Kai Parker had got away.

Lizzie Saltzman was dead.

Alaric couldn't breath, it hurt so much, coddling his dead child's body as Josie cried in pain next to him loudly. It was the worst feeling in the world. And Lizzie looked so peaceful, pale, and gone from this world.

Hope Mikaelson stumbled out of the school in transition to be a vampire aka the third part of her tribrid side, "Doctor Saltzman?"

Alaric looked up his face tear stained, "Hope..."

Hope looked at Lizzie, she didn't hear a heart beat, "oh my god," she stumbled over falling to her knees cutting her arm as she tries to feed Lizzie her blood, "its not working- why isn't it working?"

Josie just cried harder not answering as Alaric felt more tears fall down his face, "Kai Parker came back, he," he choked a sob, "he snapped her neck in front of us. She's gone, Hope, she's gone."

Hope just shook her head looking at Lizzie before feeling her own tears starting to fall...

All of a sudden Lizzie shot up gasping for air making everyone jump!


"Look at me," Alaric told his undead child.

Lizzie did as she was told, Alaric examined her face, all signs so far pointed to her being in transition to being a vampire. It seemed her and Hope both shared that right now.

"What happened?" Lizzie asked.

"Don't you remember?" Josie asked her from behind her dad.

The blonde shook her head, "it's really fuzzy..."

"You let Kai Parker out of the prison world he was trapped in," Alaric told her, a spark in her eyes as she remembered that and she remembered...

"He fed me his blood," Lizzie said making them look at her, "he was talking to me about the Merge and how the other Witches wouldnt want to take a chance on me winning it and then he said he could help and then he forced me to drink his blood."

Lizzie blinked her memory was still horrible but she remembered getting back here with Kai and the soldiers trying to shoot us but Kai murdering them almost immediately... She remembered him doing exactly what Hope said he'd do; take out the Triad Soldiers. Then he... He grabbed her neck telling her that "daddy's home."

"Did Kai kill me?" Lizzie asked.

Both Alaric and Josie we're quiet as they stared at her with pity in their eyes. Lizzie felt everything in her just fall apart, Kai killed her. Kai turned her. Oh god. Oh my god.

"I'm a Vampire?" Lizzie asked her voice rising.

"You are in transition," Hope answered as she walked in, "so am I and I'm going to complete mine soon, if you want you can join me so your not alone."

Lizzie just shook her head tears falling, "what? What is it like being a vampire? I'll no longer be a Witch?!"

Alaric grabbed her trying to calm her, "Elizabeth, breath, you are a Siphoner so once you complete the transition, you will then have your own endless supply of magic from your vampirism," Alaric explained, "you will be like Kai; a Heretic."

"A... Heretic?" Lizzie asked her eyes wide, "I-I dont think I want this."

Josie stepped up, "we won't have to do the merge now, so nothing is in the way of our future, we can grow up together."

"Future..."

Rae.

She promised her a future with her but then she called her to tell her goodbye if she dies.

"Oh my god, Rae, I called her and said goodbye..." Lizzie realized, "I practically told her that her father wasnt crazy and we're supernatural!"

Alaric's eyes widened, "you did what?!"

"Let's not freak right now," Hope interrupted, "we have business, Lizzie, do you want to turn?"

Lizzie stared at her, she promised Rae a future, she had her dad to think about, her sister, and her mom. So many people she couldn't just leave behind.

"I want to turn."


Hope sat with Lizzie in her and Josie's rooms on Lizzie's bed, they were given blood bags, Hope put them in glasses to make it easier although Lizzie was not taking this well.

"You can do this," Hope told her, "we both can."

"How?" Lizzie turned to her, "I'll be a Vampire- no, a Heretic! Everything will be heightened, so those episodes will be even worse and- and-"

"We'll get through this," Hope grabbed her hand, "I'll be here for you if you'll be here for me, promise?"

Lizzie took a deep breath, "promise..."

As Hope took a drink of the blood, immediately veins grew under her eyes as she drank more of it.

Lizzie looked at the glass, she took a deep breath, Heretic life here I come to own you, she took a sip of it.

It was disgusting but then she drank more and it got better. She drank more and more until it was all gone. Lizzie felt the veins grow and suddenly she felt fangs in grow into teeth!

A Few Days Later

The Heretic life was not easy for Lizzie, she was trying to get better but she was starving for human blood and all they had was animal blood. The diet was killing her. And everyone could see it. It was nice to have an endless supply of magic so she didn't have to siphon things to do anything. But the hunger was too much.

Which was why she hasn't called Rae yet. How can she? She just feared hurting her. Lizzie loved her, if she hurt her, she would never forgive herself.

As she sat in class trying to focus when she felt that familiar tug...

Lizzie stood up, the teacher asked her what she was doing but she ignored her and raced out of the classroom.

As she came outside she saw her dad and Hope standing there with nonother than Rae Fell.

Rae glared at them, "I know what you all are! Supernaturals; Witches, Werewolves, Vampires! My father knew it and he's gone! But I don't care about that, what your going to do is; tell me what the hell happened to my girlfriend?!"

Alaric and Hope stared at her, she called them out, a human girl. All she needed to have done is be compelled but is that right?

"She's-"

"Right here," Lizzie spoke up as she walked up Rae stared at her like she had seen a ghost, "I'm right here, Rae."
