Fighting Love | Stefan Salvatore

The One With The Real Truth

The Radkova witch's talk with Rebekah didn't exactly go the way that she had hoped. Emily did find out the source of how to kill Klaus before the hope quickly disappeared when Rebekah revealed that her family destroyed the one thing that could take down the original family.

Emily refused to give up, though. They still had the Lockwood cellar filled of drawings to decipher that could possibly help them in getting rid of the original hybrid for good.

While the Radkova witch had been sitting in Damon's Mustang on the side of the road to calm her mind, Alaric texted her to let her know that he wasn't at his apartment and that he and Bonnie went to the Lockwood cellar to piece the drawings together.

The Radkova witch felt a sense of hope enter her body once more as she turned the Mustang around and headed towards the Lockwood property. Emily could only pray that they would be able to find a new, useful piece of information from the drawings.

It took Emily a good fifteen minutes before she arrived at the edge of the Lockwood property. The Radkova witch parked Damon's car out of sight in case Mrs. Lockwood came home and became suspicious of the muscle car in her driveway.

Emily made sure the car was hidden under a large tree before the Radkova witch headed into the woods and towards where she knew the old cellar was located.

Emily used her cell phone's flashlight as she slowly and carefully traveled through the dark cave while she used the wall to help guide her forward. The Radkova witch felt a sense of relief when she finally heard Alaric and Bonnie's voices bouncing off the walls.

"Hey," Emily murmured as she walked into the main part of the cave, where the vampire hunter had the area lit up by two large flashlights. Emily turned off her cell phone's light and shoved the device into her pocket before she walked towards the hunter and the witch.

Alaric turned around at the new arrival before he shot the Radkova witch a small smile. "Hey," the Saltzman hunter murmured as he greeted Emily before he asked, "how did your talk with Rebekah go?"

Emily released a small groan as she leaned her body up against the wall in the cave. "I hit a dead end," the Radkova witch admitted.

Bonnie looked over to her fellow witch with her brows pulled together. "What happened?" Bonnie inquired.

Emily slowly shook her head as she let out a huff. "I just got a bunch of information that doesn't help us," Emily muttered as she pushed herself off the wall when she noticed it was covered in post-it notes. "Have you learned anything useful?" The Radkova witch asked as glanced over to Alaric.

"Kind of," Alaric uttered as he walked over to the very left wall in the cave. "Bonnie's been helping me put it all together," Alaric stated before he began pointing at different drawings as he listed, "a vampire, a werewolf, a slaughter of some sort."

Bonnie moved over to the next image on the wall as she told the Radkova witch, "we can't figure out what the tree is supposed to mean, though."

Emily's green eyes slightly widened once she followed where the Bennett witch was staring at. "That's the white oak tree," Emily revealed as she pointed towards the aforementioned drawing. "It's what created the first vampires," the Radkova witch informed the duo, "and it's the only thing that could kill an original. Rebekah said her family burned it down once they realized the power it held against them."

"Okay," Alaric murmured as he walked over to the makeshift table in the cave. "So, tree equals weapon... sort of," Alaric mumbled as he wrote down on a post-it note before he walked over and stuck it onto the wall below the drawing of the tree.

The Radkova witch walked past the now labeled tree before she noticed another drawing that didn't have a post-it note underneath it. "What about this one?" Emily asked.
