《Home | The Originals》Chapter 91: Avenge Us
Advertisement
(As an apology for being MIA for months here is another episode for you guys. Good news, while I have been gone, I've been trying to find a job so I can start working and ya girl finally landed a job)
I feel off. Besides what happened last night at the ritual I should be fine, but I don't feel like it. It's like my stomach all of a sudden feels empty like a pit of black hole begging to be filled with something, anything.
I felt my jacket get pulled and I looked down at Angel as she stares up at me. "When are we leaving?" She asked.
I pat her head before gently shoving my finger into her hair. "Soon once everyone gathered all the things they need." I answered.
Angel didn't say anything for a while as she just stare into my eyes. "Why are your eyes blue?" She suddenly ask me.
I completely froze when she asked me that. I whoosh to a mirror on a wall to see my eyes are back to their baby blue color. I look back towards Angel and she had a confused look on her face as she stares at me. "Uh, I was using my magic to change my eye color, love. It's just for fun." I quickly lied. "Why don't you go find your siblings and keep them entertained before we leave." I encouraged her and she did exactly as I said.
~~~
I went to my shop that's been closed down and got all the things I needed to purify me. I believe we never truly stopped the Hollow and now it's anchored to not just me, but to Nik and Marcel as well.
I was walking down the street back to the Compound and I sense someone walking right next to me. I looked down to see it was Rose and I completely stop my movement.
"What are you doing here?" I asked her with a pinch of fear in my tone of voice.
"Is it so wrong to see my mother again?" She asked me.

"But you moved on. You found peace." I rebuttal.
"Just because I found peace doesn't mean I don't want revenge." She said. I ignored her and continued walking. "Let's not forget I died for someone who has been treating you like you're nothing and that same person took your home away from you. Shouldn't you just end him once and for all and reclaim your home?" Rose asked.
"I've made enough enemies in my lifetime and I don't need anymore. I have a family to protect and their is no more room for more enemies." I said as I picked up the pace but she kept up with me.
"And yet those enemies have yet to attack because they know how strong you are. Yes I have more siblings but that only cause you to have more weaknesses. You should do something to ensure our family stay safe forever." Rose said.
"I don't have to listen to this nonsense. Just because I have so many kids doesn't mean it will be easier to get to me. It will be a cold day in hell before someone touches them." I stopped walking to look down at Rose. "Now leave me alone." I threatened.
Rose smiles up at me. "Where else can I go mom. I'm only inside your head." She said. A random person walked in front of Rose before she disappeared from my sight. I shook my head and continued on my way back to the Compound.
~~~
I finally made it to the Compound but I stopped once again as I saw Eric's face staring straight at me. I didn't move, just waiting to see what he would do. You would think after seeing your first live again, you would be jumping for joy. But not me. I accepted the fact that he is dead, just like Rose.
"I know you're just the Hollow, you're not real." I said keeping my ground but the hair on the back of my neck stood extremely up when he started to walk towards me.

"If I wasn't real I wouldn't be able to do this." Eric grabbed the back of my head and kissed me. I didn't kiss back. The fact that it's him and that he is dead was never going to leave my mind.
I pushed him away and shook my head. "No. Don't do that. I'm engaged and your dead." I said as tears start to form in my eyes.
"Just because I'm dead and you've moved on doesn't mean I'll ever stop loving you." Eric said as he moved closer to me again. "All I want is for you to admit that you still love me and to avenge me." He said and places my hand over his heart.
I stare back at him angrily. "I don't want to avenge you, just move on!" I scream as I unconsciously push my hand into his chest and rip his heart out.
I quickly dropped the heart as I watch Eric's body fall to the floor. What did I do? I went down to my knees and pushed Eric on his back only to move back away from it. That was not Eric. Just a random person.
~~~
I made my way into me and Klaus rooms and locked the door so I won't be interrupted. Before I could began I see Klaus walk in from the bathroom. "What are you doing love?" He asked me.
"I am trying to purify me and if it works I can purify you and Marcel. So we can be safe from the Hollow." I said.
I started chanting only to come up with that it didn't work. "It didn't work." I said out loud. "It just wants me to kill Marcel."
Klaus grabbed my head. "We have to get rid of the Hollow and if it means killing Marcel then that's exactly what you're going to do. And when that happens, just remember that you promised me that you will fight for us, for me, for our family." Nik said and I nodded my head. "I'll be right by your side, helping you." He told me before I blinked my eyes and all of a sudden he wasn't there anymore. I didn't really question the fact that I didn't feel his hands leave my face. I just got up and whooshed away trying to find Marcel and end my suffering.
~~~
I finally located where Marcel was but Elijah and Freya was here as well. I went up to Freya's right side and joined in her chanting to get inside the house.
When the barrier came down Elijah was quick to get inside and so was I. He shoved Marcel off of Nik and into the abandoned kitchen. I look down a hallway to see Eric and Rose standing there. "Avenge us" they said in my head since their mouth had never moved.
Marcel quickly overpowered Elijah and I whooshed towards them and grabbed Marcel my his neck and held him against a wall.
"I should have killed you years ago. My daughter died for nothing when she saved you that day and my husband died in vain. I should kill you now." I whisper the last part. Before anything else could happen I swiftly snapped Marcel's neck and let his body fall to the ground. "But I have moved on from their death. They found peace."
I felt arms wrapped around and I didn't need to look up to know that it was Nik who was hugging me. We walked to another hallway and I see this black smoke floating in the air in front of the blue light. Someone was in the smoke because the shape of an arm was formed when it looked like it turned around to face us.
"Leave my family alone!" Freya yelled out and she threw a bottle at the smoke.
The black smoke started to do this high pitch scream and it was slowly hurting my ears to the point I put my hands over them to lessen the sound.
