RECAP

He sighed. "I'll leave that to you to figure out." He nodded towards Alaric. He then looked at you as if he knew you from somewhere, but he obviously ignored the thought when Alaric spoke.

"All right. Thanks Sheriff." Alaric said. The Sheriff walking away.

We then proceed to the bus and board it. Alaric comes first, then you, and then Hope. When we boarded, everything was black from the fire and we all saw burned bodies. You turned aside because there were bodies everywhere; Landon could not have done this.......

or did he...?

————

Alaric arranged for you to meet the Counsellor. You had the option, right? No. He thought you might use some assistance because you were new to the supernatural and were also a supernatural. He was unaware of your discomfort at The Salvatore School, though. Were you supposed to mention that to the counsellor? because you'll probably tell her everything.

You walked into the office where you'll be seeing the Counsellor. "Hello, wonderful to see you. Please, have a seat." She pointed at the seat in front of her. You smiled unsure of what to do since this is your first Counsellor meeting. "No need to be tense, sweety. You're safe, everything you say to me, stays with me." She promised, it calmed your nerves a little. Taking a seat she offered some tea which you politely declined. "So, Alaric had arranged for you to see me. What do you want to tell me first so I know what question's to ask?" She inquired.

"Um.. I never knew of the supernatural until a a few days ago. Turns out I'm supernatural, a Tribrid, found out my dark was murdered instead of actually dying in a car crash, my mom actually died in a car crash, I'm assuming, and... I feel I don't belong here... I feel out of place..." You rambled looking up at the Counsellor. "And my name is Kate Olivia Lockwood." You awkwardly smiled.

The Counsellor doesn't seem to be surprised by you being a supernatural. "I'm Emma. I think by now you know Hope is a Tribrid, correct?" You nodded. "Wonderful." Emma stated.

"Can we talk about something else.. please.." You looked down, ashamed by doing dark magic.

Emma nodded. "All right. How about school. Why do you feel out of place?" She questioned. You honestly didn't know how to answer it.

"Um, well.. I feel like everyone knows I'm a tribrid when they don't.. god that sounds crazy calling myself supernatural... they give me odd stares because I'm new and don't know anything at all." You took a deep breathe, looking up at Emma with teary eyes. "I-It's like it's a problem to them to not know anything about the supernatural if you are one." You stuttered. "The only person who's there for me is my brother, Rafael. And..." You trailed off, Emma was keeping not of this.

"And what? Who else is there for you Kate?" Emma asked.

You wiped a tear that had escaped. "um.. and... Hope.. but not all the time.. only like once or twice.." You clearly stated, Emma nodded seeing how you calmed down at mention of the girls' name.

The Counsellor looked up rom her notes. "Well, it's okay if you want to spend sometime doing something else. We can end the session now if you want-" Emma was cut off by you.

"Wait.. can you tell me how my parents died?" You asked, looking Emma straight in the eyes. It looked as if you were about to break out in a sob.

Emma cleared her throat. "If that's what you want, I can tell you. Tyler, your father, yes didn't die in a car crash. There is this vampire named Damon Salvatore, Stefan Salvatore's brother." You nodded. "He's human now after taking 'the cure' but before, he wasn't. When he was a vampire, he had come across Tyler but I'm pretty sure Damon's humanity was off at the time..." She trailed off, a couple tears escaped your eyes. "...and, Damon ripped his heart right out of Tyler's chest..." Emma softly spoke, seeing how multiple tears were running down your face. "Do you want me to continue?" She asked and you nodded. She didn't want to but it was your wish. "Your mom, yes died in a car crash... you should go and get some air, we can continue tomorrow if you want.."

Quickly, you got up and left the Counselling room. Making your way outside. You see Rafael and Hope in a fight. Hope had just taken her hands off of Rafael head, probably showing him the bus that Landon blew up. "What the hell was that?" Rafael asked. You just watched as you quickly wiped your tears.

Hope sighed. "Your best friend did that to a bus full of people on Route 29 last night, and I am the only one who knows how to find him, so give me the engine thingy." Hope angrily said.

"No." Rafael, being the stubborn man he is fired back.

Hope crossed her arms. "I have actual magic powers."

"And I have a long history of anger issues." Rafael stated.

Alaric came out of no where, a bag over his right shoulder. "He can come." Alaric looked at you, seeing your puffy eyes but not saying anything. "She can too." He said, smiling and rubbing your shoulder slightly to lighten you.

Hope and Rafael look your way, Hope's eyes softening at the sight of your sad expression, while Rafael didn't know why you were upset but looked over at Alaric, Hope doing the same.

"What?" She questioned.

"They know Landon, they'll be an asset. And we need all the help we can get, so fix the car and hop in." Hope and Rafael looked at each other, Hope rolling her eyes and going to the other side of the car. "And put a shirt on." Alaric said, getting into the drivers seat. You hopped into the back. Rafael was confused about the shirt but released he shouldn't be wearing a tank top.

————

You all come to a stop on the side of the road. You all started walking through the forest in a random location. "I don't know why he's still out here. He has a whole day's lead on us. He could be anymore." Hope argued.

Rafael spoke up, you were standing beside's Alaric while the other two walked in front. "Maybe 'cause he doesn't have a reason to run." Rafael fired.

Hope scoffed. "Logic that would be perfectly believable if he hadn't, you know, ran?" Hope fired back.

There were twigs heard snapping, causing Alaric to shush the two arguing in front. We all look at Alaric. "You hear that?" He asked, making his voice a little quieter. "Someone's here." He said, walking off in a direction. We all look at each other before following in suit.

Alaric starts jogging but then comes to a halt at a tree, looking down. "I-It's okay. I-I'm not gonna hurt you." He held up his hands to show he has nothing that will hurt whoever he is talking too. He put's his hands down and comes forward to be closer to the girl, but she moves back in fright. "Were you on the bus? Can you tell us what happened?" He questioned the girl only to be met with silence.

"Is she a survivor?" Hope asks.

Rafael covered his nose slightly. "Uh, smells like it. She reeks of smoke."

"I think she's in shock." Alaric stated. "Look, I need to get her to the police so she can get some medical attention. Uh, why don't you three go ahead? Don't engage." He mainly directed that towards Hope. "We don't know how dangerous Landon is."

"He not dangerous..."Rafael got defensive, only to be cut off.

"I said, don't engage." Alaric repeated.

Hope slightly rolled her eyes. "Come on." She softly spoke. You started following straight away buy Rafael stands there looking at Alaric for a good 5 seconds before following us.

————

"What exactly happened on that bus?" Rafael asked, breaking the comfortable silence that had fell on us for about 3 minutes.

"No one knows." You said softly. You moved closer to Hope so Rafael could fit so he doesn't crash into a tree. Hope looked back a slight blush on her cheeks that you didn't see and that she ignored.

"It's like something incinerated it from the inside." Hope continued my sentence.

Rafael looked at Hope. "Look, whatever he did, I know there's a good explanation. And why are you agreeing with Hope, Kate? He's our brother, you should be on his side."

"No, I'm not choosing a side here, Rafael. I'm just going by what I saw on the bus, and the fact the he's the only one that survived." You pointed out. Making it absolutely clear you don't have a side. Hope looked back at the two of you arguing.

Rafael decided to continue, with a large sigh. "He's the most loyal friend that I've ever had." He paused. "He was there for me on the worst day of my life. After my girlfriend died, he's the only thing that kept me going, plus Kate." They came to slight stop. "So let me get that knife back for you and then we all can hear him out, okay?"

Hope looked at Raf, then at you but quickly back to Rafael. "Appreciate the passion, but maybe you should exert some of it making new friends." She continued walking forward. Rafael came to an abrupt stop, causing you too stop.

"SO I can be as popular and well-liked as you?" He inquired. You looked at him with a 'are you serious' face and Hope turned around, glaring at Rafael. "Yeah, I've been at the school for two days and I've already heard all about Hope Mikaelson and her Sunny Disposition." Rafael rudely said to her. Hope looked at Rafael with an annoyed face. "I'll get the stupid, no-stupid knife and the answers you want. I promise." He took a step forward towards Hope.

Hope tilted her head. "And why should I believe you?"

Rafael keep the eye contact. "Because I don't lie."

Hope chuckled, looking away before looking back at Rafael. "Everybody lies." She responded, letting out a sigh and looking in my direction. "He's in the root cellar. You have three minutes to do this your way."

She looked back the root cellar. "Wait, the headmaster said don't engage."

Hope cut him off. "Two minutes 59.... Two minutes 58...." She started counting him down only for Rafael to run to the cellar. "Not gonna go in?"

You looked her way before shaking your head. "Nah... I mean, I haven't told him why I had to stay but then you guys 'compelled' him and I couldn't tell him, which obviously didn't work and now I can but, I'm not sure if he'll still see me as a sister or a monster.." You said truthfully as you leaned against a tree and slid to the bottom, holding your knees to your chest and resting your chin on it.

Hope gave you a glance. She was at a loss for words. You turned your head away from her and simply stared at the floor. Hope shared your sentiments; she believed that if someone knew who she truly was, aside from the supernatural of course, they would perceive her as a monster.

Hope started making her way towards you. She knelt in front of you. "Hey," She said, causing you to look up into her blue eyes. "you are not a monster, and of course he'll still see you as a sister, just don't let your mind convince you that he wouldn't." She kept the eye contact. You nodded. "Now let's go and break up their reunion." She joked, causing you to laugh a little. Your laugh made her smile.

"Thank you for that.." You said, she smiled back at you. She opened her hand for you take take which you did, after she helped you up you both walked to the root cellar.

"That wasn't me." We heard Landon say.

Hope walked in first. "Then who was it?" She spoke up, you then walked in right after her. Landon looked at you as if you took her side, or if you had been taken onto the evil side.

"You said three minutes!" Rafael exclaimed, turning to face you two.

Hope cocked her head to the side. "Like i said, people lie. Corporis Impetu." Hope lifted her hand, causing Landon to fly into the wall and just be held there.

Rafael jumped in front of Landon, causing you to move forward a little to stand in front of Landon. "Hey!" Rafael yelled.

Hope glared at Landon. "Where's the knife?" She inquired, angrily.

"I don't have it. It must've lost it when I ran." Landon argued. Squirming around to get out of what Hope had done to him. You moved more towards Landon to help him in case he just dropped.

"After you burned the bus?" She questioned.

Landon locked eyes with Hope. "That wasn't me, I swear. I barely got out alive." You didn't trust a word Landon because when he lies he looks away, but he is your brother so you had to trust him, right?

"Hope, come on." Rafael pleaded.

"Last chance. Who the hell was it?" She angrily asked at Landon, walking forward which caused you to step in front of the both of them and in front of Hope which stopped her.

Landon breathed heavily. "There was this girl..."
