—Lena— Killian walks down the path and knocks on the door of the fancy house. A man answers in his robe, taken aback by Killian standing on his porch. He talks, and I can’t make out a single word. The man holds his hand up almost like he’s refusing to hear something until they both stop, and the man closes the door. Killian continues to wait on the porch, turning around to smile back at me, almost like the smile is saying a thousand words I need to hear right now to ease the trepidation. The door opens again, and the man points to something out back. He closes the door again, and Killian comes running to where I stand. “Now… will you tell me what’s going on?” I ask, panicked. He grabs my hand and pulls me back toward the house, except we turn the corner, following the rose bushes until we find ourselves standing in the backyard, a few feet away from a gazebo where the man stands, and an older lady beside him. “Lena, mar
—Lena— I walk out of the bedroom in search of Killian and then I bump into Lachlan. "You should probably let him let off some steam before you go talk to him. He's really angry and I'm guessing you know why." Lachlan tells me. "Yes I do." I told him. "Well he's kind of busy with Elijah right now. So why don't we leave him for now. And plus this gives me an opportunity to talk to you. I've been looking for a chance since we got here." "Yea, that's right I completely forgot. You said you had something important to tell me." "Yea, but I'm heading into town to pick up something. Why don't you come with me and we can have breakfast and I'll tell you what I want us to talk about." He tells me. "Yea sure." I tell him. But it's as if he can sense that I'm reluctant to leave. "Trust me Lena. Whatever you say to him now won't matter. Just give him a few hours to calm down." "Yeah you're right. Let me just go upstairs and
—Lena— "Yes Lena. And I'm very sure that Luna is Lyanna. Your daughter is alive Lena." Lachlan says. I can hear everything he's saying but I still can't believe it. But could it be possible that someone switched my baby with a dead one, but who could do such a thing? "You have to be absolutely sure, Lachlan. Please don't give me hope only for everything to come crashing down again." "I am sure Lena, I wouldn't bring it up unless I was sure." He tells me. I still don't want to believe it. But I'm starting to hope. "Tell me what exactly happened when you went to find Iannis?" "I got to the house and only his wife Morana was around, while we were talking her daughter Luna came down. And that's when I saw her and her eyes. I asked Morana about her and she said Iannis found her in the woods four years ago on his way back from work. But the thing is that when I asked Iannis, he told me the same story but he was clearly ly
—Lena— "Killian, what have you done?" I asked him with fear in my voice. He turns to look at me and his fangs and claws are out and his eyes have turned gold. The room is upturned, there's blood everywhere. Oh goddess did he kill Elijah?. He notices it's me and he retracts his claws and fangs. He looks at me with fear in his eyes, he's scared but why would he be scared. "Mi Lena, you have to believe me. It's not what it looks like. I didn't kill her." "What are you talking about Killian?" I start walking towards the bed where the body is but he blocks my path. "Let me pass Killian, what are you hiding? What did you do?" "You have to believe me Lena, I didn't do this." He pleads with me with his eyes. I shove him out and walk to the bed. I stagger back in shock. There on the bed is my sister Mariana. And it looks like she has been mauled. I look from her to Killian. He has blood all over him. "What did you do Killian?"
—Killian— I wake up dizzy and disoriented, I stretch and my hand lands on a body. Hmmmm Lena must have come back to bed after I fell asleep. I roll over and wrap my hands around her. I feel something wet on my hand, something is wrong. I open my eyes and look down. Fuck Mariana. I look down at her, she's completely mutilated. Did I do this? No, the last thing I remember is going to sleep. I get up from the bed and look down at myself, I'm completely covered in blood. Could I have done this? No something is wrong, someone has messed with my memories which means somebody is in the house. I immediately bring out my fangs and claws, I might not be able to shift but I'm going to kill whoever did this to her. All of a sudden the bedroom door door opens and I hear a gasp behind me. I turn around and stare at a fear stricken Lena. "Killian, what have you done?" She asks me with fear in her voice. Fuck this is the worst possib
—Killian— "Ok, so can one of you please explain what the hell is happening here? Mariana is dead? How?" Kate asks with an impatient look on her face. "Let's all go inside first, then we'll talk, I myself don't even know what happened." I tell her and she still glares at me like she wants to gouge my eyes out. We all return to the living room and just as we're about to sit, we hear a bedroom door opening. Fuck I really hope that's not Will, I really don't want him seeing me with this blood all over me, If I scare that kid Kate is definitely going to kill me. Eric comes down the stairs yawning. Did he really sleep through all the commotion? He looks at me and the others. "Killian you really need to take it easy on Elijah or you might just kill him." He tells me. He thinks the blood on me is Elijah's. "This isn't Elijah's blood. Someone broke into the house and killed Mari. And whoever it is wants to make it look like I did
—Killian— "Do it I'm ready." I tell Eric, and he immediately jumps up from the seat and rubs his hands together and he has a huge grin on his face. "You might want to wipe that grin off your face." I growl at him. "Oh sorry, I didn't know my happiness was showing." He says still grinning from ear to ear. "Have you done this before?" I asked him starting to get a little nervous. "Not really, but like you said I am the strongest warlock in the last century so this should be a piece of cake." He tells me while busy cracking his knuckles. "Ok Eric, I'm trusting you. So how exactly is this going to work?" I ask him. "Well firstly I'm going to need you to calm down and open your mind to me. I'm going to check if there's any trace of magic used to tantrum with your memory and if there is, I'm going to try and get it back. But you have to let me in, I know there's something's you have done that you don't want
—Jeremy— I had a strong haunch that Elijah has been compromised, and he will surely begin the same place as Killian and Lena. But I'm not scared or anything like that. Elijah is a loyal soldier, he will never reveal my identity. I got one of my guys to track his phone to his last location and it stopped somewhere outside Connecticut. They should be close by, we stop at a gas station, and I tell Mari to call her sister. "Make it convincing, Mariana. She has to believe that you're really in danger." I tell her. "Don't worry baby. I've got this." She tells me with a huge grin on her face. How can two sisters be so different? Mariana is so gullible, she has no idea what is about to happen to her. She dials Lena's number twice but she doesn't pick up. Fuck I never anticipated that she would not pick up her call. "Leave her a voicemail. Make it convincing Mariana." She does as I tell her, and I have to give h
