Revelations - Klaus Mikaelson

07; Full potential

Lilly

“NIK! LILLY!” I snapped my eyes open after hearing Bekah shout, but I didn’t hear any other movement except Bekah walking upstairs. “LILLY! NIK!” She shouted again and just as I was about to go and see what her problem was Nik’s voice met my ears.

“Stop with the shouting, Bekah. What is it that is so important that you had to shout me awake and no doubt the rest of the country” Nik asked her. “Phoebe’s gone, I don’t know how but she’s gone” Bekah rushed out. “She’s not gone, she’s in her bed with Lilly” Nik calmed her down and as their voices got quieter, I guessed they were going back downstairs.

Looking over to my side I gave Phoebe a small smile, which she returned. “Are you ready to face the family?” I asked her making the smile vanish from her face. “What’s wrong?” I questioned furrowing my brows. “What if they hate me for everything I said, when I was you know…” She trailed of as she looked up at the ceiling.

“Listen to me sweetheart, nobody blames you for what you said, you’ve had a hard life Phoebe and you’re bound to crack one day. We’re all just glad we were here when it happened so we could help you through it” I explained to her only to receive a sigh.

I didn’t think she was going to get over it straight away but she smiled at me. “Okay” She nodded.

“You go get in the shower and get ready for the day, I’ll be in mine and your dads room” I told her kissing her forehead before I made my way into mine and Nik’s bathroom.

After a quick shower, I got changed into an army green jumper, a pair of denim jeans, and a pair of UGG boots. Once I was ready I made my way into Phoebe’s bedroom to find her sat on her bed twiddling her fingers. “Are you ready?” I asked, just as her head snapped up towards me. “As ready as I’ll ever be” She mumbled making me laugh.

As we walked in to the seating room joining the rest of the family, of course they all wanted to make sure she was okay, but they was acting like she was going to lash out any second, so to get her out of the house I decided for us to go out for our girls day, I was gong to treat my daughter, of course with my husbands card, it was linked to the same account as mine but it felt more like I was spending my husbands money, or I could compel it all for her but it just didn’t feel like I was treating her that way.

“So we’re going shopping?” Phoebe asked as we drove to the shopping centre in the land rover. “Yes, and you can get whatever your heart desires” I winked at her with a smile on my face. We spent the rest of the car ride in silence, letting phoebe sit in her thoughts, she needed time to come to terms with everything she said and did while she was emotionless.

“I want a book” Phoebe stated as we walked inside. “Well let’s start then shall we” I smiled at her as we set on our way towards the bookstore talking about random stuff.

“Have you thought about any names yet?” She asked as we stepped into the bookstore. “Nope, it’s a little early for that, I’m only like 2 and a half months” I reminded her, I’m taking someones eager for her sibling to come.

I followed her around the bookstore since I didn’t have a clue what she was into, I was more into reading grimoires then books. “What do you know about my biological grandparents?” She asked with her hands full of books. “Well from what Atticus told me my birth name is Aemiliana Luna and he’s my twin brother, that’s about it really… oh and I’m older than I thought” I finished making her snap her head towards me.

“You’re older than you thought, how?” She questioned sounding confused. “Well when you was down in the basement me and Atticus had an argument but before it could go too far we were thrown about and knocked into a memory, I watched as a young me stood next to her mother and cried because her twin brother was leaving for the day” I explained.

“Wait, so in this memory you wasn’t a baby?” She asked even more confused. “That’s exactly what I’m saying, we were about 4 or 5, so someone used some strong magic to turn us into newborns again” I explained to her making her jaw drop. “Wow, so you come from a powerful bloodline” I shrugged. “It looks like it, and if I do that means you do too” I reminded her as we walked over to pay for the pile of books.

After getting her books we walked around the mall getting her more bits and bobs that she wanted until our hands was full, my feet were killing me and I had bloody flat shoes on.

As I walked towards the drivers side after putting everything in the trunk I bumped into a woman, but as I grabbed her to stop her falling a shock ran through my hand making me quickly pull away. Looking at her I couldn’t help but recognise her but I just couldn’t think from where.

Once her eyes scanned my face they widened and her jaw went slack, but before I could even ask what was wrong she shook it off giving me a small smile.

“I’m so sorry” She apologized and I just gave her a small smile. “It’s alright, I should have been watching where I was going” I told her going to walk over to the driver’s door but stopped when I heard her whisper something, even with my supernatural hearing it was quiet but I heard her clearly. “You’re still as beautiful”

I quickly turned around and stared at her. “Excuse me?” I asked but she shook it off. “Again, I’m sorry” She apologized before turning around and going back the way she came, that was weird!

Ignoring the questions that was going off in my head I jumped into the car starting it up. “Who was that?” Phoebe asked confused, I shrugged my shoulders as I reversed out of the parking spot. “I have no idea”

I know for a fact that I’ve seen her somewhere before but I just have no idea where. Not wanting to think about it anymore I turned on the radio, hoping that would work, but it didn’t.

The woman’s face was constantly flashing in front of my eyes, making me wrack my brain as to where I knew her from. It’s been recent I know that, but where? I’ve hardly been out of the house-

“HOLY s**t!” I gasped as I slammed my foot down on the brakes making Phoebe quickly turn off the radio looking at me like I had lost it, well I had just nearly sent her flying out the front window. “Mum?” She asked confused. “The woman, I know who she is” I whispered with tears in my eyes.

“Okay… who?” She questioned confused when she saw the tears in my eyes. “Mine and Atticus’s mother…” I trailed off closing my eyes before snapping them open again. “Mother fucker!” I snapped slamming my hand down on the steering wheel before starting it up again.

“Where are we going?” She asked not sounding too bothered that I sounded pretty pissed off she was more curious. “I need to talk to Atticus… I finally know who our parents are” I explained as I carried on with the drive to the mansion. “Both?” She asked sounding interested. “Yep” I nodded as I drove down our driveway pulling up outside the house.

Grabbing the bags out of the boot we made our way inside to join the family in the seating room. “How was your day?” Nik questioned as I sat down next to him plonking the bags on the floor. “Interesting” I mumbled making him raise his eyebrows. “How so?”

“I ran into mother dearest” I said like it wasn’t any big news that had just come out of my mouth. “What? When? Where?” Atticus asked looking just as shocked as I was when I realised who she was. “Tonight. I literally walked into her just as I was about to get into the car” I explained making them all look at me shocked.

“Are you sure it was her, love?” Nik asked me, making me look at him and nod. “At first I wasn’t too sure, but then I remembered the memory I got, then it all clicked” Nik stared into my eyes. “You’re leaving something out” I rolled my eyes, of course he noticed that. “I met my father the other day when I went for a drive”

“What?!” Everyone exploded.

“He jumped into the car, gave me a good little speech on how I needed to come back and that everything would fall into place soon, then he left” I explained. “They’re still alive?” Atticus mumbled in shock while everyone else looked at me and Atticus not knowing how we were going to handle the news.

“What does she look like?” Bekah asked intrigued. “Like my mum” Phoebe spoke up making me look at her confused not knowing she had a glimpse of her grandmother, but I guess she did. “So, they’re both here in Rome?” Kol asked but before I could answer him I grabbed my head in my hands screaming out in pain.

“LILLY!” “MUM!” “ATTICUS!”

I clenched my eyes shut and concentrated on trying to make it stop but the more I tried the painful it got. ‘Stop fighting’ I heard mother dearest whisper in my head before everything around me disappeared only to be replaced with a young Atticus and me, we looked about 9 or 10 years old.

We were both sat on the floor next to our mother, both with big wide smiles on their face, as I looked further around the room I noticed our farther sat to the side with a proud smile on his face. “Sei pronto a imparare qualcosa di nuovo oggi?” (Are you ready to learn something new today?) Our mother asked them both making them nod their heads back and forth eagerly.

“OK... Ti ricordi cosa ti ho detto su questo incantesimo?” (Okay… Do you remember what I told you about this spell?) She asked looking at us both in the eye, with a serious look in her eyes.

“Sì, mamma. Abbiamo bisogno di usarlo un giorno, non sapremmo quando usarlo, fino a quando arriva il momento” (Yes, Momma. We need to use it one day, we would not know when to use it, until the time comes) The young Atticus nodded, before young me spoke up.

“È per quando diventiamo giovane ancora una volta, così possiamo essere forti” (It is for when we become young again, so we can be strong) I smiled widely at her.

“Che è corretto” (That’s correct) Our mother nodded, before looking over at our farther quickly, who looked away sadly.

What’s going on?

Our mother coughed before smiling at us. “Now, hold hands” She instructed the young twins who smiled at eachother before grabbing eachother hands.

“Ripeti dopo di me” (Repeat after me) She instructed, receiving a nod from the two young children.

“Spiriti, portare quarto nostro pieno potenziale, la nostra alimentazione e il nostro legame forte. Portare il quarto i nostri geni”

They both recited what she said perfectly, making both parents beam with pride, but a sad look in their eyes.

I quickly sat up gasping for air staring into Nik’s eyes who was knelt on the floor next to the couch I had been laid down on. “What did you see?” He asked checking me over before he flicked his eyes over to Atticus, who also looked shocked.

“Us, we were learning a spell” I mumbled still shocked. “What spell?” Kol asked looking between both me and Atticus. “A spell to bring us to our full potential” Atticus answered him. “To your full potential? How much stronger can you both get?” Phoebe asked surprised. “Let’s find out” I spoke up, making them all look at me shocked apart from Atticus who looked like he agreed with me.

“Wait, you’re going to try it? What about the baby?” Nik asked sounding worried. “We’ll be fine” I smiled at him but he didn’t seem like he was going to let it happen. “I promise” He glared at me. “You actually want to do this? What about the baby? You both could get hurt”

I sighed before pressing my lips against his, nuzzling my head into his neck. ‘We’ll be fine. I promise you. I’m not going to let anything happen to us’ I spoke through our bond. Nik’s grip on me tightened, before he let out a sigh. “Fine” He mumbled, making me smile up at him giving him a quick kiss before I turned towards Atticus. “You ready?”

“Let’s do this” I chuckled as I grabbed his hands with mine. “You remember it?” He asked me making me nod. “Of course, dd you see me learn that spell? I got it on point” I smiled at him making him roll his eyes. “No, I did” He retorted, but before I could argue back Henrik interrupted us. “Alright, enough of the sibling fight and start with the spell”

We both rolled our eyes at Henrik before taking a deep breath and recited the spell. “Spiriti, portare quarto nostro pieno potenziale, la nostra alimentazione e il nostro legame forte. Portare il quarto i nostri geni”

Once the spell left our lips we both dropped to our knees holding our heads in our hands. What the hell?! I rolled over onto my back in pain as the bones in my arm snapped. “Are they…” I heard Bekah mumble. “Shifting into werewolves?” Elijah asked. “Yep” Nik added, making me roll onto my side.

“I can’t be” I gasped out as another bone snapped, this time in my other arm. The baby! Closing my eyes I quickly put a protection spell onto the baby, no way could I, nor would I, allow anything to happen to my baby.

As I opened my eyes I noticed Atticus was in the same situation as me but his transformation looked to be a lot further than mine, but I couldn’t tell since I was in too much pain. “Oh god! It hurts!” I cried digging my nails into the floor to try and take the pain away but it wasn’t working. No matter what I tried nothing could take away the pain I was feeling and I was too distracted to use my magic, so all I could do was lay there and let the transformation happen.

“Listen to my voice, Lilly” His voice sounded so close but so far away. I turned my head seeing Nik squatting next to me on the floor. “Focus on me, It’ll stop, I promise” He whispered as he ran his hand through my hair and I have to admit it was starting to take the pain away.

The more I stared into his eyes the more the pain went away. “Don’t worry love” He whispered before a loud growl rang around the room, I snapped my head to the left seeing a pure black wolf with bright blue eyes. “I’ll keep you calm” Nik whispered just as a loud snap came from my back bringing me onto my hands and knees gasping for air.

“It’s nearly over” Nik whispered but I wasn’t even bothered I could feel it and as I opened my eyes I watched in amazement as my hands turned into large paws with pure white fur on them, as I tried to lift it upto my face I realised I couldn’t do it properly since I was now a full wolf.

I snapped my head over to the black wolf before looking over at the rest of the family.

Nik slowly walked over to me raising his hands up in surrender. Not wanting him to think that I was going to attack him I laid down on the floor making him smile widely at me.

“Unbelievable, she knows everything she’s doing” He mused staring at me with pride before looking at the others who looked shocked. Atticus let out a growl before he came over to us. “Hey, I’m not going to hurt her Atticus” Nik, gritted out, glaring at the black wolf. “Can you both turn back?” Bekah asked bringing all of our attention to her. I rubbed my head against Nik before I made my way to the room door to see it was closed.

I stared at the door before it opened on its own. Looking around me to see who had opened it, I noticed there was nobody around me apart from the black wolf, the others were at the other side of the room. “She can still use her magic as a wolf” I heard Phoebe whisper before I made my way up to mine and Nik’s room, Atticus behind me as he went to his room.

Once I was back in my vampire form and got into some clothes I headed back downstairs to join the rest of the family. “Well, I’m not surprised” Kol was the first one to speak as I sat down next to Nik on the couch.

“Whys that?” I asked raising my eyebrows. “Your last name literally means Moon in Italian, Lilly” I stared at him, why didn’t I think about that before?. “Great, I’m actually from a bloodline of wolves” I grumbled.

“How was you so calm?” Elijah asked looking at both me and Atticus. “I have no idea” Atticus mumbled as I ran my hand through my hair. “But I will do soon, I’m going to get some answers” I spoke up before going to walk out of the room but I was stopped by Nik.

“Wait! We’re all coming!” I turned around to see them all nodding in agreement, making me nod. “Okay” Phoebe, Atticus and Henrik was riding with me and Nik, while Bekah, Finn and Kol was riding with Elijah in his car. Once everyone was ready I drove off to the spot I met my father with the other car following closely behind.

I’m tired of not having answers! And now I’m going to get them.
