Chapter 4: No More Sleep

LUCY CASTLE

Takes place during Episode 7 of The Originals, High Water and a Devil's Daughter

I've been asleep for sometime. But now. . . I am waking up. She opened her eyes. Darkness. A confined suffocating space. She struggled. Opening the top half of her coffin she was placed in by the Mikaelsons. There was a small glass window lighting and thunder flashed outside. Brining brief light. She was weak but she was angry. They kept her asleep with the sleep spell for so long and she hadn't had human blood in what felt like forever.

She groaned in pain. The room was dark. She backed up slightly and slowly. Almost falling over something. She gained her balance back. Managing to locate the wall to help support her weak frail almost desiccated state. She found a light switch. She flicked it on. A single light bulb illuminated the room.

A staircase to her left. Her coffin behind her. Several barrels are in the corner of the room. Freedom ahead of her. She heard a commotion upstairs. CRASH!

She tip-toed up the stairs, pushing open the door silently. Making her way into a hallway finding another set of stairs and door. Finally coming to a door pushing it open slightly seeing Klaus in the courtyard of the Mikaelson compound down below. A man dressed in black and several men similarly fashioned entering the compound. "Impressive boundary spell. Unfortunately, it only lasts as long as the witch who cast it." Freya? They killed her? That would explain why I am awake. She felt angry but she couldn't do much in her current state and considering she had been asleep for sometime the Mikaelson's didn't trust her still she can't just rush into the fray to try to help Klaus.

She needed to get out of here now. CRASH! She looked back down Klaus was fighting all of the men single handily by himself. She vamped speed down stairs towards the door past both groups in a blink. Only Klaus would be able to hear her but she heard him screaming the witch boss man seemed to have gained a slight upper hand it seems she was hearing with her vampire hearing. She was now outside running away. Turning right and left entering an alleyway.

It started to rain. She ran some more for what felt like an eternity. She rounded a street corner seeing the the distance a human woman with an umbrella on her way home probably she made haste after her. She needed blood.

"I need help!" Lucy's voice croaked she was weak. The woman turned to look at her, "What? WHOA! GET-" Grabbing her and biting the woman's neck drinking deep but just enough to restore her and not kill her. She was a mature vampire when it came to blood she learned to self-discipline her drinking long ago. "You will forget this happened," She told the woman looking her in the eyes. "Put a scarf over that nasty wound, keep it covered until it heals." The woman nodded leaving. Lucy body started to return the normal as the blood did it's work. She felt strong she was soaked by the rain she would have to get new clothes and get off the streets if the Mikaelsons found out she had escaped or saw her she would be question or worse another sleep spell or even maybe ****. . .She didn't want to think of it.
