Bad Blood

Chapter 18

I was walking back to the compound, when I felt someone following me, I slightly turned my head. My eyes landed on a woman, she was around the corner, staring at me. I looked at her, and gulped, she seemed oddly familiar, more so than that Kaleb dude. She seemed like I knew her but her face was different, and I wanted to know more about her. But I was afraid, Uncle Lijah taught me not to talk to strangers in this town... especially witch strangers. I could smell she was a witch from a mile away. I sped back home, to the compound, as fast as I could. I sped to my room and locked my door, breathing heavily. Who were these people?! Where are they coming from?! Why are they here?! Why was that woman staring at me from afar?! Who is that boy trying to get with Davina?!

I heard Davina in pain, so I sped to the sound, and saw her being attacked at Roussau's. Uncle Lijah sped in and tore the vampire off her, Mikael? My grandfather? What is going on? I sped to Davina,
Uncle Lijah said" Father?"
Mikael said" Hello, son. I'd hoped to see your brother first... but we have some unfinished business as well." Then Uncle Lijah punched him, and I saw the dagger... the white oak dagger. I breathed heavily, Marcel appeared next to us,
He said" We're getting out of here."
Davina said" I need my bracelet. I can use it to control him." Uncle Lijah screamed in pain,
I said" Uncle Lijah!" Marcel sped to the bracelet and threw it to Davina, then she stood up.
" Stop." Mikael stopped in front of her instantly," Go back now." She walked away, I ran to Uncle Lijah and held onto his stomach,
He said" Something to say?"
Kaleb said" Not me, mate. Not a bloody thing." I looked up at Uncle Lijah, what's going on? How's all this going on?!

We were home now, I havent let go of Uncle Lijah yet,
Uncle Klaus said" It was worse than we thought. I met the witch, Cassie. I studied her, her presence. The way she carried herself. The fervor with which she voiced her hatred of our kind. I looked into that girl's eyes and I swear to you, Elijah... she is not just guided by our mother, she is our mother."
Uncle Lijah said" What is happening?" He walked to the other side of the room, me attached to the stomach the entire way.
" I'm going to kill her. I will boil her bones and feed them to the dogs, if that's what it takes."
" Niklaus."
" What? What could possibly be more important than the return of our mother?"
" Our father. I saw him standing there in the flesh as you do now. He was enslaved with some spell cast by Davina. He holds the stake. If she chooses to release him..."
" Well, then there's only one question we need to ask, isn't there? Which of our parents do we kill first?"

Hayley walked in with wolves,
She said" Take any of the rooms on the first floor."
Uncle Klaus said" Are we running a kennel now?"
" I'll handle them."
" Our family is under siege. It is not time for guests."
" If they're not with us, they're with the witches. You asked me to step up. This is me stepping up."
" Well, it seems I'm a good influence on you after all." I ran to Hayley and collided with her stomach, she smiled and looked down to me." I don't see Oliver amongst them. Am I to assume you finished him off?"
" We made a deal. He'll pledge his loyalty to Cassie, report back, and tell me everything he learns."
" Well done." He walked away,
" You girls can just go in there."
Uncle Lijah said" You two have your hands full."
" Were you just leaving?"
" To be perfectly honest with you... the presence of all of them here, it's a little much. Though perhaps it's for the best. You should be with your kind." He walked away,
I mumbled" Oh, he's doing his thing again." Images came into my mind, I saw Uncle Lijah shoo away a young boy, I think Marcel, and Uncle klaus take the young boy.
Hayley crouched down to my level, saying" What thing, Peter?"
" Separating himself, for the better good of his loved ones."
" How do you know that?"
" He's done it before, with Marcel, when Marcel was a young boy, Uncle Klaus was jealous, so he brought back Uncle Kol from dagger sleep and that started a whole mess. So... Uncle Lijah gave up his bond with Marcel so that they could live in peace again."
" How do you know that?"
" I don't know, maybe it was a dream. They had long hair, so it can't be real, right?"
" Yeah, totally." She sighed and scuffed up my hair, I giggled and held her hand." So, I'm guessing you have a lot of questions?"
" Nope, just want you to tuck me in."
" I can do that. But what if I get Klaus to do it?"
" I will never let you sleep again, and bug you till I die."
" Good to know." She kissed my head and smiled at me," Seriously? Never sleep again? You'd do me like that?"
" Yes, I would."
" Just for that, no more sugar for you."
" Hey! Sugar is to me like blood is to you!"
" You have to start drinking blood too, you little dork."
" Shh, I know but shh!"
" Okay, okay, I cannot nor will not ban sugar from you because you have the most adorable brown eyes." She pinched my cheeks, smiling,
" Hey!" She laughed and smiled at me, I grabbed her face with my hands and smushed her face,
" Hey!" I let her go and smiled, curious by all the new faces around me. She walked off, I looked to the door and saw the woman again, she was staring at me. Then I saw a woman walk by with flowers in a circle, I got curious, I followed her. She noticed but continued to walk, I followed her anyways, till she sat down and turned to me.
She said" Hi."
I said" What's that? Is it a ritual circle? It's sorta small to be that, though, they're kinda big."
" It's a flower crown, made from flowers and vines, you know."
" Is it a witch protection thing? Or a werewolf ritual?"
" No, no. It's just for fun, you do know what fun is, don't you?"
" Yeah, I know that, don't get to do it often though, Hi, I'm Peter."
" Hayley's child?"
" No, even though she's raising me now sorta, but I'm a Mikaelson."
" You don't seem like a Mikaelson to me."
I heard Uncle Klaus say" Peter, where have you wandered?" I sped off and to him, I smiled at him, he sighed as he saw me," Who was that woman eyeing you from outside?"
I said" I don't know, but she seems familiar... but like she's someone I know but with a different face."
" You're absolutely loosing your mind, aren't you?"
" I'm not! I swear!"
" Hmm, do as you say, but you are loosing your mind." I huffed then walked out, smiling at him before going to my room.
