"Another town with no hunter, fantastic!" I jumped into the car clearly frustrated.
"Relax we'll find him." Liam tried to calm me.
"How? I can't see the bloody tattoo and neither can you."
"...Yeah we should have come up with a better plan." He agreed starting the engine marking another map showing our failed searches.
"Where to next?"
"Uhh Some little town called Lakewood Valley."
Lakewood Valley was a pretty small town, all the houses seemed the same. It had a sort of uneasy feeling to it, like something dark was here. I looked toward Liam whom shivered.
"God this place is giving me the creeps." He stated parking the car on the curb of the local bar. "Ever been here before?"
"I was in a box for at least a hundred years, before that I was in Mystic Falls, England, Australia, Italy-"
"So that's a no?"
"Yeah that's a no." I replied following him. "Where should we search first?"
"I mean we are already at a bar..." He trailed off.
"And I am the alcoholic?" I chuckled joining him at the stools locking eyes with the bartender, "Has anyone come in blabbing about a strange tattoo?"
The woman's pupils widened. "Tons of people come in talking about a tattoo they don't remember getting, nothing to strange."
I sighed. "What about recently, anyone talking about a tattoo that just appeared like magic?"
"A girl a couple of days ago chugged nearly the whole bar rambling about a tattoo that appeared from nowhere."
"Name?"
"Phoebe Adams." I thanked the bartender than turned toward Liam who just finished his drink.
"Thought the whole hunter thing was they were the brotherhood of the five, correct me if I'm wrong but a brother is typically a male."
I shrugged. "The witches turned warriors and at the time they all happened to be males."
"A warrior chick? That is so hot." Liam smirked paying for the drink as we went for a search for the lass.
SOPHIA'S POV:
" Naistina tozi chovek?"
"He is not a bad guy papa!" I yelled through clutched teeth.
"Kak mozhe da tolkova slepi!" Papa yelled back questioning how I can be so blind.
I shut my eyes trying to fall asleep, surprised when I finally drifted off.
Something soft is underneath me pulling me closer, deeper into the darkness. I could feel myself fighting to get out to run..But from what? Just like that everything changes, A long hall stretched out in front of me.. Sweet humming draws my attention luring me to a small room with baby blue painted walls, and a big dollhouse and a small bed. I peer through the dollhouse noticing how the dolls seem to resemble my family, blood splattered on the walls tiny swords drove through their hearts. I back away feeling my heart pound hard against my chest. The scene in the dollhouse seems to come alive as I witness Niklaus slaughtering my family. I saw someone beside him smirking with amusement.
"You've had your fun Niklaus, how about giving me a turn?" Kol begged. I watched in horror as Klaus gave him a sword.
Katherine appeared looking at me frightened. "Help!"
I tried to run to her but the sword Kol held sliced through her.
"No!" I caught her body smelling her blood as it smeared all over me. "You're not dead..."
An evil laughed came closer, Kol pulled the sword pointing it at me digging it into my neck. "You're next love." With one swift move his sword drove straight through my heart.
I snapped up grabbing my chest sighing with relief. "It was just a dream..."
"Did you have a nightmare? I get those a lot mommy says they warn us of our future." Abby, the little girl I murdered, sat beside me her long pale blond hair smeared with red.
"I miss my mommy, have you seen her?" Abby held so much innocence in her eyes.
"I am so sorry..." I replied.
"She's dead. You killed her, didn't you?" The little girl scooted closer. "Like you killed me...Why did you kill me? Did I do something wrong?"
"No..I am a monster it never mattered whether or not you did something."
"Mommy says monsters need to be killed, so why are you alive?"
"I don't know." Was all I could say.
"Bullcrap! You're alive because you're selfish!" Katherine took the place of Abby.
"Not you again.." I groaned placing a pillow over my head. "Just leave me alone."
"Where's Elijah? Thought he'd be here considering his favorite girl is trying to kill herself."
"I'm not trying to kill myself, And besides Elijah is taking care of Niklaus."
"At least someone still knows what family means...Does your epic love know that you use to have a thing for his older brother?" Katherine smirked as I tensed. "He doesn't, wow look whose the liar now."
"Me and Elijah never-"
"Never had sex? Ha! You acted like I couldn't hear you guys through the walls."
I shook my head. "Even so that was like 500 years ago when I was human, before I knew Kol. For the record I may have had a crush on Elijah and sure we had sex once and that was it!"
"Eww Soph! You and Elijah!" Rebekah walked in face scrunched up.
I groaned at Kat who laughed. "I- we- Ugh!"
"I knew there was a reason my brother gave you his blood..It also explains why he always wants to protect you." Rebekah tossed me the herbs and a blood bag.
"You can not tell Kol, it was a long time ago, besides Elijah and I are just friends."
"I wont tell him you have my word, I am curious as to when you got out of the cellar why did you go to the church? You could have ended it right then."
I sighed. "The last time I thought my sister died I went to the church and she wasn't dead so I thought.."
"You thought she would be there."
"I just want my sister."
"But don't you see we can be together again." Katherine took the place of Rebekah her hand resting on mine.
"No..."
"Liams barrier wont- can't stay up forever. You honestly think they'll find the hunter when neither of them can even see the tattoo? Face it Soph if anything they are just humoring you."
"They'll find the guy."
"Unless they get killed by the hunter. I mean Kol carries the one weapon that can kill him in his jacket and Liam lets face it could be an easy kill once he's distracted. Can't you just picture it? Kol burning up in flames and Liams bloody body lying motionless on the ground and it would all be your fault."
"Shut up!" I pinned Katherine to the wall fangs bared.
"Soph! It's me Rebekah!" Katherine soon faded away as I saw who I was really pinning against the wall.
My grip instantly released. "I'm so sorry I didn't mean.."
"The herbs aren't working are they?"
I shook my head. "It's only getting worst at first it was just hallucinations but now I can't sleep without waking up with the erg to kill myself.."
"Does Kol know?"
"I don't want him to worry anymore than he is."
"Yes you seem to be keeping tons of secrets don't you?" I looked past Rebekah seeing Kol.
"You and Elijah? Should have known you really were just a strumpet." His voice was harsh and cold. "Hunter was a bust so I guess you really are destined to die, no matter I will just find another girl, no shortage of girls to turn. Maybe I'll find one who doesn't cause so much death. I want you to die so I can move on with my life."
"Rebekah I need you to do me a favor."
"What is it?"
"I need you to kill me."
KOLS POV:
"This Phoebe chick is 18, senior in high school, criminal record consisting of pity theft breaking in and entering also resisting arrest and underage drinking" Liam read her file, which I had compelled the sheriff to hand over.
"I search the school you check her place If you find anything just do that witchy mind conversation thing." He rolled his eyes dropping me off at the school than left.
For a small town the school was crowded with students, As soon as I walked up all eyes turned toward me. A group of girls smiled at my direction before one walked up to me.
She had raven black hair with big blue eyes.
"You're not from here are you?"
I smiled back. "Is it obvious?"
The girl chuckled. "A little, I am Heather Palmer cheer captain, school president, I also deal with exchange students. Is there anything I can help you with?"
I made direct eye contact, my pupils dilated. "You're going to tell me where I can find Phoebe Adams."
"Freaky Phoebe is under the bleachers on the football field."
"Very good darling, now go back to your friends." She did as I requested.
'No luck at her place, it's completely empty.' Liams voice entered my head.
I saw a young girl under the bleachers with long light honeynut hair. The girl rolled up her jacket sleeve up looking at her hand.
"I got her."
'I'm on my way.'
I nodded walking to the girl cautiously.
"Phoebe Adams?"
The girl turned around brown eyes showing fear. "How do you know my name?"
"Small town ask someone a question you're bound to get answers." I replied.
"I'll rephrase myself than, why do you want to know?"
"I know about the tattoo, I can help you."
"Don't listen to him Phoebe." Heather walked up to us.
"Heather what is going on?" Phoebe questioned confused.
"A hunter is meant to rid the earth of your kind not help it." The raven haired girl squinted toward me.
"Hey no need to be nasty about it." I smirked putting my hands up.
"Will someone tell me what the hell is going on!" Phoebe shouted.
"You're one of the five, a hunter and he is a vampire."
"And how exactly do you know all of this?" I turned my anger toward Heather. A sharp pain hit my head. "Witch should have known."
"You should go." Heather threatened sending another painful shot to my head.
"Come on Heather don't be a bitch." Liam came up eyes darting to Heather than started looking around. "Where's the huntress?"
I looked around not seeing the girl. "She must have snuck off."
"Nice job Heather." Liam squinted at the witch.
"Don't blame me for this Liam What the hell are you doing with a vampire!" The girl shouted.
"He's a friend and we needed that hunter!" Liam shouted causing the girl to fall to her knees. "In fact I should kill you."
"Not a bad idea but perhaps we can use her." I stated with an evil grin. "The hunter needs to kill a vampire and I don't see any vampires here, besides me."
"Unless we turn someone- Oh." It donged on Liam causing his mouth to form an 'o' shape. "Heather, sweetheart you just became very very useful."
I bit my wrist shoving the blood down the girls throat than snapped her neck.
"Any idea on where the huntress took off to?" I asked throwing the witches non-moving body in Liams trunk, oddly enough nobody saw.
"The girl has a record of underage drinking..."
We headed to the bar seeing the huntress gulping down a bottle. I sat on a stool beside her Liam sat on her other side.
Phoebe eyes darted toward me. "Go away crazy guy."
"Listen I know you don't know us but I won't let anything bad happen to you." Liam rested his palm on her hand instantly calming the girl.
"Vampires aren't real." She stated.
Liam looked toward me and nodded. I showed the girl my fangs surprised when she didn't scream but laughed.
"Those look real." In an instant she fainted but Liam caught her.
"Nice move."
"You're the one that gave me the nod." I said helping him carry the girl out the bar earning curious glances through out the bar.
"The compel her nod, not the go all vamp nod."
"Hunters can't be compelled."
Liam gently put the girl into the backseat of his car.
"What now?" He questioned.
"We have the vampire and a hunter now we just need young Phoebe there to kill the ex-witch."
Before Liam could reply his phone went off. "Hello?"
"Liam its Rebekah, Sophia is-"
"I'm fine." Sophia said snatching the phone form Rebekah. "In fact never better."
I snatched the phone from Liam. "I know when you're lying love, now what's happening?"
"Nothing, I'm fine." She replied rather harshly before the line went dead.
Did she just hang up on me?
"We need to go back to your grandmas house, now." Liam nodded speeding the car out of the small town with a vampire in transition and a hunter.
SOPHIA'S POV:
"Why did you call them!" I roared at Rebekah who was outside the room.
"I had to, You need Liam or Kol!" The blonde yelled back.
"Just get me something wooden!"
"Yeah that is not going to happen."
Voices kept running through my mind telling me I needed to die and it was only getting worse.
"I just want it all to stop..." I pleaded.
"Kol and Liam found the hunter it will all be over soon."
"You're right it will be.." I grabbed an Iron bar and shoved it through Rebekahs gut pulling her inside the barrier and snapping her neck.
KOLS POV:
"Can't you drive any faster?" I asked Liam.
"I'm already going 10 miles pass the speed limit can't exactly get caught by a cop you know with an unconscious girl in the backseat and a dead one in the trunk, By the way you are cleaning my car when this is all dealt with."
"God you guys sound like an old married couple." Phoebe rubbed her head slowly sitting up. "Where the hell are you guys taking me?"
"Some where." Liam replied earning a dull stare from the girl.
"You and twilight just kidnapped me the least you could do is answer a few questions."
I arched a brow at my nickname. "What is twilight?"
"It's that movie I was telling you about were vampires sparkle-" Liam begun to explain.
"I resent that nickname darling, I do not sparkle. What questions do you have?"
"Heather, what was with her?" Phoebe questioned.
"I was wondering the same thing, how exactly did you know her mate?"
"We witches tend to know one another, Heather was an old acquaintance who was always in search for a hunter to kill Silas explains why she was trying to stop us from getting you."
"Whose Silas?"
"A very dangerous immortal being." I replied.
"Aren't you a very dangerous immortal being?" She stated toward me.
"Yes but I don't want to kill you he would."
The girl shrugged. "Good enough. But why do you guys even need me?"
"You know you are taking all of this very well." Liam said.
"My whole life I've wanted adventure anything to escape from that cruddy town must say being in a car with two hot guys does highlight my life."
A loud bang came from the trunk.
"What was that?"
"Seems the bitch is awake."
Liam pulled up to his grandma's place nearly jumping out of the car heading to the trunk.
The warlock grabbed a pocket knife and slit his wrist.
"What are you doing!" Phoebe was at his side watching curiously and frightened.
"She needs blood to complete the change." Liam forced his wrist on Heathers mouth wincing as she bit his wrist and continued to drink.
I pulled the new vampire off holding her arms back.
Liam tossed Phoebe a wooden stake. "Drive it through her heart."
"I am not killing someone!" She cried out gripping the stake.
"You are a hunter, so do your job and kill her." I ordered.
SOPHIA'S POV:
I could hear a commotion going on outside I edged closer to the barrier shocked went my foot went past the arch of the door. Instantly I zoomed out searching the house for the wooden stakes I know Liam has.
Voices were arguing outside whether they are real or not doesn't concern me. I tore through Liams room angrily tossing his bed.
Next was his drawers. A nice sharp stake was hidden in his underwear drawer.
"That's it Soph me mamma and papa will wait for you." Katherine smiled.
Finally I can be with my family again..
KOLS POV:
"All you have to do is drive that stake through her heart." Liam told the girl.
"I know Heather okay we had classes together."
"You're the one that wanted an adventure darling." I reminded Phoebe.
"Yes but I am not killing an innocent person." I was really getting sick of Liams failed attempts to convince the girl.
"Enough of this." I released the new vampire who was over taken with blood lust charging at the hunter. Phoebe reacted using speedy reflexives to drive the stake through Heather's heart.
SOPHIA'S POV:
Just as I was about to drive the stake through my heart all my suicidal thoughts vanished along with my sister. I dropped the stake rushing outside seeing Liam, some chick, a dead vampire and Kols whose face lit up spotting me.
I rushed into his arms falling into his embrace.
Kol brushed back my hair kissing my forehead. "You're alright, I'm here."
Liam sighed with relief resting a hand on the girl who was starring at her arm.
I faced the girl, she was pretty a little young though. "You're the hunter?"
The girl nodded seeming shaken up. "That's me, Phoebe Adams vampire slayer..."
"Thank you." I smiled at the hunter which seemed to calm her.
Liam disposed of the vampires body as I filled Phoebe in on vampires, hybrids, werewolves etc. Rebekah entered rubbing her head glarring toward me.
"Was that necessary? You ruined my shirt."
I chuckled hugging the original tightly. "I apologize, and promise we will go shopping considering I can leave now."
Rebekah laughed. "I'll hold you to it but for now I am going to join Elijah in New Orleans."
"Why? Is everything okay with Niklaus?" I questioned.
She shrugged. "I don't know which is why I am going...You guys could always tag along."
I looked at Kol and Liam who leaned on the arch of the door.
"Maybe. For now I think we will just stay put."
Rebekah nodded, said good bye than left.
I sat on Kols lap while Liam sat next to Phoebe.
"What now?" Phoebe asked.
"You seeked for adventure I say we go and find it." Liam smirked begging me and Kol to cave with his eyes.
"Alright fine what did you have in mind?" Liam's smirk grew wider which meant he was defiantly planing something.
A hunter, original vampire, all powerful witch, and a very experienced vampire what could possibly go wrong?
