Luisa walked back into the school yawing and holding Rocket's harness when a wave of fear hit her. She stopped and looked around to see if anyone was there and saw nobody which confused her.

Ghost face?! MG yelled. Luisa rushed to MG's room to see if he was in danger and once she reached his door and opened it she saw he was sitting up in his bed.

MG, are you ok? what happened? Luisa questioned MG. I just had a nightmare, MG told Luisa. Okay, I'm going back to my room now to go back to sleep, Luisa told MG. Wait, where's Kaleb? MG questioned Luisa. I have no idea, he could be in the kitchen, Luisa answered MG.

Luisa and MG entered the kitchen then MG walked to the door that held the blood bags inside. Mg opened the door and walked. Kaleb walked in quietly and stood behind the door then MG came back out holding a blood bag. Boo, Kaleb said. Ahh! MG yelled in fright. The fear quickly left MG and Luisa from being scared by Kaleb.

Come on, man, MG told Kaleb, as Kaleb laughed. Sorry, bruh, too easy, Kaleb told MG as he gently hit MG's shoulder then walked to the counter. Oh, Kaleb said. Luisa and MG watched him wipe his mouth with a towel. Where were you? MG questioned Kaleb. Just got a little peckish, went out for a midnight snack, oh, Kaleb told MG.

We good? Kaleb questioned MG and Luisa. Yup, all good, good, MG told Kaleb. Right away Luisa sensed MG was lying to Kaleb but choose to stay silent. You could always drink my blood since I see you don't like the blood bags here and you could use you blood to heal me afterwards so no one else knows, Luisa offered.  

Okay, Kaleb agreed. Night, then Kaleb told MG and Luisa. Kaleb walked out the kitchen and MG and Luisa walked toward to see the towel had blood on it.

Why did you offer to be drank from? MG questioned Luisa. That's against the rules here, MG told Luisa. Relax, I know the rules here, MG, and besides at least if Kaleb drinks my blood, he won't be rising getting caught out there by somebody or here, also You nearly feed on Penelope and you would have if Josie didn't walk in, I'm going back to bed now, Luisa told MG.

Given our recent influx of monsters, Sheriff Donavan and I have decided we need to take drastic action,  please give him your full attention, Dr. Saltzman told the students.

Like Dr. Saltzman was saying, local girls Dana Lilien and Sasha Stoteraux didn't come home last night, Dana sometimes skips town for a few days to party but this is a first for Sasha, Sherriff Donavan told the students. Thank you, Sherriff Donavan, Alaric thanked Sheriff Donavan.

Now while the knife is away with Dorain and things are quiet on his end, it won't hurt to assume the worst, if Dana and Sasha have... Alaric began. MG and Luisa both stared at Kaleb which he soon noticed. Guys if you don't stop mugging me, you heard ol' blue eyes, Dana has a history of running away, Kaleb told MG and Luisa.

I saw you feed on her, MG told Kaleb. Yeah, feed, not kidnap, MG, Luisa, I'm telling you both vampire to vampire and student to student... this ain't on me, Kaleb told MG and Luisa. Luisa felt Kaleb was telling them the truth so she went back to focusing on blocking out everyone's emotions. 

Now, I'll need a few of you to volunteer to go to Mystic Falls High under the guise of an exchange program meant to improve relations between our schools, which unfortunately is necessary, given recent events, now I give you permission to compel them, to gather materials for locator spells because any information we can get will make all the difference, Alaric said.

Lizzie stood up and turned around to be facing everybody. Well, I guess that I can set aside my differences with Dana for a day because that is what heroes do, Lizzie said. Lizzie turned around to face her dad.

So... I volunteer as tribute, Lizzie said. Luisa chucked at Lizzie's words reminding Luisa of Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games first book and first movie. You're both going to be real embarrassed when I prove you both wrong, Kaleb told MG and Luisa. 

Kaleb stood up. I'm in, Kaleb told Alaric. MG quickly stood up. I'm in, too, MG told Alaric. Hope stood up too. I'd like to help, Hope told Alaric. Since Luisa wanted to see Kaleb prove MG wrong Luisa also stood up. I'm in too, Luisa told Alaric.

Who are you and what have you done with Hope Mikaelson? Alaric questioned Hope as he booked Hope's and Luisa's hits. Alaric dodged a hit and they stopped fighting for a moment. I never got to go to a real school, I've always wanted to know what's it's like to be normal for a day instead instead of being a tri-brid loner, Hope answered Alaric. 

Hope hit Alaric's sticks which he blocked. Yeah, well, that's a bed you made for yourself, Alaric told Hope. Not looking for a social lecture, Hope told Alaric as she kicked at him and Luisa. So what's your plan with Landon, does he, like, go here now? Hope questioned Alaric.

Why? You still thinking about murdering him? Alaric questioned Hope. Alaric aimed a hit which Hope blocked then the three of them went back to training. Cause there's a knife that sat dormant for centuries that started attracting mythical creatures the day he took possession of it, Alaric told Hope. Hope did a cart wheel to dodge the hit from Alaric and Luisa. 

I'd say there's a lot we need to learn about him, Alaric told Hope. Alaric aimed a hit which Hope blocked the got her weapon around his throat. And then what? We kick him to the curb? Hope questioned Alaric. Hope let Alaric go and he walked a few steps away then stopped. 

Then we decide to do what's best for the people of this school, Alaric said. Any idea what do do with him while we search for missing mean girls? Hope questioned Alaric. As a matter of fact, yes, Alaric answered Hope.

When are we also gong to figure if Landon is human or supernatural? Luisa questioned Alaric. Don't worry, we'll figure that out later, Alaric answered Luisa.

⁓   ⁓   ⁓

I'm only going because I want to find out who's behind Dana and Sasha's disappearance or to know if they just both ran away and it's a good thing I can sense when someone is lying or being honest which is what I like about being an empath, Luisa told Mathias. 

I'm glad for that since no one can lie to you, Mathias told Luisa. It is nice for knowing who I can trust so I never have to worry about being hurt, manipulated or betrayed, Luisa told Mathias.

Be carful today, Mathias told Luisa. I'll be carful, dad, I really hope we figure this out as soon as possible and I'll see you and Rocket when I get back later, Luisa told Mathias. I'll see you when you get back, Luisa, Mathias told Luisa.

Luisa made her way out the school and to the bus and sat beside Landon. What are you doing here? Luisa questioned Landon. Dr. Saltzman told me I could be of some use today, Landon told Luisa. So, what type of supernatural being are you if you are one? Luisa questioned Landon. I really don't know, Landon told Luisa.

Luisa smiled when she sensed he was being honest. Okay then, later on we'll figure out what you are, Luisa told Landon. You believe me then? Landon questioned Luisa. I'm an empath, remember, I sense you're being honest, Luisa told Landon.

⁓   ⁓   ⁓

Luisa walked behind Landon off the bus and he stayed still for a moment. Come on, Landon, we've all got a job to do here Luisa told Landon. Luisa watched as Landon began walking and bumped into Lizzie.

Sorry, sorry, Landon apologized to Lizzie. I was making an entrance, mophead, Lizzie told Landon. Sorry, I just had a...a flashback to my freshman year here, Landon told Lizzie. Girls are missing, so get your wedgie trauma in check or leave, Lizzie told Landon. He's fine now, let it go, Hope told Lizzie. Just leave him alone, Lizzie, Luisa told Lizzie.

Okay, here's the deal, Lizzie said. Landon, you talk to any of the people you still know from when you went here, Lizzie told Landon. Lizzie turned around to face Hope. Hope, you try not to deliberately alienate the entire student body while the rest of us save the world, Lizzie told Hope. This isn't a contest, Lizzie, Hope told Lizzie. 

You're right, it's a mission, for a hero and her league of whatever's, Lizzie told Hope. Yeah, screw that, I work alone, Kaleb told Lizzie then walked away. MG, I need your compulsion skills, Lizzie told MG. Would you like to be the Robin to my Batwoman? Lizzie questioned MG.

Actually Batwoman doesn't have a Robin, she, MG told Lizzie. Metaphor nerd, let's go, Lizzie told MG. Lizzie led MG away leaving Luisa, Landon and Hope behind. Luisa held in her laughter at the look Hope and Landon gave each other.

⁓   ⁓   ⁓

This is the senior hallway, where I spent much of my formative years stuffed in every locker... except this one, Landon told Luisa and Hope the touched the locker he was talking about. 

That one doesn't open, on your left, you'll both find the bathroom, it's where I had my first kiss with a toilet, Landon told them. That is disgusting, Luisa told Landon. Luisa couldn't help but feel bad for Landon.

I'm sorry, is the fact that I'm not openly hostile to you make it seem like we're back to being friends? Hope questioned Landon. Weren't you two more than friends? Luisa questioned them. 

Uh, sorry, just, I was going for effortlessly natural, but this is all just making me really nervous, like the school and seeing Connor and being with you, Landon told Hope. Shouldn't you be talking to anyone you know, Hope questioned Landon.

That's easier said than done, there is no way Dana's clique is talking to me unless you have a spell that will make me retroactively cool, Landon answered Hope. Well, I'll talk to them, then, Hope told Landon. 

It's even worse for you, trust me, you have no idea how human high schools work, you're the new girl, might as well be radioactive, Landon told Hope. I'm sorry, you both look traumatized, is this loser bothering the both of you? A girl questioned Luisa and Hope. He keeps trying to get me to buy his mix tape, Hope told the girl. 

Gross, well we're going to lunch, you both hungry? The girl questioned Hope and Luisa. Famished, Hope told the girl. I'm not hungry, you guys go on without me, Luisa told the girl. Hope and the girl left with a few others walked behind them.

So it's just the two us of us now, I'll be using my abilities now to find out answers, Luisa said. So who do we question first? Luisa questioned Landon. Just follow me and we'll find people to question, Landon told Luisa. Lead the way, then, Luisa told Landon. Landon began walking so Luisa followed closely behind him.

⁓   ⁓   ⁓

Luisa and Landon continued walking after questioning some students and getting no information which had both Luisa and Landon feeling disappointed. 

Hey, Hope said. Both Luisa and Landon jumped in fright and surprise. They looked over at Hope and saw she was wearing cat ears on her head. Let me guess, pigtails spilled her guts and confessed to kidnapping Dana and Sasha, case closed, Landon said. 

Her name's Cheryl, and not exactly but she did invite me to tryout for the cheerleading team, Hope told Landon. Who are you right now and what is that thing on your head? Landon questioned Hope. It's a gift... from Cheryl, Hope told Landon. You're better than this, Hope, Landon told Hope. 

 Relax, Eeyore, Dana gave it to her, it's potential locator spell material, plus even though Sasha and Connor are dating, Dana was sleeping with him behind her back, Hope told Landon. Yeah, some clue, everyone at this school knows Connor's a dick, Landon told Hope. How bad is Connor? Luisa questioned Landon. 

Come on, Landon, adultery, missing girls... It's like every TV show that old people watch a "crime of passion" , I think they call it, Hope told Landon. I know Connor, he's made my life a living hell but here's not a killer, trust me, Ladson told Hope. He could be, Luisa told Landon. Trusting you is what got us into this mess in the first place, look there he is, Hope told Landon.

Landon turned around and saw Connor. So do you wanna play good cop or bad cop because I don't think "emo cop" is a thing? Hope questioned Landon. Oh very funny but while you're off making friends, me and Luisa did some sleuthing our my own, scarf in Virginia beat? Landon questioned Hope, while pointing at the girl they questioned.

Sounds like a lead, I think they call it, Landon told Hope. Landon, Luisa and Hope followed the girl to find out where she was going and to see who the vampire feeing on her was.

⁓   ⁓   ⁓

Luisa, Landon and Hope found Kaleb outside getting ready to feed on the girl they were following. Let her go, Hope told Kaleb which made Kaleb pull away from her. Date's over, it's not me, it's you, now forget this ever happened and get back to class, Kaleb told her as he used compulsion on her. The girl walked away and up the small stairs to go back inside the school to class. 

Great, Hopes already here, Lizzie said. Thought we were cool, bruh, Kaleb told Mg. Don't "bruh" him, second place or not, we know you killed Dana, Lizzie told Kaleb. Wait, Dana's dead? Hope questioned Lizzie. Is Dana really dead and not just in the process of becoming a vampire? Luisa questioned Lizzie. 

Dr. Saltzman said they found her dead from a vampire bite, MG told all of them. I didn't kill her so y'all need to get the hell outta my face, Kaleb told them. Kaleb then used his vampire speed to leave while Lizzie touch MG's arm to siphon magic from him and used magic to stop Kaleb making him feel pain and to hold his head screaming in pain.

Come on, guys, let's go, it's hero time, Lizzie told them. To the blondemobile, Hope said. They walked towards Kaleb quickly. Not so fast, Kaleb, Lizzie told Kaleb. Lizzie stopped the spell she used on Kaleb allowing him to get up and turn around to face all of them.

I told you, all I did was feed torture me all you want to but my answer's gonna remain the same... because I didn't kill Dana, Kaleb told them. Luisa felt relieved to know Kaleb was telling them the truth. Uh, he's right, Landon told everyone. 

What, so you're a mind reader now, Landon? Lizzie questioned Landon. Call it a hunch, Landon told Lizzie. Luisa and the others looked and saw Dana coming out from the bushes stumbling and there was a bit of blood in her plus she was very pale. Dana didn't look good at all.

⁓   ⁓   ⁓

We were on the way to graffiti that mill at your school, it was a harmless prank, but then I got snatched, next thing I remember, I woke up in a ditch, Dana told them. So enjoy it while you can, Lizzie, I'm sure I look like crap, Dana told Lizzie. Dana then scratched at the bite on her neck.

Oh, my God, Dana said feeling panicked and scared. What is that? Dana questioned them. It's... someone help me out here, Hope pleaded. It's the mother of all hickeys, you're fine Dana, you're just a-a little slutty, Lizzie told Dana. I don't even like any of you, I should be talking to the cops, Dana told them. 

I can't let you do that, Landon told Dana. Let me just help you to calm down, Dana, Luisa told Dana. No, don't touch me and get away from me, Dana told Luisa. Ad Somnum, Hope chanted. Dana fell asleep instantly and Luisa grabbed Dana so she wouldn't hit the ground then she lay Dana on the ground.

I mean, she can't let you do that, Landon told Dana. So you didn't kill her, you freaking turned her? Lizzie questioned Kaleb. Luisa felt anger toward Kaleb. Turned her? Kaleb questioned Lizzie. You think I want to sit and listen to that for all eternality? Kaleb questioned Lizzie. 

Luisa could still feel anger toward Kaleb even though she knew he was being honest and she quickly realized it was Lizzie who was feeling angry. 

Well ,someone did, meaning that we have a transitioning vampire on our hands, so what are we going to do with her? Hope questioned them. I can let her drink my blood we can help her adjust to being a vampire back at school, Luisa told Hope.

⁓   ⁓   ⁓

MG carried Dana on his shoulders and followed Landon behind a bus while Landon opened the backdoor and Landon jumped inside. So let me get this straight, Dana died with vampire blood in her system so she came back to life and now she's in transition and she needs to feed or die? Landon questioned them after helping MG lay Dana down on the floor of the bus.

Nailed it, bro, easy decision, right? MG questioned Landon. Huh, MG said as he wiped a white web off his hand. Luisa felt MG's confusion. We give her human blood or Luisa's blood, it's that simple, Kaleb told them. 

Not everyone wants to be supernatural, some people just want to be normal, Hope told them.  Dana's traumatized you guys, this is a huge decision, maybe we should give her a day or two, Lizzie said. She'll be dead in a day if she doesn't feed, Hope told Lizzie.

Oop's, I suck at math, Lizzie said. You should tell her the truth, my guess is that she'd be psyched to be at a place like your school... I know I would, Landon told them. You're awful quiet over there, MG, Kaleb told MG. I'm a feminist, bruh, I'm not gonna tell Dana what to do with her body, Landon's right, MG told Kaleb.

Ugh, fine, okay but to be clear, she is not joining drill team, Lizzie told them. Lizzie's hatred of Dana was powerful to Luisa that also made her feel the hatred toward Dana. Surgere, Hope chanted making Dana wake up. Dana sat up. Did I pass out? Dana questioned them.

I don't feel so well, Dana told them. We know how you feel and it's okay, you're just hungry, Hope told Dana. Anorexia was sophomore year, this is something else, Dana told them. You'll feel better after you feed, I promise, Mg promised Dana. I can help you if you want to feed, Luisa offered Dana.

Oh, shut up, for real, even thinking about eating makes me want to... , Dana began saying. Dana suddenly began puking out a dark liquid that looked black. Luisa jumped back quickly to avoid being vomited on. Luisa and everyone else felt surprised at seeing Dana puking.

Oh, damn, what did that girl eat? Kaleb questioned everyone. This also made Luisa curious at why Dana was puking and why her puke was dark. I think her soul just got on my shoes, ew, Lizzie said. Luisa moved backwards more wit the giant puddle of puke that Dana was still puking out.

I think I'm -a be sick too, MG said. Is this normal? Landon questioned them. She's puking her guts out, literally, Dana, Dana!, Hope said. Due to seeing Dana still puking, the puke itself and MG gagging like he was going to puke too also made Luisa begin gagging and Luisa puked too.

⁓   ⁓   ⁓

They stood around Dana's dead body looking down at her all feeling confused and curious as to what caused Dana's dead body to end up being like this and since none of them had ever seen anything like is before. 

Should we call your dad? Hope questioned Lizzie. Why? So he can take another bullet for you? Lizzie questioned Hope. No because whatever did this is not a vampire, it's got to be another monster from the knife, Hope told Lizzie.

Well, maybe the monster's been right in front of us all along, Kaleb said as he walked up to Landon. What? Landon questioned Kaleb. Luisa felt Kaleb's and everyone's else feeling suspicious of Landon and Landon feeling surprised. Are you serious? Landon questioned Kaleb.

Hey none of this started happening until you showed up and stole that knife, which is exactly what the other monsters came here to do, you saying it's a coincidence? Kaleb questioned Landon. Yeah, yeah, yes, I am, Landon answered Kaleb. Landon looked to the others.

You believe me right? Landon questioned them. Luisa like the others stayed silent. Luisa knew Kaleb was right about how no creatures showed up until Landon arrived and stole the knife even though she knew he was being honest, he was the cause of all this happening even since he didn't mean for all this to happen. Got it, say no more, Landon said then walked away. 

⁓   ⁓   ⁓

Luisa finished using the water in the sink to wash her mouth  since she puked and didn't have a toothbrush or toothpaste with then she exited the bathroom and went back out to see Lizzie finished using the hose to clean up after Dana. 

Nasty, yeah, so, um, I'm out of here but little piece of advice Landon could be in there right now eating fooMG told them.ls so I'll Holla, Kaleb told them, then he left. Come on, guys, if it's not Landon then what else could it be? Hope questioned them.

Spider, MG said. Luisa, Hope and Lizzie looked at MG. A big spider, an Arachne, if you want to be specific, MG told them. MG unfolded the page to show it to them. Luisa looked at the image of the spider. Lizzie took the page from MG to look at it. This is nerd porn, not real life, Lizzie told MG. 

So were Dragons and Gargoyles, the writer bases her comics off of Greek lore, an Arachne was originally a beautiful who was cursed by a jealous God and turned into a giant spider, uh, all it wants is to be human, so it wears the skin of it's prey to pass, oh, my God, it's-it's fangs are huge so they could pass for a vampire bite and it's bite liquifies it's victims! plus I found a web in Dana's hair, MG told them.

That would explain why it couldn't follow the knife out of town, an SUZ-sized insect can't exactly hitchhike unless it inhabits the body of someone, Hope said. Who, Sasha maybe? MG questioned  them. My money is still on your boyfriend, Lizzie told Hope. He's not my boyfriend, Hope told Lizzie. If we had something from it, we could do a tracking spell, Lizzie told them. 

Would it's face work? Landon questioned them. Landon held up a piece of bloody skin to show them.  Where did you get that? Luisa questioned Landon. I punched Connor and the skin on his face came off, that creature's inside his body, Landon told Luisa.

⁓   ⁓   ⁓

Luisa, Hope, Landon, Lizzie and MG ran through the woods and then the cellphone MG had began ringing. It's for you, no way I'm telling your dad what we're about to do, Mg told Lizzie as be handed the cellphone to her.

I suck at lying, Lizzie said. You're great at it, Lizzie told Landon. Lizzie gave the cellphone to Landon. You're his favorite, Landon told Hope. Landon gave Hope the cellphone. You're the hero, Hope told Lizzie. Hope handed the cellphone to Lizzie. 

Hi, daddy! Lizzie said. Hey, I thought I'd call, check in, see how things are going, Alaric told Lizzie. So good, Lizzie told Alaric. Really? Alaric questioned Lizzie. Define "good", Lizzie, because I don't think that involves me tracking down Dana's body to the glove compartment, Alaric told Lizzie.

Listen, dad, it's fine, we cracked the case, it's a spider, but, like, a big, huge, nasty spider and MG's comic books know how to kill it, Lizzie told Alaric. Comic books, really? Alaric questioned Lizzie. Lizzie, listen to me, whatever your thinking of doing, don't, okay? Alaric quests need Lizzie. 

So just tell me where you are and Matt and I will be right there, Alaric told Lizzie. And where is Hope and Luisa? Alaric questioned Lizzie. I'm sorry, dad, you're gonna have to trust me for once, Lizzie told Alaric, then she ended the call. Let's do this, Lizzie said.

⁓   ⁓   ⁓

They reached the location of the Arachne. Landon grabbed a weapon and ran inside the Old Mill but soon ran back outside. I hate spiders, Hope said as she walked inside. Lizzie, I need your help!, Hope told Lizzie. Luisa hurried behind Lizzie to get inside the Old Mill. Josie, take my hand, Hope told Josie.  

Josie hurried down the stairs and went to Hope and held her hand while Lizzie held onto Hope's other hand. Luisa finally got to see the Arachne and she was big and scary looking. Luisa ran back outside and stood beside Landon and waited for them to come back out.

Rafael carried Sasha out since she was covered in the spider's web and he lay her on the ground. Hope, Lizzie and Josie walked up covered in in liquid that looked orange. 

⁓   ⁓   ⁓

It's sad Dana's dead, I'm glad at least Sasha's still alive and that she won't remember anything supernatural that happened, Luisa told Landon and Rafael. I'm also happy you and Josie didn't end up getting killed by the spider, Luisa told Rafael.

So how did you and Josie get out the those webs? Luisa questioned Rafael. She siphoned magic by kissing me and used a spell, Rafael told Luisa. 

Luisa felt Rafael's attraction to Josie which disappointed her since she liked Rafael however she managed to hide her own feelings but she was glad at least Rafael was there otherwise Josie would probably be dead.

It's good you were there with her for that reason otherwise she probably wouldn't be still alive, Luisa told Rafael. Anyway how are you doing since I know your girlfriend, Cassie, died and you're not going going to hop Ina new relationship with anyone right because I can feel you grief, sadness and regret? Luisa questioned Rafael. 

I'm doing okay since I have Landon and to have you for a friend, Rafael told Luisa. It'll be nice to know if Landon can stay here at this school so do you know if the headmaster is allowing him to stay here? Rafael questioned Luisa.

Uh, Luisa began. I have no where else to go so you you know what Dr. Saltzman said about me staying here? Landon questioned Luisa. Landon's emotions of feeling curiosity and fear went into Luisa.

A series of test will be performed on you to figure out if you're supernatural or human which will determine if you can stay or have to leave, Luisa told Landon. So see you guys tomorrow then, Luisa said. I'm guessing you're going to go sleep, Rafael said. Yeah, since it's been one heck of a day today, goodnight guys, Luisa said. 

Night then, Rafael said. Goodnight, Landon said. Luisa got up and walked out the Old Mill. Luisa walked back into the school and to her bedroom. 

You going to bed? Mathias questioned Luisa. Yeah, Luisa answered Mathias. I'm glad nothing bad happened to you today, please be extra careful because I don't want to lose you too, Mathias told Luisa. A wave of fear, worry and grief came over Luisa. Are these you emotions I'm feeling? Luisa questioned Mathias.

Yes, Mathias answered Luisa. I'm pretty sure nothing bad will happen to me since I'm here and I kind of know how to fight, so I'll see you tomorrow morning, Luisa told Mathias. Good night, Mathias told Luisa. Night, dad, Luisa told Mathias. 

Luisa walked in her room and closed the door behind her. Rocket ran up to her. Luisa smiled once she felt his happiness seeing her come back. She bent down and picked Rocket up then began petting him. Rocket climbed up onto her shoulders and began licking her hair while holding onto her head so he wouldn't fall off of her.
