The Third Salvatore {N.K.Mikaelson Fanfic}

🦋52. It was all for her🦋

{Re~edited 8/28/21}

I woke up to Caroline and Tyler walking into the house. Caroline has a laptop in her hands while Tyler has the sword wrapped in a blanket. I look for Nik and sees that he's sitting on the coffee table. "Good morning guys." I said yawning wrapping the blanket around me tighter.

"Morning love, your friend Caroline got you this blanket from upstairs you feeling well?" He asked as he lifts my head up and sits on side of me, placing my head on his lap.

"We've been stuck here for three days I need a shower and a real bed." I look over towards Kol body and sighs. "We need to bury him properly."

"Agreed." He kisses my temple and I look towards the others who completely ignored my good morning so I placed the blanket back over my head. "Well, if it isn't little orphan Lockwood. Come to show how laughably impotent you are against me?" Nik said rubbing my back. We've been stuck here for 2-3 days with no food and no shower and this man still as all the strength in the world, AND HE STILL SMELLS AMAZING.

"I'm just trying to help my friends find the cure." Caroline sits on the couch, and Tyler reveals the sword from the blanket. "Found this in your attic."

"And you think finding the sword brings you closer to the cure?" Nik asked and I lift my head up to see.

"You tell me. I was playing around with the handle on the ride over, and I found this."  Tyler unwraps the leather on the top of the sword, revealing some sort of turning device. Klaus gently lays my head on a pillow, gets up and walks over to Tyler.

"And what do you think 'this' is?" Nik asked as I place the blanket back over my head and groan.

Caroline gets up. "It's called a cryptex." Tyler looks at her. "I've seen The da Vinci Code. You turn the different sides to the different symbols to get the translation on the other side." She then turns back to the table. "And with the magic of the internet, Elena sent over these." She holds up print-outs of Jeremy's tattoo. "So now all we have to do is cryptex away." She sits down again and I finally get up and walk over to them. "If you happened to want to help, we wouldn't stop you." She looks at me and smiles. "Either of you and Good morning, I did hear you."

"Right. Well, might I suggest using the magic of the internet to purchase an Aramaic-to-English dictionary from your nearest retailer." Klaus smirks and I smile.

Tyler turns to Caroline with a confused look. "What's Aramaic?"

"It's a dead language. It hasn't been used since, like, biblical times." Care answered.

"Qetsiyah's native tongue, I'm guessing. You know, even if you had the best dictionary in the world, it could take days to translate." He grabs my waist and sits me down with him. "Perhaps weeks. In bas so-teen-"

"too ara-ma-eet." I finished and Nik smirks at me and I smirk back.

"What does that mean?" Care asked and I shrug my shoulders.

Klaus grins then looks back at her. "If only you spoke Aramaic."

~Time Skip~

I was flipping through the channels on the TV when Nik took the remote and turned it off. I've been watching Spongebob Squarepants for the longest and he had just about enough.

"I'm done listening to a goddamn sponge be happy all the bloody time." Nik groaned as he rubbed his temples. I looked up at him and smiled

"Who lives in a pineapple under the sea.." I started to sing from his lap. He looked down and me and rolled his eyes. "Come on finish it." I poked his stomach and he slapped my hands away. "Come on pleaseeee." I pouted with a puppy dog face. "Who lives in a pineapple under the sea."
