Hope's eyes flutter open and her head is pounding. She looks around to find herself in the damp Lockwood cellar. Hope stands up and shakily walks towards the gates and chants "motis!" The bars don't move and she nervously looks back down at her hands and chants again. "Motis!" The bars still don't move and Hope begins to rattle the bars. "What the hell is happening!" Katherine emerges from the shadows and laughs. "A simple locator spell and a transport spell was enough to drain you of your magic for a few hours. Kind of pathetic. Your supposed to be the all mighty tribrid! You make the tribrid species look so bad." Hope looks over at Katherine and rolls her eyes. "I'm the original tribrid. All I'm doing is making myself look bad. Now please let me out!" Katherine walks up to the bars and puts a strand of Hope's hair behind her ear. "Aw sweetie. You really think your the original hybrid.? You shouldn't flatter yourself." Hope looks at Katherine confused and Katherine sighs. With the flick of the wrist Katherine puts a ring of fire around Hope and then snuffs it out. She pulls a stake out of her thigh high boots and plunges it into her heart. "What are you doing! Even heretics can die," gasps Hope. Katherine pulls the stake out after her body begins to desecrate and sets it on fire. She then pulls down her red shirt sleeve to reveal the crescent wolf birthmark. "Now Hope, you were born in 2012 if your Uncle Kol's information was correct. And I was born May 8, 1319 as both a witch, and a werewolf. And I was turned in 1343 by Jonathan Rhodes. So I'm pretty sure that I'm the original tribrid." Hope's face drops and she is baffled. "That's impossible. Only my dad could make a tribrid," says Hope. "But who made your father? Esther did. Now let me tell you a story. When your family burnt the white oak tree to the ground, Esther new that the weapon was disposable and wouldn't work. And when your daddy unleashed his wolf side she knew that she created an even bigger monster. So how does one fix that problem? By creating an even bigger monster that kill the big monster! Your grandma set in motion a proficy saying that the first child born of both with and werewolf blood would survive transition. And then poof! I came into existence! The all mighty tribrid who can't be killed by any thing, not even fancy wood!"
Back at the Salvatore Boarding School
Alaric quickly closes the door to his office and his daughter Lizzie spells it shut. He looks back at his little rag tag group of both teenagers, and adults. Matt, Jeremy Gilbert, Alaric, and Damon Salvatore make up the adult faction, while Lizzie Saltzman, Josie Saltzman, and young Stephanie Salvatore make up the teenage faction. Matt looks at both Damon and then Stephanie and says "This is a rescue mission Damon, not a babysitting service." Damon glares at Matt and smugly replies with "I may not be a vampire anymore, but I can still snap your neck a third time." Stephanie sighs and looks over at her dad. "Dad, mom said no threatening the people you don't like because you can no longer compel your way out of jail." Jeremy laughs and Damon then scowls at him. "What are you laughing at Pocahontas? Don't you have a stake to polish or something?" Lizzie puts her hand to her head and shakes it. "You guys act like your five. I don't even understand why we need all these people to save one nineteen year old girl." "Because that nineteen year old girl is our friend Lizzie," snaps Josie. "Enough arguing! I have a game plan, so I need everyone to shut up and listen! screams Alaric. The room goes quiet and everyone is now attentive. "Thank you. Now here's the plan. Lizzie and Josie will preform two locator spells to find both Hope and Katherine." Damon's face goes white and he looks at Alaric. "Ric, I swear if you tell me that Katherine Pierce is rose from the dead and that my brother died for nothing, I'm going to destroy this entire school," shouts Damon. "It's not Katherine Pierce, trust me. This Katherine is what we believe to be a tribrid and she has Hope. So far we don't know how to kill her, but we have an idea on how to get Hope back. Damon and Matt, you both know this town and it's hiding places like the back of your hand. Once we find out where she is holding Hope I need you two to map out every possible exit. Jeremy, you will lead a group of both witches and vampires. The goal is not to kill her, but distract her long enough so that Hope can escape. And Stephanie, just sit back and observe. Got it?" "Sure Ric! Let's just go try to rescue mini Klaus from Katherine 2.0! What can go wrong?" Damon says sarcastically. Alaric rolls his eyes and motions for Lizzie and Josie to come near his desk. On the desk is a map of Mystic Falls, one of Hopes Grimoires, and Katherines name plate necklace. Lizzie take the necklace and Josie grabs the Grimoire and they begin to chant. "Phasmatos tribum, nas ex varas, sequitas, sanguinem. Phasmatos tribium, nas ex varas, sequitas, sanguinem." Both if their eyes go fully white and then return to normal. Lizzie looks over at Damon and Matt and tells them what she saw. "A stone cellar with bars near the entrance." Damon and Matt look at each other and run over to the map. "The Lockwood cellar. We all now that a little too well," says Damon. "After the entire Lockwood line died they boarded up most of the cellar except for the original entrance," explains Matt. Jeremy grabs a crossbow and slings it over his shoulder. "I should be there in ten minutes tops." Jeremy goes to walk out the door when Stephanie taps him on the shoulder. "Uncle Jeremy, please don't die." Jeremy chuckles and then says "Stephanie. I've died like a million times and each time I've been brought back to life. So if something does happen to me, I won't be gone for long." Jeremy walks out the room and closes the door behind.
Back at the Lockwood Cellar
Hope is still in shock after learning that she wasn't the only tribrid. She's sitting on the cellar floor looking blankly at the wall ahead of her while Katherine files her nails. Finally, Hope breaks the silence. "What do you want from me? To start a tribrid pack, cause I won't do it." "Contrary to popular belief, I don't want more tribrids. Two is more than enough. I am going to use you to destroy the one thing that can kill me," says Katherine. "All the white oak stake is gone. My dad and uncle Elijah used the last of it to..." Hope can't finish the sentence. Every time she has to talk about what happened she can never finish the story. But Katherine is more than willing to tell her how the story ends. "They used it to kill themselves to save you. I'm very well aware of that. Did you not pay attention when I said I couldn't die from fancy wood? You see Hope, I wasn't born a witch. I was born a syphoner. Just like a heretic I can syphon my vampirism as well as my werewolf side and thats how I can do magic no matter what. Now your pesky little grandmother made sure that I couldn't be to powerful so that she wouldn't have another problem on her hands. So she made sure that the only weapon that could kill me was myself. If I syphon to much magic from myself than I run the risk of syphoning off my vampirism and then poof, I die!" Before Hope can say anything the sound of chanting appears from above. Katherine glares at Hope and then smiles. "A rescue mission all for you! How sweet! You know what, I'm going to send you back to the boarding school and then kill everyone who came to rescue you!" "No please don't-." Before Hope can say anything else Katherine flicks her wrist and Hope is gone. She then grabs a diamond necklace around her neck and begins to syphon magic from it. Once she's done syphoning, she walks out of the cellar to see the group of teenage witches and vampires ahead of her and laughs. "Well what are you waiting for? Come and get me!" Katherine stands still as the witches begin to chant the word incendia. A fiery blast is directed towards her and she doesn't even flinch. Instead she holds her hands out and redirects the fire back at them, burning most of the witches. From the corner of her eye she can see three vampires running to get her from behind. She turns around and gets to all three of them before they can get to her. She bites one of them, putting her werewolf venom in their blood stream, and then rips the hearts out of the other two. The remains of the group look scared, even Jeremy. The last two vampires go to run, but Katherine catches up to them. With her boots, she kicks off one of their heads and rips out the other ones heart with her hand. All that's remains is four witches and Katherine begins to chant the paralysis spell. They are all frozen in place when she grabs each on of their hands and begins to syphon the magic out of them. She let's go and begins to chant one more time. Her necklace glows and the kids scream as their souls leave their bodies and travel into the necklace. They drop dead and all that is remaining is Jeremy. He pulls out his crossbow but Katherine was already expecting that. "Motis" she chants. The crossbow goes flying and it's just Jeremy. She runs towards him and decides that feeding on him would be the best way to go. But before she can, she looks into his eyes and sees something. Surprisingly, she let's go. "I'll give you one warning. Try and stop me again and there will be more dead bodies on your hand." Before Jeremy can say anything, she flicks her wrist and he's gone. Katherine slumps down on a nearby tree and dials a number on her phone. A man with an accent answers the phone and we all know it's Kol. "Kol, I need you to hold up your end of the bargain. I got you what you wanted and now it's time for you to pay up." "Now Katherine, I'm not letting you kill my niece. You just said that you need her to break the link between you and Esthers prophecy." "Well then explain that to her Kol. Because your not a vampire anymore, and that means your easy to kill. But I wouldn't want to leave baby Joshua and Ellie fatherless. Tell Davina I said hello!" Katherine hangs up the phone before Kol can say anything else and looks up at the sky. "I'm going to get you out. I promise."
Sorry I haven't posted, school just started so I've been busy. I just want to give a heads up and say that Kol will not be a villain and wants no harm to come to his niece. I plan on posting again either today or tomorrow. Thanks for reading!
