[10]

Garmr pov.

"Humph, Papa and his mates are at it again, I think I'll go for a hunt." Garmr says to himself as he opens the door with his muzzle, 'I better be careful not to wake sleeping Mama...she can be scarry...I'd rather wake up Papa.' Garmr says as he looks over his flank.

"Hmm, Papa's youngest pack members are going for a hunt too, but where are there sticks that make that whoosh sound as they make other stick fly through the air? I better follow them and keep them safe like Papa would." Gar nods to himself as he keeps his distance tracking the little one and the one that always smells like crushed flowers.

"Grr, those one's that are wrong…" Garmr growls as he smells werewolves his pace becomes quicker as he sneaks behind the pups of the pack, and lays down watching over them protectively.

"FATHER, VIDAR HELP VIDAR FATHER HELP IT'S HENRIK ! ! !" I startle awake in bed hearing screaming coming from outside, with a snoring Rebekah on top of me with my cock inside of her as I was still laying between Ayana's legs with her breasts acting as my pillow.

Glaring angrily as Freya was just about to suck me off in our dreamscape, when the voice came again.

"VIDAR HELP ME ! ! !" I hear Niklaus's anguish filled voice and I stand up from the bed catching Rebekah and laying her down on Ayana as I grab a pair of trousers and my sword running into my pants whipping my sword from its sheath to stop dead in my tracks at a torn up and bloody Henrik being carried in Niklaus's arms.

'Nononononononono, I should have kept a closer eye on them fuck…I don't know if I can bring him back.' I start to panic in my mind as I take Henrik's body from Klaus as he falls to his knees, I hear Klaus shout in fear and start to make excuses.

"Father! Father, the wolves, it was the wolves, they killed him, we went to watch the shift from a distance and they chased us down and killed him."

"You never should have gone to watch you craven fucking child!" I bellow making Klaus reel back as if I'd struck him as I never ever raised my voice when dealing with my little siblings.

Mikael slowly walks over to us like myself shirtless bootless holding his sword, Klaus sniveling tries to crawl to him only for Mikael to punch Niklaus in the face and drop to his knees on the other side of Henrik as I gently set him down on the ground, Mikael has tears streaming down his face as his eyes start to dull.

"My son…can you do it, can you bring him back like Ayana?" Mikael asks me his voice so hollow and broken I can tell he has little hope of my spell succeeding.

'Fuck I don't even know if he's a witch…' I curse in my mind as I draw a soul from my sword and start changing the spell.

'Come on come on Work…please just work…I know I'm within the 24 hour restraint and Henrik's body's is intact even if his belly is ripped open and parts of his organs have been eaten…but please all father, god here my prayers and allow Henrik to come back…I'll send you a thousand souls for his life.' I pray in my head as my vision blurs with tears and my nostrils sting, I feel a hand cover my that's holding my sword and feel Esther channeling her magic into my spell, a sense of revolution hits me like a tidal wave and I want to pull away but I can't as it will break the spell.

No sooner than I feel the spell sink in, Henrik jolts up right, gasping for air. I drop my sword and hug him tightly while two other pairs of arms hug us as well.

I hear gasps from my family, and Mikael whispering "by the all father."

"Vidar?" Henrik calls out to me as he shifts in my hold and hugs me, "Thank you big brother it was so cold and dark there, until I felt you reaching out for me." Henrik sobs as he presses his face to my bare chest.

"Shh, shh it's alright Henrik you're safe, you're home." I comfort the boy as I rub his back which is a little difficult with the death grip Esther and Mikael seem to have us in.

Henrik starts to calm down and moves from hugging me to hugging Mikael letting me slip away feeling dirty from Esther's touch, Esther reaches out for my hand, I pull mine away from her's. "Thank you Vidar." Esther says to me in a small voice as she looks up at me with a look that fills me with complicated feelings.

'Why couldn't you look at me like that 20 years ago you fucking bitch?' I ask in my mind as I turn away so I don't kill Esther before she can turn me into a vampire.

I see Henrik release Mikael as Esther pulls Henrik to her chest and starts running her hands over him, but Klaus chooses the worst time to speak…though his voice sounds distant, almost like he's in shock or reliving the attack.

"Father…it was the wolves."

Mikael doesn't speak as he whips around and tackles Nik to the ground and sits on his stomach and starts to move to hit him.

"THIS IS YOUR FAULT BOY, YOU DID THIS ! ! !" Mikael roars like a mad beast as his fists start to move, in the direction of Henrik's face but I move on instinct and tackle Mikael off of Nik and pin his arms down to his side.

"YOU PROTECT HIM AFTER WHAT HE'S DONE ! ! !" Mikael snarls at me as I hold him still as he uselessly thrashes underneath me.

"Father, Niklaus carries some of the blame, he never should have allowed Henrik out…but the responsibility falls on us and the mindless mutts who did this." I say calmly to Mikael most of the fight and anger leaving his eyes at me words only added by a shakily walking Henrik being held up by Rebekah and Esther.

"Father it is not Nik's fault I threatened him into allowing me to accompany him…with the threat of you." Henrik says softly like a scolded and remorseful child…that he is.

"Is this true? BOY, answer me!" Mikael asks Nik who is trembling under mine and Mikael's gazes.

"Answer Father's question Niklaus." I tell him in a gentler voice as he hugs himself like he's cold.

"I-it's true, brother…father, I didn't want Henrik to accompany me…but I didn't want to draw your ire Father, father brother I never…I never thought that this would happen they moved so fast…" Niklaus says softly while his eyes develop a long off stare…some refer to it as a thousand yard stare, me I had seen it a lot in the few old warriors in the village.

"Please Father, brother don't blame Nik." Henrik pleads with both of us and I sigh…softly as I don't blame Nik not really. 

'I just hope…my actions today won't alter the future too much.' I mutter in my mind as I turn to look at Mikael seeing he's calmed down. I stand up and offer him a hand up. 

Mikael takes my proffered hand and I lift him to his feet and Mikael pulls me into a hug. 

"My son…thank you." Mikael says to me his voice is so cracked that I can barely understand him as he cries a bit and I pat his back as my eyes moisten a bit as well.

"Father, what I did can not be repeated too many times. It only works once per person and…it's meant for creatures of the supernatural...there could be repercussions for using it on Henrik, we need to come up with a way to protect our family." I say softly and I feel Mikael nod in understanding. 

"I know my son…will you work together with Esther and Ayana to come up with a way?" Mikael asks me softly as we break apart.

"I'll assist Ayana." I reply to Mikael a little more chilly than I meant it to as I walked of only to hear a bark from the main gate and whip my head around to see and injured Garmr, limping into the village his fur matted with blood. 

"Gar." I gasp as I start running to my pup, and slide down on my knees and hug my pup. 

"Awe, my poor baby." I whisper as Gar whimpers and presses his nose against my cheek, and I run my hands through his fur finding through touch multiple bite and claw marks, and I pick him up gently carrying him home. 

"Gar!" I hear Henrik shout in concern as the boy hobbles over to me.

"Thank you for trying to save me Gar." Henrik thanks and reaches out to pet him but stops and Gar leans forward and licks Henrik's outstretched hand.
