As Will I
Aliza walked into St.Anne's church. As she walks she sees Marcel and Father Kieran who looked very sick talking. She clears her throat making her self known.
Marcel looked at her with side eyes. "Aliza, I--."
"Don't. Where is Kol and Jeremy? They told me they were here." Aliza walks toward the two, not caring about what he had to say.
"Upstairs." Marcel sighs.
"Where upstairs? There is more than just one room." Aliza rolls her eyes.
"Davina's old room." Marcel answers.
"Great job." Aliza says sarcastically smiling at Marcel. She turns and walks toward the door that would lead her upstairs.
"Aliza!" Marcel calls out to her. Aliza rolls her eyes and keeps walking. "Aliza! Please! I just need a minute to apologize." He grabs her arm.
Aliza abruptly turns and shoots her hands out. A source of energy go through her and through her hands, sending Marcel flying back into the seats.
Aliza's eyes widen and she then feels two kicks in her stomach. She lets out a breathy laugh before turning serious as she looks to Marcel who let out a loud groan as he tried to stand.
"Fuck you and your fucking apology." Serena spits out glaring at him. "You are just as bad as the rest of them, whether you like it or not. We were family, but now. It's like I don't even know you. We're you lying to me the whole time? Just to use me and get me to hate my father? Either way you're a piece of shit and I never want to see you again. Along with that, you will not and I repeat will NOT be in my babies lives."
With that Aliza turns and walks upstairs. She walks towards Davina's old room. She stops at the decorated door. Aliza runs her fingers over the door letting out a sad sigh. Not did she miss Davina. That girl was like a little sister to her. Speaking of sister. She has to call Elena to let her know about everything.
Aliza goes to knock on the door, but before she could it already opens. She looks up and sees her uncle.
"Uncle Kol!" Aliza smiles and wraps her uncle into a hug, careful with her bump.
The two pull away and behind her uncle was her brother. Aliza smiles again and pulls her brother into a hug squeezing her eyes shut as she embraced him. She feels Jeremy turn them around, her back facing the room before they pull away from each other.
"We have a surprise." Jeremy smiles widely. The biggest smile she's ever seen on his face since Davina died.
"But I—."
"Hate surprises." Kol and Jeremy say together. "We know."
"Whatever." Aliza huffs with a playful roll of her eyes.
"It's a great surprise. You'll love it." Jeremy reassures.
"I better because I momentarily stopped searching for Uncle Hades for this." Aliza states running a hand through her hair.
"I know where he is." Kol raises his hand.
"And you tell me that now, after I've been looking for him for hours." Aliza glares at the vampire.
"He said not to tell you." Kol shrugs not affected by his nieces harsh glare.
"Too late now." Aliza scoffs. "Tell me where he is, so I can kick his ass for making me look for so long."
Kol sighs. "He's in the-the—."
"Spit out already, Uncle Kol." Aliza urges.
"He's in the Underworld." Kol blurts out.
"The Under—where?" Aliza raises an eyebrow.
Kol let's out a laugh and points at Aliza. "You said underwear."
"We can talk about this later." Jeremy cuts them off. "Back to our surprise, please."
"Right, sorry." Kol says softly.
"This conversation is not done." Aliza says sternly before looking to her brother. "Proceed."
"Good." Jeremy nods with a smile. "Now, close your eyes and turn around."
Aliza looks between the two before closing her eyes and slowly turns around. "On the count of three open your eyes, okay?"
"Yes sir." Aliza nods with a chuckle.
"One...Two...Three."
Once Jeremy said three, Aliza's eyes shot open. She felt tears fill her eyes as she looked at what was in front of her. "D-D-Davina?"
Davina gets up and slowly makes her way towards Aliza. "It's me. I'm back, Ali. I'm really back."
"Oh my god." Aliza sobs and brings the smaller girl into her arms. "Vina."
"You have no idea how much I missed you." Davina cries into her sister figures shoulder. Aliza presses a soft kiss on the girls head.
The two hold on to each other for a little while longer before pulling away. Aliza wipes the girls tears away. "How are you back?"
"Marcel. He brought me back." Davina speaks lowly going to sit back down on the bed, Aliza follows and sits next to the girl. Kol and Jeremy standing in front of them. "I don't know how or why, but he did."
"It's probably a stupid question, but how are you feeling, V?" Aliza speaks softly, Davina only cries more. "You don't have to, but do you want to tell me what happened?"
"You can speak to us, beautiful. Just take your time." Kol moves forward and runs a soothing hand through his girlfriend's hair. Jeremy sits on her other side and places a kiss on her cheek.
Davina slowly nods and looks up at the three. "When I d-die, at first, I was alone, but then I heard them. Voices, whispering to me."
"Voices?" Jeremy repeats making Davina nod.
"What voices, Vina? Who was it?" Aliza takes the girls hand in hers. Davina squeezes it.
"The ancestors. They're so angry with me. I used my power against my own, and they said they'd do horrible things to me if I misuse my magic again." Davina explains.
"Those ancestors know if they do anything to you, they have to deal with me and they don't want a very pregnant powerful lady on their ass." Aliza says as Davina lets out a light chuckle.
"What do I do, Aliza? The witches aren't just gonna let me go. They're not done with me." Davina shakes her head leaning back into Jeremy.
"No one can control you unless you let them." Kol points out taking a seat in front of the three on the bed.
"How do I even know who to trust? Should I trust Marcel? The first thing he did when I came back was try to use me again to help Rebekah. I'm surprised you three don't want anything from me." Davina lays her head against her legs.
"Fucking Marcel. I'm going to kill him." Kol and Aliza mumble.
"Listen to me, D." Aliza says making her look up. "You have us. We love you for you, not for your power. You can trust us with anything and everything."
"She's right." Kol takes Davina's hands in his. "We're your mates. We are here for you no matter what. We are here to protect you and trust me when I say we won't let anything happen to you." He motions between himself and Jeremy.
"I'm so glad to have you guys." Davina smiles at the three.
"You have us forever, gorgeous." Jeremy presses a kiss to her cheek.
A moment of silence passes by and Davina speaks up. "When I came back, the voices I heard, they said the only ones who could help me are the witches. But, after what I did to them, they hate me. So, how can I go back and ask for their help now?"
"We're going to be here to help you." Aliza nudges her. "Plus, I'm the strongest being alive. We got this."
Outside Davina's room, Marcel has heard this entire conversation, and looks very sad and guilty
::
"So, Uncle Hades is where?" Aliza questions as her and Kol walk down the stairs.
"It's called the Underworld." Kol says again.
"What the hell is that? And why is he there?" Aliza questions.
"The Underworld is a otherworld where souls go after death." Kol explains as they make it to the door, stopping in front of it.
"Doesn't that have something to do with the Greek Gods?" Aliza asks and her Uncle nods. "So what does Uncle Hades have to do with it?"
"You have to let him explain." Kol sighs. "There's more to it. He's not the only one related to the Gods...You are too."
Aliza's eyes widened in shock. She opens her mouth to speak, but closes it right away. She was speechless. How could she out of all people be related to a Greek God.
"I have to go. Damon and Stefan are meeting me back at the cemetery." Aliza goes to walk out, but turns to her Uncle. "Thank you, Uncle Kol. Take care of Jeremy and Davina." She places a kiss on his cheek before speeding off.
::
Damon, Aliza and Stefan walked into the Cemetery. Aliza in the middle as she held
on to their hands. They walk towards where they heard voices. As they approach the family they see, Rebekah and Klaus are in a standoff. Klaus stands next to Elijah, preventing Rebekah from removing Tunde's blade from his chest, but Rebekah still holds the white oak stake.
"Dammit I missed the good part." Aliza whines making Klaus chuckle.
"Nice to have you back." Klaus smiles at her before looking over at his sister.
"The tension between them is strong." Stefan whispers to his brother and girl friend.
"Poor Elijah, he really can't help his sister now." Damon states looking over at a sweaty Elijah.
"Tough for him." Aliza shrugs.
"You against me. It's hardly a fair fight, is it?" Klaus speaks up. "I mean, perhaps, if Marcel were here, you'd stand a chance, but I expect he's already found another girl. No doubt younger and prettier."
"You take joy in other people's pain, and then you wonder why I hate you." Rebekah retorts.
"Yes, and that hatred led you to do what you did. Admit the truth. Admit you wanted my father dead. Along with using me, oh and Davina for power." Aliza cuts in fiddling with Damon's hand as Stefan's wraps around her shoulders.
"No, I wanted him to run, that is all-- despite his delusions." Rebekah points at her father.
"Elijah lies suffering, and I will allow you to help him. All you have to do is admit it." Klaus shrugs glancing down at his brother.
Rebekah shakes her head. "You're insane."
"Yes! Yes! I am a vicious, heartless monster, and so you summoned Mikael to kill me." Klaus exclaims. "Admit it."
"It's not true." Rebekah denies.
"You know what you did. Admit it." Klaus grits out.
"I didn't." Rebekah denies again shaking her head rapidly.
"She's just making this worse." Damon whispers to the two next to him who nod in agreement.
"You wanted me dead!" Klaus shouts. "Admit it."
"Maybe I did. Nik--." Rebekah admits.
"The truth is out boys." Aliza leans into Stefan's side.
Klaus, shocked that she actually admitted it, angrily stabs Rebekah with the white oak stake. Her body dropping to the floor desiccating. She watches as her father pulls it out. He had missed her heart.
"I knew you wouldn't do it." Aliza walks next to her father. "It's good that you didn't, despite hating her, we both know having that on your conscious wouldn't do you any good and you love her...she's your sister no matter what."
"That and I wanted her to feel fear, I once felt." Klaus whispers and pulls his daughter into a much needed hug. "I love you, my little warrior. Thank you for always being by my side."
Aliza hugged her father tighter. "I love you more, dad. I'm with you always and forever."
Klaus places a kiss to her head. "Always and forever."
After 15 minutes went by of Klaus and Aliza talking and joking and Damon and Stefan watching their soulmate fondly, Rebekah awakens.
"You missed my heart." Rebekah pants out.
"Perhaps I did. Or, perhaps I never meant to kill you." Klaus shrugs. "Perhaps I just wanted you to feel a fraction the fear I felt when Father came for me and was going to come for my daughter next."
"Do you yourself know the truth?" Rebekah questions pushing herself up.
"I know this." Klaus starts. "You accuse me of being evil, and yet you are the one who conspired to kill your own blood."
"You made our lives a living hell. You tormented us." Rebekah justifies herself.
"I love my family-- You, Elijah. I loved all of you." He walks toward Rebekah and looks her in the eyes. "I lost my damn daughter and I know after that I became difficult, but I did not make myself this way. From the start, it was Mikael who ruined me."
"He ruined me, too. That's what you forget." Rebekah says as a tear rolls down her face. "Centuries later, each of us is broken. You with your anger and paranoia, me with my fear of abandonment. And poor Elijah." She looks over at where he's laying, Papa Tunde's blade still stuck in his chest. "He dedicates himself to everyone but himself. We are the strongest creatures in the world, and yet, we are damaged beyond repair. We live without hope, but we will never die. We are the definition of "cursed." Always and forever."
Klaus looks over at his brother and moves to hot and take the blade out of his chest, but Aliza stops him. "May I?"
Klaus nods and Aliza walks over to it. She wraps her hand around the blade digs it a little deeper into his chest making him let out a scream. Rebekah goes to help, but Klaus alone with the two Salvatore's stop her with hard looks.
"Now, we're even." Aliza whispers before taking it out of his chest and then passes it to her father. "Proceed." Aliza moves between Damon and Stefan who hold her close and place their hands on her baby bump.
::
The five sit in silence until Rebekah decides to speak up again. "We're still trapped in here. Whatever you're going to do to me, do it now."
"You said our father ruined us. And I can't help but wonder, what if his father ruined him?" Klaus question glancing over to his daughter who smiled at something the boys next to her were telling her.
Klaus smiled. He loved seeing his daughter happy. He never wanted to disappoint his daughter because if he did, he would feel like a failure...and that's what Klaus was scared of, failing. He was scared of failing his daughter and becoming like the monster who raised him.
All of a sudden strong gust of wind blows the gate to the cemetery open, indicating the spell has been broken. Aliza looks up seeing what her father was gonna do.
"The barrier is down." Klaus states looking over to his sister.
"I know you hate me, but what's done is done." Rebekah speaks in a low tone.
"What's done is never done." Aliza says standing.
Klaus nods. "It remains within us, a story we tell ourselves so we know who we are. Vicious father, a bastard son, and the sister who betrayed him. Perhaps it's time for a new story. What is it you want, Rebekah?"
"Same things that I've wanted since I was a child. I want a home. I want a family. I want someone to love me, and I want to live." Rebekah says in a dreamy tone.
"Then go." Klaus says making Aliza look at him along with Damon and Stefan with slight shock. "Go far away and never come back. We are far too damaged to remain together, less a family now than a volatile mix of ingredients. New Orleans will be mine. I will continue to raise my child and my second born, along with helping my first born raise her child here in the city you took from me. No doubt, Elijah will choose to stay, but you? Sister, you are free."
"Dad." Aliza speaks up, pulling out her phone and going to a picture from her last doctors appointment. "I haven't told you yet, but I'm having twins. One boy and one girl."
Klaus's eyes soften completely at the picture in front of him. He grabs the phone and looks down at the picture and then back to his daughter and pulls her into another hug. "That's amazing, sweetheart. Their going to be amazing."
"I'm glad you can help me with them. The gods above knows how much I need especially with those two big children being the fathers." Aliza points to Stefan and Damon.
"Hey!" Stefan and Damon say together placing a hand on their heart.
Aliza and Klaus laugh. Klaus places a kiss on her cheek and pulls away giving her, her phone. "I will be here every step of the way."
"As will I." Aliza smiles.
Shocked and happy, Rebekah takes one last look at her brother and niece. Her eyes turn soft and immediately regretted everything that was happened. Knowing there was nothing she could do now, she turns and leaves the cemetery, as they watch her walk away.
