Alice:Henrik..why don't you want to see anyone else besides Rebekah? Did they do something to you?

Henrik's grip on the steering wheel tightens and without taking his eyes off the road he answers her question

"What didn't they do to me? My 'sister' was always trying to control my life and act like I didn't have a say in anything at all, Damon would always threaten me and just snap my neck whenever he wanted to.."

Alice could see the anger in Henrik's eyes as a small yellow glow shined from his eyes but he took a deep breath and calmed himself down

"They all acted like I couldn't handle myself with the supernatural but then I got the Hunter's Curse and now suddenly everyone stops treating me like a child.."

It really pissed him off knowing that he had gone through the same pain as Elena if not more than her and no one dared to consult him about his pain or trauma; it was all about Elena and never about him

"Then it turns out the whole reason why I worked to get the cure, Elena now doesn't want it..she's changed but she's not my problem anymore.."

He had this look of absolute relief wash over him..it was like this weight had been taken off of his shoulders and now replaced by something better than he could describe

As for Alice; she couldn't believe that Henrik had gone through that kind of torment..until recently they needed him, growing up with Henrik back in the village he proved himself time and time again and each time she saw how his siblings felt proud of what he would accomplish

If he didn't want anything to do with Elena or anyone else here in Mystic Falls then she understand why; Henrik glances at his rear view window and looks around making sure no one is watching them as he turns to Alice

"I think I should stop the car here, the mansion isn't that far from where we are..we just need to be careful"

Alice nodded her head understanding as he pulled the car into somewhere they'd remember and both step out as Alice walked over to the trunk and opened as she pulled out a backpack filled with clothes; Henrik hid behind a tree as Alice could hear him groaning and shifting into his werewolf form

A few seconds passed by as Henrik stepped out in his large russet werewolf form and walked over to Alice, he kneeled down a bit for to climb aboard his back; the thousand year old witch put the backpack on and carefully got on Henrik's back

She practically hung onto him for dear life as Henrik ran in the direction of the luminous Mikealson mansion that was across the woods at extraordinary speeds; it all felt like a blur to her seeing everything whoosh past them

She felt the wind brushing against her skin and her luscious long blonde hair being pushed back by the wind, if anything Alice hoped--prayed that Henrik made the right decision choosing to tell Rebekah first instead of Elijah or Niklaus
