Mystic Falls: Salvatore Boarding House

Stefan, Y/N, And James are all still processing the situation they are now in. Every single Tomb Vampire has escaped and is now on the loose, whether it'd be in Mystic Falls or somewhere else, wilderness or another town. Not only that, but they are stronger than the entire council plus Stefan and probably even James and Bonnie combined. So not only are they out-numbered, but they are out-gunned too. 

But, that's not even the worse news. The worse news is on the floor, all three of them looking down at it with sad expressions, especially Y/N. 

Alaric's dead corpse.

"So.... what should we do with it?" James asks cautiously, wanting to bring the dark truth that they are potentially going to have to deal with it themselves. "Do we cover it up? Or......?" He suggests with a shrug. "I mean, the police aren't going to believe us, right?"

"You'd be surprised...." Y/N quietly responds, his eyes still on his mentor's body. James notices the look in his eyes and glances at Stefan, who visibly confirms them to be close people, at least in a mentorship sense. 

"We could call it a break-in." Stefan suggests, taking in the fact that they broke through the window and also look the part as criminals, wearing mostly black. The only issue would be that it's night, and unlike the movies, no smart burglar actually breaks into a home at night. "Say that she killed Alaric and then attacked us, his cause of death isn't anything supernatural."

"They know, though.... don't they?" Y/N brings up as he looks at Stefan, who's face doesn't deny it as he remembers the troubles he went through at the hands of the council. "Why don't we just tell them? Even if they'll pretend to think we're crazy, they have to know."

"And then what do you think will happen?" Stefan questions as he immediately jumps to shooting down that plan. "Look, I know this may sound selfish, but I can't risk getting staked the second they figure out that I'm one of them."

"So, it's true..." James deducts as he takes in Stefan's choice of words carefully. "You're a Vampire." He identifies him, and seeing how he's a Bennet, he nods.

"And I take it you're a Warlock?"

"Yup."

"Look, we'll focus on the exposition dump." Y/N quickly cuts in with a hand as he grits his teeth while looking down at Alaric. "Just....." He takes a deep breath so whatever emotions he's feeling don't surface up at this inapropriate time. "Just help me take care of the body, maybe we'll put in the woods or-"

Before he can finish his sentence..... the blade pops out of Alaric's chest, and the man shoots back to life with a gasp, causing all of them to take a step back in shock. "Argh..... my ribs...." The teacher groans as he feels the area where he was impaled, before looking up at everyone who looks like they're staring at a zombie. "What?"

"Wha- What on God's Green Earth do you think, what?!" Y/N exclaims as all of them are pretty much thinking the same thing right now. "You just died and rose back up!" He tells him as he points to the bloody knife that is now on the floor. 

"W-Wait..... died?" Alaric utters in extreme confusion, looking around as his mind finally flashing back to everything that just happened in record time. "Oh my gosh..... I didn't even see it coming." He states as Y/N begins kneeling down and observing the man as if making sure he's not in a dream. "How did...?" He asks as he looks at all of them.

"You must have had Vampire blood in your system." Stefan assumes, as that's the only possible explanation for coming back to life. In a hundred years, he hasn't learned any other way.
