Mama Tribrid of New Orleans

Chapter Forty Four - Beth's Love

-3rd Person-

"Pick up the damn phone Beth. Finn is trying to find Hope and Daniel." he jogged down the stairs back into the courtyard and hung up.

"They're safe. You know Beth's spell is powerful it would take a hundred, a thousand witches to break through her spell." Rebekah tried to reassure her brother

"I would have said the same about mother finding you. Yet a flock of starlings later and here we are." Nik rants

"We won't let him get to them Nik. But you need to remain calm." Bekah continues

"Our brother doesn't do calm!" Kol storms in and throws some powder at Rebekah making her drop to the floor. Holding the diamond he made Klaus choke up blood. "Oh, you're angry, are you? Well join the party I've been here a thousand years!" Nik dropped to his knees

"I was building that dagger to protect myself against you, Nik. I'm not the bad guy in this chapter of our family's story. I'm the wronged. I'm the dead but never mourned. Whilst you got everything you ever wanted. I got a family who didn't care if i lived or if I died." Kol shouted

"Oh shut up!" Nik snarled then using his speed grabbed Kol by the threat and pushed him up against the wall. "We've all suffered. We've all been wronged."

"Go on, finish it off. Go on, kill me!" Kol told him. But Nik let him go instead

"I'm not going to kill you, you idiot. Despite your behaviour you're still my brother." Nik replied stepping away.

"The brother that you dagger repeatedly."  Kol breathes

"I've daggered all of you! Each for your own good. If you don't agree with my motives, fine. I've never claimed to be the bastion of temperance. But stop this drivel about being singled out and unloved. You are a Mikaelson, you are my blood and I need you. I need you by my side. By our side."Klaus kneels down "Or do you so easily forget the woman who stands by your side even in this moment of fracture between siblings"

"Your right. but what do you even mean? You talk about family. Family this, family that. You weren't even the one to share the secret were you. You didn't trust me enough with helping to protect my own nieces and nephew. There is only one person in this world, in this life that protects me and she's not here right now."

"Says who?" a voice questioned

-Beth-

I drop my back and run over to Nik and Kol I help Kol up and look between them.

"Someone care to explain? Kol I thought you were waiting for me elsewhere?" I question folding my arms "And why is Rebekah unconscious?"

"Finn wants your blood. Both of yours in fact. He promised to heal me if i delivered at least Nik's." Kol admitted

"You know where he is?" Nik asked

"Will you trust me for once I am on your side. I will stand by you. I promise." He pleaded with Nik

"You would risk your life to help me?" Nik wondered

"I know enough about dark magic to know that I'm hexed. There is no reversing what Finn's done to me, no matter how much you want to try, darling." he held onto my cheek "This makes him a murderer  and a liar. And if I'm gonna die I'll be damned if he gets what he wants. And I would never forgive myself if I didn't help you protect my niece and nephew."

"Finn has been dead to me for a long time. Tonight, I intend to make it official. I may not trust you in many ways but even I would be a fool not to notice your motives." I felt both turn their eyes to me but I dare not say anything right now.

"He'll be in the bell tower of the St. Louis Cathedral." Kol tells Nik then takes his brothers hands placing them on his head "Go inside my head. Find the spell and finish this." Nik did so.
