"Given our recent influx of monsters, the Sheriff and I have decided we need to take drastic action. Please give him your full attention." Alaric spoke. "Like Dr. Saltzman was saying local girls, Dana Lilien and Sasha Stoteraux didn't come home last night. Dana sometimes skips town for a few days to party, but this is a first for Sasha." Sheriff Donovan announced to the students. "Thank you, Sheriff Donovan. Now while the knife is away with Dorian and things are quiet on his end, it won't hurt to assume the worst. If Dana and Sasha.." Alaric's words quieted as Y/N looked over to Hope.

"You really should tell Lizzie, she might start dating someone soon" Y/N explained. "I'm not telling her until you tell Josie" Hope said. Y/N shook her head. "Now, I'll need a few of you to volunteer to go to Mystic Falls High under the guise of an exchange program meant to improve relations between our schools, which, unfortunately, is necessary, given recent events. Now, I give you permission to compel them, to gather materials for locator spells, because any information we can get will make all the difference." Alaric spoke. "Well, I guess that I can set aside my differences with Dana for a day, because that is what heroes do. So...I volunteer as tribute." Lizzie spoke up as she rose from her seat.

"She battles on gargoyle and suddenly she's Mother Teresa." Hope whispered to her sister. Y/N elbowed her.

"I'm in" Kaleb stood up and volunteered as well. Next was MG.

"I'd like to help." Hope volunteered last.

"Well, that's great. We have a witch, vampires and tribrid." Y/N stood up and patted her sister's shoulder. "Ms. Mikaelson is right, thank you students" Alaric thanked.

Y/N and Josie sat a table by themselves each studying. When Rafael cane up to them. "You know, the wolves usually eat outside." Josie turned to Rafael. "Well, Y/N in here and I'd rather hang out with you guys." Rafael said pushing in his chair. "Hey, I didn't see you at the assembly" Y/N questioned. "I'm still trying to figure out my way around this place" Rafael explained. "So you two aren't at Mystic Falls High..why?" Rafael asked. "They had everyone they needed. Two vampires, a witches and a tribrid." Y/N answered. "Yeah, well I'm also working offensive spells for class. They only teach defensive magic here, but I personally think that the curriculum needs to evolve." Josie said. Rafael looked over to Y/N in confusion. Y/N just nodded.

"What?" Josie asked the two. "I'm still trying to wrap my head around this being a normal conversation here." Rafael said.

Jed came up from behind Josie. "Bounce, witch. I need to talk to Rafael" Jed said. Y/N stood up from her chair. "Jed, Hi. You know I don't think Rafael's available at the moment" Y/N said. "Sadly for you both I'm your alpha. You're done when I say you're done and you will move with I say you will" Jed explained trying to move Y/N. She didn't budge. "You are NOT my alpha" Y/N argued. Rafael stood up. "Y/N, it's fine, let's go." Josie stood up. "We have to get to class" Josie continued. Y/N grabbed Josie stuff and hers. "I'll walk you guys" Rafael offered.

"I'm sorry about Jed he's kinda a bitch" Y/N walked alone with Rafael. "Ow, that hurts, Y/N" Jed comes down from the stairs. Y/N rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Foster Kid. I've been looking for you." Jed announced. "I'll catch up with you later. I gotta get to class" Rafael turned around along with Y/N and where blocked. "I don't want any problems" Rafael turned back to Jed. "Neither do we. We just want to initiate you into the pack. Okay, the process is simple. You triggered your werewolf curse this month, which means you killed somebody recently. Maybe on purpose, maybe not. All you gotta do is tell us the story. That's our rite of passage." Jed explained. "You don't have to, Rafael" Y/N placed her hand on his shoulder. "Yeah, I'm not really a pack kinda guy" Rafael tried to push his way through. "You still don't get it, do you? You don't have a choice. You can either submit or you can bleed and then submit. It's your call." Jed explained. Rafael looked over to Y/N. They both knew what they had to do. Waiting a moment before the both ran. Rafael was grabbed by Jed and thrown over the ledge. Y/N ran over to him. "Raf! Hey, are you ok" Y/N asked Jed and this friends jumped down to the two. Y/N raised her hands causing the two other guys aside from Jed to freeze up. "Jed, you and your mutts need to go, or the only ones who will be bleeding are them." Y/N threatened. Jed looked over at them. "No." Jed didn't believe the Mikaelson girl. "Hey!" Josie came from the hall. Y/N looked over to her, but Jed didn't. "I said Hey!" Josie touched the wall siphoning from it. Y/N dropped her hand and they all fell to the floor. Josie stopped the spell. Jed kicked Rafael one more time. "To be continued" Jed said before leaving. Y/N and Josie ran over to Rafael.
