Devil of a Deal
.
I want to start by saying goodbye to The Originals you have lit up my screen and my had my mind lighting up with ideas for the last few years, I can't believe it's over I'm not going to lie I legit sobbed at the ending and before you say anything no I didn't like the ending it was final but not final at the same time, personally I thought The Vampire Diaries did a much better job, but instead of focusing on an ending I disliked I'm focusing on the amazing series it was, I'll miss the Mikaelsons my program schedule will never be the same nor will my life (dramatic much) #GOODBYETO its been one hell of a ride.
.
First, my hearing came, making me aware of my surroundings, I heard a sweet humming coming from somewhere in the room, it was haunting yet soothing.
My eye-lids twitched yet I was unable to open them, it felt like they were being held down by lead balloons, my body was stiff and heavy making me feel like I was made of stone.
I felt my lungs repair and I took a deep breath in as the stiffness began to fall away, which then drew attention to the dryness of my throat, what I wouldn't give for a pulsing vein right about now.
Why was I so hungry?
I finally gathered the strength to open my eyes only to confuse myself even more, I looked around from my horizontal position not recognizing where I was.
There was a grand chandelier above me, the walls from what I could see were a deep purple with intricate gold designs.
I grabbed the corners of my coffin and pulled myself into a sitting position, wait a minute coffin!
I hopped out of the silk bed of the casket furring my brow, gasping as it all came back to me.
Finn.
Elijah.
Tatia.
Eden.
And finally, the dagger my husband stuck through my heart.
"Niklaus" I hissed aloud.
I looked around the room for anything or anyone familiar, from the grand gold, gilded bed, and nineteenth-century French style furniture, and mini bar in the corner of the room I guessed I was in some four-star hotel somewhere.
"I'm going to kill them all" I ground out through gritted teeth, as I thought about my treacherous family.
How I didn't know yet, but first things first I had to figure out where I was, I walked to the curtained window but before I could pull the drapes someone spoke.
"Not just yet" an unfamiliar voice spoke, making me whirl around and face it.
"Who the hell are you" I demanded, looking at the strange woman.
"Why Dalilah of course" she replied smiling at me, yet her grin looked anything but friendly.
She was beautiful, in a dangerous sort of way, with her long raven colored hair, full lips, and eyes the shade of midnight.
Dahlia was long dead, wasn't she?
"Last time I checked you were just a scary story" I spoke watching her every move as she approached me.
"If my existence was just a mere tale how would I be able to release you?" she smirked holding up the silver dagger that had been lodged in my heart.
"A thank-you would be nice" she continued still smiling with that eerie grin.
"Well excuse my lack of gratitude you, after all, are Esther's sister" I glared.
"You have a hatred towards Esther that rivals only my own" she laughed in delight.
"Well, she did turn me against my will and tried to kill me a few times" I shrugged.
"She tried to kill your daughter too, Eden I believe".
My heart stopped as she mentioned my child by name, from the tale Finn spun Dahlia made a deal with Esther that every firstborn from her family's line would be hers, and that wasn't happening not with my child.
"Don't try and play stupid, I know your daughter is alive, your husband Niklaus brought her back to New Orleans weeks ago".
"I don't know what you're talking about, my child is dead" I replied refusing to walk into her trap, I wasn't born yesterday.
"Really" she scoffed turning behind her to the beautiful dark wood writing table and picking up a stack of photos, throwing them on the floor before me.
I kept my eyes on her as I bent down to pick them up, I gasped quickly flicking through them.
They looked like surveillance photos.
There were pictures of Katherina walking through the city with a stroller, Eden's happy face looking around the quarter. Others were of Nik standing on the balcony of the compound overlooking the city with Eden in his arms and Elijah by his side.
My eyes started to water as I realized how big she had gotten, and how happy and content Eden looked without me.
"How long have I been in a box" I hissed.
"A few months give or take" she shrugged.
I took a shuddering breath as I realized they had left me to rot every-single-one-of-them.
"You can't have my child" I snapped holding my head high.
"From the looks of things sweet girl, she isn't yours to give" she quipped making me flinch.
"Why did you, un-dagger me then? What do you want from me?" I snapped having enough of her games.
She walked carefully coming closer to me taking the last photo I had grasped in my hands into her own, it was a picture of Arielle and Jackson on their wedding day, with Nik, Elijah, Kat, Marcel and Eden by their sides.
"You see Thyra we both want what was promised to us, I the first born and you a chance to be a mother".
"Don't those two things clash" I snorted.
"They don't have to" she replied.
"What are you suggesting?" I questioned skeptically.
"A simple deal".
"Your last bargain with this family put a target on my child's back" I clapped back.
"But with this one, we can both benefit".
"Do tell?" I brazenly requested.
"I would allow you to raise your daughter ..."
"Allow me!"
"And in exchange, you will allow me to teach your daughter her true potential" she finished.
"And why would you offer little old me such a deal?".
"I see a lot of myself in you Thyra Petrova" she spoke using my maiden name.
"From the time you married Niklaus Mikealson, you have been used, broken, betrayed and walked all over by those who claim to love you" Dahlia spoke walking around me in circles, trying to intimidate me.
"You know nothing about me" I hissed.
"I know before you were daggered you were trying to give your daughter a better life and while you were desiccating in a coffin in the dungeons of your home, your husband and family went on as if you never existed" she laughed stopping in front of me.
"Your right it's all true, but that doesn't mean I'm willing to make a deal with the devil. Now tell me how in any way does this benefit you?"
"I'd like to try things a little different this time".
"This time" I wondered aloud.
"The first time I made this deal, I took what was promised to me".
"The firstborn, I heard she died of the plague, a lie I presume".
"Yes, that's what Esther told Mikael and her children. The truth is that I raised Freya as my own, but when I took her from Esther she was old enough to understand what had happened, I thought that girl everything she knows, I gave her power and immortality yet she despises me, I gave her everything but have received nothing but grief in return. It wasn't I who made a deal to give her away" she sneered.
"You talk of her in the present tense" I observed.
"Yes, Freya is still very much alive, she's here in the city plotting against me I believe".
I stored the information of yet another Mikealson walking around the quarter in my head for another day.
"So instead of you taking my child and her growing up to hate you, you want her mother there so Eden can what hate us both for enslaving her to you?" I laughed looking at the crazy woman before me.
"You will raise her, show her love give her everything she needs. I will merely be there to show her what it is to be a powerful witch".
"I still don't understand what you get from this" I sighed in annoyance.
"Eden and I will be bonded, when the time come" she stated simply.
"You mean you will be linked to my child, therefore, using her for her power" I spat in outrage.
"She will be able you use my power as much as I will use hers, and I will wait until she is sixteen when she is mature enough to link us together".
"And let me guess if I don't agree you'll make me" I summed up.
"Of course not you are free to go" she replied gesturing to the double doors on the other side of the room.
I looked at her for a moment before speed walking to the doors then just as I cracked the door open she spoke.
"Make no mistake Eden will be mine with or without you, though I would rather it be with you. Just take time to think of my deal, I mean what will your loving husband do when you step out of line again or parent your daughter in a way he doesn't like. Honestly, it's only a matter of time before one of them betrays you again, tell me are you really going back to a family that condones the murder of your sister, then again you still have a son, wait he hates you for killing a woman who undoubtedly was falling for your husband and he her".
She was right, I had become a walking joke, Nik was on the brink of an affair so I took care of it yet I was punished, Elijah had killed my sister and nobody batted an eye instead I was daggered for his crime.
Don't worry about betraying Thyra she'll forgive you, break her heart she has a box of superglue at her disposal it's okay, I bet that's what they all thought
Honestly no it wasn't okay, not anymore, and with that thought, I shut the door.
