Chapter 20 - Marcus failure, and the Originals escape part 1.

[ Michael's point of view ].

Finally, after two centuries, I will have my revenge.

I have found my children and their bastard brother.

The bastard lied to them, telling them I killed their mother.

The bastard caused the death of my youngest son, Henrik.

Henrik was just a little boy, and he was torn apart because of the bastard's obsession with wolves.

Then he killed my wife, his own mother, and framed me.

He lied to my children, telling them I killed their mother.

He turned my family against me.

He betrayed me.

And I will make sure he pay dearly.

I will drive the white oak stake through his heart and burn his body to ashes until nothing remains.

I will make him die in agony.

I will make him scream in unspeakable pain before I finish him off.

And then... only then, perhaps, i will have peace with myself.

Perhaps then I will have atoned for my mistakes.

Perhaps then I will forgive myself for turning my children into ravenous, merciless monsters.

Perhaps then I can die in peace.

Freya.

I am so sorry, my beautiful daughter.

The father you knew disappeared long ago, and, replaced by this... monster.

Would you still love me if you saw me like this, my daughter?.

I wish I could see your face again.

Just... one more time.

After a brutal fight in which I was forced to beat my children severely, I managed to break the bastard's soul and bring him to his knees.

I looked at Niklaus's face with contempt.

His face was filled with despair, fear, and hopelessness.

Yes... this is it... feel it... feel the despair and remorse for what you did, you arrogant, ungrateful bastard.

I slowly approached to him, while i am holding the white oak stake and said, "Your end has come, Bastard. No one is here to save you this time."

I stopped in front of the kneeling, broken Niklaus, the bastard that once i was calling him my son and said, "Any last words?"

He trembled and looked at me in the eyes and said, "Go to hell."

I smiled and replied, "Unfortunately Your wish will not come true. Boy. Because The Halls Of Valhalla Awaits Me".

Then i strangled him and lifted him off the ground. He trembled and started kicking the air with his feet, trembling with pain and fear.

Exactly like i wanted.

I lifted the white oak stake and slowly placed it on his chest, just above his heart.

Finally this ends now.

But when i was about to push the stake in to the bastard's chest. I stopped when i heard a terrifying roar fill the place.

I slowly turned to the source of the sound and found an enraged big wolf there.

The same wolf that i had thrown it into the air while ago.

The moment i gazed that reached wolf, for the first time since becoming immortal, i felt extreme danger from a creature on this earth.

My instincts were screaming at me.

I could feel the power of this creature standing in front of me.

It was clear that it was stronger than my Children and Niklaus combined.

"Ruurrraaaahh!!!!".

I heard the terrifying roar the camed from the wolf, and then i saw it angrily attacking me, i quickly dropped Niklaus and tried to defend myself but it bit my waist and lifted me off the ground and then it shooked its head left and right while i was in its huge mouth.

Then it threw me in the air forcefully.

I flew through the air for a great distance and crashed into a tree in a forest. My body spun and tumbled in mid-air before I landed hard on my face.

I groaned in pain and slowly got to my feet.

What an insult!.

I'll make sure that dog's head is ripped off.

I looked down at myself and saw large bite marks on my waist, then felt the werewolf's venom coursing through my veins.

My eyes glowed a bright red, and I felt myself lose contact with my Khemri.

I looked down at my hands and realized I'd dropped the white oak stake while that wolf was biting me.

Ruraaaahhh!!.

I heard that wolf's growl again. I turned quickly toward the sound and saw the wolf flying through the air, charging toward me.

I clenched my fists, ready to fight, but I found myself on the ground with the wolf on top of me.

The wolf opened its huge mouth and bit my shoulder hard.

Aaaahhhhh!!

I screamed in excruciating pain.

Then I grabbed the wolf and punched him hard in the stomach. The wolf staggered slightly and loosened his jaws from my shoulder. I seized the opportunity and quickly pulled him away. Then I sprang to my feet with invisible speed. I punched him in the face several times and then kicked him hard in the stomach. The wolf flew through the air but tumbled and landed on all fours as if nothing had happened.

That's impossible!! i had punched him very hard several times. He should be dead by now. Even my children wouldn't be able to get up after taking those blows from me. The wolf glared at me angrily and then did something I had thought impossible.

" You will pay for your actions with your life!".

It spoke.

I looked at the wolf in shock and then burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha! Look at this, we have a talking dog here!".

I said sarcastically while looking at him cautiously. The wolf glared at me, his anger renewed by the insult and said,

"This dog will tear you to pieces, and when he's reborn, he'll repeat the process. Then he'll drive a wooden stake through your damned heart and make you die a horrible death." The wolf's voice grew fierce and terrifying.

"And remember the name of this dog who will kill you, you arrogant bastard! Remember the name of William Corvinus well, because it will be the last thing you hear."

I looked at the wolf coldly when he finished speaking.

And i had made my decision.

I will definitely take his head off.

I smiled broadly and excitedly, for he might be the strongest creature I had ever faced and said,

"Then what are you waiting for?!".

"Come at me with all you have got!!"

William roared furiously and charged at me.

"This will be a tough fight, but I will win," I thought confidently, even as my blood boiled at the thought of a proper fight.

"Aaaaaahhhhhh!"

Then i roared at William and charged at him.

[ End of POV ] .

Michael and William charged at each other and collided violently.

BOOM!!!

The air shook violently and the ground cracked from the force of the impact.

Michael punched William hard, but William dodged the blow and retaliated with a claw strike.

William's claw slammed into Michael's chest.

CRACK!!!

The sound of bones breaking echoed through the air as Michael's ribcage shattered from the force of the blow.

Michael flew through the air and tumbled several times before crashing into a tree.

BOOM!

The tree trunk snapped from the impact, and Michael emerged from the other side. Michael landed heavily on the ground but clenched his teeth in pain and made no sound.

William rushed at Michael and tried to bite his neck. Michael rolled to the ground, dodging William's attack. William landed and felt Michael tug at his tail. Michael pulled at William's tail, then lifted him up, spun him around several times in the air, and flung him wildly into the air.

AAAAAAHHH!!!

Michael roared with anger when he saw William crash into a large rock. The rock exploded, and William crashed to the ground. Then Michael lunged at William and tried to attack him.

William stood his ground and glared angrily at Michael.

Boom!!

A loud sonic blast erupted from William's mouth and shot towards Michael. Michael was startled and tried to dodge the blast, but it was too late. The sonic blast struck Michael with tremendous force. He was thrown into the air and crashed to the ground. Blood gushed from Michael's ears as his eardrums had burst from the force of the blast.

Michael struggled to his feet and looked ahead, but found William standing before him, his claw lashing out.

Aaaahhh!

Michael screamed in pain as William sank his claws into his eyes. Michael's eyes exploded and turned into a bloody mess from the force of the blow. Now Michael was blind and deaf, having lost his sight and hearing temporarily.

The world became dark and silent for Michael.

Michael tried to throw several punches at William, but William easily dodged them and pounced on Michael ferociously. William bit Michael's waist hard, then lifted him up and slammed him to the ground.

Michael's back snapped from the force of the blow.

Before he could react, William pounced on him viciously. William bit and scratched Michael relentlessly, tossing him about like a rag doll.

Aaaahhhhh!

Michael screamed in pain and clenched his teeth. The werewolf's venom spread rapidly through Michael's body, weakening him and slowing his regeneration.

William struck Michael hard in the chest with his claw. Michael flew through the air, crashing into trees and rocks before finally crashing to the ground.

His body trembled violently from the excruciating pain.

He gritted his teeth and slowly rose to his feet.

"I've lost my senses. I can't see or hear my enemy," Michael thought to himself angrily.

Then he stood still, waiting for William's next attack. William grinned mockingly and charged at Michael. Michael stood his ground, clenching his fists, and waited for William to close in. William circled Michael and then attacked from behind.

Michael spun around with unseen speed and punched William hard in the jaw.

Boom!

The air trembled violently at Michael's blow, and William was sent flying, crashing into several trees and rocks. He then slid heavily to the ground.

"How could he strike me when he couldn't see or hear me?!" William thought to himself in shock.

He had reasoned that by depriving Michael of his senses, the fight would be easier, and he could defeat him with ease.

"If you're wondering how I managed to strike you, the answer is quite simple," Michael said slowly, turning to the stunned William.

"I am a Viking.

I was raised and nurtured on the battlefield. Sometimes the battles I fought were so intense that it didn't matter if you could see or hear.

All that mattered was that you brandished your sword and killed the enemy.

On the Viking battlefields, mountains of corpses and rivers of blood littered the ground, and the stench of death permeated everything.

Many times, my entire body was covered in the blood of my enemies.

And each time, I was unable to see or even hear what was happening.

Yet, I was still able to kill any enemy who came at me.

Because I could sense them; I could feel their intent to kill me.

I could feel their deadly attack. I could feel their swords closing in on my neck, wanting to take my life.

It doesn't matter if I can't see you or hear you, because I can feel you.

I can feel your jaws closing in on my body.

I can feel your hot breath on my skin.

I can feel the weight of your footsteps on the ground.

I can feel your intent to kill me".

Then Michael smiled mockingly at the stunned William and said, "And I can smell your rotten odor too."

William's expression contorted with intense rage, and he lunged at Michael. Michael raised his hands in front of him, straightened his posture, and waited for William's attack.

William leaped at Michael, but Michael dodged quickly and punched him in the stomach.

Then he grabbed William's neck and delivered a powerful blow to his head. William fell heavily to the ground, and before he could react, Michael stomped on his back.

Crack!

the sickening sound of bones breaking heard around the place.

Aaahhh!!

William cried out in agony, then felt Michael on top of him. Michael grabbed William's head and slammed it against the ground repeatedly.

William tried to get up and fight fiercely, but Michael grabbed his leg and brutally smashed it.

Crack!

Aaaahhhh!!

William screamed in pain, then opened his jaws and was about to bite Michael, but Michael punched the ground hard, then grabbed a handful of sand, gravel, and leaves and shoved them forcefully into William's mouth.

Ouuhhhhmmm!

William choked on the filth that had entered his mouth, and before he could react, Michael grabbed him by the neck and smashed his throat.

Crack!

The sound of bones breaking echoed again.

Aaaahhhhh!!!

William choked on his own blood and couldn't breathe. William's eyes widened in shock, then he reverted to his human form.

Michael sat on the exhausted William and grabbed his head, about to rip it off.

But he felt a sharp pain in his back and then something pierce his back and come out from his chest.

Aaaaahhhhhhh!!!

Michael screamed in pain and let go of William.

"Get... off... from..... my father!". Marcus screamed furiously, his eyes blazing with fury.

Marcus drove the nemton tree branch deeper into Michael's back.

Aaaahhhhh!!!

Michael screamed in pain and agony and fell to the ground As he struggled to pry the nemton branch from his back.

"Father!" Marcus cried out to his father in alarm, kneeling beside him.

"He's not breathing!" Marcus thought to himself angrily, then turned to Michael, who was still screaming in pain, struggling to pry the nemton branch from his body.

"You! Come here, you fucking bastard!"

Marcus said furiously, then strode towards Michael and grabbed his wrist. Marcus yanked Michael away angrily and bit him on the wrist.

"Aaaahhh!"

Michael screamed in pain again and tried to punch Marcus, but Marcus dodged the blow.

He then shoved Michael's wrist towards his father and shouted, "Drink, Father! Drink! The blood of the vampire will heal you!"

William's eyes widened, and he grabbed Michael's wrist and bit him viciously.

"Aaaahhhh!" Michael screamed again in agony.

He couldn't see or hear anything, and then something pierced his back and came out from his chest.

Something truly powerful. Something was enough to make him scream loudly and feel his blood boiling.

Then he felt someone bite his wrist.

And someone else bit his wrist and drank his blood too.

"You.... you bastards! I'll kill you all!".

Michael roared angrily and then punched Marcus hard. Marcus flew from the force of the blow, but landed safely on his feet.

William's eyes widened and glowed golden. He got up and punched Michael hard. Michael flew a great distance and landed hard on the ground.

William got up with a stumble and felt all his wounds heal from Michael's blood. William exhaled sharply and then looked at Marcus.

"Marcus! You're still alive! Where have you been?!".

Marcus wiped the blood from his mouth from Michael's punch. Then he said, "I'm glad to see you too, Father, but now is not the time to talk." Marcus looked at Michael when he finished speaking.

Michael got up with difficulty and then pulled the nemton tree branch from his chest in pain. Michael gripped the branch tightly and looked in the direction of Marcus and William.

"Coward!" Michael said fiercely.

"You couldn't defeat me on your own, so you brought someone else along. To stab me in the back?! You damned dogs don't know how to fight honorably!" .

Michael screamed furiously, using a neem tree branch as a crutch since he couldn't see.

William smirked, then looked at Marcus and said, "What do you think of what he said, son?" Marcus smiled and said, "Just the ramblings of an old man."

William smiled and said sarcastically, "Indeed. Now let's kill him and avenge for our pack and your brother, son."

"Yes, Father," Marcus replied, as his eyes and William's glowed a golden yellow, and William's glowed a golden yellow too.

Ruurrraaaahh!!

William's roared furiously, then he transformed into his wolf form.

Arrrraaaaaaahhh!!.

Marcus's roared furiously, then he too transformed into his wolf form. Marcus's wolf was snow-white and as large as a Siberian tiger.

Then Marcus and William charged fiercely toward Michael.

Michael gripped a neem tree branch tightly when he felt the air shake from Marcus and William's roar.

Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!

Then Michael, enraged, charged at them, wielding the nemton tree branch as a weapon.

The three of them leaped into the air and then collided violently with each other.

To be continued!!!
