《Home | The Originals》Chapter 42: The Other Side
Advertisement
Me, Hayley, Klaus, and Elijah was walking down the street following the car that is carrying Father Kieran. Davina was at my place taking care of Angel.
Hayley starts coughing and Elijah looks at her. "You all right? You look—"
"A hundred months' pregnant and pissed off at the world?" Hayley said guessing that was what Elijah was going to say.
I rubbed my eyes because they were starting to bother me. "I was going to say, "you look lovely."" Elijah said with a smile and amusement in his eyes.
"Do you think I was the target of those bombings?" Hayley asks them.
"Of course you were the target. We're I to wage a war on the wolves, you'd be my first kill. I would string you up for all your worshipers to see." Nik said. I slapped his arm and he continues to smile psychotically.
"I believe that was my brother's way of telling you he'd like you to return home with us. Perhaps try a different approach, Niklaus, with fewer references to murder." Elijah said translating Nik's words.
"As much as I would hate to throw you over my shoulder and drag you kicking and screaming to the Compound, we both know I will for the sake of my child." Nik said,
"You could've asked her nicely." I said.
"One bad dream, and suddenly you want to be a responsible daddy." Hayley mocked.
Nik wraps an arm around Hayley's shoulders. "Let me put this in perspective. My father lived to torment me. It is not my intention to become him. This cycle of misery ends with my child."
Hayley hums at him then took his arm off her shoulder. "You forgot one thing in your attempt to plead your case. She's not your child. She's ours." Hayley said.
Hayley grabbed my free hand and made me let go of Nik's as she drags me away from the Mikaelson brothers. We walked all the way to the front of the walk. "Cami..." Hayley greeted as we walked in sync with her.
"Hayley, hi." Cami greeted.
"Hi. I know you don't know me. I just wanted to say that I-I'm sorry about your uncle. He was really good to people like me during the storm, and I really appreciated that." Hayley said to her.
I rubbed my eyes again as they start to bother me. "Thank you." Cami said before she looked at Hayley. "You want something, don't you?" She asked her.
"I'm sorry about the timing. I was just wondering if before he died, he said anything weird about Francesca Correa. I think that she may have been involved in an attack on the bayou. If you hear anything—" Hayley said then she gets cut off at the last sentence.

"Look, Hayley, I'm trying—mostly failing—to stay out of all this stuff, but she's a real bitch. So, yeah, if I hear anything, I'll let you know." Cami said.
I laugh at Cami calling someone a bitch but I didn't laugh for long because my eyes were still bothering me. "Thanks. Um, again, sorry about your uncle." Hayley said and we stopped walking beside her.
Hayley lift her hand to her mouth and starts to coughing a bit hard. "What's wrong?" I asked her and I forced myself to stop rubbing my eyes.
Hayley looks at me in fear and I give her an confused look. Why is she scared of me? She continued to cough hard when all of a sudden blood is spitting out of her mouth. I feel something falling down my face and I went to wipe it away when I stopped to look at my fingers. Blood.
More liquid is coming down and I wiped my face again only to get more blood. I was starting to get light headed and everyone around me was spinning.
Me and Hayley was leaning against a light post as we start to lose our balance thanks to us getting a bit dizzy.
I couldn't stay awake anymore and I start to fall. I felt someone land on top of me before I pass out.
~3rd person~
Elijah was caring an unconscious Hayley while Klaus is caring an unconscious Phoenix back to the Compound. The brothers lay them both on the table next to each other.
"I can help." Genevieve said as she tries to get close to the girls on the table.
"Don't you touch them." Elijah yelled at her putting his hand in front of Genevieve so she wouldn't come any closer.
"Let her be, Elijah. She was a nurse." Klaus said making Elijah drop his arm.
"There's a spell I can do. Klaus, get chamomile from the pantry." Genevieve said and Klaus quickly left the room to get it.
Genevieve and Elijah watch as Hayley and Phoenix move around a little. "They're trembling. Your jacket, Elijah." Genevieve asks and Elijah quickly took it off.
"They're not breathing." Elijah said and then listens for any heartbeat. "I can hear the baby's heartbeat, but not Hayley's or Phoenix."
~~~
Phoenix wakes up on a table with a gasp. She looks around to see she is in the Compound. She looks around until her eyes land on the back of a man who was standing above a bassinet.
Phoenix gets off the table and the man turns around to reveal himself as Daniel, Angel's father. He was holding Angel with one hand and a knife pointing at her with another. (I don't know if I named him and if I did I forgot it)

"Our daughter is so beautiful." Daniel said as he gazed down at her. Phoenix took cautious steps toward them. "I can't wait to meet her when I bring her over here." He said.
~~~
Klaus and Elijah stood impatiently as they watch Genevieve chant a spell to wake up Phoenix and Hayley. The two brothers bit into their wrist and try to give the girls their blood. Elijah giving his to Hayley and Klaus to Phoenix.
After a few second of them not drinking anything they pull away. "They're still not breathing. It's not working." Elijah said. He grabs a wooden chairs and slams it against a wall breaking it into small pieces.
Klaus rubs Phoenix face and tries to shake her awake. "Come back to me, please." He whispers and tries again to feed her his blood.
~~~
Daniel raises his hand that was holding the knife and went to plunge it into Angel, but Phoenix speeds over to them and slams Daniel into a wall making him drop her baby to the floor. She looks over her shoulder to see if her daughter was okay but she wasn't there anymore.
Phoenix looks confused before her face contorts with pain. She looks down her stomach to see the knife intended for her daughter was now plunged deep into her stomach.
Phoenix looks back up at Daniel to see he had a wicked smile on his face. "Do you have any idea how agonizing it is to watch that thing breathe?" He asked me as he yanks the knife out of Phoenix who then yells out in pain.
"You didn't even ask me if I wanted to be a father. You just laid everything on top of me." Daniel said angrily.
Phoenix starts crying to herself. "I can't be here. I'm not suppose to be dead. She needs me. My daughter needs me." Phoenix said.
Chanting was heard around the corner and a little girl walked towards them. She made Daniel fly across the compound before throwing him out completely. Phoenix looks down at the little girl before more tears ran down her face. "Rose."
~~~
Klaus and Elijah pace back an forth as no progress has been made. Hayley and Phoenix was still not breathing and it was putting the brothers on edge.
"I'm taking her to a real doctor." Elijah said and went to pick Hayley up bridal style.
"If you move them from here, my spell will break. There won't be enough time to get them to a hospital." Genevieve said stopping Elijah from making another move.
"Will the baby survive if delivered now? I'll rip it out of her myself." Klaus said and rushed over to Hayley but Elijah holds him back.
"Hayley will bleed to death." Genevieve said.
Klaus looks at Elijah. "I won't lose that baby. I won't lose either of them." Klaus said.
Genevieve continue to chant before looking up with a idea in her head. "I know what to do. Get my bag—the gris-gris pouch. Now!" She demanded.
~~~
"I miss you mommy." Rose said as Phoenix hugs her tightly.
"I missed you to. So much." Phoenix said into her ear.
Rose pulls away and Phoenix looks at her confused. "But it is time for you to move on from me. And if you can forgive Rebekah. She is a sweet girl." Rose said.
Phoenix shakes her head. "I can't do that." She said.
"Yes, you can. I'll always be in here," Rose puts her finger on Phoenix chest, directly above her heart, "with you everyday, 24/7."
Phoenix starts to cry again before she nodded her head. Before anything else could happen a knife came through the back of Rose. Phoenix stares behind her to look at Daniel.
Rose skin start to light up before Phoenix covers her eyes to shield herself. When she looks back Rose is no longer there and she hears someone whisper the word "peace" in her head.
Phoenix looks back at Daniel who smiles evilly at her. Daniel went to attack her but he was stopped mid step and held onto his head in pain.
Phoenix was chanting extremely loud as she watches Daniel bend down on both knees. Cuts were starting to form all around him as his blood was leaking out, pooling at the floor.
Daniel was screaming in pain as a body part was randomly cut off. This continues on before Phoenix finally decides to kill him by ripping his head off.
~Phoenix POV~
I woke up with a gasp and sat up with a fright. I quickly look around me and see broken wood on the floor. I sped over to it and grab a piece. I immediately turn around and went to stab the person next to me but they quickly grabbed my hand.
I looked at them to see Nik standing in front of me holding onto my arm that was about to stab him. I drop the wood and start building tears in my eyes.
"I saw him. He tried to kill Angel. Then he tried to kill me. Daniel tried to kill me." I said in shock.
Nik cautiously brings me into a hug as I stare at the table I was once on, looking at Hayley who was being taken cared of by Elijah. "You're all right, love. You're all right." Nik said into my ear and rubbed my back comfortingly.
