Eleanor Wasn't Sure How She Ended Up Here, Someone At The Local Bookshop Said That The Mikaelson's Were

the dead were coming back to life and supernaturals were being murdered in gruesome ways, the whole ordeal made hayley's mind swirl with questions. one of the places she knew to find answers was the public library, it wasn't a typical library, thanks to the cities deep connect with witchcraft. whatever was happening is connected to something, the hybrid was sure of it. grabbing a few books, she quickly made her way down the steps to check them out and then head over to the boarding school. it wasn't until she bumped into another that she realized she was moving too fast, putting her hands up she apologized. "no, no i'm sorry, i wasn't paying attention." looking up at the other she tilted her head, the whole day had placed her brain in a fog. "you look familiar have we met before?"

Jay was head first in his books in the public library studying, residany was kicking his backside but that did not mean he was going to take a break. He turned the page of his new book when he felt the presence of someone next to him. He didn't look up, assuming like the last few people they just wanted to get around him and down the book aisle that he had set up in a few hours ago. "Sorry," he muttered, pulling his feet back to make room before he finally looked up.

GILMORE GIRLS REWATCH ↳ “Say Goodnight, Gracie” (3x20)

hearing faith's voice pulled the siphoner out of her bad mood, a sigh of relief left her lips as she began picking up the papers on the floor. shaking her head with a giggle, josie looked up at her sister with a grin. "you're right this would be ten times worse if these papers were wet." placing what was needed in a folder, she got up and flattened out the edges of her skirt. grabbing the papers in the blondes hand, she tilted her head with a smile. "work was, well it was awful and i didn't sleep last night so i'm on edge, sorry about that."

there’s an ‘oof’ when the two collide, and faith’s attention immediately turns to the paper cup in her hand which she tries to balance out of spilling its content over. thankfully, the misfortune ends with her sister’s flying papers. “could be worse,” faith offers as she kneels down to help pick up some papers with her free hand, “i could’ve spilled your drink all over.” she lets a small laugh out.

josie had lived her worst fear for three long years. so you'd think there'd be nothing the siphoner couldn't handle. well she wasn't that strong, all her life she'd been overcome with irrational fears. a faint blue light caught her attention, only moments ago she'd been looking for benni and then seconds later fear rose from her stomach. at first, josie wasn't even sure what she was scared of, just hyperaware of the way her chest began to tighten. before she could even pin point the source of the issue, someone ran into her causing her to fall backwards into the ground.

letting out a loud “oph” as she hit the ground, she looked up to see the other begging for her life. getting on her hands she crawled towards the other and did her best to calm them. "hey, it's okay i'm not making you chose anything." if there was something she understood, it was the overbearing fear of destiny.

You have to chose. You have to choose. To be the bringer of Balance, Seventh Daughter.

Nova was shaking in fear. The witch didn't know what to choose. She tried to talk with the delusion of her mind almost pleading.

"That's a fluke! I don't have to choose anything!" Nova said.

You have to chose. You have to choose. To be the bringer of Balance, Seventh Daughter.

Nova gulped before she starting to run as fast as she could. She didn't have to choose if she ran from it right. Nova kept running as the delusion made the path twist and turn. Nova unknowingly collided into something.

The witch looked up with freightened eyes panting.

"Please. I beg of you don't make me choose."

for the past few weeks, josie felt as something was deeply wrong within the city. it felt as if the earth below was rumbling, waiting for the perfect time to do something drastic and that's exactly what happened. people below were stirring in their graves being brought back by a curse. the noise of it all was too much for the siphoner, stumbling into an alleyway she managed to knock over a garbage can, scaring the hell out of the other.

with wide eyes, she looked up to see it was blossom and she let out a heavy sigh of relief. "what have you been seeing blossom?" walking up to the banshee, josie placed her hands on the others shoulder, trying to give some calm to the anxious storm that swirled around them. "i'm right here, don't worry...let's get you somewhere safer and we can talk more okay?"

she had seen them before, seen their deaths replay over and over in her mind. the few days nights before their death happened. but no, no, it couldn’t of been them, she just had an overactive imagination and clearly everything was her brain mixing her biological parents death with the fasces that had been flashed on the news papers. she couldn’t have been there at the death of the shop keeper nor those of the vampires , yet , it felt like she had been present.

yet, her body had taken her to an empty alleyway, and god it look familiar, like she had seen it in her dreams the night before. herself jumping as she heard a empty can rolling across the alleyway, fear stopping her from moving. “…I think something bad going to happen..” she spoke, to anyone who could hear her.

getting ready with her twin put the siphoner in a cheery mood, thanks to the mask she wouldn't need to explain, how the once sad josie was now all smiles. for three years, people would often describe her as a girl with a frown. her mouth always turned the wrong way. tonight, would be different, she'd allow herself to take in the excitement of elegance and music. after savoring a cosmopolitan, she made her way onto the dance floor. doing her best to take in the way it felt to actually let happiness in.

getting a little too lost in the sounds, she managed to bump into someone else. taking a step back, she tilted her head with a soft smile. "sorry, i forgot where i was for a moment."

her eyebrows rose at his quip, taking a deep inhale, trying to stuff away her annoyance. josie had met eli before, her family became much bigger after her mother married klaus. something that she found helpful after the merge. losing such a huge part of her, still never healed but having so many people around that cared, helped her on the darker days. rolling her eyes she looked up to eli and then back at the papers. "yeah well there's a first time for everything." once grabbing the last piece, she managed to shuffle them back into place before getting up from her knees.

"you know for being so tall and strong, you could've put that to use with the cleanup." brushing her legs, she placed a hand on her hip. josie was exhausted so that made her tempers flare, but eli hadn't really done anything wrong. it wasn't his fault he was built like a quarterback, sighing she smiled softly. "sorry, i uhh haven't really slept well so any minor inconvenience has just made me grumpy."

Eli had felt the same shift as other had commented on. It felt like something big and insidious lurking in corners, but no one had any idea what. As he made his way through town, he saw the female and smirked to himself. Of course Eli had the arrogance not just of that of a mikaelson but also from his father and that gave him an unruly confidence. As he approached his cousins friend, he was soon colliding into her as she came crashing into her body.

He had stopped just before her but not seeing him had caused his larger frame to knock her back and her paperwork fall to the ground. He looked down to it before moving his hues upwards towards the other for a moment as she spoke. "Well that's not exactly the greeting I was expecting...I don't usually hit girls off their feet... although seeing them at my feet isn't that uncommon.." he remarked.

hayley didn't regret the fight, even as she lay in bed bruised and battered she held no doubts in what transpired. klaus had managed to find her after inadu had their way. possessing elijah to attack and leave her for dead, deep down she knew it wasn't him. that he wasn't in control of the blows, the hybrid could see it in elijah's face, how his eyes would change from rage to sorrow. he fought so hard to not allow this outcome and she knew that in her heart. she would heal in time, much faster than most. but that brought no comfort, she felt defeated, until hope walked into the room.

the tribrid had grown into her name the moment she was born and proved every day that the name fit, even when hope couldn't see it she was exactly that. the light in the darkness. that tiny spark that kept the fight going. that was who hope was to hayley, so to hear her voice it provided a wave of calm. the hybrids body began the process of relaxing, placing her other palm on hope's face, she smiled weakly. "there was nothing you could babygirl. i'm okay i will heal and elijah isn't possessed anymore."

it was obvious, the guilt and terror that ran through her daughter and she wanted so badly to dim the rage that also bubbled, but she knew hope needed time with these things. the two were protective over each other and hayley knew that she would be picked every time in the tribrids eyes. "don't be mad at him for too long, it wasn't him that did this to me...."

𝐂𝐋𝐎𝐒𝐄𝐃. ⸺ ( @iknowthvnd ) location: hayley and elijah's home.

HER ENCOUNTER WITH ELIJAH, had left one single thought in the tribrid’s mind ( not she wouldn’t run to her mother first, whenever something happened ) but this was different, it involved hayley directly and it was that little detail that made rage inside of her swell, hope’s list of people to ‘ protect ‘ was extensive on a regular day but it was the list that contained the people nobody should MESS with that often made her react, a bit more violently than usual ( and that was saying something )

rushing inside of her family home, her like of sight was frantic as she zoomed from room to room, only allowing her gaze to soften as soon as she spotted her. rushing forward, the girl threw her arms around her, finally allowing the breath she’d been holding to release before she pulled back to meet the hybrid’s gaze ⸺ a silent acknowledgment, to let her know that she was with her, no matter what.

if there was one thing hope was confident of, it was exactly this. she’d fight a long side her mother for the rest of time, regardless of who it was that they were staring down. “ you’re okay.. “ she breathed with a shake of her head, eyes stinging a little as she reached for the woman’s hands, lacing them with hers, she squeezed tightly. “ mom, i’m so… “ what sorry? would that help? would the guilt she felt knowing that it should have been her and not her uncle, help anyone if she shared it? no. so instead she pulled the brunette in for another hug, that feeling of protection that came whenever she was near her mother enveloping her to the point that it felt overwhelming, but. in the best way possible.

it was never easy when the two are angry with each other, because they still loved one another so much. even when in a fight, they'd still, end up cuddling at night and by the next day anger was gone, but this one was bound to last longer. tyler had a difficult relationship with the mikaelson family and gabriela wanted to desperately change all of that. if anything, she understood his feelings towards klaus, the man also made her skin crawl, but she found it all trivial. all of them were grown ups and long gone was the hormones that clouded judgement. when he didn't shy away from her touch, the demon knew that it was okay to keep going.

"you know i will never turn down a quickie in a fancy place like this." her voice had this extra hint of sultry in it, maybe it was the dress and how she felt in it, or maybe it was how that suit hugged all the best spots of her husbands body. despite being married for several years, the two of them were still very much as active as ever, even more so now that the kids were growing up and getting their own places. nodding her head, she continued to speak in a lower tone, making sure that only he could hear as she spoke. "i do think they are here, i mean a decent amount of us are getting drunk and not all of us can handle our liquor that well." joining the faction was only for her families safety, nothing else. gabbi wanted to be in the know for every update on these murders and knew, that the people who got it first were often associated with klaus.

it was difficult to not give in, just lead her husband to some other room for privacy, it had been a few minutes since they'd been this close. he handled the news better than they thought he would, but they could still sense tension. "i don't think they are involved, but it's possible that they have spoken to who is apart of this." the closeness now wasn't entirely for secrecy, it was also to be near. she wasn't sure people got it, the love the two held for each other. for them it felt as if they were each others oxygen. gabbi was always sure of tyler, knowing that he was only the one for her. it happened so quickly and yet never dulled or stopped. "baby, i'm sorry that i didn't talk to you first about joining the faction, but i promise you it's only to get more information. we both know who gets news first and well i want to be close, so our family can stay safe. you are allowed to be upset, but please just know i never do anything to hurt you."

tyler thought that gabriela was breathtaking in her black gown , it seemed like the dress was made for her the way it hugged her body . she was a picture perfect sight , a goddess , was another word he would used to describe her . yet , it didn't change the fact that he was still mad at her for joining the faction . she knew he didn't trust the mikaelson's so he couldn't help but be upset that she had gone behind his back . when her hands rubbed gently against his hand , regardless of how upset he was he didn't deny her touch . it was their love language to touch and he knew that there was nothing she could ever do that would make him deny her anything . in her defense she was doing all of this for their family , he thought , as he was determined to understand her .

the lockwolf dark brows arched when she spoke of things that shouldn't happen . a smirk appeared on his face . " a quickie never hurt anybody ? " he teased . it was true when it came to the two of them , they needed each other like one needed oxygen . his shoulder stood a little taller to hers shoulders as they stood beside each other and watched the room . he tried to see if there was anything that should warrant concern . " you think the killers are here , too ?" he questioned . perhaps it wasn't so bad to have his wife on the inside of the faction after all , he thought , momentarily , but that thought was interrupted by the thought of niklaus and how much he hated that the hybrid .

when gabriela placed her arms around his shoulder , it allowed him to inhale her sweet delicate perfume . her love and affection was sending him through the roof but yet the lockwood male stayed focused on her words . " the frasers' , why ? " he questioned , secretly , when she asked who the owners of the bar were . tyler wondered if it had anything to do with who the killers were .

she nodded her head at his statement, it was hard to be okay when people were being murder because they were supernatural. "you're right..." hayley trailed off, trying to think of any good news to tell andrew, but nothing came to mind. she was in the dark as everyone else. "no, honestly i don't have much information right now, but i'm trying to find out more." she knew the risks of having kids, but she also wanted to be a mother.. wanted to change the story, making sure the ending wasn't grim and violent like her past. "have you heard anything? i'll take anything even if it seems small."

" i guess that would depend on your definition of okay . " he sighed . andrew knew that he had the choice of becoming human again , by taking the cure but after the life he lived while he was human he was happy to leave that part of his life behind . yet , the thought of someone hurting his family and him being powerless to do anything about it didn't sit well for the redhead . " any news on what's going on with the killings ? "
