The sounds of grunting and the smell of perspiration greeted me as I entered the old church. Punching bags, weights and other gym equipment littered the large space and right in the center was a boxing ring covered in metal for sparing.

"Quite a set up you have here little warrior" I spoke as my heels clattered against the floor.

"Mom? What are you doing here?" Marcel questioned coming towards me and pulling me into a hug.

"Well, you've been begging me for months to come and see this place so here I am".

"Little dressed up for the gym," he said looking at my attire.

I was currently wearing an orange and white over the knee, skater dress, with a large cut-out under the bust. I paired the dress with, white pumps and a white Chanel bag, my hair was left down in loose curls and I had a full face of make-up on.

"You're being here in the quarter for the first time in months, wouldn't have anything to do with a certain police officer your seeing?" he smirked.

Marcel along with Kat and Nadia were the only people who knew about Will and my relationship

"Will invited me for lunch, and I can't keep suggesting places to go outside the quarter without raising suspicion" I confessed.

"You know if you're walking around the quarter with your new man now, Klaus is going to find out," Marcellus said.

"I honestly don't care what he has to say, my dating life is none of his concern, Will's safety when Nik finds out is another matter" I sighed.

"You really care about this guy huh?" he laughed.

"Why wouldn't I?"

"I didn't mean anything by it, it's actually nice to see you in a healthy relationship. I'm happy for you Mom" he smiled.

"Anyway, I didn't come here to talk to my son about my relationship. Will was telling me about these murders in the quarter over lunch" I spoke, as I started reminiscing about my earlier conversation with the good detective.

"It's Like nothing I've ever seen before, this psycho hang's them up like puppets after he kills them strings and all, oh and cut's their mouth open like the joker!"

"How strange" I answered uneasily.

"Sorry Thyra not really lunch conversation" Will replied.

"It's fine I've heard worse" I lied to the handsome man was dating, the truth was I had done much worse in my time.

"Look, before you start me or my guys had nothing to do with those murders. Vincent was already here sniffing around and I told him he'd find better answers at the compound" Marcellus huffed angrily.

"I wasn't blaming you, I was wondering if you had heard anything since, you're not only head of the vampires but have links to the witches, besides these murders aren't your style and also we don't lie to each other anymore".

It was true, Marcellus and I had an amazing mother/son relationship now, we didn't lie we were open and honest with one another. We had dinner at my house together at least once a week making up for lost time, he had slowly forgiven me for things I had done in the past. Most importantly he trusted me again.

"Honestly I have no idea what's going on with these murders and I barely see Davina these days" he sighed.

Davina was like a daughter to Marcellus and I knew how much not seeing her hurt him.

"She'll come around Marcellus, right now she's just trying to find her footing as regent and I doubt those witches are making it easy for her. She's strong and fiercely independent so, instead of trying to insert yourself into her affairs, just simply stay in the background and be there when she needs you" I advised.

"Your right".

"I'm always right" I smirked making him scoff.

"Well, I better go because I really don't want to see any of them, it would put a dampener on my fabulous mood," I said referring to the Mikaelsons.

"We're still on for dinner tomorrow?" he questioned.

"Of course, little warrior wouldn't miss it for the world" I smiled, hiking my bag up on my shoulder.

I kissed his cheek before I slowly walked towards the exit, I stopped taking one last look around the gym, to think I gave birth in this place.

"This really is amazing Marcellus, I'm proud of you" I called, making him grin.

I exited the building and walked down the quarter toward Esplanade Avenue, where I had parked my car.

I couldn't lie I missed the quarter, with the smell of booze and gumbo and the never-ending party. I missed the busy streets and tiny boutiques, I had stayed away for too long. Just because I was no longer living within the quarter didn't mean I had to stay away from it, screw it if I was living in New Orleans, I was going to enjoy it.

"Well, well, well Thyra Mikealson aren't you a sight for sore eye's" a familiar voice called from my left.

I turned, doing a double take not believing my eyes.

"Lucian?" I questioned with wide eyes, what the hell was he doing here.

He walked towards me holding his arms out, I hugged him reluctantly trying to figure out what he was doing her.

"I can tell by your expression Nik or Elijah didn't tell you I was in town" he smirked.

"I don't see much of Nik or Elijah these day's" I informed him.

"Yes, Nik mentioned you were having a little quarrel" he laughed.

"Quarrel! Nik and I are divorced, I renounced the Mikealson name I go by Petrova now" I smiled tightly.

I was fuming Nik let Lucian believe we were still a together, he was seriously delusional.

"Well, this calls for a drink I think" he replied uneasily.

A half an hour later here I was sitting with a blast from the past, sipping whiskey in one of the many bars in the quarter.

"Elijah killed your sister? I always knew he was wound too tight" he laughed.

Usually, I would have never told the likes of Lucian anything about my life, but I wanted him and every other old friend that I no longer had anything to do with the Mikaelsons. Lucian had always loved to gossip, therefore, I knew this news would spread like wildfire.

We had met Lucian back in the tenth century, along with the de Martel's they had been the first humans we turned, Nik turned Lucian who was a servant that helped Finn, Elijah, Nik, Kol, Rebekah and pose as nobles in Lord de Martel's court.

This had been when we were first on the run from Mikael, we all bonded with Lucian and the de Martel siblings, but once again had to flee when Mikael eventually found us.

Bekah turned Aurora De-Martel, I turned Aurora's sister Edith and Elijah turned their brother Tristian.

Back when I was on the run from Nik in the nineteen-fifties Tristian and Edith helped keep me hidden durning the end of the nineteen century, but I hadn't seen Tristian since nineteen-ninety-seven, just before the new millennia. Edith had helped me out during my time in Mystic Falls and helped me bring Kat back from the dead, but I hadn't heard from her since before I was pregnant.

Another half an hour later, Lucian was telling me about the sire lines being at war.

"I barely turned anyone, less than twelve people actually. Edith, Lexi who sadly isn't with us anymore, two more perished, and Katherina my niece who's basically living with me, the rest are scattered. Therefore, I don't see how my few could be at war" I spoke.

"Well your few turned more than you did, but your right your sire line is the smallest. Most of them have joined Nik's line, they call themselves Nyra. Nik, Thyra equals Nyra get it?" he laughed.

"Cute" I scoffed unimpressed.

"Anyway, if you weren't told about my arrival then you don't know about the prophecy".

"What prophecy Lucian?"

***

Seven months ago, I swore I'd never step foot in this godforsaken place yet, one conversation with Lucian and I was storming the gates, but It looked like I wasn't the only one pissed off.

My presence in the compound went unnoticed as everyone was watching, Arielle fight Nik.

Freya was busy keeping Jackson from the fight with her magic, Elijah stood on watching as Arielle shouted abuse at Nik while kicking and pushing him.

It had been months since I lay eyes on either Mikealson brother. I didn't know what I would feel once I saw them again, anger, pain, longing? Yet here I was and I felt nothing but annoyance at the fact that I had to be here.

"My people are dead and it's all your fault!" Arielle shouted.

"Watch yourself, love, I made you and I will end you" Nik spat.

Arielle hit and pushed him screaming like a wild animal, I thought Dahlia cursed the pack should she and Jackson not be wolves right now?

"Fight back!" she screeched.

I had enough my daughter was in this compound somewhere, properly down for her afternoon nap and I didn't want this violence around her.

"Enough!" I shouted making my presence known.

"Thyra" Elijah whispered in shock.

"Angel" Nik muttered at the same time, meanwhile Freya couldn't believe I was here either as she looked at me in surprise.

"I don't care what Niklaus has done to you, my daughter is under this roof and I will not have her witness to this" I spoke clearly and calmly.

"Little ... Thyra, what are you doing here?" Elijah questioned, while Nik just stared at me like an idiot.

"We all need to have a chat about Lucian and this little prophecy" I spoke trying my best to remain civil.

Forty minutes and I was still waiting for them to clean up the mess Niklaus made with the wolves. I had gone to see Eden who was still sleeping peacefully despite everything happening around her, I kissed her softly and tucked her in knowing I would see her later, I then went and waited in one of the living areas in the lower level of the compound.

Once here I stood staring at the painting's Nik had done centuries ago.

One of Kol, Elijah, Bekah, Klaus and the last one of Marcellus and I together, he was only about fourteen all the portraits were side by side, it irked me that I was still on the wall.

"I'm glad you're here" Freya spoke entering the double doors with a few miscellaneous witchy items.

"I'm not staying any longer than I have to" I replied.

"Still it's nice" she smiled.

"What are you doing?"

"A spell to see if there is any truth to this prophecy" she sighed organizing all her things as Nik and Elijah entered both looking at me strangely.

Kat also following in surprising me she must have only arrived.

"This is preposterous, Lucian is lying" Nik spoke.

"Let her work Niklaus" I snapped in annoyance.

"Something wrong angel?"

"One, do not call me that. Two, I should have been told about Lucian and the prophecy".

"You gave strict orders Angel not to contact you unless it was about Eden" he smirked, I knew he was trying to get under my skin like he always did.

"Don't be petty, a simple text like hey guess who's in town, remember Lucian? instead of making me look like a fool when he ambushed me in the street" I snapped.

"Bickering, just like old times" Kat jested making me glare at her.

"How was I to know you would be in the quarter when you haven't stepped foot here in months and ...." Nik left his sentence hanging as I closed my eyes and took deep breaths while counting to twenty.

"What the bloody hell is she doing?" Nik asked.

"Oh, Thyra doesn't do angry anymore, instead she takes deep breaths and counts until she's calm, she's zen now" Kat commentated.

I opened my eyes taking one last deep breath, everyone except Kat looked at me like I was crazy, obviously, they were used to the angry, I'll-blow-up if you look at me wrong Thyra.

"Next time Niklaus please inform me if anything like this happens again" I spoke coolly.

Not knowing what to do my ex-husband simply nodded, then looked at Elijah in bewilderment.

"I need your blood" Freya spoke handing Nik a bowl.

"If you fed on this prophetic witch, her blood is still in your system. If there's a weapon that can kill you, we need to know" she continued, Nik handed her back the bowl after spilling his blood into it, then she started.

"No mentre le prophecie que la otra ve. No mentre le prophecie que la otra ve. No mentre le prophecie que la otra ve. No mentre le prophecie que la otra ve" Freya chanted, I watched her weaken and I started to worry, blood pooled from her ears but she didn't stop.

"Freya?" I questioned.

"Stop! Freya? Stop!" Elijah called coming to his sisters' side, just as she let out an almighty gasp.

"It's true. You have a terrible shadow over you. Rebekah, too. If this prophecy is fulfilled, you will all fall. One by friend, one by foe, and one... By family" she spoke coming out of her trance, looking at her brothers with unshed tears.

"And me? How does this involve me?" I questioned, Freya turned and stared at me a shiver ran down my spine.

"You will have to make the ultimate sacrifice. A choice but no matter what you choose, you will lose everything" she whispered.

"This isn't happening, I have sacrificed enough I will not give any more of myself for this family. I told you all I was done with Mikaelsons and the drama and I meant it. I refuse to be dragged into another one of your messes" I sneered, Zen Thyra was gone straight out the window.

"Thyra" Elijah tried.

"No. I want nothing to do with this prophecy I won't be a part of it".

"Your part of it, Angel whether you like it or not" Nik butted in.

"Well then fix it before it comes true, and I told you to stop calling me that" I shouted, I was losing it, an hour around them and I was resorting to old behavior.

"Calm down T" Kat tried, coming up to me. I dodged her picking up my purse and walked away out the double doors and into the courtyard.

"Thyra wait! We need to work together" Freya called as they all followed me.

"No" I snapped glaring at the three Mikaelsons.

"Love this isn't something you can walk away from" Nik stated.

"And why can't I? Hmm? I'm not a Mikealson anymore remember?" I glared harshly.

"You'll always be a Mikealson, just like you'll always be mine angel" he smirked, coming close to me.

"I've moved..."

"Moved on, so you keep saying I don't believe you, angel, you love me and I love you always and forever" he whispered as the audience behind us looked on.

Then I laughed.

"If you really believe that then you are far more delusional than I thought. I told Lucian everything about us, it seems he was under the impression we were still together, soon everyone will know, which make this very real. Maybe then you'll finally realize this marriage is over and has been for months" I told him.

"Always so dramatic Thyra" he laughed in return, he was driving me insane.

Elijah must have sensed I was about to blow, as he told his brother to stop, his attempts were useless so finally I said the one thing that would get through his thick skull.

"I'm seeing someone Niklaus".

You could hear a pin drop, Freya and Elijah looked on in shock unable to believe the bombshell I had just dropped, while Kat looked like she needed popcorn. Then everyone waited for the big bad hybrid's reaction.

"Lies" he whispered stumbling back as if my words burned him.

"It's true, he's sweet, kind and good to me. We've been dating for a few weeks now" I confessed.

"You're saying this to hurt me" he denied shaking his head.

"I'm not it's the truth. He makes me happy" I whispered finally calming down.

The look on Nik's face was devastating, I wasn't heartless it did hurt me a little to see him this way, that is until he got angry.

"You've been playing happy families will my daughter" he raged.

"Oh, please he hasn't even met Eden. I would never replace you in her life, no matter my feelings towards you" I scoffed.

"Who is he?" he spat.

"You'll find out when I know you won't murder him" I replied.

"Thyra!"

"Don't worry about it Nik, you have a prophecy to stop" I replied before turning on my heel.

"I expect Eden home in time for dinner" I called walking through the gates, wanting nothing more than to go home.
