RECAP

You looked over at Hope and Emma. "What's with the needles?" Hope walked forward and asked Emma as she laid out something on the bed.

Emma glanced at Hope. "Sedatives." She replied.

"Sleep isn't really a priority." Hope immediately responded.

Emma looked at Hope. "But safety is." She replied, calmly. They both walked over to you and Rafael, you moved out of the way so Emma could do her thing. "Rafael told me why you couldn't track them. Penelope Park aided them in a cloaking spell before she left for break." Emma continued.

Rafael decided to speak up. "Said it was gift for... dumping Lizzie on her birthday." Rafael explained, looking up at Hope.

Hope sighed, you didn't know this but she was honestly scared and worried for you. "Great. Then what happened?" She inquired.

Rafael was blank for a couple seconds, but then he started explaining. Not long after he started hyperventilating. "Landon! No!" You put your ears slightly down when you heard that.

Emma looked back and forth between Rafaels eyes. "It's happening again. Hand me the syringe." Emma looked up at Hope.

Hope stared wide eyes. "Wait, he's about to tell us what happened to Landon." Hope argued.

Emma stared at Hope. "And if he stays in this state any longer, it'll be that much harder to pull him out." Emma explained.

You pinned your ears down. "Landon!" Rafael screamed, panting and grunting. "Run!" He yelled.

Hope shook her head, Emma gently sighed, getting up to get a syringe while Hope kneeled down in front of Rafael, grabbing his face. "Raf! Hey, it's okay. Tell me who's running after Landon. Please. Who's chasing Landon?" Emma quickly came as Rafael looked lost and scared, she stuck the syringe in his neck. "Hey, hey, hey..." Hope tried calming him down.

He exhaled, feeling relief. "A monster." He breathed out, tired. He then fell forward into Hope who grabbed him and held him.

She looked confused, but when she found her eyes travelling to you, she was you were terrified for Landon. "It's okay.." Hope whispered.

You and Hope had left to your own room because the sun was rising so you were going to be human again. Once you came back you quickly put clothes on, Hope had turned around to give you some privacy. Once you were finished, Hope turned around. "I'm so worried about Landon... a-and MG, but mainly Landon.." You trailed off. "What if he's dead, Hope..?" You questioned, playing with your hands

Hopes face softened. She walked up to you and wrapped you in a hug. "Don't think like that, okay? He's alive." Hope responded, letting go of you. "He'll come back." Hope cupped your face while you nodded.

You and Hope quickly walked back to the room with Rafael in it, you made your way to sit on Rafaels bed while Hope went to stand next to Emma.

You were happy you were human but you were only focused on Landon, Rafael and MG, but mainly the first two. Emma and Hope were standing up, starring at Rafael.

You wiped your tears that fell as you looked over at the two. "It doesn't make any sense. Triad has the urn. There shouldn't be any more monsters, certainly none that made their way through 'Maryland'." You made quotations marks with your hands.

Emma and Hope looked at you. "He's obviously confused." Emma responded. Hope just could only imagine the way you were feeling.

Hope sighed, both you and Emma looking at Hope. "We need to wake him up."

Emma glanced at Rafael. "Sleep is the safest thing for him right now. Once he's out of this lunar cycle, we'll be able to recalibrate his brain more easily." She looked at both you and Hope.

You groaned and they both looked at you. "But he's the only one who knows where Landon and MG are." You argued, obviously angry and upset. "Plus, monster?" You asked, your face full of worry.

Emma remained calm, although you all felt the energy in the room was tense. "I heard. But as the closest thing this school has to a psychiatrist, my responsibility is to him." You looked away from Emma, annoyed but knew she was right. "And to you two." Emma paused, looking at Hope, Hope looked at Emma. "You and I talked a lot about triggers rooted in trauma."

Hope shook her head. "I don't need a therapist right now, Emma. We need answers." Hope responded.

"And you'll both get them when I do, causing the least amount of harm to Rafael as possible." Almost immediately, Emma responded. Hope exhaled while you looked down at your shoes.

You and Hope were sat in the library trying to figure out what monster took Landon and MG. Just then the phone Alaric said for Hope to keep an eye on started ringing out. Hope picked it up, pressing a button to put it on speaker. "Did you find them?" You asked as you kept searching for this 'monster' Rafael mentioned.

"No, not yet. What did you guys learn?" Alaric asked you and Hope.

Hope decided to speak up. "Raf said they got attacked by a monster."

Alaric lightly scoffed. "Well, that's impossible." He responded.

You and Hope looked at each other. "Is it?" Hope questioned.

"Where and when?" Alaric asked.

You cut in. "W-We don't know. We don't know. Emma sedated him, and he's been sleeping it off for hours." You explained, Hope nodding in agreement.

"But I have an idea. It's a family recipe from my mom's side, the Crescent Pack." Hope started. "Because they could control their turns at will, they had access to both sides of their minds." Hope finished, you didn't know that, guess you learn something new everyday.

Alaric sighed. "All right, well, do what you need to do. I've got to find MG before his father sees him." Alaric explained, Hope pressed a button that made the call hang up.

Hope grabbed the elixir in this small jar and looked at you while you shut a book you were holding and looked over at her. You both got up and walked out of the library and after walking for a couple of minutes and in silence, you finally made it to the room.

Hope had told Emma her plan and she looked disgusted and shocked by this. "Absolutely not." She responded to Hopes idea.

Hope looked back and forth between Emmas eyes. "This elixir has been in my family for years. Dr. Saltzman said that I-"

Hope got cut off by Emma. "Dr. Saltzman, bless him, is not a medical doctor." Emma stated. "Nor am I. And most definitely neither are you, and you." She looked at Hope then you. "The division between the two sides of Rafael's mind exists for a reason, to protect his sanity and to-" Now Emma was the one getting cut off.

You walked forward a little bit. "Emma, please." You pleaded. "Obviously, something terrible happened." You raised an arm and pointed out the window. "Landon and MG are out there somewhere." It sounded as if you were fighting back tears and you were.

Emma looked over at you. "Do you think I'm not concerned about them?" You crossed your arms over your chest. "Of course I am." She responded.

You were extremely agitated now as your ere really worried about Landon. "Then we need to do something." You immediately responded through gritted teeth.

Emma put her serious face on. "Kate, I said no." She gave a stern look. "You too, Hope." She then looked over at Hope. "And I'm not gonna let you-" You looked behind her to see Rafael dig a needle into her neck.

She gasped as she felt it but then she became weak. "I'm sorry, Emma. But Hope and Kate are right." Rafael then held her gently. He then looked up at you two. "Do what you got to do." Rafael slightly nodded that it was okay.

Rafael laid Emma down on the bed he was previously on. Hope had now taken Rafael to the bed next to Emma and sat him down. She handed him the elixir, lightly tapping him to get him to focus. "Here." She softly said. Rafael grabbed it. "Just drink it." Hope continued. Rafael exhaled before drinking the elixir, making a disgusted face as he swallowed it. "Here." Hope whispered as she grabbed it and closed it. She placed the elixir down, Rafael breathing in and out. "Okay..." Hope trailed off. Hope kneeled down and looked Rafael int he eyes. "You said you saw a monster." Hope started.

Rafael looked at Hope confused. "I did?" He asked.

Hope nodded briefly. "Yeah.." She looked over at you before back to Rafael.

Rafael stuttered on his words. "I don't-I don't... I don't remember that."

You placed a hand on Rafaels shoulder. "Okay. Tell us what you do remember." You calmly said as you moved to sit next to him.

Rafael seemed to go in a trance as he started remembering. "I was telling Landon it was a bad idea for MG to see his father because he's religious." Rafael started, pausing for a moment. "MG agreed with me but Lan still wanted MG to see his father. I said to wait and that we had to leave because the moon was going to rise soon." Rafael explained more. "Landon said we could do both, he just wasn't listening. He kept pushing and MG didn't want to do it. And so thats when we went to the church his father was practicing in." Rafael paused for a while.

You and Hope waited patiently. "As we entered the church, his dad was practicing his speech and thats when MG walked further than me and Lan." Raf moved his eyes around as if he was back in this memory. "MG reunited with his dad and his dad was crying to see his son again and his dad was saying how 'the good lord' brought MG back." Rafael finished.

Hope started getting up off the ground. "Wait, wait, wait. So... you're saying that MG's dad didn't know he was a vampire?" Hope asked, shocked.

Rafael looked up at you and Hope. "I'm saying that MG's dad thought that he was dead." You and Hope looked at Rafael utterly shocked and confused. "We didn't want to leave MG behind, but it was getting late. And we knew that I had to get back before I turned, and-" Rafael abruptly stopped as he exhaled and looked down.

You didn't take your eyes off of him. "What?" You questioned.

Rafael then looked back up. "We didn't make it back on time, Kate, Hope." Rafael looked back and forth between you and Hope. "We set up camp in the middle of the woods, Landon was chaining me up to the tree and I was saying how it was a bad idea that we left and that we should've stayed at the school." Rafael started explaining again.

"That's when we started having an argument about 'parents'." Rafael breathed out. "Landon then said that I had feeling for you, Hope and when I said thats the slug he pointed out it lowered my inhibitions." You looked over at Hope before back to Rafael. "I explained it didn't matter about my feelings because I would never do that to you, Kate." Rafael looked at you before looking down at his hands. "Then I started turning, Landon was freaked out and I started telling him to leave and grab MG but he wouldn't. Then there was a noise in the woods. Run!" Rafael then yelled.

Hope kneeled down while you gently grabbed his leg. "Raf. Raf." Hope called his name as he panted, she then grabbed the elixir.  "Hey. Hey. Here. Here. Here, here, here, here. Drink this. Drink this. Drink this." Rafael drank the elixir and kept panting.

You looked at Rafael with a worried expression. "Hey. What did you see? What did you see? What were you running from?" You asked multiple questions, scared to death for Landon.

"I don't know. I don't know!" Rafael repeated.

Hope cut in. "Raf, whatever you saw is what made you like this." Hope explained. "Did the monster hurt Landon?" Hope inquired, searching Rafaels eyes.

Rafael whimpered. "I don't know." He whispered.

You had tears in your eyes. "Is Landon okay, Raf?!" You yelled the questioned.

Rafael started to cry. "I don't know, Kate." Rafael cried, mouthing an 'I don't know'. You looked down, holding back tears as he panted and you moved from next to him to standing up and pacing around the room.

Hope breathed out. "Okay." Her voice was low. "Do you remember where the woods were?" Hope questioned, obviously less emotional than you and Raf.

Rafael stayed quiet for a bit. "I think so." He whispered, you had a look of hope on your face. Rafael nodded. "Yeah, I remember."

You breathed out, happy. "Okay. Okay." Hope started getting up as she said that. "I'm gonna get one of the twins to siphon you out of here. We're gonna go find him." Hope then started walking off, leaving you and Rafael alone in the room.
