Red Roses and Blood

Start from the beginning
                                    

Grasping his hand in mine I stepped forward showing my fangs and I created a fireball in my other hand. "If you need some more inspiration to help us, how about this. If you don't help us then the wedding between my daughter Alina and Jackson is off and I will find a way to undo the hybrid gift of not having to turn away from you and you will have to turn every full moon just like I did when you all had to remain in your wolf form except when there was a full moon. So if you enjoy your freedom I suggest you start searching!"

"Now onto Marcel, heretic queen." Klaus smirked down to me draping his arm over my shoulder showing me his golden eyes enjoying seeing me firey like this.

Josh and Marcel met us in one of the alleyways but the former king of the city didn't think we were being serious. "Do you really think my guys would be that stupid? They know that if they even laid a finger on Hayley, they'd be answering to me."

Klaus tilted his head poking a finger at his failed proposal to get Rebekah to marry him. "Well, was it you who ordered the vampires to antagonize the wolves and string up that hybrid boy? No. I didn't think so. Perhaps your royal status has wilted along with your marital prospects."

Josh stepped between the two fighting kings. "All right, all right. Easy. The vampires like Hayley and Jacob .. Everyone does. We didn't touch them."

"Well, I suggest you amp up your efforts to retrieve her, then. Because if my wife is not reunited with her brother by sundown, then your entire faction will face the wrath of my disappointment." Klaus raised his voice giving this same threat to the other two factions while he now points his index finger at me leaning against the wall. Gripping my brother's necklace in my fingers I death glared at the vampire's. "Close proximity of just two Mikaelsons turned rain to blood. Imagine what would happen if I were to turn to my siblings for help. Our little family reunion would cause hellfire to devour us all."

We had made it back to the compound a few hours later where I laid my back on the bed staring at the ceiling of our bedroom. Twirling the blue gemstone in between my fingers I didn't even hear my husband enter the room until he sat down on the bed. "Our daughters and little Henrik are back at the school in Mystic Falls. And Freya is there to keep an eye on them."

"Hmm." I made a noise but nothing more than that while I just kept playing with the necklace not looking at him.

Nik laid down on his back just watching my movements slowly. He had seen all different kinds of my freak outs before. From me setting everything on fire to me bawling my eyes out and thinking I deserved to die. "Rae, what's wrong, love?"

"Nothing." Again only one word answer.

Finally he reached up, snatching my wrists and pinned them above my head. "Talk to me, Raelyn. I know you as well as I know myself. I know when you need to lash out and how you let go. But you haven't done one of those yet so what is going on?"

"Nothing is going on, Nik. I just....I don't know what to feel. I want to rip whoever took them apart. I want to know who it was so we can get them back. I want to know if they are even still alive. Because right now not knowing or doing anything is driving me crazy!" I pushed him off me with my magic sitting upright on the bed hugging my knees to my chest crying.

Klaus carefully moved towards me, raising his hands up, taking a hold of my shoulders, making me look him in the eye. "Rae, listen to me. I know you're frustrated and worried about them. But I swear we will put you at ease soon."

"I don't know what I'd do if you weren't here, Nik....I don't want to be alone. I feel alone without Jacob and you." Flinging my arms around his neck he stumbled down onto the floor where he was previously on his knees but now he was on his butt.
