Two days have gone by since that night I got that message from Callista. She hasn't sent another message since and as far as I know, I haven't met her yet. I've tried to talk to Tyler but he's been giving me the silent treatment since Miss Mystic Falls.
Caroline and the others discovered that Elena is sired to Damon. On top of that, Jeremy's hunter instinct is to kill every vampire he sets his eyes on. Right now, it's on Elena and she's currently living in the Salvatore House now which made Stefan move out. Leave it to Mystic Falls to never have a dull moment.
I was busy getting ready in the bathroom when my phone started to ring. I set the brush down and picked up my phone. I sighed seeing 'Caroline' on the caller ID.
"Yes Care?" I answered as I walked out of the bathroom.
"Where are you? You're supposed to be helping set up the Winter Wonderland Charity event." Caroline demanded.
"I'm just now leaving." I said and grabbed my car keys on the dresser. "Remember, I'm not helping with this for you Care. Carol basically told me it's another founding family mandatory event."
"I'm serious about trying to be friends again, Allye. How about this. If you come to the charity event of your own free will, not because you're a Hale, then I'll talk to Tyler." I stopped halfway down the stairs hearing that.
"You promise?" I asked.
"I promise as your friend I will get Tyler to talk to you tonight. You guys can work out whatever happened between the two of you."
"Fine. You got a deal." I answered.
"Great! See you tonight!" Caroline hung up. I shook my head and put my phone in my pocket.
I walked down the rest of the stairs and headed to the art studio. Nik was finishing up the piece he made for the charity event.
"That looks a little dark." I spoke up seeing the painting.
"It's an expression of postmodernism." Nik answered me and did one last brush stroke before turning to me.
"If you say so. Looks like a snowflake to me which is fitting. I'm off to the event right now. Caroline just called me saying I'm late." Nik rolled his eyes at my earlier comment.
"I shouldn't be too far behind you. Anymore words from Callista?" Nik asked curiously.
I shook my head, "Nothing since Miss Mystic Falls. For all I know, I've already met her and didn't know it. They didn't exactly have Instagram back in Ancient Greece so no idea what she looks like." I said sarcastically.
Nik set down his paintbrush and sauntered over to me. "No, they didn't but I think Callista would make her presence known if you did meet her." Nik put an arm around my waist and pulled me into him.
"After all, that's what I did." Nik said, smirking.
"True." Nik leaned down and captured me in a loving kiss.
"Ahem." We broke the kiss and I turned my head to see Stefan standing there.
I could feel the annoyance coming from Nik and his expression on his face right now matched it.
"I'll take that as my queue to leave. I'll see you later." I said and got out of Nik's embrace.
Stefan made eye contact with me as I walked out of the art studio and out the front door.
I got into my car and spotted Adrian walking into the house. Nik must have called him. I put the keys in the ignition and started the car and drove off the driveway.
I was walking around the park and the Winter Wonderland event was in full swing. People were in the park area with fake snow everywhere. Kids were running and throwing fake snow at each other.
I caught the eye of Carol and she excused herself from the group she was with. I gave a polite smile as she walked over.
"Allye, I'm glad you could make it." I nodded.
"Well I am a Hale afterall. Speaking of which, have you seen Derek or Cora?" I asked.
"I just saw Derek not too long ago. He should be over there." Carol said and pointed in a direction.
"Thank you, have fun tonight Carol." I said.
"You as well, Allye." I smiled and nodded before walking in the direction Carol pointed at.
I easily spotted Derek who was standing next to Megan. Oh those two are definitely becoming a thing now.
"Hey guys." I greeted. Derek and Megan turned to me and Megan smiled.
"Hey Al. You look nice and Christmas-ee." Megan complimented. I was wearing my black boots with black slacks and a dark green silk top with the necklace Nik got me.
"I was told it was formal wear for today. Where's Cora?" I asked mainly Derek and looked around.
"She didn't want to come today. She doesn't want to chance running into Tyler." Derek answered.
"Ah. Makes sense." I said, nodding.
"Allye!" I turned my head to see Caroline approaching us.
"Hey Care." Megan greeted her and the two of them hugged.
"You missed girls night, Megan." Caroline scolded after breaking the hug.
"Sorry, I had other plans that night." I raised and eyebrow at that and looked between Megan and Derek. Caroline caught onto that.
"Wait. What's going on between you two?" Caroline asked. I walked over to Caroline's side and crossed my arms.
"Yeah, what exactly is going on brother?" I asked.
"Um we're uh…" Megan stuttered.
"We went on a date last night, alright?" Derek answered.
"I knew it! I knew Derek was acting weird for a reason." I said with a large grin.
"So are you guys officially dating?" Caroline asked.
Megan blushed, "Yes."
"Oh my god, that is so cute. We'll leave you two alone then." Caroline said with a smile and took me by my arm.
"Grats you two. I'll see you guys later." I said and followed Caroline.
"They make a cute couple. I guess falling for blondes runs in your family." I stopped and gave Caroline a look.
"Care." I warned her.
"Okay, okay. I'll stop. I spoke to Tyler." I perked up my head hearing that.
"And?" I trailed off.
"He said he'd be willing to hear you out one time." I took a deep breath.
"Okay, where is he?" I asked.
"I don't know, I lost him in the crowd." Caroline looked behind me and huffed.
I turned around to see Nik standing by the Grill and looking at our direction.
"Why is he here?" Caroline asked with bitterness in her tone.
"Believe it or not, but he donated an art piece he made for the charity event to be auctioned off." I told her.
"You're right, I don't believe it. Especially for charity, I don't take Klaus as the charitable type." I rolled my eyes.
"Think about what you want Care. Text me if you find Tyler, okay?" Caroline's gaze softened and she nodded.
I walked away from Caroline and headed over to where Nik was standing.
"That looked like a pleasant conversation." Nik said as I got closer to him. He had his dress shoes and pants on with a white collar shirt and black blazer over it.
"Just Caroline being Caroline." I said. I walked up to Nik and gave him a quick kiss on the lips.
He intertwined our hands and led me into the Grill where the auctions were taking place.
The Grill was busy with people looking at different items up for auction. The servers were handing out appetizers and champagne for the guests.
"So where is yours at?" I asked Nik. He grabbed two glasses of champagne as a server walked by.
"Right this way, love." He gestured with one hand holding a glass and gave me one.
His painting was sitting on an easel on the upper level of the Grill.
"Mm, still looks like a snowflake to me." I could feel Nik's eyes roll at this point.
"Is my work really that literal?" He asked and gave me a look.
I shrugged, "I told you, I am not exactly an art connoisseur. Wrong Hale. That was all Laura." I reminded him. I took a sip of my champagne when I heard my phone go off.
I grabbed my phone from my pocket and saw it was a text from Caroline.
"I found Tyler."
"What is it?" Nik asked.
"It's not Callista if that's what you're wondering. Caroline is helping me out with Tyler. I need to talk to him. Enjoy the event, I'll be back." I set the champagne glass down and went to leave. I felt Nik gently grab my arm.
"Be careful, love." I turned around and gave Nik a loving kiss before pulling back.
"I'll be fine. It's Tyler. He's not going to hurt me." Nik let go of my arm and I walked out of the Grill.
I stood at the entrance of the Grill and scanned the crowd. I was looking to spot Caroline but then my eyes landed on Tyler. We made eye contact. He started to walk through the crowd and I followed suit.
I followed him away from the rest of the crowd and he turned a corner of a building. I turned around the same corner seconds later and stopped to see Tyler standing there.
"Care says you want to talk." Tyler started out.
I nodded, "Yeah, I do. I saw that look you gave me at the Miss Mystic Falls pageant. I'm not trying to burn bridges, Ty as you so kindly put it. I'm protecting the one I love, it's nothing different from any of you."
"It is different because it's Klaus. Have you forgotten all the horrible things he's done? The saying is love makes you blind for a reason, Al." Tyler retorted.
I scoffed, "This again? Tell me, what makes Stefan, Damon, Elena, and even Caroline different from Nik? They've all killed people and enjoyed it. Hell, even me Ty. I have killed more than you know and I enjoyed everything about it. The hunt, the kill. We're all monsters, Ty." Tyler clenched his jaw and shook his head.
"Well he's the bigger monster. He's taken everything. He took away my freedom, my town, and you. I'm not letting him take anything else." I furrowed my brows in confusion.
"What are you talking about, Ty?" I asked.
Tyler gave me a solemn look, "Sorry, Al. This is for your own good." I felt a sharp pain in my neck before my world went dark.
My vision was hazy as I started to slowly open my eyes. From what I could tell I was in a very old building. My head hurt like hell and my entire body felt like a featherweight. I saw two feet come into view. I weakly lifted my head up to see Tyler.
"Ty?" My voice sounded hoarse.
"Take it easy, Al. We gave you a large dose of wolfsbane, you're not going anywhere for a couple of hours." Tyler said and knelt down to me as I shakingly propped myself up with one arm.
"We?" I looked behind Tyler and saw all of the Hybrids standing there.
"We can't let you interfere with our plans." I gave a confused look to Tyler.
"What plans?" I asked.
"To get rid of Klaus." A familiar voice came from behind me. I slowly turned my head to see Hayley. I didn't even have the strength to let out a growl seeing her.
"Who's the Omega now?" Hayley taunted with a smirk.
I shook my head, "You can't kill him, Ty. He'll kill you before you get the chance." I told him.
"Not like how he is now. There's a witch that will perform the Body Jump spell to move his soul to a new body. A mortal one." My eyes widened hearing the plan.
"Ty, no. Please don't do this." I begged.
"Too late, Al. It's happening tonight." I hear the sound of chains moving and felt chain cuffs lock onto my wrists.
"Just in case the wolfsbane wears off sooner than expected." I heard Hayley's voice. The Hybrids left followed by Hayley and then lastly, Tyler. They closed the door behind them and I laid my head down. I'm not even strong enough to howl. I feel so helpless right now.
No One's P.O.V
The sun was down and the moon was rising with the night sky above Mystic Falls. Derek was walking around the park looking for someone.
"Derek, what's wrong?" Megan asked who was next to Derek.
"I just got a bad feeling in my gut. Have you seen Allye?" Derek asked, looking down to his date.
Megan shook her head, "Not since about an hour ago. Klaus is supposed to be here. She's probably with him."
"Then we need to find Klaus." Derek said and headed off in a direction with Megan behind him.
Derek and Megan came across a clearing where he saw Klaus talking to Stefan Salvatore. Derek started to push himself through the crowd but was too late. Klaus walked off with one of his Hybrids leaving Stefan standing alone.
"Hey." Stefan turned to Derek, "You're Stefan right? Damon's brother." Derek asked.
"Yeah, I am. You must be Derek. Allye's brother. Damon told me about you." Stefan said.
"Speaking of my sister. Have you seen her? We haven't seen her since an hour ago and she wasn't with Klaus just now." Derek asked.
Stefan shook his head, "No, I haven't seen her." Derek gave him a look and took a step closer to Stefan.
"Let me rephrase that. Do you know where Allye is?" Derek asked dangerously as his eyes glowed a brilliant blue.
Stefan remained silent and Derek grabbed Stefan by the collar of his shirt.
"Derek!" Megan whispered harshly.
"Where is she?" Derek asked with anger clearly in his voice.
"Stefan, please. If you know where Allye is, tell us." Megan begged.
Stefan forced Derek's hands off him and sighed, "She's safe. Tyler took her to an abandoned barn on the Lockwood property. She needed to be out of the way for their plan." Megan gave Stefan a puzzle look.
"What plan, Stefan?" Megan asked.
"Tyler and the other Hybrids planned on taking Klaus out tonight. They have a witch that's going to Body Jump his soul to another to get rid of him. Allye would have stopped the plan. Tyler assured us that he wasn't going to harm her." Stefan answered honestly.
Derek's jaw tensed and without another word, took off from the town's park.
Megan stood there shaking her head, "Seriously, is Allye not allowed to be happy?" Megan asked Stefan.
Stefan opened his mouth to talk, "Don't." Megan cut him off, "I have heard every excuse in the book from all of you about Klaus. I don't see a difference, Stefan. You're a Ripper. You've killed countless people. What makes you any better than Klaus?" Stefan said nothing and down casted his eyes to the ground.
"Exactly. You're not any better. Allye loves him and he loves her. Allye has been through so much. She lost her entire family at only twelve years old. Derek and Cora are all that she has left. If anyone in this damn town deserves to be happy it's Allye." Megan said spitefully. She left Stefan standing there as she followed behind Derek.
Allye's P.O.V
My strength was starting to come back which means the wolfsbane injected into my bloodstream is wearing off. I gripped the chains in my hands and tried to tug them off the floor.
I took a deep breath and pulled with all of my current strength.
"Come on. Budge." I grunted out. I let go and my muscles ached telling me they weren't at full strength yet.
"Allye!" I froze hearing Derek's voice outside.
"Derek?!" I yelled back. Seconds later the barn door was kicked off its hinges and Derek came running in and Megan right behind him.
"Thank god you're okay." Megan said out of relief. Derek walked over to me and held out my hands.
He easily broke off the chain cuffs off each wrist then pulled me into a hug. I returned the hug and held onto Derek.
"I'm okay Derek." I reassured him.
"I'm going to kill that Lockwood brat." Derek growled out as he let go of the hug.
"No you're not. I promised Mason I would look after him." I told Derek.
"Then Allye, you might want to stop Klaus. If their plan failed, Klaus knows exactly who the mastermind of this plan was." My heart stopped for a second, she was right.
"Where would they even be?" Derek asked. A light bulb went off in my head.
"Where else? The Old Lockwood Cellars." I ran off with Derek and Megan right behind me. All three of us shifted and were now werewolf running to the direction of the cellars.
I came to a sudden stop when blood hit my nose. I stood up and shifted back. "Do you smell that?" Megan asked.
"Blood. And a lot of it." Derek answered.
We slowly walked forward and my breath hitched in my throat seeing eleven dead Hybrids. Either their heads were chopped off or their hearts were laying on the ground.
"Oh my god." Megan whispered. Horror etched onto her face.
"Looks like Klaus found out what they were planning." Derek summarized.
I walked past the dead bodies and walked towards the entrance to the cellars. I went down the steps and stopped seeing the Hybrid known as Kimberly dead on the floor with her severed head away from her body.
My eyes caught a coffin sitting in the middle of the room. I walked over to it and opened it to reveal Rebekah laying in it.
"They were holding you hostage." I whispered to myself. I pulled out the silver dagger and set it on top of the coffin that wasn't open.
With that done, I headed back up the stairs where Derek and Megan were still looking at the scene.
"I found Rebekah down there. Looks like Stefan and the others were holding her as a bargaining chip." I stated.
"I don't see Tyler in any of this carnage. He wasn't here when it happened." Derek told me.
"Maybe he got away then?" Megan guessed.
"If that's the case then Nik is going to search for him and he won't stop until he's dead. I need to find Nik before he does that." I urged.
"Go ahead. I'm going to report this to the Sheriff's office. We need to get these bodies out of here before someone else stumbles upon this." Derek said.
I nodded and took off, tracking Nik's scent as I ran.
I walked into the now empty town square. I froze seeing Nik who just let go of Carol Lockwood. She was face down in the fountain.
"Nik." He slowly turned around to face me. His face and front of his shirt was covered in blood.
"What did you do?" I said softly.
"Tyler betrayed me. I couldn't find him so I took away what he had left." Nik said coldly. This wasn't the Nik I knew, this was the Klaus I first met in Mystic Falls.
"Carol was innocent, Nik. She had no part in what Tyler did." I argued.
"You're defending Tyler now?" Nik accused with anger laced in his voice.
"I'm not defending Tyler for what he did. What he did was wrong, he knocked me out and took me away from here because he knew I would try to stop him. I'm defending Carol. I follow a code, Nik. A code that says you don't harm innocent people." Nik rolled his eyes.
"I'm not you, Allye. I don't have to follow a code. I follow my own rules! I tried to play by yours. I tried to be different to my Hybrids but that did nothing! If I had done this my way, they would have never betrayed me! They would be too frightened to do so!" Nik yelled.
I shook my head in disbelief, "Don't you dare try to pin this on me. I was in the dark just as much as you were about this. I gave you that advice because you asked for my help." I argued.
"Well maybe that's where I went wrong." Nik said lowly. My chest twinge with pain hearing that.
Hurt was quickly replaced with anger, "Fine. Push me away. That's what you do best anyway, Klaus." I ignored the hurt look on Nik's face. I ripped the necklace off my neck and threw it to the floor.
I didn't say another word and stormed off. Leaving Nik by himself in the town square.
I ran through the forest and eventually came to a stop and leaned against a tree. Silent tears rolled down my face as I slowly slid down the trunk of the tree. I tucked my legs up to my chest and wrapped my arms around them.
The anger faded away not longer after I left Nik standing in the town square. Now it just hurts. He pushed me away again and off handedly blamed me for his hybrids betraying him. That's what hurt the most. I leaned my head back against the trunk of the tree and stared at the starry night sky.
"Beautiful night. Isn't it?" I quickly stood up in the direction of the new voice.
In front of me was a woman with long wavy brown hair, hazel eyes, and wearing dark jeans, a purple button shirt and a denim jacket. The woman radiated power off of her. I instantly knew who this was.
"Callista." I whispered.
Callista smiled, "It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Allye."
I skipped over the "We Always Have Bourbon Street" episode mainly because that was majorly a Damon and Stefan episode. The next four episodes that follow after this one will be meshed together. I've decided to just post the rest of the chapters since we're close to the ending of AMF. I'm not too, too far into the Originals but I'll probably post the first two chapters tomorrow.
In other words, Allye has finally met Callista. Unfortunately it could have been under better circumstances. We get to see the other Klaus come out and kill Carol for what Tyler did. Allye did not agree with Klaus's decision and goes against the code she was taught to follow. Klaus once again hurts Allye and pushes her away. Just like how Damon warned Klaus, he pushed Allye too much this time and she left.
