Author's note: what should Evie's and Kol's twins be?

Chapter Ten, Bachelor Slaughter

As the months went by, Evie's pregnancy went along nicely, with the couple wanting to wait until the baby's born to find out its genders. There had been some concerns- on Kol and Kai's part - that Evie could be carrying triplets as she herself was one; and Kai remembered how hard that particular pregnancy was for his mother, he didn't want that for his sister. However, their concerns were only slightly lessened with the first scan when it revealed that the Gemini Curse had struck again; Evie was carrying twins. After that scan, or even before that unconsciously, Evie had sworn to herself that her children will never go through or know the fear of The Merge, something that everyone agreed with her; for they knew how much it frightened her.

The aftermath of the first scan had filled Evie with love and frustration in equal measures, as Kai, Kol and Marcel had become extremely overprotective- more so if that could be believed - they had one of the vampires always following her around as she and Davina brought things for the quickly approaching wedding (items they didn't trust the men to get accurately).

Although, some good had come out of this arrangement as Evie and Davina had become very good friends with two new vampires, Josh and Holly or the Rosza twins as they dub themselves when up to mischief. Which brings us to now; Evie's Hen-Do, organised by one Davina Claire, held in Evie's house and attended by Josh and Holly. As Evie was now six months pregnant, Davina had decided to hold a soothing massage Hen-Do. They had professional maternity masseurs, who knew the best way to help pregnant women relax; candles lit around the living room with aroma candles mixed with normal ones creating a soothing and sweet smelling atmosphere that was good for both Evie and the babies.

There were face massages and facials; mud masks; mud baths upstairs (they hired someone to clean it after each use) and manicure and pedicures.
It was all paid for by Kol and Marcel - both of whom had not only accumulated a lot of money over the centuries - but they also wanted only the best for Evie. A tray of nibbles made by Evie, along with drinks that were suitable for both Evie and Davina (one pregnant and one underage) and drinks mixed with blood for Josh and Holly were laid out on the coffee table.

What Evie didn't know however, was instead of starting his Bachelor party (drinking whiskey and blood) with Kai, Marcel, Thierry and a few others, they were lying in wait on the edge of New Orleans for the witch and vampire Evie's horrible siblings had sent to find her. Thank the Goddess Hecate for Marcel and his spies everywhere. Kol was itching to unleash his Herratic side, for no one threatened his love and his forever, and lived to tell it. Besides, what better way to bond with your in-laws than a killing spree? No? Oh, well perhaps it was just Kol then. Least he'd found others who were just like him and could admit it instead of pretending they're not like him and are better than him like his so-called family.

"Someone's coming." Thierry whispered. "And in a car." He was confused as to why they'd travel so slowly when they could just run?
"Finally!" Kol and Kai purred, vicious smirks upon their lips, they spared a glare at each other before they cast their spells. This would be fun but perhaps too easy. The two approaching were no match for either of them due to their Herratic nature let alone being accompanied by Marcel, Thierry, Sampson and Roscoe. As the car died and a barrier formed so there would be no escape, the Gerard-Mikaelson Coven waited in the trees and the bushes for the most opportune moment to strike.

As the two left the safe confines of their car, standing beneath the gleaming street lamps and the full moon, it revealed a man and a woman. The man was around Kai's height with mousy brown hair and cold grey eyes, whereas, the woman who was obviously a vampire as she paused to listen to her surroundings as black veins appeared beneath her eyes had horribly dyed pink and purple hair doubly put up in a bun and blue eyes.
A growl escaped Kai's lips, his eyes turning dark but glowing burgundy red with jet black veins beneath his eyes.

He'd just spotted the man he recognised all too well; his father.
"What is it?" Marcel hissed at him, fearing he'd give the game away too soon.
"That bastard is mine and Evie's father!" Kai hissed, shaking with rage; the others paused as their own eyes revealed their true nature as anger overtook them.
"You mean the one who wants to subject Evie to this - Merge with her triplets, the triplets who hate and despise her and who would gang up on her so she dies?" Thierry growled, he'd become very overprotective of the sweet little Gemini witch, much like all the other vampires in Marcel's coven - well the Gerard-Mikaelson Coven now since Kol and Evie had joined them, followed by Kai.

"Yes!" Kai hissed.
"I'm going to flay the skin from his bones!" Kol growled, thankful he'd put a barrier around them so they could hear the newcomers but they - even with vampiric hearing - couldn't hear them. Before anyone could stop them Kai and Kol darted into the clearing ignoring Marcel's harsh whispers to wait -not that he could blame them he wanted to flay the man alive himself, but he also wanted them all to leave there alive - startling the man and woman.
"Why do I put up with dramatic bastards?!" Marcel sighed, annoyed. "Fine. Let them have it!" A smirk on his lips as he darted into the street the other vampires with him all with bloodthirsty grins upon their faces.
"Why hello father!" Kai grinned bloodthirsty.

"No! No, we trapped you." The man exclaimed fearfully.
"You see, here's the thing," Kai grinned. "Evie freed me. You and all the others hated she was exactly like mother, kinder than you all and way, way more powerful that you practically drove her to break that prison. Not that she wasn't going to break it but it caused her to break it faster than she would have done if she didn't want the only person to love back in her life, well, until her soon-to-be husband Kol Mikaelson came along." Kai smirked, pointing to Kol who was leaning casually against the car twirling a baseball bat, his smirk widened at hearing his so-called father's heartbeat faster in fear despite the scowl of anger on his face he was in fact; afraid. No, he was downright terrified, and so he should be.

Not deeming to give the man the decency of calling him by his name for he was nothing but the scum of the earth in their eyes, Kol stalked forwards predatorily a bloodthirsty grin on his face as the scumbag backed away slowly looking for his vampire only to pale drastically when he saw her dead on the ground: heart ripped out and torn to pieces. Giving a mocking wave as the other vampires cut off all means of escape, Marcel dropped a lit lighter on the corpse of the woman.
"You know," Kol said casually drawing the scums attention back to him (he'd need several long showers after this to get rid of the feeling of his gaze on him), "I've known some crappy father's, even abusive ones in my thousand years alive, including my own but you, you really take the cake."

His casual tone disappeared and a dark tone appeared with a matching glare upon his face as his eyes burned the same burgundy as Kai's causing the scumbag to almost pee himself in terror.
"You really shouldn't have treated my mate the way you have, but don't worry you'll know her pain soon enough. No one threatens my family and lives. NO ONE!!!" Kol roared. "And it's your bad luck that you've hurt not only my Evie but her big brother Kai who she adores with all her heart, and his mischief and bloodthirsty nature matches my own!"
Panicking the man raised his hands intending to give Kai and Kol Magical Aneurysms (he begrudgingly admitted to himself that he wasn't powerful enough, like his youngest, to take on all of these vampires so his freak of a son and the Original would have to do) but to his horror it didn't work.

"Here's the things father dearest." Kai sneered. "I may be a Heretic, you know both witch AND vampire but here's the thing. Kol here is the ORIGINAL HERETIC!" He emphasised on the last two words to drive the words into his thick skull. "So that means -?" He trailed off hoping he would get it.
"You're freaks, both of you! But SHE is the biggest freak there is!" The scumbag shouted.
"Wrong answer!" Kol growled, swinging the bat with force at the man's legs; the loud snaps as his shins shattered were almost drowned out by the extremely loud screams that echoed amongst the trees. Not satisfied just yet and not impressed with what he said about Evie,
Kai snapped one arm with one sharp kick and broke his ankles with a twirl of his wrist while Marcel came up to them and stepped on the crumpled man's arm snapping the other with one loud snap and pop.

"Please! Please! Please no more!" The scumbag sobbed, tears and snot running down his face. Again that was the wrong answer as the trio took turns punching him in the face, back and chest - not full strength at first but slowly increasing the strength to draw out his pain and suffering.
"Did you listen to mine and Evie's pleas!" Kai roared. "No! No is the answer you were looking for, father dearest!" He growled, punching him in the nose which snapped under the force of the punch.
"Besides," Marcel added conversationally, causing the man to look at him in hope. "After what you've threatened to do to the girl I see as a sister we're just getting started. You best hope we don't decide to keep you on the edge of death just to prolong your suffering!" He smirked, showing off his fangs.

Within the next moment, the three dived upon the man. His tortured screams were all that could he heard for miles around as they spent the night torturing him only for Kai or Kol just to heal him enough so death escaped him so another member of the coven could reap punishment upon him. They had all come to care deeply for the bubbly woman and no one liked seeing the fear in her crystal blue orbs. Once they were satisfied that they had broken his mind, body and soul, Kai finally killed him before they sent his body back to his siblings and the Gemini coven with a clear message that if they tried to harm Evie this would be their future. As the sun was beginning to rise they headed back to the bar they'd hired for the night drinking to their success for an hour or two, sharing laughs over the scum's cries and pleads before they headed home to shower; they had a wedding to get to after all.
