Vamp match (Jasie)

2. The Prison world

Josie POV

One moment we were at the Salvatore school trying to make a new prison world and the next moment, well we were still at the Salvatore School, just not our version of the Salvatore school...

Dad recognized where we were immediately after Sebastian appeared. Sebastion told us why he is here and how he got here. He told Lizzie and me that dad sent him here and a few other people before him. After finding out that dad sent Sebastian here and lied to her about it Lizzie got mad and decided to leave with Sebastian. After trying to stop Lizzie from leaving, which, unsurprisingly, did not work out, dad went to find Kai while I am going to start looking for the ascendant so that we can get out of here. It is my fault that we are here after all. I dabbled with black magic and to get rid of it Lizzie and I tried to create a prison world to send the black magic to. This obviously went wrong.

Before I can leave the school to look for the ascendant I hear someone behind me say ''Quick question. Who the hell are you?'' When I turn around I cannot believe my eyes. This cannot be true, how can she be here? ''Jade?'' After a moment she seems to recognize me as well.''Little Josie Saltzman, all grown up. I'll be damned. Is Lizzie here too?''

She looks like Jade and sounds like the Jade I remember, but at the same time, she sounds different. I cannot put my finger on what it is, but something in me screams not to trust this version of Jade, so, to protect Lizzie I lie and tell her ''Uh, no. Jade, what are you doing here?''

I get why my dad sent Sebastian here, but why would he have sent Jade here. Not that I think sending people to a prison world was the right thing to do, but I at least get that Sebastian is dangerous. But why Jade? Dad trusted her, if he would not have trusted her, he would have never let Jade look after me when I was young. She is a vampire sure, and a bit of a rebel, but she always tried to help people, at least the version I used to know ten years ago.

Slowly she walks over to me and I try to back up, but it is to no use. ''If it's okay with you, can we have this conversation after I eat? Because I'm starving and you look delicious.'' Definitely not the nice and caring Jade I remember. But more importantly, a vampire is trying to kill me and I need a source to siphon magic from if I want to protect myself with my magic. Which is kind of problematic.

Jade is walking towards me with her fangs already on display and every step that she takes gets me more scared. I have no way to get out of this. Lizzie is gone with Sebastian and dad is looking for Kai. Maybe I can siphon Jade when she gets close and stop her from killing me with my magic, but then I need to act quick.

Before she reaches me, she falls to the ground with a stake through her heart. From behind her, a man appears, but not just a man, no the man that saved me is the same man that tried to kill me and Lizzie and killed my biomom. The man before me is my uncle, Kai. My father warned me a thousand times for him. If Kai is here, he must have escaped from the place in the prison world where my dad and Bonnie locked him up years ago.

Despite the fact that Kai might be the most dangerous person here, he also saved me. Which can only mean one thing. He needs us. Probably to get back. But if the stories my dad told are true, as long as he needs me and I play his games, he will be able to keep Jade from killing me. If he does not need me anymore, he will probably kill me himself.

I follow Kai to his hiding place where he tells me about the students that my father send here. Jade, Wendy, and Diego. Wendy is a witch and Diego is a werewolf. He also tells me that they are the ones that freed him, only to hunt him day after day.

We agree to find a way to get back together and we decide to go and look for the ascendant. Once we find the ascendant we decide to go for the next thing we need to get back to our world: Bennett's blood.

During the walk, he tells me he found donated Bennett blood in the hospital, so that is where we go. When we get to the place where the Bennett blood is supposed to be, it turns out that Jade drank all of it and when she sees us she tries to kill us, again. Kai is able to close the door with his magic, just in time. Apparently, because they are banished to the prison world when they get killed they just come back to life. Over and over again.

We leave and I want to find my dad before Diego and Wendy get to him. Kai tells me that it's useless. That we are not banished to this world and will not get back to life when we get killed. Which will happen in only a matter of time. I ask him if there was another way to get the Bennett blood if he would help me then. I do not have any Bennett blood, but he does not need to know that, he just has to believe that what I give him is Bennett blood.

The trick works, well sort of. Jade comes in and pushes Kai against the wall. Only he is laughing? Of course, he was lying, I should have known. I try to get out of here, but before I can Kai uses his magic and freezes me in place. He takes my weapons and the Bennett blood but says that I can keep the sand clock because he will be gone before it breaks.

Kai tells Jade to take me to my father and to not kill me yet, but make the both of us suffer. I would like to think about the look on his face when he finds out the Bennett blood is fake, but I am too worried about what Jade is going to do to both me and my dad. It is clear now to me that her humanity is turned off and there is no telling what Jade will do without her humanity turned on.

After Kai leaves Jade walks up to me and says ''this is gonna be so much fun'' like it is some kind of game. When she reaches me, she ties my hands behind my back with a piece of cloth and puts a rag for my mouth. Once Kai's spell is released she takes me back to the Salvatore school and to my father.

Once we are at the school she pushes me in a chair and tells my father what really happened back then with Inez and that she turned her humanity off, as I thought. She blames my father for not helping her while she was screaming for help if only he would have heard it. But that he was too busy protecting his daughters. While she tells this, she walks over to me and caresses my hair. In any other situation it would have been a nice gesture, but not now. Right now it is a threat and I am afraid that Jade will snap and hurt me any moment.

But after a few moments, she walks away from me again. She wants to play a game with my father. If he survives for twelve hours, Jade will not kill me. He does not want to play her games, but Jade threatens to torture me if he does not play the game.

Before they leave Jade ties me up to one of the tables so that I cannot follow them. After they leave I try to free myself. It takes a long time and I am getting worried about what is happening with my dad and sister. Just as I free myself from the ropes and want to leave, the phone rings.

It is Kai, calling me to tell me that he found his own way out of the prison world. He wants to thank me for telling him about Malivore. Now he has a way out. I try to keep him from using the pit, but it is to no use. He tells me to hurry and break the sand clock before I will forget him when he falls into the pit. Since the only way to use the sand clock, is to break it, which will make sure I have enough magic to bring us home, but it will also turn me into an evil version of myself. It was the last thing I want, but if it is the only way to save my sister and my father from getting killed and the only way to bring us all home, I have to break the sand clock.

Before Kai can fall into the pit I run towards the sand clock and without thinking about it twice I throw it on the floor as hard as I can. And then, everything turns black.
