When The Levee Breaks
It had been three years. Lizzie was trying to get her three years old twin children to go to sleep "Come on, it's time for you two to go to bed!"
"But we're not tired."Hope and Theo said in sync.
"Well, it's almost midnight so you need to go to sleep."Lizzie told them.
"Kids, listen to your mother or I'll take away your toys."Klaus said, wrapping his arms around Kiara from behind.
"Yes, daddy."Hope said as she climbed into bed.
"Okay, daddy."Theo added and snuggled down underneath his covers.
"Goodnight, my lovelies." Klaus said before shutting the door behind them. Lizzie sighed and asked "Where do they get all that energy from?"
Klaus shrugged his shoulders, still holding his wife in his arms and replied "They're three years old, Love. The only reason we're tired all the time is because we're the ones chasing them all day. Now let's head to bed before they wake up again."
The next morning, Lizzie and Faye walked courtyard seeing a witch named Josephine standing.
Faye was wearing a T-shirt with a leather jacket, a jean and some boots.
Lizzie was wearing a red top with a pant and some boots.
" Forgive me for calling so early, Elijah, but, I've come bearing a message from your aunt Dahlia. She is owed a debt, and she means to be paid."Josephine said to Elijah.
Elijah looks stunned at this response, but Josephine remains unperturbed.
"She can writhe in Hell first."Klaus said.
"They're children. She has no right to take them from us!"Lizzie growled towards the witch tempted to just spell her out of the compound without a second thought.
"For merely taking what your mother promised her? If you must harbor hatred, isn't it better spent on the one who traded your child away a thousand years ago? Blame Esther, if you must, but I seek only to fulfill a bargain. A bargain that, consequently, resulted in your very existence. Perhaps you should be thanking me?" Josephine/Dahlia said.
"You're not Josephine. You're Dahlia."Lizzie realized.
Josephine/Dahlia grinned "I prefer Aunt Dahlia."
"You dare enter my home?"Klaus said.
Josephine/Dahlia sighed boredly, shifting her gaze between the group "The time has come to add the children's power to my own. Though, I do not detect her here. I see you've used a spell to cloak her. No matter...such spells will yield, as will you. Say your farewells. You have 'til nightfall tomorrow, and then the children shall be mine. No reason we can't be civilized about this."
Klaus smirks at Josephine/Dahlia and gives Elijah a look before completely losing his temper and karate-chopping her in the neck, decapitating her and sending her head flying across the courtyard. Both Rebekah and Elijah look horrified about what they've just heard, but Klaus smiles as he looks at Josephine's lifeless body on the floor.
Klaus hugged Lizzie in comfort while saying "It's going to be okay, Lola. We won't let her take them."
Walking through the house, Lizzie wrapped her arms around herself and said to her husband "Three years, Nik. She should just leave us alone."
"We will take her down just like I did with my mother and father."Klaus told her. He had killed Mikaelson so they could use his Viking ashes which only made Freya basically avoid them.
"That's different though. We know the way they think. But we don't know anything about this woman. Freya ran for her life and I don't wish that fate for our children."Lizzie stated.
Suddenly, Hope and Theo came toward them.
"Look, mommy, daddy."Hope said as she and Theo showed their new magic trick by summoning some sort of ball smoke.
"That's amazing."Lizzie said.
Suddenly, there was vines surrounding the area where Lola used her magic to destroy it before it could surround any of them. Faye rushed there to see what was happening.
Hope and Theo were scared and hugged their mom who took them into her arms as Kiara said "It's okay, babies, mommy's got you."
"How precious they are."A woman with dark hair said standing in the balcony doorway.
"Dahlia."Faye snarled.
Dahlia began to walk forward until she smacked into a barrier spell that Faye and Lizzie had put around the whole compound.
"Hmm a simple spell that will come down soon enough."Dahlia hummed.
"Even if you get inside you won't make it but a few more steps. Before I rip out your throat and your vocal cords!"Klaus threatened flashing his hybrid eyes appeared.
" I was hoping for a more intimate chat. Though I sense by entering, you would have me at a considerable disadvantage."Dahlia says.
"Why don't you come on in? I would love to show you some heretic hospitality."Lizzie challenged.
"And some Bennett witch hospitality, bitch."Faye added.
"I only wanted to see the little ones who has been promised to me. Won't be long now, surely you've noticed the spell protecting you is growing weaker?"Dahlia smirked.
" If you lay a finger on her, I swear I will make you suffer in ways even your evil mind can't imagine."Lizzie threatened.
Dahlia looked at Hope and Theo before smiling wickedly "Did you honestly think I wouldn't find out about them too. I could feel two pulls of magic. Yet, I couldn't understand why, now it's becomes clear."
"Why do you need to steal from children? According to Freya you have enough power."Lizzie asked.
"No matter how strong you think you to be. You will not harm the children!"Klaus exclaimed.
"I will draw their power out of them one way or another. You aren't meant to raise them."Dahlia declared before disappearing.
