SHADED HEARTS ~ K.M

19 ~ we all go a little mad sometimes

Walking around the main town of Mystic Falls my phone rings in my back pocket.

Picking it up I smile as I see who it is.

"Hey Bon, what's up?"

"Hey Rai, I need your help it's Elena." Bonnie saids worriedly over the phone.

"What the hell has she done this time?" I complained.

"This isn't her fault, Klaus took her and we don't know where she is. All we know is there's a hunter's curse involved, a witch curse. Right now you're the only one with magic, please Sarai."

"Okay what ever, I have a better idea. Shane knows everything about everything. I'll ask him for help."

"Shane, as in the Professor since when did you get on first name basis with him?" Bonnie inquired.

"Uh well, when we were at that frat party he explained a lot of witchy like details and I have feeling this might be up his alley." I say slightly ignoring her question.

"But anyways I have to go I'll get him and meet you guys later, bye" I say quickly, hanging up on her before she could respond.

Later that night I brought Shane to the school to meet up with Damon inside Alaric's classroom.

Weird choice but it wasn't my idea.

Walking into Alaric's classroom, I met Damon with a bottle of bourbon. Rolling my eyes at the sight.

"Shane, this is my friend, Damon. He's kind of an expert on this stuff too." I spoke half truthfully.

"I audited your class. Very enlightening." Damon saids to Prof. Shane.

"That's right, I remember you. What's your specialty?" He responded.

"The origin of a species."

"Ah, I think Darwin would arm wrestle you for that distinction."

"Not that species." Damon implied.

"You're into the monster stuff. All right, awesome." Prof. Shane smiled.

"I was kind of hoping you might have stumbled upon this at some point, maybe." Damon pulls out a piece of paper and hands it to Prof. Shane.

"This is the hunter's mark. Where did you get this?" He speaks unfolding the paper showing the sketch Jeremy made earlier today.

"Came to me in a dream. Do you know anything about the hunter's curse?"

"Why, you got a dead hunter in the trunk of your car or something?" Prof. Shane spoke with sarcasm.

"Metaphorically speaking." Damon grinned.

"Legend says that if a hunter is killed by that which it hunts, then that person will be cursed to walk the Earth in torment until...."

"Until?" I added.

"Until the new hunter is awakened and their legacy is passed on. They're called potentials."
Listen, I have a bunch of research on it. Why don't I go grab it for you?" He continues. Damon takes out his phone.

"That'd be great." Prof. Shane hands the hunter's mark drawing back to Damon.

"Hey, thanks." He walks out the classroom leaving Damon and I to share a look.

"How are we supposed to find a potential hunter?" I asked him.

"Yeah, about that." Damon starts before pulling out his phone again calling someone.
