The rest of the morning passed pretty uneventfully for Eli. There wasn't much any of them could really do while Dorian went and tried to locate the urn by diving into the river where a possessed Alaric had thrown it off a bridge into.
In a way, he's glad that it had been Ric who did it as it almost felt like he wouldn't be able to judge any of them for the things they did when they were under the slugs' possession since he had done the worst.
In fact, the most eventful the morning got was when Alaric stopped him in the corridor after he had listened into him and Kaleb having a conversation about how Kaleb was joining him and a small group of them on a spring break trip to recover the urn, which was in Maple Hollows. As much as Eli loved the Saltzman twins and wanting to spend time with Hope, there was no way he's going to spend more time than utterly necessary trapped on a road trip with them and Dorian and Emma - especially since he wants to do some bonding with the pack.
"Yeah, no," Eli replied before the man even had the chance to open his mouth, watching as his eyebrows raised in surprise. "I'm not coming on your spring break retrieval trip."
"Oh come on," Alaric sighed as he trailed after him, knowing that he wanted him there as he wasn't entirely sure how he would cope being left there for the unofficial holiday season without Hope to keep him company. Sure he's friendly with the boys, but he figured he spent his time researching that book even more and he figured he should also do some binding with the pack. "It'll be your first proper one."
Eli turned around, his eyes narrowed as he realised that was not the best thing to have said to the boy whose parents had died and his maternal family hadn't known she existed until a month or two ago.
"Yeah well, I've already made spring break plans," he lied through his teeth, noticing that his teacher did not believe what Lockwood was saying at all. Almost like being saved by the bell, Eli noticed that Rafael had just turned the corner and was walking directly towards them. He reached out and grabbed on to the co alpha werewolf, tugging him to stand beside him as he looked at Alaric. "I'm spending it with MG, Raf and Landon."
"You are?" Raf asked before noticing Alaric's smug look and Eli gave him a look that says, 'dude, help!' Raf understood. "Oh yeah, you are!"
"Really?" Alaric asked Eli before sighing and thinking about the logistics of trying to fit another supernatural teenager into the already cramped van. "Fine, you can stay here but only because I don't think we even have enough seats. But make sure the wolves head into the bunker before the full moon."
"I will."
🐺🧛🏻♂️ 36 Hours Later
"Dr. S," Kaleb said as he entered the room, the older man turning to look at the vampire with a sigh. He was tired and he just wanted to sleep after the journey they'd just had.
"Kaleb. We just killed a mummy and spent six hours in a van together, and I'm not sure..."
Kaleb shook his head as he cut the principal off, his worry for his friend trumping any concern that Dr Saltzman had about them spending anymore time than necessary together. MG didn't just disappear - he was a suckler for the rules.
