Hello! Happy belated New Year and belated Merry Christmas! I wanted to upload this during the holidays but prior social engagements emptied my social battery so I chose to sleep. And suddenly the holidays are almost over! I have already started writing Chapter 27 so I don't know when that will be up.
I hope and wish 2024 is peaceful and that all of you are safe and healthy and have everything you need and want!

Atlanta: Salvatore Residence:
Stefanie was staring at Katherine as she was essentially giving a lecture on the types of witches and magic that used to exist. Stefanie listened and kept notes in the notebook resting on her cross-folded knees.
Since becoming Queen Of Hell, Katherine was not touched by Malivore's trick in erasing people's memories of the species he consumed, making her the perfect teacher to prepare Stefanie for what was to come and her destiny. It was still unknown and unclear to Katherine what Stefanie was supposed to do but her gut was telling her it was serious and dangerous. So, she ought to prepare this young witch before her as best as she could! She was one of her descendents after all and she was now turning a new leaf, protecting them instead of plotting their downfall like she did with Elena, the young witch's mother.
Stefanie for now was being introduced to theory and herbs and hand movements without actively casting spells, she needed to have a strong foundation and understanding of what she was doing, magic has a price and unfortunately, it's not age-discriminating or forgiving. As much as Katherine won't admit out loud she hated seeing how much Bonnie went through with her magic while having no one to aid her and keep her in a good path, she was dead-set against allowing the girl before her be another Bonnie Bennett in that aspect.
The lecture kept going until Damon knocked on the door and said;
"Bath time, missy! Hogwarts is out for tonight!"
Katherine rolled her eyes at his comment but smiled while Stefanie giggled childishly before shutting her notebooks and standing up.
"Thank you for the class, Katherine, really!" Stefanie said as she hugged the ruler of hell and Katherine hugged her tightly and gently kissed her head.
"We will continue this tomorrow same time, kid, now go bathe you smell!" Katherine lightly joked as she ruffled the girl's hair and then disappeared while Stefanie grabbed her towels and unlocked her bedroom door.
Damon and Elena were trying to come to terms with their new reality but Katherine was right, Stefanie needed help so they had to suffer Katherine for the sake of their daughter. And so far Katherine hadn't caused any issues quite the opposite! Their daughter seemed back to normal like she was before the Christmas debacle!
Mystic Falls, Virginia: Salvatore Academy:
Lizzie was marching back to the cafeteria after her explosive conversation with her dad, the thought of emancipation sounding much sweeter by the hour!
She saw Peter standing by the door of the cafeteria and she felt the boiling anger reach fever pitch as she tapped him in the shoulder rather roughly.
"If you die it won't be our fault, remember this! You put yourself in this situation, Peter! Welcome to hell, cous!" Lizzie told him angrily as she passed him and Peter's troubled eyes seemed to barely register what she told him but the frown was enough to confirm to her that he heard it.
Walking to her table she located Hope with her eyes and gently motioned for her to come to the side to talk.
"Hope...I overheard Dorian saying that he's going to Singapore to replace your Aunt Felicity...and that she's sick with some weird virus...do you know about this?" Lizzie asked hesitantly keeping her voice as hushed as she could.
