Chp Two
The suited original walked into the compound ahead of the small pack, he wanted to make sure they wouldn't be attacked. "I trust there will be no reason to separate one's head from their shoulders once I bring our guests." Elijah's voice was loud enough for all in the compound to hear but he was looking directly at Marcel. The vampire in question nodded his head, "Stand down everyone. There will be no more fighting tonight."
Elijah turned back to the iron gate, "You can come in now." The surviving vampires of the compound watched as five teens walked into the courtyard. Isaac and Liam in the front, Stiles in the center, with the twins covering their backs. Diego, Marcel's left hand, hissed before he attacked. As the angry vampire was caught by Marcel he yelled, "They're wolves! They could kill us!"
The vampires watched as Isaac, Liam, and the twins half shifted in defense, while Stiles readied a handful of Mountain Ash. They knew they were walking into possible enemy territory, but saw no other option. The pack stood in defense until Marcel calmed Diego down, "They are not going to attack. They're different from the wolves we know." Diego looked hurt, almost betrayed, "How would you know?" Marcel grew impatient and irritated, "Look at them! This pack looks nothing like the wolves that attacked us last night. Now, I'm going to let go and we're going to calm down." Marcel loosened his grip on Diego, who then scoffed and took off.
"Warm welcoming," Stiles couldn't help but say. Isaac gave Stiles a 'now's not the time' look. Stiles just shrugs. Elijah approached the pack, "Gentlemen, follow me please." Elijah led them to the empty guest rooms on the opposite side of Hope's nursery. While they were all heading up to the rooms, Liam was listening for Hope. He felt a connection to the little one, they all did.
Liam heard Hope's parents talking to each other about those who are threatened by Hope's existence. When they entered the room, Liam was steered to the nearest seat as the rest listened to Elijah. They all knew he was listening to Hope. Elijah left the room after telling them about the available staff in the kitchen and to not leave the compound without an escort. They are in the middle of a war after all.
The pack looked around the room they were given. Two full sized beds on either side of the room with a pair of matching end tables with matching lamps. A small closet, dresser, and the antique armchair Liam was sitting in. Stiles turned to Liam with a questioning look. Liam shook his head and whispered, "They're planning on faking Hope's death and sending her away." Liam didn't like the idea of being separated from Hope. He whispered, "Did anybody else feel the pack bond with Hope?" The other four nod.
Liam looks at Stiles, "If Hope leaves, we should go with her." Isaac chimed in, "Protect her, and stay out of sight. Out of the war going on here." Aiden, who has been silent the whole time, "The hard part is convincing her alpha parents that have been listening in since the door shut to let us go with Hope." Stiles opens the door and is met with Klaus' hybrid eyes. Stiles opens the door wider for Klaus. Klaus spends a few moments looking over each of them before asking, "Where are you from? Why have you come? What do you want with my daughter?" Klaus' voice rose with each question. The pack didn't even flinch. They were used to the raised voices of Derek, Peter, and Scott.
Klaus took note of this, and was slightly impressed but hid it. The Original Hybrid was pacing, waiting impatiently for an answer. Stiles sighs, "We are from Beacon Hills, California. All of us were either running from Ghost Riders or fighting Nazi werewolves when we were dropped in the cemetery moments before the sacrifice. And we want nothing from Hope, but we would like to go with her when she goes into hiding. This war we were dropped in, isn't ours and we'd like to stay out of it."
"Stiles! Really?!" Ethan scolded him for blabbing. Stiles shrugged, "What? He asked. I'm not going to lie to him, when we really just want to help but also stay out of the crossfire of this supernatural war that doesn't pertain to us." While Stiles was rumbling Klaus was looking at his phone. The smirk on his face was dangerous, "There is no Beacon Hills in California."
The pack gathered around Klaus instantly, peering at his phone and saw he was telling the truth. Stiles swiped the phone from Klaus and started searching for relevant things to Beacon Hills; His father's obituary, Melissa's, or even Chris'. Nothing. Only thing that came up in that area was forestry. Klaus swiped his phone back and scrolled through what Stiles searched for, "Family?" Stiles just nodded as he slumped onto the bed, because he was numb.
Isaac cut through the tension, "It must have been the Nemeton. All of us were within a mile radius of that damn tree, it must've sent us here. The Nemeton was healing, finally before the Ghost Riders showed up. She reeked of magic, very strong magic." Stiles added, "And that's probably why we landed in the cemetery, it's saturated in magic."
Klaus just stood and listened amused. He still didn't trust them. His brother, Elijah came into the room, "Klaus, a moment?" Klaus turned to the pack, "Stay here. We're not done." As Klaus was leaving, Liam spoke up, "What about the kitchen?" Klaus glared at Elijah then turned back to Liam, "Fine. Kitchen, then back to your room." He turned away, mumbling under his breath, "I felt like I was scolding Henrik for sneaking food."
Klaus led Elijah to his art studio, "What is it brother? Can't you see I was trying to get to know our guests?" Elijah almost felt the need to roll his eyes, "Yes, I saw. Might I suggest you take their offer into consideration? Send Hope to a safe house with Rebekah, as well as their pack." Klaus wanted to dagger Elijah at that very moment, "You cannot be serious?!" Elijah pursed his lips, "I am. If they become a threat, Rebekah could handle them? This would give us the opportunity to end this war." The look Elijah saw on his little brother's face showed he was considering it, so he left Klaus alone to think while he painted.
Stiles smiled when the wolves recapped the conversation between the brothers to him. His smile turned into worry when Isaac and Liam bolted from the room, sprinting as fast as they could to Hope's nursery with the others trailing behind. Seeing a man standing in her nursery with a sinister smile, Liam lunged at him without a second thought. The man, Mikael, proved to be stronger and threw him against the wall of the nursery. The twins had merged and grabbed Mikael from behind, pinning his arms to his side, and squeezing as tight as they could.
Spotting the witch hovering behind Mikael, Stiles tossed Mountain Ash at her and pictured it surrounding her. She was casting a spell to break the twins bones so Mikael could get away. But the twins' healing ability kept them standing and holding on. Then her spell was cut off when she was trapped in a circle of ash. She looked to see who could have trapped her, and glared at Stiles.
While the fight had been going on, Isaac had picked up Hope and got out of the nursery, "Klaus!" The Originals plus Marcel flashed into the nursery. While Hayley has taken Hope from Isaac before disappearing to her room and locked herself in. She knew a locked door wouldn't stop many but it made her feel a little safer. Hayley looked down at her daughter and was met with wide blue eyes, "Hey baby girl." Hope started to make a sucking motion indicating that she was hungry. Hayley smiled as she adjusted her top, "You're timing is impeccable."
Isaac had returned to the area where the scuffle now is. Mikael had thrown the twins away from him, and lunged for Klaus with the White Oak stake he had. The Destroyer wanted to kill them all, and the witch who brought him back. He didn't care if he died again, as long as Klaus was dead. Klaus and the others saw this, so they concentrated on disarming Mikael.
It was Liam who was able to get the White Oak. He quickly ran up to MIkael, grabbed him by the forearm and yanked. Literally disarming Mikael. Liam tossed the White Oak to Klaus, who then staked his stepfather for the second time. As Mikael dropped to the floor, bursting in flames, Liam tossed the arm onto the blaze.
"No!" Davina screamed from where she was trapped. She could only watch as her secret weapon against Klaus turned to ash. Marcel stood in front of her, "Do you have any idea what you could've done?! If Mikael was able to kill Klaus, I would die along with him! Do you think Mikael would have stopped there?! Do you really want all of the Mikaelsons dead?!" Davina, still angry that her plan failed, "Yes!!" Marcel spoke a little quieter, "Even Hope? An innocent baby?" The stubborn teenager didn't answer, but she glared coldly at Marcel. The man shook his head, "I'm disappointed in you, Davina."
Marcel turned to Stiles, "Leave her in this trap until I come back." Stiles gave a nod, then reinforced the barrier. Davina wouldn't be able to get out, no matter how much magic she used. She'll tire herself out first. Stiles leaned against the doorframe of the nursery and listened to everyone talk downstairs. It seems this fight made Klaus' decision for him. They're going to leave with Hope to a safe house later that night.
When Marcel returned, Davina was cuffed with magic suppressing shackles and led to a confined room in the cellar. She tried pleading with Marcel, "Don't lock me away again." "It's for your own good. You targeted my sire, and by extension targeted me. I can't trust you, D," Marcel pushed her into the cell and locked the door, leaving the cuffs on. He spoke through the door, "Until you no longer feel the need to kill Klaus, you're not getting out." Davina screamed in frustrated rage, which shook the building as Marcel walked away.
It was around 1 in the morning when all of the pack plus Hope piled into Klaus' SUV after a tearful goodbye. The Hybrid had gotten ahold of his sister and explained everything. After they left, Marcel and Elijah set up the scene for the public. Marcel even found a stillborn baby in the next city over, so there was someone to bury.
At 3 am, the pack and Hope had reached the meeting point with Rebekah. It was planned this way, so Klaus wouldn't know Rebekah and Hope's location. Stiles and the wolves got out first, to introduce themselves to Rebekah so Klaus could have a few more moments with his daughter. "Hi, I'm Stiles. This is Liam, Isaac, and the twins Ethan and Aiden," Stiles pointed out each of them. Rebekah remained indifferent, "Rebekah. You lot seemed to have impressed my brother enough to trust you with helping protect Hope. Let's hope it wasn't a ruse." Stiles nodded, receiving the message loud and clear, "Understood."
They heard Klaus climb out of the SUV with Hope, so they all got into Rebekah's own SUV. Klaus had warned her about the added guests, so she switched out her sports car for something more accommodating. They pack got situated in the car with Stiles in the passenger seat, Isaac and Liam in the middle row, and the twins in the third row. The wolves tuned out the conversation between Klaus and his sister. It was a private moment. Soon, Rebekah opened the back door on Liam's side to put Hope in a newly bought car seat. Liam moved out of the way, while Hope was buckled in.
Rebekah thanked Liam then got into her seat, "Alright gents, it's a few hours to where we're going. So, buckle up and keep quiet." The wolves snickered knowing that it would be difficult for Stiles. The boy in question gave a sheepish smile, because he too knew he wouldn't be able to stay quiet.
Not even ten minutes into the long drive did Stiles start asking questions, "How long have you been a vampire? Who was the first to turn?..." Rebekah just gripped the steering wheel tighter and tighter with each question, wondering if it was too late to turn back and return the boy.
AN: Next chapter will have a time skip. And I killed off Mikael quickly.
