Just a heads up that the updates might become a bit irregular for a while since I'm starting school, but I will do my best to have one up every week, can't promise that it will be on Tuesdays as before.
I don't keep my promises
So far, she has managed to ruin a really pretty pair of shoes, seen a lot of trees and gotten bored, having followed someone for most of the day is starting to feel like a waste of time. At least it has paid off because when Matt, or the person in Matt, is heading back to the Lockwood house, he is doing so with a knife in his hands.
She has kept herself hidden, not wanting to risk that the Traveller learns of their plans, but seeing now how he is just returning, she could just as easily have waited it all out. Well, it felt comforting knowing that she had an eye on Matt in case something had gone wrong.
Once in the house again, she is watching from the shadows as the Traveller is directing his attention to one of the cameras, they had put up earlier and speaks a message to Matt. "Hello, Matt Donovan. I'm the passenger inside you. I know you have many questions, but all you need to know is that one day my friends will come looking for this blade. Protect it at all costs..." he draws the knife over Matt's hand before putting it up to show the wound. "...or this will be your throat."
When he has gotten his message across, he puts the knife down on the desk and returns to the couch. Soon he becomes unconscious and Rebekah hurries to his side. "Matt, Matt." She starts to shake him, trying to wake him up.
It takes a while, enough for her to worry, so when his eyes open, she draws a sigh of relief. "What happened?" he asks and tries to sit. He makes a pained face and looks down to his hand.
"I can heal it for you." She offers.
Shaking his head, he gives her a smile. "It's not that bad, I'll survive." She sighs, at the response, she only wanted to help. "So, what happened?" he asks again.
Rebekah gets up and goes over to the desk to pick up the knife. "We have what we need to get rid of your passenger." She says with a smile. "Now, we just have to make sure that Nadia is willing to help us get some answers out of him first."
A few hours have passed since they started to study and so far, she has known most of the answers to the questions Jesse has asked. It wasn't like she planned on doing this without having studied, if it has to be done, she better do it right.
And Jesse seems impressed so far and is starting to agree that she should have a place in the class, or at least that she should get one her second year. It has been really nice to focus on normal schoolwork for a while, even if it is because she needs information.
Of course, that means that her peace and quiet has to be disturbed. "We need to talk!" she can hear Rebekah yell throughout the house, loudly enough for anyone with or without supernatural hearing to hear.
She looks to Jesse with a smile. "I should see what she wants." She excuses herself. "I won't be long." Hopefully, Rebekah doesn't want something that needs her presence.
They have all gathered in the living room, Rebekah standing with Matt by her side, Katherine and Nadia is sitting on the couch, while Elijah is standing behind it, when she gets downstairs, and she walks in as Rebekah is holding out a knife in front of Nadia. "Is this it?" she asks.
Nadia is looking uncertain and it is Katherine that answers her. "That should be it, especially if he wanted to keep it safe." It feels like she missed a part of this conversation.
"You can't use it," Nadia says. "You promised to help restore his body." She is looking at Katherine.
Though everyone else's eyes have moved to Caroline. "I said that I was going to ask her about it." Katherine says and shrugs.
There has definitely been a conversation at some point that she has missed. What has Katherine promised that she will do? "Start over, what do you want me to do?"
"The man that was with her." Katherine starts explaining and points to Nadia. "We want you to try and restore his body."
Caroline rolls her eyes. "Sure, I will just wave my hands around and fix all of your problems." She sighs, how did she get dragged into this. "I have no idea if I can do that, and how can we even trust him." He wanted her to come with him for some reason.
Everyone seems to have had that thought and when Caroline asks about it, Katherine just smiles. She goes to get a chair that she places in the middle of the room before turning towards Matt. "Please sit." She demands and takes the knife from Rebekah. "We are going to ask some questions before we do anything." She then turns to Nadia. "Call on your friend."
Nadia is looking between them all, understanding that she doesn't have much of a choice. "This is ridiculously and his name is Gregor." She exclaims.
Matt who has sat down clears his throat. "Are we sure this is safe?" he asks.
"With the information, Katerina has given us, it is my understanding that calling on the passenger doesn't do you any harm." Elijah answers him and Matt sighs but nods to them to do it.
Standing in front of him, Nadia looks in his eyes and says a word, Caroline doesn't understand. For a short, while Matt's eyes turn black before he speaks in, what Caroline guesses, is the same language Nadia did before.
The two have a conversation that Caroline can only hope the other people in the room can follow so that they can't talk about something without their knowledge. Since they all appear calm, it is more likely than not that they do understand.
When Gregor looks to Katherine he stands up, but Elijah is quick to force him down in the chair again. "I recommend that you don't try anything." He warns him.
Katherine moves a few steps closer. "Nice to meet you, I'm Katherine Pierce."
"What do you want?" He asks determined.
She shakes her head. "The question isn't what I want, but what you want. Why are you in Mystic Falls?" she holds up the knife in front of him. "And I wouldn't try to keep anything from us if I were you."
He looks angerly at them. "I was supposed to make sure so a power like hers wasn't allowed to roam freely." He looks to Caroline while saying this. "And then make sure you were dead." He adds turning back to Katherine.
They weren't expecting that. Well, him wanting Katherine dead isn't really a surprise to anyone but Nadia who glares angerly and betrayed at him. But that he and his people want to lock her up, she has never expected that anyone would want to do that.
Sure, it doesn't come as a shock that there is those who don't like what she has become, but that they have already learned about it, and this is their response, she happens to like her freedom, thank you very much.
"You used me to get to her." Nadia suddenly accuses him. "Why, why do you want her dead?"
He shrugs. "That is what the Travelers asked of me, I don't question it." He answers her.
"I would like to say that I'm shocked," Katherine says. "But you Travelers are ruthless, manipulative and hypocrites." She moves closer the knife firm in her grasp.
At the same time, they can hear footsteps that are entering the room. "What in the hell is going on here?" Jesse asks as he sees them.
No one has an answer. Caroline is looking to the vampires as to ask one of them to compel him to forget this, but before she can voice her question, chaos breaks out. Gregor gets up from the chair and tries to grab the knife from Katherine.
Rebekah is doing her best to make sure that Matt doesn't get harmed in all of this, while Elijah is trying to help both his sister and the doppelgänger. At the same time, Caroline moves to get Jesse out of there, but their path is blocked by Nadia.
Apparently, she isn't planning on giving up on Gregor even after what they have learned. "You two aren't going anywhere." She grabs Jesse and pushes Caroline away from them. "Let Gregor go, and the human survives." She demands as the three vampires have managed to restrain Gregor to the chair and Katherine is about to put the knife in him.
They are all looking tensely around the room. Rebekah is moving over to Caroline to help her up. "Let us all just calm down." She says as doing so.
Unfortunately, Katherine has different plans. "He is here to kill me, and I don't care about one worthless human." She stabs the knife in Matt's stomach.
He falls unconscious on the chair, but they can hear his heartbeat, and Matt appears to be somewhat fine. What worries Caroline more right know is the snap of a neck being broken.
