68 Dahlia

Rebekah confronted Nevan again while he was eating- "You actually ate it, I can't believe you would steal food from your baby."

Nevan rolled his eyes- "Hey want to go meet your father," he asked trying to change the subject.

Rebekah went quiet before muttering- "I'm not ready for that."

Nevan- "Alright then, what do you want to do now? Dahlia isn't due to arrive in, well I'm not sure when she'll get here, but we have time to kill, want to go on a date?" In the back of his head hoping that this will appeal to her and make her forget any wrongdoing, he's done of late.

Rebekah exclaimed- "Yes!" holding out her arms.

Nevan smiled as he went to pick her up.

________________________________

The rest of the Mikaelson's were at the New Orleans home discussing the coming of Dahlia, excluding Mikael and Rebekah who was on a date with Nevan.

Niklaus glaring at Freya asked- "What are you doing here?"

Freya- "Please brother, whatever problems you have with father has nothing to do with me, I am simply here to help you and Hope with Dahlia, she is what we need to focus on, her strength is far superior to anyone I've ever seen before, we need to work together to stop her."

Niklaus sneered but kept quiet, agreeing to the fact that when Dahlia comes he would need allies against her to protect Hope.

He wasn't about to risk the life of his daughter, he still cared for her despite the questioning thoughts he's been having of late due to the many recent defeats eating away at him.

Elijah who felt like he had even more at stake then Niklaus spoke first- "We are all here for one reason and one reason alone and that is to defeat Dahlia, let us focus on that and put the rest behind us for now."

Kol- "Aye, I agree with that."

Hayley- "Yes we must protect Hope."

Niklaus- "So tell us what we need to know Freya."

Freya- "Sure, but what about Rebekah, where is she?"

Niklaus sneered again while Elijah answered before he could go on a rant- "Hopefully...(looking at Niklaus)...She is confronting Nevan about his recent activity and getting to the bottom of things."

Freya confused asked- "Getting to the bottom of what?"

Niklaus angrily replied- "Getting to the bottom of finding out why he was working with our father to kill me! Tell me are you also working with Mikael?"

Freya frowned- "He is my father and I love him, I am not working with him to do anything."

Elijah- "Are you aware of what he's done?"

Freya- "I don't wish to talk about this, what you see him as and what I see him as are two different things and won't change through discussion."

Niklaus snorted- "How can we trust you?"

Freya- "I just want the family I never had, as for trust, you can trust that I want Dahlia dead just as much as the rest of you."

Hayley growing tired of the useless bickering spoke up- "Enough, we're here for Dahlia, not to talk about Mikael."

Kol- "I second that."

Elijah- "Yes, tell us Freya what you know about her and what we need to do to prepare."

Freya- "Dahlia is a wicked, selfish, manipulative, and spiteful woman..."

Kol interrupted with a laugh- "So another Niklaus, but who's a witch."

Niklaus shouted- "Kol if you don't want to be here feel free to leave, it wouldn't be the first time."

Elijah- "Enough, we are here to protect your daughter Niklaus and we are to protect any future family you might have Kol, so enough."

Hayley sighed- "Can't this family ever be together without fighting?"

Seeing them keep quiet Elijah gestured to Freya- "If you would please continue."

Freya- "The most important thing to note besides her massive power, she wields only dark magic, meaning she is also the deadliest with you will ever face, I have sent father to gather the ingredients we'll need to create a weapon to kill her, but we'll still need a plan to get close enough to use it."

"So this is the place, I can sense Freya here as well, oh not just Freya, it seems I'll be having a family reunion all that's missing is Esther," said Dahlia a brunette with brown eyes, which contrasted greatly with her younger sister Esther's light blonde hair. Her cold brown eyes were an indicator of her cruel, apathetic personality. She shared some resemblance with her nephews Finn, Elijah, Kol and Henrik in their coloring.

Nowadays she was usually seen in long, flowing coats, long-sleeved blouses, fitted pants, and high heeled boots. Her medium-length brown hair was styled in gentle waves, and she had an affinity for wearing multiple rings with large gemstones.

"This placed is filled with vampires and witches it seems, the wolves hanging around the edges seem to be outcasts, what to do, what to do? Should I just go straight for the child or should I say hi to Freya and capture her again."

As she concentrated more in her scouting she soon spotted something very unusual. There was a creature she didn't quite recognize, it seemed to be related to the wolves but was very different.

Hayley was a strange thing when she first spotted her, but she soon realized she was a new creature formed of wolf and vampire, a sort of hybrid, but what she was seeing now, while she got the feeling of a wolf it made her feel small and insignificant.

"How can I be feeling this away about something, even those powerful creatures hiding in the dark never gave me such a feeling, maybe this won't be as simple as I first thought if that thing comes into play."

Thinking more about it as she focused all her concentration on it, she was so distracted she failed to realize Rebekah was with it at first.

"Well it seems Rebekah is with it and what's this, she seems not to be just a vampire anymore, what the heck happened while I slept, first a hybrid and now whatever this thing is and it seemed to change Rebekah into something of a similar nature, I feel she's now a wolf, but still a vampire, but not a hybrid, very strange."

and then it clicked, "I know that feeling, he's an Original just like the rest of them, but far older, and happens to be of wolf nature and something else what is it...Natural, he feels natural, not created like the vampires...

...well now this is a very big surprise indeed, I'll have to work in my plans to capture him and find out what he's all about, I could use Rebekah as bait since they are so close."
