ReSumption✔️ (Book Three of ReIncarnated)

Chapter V: Tempers and Waiting

3rd POV-

Kai, Kol, Henrik and Finn all went went down the stairs of the house, looking between the study, where Elijah was, and the Art room, where Nik was. Finn moving instantly to the study.

"We should split up." Kai motioned. Kol nodding in agreement.

"Alright, fine. Kai and Kol- Niklaus. Henrik and I will go to Elijah." Finn said quickly before both him and Henrik moved into the study before anyone could argue. Kai and Kol looked shocked and uneasy, glancing at each other.

"So how aggressive is Niklaus?" Kai questioned as they moved to the art room. Kol let out a laugh, shaking his head.

"Ahh no, he's like a teddy bear. Super cuddly." He told him before opening the door and both of them entering the room.

"I wish to be left alone." Nik said as soon as the door closed behind them. Their eyes scanning around the room in shock. Paintings and sketches laid askew all over the floor, hanging on the walls. The individual pieces of work put together to make a portrait of Frankie.

"I didn't think you were this bad off-" Kol whispered, his eyes lingering on the several sketches of her brown eyes. Nik snapped his yellow eyes up, his pencil flinging from his hand and landing right into Kol's stomach causing him to grunt. Kai letting out a snort at the sight of the pencil sticking out of Kol's stomach.

"Ah yeah, big cuddly bear. I see it." He mocked as Nik threw a paint brush, Kai ducking right in time.

"LEAVE!" Nik yelled, his fangs extending as he stomped over some art, standing closer to them.

"Nik-" Kai ducked as Nik threw another pencil. "Dude, seriously!? I'm trying to tell you something!" Kai said with a screwed up face as Nik broke a easel, throwing a piece of the splintered wood towards him.

"I don't care to hear your blabbering words. Leave me alone." Nik seethed. Kol pulled a pencil out of the wall behind them, throwing it back at Nik.

"Niklaus! This is about Frankie." Kol snarled. Nik shook his head.

"No." He turned around only for Kai to flash over to him, placing his hand on Nik's arm, siphoning from him just enough to make him stop and grunt in pain.

"Listen to us." Kai spoke calmly. His voice cracking slightly. "Frankie is trapped in the Prison world. Do you want us to bring her back here only for her to think you are insane??" Kai released his hold on Nik, letting him breath.

"You're lying." Nik panted out. Lifting his head to meet the eyes of Kai and Kol.

"Why would we lie about something like this?" Kol questioned. Nik let out a deep breath, sitting up on his knees.

"What's your proof?" His eyes flashing to blue at the possible hope they were waving around in front of him.

"Your mother and my father both said something crazy." Kai started. "If a soulmate dies, the other is most likely to go insane-" Kai glanced at the paintings with a raised eyebrow. "And ends up killing themself. While I think you have defiantly lost it-" Kol elbowed Kai hard. "I don't think you plan to kill yourself. Because deep down you know there is still hope." Nik stared up at him as he felt the stinging of tears in his eyes.

"Also- Frankie is Kai's sire." Kol added, patting Kai's back aggressively. Kai rolled his eyes, shoving Kol away from him.

"Now that is some proof." Nik muttered, standing up with his head tilted. "Why didn't you lead with that?" He questioned before turning to Kai, grabbing a paint brush quickly and shoving it into his neck. "And don't ever siphon from me again." Kol let out a laugh as Kai grunted, pulling it out of his neck.

"Welcome to the family!" Kol chuckled, patting Kai again on the back earning him having the paint brush shoved into his thigh. "Rude." Kol grunted out with a smirk.

On the other side of the house, Henrik and Finn walked into the study. Elijah sitting in his chair flipping pages of his book.

"May I help you?" He asked, his voice holding a certain level of annoyance. Finn stepped forward.

"Malachai has proven that Frankie may still be alive." Elijah glanced up from his book, eyes meeting both of his brothers before glancing back down. A smile slowly spreading across his face.

"And what is this proof?" He questioned, turning the page of his book.

"Frankie is Kai's sire." Henrik stated, narrowing his eyes at his brother. "But you knew that.." Elijah looked up spotting the anger and confusion on Finn's face as he glanced between the two of them.

"You knew??" Elijah shook his head.

"I just found out this morning when I was reading. I was hoping someone else would figure it out before I had to talk Niklaus down myself." Elijah admitted, lifting his hand up to move his cuff of his shirt, glancing at his watch. "Just made it too, I was about to go tell him. Do we have a way to get to the prison world? I'm assuming that is where she has been."

"Kai's father is supposed to bring the ascendant to us." Elijah nodded at Henrik's words.

"Then we wait."
