Chapter 4; Emotional day

2544 Words
Lilly After realising that Phoebe had flipped the switch I forgot about how I felt and concentrated on getting my daughter back, she might not think it now but she needs me to fight for her, to help her get her emotions back, like any mother does they help their children when they need it and Phoebe needs me right now. Everyone thought it would be me that would get her to bring her emotions back, but I knew my daughter and I know she still harbours feelings towards me about me letting her go when she was a baby, but all this was because she thought she could trust Atticus and he lied to her, snapping that trust, but in the end it was decided that we would all help bring her back, but to do that we needed to find her first. She used her magic to block any locating spells but we didn’t need to use magic to find her, the amount of ‘animal attacks’ there’s been lately in Italy shines a bright beacon of her location. Since Phoebe left I haven’t really spoken to Atticus, he’s tried but he gets very little from me, I know he didn’t force Phoebe to flip the switch and leave but he was the one that lied to her and broke the trust. Nik hasn’t been very welcoming to him either, not that he was to begin with but now he doesn’t even acknowledge him, Nik hates the fact that his daughter left just as much as I do, so I wasn’t blaming him for been unwelcoming to my brother. “Are you ready love?” I turned around from the sink looking over at Nik who was leaning against the door fram with his arms crossed. “As ready as I’ll ever be” I mumbled as I walked over to him sighing in content as he wrapped his arms around me. “Everything’s going to be fine, I promise” I moved away from him pressing my lips against his before heading toward the door to get into the car. “Let’s just get this over with” We were going to bring Phoebe home, hopefully with her emotions on, if not then she’ll be down in the basement until they are. I refuse to sit back and let my daughter wreak havoc across the country especially when I know that she’ll feel her horrible for it. She once said to me that she was a monster because she killed people, but my daughter is far from a monster, I know it will be killing her for the amount of people she has killed in the past couple of days, she cares so deeply and it’s her weakness, but it’s something I love deeply about my daughter. Mr and Mrs Lapson brought her up to be a fine young lady, and as much as it kills me to say this but if I was the one to bring her up she wouldn’t be the most beautiful, sweet caring woman she is today. “You know when she’s back you both should have a mother and daughter day, just you two” I looked over at Nik giving him a weak smile, I didn’t want to think about that right now, we don’t know how long its going to take for her to come back to us, but I’d wait months or years to help her, noticing that I wasn’t thinking positively Nik grabbed my hand bringing it towards his lips as he carried on driving down the road. “I promise that that day will come, ill make sure of it” I smiled at him not saying anything for the rest of the journey. Not much longer we pulled up outside the house she was staying at, I took a deep breath as I looked at the house. “You sure you can do this?” Nik asked me. “I’ve got to” I mumbled giving him a weak smile before stepping out the car just staring at the house. “I’ll be in if it gets out of hand” Nik promised just as I walked towards the door and without knocking I walked in. As I stepped over the threshold I stopped in my tracks, there were dead bodies everywhere. “I was wondering when you’d be here” I snapped my head to the left to see Phoebe sat in a chair covered in blood with a dead body at her feet. “What sort of mother would I be if I didn’t bring you back?” I rhetorically asked as I walked towards her stepping over the bodies. “You aren’t my mother Lilly, surely you remember letting me go” She hissed making me stare at her, that hurt. “I thought we spoke about this, I had no choice” I tried to remind her but it was no use, she wasn’t having any of it. “Seriously? I spent 12 years of my life thinking I was living with my family but I wasn’t, then I spent 141 years searching for you, I found you only to find out you’re a shitty mother who doesn’t even know who she is” Wow! Before she even realised what was happening I had her pinned to the wall with my hand around her neck. “What is it that you’re actually upset about? Is it me? That I had no choice but to let you live with a different family? Or is it Atticus?” As soon as I mentioned my brothers name she glared at me. “Don’t say that name” She gritted and I could tell I was getting to her. “So it is Atticus your mad with” I mussed to myself. “I’m not mad at anyone, I just want you all to get the hell out of my life” She snapped, well as best as she could seen as though I still had my hand around her throat, I didn’t want to do this but I knew that pain would be the one thing that would help her get her emotions back. “You’re mad and hurt darling, you’ve bottled everything up for so long and your finally letting it out, it just took to finding out that your best friend had lied to you, he broke your trust and you snapped” Instead of answering me she shoved me away making me smirk, I was getting to her. “Well now we know what’s been going on in that head of yours” I mumbled. “You know nothing” She snapped making me roll my eyes. “I’m your mother Phoebe, I know everything about you, I know that deep down you don’t really want this, you want to be back at home with your family, I know that you’re looking forward to been a big sister to your bother or sister” Once I mentioned the baby she looked down at my stomach and for a moment I thought I got to her but her words proved otherwise. “That baby is not my family and neither are you, Atticus or the Mikaelson’s” She spat and I was starting to lose my patience. “Why are you fighting this Phoebe?” I asked running my hands over my face I felt so tired. “Why are you fighting to accept that I’m no longer the daughter you hoped for?” She retorted. “Because I know that you want me to bring you back” I stated strongly making her laugh. “You’re a fool if you really think that” She’s very stubborn just like me, before I could say anything she flicked her wrist sending my flying out the door, thankfully I landed on the car bonnet and protected me and the baby. Nik wanted me to stay outside while he went in but I knew I had to do this, I walked back in to the house glaring at my daughter, she has gone way to far, its time to et her home. “Did you not take the hint that I didn’t want you here”? She asked as I stared her down with my arms crossed over my chest, I was beyond pissing off, my own daughter has just thrown me through the bloody door. “We can do this 2 ways, you can either come with me willingly or I beat the s**t out of you and drag you back home” She snorted shaking her head. “I’m not going anywhere with you” I shrugged. “Well the I guess I’ll just beat the s**t out of you” I sped over to her throwing her into the wall, but unfortunately she recovered from it. “You’d seriously hurt your daughter?” She feigned being shocked making me roll my eyes. “Technically I cant hurt you, you heal, but I can sure beat you to the point of turning your emotions back on, even if it takes months” I spoke before rushing over to her pinning her against the wall. “I’ll never stop” She shoved me away sending me flying into a wall which crumbled around me, thank god I thought ahead and protected me and the baby. “It’ll never happen, so why don’t you just give up already? Go back to your perfect life with your perfect husband and the baby that you’ll be able to bring up and turn into the perfect child you wish I was” Having enough of the childish comments I rushed behind her grabbing her by the back of her neck and pinning her to the floor, my knees pressing down on her back in between her shoulder blades, her arms behind her back. “No matter who brought you up, you’re still my daughter and I still love you” I gritted out, as I was about to snap her neck she flipped our positions around. “I suppose I could kill you and the baby” She shrugged as I sent her a glare, I could hear Nik walk into the house ready to do something but it wasn’t needed, not at all. I grabbed her head with my free and slammed it onto the floor letting her roll onto her back. “I’m your mother Phoebe, this baby is your sibling whether you admit it or not” I spat glaring down at her. I know she’s emotionless and my daughter but she stepped over the line when she threatened the baby, I wouldn’t kill her but I was going to hurt her, it’s the only way to do that and the quicker we do it the better. “You’re not my mother and that’s not my brother and sister” I sighed tired of going round in circles, I just want her home and back to her normal loving self. “Sleep tight” I mumbled into her ear before snapping her neck. Placing her head onto the flood I sat back with tears in my eyes, in my 170 years of life I’ve never cried about snapping someone’s neck but doing it to my daughter was different. Nik came over and pulled me into a hug. “You okay?” He asked softly making me nod as I looked over at phoebe. “I’m fine, we’re both fine. Let’s take her home” I whispered. He picked her up and carried her out to the car placing her into the backseat closing the door after. “Get in the car so I can burn this place down” Doing as I’m told I got into the car looking at my daughter, who looked like herself not the emotional one. “We’ll get you back, I promise” I whispered just as Nik climbed back into the car. “Time to go” He winked as he sped off away from the house and for the first time in the past couple of days I laughed, just as I an explosion came from the house we had just left. I looked over at my idiotic husband who was staring at me with a smile on his lips. “Eye’s on the road moron” I laughed pointing towards the road through the front windshield. “It’s nice seeing you smile, I’ve missed it” I smiled at him as I lent over kissing his cheek. “I’ll try to do it more often” I promised. “I’ll hold you to that” The rest of the ride back home was spent with us both singing to the radio and Nik making me laugh as he sang to me but driving down the driveway to the house I sobered up, it was time to get my daughter back. As Nik went to open the back seat door Phoebe started waking up so he snapped her neck again before we walked into the house, as soon as we walked in the family walked through to the hallway. “I take it she decided to take a beating from her mother” Kol tried to joke but nobody laughed. “Take her down to the basement, I’ll be down in a minute” I told Nike before walking into my witch room grabbing what I needed. As I joined the rest of the family in the basement my eyes landed on Phoebe who was chained to a metal chair, while everyone stood looking at her unconscious body sympathetically, I walked over to her stabbing the needle into her neck. “What’s that?” Henrik asked confused. “Witch hazel” Me and Atticus answered. “Let’s leave her alone for a bit” I told them before making my way up out of the basement into the seating area, I was exhausted it’s been an emotional day and seeing my daughter like this was horrible. “So what now?” Finn asked looking at me as I laid on one of the couches with my head resting on Nik’s leg. “Now we torture my daughter until she flips the switch back on”
