“Where is Hays?”
The sunlight came through the window, making the room light up. A slight sound of breathing was the only thing that could be heard in the apartment.
It didn't stay long, since the auburn girl had forgotten to turn off her alarm, for Saturday morning. The sound was heavily overwhelming the ears of the Gemini, making her groan and move her hand to find the cellphone.
What the brown-eyed girl didn't realize was that she was at the edge of the bed, making her fall and hit her head on the floor. Releasing a small groan of pain.
It was not new that the Mikaelson girl wasn't very fond of mornings. It ran on her blood. Neither Hope Mikaelson, the Original tribrid, one of her moms. Or Lizzie Saltzman, Gemini Siphoner twin, her aunt. Was fond of mornings.
After what the girl would call a time of stretching in the morning, that was her moving around, trying to be comfortable, and going back to sleep. Which she failed every time, every day. The Tribrid got up and decided to start with the day.
As a full Gemini Siphoner Tribrid, her routine was rather complicated, it started with a blood bag, O negative to be specific, then a cold shower that would wake up her wolf, making it active and wide awake. Dress up, with a quite perfect combination between her moms, and her aunt, also closing with a proper oversize black bomber jacket.
Breakfast is something that as a wolf she never underestimates, so she learns how to cook mostly from books, and also her ex and her mom, which had an excellent taste and gift for culinary.
It was normal for the girl to prepare coffee for 4 people, have donuts, and german waffles in her apartments, they complimented her perfect breakfast, Two slices of bread with Prosciutto ham, olive oil, and Ricotta.
It was normal for her to eat while working on projects for the school gallery since the professor gave them the prompts for the paintings and they had to develop in their own space and their time. But today was different.
Today was Saturday and that meant that the auburn girl had the biweekly call from her mother, Josie especially since the relationship between the Original Tribrid and her daughter has never been the best.
There were always ‘disagreements’, the younger Mikaelson felt that her mom saw her as a broken project. The Original had to work, treating her differently from the rest of her other siblings. Hope saw herself and her family in each of her children, except Camille she was more of the bad things her family had, or that what she thought.
For the younger Saltzman, it was pretty accurate to think and know how her family saw.
If they did
The siphoner always had trouble controlling her magic when she was a kid, also having anger issues, and to add to that, she triggered her werewolf curse at the young age of 12. Making her issues stronger.
The tribrid was normally prohibited to do any physical contact with people outside of the family since they all had a protection spell. But even though she was allowed, it wasn't normal, her family was always more into what her siblings did, some could say they didn't even notice her sometimes.
But even though everything, for her the siphoner, the most important thing was to protect her family. It has been her instinct since day one. But it became a stronger goal three years ago when she had a severe encounter with the afterlife and her acquaintances who she learned from.
And she did.
The famous list that ‘The Klaus Mikaelson’, her grandfather, ‘The great Evil’, made years back before he died. The list that had all of the enemies or bad acquaintances that the Mikaelsons ever had. Was in her hands, and some of the names on the list had already been crossed.
By her, and her Grandfather
In the past 3 years, that is what she has been doing as a hobby. She had been crossing names on the list by killing them in her free time.
The first few times were rather complex, she needed a plan, and resources and everything. And 15-year-old killing vampires, witches, and werewolves, that were powerful enough or annoying enough to make the Mikaelson mad.
Nobody knew that she was the person who was freaking out the whole supernatural society. She was pretty surprised by her actual success in it. That success was big enough that she was about to cross out the last name of the list.
‘De Martel’ ‘De Martel’ ‘De Martel’... Why the heck that sounds so familiar?
The auburn girl thought as she grabbed a black bag with a shield dark blue and white logo. But was stopped by the sound of her phone ringing.
The girl stopped her tracks and went to the kitchen counter where the white phone was situated. The girl's breathing stopped when she saw her mother's name.
Why is she calling me?
Should I answer?
Does she really wanna talk to me?
Is someone hurt?
After the last thought, the Mikaelson girl answered the phone immediately.
But the only thing that she could hear in the background was disturbing voices. Which made the girl incredibly uncomfortable.
“Umm...Hi?” The girl spoke up, with a quiet and broken voice. Almost scared of the answer.
Hope responded through the phone sounding as calm as possible, letting a sigh after. “Good morning, sweetheart”
“Hi, mom!... How is everything?” The girl shipped in, smiling widely since it was the first time in a long time that the girl had her mom call her anything else than her name.
“Everything is fine, thanks for asking…” The older tribrid responded with a rigid voice through the phone making a small pause. Making the younger Mikaelson sit on the white couch of her apartment feeling like something was off.
Well we are back to base one
After a few seconds, Hope spoke up again this time, with a weird tone that the Gemini never heard her use. "I wanted to talk to you about something, Camille"
Is she serious right now?
she is not gonna ask how I am doing?
"Ohh… umm okay" Camille responded as she looked up to the ceiling after feeling her eyes watery. The younger tribrid knew what was going to be her response to crying, so she tried her best to not let herself care.
Flashback
There was music and color all over the streets of New Orleans. Holidays for the city were another reason to celebrate, not that they needed one.
Every holiday for the Mikaelson family was important, now more than ever. With so many holidays and events that the family couldn't be together, they decided that every even small holiday they would be together.
Three little Mikaelsons were running and playing around the compound, with a brown-haired 15-year-old boy. The four Mikaelsons were playing a game that was a copy of ‘Quidditch’ just safer.
While the kids were playing the adults were in the living room around couches catching up with one another. Everyone was laughing at one of the old stories before they were interrupted by the sound of something that dropped and cried after that.
All of them were immediately on alert, as Mikaelsons their guard was always up. The four little Mikaelson came ruining from the living room almost immediately.
As everyone calmed down, the blue-eyed 5-year-old girl spoke up, making every eye of the room as she slightly grabbed Josie’s hand. “Mommy?”
“Yes, baby?” The heretic responded as she pulled up the girl into her arms.
“Where is Hays?” The younger tribrid responded, making both of her moms look at each other.
Hope said as she walked out of the living room, making the Gemini heretic to nod. “I got it, Jo”.
The auburn girl vampire sped around the compound, not finding the younger girl, until she came to the last room, the painting room in which there was a silencing spell.
The Full tribrid rolled her eyes to herself and entered the room, to find her daughter in the corner crying, while hugging her knees.
“Ma?”
“Hayley, what happened?” The older Mikaelson said as she came closer to the girl, and noticed the younger girl book completely soaked in blue paint.
The Gemini twin said between sobs but stopped as she saw the book again and started to cry without stopping again. “I-... I wanted to paint ma, and-and”
Hope immediately murmured a spell making everything clean as it was before, making her daughter look up sobbing at little but not as much as before.
The older Mikaelson gave her a nod to continue with her story.
“And the paint didn't want to come out, Ma… so- i- took magic from the floor and started to do a spell so the paint would come out and it went boom! Ma, it went boom and now my book is ruined” The girl said, between sobs, playing with her hands and making the motion of an explosion, crying again when she finished.
The little girl did the same playing with her own hands like Josie did when she was nervous or sad.
“Okay honey... first we are going to stop crying because you are a Mikaelson? And we Mikaelsons don't cry '' The full tribrid said as she grabbed Camille putting her in her arms.
The brown-eyed girl cleaned her eyes with her hands, and put her head in the crooks of the older tribrid neck, trying to follow her breathing. “Okay ma”
After a few minutes, the younger girl was calm, while the older Mikaelson grabbed the book and murmured a spell, making the book clean again, and spoke up. “There it is Hayley, now we are going to go downstairs and to be with the rest of the family”
“Yes, ma” The girl responded as she received the book and hugged her mom tightly.
Before they could walk out of the room the little girl spoke up again “Ma?”
“Yes, Hayley?” Hope responded as she lowered the girl to the floor.
The younger girl looked up to Hope, with puppy eyes and a pout scared. “Ma are you mad?”
The older tribrid looked down at her and sighed as she touched her temples before speaking. “No I'm not mad Hayley, but you shouldn't go around using magic, you know you can’t control”
“Okay, mama,” The brown-eyed girl said before waiting for her mom to undo the silencing spell, which the tribrid moved her hand in front of the door unmaking the spell since it was a simple spell.
The tribrid undid the spell and immediately opened the door so that the younger girl could walk out. For her Nickolas, Caroline and Josh were not hard but Hayley, on the contrary, was different, she was never open, the little girl had problems with controlling her magic, it was never the right thing with Hayley.
