E p i s o d e 9 P a r t 3

Aleksios P.O.V:

I decide to go home while Marcel and Nik is around the quater somewhere. Entering the compound I am met with a fummimg Hayley.

"What's up your ass? Not still pissed about Elijah are you?" I ask her with a smirk.

"Your twin sent all the vampires to go and kill the werewolves out in the bayou." She says enraged and I sigh.

"Dumbass." I mutter under my breath before looking at her. "Let me guess: he let them have field day to gain their trust about the baby's blood?" I ask her knowingly and she nods and doesn't look that much concerned as much as she's pissed at my brother.

I hear my brother enter the living room, or rather I smell his scent. That was fast. Looking at Hayley I see the hasn't yet.

"I'll have a talk with him, but you don't seen all that concerned. So I'm gonna go ahead and say that you roped my siblings into helping you." I say putting the puzzle pieces together. She opens her mouth to say something but I hold my hand up.

"I am a lot of things Hayley, but like you I'm far from stupid so do not lie to me. Rather just stay quiet." I tell her with a look and she nods and I hear my twin chuckling in the living room.

And I roll my eyes at him.

"He's in the living room." I tell her incase she didn't hear him. I hear Nik swear and I smirk.

She nods at me and begins walking in that direction while I chuckle to myself. He's about to get a lecture.

I decide to make myself something to eat. I am just finished cooking and eating my meal when I smell her.

"Did you know?" Her beautiful voice asks me.

"Know what?" I ask her confused when I turned to her and like every time, the air disappears from my lungs.

"That Agnes is dead?" She asks and I becoming more confused.

"Yes, but what does have to do with anything?" I ask her heavily confused.

"Because, if she's dead, then I'm safe." She says and walks away from me. My eyes widen as I realise what she thinking. I speed to her but I can't find her anywhere.

"Dammit Davina." I say frustrated and a little angry.

"What now?" My twin asks from besides me and I shake my head.

"I'll tell you later." I tell him because if I lied, he would know.

"Okay." He says nodding. "Come with me to the plantation?" He asks me and I nod. He probably put two and two together and figured out that it's Rebekah and Elijah who helped the wolves or he listened into Hayley and mine's conversation.

Davina's probably with Josh. He told me the earlier while I was cooking that he'd also look out for her because they've been friends since she freed him from my brother's compulsion. So she probably went to him. I hope. I am so pissed at her.

Nik and I speed to the plantation. We go to the parlor of the plantation house, and he sits down and starts playing. I sit down on the floor crossed legged next to the piano next to him.

"Are you going to give me lecture too?" He asks me after awhile and I sigh.

"I would've but I figured Hayley already did that." I say and he nods in conformation.

He continues playing as we wait for our siblings. After a moment, Rebekah walks into the room, but doesn't notice us right away.

"I stink of the bog!" She calls out to Elijah who, based on this heartbeat, is in the next room.

"Serves you right, for your pathetic attempt to undermine my rule." Nik says and I chuckle.

Elijah joins us when he hears Nik' voice.

"Nik, Lex, listen." Bekah says but he doesn't give her a chance to explain herself.

"When I order werewolves to be hunted to extinction, I expect you to stand aside and let the blood flow." Nik says I roll my eyes in sync with Elijah. Like I said he rolls his eyes, mostly at me but at our family as well and rarely at others.

"How delightfully democratic of you." He throws a ring to my twin, who looks at it and I get up to look as well and my breathing hitches. Impossible. "Do you recognize it? Perhaps you don't. Lex, I see you do. It has been a thousand years since you last saw it grace the hand of our mother. The ring was in possession of one of the very wolves whose extinction you just ordered. So, naturally, I questioned him. He spoke of a legend. A legend wherein long ago, a chief of theirs had fathered a set of twins to a very powerful witch. Their mythology further states that these twins, a son and a daughter, was later transformed into something this clan had never before seen. Something werewolf and vampire." He continues. Our pack.

"Nik, Lex, we're trying to make amends. We found remnants of your family. The bloodline of your true father. And we saved them from being slaughtered at the hands of the vampires you command." Rebekah says and hope sparks in me.

"Niklaus, your ambitions have come before this family for far too long. Niklaus, I beseech you please, come home." Elijah says and I scoff.

"We are home." I tell him sternly.

"What home? This pathetic substitute? You see, despite all your doubts, all you attempts to thwart me, I've reclaimed our true home. I took back the entire city." He says and I grin in pride.

"You have the audacity to boast of your victory when the mother of your child remains your prisoner?" Elijah retorts.

"Oh bloody hell. She's not a prisoner." I tell him and he looks at me in disbelief.

"It all comes down to the pretty little wolf, doesn't it, brother?" My blue eyed brother says.

"Hey Nik, you sound like a jealous husband." I say with a grin and I receive a glare from my male siblings.

"Stop it, all three of you!" Rebekah yells fruatrated with us.

Nik stands up behind the piano and say: "Even if this is what you say it is, I have had enough of family to last me a lifetime. Why would I possibly want any more?" Nik lies and leaves. I glance at my siblings and I see Elijah looks sad and defeated before I leaves.

I catch up with my twin and I nudge him in the side.

"Liar." I say once we're out of Elijah and Rebekah's hearing range and he smiles.

"I never could lie to you, could I?" He asks me, smiling.

"Nope." I say popping the 'p'.

"So how are you helping our long lost family?" I ask him with a smile.

"I'm asking father Kieran." He says confidently and I burst into a fit of laughter.

"Yeah good luck with that." I tell him with a grin.

"You do realise I'm not coming with you?" I ask him after awhile.

"I figured as much." He replies.

We say our goodbye's and I speed home while Nik speeds to St. Anne's.

"Put her on the phone. Now." I growl out to Josh who has just picked up his phone after I called them at least a hundered times.

"Who are you talking about?" He asks nervously, playing dumb.

"You're already on my brother's kill list, shall we make it mine too?" I ask him in a deadly tone.

"Okay. Here she is." He says quickly.

"Hello?" I hear her silky voice asks and I sigh in relief.

"You're okay." I say with a smile.

"Aleksios." She breaths out. Even over the phone the way she says my name gives me shivers. After the relief has passed the anger takes over.

"Are you insane, love? You could have gotten killed or worse. Attack by witches. Bloody hell, love. Do you have any idea how mad my brother is going to be when he finds out?" I rant in anger but most of all: worry.

What if she wasn't with Josh? What if something had happened to hear? I can't bear the tought, even if I did walk away. I may have only known her for a short amount of time but she made a big imprint on my life. She did what no other woman had manage to do in a thousand years: she makes me feel.

What brought me out of my out of my thoughts was her reply.

"You called me love." She says and I could have cursed myself. I was ranting and the words where slipping out.

Looks like my subconsious wants it too, I think with a sigh.

So here it is, the defining moment. Do I let her go once again or do I let it go further? Do I try and see where it goes? Do I let myself be happy or do I close up again?

Where is Elijah when you need him?

I've never been a believe of love and relationships. To me it's a night of pleasure and then I'm gone. Believe it or not, in all of my years I've never slept next to a woman for a night. I'm gone as soon as the sex is over. I don't even tell them my name most of the time and I don't talk. I don't let them in. Never wanted to.

However, for some reason I want more with her. This small witch girl with dark hair and beautiful eyes. I want a relationship and I want to talk. I want more. The question really is am I willing to risk it? My heart. Am I willing to put it out there with the risk that it could be shattered. Destroyed?

Thinking back on it, I've never been afraid of relationship. I'm afraid of the heartbreak. I've seen it with each and everyone of my siblings. The pain, the sadness, the dull look in their eyes. Am I ready to open myself to that posibility for the girl who makes my heart beats fast?

"I know." I say as I made my decision. We both stay quiet, waiting for the other to speak.

"I am at-" She starts after a while of silence but I cut her off.

"Don't. Don't tell me because I'll tell my brother if he asks." I tell her truthfully.

"Okay." She says softly.

"Ask Josh to buy you a phone and save this number. And if you need anything give me a call or text me. Doesn't matter what time it is." I order her sternly.

"I will." The brunette beauty replies.

"Give the phone to Josh." I tell her and the next second I hear his voice:

"Yes?" He asks me cautiously.

"Josh. Look after her, if there is so much as a hair out of place on that perfect little head of hers I'm coming for you first." I threaten seriously.

"I swear I'll protect her with my life." He tells me just as seriously.

"I'm trusting you with her. Someone I care alot about. I don't that. Don't disappoint me." I tell him in a gentler tone.

"I won't." He promises and I hear shuffeling.

"Hey." I hear her say.

"Hey. Look, I need to go but don't hesitate to call me, even if it's the middle of the night." I tell her as I hear my brothers talking downstairs.

"I promise, I will. Goodbye Aleksios." She says and I can tell she's smiling.

"Take care or yourself." I tell her and I'm about to hang up when I say that one little word, well two words but only one is important. So little yet so powerful. Just like her. So I say it and as I do, I realise that I can't go back after this. I also realise I don't want to.

So with a big goofy grin plastered on my face I say it:

"Goodbye, love."

***

There you go.

And their happy again, but now the Harvest chapter is coming up. I wrote it yesterday and I cried.

Also Episode 10 will only be one chapter but it will be a long one.

Anyhow, please vote and comment.
