       Hope Mikaelson, my uncle slash headmaster Alaric Saltzman and I were heading to a church in Atlanta, after some werewolf, we screeched to a stop. We all got out quickly, Ric was carrying a loaded crossbow and chains, "Landon..." I say confused and shocked

"Hope? Liv?" Landon asked us confused

Ric frowned "You three know each other?" and Hope muttered "long story..."

Our conversation was interrupted by the sound of glass breaking and a boy screaming in agony. Landon, whose music was drowning out the sounds of the exorcism inside until now, looks alarmed and turns toward the door

"Dr. Saltzman..." Hope started, "Yeah, I'm on it" Ric moves his gear into one hand so he can open the door to the church with the other, but he quickly realizes that they're chained shut

"Doors are locked" Ric told us, I hold my hands in the air and yanks them away from each other "Dissera portus!" the doors fly open as the chains holding them closed break into a half-dozen pieces

"You're gonna want to stay out here, Landon. Trust me" Hope told him as we ran in, Despite Hope's warning, Landon follows us as we walk toward the sacristy where the werewolf boy, who has been fighting the pain of his transformation, is laying on all fours on the floor as the priest continues to shout at him in Latin

"Maledicte diabolo! Et impius discedite!" The Priest said in Latin. Ric, ready for a fight, rolls his eyes before calling out to Hope

"Shut down the exorcist, would you?" Ric said to Hope, "Silencio!" A patch of skin appears that covers Father Pietro's mouth and prevents him from speaking. He reaches up and grabs his throat as though he's choking until I cast the next spell

"Ad somnum!" I said making the priest, Hector, and Maria all suddenly fall asleep and fall onto the floor. Rafael, who is on his hands and knees with his face against the wooden floor, looks at the us desperately

"Please... help me... What's happening...?" Rafael asked us, as his bones start to crack and reform once again as his transformation fully gets underway, Landon, still in disbelief about everything he's seen thus far, looks horrified

"Hey, it's Rafael right? I'm Olivia, you'll be okay, I promise" as I said this I nodded to Hope and Ric, his claws make deep scratches in the wood floor just as Ric quickly fastens a reinforced collar around his neck

"Easy does it, easy does it..." By the time we finished, Rafael has fully transformed into a large wolf with black and dark brown fur and glowing gold eyes. He snarls at us while Landon looks at him with a terrified expression. Hope and I look sympathetically at Rafael, remembering our first painful transformation.

     Ric, Hope, Landon and I were in Ric's SUV back in Virginia, with a passed out Rafael next to me, his head on my shoulder, we sat in awkward silence. After a moment, Ric finally speaks up, "How do you two know each him?"
