The New Borns

No One Mourns the Wicked

Episode Two

Hazel walks down the street to her car. She was returning from dinner with Gretchen, who had to leave early because of choir practice.

It seemed like Salsburg was dead, and Hazel was the only one living. Well, hypothetically speaking. She then saw a familiar face standing in front of her car.

"Alice?" Hazel was confused.

Then she felt someone grab her head. They were violent, but even more so when they snapped her neck and she blacked out.

Hazel woke up tied to a chair. She notice a tube that ran into her flesh. She followed the tube with her eye and saw that it led to an IV of Hawthorne. A vampires weakness.

In the room were two people: a young male and female. She observed them closely.

The boy had dark tan skin and golden eyes. His black hair seemed to make the eyes more prominent. He was muscular and tall, like a gladiator. Overall, he was intimidating. This was Taven.

The girl had pale white skin. Eyes of golden armour like Taven's. Her hair was the brown of tree bark. This was his sister, Azalea.

"Where am I? " Hazel asked.

"The Crypt." Taven answered.

Azalea turned around and smiled at Hazel. It was disturbing. She walked over and began to brush Hazel's hair.

"It's about time you woke up. You've been out for a long time." Said Azalea.

"What the hell are you doing to me? "

"Brushing your hair of course." Azalea smiled.

"But why? "

"She doesn't know." Smirked Taven.

"Know what? Hello?! " Hazel panicked.

"Tonight is a big night, Hazel. Tonight we sacrifice you." Azalea giggled.

Alice walked into a store at the mall and looked at the clothes. She would make faces at the prices.

"Are you serious? Did the virgin Mary wear this? Why is it so damn expensive?! "

She looked around, then shoved the shirt in her purse. She turned around and saw Godrick staring at her.

"Oh shit! Ha, you nearly gave me a heart attack." Laughed Alice.

"Nearly? Damn, so close." Godrick said.

"What brings you into a women's shop? " Alice was dumbfounded.

"You." He put a rag over her face and she fainted.

‡‡

"Where are the others? " Asked Alice, who was chained to a chair.

"Coming. " Godrick was getting annoyed with her.

Lillith, Roak, Gretchen, Syndrick, Michael, and even Hazel's dad walked into the room. The circle around her.

"This is Alicianna, or Alice, Kasidiar. The girl who killed your sister and daughter." Lillith told Bucky.

"Hey, I did you a favor. Doranne was an annoyed twit. And your daughter is better off as a vampire." Alice defended herself.

Roak hands Buck a sharp wooden stake. He seemed to move it around his hands, knowing what it was meant for.

"Where is my daughter? " Buck demanded.

"Toronto.... No, wait, Rio...... No, Athens..... Wait, Sydney." Alice toyed with them.

Buck took the stake and jabbed it into her leg. She began to scream and cry of pain, something they'd never seen her do before. Blood spewed out and shot them in the face.

"Tell! " Buck grew impatient.

"I don't...... Fine, they're in the Crypt, okay? Don't hurt me anymore." She whined.

"The Crypt? " Gretchen was confused.

"It's in the middle of a forest in the middle of nowhere. I don't remember how to get there by heart. " Alice explained.

"Wht do they have her? " Godrick asked her.

"Because they are going to sacrifice her. Something about killing a hybrid to save the world. Harness her blood and use the pureness. Blah, blah, blah." Alice explained.

A flash left the room. Godrick was on the way to rescue his girlfriend from death once again.

They lay Hazel in the middle of a pentagram. She is too weak to even dream of moving. She knew that the pentagram was a witch symbol, and the ritual that Taven and Azalea were about to perform was dangerous.

"It's time. The moon is full." Azalea yells to Taven at the other side of the pentagram.

"Hac in hora, invocato a nobis hoc spiritu ut prius in finem." They shout.

The pentagram catches fire around Hazel. The heat seemed to char her skin. It was hotter than any fire she had ever felt, and she was burned in one before.

"I, filia purness vocare aut excipiant, tam pelle et terram ingredi." Chanted Azalea.

"Ego male, quod est verum lamia necessitati mortis." Yelled Taven.

Hazel began to burn. She didn't have the energy to cry, but only to think of the loved ones she would be reunited with. She closed her eyes and smiled. The last tear rolled down here face.

Then the fire stopped.

She opened her eyes and saw Godrick yelling at Taven and Azalea. Then he walked over and carried her away.

She wasn't sure what just happened, but she felt safe in his arms once more. She fell asleep and had dreams of glory.

Lillith prepared a salad for Buck and Michael, the only two left in the Corridor Mansion with her.

It had been decades since the last time she cooked such food, and she found it more difficult than she remembered.

Then there was a ring at the door. She swiftly walked over and opened it. At the door was a box. She brought it inside.

She began to tear it open inside and saw a bloody hand holding a bloody whit rose. She gasped in shock. With it was a note.

Roses are red, violets are blue.

Get ready, I'm coming for you.

-Ezra

He had found her and a new dark force appeared in Salsburg, Virginia.
