Unleash the Beast: Cast
Story notes: We are still in S3 of the Originals. Just a reminder this is AU. Hayley is not a hybrid; Haylijah as in canon doesn’t exist; Gia is still alive; the Crescents were not left cursed as in canon. Although it was still a major jerk move on Klaus’ part to curse them it was done to fool Dahila and was lifted rather quickly in comparison to canon.
I, of course only own: Charlotte, EJ and Constance of the main characters. Some minor OC’s of mine may make appearances. Nor do I own any images.
Story introduction: After the events in Allow Me to Introduce... where secrets were revealed, the Original Family finds itself embarking on a brand new adventure as Elijah and Charlotte now have their son EJ with them. Elijah’s siblings adore their nephew resulting in a much more peaceful living environment. Elijah has made it clear the hostile environment they grew up in is not what he intends for his son.
The prophesy is still very real and a threat. The positive of the here and now is being allowed to outweigh what ifs while it lasts. Unfortunately, it doesn’t last long enough to suit them. And when their new peaceful existence and family life is interrupted by the Unholy Trinity, New Orleans may never be the same.
Elijah Mikaelson: Daniel Gillies
Charlotte Mikaelson: Natalia Tena
EJ Mikaelson: Lucas Sanson
Constance: Rita Hayworth
Cody: Brantley Gilbert
Author’s Note: Of course the other actual cast members are their characters. I only put Daniel’s picture for Elijah, well because he’s Daniel Gillies and who really needs an excuse for that.

Unleash the Beast: part 5
Elijah walks into his study a little while later, “It occurs to me that before this Tristan left an invitation to some gaudy gala last week. I’m going to pay him a visit to see what he says. Its possible he isn’t aware we know they have,” he chokes up and has to pause before he can say the words, “my son.”
“Elijah, are you sure you can do this? Without killing him?”
“I need information to find my son. I can maintain self-control for that. But please keep an eye on Charlotte. She is still sleeping but I haven’t forgotten the image of she and Aya in the prophesy.”
“We will,” Freya promises.
A little while later Elijah show up at the address from the invitation and is greeted by Tristan. “Ah, Elijah. We missed you at the gala.”
“I would apologize but my family function that I attended was deemed of more importance. Was there more to it than a simple gala?”
“There was going to be an initiation. However, our applicant chose your family event instead. So it ended up a simple gala.
“Ah, you must be referring to Marcel Gerard. Yes, he is considered to be part of our family as I am sure you were already aware.”
“Your ‘family’ seems to be growing of late. I do hope you take better care of them than you did your sirelings.”
“How do you mean ‘growing’ Tristan?”
“The boy and his witch mother. I’ve noticed them about with your family of late.”
The desire to rip his throat out is almost overwhelming. “Constance is who I assume you mean by the witch. She is an old friend. I had not seen her in decades so it has been nice catching up.”
“And the boy?”
He could almost see the glee in Tristan’s eyes wanting a reaction from Elijah.
“Tristan, what concern is this boy to you?”
“Only in as much as he has been seen with you. Curious is all.”
“Well, don’t trouble yourself, Tristan. I’m sure you are much too busy to concern yourself with a small boy that means nothing to you.”
“Ah, but if he means something to you...” Tristan left the sentence hanging.
“If he means something to me then what Tristan?”
“Well, if he does then perhaps we should do the boy a favor and remove him from your presence,” Aya says as she walks into the room. “After all, you claimed that the Stryx meant something to you and you left us behind to be slaughtered.”
Before Elijah can reply his phone rings. He checks it and sees that it is Freya so he answers fearing the worst. He is unable to keep a straight face with the news he was delivered.
“Is something wrong, Elijah,” Aya asks. “Did someone do what was best for the boy after all?” Aya says as she walks past Elijah.
Aya’s smug expression turns to one of surprise as she looks at her chest. When Elijah turns around he grins and steps up beside Aya.
“Well, it looks as though Tristan decided to leave you here with us. Oh by the way Aya. Allow me to introduce my wife, Charlotte.” She is unable to speak as she watches Charlotte’s eyes and looks back down at her hand in Aya’s chest and feels the woman’s fist squeezing her heart.
“Aya, I’m going to ask you this one time. Where is the boy?”
“Better off away from you and ugh,” she ends in a gasp.
“Tell me where he is Aya,” Charlotte insists.
“What difference does it make to you? He may say he loves you but he will leave you as soon as you become inconvenient for him.”
“Actually, Aya, I have been married to Charlotte for over 90 years. She knows exactly who you are and our history. Charlotte? What are your thoughts on Aya here?”
“My thoughts are she had better tell me where the boy is or I will send her to oblivion.”
“What do you care about some witch bitch’s bastard chi...” she never finished her sentence. Her body hit the floor with a thud while Charlotte stood there holding her heart in her fist.
Unleash the Beast: Epilogue
Elijah and Klaus hurry back to the compound to clean up and be reunited with EJ. During all this time Elijah is turning over in his mind how to explain things to his young son.
When the brothers walk into Elijah’s study to join the rest of the family EJ is the center of attention. Both men are all smiles as they regard the young man being fawned over by his mother and aunts.
“EJ, come here son,” Elijah quietly says. Hearing his dad’s voice EJ is in his arms half a moment later. “Are you ok, EJ? Did they hurt you?”
“They tried. I wouldn’t let them hurt me. It made them really mad,” the boy says with a laugh.
“Did you use magic to protect yourself?”
As the boy nods Klaus asks, “Is that what you did with Hope as well?”
“Yes sir. Those guys hurt Aunt Con. I wouldn’t let them hurt Hope.”
“You have my heartfelt thanks for that EJ.”
“So you know you’re a first born Mikaelson witch. Constance told us that. Your Aunt Freya and your cousin Hope are also firstborn witches of our family,” Elijah begins. “Has anyone told you anything else about your family?”
“They said you and Uncle Niklaus were bad men. I called them liars.”
Klaus and Elijah both smiled at that before Klaus spoke up, “EJ, I want to be honest with you. I was a very different person until a few years ago. I was mean and cruel. Now all I want is to protect you and Hope and give the two of you a better life than your parents and I have known.”
“What else did they say?”
“Stuff that didn’t make sense.”
“Well, let me try to explain.” Elijah takes a moment before he looks around the room with a smile and begins. “Our family is made up of several different groups of people. You will find as you grow up that the world is made up of very different groups. There are both good and bad people in each group. Generally, the bad ones get the most attention and cause groups to not like each other.”
He takes a moment to appreciate the people in the room and the smiles on their faces.
“Our family is very unusual in that we have so many groups represented. Your Uncle Niklaus and I do not have the same dad. That means that he is from two different groups because of his parents. Then when all of my brothers and sister and I had a spell put on us that changed us into a new group.
Humans, they have stories about supernatural groups of people that contain little to no fact and are meant to be entertainment.
Vampires.
The spell put on us made us the first vampires. We have to drink blood to survive but generally speaking we do not kill people for their blood.”
Klaus picked up the story at this point,
“Werewolves.
My actual father was a werewolf. True werewolves appear mainly human other than on the full moon. On those nights they transform into a type of wolf. Hope’s mom and Jackson are werewolves. Because of the spell put on us siblings, I am a hybrid. A mixture between a vampire and a werewolf.”
“Now, EJ, most humans do not know that these groups are real. People in individual groups don’t always like the other groups.”
“So what does that make Hope?”
“I guess you could say tribrid. She has both vampire and werewolf blood while also being a witch. Generally, you can’t be more than 1 group but our family tends to be the exception and not the rule.”
“Well I think it’s stupid to not like people just because they are different,” EJ announced.
Everyone laughed at his announcement.
“I always want to be honest with you EJ,” Elijah begins. He looks to Charlotte who nods knowing where he plans on going with this as they had discussed it previously. “There are people who are afraid of our family and there are people who hate us. And, honestly some of them for good reason. Unfortunately that may mean that people treat you unfairly because of your family name...”
“If they don’t like me because of my family then it’s their problem,” EJ quietly replies. Elijah hugs the little boy tightly.
“So much like his Father,” Klaus says with a laugh.
“There’s an old saying that ‘it takes a whole village to raise a child’. The Mikaelsons, including our extended family are certainly a small village on our own. Everyone in this room loves you son. They will all be here for you to love you and protect you.”
People are nodding in agreement all around the room.
“Anytime you have a question about something or you don’t understand something or need help, anyone of us will do what we can to help you.”
He pauses as he looks around the room.
“What Charlotte and I ask of all of you is simple. If he ever comes to you please be there for him. If he has questions about things you are unsure of how to answer him, please answer what you can but come to she or I for the other. There are some things that he will need to be older before we try to explain.
Now, EJ. In front of everyone I’m asking you, do you have any questions for any of us?”
So ends the epilogue. If there is an interest in exploring what his questions might be and how they will answer him I would be delighted to write such a story. In fact, if anyone has a question they would like EJ to ask his family, send the questions to me and I will include it.

Unleash the Beast: pt 6
“I guess things went as well as can be expected,” Klaus asks as Elijah and Charlotte return to the compound.
“Aya is dead. Tristan fled. But from what they both said they were under the impression that EJ is Constance’s son and took him because he’s been seen with us all.”
“And you can spare him the disapproving look. I’m the one that killed Aya. He was calm on the outside anyway.”
“They had no clue that Charlotte is my wife. They seemed to hint that they thought I was with Constance. Incidentally, what got her killed was saying that EJ was “a witch bitch’s bastard child,” is how I think she intended to finish the statement. She was dead before the last word had left her mouth.”
“I know I should have tried to get more information out of her and I’m sorry. Her saying they took him and he’s better off away from us and calling him that, I...”
“Come here Love,” Elijah soothes as he pulls her close. “I wanted to rip Tristan’s throat out before then so I understand.”
Klaus had been quite listening to the couple discuss what happened.
“And what of Tristan?” Klaus asks.
“He fled when Charlotte showed up. Left Aya there with us. My question for Cody, was Aya the third person he meant or was there someone else. A redhead perhaps?”
——————— 2 days later —————
“It’s been 2 damn days since we heard from them!” Elijah shouts. “I can’t just sit here!”
Klaus is watching his brother with great concern. “Cody should be here soon.”
Cody has mentioned that there were several warehouses around the city that he has heard Tristan had bought. He was on his way back with records to figure out what properties have been purchased by Tristan, Lucien and their dummy corporations in the last 6 months.
When Cody arrives he joins the brothers in Elijah’s study. They have a map laid out of the city and are marking areas they need to check looking for any sign of where they may be. Josh and Marcel have been helping with the search.
Meanwhile, Vincent and Davina have been locked away with Freya working on something.
———————— 3 after that ——————
Once the properties have been marked on the map they begin a methodical search through the city. Each location is marked through once it has been searched. They are running out of places to search having been relentless the past 3 days. Elijah is becoming more volatile as the hours pass.
“Brother, come with me,” Klaus orders. It’s obvious Elijah doesn’t want to but the look in Klaus’ eye convinces him to go. They walk up the stairs to EJ’s bedroom. Elijah looks at Klaus as if he is betraying him.
“Elijah, please brother.”
The pair go inside and sit on the boy’s bed. Elijah automatically picks up the Build a Bear dressed like him and hugs it to him.
“Elijah, I know you are hurting. I know you are scared. I know you are worried about your son and your wife. I’m also worried about you. These past few days brother you have acted more like me than yourself.”
“It’s easier to be angry and push the rest to the back of my mind. Everything else I’m feeling makes me feel weak unless I am sharing...”
“Sharing it with Charlotte. I know. But she needs you to keep it together brother. EJ needs you to keep it together. At least until we locate him. Then by all means let it all go on the ones who took him from you,” Klaus begins to walk away and leave Elijah in his sons room.
“Niklaus, I know you’re right,” Elijah begins.
Klaus senses his hesitation and closes the bedroom door before turning back to his brother. “But?”
“I just feel lost... I don’t know what I will do if I lose him...”
Klaus embraces his big brother and let’s him cry and get it out. “I don’t intend on you finding out. I fear if I lose my nephew I lose my brother with him. I can’t lose either of you.”
“And if I’m being honest, Niklaus I’m terrified if I lose him I lose her as well. I realize you all are not aware of her past. You will understand much by simply knowing before we met she lived at, that horrid brothel on canal street ran by Gus, which is the building I pulled her from and why she needed help leaving the city.”
He can tell Klaus understands what horrid conditions his lovely Charlotte had to endure before the fire.
“She was one of those girls,” he asks.
“There have many traumas she has lived through. I don’t know that she would survive this loss.”
“We will get him back brother,” Klaus says with a renewed confidence. “We have to. There is too much at stake.”

Unleash the Beast: pt. 8 UNLEASHED
When Elijah arrives onsite he remains outside the perimeter studying the layout and placement of guards. He picks his way around the perimeter taking out guards one by one. When he is confident he has removed all of the threats on the outside he still remains in the shadows studying. He can afford no mistakes.
“Brother, would you please allow us to help you,” Klaus asks.
“Niklaus, I’m going to kill every single one of them that laid a finger on my son,” he says through gritted teeth as he tries desperately to control himself.
“Elijah?” Charlotte’s voice is soft and low. He hears the fear and the pain in her voice. Whatever was left intact of his heart shatters in that moment. He turns to pull her against him.
“I’m here my love,” Elijah whispers against her ear. “I’m here.” The couple clings to each other as silent tears stream.
“Elijah, I know you’ve cleared the perimeter. What would you like us to do next?”
“They have,” he pauses as his voice cracks. “EJ is on the second floor. There are guards with him but he seems ok. He isn’t tied up and doesn’t appear to have been injured.”
“Charlotte, If we keep the rest of them busy downstairs do you think you can get to EJ and get him out?”
“Absolutely,” she says without hesitation. “Just take care of him for me Niklaus,” she whispers against Elijah’s cheek. “I can’t loose either of them tonight.”
“I will be fine love,” Elijah assures her.
“I’m concerned that I might loose you to the darkness. Please don’t let it win Elijah. EJ and I need you. The you that is only lethal when defending his family and would choose compulsion over killing. The real you.”
Elijah takes a deep breath and squeezes her to him.
“I give you my word Charlotte. No matter what happens in the next little while, when we have our son back, you will have the husband you know and the father he needs.”
“Thank you for that,” she whispers as she kisses his cheek. “Now, lets get our son.”
———————-
Klaus and Elijah walk onto porch of the old house eliminating anyone who tries to stop them. When they reach the front door and find it locked they laugh as Klaus kicks it in. They walk into the foryer and see Tristan and Lucien on the balcony overlooking them.
“Where is my son?”
The question is loud enough for anyone inside to hear him.
“Dad!”
“EJ! It’s ok son. Uncle Niklaus and I are here to get you.”
“Why do you insist on calling him your son? You haven’t adopted him and you can’t procreate,” Tristan says with a laugh.
“Oh he is his son Tristan. That boy is my blood. That lovely witch that was with him used a spell that allowed them to conceive. She used other magic to hide him and keep him safe, even from us until a few weeks ago.”
Several of the vampires in the room suddenly looked very uncomfortable.
“This boy really is the biological son of an Original and was kidnapped?”
“Yes,” Elijah replies through gritted teeth. “My wife and I did not know about him till recently and then they had the unmitigated gaul to break into our home, kill his caretaker and steal him from us.”
Mumbling filled the room. “Look, we didn’t know the boy was yours or that he was kidnapped. We were just told he was with them and you were coming to take him. We want nothing to do with this.”
“Those of you who leave now will be allowed to do so and live. If you stay you will be shown no mercy or forgiveness.”
Many of those gathered in the house left immediately. All that remains are members of the Stryx and a handful of others. Lucien walks out on the balcony holding EJ to him.
“Dad!”
“EJ! Son, I need you to do something for me. Close your eyes and do not open them until I tell you to. Promise me.”
“Yes sir. I promise,” and with that the boy closes his eyes.
Elijah smiles as EJ obeys and then looks around the house.
“Gentlemen? Shall we?”
And with those 3 words a fury such as even hell itself could not rival bursts forth from the elegant Original. The closest thing to his ire was that of his brother.
The pair ripped and tore their way through anything that came near them. It was a gruesome and gory battle that saw hearts ripped out, heads torn off as well as other limbs and a terrible sound of anger and fury that was unmatched by even nature’s most severe storms.
During the turmoil Charlotte made her way up behind Lucien and punched through his back and grabbed his heart. He immediately released EJ who sank to the floor. Charlotte turned Lucien’s body enough so he could see who held his life literally in her hand.
“How dare you’re filthy, disgusting, vile hands touch my sweet little boy!?!”
Whatever response he intended to make is lost as she brutally tears his heart out and drops it at her feet. She picks up EJ as she whispers comfort to him. She uses her speed and stops on the front porch.
“I have him. Let’s go home.”
Elijah looks and sees his wife and son on the porch and motions for them to go. Charlotte complies but only because she can see there are still many fighting inside. He turns and makes it a point to locate Tristan who is trying to slip out.
Elijah is in front of him a second later with his heart in his fist. Tristan looks down at his chest and then up at Elijah.
“I didn’t think...”
“You have never known me Tristan, even though you have presumed to do so for centuries. The one thing that will never change about me is that I put my family above all others.”
With that he unceremoniously rips the heart from Tristan’s chest. As he drops it to the floor he looks around the room. It looks like something from a horror movie.
“Come on brother, let’s get you home and cleaned up so you can see your son.”

When the Children cry... part 2
Little child, you must show the wayTo a better way, for all the young, cause you were born for the world to see that we all can live with love and peace... one United world, under God.
“Daddy why do people in the Quarter look at us like that?”
“Like What EJ?”
“Some people seem scared. Some are angry. It’s weird to me.”
“Do you remember me telling you our family is made up of different groups?”
“Yes sir.”
“The people looking at us in different ways are from different groups would be my guess,” Elijah explains.
“I don’t get it. I’m part witch and vampire. So why should either one not like me? Hope is witch, vampire and wolf. Why should they not like her?”
“People tend to fear the unknown and anything different. You are both to them.”
“But it’s stupid,” EJ begins.
“EJ, calling people stupid isn’t going to change anything.”
“I didn’t say they were stupid Dad. I said it’s stupid. The fear.”
“Go on. Tell me what you think. I’m curious.”
“If they fear the unknown then why not make it known? Walk up and introduce yourself. Stop assuming you know what I think or how I feel and ask me.”
“That would make sense but convincing them of that might take a miracle.”
“So I won’t convince them.”
Elijah remains quite for a few moments allowing the silence to stretch.
“So what is the answer then?”
“All I can do is try to show them who I am. I’m not someone who hurt them or scared them. I have nothing against them. I don’t know them. I’d like to get to know them. Eventually, someone will give me a chance to get to know them and them me. Then, maybe things can change.”
