π–ͺ𝖨𝖠𝖭𝖠 was walking her still unnamed dog with Katherine on the other side of him, the original came with the full intentions to have Allison to herself but she also learned that there were hunters residing here. They were on the lookout for anyone remotely suspicious that stood out to them, anyone that screamed I own a crossbow and stake.

"I can't believe you let that thing sleep with you," Katherine stared down in disgust at the dog that was sniffing a lamppost he had just peed on.

"I can't believe I let you come with me," Kiana spared her no look as her eyes scanned the scenery around them. "And that hall was still dirty when I came downstairs."

Katherine flared her nostrils, "I'm getting to it."

Kiana hummed with a smile pulling at her lips at the annoyance radiating off of her, "good." Her eyes narrowed to the sheriff stood on the outskirts of the forest with yellow tape behind him.

He had a note pad and pen in his hand whilst he wrote down words whilst he interviewed a wife and husband. "Looks like they found it," she murmured and Katherine gave her an odd look. "I want a coffee," she started crossing the street with the dog chasing after her, Katherine following in suit.

Sherif Stilinski chewed on his lip as he looked the women that crossed the road, strangers showed up and a dead body appeared within days.

The doorbell rang as they stepped through and the dog jumped up on the leather seat of the booth, a waitress came over with a large smile. "Sorry, we don't allow dogs in here."

Kiana stared into her eyes and watched as they dilated, "yes, you do, now go make me three coffees." She looked down at the name tag and gave her a grin, "Donna."

She nodded and hazily made her way to the barista whilst the women made themselves comfortable, Katherine sat opposite the dog and awkwardly glanced around her as he stared at her with large eyes.

"Why did you ask for three?"

Kiana furrowed her brows whilst petting the dog on the head, "can you not count?" Katherine felt the need to rip out her own heart and stared at the dog standing on its hind legs to reach the cup on the table, spilling everywhere. She shivered at the reminded when she was on her hands and knees trying to rid the dirt from the carpet.

The original looked out the window and placed her hand on her palm with her eyes lingering on the sheriff, she knew he was suspicious of her. So, when he caught her gaze she sent him a finger wave which he tipped his hat to with a tight lipped grin before venturing into the woods.

As Kiana spied on the people across the road she caught sight of a reflection in the glass that made her eyebrow arch. A woman with short red hair, thin lips and a defined face whilst the man across from her had a stubbled beard, piercing eyes and shaggy hair.

They watched her with doubt and she smelt the hatred from their heavy breaths that made her sigh whilst she turned to look at Katherine. "There is a couple sitting exactly opposite us," Kiana leaned closer, "I want you to tell me what you see."

Katherine slowly turned her head, they gave a smile that showed no teeth and did not reach their eyes before looking back down at one another. The vampire turned to Kiana who was waiting with watchful eyes, "hunters?"

A smirk uplifted her lips, "hunters."

Katherine matched it and licked her lips in excitement, "which means there will finally be some fun."

Kiana nodded and the two tilted their heads to watch the pair of hunters, the look of terror on Egwayne's face as she fell to the floor with a stake in her heart made a twisted look appear. "Exactly."

𝖳𝖧𝖀 Original would have been wandering aimlessly through the streets to try and snuff out where she could find Allison. Instead, her and Katherine trailed the couple they saw from the coffee shop home and awaited on their rooftop. The dog was left in the trusty hands of the compelled waitress whilst his mother worked.

"Which one do you want?" Katherine asked as they watched the two get out of their car and walk to the front door.

"I don't care, whichever one wants to play hero first," she muttered bitterly and as they went to leap off of the roof she felt her feet remain stuck to the roof.

"You guys are home early," Allson's voice made her still on the edge.

No. She split the wood with her pincher fingers and stared down at the head of dark hair as she came out to greet her parents.

"Kiana?"

"Go home."

"But-"

"Are you deaf?" She sneered but kept her eyes unmoving from the figure below her. A whoosh was heard and a brush of air made her hair flick behind her shoulder whilst she remained still.

"Yeah, we just thought we'd have dinner at home instead," the father said with a grin but Kiana listened to his heart beat, he was lying. He knew that they weren't human, it was Victoria however, who knew that they were being followed.

"Are you hungry?" Their voices grew quieter as they stepped in the house and when the door shut Kiana jumped down to land in front of the drive. The conversation fell near deaf on her ears as she blankly stared at the weeds growing in the cracks of the pavement.

Until she looked up, to the window on the far right and saw within open curtains, Allison stood whilst holding up an arrow like a cherished piece of silver. Kiana felt the anger rise within her and she tore her gaze from the girl before she zipped away, gusts of leaves blowing that caught the huntresses attention but she was met with emptiness.

On her journey back Katherine thought that in order to win some brownie points she would pick up the dog.

Though, Kathrine yelled at the tension her neck was put under and stared fearfully into the amber eyes that were brimming with fury, black veins pulsing below. "Why didn't you tell me she was one of them?"

She gritted out with her canines growing, she ran her tongue over one and flashed them dangerously to the vampire in her grasp.

"I-I didn't k-know," Katherine gasped out, the hand around her neck tightening like a noose. Her legs kicked out not for a fight against Kiana but for with the pure instinct to live, her hands tried to pull on Kiana's one.

The hybrid sniffed the air prematurely and upturned her lip but her face fell as she looked down at the feeling of a tugging on the jean of her ankle. The dog held the fabric between his teeth and tried to pull as hard as he could but only ended up slipping forwards on the polished floor.

Kiana clenched her jaw, her eyes dimming into their natural stare and veins sunk back into the colour of tanned skin. The fingers digging into her neck loosened and she lowered Katherine so she could rest her feet on the floor before letting her hand fall by her side.

Katherine touched her neck whilst breathing heavy and stared up at Kiana indolently.

"Finally," Kiana laughed ruefully with no hint of humour, "finally after one thousand years of searching I have found her." She stepped away from Katherine and the dog now stood in between them, his gaze shifting from each. "And yet she has the blood of monsters in her that took away my greatest friend."

Her heart stung as she spoke of Egwayne and she sighed in fatigue, "fate is a cruel mistress indeed."

Katherine regained her breath and stood up straighter on the wall, "you could just, tell her."

Kiana bitterly shook her head, "tell her what? That I must end her entire bloodline because of what her ancestors did to me," she pointed to the outside, "what they continue to do!" Katherine flinched slightly and Kiana quickly dropped her hand once more.

She continued in a quieter tone, "I see no way in which she will come to me naturally once she knows my true self, my intentions." Kiana kissed her teeth, a hiss leaving her mouth as she tugged at her shirt uncomfortably.

"She doesn't seem like a girl who likes to do what she's told."

Kiana hummed, "no, she does not but I have waited too long to pass up such an opportunity at vengeance." A softer and somber look captured her, "and I have waited even longer for her," Kiana looked Katherine in the eye, "no one will prevent me from having her, no one."

𝖢𝖠𝖭𝖣𝖀𝖱𝖨𝖭𝖦 round the forest in the attempts of searching for the werewolf that killed the man in the woods. If she found it then Kiana would use them as bait to draw out the hunters and massacre the lot of them in one foul swoop.

She kept walking, past the body until the strong sent of wolf made her sniff the air but ash bombarded her nose and made her belch at the smell. Kiana followed it until she stood before a large house encased in blackened wood, the entire roof missing, glass windows melted and walls fallen.

Her hand reached out to touch the door and with a gentle push it crumbled down, her fingertips bleeding black soot. She stepped through and looked round with a grimace, the floorboards creaked under the tension. The staircase, ceilings, bannisters and paintings all covered in the ash of the fire and only a small breath away from dusting into the surroundings.

A loud growl rumbled from behind her and she turned to see a figure of a man, he stood tall with the most peculiar sight of glowing blue eyes.

She stared at him with furrowed brows, his chest rapidly moved up and down whilst his hands extended and claws grew from his nails. He ran at her with his hands outstretched, Kiana used her speed to move to the side and kick him in his back.

His body was sent crashing into the coffee table that he flattened in a second. "Aren't you an angry little thing," these words made a gurgling roar leave his throat as he stood and opened his mouth. Teeth shining with venom and as he went to latch onto her Kiana grabbed him by his throat and threw him through one of the broken windows.

"Very angry indeed," she taunted whilst walking outside. He slammed his hand on the floor in frustration before rising to his feet once more. "I can do that too."

She motioned to his eyes with her fingers, her eyes turned a golden amber with dark veins beneath them. Kiana watched him freeze in step, his claws slowly retracting, eyes dimming into brown with a daunting look.

"You're the hybrid." His voice wreaked with wary as he took small steps backwards.

She showed all her teeth with a hum and with the sight of her unusual eyes it made his heart jump. "You've heard of me, fantastic."

Kiana let her eyes and veins fade away, he was quite a handsome face with sharp features and piercing green eyes. A tall frame with muscle and dark hair as well as his stubble, she sped in front of him and he jumped back but she fisted the front of his shirt.

"That little mishap back there," she jutted her head to the body in the woods, "was that you?"

He didn't know what to say, whether to admit the truth or deny it, his silence was proving futile as the cunning smirk left her lips and fell into a flat line.

"I said," she stared into his eyes and watched them dilate, "was that you?"

"No," he strangled out and Kiana tightened his grip on him.

"Oh well, potato, potatoe," she shrugged. "Don't worry, darling," she patted his head, "I'll do my best to save you, unless of course they get to you before I do."

Within seconds they were gone, all that was left was the creaking of the burned house as another banister toppled over.

π–ͺ𝖠𝖳𝖧𝖀𝖱𝖨𝖭𝖀 huffed at the small ball of fur that piled itself in her lap, the dog curled peacefully asleep on her. Though, given Kiana's rule she was "not allowed to touch the dog." So, with great patience and a bottle of wine she let him stay but even she looked up when the door was burst open and the dog yapped loudly.

"Found one," Kiana sung with a pep in her step as she threw him on the ground in the living room. "He will be the worm on my hook," a haughty smile was on her face but when she looked at the vampire she saw her staring at the werewolf.

"Katherine?" The man on the ground gasped out as the wind had been knocked out of him.

"Derek," she greeted, trying to be coy, though her eyes held worry in them.

Kiana looked between the two with mild disgust, "oh, for gods sake, Katerina." She put a hand to her head, "you couldn't keep it in your pants for a few minutes?"

Katherine just wrung her hands whilst Derek stood up on shaky feet, "wait, you two know each other?"

"She ran from me and my brother for five hundred years so I'd say yes," she smiled at Katherine who held a deep frown, "we know each other." A small scoff left her, "well no wonder you didn't know she was a huntress, too busy with your play thing."

Derek furrowed his eyebrows, "who's she?"

"Never you mind, Dan," Kiana snidely said.

"It's Derek."

"I don't care," she added before turning to Katherine who looked like she had something to say, "well spit it out."

"He- he is a Hale."

Kiana looked taken a back for a second and looked to the man whose eyes were darting around from the intensity of her eyes. "Derek Hale," she murmured, "I knew a Hale."

His ears twitched and he tilted his head as Kiana hummed whilst looking him from head to toe. "She was strong, fierce, I fought with her many a time."

"And then what happened?"

The Mikaelson shrugged, "she met a man and I never saw her again so, answer me this," she stalked closer to him. "Who is Talia Hale to you?"

She watched as recognition flooded his eyes, "my mother."

Kiana breathed a heavy breath, "it's your lucky day Derek, as a gift to an old friend I suppose I can let her son live." She gave a confused look, "did she die in that fire?"

His addams apple bobbed, "all of them did."

Kiana nodded, stepping away from him before tutting, "though, who am I gonna use now to draw in the hunters?"

Katherine made her way over to the two when she was sure Kiana wouldn't attack, "you could use one of their own to draw them out."

Derek nodded, "I know a girl, she'd be easy to take, her names Allison Argent." Katherine face palmed at his words and within a breath he was pinned to the wall whilst gasping as she crushed his windpipe.

"No," she gritted out to him, "she is to remain untouched, do you understand?"

Derek nodded quickly and was dropped in an instant, "who then?" He refrained on asking what was so important about Allison, the original seemed antsy when mentioned.

Kiana held a thoughtful look, "who started it?"

"What?"

"The fire, who started it?"

Derek went quiet once more and held his forearm with his hand as if retelling a forbidden story, "Kate." He cleared his throat to sound strong, "Kate Argent."

Kiana seethed through her nose and pinched it whilst turning to Katherine who was sheepishly swaying on the balls of her feet. "Katerina."

"Yes?"

"Why do those two women share the same surname?" She coyly asked whilst now approaching the vampire who began to grow uncomfortable.

"Because they are related," she said unsurely.

Kiana nodded, "yes and why did I not know this before I came to this town?"

She watched the cogs turn in Katherine's eyes as she flickered her gaze elsewhere, "because I didn't say."

"Right again," she stepped forwards till they were face to face and tilted her chin to look into her eyes. "The next time I ask you to do a job I expect it done not Katherine Pierce's version of done," her glare morphed into a lighter one as she smiled saying, "okay?"

Katherine nodded quickly and Kiana stepped away from her before clasping her hands together. "Can either of you two geniuses tell me where Kate Argent is?"

Derek nodded and held out his arm that had a small scar, "oh, she's here, she's staying with the Argent's."

Kiana pointed at his arm in suspicion, "why has that not fully healed."

"She shot me with a bullet enthused with wolfsbane," her clenched his fists as he remembered the excruciating pain.

"Oh they are getting craftier," she poured a glass of scotch and handed it to him which he took with a nod. "But fret not my new friend," she raised her glass to him, "we will kill every last one of them."

He looked up from the rim of the glass and matched her look of vengeance with a smirk.

"What am I chopped liver?" Katherine argued but Kiana rolled her eyes and began to drink.

"Get yourself a drink if you want one," Katherine glared at the back of her head before moving to pour herself a drink. "And Derek," Kiana turned round to see him sitting on the carpet with the dog in his lap and drink in one hand. "You can stay here or there, choice is yours but I did see a wanted poster with your name on it."

Derek watched her retreat further into her home with an expression of wonder and looked up to Katherine. "I thought she was evil, that's what everyone says."

The Petrova scoffed whilst downing the scotch, "you haven't seen her when she's angry."

KIANA relished in the peaceful sleep she had been gifted whilst her mind placed her in a dream of utter peace. The moonlight was in full effect, a perfect circle hanging in the sky and reflecting on the pond in front of her whilst she laid flat on the land around her.

A large oak tree cradled her head as she gazed up at the stars that weren't overshadowed by the branches of the tree. Soft humming made her turn to see Egwayne, the red headed beauty in the same old fashioned clothes that she died in with a red stain in her stomach.

"Egwayne?" She called out fearfully but she turned to her, there was no longer grey veins creeping up her body. No blood spilling from her guts but instead china skin and red lips pulling into a gentle smile.

"Hi, honey." She leant her head on her palm whilst her elbow rested on the grass to look down at Kiana.

"What are you doing here?"

She gave her one of her warm smiles that eased the tension in her head, "I'm here to talk about how upset you're gonna make that sweet girl when you kill her family."

Kiana grunted and turned to look back at the sky, "I do not dream to be told nonsense."

Egwayne used two fingers to tilt her chin back her way and stared at her with a knowing glance, "it's okay to let karma do its duty."

"I don't believe in karma," Kiana grumbled whilst her hands picked at the daisies in between them.

"Still as stubborn as the last time I saw you," she murmured as Kiana began to place the flowers in the red heads hair in the shape of a crown. "You know I'm right."

"No, I don't," she spoke hush like telling a secret. Egwayne let out a breathy laugh and Kiana's lips quirked up at the sound. "I thought I'd forgotten your laugh," she confessed.

A pitiful glance was sent her way though she twirled the daisy in between her fingers, "you could never forget me." Egwayne's thumb brushed over her forehead whilst her fingers ran through her hair. "I'm always here."

Kiana leaned into her touch, "I just want them to die, I want them to feel pain like I did." She clenched her jaw to keep her eyes from watering but it didn't help that Egwayne was soothingly running her fingers through her hair like she used to.

"You'll only end up hurting yourself," the original sighed deeper with a small nod. "You'll only end up hurting her."

Kiana felt a tear slide down her cheek that Egwayne was quick to wipe away, "I just want to make you proud, I want to avenge you." She kissed her teeth angrily, "butcher them like they did you."

"And her?"

She furrowed her eyebrows, "what about her?"

"She's one of them, what will you do?"

Her question made Kiana's heart clench, she would never physically harm Allison, even if she was an Argent. Though, killing her family would put her and Kiana on the outs with one another, Allison might even want to murder her herself.

"You won't hurt one another," Egwayne reasoned with a genteel voice.

Kiana let out a somber laugh, "I forget you're in my head."

She took her hands from her face and leant on her elbows whilst looking out to the lake, "whichever path you choose you'll always find one another." Kiana felt a wave of comfort wash over her at this thought, "but the way you find your way to get to one another all depends on not just you but her as well."

A sad smile played her lips as she looked into Egwayne's eyes, "you just say what I want to hear, little dove."

She gave a small shrug of her shoulders and a modest leer, "perhaps I do or perhaps I don't." Her face flattened slightly as she stared at Kiana, "but if that's true then that means even you know the truth to your actions."

The hybrid bobbed her head before looking down at the tips of her fingers and watched as the grey began to slowly creep up her hand. A sorrowful yearning look as she held her hands in her own and kissed her knuckle, "I miss you."

Egwayne softly grinned and leaned over to press a kiss on the crown of her head, "I know, goodnight, Kiana."

Kiana opened her eyes and stared at her ceiling with her chest rising and falling at an increasing pace. She checked the time, 03:04 and as she went to try and close her eyes once more a loud snore made her groan.

"Katerina," she simmered and flung the covers off of her as she went to sit on the edge of her bed. The dog looked over his shoulder whilst stretching out his back and lazily walked over to rest himself on her thigh. "Should we take a walk?"

Kiana watched his tail wag and he had already jumped down whilst trotting to the door. Kiana supposed it was slightly stupid that she went to the same road that Allison had ran her over but she was a desperate woman, her conversation with Egwayne enlightened her only slightly.

Though, once she was sure that there was not even a headlight to be seen for miles her and the dog ventured into the woods. They walked further and further until she halted in her step at the sound of a shrill scream.

Kiana bent down to pick up the stiffened dog who froze at the sound and sped towards it, she saw a lit fire, tents and sleeping bags. Except there was no noise but the crackle of the wood, splatters of blood spewed on the tents and as she looked over the hood of one she saw an arm.

Her eyes wandered until she looked up and there it was, the creature was snarling and panting with drool pooling in his mouth. It barred its fangs and growled loudly whilst snapping its jaw at her, it looked like it was ready to lunge as its red, glowing eyes burned brighter but something made it stagger back.

All Kiana did was flash her hybrid eyes whilst the dog in her arms wildly barked, it took seconds before the werewolf backed away. It high turned running with its tail between its legs whilst her dog still barked all the while.

"Good boy," she stroked his head and he ceased his yapping, "you sure scared him off." However, before she left an impressed look dwindled on her face, she could use a monster like that.

"Please, please help me," she head a voice pleas from behind the tents and looked to see a man holding his chest and stomach. "I- I don't wanna-

"Shh," Kiana kneeled next to him and placed the dog next to him, the man yelled as he stood on his blood filled belly. "Forgive me, mate," her eyes bled gold, "but I am famished," fangs dig into his neck and he screamed until his voice box was bit into with a crunch.
