60 The Return of Jennifer
Mikaelson Manor
Gerard sat in a car outside of the Mikaelson Manor, he looked up at the building with a hint of fear inside. How long had he been a hunter, and how long had he fought the urge to change targets. Vampires were much worse than werewolves and yet even he knew he and his family stood no chance. But right here and now they stood outside of the home of one of the so-called kings of vampires. He felt more excited than anything, with him there was a chance of his family doing what no one else could.
"He's gone, as long as you keep up your end of the deal I'll incapacitate the witch and hand her over to you." A pale-skinned woman said.
"In return, you get the girl Lydia and the werewolf Derek," Peeking his head outside of the door Gerard looked at his men. "Don't kill any of them, we still want the boy to cooperate. Follow her lead."
…
"Wait so your grams has been telling you that you're a witch your whole life and you simply thought she was crazy?" Lydia asked wide-eyed as she looked at Bonnie.
"Ask Elias, Grams has always been on the eccentric side. So it was kind of hard to take her for her word. But strange things kept happenings and soon enough I had no choice but to face the truth. Lydia, you're about to go through the exact same thing I went through and you may think you're crazy at times. I don't know how much longer I'll be in beacon hills but I'll do my best to guide you while I can." Bonnie looked at Lydia seeing herself, she was simply a girl more focused on high school popularity before the Salvatores showed up.
"Thank you, Bonnie, things have already been crazy, and now finding out I'm like you. I have to ask my Mom about this when I get the chance."
"Good idea, it probably runs in the family, I wouldn't be surprised if your mother is like us as well." Bonnie paused looking at Derek and his pack Bonnie frowned. "You guys didn't hear that?"
"Had we heard something you'd be the first to know considering we're practically your brother's slaves." Erica rolled her eyes as she rested her head in her hand.
"Erica!" Derek sent her a glare, maybe following Elias' orders wasn't something his pack liked. But Derek knew he wouldn't be an alpha without Elias, beating Peter alone would have been troublesome. Fighting him alongside the Argents and Jennifer, Derek knew he would have ended up another casualty if not for Elias.
*beep* *beep* *beep*
"What is that," Derek frowned as the beeping got faster and he recognized it. "Everyone get-"
*Boom*
The front door and the walls connected to it exploded into debris. A ringing sound filled the manor, overpowering the werewolves and leaving both Lydia and Bonnie woozy. They couldn't hear the subtle sound of a witch casting a spell.
Jennifer smiled as she finished her spell, once the smoke cleared, the room of unconscious people was revealed.
"You're fast, you sure you don't want to put Peter Hale behind you and work for me?" Gerard asked with a smirk as he stepped into the house.
"Peter and I are in love, and all of this is a part of his plan. I don't see myself ever leaving his side."
Gerard shrugged his shoulders upon hearing that. Having a witch on his side would be nice but as of right now he couldn't force her. "Grab the ones we need, leave the rest." Gerard waved his hand ordering his men.
"I don't get it? Why not kill the ones you don't need?" Jennifer asked.
"Because I still need the Mikaelson boy to cooperate, I don't need him throwing away everything he holds dear just to kill me." Gerard's usually calm and in-control voice seemed a bit shaky as he spoke of Elias.
"So it's fear?" Jennifer asked.
"No one wants to die, unfortunately, I need that boy, or I would have long since begun targeting the Originals. I'll have my men carry the girl and Derek Hale to a car, they'll take you wherever you need."
"Pleasure doing business with you," Jennifer said before exiting the manor.
…
Elias stepped over the destroyed part of the manor, looking inside he found the unconscious bodies of Derek's three betas. Still trapped inside the barrier spell Jackson leaned against the wall unconscious as well.
"What happened?" Stiles followed him confused by the destruction. "Lydia!" He yelled out looking around the manor.
"They're gone Stiles, Bonnie, Lydia, and Derek. They're not here." Elias clenched his teeth as he spoke. If it wasn't one thing it was another, they had just gotten rid of Matt, and now what?
*Ring* *Ring* *Ring*
Perking his ears up he quickly found the ringing phone picking it up he noticed it was an unknown number calling. He looked around the house before pressing an answer.
"Hello?"
"You must be Elias, I'm Gerard Argent, I'm sure you can guess as to why I'm calling." Elias could picture the smug smile on the face of the caller.
"You have my sister?" Elias asked as his teeth began to elongate.
"If the beautiful young brown-skinned witch is your sister, then yes I have her and you won't be getting her back unless you do as I ask."
"What about the others?" Elias asked still keeping his emotions in check. "What about Lydia and Derek?"
"I handed them over to Peter Hale's Nurse you'll have to deal with that on your own."
"Jennifer," venom laced Stiles' voice as he said her name. It seemed Elias wasn't the only one on the edge of losing it.
"What do you want for Bonnie?" Elias asked.
"Meet me at the old railroad station, and come alone, your sister isn't the only hostage we have. I can still hear his screams I wonder how much longer Scott Mccall will last." Elias crushed the phone in his hand as Gerard hung up.
"That explains why we haven't heard from Scott all day," Elias commented looking at Stiles.
"I should have known something was wrong," Stiles said no longer hiding his anger as his eyes glowed gold.
"Wake them up, take them with you, and free Scott. Once we have Bonnie back we'll do another locator spell to find Lydia and Derek." Elias didn't wait for a response instead vamp sped away. He could feel it in the back of his throat, the thirst for blood and yet he knew he couldn't scratch that itch. Right now he needed to focus on freeing Bonnie.
