Theme: RESURRECTION
©Tz_ Chilest
The moon was still full in the sky when Austin pulled over in front of an old building located somewhere around the outskirt of the city.
It was Kol first house, the house nobody had fine to for ages. He had built that house many centuries ago: even before he became a vampire. Kol had always said his legacy began from that house.
Austin and the witches got down from the car. Austin knew Lisa had questions, but he wasn't ready to answer them now.
"Where is this place? , why are we here?" The questions kept rolling in like wide fire.
Lisa knew something was fishy but she just couldn't solve the puzzle. She saw fear in her sisters eye. She couldn't assure them because she was also scared.
"Austin, where on earth are we?" She screamed
"Don't tell me you are scared? You have two of your sisters here to support you"
"I know but I need to know why and where we are" Lisa was being so adamant.
Kol knew he couldn't resist it; he thought of it for a seconds. He knew it was just a matter of time before Lisa find out.
"This is Kol house" He not trying to sound too impress at the shabby building
The look on the witches face had so many meanings- so Austin couldn't place it; their heart were stable like they were prepared for the worst.
"As in- the messenger of evil" He added thinking it might scare them but hell No! They weren't.
Lisa suspicion was right; she knew there was something strange about Austin the other day- the way he demanded for a sleeping portion was so strange. It was like he was been tormented by something greater than him.
And what could be greater than Austin? ....... Kol!
She knew how true the myth of the blood moon is- the power to raise the dead. Only that Kol wasn't dead- he was only asleep. So she thought this to be a perfect opportunity of getting rid of the vampire forever.
So Lisa already had a plan- just incase things falls according to her plan.
"No one as been to this house for ages" Lisa said, trying to get Austin attention
"Yea- I seriously can't remember the last time anyone set a foot into that building"
"Really? And why is that? Thought the Olsen was really about family" Lisa said
"Yea.... But kol was a monster- guess my father had his reasons for putting him away"
"Guess you have yours too- for putting your father away" Lisa said, smiling - and that made Austin frowned
"Didn't bring you here for a chitty chat- let's get to the real reason why you are here" Austin said as he tries to enter the building.
He could feel the energy flowing around the building. He approached the down and tried to pull the knob but a sudden rush of energy repelled him and sent him flying in the air. He landed on the ground beside the witches; who happens to be making jest of him.
"I think your work just began" he murmured with a groan
Lisa and the witches approached the door and began to make preparation. Candles were arranged in a crossed triangle form and a spiral was rolled in between. So the witches joined hands together in unification and began to chant some incarnation.
"Atro leezu oto um bruskzvi-"
They began to chant the spell repeated until the door broke open.
Austin stood metres away from them, he wondered how great magical powers was- the power to bind and unbind, the power to twine an enemy intestine from a far. The witches stand a great threat to the vampires and Austin will do anything in his powers to silent them.
"Can I go in now?" He asked, cracking his bones.
Soon they were in the building- cobwebs had filled everywhere, rats ran everywhere like it was there natural habitat.
Lisa stepped on a glass cup lying helpless on the floor and that yanked Austin.
"Be careful on what you step on" Austin said, looking back "grandpa knows how he left those stuff" he added
"-wait a minute! What do you mean by 'knows'? Don't tell me you are going to resurrect Kol?" Lisa asked sarcastically
Austin merely nodded and that confirmed Lisa suspicion. Everything had been right- her whole damn plan had fallen in place. She immediately did a locating spell. She held hand with one of the witches and they sent a signal to the rest of the witches she had assigned.
Unknown to Austin, things were just about to get real ugly. So he led the witches to the basement- where Kol had been lying peacefully for century.
The witches did there magic as usually and the unbind all form of magic surrounding the basement. Seven coffin laid helplessly with dust covering them. One of them were Kol's.
"And why is there seven coffin?" Lisa asked
"That was the family bed" Austin said, sarcastically
"Family bed? I thought Kol had only your father"
"Oops, the Olsen family is far more bigger than that- Kol had four children, but my father happens to be the youngest"
"Where are the rest?"
"Scattered all over the world" Austin said with a grin
Lisa suddenly realized that killing only Kol would end the vampire race anywhere they were. She feared that the other children of kol might have raised an army of vampires. She knew the war against the vampires couldn't be stopped but she just couldn't give up trying.
"This is kol coffin" Austin said, drawing Lisa attention to a black dusty coffin.
"So the devil is in here" Lisa pointed out
"Yea" kol said as he tries to open the coffin
"The shit as been spelled" he added after several attempts.
Lisa stepped up to the task, she held hand with the two remaining witches and they began to cast a spell on the coffin.
Soon after some minutes, the coffin opened. Austin peeped into the coffin to see kol body: whose face was bluish. He removed the dagger embedded into kol chest, he then cut his palm with the dagger and placed his hand above kol head to let the blood drip into his dry lips.
"He should be awake by now" a witch said
"Yea, he should but his body as been bind- so I need you guys to unbind it"
Lisa signalled the witches, her plan had just began. So the witches joined hands and then began to cast a spell of destruction. The witches are edges closer to their great plan and it was Lisa heart was filled with joy that she could finally revenge the deaths of her ancestors.
Austin wasn't aware of what was happening but he sensed a foul play. He knew something was wrong with the whole spell.
"Why is he not awake?" Austin screamed, but there was no response.
Trusting a witch was a wrong idea but he also had other plans. They are both arch rivals; and you can't make a witch your permanent friend.
It seems the witches were one step ahead of Austin. He had only planned this overnight but the witches had this planned for century. Different witches with different ideas of destroying the vampires- with each ideas documented and passed down from generation to generation. So this wasn't a battle of one- this is a battle against the whole witches factions: living or dead.
"Sca va lo tis kun-"
The spell sent Austin flying. He didn't have the slightest idea that the witches had such a great plan- a plan that surpass his.
Soon other witches had started appearing like a ghost. It was now a battle of the handicap: He was already outnumbered. The witches gathered around kol coffin and they started the destruction spell again.
Austin began to feel his soul departing him. It was like he would die in a minute. He tried so hard to gain his feet but he just couldn't. The more he tried to fight it, the more gone he was.
"Lo to bra kun ves ksacei zvzcyi"
The witches pronounced a blazing spell. The spell that burnt kol coffin- Austin watched in distress and he cursed himself silently. He had brought this upon himself- upon the vampires he ever sire- Upon every night creatures the Olsen had reborn. He became so scared for the very first time in his life: so scared that his foolishness had brought the doom of the vamps.
Suddenly to everyone amusement, a humming sound came amidst the fire that burn like hell. Kol stood up and stepped out of the fire.
"Have been to hell and am back" he said with a monstrous voice.
Immediately he attacked to witches at the same time, before the witches could utter a word: he had snapped their necks. He pounced on any witches that tries to escape, he suck them dry like a thirsty devil.
"The witches blood still taste sweet as ever" he said with a smirk
It was like the witches spell had no effect on him. His dried fangs had been restored and he was just so unstoppable.
Lisa tried to snap her fingers- but before she could, he had caught her hand. Kol twisted her arm and he broke it. Lisa cried in pain but Kol wasn't moved. She screamed at her loudest pitch, she didn't know what went wrong- her spell had failed her. She was now facing the most deadliest creature in the world- Kol. He gave her a look that sent a signal to her head that this was her last moment: the messenger of death had caught up with her.
Kol opened his mouth wide, with his fangs showing both signs of hunger and thirst.
"Please grandpa" Austin pleaded
Kol paused and gave Austin and awkward look
"Still as weak as your father" kol said frowning
