Family first

"KATNISS!" Alex shouted from where she stood outside a two story house. It looked like one of this beautiful white house's from the movies. "Katniss! If you don't open this bloody door, your head will be sho—" she was cut off as the door opened and there stood a 5'6 brown eyes with piercing blue eyes that looked into her soul. "Thank god, you bloody arse. I thought I was gonna have to storm the whole fucking town for you."

"What do you want, Alexandria?" She crossed her arms, leaning on the doorway with a hard look in her eyes.

Alex paused. The last time the blonde saw her, she was a sixteen year old with flowers in her hair and never left her little sisters side. She frowned as she saw Prim no where to be seen.

"Where's Prim?" The original asked, dreading the answer.

She yelped out as pain shot through her head. She gripped her head with both of my hands before she was lifted off the ground, her feet barely touching the porch. She let out a strangled cry as her brain exploding over and over again before she was thrown into the house, her head hitting the floor so hard that she heard it crack.

The exploding feeling went away, allowing her head to heal from being cracked open. She forcibly opened her eyes to stare up at Katniss who was glaring down at her, unleashed tears in her eyes.

"Prim is gone," her voice was rough and bitter, but Alex could hear the pain and sadness behind it.

The blonde shakily stood to her feet and brought the nineteen year old witch into her arms, holding her close as she started sobbing.

Alex lightly pulled back and grabbed her face in her hands. "What happened? What happened to my little rose?" She was close to tears. Prim was ten the last time she last saw her, and the blonde thought of her as a daughter. "Katniss, wha—"

"I was kidnapped," Katniss choked out, fully pulling away from the original, wiping away her tears. It didn't help seeing as more tears skidded down her cheeks. "They put this chemical in me... It took away my powers for a couple of hours. I was helpless. They sent me through these trials with these other witches who had also gotten their powers taken away. We had to survive the trials. To do that, we had to kill. Kill all the others."

She broke out in a sob, covering her mouth. "I killed people, Alex." The blonde went to touch her, but she shoved her hand away. "They sent me to another trial and I denied. I didn't want to kill anymore so they retaliated by kidnapping Prim, and killed her right in front of me. She was eleven. Eleven fucking years old!"

"Oh... Katniss," Alex whispered in despair before pulling her into her arms. "Hey. Hey. Shh. Shh. It's okay." She cooed, trying to calm her down. "I'll find these assholes and they'll pay for—"

"Don't." alex pulled away in shock, confused by her words. "I already killed them all and burned down their buildings." She swallowed thickly, wiped away her tears, and then stood tall. "You came here for a reason. Tell me."

Alex sighed and shook her head, "You've been through enough, I don't want to drag you into my problems."

"No." Katniss shook her head. "You only come when you absolutely need to. The last time you needed me was to help take down Mikael. It had to be important for you to track me down to my new house which I had only just bought two weeks ago." She placed her hand on Alex's cheek which made the blonde sigh in content before she became serious. "Now tell me."

"Okay." Alex ran a hand through her much shorter hair. "Okay, so..." She cleared her throat. "I had just found out — well, I didn't really find out, I guess I pushed the memories to the far back of my brain, but I have a older sister. Kol's twin, Malia. We had all thought she was killed by the same werewolves that had killed Henrik, but she's back in the town I live in now. She's perfectly fine — a Werecoyete — but fine. She's definitely not a vampire. But that's the thing, she's not immortal, so how is she alive?" She was pacing now. "So that leads me to why I'm here."

"You're here to summon Esther's spirit."

Alex bit her lip and nodded. "Yes."

"I can do it." She nodded at the blonde. "And I'm pretty sure I have the stiff we need just for a summoning ritual." Alex gave her a look, knowing why she most likely had the ingredients. "I know." She saw the blondes look and gazed down at the floor, almost in tears. "I just wanted to see her." Alex placed her hand on her shoulder and gave it a light squeeze. "But your problem is worse than me wanting to see my dead sister, so..."

"I'm sorry, Kat, I really am," She apologized, knowing that she always ruin whatever she has planed, but she's the only witch the original knew and trusted.

"Yeah, whatever, let's just get this done and over with so I can go wallow in my self pity."

Alex frowned at her words as she walked away and stayed in place, thinking about what her mother could possibly say that would make this situation any better. The more she thought about it... nothing she could say would make the blonde forgive her for whatever she and Mikael had did to Malia.

"Okay. I'm ready," Katniss interrupted her thoughts as she barged into the room, carrying a basket of herbs and other witchy stuff that Alex couldn't give two shits about. She leaned up against the wall as Katniss set candles around the room, filled a bowl with herbs, and mixed them. "I need your blood, Alex."

Without even hesitating, Alex walked over to her, held out her hand, and she sliced her palm with a rather large knife. The blonde didn't even flinch before the cut healed up in less than a second. She took a step back and crossed her arms, tilting her head as Katniss started chanting.

The flames on the candles flew up and whispering from the ancestors were heard before a loud popping noise was heard.

Alex groaned and closed her eyes.

"Alexandria."

Her eyes flashed open upon hearing the familiar voice of her mother. "Mother," She acknowledged, standing taller, making sure to not show any weaknesses.

"I know why you're here." Esther tried to step back, but was stopped by an invisible wall. lex turned to Katniss who backed up to where she was against the wall, a smug look on her face. She sent her a grateful smile before facing her mother again. "Boundary spell." She turned to Katniss who sent her a sarcastic wave.

"Just tell me what I want to know so I can get back to my friends before anything bad happens," Alex demanded, crossing her arms, staring into her eyes.

"Alexan—" the blonde glared at her mother harshly which made her shut up. "Okay, fine. I'll tell you everything you want to know seeing as I can't do anything else while I'm stuck on the other side, just watching you play house."

Alex's glare hardened even more. "Just tell me what I fucking want to know!" She exclaimed, already tired of her voice.

"Malia Elizabeth Mikaelson. My angel." Esther sighed, entwining her fingers. "She was our favorite child. She was the kindest out of all of you. Even though she was Kol's twin, they couldn't be more different."

Alex let out an annoyed breath, trying to not seem fazed but really, she was sad at realization that she was also nothing to her mother.

"When Henrik died and we couldn't bring him back, we had to do something to save all of you. I searched through my grimoires for any sort of protection. One night, I had come across a teleportation spell. It sent an individual into the future. The thing is... It was only for one person. Mikael and I chose Malia. But before we did, we couldn't of just left her human while the rest of you were vampires. So, we turned her into a WereCoyote, a rare creature, stronger than the average Werewolf. We then sent her into the future, made her younger, and wiped her memories."

"Why!?" Alex shouted, throwing up her hands. "You had no right!" Her voice cracked as she thought about what Malia had went through. "Do you have any idea what she had to go through? What she did? Do you have any idea on what our enemies could've done to her if they found out about her? And she wouldn't of known what to do because she doesn't know who the fuck she is! You had no right to take her away from her family. You had no right to take away her memories or turn back her age. She deserved to be with her family!"

"What? The family that is murders? Psychopaths? Monsters? Vermin?" She spat and that lit the match to the fire.

Alex let out a loud scream of anger before she bent down and threw the bowl of herbs at the wall. Esther flickered before disappearing.

The original blankly stared at the spot she was just in before turning around and storming towards the front door, ready to go home and tell Malia the God awful truth.

"Alex!" She ignored Katniss' voice but before she could fully reach the door, her arm was grabbed, and she was turned around to see a concerned Katniss. "What are you gonna do?"

"I'm gonna go tell my sister the truth. I don't care if she ends up angry at me or hates me or whatever, I just need to tell her the truth just in case Esther or Mikael comes back to manipulate her. I'm not saying that she is easily manipulated but anger and betrayal does stuff to you," Alex rambled before taking in a deep breath. "No matter what you or anyone says, I will tell her the truth. I will tell her everything." She turned around and stormed out of the house.

Malia was going to find out one way or another, it was better if it came from a family member.
