Freya
The next day, Lizzie stand with Klaus while Hayley and Jackson sat, discussing the pack's responsibilities.
Lizzie was wearing a sweater with a leather jacket, a jean and some boots.
"It's time to use our werewolf army. Finn and the woman who calls herself my sister are in this city. The wolves can help us pinpoint their location." Klaus instructed.
"No, we need all hands on deck here with Hope and Theo. Klaus, I think you can compel humans to track your enemies." Jackson says, shaking his head.
Klaus scowled at the two men "Do my ears deceive me? Or did you just give me an order? In my own home?"
" This ain't about your ego, Klaus! It's about what's best for those children."Jackson said, raising his voice.
" How dare you question my intentions for my children!" Klaus growled angrily.
"Klaus is right. Finn's body disappeared from the morgue, which means that he's either powerful enough to heal from that explosion, or Freya's powerful enough to save him."Lizzie said.
"She's right. Either way, we're not finding them unless we... send our best people out there."Hayley agreed.
Jackson sighed in frustration.
"I'm sure you and all your merry men will find them post haste." Klaus taunted.
"We'll give the order to the pack."Hayley told him.
Jackson says, glaring at Klaus "Don't think for one second that I take orders from you."
"I don't trust Hayley and Jackson." Lizzie says after Jackson and Hayley left.
"Welcome to the club. But like you said, Hayley is brainwashed. And we have to think about a possibility if she and her husband try to take the kids."Luke told them.
"Which is?"Klaus asked.
"That we'll have to kill them." Lizzie told them.
Later, Hayley walked into Lizzie's room where Lizzie had put Hope and Theo down to sleep, and knocks gently on the door frame. She was holding a plate in his hand.
"Shhh. I just got them down." Lizzie said.
Hayley smiled kneeling beside her "Thought you might be hungry."
"Grilled cheese, huh? Hell of a chef!"Lizzie grinned, glancing down at the food.
"Well, I'm very accomplished in the specific dish." Hayley chuckled.
Lizzie reached out with a free hand biting into the cheesy feast.
"You know, I can help you with Olivia and Lucas, right? If you want to take a break sometime, I'm good with kids. Helped babysit a lot growing up." Hayley offered.
"I missed six months of their lives. I don't mind. Thanks."Lizzie said.
Hayley nodded, walking away.
Klaus and Luke had arrived to the cemetery, which has become dark and foggy as the day has gone by. They were walking through the aisles of tombs when Klaus' phone buzzes in his pocket. When he pulls it out, he sees it's Elijah and ignores the call before pocketing it again.
"Finn!" Klaus shouted.
They continues walking through the cemetery to look for Finn.
"I know you're here! The wolves tell me you've been quite active robbing graves and violating corpses! Sounds like you." Klaus continued.
"Why don't you just come out so we can finish this?" Luke asked, looking around.
Finn suddenly appeared, standing at the end of the aisle behind Klaus and Derek.
"Hello, Niklaus, Luke." Finn greeted.
Finn starts to walk toward Klaus and Derek who does the same.
"Such a pedestrian greeting. How unfortunate those are to be your last words." Klaus told him.
"Your hubris truly knows no bounds! You attack a witch in the very place the Ancestors call home!" Finn scoffed.
He wags his finger at Klaus and clicks his tongue "Tsk, tsk, tsk."
"You're a fool if you think the Ancestors give a damn about you." Klaus told him.
Finn holds up his hands, saying "They may not care for me, brother, but they hate you."
Finn uses fire magic to shoot a humongous stream of flames toward Klaus and Luke. When the flames and smoke clear, however, Klaus had already vanished, having vamp-sped with Luke on the roof of one of the nearby crypts before they could be harmed.
"You lost a step, brother. But, them being blown to pieces will do that, I suppose."Klaus smirked.
Klaus lunges toward him, so Finn uses telekinesis to throw a piece of wrought-iron fence toward Klaus. The pikes of the fence embed themselves in Klaus' chest, but aside from some discomfort and a small amount of blood coming from Klaus' mouth, it does little to anything to hurt him; all Finn can do is use his power to keep the fence pinned in place so Klaus has to struggle to remove it.
"Finished so soon, my indestructible brother? Father was right about you! You're nothing but a pathetic disappointment!" Finn asked.
"You judge him? After everything that you did? You who murdered Kol!" Luke scoffed.
Finn looks slightly bothered by this reminder.
"But, you didn't stop there, did you? No, there's an encore... you sought the death of innocent children. My children!" Klaus said as he finally manages to overcome Finn's telekinesis, despite his best efforts, and pulls the fence out of his chest. He then breaks off one of the pikes to use as a weapon.
Klaus throws the pike at Finn, and it lodges itself in his abdomen. Finn groans in pain, and Klaus vamp-speeds over to him and twists the pike in his stomach, pinning him against the wall of one of the tombs.
"For what you would have done to Hope and Theo, we're going to enjoy making you suffer.." Klaus said as he pushes the pike up so that it causes even more internal damage, but he's choking Finn so hard he can barely even moan from pain.
Klaus yanks out the pike from Finn's abdomen, and Finn falls weakly to the ground. Klaus holds up the pike and is about to stab him with it again when Elijah finally arrives and pulls Klaus off of him and shoves him into the tomb behind him.
"You didn't answer my call." Elijah said.
"Well, we were a little bit busy as you can see."Luke told him.
Elijah looks over at Finn, who is bleeding out on the ground a couple feet away before he said "I need him alive."
"I've no time for your soft-hearted sympathies." Klaus told him.
He tugs his arm out of Elijah's grasp, but Elijah plants himself between Klaus and Finn so he can't go after him.
"Stand aside." Klaus growled.
Elijah refuses to move, and Klaus, and Luke gapes at him in disbelief.
They were bickering while Finn lays bleeding on the ground, coughing and sputtering up more blood as time goes on.
"Let him die, Elijah!" Luke groaned.
"The witches want that body returned unharmed." Elijah explained.
"And what else do they want? A parade?" Klaus scoffed.
"Free broomsticks for all?" Luke added.
"This alliance could be greatly beneficial to us all..." Elijah trailed.
" Yes, well currying some witch's favor does not concern us!" Luke interrupted.
Suddenly, Freya appears next to them. Luke thought she was so beautiful, he never saw a woman so beautiful as her. Luke then realised that he just got a crush on that girl.
"It should."Freya said.
She stopped when she's joined them, and she smiles "Witch allies can prove valuable."
She walks over to where Finn is laying as Elijah and Klaus gape in confusion.
"Freya. Freya. Help me."Finn pleaded.
"Don't worry, brother. I won't let them hurt you." Freya assured, kneeling next to him.
She uses her fingers to lift the blue pendant on her talisman toward him as she starts to cast a spell.
"Yovara vimuna virael." She chanted.
As she chanted, her pendant starts to glow bright blue, and Finn suddenly starts to scream in agony as his body is healed "Yovara vimuna virael."
Once the spell is done, Vincent sits up in shock and stares up at the four Mikaelsons and the werewolf in horror, asking "Who are you?"
Klaus looks at Freya in confusion and curiosity as she holds out two fingers and makes a sweeping motion over Vincent's face and said "Sleep."
As she speaks, Vincent suddenly falls unconscious onto the ground. Elijah and Klaus gape at her in shock while Luke had a proud face.
"What the hell did you do to him?"Klaus asked.
Freya holds up her pendant for him to see, saying "Finn is now safe from harm. And his hatred of you can no longer do to damage to our cause."
"Our cause?" Elijah asked.
"Yes. Ours. And now, if you three can stop arguing long enough, perhaps you'll allow your older sister to offer you a deal." Freya told him, nodding.
"What could you possibly offer us besides fairy tales and lies?" Klaus asked.
"Whatever you think of me, brother, know this... when I speak to you, it is the truth. If you have any doubts, remember that it was I who rescued Rebekah from the Fauline Cottage." Freya stated.
"And was it not also you who led Finn on his vile mission to take Hope and Theo' lives?"Elijah accused.
"The threat to Hope and Theo came from Finn. Not me. The brother I knew would never have stooped to threaten children. Our mother destroyed him. Like she did me. You. Everything she touched." Freya said as she looked at Klaus.
"Do not talk speak as though we are familiars! We know nothing of you." Klaus said, appalled.
Freya holds up each of her hands so that they are facing Klaus and Elijah's faces, and they both receive a vision/memory of Freya being taken by Dahlia.
Dahlia has just picked up the young Freya and is leaving with her as Esther and young Finn both cry in despair. Freya is hysterical and screaming "MOMMY! MOMMY!"
Freya, having ended the vision, stares at her brothers.
"Do you still think me a liar?" Freya asked.
"That proves nothing but your ability to conjure illusions." Klaus stated.
"Before you dismiss me, you should know this, if I've woken from my slumber, Dahlia has as well. Once she's sensed your children magic, she will come for them. And she has the power to kill anyone who stands in her way... unless we kill her first." Freya told them.
"That's quite convenient, isn't it? You show up in the nick of time to help us kill the woman with whom you've spent a thousand years!" Klaus told her.
"You have no idea what it took to escape her! Or what I lost in the trying. Her punishment will be profound." Freya said, frustrated and angry.
"And you know how to stop her?"Luke asked.
"Given the proper materials, yes. I've sent Father to procure them." Freya answered.
"You put the life of my children in the hands of Mikael?" Klaus exclaimed as he angrily storms off, but when Elijah calls his name, he stopped walking "Niklaus. This woman has knowledge of the threat we now face and is willing to share that information."
"Well, you'll excuse me, Elijah, if I'm not inclined to trust the mysterious sister we only just met! But, by all means, if you wish to entertain this idiocy, have at it." Klaus said as he vamp sped away, before Elijah can argue any further, leaving him alone in the cemetery with Freya, Luke and the unconscious Vincent.
"Thank you. Your kindness is much appreciated." Freya smiled at him shyly.
" I may be willing to accept your identity, Freya- but it doesn't mean I trust you." Elijah said.
"Then I will look forward to earning that trust." Freya told him.
She turns and leaves the cemetery
Later, at the compound, Lizzie was in the where she is holding a shrieking Hope and Theo and desperately trying to soothe them by rocking them, to no avail "Shhh. Shhh. It's okay, I'm here."
Hope and Theo continues screaming and crying.
"Please stop crying. You're giving me a complex." Lizzie said.
Jo and Jackson wondered into the room upon hearing the commotion.
"Uh, is it possible that I am the worst mother on the planet?" Lizzie sighed.
"You're a great mother. Let me try. You do remember I play babysitter with you and Luke when you were little. So I'm good with it." Jo added, taking the babies from Lizzie as she knew her sister would never give her babies willingly to Jackson.
"Aiden's back. We lost Jerick." Jackson informed.
"What happened?"Lizzie asked.
"Mikael got him." Jackson answered.
"I'm sorry. Maybe I shouldn't have suggested that we go after..." Lizzie trailed.
"Lizzie. You may not be part of the pack since you're not a wolf, but you are Hayley's friend. I value your opinion and insight. None of this is your fault." Jackson cut off.
"You blame Nik, don't you?" Lizzie asked.
"With his constant demands it feels like we're just a means to an end." Jackson sighed.
"That's not true. Nik doesn't understand what it's like to be part of a pack. He's been his own alpha for 1000 years. Give him time." Lizzie mumbled.
"It seems like you're the only person who he'll listen to." Jackson stated.
"Well I am his wife." Lizzie said.
"I feel like you don't trust me or the pack." Jackson admitted.
"I don't. Me and my siblings and Faye and Sage, we chose the Mikaelsons. While Hayley chose you and the werewolves. I'm sorry but if I am to part of any clan, it'll be with them. " Lizzie says.
Jackson nodded and walked away.
Lizzie noticed that Hope and Theo were now sleeping.
"You're such a blessing. Thank you." Lizzie told her sister as she placed Hope and Theo in their crib.
"You're welcome. Plus, they love their Auntie."Jo smiled.
"They do. I'm really glad you here, Jo."Lizzie told her.
"Well, this life here is amazing."Jo says before adding "Plus my magic grow stronger since I move here. It is like my magic wanted me to move here."
Later on, Klaus has just returned home, and smiles as he dotes on Hope and Theo, who were awake in their crib in the nursery, but aren't crying like they were before. Lizzie joined him and said "You can thank Jo for the quiet."
"I will."Klaus said as they left and went in the hall only to be met with Hayley there who walked toward them.
"You'll be pleased to know that Finn is no longer a problem. However, there are other dangers on the horizon. My father is on the loose. I need you to use your pack to find him."Klaus informed Hayley.
"No. We already lost one of ours today, a good man. I won't let any more wolves die, Klaus." Hayley frowned.
"Mikael is a threat to the children!" Klaus growled lowly.
"Mikael is a threat to you. The pack will protect Hope and Theo if he comes, but I'm not going to let you use them just to settle your old scores!" Hayley stated.
"And to the children too! When I went to the other side while I was pregnant, and saw him, he didn't just want to kill me but the babies too. He call them abominations! You weren't there!"Lizzie says.
" Let me be as clear as possible, your pack, your friends, your husband, are a necessary means to keeping Olivia and Lucas safe. But, I am not running a charity hostel, here. If they are not fighting on my side, then they will not remain alive to fight at all!" Klaus said angrily as Hayley glared at him.
"You do what you need to do to keep Hope and Theo safe, Klaus. I'll do the same. But if you ever, ever use them to try to manipulate me again, it will be the last time that you see either of us." Hayley threatened before she stalked away, leaving Klaus glowering in the hall.
Klaus muttered bitterly "That's why I don't have friends. You save her pack, ask for one favour and she throws it back in your face."
"Let it go, Nik. We don't need the pack. Maybe there's a desiccation spell in one of your mother's grimoires. I'll look."Lizzie sighed.
Klaus' expression shifted, eyes gleaming with dark amusement and said "You're right, little siphon. I killed him once, I'll do it again with the white oak stake this time. Let's hope it sticks."
