THIRTY-NINE

◆With Alaric◆

"Cassie, is it?" Alaric asked sitting in front of Cassie and Rafael.

"Cassie, I'm Dr. Saltzman. I am here to help you." Alaric continued.

"I... I don't understand what's happening. Why am I here?" Cassie asked confused.

"I didn't know what to tell her." Rafael said

"Um, well, do you mind telling me the last few things that you remember?" Alaric asked.

"Um... Raf and I were driving home from a track meet. The roads were bad, it was wet, and then dark, and I heard this voice telling me to open up my eyes, and then I was here." Cassie said.

"Okay. Well, listen, this is gonna be really hard for you to understand, but... those memories you have, those are from two months ago. You were in a car accident. You didn't survive. And tonight, you were resurrected from the dead." Alaric said.

Cassie looked between Rafael and Alaric scared.

"Poor girl." Caroline said with a frown.

"Find anything yet?" Hope asked Dorian.

"Necromancy is everywhere in occult literature. It's a form of sorcery that dates back to ancient Greece. It involves the ability to communicate with and raise the dead. But there's nothing about a specific necromancer, so whoever this dude is, he's been erased from history like every other monster that comes looking for the Knife." Dorian said getting down the ladder with a book in hand.

"What more creature could be there that were erased from history?" Jeremy wondered out loud.

"Is there any way to stop him from bringing back dead people? Because if this week is any indication, it's kind of becoming a thing." Hope said.

"I'll look into it, but tomorrow's my day off, so it might take a minute." Dorian said.

"Evil never takes a holiday, Dorian." Henrik said walking towards Hope and Dorian.

"True" Many people agreed.

"Well, every year on Remembrance Day, I do. I write my letters, pack my lunch and I head to the cemetery and ring that bell in honor of my dead family." Dorian said making Hope look down while Henrik pulled Hope in a side hug.

Klaus pulled both his kids in a hug.

"So for the next hours, ask Dr. Saltzman." Dorian continued.

"Fair. But I'm worried about him. Do you think he's okay?" Hope asked leaning into Henrik.

"I think after the week he's had, he needs a nap." Dorian said. 

"And a therapist." He added with a chuckle.

"I'll definitely need therapist." Alaric muttered making Damon chuckle.

"Maybe even a vacation of his own. Take these to him for me, would you? Thanks." Dorian said handing Henrik some books.

"Thank you." Hope and Henrik walked away.

" You okay?" Henrik asked as they walked the hallway.

"Yeah." Hope nodded.

"You know tomorrow we could go to New Orleans. Just you and me." Henrik said 

"Have lunch at the bayou maybe." Henrik continued.

Everyone smiled sadly at them.

Most of the kids at the boarding school lost people they loved. It made the adults sad thinking what they have been gone through at a young age.

"Maybe some other day with The Necromancer here its better we stay here." Hope said.

"Or we both can go to the grill." Henrik said.

"What about Lexi?" Hope asked.

"She'll understand." Henrik said making Hope nod.

"Hey I have to go. But listen I'm here for you ok." Henrik said making Hope nod.

"And I love you sister" Henrik said kissing her forehead.

"I love you too brother." Hope said hugging him.

"Now don't get mushy." Henrik chuckled.

Klaus was happy atleast they have each other to lean on.

Hope playful pushed him. Henrik then walked away while Hope watched Alaric talking to Cassie and Rafael.
