Saving The Babies
Luke runs inside of a tomb in hopes of finding the babies with Sage, Hayley and Klaus, Faye and Elijah following behind, but only to be disappointed that it's empty with nothing but candles and their own thoughts. They stop and catch their breaths, realizing they just made a loop.
"We've passed through here twice already." Elijah sighed in defeat.
"We're running out of time." Luke said as he kicked something and runs his fingers through his hair.
"Then we move faster." Sage said as she uses the rock she has in hand and marks next to the other three tallies on the stone wall.
"Or smarter." A familiar female voice called out from behind and they all freeze, slowly turning around to see Lizzie walking inside the tomb dazed and exhausted looking.
"Lizzie..."Faye muttered.
Klaus cautiously stepped closer to her, his breathing is shaky. He fears this may all be another cruel illusion created by the witches. Slowly raising his hand towards her, he runs his fingers through her hair, finding a place at the back of her neck. At first Lizzie flinches at the feel of Klaus' touch against her skin, it's like time paused for that spilt second until she practically melted in his hold. A shaky breath falls from Klaus' lips before wrapping his arms around Lizzie fully, pulling her towards his chest.
"How are you here?"Elijah asked.
"I woke up in the church. I felt this hunger... I knew what we needed. I We can feel them. They're here. I can feel our babies." Lizzie trailed.
"You died with the babies blood still in your system. She's in transition." Sage stated.
"Which means she has to drink the blood of the children if she is to survive." Elijah mumbled.
"To be reborn as a heretic."Klaus stated.
"None of that matters right now. I'm gonna go find our babies." Lizzie says as she makes her way out of the tomb.
They march out through the tombs in the cemetery's illusion, following Lizzie as she can sense their babies nearby. They search through the tombs and turn only to see Genevieve holding an athame up above one of the babies while the other sat in basket off to the side.
"No!"Lizzie screamed and Genevieve looks up in shock to see them alive.
Sage picks up an urn and lobs it at the witches, which slams against Genevieve's hand and knocks the athame onto the ground. The group run forward toward them, so Monique and Abigail move around the alter to hold each other's hands and channel the ancestor's power to throw them backwards while Genevieve go to find the athame.
" You fools! To come against us in our place of power in our strongest hour? You don't face three, you face us all!" Monique said.
Lizzie runs a different direction and Klaus and Sage takes the other while Luke, Faye, Elijah and Hayley went the other way and Hayley fight against them to try and overpower.
Luke and Faye chanted a spell "Cinis cinerem, Spiritu spiritus est. Tolle animam suam: auferte malum hoc."
The spell sent back the ancestors spirits back into the spirit world. It made the ancestors spirits disappeared.
Klaus grabs an iron bar from a gate and throws it forcefully toward Abigail, the iron impales through her stomach and sends her flying and bleeding out, breaking the connection she has with the ancestors. Monique quickly runs to grab the athame to finish the sacrifice herself. Klaus and Elijah vamp-speed toward her to go toward her, but she uses her magic to block them using a wall of fire.
Just as Monique was about to sacrifice the baby, she was hit with the Devil's Star, which embeds itsef in her stomach. Her body becomes covered in cuts, and she coughs up blood before falling to the ground. Klaus, Elijah and Sage turn around to see that Marcel was the one who saved the babies. Before they can say anything, Marcel vamp-speeds to the babies , and then vamp-speeds away with it. Klaus follows after him.
Later, at the cemetery, Neither Lizzie or Luke show any emotion whatsoever as they watched Elijah shackle Genevieve up inside one of the tombs. The red head started to regain consciousness and had a bruise around her face.
"Why?"Lizzie asked angrily.
"The Ancestors left me no choice..." Genevieve trailed.
"You were willing to sacrifice innocent babies for more power?"Lizzie cut her off.
"No, not just power! It was the Ancestors' decree. It was her decree." Genevieve said, shaking her head.
Elijah grabbed hold of her face as he asked "It was whose decree?"
"I'm surprised you have to ask. After all, you were the one who convinced your siblings to consecrate her on New Orleans soil." Genevieve laughed darkly.
Elijah lets go of her, visibly disgusted, when he realizes who she's talking about.
"Esther." Luke realized.
"So, not even death can stop our mother from seeking the annihilation of her own flesh and blood."Elijah stated.
"This isn't the end. As long as those children lives, the witches of New Orleans will never stop coming for it. Esther will never stop coming for it. It has been decreed...your babies will be consecrated among their ancestors. They will not live." Genevieve said as she started to cry.
Lizzie, Elijah and Luke glared at her.
Genevieve begins to bleed from her eyes.
"They're coming for me, I can feel it. I failed them. Understand...I just wanted to live. Tell Klaus... I'm sorry." Genevieve said as she started to choke up blood.
Lizzie watches her for a moment before sighing and stabbing her in the stomach with the athame and cutting her abdomen open as she said furiously " I'm not. Rot in Hell."
Lizzie and Luke walked out.
Elijah followed as Genevieve died, still restrained by her wrists against the wall.
At the compound, Lizzie sat on a rocking chair in the nursery's that are meant for the babies. Lizzie had both both her babies. Hayley and Luke were with her while the others sat in the other room talking about what they discovered after getting answers from Genevieve before Lola killed her.
"I should have felt our mother's hand in this. I should have known she would not be bound by anything as obvious as death. And now she has control of the witches. They will never stop." Klaus mumbled.
"No." Elijah sighed.
"Nor would I expect the Guerrera wolves to back down. Hayley is a wolf royalty. My daughter and son are part wolf and that makes them a threat to Francesca's claim to the leadership. And Elizabeth's father... he said he'd come for them. He mistreated her and Luke for being siphons... he'll do the same for my children if he gets the chance. He plans to imprisons Elizabeth in the prison world. We can't let that happen. " Klaus said.
"They will never be safe. What was it you said to me earlier? That I have made enemies every day of my miserable life? Well, the worst of them are within these borders, brother. I have brought into the world a weapon they can use against me." He then says worriedly as Elijah seems guilty for what he said earlier.
"Then we will arm ourselves! Brother, we have fought every adversary in this town, and we have won. And we'll fight them again, no matter who they are! We will make this home a fortress." Elijah stated.
"I will not have them live their lives as prisoners. And you know Elizabeth... after what she and Luke has both been through, she won't survive being caged again." Klaus said shaking his head.
"Then we leave here, together. All of us." Elijah told them.
"Wherever we go, however far we run, those who seek power and revenge will hunt us! They will hunt them. They have inherited all of our enemies with none of our defenses." Klaus concluded.
"So, whether we stay, or we leave...we condemn them." Elijah spoke up.
Lizzie and Luke walked into the room with the babies in her arms the same time Hayley appeared.
"There's a third option. I grew up in a warzone. My parents thought they could protect me. But, in the end, they were slaughtered, and I spent my childhood alone and unloved."Hayley told them.
"I made a promise, to my babies, and to myself, that she would not grow up like I did. That she would grow up safe, and loved.And yet, here they are, on their first day, in this world, with a grandmother who is bent on sacrificing them... And a mother who has drink the blood of her own babies to survive transitioning into an heretic. And I'm the one who love them the most." Lizzie stuttered as she begins to cry.
Klaus and Elijah just look at them, saddened.
"I think the only thing to do is... send them away... while we stay behind and clean up the mess that we've made."Lola then muttered sadly.
"No! This is insane. You heard Genevieve...so long as she lives, that baby will be hunted."Elijah scoffed.
"They can't stay here. It's not safe for them, Elijah."Luke told him.
"Not if no one knows they lives." Klaus says sadly, but willing to do whatever it takes to protect their children.
"What is it you intend to do, brother?" Elijah asked.
" Whatever it takes to save our family." Klaus said.
"Who can protect them better than us?"Elijah asked.
"Rebekah and I. You'll need a witch to cloak them. And as a Gemini witch, no one is better at cloaking spells than one of them."Luke suggested.
"No. You stay. I'll go."Faye said, shaking her head.
The plan was set and now all the family hopes for is that woever seeks for revenge believes that their children are no longer living. Marcel had agreed to help the Mikaelson and their allies keeping the babies safe.
Lizzie stay behind, packing the babies belonging with enveloppe inside the diaper bag for the babies. She walks inside the room and gets ready to drink the blood of one of her babies' blood. Lizzie picks up her first born, having a pins in her hands and presses it against one of the babies fingers. One of the babies cries from the pricks and She kissed their fingers where there was a large drop of blood. For a second, Lizzie's heretic face came out: dark veins under her eyes and glowing purple eyes.
Afterwards, they got to the candlelight vigil for the deceased community members with Elijah. Everyone crowds around, watching them walk up to the wall and Francesca doing the same, but skeptically. Lizzie places a bouquet of flowers next to the wall and kisses their fingertips before touching them to the plaque that announce her children's death.
Then they left with Hayley, Elijah, Sage and Luke.
In the outskirts of New Orleans, Klaus and Faye waits for a certain someone arrival. One person arrival.
A car pulls onto the dirt road and it parks in front of them. Rebekah gets out of the car and she walks toward them as Faye and Klaus who were holding the babies in their arms. Rebekah saw them and the babies, smiling at the sight.
"Hello, sister." Klaus smiled at her and Rebekah gently touches one of the babies cheek.
"Oh, the girl both look like her mother but the boy looks like a mix between you and Elizabeth. Maybe there is a God after all." Rebekah smiled.
"Well, they have a hint of the devil in their eyes. That's all me." Klaus smiled.
"I am coming with you. You'll need a witch and since I'm a powerful heretic, I'll come with you."Faye said.
"No one can ever find them." Klaus emphasizes.
"We know what to do. Trust me."Faye says.
"Perhaps we'll get a white fence. I think that would be lovely." Rebekah smiled.
Klaus looks down at the babies resting in their arms and he gives them one last look before Rebekah take one of them and Faye holding still the other for their own safety.
"This city would have seen you dead. But, I will have it your home. And every soul who wishes you harm will be struck down, just as sure as my blood runs in your veins. You will return to me." Klaus says to his babies."
Klaus kissed his children forehead before he takes out a tiny wooden knight he carved for Rebekah a thousand of years ago and gives it to her.
" In spite of our differences, Rebekah, there is no one I would trust more with our children's lives. Be happy, sister." Klaus said as he hugged Rebekah and kissed her cheek.
"They will be happy. I promise. What's their names?" Rebekah smiled sadly with tears pecking her cheeks.
"This little princess is Hope Rebekah Mikaelson. And the little prince is Theo Kol Mikaelson."Klaus said.
"You gave Hope my name as a middle name?"Rebekah asked.
"Of course I did. You're my sister."Klaus said.
Klaus started to cry as Faye and Rebekah left with the babies. Faye and Rebekah get into the car with Hope and Theo.
