Revelations - Klaus Mikaelson

Chapter 5; Surprise memories

Lilly

“LET ME OUT OF HERE!” I sighed as I heard my daughter down in the basement. “I guess she’s awake” Kol joked making me roll my eyes as he pointed out the obvious. “Who’s going down first?” Atticus asked making me sigh knowing I was the one who needed to go down first. “I will”

As I entered the basement my eyes landed on a chained up Phoebe. “You seriously think a bit of torture will bring me back? Nothing you say or do will change anything” She glared at me. “I’m not going to torture you, I just want to talk, are you willing to at least do that?” I asked here, she looked me up and down before nodding making me smile.

After grabbing a chair and placing it in front of her she started talking. “What do you wanna talk about? Please don’t tell me it’s going to belike one of those stupid therapist things” she rolled her eyes. “No, earlier you was going on about all these problems you have with me been pregnant, so I’m going to sit here and listen to your problems”

“Seriously? Surely you know better ways to torture people then to bore them to death” She laughed making me roll my eyes, she was such a b***h without her emotions. “Why do you always chose the hardest way?” I mumbled to myself before grabbing the stake and shoving it into her stomach. “A stake, really?” She chuckled, but instead I just smirked at her. “It’s not supposed to hurt, it’s a distraction” I told her before placing my hands at the side of her head.

*Phoebe’s head*

I was in a family home reading a book when a young Phoebe came running into the room with a big smile on her face. “Momma, look” She called making me look at a picture she had drawn of me and her.

I smiled as I pulled her onto my lap looking closer at the picture. “Well that is the best thing I’ve ever seen” I smiled at her kissing her cheek. “I’ll hang it up with your other pictures”

She smiled brightly at me. “I love you mummy” she hugged me tightly as I wrapped my arms around her. “I love you too, sweetheart”

*End*

As I pulled away I stared at her noticing her eyes flicker for a minute before she blinked it away, so stubborn. “That’s how it was supposed to be, that’s how I wanted it to be but it wasn’t and I’m so sorry for that” I told her. “No matter what you try and do to my memories it still doesn’t change the fact that you were never there” She stated emotionless.

“You’re right I wasn’t there, but I’m here now whether you like it or not” I stated making her roll her eyes. “I never really noticed how annoying you are, until now” She spat making me punch her in the face her head snapping to the right.

As she slowly turned her head towards me a smile slowly appeared. “Is that really the best you can do?” She asked raising her eyebrows.

“No, but I’m trying to keep in mind that no matter what you say you’re still my daughter” I gritted out as I stopped myself from doing a lot more than punching her. “If you want to torture me Lilly you might aswel let someone take over because you really suck at it” I chuckled and shrugged my shoulders. “You asked for it” I smiled at her before walking back upstairs and into the seating room.

“Who wants to take over? I can’t do much, everytime I even think about it I remember she’s still my daughter” I spoke up making them all look at me sympathetically.

“I’ll go” Kol spoke up making me stare at him. “Please Lilly, she heals and it’s not like I’m going to kill her. Your job is to just make sure she’s always full of witch hazel” Kol spoke seriously proving that he was been honest.

“Fine, she’s all yours” I told him sighing in defeat, I’ve seen first-hand what Kol does for torturing and knowing my daughter was going to be the subject of his torture made me worry beyond belief, I just hope he doesn’t go too hard on her, I want her back but some of the stuff Kol does can leave an emotional mark on you, since that’s what he aims for.

“I’m going upstairs” Bekah spoke up before standing up quickly. “Yeah, us 4 are aswel” Nik spoke up before the five of them rushed out of the room leaving me with Atticus.

Those bastards!

As I stared at him I noticed he was looking down at his hands before looking at me. “You’ve been funny with me lately. Why?” He asked standing up crossing his arms over his chest. “I don’t want to talk about it” I told him going to turn around to leave but he stopped me. “Don’t you dare leave this room” He spoke and I could hear the annoyance in his voice making me sigh.

“Look Atticus, it’s all great and that, that I’ve finally got a part of my birth family with me but right now my daughter is more important. So if you wouldn’t mind” I spoke before walking out heading upstairs to have a go at the others since they left me with him. “Aemiliana Luna!” Atticus shouted making me halt on the stairs keeping my back towards him.

As I looked at the top of the stairs I noticed Bekah, Nik, Henrik, Elijah and Finn stood there in shock, obviously having heard Atticus shout my birth name. I took a deep breath before turning around to look at him staring at him as he also looked shocked at what he had said.

“You can’t just walk away from me when I’m trying to talk to you” He snapped coming out of his shocked state.

“I really can, Atticus” I spat his name taking a step down the stairs. “You did all this, you lied to my daughter right from the beginning, she trusted you. Granted I didn’t know the truth, but it didn’t mean Phoebe shouldn’t have known. So yes I can just walk away from you” I snapped glaring at him.

“Me?! What about you? This all started when she found out she wasn’t with her real family. She hates you for it! All that hate bottled up for this long, she was bound to crack sooner or later. It just so happened to be me lying to her for that happen” He shouted making me stare at him.

“I had no choice!” I shouted taking a step towards him, I was tired of having to go over the same thing over and over again. “Bullshit! you were the almighty Salvatore witch, you were a lot more powerful than him” He shouted as he stood in front of me.

Before I could say anything I was thrown backwards crashing into the stairs, I was about to go mad at Atticus for using his magic against me but stopped as I noticed he had crashed through my door.

“What the hell?” Bekah asked but as I went to tell her I had no idea I felt myself slowly falling into darkness.

As I opened my eyes I noticed I was stood outside a cottage looking house, but before I could go see where the hell I was people started talking making me look over at them.

“Padre no, desidero stare con Aemiliana” (Father no, I wish to stay with Aemiliana) A young boy shouted as a man – who I’m guessing is their father – carried him away from a crying young girl, who was held by a woman, who was trying to calm her down.

“Aemiliana aspetterà il tuo ritorno, ragazzo mio” (Aemiliana will be waiting for your return, my boy) The father spoke soothingly.

“Posso dire addio?” (Can I please say goodbye?) The young boy earning a nod from his father. “Ottimo” (Very well)

The young boy ran toward the young girl, who met him half way and engulfed him into a hug.

As I stood in the background – Invisible to everyone in this dream, memory, or whatever this is – watching the young children hug eachother goodbye, I couldn’t help but notice how much the young girl looked like me.

As I realized what was going off, my eyes widened. It is me! With Atticus!

“Addio fratello” (Goodbye brother) The young me whispered into the young Atticus’s ear.

“Tornerò presto per proteggerti mia sorella” (I shall be back soon to protect you my sister) The young Atticus promised before kissing my young self on the cheek, and walking back over to our father, as I’m guessing our mother, came and walked over and stood next to the young me.

“Torneranno prima del buio” (They will be back before dark) My mother promised, smiling down at me widely.

As I quickly sat up gasping for breath I noticed I was laid on one of the couches and Atticus was laid on another. I stared at Nik with my eyes wide. “Are you okay?” Nik asked making me nod at him giving him a small smile before I turned my head towards Atticus.

“D-did you see it?” I asked making him nod slowly. “Well don’t leave us out of the loop” Bekah spoke up sounding annoyed. “A memory” Atticus spoke as he quickly blinked his eyes trying to get rid of the memory. “Of who?” Finn asked looking at us while Nik pulled me into his lap, I snuggled into his chest before looking at the others. “Of me and Atticus and our parents” I mumbled, with tears in my eyes.

The first time I saw even a glimpse of my birth mother and I didn’t have my own daughter to support me through it, I sighed running my hand through my hair. “I need to get my daughter back” I spoke up just before me and Atticus made eye contact a silent truce been made, I couldn’t be mad at him, especially now since I can remember a lot more about that day.

He was going out with our father to go see his men and they were going to be out all day, we both had kicked up a storm because we didn’t want to leave eachother.

Were we really that close?

“We’ll get her back” Nik promised tightening his hold around me making me feel safe again.
