"Landon!" Hope cries, finally finding the strength to crawl across the ground to where her boyfriend lay. She pulls his head into her lap and presses her shaky fingers to his wrist, searching for a pulse.

"Let me," Josie says softly, noticing Hope's trembling hands, as she kneels and grabs Landon's wrist.

Lizzie moves to kneel next to Hope and rubs her back comfortingly, as the tribrid looks at the brunette siphoner with tears in her eyes. "Jo?" Hope asks with a shaky voice.

"I'm so sorry, Hope," Josie whispers sympathetically, her own eyes filling with tears.

"No!" Hope sobs, "no, no, no."

"Hope," Lizzie sighs softly.

"He can't be dead," Hope looks around her and grabs a sharp rock that laid nearby and uses it to cut her wrist open "please work, please work," she whispers repeatedly, as she presses her wrist against Landon's lips.

"What happened?" Kaleb appears just as a sob racks through Hope's body as the cut on her wrist closes up and Landon remains motionless.

"MG," Josie replies softly looking up at Kaleb, "but a werewolf came, he's somewhere over there."

Kaleb quickly disappears in the direction Josie pointed him towards, as Hope fell back onto Lizzie's shoulder, tears streaming down her face. The three girls remain like that, with Lizzie running her hand up and down Hope's arm as the tribrid cries and Josie watching with tears in her own eyes. It wasn't until Alaric and Matt showed up from behind some trees that either of them spoke.

"We heard screaming," Alaric announces, crossbow in hand.

"What happened?" Matt asks, the colour draining from his face as he takes in his surroundings.

"MG, he came out of nowhere," Hope explains shakily, "I tried to stop him, but he threw me against a tree, and I couldn't."

"Where is he now?" The sheriff looks around, anger lacing his voice.

"A werewolf came, before Lizzie and I could do anything, it attacked him and they ended up going that way," Josie informs them softly.

"Kaleb showed up not long after and went to see if he could find MG," Lizzie looks up at her father.

"I'll go see if I can find them," Alaric tells Matt and begins to walk off, before Josie stands up.

"I'll come with you," she declares and follows her father.

"I tried to stop him, Matt," Hope sobs a few moments after Alaric and Josie have walked away, "I really did."

"I know, it's not your fault," Matt assures her and kneels next to his foster son's pale and lifeless body, taking a limp hand into his own as a tear falls from his eye.

After a few minutes, the only noise heard being Hope's shaky breathing, the tribrid gently lifts Landon's head from her lap and places it on the ground, confusing both the sheriff and the blonde witch, before she stood up and headed in the direction Dr Saltzman and Josie had went in.

"I'm gonna go and see where they all are," Hope says, stopping and turning to face Matt, "just, stay here with him, he shouldn't be alone."

The auburn-haired girl disappears into the trees and follows the sound of Josie and Kaleb's voices, before she stops a small distance away from them. She made sure to stay behind a tree, so they couldn't see her, but she could see them. Kaleb was crouched down on the ground next to MG whose arm was covered in blood from where the werewolf had bitten him. Josie stood next to her father, holding onto his arm, whether it was for warmth or comfort, Hope didn't know. She took a deep breath before coming out from behind the tree and clearing her throat to make her presence known to the other four.

"Hope, I'm so sorry," MG apologises, the sound of his voice making it evident that the infection from the bite was spreading though his body.

"How could you?" The tribrid asks, looking down at Mg, another wave of tears following her words.

"Hope, please," Kaleb turns to the youngest Mikaelson, "he needs your blood, or he'll die."

"You mean like Landon died?" She cries, "he killed Landon, why should I help him?"

"Hope," Alaric speaks up, "you're the only way he can survive this."

"No, I'm not doing it," Hope refuses.

"If you don't, he'll die," the teacher tries to convince her. "If you do, he'll survive, and he'll have to live with what he's done."

"Hope, please," Kaleb pleads, now holding his friend up as he became weaker.

"Fine," Hope gives in and holds her hand out Alaric. The teacher hands over a pocketknife that he had brought with him and Hope takes it to cut open her wrist as she kneels next to MG. The vampire looks at Hope before drinking the blood pouring from her wrist, letting out a sigh as he feels the infection being cured.

"Thank you," MG sighs in relief and pushes himself up.

"Stay the hell away from me," Hope tells him, eyes filled with hurt and betrayal. "You can spend the rest of the summer at the school."

Hope slowly starts walking back towards where she had left Lizzie and Sheriff Donovan with Landon's body, Josie quietly following behind her. Their pace quickened when they hear Lizzie yell a loud "Hope!" The two of them begin running towards the noise and find Matt and Lizzie stood a few feet away from Landon's body, which now had smoking rising from it.

"What happened?" Hope asks, freezing when she sees her boyfriend's body engulf in flames.

"I don't know, I tried using my magic to stop it, but it didn't work," Lizzie explains quickly, as Dr Saltzman and the two vampires appear behind Hope.

Hope whispers a quick spell to try and put the fire out, but instead the flames just get bigger.

"Stop," Alaric grabs Hope's wrist as she's about to do another spell, "you could make it worse, let's just see what happens."

They all do as Dr Saltzman tells them and watches the fire, quickly taking a step back as the flames grow, before dying down and leaving behind Landon's body covered in a hard layer of ash.

"What the-?" Matt mutters, watching the ash crack, underneath his foster son's dead body. Slowly, the ash crumbles and Landon stands up, his hair a dark grey and clothes dusty from the ash.

"What just happened?" Landon asks, once he's regained his balance.

"Ever heard of the legend of the phoenix?" Dr Saltzman questions.

Landon's brow furrows in confusion, but before he can respond Hope recovers from her shock and launches herself into his arms. Her arms immediately wrap around his neck and she stands on her toes with her head buried in the crook of his neck.

"I thought you were dead," she whispers shakily, trying to hold back her tears.

"What are you talking about?" Landon asks, looking up to Matt.

"You died," Josie tells him. "MG lost control and killed you."

Hope pulls away from her boyfriend, so Matt can hug him, but stays close and never lets her eyes leave his body. Matt holds Landon close, his hand on the back of his head, similar to the way he'd hold a young child.

"I'm so glad you're okay," Matt mumbles to his foster son.

"We should get out of here," Hope says to the group as a wolf howls in the distance.

"Kaleb, get MG back to the school, I'm going to stay out here and try to find the wolves," Alaric tells the young vampire, before turning to his daughters, "you two get inside, either go back to Hope's place, or go back to the school. But be safe."

Lizzie and Josie follow their dad's orders and head back towards the boarding school, the same way Kaleb and MG had gone.

"You two go back to Hope's place," Matt tells the two teenagers that are left. "I'm gonna make sure the wolves don't hurt anyone. We'll talk about what happened and what it all means once we've all had some sleep."

"Okay," both Hope and Landon nod and head in the direction of Hope's car, Hope holding onto her boyfriend's hand with a vice like grip as they go.

The End

So, that's the end. A few people have said that they want a sequel, so I will be making. Not quite sure when it will be up, but definitely by early January if not sooner.
