Endless Souls

Plans

It's a secret in my head. I'm not going along with it, I'm going along with mine. So really, I don't need to be here watching my parents and my grandparents, my cousins, Aunts and Uncles plan for something that's not going to happen. I convinced Liv not to do the spell but to pretend she did. I pull myself up and into the kitchen. Mom follows me and I smile at her.

"You must be under some deep pressure. Just know that after this is all over, you can have a whole eternity to find love, travel of you want."

"I know Mom. And I'll be fine. There'll be no problems. Liv did the spell and I'll survive."

"It's okay to be scared, Elizabeth."

"I'm not scared. Everything will go as planned."

"Okay. Do you want to get some rest?"

"No, I'm okay."

"Okay honey." She smiles at me.

"Wait here." She goes upstairs and I sit on the counter and wait.

"I got this 3 months ago." She puts a box on my lap, wrapped in an ocean blue. I unwrap it and open the box.

I haven't mentioned this, but because I'm a hybrid, I love wolves. In my lap is a box with a necklace of a black glass wolf, about the size of 1/4 of my palm, and it's sitting and howling. I smile and tears fill my eyes.

"Mom, it's beautiful."

"You like it?"

"I love it." I wrap my arms around her and she helps me put it on. I pull my long raven hair out of the chain and she smiles at me.

"Thank you." Dad comes in the kitchen and sets another box in my hand.

"Your mom and I had the same idea." In the second box is a bracelet like the wolf necklace, but it looks older.

"That was your grandmother's. My mother's. She had a thing for wolves too."

"Thank you Daddy." He puts it on my left wrist and I smile.

"I wish you both could've met my Mom." I smile and Dad kisses my head.

"We love you Elizabeth. And we're all gonna be here for you." They wrap me in a hug and I smile at them.

"Let's get back to planning." We all go back into the living room and Grandpa and Uncle Klaus are looking over a map of Mystic Falls.

"On December 15th we should take her to the Mikelson Manor. She'll stay with me, you, and Damien. We can't take any chances of you or Damian backing out, Ember." She nods reluctantly.

"I want all of you to get out of Mystic Falls before I start the spell. I want all of you away from the travelers. I'll even go for you staying just right outside the boundaries."

"Okay. Let's do it."

"Thank you." I go up to the map."

"So I've been spying on the Travelers. They have 3 spots where they used Grandma and Grandpa's blood to do a spell. Here, at the old Lockwood cellar, here, at Mystic High, and here at the edge of the woods by the Young farm. I was studying it on the map on my phone, and I noticed that it forms a triangle. I was looking in one of Liv's grimoires and I found this. It's an expression triangle. They sacrificed me basically. Here, at the Lockwood cellar they sacrificed 12 werewolves. Here, at the young farm they sacrificed 12 vampires. Mystic High, they sacrificed 12 witches. I was looking even harder and I realized they're gonna need somewhere to sacrifice me. They're gonna channel the power of the 3 sacrifices and they're supposed to sacrifice me in the middle of the triangle which in this case is in the town square. That's where they're gonna perform the spell to destroy all spirit magic. Reading further, Quetsiya found a way to bind the magic in any reincarnation of the being so when I step inside the boundaries of the triangle, I don't loose any of my powers. I'll sneak in through the back, then I'll start the spell. The elements go a little haywire, so there might be lightning and storms. You need to stay out of Mystic Falls."

"That's good information."

"I needed to know it, I'm the one doing the damn spell."

"Okay. We have a plan. Let's get ready to kill some Travelers."
