On April 14, two 5x GRAMMY-winning artists come together on a healing new song with a message of hope for the lost and broken. Powerhouse vocalist Naomi Raine’s new single “Paul And Silas (At Midnight),” featuring Chandler Moore (Justin Bieber, Maverick City Music), is out now. It is the latest from Raine’s forthcoming debut live album ‘Cover The Earth,’ set to release June 2 via TRIBL Records.

Showcasing the breathtaking vocals and versatility from Raine and Moore, “Paul And Silas (At Midnight)” is a reminder that joy can be found even in the darkest moments of life. The track blends convicting, traditional gospel sounds with contemporary and world music. It is an extension of the transcending style the two are known for as part of Maverick City Music.

Kirk Franklin says the vocalists are “the next generation of gospel music,” and it’s easy to see and hear that they are the face of the next wave of inspiration. Raine and Moore performed at the GRAMMY Awards alongside Quavo as part of the tribute to the late Migos member Takeoff.

“Paul And Silas (At Midnight)” follows Raine’s ethereal “One Name (Jesus)” – both of which are on her new 14-track album that features collaborations with 9x GRAMMY-nominee Natalie Grant, Todd Dulaney and Lizzie Morgan (Maverick City Music) — all recorded in Raine’s hometown of New York City.

The worship leader, mom and dynamic vocalist has won GRAMMY, NAACP, Stellar, BET, Billboard and Dove Awards. She has performed on the BET Awards, GRAMMY Awards and more. Recently named a Pandora 2023 Artist To Watch, she is poised for her breakout year.

Later this month, she will launch her co-headlining trek on the first-of-its-kind, female-led It’s Time Tour 2023 with Tasha Cobbs Leonard, Natalie Grant, TAYA, Tamela Mann and Katie Torwalt. The tour will stop in Atlanta, New York, Nashville and more before wrapping up in Los Angeles in June.

71 - Mikaelson's Don't Go Down Easy

Part 72

Her Life Means Everything

We are getting closer to the end of this book. So if there is something you want to see before I complete this let me know

@mrs-fanfiction-2001 @the-big-bad-klaus @dragonixfrye @samsgirl93 @elijahmikaelsonbitch

Shutting the desk drawer I heard footsteps coming up behind me and I was over the moon at who I was standing there. “Damon. Oh my god!” Jumping up into his arms he stumbled backwards wrapping his arms around my waist.

“I’ve missed you, little Forbes.” He mumbled into my loose hair before he sat me down on my feet. He dropped his arms at his sides smiling. “Elena wishes she could be here but she had to drop our daughter off at school.”

Pushing hair behind my ear I shrugged my shoulders at him. “The life of a parent ain’t easy. Just be happy that you are a few years away from raising teenagers cause it is not an easy job.”

“You seem to be doing pretty good. I still can’t believe this place is gonna become a school.” He glanced around the room seeing that my sister had already had some logos made up. The sign was up out front and she was hiring people to be teachers too.

Shaking my head I chuckled at his words. “Well you know my sister. When she sets her mind to something she won’t stop until she gets through it…I hope that wherever Stefan is watching from up there. That he is happy with what we are doing.”

“Yeah me too, Maddie.” He paused where we each noticed the wedding ring on our hands. He had married Elena a few years after Stefan’s funeral. It was just a small wedding underneath the clock tower with their friends and family. “I finally understand why you enjoyed being human. It makes every day need to mean something.”

Intertwining my hands with his where he locked gazes with me. “It’s funny when I was human I didn’t think I was good enough. It wasn’t until I became a vampire that I realized I was always supposed to be supernatural….Damon, I know this will surprise you but I need to thank you for turning me.”

“I never thought you would thank me for making you a vampire, Mads.” He chuckled, taken back by what I had said before I wrapped my arms around him in a hug smiling.

Klaus and I were doing our best to make the drive back to the location that Lizzie had told me about. He had healed me from my werewolf bite that he had given me. Tapping my fingers on my knees I couldn’t stop my mind from playing out the worst possible outcomes if we didn’t get our daughters to turn back to their humanity selves. “What are we going to do with them, Nik…I mean look at them in this picture. Landon and little Henry are everything to them.”

“You brought me back, Mads. If anyone has taught me anything since you and I have come together. There is nothing we can’t do when we are a team.” He glanced in my direction looking at the picture I had up on my phone. It was a family photo I had taken of Hope and Nikola wrapped in the arms of Landon and our grandson sitting in the middle.

The phone rang where I put it up to my ear hearing my twin sisters voice coming through. “Maddie, I just sent you their location. Josie was able to find a vial of Hope’s blood in medical. Do everything you can to bring them home and be safe sis.”

“Thanks, Care. We will hopefully have them home soon.” I hung the phone up where Klaus hit the gas making the trip much faster since we could just compel the cops if they tried to give us a ticket. The girls were in an old museum with some caskets that looked like we used to put the Egyptian gods to rest centuries ago.

Pushing hair away from my ear I used the vamp hearing trying to locate at least one of my daughters but it didn’t take long because when we walked in Hope ran straight for us. “Mom. Dad, Lizzie has Nikola trapped in another room and she has a stake that can kill us.”

“Hope, sweetheart. Are you back…Aunt Care said that your sister had taken little Henry too.” I questioned wrapping my arms around her in a warm hug. She wrapped her arms around me leaning into my embrace, remaining there for a few moments.

She broke the hug where I could see that she had some tears falling down her face meaning she was back to her old self. “Yeah I turned right after I found out she had brought him along with us. I guess the auntie instinct isn’t strong enough to keep my humanity off.” She turned her head to the side seeing that Henry was sleeping on the floor wrapped in a blanket.

“A Mikaelson prince shouldn’t be sleeping on the floor.” Klaus picked him up in his arms looking at us.

Whipping my head forward I heard a voice coming down a hallway where I vamped being able to see Lizzie and Nikola standing inside the room. “So now's your chance. Let's see if you have it in you.” Nikola broke a piece of wood tossing it towards the blonde.

“I came here wanting to make you hurt, like you hurt all of us, but seeing you in front of me, I......I hate this. I hate how many good memoriesI have of you. I hate that I have to be the one to do this, because no one else will.” Lizzie declares raising her hand where I saw that she was holding a red stake in her hand making me start to panic.

Whipping my head around to my daughter I attempted to yank away the deprie that was keeping us from them but it was too big. “Hope, you’re stronger than me. Break it open!”

“Got it.” She placed her hands out in front of her mumbling a spell I couldn’t understand before it blasted open right before our eyes.

“But most of all......I hate you for being my friend and for being a part of my weird, messed-up family and for making me love you, Nikola Mikaelson. Because no matter how far you go, no matter how evil you become...apparently I can't be the one to stop you.” Lizzie didn’t turn around to face us, too focused on the person she wanted to kill right in front of her. I could hear her heartbeat speeding up but she lowered her hand dropping it on the floor.

Henry started crying which caused Nikola to gasp and I released the weight off my shoulders seeing that my other daughter actually cried again. “Henry…mommy is okay.”

“I can’t believe you two got here just to save them..” Lizzie spat at me where I sent her a glare.

“We can talk about your punishment later, Elizabeth. For now would someone explain to us what on earth makes you think it was okay to try and kill my daughter!” I snarked revealing my fangs to her.

Nikola stepped up taking her son from her father’s hand, eyeing him. She sniffed through some tears remembering everything she had done including making her own parents fight each other. “I am sorry about what I did..,I never meant to hurt you and dad. I just…I couldn’t handle the loss of Landon.”

“You don’t have to apologize, little Tribrid. I understand the pain. On two occasions your mother had to nearly die for me to turn my switch back on.” Klaus responded to her draping his arm over my shoulder. I lay my head on his shoulder intertwining my hand with his.

Hope stepped up offering her hand to the newly turned heretic. “We should get Aurora out of my sister's body before she regains control over her body.”

“Aurora de Martell. What he bloody hell is she doing in her body!” My husband asked, growing under his breath.

Clutching my freehand into a fist at my side I glared towards my eldest daughter like I was seeing Aurora’s eyes. That vampire nearly tried to tear Klaus and I apart during the years when the girls were younger. I didn’t trust what she said and let my jealousy get the better of me until now. “That red head vampire is still alive. I thought we took care of her years ago!”

“Easy you guys. We will take care of her…and it was a long story that we can talk about later.” Hope raised her freehand.

Lizzie shrugs her shoulders, finally meeting Nikloa’s gaze when she told her. “You know, I have to be honest. When Josie told me that you weren't too far gone, I didn't believe her.”

“Me neither….I am sorry for what I did to your father.” She apologized before the pair raised their hands performing the spell where we watched the red headed vampire body drop onto the floor leaving Nikola standing there holding her son before she dropped to the floor for a few minutes.

“How will we know that it worked?” I questioned the pair waiting for her to wake up.

Hope responded back seeing her sister sit up straight locking eyes with the girls. “I guess she’ll say something only the real her would know.”

“It worked. Panda promise.” She declares before the other two helped her stand and hug her knowing that she was her true self now. Sighing in relief Klaus kissed my forehead smiling that we had our daughters back.

Aurora shot us from the ground rising to her feet seeing all of us watching her, mostly speaking at Nikola and Hope. “You can't trust her. Once a Mikaelson, always a Mikaelson….hello Nik, have you missed me?”

“Aurora!” He breathes out flashing his werewolf eyes.

She stomped up twirling some of her hair when she finally noticed that I was standing at his side. “I assume that this former human isn’t making you happy or if she is maybe I will have to possess her body instead to get my revenge on you.”

Vamping as close as I could to her I grabbed her neck in my hands quickly snapping her neck dropping her body on the ground once more. “Nobody messes with the Mikaelson’s and gets away with it!” Turning to my family Klaus just smirked proudly at me where I could tell he was so turned on at what I had just done. “Now let’s go home, all of us.”
