King Ashford arrives at the Alpha mansion and is led by Vatler to a private room to meet Niklaus. He tries his best to conceal how terrified he was. No one gets invited to the Alpha mansion at least not for good reasons.
He quietly follows after Vatler as beads of sweat starts to take their place on his anxious face. Vatler enters the room and bows to Niklaus and Ashford follows suit.
" Greetings, Your Highness, to what do I owe the pleasure if making your acquaintance ".
Pleasure? This was a bloody nightmare.
He meant that literally, it could get bloody any second. All that was required was Niklaus' mood swing.
" Welcome, welcome, be my guest. Do have a seat, you are my wife's father after all. So you have nothing to worry about . . . "
Ashford was about to take a seat and Vatler stands at a corner of the room.
" Unless you aren't ". He suddenly hears Niklaus say and he freezes, the beads of sweat finally succumbing to the wills of gravity.
Does he know something , he couldn't help asking himself.
" But you are, you are her father ", he hears Niklaus say and he breathes a sigh of relief and letting out an awkward laugh.
He doesn't know anything yet if not. . . Ashford was scared of finishing his thoughts, he refuse to let the idea cross his mind. It's impossible for Niklaus to find out the truth, after all he had the last surviving witch from the incident, right ?
Suddenly Niklaus laughed, his laughter made King Ashford that was sitted and trying to keep his cool, hold his breath. His laughter came to an abrupt end and the room temperature dropped. King Ashford could feel the change in atmosphere and the aura emanating from Niklaus felt like he was craving blood. He couldn't bring himself to make eye contact with Niklaus, so he looks at Vatler instead. The butler looked unfazed by the sudden change in atmosphere.
Are all the people here monsters?
King Ashford was scared beyond his wits, he couldn't move a muscle.
" You dare lie to my face. . . Ashford . . Look . . . At . . . Me " ,he heard Niklaus say through clenched teeth. He looks at Niklaus' blood shot eyes
He knows. Damn it ! He already knows.
" You are not her father and you still sat . . . " Niklaus signals Ashford to come over and some unknown force gave him feeling in his legs again. He stood up moving close to Niklaus not daring to tear his gaze of him. Niklaus gets up and looks Ashford in the eye.
" You tell me everything you know about the Dimbrugh witches and the lost twins ".

Elisa and Fred stares at each other what feel like forever, both of them confused and lost in their own thoughts.
" You're saying you don't remember anything that went on for the past few days . . . "
" Days ? No that's not possible. I do, I remember. You and Niklaus had this duel in the arena and I went back to my room and saw Niklaus, I guess I fell asleep before I got to speak with him. I remember it all but what I don't understand is why you think I'll try to hurt your sister. Vincent is anything wrong, have you been having dreams of me hurting her".
He stares at her speechless.
" Come with me ", he drags her out of the mansion towards the garden. They sit at an open garden shed and he takes hold of both her hands in his.
" Elisa, I need you to open your mind to me, so I could know what's wrong"
" What's wrong, Fred, tell me if anything's the matter "
" It's okay Elisa, I need you to let your guard down for a moment let your guard down. Don't ever forget to call me Vincent"
" You are scaring me right now " .
" If he figures out who I am sooner than we find her. What is going on right now would be the list of your problems. Listen to me, I need you to close your eyes, take deep breaths and no matter what happens, don't fight me off, okay? Let . . Me. . In ", she noda not quite understanding his purpose but deciding to trust him.
He closes his eyes and begins to chant the spell.
Dim din taru no se re abslam.
He tries to get into her mind but feels some unknown force blocking him out.
" Elisa, you have to trust me, okay ?", she nod again.
Dim din taru no se re abslam.
He pushes his way through her walls and successfully enters her mind. He sees . . .
All around screams could be heard all over the place, blood spilled on the floor. A little girl stood in the midst of all the chaos, unmoving. She had no life in her eyes as people ran trying to get away from her. Then voices . . .
" We need to do something to stop her, if we all run. We'll all die ".
" Divultress, there's a spell we could use to bind her to my blood, but . . . " She looks at the woman, leaving the rest of her words unsaid. The woman immediately understands. She nods her head, takes of her pendant and places it in the hands of the other woman
" Do it. It's our only choice, Liah. It's the only way to save my daughter and our people"
Soon all twelve women surround the little girl. She says nothing to them, treating them like inexistent, like she's seeing no one.
The divultress walks up to the child , she take one of her hands and kisses it.
" I'm sorry, I won't let you pay for the deeds of our ancestors. I will save you, I'm sorry, I love you my dear child. Don't worry after all this, you won't remember the pain ",she says to her daughter as warm tears begin to flow. Without even sparing her mother a glance . She stares blankly, her eyes look hollow. She raises her hand and slits her mother's throat with a wave made with her hands. Blood oozes as the Divultress falls to the ground.
The witches gather around, chanting the spell to seal the little girl and put her under control.
Est steressa novas epnit stra ves !!!
As they made the chant, the silent girl suddenly started making ruthless advances to kill the witches, so she sever the link and stop them but it wasn't working, they were under a protection spell.
Est steressa novas epnit stra ves !!!
She looks around her and notices, the dying witch on the ground, using what life was left in her to protect the witches. Making a sharp swift with her hand, she deals another blow to the witch.
Est steressa novas epnit stra ves !!!
She turns to face the other witches but she begins to feel pains all over her body.
Argh !!! She screams but they continue the spell
Est steressa novas epnit stra ves !!!
Argh !!! She drops to the ground on her knees, clenching her fists and closing her eyes, she continues to scream in pain.
Est steressa novas epnit stra ves !!!
Liah steps forward, grabbing one of the girls arms, she places the pendant inside and mutters another spell as the witches continue their chant. She slits her palm and without a second of hesitation she does the same thing to the girl. The blood drips of their palm and falls to the ground. The the spilled blood slowly started moving towards each other until they merged.
Decant eum lav se sera, fenim du lavette
The girl dr
ops to the ground unconscious and the witches follow suit. They all drop to the ground one by one.
Gasp !!!
