Everyone was discussing about Triad Industries and its connections with Malivore.

MG with sadness said,"I didn't know they did all these things."

Kaleb comforted," Don't worry, we know that you haven't met them for a long time?'

MG nodded, but he was not sure what to think off his mother after hearing about everything Triad did. He sighed and muttered,"Let's hope they didn't do anything worse."

While Alex talked with Klaus, Kol, Elijah , Finn and Marcel over how to take down Triad. But they decided to wait until the viewing is over.

In Triad industries, their meeting room was filled with dead bodies, and only one person was alive: Clarke, son of Malivore. He looked at their attackers, two kitsunes—one looked like a teenage girl while the other wore an oni mask. Clarke kept a calm face, but internally he was panicking as he asked, "Who are you, and what do you want from me?"

Inko sneered and said, "Don't act all innocent, son of Malivore. We know what you are." Clarke was surprised as he was sure he had hidden his shock quite perfectly as he asked, "What do you want, Kitsune?"

Inko smiled and said, "I want my mother, Tama no Mae, back. Don't deny it; I know you are capable of bringing monsters back from the pit."

Clarke knew it was his father who controlled who came out of the pit as he asked, "What do I get out of this little deal?"

Inko smirked and replied, "I will help you unseal Malivore and even find your father's nemesis, the hybrid."

Clarke wasn't surprised about the hybrid. He had been trying to find out who it was for quite a while, but all searches came up empty. He wasn't sure about this alliance, but when he saw the Oni bring out a dagger, he was slightly confused as Inko spoke, "This is one of the keys to your father's prison. So now are you ready to form the alliance?"

Clarke nodded and asked, "I love to, but I am sure after you get your mother out, you will still want your people to be free of my father's pursuit. So how could I trust you on whether this is the actual key?"

Inko was slightly annoyed but kept it from showing on her face as she smiled and replied, "We already checked it if this is real, and all you need to do is throw this into Malivore's pit, and then you will see."

Clarke nodded as he was still not sure but hesitantly agreed. Both agreed to the fact that Clarke will ask Malivore to not consume the Kitsunes because of their help. But another thing that worried Clarke was he found someone had come there before and he found Seylah's photograph. He really wanted to check all the previous employees, but it is restricted. Clarke agreed with the alliance for now.

Elijah muttered,"So Clarke is another son of Malivore."

Marcel spoke up,"Already add him to the list."

Kol scoffed and added "Kitsunes and oni masks? Sounds like a bad horror movie."

Kai agreed and said,"It seems many things have changed since I have been stuck in the prison world."

Caroline sighed and muttered,"Now he is has one key, Let's hope other two doesn't end up in theirs hands."

Alex, Bonnie, Freya and others silently agreed with this.

Alex sighed as he was called by Caroline to meet their new resident magical creature, which is a unicorn. It was basically a white horse with a horn sticking out of its head. With color  shade of pure white that was so bright, it made freshly fallen snow looked grey by comparison.It is very beautiful, Unicorns were considered pure and sacred creatures.

The girls were in awe seeing unicorns, "Amazing."

Freya, Davina and Bonnie looked at witches were interested in Unicorns connection to Nature and magic.

Alexander spoke up,"Like my counterpart said Unicorns are pure and sacred creatures liking one is practically a death sentence, since like Harry Potter you practically get cursed."

Hope with excitement questioned,"Can we keep the unicorn for Salvatore Boarding school?"

Caroline was not sure,but seeing Hope, Lizzie and Josie look at her wirh hope. she didn't know what to say.

Alex spoke up,"Unicorns are not dangerous, so keeping them is not really a problem."

Caroline hearing this sighed and said,"Okay, when we find it. We will keep it in the school."

Hope, Josie and Lizzie were excited.

Alex had sensed something amiss in the unicorn, but he just couldn't put a finger on it. Since this unicorn was emitting quite a dark feeling, he whispered, "Something is wrong."

Alex quickly cast a barrier spell around it to make sure nothing happened to it as Hope saw this and questioned, "Why are you casting a barrier spell over it?"

Alex frowned and said, "Something just doesn't feel right about it. I mean, unicorns are said to be very pure creatures. But I sense something wrong with this one."

Alex did a purification spell, and the unicorn in question went slightly crazy before something dropped from its ear.

Alex scowled seeing that slug. He recognized it from a picture from his grimoire as he quickly caught it. Hope looked slightly green and asked, "What was that thing?"

Alex, looking at it, explained, "It is a supernatural creature that looks like a worm, enters a person's body through ears or nose. It can replicate itself within its host, make their hosts susceptible to suggestion, and then finally kills the said host."

Lizzie seeing slug almost vomited and said"Ew, slugs!"

Alex spoke up," Like my counter part said The slug is supernatural creature that infect hosts by through the nose, ear, or mouth, at which point will make their way into the prefrontal cortex of the brain. The slugs replicate inside the host and lie in wait for the opportunity to infect someone else while lowering the hosts inhibitions. Once the host becomes susceptible to suggestion, they'll do whatever the slug wants. After which the host will perish."

Eventhough Caroline knows Alex has spells to counterattack the slug, but she was still slightly worried"If Josie’s infected, we need to find her and use the purification spell on her quickly."

Caroline, Lizzie and Alaric didn't want her daughter in danger.

Freya sighed and muttered,"If we didn't know about it, more people could have been infected and maybe even all of Mystic Falls."

Bonnie continued Freyas thoughts,"They would die without even finding out they are being controlled"

Hope muttered."Let's hope the number of people infected are low."

Alex spoke up,"The infected are easy to spot, since they behave completely different from their original personality."

Everyone noted it.

Hope was now worried and asked, "Do you think anyone got it?"

Alex used psychic reading and found out Josie was here, and by the looks of it, she seems to have gotten one inside her. Alex frowned and said, "Let's find Caroline because if Josie is infected, then the possibility is half the school has it."
