Hello again! I know it's been a good few months since the last time I've updated. I got caught up with my other story. But fear not, I'm going to continue on this story.
Klaus and Kol arrived on the doorstep on the Salvatore boarding house. Klaus rang the doorbell.
"Do you think they'll even answer it?" Kol asked.
"Of course they will," Klaus told him reassuringly. Stefan was the one to open the door. "I told you."
"Klaus. Kol. What do you two want?" Stefan asked them curiously.
The brothers pushed their way through to enter. "What we want to know is what is going on with these creatures." said Klaus.
"Oh great. Who invited Thing 1 and Thing 2?" said Damon.
"We invited ourselves over, mate," Kol told him. "So what do you know about these people walking around?"
"The walkers?" Stefan asked.
"Whatever you call them," Kol rolled his eyes.
"We don't know. All we know is this started last night. The cops were shooting these walkers, trying to kill them. The only way to kill them is to aim for the brain."
"But you don't know what started it exactly?" Klaus asked.
"No, Klaus. I wish I knew that answer."
Kol made himself a glass of scotch and plopped himself down on the couch.
"It's so nice to see you're comfortable," Damon told him with sarcasm.
"Always, mate," Kol smiled up at him. "We thought your witch might know something going on."
Bonnie's eyes widened a bit. "No, I don't know what's going. Are you sure you didn't do anything to start this?" she asked with a bit of an attitude.
"I like your sassiness," he smirked at her. She just rolled her eyes.
"A young girl named April Young was running through the woods until Elijah saved her," said Klaus. "She said if these walkers bite you then you turn into one of them. So what would happen if a vampire was to get bit?"
Everybody pondered that for a moment. "I don't know. But I don't want to find out," said Kol. "I just want to know how to get rid of them all."
"Hey wait a second," said Caroline getting everybody's attention. "If there isn't many humans left in town what are we going to do about feeding?"
"She's right," said Stefan. "Because our blood bags won't last us forever."
"Well we always have these humans here," Kol said smirking at Elena, Jeremy, Alaric, Bonnie and Matt.
"Touch me and I will locate the white oak stake and drive it into your black heart," Bonnie warned him.
"Kol, leave the little witch alone," Klaus told his brother. "We have more important matters to tend to. Like figuring out how this outbreak occurred. And how do we stop it."
"What if it can't be stopped?" Elena questioned. "What if all the humans are doomed to become this?"
"This has to be the work of a super virus," said Alaric. "It's the only possible explanation. People just don't turn into mindless cannibals."
The doorbell started ringing. Stefan went to answer it. Tyler was standing there with a baseball bat in his hand. There was blood on it.
"Tyler, are you okay?" Stefan asked him looking at the bat.
"Yeah I'm fine. Is everybody else here?" He entered the house to see all his friends and the Originals Klaus and Kol. He saw Caroline and smiled at her. They broke up a few months ago before this outbreak but told each other they would always care for one another.
"Did you take out some walkers?" Damon asked him.
"You mean those biters? Or whatever you call them? Hell yeah. Those things were all over my yard trying to get inside my house. I grabbed my bat and started knocking heads off. Apparently that's the only way to kill them. Are you all okay?"
Stefan nodded. "Yeah. We're fine. We're all trying to come up with a theory on how this all started."
"I say it was a super virus," Alaric told him.
"Or it could be the work of some real black magic," Bonnie said quietly. Everyone looked at her. "I mean anything's possible. A powerful witch created vampires. So who's to say one didn't create these walkers?"
"That's a good theory," Klaus told her. "The question is why would a witch create such devastation like this?"
"Maybe it's that time of the month," Kol said taking a sip of his drink.
"Really?" Bonnie griped at him.
He shrugged. "Mother nature's a bitch."
Back at the Mikaelson house April was sound asleep in the guest bedroom while Elijah and Rebekah stood out on the balcony watching these creatures.
"Do you suppose Nik and Kol made it safely?" Rebekah asked her brother with concern.
"I have positive faith in them so, yes, I believe they did," Elijah smiled at his sister.
Rebekah sighed. "How could the humans have turned into such creatures as these?"
"I believe this is the work of something dark. I just hope the young witch Bonnie Bennett can figure something out."
A walker had spotted the two vampires and made it way towards the house. This attracted more walkers. They all started gathering below the balcony trying to reach at them.
"Elijah, this frightens me. What if these things could kill us?"
"Rebekah, dear, only the white oak stake can truly kill us. I believe these things won't. But I don't know what a bite from one of these would do."
Rebekah trusted her brother but was still worried. She wanted answers. Going back inside she grabbed a gun and came back out.
"What are you doing with gun?" Elijah asked her.
"Putting a theory to the test." She aimed the gun at one of the walkers heads and pulled the trigger, killing it instantly. "Huh. Looks like killing the brain will kill these things."
"Sister, why do you have a gun? You know we do not need them."
"I know but you never know when one might come in handy."
A sleepy eyed April came running out onto the balcony. "What happened? Was someone shot?"
"I shot one of those creatures in the head," Rebekah told her.
"Why did you use a gun though?!" April asked in horror.
"Why is everyone against guns all of a sudden?"
"Because noise attracts these things! Now that you shot the gun off they're all gonna be heading this way!"
Rebekah had no idea. "Well excuse me for trying something out. It isn't no problem anyway. We can get past them if it comes to that."
April stared at her in confusion. "What are you talking about? It's gonna be hard getting through a big crowd of those things without getting bit or eaten. Unless you have some super human speed."
Rebekah and Elijah shared a look. They didn't wanna tell April their little secret. Not yet exactly.
"Why don't you just go lay back down," Elijah told her.
April looked nervous. "What if those things try to get inside?"
"They won't. I promise you." April didn't look too convinced but did as Elijah told her.
"If Nik and Kol aren't back by dark should we go over there?" Rebekah asked her brother.
Elijah sighed and ran his hand through his hair. "If we was to go over there we shouldn't wait til dusk. But April doesn't need to be out in this. The poor child is frightened."
"Well what if I just go instead? I'm just really worried for them. They've been gone for a few hours already."
Elijah turned towards his sister. He was proud that she was a loving, loyal sister. That's why he nodded in approval for her to go check on their brothers.
She smiled and gave him a hug. "I won't be gone long."
"Run the fastest you've ever ran in your life." She nodded and took off at speed that made her nearly invisible.
Elijah stood there to himself, all kinds of thoughts going through his mind. "Please be careful, Rebekah."
She arrived at the front door of the Salvatores home and rang the doorbell.
"Well if it isn't the blonde beauty herself," Damon said smirking at her.
She smirked back at him. "Are my brothers still here? I've come to check on them."
"Yeah they're still here."
She walked into the living room seeing her brothers and the Scooby gang of Mystic Falls. "So are you all trying to figure out about this whole mess?"
"Have you learned anything?" Alaric asked her.
"Well I learned that noise attracts these things."
"We already figured that out," Matt told her. She smiled seeing the quaterback.
"Where's Elijah?" Klaus asked.
"He's still at home. The April girl is asleep and he didn't want to get her out in this mess."
"Last time I checked nobody really invited you three," Damon pointed towards the vampire siblings.
"Oh shut up," Rebekah told him. "I just want some answers to all this."
"We're working on it," Bonnie told her.
"Do you really want to know what it is?" Kol asked. Everybody turned their attentions towards the vampire. "I believe this is the work of Silas."
"Silas?" everybody asked.
"Why would Silas turn the world to shit?" Damon asked. "I thought his main focus was getting the cure."
"Speaking of where is it?" Rebekah asked.
"It's tucked away somewhere safe," Stefan told her. Rebekah glared at him. "And don't even think about compelling me cause it won't work."
"We're on vervain, little lady," Damon smirked at her.
"Would you all stop your childish play and listen to me?" Kol interrupted. "There was always a saying that if Silas was to ever rise then the end of times would be upon us. This is it. Humans are turning into these rotting cannibals. It's the end of the world."
Everybody thought about what Kol had said about Silas.
"So if this is Silas' doing then how do we get him to stop?" Elena asked.
"That's the thing, you can't," Kol said ominously.
"Surely we can," Stefan told him. "What he wants is the cure. If we gave him the cure in exchange for everybody becoming human again I think he would."
Kol scoffed. "None of you should have ever messed with him to begin with. You've killed us all." He continued drinking his scotch.
Elijah checked on April to see if she was still resting. She looked peaceful laying there. She was truly exhausted.
Seeing that she was fine he went downstairs to Klaus' study. He knew his brother kept a bottle of Bourbon in his desk. He popped the top off and downed the liquor.
There was clawing at the door.
Elijah sat the bottle down and went into the living room. He looked out the window and gasped. There was a huge crowd walkers gathered around trying to get inside.
"Oh no..." He dashed upstairs into April's bedroom. "April," he shook her gently. "Wake up. We need to leave."
She opened one sleepy eye up. "What?"
"We need to leave now. The house is becoming surrounded."
April sat up quickly. Fear came over her face. "Elijah, they're coming for us."
"Just calm down," he told her. "They won't get us. Hop on my back." She didn't waste no time as she jumped on his back, wrapping her arms and legs tight around him. "Hold on very tight." She nodded.
Elijah went outside to the balcony. He looked down to see more walkers gathering around. He sucked in a deep breath and took a few steps back. He took off at full speed and jumped off the balcony. He landed on his feet like a cat and took off to the Salvatores.
