I’ll never stop talking about the way TVD writers treated Caroline like she was favoured over Elena and Bonnie. They never said it outright, but it was obvious.
Like how dumb do you think we are to not notice how you kept stripping away or redirecting major parts of Bonnie and Elena’s characterization around love, sacrifice, and power. while Caroline’s love life and her power remained just aspects of her character, never becoming the entirety of who she was as a person.
Let alone that she literally got the dream life that she always wanted when elena and bonnie kept getting shit and after every crisis they went thru it just made bonlena lose parts of themselves and suffer while caroline kept growing into a better version of herself and going forward with her perfect life
That’s why i always felt like caroline’s development was additive, while Bonnie and Elena’s was so often subtractive.
I’m happy that at least one female character in tvd still gets to be herself but seriously what about the others that y’all erased
💌@®> i just want to say i appreciate all the notes reblog and comments. It's keeps me going truly, let's me know what you think wc 7k. There will be a long pause before that i wanted to update this fic too that's why I sat down and wrote it. Hope you like this chapter stay safe and hydrated.
series prev next
You had slept in scott’s house after you left the tomb, the moonstone is in your possession now Katherine didn’t try to take it form you again. She had asked you let her out of the tomb but you couldn’t risk it. You had let everyone know about the ritual sacrifice, the first thing you did when you reached scott’s house, via video chat you were surprised when Peter is only one who had laptop and derek didn’t. stiles had clowned him for that before you broke the news, Erica and Boyd wants to leave the town but derek reassured that the best strategy would be to remain together, Tyler is staying with Jackson for that time being.
You are walking to home scott had offered to drop you off but you declined wanting to walk, headphones in blasting your favourite song, stopping by the store you buy a bag of M&Ms eating it as you walk to your home.
A car stops beside you; the window is rolled down Damon sits on the driver’s side “Hey stranger!” stefan is in the passenger seat with elena and rose in the back, you take of your earphones putting in your pocket.
They steps out “You are here for the Moonstone.” You pop two M&M in your mouth, offering the packet to rose and elena, the latter shake her head.
Rose forehead wrinkle in concentration as she looks you up and down then to your offering, she take one.”
“Aren’t you a smart cookie” Damon muses trying to take one from you, but you pull away making him frown.
“Rose’s friend said the curse can be destroyed we just a witch and the moonstone.” Stefan’s eyes are bright and hopeful.
“And you believe that?” you tsks shaking your head “Curse’s can’t be destroyed it can be only lifted, two different things.”
They frown at that which is comical their naivety makes you both sigh and amused. “Which moron told you this?”
“If we can de-spell the moonstone, we can save Elena’s life.” Stefan says again “Won’t you able to do that?”
“Its not just Elena’s life at stake, didn’t she tell you a vampire and werewolf also needed.” You argued with firm tone. “And I tried, but this thing is tricky you can’t destroy the moonstone or de-spell as you say so. The moonstone is just element in whatever the curse this is, say its sun and moon I would beat the shit out of you all.” You get side tracked taking steady breath you add “Moonstone is mend to destroy at the moment of the ritual you do that before that it might create domino effect to the rest elements vampires, werewolf, and doppelgangers would suffer the consequences or it would simply transfer the magic to another object or the person who doing it will become a moonstone. Got it?”
The three stands speechless looking at each other, you search for the red M&M, finding it you pop it inside your mouth.
“Look the best we can do is be prepared if Santa Klaus is coming to town.” Your lower your voice as soft and comforting you can “The pack will help, hell even I’m invested in this shit right now.”
“Klaus would kill us all.” Rose stress “We were attacked at in Richmond. He’s close.”
You hum at that the Packet of M&Ms disappears from you hand into a red mist, you glance at rose “Like I said, there is nothing else we can do, you just have wait till he show up then I don’t know kill him maybe end it for once and all.” You put your earphones back in but doesn’t play the song.
“But you can do it right?” Damon argued.
You rise a brow at that but nods “Yes, but have you not heard any word I said.”
“Something about consequences.” Damon waves off your warning an irked look on his face.
You throw your head back getting irritated, your eyes flash red “Damon, get out of my sight.” His eyes flash red mirroring yours his brother, elena and rose tenses seeing damon walk to his car without protest.
“How can you compel a vampire?” Rose stares at you warily, now you wave them off.
“Mind is among a few things I can control.” You play the song putting your phone back to your pocket. “He’s fine.” You glance at them as you do so “Don’t go doing stupid shit. The moonstone is safe with me.” You check your watch “I have a movie to watch.”
You walk away rose follow you speeding next you “I’m coming too.”
Elena turn to stefan “I will go with them too, to get my mind off all this.” Stefan doesn’t protest nodding he watching elena catch up the two of you.
“You know when someone put earphones in that means leave them alone.”
Rose shrugs “I never get to thank you for this.” She rubs the daylight ring “I been living in shadows for 500 years. So, thank you.”
The three of you walks inside the theatre rose compel the guy to let you three in, you buy a massive popcorn bucket with few drinks, Elena left to the washroom, while you and rose wait for her to come in.
When elena comes back she looks pale, worried sacred even making you stand straight “You alright?”
She nods catching the bottle of coke you throw at her; you gives a once over at her before going back to bombarding Rose with questions about her vampire life. She for once happy to share her life details with you having ceased around by the time you three reached the theatre.
The place isn’t crowded as it is working day and noon there is only few people and works of the establishment moving around, cleaning the place. The show starts in 10 minutes the three of you seat in the empty food court.
“I don’t want anyone to die for me.” Elena speak up making the two you pause; she sounds exhausted reasonably so.
“We can go to Richmond and get more information about Klaus.” Elena propose a very stupid idea; you sigh preparing for heated argument.
“It’s a bad idea.” Rose states.
Elena seems to think otherwise “No, it's not. From what Stefan told me, your friend Slater obviously has more information about Klaus. You and Damon just gave up before you got it.”
“Because somebody blew up a coffee shop with us in it.” Rose almost yells “If it wasn’t for her daylight ring I would have badly hurt.” She points at you.
“There's more to learn. We just have to find a way to learn it.” Elena insists
“Why are you coming to me with this?”
“Because you owe me. One word from me, and Damon and Stefan could have killed you for kidnapping me.” You rise an eyebrow at that you open the bottle of coke and take a sip.
“Listen, it is not wise to go especially after they were attacked.” You reasoned “I get that you are restless and feel trapped but making rush decision won’t help anyone.”
Elena’s cheeks get red her eyes narrowing at you “Everyone is telling me to stay put, it is my life I get to decided what to do with it.”
“So, you just waltz in there offer yourself up to save your friends?” you stare down at her “What after that, dying is not an easy way out since you’re a doppelganger your soul would go to purgatory and trust it’s not pretty there.”
Elena and rose fall silent at that you stand up “Let’s not worry about all this, the movie is starting.”
Rose glance at elena before following your suit Elena exhale shakily but stands up “I don’t know I feel about compelling the worker.” You pout looking at the ticket.
“I can give the ticket back.” Rose offers with a coy smile you takes the ticket from her hand.
“Yeah, never mind.” You wave the ticket in the air “I’m not that saint.” The three of you leave the food court making your way to the screening room.
Your smile falter seeing the man in the suit standing by the door of the screen room elena and rose to stand startled at your sides.
Elena let out startled yelp she hold on to your sleeve while rose take a hesitant step back “You were dead?”
Elijah pulls his hand out his pocket offering very not innocent smile “For centuries now.” He glance at elena she cower behind you making him asse you wondering the reason for to cling on to you.
“Interesting!” he takes a step forward, the popcorn in your hand disappears, making him halt. You palm glow red. Joans concern rings in his head. He can hear Elena’s heart beating out of her chest while rose fear is visible, yet you seems not afraid not really surprised, confused at best his appearance.
He offer a gentle smile “No need for hostility, I just came for chat.” He glance at Elena “You have my word.” Elena steps forward nodding at you,
“Forgive the intrusion. I mean your friends no harm.” Elijah says watching the red mist on your palm dissipates into nothing. Rose on the hand still looks sceptical near you.
Elijah walks closer motioning the three of follow him he sits on the chair near table at the food court where the three of you just been, he motion to sit down Elena does hesitantly so, while you and rose remine stand he rise a brow at that you mimic the action making him smile in amusement. He turns to elena “Klaus is the most feared and hated of the Originals, but those that fear him are desperate for his approval. If word gets out that the doppelgänger exists, there'll be a line of vampires eager to take you to him and I can't have that.”
“Isn't that exactly what you're trying to do?”
“Let's just say that my goal is not to break the curse.” Ellijah reveals you and rose share a glance.
“She said the curse is fake.” Rose speak nodding towards you, Elijah glance up the two of you.
You shrug “Sound fake.”
“Well, klaus believe it enough to cause carnage.” Elijah counters his tone had a hidden edge he becomes more guarded at the revelation you knowing more than you should.
You glance at Rose; I don’t trust him. Her eyes widen hearing your voice in her head she turns to you.
is that you?
You nod walking over to set the table across from them rose follows sitting opposite of the round table.
“So, what is your goal?” Elena asks growing more confident as the conversation continue.
“Klaus' obsession has made him paranoid. He's a recluse. He trusts only those in his immediate circle.”
“Like you?”
“Not anymore.”
“You don't know where he is, do you? So, you're trying to use me to draw him out.”
“Well, to do that I need you to stay put and stop trying to get yourself killed.” Elena looks sheepish at him.
“How do I know you're telling the truth?”
“If I wasn't being truthful, all your family would be dead and I'd be taking you to Klaus right now. Instead, I'm here and I'm prepared to offer you a deal.”
“What kind of a deal?”
“Do nothing. Do nothing, live your life, stop fighting and then, when the time is right, you and I shall draw out Klaus together and I shall make sure your friends remain unharmed.”
Last time he promised me that my friend end up dead. Rose thinks memorise of Trevor rushes making her water line slowly fills up, you frown at that though you can’t tell her truth. You cover her palm with your hand squeezing it gently. She gives you appreciative nod.
“And then what?
“Then I kill him.” You and rose turns to Elijah shocked wondering what made him say so.
“Just like that?”
Elijah nods affirmative “Just like that. I'm a man of my word, Elena. I make a deal; I keep a deal.
“How are you gonna be able to keep everybody safe?”
“I notice you have a friend Bonnie” Elijah turns to you thinking you’re bonnie you don’t correct, “is it? She seems to possess the gift of magic. I have friends with similar gifts.”
Elena shakes her head “That’s not bonnie, she’s, her sister.” Elena says your name; you sigh leaning back on the chair.
Elijah says your name testing it with smile though you don’t like it one bit, you turns to him “You know witches?”
Elijah nods “Together, we can protect everybody that matters to you. So, do we have a deal?” he turns to elena she nods they shake hands.
Elijah stands up and leaves speeding away Elena looks relaxed she lets out laugh “I need to tell stefan and damon.”
Rose glance at you seeing your pensive look “You alright?”
“Yeah.” You stand up check the time the movie might have started but you need it “You still want to watch the movie.”
Elena shake her head giving you apologetic smile “I have to tell them.” You nod having already expected this. Elena leaves rose hung back with you.
“You should go with her.” you tell her “Just in case.” She nods.
She look down at ring “Thank you for that again.” You wave off “I think I am staying here and I think I can make new friends here.” She look at you hopeful.
“Trevor would want that.” She looks at you resigned expression before humming the two of you walks to the screen room, she leaves with a final goodbye. You open the door and goes inside finding an empty row you settle yourself; the popcorn and drink appears in your palm.
When the movie ends its evening, stiles had texted you saying he would pick up from the theatre and true to his word he is outside the theatre when you step out the cinema.
His enthusiast grin at seeing you lift you up, making you smile as well “Hey, there sweetheart.” He open the door for you.
“Why you have that look on your face.”
He pouts playfully checking himself in the mirror “You mean my handsome face.” You laugh pushing his face aside.
He starts the jeep driving past your home “Where are we going?”
“To our spot” you hum driving out to the abandoned children’s park where the three of you goes from time to time. Scott is already there, alcohol in his hand, the two of you walks toward him, it is few minutes away from the derek’s loft.
Scott hug you as you come closer “You’re still pouty.” He sits down pulling you with him to the rusty bench.
“That’s because the new kid is hitting on bonnie, he has two competitions now.” Stiles says gleefully settling next to you he throw his hand over you shoulder only for scott to push it away making you laugh.
“Don’t laugh at his pain in front of him stiles.”
He gives you devious smile “So I can do it behind his back.” Scott whine hiding his face on your hair. You hit stiles on his shin.
“She will come around scott, you are best guy and I approve of this.” You comfort him rubbing his hand that’s holding you hostage.
Stile’s nod having enough of bothering his friend “Yeah, wipe that sad look on your face you look like a kicked puppy, which is weird since you are a werewolf “
Scott’s pout deepen “That didn’t help.”
You stand up pulling scott up “What do you want to do?” you ask he shrugs.
“Nothing.” He said thinks “I just want to be quite for a minute” you nod turning to stiles
“You heard him.”
Stiles sighs but nod nonetheless you lay down on the grass scott follows laying on your left side, stiles take your left the sky is getting dark faster because of woods. You let out exhale lifting your palm you waves the sky clears starts gets visible the wind is cold but not too much that it shivers.
The three of you lay still watching the sky and clouds drift away, minutes pass you feel scott hand squeeze your palm making you glance at him, his eyes is fixed on the sky, you turn back to the sky with a smile, doing the same with stiles.
Stiles smiles watching the sky, his silence can only last few minutes “This is weirdly therapeutic”
Scott huffed a quite laugh, his eyes crinkles nodding his head.
“Oh my god, that one looks a dick.” Stiles exclaim in shock he points the one he found, stiles discovery had you and scott literally rolling on the floor because it indeed look like one. The three of you wheeze further as he continue “Should I call NASA now, am I an astronomer now!”
Stiles smile heartly seeing his friends laugh, his gaze is soft and tender he turns to the sky as the peculiar arrangement of stars blinks more brightly as if is agreeing with his observation. You and scott gather yourself, stiles hand you the liquor the three of take turns and finish the bottle.
The three of you unaware of the eyes that watching you since you left the cinema, Elijah had run a quick background check imagine his surprise after learning that you had almost two months ago, Luca had sent pictures of your memorials and the messages your fellow students placed on your grave bonnie to avoided about talking about you with him.
There is no room for confusion Jonas said that you are indeed the scarlet witch, a myth that should not exist something more powerful than them, the best approach would be remain neutral with you since they don’t fully know what you are really capable of you.
His finds gives a brief window to uncover who you are, you circle include Scott McCall and Stiles Stilenski your close friends along Lydia Martin, danny Maclaine, and Jackson Whittemore Who is close friend of Tyler Lockwood.
You had nearly died before died according to the files and you also have association with Derek Hale, who is survivor of the town’s infamous Hale fire. You are part of a peculiar pack.
Least to say you are intriguing in every way.
Elijah can sense someone walking towards from the other side he prepare himself to act accordingly, winning over you trust would do him good. The three of you are in intoxicated bliss as the person steps closer, he’s tall, dark hair wearing a red henley and a scowl on his face well build and he’s not alone beside him is another male shorter compared to the tall man though he’s smiling or rather amused seeing the three of huddled together.
Scott hears him first his face split into a sheepish smile, lopsided he hide the bottle inside his hand.
The tall man scowl deepen “Are you three stupid, didn’t I tell you not to be out here.” He scan the crowd his eyes almost fall on Elijah the shining red eyes and the familiar scent of had him realise that its derek hale, the alpha of your pack.
Elijah leaves but not before casting a final glance at your group.
Intriguing indeed.
“Clam down nephew” the peter says “They are fine.” He takes the bottle in his hand from scott’s hand its nearly empty, his brow rise with an impressed look on his face, is this melissa stash or Noah that’s what he thinks.
Stiles points at derek with an accusing finger “Yeah, don’t be such a sour wolf.” His words is slurred. You repeat after stiles though it’s mumbled your head sways to side hair falling all over your face.
derek frowns crouches down in front you look at him for second leaning over your fingers push his down turned lips upward.
Stiles frown at that “No. he’s ugly don’t touch it.” Stiles pull your hands to him wiping it on his jacket with had you laughing uncontrollably. Ironically enough derek is no where near the term ugly.
He stands up turning to his uncle “Take them to loft.” He turns to scott giving the male look that had him stand up stumbling.
“But I wanna my home.” you pouts still sitting, stiles turns you towards him saying your name.
“You want your home?” stiles asks you nod vigorously hair covering your face stiles squish your face. “Anything for my shortcake.”
Derek huff crossing his arm “You can’t drive.” He turns to peter “Drag him if you have to, you three are staying in loft.”
You and stiles hug each other cheeks pressed together shaking your head simultaneously, scott is held back by peter like a pup by his neck making him whine when he couldn’t join the hug. Derek let out a loud exhale.
“Aww they are so cute.” The peter muses taking his phone out his pocket snapping the picture of you two, which further annoy derek his vein pop.
Derek pull stiles up and give him to peter who put down the bottle after drinking the last bit and hold both whining scott and stiles without breaking sweat. Derek doesn’t pull you as you stubbornly sit there, hands digging into the ground.
“She’s like feral cat.” Peter coos laughing at you though its not mocking but almost sounding fond.
Derek sighs his hand on his hip as he ask you stand up you shake your head repeating you want to go your home. he turns to peter telling him to go back to the loft, the man drag the two to the loft, he walks away the two idiots the third is still on the ground derek crouch down again.
“Can I know why you don’t like staying in the loft?” derek ask without the earlier scowl on his face. “Do you don’t like the bed?”
You blow a raspberry “I want my bed” looking down at ground fighting sleep swaying gently.
“My car is at workshop.” He glance at stiles jeep walking over it he looks disappointed he walks over your blinking figure “How about we walk to the loft and take stiles key and I will drive you to home.”
You purse your lip thinking then shake your head, hair sticking to your forehead “No you makes me stay there.” You stand up pushing yourself up stumbling “walk.” You mutters in between yawn pushing your hair away from your face.
Derek lips curl upward; he shake his head smiling fully “You are stubborn.” You stumble through the woods derek follow close beside you. You stop after taking few steps he catch up to you turn to him letting yourself fall against his chest “I’m tired.”
He wrap his had around you humming, you yawn closing your eyes, derek doesn’t hesitate he swap you off the ground carrying you, walking to the direction of your home, which is fairly far away, though he doesn’t speed walking in normal pace worried that might upset your stomach alcohol and all.
Katherine is sipping the blood that you left for her when she hears sound of footsteps outside the tomb, she calls out your name frowning when she doesn’t receive any answers she speeds to the entrance and shocked and frighted to see Elijah stands on the threshold looking starkly out of place in his perfect suit and styled hair.
“Hello Katherina, thank you for having a good sense to be frightened.” He give her sly smile look at the tomb with amusement “quite a place you have, and I see you have new acquaintances” Katherine raise an eyebrow at that. Elijah says your name.
“We hardly acquaintance” she state Elijah hums his one hand in pocket.
“But you seems comfortable enough with her.” he speeds towards her his pupil dilatates “What is she?”
Katherine eyes dilatates as well as the completion works “I don’t know really on the surface she seems like a witch but much more powerful than any witches I heard and encountered.” The words pour out her mouth without hesitation “She was dead for month but suddenly came back alive and human.”
“She resurrected herself?” Elijah muses a shadow casted over his face pondering the information and the quite possibility of it. There are record of deceased witches possessing human body but one coming back to one’s actual body simply unheard of. “The possibility of scarlet witch indefinite, it seems.”
Katherine frowns her eyebrow squinted at him “Who is the scarlet witch?”
Bonnie as usual draw your curtains letting the light inside make you groan hand reaching out pull the blanket over your face.
She sits down on your bed “I need the moonstone” you doesn’t respond making her pull your blanket away.
“I need to study it.”
“You can’t do anything Bonnie leave it.” You mumble making her frown she slap you the shoulder.
“I will be the decider of that.” She stands up shaking you “Give it to me.” It’s clear that she had taken offence of your estimations, you sit up and sure enough she’s giving you a heated glare. You wave your hand the moonstone appears in your palm she takes it but before she can leave an invisible shield appears before her making her sigh and glance at you.
“Don’t do anything stupid.” You pleads she nods before walking away, you fall back on your bed wondering what she is up to but you can’t dwell on that longer as your phone rings its jackson “What is it?”
“Hmmm, there is bunch werewolf came to meet Tyler. They are in my house now.” You sit up that.
“What? Why?”
“Something about Mason going missing? And I may have accidently told him how damon guy tried kill his uncle.”
You face palm standing up rushing to bathroom “Call derek now. Mason is alive he just left the town.”
“Derek don’t have phone.”
“Yes, he does.”
“No, he don’t.” jackson repeats again making your frown. “Just hurry up and bring him.” You cut the call and call derek he picks up on the first ring.
“Go to Jackson’s house. Right now.” You cut the call rushing to fresh up as fast you can you.
Derek on the side frown but take his jacket off his chair, rushing out the house to get his car driving to Jackson’s house.
When he reach there, he sees few new faces steps out the house Jackson and Tyler behind them, they stop sensing his presence.
“Who are they, Jackson?”
The woman and man asses derek “Who are you?” the woman asks.
“He’s our pack alpha. Derek Hale.” Jackson speak up, the woman’s eyes widen turning to Tyler and Jackson, they had known “They are Mason’s friends.”
“I didn’t know you were in pack.” The woman says looking at Tyler who shrugs, derek walks towards them she turns to them. “It’s nice to know he has pack. My name is Jules.” She points at the man beside her “this is Brady.”
Derek nods “You are here for Mason?”
Jules nods walking over to derek the rest follow “We know he came here for looking for the moonstone, and now he’s missing.”
“She’s right he hasn’t picked up his phone. All call is leaving to voicemail. Did damon and stefan killed him?” Tyler ask standing in front of derek.
“Tyler, your uncle is fine and alive. He was attacked by Damon it is true but scott saved him.” He reassure eyes drifting between Tyler and mason’s friends.
“Then why hasn’t he answered his phone the next full moon is coming. We know how hard it for Mason” Jules’s question glancing at Tyler who looks worried and scared for his uncle and about the upcoming full moon. “We are also here to help Tyler.”
Derek jaw clenches “I can promise you he left the town alive what might have happened after that I don’t know.” He glance at Tyler before to Jules and Brady “Tyler is my responsibility now; he is part of my pack.” Both Tyler and jackson looks shocked since derek didn’t answer anything earlier when Jackson used you into make Tyler to be part of the pack. “I am more than capable of guiding him.”
Jules and Brady can’t fight on that especially since it’s the pack alpha that speaking to them, brady nods at Jules, she exhale nodding at derek “What about Mason, we don’t if he’s alive, what if the Salvatore had done something to him.”
“There is no chance of that, I had helped him to get out the town.” Derek voice was even and he said with such convention that had Jules and Brady frown, if what he saying is true why haven’t mason answered his calls especially when the next full moon is closer.
“We are not leaving until we find out what happened to him.” Brady state staring at derek without flinching. It ticked off the latter not like it one bit.
Jackson says your name which had them all turn to look behind derek and sure enough you are there. You walk closer to them standing beside derek “We can find him; no need get antsy.” You turn to derek “Right.” He exhale his frame relaxing.
you turn to Tyler “You have anything mason left behind?” Tyler shake his head with a frown wondering what you are up to. You hum thinking.
“No problem.” You offer him comforting smile before turning to Jackson “You got a spare room.” Jackson nod ushering you inside. Derek, follow you close behind, Tyler motion to Jules and Brady to follow, walking back inside the house.
Jackson shows you the guest bedroom as the rest hung on the living room across the room, the guest room was neat and big bigger than your room, with a large bed enough for two people to sleep in and plenty enough to move around.
You hum turning to them “this will do.” Standing on the middle of the room “You might wanna step out. Don’t want to spook you.”
Derek nod turning to jackson “Get out.”
Jackson frown “But I wanna see!” derek rise his brow at him standing like disappointed father but his stance do the work as Jackson scoff stepping out the room, the door close behind him making him more annoyed.
“You don’t want to step out?” You ask again to derek, he shake his head standing by the door like a dutiful knight his hands crossed over his chest, broad shoulders straight and strong, the leather black Jacket straining as he moves.
Derek watches You shrug, handing him your phone, closing your eyes arms limb beside your clothing changes into that of the scarlet armour, pinnacle appearing, soon you’re floating on the floor legs crossed under you, your eyes moves under your eyelids frantically, glowing orange tendrils sweep out of your body like branch of trees, the room transform into a dark void.
Countless figures of people in red mist float around, derek catch a glimpse of stiles and scott at the Loft before more appears and the number of the people grows and grows he glance back at you, his eyes are wide at the power you possess, your frantic movement of your eyes stops as one figure starts to pulse brighter the rest is dimming down, you open your eyes bright red iris the figure is laying on floor, derek can faintly make out Mason’s figure the rise and fall of his chest is the only indication that he is alive.
Suddenly you cringe in pain the magic breaks, derek catches you before you drop down on the floor you yelp in pain the door is kicked open Jackson rushes inside with the other, their eye widen seeing you entirely different from.
“What the hell?”
Derek turns to them “Get out” his eyes flash red the order had them instinctively step out the room, derek looks down at you in his hands. “You alright? What happened?”
You take a sharp breath steadying yourself you nod “Yeah, he’s alive.” You shake your head blinking the headache away “But its like he can’t get out where ever he is.” Derek nods helping you stand up “there is magic there, someone shut me out.” You mumble you change back to normal.
You blink for a second during the search you caught a glimpse of bonnie with a guy on and moonstone is with them, dread starts to settle inside your bones “Bonnie, I need to get her.” you stumble out the room pushing derek away, jackson, Tyler and rest watch you hurry to the door.
Derek caught your wrist turning to him “Hold on, you’re not well.” You huff pulling your hand away from only for him to tighten his hold on you, the rest watches in anticipation as your face twist into an ugly scowl drastically different from the earlier, derek can see the faint glowing vein on your skin. The lights around the room starts to flicker making them glance around nervously.
“It’s alright.” He is leaning down to catch your heated glare with soft eyes “She’s fine, everything is fine.” His voice is almost akin to whisper “I will come with you; I will take you to your sister.”
He steps closer pushing his calmness on to you, the steadiness of him making your head clear as you clam down. “Why don’t you just wait for me in the car.” He squeeze your wrist, the pulse underneath his touch is slowing down. “Alright?” you nod stepping out the house.
He lets out heavy exhale he turns to them “Mason is alive and well, but he’s held captive by someone.” He let them know before turning to Jackson “Don’t do anything stupid. just stay put.” he fix Jackson look that had the him nodding.
Bonnie’s walking to Elena’s house to share the news that the moonstone had been destroyed that she doesn’t have sacrifice her life, just as she goes to open the door to Elena’s house, she hear you call her name from behind. Getting out black Camero with derek hale on your toe.
“What happened to the moonstone?”
Bonnie gives you reassuring smile “It’s fine, I had help. The moonstone is destroyed.” You shake your head.
“No, it is not, if it was, I would’ve felt it.” You snap make her frown the loudness of your voice attract the two gilberts of the residence “The moonstone is made specially to fuck over the doppelgangers; Petrova doppelganger it can’t be destroyed just like that.”
Elena walks stands next to bonnie “the new witch friend of your is with Elijah bonnie?” you spat stressing the word friend though the anger directed towards the guy who manipulated bonnie.
“Elijah promised me he won’t let anyone I care about hurt.” Elena says looking at both of you.
You let out a dry chuckle “Yeah, right. And Mason being captured by witches are coincidence.”
“Wait, what?” bonnie looks concerned at the information especially since the last time she had hand in hurting him bad something that she had yet to apologize for.
You take a deep breathe calming yourself down, and nods “He is being held captive there was magic, strong one it shut me down.”
“Why would Elijah would do that?” elena asks wondering if he is really the one behind the disappearance of Mason, though Mason is not someone she explicitly closer to she doesn’t want anyone get hurt because of her.
“I should just ask them then.” You mutter derek close his eyes for a second internally for the first time praying stiles would be here, the low tone and detached attitude of you makes him agitated.
He takes a step towards stopping seeing you stare at him dead on as if you know he is going to tell you back down from your impulsive thought.
“There you are!” Peter’s unexpected voice break the tension making all the eyes turns to him, he walks towards you with worried look on his face.
“Stiles and scott got into trouble.”
“What?” your voice gets high; brows furrowed in confusion. Peter face looks grim as he nods.
“Yes, they need you.”
You don’t wait anymore as dread fills your insides you took off in quick flight before he can blink leaving the them stunned.
“Am I high or she can actually fly?” Jeremy ask out loud though no one answer his question.
Bonnie turns to peter “What happened? Are they okey?”
“Oh, that was lie, nothing happened.”
Derek exhale at that while the rest look confused at that “Why would you lie to her? and shouldn’t she supposed to know if someone is lying to her.” elena ask.
Peter goes to explain but stop when both of the gilberts looks very interested to know about it. He flash a grin “oh, don’t you worry about that.” He turns to derek “We should go home.”
Derek sigh walking back to his car, peter follow he stop short glancing at bonnie “Come on.”
Bonnie gives an exasperated sigh at his serious and demanding look his gave her but reluctantly get in the backseat of derek’s car waving goodbye to elena and Jeremy.
“She was about get that moonstone back even if it mean kill the witches or anyone who try to stop her.” Peter reveals after few minutes into the drive as he look out the window. Derek and Bonnie’s head snap towards him.
“What?” bonnie voice barely above whisper in disbelief “How do you know that?”
“I told you, she and I share profound connection, unlike her saving your grams life my resurrection share a direct connection with her psyche and sometimes her emotions pour out to me when it get extreme.”
“I know the moonstone is important but I don’t think she would go that far.” Bonnie tries to reason.
Derek hands tighten around the wheel the knuckles turning white peter shake his head “A werewolf and a witch.” He looks at derek and bonnie through the rear-view mirror “with Mason already missing and you being used by that witch it was more than enough to drive of the edge.”
He sighs leaning back on his seat “Let not forget who she is, and what she capable of.” Derek jaw clenched at that
“She is just scared.” Bonnie says and derek silently agree.
“And fear can both poison you and save you.” Peter retorts.
“Did you let them know about your little plan.” Derek questions as he reach bonnies house.
Peter pause “I…give them a hint.”
Bonnie shake her head getting out the car “I still don’t like you.” She says to peter, glancing at him through the rolled down window.
Peter smiles like delighted child that high on sugar “Aww, I guess all Bennett are grumpy.” she rolls her eyes saying thank you to derek for the ride who nods at her they drive off once she’s inside.
He held himself against the tree to steady himself —gods he was so thirsty— he took a deep breath trying to control this new, and foreign, urge. His felt like he was going insane, his mind was telling him to go to Elena, to drink from her, to drain her. He pushed that urge down, no he wasn’t going to hurt her. He pushed himself up, straightening himself, turning away from the direction he was heading, away from Elena.

Blood, there was so much blood, why was there so much blood, he pulled himself back and stared down in horror at what he had just done. In front of him lay the woman with those familiar brown locks, but her eyes, those now forever unseeing eyes, stare up at him in horror is a sight that will forever be ingrained in his mind. He could hear the familiar voices of his brother and Father in the distance, but he couldn’t take his eyes off the sight that is in front of him. But before he could dwell much longer, he felt the excruciating pain of his bones breaking before everything went dark.

The first thing that left Elenas lips when she woke up was a groan, she really didn’t want to be awake. She winced as the light from the outside filtered through her curtains, into her room, and directly towards her face. She groaned once more as she turned away from the light, taking one of her pillows with her covering her head with it to block out the morning light. Letting out a satisfied sigh, Elena slowed her breathing as she attempted to fall asleep once again.
She didn’t know how long it had been since she fell asleep again, but when she had checked her phone, after freshening up, she noticed the countless missed calls from Bonnie. ‘Shoot’ she was supposed to help her with setting up the booth for the carnival. Pushing herself off the edge of her bed, she scrambled to get her shoes on. She ran down the stairs, nearly tripping on the first few steps before steadying herself on the railings, as she rushed out the door paying no attention to whoever was present downstairs.
Elena wasn’t sure how she actually made it to school, all she knew is that she was, and that right now she was apologizing to Bonnie, or at least trying to as she tried to catch her breath. Thankfully after explaining to her friend what had happened Bonnie was quick to let it go, though she did make Elena carry the heavy boxes, as Bonnie took out the prizes from the box and added some on the booths they passed by.
Half way through their walk Elena had readjusted the box, so that she was holding it with one hand, while using the other one to massage her neck hissing in pain as she did so. Bonnie looked at her worriedly asking Elena if she’s okay. Elena smiled reassuring her friend that it’s nothing and that she probably slept incorrectly, and that is why her neck hurt.
