The Last Remaining Gemini

Start from the beginning
                                    

Removing my hands from the pages she disappeared from my view. "I love you too."

Klaus offered me his hand tugging me off the bed seeing that I was crying. "Come here, Rae." He wrapped his arms around my waist. Moving my fingers upward I death gripped his shoulders until I got out all my tears.

"Yeah, yeah. Uh let's go. We have got the Ascendant from Cami." I broke the hug heading down the hallway with him in toe.

"Remind me again why we gave it to her in the first place. I mean she's not a witch." He raised a brow at me until we got into the living room.

"Because if another witch got their hands on it they would use it against us and our girls." Halting in my tracks the girls we're playing tag with their grandfather until I cleared my throat. "Girls grab your coats. We have to head back to New Orleans before the sun sets."

"But we've only been here for an hour." Alina whined arms over her chest angrily.

Missy whispered. "Can we stay a little longer?"

"Please mom, dad." Hope begged us.

Klaus lowered himself onto his knees giving them a half smile knowing that they didn't want to leave. But we didn't have time to wait for another celestial event to come. "Girls, I know you don't want to leave. But this is how we can get closer to help your cousin Andrea with the Hollow. You don't want her to have to suffer for a long time do you?"

"No." The triplets responded.

He rose to his feet tilting his head in the direction of the doorway. "Good then we have to go. Go get your coats like mom said."

"I assume you'll be needing this too. It's the knife you and your brother merged with that night." My dad went over and revealed a knife from its hiding place behind a family portrait we had taken when we were younger.

He placed it in my hand where I winced feeling the magic inside the blade. "Ah! Yeah thanks for finding it. I swear one of these days we will bring the girls over for a real visit."

"Don't worry about it. Just protect my grandchildren, all four of them." He kissed my forehead before we got in the car driving back to New Orleans. We parked the car outside the witch cemetery seeing that Cami was already there with Hayley, Jacob and Andrea.

Cami steps forward pulling the Ascendent out of her jacket. "This is what you need right?"

Nodding my head I waved my freehand lighting all the candles in a circle on fire. Handing her some chalk I told my vampire friend. "Draw a circle with this around the candles. But make sure the candles remain outside the circle."

She began drawing as I told her while Klaus came over resting a hand to my cheek clearly concerned. "I wish it didn't always have to be you. Your uncle may have tried to make things right but he can still hurt you over there."

"We have to give our girls the coven power. Otherwise they might not be strong enough to defeat the Hollow once we know how. I'll be okay, Nik." Kissing him quickly I turn my back to him with Cami and Hayley going to stand beside him outside the circle.

Andrea stepped into the circle holding my brother's hand. "Daddy, what do I do?"

"Just do what Auntie Rae Rae tells you to do. You'll be just fine and I'll be here with you." He squeezed her hand holding up the knife from our merge. "Are you sure this is going to work, Rae?"

Hope, Alina and Missy stepped inside the circle with the three of us waiting for instructions. "Mom said that the Bennet line created the Ascendant. So we're using what little blood Cami got from Bonnie from last time. But basically we're going to give it the old college try, cause I don't know any other options."

"Alrighty then, let's do this." Jacob took the knife and sliced his palm with it dropping blood in the center of the circle ring. He handed it over to his daughter where she sliced a part of her hand following what he did.

Alina took the blade from her cutting her hand. "This helps us save Andrea?"

I nodded towards her watching Missy and Hope follow her movements. Missy put the blade in my hand where I quickly sliced it, dropping my blood on top of theirs. "So here's what I think we have to do. We use the Ascendent to open up another world. One where we can see Uncle Joshua and your second cousins Jo, Luke and Liv. We draw power from them and jump out before it kills us all."

"So no pressure at all." Jacob chuckles dryly, clearly more nervous now that I had said it.

Glancing at my brother I slumped my shoulders holding the Ascendent in my hands. "J, I wish I could say you can back out if you wanted. But we are the last remaining Gemini whether we are no longer linked to them or not. We share blood regardless. And this is to save your daughter."

"Okay, okay to save my daughter." He cleared his throat stepping up and holding the magical object in his hands alongside me.

Nudging my head in our direction I called the four young kids. "Girls, I need you all to come hold this with me and Jacob. And repeat the chants we say." The four children each put their hands around the Ascendent like we were doing where I closed my eyes.

"Dad, I'm scared." Andrea whimpered.

Jacob sent her a brave look. "Just close your eyes and do what we do, honey."

Closing my eyes I sighed feeling my vampire side drawing the magic from the Ascendent once I began chanting the different spells that we we're combining together. "Sanguinem desimilus , sanguinem generis flantes. Sanguinem desimilus , sanguinem generis flantes...Phasmatos obscuras, ex luces est nes umbres. Phasmatos obscuras, ex luces est nes umbres...Coniunctum est vita....Coniunctum est vita, Sanguinem desimilus , sanguinem generis flantes."

The wind around us began howling in our eyes and the others watched as the blood that we had dropped on the floor started circling us. So now we had three rings around our group. The Ascendent was turning red with the four out of the six of us siphoning off each other and the magic in this city. "Are we sure this is a good idea, Klaus?" Cami asked the hybrid, turning her head towards him.

"It's an attempt to save my daughter, Cami. I don't like endangering her but we have to do something." Hayley wraps her arms around herself gulping in nervousness seeing the love of her life and daughter doing this.

Yet Klaus was the more nervous out of the three just forced to watch. He moved his hand upward clutching the blue jewel necklace he was still wearing around his neck. "Raelyn, is the strongest witch I've ever seen. If something goes wrong she will get them all out of there. She..she has to." His gaze shifted forward and remained there watching when the six witches let go of each other's hands and collapsed onto the ground on their backs.
