I wake up to a knock on the door I open it to see Freya she has frown on her face and I know she has bad news "I need to speak to you" I open the door wider to let her in and she walks in "So I did some reading I believe that the other side has been destroyed so you can't bring them back unless it's fixed I believe you can do it but you will need some supplies and someone to act as to the anchor" I frown I thought the other side was still active now this ruins my whole plan
"What are the other things I need?" She looks at me with sympathy "A doppelgängers blood for the anchor and bennet blood" I know about the Bennett witches but didn't have a clue what a doppelgänger had to do with this "Do you know a doppelgänger?"
"Yes Elena Gilbert shes the last living doppelgänger I'm not sure she would give her blood without explanation and then that would lead to her telling Alaric and then Alaric to Hope and the same with Bonnie Bennett" I frown even deeper
"Okay I'm going to go back to the school but I will figure this out" she nods and I offer a smile "Thank you for having me I would like to come again and hopefully with Hope next time" she chuckles lightly "If I can ever repay you don't hesitate to ask"
"No it's fine we enjoyed having you here" I smile at her and make my way downstairs to say goodbye to keelin and Nik their child who I met yesterday at dinner.
On my way home I debate on if I'm going to involve Hope I believe it would be for the best that I do tell her.
When I get back it's dark outside as I'm walking through the halls I hear light footsteps and as they get closer I'm greeted by a familiar scent. I smile happily when I see her face she looks at me in shock and runs to me and hugs me I instantly hug her back "Hey love"
She pulls back and gives me a quick kiss "Why are you back so early?" I feign offence "Are you not happy to see me?" She rolls her eyes "Of course but you said you wasn't back for a few day" I ignore her questions realising she shouldn't be up right now
"What are you doing?" I ask her confused and she looks down innocently knowing she's been caught she lifts her wrist which has some ugly brown bracelet on it "Landons in trouble it's a magical compass I was going to check on him" I frown at the name
"I'm coming with you"
"You can't hurt him" I roll my eyes
"I won't" she walks into Alarics office while I wait while she gets what she's looking for she comes back and when we're about to walk outside I hear footsteps
"Going somewhere?" We turn and see Alaric Hopes eyes widen but I remain calm "Better questions, where the hell do you think you're going with my keys and without telling me?"
"Um, you know, I just said some really harsh things to you yesterday, and so I just wanted to get you an oil change as a peace offering" I bite my lip to contain my laugh at the terrible lie. Looks like Alaric and hope are on bad terms?
"At 3:00 a.m.? Hope, Ava, you both don't have a driver's license. You were gonna commit grand theft auto, which is a felony. You're ditching school right before the midterm exams begin, and you've made it very clear to me that you see me as an authority figure and nothing more. So tell me, why shouldn't I suspend you both this very second?" He directed the authority figure part at Hope I'm guessing that's why their on bad terms.
"Hey I'm a innocent bystander" he glares at me and Hope brings the attention back to her and holds up her wrist compass.
"And what is that?" He says looking confused at the ugly bracelet on hopes wrist
"It's basically a supernatural compass"
"Well, I hope it's pointing you to your room because that's where you're going"
"We're going after Landon" he looks at me and raises his eyebrow "Innocent bystander?" And I mumble 'was an innocent bystander' while looking at the ground.
"If this thing is glowing, that means that he's in trouble"
"Then im coming too, and I'm driving"
« « « « «
I'm in the back seat of Alarics car while Hope and Alaric go through geography which I'm most definitely am not interested in so I'm writing down names of who could possibly be the anchor and I have nothing absolutely nothing my only thought would be a witch and I cast a immortality spell on them. which I'm gonna have to write the spell myself so there isn't a possibility this witch may die through one of natures loopholes.
I write down my ideas in Latin as usual it ensures that nobody in the school can read this it's the only language I was bothered to learn after my mother persisted that I learn at least one and it actually came in handy I'm snapped out of my thoughts when the book is snatched of my hand
"Hello? We've been calling you" Hope says while she looks at me confused "Sorry I'm studying" she looks at the book and archs an eyebrow "What language is this?"
"Latin" I snatch the book back from her hands and she gives me another confused look "What did you ask?"
"Alaric asked if your up to date on todays geography"
"Yes I've been going through your books in the library I want to finish the whole library by the time I leave"
"Well what are you studying in that book?" I purse my lips I can't lie to Hope so maybe I tell a half truth "I'm trying to make an immorality spell" she looks at me "why?" Both Alaric and hope say at the same time
Maybe that was the wrong bit of information I told her but I have been thinking of a gift for her a necklace that has a immortality spell linked to it so she can chose when she wants to activate her vampire side instead of it being a accident or someone killing her.
"Um it's present so don't ruin the surprise" that seems like a good enough answer but not for Hope "Why would an immorality spell be needed for a present? And I'm already immortal"
"And immorality spells are black magic which is not allowed" I sigh guess I'll have to sacrifice the surprise to keep the secret
"Im immune to black magic if has no effect on me or the people around me so there's no reason for me not to use it"
I direct my attention to Hope " I wanted to spell a necklace for you so that if you was killed or some sort of accident happened you would come back as a were-witch. I wanted it to be your choice when you turn so if your both done interrogating me I need to concentrate" I look back done too my book starting to write the spell I can feel Hopes gaze burn through me as I write but I don't look up I'm still keeping a secret I'm an inch away from spilling it.
The car stops "Is this the place?" I look outside a see a rural area with beautiful homes the world has really changed and I quite enjoy it "Yup. And not a moment too soon. Pretty sure you were about to tell me how babies are made" Hope goes to step out the car but Alaric stops her "Hey, before we go in there, I just want to make sure we're clear"
"Don't worry, we're crystal. You're Professor X, I'm Wolverine"
"I was more of a DC kid"
"Then you're Batman and I'm Robin. Either way, you call the shots. So how do you want to do this, hmm Fireball? Wind torrent?" I really need to watch these superhero movies
"I was thinking we'd knock"
"They'll never see that coming" she says as she rolls her eyes
"I'm gonna stay in the car and listen in call me if you need anything" she gives me a confused look and once the leave the car I grab the phone I got on my little trip Freya gave me her number just in case I needed anything I phone her after three rings she answers "Hey Freya it's Ava"
"Hey what's up?"
"I wanted to ask if I was to find a witch who would act as the anchor and cast a immortality spell on her would it work?"
"It could work but I don't know of any immorality spell without consequence nature all ways finds a to stop immortal beings"
"I'm writing one as of this moment do you know the address of Blena and Bonnie?"
"No all I know is that they are in mystic falls they will both most likely have a cloaking spell" I see Alaric and hope make their way back to the car "Okay thank you Freya I have to go"
"Of course bye Ava" I end the call how will I find Bonnie and Elena maybe I'll find it in Alarics office or maybe I can speak to Caroline but she would definitely tell Alaric they both get back in the car "How did it go?"
"They knew we was coming"
« « « « « « «
Hope and I do a locator spell and we make it to a road block it seems maintenance men are working on a house we get out and a curly hair man come towards us "Can I help you?"
"Yeah, I hope so. Uh... Say, what's going on here?" Alaric says in some weird accent
"Gas leak. Don't worry, though, we have it under control You wouldn't happen to know who lives here, would you? We tried knocking, but no one's home"
"Um, we're looking for..." Alaric pauses and i interject "The highway we're lost could you direct us" he looks at me
"Yeah, at the end of the road, you make a right. Can't miss it"
"Cool. Thanks"
"All right, let's go, Jessica, Kelly" we walk back to the car "Jessica? Really?" I chuckle "I like it, Jessica" she glares "Shut up Kelly" I laugh and shake my head
"I've been part of enough cover-ups to smell one a mile away"
"Do you think their after Landon?"
"Well, all I know is they wouldn't have asked about him if they had him, so...we gotta find him before they do"
We arrive at a motel and walk up to a room and Alaric opens the door and walks in first
"Uh, I'm looking for Landon Kirby"
"And who the hell are you?"
"Uh" me and hope walk in to see a lady pointing her gun at Alaric "People who care about him" Hope mutters a spell the gun flies in the air to her hands
"So tell me where he is before I blow your head off" she points the gun at her
"You must be Hope. So you're the headmaster of a private school for supernaturals. And someone who hasn't been mentioned"
"Rude" I roll my eyes and she returns her attention back to Hope "And you're the teacher's pet?"
"Actually, she's kind of a pain in my ass" I chuckle at Alarics comment
"A little judgy for an absentee mother" Landon walks out of the bathroom at the sound of our voices
"You were wrong. I like her" I glare at Landon why is he still talking about Hope can't he take a hint
We all sit down "I think it's time you
start filling in some blanks"
"When I finished my service in the army, I was recruited by an intelligence organization. The States sounded like
a better life. I didn't know what I was signing up for, but soon I learned that things like you exist in this world. My job was very much like yours. To keep the supernatural world a secret. Whenever a monster went bump in the night and risked exposing the truth, I tracked it down and brought it back to headquarters"
I start to tune out the rest of the conversation since I use all my energy to listen to that first part of the story I pull out my journal and start to finish off my immortality spell after I'm finished I start noting down how I'm going to get the blood of a Bennet witch and doppelgänger to what I've read Elena Gilbert the doppelgänger is married to Damon Salvatore who lost a brother Stefan Salvatore so that how I'll get the blood I'll bring him back to life.
With Bonnie I read that she lost what supposedly was her love of her life Lorenzo St. John which she calls Enzo I guess I'll bring him back too to get her blood I write it all down and I'm snapped out of my thoughts when I hear a door close I look around and see that Landon has left and the woman stands up
"Tell Landon I'm sorry" and with that she walks out Alaric stands up "I'm going to go check on her" I look at hope
"What happened?" She shakes her head and sits with me on the other bed "Some stuff about Malivore being a black pit which erases whoever jumps in"
"Nice...you know I haven't really got proper welcome back" she raises a eyebrow "How so?" I smirk "Well I haven't got a kiss"
"I kissed you when you got back" I pout "That wasn't a proper one though" I say as I start leaning forward she chuckles and she meets me halfway and connects our lips
Once they connect Im quickly put into a trance of her amazing taste our kiss quickly becomes more passionate and to my surprise she pushes me back against the bed and climbs on top of me I start kissing her neck feeling her quicken pulse she starts taking off her jacket and top I kiss her again but quickly disconnect our lips once more and move to her neck again going below her collarbone placing small sweet kisses I go to remove my top
"Oh! Hey, uh...Hope, Ava uh, get-get another room" I smirk as Hope jumps of and starts putting her clothes back on
"Gladly" Hope glares at me and turns back to Alaric fully clothed "You're the one that's always saying I need to connect more with people"
"Yea not literally"
"I like it when it's literally" she glares at me once again and she walks out
« « « « « « «
We're currently on our way chasing some fish man
"I can't believe she wants to erase herself just to get out of being a parent" even though don't like him I fell kinda sad for him we end up stopping outside a big gate
"What the hell is that?" I ask to anyone I should stop tuning out in the important conversations
"Triad"
"Explosives?" I look and see a sign that indicates there are explosives around
"On the bright side, maybe this fence stopped our fishy friend"
"I don't think so. There" Hope points towards a gap in the metal fence
"Great I don't think being unkillable means I can survive explosives" I say but Landon ignores all our comments and starts running towards the gap
"Hey, stay back. He's dangerous" he doesn't listen and carry's on I could vamp speed over but I think my life would be a bit easier without a Landon in it
"I have to get in there" he say as he goes through the gap Alaric and Hope follow him and I sigh and follow after them we make it to a field and the man fish walks towards this bright light with Landon in tow
"For the love of gods" I vamp speed over and grab Landon just as a explosion goes off I'm thrown forward and I land on top of Landon I groan he looks at me
"Speak of this and I'll kill you" I get off of him and stand up going over to Hope and help her up "I'm guessing we're not in Kansas anymore" we look over to Alaric
"Anyone have any clue what happened?" I look at him confused as he looks for answers from any of us I look at hope and she gives me a look
"Nope let's go the explosion definitely attracted some attention " I say to Alaric he nods and we make our way back to the car
« « « « « « «
We arrive at the school and all I want is to get a shower and relax. Me and hope make our way to our room and bathe and get ready for bed
"What are you hiding?" I look at hope confused "Don't lie to me I know your hiding something" I purse my lips
"Is there any way you can just trust me?" I say as I step towards her and brush a unruly hair behind her ear she huffs
"Is it dangerous?" Is it dangerous? I wouldn't say it's dangerous to anyone but me who is performing the spell
"Maybe a little" she frowns
"Then let me help" Maybe i should just tell her what could be the worst that will happen she be mad she break up with me and I'll be sad and probably go on a murder rampage so no I can't tell her
"I don't need help I'll be fine" I smile at her and give her a reassuring smile and lean forward "Did you want to finish what we started earlier" she chuckles and leans forward and gives me a quick kiss and leads me over to her bed she lays me down and leans her head on my chest I gently run my hand up and down her neck
"I love you" i freeze and my heart skips a beat she said I love you Hope Mikaelson loves me ive never said the words to anyone before I don't exactly know what love feels like but what I feel for Hope is the best I've felt ever
"I love you too" She tugs me closer and I play with her hair while we fall asleep with smiles on our faces
