I wake up in Hope's arms it's definitely one of the things I missed the most about Hope waking up to her scent and her arms wrapped tightly around me and also the fact that she is naked.
I gently nudge her to wake up she's meant to be going to the Salvatore school "Love you have to get up"
"Mmmh Good morning"
"Good morning go get ready ill make some breakfast" I kiss her forehead and get up walking out I start making pancakes and some tea Hope walks out as I'm plating the food.
"So what are you doing today?" she asks me I can smell her lavender shampoo as she sits down on the barstool "I'm trying to break the cloaking spell"
"I don't think you're going to be able to" My eyebrow twisted in confusion at first I tried the locator spell with my blood but it wasn't working so I thought they were cloaked that was until I tried it again and it worked with only my mother.
so I just thought that she took down the cloaking spell when my mother died I took a ring off her finger hoping that would help but it hasn't so I've been using my blood again which also isn't working I don't have anything else that belongs to my father so my blood is the closest thing that could work.
"I will I just need to figure out who did the cloaking spell it can't be anyone who is in the same coven as me" Nobody in my coven is more powerful than me so I should be able to break the cloaking spell so just confuses me even more but I definitely think my mother could possibly have made a cloaking spell that lasted after her death
"Do you even know anyone who is in the Williams coven"
"Nope but ill find them if there are any they could know where my father is" I look at the time and see that Hope needs to leave she's eaten all her food so she is good to go "You need to go but call me if you need anything" she nods and comes around the mini-bar giving me a hug and an all too short kiss
"Goodbye love"
"Goodbye gorgeous"

After getting ready and a few more tries trying to break the cloaking spell I grow frustrated with myself if I can't find my father there is still a threat to me and the Mikaelsons. It seems that the only way to find my father is if he finds me and I don't like that he could possibly get the upper hand.
I find myself in front of a familiar door I knock on it twice and after a while, I hear footsteps the door swings open and smile at the brunette
"I need your help"
She rolls her eyes "Hello Nora I know we've only talked over the phone these past few days but I've come to see your gorgeous face in person" she says in a mocking tone I scoff at her words and roll my eyes
"Yes yes all of that, now may I come in?" she steps back opening the door wider and I walk in
"What do you need help with?" I turn to her as we step into her living room she pours us a drink and I sit down "I need to break a cloaking spell"
she looks at me confused as she sits down passing me a drink "I'm pretty sure you can do that yourself who are you trying to find"
"My father" she gives me a knowing look "I've been using my blood for the locator spell but I believe he's cloaked"
She hums in response as she looks deep in thought "What?" I ask her and she looks at me
"The only reason you wouldn't be able to break the cloaking spell is if the witch who casted it was more powerful than you and there are only three witches who are"
I nod in response the only witches who are more powerful than me are Bonnie, Freya and Hope
"I don't think any of them would do that" Freya and Hope I know wouldn't do that and I hope that Bonnie wouldn't since I brought back the love of her life.
"Then if you truly believe that then you have to think of the other read you can't break it"
I give her a confused look "And what is that?"
She gives me a sorrowful look and one of pity "...That your blood isn't working because....he's not your real father"
"Bloody hell more lies from my mother what a surprise" it's not surprising that my mother lied but it doesn't mean it doesn't piss me off any less.
"You need to find some that belong to him or someone related to him"
"Yes I got that much how the hell am I going to find any of those things"
"Hey don't get snappy with me I'm just trying to help"
I give her a guilty look "I'm sorry but I just found out my father could possibly not be my father and I've been wasting my time using my blood and I have no other way to find this man" I feel my tribrid face come out as my veins burn with anger.
Nora calls out to someone and a girl walks in with a smile "Can you pour my friend a drink please" the girl smiles and grabs a glass from the mini she takes out a knife and opens a vein pouring her blood into the glass and passes it to me.
"I don't need a drink I need answers, answers I don't know how to get"
"Take it, it will calm you down and clear your mind" I grab the drink and gulp it down it calms me down a bit and we sit in silence for a while
"As much as I don't want to say you were right but I think I know how to find him"
She chuckles lightly "Don't worry I already know I'm right" I laugh with her "Shut up"
"How are you going to find him?"
"The necklace he gave me and I'm also going to go to the other side and speak with my mother"

After a while of speaking and drinking with Nora, my bracelet glowed so I had to go and help Hope I made my way to the Salvatore school once I got there I was shocked to see that students are out playing in the snow when I thought the snow was a new monster. I walk in and see Christmas decorations up everywhere I turn down about five people offering me hot cocoa and finally make it to the library where I see Hope sitting down.
"I'm trying to work! So if you don't fa la la leave, I'm gonna give you all another piercing"
Hope shouts at some Christmas Carolers I walk over "Looks like someone is having a good day"
I kiss her on the cheek and sit down she smiles at me "Thank God you are here if anyone offers you anything don't eat or drink it"
I chuckle lightly "whys that?"
"There's a new monster and it's making everyone 'merry'"
"So why aren't you 'merry'?"
"I don't like the holidays it's stressful it just shows how much I lost"
I place a hand on hers and give it a gentle squeeze "Well now your families are back we can do a proper Christmas" she nods and smiles at me.
"Sounds like someone could use a little help getting in the spirit" Kaleb walks over with a bowl of something
"You want to help? Find me an axe" Hope tells him
"So that's a neg on the nog?"
"I need to figure out what monster's making everyone so freaking merry, then kill it"
Kaleb looks shocked "Whoa. That's naughty
as hell, Hope. I got to do all I can to make it on Santa's nice list. 'Cause I've been asking for this one thing every Christmas and, uh, I never got it. But I'm hoping that this is the year" I raise an eyebrow confused but he just doesn't seem to notice as he takes a sip of the egg not
"Oh. Hell yeah. You sure you don't want to hit this?" he says holding up the spoon I shake my head
"If I started hitting stuff now, I might never stop" Kaleb just shrugs and walks off with his egg nog
"There's got to be someone around here as miserable as us"
« « « « «
After speaking to Clarke we decide well Hope decided we should let Clarke out and enjoy the Christmas spirit that is floating around in the school so now we are watching Clarke scarf down some Christmas dinner.
"Wow, you really are the son of a bottomless pit" I chuckle lightly at Hope's comment, someone passes Clarke a strip of paper and he tells her thanks and passes his plate to someone walking past.
"Turn" he turns around Hope and uses her back so he can write on his piece of paper.
"Quit stalling. Tell me what I'm looking for before I run out of goodwill towards mud men and there are unpleasant consequences"
He finished writing on the paper and shrugs "Mm. My best guess? The Krampus"
"What the hell is a Krampus?"
"Well, it's the monster that brought all this snow and ice to town. And think of it as the anti-Santa. Santa Claus rewards good boys and girls, right? Well, the Krampus does the opposite. It seeks out hatred and anger instead of peace and joy"
"We're literally surrounded by peace and joy" Clarke smirks and throws his bit of paper into the fire "Not for long"
"What did you just do?" I ask him and he shrugs "I found a loophole"
"Great What did wish for?" we walk into another room Hope closes the door with magic
"You'll find out soon enough. Because as you can attest, I've been a very bad boy this year"
"I knew we shouldn't have taken him of out the cell" I mutter under my breath as Hope steps towards him
"What did you wish for?" She asks more firmly and starts to choke him with magic "A saviour..."
"You want to protect Landon, right? Well, don't worry. The Krampus is coming to rescue me instead of going after him. And it'll kill anyone dumb enough to get in its way"
"Not if we're ready for it," I think about the students who don't seem to care about what's coming and are too 'merry' to get involved.
« « « « «
"Can I have everyone's attention?" Hope says to the group of merry students they don't listen and carry on with what they are doing
"I need everyone's attention," Hope says a bit louder and they all stop Kaleb stops the music and Hope steps forward
"I have bad news. A Krampus is headed our way" they all look at her and kaleb turns the music back on and everyone goes back to what they were doing
"Well that worked out great" Hope chants a spell and the music box explodes she chants another spell and the Christmas tree lights explode then another spell that explodes some Christmas treats.
"As Hot as that was I think the music box was the only thing that needed to be destroyed" I whisper to Hope she rolls her eyes and pushes me away
"All right! Didn't want to deploy the nuclear option, but Santa's not real. He's a myth. And you're all acting like a bunch of children. So let's just put the partridge back in the pear tree and grow the hell up" Hopes shouts and I look at Pedro he seems to be on the brink of tears he runs out of the room
"She's right.." Alaric steps forward and takes off his Christmas sweater.
"I... This was all too good to be true. I... I, uh, I don't know what came over us. All right, you all heard her. Dorian, hit the books, figure out how the Krampus operates. Josie, Kaleb, we need to set a trap for this thing. Everyone else, get the kids to bed and gather weapons. And someone bring me a crossbow" it seems that he is good under pressure I feel kinda bad for calling a friend I met while visiting Bonnie to take over for Alaric.

After trapping the Krampus and then temporally killing him Santa came out of the sack that he was carrying he ended up killing it permanently. It was a weird encounter and I definitely won't be forgetting it anytime soon. Hope let Clarke go so that he could go and jump into the pit but I'm like 99 per cent sure he won't do it.
I'm standing outside the school I just watched Santa give kaleb a new car I'm
guessing the one he's been asking for every Christmas. Hopes going back to the school so she just left to go get her things while I wait for the new headmaster that I called.
I smile as I see the blonde approach "Hello Ava" we embrace I've only spoken to her a handful of times but I've realized quickly that she is a hugger
"Hello Caroline"
______________________________
A/n: as I said before I don't like Alaric much so I put Caroline as the new headmaster well she and Alaric are going to be co-Headmasters because I know that Caroline puts Alaric in his place.
This episode was a bit weird so I took out the Santa fighting.
If the word salaries are is in any chapters it means Alaric for some reason my autocorrect keeps changing it.
Hope you're having a good day/night :)
