❝DEATH KEEPS KNOCKING ON MY DOOR❞

━━━━━ ⋆⋅♥︎⋅⋆ ━━━━━

Stella wandered through the early morning fog filling the Mystic Square. The crisp air didn't bother her, being a vampire... but she was surprised by how many humans were wandering around unbothered.

She remembered her time being human, and hating the early mornings because they were so cold. She would do anything to stay snuggled in bed, but her parents wouldn't let her miss out on a day of school.

Thinking about her beloved parents, she hadn't seen Aphrodite step into view, the fellow heretic offering a smile.

"Hey." The De Martel greeted, still unsure to why the Lewis had wanted to meet up, as they hadn't talked a whole lot... but the blonde heretic had a sense of urgency in her voice when she asked for Aphrodite to meet her.

"Hey, thanks for meeting me." Stella said, taking a seat at one of the vacant wooden benches. Aphrodite took a seat beside her, "It sounded urgent." The redhead replied.

Stella nodded, "It is. It's actually about Olivia." She said, as Aphrodite turned her entire body towards the blonde, giving her utmost attention. "What about Liv?" Aphie asked, now already filled with concern.

"I... wasn't sure whether to go straight to Liv about this, because she seems like an ordinary human whilst I can tell that you're a vampire." Stella spoke, before she placed her hand over her own heart, "I can tell that you don't have a heartbeat."

"Neither do you..." Aphrodite noted, deciding not to open up to Stella about Liv being a werewitch or the Salvatore school being completely of supernaturals as she wanted to gage if the heretic could be trusted.

"I was attacked, the night of the Halloween party... by some vampire with this insane amount of strength." Stella explained, as Aphrodite's breath hitched in her throat, wondering where Stella would go with this.

"I couldn't see her face or learn her name but she was after Liv." Stella admitted, as Aphrodite's eyes widened. "What does she want with my daughter?" The De Martel asked as Stella replied, "I'm not sure... but she threatened to kill people to get to her."

Aphrodite was lost for words, as she couldn't understand why somebody would be after the hybrid, unless it was an enemy of Kiara's. Unfortunately for Olivia, Kiara had made many enemies in her time.

"I thought if I let you know, you could keep an eye out and keep Liv safe." The Lewis suggested as Aphie nodded, "Of course, thank you for telling me... just, did you see where this vampire went?" She asked.

Stella shook her head, "I have no idea, though I think she could be connected to the death of Connor." The blonde spoke, fidgeting with her hands nervously.

"We need to find her before she starts to kill people we actually care about." Aphrodite spoke with urgency, but how could you look for somebody when you knew absolutely nothing about them?

━━━━━ ⋆⋅♥︎⋅⋆ ━━━━━

"Okay, so we have a problem." Caroline announced, looking to Alaric, Lucas, Lizzie, Charlie and Josie. "The Necromancer brought Kiara back from the dead and he isn't stopping there. I saw Tristan De Martel walking on the school oval this morning." The Forbes explained as her family looked confusedly at her.

"Well, what did you do with him?" Alaric asked as Caroline shrugged awkwardly. "I annoyed him enough until he found peace and completely disappeared." She confessed reluctantly as Lucas couldn't help but to laugh.

"We need to be on full alert because our students loved ones are coming back from the dead and all looking for the school's knife... Any suggestions?" The Salvatore asked, for once not having any of her own.

"I may have a question." A voice spoke up, as the door to the headmasters office opened, and Caroline's breath hitched in her throat as her eyes landed on the familiar figure.

"What am I doing here?" Asked the man standing before them, who they all recognised as Stefan Salvatore. "Stefan." Caroline spoke before her feet moved for themselves and she rushed towards her late husband.

Upon reaching him, she threw her arms around him and tightly hugged the former vampire, as he hugged her back.

"Dad.." Charlie blurted, as he couldn't believe his eyes. Lizzie, Josie and Lucas all looked astonished, as they looked at their stepfather.

"Charlie— oh my god look at how grown up you are." Stefan confessed, as he pulled away from his wife to go and embrace his son. Charlie hugged Stefan back as tears pooled in his eyes.

Lizzie, Lucas and Josie sheepishly approached Stefan, wanting to hug him as well as comfort Charlie, so with that Stefan invited them in for a group hug.

"You've all grown up so much..." Stefan spoke, seeming proud of them... something that Alaric didn't seem to often show.

Caroline smiled sadly at her husband as he hugged her kids, as she couldn't help but to wonder how long they would have with him.

━━━━━ ⋆⋅♥︎⋅⋆ ━━━━━

Liv was still fast asleep, her dream consisting of her being back inside Jackson's apartment, sitting with Jackson and Hayley.

"This is really nice." Olivia admitted, "I always wondered what it would be like to meet my Dad... I never guessed it would be in some sort of necromancy dreamscape though." She added as Jackson laughed awkwardly.

"I always wanted kids... little wolves of my own." Jackson began, "Of course I had sweet little Hope in my life but we didn't get enough time." He admitted sadly, recalling his abrupt death. Hayley placed a hand on his shoulder, clearly showing guilt and upset for the way he had died.

"If I had lived long enough, one day perhaps I could of met you." The Kenner added, flashing Olivia a smile. Liv smiled back, though she wasn't so sure Kiara would have let her meet Jackson.

Liv had always loved Kiara, even if the woman didn't show any sort of mutuality in that respect, but seeing as though she had hidden such an important part of her own life from her, she felt anger and hurt.

"Mum would never tell me who my Dad was. I always asked but she'd say something stupid like it's the mailman or it's the host of The Price is Right." Liv awkwardly said, as Hayley could sympathise in some way, having not met her parents.

"Kiara was always quite hazy when it came to any details... I knew her for a little while when she was travelling." Jackson began, "We actually spent a couple nights together in New Orleans, celebrating Mardi Gras with the rest of my pack." The Kenner added, referring to the time before himself and his pack were banished to the Bayou.

"She was a charming woman, but after a certain night together I never saw or heard from her again." Jackson declared as Hayley frowned, "Sounds like a mysterious bitch." She blurted out, before quickly looking to Liv, "No offence."

Liv shrugged nonchalantly, "I've been having doubts about my own mother lately... She's dead now and I am starting to feel that with all our time spent together, I never actually knew who she was."

"That's a shame." Jackson replied, feeling bad for his daughter. Olivia looked up at the Kenner, a sadness in her eyes as she had been robbed of the chance to meet her father before he'd died.

Hayley looked at the pair, still taken back by the resemblance. Little did she know, a lot of people had told Kiara that Olivia didn't look a lot like her... essentially she was a mini version of Jackson.

"I have this feeling that I'm going to wake up soon." Liv spoke sadly, as Jackson nodded understandingly. "We won't keep you then." He decided, getting to his feet.

Liv stood up, noticing that Jackson was going for a hug. She'd never received those from her own mother, so she was a little surprised at first. Nevertheless, the Auclair moved to hug Jackson, as Hayley watched the pair with a smile.

"I hope I'll get to see you again." Liv said, pulling away from her father. "We'll meet again someday." Jackson reminded her, with a warm yet sad smile.

Hayley approached the pair now, "Sweetie, before you wake up... can I ask that you send a message for me?" The Marshall-Kenner asked. "Sure." Liv turned to face Hayley. "Can you please just... remind Hope and Tori that I love them... and that I'm so, so proud of them."

Liv smiled at the woman, "Of course." She decided as a look of relief yet sadness graced Hayley's features. She hated that her daughters were living in a world without their parents.

Olivia turned to face Jackson one last time, and flashed him a smile. She was about to say goodbye, but didn't get the chance as she began to wake up.

━━━━━ ⋆⋅♥︎⋅⋆ ━━━━━

Awake early, Hope found herself getting changed into clothes suitable to run in, as she wanted to go for a jog before her day started.

The tribrid looked over at Tori, who was her new roommate since Amelia's departure, and noticed how peaceful her sister looked while sleeping.

Hope had spoken to Amelia briefly since the Claire-Mikealson had departed, and the heretic insisted that she was sorry for how she left things but regardless she hadn't reached out to Tori.

Amelia was family, and Hope would always love her, but she wouldn't hold back if she was to hurt her baby sister again.

Tori stirred in her sleep, before her eyes shot open. Upon seeing Hope, she scowled "Was that you calling my name?" She asked, as Hope seemed surprised.

The tribrid shook her head, "No. I've been keeping quiet so that you could sleep." She replied. Tori sat upright, "I... heard somebody chanting my name, that's all.... Actually it happens most nights while I sleep..." The hybrid explained, not understanding why this was happening.

Hope seemed intrigued by this, but considering her past she actually didn't think it was the weirdest thing she had heard. "I wonder if somebody is trying to call out to you in your dreams... you know, the Necromancer has been messing with a lot of students dreams." The Mikealson trailed off.

Tori shook her head, "It's been happening long before the Necromancer came to the school." She dismissed the idea, before she got out of bed and approached her dresser.

"Hey... are you okay after what happened with Amelia?" Hope asked, facing Tori as the blonde rummaged through her drawers. "Of course. Why wouldn't I be?" Victoria responded bluntly as Hope frowned, "You were really upset about her leaving."

Tori turned to face Hope, "I cracked and had a moment of weakness. But I don't care, Amelia doesn't mean anything to me, just like everybody else."  The younger Mikealson declared as she took her uniform from her drawers and went into the sisters shared bathroom to change.

Moments later, Tori exited the bathroom and walked over to the door to leave her dorm. Hope followed in suit, wanting to try and talk more to her and appeal to the emotions she claimed she didn't have, before going on her run.

"It's okay to be upset, Tori." Hope insisted, closing her door behind them as they walked through the corridor. "I promise you Hope, I'm not upset." Tori huffed in annoyance.

The pair turned a corner, and stopped dead in their tracks as they saw Camille O'Connell before them, talking to MG and Alyssa as she was trying to make sense of where she was.

Tori's eyes widened, "Mum?" She blurted. Hope seemed just as surprised, though her expression softened into a smile upon seeing her Stepmum. "Cami." She said, in a happier tone.

"Tori, Hope! Oh wow you've both grown up so much!" Cami blurted, before she rushed to the sisters using her vampire speed as she threw her arms around them.

Hope hugged Cami back, whilst Tori seemed rigid and stiff. "Why are you here? And not six feet under..." Victoria huffed, as Cami let go of the pair.

"What a lovely way to greet your dead mother." Cami spoke, seeming a little amused. Of course, she knew Tori had her humanity off since herself and Klaus were always watching over their daughters, but she didn't know just how harsh Victoria really had become.

Even though it was obvious, Hope decided go enlighten her, "Tori turned off her humanity."

"Oh... well, we can't have that, sweet little." Cami declared, placing her hand on Tori's cheek as the hybrid swatted it off. "There's nothing wrong with feeling things..."

"God, between you and Hope I have heard it all." Victoria complained before she walked off, not wanting to hear anymore. Hope looked to Cami sadly, feeling sorry for her stepmother, though the O'Connell didn't seem disheartened by her daughter's behaviour... infact she looked determined.

"I don't know how much time I have here, but I'm going to try to get through to her." Cami insisted, facing Hope. The Mikealson nodded, a little teary eyed at the realisation that she could literally see her dead stepmother, who she didn't think she'd ever see her again.

Camille noticed this and stepped forward to embrace Hope, who instantly hugged her back as a tear rolled down her cheek. "I've missed you so much." Hope insisted, with a slight sniffle. "I miss you, Mum and Dad so so much."

Cami held the tribrid, as she was keeping her own tears at bay. "I miss you too sweetie, we all miss you and Tori so much... but we're all so proud of you." The O'Connell insisted. "You're both more amazing than we ever could have imagined." She added, as Hope felt like sobbing at these words.

━━━━━ ⋆⋅♥︎⋅⋆ ━━━━━

Olivia's eyes fluttered open, though an instant feeling of sadness washed over her when she realised she was no longer dreaming of being in New Orleans with her father and his wife. The werewitch sat up, not realising that she was teary eyed upon the ordeal.

Myrical, who was standing by their mirror placing her hair into space buns, turned to face the Auclair as she heard her sit up. "Morning Livvy." She said, though her face fell when she saw Olivia's eyes filled with tears.

"Good morning Riri." Liv answered, lifting a hand to wipe away a tear. Myrical abandoned her hairstyling and approached her best friend with a worried expression on her face.

"Liv, what's wrong?" The Benning asked, moving to sit beside the other ravenette. "I think I just saw my Dad for the last time." Liv answered, feeling foolish for crying over it as she considered herself lucky to have met him in some way... it was more than Myrical could say about her own mother unfortunately, since Mae Benning had died giving birth to her.

Regardless, Myrical didn't see it as selfish for the Auclair to cry about it, though she was a little jealous as she hadn't seen her biological mother in any way, shape or form despite really wanting to meet her.

"I'm so sorry Livvy." Myrical confessed, as she hugged the Auclair. Olivia hugged Myrical back, letting a couple of tears fall. "I'm sorry... I know how selfish I must seem right now..." Liv admitted as Myrical pulled away for a moment, to meet Liv's eyes.

"I know how much you want to meet your Mum." Liv spoke, in hardly a whisper. Myrical felt tears pool in her eyes, but she blinked them away. "Of course I want to meet my mother but... that doesn't make you selfish for being sad about your own situation with your Dad." The Benning replied.

Myrical eventually got up from Olivia's bed, as the Auclair wiped away her tears. "Hey... do you wanna have matching space buns today?" The other werewitch asked, as she was now standing back by the mirror, finishing her own hairstyle.

Liv let out an awkward laugh, wiping away the last of her tears before she eagerly nodded. "Yeah, Ri! I'd love that." The ravenette smiled.

━━━━━ ⋆⋅♥︎⋅⋆ ━━━━━

Aphrodite found her way back to the school, though she came to a confused halt upon seeing a familiar face in the courtyard.

"No fucking way." Aphrodite blurted out, her lips curving into a smile as her eyes landed on the brunette who looked insanely lost.

"Violetta Odessa Auclair!" The De Martel called out, as the stranger spun around, her confused expression turning into a smile as she recognised her former lover.

"Aphrodite." Violetta spoke before she rushed over to embrace the smaller redhead. Aphrodite let out a surprised laugh as she hugged the Auclair back.

"I can't believe this is happening... you're actually here right now." Aphrodite confessed once the pair broke apart, as she looked at the brunette. "Somehow, I'm really here... but I think we have a problem on our hands Aph." Vio sighed.

"What might that be?" Aphrodite asked, other than perhaps the obvious fact that people's loved ones were somehow coming back to life temporarily.

"My descendant, Kiara Auclair is also alive and... she has malicious intentions." Violetta stated as Aphrodite's face fell, "Kiara is alive?" She asked as the brunette quickly nodded.

The De Martel felt rage fill her, as she thought about how miserable Olivia had become once Kiara died... and how the evil wench was alive again yet hadn't wanted to see her daughter even once. It was a onesided love, something that everyone but Olivia could see.. it broke Aphie's heart.

"That fucking skank—" Aphrodite began to seethe before she came to realise something. "Vio, I think you might be able to help my daughter with something." The heretic then realised. "Then we can take the wicked witch down."

━━━━━ ⋆⋅♥︎⋅⋆ ━━━━━

By the oval stood Caroline and Alaric, watching as their children played football with Stefan, who was technically their parent also... the trio had always coparented with the triplets.

The Salvatore woman was listening in, as Lizzie and Charlie were competitively shoving eachother so that they could catch the ball once Stefan threw it. Lucas and Josie stood behind them, hoping the Salvatore may throw it pass their competitive siblings and to either of them.

"They look so happy." Alaric stated, watching as they all played football together. "They do... it's nice. You haven't given them much of a reason to be happy lately." Caroline stated, as Alaric shot her a surprised look. "Excuse me?" The Saltzman asked.

"Well let's see... you tried to marry off our son to the Diamond's to help keep Leanne's donations coming in, to cover up the school's financial issues that you have been hiding from me." Caroline began, keeping a glare on the man she coparented with. "And due to the said financial issues you stopped sending Lizzie to my very carefully selected psychologist." She added, her glare deepening.

"Did I mention that you deadnamed Charlie?" Caroline added, as she kept listing off ways Alaric had hurt her children. "Oh and you haven't been tracking their attendance otherwise you would have noticed that Josie was constantly ditching class to hang out with Penelope. Do you even care about our kids, Ric?" The vampire demanded, in a visibly annoyed huff.

"I'm dealing with a lot, okay?!" Alaric responded in a tone that was just as irritable. "I have had to allow several kids into this school from a broken, messed up academy per your request... I'm not just looking after our kids right now, but also the many strays you dragged in." The Saltzman insisted, getting across that he was stressed.

"The whole point of this school was to help students like our kids, Ric! If you needed more help, you should have told me! You shouldn't have been keeping things from me, or neglecting our kids in the process." Caroline snapped back.

As the pair bickered, they hadn't realised that Stefan and the Saltzman/Salvatore kids had stopped playing football, as they had caught on that Caroline and Alaric were arguing.

Seeing Alaric raise his voice at Caroline made Charlie's expression turn angry. Lucas, having an extra amount of hatred towards his father due to the arranged marriage, also found himself to be pissed at the way Alaric was speaking to Caroline.

"I wish I could hear what they are saying... I bet Mum is spitting facts." Lizzie spoke up, trying to break the awkward silence between the family. Stefan looked to the blonde as she spoke.

Not wanting her triplet to paint their father in a bad light in front of their stepdad, Josie quickly spoke up. "Dad's been really stressed lately. He doesn't mean to be so..." She trailed off, trying to find the right words.

"Douchey? Selfish? Unbearable?" Lucas tried to finish his sister's sentence but was met with a frown. "He isn't any of those things." Josie defended Alaric, hoping that Lizzie would be on her side, but after Alaric's most recent stunt the blonde siphon definitely couldn't agree with her.

"Jo, he tried to marry Lucas off to Satan incarnate." Charlie reminded Josie as the ravenette didn't reply. She knew he was right, and there was nothing Josie could say to defend Alaric for what he had tried doing to Lucas... throwing your child into an arranged marriage in this day in age was completely dehumanising and humiliating.

"I'm sorry, he did what?" Stefan asked, with a look of concern. "Ric tried to marry me off to the school's rich mean girl per her mother's request." Lucas began, "Because her mother donated a large amount of money to the school and apparently we had money problems that he was trying to hide." Lizzie explained to her stepfather.

"I think you should talk to Mum." Charlie piped up, looking to his Dad. "She said you always knew what to say to make her feel better... and right now she doesn't look happy at all." He added.

Stefan eyes were fixed on his former wife, who was about to walk off from Alaric in frustration. "I'm going to talk to her, but you guys have to promise that we'll play some football later." Stefan decided, with a half smile as he looked to his kids.

"Yes! Definitely." Charlie decided, with a look of excitement before he looked between his siblings practically expecting them to agree. "Sure, we'll play." Lizzie decided as Josie gave a nod in agreeance. The last to agree was Lucas, because he wasn't as big on football as his siblings, but of course he agreed anyway.

Stefan smiled at them, before he left to go speak to Caroline. He found the Salvatore standing outside the entrance to the main building, trying to calm down.

"Hey." Stefan piped up, catching her attention. "Hey... I thought you were playing football with the kids." Caroline replied, composing herself as Stefan approached her.

"I was... but they became worried about their Mum." The Salvatore confessed as Caroline sighed, realising that they must have seen her argue with Alaric.

"I didn't mean for them to see that... it's just, Alaric has been making so many poor decisions and it's harming them." Caroline complained, as Stefan took a step closer to her, and placed his arm around her waist.

"Why don't you stay at the school as headmistress, and send Alaric out on all these trips to Europe instead?" The Salvatore suggested, "You're definitely better at holding the fort because—"

"I know, I know... because I'm a control freak." Caroline huffed, her blue eyes staring Stefan down with a knowing look. "Perhaps... but you'd be the kind of control freak who makes sure her kids and students were okay... who'd make sure they'd go their mandatory therapy sessions and classes... who'd actually keep the school running without marrying off a child for money..." Stefan listed, half joking with the last one, though it made Caroline laugh a little which is what he had intended.

"I wish it was you by my side, helping me run the school. I wish you were here, with me." Caroline admitted, as she found herself edging closer to her former husband, pressing her forehead against his.

"I know... I do too, I really do." Stefan let out a sigh, keeping their foreheads pressed together for a moment, before he pulled away to place a kiss on her forehead.

Tears filled Caroline's eyes as she lurched forward to hug the taller Salvatore, not wanting to let go. She blinked away her tears, but remained in his arms. Stefan held the younger vampire in his arms, blinking away tears of his own.

Kiara tapped her nails on the glass cabinet, a grin on her lips as the knife she had been searching for was finally in view. The knife that Alaric stupidly returned into the exact same place Landon had stolen it from, despite knowing that creatures from Malivore were also after it.

The Auclair's eyes darkened as she used black magic to retrieve the knife without breaking the glass, so she could escape without being seen. She had done well so far considering that the students and teachers were on high alert with several loved ones being dragged back from the dead by the Necromancer.

All the Auclair had to do was take the knife to Malivore, and hope that the Necromancer would keep up his end of the deal and bring the dark mage back to life. The blonde clutched the knife in her hand, examining it with a grin, as freedom felt so close.

All she wanted was to be alive, and to go back to running her school of riled up monsters that the town would fear. She wanted power, honestly it was all she wanted... and not once had she even thought about seeing her own daughter again.

"That's the wicked witch of the east, bro—"

Kiara spun around, her eyes landing on the trio that consisted of Glen, Landon and Rafael. Glen had recognised the Auclair instantly, and frowned when she made eye contact with him.

"Oh no, you are not getting that knife!" Rafael declared, before Landon added "Especially after everything we had to do to get it back. I know first hand." He said as Rafael rolled his eyes at his foster brother's dramatics since he had been the one to steal it for some unknown reason in the first place.

"Hm, it appears to be too late. I already have it." Kiara stated, holding it up for the boys to see. "You won't be getting anywhere with it." Glen replied, before rushing towards her to try and retrieve it.

The Auclair held out threateningly in hopes the blade would scare him, but Glen didn't seem as scared as his former headmistress had hoped.

The Forde instead shoved Kiara with force, and ripped the knife out of her hand. The werewolf quickly turned to Rafael, who was already waiting for Glen to pass him the knife.

With that, Glen threw the knife as Rafael caught it by the handle and turned to run away with it and alert others that the Auclair had been hiding in plain sight all along and needed to be taken care of.

"It seems you boys need a lesson on throwing knifes, that's quite dangerous." Kiara stated, speaking with a passive aggressive tone as she was pissed off that she'd come so close to escaping.

Glen snapped his head towards his former headmaster, "And you need a lesson on staying dead. It was much more peaceful when you were six feet under." He responded as Kiara's face fell.

"That's no way to speak to your headmaster." The Auclair seethed, snapping her fingers as her magic suddenly caused Glen to feel a migraine-like pain. The Forde fell to his feet, as he clutched his head.

"No! Get away from him!" Landon demanded before he rushed towards Kiara and went to throw a punch. The Auclair dodged, and released her magic on Glen so that she could focus on fighting Landon.

Landon went to throw another punch, but Kiara caught it. Her eyes blackened over with darkness before she violently thrusted his arm forward with enough force that the Kirby's shoulder was torn out of its socket.

Landon cried out in pain, his scream sending chills down Glen's spine. "Landon!" Glen choked out, as he got to his feet and clenched his fists in anger, fully prepared to start swinging at the woman.

Using her free hand, Kiara threw out her arm, telepathically throwing the Forde across the room before she turned back to the Kirby with her eyes now completely black.

Kiara muttered a spell under her breath, before Landon's neck suddenly snapped, killing him.

"No!" Glen cried out, as Landon's lifeless body fell to the ground. The Forde scrambled onto his feet before he rushed over to Landon, while Kiara took this opportunity to flee with the knife.

"No no no..." Glen spoke quickly, visibly panicked as he saw how severe the snap had been, and with his heightened hearing he knew the Kirby no longer had a heartbeat.

The Forde let out a hurt sound that was a mix of a scream and a cry, before he looked back down at his dead friend.

"Glen?" Niko called out, as himself, Laura and Clary all rushed into the room. "We just saw Kiara leave with the knife— we tried to stop her but she cloaked herself with magic." Laura quickly said, feeling angry at herself for not being able to stop the psycho witch.

"I don't know what kind of crazy ass magic the Auclair family use, but I couldn't sense her once she cloaked herself... god, the evil bitch seriously got away!" Carice hissed with anger before she kicked the leg of the table nearest to her, taking it clean off before the now three legged table completely toppled over, its contents falling onto the carpet.

Niko was going to announce that he could read Kiara's mind and that she was going to do something very dangerous, but upon reading Glen's mind and sensing the heartbreak, anguish and anger, he stayed quiet.

The Shiratori quickly rushed past the furniture, finding Glen seated on the floor beside Landon's dead body, tears rolling down his cheeks.

"Oh my god, Landon—" Niko blurted, before Laura and Carice stepped into view, Laura lifting a hand to cover her mouth in shock while Clary's jaw dropped.

"Kiara did this... Landon was just trying to stop her from using a painful spell on me— He didn't deserve this." The werewolf managed to say, as another tear rolled down his cheek.

The psychic bent down to squat beside Glen, as he placed a hand on his shoulder. He kept his eyes on the Kirby, feeling sad for him getting involved in Kiara's warpath... she would do whatever it takes to get whatever she wants.

Tears filled Laura's eyes, as she looked away, not wanting to be seen crying. She couldn't believe that even dead, Kiara Auclair was trying to make their lives worse.

Carice felt her jaw clench, as she felt completely angry. She averted here eyes away from Landon, Glen and Niko. "Kiara needs to pay..." She began, "We can't let her get what she wants."

AUTHORS NOTE

Hayley and Cami referring to eachother's daughters also as their own daughters >>>>>>>>>

I come from a blended family myself so it just makes me so soft 🥺💗

And despite Landon taking the knife, nobody knows what creature he is yet, obviously from watching the show we do though 😂

Any predictions for the next chapter?
