《Home | The Originals》Chapter 69: Prophecy
Advertisement
After leaving Lucien's place me and Nik are walking down the stairs of the Compound. We quickly stop seeing Freya is lip locked with a very tall human who was bending down to meet her level.
"Freya!" Klaus yelled out making the two pull apart. "It is about time you brought a gentleman to meet the family. I'm Freya's brother and this is my lovely wife Phoenix. And you are? No, don't tell me. Let me guess. Brad? Chad? Brody? Let's go with Brody. What are your intentions for my sister? Shall we discuss a dowry?" Klaus said as we walks around to stand on the other side of him. His hybrid eyes showed up just as quickly as they disappeared.
"Bro, what the..." Brody said as he cautiously took a small step away.
"Leave. Now." Nik said and the poor boy took the threat to heart and ran out the Compound.
This whole thing left me snickering to myself behind Freya. "He was drunk! No one will believe his story." Nik said trying to excuse his actions.
"Not three months ago you both utterly despised me. Now your playing protective brother." Freya said with an amused smile.
"I think Nik got hexed by a witch." I said as I wrap my arm around Freya's shoulder. "I got to go. I need to get more stuff for the kids." I said pulling away from Freya.
I gave Nik a kiss on his lip and left the Compound to run my errands.

I spent the whole night buying things for the kids and when I walked back into the Compound, Hayley was there with blood all over her and Jackson who was getting a hand cuffs off his wrist. What the hell happen while I was gone?

I stayed neared the entrance as no one has noticed me yet. "What happened? Is the curse broken?" Jackson asked Hayley who is now holding Hope on her hips. He pulled her into a hug and kissed her temple.
"I'll explained later. We're safe for now." Hayley said.
I look to my left and see Nik walking down the stairs. "Good for you. I'll have your bedroom made up." Klaus said to Hayley. He had a cut on the side of his face and dried blood that looks to be from his nose.
"The only way that I will stay under your roof is if I'm in a coffin." Hayley said pulling Hope into her chest more.
"If you think I will allow Hope out of my protection for a second."
"What you 'allow' doesn't matter, Klaus. Welcome to the 21st century custody battle. Moms win them now." Hayley said. She's not wrong.
Well, Hayley won't stay here for obvious reasons and Klaus won't let Hope leave without his watchful eye. "Here." I drawn everyone's attention as they stare at me. I pulled out a set of keys from my white leather jacket and tossed them to Hayley who catches them. "Those keys open up the door to my apartment that is across the street. It's spelled so that no one is allowed in without a invite from me and/or any resident that lives there." I explained.
Hayley looks at me and her expression changed into sadness. "Phoenix, I—"
"Hayley, I can very much understand your anger and your decision for moving out but it wasn't your decision to make to take something that is not rightfully yours. Nothing will ever change your lack of trust in my protection over the kids. I'm not angry at you anymore. Of course I made no effort in breaking your curse, but I'm not angry. Our friendship though might never go back to normal after what had happened months ago. I can't bring myself into forgiving your actions." I said cutting her off. Then I left to go change out of these clothes.

Freya called for me in the big room. A table sat in front of her with Viking writing on the table. I had to pour my blood into a bowl so she can do this spell to find any weapon that could kill us.
"If you fed on this prophecy witch, her blood is still in your system. If there's a weapon that can kill you, we need to know." Freya said as she lights the last candle up.
I set the half full bowl of my blood in front of her and she dipped her fingers into it. She closed her eyes and start to chant. Elijah walked around and stood on our side watching his sister chant. Blood was leaking out of Freya's ear and it was making me worried.
The table started to shake as she continues to chant louder. "Freya? Stop." Elijah said wanting to not hurt herself casting the spell.
Fire broke out the Viking words and Freya suddenly stops and stare at nothing in particular. "It's true. There is a terrible shadow over Klaus and Elijah. Rebekah, too. If this prophecy is fulfilled, you will all fall. One by friend, one by foe, and one by family."
