I'm back! Ok so I know I have yet to finish Wanted and have barely begun my story about Ingrid... Don't hate me. But I still have every intension to finish them. Just please be patient with me. I'm only human. A human with a lot of writers block. But I did come up with this new story. It is a continuation after season 5. As always, I will try to stay true to what the show writers had already done.. even if I do hate just about everything they did in season 5. However, I will try to make it work in my favor and I hope you will enjoy my take on it. Expect OC's as I am an author who loves my own characters dearly. For those of you who are loyal readers, no I have no plans to have Cosmina to make an appearance in this story. Might happen if it would make sense. We'll just have to wait and see. Without further delay, I give you my take on what season 6 could have been, Trials!
Lights glowed from the cave located in Romania. An archeologist and his assistant were in the middle of exploring a newly found tunnel within it.
"Do you really believe it's wise to be here at this hour?" Said the assistant. He was young, only 20, and just recently gotten this job. He hoped that it would give him an excuse to travel around more.
"We're fine. You shouldn't listen to all those legends," said the archeologist.
"But aren't legends the reason we are here?"
"What I mean is legends that have to do with things like magic. There is no proof of it being true."
"I'm not so sure there is no proof."
The archeologist chose to ignore him and continued searching for whatever he could find. He was searching for any proof that people used to use this cave as a place to practice witchcraft of some sort. They had found other evidence but nothing to show who these people really were. As he was digging, something finally flew up from the ground. A container made of a dark colored metal.
"Bring me another flashlight from over there," The archeologist pointed toward the wall.
The assistant brought the flashlight and pointed it at the container. There seemed to be no sort of markings on the container. It was black and smooth. It was rectangular about 5 inches long and 2 inches wide.
"What is this?" Asked the assistant.
"No idea at the moment. Hopefully there is something inside," he began to slide the top off when he felt someone grab his shoulder. He turned around to find glowing yellow eyes starring at him. He blacked out.
"Told you they would find it for us," Talitha smirked. "We didn't have to lift a finger."
Vlad gave her a smile and took the container from the archeologist, "We probably wouldn't have to had to wait as long if we had just searched for it ourselves."
Talitha took the container from him, "Couldn't risk leaving evidence behind that we were here."
"What sort of evidence could we possibly leave behind?"
"I don't know. Slayers have all sorts of technology that we don't understand."
"Yeah, kind of scary to think about. Speaking of slayers, let's get out of here before they show up. We've been here too long."
Vlad started to walk out of the room and Talitha followed, but stopped as she was opening the container, "Uhh..Vlad?"
Vlad turned to her, "What is it?"
"It's your family's Coat of Arms," she handed the container to him.
Vlad looked at it for a moment. The Coat of Arms was all black but it was a bit different than just the vampire bat. It had a dragon surrounding it in a circle. The wings were folded in blending with its body. The dragon and the bat both had rubies for eyes. It was hooked on a thick black chain necklace.
Vlad handed back to Talitha, "I guess it's no surprise. My family used to live in this area for centuries."
"But why do the slayers want it? It can't be more than an old piece of jewelry."
"I don't know but our job is to keep it from them." Vlad started heading for the exit again. Talitha followed as they sped through the tunnels but Vlad finally came to a stop just before the last turn.
"What is it?" Talitha asked.
"Slayers. They are maybe 2 miles out traveling pretty fast. They probably already have us on their radar."
"You have a plan?"
Vlad took the necklace out of the container and put it on under his hoodie, "I'll take this and you take the container. We split up and hopefully they will too. Find a place to hide out until they're gone. I'll try and meet up with you soon. If not tonight, then tomorrow."
Talitha gave him a kiss on the cheek and ran west. Vlad ran the opposite.
It didn't take the Slayers long to catch up. Vlad had hid up in the trees. The Slayers stayed in the area looking for him for a good hour. When they finally left Vlad found a small cave to spend the day since the sun would rise soon. He sat down as far from the exit as possible. The moment he did he realized how weak and tired he felt. He pulled out some soy blood from his backpack but passed out before he had gotten the chance to drink any.
When he started dreaming he stood in the middle of a forest right next to a large lake. Fog rested on top of the lake. Vlad had a feeling he was in the dream world again. He kept his guard up just in case. The first thing Vlad had noticed was that there seemed to be a man standing on the water. The second thing he noticed was how thirsty he felt. The man pointed to the left of Vlad. In the distance Vlad saw a deer. A voice spoke but it didn't seem to be coming from the man, "Kill…" The voice was coming from Vlad's head. "Kill…"
Vlad couldn't say anything. "Kill!" Vlad's mind went blank and he heard himself yell.
Vlad woke up suddenly in a panic. He calmed himself down and looked at his watch. It was 9PM! Vlad stood up quickly to go find Talitha, but he almost fell over from weakness. He put his hand up to the wall to keep his balance. He hadn't felt this weak since he was dying of a cold.
He slowly walked to the exit of the cave. He then looked up in shock. In front of him maybe 20ft away was the deer from his dream. He could hear that voice in his head again, "Kill…" It wasn't any voice he knew.
"What's going on?" Vlad thought out loud.
"KILL!" The voice screamed.
Vlad's mind went completely blank and he lunged. He had no thoughts or memories after that.
"Vlad!" Vlad heard someone yell for him. He opened his eyes slowly to find Talitha starring at him with worry. He snapped out from his sleepy state and looked around at where he was. He fell asleep against a tree trunk. Then Vlad remembered about the deer. He looked down at his clothes and hands. There wasn't any blood on him. But he knew that he had killed it. He could still taste the animal blood in his mouth. He wasn't sure how he hadn't gotten any blood on him but he seemed to have managed.
"Vlad, are you ok?" Talitha helped him stand up.
He wasn't sure how to answer. Everything confused him. He didn't want to kill that deer but he did. Then he remembered the necklace. He took it off and stared at it.
"Vlad!" Talitha yelled.
Vlad looked at her, "What?"
"Are you ok?"
"I think so." He looked back at the necklace. "How long have you been here?"
"Five minutes maybe. How long have you been here?"
"I don't know." He looked at his watch, 2AM. "Maybe 4 or 5 hours."
Talitha gave him a weird look. "We need to get somewhere safe." She reached for Vlad's hand.
Suddenly a UV bomb set off right between them and they were knocked to the side. Vlad didn't hesitate. He rushed to Talitha's aid and helped her stand up, "Let's go!"
He started to run but they were cut off again by another bomb. Vlad stepped back but was blinded by the light.
"Don't move!" Someone yelled. Vlad decided to do as they said until he found his way out of this. His vision quickly recovered and two slayers step toward them, guns ready. They had motorcycle helmets on.
"Give us the necklace," demanded one of the slayers.
"What do you want with it?" Vlad asked.
"Classified," said the other.
"If we give it to you will you let us go?" Talitha asked.
"We'll see."
Vlad doubted that they would. He saw that Talitha had the container in her hands. He didn't have time. The slayers would either slay them here or take them back for questioning. He snatched the container from Talitha and threw it at the slayers hoping to distract them. Unfortunately that isn't all that happened. Vlad had accidently let out a wave of electricity from his hand and hit both the slayers who then went flying. Vlad didn't really want to stay to find out if they were ok. He took Talitha's hand and ran.
After about an hour he finally stopped to rest. He looked around and saw a sign that said they were 10 miles out from Berlin. They had reach Germany. Vlad was fast but he was not that fast. This shouldn't be possible. Talitha looked shocked as well.
"Ok let's find a hotel and spend the day there while we figure out what's up with you," Talitha suggested.
They found a place called Raddison Blu. Vlad had hypnotized the woman at the check in counter to get them a room even though the hotel was booked. Vlad looked out the window of their room, starring at the giant aquarium in the middle of the hotel, while Talitha held the necklace.
"So when we separated you passed out in a cave, had a dream of a shadow standing on a lake, woke up and then fell asleep again in the forest?" Vlad decided to not tell her about the kill part. He wasn't sure why put something just told him he should keep it a secret.
"Yeah that's about it," Vlad sat next to her on the couch and took the necklace back from her.
"Well clearly it's the necklace. Maybe we should take it somewhere to be looked at."
"Who though?" Vlad knew what she was about to say but hoped maybe she had a different plan.
"Your sister's boyfriend seems to be very smart and great at research. Maybe he can find something out about it."
Vlad whined like a child which Talitha laughed at, "Do you really hate your sister that much?"
"I don't hate her at all. I just don't like her that much. She tries to kill me all the time."
Talitha laughed again, "Just go. Once you get the information about that necklace than we can meet up back at the temple in India."
"Meet up? Where are you going?"
"My dad wants to see me. He says he misses me and wants to spend some time together. Also, I think he just wants to get me away from you."
At that Vlad rolled his eyes, "Fine. I'll go alone."
Talitha crawled into his lap and started to kiss him. She pulled away and said, "Be safe."
Vlad smiled, "I always am."
With that they went to bed together.
