Chapter 10 - urgent problems

"Oh hey! Where have you been? It's been so long!" Rebecca noticed Alinore and asked.

Alinore gave vague answers, not wanting to explain herself unnecessarily, while facing her feelings for Rebecca. Previously in New Orleans, Alinore had kept her feelings hidden the whole time, seeing Marcel and Rebecca together, or not together, without making her situation with Rebecca awkward. Rebecca treated her like a little girl, giving her treats she wanted, asked if she had an eye for any of the boys in New Orleans, despite her telling Rebecca she was already a few decades old. Granted compared to Rebecca she was just a young kid, but they don't look so different in age.

"Give me the bad news, doc," Rebecca said, as Freya examined her. With everyone's eyes on Rebecca and Freya, Alinore compared the 2 woman and realised that her little girl crush on Rebecca was already gone now that so much time had passed. Right now, all that's left is this incessant want to save the Mikaelsons but that is just a habit from the previous times. There was no more need. As she scutinised Freya for the first time uninterrupted, she inwardly sighed as the same nagging longing for this blond arose instead. She was just destined to desire the Mikaelson women after all. She was interrupted from her thoughts when Freya stood up claiming to need time and magic before she fainted. "Freya!" Alinore gasped as Elijah caught her before she toppled over. Elijah put her down gently and examined her, stopping at the neck. "The scratch is not healed, she was poisoned."

Alinore just felt a tiniest bit of panic as she stared at Freya, worrying for her.

"She's waking," Jackson said.

Sure enough, Freya woke up weakly, while Elijah explained his purpose of leaving to get the antidote. Freya stared at Rebecca's hand. "For this I'll need a silver knife, and some white muskroot."

"No, Freya, you are in no ability to float a feather right now, let alone do this. At least get the antidote?" Alinore objected, heartbroken at her disregard of her life.

"I'll channel Finn," Freya said, while Rebecca grumbled sarcastically about Finn wanting to help willingly.

"Well right now, he is the only other powerful witch." Freya picked up the stake while staggering off. Alinore rushed to help her. "May I?" Alinore asked, gesturing to carry her to her destination.

"You know I'm not that frail right?" Freya skulked.

"In my eyes, your human body kinda is." Alinore said as she scooped Freya into her arms without waiting for Freya's consent.

"Where to?"

"Bedroom" Freya said weakly, before closing her eyes.

As soon as she set Freya down in her room, she stood right up, sat crossed legged on the floor, gestured Alinore to bring her some lighted candles, and started chanting. Alinore watched as Freya grew weaker and weaker, blood trickling out of her eyes, while she argued with Finn about helping Rebecca.

"Freya, stop!" Alinore begged, angry at herself for not learning more magic of this world. She was rejected by Freya's shake of her head and continued chanting. Elijah walked in at this moment tried to convince Freya that we cannot lose her just to stop Rebecca from being a ripper, and ripped his wrists, holding it to Freya, after Freya's determination. Alinore suddenly heard quarrelling in the other room, where Hayley and Rebecca was, and heard a crash.

"Stay with her." Elijah said as he went to investigate.

Alinore stared as Freya chanted weakly, ripping her wrists and offering her own blood to Freya like her brother. Sure enough, her body reacted better to it and her chants grew stronger. While she chanted, Alinore tried her whole healing spell own Freya, trying to see if she could force the poison out of her from vein to vein.

She could hear more things breaking downstairs, and Nicklaus shouting, and she began to focus herself on Freya instead, trusting that 2 originals can subdue 1. They lasted until Hayley came up with the antidote, in which Alinore grabbed and injected Freya with it, prompting Freya to gasp deeply and started chanting with the ingredient and knife.

Once done, Alinore carried Freya without warning to speeded downstairs where the 2 brothers are struggling to keep Rebecca subdued.

"Hold her!" Freya said as she was set down beside them and started chanting while cutting Rebecca up. Rebecca screamed in pain and became limp.
