Eternal ➳ N. Mikaelson [COMPLETED]

➳ 74: street car named desire

FREYA was pacing around the study while Elijah, looking tense, was standing by watching her and Ingrid sat on the couch with an annoyed expression. The Mikaelson witch turned toward him with an incredulous look. "You daggered Rebekah? And you're just telling me now?"

"She sacrificed herself in order to protect us. And, to protect her, I've told Niklaus, and I'm telling you and Ingrid." Elijah argued sternly for his defense. "No one would have known Rebekah's whereabouts if Aurora had taken my life."

Ingrid had her elbow resting on the arm of the couch and her temple placed on top of her hand which was in a loose fist. Her eyes were closed as she took in the information. She let out a low sigh and glanced at her family. "I hate to be in consensus with Elijah but this is the safest option for her, and us, at the moment."

"The prophecy says you three will be felled by friend, family, and foe. Rebekah was fallen by family." Freya pointed out, trying to get the danger of their situation across.

"I don't think that counts." Ingrid argued, pointing a finger at her with a dull expression. "If it did, the prophecy would have been fulfilled centuries ago." She commented but went ignored.

"That leaves friend and foe. You and Klaus have a lot of foes." Freya continued on, almost as though Ingrid never spoke at all.

Elijah nonchalantly shrugged his shoulders and pursed his lips. "Just one or two."

Freya rolled her eyes and scoffed. "Thankfully, not many friends." She insulted earning a chuckle from the noble brother.

Just then, Klaus walked into the room with a familiar, sandy blond Salvatore in tow. "Freya, this is Stefan Salvatore, an old friend."

Elijah hilariously rolled his eyes at the sight of a former enemy and Freya gave Klaus a hard look. Ingrid leaned back in her seat and smirked at the younger vampire. "My, my... look what have here. Hello, Stefan."

Stefan gave her an unethused expression and nodded his head curtly. "Ingrid. Last I saw you, you were---"

"Looking like a beluga whale?" She questioned in amusement and interrupted him.

He shifted awkwardly on his feet and opened his mouth to fix her statement but she waved a hand in dismissal and continued on. "I know that's not what you were going to say. Save your breath." She assured him. "Still as sheepish as ever." She mocked with a small laugh and gazed him up and down causing him to scowl in annoyance.

Klaus laughed along with her and turned toward him, gesturing to the witch. "Stefan, this is Freya, my brand-new older sister. Long story."

Stefan nodded and smiled weakly in acknowledgement. Ingrid narrowed her eyes at him with a small smirk. She could almost tell what he was thinking. "Oh, God. There are more of them."

Klaus looked back to Freya to address her as he clapped Stefan affectionately on the back. "Stefan needs a favor."

Freya glared at Stefan suspiciously and folded her arms over her chest. "You're an old "friend," are you?"

This questioned earned stifled laughs from the three Originals and Stefan flattened his lips into an awkward face. "Well... That kind of depends on your definition." He then smiled nervously but Freya continued to scowl at him.
