RECAP

"You three alright?"He asked, earning a nod from all of us. "Let's give her a proper burial. See if you can find a shovel." Rafael started walking towards the cellar, then Hope, then you followed after, but you stopped when Alaric's 'phone' rang. "Dorian?" He asked. "A knife to the heart did the trick." He paused. "What are you reading? Game of Thrones?" He joked. You watched as Landon walked into the cellar with the others, not thinking much as you stayed outside for fresh air. "Look, this just doesn't make any sense. I-It has got to be something else." The headmaster said but that was cut short about it being something else as you and Landon starred wide eyed as you heard growling and squishing and see a pair of wings appear. He turned around looking at it. "Nope. It's a dragon, all right. I've got to call you back." He said, hanging up the phone.

"Dr. Saltzman?" hope asked, carrying a shovel before starring at the dragon. You watched as Rafael put and arm in front of you and Landon to try and protect you both. "Oh, my god." She said as the dragon kept getting taller. It then roared and started flapping it's wings, roaring again, then breathing fire on us.

We were for sure dead, or were we?

Hope had done a spell to protect us and the dragon eventually flew away. "Was that a-?" You questioned but got cut off.

"You guys go. Get in the car and get out of here." Hope stated firmly.

"What about you?" Asked Alaric, worriedly.

She looks at him. "I have an idea."

"What?" He questioned.

Hope held up the knife. "She wants this. She's going to be back." Hope made the obvious clear to the older guy.

He nodded. "All right, you three, go to the car. I'll meet you there. Go, Go."

Hope cut in. "Kate needs to stay, I need her." Hope anonymously said.

Alaric gave her a confused look before looking at you and you just shrugged, just as confused. You, Rafael and Landon said bye before they ran off. "You wake up with a death wish today?" He asked the other Tribrid.

Hope cocked her head to the side. "Something like that."

We all look up noticing a dragon figure in the sky coming back. "All right, it's coming back. Now what?" He asked, not looking down from the sky.

"You should take cover." Hope stated, also not taking her eyes off the dragon.

Ric looked down before looking back up. "Like hell."

Hope turned around, looking Alaric right in the face. "Then tell me how I'm gonna explain to your daughters that all that's left of you is hot ash?" She questioned.

"The dad card? That's a low blow." He said while looking back up and Hope doing the same. Your eyes never left the dragon. You head Alaric start running towards the bunker, closing the door as he got into it.

"Repeat after me, okay, Kate?" She looked over at you to see your chest heaving up and down. "Hey, Kate." You looked over at her. "It's okay, calm down, you can do this." She said, you nodded in understanding.

"Tenebris anima vestra contundito mortem." Hope started, holding up the knife, you held onto Hope's hand that was holding the knife with your left hand, both of you thought nothing of it. You repeating shortly after. "Et conteret spiritum. Frange vitam." The dragon started screeching. "Nolite corde. Ut sub terra esse, ad tenebras usque in sempiternum. Tenebris anima vestra contundito mortem. Et conteret spiritum. Frange vitam." You both continued chanting. "Nolite corde. Ut sub terra esse," You both continued to chant until the dragon screeched again, obviously in pain. "ad tenebras usque in sempiternum." The dragon then cried out and you both passed out, your limp bodies falling onto the ground with a thud.

You woke up somewhere other than beside in the woods, but in the street of Mystic Falls. You quickly moved out of the way of traffic and made your way to the Mystic Grill, but once you saw your dad and your mom, you realised another thing, a small girl who looked around 3. It was you.

"Here comes the aero-plane." You mom said, causing you to smile as she made a noise with her mouth to mimic a plane engine, baby you opened her mouth and took in the small amount of mashed potato.

Your dad smiled at the interaction, but being playfully jealous, he lifted you into his arms. "She's my daughter." He joked to your mom who gasped, baby you just giggling.

"She's ours, now, don't be greedy, Tyler." Your mom stated but the happy memory didn't last long because when you blinked, all you saw was blood around you, your parents dead and baby you just standing there, un sure of what to do.

You ran up to your parents, shaking them and praying for them to come back, but they didn't, then you turned around and saw a dark haired man holding a stake towards you, then it was darkness.

You gasped awake, losing track of where you were and being horrified by the nightmare you had just experienced, tears gathering in your eyes and streaming down your face. The memory stuck in your head despite your best efforts to push it away as you squirmed backwards. "Dad! Mom!" You replied, despite not knowing who it was, you returned the hug after saying that you felt arms around you. Once you can see clearly again after blinking your eyes, you can see that you are in the woods, the dragon is dead with the knife in its neck, Hope is hugging you, and Alaric is standing there silently.

"You okay?" Hope asked, letting go and searching your eyes, all she saw was someone who was lost in their mind, little did she know, you were lost in your subconscious, was this an effect from the two spells you did, since they were both dark magic?

You didn't respond. Ric left to go to the car.

You looked around, tears still streaming down your face as you still saw the image of your parents dead. "Come on, let's get back to the car." Hope said, helping you up.

As you both made your way to the car, you saw Alaric was leaned against it. As he saw you two, he got up and looked at Hope. "Where are they?" She asked.

"Gone." Alaric said. Landon and Rafael left? You couldn't think about anything, your mind was so loud right now so you just hopped into the car to let them speak. "I found this on the windshield when I got back." Alaric's voice was muffled by the car but you heard what he said, he handed Hope a letter.

Tears started treating down your face again as you thought of the image imprinted in your brain from the nightmare. Alaric then walked off and walked to the drivers seat, hopping in the car. "You okay, sweetie?" He asked, looking back at you. You nodded.

"My, erm.. when I woke up, before that.." You wiped your tears. "when I was out... my parents, a memory from a long time ago popped up but after I-I blinked..." You paused for a moment, knowing more tears were to come. "they were dead." Your voice broke. "But, I remember this memory vaguely... they didn't die... it was just a-a normal night, but my- my messed up mind had to kill them in this dream.." You you motioned towards you heard.

Alaric didn't want to harm you by talking about it anymore so he just nodded cutting the conversation short.

You followed Hope to her room. "Look, I know you don't have a room, so you can stay in mine, just know that you don't have to keep wearing the same clothes, you can wear mine." Hope said calmly, knowing your state of mind was else where. You nodded, grabbing the PJ's you've been wearing, Hope turning around and you quickly changing.

"Thank you...." Your voice broke as you spoke, Hope's face softened at your voice breaking but you didn't see that. Hope turned around, seeing you were dressed. You hopped into the bed, Hope obviously quickly got changed but she sat on the end of the bed, reading the letter from Landon. You didn't see this but Hope was crying, silently, only a couple tears fell as she looked at her family photos. You just shut your eyes, needing the sleep to keep your mind off.....
