It's been a while since I've traveled far without my family. I would of loved to bring Rebekah here, but it's not a vacation. My main objective is to figure out a way to lift the dagger, then head straight back to Mystic Falls to get my sister, then find Niklaus, undagger our siblings and live happily ever after.
Okay, I'm not delusional. I know that there is a 99% chance that I will not find the answers I'm looking for. A girl from the original family, asking modern day witches how to lift a spell from 1000 years ago is not something that is exactly easy to find.
Not to even mention my lead at the moment is a vampire. This certain vampire has connections to witches, that are in contact with the spirits, meaning they may also be in contact with the original witch.
I've been so distracted trying to lift these daggers, that I forgot to call my brother who left and abandoned his younger sisters. I start to make the call now, hoping he will answer.
"It's about time you've called." Niklaus says over the line.
"Where the hell are you?" I ask angered.
"Very far, looking for more hybrids to make." Niklaus states, and I can hear a smile form on his face.
"You do not just get to abandon us, and not tell me where you are." I state, putting the phone on speaker and placing both my hands back on the wheel.
"You girls can handle yourself. You do not need me protecting you." Niklaus states, and I start to hear growling in the back.
"Are you in the mountains?" I question.
"Sorta." Niklaus states, not fully answering me. "Look just hang tight alright. I'll be back after I've built my army."
"After you built your army?!" I scream at him annoyed.
"Yes. Relax and tell Rebekah I'll be back soon okay. I gotta go." Niklaus states in a rush.
"No Nik wait!" I scream at him, but the call ends. I grunt in anger, but decide not to get too angry.
He is not going to tell me where he is, and you know what, it's fine as long as I know where he is when I figure out this damn spell.
I'll talk to my sister later, but it's gonna be a long day. I cannot not have any distractions that are not of the most importance.
I arrive two hours after I had my call with Nik. I may need to get a new car, because there is no way I am going to remember where I parked in this huge city.
I have no idea where to start looking for this vampire. The witch that linked me to him, said that he stays in an underground club, that is unknown to most people. She gave me a name, but it's just an alias.
Alister. Stupid, I know.
But I had no other information, so I started to ask some people I saw on the street of this man. Most of them had no clue of who I was talking about, and some just ignored me in general. I got a few stares from some others.
I kept walking down the streets, until someone told me they knew who he was. But then, I started to realize I was seeing the same people over and over again. This guy I asked earlier, wearing a blue shirt and denim jeans said he had no idea who this man was, and I turn around to see him behind me ten minutes later.
Same with this black curly head women. I ask her as well, and she shook her head no, but she is only a few feet behind that guy. Now that I think about it, the people who were staring at me, they looked scared and afraid. As if they were questioning why I was asking.
I think this Alister guy may be an even bigger deal then I thought. I continue to walk and speed up my paste to see if they speed up as well. I turn my head slightly around, to see they are no longer following me.
I stop and fully turn to see where they went, and retrace my steps. Then, I finally lock eyes with the black curly head and she locks eyes with me. She then starts walking the other direction, but I start chasing after her.
"Hey! Stop!" I scream at the girl, running towards her, as she starts to run away as well. It's hard to run in a city where there are people crowding the streets.
I run to where I last spotted her, when I see her in the distance, going in an alley way. I hurriedly run over to see where she went. Once I arrive at the alley way, she is nowhere to be seen.
"Hello?" I ask loudly, and only hear my echo in return. I continue to walk in, suspicious of why she led me here. I then sense something coming towards me, and I hold my hand out to stop them with my magic.
I look to see who it was, and it was the girl from earlier.
"So, you're a vampire. I'm guessing your friend following me earlier as well is one too." I state, and she looks at me surprised, and then I feel another force coming to my from the my other side, and stop him as well.
"Look who decided to join the party." I state with a smile, and I hold him in the air with my other hand.
"Who are you?" The curly head girl asks, and I look back to her.
"A girl who wants answers." I state, throwing them both against this trash can violently. I then hold them in place, so they cannot move.
"Let us go." The boy states, struggling to move from his state.
"Oh I will. If you can tell me who and where to find 'Alister'." I question, leaning against the opposite wall.
"He will be pissed off if you do anything to us. He's not someone you want to mess with." The girl says in a harsh tone.
"I'll take my chances." I state not caring. "Now mind telling me where to find him?" They both stay silent and I start to get pissed. I see a trail of water in the alleyway and I start to have an idea.
"Phasmatos incendia." I light a fire, and control it. I start to lead the fire to the two vampires.
"Whoa wait what are you doing?" The boy asks frighten, with the girl shaking by his side. I bring the boy closer to me, leaving the girl near the trash.
"Tell me where to find Alister, or watch your friend die a painful death." I give the boy the ultimatum, as the girl screams for her life. "Your decision."
"I can't! If I tell you where he is, he will kill me, kill us!" He begs for her life, and I look at him unamused.
"Well she will die right now if you do not give me his location." I threaten, and he seems hesitant. I take this as a sign to lead the fire to the girl's legs and she starts to burn.
"AHHH!!" The girl screams in terror as the fire starts to spread from her feet to legs.
"STOP IT PLEASE!" The boy screams for her life and I give him a an uncaring look.
"Name and location. That's all I'm asking." I give him one last chance, before I let the fire spread all around her body.
The boy looks at the girl, with a terrified face then looks again at me. "FINE FINE! I'll tell you!"
I then give him a smile, before I put out the fire on the girl. "Now was that so hard?"
The boy breathes steadily again and looks at me in anguish. "You're a monster."
"Funny coming from the actual monster. Now, where is he?" I question locking eye contact with the boy. He still hesitates, before he decides to answer me.
"Alister is-" The boy then stops speaking, and stares at me with his mouth open. I look confused, as I see his body starting to desiccate. His entire body becomes desiccated, and he falls the the ground, and I hear the girl scream in pain as he dies.
A man stands behind him, with a heart in his hand and I look at him interested. He is a black man, brown eyes, with locs in his hair. He is a tall figure, about 5'10 maybe, and he has a humor like stance.
"You know, I thought the rules were pretty clear about never stating the location of Alister. Some people can never listen." The man states, while licking the heart. I look him up and down confused, and he takes notice of this. "What, never seen a vampire rip another vampires's heart out?"
"I'm guessing you work for this Alister person?" I question ignoring the fact he pulled someone's heart out and he immediately gets offended.
"Work for? Do I seriously look that rugged?" The man states surprised. He then looks behind me, and seemingly makes contact with the girl. "Excuse for one moment."
I turn around to see the man walks over to the girl, and looks as she trembles in fear. He examines her, before he grabs her by the throat, and starts choking her.
"Sorry about your boyfriend, you know we do not tolerate traitors." The man states in a sincere tone.
"What-t are you going to do to me?" The girl asks, shaking as the man holds her by a chokehold.
"Well you led a witch here, which is not ideal."
"I-I didn't mean to-o. Pl-e-ease have mercy." The girl pleads for her life, and the man studies her one last time, before letting her drop.
"Okay. I will let you go, if you can escape-" The man starts to talk, but the girl is already gone. "Me. They never let me finish."
I look at the situation confused and the man finally turns back to look at me. He walks up to me and looks me up and down.
"You're a cute little thing, aren't you. What do you want with Alister?" The man questions.
"I need his witches." I state bluntly, and he looks at me surprised.
"His witches? What for?" The man questions me with a smile, and I look at him skeptical.
"Hm."
"What is it? Don't trust me?" He asks.
"I'm questioning why you killed them and not me." I wonder.
"Believe it or not, those two are good at scoping out witches, or vampires who want to see Alister, and usually kill the person looking or make them go away. Not you though." The man states interested.
"So, you kill them the first time someone is able to get a hold over them?" I ask curiously.
"No, you're not the first person able to get a hold over them. They're good, but not invincible. And also only one died, and that's because he was going to state the location of Alister, which is against our rules." The man states mysteriously.
"What are you guys, a cult?" I question and he laughs. He walks over to this wall at the end of the alley, and I follow.
"Retsila." The man states, and an opening to the wall appears and I am taken back by it. He turns around to face me. "The rules never say anything about showing it."
"Retsila?" I question as I look at the now opened wall.
"Opposite of Alister." He clarifies.
"Very original." I state sarcastically.
"Well, you want witches, this whole entire place is protected by witches." He stares with a grin on his face.
"So what's the point of the passcode? Can't you just ask the witch to let you in?" I ask confused.
"Yeah, but it's feels more secretive this way. At least that's what Alister always says." He states shrugging his shoulders.
"Hm. He seems very...interesting." I state not sure how to react and the man laughs.
"He is. You're going to love him." He states before taking a step in. "Oh wait, I never got your name."
"Kalle."
"Bryson. Come on in." Bryson invites me in to this place, and I follow him.
This is extremely sketchy, but I have no other way to meet him. Guess I'm going to have to trust this man for now.
