«That resurrection must have been eating your brain cells, my friend. For the last time: The brothers, Hope and I are working TOGETHER. Besides, I stand with the woman I love. No one else.» He cared about Wyatt. He would always care, but if it came down to it he would not hesitate to put his girlfriend first. This time Jace simply could not help himself: He burst into full blown LAUGHTER and he needed a moment to pull it back together. «So you honestly believe your niece answers to anybody other than herself?» That was too funny. «I don’t care if they have a use for it. Teaching you my version of the spell is DANGEROUS and frankly, you are not exactly motivating me to change my mind.»

Henrik’s fists tightened. “You don’t have the right to speak about my Mother. You’re not my family. You don’t know her.” He stated in a rising tone. He didn’t understand why his Mother had done the things she had--but the women he knew her as was all that came to mind when he thought of her before his thoughts drifted to the darker truths. 

“Working together? You really think that’s going to last? Chris, yeah, he could get along with others. Wyatt? He’s got a need to demonstrate his power that reminds me of what Kol showed me about Niklaus.” He stated. “Love? Hope? Wow, yeah that won’t go over well with Niklaus at all...” He muttered. Nik had barely had the tolerance for him to mention Hope’s name in certain context. 

“I don’t know Hope enough to know what she would or wouldn’t do!” He stated. “And I don’t care if it is dangerous! The entire world is dangerous! I think you’re just afraid someone might be able to put it to better use than you are.” He said before his gaze narrowed and he boldly stepped one foot forward again. “And what if I do step towards you? You claim you love Hope, at least from what I can gather? She seemed interested in getting to know her Uncle.... don’t know how she’d take you doing something because he ‘stepped’ towards you.” He mouthed off. At that moment, he was tired of feeling inferior to everyone he spoke to.

“And I didn’t want to believe it. I don’t… want to believe any of that. But it didn’t make a difference. I still married the love of my life and then when i needed her to save me from the darkness, she killed me.”

Henrik looked over at the man. “Then don’t believe it. Maybe the woman you loved killed you; but maybe she didn’t have a choice in her mind?” He tried to help the other, but knew he wasn’t very good at giving advice--having really only had about fifteen years tops of good real-world experiences to draw from--and none of them involving lovers.

Caroline listened intently, her expression showing her emotions at what he was telling her. She was mad at Mikael, outrage for his treatment of Klaus and his siblings and sad for all the pain all of it had caused Klaus. Her expression softened as she pictured a young Klaus been kind and gentle. 

Knowing it had been centuries of hatred and betrayal, of feeling rejected and vilified that had hardened Klaus. But he had showed her that softer side of him and she was now realizing what a huge deal that was. “I’m glad you could avoid that…it just pains me to hear that Klaus had to endure all that all of his life”.  She gave him a small sad smile. 

Henrik nodded quietly. “Even when my family became Originals, Father chased them down to exterminate the monsters he had forced Mother to create. Mother and Father... they were willing to destroy their own children.” He trailed off with a small sigh as he quietly ate on what was left of his sandwich. “I wish Father and Mother were here... if only so I can ask them ‘why’ for myself.”

Caroline bit her lip while she thought about all she wanted to know, “How was Klaus when you were younger? He has told me Mikael was very cruel to him, but I want to understand a little more about what made your father hate Klaus so much. Why did he hurt him so much?”. 

Henrik frowned slightly at her question, but gave her a nod as he gazed at the floor. “Father was... always angry.” He said. “I don’t remember there being many times were he wasn’t angry. He never... got angry with me. It was normally Niklaus, but sometimes our other siblings too.” He explained. “I don’t know why Father hated Nik. Maybe there was some part of him that just knew he wasn’t his real son? Or maybe... he was just that way.” He said, the last part shifting into a sad tone.

“Father wanted all of us Mikaelson men to be strong and have a warrior spirit. Nik was kind-hearted and gentle, preferring things like art to fghting and I think that made Father even angrier with him. I think I only avoided the same fate because I was the baby of the family...”

Caroline nodded and looked at him, “Well, at least you know Lizzie. She can introduce you to her friends”. She bit her lip, “Can I ask you something? About when your family were humans”. She was curious about how they had been back then but she didn’t want to overwhelm Henrik. 

Henrik munched on the food and smiled. “Yeah, that sounds nice.” He said after swallowing before looking at her with a curious expression at her question. “You can ask me anything, Caroline. It’s okay.” He said kindly before carefully hopping himself up onto the counter across from her.

«What could you POSSIBLY offer me?» It was not a challenge, it was a fact: There was not a thing that Henrik could give him that he didn’t already have. «I WOULD. I wouldn’t even ask for anything in return, but I can’t. This is not just ANY spell, Henrik. This is something that could be lethal.» The male’s question made Jace narrow his eyes in complete and utter DISBELIEF. «You’re joking, right? I’m practicing with the Halliwells - do you really think that the name Mikaelson is going to impress me enough to change my mind? Wait, let me correct myself: Bring me someone like Esther Mikaelson and maybe, just MAYBE, I will be impressed.» He gave him yet another roll of his eyes while he crossed his arms. «I didn’t even share it with Hope. You can’t expect me to share it with you.»

Jace’s words made Henrik shake his head and curl his fists in mild frustration. “Jace, I’m not going to go around teaching this spell to everyone and their mother if that’s what you think.” He remarked. “Don’t talk about my Mother.” He stated firmly. He took a step towards the other, moving in motion with his words as the other emphasized not sharing it with him after not sharing with Hope.

It was an odd thing to feel: irritation. He hadn’t felt it much since he came back, but when he did it was like it dragged with it the anger and frustration of every other situation in his life. He knew Jace was correct about everything. He had nothing to offer him; no leverage. The Mikaelson name wasn’t as threatening to someone working alongside Wyatt Halliwell. All of that just made him more irritated.

 “Hope stands with Chris Halliwell. If you’re with Wyatt, yeah it wouldn’t make sense for you to share something like that with her.” He stated. “I’m not with either of the brothers. I answer to myself; and to my family. That’s it. There’s no one I’m going to go running off to teach a language spell when the only people I know are over a thousand years old and don’t have a use for it!” He declared.

“You’re very strong, Henrik. I can see now that the strength really runs in your family“. She smiled and hop onto the counter, sipping her soda. “She’s Lizzie’s twin sister. Maybe you’ll meet her some time here or around the town, this town isn’t so big after all“. 

“Nah, I don’t think I am.” He laughed shyly and shook his head a few times. He took a few bites of sandwich and washed them down with some soda before speaking again. “Maybe I will. I like meeting new people.” He smiled over at her.

“As i said-” he breathed, taking a slow sip of his drink. “I’m half human. My father was mortal. I have a soul. Whatever good it is to me. I can feel. I know how to act civil. Made me a very good demon when i was alive. One of the best. And also lead to my death because it doesn’t matter what we do. Or how hard we try to be better. We are a demon. We are evil. And nothing can change that. Not falling in love. Not wanting to be better. Doesn’t change what you are in.”

Henrik shook his head some. “Nah, I don’t believe that.” He said simply, as if it was as easy as that to decide. “I don’t think anyone is made to be anything. I think it all comes down to your own choice and anything else is just... excuses?” He tried to explain.

When he saw the water in his eyes. Klaus felt his own. The ones he had been using anger and focus to avoid thinking about. To think about the fact that Henrik was really here. He sighed softly at his little brother and moved towards him, wrapping his arms around his little brother, pulling him into a hug. It felt so long and over due.  

“I’m sorry I wasn’t here when you woke up.” He felt like he had missed so much. Been asleep too long. His family had needed him and he hadn’t been here. “But I’m here now.” He smiled. “Plus Kol would be a terrible hype man about this century. We have alot of things to see and do now that you are back.” 

Henrik stepped back slightly as Niklaus came closer, but the other’s arms were around him before he made any real distance. He hesitated, listening to the other’s words before slowly wrapping his arms around his Brother. “It’s not your fault you weren’t there.” he spoke softly before chuckling ever-so-lightly. “Kol... hasn’t been that bad, Nik.” He assured him before giving him a slight nod. “Yeah.. there are a lot of things I have missed out on.” He agreed.

“And neither was anyone else. The war is only knew from what i know. And before that i can tell you that people didn’t know about us. We blend in. We control. We destroy.” It held alot of truth that. That demons destroyed because that’s what he did to Phoebe. In loving her he destroyed her. “I don’t know,” he said honestly. “Maybe but also the death of his family could have done that. People can turn to darkness due to life too. It doesn’t have to be demonic influence.” But he did wonder what happened to him. “Of course it is. A demon at it’s core is just that. Cruel and dark and evil. It’s not just a word for us. It’s what we are.”

Henrik’s brow furrowed. He didn’t want to believe a creature existed that was just an incarnation of unadulterated cruelty and evil. Surely there were some good demons, right? “So, if you’re cruel and dark and evil... why are you talking to me so civilly?” He asked curiously. “Why aren’t you, you know, controlling and destroying?”

Klaus hated to think about it when would happen in 100 years time but now was not the time to get caught in that doubt. “You only have one life time, Henrik. You, Freya and Hope. You don’t have to live the way we have. You have one life time to do everything you want. See the world. Fall in love. Do not get caught up in this families past. Hope has and i regret it.”

He sighed when he saw the look in his eyes. When he realized that’s what this was what it was all about. Klaus knew that look all to well. That he didn’t want to be weak. “We don’t love you because you have magic, Henrik.” 

The young witch kept his gaze averted from the other as he spoke on his limited lifetime. It was the truth, after all. He wasn’t immortal and eventually he would grow old and pass away once more. It was a truth Henrik had come to terms with early on after his return. He wasn’t sure what to say to his brother. He understood, mostly, where Niklaus was coming from by not wanting him to be involved with the family’s history and tangled web of a past. He understood, but he didn’t want to leave his family. He didn’t have anyone else. 

It was at Klaus’ final words that Henrik felt a sting in his eyes as he blinked back misty vision. “I know...” He spoke quietly.

“You have really don’t know alot about the world you live in, how is the supernatural out and you don’t know any of this? Have the demons managed to trick everyone,” he questioned. “When comparing them to demons. They are. We find them pathetic wastes of evil. Because no matter what, their humanity controls them. It’s all emotions and feelings for them. Even needing to feed of the blood of humans to live.” He chuckled. “Depends on the demon. but there is a power like none other turning someone that’s a good soul into something dark. The souls of good driven to dark actions and then death due to demonic influence is worth more then gold.”

Henrik frowned at his words. “I wasn’t a part of this world until two years ago.” He stated shortly. “Is that what happened to Wyatt?” He asked bluntly. “People say he was this destined force of good, but he was darkened enough to start this war.” He said. “That doesn’t sound like anything to be proud about.” He frowned once more. “Corrupting someone... leading them down a dark path. That’s just cruel.” He said.

“And till I had Hope i would have agreed. Jobs and schooling and everything about being in the human world was a waste to me. We could take it as a family. Compel for it. Buy it even. But Hayley reminded me that there is an innocence to doing things like everyone else. To growing up the way humans do. You want to truly live in this century. Then don’t hide behind our power. You only grow up once, don’t waste it because you think you have to be good at magic to be apart of this family.”

Henrik let out a quiet breath and just thought about Klaus’ words. He didn’t need to grow up, did he? He was already grown--physically and mostly mentally. He didn’t quite understand the appeal to involving himself in things like school and jobs when there were more important things for him to worry about right now. “Maybe someday, Brother.” He stated softly. “Maybe someday.” 

He simply looked over the hybrid when he said not to waste the chance because of thinking he needed to be strong in magic for the family. Didn’t he though? If he wasn’t, he would always be the weakest link in the family. He’d always be the one everyone needed to worry over and go out of their way to protect. He had enough of that sibling protection growing up the first time. He wanted to be useful to them, not a burden. Yet, he remained silent and just looked around at the scenery around them for a moment.

“How do you expect to adjust if you aren’t spending time around humans? Hiding in Kol’s attic reading spell books isn’t going to help you learn about this century and if you intend to stay then-“ then Klaus has no idea how he was going to protect him and Hope. Caroline’s words about his family being immortal and able to protect themselves was becoming more and more untrue. “You could get a job instead.” Or Klaus could lock henrik and hope in the house so no one could hurt them. But that would have to be a backup plan. He had to at least try this way.

“Kol says I don’t need a job; he’s compelled enough people to cover just about anything I would need.” He retorted before shaking his head. “I don’t spend all of my time reading spell books. I get out in the town... talk to people..” He spoke as he fidgeted once more.

“Just because I know how to control myself and know wrong and right doesn’t change what I am. Though I am happy to correct you that pure blood demons. They are evil without debate. They don’t have a soul or the ability to feel. It would be impossible for them to be good. Vampires and-“ he chuckled. “Wolves. They aren’t even on the same scale as the rest of us. The underworld doesn’t even count them as one of us. Vampires where humans first and if anything they have just increased their humanity with the inhanced emotions. And wolves…. never really bothered to have anything to do with them. Just humans with a gift. Not worth trying to turn evil.”

Henrik listened as Cole spoke about pure-blooded demons. “They don’t have a soul. Interesting...” He mumbled some before giving a small chuckle. “I don’t know if vampires are really able to be considered as having ‘more’ humanity than humans.” He spoke truthfully. Not even his own family could pass for that statement. “Turn evil.... wait, so demons go around trying to make people evil or something?” He asked in confusion.

Caroline felt bad for him, imagining what he went through, coming back after so long to a completely different world. “It must had been so scary, coming into this incredibly different world, knowing  no one…”. This was a very strong guy, just like all of his siblings. She smiled when he told her about Lizzie, “She went to spend some time with her father, but she’s back now. Have you met my other daughter Josie?”. 

Henrik slowly shook his head some, giving a few nods here and there as well. “It was... but I’m dealing.” He answered as simply as he could. “Josie? Uh, no, I don’t believe I have had the pleasure of meeting her.” He responded with a smile.

henrik -

“What’s so bad about people knowing?” He asked curiously before shaking his head. He smiled some when Jace confirmed he did in fact know such a spell; but the smile faltered when he played coy. “I thought that was pretty obvious.” He retorted with a small roll of his eyes. “I need you to teach it to me, Jace.” He said. “I can only learn so much magic being restricted to this English language that was stuck in my head.” He explained.

«It’s an important spell - you of all people should know that, why else would you be here? Just try to IMAGINE all of the things that could go wrong if certain people learned how to use it.» It would be bad. Not just for him, but for EVERY single creature on their planet that was fighting for peace. «Huh. And what makes you think that I’m going to DO that?»

[bcbymikaelson-blog]

Henrik sighed heavily. "Jace come on... I need this." He said. "Look, I'll do whatever needs to be done for it. Just teach me it? Please?" He spoke. He fidgeted some and was quiet a moment. "Besides, wouldn't it be just a little satisfying to know you had to teach a Mikaelson witch something?" He remarked.
