I took a breath and closed my eyes as I sat cross-legged on the front seat of Nik's car.
Come on, Lilith; come out, I hissed to myself inside as I felt something start to grow inside my heart; it's like a spiral, a ruthless, sociopathic plant that's just starting to sprout back after winter. "What are you doing?"
I lost it.
The tiny imaginary plant disintegrated as I snapped my eyes open, "Shut. . . up," I said through clenched teeth as I snapped my eyes shut, "Oh! She's meditating, Klaus!" I tensed my saw as I pulled out Sammy; I reached over to the backseat and jammed it into Stefan's knee, he screams in pain as I pulled it out and put it back in its sheath.
I snapped my eyes shut again as I put all my focus into the tiny plant. I felt it grew from a tiny little seedling as my hunter side smirked at me, I felt a tingling sensation ran through my body as I exhaled; a new power was found and my eyes fluttered open as we halt to a stop.
I checked my magazine pouch, my vervain laced stake and Sammy. I tucked my Deagle & Colt into the waistband of my jeans before checking that I have a backup wolfsbane magazine, "Let's go," I muttered and we exit the car.
"Ray? Ray Sutton?"
"Who wants to know?"
"I've been looking everywhere for you. We started in Florida, Pensacola. I met a young chap there who you used to work with before you moved to Memphis, now he directed me to two lovely young women. And they led me here, to you."
"I think I'll be going."
Nik stops him and a smile crept up to his face, "Not so fast, mate. You only just got here, now your type is very hard to come by."
He tries to go the other way but I stepped in front of him with a wicked smile and my Colt pointed against his head, "Hello," I cocked my head as he cringed at my face. "See, my little friend here is human but my vampire friend compelled the whole bar; don't bother looking for help. I however, I'm something else, a different kind of monster, I've got some vampire, I've got some wolf."
"A hybrid Ray, I'm both. You see I want to create more of me, now you being the first werewolf that I've come across in many a moon, pun intended Ray. I need you to direct me to your pack. So, where can I find them Ray?"
"You can't compel me, it won't work."
I grinned as I tucked my gun away and Nik nodded, "Hey!" I snapped, "Bring out the darts." Stefan came into view and smiled at him, "Tell you what Ray, We're gonna play a little drinking game, something I like to call truth or wolfsbane."
I could feel the guy's eyes on me as I swirled a dart around in my concentrated wolfsbane. Ray is all chained up and darts were stuck to their body, "You know I'm not going to stop," I piped up as he glared at me, "What are you; his little bitch?" he spat.
I didn't say a thing but merely threw the dart towards him; it landed in his left eye and he screams for his dear life, oh this is fun! "Bull's-eye!" I chirped happily as I plucked the darts off his body but not his eye, "Just tell me where your pack gathers for the full moon."
He whimpered, "I cant."
He was a bloody-assed mess. I shrugged at him as I heard Stefan leave, "Suit yourself; I'm having fun here, watching you all screaming like that."
I pulled out my black 27" Dual Full Tang black machete and swiftly beheaded Ray.
His head rolled off with two strikes as his body fell limp onto the earthy ground, "Lilith-" I jammed the machete through his stomach and pulled it out in one swift movement, he screamed as the vervain sizzled him and he fell to the floor.
"Why did you go with them?" he yelled in betrayal and I just stared at him impassively.
"Oh, Katherine didn't tell you?" I cocked my head to the side, "I did this for you, D; do me a favor and be thankful of my sacrifice for you so try to stay alive. You should go home, stay home; I don't want to give away my time for you just to get yourself killed."
"Looks familiar, doesn't it?"
I looked around the place; it was pretty okay, "I cant believe this place is still here."
"You got to be kidding me."
My eyes wandered to the not-so-elderly lady while Nik smiles at her, "So a hybrid walks into a bar, says to the bartender-" "Oh, stop! You may be a big bad hybrid but that doesn't make you funny," I teased and Klaus smiles fondly at me while the witch raised her brows.
"And who might this be?"
"This is Lilith Vine; my right-hand woman," Nik introduced me and I gave him a look as Stefan fixed up a drink for us, "I'm Gloria," she smiled and we shook hands. She tilted her head and I raised a challenging brow, "You're human."
Nik nodded, "She's human."
"A very special one," Gloria noted, "You've got a nasty spell latched on you; immune to aneurysm? That's really something." I smirked at her, "I have my connections, Gloria." Niklaus watched our exchange carefully, "There's something dark inside you; something ruthless and brute."
Stefan and Nik both scoffed at this, "As if we don't know already," Stefan muttered and I gave him a wolfish smile. Gloria cringed and I felt needles trying to jab itself onto my skull; it gets harder and faster but I could barely feel a tingle.
I raised my brows and she laughed a really old-fashioned laugh, "Whoever this witch is; she's really strong, I'm impressed. Just don't let the darkness take over; it'll rain blood if you do." A sick smile crept up to my face and she cringed, "Oh, Gloria, I appreciate your concern," I cooed, "But I think it's a little too late for that?"
She furrowed her brows, "It's an on and off things for years. My brother has it too, does he not? But unlike me-" "He suppresses it," Gloria finished and I grinned broadly at her, "I don't know why the hell I'm needed for in this world; what my fate is or what I'm supposed to do with all this 'darkness' that's inside, but I'm just going to tell you one thing," she raised her brows as I glanced at Nik before sweeping over to Stefan.
"I'm having the time of my life."
