Chapter 3

FINN'S POV

"Your here to kill me." I hear Niklaus state as I'm waking up. Slowly, I get up off the couch and watch as Mother approaches my brother. The whispers have gone silent, I can only assume that it is related to mother entering or that she ended the hex for some reason.

"No Niklaus, you are my son and I am here to forgive you" she says while holding him. I can see tears appearing in his eyes as the rest of our siblings watch on

"Well whatever this is, I am not staying here or around you!" I announce to the surprise of everyone else. Flashing away from the mansion I pass many people before I come to a general store. Going in I compel the late night worker to stay still while I grab a bunch of alcohol and gasoline as well as a few lighters. Draining the employee, I then head out with my supplies.

I followed the road until I finally hit my destination, Wickery bridge. I start immediately covering the bridge in the flammable liquids. As I finish up I start to hear someone approach me. Using a lighter I ignite the bridge and the white oak starts to burn. I just watch as the flames rise and see that Rebekah was who followed me.

"Finn?" She calls out to me," Are you alright? Mother was so shocked that you straight up left."

"Hello Rebekah, and good hope she does of a heart attack." I say to her shock, " No I don't think I am well sweet sister, Mother was the one who hexed me and tormented me, whatever she is saying is a lie and I couldn't bear to be there." As she takes in what I said I can tell she is hesitant to believe me even in the glow of the burning bridge.

"We could leave Finn, we don't have to stay and if anyone deserves freedom it is you." she says softly as she grabs my hand. I then head to the sign and rip off enough for two stakes before throwing the rest to the fire. "What is that for Finn?" she asks me.

"It is white oak Rebekah,if you used your heightend senses you could have smelt it. I know the new things make it a hassel to our senses but that is no reason to ignore it." I chide her," I remember sitting under the great tree when you where but a child, watching as you made little crowns out of the flowers." I look over to see her shock, whether at the memory or the white oak I can't tell. Looking at the piece in my hands I wonder if it would be better to stake myself now and save myself the misery. Shaking my head, I remember Sage and how I missed her and that she is ALIVE!

"I will be seeking out Sage soon Rebekah. I have missed her greatly and wish to see if she is well. I hope you find your way as well sister" Kissing her on the forehead I whisper in her ear " Beware of mother she is dealing with witches and I will see you soon."

"WAIT FINN!"
