First Meeting's (Edited)

(Erik POV)

As Jack, and I are speeding through the woods, we hear a bird's song, rolling with the breeze, we stopped running, then hearing the voice of Dahlia, behind us, before I hear a snap.

"Hello Nephew."

Spinning around, just in time to watch Jack's body, drop to the ground, with a broken neck, I see her, wearing a black dress and cloak, matching her dark, almost black, brown hair, but her eyes, held a calculative, and fearless look. I glance back at the hut, then around the woods, as she says.

"Why are you here?"

After glancing at Jack's body, again then looking at Dahlia, I say.

"Why else would I come back to the homeland, of my parents. I'm here for Freya, my sister... About this tall, blonde hair, taken by you, three decades ago."

She smirks at me before saying.

"Then nephew, you have come for nothing, I am in need of them both."

(Freya POV)

With Harald, secure in my arms, I exit the hut and I instead of following Dahlia's order, take the fastest path, back to my old village. I have tried so many times in the past, to run from Dahlia, using this path, I have gotten as far as seeing the outline of the village, before she caught me. This time though Dahlia, is dealing with someone, I pray to the gods, that I will have enough time to escape and find somewhere safe, with Harald. Who at that moment, whines a little bit.

"Shhhh my sweet nephew, we will soon be free of Dahlia, I promise."

I promised my nephew, the son of which brother, I know not, but since the first time, I held Harald, I knew he was my family, and like me cursed, to be a slave of Dahlia. Looking at the darkness, ahead of me I keep wishing, to see the village, in the distance, while increasing my speed, to a full-blown run, I mutter.

"Please, gods let us escape this darkness."

(Lilly POV)

While Juliette, and I have been waiting for Erik, and Jack, to return from tracking down this Dahlia, I have been deep in thought. Though I will never tell Erik, the Mikaelson's parental/ authority figures, are really shit. A mother driven crazy, from the grief of loss, cursed her children, to not just protect them, but deny her sister, what she promised. A father drowning, in self-righteous rage, hunting the same children, he helped curse, then slaughtering, an entire people, for the actions of a few. Lastly an aunt hell bent, on making an evil coven, of her sister's first-born descendants, taking her own niece, at five-years old. All of them are psychotic, in the actions they have taken, the things all of them have done. Makes me glad I am the daughter of Ansel, an alpha werewolf, if only I could get Erik to see him as such.

I am broken from my thoughts by Juliette's body, shifting ever so slightly, as we wait at the docks, watching the villagers, or the few of them left, going about their day-to-day life, she then asked.

"Do you think they will be okay?"

While looking towards the direction Erik and Jack sped off in. I nod while saying.

"Jack, I don't know about, but the only thing that can kill Erik, is in your possession at the moment."

She nods as I continue.

"But we could always go after them if you're worried."

She looks at me with a conflicted look.

(Erik POV)

"What do you mean both, who else have you forced into being your slave?"

Dahlia's smirk becomes a full-blown smile as she says.

"Slave is a cruel word for what Freya, and Little Harald, are to me. They are what was promised to me after all. Your mother did give me them, it's my right, as the only reason any of you are alive."

My face drained of color, and I whisper.

"My Child."

She laughs before saying.

"Yes nephew, I have kept an eye on Esther, and that brute Mikeal's, children since before they sailed away. I have witnessed your entire life, the moment I sensed, your lover Tatia, was pregnant, I pla-"

Instead of letting her finish I speed up to her, inside of her guard, as she tries raising her arm to use her magic and fling me backwards. I twisted my body, around her arm, with my own glowing red, hand, grabbing ahold of her wrist, of the arm, she raised, immediately feeling something was off. As I use my other hand, grabbing around Dahlia's midsection, and using all of my strength, flipping her over my hip, watching her go flying, back into the darkness of the night.

A second later a powerful, wave of magical energy, came speeding towards, where I was standing, from behind me. I blur out of the way next to Jack's body, crouching down, just as I see an unharmed Dahlia, walking out of the darkness, in the opposite direction, of the way that I threw her.

She kept walking closer until she is standing just a few feet away from us. I glare at Dahlia, letting my true face show, then throwing Jack, further away, I sped towards Dahlia. As a red, and dark orange fire, began burning away my armor. I release a demonic roar.

"GRAAAR."

(Freya POV)

Finally seeing the village, getting closer, and closer, I pick up my speed, even faster sprinting, while holding Harald, close to my chest. I am stopped by two blurs' appearing out of nowhere stopping Infront of me, the one on the left has strawberry blonde hair, and the one on the right, has dark brown hair. As the one on the left asked.

"Hello dear, why are you running through the woods, in the middle of the night?"

The one on the right, breathed in through her nose then looked at Harald, like he was a great treasure, before snapping her eyes to me saying.

"You're Freya, aren't you?"

Shocked that she knows who I am I asked.

"How?"

She smiles, as she answers.

"My half-brother, Erik has been looking for you... I am surprised though that you are carrying a child, that has an eye the same color as Erik's shade of green, carrying Erik's, scent."

Before I can answer we, all hear a roar, coming from behind me, then an explosion.

"GRAAAR."

"BOOM."
