Her Purpose || Kai Parker

Chapter 20

Meanwhile, Stefan had hidden Klaus’s coffins with Bonnie’s help, leaving Klaus growing more violent by the day.

Elena and Damon urged Stefan to return Klaus his family, warning him of the consequences.

Klaus, however, informed Estrella of the situation himself.

"I think your brothers don’t share the same brain cells as you," Klaus scoffed over the phone. "They clearly underestimate me, assuming I won’t harm them because of you. Tell Stefan to return the coffins."

"You promised not to hurt them, Nik," Estrella reminded him, her voice tense.

"Yes, I did. If they behaved. And they haven’t. I know you’re smart enough to convince them," Klaus replied, hanging up abruptly.

Estrella’s hair flared red with anger. "Idiots," she muttered under her breath, frustration evident.

Bonnie, meanwhile, quietly made her way up the staircase of the old witch house, only to stop when she saw Damon standing there, his finger pressed to his lips, signaling her to remain silent as they listened closely.

Outside, a hybrid spotted Stefan and vamped out, attacking him.

But before the hybrid could bite Stefan, he began choking violently.

Red magic swirled, ripping a wooden piece from a nearby window and sending it straight through the hybrid’s heart.

His body hit the ground with a dull thud, all within moments.

Everyone turned to find Estrella standing there, red magic flickering ominously in her fingertips.

"Hello, brothers," she greeted, her tone dripping with sarcasm. "Or should I say, idiots."

"These hybrids are really bringing the neighborhood down," Damon quipped, though his eyes were on her hands.

"What are you doing here?" Stefan asked, while Bonnie, still stunned, blurted, "How did you do that?"

"And how did you even find us?" Damon added.

Estrella crossed her arms, answering each question calmly. "Saving your lives, Stefan, and Bonnie, I practiced like you said, and Damon, I used locator magic with my blood. Easy."

She stepped forward, her gaze steely. "Now, where are the coffins?"

Bonnie, narrowing her eyes, asked in disbelief, "He roped you into this too?"

As Estrella entered the house, an eerie silence fell over the room.

Without warning, she screamed and collapsed to her knees, her body trembling violently.

Damon and Stefan rushed to her side, their concern etched on their faces. "Bonnie!" Stefan called out, panic in his voice.

"I’m not doing anything!" Bonnie replied, equally frantic. "They don’t want her here. The witches. It’s them."

Estrella’s vision blurred, and haunting whispers began to echo around her, growing louder with each passing moment.

"Abomination," one voice hissed.

"Defier of nature," another accused.

"Impure,"  "Maker of creatures,"

"A disgrace to the witch community,"

"Evil Enchantress," the voices chanted in a chilling chorus.

The air turned icy cold, and dark shadows slithered along the walls.
