"It's just Marcel," The vampire reassures.

"Let him in, Aya will want to talk to him."

Marcel drives the car forward into the estate parking in a garage away from the Strix vampires.

He turns off the ignition, "I'm going inside. Stick to the plan."

I lay still glancing up at Stefan, "It's time."

Stefan anxiously scratches off the paste covering his healing wound from Rayna's sword.

He glances at Hayley and I, "Hey, listen. I... know we haven't seen each other for over two years, but my life is... sort of in your hands. So let's make this count."

"We'll do this, together."

"Newo unus animabus carnem et sanguinem de ista duo. Sanguinatum venetus barkael meh. Nemo unus animabus carnem et sanguinem de ista duo. Sanguinatum venetus barkael meh."

I burst into the room covered head to toe in blood, my face morphing into a horrific expression upon seeing Nik and Elijah floating in a pool of their own blood.

A Strix vampire looks up, I dispose of him with ease his body falling to the ground loudly.

"Ah shit," I comment killing three more vampires advancing on me.

"Marcel!?" Davina glances over with shock.

"I'm sorry, D," Marcel turns to Hayley and I, "We need to get them out of that water now."

I immediately speed forward about to step into the water only to have two sister witches appear either side of me telekinetically pinning me to the wall of the room.

I fight against the spell, struggling to break free when Elijah gasps awake.


"Newo unus animabus carnem et sanguinem--"

Elijah speeds to the edge of the pool grabbing one of the sisters holding me to the wall, he quickly feeds from her, drowning her at the same time. 

The other sister turns to Elijah in surprise abruptly ceasing the spell.

I fall to the ground in a crumple, my body accidently landing on several pointed spikes.

"Ahh," I scream out in pain, pushing off the floor with blood pouring from several wounds.

I manage to get to my feet, feeding off the last witch beside Davina in the room.

"Davina, stop!" Marcel pleads not wishing to hurt her.

I speed over to Davina ready to rip out her heart when she thrusts out her hand pausing her chants.

She gazes at me with an unreadable expression, "Sorry Danielle."

I groan in pain looking down at my chest, a large spike protruding out having penetrated my heart.
