A few more years passed. Mikael officially stopped training me and only called on me for practice to keep our bodies in optimal shape in case of battle. Rebekah attraction to me became more and more obvious even to her family, who couldn't careless. Even Mikael would turn a blind eye to her antics. Seems he approves off me, though I can't tell due to his always indifferent expression which I've seemed to have adopted.
Klaus who was evidently closing himself off would now only spend time with either Elijah, Rebekah, Henrik or me when I'm around. I was conflicted at first seeing all the Mikaelsons looking like their tv counterparts and seeing Klaus spend so much time with Henrik. Watching Henrik grow up I had decided to interfere and prevent his death. I couldn't just sit by and watch such a loving kid be killed by wolves just for my own gain, especially one I have come to view as a brother. Thinking of all of that I was determined to stop Klaus and Henrik when they started sneaking of to see the werewolves turn.
My magic knowledge has depend far beyond what I could have expected. I knew Ayana was a powerful and capable witch of her time but her magic books and knowledge date back to the times of the Travellers, through Quetsiyah passed down through the generations of her line before her death. That's why I was not even pressed about the spell since I could perform my own version of the immortality spell if the need arrives
I was taken out of my stupor with the sudden stinging of my cheeks.
" Erik, you've been staring off into the space with that smile I don't like" came from a now flustered Rebekah leaning on my shoulder.
I gave her a now warmer smile
" That's better." she pinches my cheek and buries her head in my chest.
"Sigh, Rebekah you do know that you can't keep dragging me off when no one notices for your snuggle sessions.
"Why am I that bad company? Am I not a beautiful woman now?" she exclaimed once again flustered.
I gave out a light sigh once again " Rebekah, it's not that si....." my thoughts trail off as I see Klaus and Henrik sneaking off to my right but go by not noticing us.
('Shit!! Their going off to watch the werewolves, but I can't just up and leave without Rebekah following')
I turn my head to Rebekah, who was still leaning on my shoulder, and lifted her head. I cupped her face in my hands and planted a gentle, slow kiss on her lips that lasted longer than I had intended.
(' Wow her lips are soft ')
I finally pull away " Bekah, how about you go make something for us to eat and enjoy under this beautiful full moon."
Her daze finally breaks " Umm, yeah sure!!" she gets up quickly and rushes off with red cheeks.
Seeing her out of sight I rush to my feet and take off after the reckless brothers. Before I could make it all the way, a familiar large black wolf with red eyes blocked my path and shook his head in a human like manner.
The next second I was shocked the bones of the wolf started to break weirdly and his body started to morph into that of a human. After a few more seconds a naked middle age Caucasian man with grey eyes similar to mine was standing in front of me.
"Erik, you know what's happening over there. I can't allow you to go and put yourself in danger." he said panting lightly after his transformation.
I was shocked at first but my shock was once again replaced by an indifferent expression as I spoke.
" How do you know me? And how are you capable of turning back during a full moon."
His face fell and his eyes saddened " I guess your mother didn't tell you about me, I'm your father." he flashes me his ring." Your mother is a much more capable witch than you realize, she created this ring to help me control my transformation."
I bursted out laughing " Hahahahah, so your just gonna blow over the fact that you just told me that your my father."
He looked down to the ground.
" Don't worry, I hold no grudges a man has his reasons."
He nodded slowly and began to speak " Yes, indeed." he smiled " I see your mother gave you our family necklace, she was hesitant to take it with her."
I gave him a questioning look and he continued " The necklace is a heirloom of the Orinson family an ancient family of werewolves to which our numbers are greatly dwindling. You, my sister and I are the last of what I know."
My now indifferent demeanor now crumbled like paper.
(' I'm a part werewolf and siphoner!! Wait is it still possible to achieve immortality through the spell without losing something' )
I calmed myself and looked to the man " And you areee.....?"
"Orin" he said slightly shocked that he forgot to properly introduce himself.
I chuckled lightly " Orin Orinson" I whispered under my breath which he seems to hear as he smiles lightly.
" So.... Orin, what are you and your sister doing here I'm sure you're aware of the local pack" I say taking back my indifferent face.
" Sigh, where here to strengthen our family through marriage. My sister will marry the local pack leader, Ansel, and through this we'll create the strongest pack known by using our family names to gather members."
I nod slowly and ask "And you would willingly give up your alpha title"
He gives a small laugh " I care not over such things"
I nod again " Well I wish you luck but I'm off to..." our conversation was cut short by wailing voice and growls.
(' Fuck!!! How could I get distracted and forget')
With that I bolted off in that direction before Orin had a chance to stop. I ran through the trees as fast as I could and arrived in at the seen that was covered in blood.
Upon arriving I found Klaus holding Henrik tightly and shaking him.
" Niklaus!!" I shouted to which he fidgeted and looked up to see me.
"Erik!" he said as he bursted in a ball of mess crying and shaking Henrik's body.
I put my hand on his shoulder firmly to stop him
" This is not the time my friend quickly carry Henrik to the village" I said lifting him to his feet.
He bit his lip and nodded firmly before " Running off as fast as he could with Henrik in hand."
As I saw their silhouette fade I looked up into the the sky and stared at the moon.
(' Is this fate? Was my intervention not possible')
I clenched my fist and bit my lip as tears fell down my cheek.
(' Fuck fate!! I will not be limited by fate much less nature itself')
I then began my slow journey towards the village with my eyes devoid of life. Since the first time coming to this world I've felt more mortal than even when I was on the battlefield.
This will soon change.
