49 - The Price of Landon Kirby

Part 50

Family is More than Blood

@secretdreamlandmentality

Alina’s pov

Shutting the fridge in the kitchen I grabbed a bottle of milk that was for Xavier. I jumped, nearly dropping the bottle on the floor, seeing Lizzie standing on the other side of the door. “Lizzie. You scared the living crap out of me.”

“Calm down, Alina. I just wanted to hang out with you since you’ve been busy with your baby boy.” She leaned against the countertop wearing a white long sleeve shirt and the Salvatore logo pin stuck on the front of it.

I sighed feeling guilty that she spoke the truth. “I’m sorry about that. But I thought you were busy helping my sister find Landon.”

“I was…until she basically declared that she didn’t care if we were going on a dangerous mission. All she cares about is getting her boyfriend back.”

I trailed off turning around so I was facing her. “She loves him. I understand why she wants him back.”

“But she refuses to see anyone else and refuses to care about their safety.” Lizzie flipped her ponytail over her shoulder.

I started walking and exited the kitchen hoping she would just follow me and she did so we could continue talking on foot. We made our way up the stairs to my bedroom seeing Xavier laying awake in his crib. “Lizzie, I just think you’ll understand when you find your person. And you should know by now that us Mikaelson’s are notorious for doing everything to protect the ones we love.”

“Believe I have figured that out over the years. On a different note, what do you think this little guy is going to be supernatural wise?” Lizzie slumped her shoulders tickling Xavier on his feet and his laughter filled the room.

Moving Xavier to lay his head on my chest he made a cooing noise. “Considering Jackson and I are both wolves, he’ll definitely take after that. If he’ll be a hybrid or werewitch I’m not sure yet.”

“In my opinion I think team werewitch should dominate the team heretic - huh why is your dad calling me?” Lizzie smirked back at me feeling her phone vibrating in her pocket.

Shrugging my shoulders I responded. “I don’t know. Answer him.”

“Hey Uncle Klaus, what are you calling me for?” She asked, putting the phone to her ear. I couldn’t hear what he was saying but she hung up the phone seconds later. “You told them about Hope’s suicidal mission?”

“I just told them since it might affect the school.” I answered her question.

She made a face at me, deciding to leave the room without another word. “Okay well I’ll find you later. I have to go spy on my sister's new love interest.” She shut the door behind herself and I threw my head back praying she wouldn’t find out I was lying.

“Did she suspect anything, Lina?” Hope’s voice came into my bedroom when she appeared to be me in astral projection form.

I rolled my eyes at her. “I don’t like lying to her.”

“Like you said she’ll understand when she has someone she loves like us. Now can you get the Ascendant from the office or not?” My older sister asked me.

Bouncing my baby boy in my arms I paused before answering her. “Yeah I’ll get it. But next time I am not lying to Lizzie ever again.” I laid Xavier back down in his crib heading to the office knowing we had a few more hours before the celestial event would be here which was her one chance to bring Landon back home.

Josie’s voice could be heard with me moving through the forest. “Bennett blood?”

My sister Hope answered. “Check.”

“And then, do you have the ascendant?” Josie said.

“Uh, back at the school.” She trailed off.

“Then why are we here?” Josie sounded confused.

“Well, your dad had it spelled. But for a fully operational siphon witch who can break down its barrier, that shouldn't be a problem.” My sister explained right before I came running through the woods with a bag on my shoulder carrying the Ascendant.

“I’m here, Hope.” Reaching inside the bag I dropped it at my feet holding the Ascendant in my hands. “I’ll help you and then I have to get back to Jackson and Xavier.”

“That shouldn’t be a problem, Lina.” Hope said, giving me a nod. I closed my eyes focusing my magic with the object turning red briefly and then returned to its normal color.

Hope held up the coin Josie had put her magic in that suddenly flew out of her hand and we all turned our heads to see my mother and Lizzie standing a few feet away. “Well, it sure as hell is for this one, sister. I told you to leave her out of this.”

“So let me see if I have this right. You are so desperately in love with Landon that you are willing to put us all in extreme danger. Have you lost your ever freaking mind, Hope Andrea Mikaelson!” My mother stomped forward getting in my sister’s face, her fangs sticking out of her mouth. I gulped knowing we were definitely in trouble now.

Raelyn’s pov

“Mom please understand why I am doing this. You would do the same if it was dad.” Hope raised her voice at me.

Vamping in my daughter’s face I growled, raising my freehand attempting to freeze them. “I wouldn’t risk everyone’s lives unless they chose to help me out. But going behind everyone else’s backs to get him back no matter the consequences is the problem here - Immobilus.”

Alina stomped forward shoving me backwards towards my nieces. “You can’t stop us even if you wanted to. Just stay out of the way otherwise you’ll get hurt.” Stepping backwards from her I clutched my hands into fists at my sides, not liking that I felt powerless.

I was standing in the middle of a confrontation between these family members. Klaus was picking up Charming and Rapunzel from the Gilbert house so he wouldn’t notice I was missing for a few hours. “Well, I think we're all clear as to why we're here, so why don't we just skip the verbal sparring and get to the actual fight?”

“I'm not gonna ask again, Lizzie. Give her the coin.” Hope snapped at her.

“Invisique.” Lizzie takes my hand in hers and siphons some magic from me. She throws the now invisible coin across the ground.

Hope gasped. “How could you?”

“Relax. We'll find it later, after we get your boyfriend back.” Lizzie stepped towards my eldest daughter.

Josie sent her sister a weak look. “Lizzie, no. You don't have to do this for me.”

“Yes, I do. Because you're my blind spot, Jo.” She spoke back.

The Saltzman blonde glared at Hope. “You want to do this spell so bad? Let's do the damn spell.”

Standing off to the sidelines with Josie I just silently watched them. Alina finished drawing the protection circle while Lizzie got the Ascendant ready for the spell. “Now step outside the circle.” Hope instructed Alina who stepped backwards over the circle with us.

Lizzie warned her. “And don't come back in. No matter what happens.”

“Sangiema Meam Et Nos Mundo Carcerema. Sangiema Meam Et Nos Mundo…” Hope and Lizzie each held onto the Ascendant and began chanting the words to the spell.

The sky began changing colors and the stars shifted around to be in line with the magical object. “It's working.” Josie muttered out.

“...Carcerema. Sangiema Meam Et Nos Mundo Carcerema.”

Lizzie winced, eyeing the object when it began turning red and I could hear her heartbeat beginning to race. “I don't remember this being so painful.”

“Dark magic. The Necromancer was full of it when we trapped him, so the prison world must be radioactive with it. And now it's infecting you.” Josie gasped before I caught a glimpse of black veins crawling up their wrists and their faces. I gasped in horror when a memory flashed through my mind.

“You have to promise not to say anything to the guy and girl outside this door that came with me, this started happening after I did the spell to find you.”

Rolling up the sleeves of my shirt on my right arm I held my forearm out to her seeing her eyes go wide in shock and horror at what she saw. The black veins that had first appeared the spell to consume Esther spell had returned and we’re making their way up my arm. “Holy crap, cuz. We are in serious trouble. If…if that gets worse then you might.”

“Die, I know Jo.” I sniffed through some tears knowing Klaus would hate me if I told him I might die so I needed to fix this before he ever found out about it. “You’re the only family member I trust so I am begging for your help with this.”

Lizzie began panicking. “What do we do?”

Josie raised her voice in a panic. “Sever the connection. Let go.”

“ I can't! ” Lizzie tried to pull away.

Covering my ears with my hands I attempted to block out the increasing sounds of their heartbeats banging against my ear. “This can’t be happening. This isn’t happening right now….where is it, where is it!” Running my hands frantically around the waistband of my jeans I located Josette’s hunting knife I still had on me, death gripping it in my hands.

Hope wasn’t backing down even when the black veins began growing. “Hold on. We can do this. We just have to push through.”

“No, Hope, you could die! Let go!” Josie begged her friend again.

“No!” Hope declares with a stern tone. “I'm not abandoning him again.”

Josie moved past me and shoved her hand down on her sister’s arm, trying to help her with the magic. “ Josie! “ Lizzie cried out in terror.

Hope apologized seeing the two twins struggling. “I'm so sorry.”

“Alina!” I cried out when she ran forward throwing her hands on Hope’s shoulder siphoning from her. The dark magic began traveling between the four girls and there wasn’t a part of their skin that wasn’t covered by it.

I vamped forward to the edge of the protection barrier seeing a figure appear before my eyes again. “Difficult to watch isn’t it?”

“What the hell do you want!” I growled through heavy tears seeing the darker version of myself coming out of my head.

Dark Raelyn smirked evilly, tapping the tip of the hunting knife in my hands. “You know why I’m here, Rae Rae. The only way to save their lives is embracing who you are.”

“No. I…I won’t.” I shook my head no yet she just tilted her head silently telling me I was wrong. My fingers clung onto the blade handle with the teen girls fear consuming my every emotion. Closing my eyes I blurted out the ancient words as fast as possible off my tongue. “Fructose Ispiritus…Fructose Ispiritus!”

Gasping sharply the hunting knife fell into the glass and my hands turned red siphoning all the magic that had been contained inside of it for so long. “Ahhh!….Magia tollux de terras….Magia tollux de terras!” Grasping Alina and Josie’s shoulders wincing I held onto as best I could seeing the black veins disappear from their bodies and transfer onto mine. The Ascendent dropped from their hands when someone grunted and knocked it away from our group of witches.

All of us got thrown backwards to the dirt and the Ascendant dropped into the dust. I groaned holding my head laying beside Hope seeing someone walking to us when the fog cleared and she sounded relieved. “ Landon? “

He replied with a smile. “Long time, no see.”

“Am I dead or is this... another dream?” Hope rose to her feet slowly walking towards her boyfriend in disbelief.

Lizzie slowly rose to her feet helping her sister up at the same time. “No, I'm pretty sure Landon made it back here somehow.”

“Because we totally see him, too.” Josie whispered back.

Alina whipped her head around in my direction seeing me swaying from side to side on my feet. “Mom, are you okay?”

“I….I…my magic is -“ My eyes rolled back in my head and I fell backwards passing out onto the harsh ground.

Alina rushed over to her mothers body with the other girls all concerned for her safety. “Is she going to wake back up like normal?”

“I don’t think so, look. They aren’t going away like they should. We need to find dad immediately.” Hope declares beginning to panic about what danger she had just put her mother through…and would she ever wake up.

Drinking games

Summery:

When joel drags lizzie to the local club. She's never surprised she leaves alone, and normally she leaves early. The environment normally too active for her. Too overwhelming. To her surprise, she doesn't leave alone, and this time she leaves with someone just as overwhelmed.

Tw warning!! Drinking, not a lot, but still there!! Overestimating in the sensory not hot way

Not proof read or edited!!

(This is a fic for @mcyt-yuri-week, day 6!!)

Lizzie never liked the roaring music, and flashing lights. It never mattered to her really. She would rather be anywhere else other then a club. The hot, sweaty, mostly naked bodies, rubbing and dancing together. Flashy fabric colorful accessories. So much, in every corner. Lizzie looks to her husband, watching as he jokes, flirting with sausage. She can't help but chuckle, despite how overwhelming it is here.

Her nails tap on the side of wine glass. Half of a light 5 dollar cocktail sloshing around. Its good!! Tastes amazing!! don't get her wrong!! Just...she really isn't in the mood. Her tail flicks slightly as she sit at a table not too far from the bar. Taking a small sip for her drink.

Shelby with her well know witches hat, a black cocktail dress you see on every women in a normal bar, that always looks good. And large black platform boots. Lizzie has to admit, she not too opposed to the outfit. A purple belt around Shelbys waist, and a small black purpse keeps lizzies eyes trained on her.

She's holding a tumblr glass, of what seems to be some random booze. Lizzie smiles at her as the witch sits down at the table, melting into the seat with a groan. lizzie chuckles at her.

"You seem to be having fun..?"

Lizzie giggles, Shelby sets her glass on the table, sweaty hands pulling at her eyes, as she groans. Huffing for air. Somehow the star glitter on her cheeks and her purple makeup stay unbothered.

"Well- it's, well, it's not like I'm having a bad time..!!"

Her hat is almost falling off her head.

"..."

"Ok, maybe I am!!"

She huffs, the slightly tipsy grin crossing her arms and leaning back in the seat. Lizzie leaning forward, over the table, adjusting her hat slightly, Shelby already flushed face staring at lizzie with wide eyes, a smile on her face. Normal deminors out the window

"Well, aren't you a gentleman?" She teases. Lizzie huffing a small laugh as she sits back down hands coming to adjust her way too bright blazer.

She wears a women's blazer and dress pants, both a bright sparkling pink. The blazer is almost completely undone, showing a white lacey bra as an under shirt. An outfit that Shelby didn't even remotely see as sexual, just that the feline looks rather good in it.

"Well, I'm sorry it was bothering me!!" She snickers, the calico ears flicking, her tail swaying softly.

"This music is hurting my head" lizzie groans out, Shelby nods in agreement as she stays leaned over the table, both their glasses now empty. Lizzie isn't sure where joel went, but frankly, she doesn't care.

"Wanna go somewhere quiet..?" Shebly mumbles, out stretching her hand. Face still flushed. With the dopey grin. Lizzie sets her hand in Shelbys.

To be honest, she doesn't remember much half that. Only a bottle of wine, a warm blanket, and the soft voice of a movie

“Rooster, don’t joke with me.”

“I am not joking with you.”

Maverick places a hand over his heart, then starts to walk around his nephew, stopping to support his weight on his knees, “Oh dear God, okay,” he breathes in and out rapidly, “Okay, you–” Maverick ends up laughing and running to his godson, wrapping his arms around Bradley’s middle and, surprising, lifting him up just for a little bit with how happy he was.

Rooster makes a sound of surprise, immediately trying to go back down - being this tall and strong makes it very hard for someone to pick him up and yet Pete did it without issues, amazingly considering he was the size of a toddler- “Woah!Mav!” his uncle puts him down, then playfully punches his shoulders repeatedly. He knew he’d be excited, the way Pete would subtly drop hints about how he wanted the two to finally tie the knot was reason enough to believe.

Pete calms down, but his smile remains. They are both at a quiet corner of the base they were all staying at, somewhere where Rooster knew they’d won't be bothered too much, the last thing he needed was Nat freaking out or Jake giving him a knowing smirk, or any of the Dagger squad really. This was a secret mission within a mission and no one besides him and his uncle should know, “Rooster I–” Maverick just shakes his head with a huge grin, propping his hands on his hips, “When did you decide it?”

“A few months ago.” he says, crossing his arm and moving his weight to the opposite leg with a cock of his hip, “I know it sounds crazy but I can’t see myself without Bea. I love her Mav.” and Pete knew it, he knew it way too well, “I never ever thought about marriage before, i honestly didn’t think I’d want to get married.”

It was more of he didn’t want to because of fear and anger and all those messy feelings he couldn’t elaborate too much. But now he was sure about it, he was sure, he was certain and he wanted Mav’s help to do it in some way. “What are you planning, then?” his godfather asked, mirroring the younger pilot’s crossed arms position. Rooster’s jaw moved back and forth, looking back over his shoulder to see if there was any of the Dagger squad getting close.

“I’m still working on it.” he replies once he’s sure the coast is clear, “But I’d need your help.” Pete’s smile gets even wider, chuckling like a proud father, “And I know how much you’ve been bugging me about it.”

“But I was right in the end.”

Well…he was.

“Yes, yes you were. I’m just writing some stuff down on my phone and I’ll show you later, I really want this thing to work.” Bradley sighs, running a hand through his sandy brown strands, “She deserves something good, you saw how happy she was at her birthday.”

“Before or after she punched her ex?”

Bradley couldn’t help the soft laugh that breaks through, scratching his temple as he remembered that scene, watching Eric fall to the ground like a sack of spuds with his nose bleeding was the most entertaining thing he had seen in a long long while. It helped that it was Beatrice who made that possible. He knew she was capable of, she’s capable of so many things and she’s so unaware of them sometimes.

But he knew it was a process he’d like to be part of. She grew so much ever since they started dating, he knew even if they weren’t she’d still be able to do it. Beatrice is capable, she’s good, she’s just incredible.

And he wanted to ask her to be his wife.

He knew he still had time until he got back - four months now and counting - but that was enough for him to organize everything. It was going to be special, she deserves it nothing less, “What do you need my help with then?”

“Not only your help, Penny’s too. But let me organize everything like I said,I need to make sure there’ll be nothing in the way.” he says, his lips quirking with a fondness while he rubs his ring finger, “I already have a ring in mind.”

“You do?”

“Bea doesn’t like flashy stuff and I saw her nonna’s old wedding ring and…I’m kind of basing it off of that.”

Pete looked like he was ready to cry, biting his lip and nodding while sniffling and looking to the side, in a way he thought Rooster wouldn’t see him quickly wiping his eyes. Maverick remained looking away, placing his hands back on his hips as the wind moved between the two, he then nodded once, inhaling deeply and turning his eyes back to Rooster, “Alright.You know you can count on me.”

Bradley smiles back, “I know,Mav.” he says, hugging his uncle tight. Pete clapped his back, clenching his flight suit and not being able to hold back another sniffle, “I wouldn’t want anyone else to help me with this.”

I wouldn’t want anyone to help me with this, Pete. I’m serious about Carole.

Pete sighed softly, the memories intertwining and repeating itself again. Pete was…more than happy, happy wouldn’t be enough to say how he was feeling right now, he was completely elated to be there, to be part of Bradley’s life again and so quickly too. Months before he couldn’t see this happening, he couldn’t even make Brad look at him without anger.

And now his nephew was asking him to help propose to his girlfriend. “Well,I’m glad to be in for the ride.” the older pilot smiles, pulling back and tapping his godson’s cheek like a proud father, “Just let me know when you need me.”

“Of course Mav,and please don’t tell anyone else yet?”

“I won’t.I promise. Are you going to talk to Beatrice later tonight?”

The mention of his girlfriend makes Bradley’s eyes shine and his smile widen, “I am, finally we’ll be able to video chat.” After a long time of messaging back and forth he’d finally see her face. It has been very hectic lately and while he gets it, it doesn’t mean he doesn’t miss her tremendously. Pete just chuckles, patting his shoulder affectionately before the two wander away from their quiet spot to the main areas of the base.

He was good with distracting himself since the mission called for a lot of his attention, time truly goes by fast when you are flying a F-18 and doing a good job at it. By the time it was night, he was already fidgety, going to the little area where everyone would chat with their loved ones and closed the door behind himself for some privacy.

Not that he’d do anything there, because he’s not stupid and he could control himself - most of the time - when dealing with Beatrice. The connection there was a bit slow, so he had to wait a little while for the call to actually load, in the meantime, he just looked down at his ring finger, using the pad of his index to draw an imaginary wedding band around it, trying to see what it’d look like on him just as he imagined on her.

Beatrice’s hands were smaller, softer, delicate but very powerful - as Eric well knows - even for her own self. He had a lot to organize from afar and he couldn’t be too anxious about it because he had a mission to finish and he had a house to go back to. A house that he shared with Beatrice and Jolene, he missed that dog too. He looks back up to check the connection, frowning when it still had the ‘loading’ still there.

His finger taps on the table anxiously, following the bouncing of his leg. He leans his head back against the chair’s backrest, crossing his arms over his chest and breathing in deeply, just waiting for it to do something. He had a short time to talk to Beatrice and he was excited to do it after so long.

Just messaging on the phone isn’t really…well, it is good but he liked seeing her face too, seeing her expressions and knowing she’s okay, that she’s safe meant a lot to him.

A ping called his attention, making the pilot lift his head from the headrest, seeing the ‘connection established’ shining on the screen, “Finally.” he muttered, pulling the chair closer so he could have a better look at Beatrice.

It takes a few seconds but eventually he sees…nothing, he sees just the empty kitchen and the top of Jolene’s head as she walks around. Bradley furrows his eyebrows, “Bea?” he calls with his voice as close to the mic as he could, hearing a gasp of surprise and the clanking of something in the sink.

“Brad!!” she calls, her body taking shape as she steps in front of the laptop on her side, “Sorry!I was getting some water.” she explains, adjusting herself on the chair and pulling herself closer to the screen,”Hi.”

“Hi, gorgeous.” he replies, folding his arms on the desk, “Busy day?”

Beatrice laughs but then nods and he takes her attire of denim overalls, a band shirt - Van Halen apparently - under it, a bandanna holding back the hair that wasn’t pulled back in her ponytail, “Yes,I’ve been doing some more DIY stuff- oh!” she stands up again, grabbing the laptop as she walked to the side of the kitchen where their stove and cabinets were “Look!”

It takes a while for the image to settle, but he follows her pointing finger to where he could see color. She walked closer until he could see the geometric backsplash between the counter and cabinets, it looked so good you’d think it came with the house, “Oh, wow, did you do that gorgeous?”

“I did!” her head pops up on the corner of the screen “I can’t go too far or else I’ll unplug the laptop, but yes I did!” he hears her bare feet tapping back to the table she was seated, “Michael helped me put it on too, but I cut the right measurements!”

She looked and sounded so happy, he couldn’t help but lean his head on a closed fist, “Well it looks amazing.”

“Thank you-oh!Oh! I have to show you something!” she stands up quickly, leaving the screen. He could hear the sound of something plastic being lifted from the ground. Beatrice's head comes back, her smile never faltering “Look!” she holds up a tool box, not any tool box, a purple tool box filled with equally purple power tools.

Bradley chuckles, noticing it was a full set - except in purple - and she added little stickers with names on everything so she wouldn’t forget, “Well, you got yourself some power tools then?”

“Michael suggested it.” she says, gently closing the box and putting it away, “He’s saying since I’m doing so many DIY projects I should have my own tool set.” she smiles, placing her head on her palms, the action making her cheeks squish up and he had to fight the need to scream, she looked like a chipmunk. “I’ve been watching a lot of videos and I’ve been doing some stuff, nothing dangerous! But it’s a lot cheaper than buying at a decor store.”

Rooster smiles right back at her, enjoying her enthusiasm over her new hobby. She was a very creative person so he wasn’t surprised to see she found other outlets for herself, “Like what, besides the backsplash?”

“Well…” she drawls the word, trying to think on it “I’ve added a colored arch behind our couch and my couch in the art room so it ‘pops’ a bit more, I got a cabinet on a thrift store and repainted it black and yellow so it matches the decor and left it on the hallway so we can put a little bit of everything there,I also made a vertical garden wall with some trelices I found! I think it looks good! And I’m making us a rug for our room.”

That made him pause and suddenly sit straighter, “A rug?”

“Yeah! It’s basically threading yarn through a thin but sturdy cloth then cutting it and gluing a non-slip rug pad underneath. It’s a bit big because I want it to like, cover a good chunk of our room but I’m doing it!”

He just looked at her in complete shock and adoration, of course she’d do something like that. There was no way Beatrice could be even more incredible and yet she keeps proving him wrong!

“I hope you like it.”

“I know I’ll love it baby.” he says sweetly, “You are so talented you just can’t keep your creativity still.”

Beatrice blushes a soft red, one that brings out the faint freckles forming over her nose, something he never noticed before because it probably meant she was spending a lot of time outside. He was glad she was having a good time even with him gone, she deserved to have some fun and if it helped the house in the process even better, “How was your week though? We weren’t able to talk before today.”

“I know.” she mutters, adjusting herself on the chair again and leaning on her clasped hands, “It’s been pretty nice, nothing unusual. Well Penny thinks there are raccoons at the bar,” he arches his eyebrows when she says it, surprised “Yeah, something is ripping the trashbags from the bin but she’s not sure if it’s an animal or a person, so she wants to add some cameras around the bar just to make sure.”

“Sounds reasonable enough.” he comments, “Anything else?”

Beatrice opens her mouth, then closes, then opens again only for not words to make their way out, “Bea?” his girlfriend snaps her eyes back at him almost as if she didn’t hear him the first time, “Something wrong?”

“Huh? Oh no no! I was just remembering that yesterday me and my aunt went shopping.”

“Your aunt? Your aunt Martha?”

“Yeah…” she drawls off looking to the side “She showed up right outside the door.”

Beatrice looks up from the rug she was currently working on when she heard the doorbell chime. She frowns, pulling out her phone to check who it was by the small camera, blinking in surprise when she noticed it was no one else but her aunt Martha in her long flowery Janis Joplin esque dress, “Hey auntie.” she says to the phone, making Martha look down at the small camera and then lean closer, offering her niece a smile.

“Hello preziosa. Would you mind opening the door for me? I see your doggy is very interested in knowing who it is.”

“Oh my God, yeah, sure auntie!” Beatrice pushes everything aside, rushing to stand on her feet, rushing back inside and smiling at Jolene’s wagging tail and head partially hidden by the white curtains that covered the windows on each side of the front door, very similar from back at her old place.

Beatrice snatches the key from the magnetic shelf, unlocking the door and opening it…only to find her aunt wasn’t there. She blinks, leaning her body forward - Jolene doing the same - until she finds her aunt Martha looking at the plants that adorned the front of her house, “Auntie?” Martha gently lifts up her head, still caressing the leaf with one hand and Jolene with the other.

“Your front garden is beautiful, Beatrice.” she says, “Lovely Russian sage, it’s great under the heat and humidity.”

Beatrice follows her aunt’s gaze to the said plant, she had no idea that’s what it was called and maybe she should take some time learning about them, “Oh, ah, thank you auntie I just…water them…” which she does, is all that she does so they don’t die. “Do you want to come inside? It’s quite warm today.”

It was nearing 81°F that day and Beatrice drank at least three bottles of ice water since she woke up, “Oh it is. It’s a lovely weather.” and her aunt didn’t move, she could see the couple from across the street - Ryan and Henry - walking their doberman puppy. They rose their hands as a greeting, then furrowed their eyebrows at the strange lady in front of Beatrice’s door.

Beatrice offered them an awkward smile and a wave back, mouthing the word ‘family’ the best she could and ended with a shrug. The two men didn’t seem too bothered after that, they just laughed and walked into their house. Meanwhile Beatrice’s smile dropped, turning her eyes to her aunt who was now leaning her head back with her eyes closed and a serene smile on her face, “Auntie.” she calls, even Jolene looks up in confusion when she stops being scratched by the older woman.

Martha opens her eyes, long natural lashes fluttering as she does so, “Would you like to go shopping with me?” her niece just blinks in surprise, “I must buy something for Leonardo’s new baby.”

“Oh! Um…okay?” Beatrice laughs softly, “I’ll just put on a clean shirt, this is old and kinda dirty.” her aunt just nods, waving her hand so delicately Beatrice thought it was flying like a butterfly’s wings. The brunette looks to the side, furrows her brows, then goes back into her house, Jolene remains at her aunt’s side as her owner walks up the stairs to change into something better.

She puts on a white tank top and ripped jeans, with her faithful black converse on her feet. She makes her way back down, her aunt was now sitting on the front steps of her house with Jolene next to her, offering her pink tummy to be petted. Beatrice smiles, putting on her sunglasses and fixing her bag strap, “I’m back.”

Martha looks over her shoulder with a smile, “Good.” she stands with a grace that resembles a fawn in the forest, her long dress flowing with the wind as she walks down the steps,”Perhaps we can use your car, I came here by bike.”

Again? How’s her aunt doing that so often and still keeping her legs healed is a mystery, “Sure auntie, Jojo, back inside.” the pittie rolls back on her feet, receiving a love pat on her butt from Bea, turning around and kissing the brunette’s cheek before she rushes inside the house. Beatrice sighs, locking the door after putting her aunt’s bicycle inside and walking to her Jeep that was parked outside since she was planning on getting something for Leo either w– did her aunt know? How did her aunt know? She didn’t tell anyone.

Beatrice decided to freak out later and imagine this was just a huge coincidence nothing more. Martha waits patiently, watching Beatrice unlock the car then walk to the passenger side to open the door for her aunt, “You are so kind, dear.” Martha smiles, kissing her niece’s forehead, lifting the end of her dress so she could step inside the Wrangler without issue. Once she’s inside, Beatrice walks around it to the driver’s, giving her aunt a grin once she latches the seatbelt on, “Your car is lovely as is your home.”

“Thank you auntie,” Bea says, looking at the rear view mirror as she reversed the car, “Gabby helped us find it.”

“Well, she did a wonderful job.” Martha looks out of the window when her niece drives up to the road, “I think that store…Littlesnaps has some wonderful options.”

“Littlesnaps?” Beatrice repeats, turning her street and onto the road, “It’s close to the vet clinic I take Jolene.” she makes the way in her mind, not using the gps since it was a place she knew well from the very few times she took the pittie there, “I’ve seen it by passing, it seems really nice.”

“Yes, little Éowyn needs a good wardrobe.”

“Oh my God he really went through with it.” Beatrice laughs, paying attention to the signs around her, “God bless Cynthia, she loves him so much to endure his silliness.” but she was happy, and she was sure so was Bianca. Having another girl in the house would be good for her…and nerve wracking for Leo who would be extremely outnumbered in that house. Her aunt just gives her niece a look, followed by a knowing smile before she returns her gaze to the outside, watching the palm trees go by.

They finally reach the store after a few seconds stuck in traffic, Beatrice walking out first and looking at her aunt to make sure she was right behind. Martha’s smile only remained, offering her niece her elbow - which she took it- as the two wandered inside. It was a big store, much like the one at the mall, with two floors and long aisles filled with kids’ clothes separated by ages. Since Éowyn was a little infant, they went to the 0+ area.

Beatrice stood next to her aunt as she looked through the different options, “Are you excited to be an aunt again, Beatrice?” her aunt asked while trifling through the different colored onesies.

“I am,” she replies, the brunette going to the two piece hanging on top of each other “It’ll be nice to have another baby in the family, it has been a while.”

She didn’t see her aunt’s shifty look her way, nor the way her eyes dropped to her stomach then back up to her niece’s face, “I feel it’ll be a good year for the third generation.” she says cryptically, making Beatrice laugh and turn to face her aunt.

“Oh? More people are having babies,auntie?”

Martha’s eyes shone with something, joy or wonder or magic. Who knew really, “Yes.” is all that she said before she held up the koala themed onesie for her niece to see. Beatrice’s eyebrows furrowed just a bit at her aunt’s words, but she disconsidered, only adding how it was a lovely outfit for the baby.

They spent a few minutes there, and Martha wanted to give the baby options. Options her parents would make her wear but her niece didn’t stop her, Beatrice herself got a few outfits too.Once at the cashier, both women waited for the clothes to be gift wrapped, Martha’s eyes once again moving to Beatrice who, this time, met her aunt’s gaze, “What?” she questions with a smile, “What’s happening auntie?”

Martha’s eyes stayed on her, her smile widening as clasps her hands together “...are you and Bradley thinking about having kids?” Beatrice almost choked on her spit, her face flaming up to the point it resembled lava.

“Wh-No!” but her traitorous brain whispered ‘but you’d love to’ “No,n-no we are not-not thinking about it.” yet.

“Mm.” Martha says, dropping her eyes back down at her niece’s stomach, “It’ll come in time.” she says softly.

“In time?” Beatrice repeats, still flaming at the face, “Well yes but–”

“October.”

Beatrice immediately shuts up, looking at her aunt with wide eyes, “W-What?”

“October will be a good month for you.” Martha grins, “A lot will happen.” What is that supposed to mean? Beatrice could only look at her aunt with wide eyes, chewing her lower lip and furrowing her brows, “Yes, then…oh how lovely. Same month.” what the hell, what is up with her family members being cryptic??? “Yes,oh, how fun. How lovely.”

“Auntie…I-I don’t know what you mean.” she whispers when the lady comes back with their wrapped gifts, thanking the two women who walk out of the store with Martha holding Beatrice’s arm around her elbow again.

“You will, in time.” once again, more riddle-esque replies. Beatrice frowns, biting her lower lip even harder and unlocking the car for her aunt to step in first, “It’ll be wonderful for you. I’ll help you if you need to.”

“...thanks? With what exactly?”

Martha just squinted her eyes humorously, “You’ll see.”

–

But Beatrice took a good chunk of that conversation out, just adding some…random stuff she knew her aunt would say to Bradley instead of the actual subject, “But yeah, that was what happened.”

Her boyfriend’s face on the other end went confused, but he smiles “I mean, you always said your aunt was a bit of a witch.”

“Haha, yeah,” god that laugh was so nervous, “But, s-she’s a good witch, you know?”

“I know.” Bradley’s smile drops when he looks at the time on his watch, “Shit,I have to go, gorgeous.” Beatrice tried to not show disappointment, but her sad little smile made his heart clench, “I’ll talk to you soon again, okay?”

“Okay. I’ll have my phone with me whenever you message.” she says sweetly, “I love you!”

Rooster smiles, his eyes shining even in the bad connection, “I love you too, angel.Just a few more months, still counting the days?”

‘Always.”

His smile widened, “Me too.” He looked over his shoulder, someone probably called him and then turned back to the camera “I have to go, baby. I love you, we’ll talk soon okay?” she nodded, waving him goodbye and watching as the connection cut off and the only thing she could see was her own reflection.

Beatrice sat there in silence, inhaling deeply before she dropped her head to the table with a pained groan. First the disembodied children's voices, then her aunt saying…that…she groans louder, hitting her forehead on the wood gently, the sound calling Jolene’s attention who walked into the kitchen with her head tilted, “I think I need a drink Jojo.” she pauses, “Or several.”

Du a Gwyn.

For a Childrone, Beau sure knows how to make her feel like crap.

"Beau, I'm fine, don't worry," she continued to stress, even when she knows she's more than fine.

Considering she's been properly cleaned and repaired for the first time in probably 21 years, Beau was giving her the most bombastic side-eye known to Drone-Kin. Drone kind? Oh, who even cares at this point?

Beau continued to watch her sort the buckets and boxes filled with numerous supplies given to them by dear suppliers (see: any unfortunate, unlucky soul whom was found by Alice before the Sentinels), and gestured to the notepad besides her.

"Yeah, I can write; shocker, huh?"

He rolled his eyes, then pointing at a sloppy-written part of it:

1. Get spare parts needed (for antlers/other body parts)

2. Keep Yeva's kid away from the Prom

*Oozee Uzi said she also has witchcraft. Bit of a problem.

Alice clinked her fingers together. Beau only nudged her, looking concerned.

"...Don' give me tha' look, Beau," she rubbed his head, adjusting his cowboy hat. "Aye'll be alrigh'. Trus' me, okay?"

Beau gave a sigh using 'DISSAPOINTED_SIGH.SFX', but ultimately let her go. But not before he gave her something.

It looked like a camera, of sorts. A very crudely-made one, mind, with... wait.

"Beau, is this a Robo-Goddamned Sentinel lens?"

A smirk came on to his face.

"...Thanks." a rare moment where her eyes were whole, she smiled at him, and he gave her a thumbs up back.

Well, with friends like these...

-----------------------------------

...That reminds her.

"So, what's Yeva's kid like?"

Uzi was on her bed, arranging her chaotic collection of notes, and Alice was crouching on the chair that she pushed towards the bed after hopping on to it.

"She's... strange. I was pretty sure she had the Solv--ah, the witch power, but, anyways: she's quiet, speaks Russian, and I'm like, kinda alright with her? I mean, we've chatted a couple of times, but it was mostly class work."

Alice hummed. "Have you thought abou' befriendin' 'er?"

"What? No! That'd mean I'd also have to befriend Lizzy, and friends don't suit me!"

"Then what am I, lil purp?" she leaned over her, but Uzi seemed to have lost any fear from it.

"You are some mad Worker Drone I found and is leeching off of my cleaning supplies. Also, how old even are you, anyway?"

"Hey, it's rude ta ask a lady her age, ya know?"

A dry look was Uzi's reply.

"...Oh, fine. I'm forty-one."

Uzi blinked in surprise. "Wait, really? Damn, you look... surprisingly good. No... nano-wrinkles or anything."

Her eyes became whole again, and lifted her right eyebrow. "Oh, really now?"

"Easy there, I'm just saying," she rolled her eyes, then looked at Alice's. "Also, you look... weird, with full eyes."

"More used to these, huh?" they went back into circles. "Eh, so am I; makes it easier for people to think I'm just some crazy witch livin' down below."

Uzi's face changed into text: "BUT U ARE? (⁠ ⁠･ั⁠﹏⁠･ั⁠)"

"...I ain't winning this," wisely kicking herself back over to the desk, she started to write again.

"So, back to what were we talkin' abou'..."

"Look, I don't even know where to start with 'making friends'. No point trying in something I can't even do."

"Uh huh."

"Don't 'uh huh' me!"

"Nuh uh."

"Stop with the slang, it sounds weird!"

Alice smirked in response. Hey, she could be funny too, on the occasion.

-----------------------------------

Doll liked to keep things simple, as ironic as it may sound to others.

And she knew that others, didn't. Take Lizzy; she and her were... friends? But, point remains, she overcomplicates things.

Then, enter the scrawled note she found:

Hey, I'm terrible at this so just meet by my house after classes

--Uzi

P.S. No this isn't some kinda plot, I legit just want a chat and also just let urself in

Now, that was curious. Uzi Doorman, making small talk? Perish the thought!

...Is what Lizzy would jokingly say. Doll, however, says it's odd.

She admits she always wanted to get to know Uzi; the angst-ridden goth girl was an interesting person, so hey, who knows, hm?

...Of course, she had neglected to mention the antler-headed Worker Drone who lived in there.

"Heya, Surface-Slicker--!"

She instinctively lifted her arm up--

ERROR: LIKE OBJECT CANNOT BE EDITED.

"...Well, that's just rude." she said, her eyes looking at her with mild annoyance.

Erstwhile, Doll was sure she nearly oiled herself. ["Y-You as well?"]

"Mm? Oh, that. Yeeeeah... pain in the ass, like, but it still has some uses." The woman shrugs, slithering her way over to the bed where Uzi was sleeping. "Don' worry too much abou' her, she'll wake in a couple'a minutes."

["...I see."] Doll then coughed into her hand. ["Apologies for attacking you. I simply have never seen someone else with this... curse."]

"An' I wish you didn't see any more. It ain' fun, having a power you can't control, righ'? But try and control it, or suppress, or even just go along with it... an' you end up like the others."

["What others?"] came the sharp reply.

"You would know." the lady responds, before taking out a picture. "Of all people."

Doll took the picture, and nearly vomitted.

Her mother.

Ma... she...

The picture showed a human in the corner, different robots unlike Drones, and three Worker Drones.

To the right was someone who's face was in the wall. Despite that, red hair was visible, so she can only surmise it's the Drone in front of her (which, now that she's looking at her, spots on top of her antlers(?!) a lanyard like her mother had; this one saying her name is 'Alice'.

In the middle was a very relaxed looking Worker Drone, who seemed to be chilling with the dinosaurs and using the AbsoluteSolver with casualness.

On on the left... Yeva. Her mom. Crying, as her visor broke and bled ink.

"Yeva was always the quiet one; and she never learnt how ta probably control it." Alice said. She looked at her with full, orange eyes. "I'm sorry to hear what happened to them. She was probably the nicest gal I ever met."

["...Thank you. It... means a lot."] Doll then looked over to Uzi. ["Was this why she wanted to make friends with me?"]

"Nah, it was me who wanted to keep that thing under close watch; she genuinely thought you were pretty cool. And, well, her judgement is... decent enough, I think. Better than Nori's was, anyway."

["Maybe, but she never did consider making a rail gun was a bad idea--"]

It was like a lightning strike. As soon as the words left her, Uzi booted up, with 'CONFUSION.EXE: BOOTED' on her visor, and looked over, her eyes narrowed.

"Well, I didn't know I had Robo-Satan in me! So bite me, it worked!" she then got up and walked over. "Ugh, still... I think you're alright."

["Even if I hang out with Lizzy?"]

"Lizzy's Lizzy."

["...Fair. I suppose I agree. You're quite a genius."]

Turning her head, she nodded. ["This thing we all share isn't good. I swear I'll help you both once I find what I'm looking for. Until then, please: stay far away from the Prom."]

"The heck you mean--?"

Red lightning suddenly crackled, and Doll vanished.

"Wha--" blinking, Uzi whipped her head around. "It can teleport you???"

"It does more than just change your eye colour." Alice replied, gesturing at her ID. Green was on it, while Alice presently had orange eyes.

Huh. Weird.

"...She knows we're gonna go to the Prom, isn't she?"

"'We'?"

"Don't pull that face. I'm old, not senile."

Oh, now that was a stretch, for sure...

Escape *Part 2*

Sebastian X Fem!Reader

Word Count: 1135

Requested: Anon

Request: Please please please make a part 2 of escape. I love how you turned it into. About Reader taking Sebastian with her cause she has feelings for him etc. Thank you !

*Part 1*

It was only a few months later that Sebastian came looking for you, it seemed that there was something going on at the school and you were the only person that he could think of that might be able to help. That was why he was standing in front of the house that were supposed to be staying at. “What’s wrong with you, just knock on the door.” MG grumbled as he shoved his hands in his pockets. “I am.” Sebastian said as he stepped forward doing exactly what he said that he would, it was a second before the door opened but when it did you were standing there, you looked better than you had when he last saw you, new clothes and without the stress of someone trying to kill you all the time you put on more weight looked healthier, as he looked at you now he wondered why he hadn’t seen it before, just how beautiful you are. “Sebastian.” You smiled “is there something that I can help you with?” “Huh?” Sebastian was snapped out of his thoughts at your question before remembering what it was that he was doing there. “We need your help.” “Come in and tell me why.” You stepped to the side allowing him and MG to walk in. “I’m MG by the way.” The boy said as he walked past you. “Nice to meet you.” He could hear the smile in your voice and as he looked around the space that you were now calling your own, he wondered if he should even bother you with this, you seemed to have settled down nicely here. “So… Are you going to tell me what’s going on or what?” You asked. “Well Sebastian said that you were one of the strongest people that he’d met, wouldn’t tell us why though…” MG shrugged. “It’s none of your business and not my story to tell.” Sebastian answered. “So you need someone who’s strong?” You asked. “Kind of, the thing is there’s been an incident at the school with Lizzie and Josie.” MG explained. “The twins?” You asked. “Why are you beating around the bush what happened?” “They were arguing about something and they managed to somehow fill the conditions for a spell that he had found, one that we tracked back to your lineage of witchcraft.” MG explained “so we were hoping that you would come and have a look at it, maybe see if you know how to break it.” “You don’t have to if you don’t want to.” Sebastian added “I’m sure that there was some other way that we could help them.” “I can help.” You answered “there’s just something that I need to grab before we go.”

You all made it back to the school in record time, where you met Alaric and Hope, who also thanked you for coming, you were led into the room the two girls were in and they looked fine “so what do I need to fix?” You asked. “This is the witch that is supposed to save us?” One of them asked, the one with the darker hair. “Jo- Lizzie behave yourself.” Alaric ordered as he looked at you. “The spell that activated was one that swapped their bodies.” “Mm.” You nodded as you walked over to a table pulling out the grimoire that you had found at your old family home, you turned the pages until you found the spell that you were looking for. “You found it?” The twin with the lighter hair asked as she walked over looking at the page. “Yes my family were known for their tight family bonds, with siblings or members of the family that were going to be working closely, this spell was used to see the world through another’s eyes. For my family it was used to make people feel closer, the coven was tighter and others would come to us to see if they were truly compatible.” You explained. “So there’s a way to reverse it?” Hope asked and you nodded. “There are two, the first is for you both to see the world through the other's eyes and settle whatever difference brought you here… But given the fact that you're still in this condition, you’ll likely need the other fix.” You said. “Well?” Lizzie asked. “You guys are pretty lucky, twins are connected by spirit when magic is involved, so I don’t need a conduit for this spell to work,but you both need to concentrate on getting back to your own bodies.” You ordered. “Do you need anything else?” Alaric asked. “No, if you're ready.” You put your hands out in front of you they both took a hand each and you spoke the incantation, the wind seemed to pick up for a second before stillness took over, both twins seemingly going still before they both took in a huge breath opening their eyes. “Are you okay?” You asked. “Yes, thank you. I’m Josie by the way.” The girl with the darker hair smiled and you nodded as you let go of their hands. You stumbled slightly, hands immediately coming to steady you, you recognised the ring pressed into the skin of your right arm. “Are you okay?” Sebastian asked his lips close to your ear, you nodded righting yourself, catching Lizzie watching you both as you turned to Alaric. “Is there anything else that I can help you with?” You asked. “No, would it be okay for us to contact you if we need your help again?” Alaric asked. “Of course.” You nodded. “Sebastian and MG know where to find me.”

Sebastian was the one to make sure that you got home safe. “I thought you would have stayed with Lizzie.” You said as you walked with him. “We haven’t really spoken since we got back, she never really wanted me anyway.” He shrugged and you frowned. “Who told you that?” You asked. “She did. The night that I came back.” He answered. “What?” You asked. “I haven’t spoken to her since, I missed having you around though.” He admitted “we spent so much time together that I forgot what it was like to be lonely.” “We came back to a world with so many people but we still managed to be lonely.” You laughed “maybe it’s us.” “Do you think that maybe we should stick together then?” He asked. “Are you sure, you really wanted her before.” You said. “I did, but I won’t follow her around like a lost puppy, it’s unhealthy and it’ll only result in my death.” He said. “You’ve been thinking about this a lot haven’t you?” You asked. “Mmm.” He hummed. “Then it’s lucky that I have a spare room isn’t it.” You teased him. “I think it is.” He answered.

Requests and general question!

Note

for requests what about continuing on your fic of cc!joel being the one in empires?

Asked and received!

I'll continue this with a third part at some point. Just didn't want the post to be too long.

Previous Part Here

---

PixlRiff has made a mistake.

That, alone, isn’t a rarity (he is but a living being, after all, just as prone to mishaps and poor decisions as any other one), and though he’d love to lift his chin and declare there to be no issue here, it’s become quite clear in the recent days that such would be impossible.

Maybe if Joel was quieter Pix could manage it. If he weren’t so intent on spouting absurdities to Pix’s ignorant players and pleading for someone to believe him, Pix is quite sure things could have gotten on reasonably well.

But, no, Joel Smallishbeans is insolent and stubborn and loud. And of course that had gotten the man into trouble.

The elytra at his back buzzes as he streaks through the skies of his empire. He has not one but them all, claiming every land within the continent, control reaching as far as the Titans may touch.

He is the Loremaster, afterall, and this is his story.

But stories have order and outlines and regulated patterns of cause and effect which make up a thrilling and compelling narrative. Stories require order, and so if Joel wasn’t eager to play his role, Pix may have to revise.

The fields and trees give way to a mesa, and at the heart of it Pix comes to land.

The Sheriff is there already, pacing back and forth with a nervous bite to his nails, muttering strange happenings about “the law” and “respect.”

But his eyes find Pix’s and he summons a smile, reassured by the presence. “Pix!”

“I came as soon as I could, Sheriff.” Pix’s eyes are locked on the small wooden building off to the side, clearly hobbled together by inexperienced hands. He tilts his head at it, stepping up to its porch without waiting for permission. “What seems to be the problem?”

“Just the new guy causin’ a fuss,” Jimmy says, a strange sort of hesitancy to approach his own building. “Been driving Lizzie up the wall and, well, I am the law, ain’t I? So I go and try to help her sort it out and–”

“And you arrest him?” Pix says, an eyebrow raised as he nods into the station. Through the stained glass windows Pix can just make out a white-robed figure huddled in the corner of a cell.

“He was being creepy!”

“Creepy how?”

The Sheriff winces, eyes finding the cliffs of the canyon as he crosses his arms, one hand raised to continue the incessant chewing of nails. He doesn’t say anything. Just averts his gaze.

It’s enough to soften Pix’s heart, and Pix abandons the graveness he was wearing. He can’t say his practices are ethical, but all the same Pix cares for his players. He really does. So to see one clearly unwell by his mistake…?

Pix offers the Sheriff a smile, hoping it might bridge the gap. “What’s going on?”

“You’re gonna think I’ve gone mad.”

“Already do,” Pix teases, and the Sheriff snorts at that, unease melting away just a bit.

“Right,” the Sheriff sighs and, at last, begins to approach his station. “Pretty sure it’s witchcraft. I mean–things have been weird since that witch popped up out in the woods, and now this guy? He’s spouting all sorts of nonsense about my tubes and causing discord.”

Pix frowns, face contorted at recognition of words which don’t quite belong to this realm. He stays silent, though, as the Sheriff fumbles with the keys to the station. “And he knows things. Things he definitely shouldn’t know.”

“Like?”

The lock clicks, and with a stiff arm the Sheriff pushes the door to the station in. “Like my name.”

The floorboards creak under unwelcomed weight as Pix steps inside, ducking under the low hanging doorframe. Within the darkness of the cell a figure stirs, and bright green eyes lock onto Pix’s.

“Pix!”

Joel's up in an instant, all but slamming into the iron bars at sight of the loremaster, even if Pix keeps himself from returning the greeting.

This isn’t your player, he reminds himself. This is someone else…

But it certainly looks like the god the loremaster intended to bring, even if this figure is clearly mortal. He looks utterly atrocious, hair undone, beard lost, so far from the eleven foot frame the rumored god was in possession of. Before Pix is a man tired and confused, his entire weight pressed against the bars as if afraid he’d collapse from merely standing.

“Please,” Joel pleads, reaching out towards Pix. “You remember me, yeah? Minecraft, empires! The Lore and the Lore and the Law! That’s us! That’s us three!”

Pix winces, stepping away from the man’s touch. “How long have you had him in here?”

“Just a few hours,” the Sheriff says, coming up beside Pix. “He looked like this when I found him following Lizzie. Horrid thing. Don’t know how he’s a god.”

“Please,” Joel pleads again, forehead pressed against the bar. “Jimmy, please, let me out. I need to find Lizzie. She doesn’t–she doesn’t believe me. I need her.”

Jimmy. Pix watches his player wince at the name, clearly uncomfortable by its use. Pix knows it, of course (he knows everything about his dear players), but there’s no one within the Story that the Sheriff has told it to.

It’s a flag, crimson and waving. If this Joel knows the Sheriff’s name, what more could he know?

What more could he spoil?

“Right,” Pix says with a huff, holding out his hands towards the Sheriff. “Keys.”

The Sheriff snorts. “Keys?! Are you out of your bloody mind? We can’t let him out.”

“We’re not letting him out. I’ll handle him.”

He hopes the statement isn’t as ominous as it sounds, but judging by Joel’s sudden silence, it must hold some weight.

The Sheriff seems to want to argue (and if he did, there’s plenty Pix could do to resolve it), but he keeps quiet and, after a moment, shoves a key into Pix’s hand. “I’ll ready an ‘I told you so’.”

Pix takes the key graciously. “I’m sure you will.”

He doesn’t think much before inserting it into the lock and twisting. Before Pix has a chance to remove the key, Joel is shoving his way through the door, throwing Pix back into a shouting Jimmy and sprinting out the door, barefoot feet slapping against wood and sand.

Jimmy shouts, summoning a sword in preparation of pursuit only for Pix to stop him with a hand on his chest.

“Let him run,” Pix says, head tilted in consideration of the escapee. “I want to see how far he gets."

Ranking TVDU Parents

Disclaimer: I am not a parent, this is just my opinions.

1. Caroline

Best Mom. This goes without question.

2. Stefan

I may not have shipped Steroline, but Stefan frickin loved those kids. He literally did everything to protect them.

3. Jo

We didn’t get to see her be a mother, but I think she would have been a frickin, great, supportive mother. And unlike Alaric, she wouldn’t actually actively suppress her children’s powers. Like she choose to give up her magic, but I don’t think she’d ever force or limit her children’s powers, just because that’s what she did and wanted.

WORST - Hayley

First chance she got, she shipped her child to boarding school. AND DON’T YOUR DARE SAY IT FOR HER OWN GOOD or to teach her. Hope had all, and more resources than anyone out their. New Orleans was the PERFECT place to raise a supernatural kid. They had vampires, werewolves, and even witches. Freya, Marcel (or Josh if Marcel wasn’t around), and Keelin, she literally had every resource available from every faction. So well Rebekah, Elijah, Kol, and Klaus - her own father, were struggling to be in the same room as her, frickin Hayley chooses to ship her child out to a different state. And then when her child acted out (like any teenager) Hayley continued to make bad choices. Suddenly wanting to control everything Hope did. Like if you wanted to micro mange your child, or control how she used her magic, her blood, you shouldn’t have sent her away to be taught by somebody else, and taught her yourself! (Plus, I don’t think the school opened till the end of The Originals season 4 [and no - the check wasn’t for Hope, Klaus sent that money because of Caroline... ok like 70% Caroline, and 30% because his own kid will be going there], so Hayley literally shipped her kid out the second she got the chance to)

WORST - Alaric

Depends on who your ranking him on. Lizzie and Josie, or Hope. He constantly went around acting like Hope’s father (even when she didn’t want to - which is completely reasonable - she didn’t want her headmaster acting like her frickin dad - it’s creepy as heck), when Josie and Lizzie were left alone, and acting out - desperate to try and get their father’s attention.

Klaus - I have literally no idea where I should place him. Like yeah, he died for Hope, but we really didn’t get to see any moments between Klaus and Hope (plus, he had the whole MIA phase - so he’d definitely loose points for that). We never got to see him be a father, despite how much the showed revolved around the baby plot (which I found ironic and annoying). Like what was the point of shoving fatherhood down his throat, if we wouldn’t get to see those moments. So from what I’ve seen, he kind of ranked 2nd or third, but I’m not really sure.

Special Acknowledgment: If it ever happened, Caroline and Klaus would be THE BEST parent duo out their, you can not change my mind).

And Rebekah would be an AMAZING mother to, like the best.

Dissecting the past:

In 2021 I came to realize that I have a past life from another source that is parallel to my life as Ciel. Well, as close to parallel as possible, my birth was 4 years and a few months off. This life and world are an altered version of the one I had as Ciel. One could argue my life as Ciel is from an altered life as well when compared to the current world. I will not bore you (reader) with my rambling on alternate universes or multiverses. The basic idea is that someone changed the world as it was known and now everyone still exists but perhaps differently than how they were. There are now other supernatural beings that have clashed with humans.

As Ciel, I was not aware of this other life. As…hmm what should I call him? Let’s go with “Vincent.” As “Vincent,” I was aware of my life as Ciel. I had the ability to see some of the alterations that took place and what the “true past” was like. I only gained this ability after I inherited what I deemed a curse. Most of my childhood I was unaware of this other life. It wasn’t until my late teens that I was marked. By the time I ran into Sebastian, who wasn’t a demon but something else, I knew it was him instantly. I came on a tad strong, in my defense I was dealing with two lifetimes of trauma. Sadly, he didn’t recall me as most did not. I decided to not divulge our shared past. I was stubborn and hoped he would remember it on his own. I hoped anyone would. (As I still do, yet here I am being vague. I don’t name a source because I want the memories to come back organically. I want someone to stumble upon it and connect the dots for themselves. And yes, there is a bit of fear of someone going, “meh, I don’t see it.”)

Now with two pasts…current day me has had some confusion. It’s kind of like watching two movies at the same time with the exact same actors, set in the same period, and trying to keep them straight. There are some common themes as well. I adopted someone else’s name/identity. I was orphaned. I had a traumatic childhood. I had a brother, though not by blood originally. Undertaker brought him back, yet again. Sebastian wasn’t human and I was still appetizing to him, though he wasn’t a demon. He still loves cats. Undertaker was causing chaos behind the scenes.

More: Sieglinde was considered a witch of the forest, and she had Wolfram by her side. William was too serious for his own good and wanted everything done by the book. Grell was just as murderous as before and still had gender issues. Edward had some weird rivalry with me, though this time he was a woman, and he was interested in Sebastian. Mey-Rin had a small crush on Sebastian. Finny was sunny as always. Bard was kind of moody. Madam Red met her end in front of me again. Lizzie and I loved each other, though it was a little different.

I’m sure you can see how difficult it can be to separate everything. There were things I remembered that I thought was from my time as Ciel that really was as my time as “Vincent.” One major thing, I thought the cult had conducted medical experiments on me and my brother. That was as Vincent. I thought I might have struggled with a morphine dependance at one point, also Vincent. I thought I went through some kind of transformation, despite being very aware of my death…Vincent once more. I’m now filtering any memories that come through, which life does it make more sense in? Some are obvious, others are trickier.

Why am I writing this? I guess I just want to be transparent. I know I can’t be the only one going through this and maybe by sharing this it could help someone else. I tend to keep to myself in the kin community, I am rather shy. But I haven’t heard much on anyone experiencing this. My messages and inbox are always open, if anyone wants to chat or has questions. At the least, I hope someone found this interesting and maybe they’ve gained a new perspective.

Chapter Four: The Next Morning

━━━━━━━༺ - ༻━━━━━━━

Co-writer @bellarkeselection

The Next Morning

Lizzie woke up to the sounds of loud birds chirping outside, stretching her arms. She pushed the covers off her and was about to get out of bed when a soft hand grabbed her from behind.

Thinking it was MG, she smiled and turned around to see who it truly was before her, Ken. Then she recalled what happened last night.

The young Saltzman turned around, starting to feel guilty about what happened last night. She had cheated on MG, a boy who she loved dearly.

“ Going somewhere, darling,” Ken said, wrapping an arm around her waist and pulling her against him.

“ I wish to take a shower and clean off these stains on my thighs,” Lizzie said. With your permission, my king, may I take a shower, please?

Ken smirked at her. "Want me to join you?"

"I think it's better if we take a break after last night." She suggested. " I'm still kind of sore."

Ken put his hands behind his head eyeing her. "Fine, fine. That just means I was better than that vampire boy."

She scoffed at his words. “ No offense, your grace… My boyfriend knows my body more than you."

"Hmm, are you so sure about that?" He teased her tugging her against his bare chest and immediately kissing her sweet spot, getting a moan from her.

“ Yes.” Lizzie whimpered, closing her eyes.

Ken pressed on further running his hands over her until he felt her lean into him. "You are a terrible liar, Elizabeth. I've had years of practice to remember."

She turned around to face him. “ Why don't you ever just want to settle down, like take a wife? I mean I'm sure you could find someone to satisfy and make you happy."

"I did once…and then I cheated on her. I've never been able to live it down." He replied. "She got crazy and turned into someone that I didn't know anymore ... .NevermindNevermind that. Would you want me to assist you?"

“ No, I don't need any help..” She said pulling away from his touch, getting up from the bed. She wrapped the sheets around her. "Where's the bathroom?" She asked, glancing back at him.

Ken waved his hand laying back down on the pillows. "Down the hall to the right." He watched the blonde witch leave the room with one of the blankets wrapped around her. He paused briefly until he couldn't help but follow after her.

Lizzie made her way into the bathroom more like bathing chambers, looking around she saw a huge tub filled with water. Bending down, she touched the water to see if it was the right temperature, it was warm.

She threw the blanket on the counter and stepped into the tub, leaning her back against the wall and closing her eyes. She began to get lost in her thoughts until she felt a large arm around her waist. "What the hell. I told you no!"

"For future reference just know I don't listen. I'm the most powerful being on the planet. I can do whatever I wish." He explained to the witch.

Lizzie glared. "Just because you are doesn't mean you should have a say in people’s life."

"Well, I'm a King, Elizabeth." He tilted his head, changing his smirk to a half smile. "I'm not going to hurt you if that’s what you think. I am just here offering my help."

Lizzie rolls her eyes. "So you have a soft side?"

Ken nodded. "Yes."

She avoided his gaze. " I hardly believe that.”

She grabbed one of the sponges at the end of the tub and began filling it with soap from the side table. She started rubbing it all over her body, savoring the smell.

“ May I help wash you?” The god whispered.

The heretic shook her head. “ I should be serving you, not the other way already, your grace.

She took another sponge nearby and poured some soap on it before turning around and carefully rubbing the sponge over God's body, dropping her sight to the water so she wouldn't meet his eyes.

A few moments of silence went by until God cleared his throat and spoke. “ You’re disgusted by me, aren't you?” He asked. I can imagine you think me to be a monster, as everyone does.

"I don't know you at all, so I can't make a judgment, your grace." She said,

Ken glanced deeply at the witch. “ Why did you sacrifice yourself for your friends? Don’t you know how stupid that was of you, giving your freedom up to me?"

Lizzie shook her head. “ They’re my friends. I love them. I would do anything to keep them safe, even if it means being your whore."

"You're not a whore. You're my queen behind closed doors as you requested." He rolled his eyes at the witch.

She lifted her gaze slightly pausing her other actions. "But to everyone else, I'm just like all the others. And besides I'm in love with MG. No matter how many times you sleep with me."

Ken grabbed her wrist tightly. “ Do you think he’ll love you still when he finds out about us?”

The heretic glared at him. “ He will understand that I’m only doing this to protect him and the rest of our friends and not for pleasure.

"I see." He responded dryly, staring down at her eyes.

Lizzie turned around. “ Could you please get out of the tub, so I can bathe in peace?”

He tilted his head to the side. "You know I can read your mind and I can show you into mine."

"And what of it?" She asked him snarky.

Ken leans forward whispering in her ear. "I can show you what you looked like in my mind last night. To show you that you're not as broken as you think you are."

Lizzie scoffed. “ If you think I was born yesterday, then you’re wrong. I am not like Aurora who you can easily manipulate to your will.

“ I don’t know how she fell for a guy like you.” She added.

“ Easy, I used my charms to seduce her off her feet to get what I want from her.” He replied. She was more than willing to help me kill your friend and almost did until changing her mind.

“ She betrayed me, got in my way.” He added. She was weak.

The young Saltzman turned around and looked him in the eyes. "No, she wasn't." She was just someone trying to find their way in the world, someone who had suffered too much grief. In the end, I guess my word affected her; she let go of the past and altered her ways.

He scoffed at her words. “ She was weak and foolish to betray me.” She could’ve been by my side still, I would’ve made her my queen and maybe one day marries her. But, Aurora showed her true colors that day on the field.

“ Oh please, you would’ve cast her aside once you got what you wanted for her.” Lizzie hissed. Like you have done to many women in the past.”

Ken grabbed her hands in his making her drop the sponge into the water forcing her to finally look him in the eye. “You said earlier that we don’t know each other. So you don’t know me and yet you judge my actions without even giving me a chance.”

“I’m stunned that you are offended by this.” She crossed her arms over her naked chest grabbing another sponge where she started washing her body. Her back was turned to him and he let silence fill the room to her surprise.

Ken watched her closely before he got out of the tub grabbed some clothes and went to find someone to help him with the frustrating witch he had in his home. If anything, maybe his daughter could aid him with some advice.

╧╤╧╤╧╤╧╤ - ╧╤╧╤╧╤╧╤

Speaking of Jen, she was in her warehouse preparing breakfast for her beau Levon. A few weeks had passed since her father and siblings had left. She couldn’t be happier to finally have them out of her life for good and move on.

She wanted to build a life with Levon, explore the world, and become an artist.

Jen was flipping pancakes on a skit enjoying the moment until someone spoke behind her. "Hello, daughter."

“ Dude, What are you doing here? I thought you went home." She gasped, spinning around on her feet.

Jen glanced at her father deeply. “ What do you want, I did everything you asked of me.

“ I came here for some advice,” Ken said.

The She-God crossed her arms over her chest. “ Can’t you ask your other children for yourself? Last time, I checked you said you didn’t want to see my disgraceful face anymore.

The god glared at his daughter. “ You betrayed me, daughter.

“If you came to threaten me then I am not in the mood to hear.” Jen hissed. "And, besides you’re the one who betrayed me first by exiling me all because you couldn’t accept I was."

Ken shook his head. “ You refuse to stand by our family, you choose to be weak. I don’t tolerate weakness."

Jen glared at her father having enough of his cruel words. “Get out. You will not come into my home and insult me."

"I'm not here to insult you. I am here seeking your advice. You once spent time with Elizabeth, did you not?” The god asked his daughter.

She shrugs her shoulders. “I guess so before I figured out she was really after Ben instead of wanting to be my friend. Why do you care about that?”

“Because I want Elizabeth to see the truth,” Ken responded, sighing heavily.

Jen glanced at her father confused. “ What are you talking about?” She suddenly began to put the pieces together and glanced at her father in disbelief. “ You’re sleeping with her aren’t you?”

He scoffed, raising his voice at her. “That isn’t important, daughter.”

“So you kidnapped her and now you magically want me to believe that you care about her.” She raised a brow.

He glared at her. “I didn’t kidnap her. She gave herself up to me so she could save her friends.”

“You’re unbelievable if you think that I believe that.” She shook her head about to walk away from him.

Ken was about to say something when he heard footsteps coming from upstairs. He tilted his head up and saw a naked man strolling downstairs walking towards his daughter.

The man pulled his daughter in for a kiss passionately grabbing her by the waist.

Jen pulled away from her boyfriend blushing. “ Levon put some clothes on, please. Levon nodded, rushing back upstairs. Jen followed her father to another room, once they were in the room The god exploded on his daughter.

“What in the gods are you thinking, Jen,” Ken yelled. “Letting a man have his hands all over you like that.”

“First off, he’s not some man I don’t know,” Jen answered. “He’s my boyfriend. I've been dating him for 2 years and living together with him for a few weeks.”

Ken shook his head wanting to laugh at his daughter’s foolishness. “He’s going to break your heart, you know. And when he does, you will know I was right years ago to keep you away from men.”

The She-God scoffed at her father’s words. “ You don’t know anything about our relationship. He’s a good guy who I love very much. Anyway, on to Lizzie if you’re trying to win her trust over, you should try to get to know her and not be too hard on her. Show her that you can change your ways. Most importantly don’t cheat on her with another woman, like you did with your mother. Overall, just try to be there for her and worship her like some princess.”

“Fine but if you’re wrong you know the boy's fate, daughter.” Ken finished the argument.

“ You’re not going to do a damn thing to him.” Jen hissed. "I won’t let you take him away from me, as you did mother."

He shook his head. “Your mother betrayed our family. Put you and your siblings in danger. I protect you all, you remember that.

With that, Ken walked out of the room leaving the warehouse and leaving his daughter to her thoughts.

Vampire Love-Legacies-Sebastian x OC Reader: Chapter 7: "Since When Did Wizard101 Become Real?"

Summary: It's Halloween at the Salvatore School and everyone's running a muck from the festivities. The search continues for Landon and Kenzie and Sebastian take a deeper dive / look into what their relationship could lead to.

(A/N: This is not, I repeat NOT a remake or copy of the Legacies season 2 episode, "This Christmas Was Surprisingly Violent" 02x8. This chapter / story is inspired by that episode. I hope you all enjoy this read :) )

It's just another ordinary morning before classes start at the groovy Salvatore School. I somehow woke up again bright and early and stepped out of my bed and tiptoed to the bedroom door and peeked my head out of the door to see what I could see.

I was hoping to see Sebastian possibly roaming the hallway but that wasn't the case this time. I didn't see him anywhere.

I hope he's alright and hopefully meet up with him later. Since it's still early, I went back to sleep for a little bit more.

A few hours later, my other sisters, Lizzie and Josie woke up before I did and must have let me stay asleep until I woke up for a second because my bedroom was empty, which is okay but it would have been nice to be aware of what was happening.

Anyways, A few hours later again, I'm woken up by Hope. She stormed through the door of my room, startling me awake but not too much. She took a few steps towards my bed and stopped walking.

"Kenzie!" She exclaimed, making me wake up completely and I dragged my body weight up a little in my bed so I'm sitting up right in my bed, facing Hope.

"Hey Hope! What's going on?" I raised my eyebrow in a curious way. She walked toward my bed and then sat down on my bed and hugged me.

"Oh thank goodness, you're not affected by the Halloween spirit like everyone else in the school is. They all think it's Halloween. And it doesn't help that the school's holding a Halloween party later tonight." I widened my eyes after hearing what Hope told me.

I got out of my bed and looked out my bedroom window to the outside world and gasped.

"It's Halloween? That's wild! How did this happen?" I glanced over at Hope who shrugged her shoulders casually.

"I don't know. Probably another monster?" I turned my body away from the window and began to walk towards my dresser drawer.

"This is terrible! It's freaking summer! Not fall. I have no idea what I'm going to wear. Who am I going to dress up as? I need my costume to be extravagant looking" I rambled on while looking through my clothes.

Hope giggled softly to herself. "Obviously you should wear something to travel in. I'm going to ask you for a small favor. Can you hit the road in a little bit, Kenzie?"

I turned my head to look at her and smirked.

"Let me guess, you want me to go out and have a search party for Landon, right?" Hope nodded her head.

"Why did he leave town? I thought the monsters didn't want him anymore." I asked curiously.

"I'm not sure. I have no idea why this is still happening. I just want Landon to be safe." I nodded my head and then I got up from my dresser and carried some of my clothes and sat next to Hope on my bed again.

"Fine. I know just the locator spell and off to Neverland I go. This better not make me miss the Halloween party tonight. You know how much I love parties." I raised my eyebrows at Hope, which made her giggle to herself.

"Thank you, Kenzie. And I think you'll be back in time before the party ends." I was going to say more to Hope but I was cut off by my two twin sisters who came into the room.

"Boo! Did we scare you?" Josie playfully asked as she and Lizzie smiled brightly at Hope and I. The two were dressed in Halloween themed outfits.

Josie was wearing this dark red velvety long sleeved shirt that was cut off to show the upper part where the shoulders are, and a black sparkling mini skirt with black tights to match and top it off with a cute witch hat headband.

Lizzie was wearing an outfit that was a fancy red long sleeved mini dress with some black sparkling tights and a witch hat headband too.

I thought both of their outfits looked gorgeous and stunning. Really suited the Halloween spirit for sure.

My outfit that I wore and was probably going to wear at the Halloween party, which was this Little Red Riding Hood / Allison from Hocus Pocus inspired outfit.

A classic and classy red cape like jacket that had a hood attached to it. And underneath it, I decided to wear / put on a purple long sleeve shirt and a flowy plaid skirt, with tan skin toned tights and my favorite pair of combat boots. I really liked it.

"Wow! Great outfits you two! Really feeling the Halloween spirit I see" Hope exclaimed with a smile on her face, making both Liz and Jo smile even more brightly at Hope and I.

"Thank you, Hope! We really want to embrace the Halloween spirit by showing off our style." Josie said with excitement in her voice and Lizzie nodded her head in agreement and smiled more at us.

"Don't worry, we won't scare you two today." Josie nodded her head in agreement immediately after Lizzie spoke.

"Especially like this" She then raised up her arm/ hand and snapped her fingers and immediately her eyes turned a dark black color and these dark black and red spider like lines appeared and covered the corners of and all around her face.

It was the black magic in her body still. I wasn't expecting to see her make that sudden switch. I widened my eyes and jumped back a little bit, as did Hope too.

"Oh my gosh, Jo! Are you O..." I began to ask Josie with concern in my voice but then she snapped her fingers again and all of a sudden, her black magic was gone.

It really was like magic and it kind of freaked me out.

Lizzie and Josie began to giggle more and they then pulled out some candy out of their bags that they had and showed them out to us.

"Would the two of you like some candy?" Man whatever trance that my two twin sisters are under seems really odd.

It's making everything that they're doing seem stranger than usual. They asked us with a smile that seemed a bit too big for them but Hope and I seemed to ignore it.

Hope leaned towards me from behind and whispered to me.

"You might want to leave now! Go! Run!" I nodded my head in agreement and got off my bed and quickly grabbed a piece of candy from my twin sisters and then proceeded to leave the room and start my search for Landon.

Hope smiled awkwardly and looked at Lizzie and Josie. "What kind of candy?" She asked.

With that being said, Hope somehow got my twin sisters to snap out of their weird Halloween trance and got them to help us (Her and I) to find Landon.

Hope explained everything to them and they agreed to help. However, Josie wanted to stay behind to get ready for the party with the others, which was okay.

That just left Hope and Lizzie. They got into a car and before they left, Hope did a locator spell to track where Landon was,which was the same locator spell that I had in mind too,and then the two began to drive off.

I was in my car by myself and waited for Hope to lead the way to Landon. She led the way and I followed. I hope this adventure is quick and that there will be no complications or obstacles along the way.

What's the worst that could happen? Hope texted me a few minutes after completing the locator spell.

Hope: Hey Kenzie! Found where Landon is. Wandering the forest nearby the school. Not sure what he's doing there. Follow me and Lizzie now! See you soon!

I read her text and nodded my head in agreement and told her that I would do everything that she asked me to.

I then put my phone in the cubby of the car and continued to follow behind Hope as the drive continued more. The drive to find Landon began.

Now,this might be my vampire senses kicking in but somehow I can feel Landon's energy and I can hear his thoughts.

He wants to relocate himself from the wildness of being a supernatural at the school. He wants a break from it, so taking a long walk in the woods to get his mind off things.

Hey, you do what you gotta do right? I don't blame Landon for his actions. I'd do the same thing if I was in his shoes.

The drive to find Landon continued for a little bit longer. It felt like I've been driving forever. Hope kept me updated on Landon's moves and how close we were to reaching him.

She told me that Lizzie and her were going to get more gas for the car that they were driving. I agreed to wait for them to fuel their car up as we pulled into a gas station near town.

When we got there, Hope and Lizzie got out of their car, Hope filled the car up with gas and Lizzie wanted to get some snacks for the road.

I wanted to get some snacks too and wanted to keep my sister and best friend company, so I followed her into the building. Lizzie and I picked out some snacks that we wanted and then bought them.

After we bought everything, we stepped outside of the building and began walking back to our cars.

"Ooh hey so you're Sebastian. Kenzie has said a lot about you. It's nice to finally meet you" My vampire hearing picked up that sentence from Hope.

I stopped dead in my tracks. I wasn't expecting to find Sebastian talking to Hope. How in the world did he find me?

Was he stalking me? Lizzie stopped with me and turned her head to look at me and figure out why I stopped walking.

It didn't take her long to figure out why. She gently rested her hand on my shoulder and whispered.

"Hey, Kenz are you okay?" She then looked up and saw who Hope was talking to and it was Sebastian. He was leaning against the car that Hope and Lizzie drove in, talking a little bit with Hope.

Hope had a smile on her face while listening to everything that Sebastian was talking about. I continued to stand still for a few minutes more.

Lizzie gently held my hand, kneeled down towards my height, and that took me out of my overwhelming state and whispered more.

"Everything's going to be okay. Do you think you'll be able to handle the mission with him here?"

Quick recap!

After that night when Sebastian and MG met again and told him his sneaky plan to turn me into the greatest and powerful heretic ever, I somehow found out about his plan and it caused me to get upset.

Yeah, it's cool and kind of sweet that he wants me to be turned into something with an unlimited amount of power, but a process of doing a spell like that takes a lot to complete and the side effects of doing that spell is mainly death and the possibility of losing one of your supernatural sides.

It wouldn't be cool or fun to die from a spell like that. I really hope that Sebastian understands that risk. If he loves me all this much, he wouldn't do something this extreme like this. Right?

After I found out everything that was planned, I immediately told my twin sisters. They were so surprised and didn't want Sebastian to go on with doing that,especially Lizzie.

She begged MG to get Sebastian to stop but it was too late. MG told Lizzie that Sebastian was ready to go with the plan and that he was too far away to contact.

Why do I find that so hard to believe? So here we are.

Unable to stop Sebastian from what he has planned. Snapping back into reality, staring back at him and Hope. I took a deep breath and then looked at Lizzie.

I nodded my head at her and smiled softly at her. She smiled at me and continued to hold my hand as I did too.

"Do you want to ride with Hope in her car the rest of the way? I want you to feel as safe as possible. I'd be happy to drive in your car if you want me to, Kenzie" Lizzie whispered / asked as she continued to smile at me.

I smiled back at her. I nodded my head in agreement.

"Yes, I think I'll be okay, Lizzie. You don't have to worry. You can continue going with Hope if you want. I can handle it all" I winked at her and she nodded her head and then we both stood up straight and began to walk towards Hope and Sebastian.

As soon as we got closer and closer to them, Sebastian and Hope turned their attention to Lizzie and I and Sebastian hopped off the car and smirked at me which caused me to start to feel the love emotions again.

Girl, relax! You're supposed to be mad at him, not falling more in love with him. After seeing him smirk at me, I smiled softly but that smile I had seemed to have blush all over it because I could feel my cheeks burning a little bit from blushing.

"Hello, Elizabeth! Hello, Mackenzie! Fancy seeing you here"

"Sebastian? What are you doing here? How did you find me?" I asked in an irritated but relaxed tone of voice. Sebastian continued to smirk and Hope smiled to herself. Lizzie still had a small surprised look on her face as she looked at me as I started to talk to Sebastian again.

"I wanted to see you again. I think I owe you an apology, Mackenzie." Sebastian softly explained as he hopped off the car and took a few steps in front of me.

Hearing what he said made me feel more relaxed. I think he's starting to realize everything that he did and what he wants to do is wrong. I look at him as I smile softly. I also take a few steps towards him too.

Leaving Lizzie and Hope right where they were at. "Oh Sebby. It's..."

"Kenzie! Sebastian! Why don't you two save the cute and sappy stuff for later. We have to get back on track and find Landon, remember?" Hope cut me off. I playfully rolled my eyes and shook my head and Sebastian chuckled to himself.

I looked forward at Hope and nodded my head and then looked back at Lizzie, who shrugged her shoulders and giggled.

I giggled too and she began to walk to the car that she and Hope were driving in and Hope proceeded to walk back to the drivers side of the car.

She stood in front of the car door and looked at Lizzie and I.

"Lizzie, you continue riding with me in this car. Kenzie, you continue following my lead in the other car. Sebastian's more than welcome to ride with you if that's okay with you of course." Lizzie and I agreed.

We nodded our heads in agreement and Lizzie got in the passenger seat. After I nodded my head at Hope, I glanced over at Sebastian and smirked at him as he slowly nodded his head as well.

"Why of course! I love a good adventure with a little challenge." I confidently spoke while still keeping my eye contact with Sebastian as he did the same with me. Hope quickly nodded her head and then opened her car door.

She briefly explained that I needed to follow her as we continued to search for Landon. I agreed and she proceeded to get into the driver's seat. Lizzie waved to me before I walked back to my car. I waved back to her and Hope as well and then walked to my car.

I could feel myself blush more and more each time I got closer to Sebastian. Him and I both got in my car and with that, we followed Hope and Lizzie on the continuous long car ride search for Landon.

Now Seb, no funny business! I'm watching you.

The car ride search lasted for what seemed to be a long time. It might have also felt like a long ride because my crush but current enemy is sitting right next to me in the car and being in a car with someone who you don't like isn't the definition of fun.

Okay, okay I know what you're thinking...

"Kenzie! How can you hate Sebastain? It's not like he's done anything wrong. He loves you" And you're right because I don't actually hate him and I don't want to seem like I do because I love him too and everything that we almost have with each other, if you get my meaning. But he knows what he wants to do to me, yeah it's cute and all but dangerous and that can't be trusted.

Silence was heard for a majority of the time of the car ride. That is until Sebastian decided to annoy me by making me talk first, which he wants me to do.

He kept doing little things in the car like playing with the window switches next to him for a few minutes and then he started touching and messing around with the radio switches, which don't really work because this car is really old.

I notice and see everything that he's doing and it makes me giggle softly to myself even though I shouldn't be giggling. I can feel him smirk at me each time I giggle.

I then gently hold his hand and gently remove his hand from the radio switches.

"Can you pretty please literally stop pushing my buttons?" I asked in an annoyed tone of voice.

"There we go! I finally got her to speak. I'm sorry but all of this modern machinery really fascinates me." Sebastian cutely explained but I immediately shook my head no, still trying to be in my annoyed state.

"That's cute and all but this car is older than dirt. It was a present that a family member gave Lizzie, Josie, and I for our sweet sixteen." Sebastian nodded his head and proceeded to talk more.

"Ooh that's nice. Do you think we'll be able to stop for food? I haven't had a proper meal at all yet." I smiled softly and then looked behind me for a brief moment and then back on the road.

"We have snacks here if you want any of them. Besides, I thought you old timey vampires like you only ate and fed on animals?" And also, you should have eaten before you found me."

"You know, you're a bright girl but yet somehow you still manage to confound me, Mackenzie. I should also point out that the daylight necklace you made me really seemed like you just wanted me around all the time and for us to spend time together within the liking of your school." Sebastian smirked at me again and looked at me as I continued to drive / keep my eyes on the road.

I smiled after hearing what he said. "Mmm, really? Let's just say that you're here because you're one of the least annoying people I know who I enjoy having company with." I glanced at him and then winked.

Sebastian chuckled to himself and smiled.

"Well, we both know that's partially true." I raised my eyebrow and saw that Sebastian was looking at me and shifted his position in his seat for a second.

"I'm here because you fancy me. It's clearly obvious." I widened my eyes and became speechless.

I didn't know what to do but slammed the car breaks and stopped driving. Slamming on the breaks, made Sebastian and I lean forward, Sebastian more than me.

When the car stopped, Sebastian slowly leaned back in his seat and ran his hand through his hair. "What on earth was that for, Mackenzie?"

I sat back in my seat and looked back at him with surprise. "I'm sorry. I saw some deer back there. If you're still hungry, I suggest you go feed on one of them instead of stating surprising assumptions like that again"

Sebastian smiled at me again and chuckled. "I apologize about that. It won't happen again. Please, let's continue the search for your friend."

I slowly nodded my head in agreement to what he said and we continued to drive more again.

"That's okay. You're starting to pass these tests and starting to get on my good side again." I winked at him and put my eyes back on the road again. Sebastian smiled once more and the ride carried on from there.

Meanwhile, back at school, the students were still getting ready to prepare for the party in a couple of hours. Josie again took charge and helped everyone get ready.

After hours of putting the party room together, the Salvatore School was officially decked out with Halloween themed decorations and that gave everyone free time to scatter and do whatever they wanted before the party started.

Josie was walking through the quiet library area in the school by herself. Everything was fine only until Josie heard a rustling and tapping noise coming from straight ahead in the library.

At first she thought it was some students playing a prank on her. She giggled to herself and shook her head in a playful way, walking towards where the noise was coming from.

"Okay guys, very funny! But the party's going to be in Salvatore Hall. Save the pranks and games for the party" By the time Josie got to where she thought the students were, she stopped in her tracks and widened her eyes as she slowly looked up at the tall, dark, Halloween themed monster.

It has a pumpkin as a head and its body is made of sticks, branches, and trees all combined in one.

On its shoulder, it has a crow that seemed to be like its pet or something.

This pumpkin Halloween monster was standing a few feet in front of her. Josie slowly backed away from the monster and ran back to her room and locked the door.

When Josie made it safely to her room, she immediately called Hope and told her everything that was happening.

Josie calmly explained to Hope on the phone about the pumpkin monster that she saw roaming the school and that she thinks that it's here to cause mischief in the school.

Hence why it's Halloween right now when it shouldn't be. Hope couldn't believe what she was hearing but remained calm.

She told Josie to stay where she's at and wait for her and Lizzie to come back to the school to help her and everyone take care of the monster.

Josie agreed and then ended the call with Hope and then Hope explained everything that was happening to Lizzie which caused her to be surprised, especially about Josie.

They might seem like they don't get along or love each other but they do. Trust me. I know because I'm their little sister and that's how siblings act with each other at times.

I'd say that it's pretty normal.

Lizzie cares about Josie and I equally and I do too. I love them both so much and would take a bullet for them no matter what.

"Whatever we do, we must be back in time to save Josie. I don't want anything to happen to her or Kenzie. Please tell me that's what we're going to do, Hope." Lizzie said seriously and Hope nodded her head yes.

"Don't worry, Lizzie. Your sisters are going to be okay. We are turning this car around and heading back to the school to save everyone. Sorry, Landon. I love you but fighting off this monster is most important right now. The Landon search party is on pause. We have a school to save." Hope confiendelty said and with that, she did a U turn and drove the car as fast as she could back to the Salvatore school.

They arrived back at the school and quickly got out of the car and ran into the school and went to the Halloween party room and surprisingly the party had already begun.

Guests were slowly packing in. Some in halloween costumes, so just in regular outfits.

People all around were chit chatting and having a good time with each other, that is until Hope and Lizzie came running through.

"I need everyone's attention. The school might be in danger. A Harvest Lord was spotted in the main library a while ago. We need to evacuate until we kill it. Now everyone, please follow Lizzie where she'll lead you to a shelter." Hope exclaimed.

Causing everyone to stop what they were doing and look at her. They thought she had too much candy and that it was a prank for the Halloween party.

Quick note!

Kenzie here from the future! Josie made a great escape out of her room without the Harvest Lord could notice and ran and blended with the halloween party students / guests. She's perfectly safe and that's how she got here.

Wanted to clear you guys up to date with that.

Rolling on with the story and Hope. No one moved and just proceeded with the party. Hope turned her head to face Lizzie and they both rolled their eyes in annoyance from everyone and then turned back to face everyone.

Hope did a spell to herself and suddenly a loud popping exploding sound was heard coming from one side of the halloween party room and that caused people to freak out and scream a little. Not expecting that to happen.

Everyone was surprised and their attention was on Hope.

"Now that I have your attention. I want you all to know that Halloween is a made-up holiday. It was invented by a candy company. You're all acting like a bunch of children who need to grow up."

Silence was heard for a moment until my dad, Alaric stepped through the party scene and agreed to what Hope said. Kaleb, Josie, Dorian, and my dad stood next to each other as did the other guests and students who were at the party waited for instructions on what to do next.

"Hope's right. We need to be serious and buckle down. Saving and protecting this school is just what we're going to do. Josie, Kaleb. I need you two to come with me and everyone else to stay right where you are here. And someone hand me my famous crossbow." Everyone agreed to what my dad said and someone handed my dad his crossbow.

The battle was soon to begin.

Little did we know, or anyone in the school knew that Clarke somehow found a way to sneak in the school without anyone seeing. He was in the library where the Harvest Lord was earlier.

Clarke walked and stood in front of a fireplace that was in the library and then proceeded to take his coat off and tossed it into the fire and within moments, that made this black smoke appear all over the room and then Clarke took a few steps back as he watched the Harvest Lord take its form as the monster grew taller and taller.

The Harvest Lord reappeared. Clarke chuckled and nodded his head as he walked towards the pumpkin monster.

"Happy Halloween, pumpkin king. Now go and destroy the Salvatore school." He spoke with a devilish grin on his face.

The pumpkin monster agreed and slowly began to move to where the party guests were for the party. He proceeded to walk out of the room and then stopped for a moment and looked back at Clarke. Clarke raised an eyebrow and asked what he was doing.

Without warning, the pumpkin king had ordered his pet crow to fly and attacked Clarke, he grunted and begged the monster to stop and have his pet crow get off him.

Nothing.

The attack continued to go on for a few seconds later until the library door swung open and in walked Hope.

She widened her eyes a little and continued to walk more into the library.

"You must be the Harvest Lord. Mittent." Hope spelled the pumpkin monster that made it fly backwards into the air, hitting a wall and falling to the ground, leaving the monster stunned but only for a few seconds.

"I'm Hope and I find this Halloween season spookier than it usually is." Hope explained to the pumpkin monster as she proceeded to walk towards it but Clarke stopped her.

The Harvest Lord, of course, got back on his feet real quick. Typical evil monster battle move. It looked like Hope and Clarke were on the same side.

They both stood confidently in a battle stance getting ready to defeat the Harvest Lord but then all of a sudden, the pumpkin creature was slowly but quickly on the move. He disappeared out of the library and into the school's hallway, leaving Hope and Clarke worried about what was going to happen next.

Hope threw her hands in the air. "Crap! This monster is fast! I need to stop him before he causes more destruction."

Hope quickly exclaimed before quickly walking out of the room only until being stopped by Clarke.

"Wait! Why don't we put our differences aside for now and I can help you take down the Harvest Lord. I had no idea that the monster was going to turn its back on me. This isn't the first time a monster from Malivore has done that to me and I'm sure it won't be the last. I think we can be a good team."

Hope looked at Clarke and didn't really trust what he was saying but there wasn't much time. She nodded her head in agreement. "Alright. Come on, let's give that a try." She quickly stated and quickly walked out of the room as Clarke followed her from behind.

Jumping back to where Landon is. He found himself in an old but still sturdy abandoned cabin in the woods and actually managed to get himself comfortable and settled there for the entire rest of the day.

He spent the majority of the time just writing about everything that was happening to him recently in his life, and how he wishes it was different for him.

But by spending time alone with himself, he has started to gradually accept the truth of what he is and is okay with it all.

Time is going by so fast because it's getting darker outside now and the Halloween party seemed to be on pause due to the battle but would soon be getting started again.

Landon was ready to come back to the school and just be him and live his life with Hope. He closed his notebook, packed up his belongings and prepared to walk out of the cabin and head back to the school.

Finally, the long car ride came to a conclusion as I pulled into the mini driveway where the cabin was a few feet away.

My car headlights were shining bright as a dark shadow blocked the light. The shadow came closer and closer to my car and it was revealed to be Landon. I parked the car and rolled down the driver's seat window and peeked my head out of the window, letting Landon see me, which he was surprised to see me.

"Landon! Wow! What a coincidence! I'm so glad I found you. Come on! Hop in! There's not much time to explain what's going on" I called out to him as he walked and stopped when he finally reached the car door's window.

"Kenzie? What are you doing here?"

"Keep talking and I'll show you a much darker world than Neverland myself." I confidently spoke as Landon widened his eyes after hearing what I said.

The good old scaring tactics never fail tee hee. That's my speciality at its finest :)

Oh yeah! Remember Sebastian?

Well, he was with me in the car for the rest of the car ride with me, until the very last minute because as I was pulling into the cabin area where Landon was, all that Sebastian said was...

"I'll be right back, Mackenzie. See you soon" I widened my eyes a little bit and waved my hand out to get him to stop and stay with me and then poof!

He was gone! "Wait! Sebby!" I shouted but it was too late because he was gone before he could hear me. I was afraid he was ditching me or something. I wanted him back!

So, unfortunately it's just me in the car by myself now.

Back at the school, the party room was dark and no one was in sight. The black smoke appeared again in the party room and low and behold, the Harvest Lord was back.

Lurking around the room. He thought he was the only one in the room but he was mistaken. The party guests / students, including my sisters Josie and Lizzie and Kaleb hid behind the walls of the party room and were getting ready to attack the Harvest Lord.

Josie did a spell that made the lights turn on / the decorations and everything else that was off, which made the Harvest Lord stop walking and pay attention to its surroundings and before it knew it, he was surrounded by everyone in the room and was trapped by Kaleb who used Halloween lights as a trap and tied them around him, making him unable to move.

The Harvest Lord made a screeching sound and then my dad used his crossbow and shot the pumpkin monster straight in its heart.

Or so they thought. Dorian smiled and then pointed straight ahead at the creature as it fell down to the ground.

"You did it! The arrow right through its heart. That's how you kill the Harvest Lord." Everyone cheered, except for Hope and Lizzie as they both stepped through the crowd of people in the party room.

They knew the monster wasn't dead. "This looks like a time to celebrate! Who wants candy?" My dad Alaric said to everyone around him as Dorian laughed and then began to pass out candy to everyone who wanted some.

Hope and Lizzie were both confused as they looked at each other as the Halloween party festivities continued. They knew that the Harvest Lord wasn't dead. They had to put an end to this.

"Why are you still in the Halloween spirit? If the monster's dead, then why hasn't the Halloween party ended?" Hope questioned as Lizzie nodded her head.

My dad heard what Hope asked and began to realize that she was right. He handed Dorian the candy that he had in his hands.

Everyone began to notice as well and then a rustling noise was heard from right where the pumpkin king was laying on the ground in the party room. Everyone watched where the noise was coming from and then all of a sudden a wizard was wearing a pointed red and yellow wizarding hat and his clothing was this red and yellow and orange long robe that went down to his knees.

In his hand, he was holding his wizarding wand. Pretty cool if you ask me, even though I wasn't present hahaha.

"Hi! I'm Simon. A fire school wizard that can use my power to take down any enemy using my fire powers. I can help you guys take down the Harvest Lord. Especially, on the scariest but fun-est time of the year, which is Halloween." Simon introduced and everyone agreed and wanted his help. Hope was down to having Simon's help. Everyone was really interested in Simon.

"Since when did Wizard101 become real?" Kaleb whispered to Josie. She giggled and shrugged her shoulders because she had no idea how to respond to that. All of a sudden, a screeching noise was heard which made everyone gasp. The Harvest Lord stood up and stood behind Simon.

"Simon! Behind you!" Hope shouted which made Simon turn around to face the pumpkin creature. "Because of you! This Halloween is much scarier than it needs to be." Just then, the Harvest Lord raised his arms up and was able to snap and break the halloween light decoration trap that was tied around him. Everyone got in their battle stances.

The Harvest Lord pulled the arrow that my dad shot at him out of his chest and threw it on the ground.

"Dang it! I thought I killed that monster already?" My dad asked out loud. The good wizard shot his arm up behind him, silencing my dad to not talk anymore.

"Don't blame yourself for missing, Dr. Saltzman. The Harvest Lord has a very small heart. This is my fight. I can take him." Simon stood a few feet in front of the pumpkin creature and bent his arms up a little as well as his legs in a battle stance too and held out his wizarding wand out in front of him.

Showing the monster that he was ready to fight.

"I didn't see this coming. Looks like this battle's personal you guys." My dad said as everyone, including Kaleb, Dorian, Lizzie, Josie, and Hope nodded their heads and continued to watch the confrontation between Simon and the Harvest Lord.

"Be prepared to meet your doom. Again Harvest Lord. Happy Halloween!" Simon said to the Harvest Lord and then used his wand to hit / punch the pumpkin creature in the face, causing him to fall to the ground again.

Back to me, I was still trying to convince Landon to come back with me and go back to Hope and the way things were.

"I don't understand why you left Hope and us behind without telling any of us."

"I needed an escape from the monsters. I also needed a place to feel safe, even if it was for a few minutes." Landon admitted and that made me nod my head. I crossed my arms and continued to look at him.

"Interesting. What's your plan now, Peter Pan?. Continue to run away and never return?"

"My only plan is to make sure that I'm not in the way of the others and protect them to stay safe at the school. I'm scared, as much as I hate to admit that but I am. But I am slowly feeling ready to face them and to not be afraid of them anymore." Landon softly spoke as I continued to listen to him.

There was silence for a few seconds, until I decided to speak.

"Come back to the School with me. There, you'll be with Hope and she can help you figure out what to do next. You'll be the safest with her. We all will help you. What do you say?"

There was silence for about another second and it looked like Landon was going to say something but then a loud snapping noise was heard coming from behind Landon, which made him grunt a little and then fell to the ground. It was revealed to be Sebastian who snapped Landon's neck.

Almost killing him. He wasn't dead, just unstable. I gasped and widened my eyes after seeing everything that happened right in front of me.

Once Landon fell, Sebastian looked at me as I did at him. "What on earth do you think you're doing?" I strongly asked Sebastian.

"I say you two talk entirely way too much when action is required. Forget about Landon and let's go back to the Halloween party. I know it'll be much more fun than here. What do you say, Mackenzie? Hmm?" Sebastian softly spoke and then raised his eyebrow at me after asking his question. I puckered my lips in an annoying way as I continued to look at Sebastian.

I then tilted my head.

"Alright. But we can't just ditch Landon. We have to take him back. At least help me get him in the car, Seb." Sebastian smiled softly and nodded his head in agreement and he began to walk towards Landon's body and me a little bit and bent down to pick up Landon's body and we both carried him and put him in the trunk of the car.

Don't worry, he's a Phoenix and can breathe anywhere.

After that, I stepped back and continued to look at Sebastian more. "Also, do you care to explain where the heck you went earlier?" I asked curiously as I crossed my arms.

Jumping back to the school, the Harvest Lord and Simon continued their battle against each other for the remainder of the time as everyone, including my dad, Dorian, Lizzie, Josie, Kaleb, and Hope watched.

Telling Simon to be careful when he had his back turned to the Harvest Lord. The two used spell cards from their game Wizard101 at each other but as time went on, the Harvest Lord seemed to be winning.

One powerful spell that the pumpkin monster did and caused the good wizard to get knocked down and was down for a few minutes. The Harvest Lord took a few steps towards Simon and stopped and glanced up as he heard Hope shout to Simon.

"Simon! Use this!" Hope tossed a fire elf spell to Simon and he caught it and immediately used it on the Harvest Lord.

A jumping fire elf appeared and spun circles around the pumpkin creature at a really fast speed and fire surrounded the pumpkin monster.

The Harvest Lord was defeated, the fire elf spell worked. After the spell was used, Simon ran up to the pumpkin monster and using his magic wand, he sliced open his chest and pulled out his heart and then showed everyone which made them all cheer.

"See? Very small heart no doubt about that." Simon said as he chuckled to everyone. My dad, Dorian, Kaleb, and Lizzie all clapped their hands and Josie and Hope stood there in happy shock but disgust because they didn't like the guts and stuff from the Harvest Lord.

All in all, everyone was happy.

Going back to the wonderful time Sebastian and I were having haha. I decided to lay down on top of the hood of the car, as Sebastian was getting out of tools to fix a car from the back part/ seat of the car, and kneeled down in front of the tire right below where I was and started to try and mend the car.

Even though the car was perfectly fine. I looked down at him and raised my eyebrow.

"What are you doing? Are you trying to impress me by looking like you can mend my car when it doesn't need fixing?"

Sebastian looked up at me and chuckled. "Ooh well then I guess that settles that. You've always wanted me to impress you"

"Mmm, yeah I'd say that's partially true. More like the other way around. I've been trying to impress you." I confidently spoke which made Sebastian smirk and I can even see a tint of blush covering his face a little.

Seeing that made me blush a lot but I managed to keep my cool.

"Well, I guessed it when I was riding in the car with you,and it seemed like that plan of yours has and is working. You definitely have been impressing me." Sebastian smiled and then continued to mess around with the tools for the car.

I also smiled after hearing what he said and then rotated my body, laying on my stomach while still being on the car, facing Sebastian.

As this was happening, Sebastian stood up and touched the top of his shirt and grabbed it and pulled it off of him.

Seeing him take his shirt off was the most surprising thing that I've ever seen him do since I've met him. I wasn't expecting him to do that but I liked where it was going.

All I ask is that he keep his pants on. Hear me out! It's dark, cold, and we're outside. No one needs to see that outside, we'll only and maybe me but I'm getting ahead of myself.

Anyway, back to the story! Focus Kenzie!

Seeing Sebastian with his shirt off made my heart beat super fast and the blush appeared once again on my face. I could tell that he noticed, after all he can hear my heartbeat and I could hear his, we're both vampire's. It's what we do :)

"What are you doing with your shirt off? You should probably put it back on."

"Now why would I do that when we both know that you like what you're seeing?" Sebastian smirked at me once again. Hearing what he asked made me blush even more. I was tongue tied and speechless.

I couldn't believe what he asked me.

I completely ignored his question and tried to switch the subject. "Do you think you'll be able to handle being a student at the school? And you should probably lay off of calling my friends vegetable nicknames."

Sebastian raised his eyebrow and then pointed his hand while holding a car tool. Putting it back into the floor part in the car.

"Oh you mean turnips! Which they are" I rolled my eyes in a playful way after hearing what he said and then sat up straight on the hood of the car and looked over at Sebastian, who was standing in front of the car.

He looked at me and stood behind the car while still looking at me.

"Well, whatever vegetable that you think they are, they probably won't like you if you continue with that. No one will." I looked at him with an annoyed look on my face as he chuckled softly which made my ears melt from cuteness every time I heard him giggle.

"Everyone except for you, Mackenzie. You fancy me. It's become clearly obvious that you do" Sebastian tilted his head and raised his eyebrow again.

I shook my head in disagreement, even though he was right. I wanted to continue my mean ego for a little bit longer.

"For the last time, I don't fancy you. How could I fancy someone all this time who made me think that I was crazy?"I admittedly asked him and kind of regretted that because I realized how mean that was and I didn't want him to hate me.

But surprisingly enough and thank goodness, he was okay and didn't seem to be bothered by what I said. He puckered his lips, looking like he was in deep thinking mode.

"Well perhaps we both are. There's nothing wrong with that. We could be a crazy good couple, Mackenzie. For one thing, I fancy you." He looked at me and I was surprised to hear him say that he fancies me.

The love effects were getting stronger each time but I had to keep my cool still. There was a silence again as we both looked at each other more. I looked at the ground for a moment and then back at him.

"Did those lines work back in your decade?" I asked curiously as I saw Sebastian was quick to respond by nodding his head in agreement after hearing what I asked.

"Yes they did. As did my abdominal and bicep muscles, but that's not important. What is important is that everything that I'm doing is working now"

Not going to lie, I found everything that Sebastian just said to be extremely cute. Man, this guy is a major flirt and I'm loving every moment of it.

To be even more of a prankster, I decided to tease him and see what he was going to do. I shook my head in disagreement.

"No it isn't" I smirked. Sebastian was even more quick to respond. His voice was relaxed as he spoke.

"Mmm,'tis" I raised my eyebrow at him and continued going on more.

"Oh my gosh! 'Tis not!"

"Tis" Sebastian giggled. He could sense that I was getting aggravated when I really wasn't and kept it going for a few seconds longer.

Each time I responded, I sounded annoyed but that was the point.

"Tis not, for the one final time" There was a pause. Sebastian widened his eyes a little and turned away from me and I thought that was the end but oh no, I was wrong.

Sebastian looked up at the sky and whispered,

"Tis" thinking that I didn't hear him but I did. I giggled from annoyance and hopped off the car and faced Sebastian. I took a step towards him.

"You're such a goofball. Come on, put your shirt back on" Sebastian smirked romantically at me which made me die from cuteness and the love effects.

He didn't say anything. I playfully rolled my eyes and walked even closer to him, grabbing his hand and walking forward to start to get into the car.

Sebastian gently stopped me and spun me around and when my back was facing the car and my front facing him, Sebastian gently pinned me to the car and leaned towards my neck and laid a kiss. Which turned to him leaving a trail of soft kisses on my neck.

I wasn't expecting him to start doing that but I loved it and didn't want him to stop. I gently placed my hands on top of his arms and trailed my thumbs up and down the space on his skin on his arms a little bit.

Sebastian pulled away from my neck a bit and whispered near my ear.

"Is this okay, Mackenzie?" I blushed while smiling brightly at him. I nodded my head in agreement and whispered back to him.

"Yes. You can go the distance as much as you want too. I'm ready, Sebby." I could feel Sebastian's smile on my neck and nodded his head in agreement again.

With that, his lips touched mine and we softly and passionately kissed each other which made my heart flutter, faster than a butterfly flapping its wings.

As the kiss continued, Sebastian gently rested his hand on my cheek and I also touched his face with my hands gently too. We deepened the kiss which I head over heels for. I didn't want this to end.

Sebastian then pulled away from the kiss first and gently pulled me off the car and slid his hands on the sides of my hips and whispered,

"Jump up" I nodded my head and jumped up and wrapped my legs around his waist as he lifted me up in the air and a whooshing sound was heard and that was because Sebastian used his vamp speed to make me more comfortable during our spicy, romantical moment.

He moved us to the center front of the car and laid me back facing the car again and hovered over me as we giggled at each other. I ran my hand through his hair as we continued to kiss each other passionately some more.

Also, as we were kissing, Sebastian lifted me back up for a moment and helped me take off my jacket, which I allowed him to do and soon his grip / hold on me was back.

Speaking of, Sebastian's hold on me was strong and it made me feel safe. I trailed my hands across his back and gently rubbed his back up and down slowly a few times, which I knew that he was enjoying as was I with him too.

I would continue telling you more about this moment between him and I, but it's too good to share. There's more action going on at the Halloween party, go there! I'll catch up with you later. (A/N: I can't write smut so what I have and what you just read is as close to that. I hope it's still good)

The Halloween party is in full swing and everyone is having a wonderful time. Hope met back up with Clarke and the two talked about things.

They both told each other that they don't actually hate one another and that they should continue to move forward on good terms.

"The fog that covered the atmosphere everywhere earlier and the smell of fall fire wood seems to be gone. I'm guessing the Harvest Lord is dead" Clarke pointed out as Hope nodded her head.

"That's right. Simon came in and saved the day by killing the pumpkin monster." Clarke nodded his head and looked down at the ground.

"Before I leave, I just want to say that I don't hate you and that I wish we can remain on good terms for as long as possible."

"I think we can agree on that. And I don't hate you either. You know, nothing's too small if you believe in it." Hope smiled softly and Clarke nodded his head again and looked up at Hope once more.

"Happy Halloween, Hope."

"Happy Halloween, Clarke!" And with that, the two waved to each other and went their separate ways. Hope went back to the Halloween party and joined back up with my two twin sisters.

As for me, I just finished a very steamy and romantic love session with my hopefully soon to be vampire boyfriend, Sebastian. We're both in the car, I'm sitting in his lap as he's comforting me.

"I am glad that you finally accepted the truth. You fancy me very much indeed" Sebastian softly spoke to me as I smiled and blushed.

I nodded my head.

"Actually, I've fancied you from the first day that we met. Back at the Old Mill." I winked at him and he smirked at me which made me blush even more.

"How much / how badly do you want me to stay at the school? Have our hookups already given you an answer?"Sebastian softly asked me as curiosity beamed through his eyes while looking into mine.

"Besides hooking up with you, you make me feel safe. Even more safe than how I feel when I'm with my family. I want your protection and love and kindness with me 24/7. Being with you is why I want you to stay at the school." I replied to him as he smiled down at me again.

"Ah, you're too kind.I feel the same way too. I should mention that I have nowhere else that I would and could go where I feel welcomed. The Salvatore School is the kindest place that I have ever been and stepped foot in." Sebastian softly spoke in a soothing voice.

Hearing everything that Sebastian was filling my heart up with a lot of emotions. Good ones mainly. His story, the way he talked, his amazing accent, what he's been through has and was winning my heart all over again.

Hearing his story caused me to tear up because I found myself wiping away a tear from my face. I guess you could say that I was falling madly in love with this guy all over again.

"I can't imagine my life without you, Mackenzie. You're the best thing that's ever happened to me. That's why I want to stay here. Mackenzie Saltzman, will you have me? Will you be my girlfriend?" Sebastian softly asked.

I couldn't stop blushing and as soon as I heard the question that he asked, I shifted my body off of him and sat up a little bit while still sitting in his lap.

I gasped softly and covered my mouth with my hand for a second. I could see Sebastian smile which made me smile too.

I uncovered my mouth and squealed softly while nodding my head quickly.

"Oh my gosh! Yes! A thousand percent yes! I'll be your girlfriend, Sebastian!" I hugged him as I teared up from happiness.

Sebastian hugged me back and giggled while gently rubbing my arm. Hashtag Senzie tee hee!

I cuddled up next to him and looked up at him and he looked down at me and we shared another kiss, which I know we both enjoyed. I hummed softly and wished this moment could last forever.

I pulled away and smiled more and continued to blush. I gently booped his nose which made him giggle.

"Come on, Sebby. Let's head back to the Halloween party." I whispered to him and he nodded his head.

We got ready and drove back to the school. When we arrived back at the school, Sebastian and I got out of the car and opened the trunk of the car and took Landon out and immediately he was revived.

When he came back to life, I explained to him everything that happened and he then went to go catch up with Hope inside.

When the two were reunited with each other, they stepped outside to the school's parking lot, right outside the party and told each other cheesy but cute things to each other and found a way to continue their romantic relationship.

I was really happy for them. This Halloween was filled with a lot of romance, surprisingly but it was cute.

I told Sebastian to wait for me at the party as I needed to get a few things to add to my Little Red Riding Hood costume. I wanted to change into a pair of shoes that matched the costume and I did just that.

After that, I went back to the party and caught back up with Sebastian. The two of us enjoyed the Halloween party atmosphere.

Lizzie found Sebastian and I and it seemed like she was very excited about something. She grabbed my arm a little bit, getting my attention.

"Hey, Sis! Boy do I have big news to tell you!" I raised my eyebrow and giggled, so did Sebastian.

"Hey, Liz! Ooh what's up?"

"I think I might have scored a big one. There's this guy and I think he and I might make it official." Lizzie squealed. I widened my eyes and gasped after hearing what my best friend said to me. Sebastian also was surprised too.

"Oh my goodness! Are you for real, sis? Do you even know his name?" Lizzie smiled brightly and nodded her head.

"Yes. His name is Blair. And I think he's a werewolf but also might be a vampire, he hasn't specified."

"That is very interesting. You can't just date someone who you just met. I hope you know what you're doing. I'm sorry, that's just my younger sister protective senses coming out." I calmly told my best friend and she thank goodness understood what I was saying.

She nodded her head and smiled more at me. "You're the sweetest! Don't worry, everything is going to be okay." Lizzie hugged me again and then seemed to be distracted by something or someone who caught her eye at the party.

"Ooh la la! I'm sorry, sis! I gotta go. Enjoy the party. Bye Sebastian haha" My best friend winked at Sebastian and then waved to me.

Sebastian and I giggled and waved back to her and she squealed while practically skipping over to where she wanted to be at.

As Sebastian and I are enjoying the party, it was heard that MG was on a date with Kym, Kaleb's younger sister for the whole day and part of the evening too.

Hearing that was very unexpected but cute at the same time. Kaleb made the announcement to everyone in a quiet and respectable manner to everyone in our squad.

It was hard to know how Kaleb felt about the whole MG dating his sister situation but he kept it cool, even if it was bothering him.

Anyway, the Halloween party was a groovy success and an absolute blast. People eating candy and drinking fruit punch at the snack table along with the other snacks there too.

People were also dancing and chit chatting with each other, a typical party setting.

Sebastian and I kept sharing kisses here and there which always made me blush and made my heart flutter a million times a minute.

I also got word that the request we made to enroll Sebastian as a full time student at the school, had successfully gone through.

Sebastian is now a full time student and I am just head over heels about that.

"I can't believe that you're a full time student now! I have a feeling that you're going to love it here." I looked up and smiled brightly at Sebastian and winked. He nodded and smiled back at me.

"I already do." Sebastian softly spoke, which made me continue to smile and giggle.

"Because of you, Mackenzie." Sebastian continued and whispered more directly in my ear, sending a shiver down my spine and made my face beet red.

I giggled even more and playfully rolled my eyes and wrapped my arms around his shoulders and hugged him, which he returned as we both continued to giggle more and enjoyed the party as it was slowly winding down.

People left the party here and there, but others remained to stay until the very minute of the party, like Sebastian and I and everyone else in the squad.

Sebastian and I were in the corner of the party, talking about random stuff and then Lizzie and Josie came over to us and talked to us too.

There was a door that I was standing next to and people could walk right in and or out of.

I was just talking to Sebastian more and then all of a sudden, I kept hearing people behind me gasping.

I saw Sebastian look up at all the commotion and raised his eyebrow. I also raised my eyebrow too and then turned around a little bit and saw that the Necromancer had made an appearance.

More like an unwelcome appearance. I had never heard of or came into contact with a villain such as him and boy does he look scary. He had this evil smile on his face as he examined the room.

He then noticed me and took a little bit of a liking towards me.

So not good!

I felt a light tap on my shoulder and low and behold, it was the Necromancer.

"Mmm, my my. What do we have here? Hello my dear, I've never seen you around here before" I moved away from him a little bit which made Sebastian raise his eyebrow again, mainly from concern about me.

I tried to relax in his comfort and hoped that the Necromancer would leave me alone but boy was I wrong.

The Necromancer stood directly in front of me and smirked more at me and knew that Sebastian was there but didn't do anything.

"Oh, don't worry, you poor girl. I won't hurt you." He said in a calm but evil sounding tone of voice.

I decided to be brave and turn my attention towards him, just so he could leave me alone.

I moved my head to face him as I continued to hold onto Sebastian more. Sebastian didn't like where this was going either.

He continued to hold onto me, his hold/ grip getting tighter but was gentle at the same time. The Necromancer raised his head up and then put it down, same level as me and smirked even more at me.

"My dear... tell me. What can you tell me about Hope Mikaelson and Landon Kirby?" The Necromancer calmly asked and I widened my eyes a little and shook my head no a little bit while gripping on Sebastian more and more.

I wonder what's going to happen next. Will the Necromancer get me to talk? Is Hope and Landon in danger?

Also, how will everyone react to Lizzie's new lover? Will we get to meet him? All this and more will be revealed in the next episode. I hope you're all ready for this:) :)

-End of story / episode 7

This story episode was one of my favorite one's to write. I had a blast writing it and I hope you all enjoyed it. Yes, I did have this be themed with the popular computer game, Wizard 101 because I thought it was fitting and would also be very interesting to use in a story like this and I think I did a good job. Stay tuned for future chapters and I'll see you in the next one :)

4x20: Just Don't Be A Stranger, Okay?

Oh wow! It truly has been a while since I've done one of these. It wasn't without reason, but that's not what you're here for. After almost three days since the Legacies series finale premiered, I am finally able to sit down, watch, and write about the true beginning of the end. So, fellow witches, it is with a heavy heart that I must say for the last time, let's get into it.

We open with Ethan's funeral and Hope holding the weapon of the Gods. Finch delivered Klaus's ashes to Hope who said that she'll spread his ashes on the school grounds. They talk about Jo who hasn't been in contact with either of them.

Ric calls a meeting with the school and talks about how the mission of creating a safe space for young supernatural was not achieved. Yet another student died. Because of this, she announces that the school must close since he can't keep the promise of the mission statement (which, so true bestie but you're escaping here).

MG and Hope are against the school closing while Lizzie agrees with her father. She's tired of fighting and plans to visit Josie.

Cleo is artistically blocked and Kaleb asks her to move to Atlanta with him when he goes back home since the school is closing. She is flattered but wants to know the full story of who Kaleb is. So, he lets her into his mind to see the honest truth. However, she freaks out when she sees a beautiful future. Apparently, they are not meant to go down that path together.

"I'm willing to open my mind to you, my life to you. But only if you want it." - Kaleb

In limbo, Ethan asks Landon about just exactly where he is. Landon tries to make light of the situation but Ethan isn't having it. He doesn't want to go to peace, he wants to live again. Landon says he can't do that again; he's sure nature won't allow it. He reassures Ethan that he'll be there to help him on his path. As soon as he says that, he's gone as Hope summoned him. She needs to see her father.

"We've come a long way from milkshakes in the square." - Landon

^Cue my tears!!!

Y'ALL IT'S GIVING CRYING IN THE CLUB. As maybe most people would have guessed that Landon's cost was essentially his feelings. That's basically what the last Ferryman told him happened to her. He said he doesn't feel what he's supposed to, it feels muted and like a bruise. Hope retracts her ask of him to find Klaus because she doesn't want another part of him to be lost. She gives him a hug and he goes back to limbo. (FYI: The one thing he is sure of is that he loves her). He asks Ethan to help him find someone as Ethan called himself "rescue guy".

MG sets a meeting with Ric and Lizzie about not closing the school because of the students that need a home. MG argues that the world is not a safe place for supernaturals and that Ric is running from grief. He tells Lizzie that she still clings onto Josie instead of staying and starting something new.

THERE'S A LETTER FROM JOSIE.

Hope thanks Ric for helping her get her humanity back. When he says he doesn't get all the credit for that, she shows him the pendant that she gave Josie in season 1. Josie sent it to the Mikaelson's which is how they knew that her humanity was off. Josie doesn't need it anymore, so Hope gives it to Alaric to, as we know "make quiet things heard". Here meaning his thoughts that may be trying to break through.

"You're my pendant." - Lizzie

MS. MYSTIC FALLS SUNSHINE CAROLINE FORBES HAS RETURNED! Honestly, quite earlier than I thought she would. I thought they'd include her towards the end.

Stop, wait, omg that was such a cute Jed and Finch moment.

Landon takes Hope out to the forest and tells her that Klaus found peace. He holds her hand and instantly on the screen in front of them plays memories of her and Klaus. These moments lead to Ethan appearing on the screen. He's at peace and is being shown by a pre-recorded video. After he makes his entrance, he leaves. That's when Klaus shows up. He tells her that she'll make mistakes. She'll find love and lose it. That comes with immortality. She'll experience so many things [in her life], but the important thing is that she lives it. He ends it by saying that she is his peace. You bet that tears were shed. Also, let's get Mr. Landon Kirby his own BOYFRIEND OF THE YEAR AWARD!!! I'm being serious.

"In the Salvatore School, we fight for the things we love." - Kaleb

Kaleb tells Cleo that he's going to help her with her painting block and that no matter what the vision says, he's not going to miss out on her. They exchange "I love you"'s, kiss, and paint explodes on the canvas.

MG puts up a sign over a door that says 'Ethan Machado Memorial Hall'. RIP:(

Ric announces that the school will remain open but he will be stepping down (finally!). The new headmaster, wait no, headMISTRESS, will be Ms. Caroline Forbes(-Salvatore).

"You deserve to be known."

Hope decides to send the weapon that can kill her off to Josette. (!!!)

"Peanut butter blast. Whipped cream on the bottom." - Landon

Everyone stop. These Handon scenes really got to me and I stopped being their fan a long time ago:( I'm actually really sad that they won't be reunited after everything.

Okay, questions: Why wasn't Caroline wearing her wedding ring necklace? How do Kaleb and MG still have their supernatural abilities while Jed doesn't?

Anyways, did ya'll see Florence May King?! Ugh, love. (Candice was gonna return for season 5, but RIP to that).

I love the TVDU endlessly and it'll always be part of my heart. I'm very fortunate and grateful that I decided to start watching and that I grew with these characters and its actors. It has been a true blessing getting to see old cast members back on screen.

It breaks my heart that after 13 years, it has come to an end. Especially when there's still so much potential to explore. Unfortunately, it was time.

Thank you to everyone who made this franchise possible and for everyone who loved them and continues to love them just as hard as I do.

Always & Forever.

32 - Acting like Teenagers

Part 33

Family is more than Blood

@icefrye19 @secretdreamlandmentality

Missy’s pov

A few days later it was finally Friday afternoon when I was waiting outside Mystic falls high school. My sister Alina was there with me. Swinging my legs back and forth sitting on one of the picnic tables I sighed where she finally broke the silence between us. “So why exactly are we outside the human high school waiting for somebody?”

“I’m waiting for Ethan. You can leave if you don’t want to be here.” I told her flipping my hair over my shoulders when I looked her way.

She sends me a half glare, gesturing to her growing belly. “Hey don’t be angry with me. I am very moody right now after this..”

According to our aunt Freya she was getting close to being five months pregnant. She was having to wear some of Jackson’s hoodies since she couldn’t fit into some of her clothes. Thankfully we could compel people not to judge that she was an eighteen year old pregnant girl. “Okay I’m sorry, Lina. I just wanted to feel normal for once given what we’ve been through the past few days.”

“Do you think mom is going to be okay now that her memories are back. I’ve never seen dad worry about the veins on her arms.” She pointed out to me tapping her fingers on her knees.

Shaking my head I wasn’t sure. “Mom’s been through hell and back. If anything she will be able to get through this. They are both tough as nails.”

“I suppose you’re right. We have to get our brave streak from somewhere. Now if you are wanting to do a party I’ll call Lizzie and see if she’s got any ideas.” Alina pulled up her phone texting the blonde Saltzman witch.

Shifting my attention away from her and her texting I saw the main school door get swung open and everyone started rushing outside happy the school day was over now. Scanning the crowd of people I shut my eyes trying to pinpoint his specific heartbeat. “Missy! Hey Alina, what are you guys doing here up here?” Ethan finally noticed us and he ran over smiling at us.

“We didn’t have class today and I couldn’t wait to see you.” I grinned sliding off the picnic table standing in front of him.

He nodded in understanding. “Nice. Who are you texting so much over there, Alina?”

“Our cousin Lizzie. It’s Friday night and we deserve to party tonight.” She responded by throwing her hands up in the air feeling embarrassed when he just stared at her. “I probably look ridiculous right. Pregnant girl wants to get her party on.”

My boyfriend shook his head in disagreement “it’s not lame at all. After getting cut from the football this morning I could use a good distraction.”

“You got cut this morning. I’m sorry I didn’t think that would happen.” I apologize to him remembering the day that he got injured because of Josie.

Alina’s phone vibrates when she reads the text out loud. “Ohhh yes! She said that we could have the party out at the old Lockwood mansion that was given to Mayor Donavan. That way there’s no way our parents or Uncle Ric can ruin our fun.”

“Cool. I’ll call some of my football buddies and see if they want to come hang.” Ethan points his thumb over his shoulder clearly excited.

Clasping my hands together I grinned at my boyfriend where I threw my arms around his neck. He wrapped his arms around my waist mirroring the smile. “That sounds fun, E. I’ll text you the address later tonight.”

“I’ll see ya later M & M.” He walked away leaving us alone to watch him go find his other human friends. Wrapping my arms around my chest I smiled knowing that I had made the right decision to have him remember my secret.

My sister broke me from my trance. “I’m glad to see I was right about you two the day we met him. He’s a good little dork for you.”

“He’s not a dork, Lina.” I snapped at her.

She smirked. “Yes he is. He freaking reads comic books and gives you your own unique nickname. What else am I supposed to call that?”

“You still married the only guy you’ve ever known.” I taunted her with a hand on my hip.

My twin sticks her tongue out. “How long are you going to use that against me?”

“Let’s see I am a vampire now so…forever.” I tapped my finger on my chin in thought smirking when I finished my sentence.

She gently shoved me away. “You suck you know that. Just be lucky that I love you. Now we have a party to plan.” Extending my hand out to her she loops her hand with mine where I vamped us back to the mansion going to get the rest of our friends ready for tonight.

Raelyn’s pov

Sitting at the office desk in one of the mansions studies I sighed heavily running a hand over my forehead feeling completely exhausted. Even though vampires don’t need sleep I still felt tired after the past few days. Flipping through some pages of the book I was reading I heard someone come stand in the doorway. “Raelyn, you’ve been in here for who knows how long. Would you please inform me what you are so preoccupied with?”

“Not at the moment, Nik.” I didn’t lift my gaze up from the book slamming it closed shut with a snap of my fingers. “Grrrr. It shouldn’t be possible. I fixed the problem ages ago. I know it.”

My husband crossed the room leaning his palms on the wooden desk. “Raelyn, what are you rambling on about?”

“I saw my uncle Joshua and he warned me. He warned me that Rapunzel and Charming may have to merge like Jacob and I.” I answered his question by dropping another book on the desk that dealt with the blood relation of the Gemini family tree.

Klaus sat down on the edge of the desk, taking out his phone trying to gain my attention. “Hmm that’s odd. Alina just made a large charge on my credit card.”

“Yeah I heard her tell Hope about having a party at the old Lockwood house later tonight.” I replied, racking a hand through my loose hair.

Klaus sent me a half glare. “You’re telling me you knew about this and you did nothing to stop them. That doesn’t sound like you.”

“They're grown adults. I am currently trying to save our young twins even though I am certain that the blood spill I used years ago was supposed to protect any set of twins from our blood from merging. The only ones not spared were Lizzie and Josie.” Hitting my fists on the desk my sleeves had fallen down giving my husband the opportunity to see that the black veins were still there meaning I hadn't placed the Hollow's magic back into the white oak.

Klaus reached across the table snagging my wrist in his grasp. “Rae, look at me for a second.”

“Hmmm.” I made a noise lifting my gaze up to his blue orbs.

He replied to me. “I say we go out tonight. You and I. Crash our teenagers party. Take some alcohol and maybe sample some fresh blood.”

“They're kids. We can’t crash a party.” I told him, shaking my head. “Besides, we have to watch Henrik, Charming and Rapunzel.”

My husband snapped his fingers. “I already took care of that problem. Anticipating our children I asked Damon and Elena to watch them. Given that your brother and Hayley are out on a date tonight.”

“How the hell did you pull that off? Can they be compelled cause I swear they'd take vervain “ Leaning back in the desk chair I tapped my fingers on the old wood.

Klaus stands in front of me offering his hand to pull me up and out of the chair. “I agreed to pay for their kid’s school bills. But that shouldn’t be for a few years since they are only in elementary school. Now come on Raelyn.”

I changed into some ripped blue jeans, a bright red sleeved top with my hair slightly curled. I paired it with some short black boots. Klaus chose to wear his old gray and black jacket that he wore before we made our home in New Orleans. We walked in hand and hand seeing the mansion filled with teenagers dancing and bumping around drinking. “Remind me again why we came here?”

“Because we deserve a night out on the town. And because I have been morning in pain not having you at my side for days. So I’d like to take the win and spend the night with the woman I love.” Klaus turned to face me cradling my face in his freehand and squeezing our intertwined hands together.

Clicking my tongue I smiled up into his blue orbs. “Aren’t you a romantic, Mr. Hybrid. I only have one warning for you.”

“And what is that, heretic queen?” He asked, leaning down when I raised myself up on my toes.

Hitting my nose with his I giggling pulling my hand out of his. “Be prepared to accept defeat at beer pong.” I vanished into the crowd and the hybrid just chuckled as she left him standing there. For he had missed her very prescience that consumed his very being. And now he wouldn’t miss another moment.

I wasn’t sure how long we had been playing the game. But the kids we were playing with were close to passing out drunk. Raising a glass of wine to my mouth I downed almost half of it. “Alright Nikky, it’s your turn. But there’s only two cups on our side to your.. .five.”

“Don’t think you’ve won just yet.” He warned me by throwing the ball without bouncing it on the table so it landed right in the center cup.

Glaring at him I raised the cup drinking all the bourbon that we had poured into it. Lowering the cup I gagged at the same opportunity to hear cheering coming from the wine cellar in the basement. Pinpointing out our daughter's voices. “I can’t believe our parents are here.”

“Dad, probably saw the credit card charge.” Alina reported scolding her older sister. “Or somebody’s boyfriend blabbed to him.”

Landon nervously chuckles. “Hey has anybody ever done Never have I Ever and Truth or Dare?”

“That sounds like fun.” Ethan chimed in where I finally stopped listening in on their conversation.

Nik came over to me after the teenagers playing with us had left. He held the cup of bourbon in his hand and I sat down my cup feeling his freehand on my lower back. “We will mess with their fun in a few hours. I think we need far more drinks than what we have had.” He took my hand and we went in the direction of the kitchen.

Missy’s pov

We had decided to break away from the others at our school that we had invited to this party. That meant that it was me, Ethan, Alina, Jackson, Landon, Hope and finally Andrea all hanging out in the basement. It became our own little clubhouse area. “Never have I ever pulled an all-nighter.”

“Oh geez.” Ethan covered his face with his freehand while taking a drink from his red solo cup.

I turned my head at him. “When did that happen?”

“It was like an initiation into being on the football team. Conor wanted to find out who the weak team members were.” He explained simply,

Landon sat up holding out his cup to the center circle. “Never have I ever drank alcohol before I was 21.”

“Seriously Landon, that's everyone in this room.” Alina scolded him after taking a drink along with everybody else playing the game.

Jackson, who had his arm draped over Alina’s shoulder, raised his glass. “Never have I gone skinny-dipping?” My sister Alina slowly takes a sip from her cup causing me and Hope to gasp in shock.

“When did that happen and why didn’t we know about this before tonight?” Hope gasped.

She shrugged her shoulders, laying her head against her werewolf husband’s chest. “Possibly on our second date before he officially met mom and dad. And you can’t say anything but we got a little excited that night and I’m surprised he didn’t get me pregnant that night.”

“You took her virginity before you were married!” Andra nearly choked on her words.

Ethan made a look of confusion eyeing my twin and Jackson who sat across from us. It was a lot to just explain all the supernatural creatures that lived in this town. I hadn’t had time to explain the whole Mikaelson / Lane family details that he didn’t know about yet. “Wait a minute. Are you two married because you love each other or are you together because you got her pregnant?”

“Because we love each other, man.” Jackson answered the question.

The human boy in our group didn’t seem convinced. “I’m just asking because I don’t get why two teenagers are married but only one of you has had other relationships before you were married.”

“Ethan, you want to talk about odd relationships. We should talk about who is the weirdest supernatural creature in the room. I vote for Landon.” Andrea got up to her feet pointing her index finger at the curly haired boy,

Hope glared at her. “Why do you say that, Andrea? You know what, let's get back to the game. I dare you to chug hot sauce for 30 seconds.”

“No, I think it would be cool to hear that all supernatural creatures are here with me.” Ethan shrugs his shoulders, actually curious.

I raised my hand starting off the list. “I’m the only heretic besides my mother. Half witch half vampire..oh wait there’s aunt Valerie too.”

“Team were witches.” Alina raised her hand so Andrea and her high fived each other including Jackson.

Landon held up his hand. “Only phoenix.”

“Tribrid. Hybrid of three different creatures beat that!” Hope teased them by downing almost all the alcohol in her cup.

Running a hand through my hair I did my best to change the game back to what it was before we switched the subject. “Howl like a wolf to the moon, Ethan.” I eyed my boyfriend who got to his feet about to do what I suggested to him until Jackson spoke up.

“Hold on, Missy. I don’t think we’ve asked the very obvious question yet. Who here is still a virgin in all of our relationships?”

“Oh Jack.” Alina scolded him.

He chuckled, not backing down. “I dare them all to answer it since we know we both aren’t.”

“I’ll put it out there man as long as you don’t tell the guys on the Mystic High football team.” Ethan was the first to admit it, sending me a half smile as if he was worried I would out him.

Taking a long sip of my drink I wasn’t comfortable giving that out even though everyone in this room was either family or close friends. “I still am one. Sorry I didn’t tell you that yet, E.” I apologized before he placed his hand in mine.

“Fine. I ain’t slept with anyone either.” Hope blurts it out, getting to her face and heading towards the stairs to leave. “I’m getting us more alcohol.”

Landon nervously chuckles against the somewhat tense silence in the room that had been created. He leans back in the chair he was sitting in shifting his attention around. “Is anybody still open to Truth or Dare?”

“I think we should try and trick our parents. Specifically our father.” I smirked, getting a good idea in the back of my mind.

Ethan and Landon sent me a horrified look. “Are you sure that’s a good idea?”

“Yeah, he's totally cool with it.” Alina responded, acting so much like our father than the rest of his kids did in the room.

Andrea throws her hands up in the air. “I’ve got an idea but we need to buy a Santa Claus hat and beard.”

“Ah I see where she’s going. Plus we’ll need to put it on him when he’s asleep.” Jackson leaned forward in his seat, interested in the plan.

Landon froze up and I could hear his heartbeat quickening up. “Wait a second, who exactly is putting the Santa hat on him while he sleeps?”

“Obviously you and Ethan.” Andrea sniped at him.

Ethan rubbed the back of his neck but he calmed down when I placed my hand in his other. “Why exactly is it just the two of us? Why not include Jackson too?”

“It’s a right of passage in this family. Jackson already faced him when he asked for Alina’s hand in marriage and he didn’t get killed over it.” I clasped my hands together turning around in a circle so both of the newbie boyfriends would understand what they were up against. “Our mother is totally okay with us dating any boy. It’s our father you have to worry about.”

“What have you got them into now?” Hope shut the door with her food coming back down the stairs carrying an unopened bottle of liquor.

Andrea finished the contents of her cup. “Simple the “Can They Survive Klaus Mikaelson Test”. If they come out of it alive then they have proven they are worthy to end up with a Mikaelson daughter.”

“Most importantly somebody better get it on recording.” I added laughing along with my sisters and cousin. The face reactions from my boyfriend and Landon were priceless.

Comments really appreciated ❤️
