69 - The Trial of Klaus Mikaelson

Part 70

Gemini Runaway

Tag list ask to be added @icefrye19 @secretdreamlandmentality

Shrugging on one of Nik’s black jackets I left my hair falling when I noticed our daughters were up. Stopping in the doorway I called them. “Are you all ready to go with Jackson’s mother?”

“No. We want to stay here.” Alina fought back, throwing her backpack down at her feet. “Daddy and our family are fighting, why can’t we?”

Rolling my eyes at her I hated sometimes that she was like her father. With the temper of a werewolf almost. “Honey, it’s too dangerous for you to help us-“

“We saved you from the red head woman.” Missy pointed her index finger up at me.

Hope jumped from the bed, hands on her hip like I did sometimes. “Plus we saved dad, uncle Elijah and aunt Rebekah with you.”

“See we are badass witches that can help.” Alina raised her hands in the air in victory like she had won the argument.

Holding a hand up I scolded her. “Who told you it was okay to say that word, little miss?”

“Daddy.” She grinned.

Throwing my head back I turned on my heels heading into the hallway seeing that the brothers were preparing for battle. Klaus lowered a crossbow when Kol entered the room. “Freya's tracking your sirelings now. So it won't be long. Which works for me. I could use a good fight.”

“And I’ll be here to help you, sire.” Jacob vamped into the room holding a stake in his hands.

Kol smiled. “Thank you, mate.”

Elijah came down the stairs explaining. “Well, we do have an advantage. No vampire may enter this stronghold so long as the deed remains in Freya's name.”

“So what? We hide in here while our enemies mass at the front gate?” Kol asked, not liking the plan at all.

Klaus sat down with his crossbow smirking until I cut him off. “Well, if they're so determined to die at our hands, let them come.”

“Niklaus! Get your ass up here now!” I shouted leaning over the metal railing spinning on my feet until he vamped up jumping over the railing.

He put his hands behind his back, slightly smiling at me. “Yes, my love. Can I know why you had to shout through the whole household?”

“Did you tell Alina that she can curse and you’re perfectly fine with it?” I snapped, crossing my arms over my chest. Lifting my head upwards I glared at him. “Oh and on top of that now our girls think that they can help us fight. Tell them it’s too dangerous.”

He holds his hands up in front of me. “Rae, calm down honey. They are Mikaelsons. If they want to fight, let them. They have strong enough magic just like their mother."

"They're three years old." I trailed off huffing my shoulders.

He stepped closer, placing his hands on my shoulders, squeezing them gently. "Who helped defeat Dahlia after Freya claimed she was the most powerful witch she had ever seen."

"Yes, but…fine." I caved when he raised a brow at me calling for my brother. "Jacob!"

He landed up on the metal railing before he dropped down on his feet coming over to us. "What do you need, sis?"

"I want you to take our girls out of here when I tell you to. Can you do that for me please?" I asked him, glancing over to our daughters. "They want to help us fight but I don't want them to at this moment. But we might need them later. So take them to Lucien’s old place."

"Okay, got it." Jacob nodded simply.

Footsteps approached that we could all hear so Nik and I vamped downstairs where our group was suddenly surrounded by a huge crowd of vampires. The crowd broke a little allowing us to see Marcel come through. “Never thought it would come to this. But, as always... the Mikaelsons made my choice for me.”

Klaus muttered under his breath. “Marcel. How?”

“How are we in your home? I have friends who can nullify a deed, foreclose on a property like that.” He snaps his fingers.

Elijah walked towards him. "Marcel, your anger is with me. I am the one that's responsible for this crime against you."

The former King growled. "One thing I learned sticking around this family, Elijah, you take on one of you, you are taking on all of you. These guys, Klaus's sirelings, they're here to bear witness today."

Kol tilted his head to the side. "Are you planning to put on a little show, Marcellus?"

He smirked back. "Damned sure that I am. The fall of the Mikaelsons. And guess what. The show has already started."

Lifting my gaze upward I saw my brother helping the girls step up onto the railing all holding hands. Kol moved around me closer to Marcel. "I know you're hurt. I loved Davina, too. And it would break her heart to see you like this."

He growled. "Don't mention her name. If it weren't for you, she'd still be alive."

Kol replied. "But she's not. This is an insult to her memory." Once he said that Marcel grabbed him and bit him on his neck. Since he had taken some of Lucien’s serum he could all possibly kill us.

Whipping my head around I got in a fighting stance with Nik mumbled under his breath. "Kol."

Elijah moved forward when Marcel threw Kol back in our direction. I dropped down on a knee about to siphon the magic from the bite until I winced barley siphoning the bite at all. "Kol here - ah!" Grasping my chest my heart pounds like a train where I didn't have the energy to get up.

Marcel held Elijah down on the floor biting into his wrist injuring him too. Klaus vamped forward throwing punches at one another until his friend overpowered him. "Urgh!" Klaus grunted sliding back on the tile floor.

Rushing over to him we both got to our feet getting ready in a fighting stance. "Come on, hybrid and heretic." Marcel waved his hand forward taunting us.

"I'll kill you!" I revealed my fangs to the vampire King.

Klaus intertwined his hand with mine so we shared a glance briefly. "Jacob now!" We shared the same smirk sending my brother the signal.

"Now girls…Invisique." My twin grasped Alina'a hand. She was holding Missy’s and Missy had a hold of Hope. The four suddenly turned invisible and he vamped them out of the compound without touching any of the angry vampires on the ground.

Klaus and I then growled showing our vampire faces about to attack him until a blonde streak of hair flew in front of us. "Rebekah." Marcel gasped.

"Hayley has Freya. Take our brothers and go now. Marcel will not hurt me. Not if he knows what's good for him." She held her hands up in between us and Marcel. Grasping Nik's hand in mine he vamped us away to where the others were.

Hayley laid Kol down on the couch with Jacob walking over to me. "The girls are playing in the other room. So what do we do now?"

"I'm going to die." Kol moaned in pain with me and Jacob seeing the red bite on his neck.

Klaus and Jacob said in unison where they both shared a glance. "You're not going to die."

Kol chuckled dryly. "That sounds familiar! Isn't that what you said to Finn?"

"Why don't we just siphon the bite from them?" Jacob throws his hands up in defense.

Still holding my chest the elevator door opened causing me to create a fireball throwing it at the doorway. "Incendia!"

"Woah Raelyn. It's just me." Cami ducks avoiding the fireball. "I got the call from Hayley."

Holding my heart I stumbled into the table gasping. "Ah! What the hell is happening?"

"Raelyn, what's wrong?" Klaus rushed over, placing a hand on my shoulder concern in his tone.

Holding a hand under my nose I saw some blood where I wiped it away with my sleeve. “Uh I’ll be fine. We don’t have time to worry about me. Now let me siphon Kol and Elijah before they die.”

“Not so fast, Rae. You’re bleeding and getting tied even though you are a vampire. And you have held your chest where your heart is multiple times. Something is clearly not right with you.” Klaus warned yanking me away from his brothers before I could move further.

“You can’t be serious right now. You say our daughters should fight but when I need to save your brothers then you say I shouldn’t fight.” I snarled at him.

He tucked hair behind my ear, cradling my cheek in his palm. “I love you more than my own life, Raelyn. And I can’t risk you dying even if it is to save my family…Look, Lucien engineered his venom from the seven werewolf packs, so maybe that's the key to a cure.”

“Oh, great. That's the first piece in a puzzle none of us will be alive to solve. I'm poisoned, Rebekah's hexed, and our brothers are bitten.” Freya frantically turned her head around at her brother. “We need three different cures to three different ailments, each of which could take years to find, and none of us will make it through the day.”

Elijah heavily breathed it after Rebekah called saying Marcel demanded a trial of his sire. “It's not a trial. This is su1c1de. Take Raelyn, take your girls, get the hell out of the city.”

My husband snapped at his brother. “No. We won't leave here.”

Kol cries out, thrashing from the bites poison. “No! Davina! Please! No, please don't leave me!”

Jacob placed his hand on his side doing a calming spell. “Shh-shh.”

“So what exactly is the plan if Klaus won’t let you or Jacob siphon away the magic?” Cami asked, moving her arms across her chest.

Shrugging my shoulders I had one idea but it was crazy. Meaning Freya was already on board with it. “I have one plan, but it involves having my daughters do a dangerous spell to unlink me and Klaus from each other. Including our sired vampires.”

“So our lives wouldn’t be tied to you anymore. What kind of spell would require that?” She asked, giving me a confused expression.

Klaus came over to us seeing the looks on our faces. “What are you thinking of doing with our daughters, Rae?”

“I have to destroy my linking ring to you. Once I destroy the link between you and the rest of the people you turned I shouldn’t be able to be put down alongside you.” Holding up my left hand he could see the link ring above my wedding band. “After that Freya can channel me and the girls, getting enough strength to link you and your siblings together.”

He parted his lips remembering his mother’s spell. “And they would still be alive because of me. Like my mother did.”

“Exactly. We have to use the same dark magic your mother used to create you in order to save all your lives.” Explaining to my husband Freya came over to us.

She glanced over to me. “What do you think of mine and Raelyn’s plan. Will you agree to it?”

“I will move the world to make it so.” He declared taking my hand in his. “You think I should stand trial before that death-dealing mob?”

“I hate the thought but…”

Freya signed heavily. “Well, that's the easy part. In order to save your family, you need to come out of that trial alive.”

Klaus walked beside me stopping in his tracks when he noticed our three daughters coming our way. “Daddy!” The three tackled him in hugs with us all standing in an alleyway where he would enter his trial with Marcel.

He drops on his knees kissing each of them on the head. “It’s going to be okay, princesses. Daddy has to do this to save our family.”

“Mommy says we have to leave you in order to save you.” Missy cried where he wiped them away.

He nodded seeing Hope stomp her foot. “It’s not fair.”

“We should take on Marcel ourselves. We can fight!” Alina made her hands into fists.

Klaus lifted his gaze up to mine seeing me slump my shoulders in frustration at having to separate them from him. “Lina, the best way to fight is to help your mother with this spell and then do what she says until we are reunited.”

“There are my little nieces.” Rebekah came around the corner causing the girl to run to her hugging her.

While they were distracted I walked over to my husband flinging my arms around his neck. “I don’t want you to go, Nik. Even though I know it’s to save the others. It’s still hard!”

“I know, believe me. I know, love. But hey…" He pulled my head away from his shoulder so I was looking him in the eye. "We do this and we get to be a family once you find the cure. Just remember that I love you. I love you so much, Raelyn. More than words can describe. Yet while we are apart I want you to keep this for me."

He removed his chain necklace over his head, clasping it around my neck. "Oh Klaus, I love you too." Wrapping my arms around his neck I crashed my lips onto his. He tugged me against his chest deepening the heated kiss until I broke it.

"Raelyn, I don't deserve it." He gasped when I moved my hands around my neck, unlinking my brother's necklace and moving it to his neck.

Leaning up on my toes I kissed him hungrily again. He ran one hand through my hair and the other was on my back. "You do deserve it. You deserve to have a piece of me. Until we are reunited, Niklaus. Because I will never stop loving you. Forever, I do Klaus Mikaelson."

"Forever, I do Raelyn Mikaelson." He whispered, kissing me passionately one final time.

“Are you ready?” Rebekah asked him, leading the girls back to us.

He took hold of her wrist in his hand. “Are you?”

She explained with a dry chuckle. “For Freya's plan to work, I can't go mad and you can't die. What are the bloody odds of that?”

Nik smiled following her inside. “Wasn't it you who once said I could talk my way out of hell?”

Standing in the doorway I watched Marcel rise from his throne. “The great Klaus Mikaelson has decided to grace us with his presence.”

He shook his head. “I have nothing to hide, Marcel. You wish to put me on trial for my many grievous sins. Well, go on. Have at it.”

“Klaus Mikaelson. Sire to a thousand years' worth of angry faces. How does it feel to be this hated? Go on. Look at them. I said, look at them! They're all yours, after all. Do you remember him? 1694. His wife accused Rebekah of witchcraft. So you turned him and then compelled him to drain his wife dry.” Marcel walked around the room pointing out two men and one woman of Klaus’s sire line. “Or this man. He was a simple farmer. In 1745, he made the mistake of owning land that you wanted. You could've easily taken it. Instead, you turned him and then made him burn his entire village to the ground. Or this woman. 1891. Her mother had pneumonia.

Coughed all through the night. You got annoyed. So you turned them both, and made her watch as you burned her mother alive.”

Klaus throws his hands outward standing on a table in the middle of the crowd. “Yes, yes, yes. My sins were terrible indeed. But they taught the world to fear me, and that fear protected my family.”

Marcel scoffed. “Don't preach to me about family! I was your family once. Or so you said. And where did that get me?”

Nik shook his head glancing over in our direction. “I could've left you nameless and alone, but I didn't. I took you and I made you all that you are.”

Removing the golden link from my left hand I sat it down in the middle of the salt circle we had created. Raising to my feet I offered them my hands. “Okay girls. Just like we did with the evil witch. Take each other’s hands and follow me.”

“This will get dad back?” Missy asked me with her sweet tone,

“Yes baby girl. Now follow my lead….Phasmatos tribum nas ex veras uenes fes matos et somnos. Ex totum ex um maleo matos.” I told them seeing them hold hands siphoning off one another.

The ring in the middle of the circle begins burning in between our feet where I gasped feeling blood coming from my nose. "Mom, should we stop?" Hope asked nervously.

"No….keep going." I shook my head gulping until the ring at our feet was burnt to ash. Dropping Alina and Hope's hands they gasped watching me bend down stomping on the last bite of burning metal until it went out.

Marcel asked the angry crowd. “Well… I think we've heard enough. Have you come to a decision?”

The crowd cheered. “Kill him! kill him!”

Whipping my head around to our daughters I rushed forward knowing we didn't have long before they tried to kill them. "Girls, take my hands again."

"What are we doing now?" Missy looks at me confused.

We all held hands again forming another circle. "A little sleeping spell for your aunts and uncles. It won't hurt them, I promise…..Vintomas inta Grum, vin novus novasomin. Vintomas inta grum, vin callus novasomin.” The girls and I broke apart when we saw a flash of Freya and the others falling asleep around Hayley and Cami back at Lucien’s place.

Klaus raised his voice taunting his former friend who sat on a throne before him. “Enough! I'm disappointed in you, Marcellus. Using my poor, impaired sister to propagate your vitriol. It's hardly the mark of a true leader, wouldn't you say?”

The vampire rolls his eyes. “Oh, please. You want the last word, take it. Then we can finish this.”

“Look at you. Outraged over the loss of Davina. She who routinely betrayed my family. And in the end, defied even you. Perhaps... you should've warned her what befalls those who cross me. Maybe... what happened to her was your fault.” Klaus faked gasping with a smirk still on his face while he moved around the room. “No matter. Davina's death did help defeat Lucien, so I suppose you could say the little witch did finally prove herself to be of some minute worth. And as for you lot... yes, I murder your loved ones! I killed your harlot. I rid the world of your slum. And I freed you from your decrepit mother. So, what of it? Each and every one of you stands here today because I willed it to be so. This mockery of a trial is allowed only because of me. And your very immortality is a gift... from me. A debt that you can never repay. One that far offsets all of my supposed crimes. I... owe... you... nothing. So, go on! kill me! I welcome the peace of death as a reprieve from this tedium. I will die suffering but a taste of the agony I have inflicted upon all of you. The scales remain in my favor. And in the end, you will all know that I won. You will remember me, Klaus Mikaelson... your maker.”

Rebekah shouted over the crowd. “Death is too good for him! You have the means to make him suffer. Let that be his fate!”

Marcel got to his feet showing the fish hook blade in the air. The crowd held him down before he shoved it inside my husband's chest. " Justice... for Klaus Mikaelson... should be a fate worse than death. This blade is imbued with dark magic. It will cause unending agony. All the pain that we have felt at the hands of this man will pale in comparison to what he will soon feel for as long as I decide to let him live. For Davina, Diego, Thierry, Gia, Cami and the boy I used to be. The one you once called your son."

"Ahhh!" I winced, grabbing my heart falling on my knees for a second.

Alina ran over. "Mom, are you okay?"

Rebekah vamped into the hallway seeing our situation. "Raelyn!"

Sucking in a breath my heart began to feel better shortly afterwards. Grasping her forearm she helped me to my feet. "I'm okay. Mommy's fine. We have to go. Follow Auntie Bex." We ran towards the stairs where she called Hayley.

Hayley asked us. "Rebekah, Raelyn. Is it over?"

She responded back hearing the crowd cheering outside. "Nik found a way to stay alive. Our plan worked. Now it's up to you girls, Hayley. Make his sacrifice count."

The werewolf responded. "I will. Hang tight. I'll come for you soon."

Cami added on. "Jacob is loading the coffins now. We're coming for you all."

Jaocb pulled up with a truck about to hug me but I pushed him back frantically looking behind me. “We can hug later. Get Bex in the truck. We need to go now.”

“On it. Hayley, can you help me.” He agreed and the pair left. Cami sent me a look and a simple head nod.

Climbing in the truck I watched Jacob close the last original coffin that had Rebekah inside. He shut the door and got in the driver's seat. Hayley was beside him. Cami was in back with me holding Andrea. Pulling out a letter that Nik had apparently slipped inside my jacket I stared at our three exhausted daughters sleeping. Opening it I read quietly to myself wiping away heavy tears with my sleeve. “"My dearest girls. Hope, Alina and Melissa. I do not know how this will find you. As children full of wonder, teenagers full of opinions, or some woman with the world at her feet. I write to tell you that I love you and to explain that in our family's darkest hour, I was called upon to save my siblings, and so I did. Please do not mourn me. Whatever pain I endure, I do so in service of those I love. My sole regret is that I will be away from you and your mother. Be good to your mother. I draw comfort knowing that she will protect you. And I know she will not rest until our family is united. Until then, my sacrifice will allow you to grow. To become the beautiful daughters I can now only imagine……I will love you forever, Raelyn - forever yours - Klaus.”

Looking out the window of the backseat I clutched his necklace in my hand. “Mystic Falls, please have the cures we need.”
