'It feels like every day is filled with its own excitement.' I thought as I looked at the new monster of the day who just happened to be Rick's dead almost-wife. 'But if it is Jo, then this monster is the Necromancer.'

"So that's your dead fiancé?"

"No, Jo died 16 years ago."

"Okey man, you have a party to attend to in an hour or so, I will keep an eye on her."

"Just make sure she survive this time, Okay?"

A knock on the door interrupted our conversation.

"Dad? Why is the door locked?" It was Lizzie. 'just great.' I thought, as Jo whispered "Dad?"

"And when were you going to tell us moon isn't coming back?" It was Josie this time 'Even fucking better.'

"I was about to, there is a strike at the airport in Mozambique." Even I could tell it's a lie

"She couldn't compel a pilot and hop on a private jet?" Lizzie asked

"She will explain everything later, Okay? But right now I just need you to go because I'm-"

"Having a hot naked gay sex with me, Easton Magus!"

"What?!" The girls said at the same time.

"Screw You!" Rick said without a voice, Jo looked shocked with what I said

"Y-Yes that's right, please go."

"Okay, I almost believed you, but Dad can't lie." Josie said and opened the door a moment later by siphoning the magic.

"You really need to get better at lying Rick." I said

"Who is that trollop?" Lizzie said.

"I can explain, but you need to go for right now." Rick said to his daughters, before turning to me "and I would have been better at it if you would have said something less outrageous!"

"No you wouldn't." Josie said

"I'm sorry, how old are you?" She said

"16." The twins said together "Today?" Jo asked. "It's our birthday." Lizzie said

"You are twins!" Jo said in shock.

"What are we interrupting here?" Lizzie asked

"I'm serious, just do as I say and now just go." Rick said, but I could see Josie figured out what is going on.

"Lizzie!" "What?" "Lizzie, It's her." "Her who?"

"Okay, this dramatic reveal is not for me." I said "She figured it out Rick, girls, this is your biological mother."

"This is impossible!" Jo said "I wasn't even showing yet!"

"Your family's crazy coven magically planted them into Caroline when you died! She's their birth mother."

"Caroline? Then you and her?"

"No, she married Stefan Salvatore, who basically died in their wedding day as well, but that's a whole other story."

"They are still very close." Lizzie butted in

"We opened this school together."

"She's over sea right now, doing very important recruiting work. I'm Lizzie, after my mother's mom."

"And I'm Josie, Jossette, like-" "me"

After last night, I was not in the mood for this.

"And I'm Easton Magus, and she's not your real dead mother, but a monster. Now go away, get ready to the party which a kid who spent 12 years wishing for one never got" I said bitterly, while I didn't really care for one, them crying over what they didn't have was not making me cheerful.

"What, you started wishing for one at the age of 6?" Lizzie said sarcastically.

"I don't know, the years before the day Caroline found me were blurry, and with the curse my records seem to not exist so I'm not really sure how old I am, now go."

"Will you still be here after?" Josie asked as Lizzie walked away to which Jo nodded.

"Well, I will be there." Rick said

When they left Rick turned to me "Was it that necessary?"

"I'm not in the mood today Rick."

"What happened?"

"Not something I will talk about near a monster."

"I'm not a monster! And stop talking as if I'm not here."

"There are two real options right now lady, the forest is that you are a creature who use the face and memories of Rick's loved ones."

"Well I'm not, what's the next option?"

"That something brought a 16 years old corpse back to life with the purpose of getting the knife, which means you are a part of a much more elaborate scam."

Rick seemed to be angry at the situation either way.

"So I'm going to have to ask Rick to go have fun with his daughters, and then do some tests."

"No black magic!" Rick warned.

"Don't worry Rick, I'm gonna use my specialty- alchemy."

"Alchemy isn't real." Jo said after Rick left.

"It used to be, then a kid who no one could remember for more then a moment had too much of a free time and vualá."

"I wanted to ask you, is the name Diana rings any bells to you?" She asked as I opened my Grimory

"No, why?"

"Because not only do you remind me of her, but you also has the same family name."

"Well, it's probably a coincidence." I said, preparing to cast the spell.

"Yes, either way you are too old to be her son." She said, making me lose focus.

One of my biggest questions in this life is who are my biological parents, not because of love, but because bloodlines in this world has meaning.

At the very least, witches bloodlines even if weak have covens, and those covens have secret magic books.

"How old was her son supposed to be?"

"17." She said, and my hand started to shake.

My time as a wolf for 3 years made my body grow older faster, so even if I look 21, my real age is 17.

"Oh, and what was she? A witch?"

"My cousin, actually." And that was it, I decided to change destiny for more then just Hope, giving Jo a chance to live would hopefully get me the secret Grimorys that the Gemini coven had and let me change the story, of course, it will also cause side effects.

"Shit, ok, fine! Be quiet!" I said, regaining my focus and chanting the spell, which made my Grimory bigger as two more pages of information were added.

"What does this spell do?" She asked intrigued.

"Magic." I said sarcastically, as I read the information the book presented me.

As I already studied basic necromancy before, this was understandable if much more complicated.

"Necromancer, I want to cut a deal." I said, looking at Jo.

"Who are you talking to?" Jo asked

"You teach me your brand of magic to its full extent, and I give you the knife."

"You got yourself a deal." A voice came out of her which wasn't hers, her eyes became white and I felt magic binge my self to the agreement.

"We meet at the grounds of the school in one hour."

"Agreed." The voice said and Jo seemed to return to herself.

"What happened?"

"Nothing important." I said, taking the knife from the safe and putting an illusion of it in its place.

"I need to go, if Rick comes tell him it's option B and to not let you out."

and with that I was gone.

When you have a magical deal with someone, the most important part is to make sure you have no loop holes, but the almost as important part, is never go back on the deal.

Which was why I was confident about the Necromancer won't be able to harm me until we finish the deal, and with him only wanting the knife right now, I didn't fear him attacking afterwords.

"So you want to be an acolyte of The Necromancer?" He asked, looking incredibly egomaniac with the way he spread his arms.

"No, I want to finalize our deal." I said, I could make fun of him being a Necromancer, but I wasn't in the mood.

"Fine, find. How do you want to do it? Should I transfer the knowledge into your mind?"

"Hell no!" I said "if you can transfer knowledge into things put it in my book." I said, taking out my Grimory.

"I can only transfer knowledge into the minds of things with spirits." He said

"Well then, I guess we stick to writing, just explain as you do so- go ahead." I gave him my Grimory and a pen.

"That's why I only deal with dead people mostly." He grumbled

"Don't worry, to sweeten the deal I will tell you I'm close to finding out how to kill Malivor."

"That's great! An acolyte of mine, the great Necromancer! defeater of the black Gollum of true death!"

I rolled my eyes. "Just start writing."

'this is going to be a long night.'

Hope's POV

"Dr. Saltsman, what's going on?"

The last 24 hours were amazing and exhausting.

The kiss with Landon made me feel exhilarated, it was all I could think about, which was why I was late to my meeting with Tony, who by the time I remembered and answered the phone that was on mute, was tired and not enthusiastic about it as much as I was, which was understandable, I kept him waiting for half an hour after a day with 3 classes and a meeting with a Dryad, so, instead I wished him a good night in the phone and went to bed, only I couldn't sleep!

Whether it's Landon's eyes or his mouth, every time I tried to sleep I seemed to remember them.

Which was why, after a few hours of restless sleep, I woke and was searching for Tony, who apparently, was busy.

Feeling like I'm going crazy with my inability to talk about Landon, I went to the person to talk to in the school about problems- Emma.

And of course, her advice was to find a friend to talk to, where on earth is Tony?

Deciding Raphael was as good as any, and that he probably also need someone to talk too, I approached him, apologizing on the way about sending Landon.

Long story short, I ended up helping Raph with learning how to be a good date in a party because he was taking the biggest prat in this school, the birthday girl, Lizzie.

Something that went fine until I heard he slept with her.

In less than two minutes Raphael was about to walk out of the door only to find a barrier spell was put on the entire gym.

Where on earth was Tony when you need him?

It took an hour for the barrier down, an hour in which many insults were traded.

I called him a slut, he called me friendless, I said I had Tony, he said being friends with the teacher is even sadder.

In the end, Raphael went to his room the moment the shields went down to get ready, and I did the same if only to prove I have friends.

Only on the way the party I found Rick with someone in his arms.

"I need your help, a monster has the power to resurrect people and has managed to kidnap Josie."

"Where is Tony?"

"I have no idea, but when I do find him I'm gonna kick his ass."

'Tony, where are you?'

"You are gonna help the moon wearing that?" The voice of Penelope reached my ears as I searched for Josie, looking toward her i saw MG was with her.

"Sorry, no time for bitchy banter." I stopped "actually, I could use your help finding Josie."

The smirk disappeared from her face, changing to a serious look. "What happened?"

"Apparently her possessed resurrected biological mom kidnapped her and buried her in the cemetery."

"We are coming with you!" Said MG, as they started going

Rick's POV

Getting to my office, I see Damian and Emma there.

"Don't try to stop me!" I said, going to the safe, only to find it open and empty.

"Where is it?" I demanded to know

"We don't know, it wasn't here when we came."

"But who could it be? Only faculty members..."

"Tony." Emma said

"But why? What does he get from it?"

"He didn't seem fine all day actually." Emma said "Did he say anything?"

"He was really snappy at the twins and said he's having a bad day." Rick said

"Maybe the monster killed him and then resurrected him!" Damien said

"But then why kidnap Josie?" Rick asked

"As a distraction." Damien answered.

"Emma, do a location spell, search for Tony and try to stop him, I have to go search for my daughter!"

'Please be fine Josie.'

"And that's how you really resurrect people." The Necromancer said as he finished writing the instructions.

"Well, that was educating, take the knife and go."

"Goodbye my acolyte, and I will give you a piece of information in return, your friends are at the graveyard, and just fine, you should go to the headmaster's office."

"No!" I heard from behind me "Don't do it Tony!"

But it was too late, the Necromancer took the knife and disappeared.

"Come quickly, we still have time to save them all."

MG's POV

Fighting zombies wasn't what I had in mind for tonight.

I was preparing for Lizzie finally noticing me, not for Raphael to steal the show.

But Josie is a friend, and she's in trouble, so I have to find her.

"MG, this is not a joke, use your hearing." Hope said right after she axed a zombie, and all I wanted to say to her was 'change into your wolf form and smell her!' But instead I said "I can't, there is too much noise."

"Ignore it then." Hope said "pretend you are on a beach."

And I tried, instead of searching for knocking a searched for a beating, and suddenly I could hear her heart.

"Found her!" I said as I used vampire speed to run toward the sound, ripping the ground on arrival.

A hand came out and when pulled Josie came with it, breathing hard.

"The talisman." He heard Hope say from behind him "it worked."

"What was it supposed to do?"

"Give voice to the quiet."

The girls had a very touching moment, but all I could think about was 'I'm a superhero!'

This wasn't how I planned the day, but maybe it is better.

Easton's POV

"I can save her!" I said, coming to the office holding my Grimory like it's the holy bible.

"Tony, what on earth did you do?" Rick demanded "you were supposed to keep an eye on her and instead you steal the knife? My daughter almost died."

"She would have been fine," I answered "the Necromancer was just messing with you." A punch which I saw coming but took anyway was all I got in return.

"You think it's funny? Is this all a game to you? It's Josie's life!" Rick yelled

"A game? No, not a game at all." I said "I just had to do it."

"Why? Did he kill you? Does he make you do it? This knife, it will unleash Malivor, is that what you want?"

Feeling a little bit emotional as well I outburst "I did it because there are two more keys to unlock Malivor, and because I need everyone to be happy before I destroy Malivor."

"You know how to destroy the pit? Then why do you need everyone to be happy before you do so?" Rick asked

"Because a sacrifice will need to be made for it to happen." I snapped "Now let me save your almost woods before She dies again, this time for good." I started drawing quickly on the floor before using as much dark magic as possible while holding my Grimory, reading the 'resurrected human slave' spell.

Just as I was done and then of my magic vs the dark magic started in my body, the doors were opened with a group coming in.

"Not a word to Hope" I said in a demonic voice as she came in.

"Tony." She exclaimed "what happened?"

"He used black magic to make sure Jo is freed from the monster's control and alive." I could hear Rick say "we need to take him down to the cellars."

"The cellars? We need to take him to the infirmary!"

"He has too much black magic in him, if it takes control we need him in a magical strengthened place."

"MG, please."

"Right away Dr Saltsman." I heard the young vampire said and won't became my new enemy.

"Thank you MG, now I need you to lock me up and leave until the morning, the next few hours will be dangerous to anyone near."

"I will make sure to tell everyone." He said as the doors became locked and I let the black magic transform me to a wolf.

This is going to be a long night.
