Salvatore Child: Resurrection | Legacies •BOOK 2 •

The Psychotic Heretics

"Kai."

Kai laughs. He siphons from his arm. "I'm assume I missed a lot. Who's this," he as ask pointing to Steven. "Stefan's son, Steven." Alaric smiles.

"I want to understand why you're smiling," Kai asks. "Probably because we're the same. You're a heretic right?"

Kai's eyes widen. Steven siphons from his arm as well. "Icaeus." Steven releases a blue wave towards Kai. Kai hold his hand out to siphon the magic, but Steven thought smarter.

 He quickly rushed at him as he siphoned the spell, punching him in his stomach. Kai flew several feet far.

"Nice move, but mines are better. Dimitere." Steven starts to choke while lifting into the air. Steven pushes his hand forward, which dragged Kai towards him. 

Kai lost control of the spell and Steven went back down. Steven held him by the neck. "This, is for my sisters." Steven snaps his neck.

Alaric drags his body into the pick-up truck. Steven walks towards the orb. He tries to touch it and flies back. "Oww."

"Try siphoning it," Hope says. Steven walks up to the orb and starts siphoning. "It's dark magic, the magic hurts a bit." He lets go. "Dr. Saltzman, we have a problem. "Just leave, we'll figure it out after we get Kai to the school cellars."

Steven chants a barrier spell. "Vis Porta."

Alaric drags Kai's body into the cellar, then hurries to get out. "So what do we do with him," Hope ask. 

"Anything, just make him suffer."

Alaric walks out and leave Kai to Hope and Steven. "You hate him," Hope asks Steven. "He's had part in my father death, and he's responsible for my aunt's magical coma."

"I did what I did to survive," Kai says sitting up.

"No, you did what you did because of you. You're a sociopath, a psychopath, a murderer.... And now, I'm gonna tear you apart. Dolore Sanguis."

 Kai's blood starts to boil. Kai start to yell in pain. Steven stops the spell after a while. Kai tries to catch his breath. "You're pretty strong for a young teenager."

"Trust me, I'm way older than you."

"How old are you exactly," Hope ask Steven. "Technically About 16 years younger than my father." Steven turns back towards Kai. "Tell me how you got back, now."

"I don't exactly know, I just got here with an urge to hurt the students and another to protect that weird orb."

Steven stumbles out along with Hope. "Hey calm down, everything will be fine, why are you so mad?"

"I just hate him for the things he does."  "Hey, earlier you says 'This is for my sisters', what did you mean by that?"

"Basically Lizzie and Josie became me step sister when my dad and Caroline got married."

"Your family really confusing."

"I know."

Steven and Hope start a bang sound coming from Alaric's Office. Steven uses his vampire hearing. 

"Stay back."

Steven could hear Alaric yelling at someone. "Grab my hand, Hope," Steven tell her. Hope does as told and he speed towards the office. "Patere." Hope blasts the doors open. 

"It's another Heretic," Alaric yells out. "You know him," Steven says moving towards the heretic. "His name is Oscar, but I really hope this isn't the possessed version of him."

"It is, he wouldn't act like this unless he was drinking blood," Valerie says coming in. She holds her fingers together and starts to choke him. Oscar eventually passes out.

Valerie walks up to his body with a stake, then pushes it into his heart, killing him. "You knew him, Mom?"

"Yeah, he was part of the Heretic coven your grandmother made, I was in it as well." "How many Heretic were the coven?"

"The others are dead, there were 6 of us. We were a family."

Steven picks up Oscar's body. "I'll take his body to be buried outside."
