Chapter 47

Present

McKenna's eyes opened wide and she sat up. "McKenna, are you okay?" Caroline quickly asked. 

"I'm fine mom. But we need to hurry." McKenna got off the bed and went to her closet, grabbing a pair of shoes. 

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Klaus asked. 

"Because she's here." McKenna hopped as she put on one of her shoes while walking towards the room door. A loud bang came from downstairs. 

"Esme is here." Caroline stated. 

"Yeah. Come on." McKenna opened the door and ran downstairs, Klaus and Caroline not far behind her. 

All of the kids were unconscious on the ground, as well as a few of the adults. McKenna slowly walked into the living room. She turned towards her parents. "Do you hear anything?" She quietly asked. 

Klaus and Caroline listened for any noise. "She's in the dining room." Klaus whispered. 

McKenna walked towards the dining room without making a noise. She stood at the entrance and took a deep breath. Esme was using her magic to hold Elena against the wall. McKenna screamed sending Esme flying against the wall. Elena dropped down to the ground and quickly stood up. 

Caroline was making sure she was okay and McKenna walked closer to Esme. Esme slowly got off the ground. "You've been busy." 

McKenna didn't say anything, waiting for Esme to attack. "You're more of the silent type. Like my sister. All the more fun." Esme went to attack. 

She went to hit McKenna in the face, McKenna quickly dodged the punch. McKenna quickly acted, fighting back. As they fought they moved throughout the house. McKenna roundhouse kicked Esme, knocking her down. 

Esme slowly backed away as McKenna walked closer to her. Esme whispered a spell, making McKenna clutch her head and fall to her knees. Esme slowly got up as she held it. McKenna fought it and stood up from the ground. They fought a bit more and McKenna used a spell, injuring Esme. 

Esme quickly hid behind a wall, looking at her bleeding arm and leg. She touched the huge cut on her arm, letting out a hiss. She slowly stood up as she heard McKenna near. Esme whispered a spell making smoke appear all throughout the house. 

When the smoke disappeared Esme was gone. McKenna saw her blood on the floor and smirked, grabbing a small vile, she used her magic to make the blood go into the small vile.

"Who the hell was that girl?" Andrew asked as wiped the blood on his forehead. 

After a very long explanation into their family history, the teenage and adult Mikaelson children questioned what their next move was to defeat Esme. 

"Well, I injured her quiet a bit and she takes about three hours to heal herself. So I was thinking we find her tonight before she's at her full strength." McKenna looked at her parents, aunts, and uncles. 

"We can't locate her without something of hers or her blood." Elena spoke up. 

McKenna reached into her back pocket and pulled out a small vile with red liquid. "I got what I could from the floor." She handed the vile to Elena. 

"I'll go do a locator spell now. You guys go get cleaned up." Elena walked out of the family room and upstairs towards her and Kol's study in their wing of the house. 

She pulled a map of mystic falls off one of the bookshelves. She rolled it out on the desk, she then opened the small vile of blood. She poured the blood onto the map. 

"Quaerite et invenietis hominem cum sanguine," Elena chanted in latin as the blood started to move along the map.

The blood stopped. "Clever." Elena whispered at where the blood stopped. She went to her room and quickly washed the dried blood away and changed her top. She walked back downstairs to where everyone was in fresh clothes waiting. 

"I found her." Elena entered the family room. 

"Where is she?" Kol asked. 

***

They walked through the woods. "Is it supposed to rain tonight?" Grayson looked up at the sky, as clouds started to come in. 

"Really?! We are about to go up against Aunt Caroline's distant Aunt and you're worried about the weather." Anastasia looked at her older brother incredulously.

"Yes, Ana. I don't want my shoes to get muddy while were fighting. These are brand new." Grayson gestured to his white shoes. A hand smacked the back of his head. "Ow! Rude!" He looked at Ariella. 

"Stop being dramatic. Now be quiet." Ariella glared.

Grayson rolled his eyes but kept his mouth shut, not wanting to get slapped in the back of the head again. 

"Where exactly is this place?" Marcel asked. Sure he lived in Mystic Falls for a short period of time but he never ventured into the woods to find a secret hideout during his stay.

"A few more miles north." Bianca said. 

"I keep forgetting you used to live her along time ago." Marcel looked to his wife. 

As they talked quietly, Bonnie and Damon were walking next to each other in awkward silence. "Look, after this is over I need to tell you something really important." Bonnie broke the silence. 

"Okay, I also wanted to talk to you about something after this is all over." Damon said. 

Bonnie nodded and they continued walking.

Soon they reached the destination. "God, I haven't been here in years." Caroline whispered to herself. 

"Okay, a few go in and a few stay out here in case she escapes." Katherine says. 

Everyone nodded. The leaves rustled and crunched. "Do you hear that?" Alexia asks as she turns towards where the noise is coming from. 

"It's nothing, probably just the wind." Oliver said. Alexia didn't say anything and tried not to be paranoid. 

"McKenna, Caroline, Elena, Rebekah, Kol, Stefan, and I are going in. The rest of you stay out here." Klaus said. 

Kol broke the chains off the cellar door and opened it. They walked down into the old Lockwood cellar. Klaus in lead. Each trying not to make a sound. Water droplets could be heard as they neared the opening. 

Esme quickly grabbed a potion she had made days before. She took the cap off the bottle and drank the potion. A red light traveled through the inside of her body, quickly healing her. She set the bottle down as she heard the footsteps behind her stop. 

"I was expecting you guys much later." She turned around. 

"Well, we wanted an early start." McKenna said. 

"It's all the same to me." Esme walked towards the Mikaelsons. "I've been planning my revenge for over 50,000 years. I'm prepared for anything and everything." 

To Be Continued...
