Fighting The Devil (Edited)

(Erik POV)

"It seems you know the basic story of my death, as a human... But regardless... I saw a kindred in you that I have rarely seen and I thought why not give a little push to a certain beast? So, I whispered into his mind, convincing him to give into his bloodlust when I knew your lover Tatia was it.... Yes, that was it Tatia was coming to see him apparently, she was worried about you. And when she came across Elijah, he was neck-deep in bloodlust. Slaughtering all those around him... Then she ran after catching his attention... He chased her like a hunting hound does its master's prey. Playing with her, but not going for the kill till... She came to where you found them. There he ripped into her... When you came and ripped him off of her, you killed your first person. A purely innocent woman whose only sin was loving a newborn monster. That is when you were marked as mine. See I have a plan to take the souls that the Scion of the Bennett witch line has denied me. The other side is a place that keeps all those of the evil supernatural away from where they belong... THEY BELONG TO ME, TO HELL."

As Cade finished speaking, I was blasted into a tree just by him looking at me and then the tree. He slowly stalks towards me and says.

"YOU CALL ME THE SELF-PROCLAIMED DEVIL.... TRUST ME CHILD IN HERE... I AM GOD."

As his face goes from the actual face of Cade to a freshly burned face with chard black skin peeling off. Blood began to leak from under the peeling skin and his eyes were orange-yellow.

(Elijah POV)

It has been a few hours since Erik has... Has, I don't know. He is grey like a stone. He has black lines traveling up his body. Like his veins have all dried up. Rebekah and Lilly have been crying over his desiccated body since we moved him to his chambers. Finn and Kol are reading through Mother's Grimoire. Klaus left to clear his head and calm himself at not being able to feel anything from his twin for the second time in their life. I don't know what to do or how to help the brother that I took so much from already. So, I walk up to Erik and put my hands on either side of his head, I started to pray to the gods while whispering.

"Stay with us, brother. I know you said you hold no love for me anymore and that you wished me nothing but pain and misery. But the idea of you dying, of leaving us brings more pain than I think any of us can deal with. So whatever is holding you, baby bother, fight it... No one knows the power you hold more than me brother, use it to come back to us... You are-"

(Erik POV)

"You are Erik Mikaelson the Original Tribrid."

I was getting stabbed repeatedly by Cade holding a branch of the white oak stake inside his plane of existence. While being held against the tree itself, when I heard Elijah projecting himself into my mind and in turn my soul projection inside Cades Hellscape heard his whisper.

Looking up at Cade I let my true face show and jerk my head to the right. Cade goes flying into the forest landing hard against the trees he did hit. I dropped to the ground, then slowly stand up looking towards where Cade was sent. Just for him to materialize like a damn teleporter behind me with an iron sword that looked beautifully forged. He slashes at my neck at the last second, I roll forward and kick underneath his hand holding his blade as I am mid-roll. Forcing the blade to go flying and spin in the air until it makes its return trip back down. As I end my roll and spin around on my knees then catch the blade with the hand that is behind my back.

With my head bowed I slowly stood, just as Cade materialized another identical blade. I look up with my hybrid face showing and roar a guttural demonic roar at him.

"GRAAR."

subconsciously using the dark magic, I siphoned off my curse and sent a wave of power in all directions. Cracking the hellscape, I then charge at Cade, who does the same. We meet in the middle with a resounding clash as our swords repeatedly bash against each other.

We end up in a sword lock and he goes to try to throw me with his mind again. Instinctively I grabbed ahold of his neck and started to siphon his power and in turn the power of any magical human in his dimension. I say as I raise him in the air with one hand and my other stabbed through his heart.

"YOU ARE NO GOD."

(Juliette POV)

I awaken inside my room. I instantly can hear the heartbeats that Erik told me he could constantly hear throughout the castle. When my hand goes to my neck, I gasp at the sensation of my hand gliding over my skin. Opening my eyes I see that Erik has left. Probably to try and break his curse. Then panic hits me. I bolt out of bed and get ready to find him.

"Princess Juliette, Lord Erik asked me to stay with you and to let you feed on me"

Jumping I spin towards the door and see a servant who is standing perfectly still with glossed-over eyes as she sliced into her jugular.

I take a breath in through my nose and smell the scent of blood. It is almost as intoxicating as being with my love. I rush to her in the blink of an eye and bite into her neck, right where she cut. I drink deeply and sloppily.

When I finished the body dropped to the ground and I moaned as my teeth grew and I felt a rush of power throughout my body.

I change into a dress that doesn't have blood all over it and pick one of the few red ones. I walk in the opposite direction of the gardens because I feel a pull towards the guest quarters. I end up in front of Erik's room and just as I open the door, I see Erik lying on his bed his skin is grey as stone with black lines slithering throughout his body. With both his sisters sitting on either side of him holding his hands. Elijah and Klaus are sitting in the corner looking like their whole life has ended. On the other side of the room, the last two siblings are looking over an old-looking book that is very thick. I look back at Erik just as his beautiful green eyes open with a gasp of air. Then his eyes became the most enticing golden yellow with veins under his eyelids.
