Like Father Like Daughters

Bursting into my daughters bedroom the door's almost broke off the hinges by how angry I was. "What the hell were you all thinking last night!"

"Mom, please don't be mad but it was to get Elijah's memory back. And to get our family back together like we are now." Alina raised her voice at me getting up from the bed.

Missy and Hope remained sitting where they were at. But my youngest spoke up. We wanted our family back together, mom."

"Girls urgh! Do you have any idea what putting that power back into yourselves could do? That it could kill you!" Covering my face with my hands I grumble loudly in annoyance.

Hope snapped back at me thinking that it would make this better. "We spared Henrik and Andrea."

"Oh well then I should jump for joy." I clapped my hands together with a sarcastic tone. "All because you spared your brother and cousin even though you forgot that this can kill you!"

Klaus vamped into the room aboto raise his voice until he saw something running down Hope's arm. "When did this start happening?"

"Shortly after we took the power back, why?" She yanked her arm away.

Yet he grabbed her wrist holding it out for my viewing. "Oh we're so screwed." I cursed under my breath seeing the same black veins that I had dealt with years ago before we knew I was pregnant too

Rushing into the bathroom I threw my head down into the toilet for the fourth time today. Familiar hands pulled my hair away from my mouth hearing me lightly crying. "I've got ya, Rae. Let it all out...Shhh I'm here."

"Ohh Nik. I'm so terrified right now." Lifting my head up I wiped my mouth with a rag pressing my body against his chest still crying. "I feel like I'm dying...."

He put his thumb and index finger under my chin turning my head so I was forced to look into his blue eyes. "Listen to me, Raelyn Lane. You are not dying. Not while I am still alive and kicking."

"But every time I do magic these....get worse!" Yanking up the sleeve of one of his Henry shirts I was wearing I bared my teeth. My hair was slightly in front of my eyes and my shirt was stained with my tears.

He slowly cups my face in his hands with his thumbs running over the fallen tears. His blue eyes focused on mine. "Rae, I promise you that nothing bad is going to happen to you. We will get through this. You're not going to die on me."

"I don't wanna die, Nik. I don't...wanna die!" Throwing my arms around his neck I buried my face into his shoulder. He tugged me to sit on his lap while he wrapped his arms around my waist. My fingers are gripping onto the fabric of his shirt.

Brushing my fingers over the lines on Hope's arm I felt some tears falling down my face at remembering what that was like. Klaus and I both met the others' gaze before we whipped our heads around seeing Missy holding her head in agony. "Shut up, shut up, shut up! Incendia!" She throws her hands up towards the bed frame setting it on fire.

"Melissa! What the bloody hell was that for?" Klaus dropped Hope's arm focused on his now heretic daughter.

She dropped her hands at her side, falling to sit on the floor. Alina moved around the bed frame lowering herself on her knees holding her shoulders. "Hey, everything is okay ... .dad ever since we took the power back..we keep hearing whispers in our ears and they don't stop."

"Is this the rest of our life? A rage that can only be quieted by violence?" Hope spat, turning her head back to me and Nik.

Reaching down I grasped his hand in mine looking up at my husband smirking wickedly. "Hope, if violence is what you need to feel better, then you have the perfect parents." Klaus grinned the same expression back to our other two daughters.
