Free Me ' My ' Monsters

Chapter 8: She's Back!

POV Elisa

I wake up am find myself in a bedroom. My view is a little blurry but this place looks more like paradise. Soon, a guy was in with a bright smile, he's azure blue hair and red eyes contradict the warmth in his smile and the situation I'm in immediately reminds me of what happened between Kristan and I. This time, I don't think too much about it. I try to say something but I feel numb all over.

I struggle to get up by to no avail.

" Sorry, it's the effect of the medicine I gave you. I had to go a little over the top so you could recover quickly, you've been asleep for days now " he says walking over to me and sitting on the side of the bed.

I still can't say anything, so I glare at him, giving him the look not to try anything.

" Its cool okay, I won't hurt you if it's not needed, so you can trust me . . . . . For now "

Ok, that was brutally honest. I try again to speak, but couldn't utter any words. He must have already done something to me.

" Okay, so I'm gonna take the time you are temporarily paralyzed to explain things to you ".

" Okay, so, you are probably wondering why I helped you or you probably think someone sent me to get you, considering you were on the run when I saw you. Probably from Niklaus himself ".

Oh my, how does he know Niklaus? . . . At the mention of Niklaus'name, I felt like I was meant to be scared but it made me feel at ease that he may just be searching for me . . . that maybe he cared just like last time.

" You are probably wondering how I know the name of your Alpha. How I even know that one exists. Oh . . . You will be surprised at the things i know . . . Being honest, I'm a witch just like you ".

I don't know if my eyes are numb but I feel them widen in shock.

" And I want you to take me to your Alpha and trust me, you will ".

He sits at a corner of the bedroom watching me closely. About half an hour later, I can now feel my body. I decide to wait for him to leave before I can make my move.

" Don't fool yourself, you and I both know you can walk now "

Darn ! He behaves just like Niklaus. I decide to drop the act and I carefully sit up on the bed not letting him leave my sight.

" Better, get up let's have dinner "

I follow him quietly, then we arrive at a dinning. He serves me but I don't eat. He drops his utensil after a while.

" Goodness, it's not easy being my brother. I'm sorry okay, so eat something " I still refuse to eat, I can't trust him.

" Why do you believe, I can take you to the Alpha ", I ask him one of the questions brewing my kind since he was definitely confident earlier.

" Because, I know you are his mate more like his bride. I doubt he has told you about the mate thing. I did tell you that you'll be surprised at the things I know, didn't I ? "

How could he possibly know, I doubt anyone on the island knows that Niklaus and I are mates especially since he found me at a . . .

" I apologize for the way I spoke to you earlier. But right now I need you to trust me. I need to save my sister from him. He has her captive, okay ? So I mean no harm ".

I don't want to believe him but a part of me keeps telling me he's saying the truth. I look into his eyes and he seems sincere.

" Let me show a little something". he touches my arm and I see the images of three kids, two boys and a girl.

" I'll go back but not because I trust you but because, he'll probably find me eventually. I'm smart enough to know going on my own would be to my advantage. Plus I don't care if you're am enemy the faster we get rid of him, the better for me ".

" No, you do. ".

" What ? I don't ".

" But you will, it's part of the bond ".

" What bond ? "

" Don't push ! He'll tell you himself. I can't ".

I decide to not push on the matter any further. The thought of knowing that I'll one day care for such a monster creeps me out.

" What makes you think, he hasn't killed her yet ".

" He might be a murderer. . . . . But he won't murder his own sister "

What ? The shock I get from the revelation, that he is Niklaus' brother ? - leaves me speechless. Bloody Hell !

" Oh . . . And by the way, I'm Frederick Leonardo Michaelson " he reaches out to me for a handshake and says with a smile but I'm too stunned to move.

I stare at him for what feels like hours or days.

" It's really not polite to leave someone hanging ", he says taking my hands.

" I'm Elisa . . . Elisa Roselyn ", I stutter slowly.

" Yeah, I know. So, Elisa are you going to help me or not ? ", Seems like now I know who he is, all his request now sound like commands to me although he doesn't look like he's being rude.

" Sure ", he chuckles and he's charming smile, leaves me warm.

Oh Goodness! Elisa what are you thinking, he's your in-law. Or maybe I could marry him instead of Niklaus. At least that's if I want my wedding and funeral to be the same day.

" We'll be leaving, tomorrow. So you better eat something. Thanks for coming with me ", I start eating and the food is still a little bit warm.

" If your brother is the Alpha, why are you on the mainland "

" Well, he won't be so excited to see me. I'm to never return but I've got a spell to change that so he never finds out, I'm back . So all you need to do is get me to live there. You don't have to worry about the rest "

I decide not to ask any further questions so as to not end up in-between the entire family feud. I slowly eat my meal, spending time with Fred is getting really comforting. I feel more comfortable than I ever will with Niklaus, he must be a good brother.

" Why did Niklaus capture your sister and imprison her "

" She tried to stop him from killing our mother. Our mother loved him most but that didn't seem to be concerned about that ". I could see the pain evident in his eyes as he spoke.

" Our father was a monster and she protected him from our father even at the risk of her life "

I didn't know what to say, I always knew Niklaus was worse than a heartless monster but right now I feel he's worse than monsters. I feel so glad that I decided to betray him and do what's right.

But the problem still remains, how I'm gonna make him take Fred in. What would I say ? What if at first glance he chooses to kill me.

" He won't ", Fred says as if reading my mind.

" Huh ? "

" He won't hurt you. My brother can be really forgiving as long as you are willing to do his will. You just have to convince him that you'll be loyal to him from now onwards ", he says making it sound so easy.

All I could do was nod. I still didn't understand why Niklaus would be willing to kill someone that loved him so.

" My brother, isn't as bad as the rumors make him sound. You'll learn to love him "

I didn't even have a reply to what he had just said because I had already found myself feeling Niklaus wouldn't hurt someone without a reason.

POV Niklaus

It's been days now and there's still no news about either of them I haven't had the visions for a while now and for some reason I find myself worried and angered.

For the past few days, I haven't had my rest. The thought that she doesn't even want to return has been driving me nuts.

As the days go by, I have a strange feeling that she's going to return to me on her own accord but a feeling won't be enough for me to stop my search even though I'm sure they won't achieve a thing. The search still gives me comfort.

Why do I care, if she stays ? She's not any different from the rest of them that always leave me behind.

The thought of her leaving him angers him more than her betrayal. At this moment he can't seem to think straight. All he could think of was who to kill.

POV Elisa

We rise up, very early in the morning and we head for the sea, so we could go back to the mainland.

" Have you thought of what to say to him ? ", Fred suddenly asks.

" Not really. I don't think there's anything I'll say that won't get me either killed or chained "

" Well . . . Here's a hint. Don't lie, he'll know and don't think too much, everything would work out just fine "

" What about you ? I mean, what do you intend on saying to him ?"

" Oh . . . About that, he won't know I'm the one. I have a spell like I told you earlier, so he won't recognize me "

" What makes you think, he'll let you in the mansion "

" He will, trust me. He's paranoia won't let him let me leave "

" Well that's a mean way to put it but I shouldn't worry much. I'm sure you have things all planned out. Plus I actually don't care what happens to you "

" Has anyone ever told you that the both of you are a perfect match ",he chuckles.

I still can't get the whole ' what to say thing out of my head '. Fred seems to know a lot about Niklaus and he doesn't look the least worried.

" Aren't you a little scared that things may not go as planned "

" Nothing ever goes as planned, trust me but I'm willing to do anything for my sister. I'm also not willing to give him the joy of seeing me scared ".

We finally arrived at the island. The moment I set foot on the island, I have a strange feeling.

At Alpha Mansion

Niklaus is on his way to the dungeon to seek help from the monster that he least wanted to see. He suddenly feels a rush of familiar energy.

' She's back ', it brings a smirk to his face.
