Esther's Offer
Elijah ran at Finn, getting knocked back instantly, Klaus followed, screaming at him but Finn gave them a migraine before Lola flung the witch into the wall.
"Keep your hands to yourself." She threatened.
Finn knocked her back, running out of the room.
Lizzie could have gone after him but she was more concerned about Hayley, she didn't wait a moment she called Hayley running down the street. She picked up in moments. "Where are you?" She demanded.
"With the witch..." Hayley started.
"That's not the witch. If I could take a guess, I'd say, Esther's in her body, tell me where you are, Hayley." She demanded again.
"Across the river, the same address, me and Elijah sent you earlier." She declared.
"I'm coming." Lizzie said, hanging up.
Lizzie muttered a teleporting spell to teleport away toward the herbal shop, creating a portal.
She couldn't let anything happens to Hayley.
"Hayley! You're not touching them, you'll have to kill me!" Lizzie exclaimed, pulling her away from Esther.
"That was never the plan. It's so lovely to finally meet you. "Esther replied.
"You just sat and had dinner with me. You had every opportunity to talk to me, why orchestrate this elaborate plan?" Lizzie snapped.
"Because darling, I needed you to pull you away from my sons. Tell me, do my sons ever acknowledge the good you bring into their lives? After all, it was you who gave them hope. The promise of children shows us all the possibilities of a future that could be. Children are meant to save us from the worst parts of who we are. A truth that makes my own circumstances all the more tragic, wouldn't you say?" Esther smiled.
"Shut up!"Lizzie snapped.
"We don't pity you, Esther." Hayley interjected.
"It's a terrible thing, for a mother to fail her children. As you well know." Esther said, looking back at Lizzie.
"I didn't fail them. You tried to kill them and as a result, my children, my innocent children, were murdered. You may not have wielded the blade Esther, but your actions caused it. I will never, negotiate with you."Lizzie snapped.
"Well, now I offer you freedom. The gift of a new body. Freedom from being a heretic. I have the ability to return to you all that you have lost, Elizabeth. To make it so that you could have a family of your own. More children of your own with your mate. Wouldn't that be nice?" Esther offered.
"Why would I want anything from you?" Lizzie scoffed.
"I assume you've had the misfortune of speaking to my mother?" Klaus declared, bursting through the doors. Esther picks up a handful of an unidentified powdery substance and throws it towards Klaus, creating a magical barrier to keep them from coming any closer to her.
"You hide behind your spells like a coward!" Klaus then insulted his mother.
"I did not come here to wage war!" Esther said as she picks up another handful of the substance and throws it sideways toward Elijah, who had just tried to run toward her from behind to catch her off-guard, preventing him from coming any closer as well.
"Everything you do is an act of war. If you touch them..." Elijah trailed.
"They are free to go." Esther declared.
Hayley and Lizzie didn't wait, as the group ran from the shop in seconds. The five kept running and running until they were at least fifteen blocks away.
"Are you okay? Did she do anything to you?" Lizzie asked Hayley.
"I'm fine. You got there in time but the offer she gave us, what are you going to do with it?" Hayley told her.
"She can fuck herself with her fucking offer. We don't want it. What she say. Hayley, I know you are tempted by her offer but you can't trust her." Lizzie said.
"I know." Hayley says, nodding.
Later, at the compound, Lizzie sat on the bed as Klaus walked in and asked "What did she say to you, Hayley?"
"She blamed you and Elijah for what happened to the babies and to me, and Hayley." Lizzie muttered.
"Well, I trust you're not thinking of taking her offer." Klaus said.
"Of course not. Who do you think me for? And I... I am starting of adjusting of being half vampire. And I kinda love it and love being with you. I wouldn't trade it for anything. Besides if I want any more children, I know spells could help." Lizzie said.
"That the woman I love." Klaus smirked as they kissed each other and vamp sped to the bed, taking off of each other clothes before starting to make out.
