《The Innocent Salvatore (Niklaus, Elijah and Kol)》Chapter 20
Advertisement
Walking through the doors of the plantation house, Rebekah is instantly tackled into a hug. It only takes a second before a smile lights up Rebekahs' face and she tightly wraps her arms around the blonde. Rebekah had been staying in France for a little while, to get away from the 'Mikaelson' drama. She had only just come back when she found out that Angel was pregnant.
At first, Rebekah was hurt she hadn't been told sooner. Then she remembered that Angel didn't have a phone, and her brothers weren't the best at communicating. Although, that was in the past. She was here now, and she was ready to help.
"Angel, Dear. I see some things have changed." Rebekah tells Angel with a smirk as she pulls away from the hug, holding Angel at arm's length to look her over. At those words, a blush forms on Angels face as she looks to her feet.
"Yeah," Angel mumbled sheepishly. Placing a hand on her small bump before looking back up at Rebekah. "You could say that."
Letting out a laugh, Rebekah smiles at the blond. "I say a shopping trip is in order. My little niece or nephew deserves the best." Rebekah tells Angel, linking their arms together. Rebekah thought a shopping trip would be perfect. Knowing her brothers, Angel hadn't been able to leave the house much since finding out she was pregnant.
"No, Rebekah," Elijah says. Speaking up for the first time since his sister had arrived. "It's not safe." He tells the blondes, walking over to them and pulling Angel into his arms.
"I have to agree, Sister," Kol adds. Walking over to them as well. "You know how many enemies we Mikaelsons have, it's not safe for her out there." He tells her, grabbing Angel's hand.
"Brothers! I'll be with her the whole time, what could go wrong?" Rebekah asks. She was an original for god's sake, and there was no way she wouldn't do everything in her power to protect her best friend and the unborn child.
"Please?" Angel begs, turning around in Elijah's arms to look at her mates. "We were going out anyway, maybe Rebekah and I could just go out instead? We would only be shopping at the mall. Please Elijah, Kol." Angel asks them, pulling out her puppy dog eyes for extra effect.
Angel watches with a tiny smile as a thinking expression appears on both their faces, a victorious smirk appearing on Rebekahs. Got them.
"Fine," Elijah states after he and Kol share a knowing look. "On one condition." He tells the girls, watching them nod before he continues. "We'll go to lunch first, at Rousseau's. Then we will let you girls shop, only for an hour though. Then we'll come and collect you.'' Elijah tells the girls in a tone, one that meant it was this or nothing.

Rebekah was about to disagree and argue for more time, but before she can Angel speaks up. "Deal."
"What can I get for you guys?" A waitress asked the group, her name tag read Camille. Looking her over once, Angel realized she was quite beautiful. Short blonde hair, bright green eyes, and a perfect smile. She reminded her a lot of Caroline, except she seemed a bit kinder, less of a mean girl compared to Caroline. Snapping out of her thoughts before she embarrassed herself, Angel gives her a smile before ordering.
"A cheeseburger with fries and a cherry coke. Oh, and extra pickles please." Angel tells Camille, her voice barely loud enough to hear. For some reason the baby really liked pickles. Why? She had no clue, but what the baby wants the baby gets.
After everyone gives their order, Camille walks away. Leaving the group alone.
"Bekah, how was Paris?" Angels asks, breaking the silence. It was actually Angel's idea for her to go, it had been Angel's favorite place to live.
"It was beautiful," Rebekah admits. "It was a nice break from my brothers, I missed you though," Rebekah tells the girl. Sending a smirk to her brothers as they roll their eyes. They were used to Rebekah's snarky remarks by now. She may act as she hated them but in reality, they would do anything for each other.
"We missed you too, Sister Dear," Kol tells Rebekah with a smirk of his own. Leaning across the table to get into Rebekah's face. Looking at the two, Angel shakes her head. They acted like children together, but at least they were somewhat getting along.
After a little more small talk around the table, Rebekah and Kol making snide remarks about each other the whole time. The food finally arrives, a smile makes its way onto Angels face at the smell of the food. Since she had gotten pregnant, her life basically revolves around food. It was like she was feeding a small army inside of her.
After placing all the food down in front of the respective parties, Angel tells the women thank you before digging in. She had just eaten a little while ago, although it feels like she hadn't eaten for days, weeks even.
Around 30 minutes later, everyone was finally done with their food. Angel finished first, stealing little pieces from her mates' plate as well as Rebekahs as they finished. She was just, 'helping them' as she put it.
Calling Camille, their waitress, back over Elijah paid for the food. Leaving a hundred for a tip like he usually did, he really didn't have much of a regard for money. Standing up from the table, the group heads outside. Leaving the comfortable restaurant for the crowded and busy streets of New Orleans. It seemed like there was always some kind of celebration going on, no matter the day or time.

"Rebekah," Elijah says turning around to face her. "I am counting on you to keep my mate safe. I promise you that if anything happens to her it won't be Niklaus daggering you this time." He tells her, a dangerous look in his eye. Elijah didn't get angry often, although when he did he was not someone you would want to mess with.
Giving him a nod, Rebekah turns to look at Angel. "I'm going to wait in the car, I'll give you 5 minutes to say goodbye." After giving her brothers a nod, Rebekah turns around and walks to the car. Getting in gracefully while yelling '5 minutes'.
"Darling," Kol says. Making Angel turn to look at him. "Please be careful, and make sure to stay with Rebekah the whole time. I don't know what I'd do if you got hurt." Kol tells her with a rare smile on his handsome face.
Looking up at him, Angel nods giving him a huge smile. Bending down, Kol takes Angel's soft face in his hands. "I love you." He tells her before giving her a soft kiss on the lips, pulling away before it could get too heated.
"Love you too," Angel mumbles before Kol pulls away. Letting Elijah take his place so he can say his own goodbyes.
"Be careful, Baby. I don't want you, or this baby getting hurt. Like Kol said, stick at Rebekah's side and call us if you need anything." Elijah tells her, his voice stern. Nodding at him as well, Angel stands on her tiptoes to give Elijah a soft kiss on his lips.
"Love you," she mumbled against his lips. Elijah saying it as well before they're interrupted.
"Angel, it's been five minutes. Time to go!" Rebekah yells from the car, causing Angel to let out a chuckle at her impatience.
"Bye!" Angel yells before speeding into the passenger side of the car, giving Rebekah a high five before they drive off.
"What about this?" Rebekah asks Angel, holding up a cute yellow onesie. Currently, they were baby shopping. Even though they had no clue the gender yet. Angel had tried to tell her that they still had plenty of time to do this, but Rebekah was relentless.
Nothing came between Rebekah and her shopping.
"It's cute, Bekah. But are you sure we need more stuff? The baby isn't even born yet and it had more clothes than I do." Angel tells Rebekah laugh, they had only been shopping for 40 minutes and they had gotten at least 100 outfits. Angel had tried telling Rebekah that they wouldn't even be able to use some of them, giving the gender was still unknown, but again. Rebekah insisted.
"My little niece or nephew is going to have the best wardrobe imaginable," Rebekah tells Angel with a smile while throwing it in the basket. She was going to be the best Aunt. Before Angel and Rebekah could argue the issue any more, a woman interrupts them.
"Hello, Ladies." A woman says, making the two turn around to look at her. "Is there anything I can help you find?" She asks in a voice to polite to seem normal, maybe it was just how people in baby shops spoke?
Before Angel can decline, Rebekah buts in. "Yes actually, can you show me the most expensive crib you have?" Rebekah asks Angel, shaking her head with a sigh. Nodding her head, the women lead Rebekah away. Rebekah turning around with a wink before she's out of sight.
Turning around, Angel continues to look at baby clothes knowing Rebekah would be back soon. After a couple of minutes, Angel feels a tap on her shoulder. Turning around, Angel meets the eyes of the saleswomen.
"Yes?" Angel asks her, confused why she came back.
"I think I have something in the back you would really enjoy, your sister is already waiting back there for you." She tells her, a wide smile on her face. Angel felt a weird feeling in the pit of her stomach, although she followed her anyway.
"Okay," Angel says wearily. Turning around and following the women to the back room. As soon as they enter the room, the door slams shut making Angel jump.
"Angel. Here it is." The woman says, showing Angel a beautiful crib. One that was fit for a princess. Angel was about to walk over to it, although before she moves something makes her freeze in her tracks.
"Wait, how do you know my name? I never told you." Angel asks, turning around to face the woman with a protective hand on her stomach.
"What do you mean?" The woman asks, the smile on her face still not fading. It was beginning to look unnatural.
"Where's Rebekah?" Angel asks the woman, ignoring her previous question. She was beginning to think it was a bad idea to follow her back here. She should have listened to her gut.
"I'm sorry," the woman says. Still not answering.
"For what?" Angel asks nervously as she started to slowly back away toward the door.
"This." The woman says speeding over to Angel and waving her hand over her face, watching as Angel's eyes close. Catching her before she can hit the ground.
"Elena says, hello." The woman says before she and Angel disappear with a wave of her hand, no trace of them left.

Old synopsis "Hi, my name is Alexis," I say into the camera, as I attempt to calm my nerves."And I'm Sab," I hear my best friend add from beside me. It's good to have her there, it's been far too long."I'm trying to focus," I tell Sab as I look into the camera. Will anyone even watch this?"What, just cause I didn't get sent to another world, where magic and dragons are real, I don't get to be a part of this?" she questions me. I can hear the hurt in her voice. I wish she'd been there. Things might have been... different. I can't believe I thought it was a game. If it had been, she'd have been the better choice."I said I was sorry. It's not like I knew I was going to be kidnapped by the system," I lamely apologize. She deserves more, but this is important."Coming soon, to an earth near you," she might be making light, but I can hear the fear in her voice."It's not funny Sab. It really is coming," I can't help but reply to her words, even though I know she didn't mean it."Come on Lexi, it's a little funny." she tries while chuckling nervously."Sigh. Look, can we just get back to telling them?" I ask, pointing at the laptop."Sure, but first you should show them some magic," Sab declares while waving her arms around."I told you. It's not that simple. I only showed you because you could tell it wasn't fake. They'd just think it was special effects," or come after me to try to lock me in a basement."Yeah, well they're not going to believe you anyway. It sounds pretty crazy, even to me. And I've seen what you can do," she proclaims. I didn't think it was that special, but she was super impressed by my magical abilities."Maybe, but I have to try. We don't have much time," I state as I stop the recording, before starting a new one."Hello, my name is Alexis," I pronounce, projecting as much confidence as I can at the little camera."Remember, the world ends on a Tuesday."

Unwitting Champion
"In stories this is always easy. There's magic and powers, and quick steps to claiming that power for one's self. This doesn't feel true for me. I'm supposed to be a Champion, whatever that means, and yet I don't feel important. I don't have all the bells and whistles, which honestly feels familiar even in a new world. But what was I expecting? I haven't had the worst life - there are people with worse problems than mine - I've known what it is to struggle, to be pulled down instead of being helped up.This is nothing new."When in great peril, the Kingdom of Althor has no choice but to send a call into the void, beseeching the Fates to bring them a man who would save them from the coming darkness. Unfortunately the path the Fates chart is often unknowable to men and the Champion who appears is not what the kingdom expected.Unwitting Champion is a story of a guy displaced, dealing first and foremost with trying to survive in a world where he is no longer a person but a tool, and - at least from the reaction of those around him - a shoddy one at that. His major goal is to survive long enough that either he can run or find a way home, because as exciting as the possibility of learning magic might be, he would rather have a boring life than a short life.
