i do not own vampire diaries just this plot bunny.
The sun would be setting soon, the witch thought with a huff. The light wouldn't keep long and she had no patience for casting spells in the dark. Spells brought trouble. Usually just bandits and fools thinking that they could best a witch.
She found that to be rather funny. In the nine centuries she has walked the earth, humans still believed they were better than her. They felt that since they had started learning travel, combat and "modern" medical practices, they knew more than her. She snorted aloud. She could end them all with a few spells if she wanted.
Qetsiyah made her way deeper into the forest. She knew there was a village not too far off, but she had made her home inside a cavern, just in case she needed a quick getaway. Humans might not be able to harm her, but her people could. Travellers had been searching for centuries, hunting down her line. She snorted at that; her hunted like prey while those who betrayed her prospered and thrived.
She felt sick.
A noise caught her ear as she walked through a set of trees. She craned her head towards the noise, hoping to hear more. It sounds faint, but she could make out what sounded like a pained cry. Someone was hurt. It sounded young. A child perhaps?
She headed in the direction of the noise and frowned. A young boy laid among the leaves and dirt, bloodied. She could feel death creeping in on him. His neck was cut open but he had a hand pressed to his wounds.
Her hazel eyes met frightened brown. "Pl...please," he begged. "Help..."
Qetsiyah looked at the boy and then back to the setting sun. It would be dark and she had to move quickly. But she also couldn't leave him here to die. She knelt down, removed her cloak and wrapped him in it. Once he was secured, she pressed her fingers to his bleeding wounds. She muttered a quick spell. The bleeding stopped and she shifted to put the boy on her back.
She casted a spell of invisibility and with one last look at the setting sun, headed off for the cave.
She never heard the boy's family crying out for him, hoping that perhaps, their youngest was still alive.
