Today we force our tears because we know the end is near. We force our tears because we know that this is our last. We know the costs our demons bring. Hayley is dead and Hope is a child again. But most of all Keelin and Freya somehow have a child. That is not what scares us, we are all afraid of death but as before the savage Mikaelsons must come together to defeat a creature of pure evil. But at what cost, the cost of our bond of family or the cost of Scarlet's life. We've shed our tears and now we are ready to tell our final tale of...

The Original Angel

~

"Elijah!!" The voice echoed throughout the Abattoir like a virus travelling through the air. The voice belonged to no other than the notorious Klaus Mikaelson. "What is it brother?" Elijah said running down to his brother's side. "Celeste took my blood" he replied.

"Why would she want your blood and how?" Elijah spoke softly as he responded. "She wants to compel one of us...she wants to compel an original" Esther butted in. "Why?" Klaus and Elijah said in unison. That's when Scarlet piped up "The prophecy" she said without fear. All faced Scarlet wanting to tell her she was wrong but none could, because she was right. It was the only possibility; the prophecy, no matter how twisted it's words were, explained everything.

Klaus stood quietly by his brother's side before turning to walk in Scarlet's direction. "A moment of your time please, Scarlet " Klaus spoke with a sense of class for once, but he spoke with a drop of hope. Scarlet nodded and was pulled aside by Klaus. "You have to leave" he started, Scarlet shook her head "I'm not running" Klaus huffed, agitated from Scarlet's response. "Fine it's your choice, your life or your love for Elijah" this time Scarlet huffed. "Don't ever ask me that Klaus, I will always choose Elijah. My family was taken from me and my memories removed years later, I lost the man I love and now Celeste can take away my life, she can kill me but she will never earn my respect. So you ask yourself, if you could live your last days with the woman you love would you choose to run for the rest of your days from the one person set on killing you?" Klaus was shocked, he only expected half of what Scarlet said. But he shook his head in response.

When faced with a decision it's our common curtsy to choose the easier option but between love and life there is no choice

As we come back to the room that they wondered from we see their lifeless faces as they stand in the exact places where they were left, when Klaus and Scarlet exited the room. But now they had returned with Klaus still trying to find a reasonable explanation of why when told she will die if she stays, Scarlet is determined to stay with the man she loves. But how couldn't she, love is a force more powerful than anything, as Elijah once said ' When you love someone and that person loves you in return you're uniquely vulnerable. They have a power to hurt you that's like nothing else. ' Each Mikaelson face wondered round the room in hope of a way to break the strangling silence. But words could not break open their closed mouths, thoughts that were thought never to see light were shining as bright as the sun as they came closer to the surface of their minds.

~
We see their love for each other but how far are they willing to go to defeat a person raised by pure evil. Celeste will kill her but death will tear them apart.
~

One by one the Mikaelson siblings took it upon themselves to tell their loved ones about their upcoming battle. Each in their own way, no matter how discrete, said their goodbyes. We saw a new side to each of the Mikaelsons, one you could only wish to explore.

We saw a new age setting like the sun, we saw a new era falling like feathers,
we saw a new world disappearing like dust.
Whatever the outcome,
this was the end of something new,
a city, a hope, a Queen.

We saw an end...

One we did not wish to reach...
~

A war we won,
A life we lost...

~Scarlet~

I told Nik and Rebekah to leave with Hope. Rebekah refused at first but Nik soon dragged her away. I felt her pain and soon knew why she didn't want to leave. Because she too knew that this would be the last time she would see me alive. Freya soon left after talking to Elijah and Elijah followed her out of the Abattoir. After awhile I picked up the phone and failed to reach Elijah. I knew he had his phone because he put it in his pocket before he left. I did not see him again after that not until after I saw her...

~Celeste~

The girl did not run, the girl did not hide.
But I'm coming for her no matter what, she cannot survive.
But I guess I have one trick up my sleeve.
An Ace or a Jack or maybe a Queen,
If I play my cards right I will win...

~Third person~

Scarlet waited for her end. She sat knowingly on a chair in the courtyard, right in front of the entrance. If by magic a figure appeared, the figure belonged to no other than Celeste "Now I must say, this makes for a great ending right here!" Celeste inched closer and closer to Scarlet until they were but meters apart.

"Why?" Scarlet asked, Celeste smirked "But dear I have no choice in the matter it's what nature wants". Scarlet took in one deep breath "So go on then." "Oh my I'm not going to kill you-" as she stopped Elijah stepped from the shadowed corner. "He is!" With that Celeste stepped back into the darkness and Elijah started edging toward Scarlet. Running had seemed like a bad idea until now. Scarlet was afraid, her worst nightmare had come true.

Prophecies never lie,
Scarlet will die.

As Scarlet's final breath came closer and closer, she finally realised that it was Elijah coming towards her it was humanity-less Elijah. This would be new to anyone, Elijah had lost all hope before and gone on killing sprees but never to the point where he has turned he's humanity off. Scarlet was afraid of Elijah, she's never been afraid of him and it wasn't really him she was afraid of. She was afraid she would lose him if she doesn't find a way to turn it on again.

She knew but it would mean that Celeste gets what she wants. Elijah would have to attack Scarlet. But there's a risk to being attacked, she could die. Scarlet was knocked out of thought as she fell to the floor. Elijah was within reaching distance. "Please Elijah look at me, you don't want to do this, Please!" Elijah look right into Scarlet's eyes and his eyes were so dark and full of hate. His heavy breathing made Scarlet edge further and further away.

Scarlet saw flashes of her past, time when she was young. The very first flash she saw was from back when she was seven.

~Scarlet's POV~
Elijah was teaching me how to play piano until Father Kieran and Marcel walked into the modern apartment. It had been one year since my parents died, one year since Hayley was sent away. Elijah had feared that day ever since the fire. Without a knock or a warning Marcel ran straight up to me and took me away. I remember feeling so scared and I remember fearing that I would never see Elijah again. I remember seeing Elijah's face as he tried so hard to get me back. I remember Elijah crying, crying as if he would never get me back.

~Third Person~
Scarlet snapped out of her flash as the back of the head hit the wall as she came to the end of the room. Elijah stood towering above her. He was different there was no hope in his eyes, he had truly lost his humanity. Those same dark eyes as before her flash, would haunt her thoughts.

"Please don't do this, I don't want to lose you again," A small river ran down Scarlet's face. Almost as if it was set in time, a dagger was revealed as sparks of light reflected in every direction.

As soon as she saw it, it was no longer there. But what remained was the pain of the dagger's end and the tears of a thousand stars along with a man of a lost hope.

Elijah was back and like passing ships, Scarlet was leaving, dying, saying goodbye. Elijah's eyes were no longer full of hate and anger, they were filled with the hope of a thousand moons and sadness as endless as time, as the woman he loved was dying in his arms. Tears of a thousand stars and the hope of a thousand moons could not save Scarlet from her deadly fate.

But in her last words she spoke,
To Elijah with heart and soul.

As her last breath drew near Scarlet's eyes saddened by the second, and Elijah could not help but fear her life was near its end. With a few deep breaths she said

"Hello again stranger,

In all the years I've known you...and forgotten you, I never once thought we would be here...together in my final moments...I guess all good stories come to an end."
Scarlet paused as a wave of excruciating pain washed through her body and she clutched her stomach where the dagger had left an overflowing river of blood endlessly pouring from her body.
"Don't say that, please don't say that, this is my fault. I love you Scarlet, our story will never end this is simply the end of a chapter of our lives, please don't leave me!"
Elijah said as he wiped years of memories from his eyes. Elijah bit his wrist and Scarlet took the Original's blood but they must have known that there was no was to escape the prophecy.
"I could never leave you, my love, I will always be with you no matter where I maybe I will always be in your heart. So you can carry me with you. This...will never be your...fault and I need you to remember that...This is my fault... I could have left this all behind and ran...away. Don't blame yourself...Don't blame Celeste because...I need you...remember me happy...look after Hope...look after yourself...and promise me you will never abandon your family..."
Scarlet said as her words were continuously broken by waves of pain. As soon she felt a pain worst than fear, she felt her heart slowly in her chest. She felt death pull her away.
"...ahhhh...I'm not ready to leave please don't make me leave...ahhh...I'm not ready to leave. I...Love...You...Eli-"
Scarlet was cut off by her heart failing to keep her alive and breathing along with the constant flow of blood coming out of the body. Elijah screamed in fury and pain and he was covered in his lover's blood.
