I See You

Nine

|Galen's POV|

"You need to kill Silas" Esther stares at me as I sit with her in this sitting room "but you haven't killed enough vampires, what if I told you that you could complete the mark all by killing my children?"

"What do you mean?" Looking down at my mark that hasn't gone past my wrist in years.

"There's a theory on the Other Side" she explains "something that has been seen for thousands of years, if a hunter kills a vampire who is old and has killed multiple people the larger his mark becomes. If you killed my children, you'd instantly complete the mark"

"But your children are immortal" shaking my head confused still "you need wood from the White Oak tree to even kill one of them"

"Or enough magic" she corrects me "which is why I need Autumn's help, she's a paragon. Paragon's are very powerful supernatural beings, with me channeling from her but also from the Bennett Bloodline—living and dead I can temporarily turn one of my children into mortals. They'll still have their speed and strength but will be killable"

"My children are abominations" Esther speaks to Autumn and Elena, I'm next to Autumn. After the dance, we met up with Esther who explained to us what she needs from Autumn and Elena just happened to be nearby "it was crime against nature when I created them, vampires are a mistake I must fix. Autumn, the power inside of you is immense. I'll need to harness it while Elena, I need a drop of your blood"

"My blood?" She asks warily

"My family believes I had this ball hosted for a reunion" Esther shook her head no "I wanted to bring them together to preform a binding spell, blood bound by the doppelgänger. With your blood the essence will be in the champagne, it's as you said. Klaus can't be killed, but any of my other children can. So I'll have Galen here kill them"

"Why him?" Elena asks

"I'm apart of the Brotherhood of the Five" I explain to her because I no longer care "once my mark is completed by killing an Original, I'll find the first immortal and kill him by using the cure"

"The cure?" She looks around "what's that?"

"The cure to immortality" Autumn says, Elena looks to me and Autumn shocked "and no, Galen will not give it to your boyfriends"

"There's a cure for immortality out there!" She exclaims looking around "It needs to be shared and"

"There's only one dose" she stops her ranting to look at me "You want to tell every vampire go ahead, but know it'll be a blood bath. How many innocents will die for that cure?" Esther hypothesized that once an Original dies every vampire from that line dies with them. I haven't told Autumn since it'll devastate her learning her vampire friends will die.

"Your blood" Esther asks

"For the cure" she looks at me with her head held high "I'll only do it for the cure and for you Autumn to make more of it, I know you can"

Autumn however created vines keeping Elena in place, Elena struggles and Esther went over as Autumn removed one of Elena's gloves to cut Elena's palm. The blood drips into the cup and Elena complains while Esther walked away.

Autumn and I walk away from Elena who screams, when the vines are gone Elena falls to the floor grabbing her hand. Autumn and I leave the room to run back into Demetri who looks between us both "Hello again" Demetri greets "you don't seem to be so angry given what happened"

Furrowing my brows looking between them both "What are you talking about?"

Autumn looks at me and pressed her lips together "I thought he was you, I'm so sorry" she motions to Demetri who began to walk away "we had sex"
