《Home | The Originals》Chapter 86: Dust

"Can someone please explain to me how the bloody hell Davina died?" I yelled out standing in the open area of the Compound with Klaus and Elijah.
"She went to confront Lucien and get some answers and he left her body at the St. James bar, drained of her blood." Elijah said.
Kol must be real heartbroken right now. First Cami and now her.
"Is there anyway to bring her back from the dead?" Kol asked me as he walks in the room.
"I can draw Davina's spirit to a circle. As long as she's there, the Ancestors won't be able to torment her. Once everything is safe here in the city and Lucien is dealt with I can easily bring her back to the land of the living. I would like to channel someone if I am gonna be able to stay conscious doing the spell." I said. I can more likely do the spell without having to channel someone but if I don't I will mostly likely kill myself.
"Take me. Put me down, for all I care, if it keeps her safe." Kol rushed out.
I shook my head him volunteering. "I can't use you. Just because I linked our bloodlust together doesn't mean I saved you from the ancestors. They still have their mark on you. So Klaus, Elijah, rock, paper, scissors."
Elijah took a step towards the table and the candles in front of me suddenly lit up in flames. "That can't be good." He said looking at me.
"The warning is working. One of the New Orleans witches is trying to meddle with one of you." I said. Light appeared behind us and we all turned around to see the portrait of Rebekah that is hanging on the wall go up in flames. "It's going after Rebekah."
"Lucien thought that killing Cami would have me charging into his lair on a suicide mission. When it didn't he set his sights on Rebekah. He's kicking hornets nests until we have no choice but to confront him." Klaus said as he worries about his sister now becoming an target.
"Presumably, he still believes she's at the bottom of the ocean." Elijah said.
"Well, Freya had cloaked all of us, but with the ancestors working for Lucien it may take a while, but if he wants to find Rebekah, he will." I said.
"I'll go get her." Nik said and was about to leave but I stopped him.

"It's not safe out there-"
"What, then? Are we to sit here and play cards until Lucien slides Rebekah's bitten corpse down the hall?" Klaus raised his voice then he continued to leave the Compound.
"Freya knows how to do the spell as well. I'm going to make sure Nik stays safe." I told the two brothers then whooshed out the Compound as well.
Nik was just about to open a white SUV but I put my hand on the door before he could. "Seriously?"
I snatched the keys out of his hands. "Listen, I understand your frustration and I know you want to protect Rebekah. But I want to protect Rebekah too so whether you argue with me or not I am still coming with you." I said shutting down whatever response he was going to give me.
Klaus snatched the keys back from me. "I'll drive." He said and he got into the driver seat and I speed walk to the passenger.

Freya called telling us that she found a way to kill Lucien but to do that she has to break the circle that is protecting her from the Ancestors.
"If we destroy Davina, we lose both Kol and Marcel. I won't have us all turning on each other. Keep looking brother." Nik said.
"Wait." I yelled stopping him from hanging up the phone. "I can kill Lucien. Or at least try to. Your aunt Dahlia and your mother pretty much past down their powers to mine before they died. I can take him down as long as I am not interrupted." I said.
Nik looked at with a face full of doubt so I nodded my head to let him know that I can do this. "Keep Freya from killing Davina. Nix found another way."
~~~
We found Rebekah and are currently driving back to the French Quarter. "So, when can we start planning our wedding?" I asked him.
Nik grabbed my hand and kissed the back of it. "Soon, love. Soon. When I don't feel like my family is safe and our enemies are long dead." He said.
I smile at him loving that he was serious about us. Before anything else can happen a car had crashed into us, flipping us off the road. My seatbelt broke off and I got flung out the window. I landed on a wooden fence and a pole went through my heart killing me temporarily.

Klaus got out the car after waking up from the crash. He looked to his left to see Phoenix missing but looked out the window and saw her dead with a wooden post through her chest.
Klaus got out the car somewhat limping with blood trickling down the side of his face. Before he could remove the wood from Phoenix chest, Lucien sped right in front of him.
"Nik. I was hoping to run into you." Lucien said then gave him a punch to his face making Klaus fall back onto the car. "Oh, come now. It's no fun if it's easy. At least Cami went down swinging." Lucien said then looked over his shoulder to see the still unconscious Phoenix. He looked back towards Klaus. "And now I am one step away from taking your wife from you."
Klaus grabbed Lucien by his neck and slammed his head against the car then swung his elbow across his face. He went for a kick but Lucien grabbed him and tossed him towards the abandoned house.
~~~
I woke up disoriented. What the hell happened? I look to my left and say the car that was extremely damaged. I pull the wood out my body and walk inside the house knowing Klaus is there because I can hear him scream. I turn down a hallway and see Lucien holding Nik against a wall.
"Let him go." I demanded, making them both look at me.
Lucien smiles at me and threw Nik threw a wall. "Hello, love. Did you drink it yet?" He asked me.
I pulled out the vial he gave me. "This? I wanted you to watch me drink it and help me become an upgrade." I said with the most realest smile I can pull off. I just need him to believe me.
I drunk the vial completely while Klaus yelled at me to stop. I dropped it once it was finish. I looked at Lucien who is smiling brightly at. Then he whooshed to me and snapped my neck.
~~~
I woke up again. Rushed outside the house. Klaus and apparently Elijah were now fighting Lucien. I unconsciously kicked a piece of wood making all three men turn their heads my way.
"This just got even more fun. Nix, love. Why don't you give a little love bite to your now ex fiancé." Lucien said to me.
"She took the vial, Elijah." Klaus told his brother.
"You mean this vial?" I pulled out the real blood to turn into an upgrade making them all look at me surprise. "When you first kidnapped me and I escaped I had enough time to switch out the vials. So the one you saw me drink were just some mere human blood." I explained. Lucien face was so angry and just as he was about to speed at me I started chanting, making him freeze in place.
I was chanting loudly as I start to reverse the spell the ancestors did. Lucien screamed in agony and fell down to his knees. Once he was back to normal I stopped the spell. "His power's gone. He is like every other ordinary vampire now." I said as Lucien stood back up on his feet.
"You see, that family drama you so joyfully deride does have its merits." Nik said standing in front of Lucien. Elijah kicked Lucien at the joints of his leg making him go down in his knees again.
"You can kill me, but the prophecy still stands. You cannot outrun it." Lucien said.
"I've heard about a thousand years too much from you. For a century, you lived with my name and you never did quite recover from losing it, did you? You became a man of wealth and stature, but you never could crawl from my shadow." Klaus said as he squats down to Lucien's level. "And in the end. Despite the gift of immortality, you have always known, what you truly are." Nik looked over his shoulder at me. "Do you want to do the honors?" He asked.
I walked over to stand in front of Lucien who's eyes were starting to get glossy. "I loved you." He said to me, begging me to spare him.
"But I don't love you. I was going to give you a painless death but when you used my kid to kidnap me, all bets were off." I said to him. I chant a spell and one by one parts of his body start to break by themselves and once I couldn't break anymore they turn to dust. "Have fun in hell, Lucien." I said to him then he finally turned to dust and they blew away in the wind.
(I just Thanos snapped this fool)
