Ansel Mikaelon - Volume 1 Chapter 16 What's Wrong With Horses?

“You can’t just keep making Hybrids! Even one was dangerous but now a whole pack!!” Elijah exclaims.

Ansel was more confused than surprised by his brother’s statement.

“But Brother, if… if we want to have an accurate conclusion on this… your diabolical scheme then we must have men behind us to back us in whatever we abide and we should not be tending about however dominant it can be and you have already said that Niklaus won’t stop until he gets what he wants and Elijah, do not forget that this is about avenging our family that Niklaus ravaged” Ansel said emotionally remembering everything his family used to be.

“But brother, I had a deal with Elena Gilbert and… and I know you hated Tatia but the girl you despised is no longer among us and Elena is just… some replication of her and it’s her life and you do not have any right to judge her or arbitrate her life and the choices that she makes” Elijah clarifies it to his brother.

Ansel now could see from Elijah’s perspective and he was right, Elena isn’t Tatia and even if they are similar, that doesn’t give him any right to infuriate matters.

“You are right, brother… I should not be reckless” Ansel admits his fault.

Elijah knew that Ansel is still dealing with the trauma of everything he has faced in the last few days and he knew how he should handle him from now on.

“One more thing, You are now in the new world and you need to learn about things and for that, I’ll assign you a tutor who’ll teach you everything you need to learn to adjust” Elijah said.

“Teach me what exactly?” Ansel asks.

“Well, from languages to driving a car” Elijah answers simply.

“But what’s wrong with horses?” Ansel argues.

“No one takes up to them anymore” Elijah says.

______________

A week passes, Ansel’s classes help him in learning pretty much everything he was interested in while Klaus spends his week tracking the person he needed to fail Elijah’s plan.

He finally ends up at the old classic early nineteenth-century mansion which was guarded by few vampires in black suits.

They both see Klaus coming with his witch beside him and quickly gets alert.

“Easy boys, I’m not here for violence… I just wanted to meet Marie Van Halen… Co-founder of Strix along with my brother Elijah… your leader” Klaus says keeping his devilish smile.

Both vampires again looked at each other said in unison “She doesn’t meet half-breeds”

Klaus raised his eyebrows and the grin disappears from his face “I’m sought to change that” He says and his witch raises his hand giving both the vampires headaches and they both fell down giving Klaus space to open the door and enter.

The moment he enters, everyone’s eyes get stuck on him as he casually walks in without hesitation while his witch follows behind him.

“See, I don’t think we all need to go down the lane which will lead to all your certain death” Klaus announced.

“We will see that” a black woman speaks from the stairs and all near vampires jump on him but Klaus easily puts them down.

” I think that was enough” A voice comes from Klaus’s behind.

Klaus turns back to see his witch’s throat in a blonde woman’s hand.

“Marie… So good to see you”
