DINNER WITH THE ENEMY

Rhaenyra was working when a woman walked in. "Rhaneyra?" the girl asked. She turned to face the person who had called her name. "Yes?" she replied with a smile. "I have a message for you" the girl started. "From Esther" the made Rhaenyra go from calm to alarmed. "Dinner, at the old plantation" before she could ask anything else the girl stabbed herself on the neck. Rhaenyra tried to save her, the costumers got freaked out and called 911. She called her children. 'What in the seven hells just happened?' she asked herself. Not five minutes later her children arrived. They were worried for their mother but she assure them she was fine. But she told them about the dinner invitation Esther had sent her. "What does she want?" Kol asked. "I don't know. But I'll find out when I see her tonight" she replied. "Are you mad?! She wants you dead most likely" Dean gave his opinion but they all agreed. "Well, what else am I supposed to do?" she asked. "Be normal and not go? Cancel like everyone else. Better yet, just don't show up at all" Dean replied.

Rhaenyra had to close early for the day. The cops were "investigating" but found nothing. Witness saw it all. The girl just said a few words to the owner of the restaurant then stabbed her self. The police ruled the girls death as a suicide. Rhaenyra spend the entire day trying to figure out what Esther truly wanted. Silas leaned by the door watching his lover get ready. "You know if you stared a little longer and deeply into the mirror you might even get to open into a new dimension" he joked.

She rolled her eyes but smiled. "It's just... what does she want? And how the hell did she come back to life?" she asked. "I mean, I sent her to purgatory. Was that not enough?" she asked again. Silas sat down next to her and grabbed her hands. "It's gonna be fine. We're gonna be there" he stated. "We?" she asked. As she looked at the door she saw Elijah, Finn and Klaus all dressed up and ready to go. As she turned to Silas she noticed he was also wearing a suit.

"You guys need to stay here" she told them and they all shaked their heads no. "No. Not happening" Klaus replied to his mother. Sometimes she forgot how stubborn her children could be. "Well, who's gonna stay with the babies?" she asked. Kol, Sam, Henrik, Dean and Hayley who were carrying Jace and Vis stood by the door with smiles on their faces. "We're the babysitters tonight" Hayley replied. "You guys are the worst" she muttered as she turned back to finish getting ready. The siblings and Silas simply laughed. She wore a white dress.

"So? How do I look?" she asked her lover. "Beautiful as always" he replied before pecking her lips. "Okay, lovebirds. Time to go" Dean shouted from the kitchen. Silas and Rhaenyra made their way out. The three Mikaelson brothers, Silas and Rhaenyra said goodbye and made their way to the Mikaelson's old plantation. It was clean take it they hadn't lived their in months. Esther was already waiting, along with other witches. Rhaenyra gave them an amused look as they all sat down. "Esther, dear is so good to see you" Rhaenyra said with a smirk. "How was purgatory?" she asked.

Esther didn't really like the question. "I just wanted to chat" the original witch replied. "About?" the queen asked. "My children" Esther replied and Rhaenyra scoffed. "My children you mean? The ones you took from me? The ones you made suffer? The ones who's lives you ruined?" with every question she became angrier. Esther was amused. She was getting under her skin. "You know Freya... sweet innocent Freya" Esther said, tauntingly. "What happened to my daughter, Esther?" she asked. "She made a great sacrifice for our family" Rhaenyra could feel it. The anger, the hurt, the need of vengeance. She could feel herself changing.

"Where is she?" she asked once again through gritted teeth. "Dahlia took her" she replied as she saw the change on Rhaenyra face.

"Took her where? And why?" she asked once again. "She was the payment for her help. When I decided to take your children I knew you were powerful I just didn't know how much. So, I asked my sister for help. But as always, it came a price" the original witch replied. "My daughter" Rhaenyra added. Esther nodded. "Why? Why would you do that to me? I trusted you! I thought we were friends?!" she yelled. "And we were. But, with time I became angry and jealous of you" Esther explained.

"Why?" Klaus was the ones to ask the question this time. "She had it all. She had been married twice and in each marriage she was blessed with children. Even when she lost both of her husbands she was still strong and independent. Then, Mikael became infatuated with her. He followed her everywhere. One day he came home and told me he had offered to take her in. To give her a home, food and anything she needed or wanted as long she gave him what I couldn't. Children" Esther told her side.

"But, she always refused. Telling him she was fine on her own. I knew she was fine, after all she was my friend. But, Mikael always spoke of you as if you put the stars in the sky" Esther said but the rage and hatred could be seen in her eyes. "So all of this was over the jealousy you had for her?" Finn asked. "Yes!" Esther finally snapped. "You'll never find Freya. Never!" Esther taunted her. She saw witches walked in and moving towards her. She stood up and opened her wings, hitting the witches with her powers and knocking them out.

"I'll find her. And when I do, I'll get Dahlia and make her suffer. Just like I'll make you and your coven of bitches suffer. And best believe dear Esther, you'll wish you would've stayed dead after I'm done with you" with that, the queen grabbed her children and lover and disappeared. The war had just begun.
