✅️ Gemini Runaway

Evening in the French Quarter

"Werewolves aren't allowed here." Someone came through the night showing their fangs meaning a vampire.

Jacob got to his feet seeing two more appear behind him. "Raelyn.."

"You're coming with me, wolf." The main vampire threatens Hayley.

Hayley growls shoving the one in front of me. "I have had it up to here with vampires telling me what to do."

Turning around on my feet I turned my hands into fists ready to fight until I saw a blonde streak of hair vamp behind the other vamps watching us. One of the vamps had their neck snapped and the other lost his heart. "Now that is no way to treat a pregnant lady. I do hate bad manners." I smiled seeing it was Rebekah who dropped the heart in her hands.

It was a few moments later where the three of us were now standing outside the house that Nik had gotten when we came back here. There was a pile of dead bodies in front of us. Nik glared at me and my twin brother. "Werewolves are banned in the Quarter. What exactly made you think it was a good idea to stroll through with one?"

"I didn't know she was a wolf, Nik. She asked for mine and Jacob's help and I offered." I snapped back at him before he went on blaming me.

He rolled his eyes seeing Rebekah starting to walk towards one of the bodies that was still alive. "I had a plan, and your little nighttime stroll put it all in peril! Leave him! You've done enough, don't you think? Leaving a trail of bodies like a road map to my door?"

"If I hadn't overheard this lot bragging about werewolf heads, everyone here would be screwed. And don't give me that crap about having a plan. You've had all the time in the world to execute a plan, and no one's seen you do a damn thing! Elijah made a deal to protect your child, so that it could save you from your selfish, rotten self. But you obviously don't give a damn about the child or Elijah, because what have you done to honor it?" Rebekah raised her tone towards her bastard brother, throwing her hands up in the air and away from her sides.

Jacob enters the conversation standing beside me with Hayley on his other side. "Listen Klaus, it was my fault. I didn't tell her because I didn't think it would be a good idea to make her worry about her safety. So I didn't say anything."

"Oh don't worry, you are to blame for endangering the life of the woman I love...as for my plan." Klaus raised his voice towards him. "I have done everything. Let me spell it out for you, shall I? From the day I arrived, Marcel hasn't trusted me. From Day One, he's had his vampires ingest toxic vervain which, as you know, little sister, protects them from my mind control. I needed a spy, someone on the inside with me who Marcel would never suspect. So, I created a Day Zero and got there first. Marcel had just lost six vampires, thanks to your little murder spree, and he needed new recruits. So, I made the new one mine, before he'd had even a drop of vervain. But we all know the real way to a man is through his heart."

"So what exactly am I supposed to do then while you are running around the Quarter?" I stomped up to him resting my hands on my larger stomach. It had been three months since we had left Mystic Falls meaning that it wouldn't be long before the babies due date. "Or am I supposed to remain inside this house like a prison similar to the Gilbert living room."

He drifted his gaze down to mine, sighing heavily. "I'll talk with you later, Rae. Just know you aren't a prisoner just because you are carrying my children inside you."

"Then what exactly is the next step of your master plan hmm?" I asked him raising myself up on my toes for a brief moment until my feet got tired.

Nik grabs the vampire that's still alive from the pile dragging him up towards the house where the four of us follow his heels. "And this one - I'm gonna drain him of vervain, compel him to believe his mates found religion and moved to Utah, so that he can explain to Marcel why he lost three more vampires tonight."

"Can I ask if it is okay if I stay here tonight?" Hayley asked, staying beside the closed front door nervous that he was about to throw her out.

Jacob spun around on his feet instantly not waiting for Klaus to answer. "Yes, of course." He leads her towards the staircase leaving the three of us alone in the main entrance of the room.

"I'll give you two some time alone. It's been a long day." Rebekah said vamping out of the room not wanting to have a longer conversation with her brother tonight.

Once she was gone Nik vamped in front of me gently grabbing my face in his hands cradling my gaze to meet his gaze. "Are you alright, Rae. The babies..did they?"

"No, no, I'm fine. Rebekah found us before anything happened. We're perfectly fine." I reassured him, moving my hands up to grip his forearms gently, needing him to not worry so much about me all the time.

He slumped his shoulders pulling me in for a hug gently wrapping one arm around my waist. His other hand ran through my loose hair. Wrapping my arms around his neck I laid my head against his heart. "I didn't mean to snap at your brother. I just wanted to keep you safe."

"He understands that, Nik....oh." Drawing my head back I dropped a hand to my stomach feeling something kicking against my belly.

Nik instantly went into panic mode. "What's wrong, Raelyn?"

"Nothing...they're kicking. Here, here feel." I chuckled, taking one of his hands and putting it over my stomach. I watched a smile grace his face when a few seconds later he felt three different kicks against his hand. We could both hear the three heartbeats but this was something much different.

He smiled leaning forward kissing my forehead with a reply. "They certainly are strong ones. Just like their mother..Hey Rae, are you feeling alright, you're trembling?"

I hadn't realized that I was shaking until he squeezed a hand on my shoulder where I snuggle into his warmth mumbling under my breath feeling the babies taking the strength from me. "Ug...the babies...siphoning magic again.." I attempted to remain standing on my own two feet but that wasn't the case when my knees buckled underneath me.

"Raelyn, woah now...I'm here. I've got you." He quickly vamped me up bridal style into his arms carrying me to our room in the house laying me down on the pillows. He ram his fingers through my hair seeing my eyes beginning to close where he got to his feet.

Weakly managing to grab his wrist I stopped him from leaving. "Stay with me, please Nik."

"I'm right here, love." He mumbled ditching his shirt and wrapping his arms around my waist. Laying my head on his chest I wrapped my arms around his neck snuggling closer into his warmth and comfortable embrace dosing off.
