No one tells you how much things will hurt when those you love most are ripped from your life. It's been seven years since Hope and Henry Mikaelson have laid eyes on their parents. The absence of their family had fueled the Mikaelson children to sto...
This was a fun chapter to write. I hope you all enjoy it.
Henry's POV
"I don't understand why I can't remember more." Sebastian shares as he struggles to understand what happened 500 years ago. "Casandra, she was my great love." He shares.
"Homegirl summoned a demon to snuff you out, though." Kym points out.
"Had she known it was me, I believe she would have done things differently." Sebastian explains.
"Maybe you should have just been honest with the lady instead of skulking around here like Dracula." M.G. comments and Sebastian rushes at him, but the chains keep him from getting too close.
"A lesson in being honest about a woman one fancies is particularly ironic coming from you, Milton." Sebastian's eyes are red with veins underneath his eyes, lusting for blood.

"Sit down now." Henry orders him.
"Or what, you'll bite me again?" Sebastian questions.
"Don't test me." Henry's eyes glow bright gold.
"Guys, let's not fi..." M.G. and Sebastian fall to the ground.
"What the hell?" Kym shouts, worried about what's happening. It didn't take long for M.G. to come to. "Are you okay? Your skinny ass dropped like a bag of hammers." Kym tells M.G. as Henry helps his friend to the couch.
"I felt like I was...hit by a spell." M.G. shares. "Like the mother of all spells. And then there was..." M.G. looks at Henry, and his eyes widen. "Hope. You...you have an older sister named Hope who..."
"Everyone forgot because she thought she put a stop to Malivore rising." Henry shares, confirming what M.G. saw.
"I remember now, too." Sebastian chimes in. "Where there were but fragments, I now see the whole story. About Cassandra, the monster. How we killed it. She gave me this, this token." He holds out a necklace. "She said it would protect me."
"From the monster?" M.G. asks.
"No from the colony leadership. They asked Cassandra to find the monster that was...that was terrorizing them." Sebastian chuckles at the irony. "But she did love me. So she summoned something even...worse. Something that would ferret out the lies those Puritan hypocrites were concealing from the rest of the village. Keep them from finding me."
"Then the Croatoan went ham." Kym states. "Wiped everyone out."
"Yeah, as you well know, Milton and Henry. Everybody lies." Sebastian addresses them. "When I found out what Cassandra was plotting, I tried to stop her. She was keeping my secret. I feared that she'd become a target. So she desiccated me...to keep me safe. In the state, I watched the Croatoan tear her limb from limb before she would dispel it. Unable to help her as she died." Sebastian sheds a tear as he relives his most painful memory.
