Almost is Never Enough

Monster Of The Day

Emma

After talking to Alaric, Hope introduced me to the Super Squad. We were all sitting in the library when Alaric called a meeting. Once everyone was seated, he started talking.

"Okay listen up, Sheriff Donovan is here to inform you all about something and possibly ask a few questions. So please give him your attention." He tells us. He steps aside and the sheriff starts talking.

"Today someone was attacked and it's hard to cover this one up. By the looks of it, it's not a vampire. There's only one puncture wound and the victim's brain was sucked dry." He says seriously.

I have a feeling I know exactly what it is. I hunted one with Sam and Dean.

"And by puncture wound, do you mean a hole behind the ear? And I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that the victim had some type of psychological illness." Everyone turns to me.

"Yeah. How did you know that?" The sheriff eyes me suspiciously.

"Your dealing with a wraith. They feed on brain fluids. They have a spike that comes out of their wrist and they insert it behind the ear because it provides the easiest access to the brain. I hunted one a few years ago with some family friends." I state, standing up.

"So how do I kill it?" He asks.

"You don't. I do." I say back.

"Okay, how do you kill it?" He tries again.

"Silver blade straight to the heart. " I say. Alaric gives the super squad a look telling them to go with me.

We're all in the library and I'm telling them what they need to know about the wraith.

"Wraiths like to feed on psychiatric patients.  They can disguise themselves as humans but their reflection will show their true form. If you touch them with silver, there skin will burn.  If you get close enough, break off their spike. It hurts like a bitch. The wraith will most likely be one of the nurses or doctors. The second you see it, don't hesitate to kill it. Okay, let's go." I finish and we walk outside to Baby.
I pop the trunk and hand each of them a silver ring and a silver blade.

"Silver blade straight through the heart. Don't miss. The rings are so that you always have something silver in you at all times. We're going the Mystic Falls Mental Illness Institution.
( I don't know, okay people! I made it up!) MG and Kaleb, you two are gonna compel us in there as nurses and doctors. Twins, Landon, Rafael, you guys are gonna be checked in as patients. I'll use magic to raise your dopamine levels slightly. Let's go." I finish and we're break off into two separate cars. Me, Hope, Landon, and MG in my car; Lizzie, Josie, Kaleb, and Rafael in Lizzie's.

We arrived at the hospital and the vamps compel us in.

I'm currently walking around with Kaleb, checking everyone's reflection. Hope is with MG doing the same. Kaleb and I go check on the twins and the boys.
"Hey, you guess doing okay?" I ask them.

Lizzie and Josie nod. Raf responds with yea and Landon responds with an 'I think so'.

"Alright you know what to do if you see it. MG and Hope are starting on this side of the hospital so scream if you need help." I say to them and walk out, Kaleb following closely behind.

MG

Hope and I have been walking around for a few hours. I've been curious about Emma, so I decided to ask.

"So, Hope... tell me about Emma." I say. She looks at me weirdly.

"Why? Do you like her or something? " she asks. Do I? No, I can't. I just met her.
