Salvatore Child: Resurrection | Legacies •BOOK 2 •

Riddle-Solving

"Well, I forgot about that part," Hope says, seeing the ash fade away. "Ok so let's work on the first part of the riddle, Another veil opens," Mg says. "What do you guys think that means?" "A portal to a prison world, maybe," Steven assumes. 

"Maybe it's Kai, he's been like three prison worlds," Hope says. "But he's dead, remember," Josie says. "Yeah, but the Sphinx says resulting in more confusion, we don't know how he could be back, boom, confusion," Steven says. 

"You sure Salvatore," Kaleb says. "No," he quickly replies back. "Well that was a quick answer," Lizzie says to them. "Ok, someone get me a map, I'll run a locator spell to find Kai," Hope demands. 

"Oh I have one, from spell incantation class," Steven says handing Hope the map. She sits it on the desk then turns around. "Anyone have something that belonged to him," she ask. No one answers. "Josie, come here," she tells her. 

Hope gets a pocket knife from a shelf and tells Josie to hold out her hand. She makes a small cut into her palm and hold it over the map. "Phesmatos Tribum, Et Coporum Vertix." The blood on the map doesn't travel at all. "Ok, so I guess we're wrong, he's not alive," Hope tells them. 

"You kids go to class, we'll figure this out later," Dr. Saltzman tells them, crumbling the map together. They all exit the office and return to their classes. Dr. Saltzman continues researching on what the riddle could be with Dorian. 

"Another veil opens?" He had a frustrated face on. "We need to figure this out before we have a threat coming our way," Dorian tell Alaric. Just as he says that they hear screaming. 

They both rush to the noise and see one of the students laying on the ground with more student standing around her. "Everyone stand back," Alaric tell the students. The girl was bleeding from the neck, nearly drained of blood. 

The vampires' eyes turn red after seeing the blood. 

"Code red, vampires clear out." Every single vampire rushes out. Dorian picks up the girl and starts rushing towards the school nurse.

"Ok everyone go to your dorms, we'll figure out who did this, classes are canceled for today," Dr. Saltzman tells the student.

"You think it was one of the vampires here," Steven ask Mg and Kaleb as they walk into MG's room. 

"Look man all I know is that it wasn't me, and that's all I need to know," Kaleb tells them, sitting down in a chair. 

"Let's stop talking about the situation, let's talk about the riddle, what do guys think it means," Mg ask them. "I gave out an idea, it's yall turn," Steven says.

"We'll wait to the girl, heals, then we'll ask her who attacked her," Mg says. "Well, now, we have to stay out of the halls for about an hour," Steven says sitting down on the floor.

"Hey Mg," Stevan says. "Yeah," Mg says looking over the bed to look at him. "Do you have any paper?" Mg lifts up an eyebrow. 

"Yeah," he says handing over the paper. Steven writes on the paper, then balls it up. "Sanguinem Transporta, incenarious catem." The balled-up paper, burst in flames and disappears.

"That did...... what," Kaleb says. "I sent a message to Hope about the plan, Hopefully she'll tell the others."

I Hour Later

"Come on, Hopefully we can leave now," Mg says. They leave the room and see Hope, Lizzie and Josie instantly. 

"Hey, Dad says she hasn't fully recovered, but she's able to answer some questions for us," Josie says as we walk down the hallway. Josie point to the room for people who were injured. The 6 walk in and go towards the bed she was laying on. 

"Excuse, I'm Mg, who you probably already of, but anyway, do you know who attacked you?"

"No, I-i couldn't see his face, he had a black or red cloak on." Hope, Lizzie and Josie share a look. "Necromancer," Hope ask. 

"Thank you, let know if you remember anything," Lizzie says. They all exit the room. "What if is The Necromancer or Ted or whatever," Lizzie says. "There's only one way to find out," Hope says. 

They enter the gym with a map and candles. Dr Saltzman hands Steven a knife with The Necromancer blood on it. "Ok the Necromancer is really strong, we'll need all four of us witches to do the spell," Josie says. 

Steven, Lizzie, Josie, and Hope sit in a circle. Josie places the knife beside the map. "Sanguinem generis, animos, Katari kahn filio animos, generis, sanguis," They repeat. 

Flames appear on the candles and the flames rise. "Why is there so much wind," Kaleb says. "It's a powerful spell that require dark magic," Dr. Saltzman says. "I thought witches weren't allowed."

"We're saving the school, plus, they link themselves to Steven, he's a vampire, which will give them a lower chance of bad side effects, and death." The blood does nothing but sit on the knife. 

"It's not working," Steven says. "Try harder," Hope forces. "Sanguinem generis, animos, Katari kahn filio animos, generis, sanguis." The blood finally comes off the knife and unto the map. 

It then spreads out as if he were in multiple places. After they stare at the map for a while, they hear someone knocking things over. 

"Hope, Steven, MG check that out hurry," Josie says after seeing that a blood streak traveled to the school. Steven and Hope let go of their hands and leave with Mg. 

They exit out of the gym and see a man with a black cloak. "This is who she was talking about," Mg whispers. The man turns around and faces them. 

"You're Stefan Salvatore's son," he says as his eyes turn red and he removes the cloak. He rushes at me and I instantly fly at the wall. 

"Ow." Stevan bites into his arm. "Vitris" The blood from his wrist hardens in the shape of a blade. 

Steven rushes back at the man and stabs him with the blade. He gets visions after the kill. "I like I know him. He said he knew my father. Maybe it's my dad's memory. His name is Federick, he's some tomb vampire thing. He's suppose to be dead. He Mg. What was that riddle?"

"Another veil opens, resulting in more confusion, 1 shall defeat, as multiple result is death. I think."

"I think I figured it out. There must be some portal or something that brough him back. we need to close it, before any other get brought back."
