The Originals

28

We were at the border of New Orleans when our car was driven off the road, and flipped in the forest. It kept flipping over and over, glass going everywhere, us getting cuts and tree branches going through the broken windows.

When the car stopped, we were upside down and all began coughing, and trying to move. I undid my seatbelt, falling onto the ceiling even more groaning as I did so, and Stefan doing the same.

I looked at Marcel and saw that he wasn't moving. Slowly, I climbed out of my seat and went to feel for a pulse. When I didn't get one, I felt that his neck was broken and there was a big chunk of a branch in his neck.

I slowly took it out, as Stefan kicked a door open. We slowly got another door open and Marcel out carefully. When I got out, I couldn't breathe and crawled before laying on my back, coughing.

Stefan fell after me, and we breathed heavily, trying to calm down. When we did, we slowly stood up and put Marcel's arms around our shoulders, carrying to the compound.

When we got there, we collapsed to the floor, dropping Marcel. We were so weak from the crash and the lack of blood.

Someone heard us and soon enough, I felt arms on my back, as I was helped up. I leant into the person as Stefan was also helped and placed on the couch.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Klaus grabbing Marcel and carrying him to an empty chair. I was sat next to Stefan, falling onto him out of exhaustion.

We were handed blood bags immediately, which made us jump up and drink them right away. From a distance, I heard a heartbeat, making my fangs come out and before I knew it, I was no longer in the compound, but in the streets, grabbing a human and dragging him into an alley.

After compelling him, I sunk my fangs into his neck, draining him. When I finished, I dropped him to the ground and went to move to another when I was thrown into a wall.

I groaned, standing and saw Stefan standing-more like hovering over his knees catching his breath-looking surprised at me.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" He asked as I looked around.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't stop myself. The temptation took over," I said dropping next to the body. "I can't believe I did that. I-I don't know what to do."

"Hey, it's okay. We just need some more blood bags, then we can go figure out who's doing this."

"S-Stefan, I just k-killed someone. They had a future. What the hell am i supposed to do?"

"We'll bury the body, then go back to the others, okay?" He said walking next to me.

I nodded and we went to the bayou, burying the body. We raced back to the compound quickly, and I saw Elijah clearer this time.

I rushed into his arms, not caring that I was covered in blood. He instantly wrapped his arms around me and staid like that for a minute or two until we all heard a heart beating.

Stefan and I looked at each other panicking for a second, then raced into an empty room. We paced waiting for the human to leave, which took a while so Elijah and Rebekah brought us more blood bags.

"What the bloody hell happened?" Rebekah demanded.

"It's a long story. But we really need your help, it's important," Stefan said throwing the now empty bag to the ground.

"We need your help first-"

"Elijah, no," I interrupted. "Whoever attacked us in Mystic Falls, is a witch. They jumped from body to body. Where's Davina?"

"Jessica, she might not be able to help-"

"Bekah, Davina and her friend found me when I was in the middle of nowhere. Now where is she?"

"Upstairs," Elijah said causing me to race up there.

When I did, Stefan was right behind me and everyone looked up at us in shock. I don't blame them though. The two of us are covered in so much blood, it's practically our skin. I haven't even been able to look at Marcel since we came back.

Jackson ran up to me, and pulled me into a tight hug. Hayley, Hope and Josh were next. When we pulled away, I walk towards Davina who gave me a giant hug with Kaleb right beside her.

We pulled away and Stefan and I got straight to business. As we explaining what was happening, the Mikaelson bunch came upstairs, Klaus carrying Marcel in and laying him on the floor, while Elijah and Rebekah brought in some random woman with them.

"You need to find Esther," I said sitting on the couch with Stefan behind me. "She has to be behind this."

"How do we know it's her?" The woman asked.

"I'm sorry, but who are you?" Stefan asked.

"Freya Mikaelson. The oldest of my family," she explained.

I looked at her in shock, my jaw dropping slightly. As I looked at Stefan, he was surprised as Klaus looked as if he didn't believe her.

"Okay, but why wouldn't it be her? She's been after me since I met her family," I said moving past what she announced.

"That doesn't mean it's her. It could be another witch that was drawing you out from New Orleans. And who has a problem with people in Mystic Falls."

"Kol," Stefan whispered.

"What?" I asked. "Stefan, Kol is locked away in a weird witch plane. I've been trying to get him out. How could it possibly be him?"

"Well, my mother has possessed another witch body," Elijah began. "Perhaps he did the same."

"He didn't," Kaleb said. "Well he did, but he's not in Mystic Falls."

"I'm sorry, boy, but how could you possibly know that?" Klaus asked.

"Because brother, I've been helping you this entire time," he revealed.

I smiled and gave him a hug, happy and relieved to know that he's safe. We pulled away and his siblings all gave him a hug.

"Then who could it be?" Stefan asked.

"Finn, it must be him," Kol answered. "Mother said something about bringing us back. Finn must have tagged a lot with the two of us."

"That explains so much. He's gone after every single one of my friends. We all went after him," Stefan thought out. "How do we kill him?"

"We will not be killing my idiotic brother," Klaus said.

"He's taken over bodies. My friends bodies to be exact. He took Bonnie, Elena, and Caroline. Then the people he took over, they're missing now! Why wouldn't we kill him?" Stefan demanded standing.

"Stefan, calm down," I said placing a hand on his arm. "If he's constantly switching bodies, then he can't necessarily die. The first thing we do is find everyone."

"Then worry about Finn," Rebekah finished.
