ReSumption✔️ (Book Three of ReIncarnated)

Chapter IX: Trust

"So you do remember some things?" Kai questioned with excitement in his eyes. We were all currently sitting in the living room after getting Tucker to bed. Elijah walked over a glass of blood to me, thanking him in a small voice as I felt all the eyes on me.

"Uh- Yeah. Just a few things. Not much." I explained. Kai frowned, nodding. Finn moved closer to me, his arm wrapping around my shoulders and pulling me into him. I could only assume he could tell how I was feeling. The feeling of too much attention and being uncomfortable filling throughout me.

"And what is this that Finn speaks of? A memory we don't remember?" Elijah mentioned. His eyebrows furrowed as he looks between Finn to me and then to Kai lastly. Kai let out a snort.

"Can't believe I thought my father was bad. Your mother sounds...bitchy." He laughed, earning a few glares from Niklaus and Elijah. "But I did help our little Frankie remove the magical block." He bragged. He stepped over to Elijah wiggling his fingers at him. "I can always assist." Elijah sent him an unimpressed look.

"I'd rather you not mess with my mind." Elijah spoke simply, a slight tinge of disgust and untrusting in his voice. I stared at him as I felt Finn pull away from me.

"You can siphon from my mind." Finn volunteered. Kai turned to him, seeing him stand up from the couch. Elijah and Nik both stared at Finn in shock as Kol clapped his hands excitedly. Henrik just sat to the side, not really involved in this whole exchange. "If Frankie was able to trust him- we should too." He added as he noticed the odd looks he was receiving. I smiled at him, feeling special that he was trusting my judgment- even if it was a judgment I had before losing my memory.

"But he is her soulmate- he physically can't hurt her." Nik told him. I frowned, he was right. From what I've been told they cannot hurt me just like I cannot hurt them- physically. Mentally was free game.

"Well if he hurts me, wouldn't that hurt her?" Finn offered. Nik looked to Elijah- unsure if that was truly how it worked. Elijah only shrugged, unsure of it himself. Kai was smirking.

"Suppose it's worth testing the waters, isn't it? I promise not to push you too far." Kai taunted, walking to Finn. "Should we have a safe word? Or is that too fifty shades for you?" Kol was laughing into his hand at Kai's humor. Not knowing them well, I was still able to tell they were getting along the most. Kai glanced at me as I let out a small giggle, the smile on his face brightened his whole demeanor.

"Just get on with it." Finn muttered, already regretting volunteering. Kai shrugged, placing his hands on his head and the glow lighting up his hands. Instantly, Finn was grimacing from the pain. His eyes squeezed shut as he clenched his jaw and let out a hissing sound. His hands moved up to hold Kai in place though as his eyes snapped open, hazel eyes becoming foggy as what seemed to be a look of longing and excitement took the place of the pain. When Kai finally removed his hands, Finn was smiling. It was a weak smile, but it was one of pure happiness. "It's true.. We did meet first." He said as he turned to me, grabbing my hand and pulling me off the couch and into a hug. Elijah stood up, looking a bit jealous.

"Fine. But no funny business." He told Kai as he stepped over to him. Kai only grinned as he saw how happy I was with Finn remembering. Raising his hands to Elijah's head and repeating the same process. Elijah kept a pretty straight and stoic face during it, like he'd gone through worse, but as the memory revealed itself, his eyes widened. His hands clenched into fists, probably angered by the thought that his mother had taken away something so dear to him. The first meeting being an important part of anyones lives. "You were absolutely adorable as a child, Frankie." He complimented as Kai pulled away. I smiled at him as I was already sitting back down and finishing off the glass of blood I was given. Henrik stood up as he saw this.

"You should really get some rest, sweetheart. You've had a long and dramatic day. I'm sure you must be exhausted." He told me as he stepped pass his brother and grabbed my hand. I nodded as a yawn fought its way through.

"I was abruptly woken up this morning." I informed them. They all looked a bit guilty since it was so early when they had arrived for their rescue mission.

"We'll look in the library for some answers to why you have lost your memory while you rest, love." Nik told me as he stood up, walking up to me. He seemed unsure if I would want him near me, but smiled as I leaned up, pressing a short kiss to his cheek.

"Make sure to rest as well. You all need it as well." He nodded, a dreamy far off look in his blue eyes. Finn and Elijah came up to me, pressing a kiss to each of my cheeks as I smiled at the attention. Warmth spreading through me at their touch.

"Goodnight, Frankie." Elijah whispered as he pulled back. Finn adding his own, "Sweet dreams." To the mix. Kol ran up to me, pulling me from Henrik and hugging me tightly.

"Sleep well, darlin'." When he called me darlin', my stomach seemed to have grown wings as I felt flutters in there. Kai came up next, shoving Kol out of his way which earned his an elbow to his back. He ignored him though, wrapping his arms around me and hugging me to his chest.

"Sweet dreams of me, Angel." He whispered, pulling back as he kissed the corner of my lips, throwing a wink at me. I laughed at his words, shaking my head as I followed Henrik up the stairs, leaving my mates to find a solution for me for I was far too tired to try to help. Sleep took me the second Henrik kissed me goodnight, leaving me to rest alone as he went downstairs to help his brothers- and Kai.
