A/N: Thoughts are in italics.
Damon's point of view
"I'm meeting up with Anna later," I tell Natala. Aspen had already left for the Artificial Nocturne.
"Is tonight the night?" She asks. I told her about the deal I made with Anna.
"It is."
"I hope everything goes according to plan."
"The less people that know about it, the better."
Natala wouldn't tell anyone about this. She knows how important this is.
"When are you meeting up with her?" Natala asks.
"After sundown."
"Understandable."
"How about after I help Anna, we track down Aspen and we go out to eat."
"Tracking him down won't be that hard," she comments.
"So I'll take that as a yes."
"It's a yes," she laughs.
I smile at her and check my phone to make sure Anna didn't change her mind. There weren't any calls or texts so I guess tonight's plan will still happen.
Aspen's point of view
I met up with Chloe at the Artificial Nocturne. My car was low on gas and I didn't want to get some today. My laziness is my biggest flaw. So I walked. It didn't take long to get there. Chloe gave me a big hug when I walked in. We talked about the weirdest topics we could think of.
We talked for three hours. When we left, we were in tears because of laughing too hard. We decided to meet up again tomorrow.
When I was walking back home, a hooded figure kept following me. After a while I decided to confront the person following me but he wasn't there.
"Show yourself!" I yell.
There's a large burst of wind to the right of me and I brace myself for an attack. But there isn't one. Instead there's a sharp pain in my head and I fall to the ground. Before I pass out, I hear the hooded figure laughing.
Damon's point of view
After sundown Anna and I met up at the church ruins. She got there before me. "Are you ready?" She asks.
"I am. I brought the crystal along with a few bags of blood."
"You're the ringleader, how are we getting her out of the tomb?"
"The spell will be lifted when the crystal is placed on the door and you will go in and find her," I explain.
"And you're going to stand there and look pretty?"
"Basically."
She shakes her head and grabs a blood bag. I place the crystal on the door and it opens. Anna runs inside. I wait outside for ten minutes.
Anna comes out basically dragging her mother. Most of her attention is directed to her mother.
"The blood bags are over here. I'm going to leave now." She doesn't answer me. I quietly walk away and head back home to get cleaned up so I can meet up with Aspen and Natala.
Natala's point of view
I couldn't find Aspen anywhere. I checked the Artificial Nocturne and he wasn't there. I called Chloe to see if she knew where he was. She said that he left the Artificial Nocturne hours ago.
I looked for him for about an hour then I decided to check the woods for him. I checked the entire woods and still no Aspen. I was walking next to the road when I noticed someone following me in a car. I started running to get away from the car.
The car caught up to me and hit me. I was on the ground clutching my side. The driver came and blindfolded me. Before I could fight back, I was put in the trunk of the car. I have no clue why someone would do this.
Damon's point of view
I waited for them at the restaurant, but they never showed. That's not like them. I hope something didn't come up. I checked my phone, no one has tried to contact me.
I went back home to see if I could find them. The moment I stepped out of the car, I knew something was wrong. I could smell blood, and a lot of it. I ran to the source of the smell. Please don't be them. It wasn't.
The side of the house was covered in blood. It looked like a message. I took a few steps back and read it. Show yourself or more blood will spill. I took a deep breath and ran to the border. I shifted into a wolf and called out to Aspen and Natala. No one responded. I shifted back into my human form and I yelled their names. Nothing but silence. Whoever did this is going to die.
