"When we're young, we're taught the distinction between a hero and a villain, good and evil, a savior and a lost cause. But what if the only real difference is just who's telling the story? My name is Khalia Mikaelson. I come from a long line of the villains in the tales you've heard about vampires, werewolves, witches and everything in between. The school behind these gates protects the secrets of people like me. And tonight, under the light of the full moon, we will be opening our doors to someone new."

I'm sitting on the ground beside the gate drawing a full moon with my parents, mine, and my sisters wolf forms underneath it when my sister Hope walks up to me. "Lia, we gotta go, saving a werewolf." I pack up the art stuff, leaving the sketch book open so the pastels don't mess up. Hope looks down at it as we're walking towards the school. "Missing them again?" Hope asked "Never stopped. Just hits harder tonight. Tell Dr. S, I'm gonna run this to our room and I'll be back down." I say "Alright but hurry up so we don't lose the wolf." Hope said

-time skip-

We pull up outside the church and Hope and I get out of the car. Walking towards the steps, I see a guy sitting on the steps that I never thought I'd see again. "Landon." Hope said "Hope?" Landon asked "I so feel the love here." I say sarcastically making Landon look at me. "Hey, Alia." Landon said and I start feeling a pull to someone inside. "Is Rafael in there?" I ask and he nods. "You three know each other?" Dr. S asked "Long story." Hope said and then we hear yelling and glass shattering. "Dr. S." I say "Yeah, I'm on it." He walks up to the doors and tries to open them. "Doors are locked." Dr. S said looking back at me and I nod. "Dissera Portus!" I chant making the door blow open. "You're gonna want to stay out here, Landon, trust me." I say before walking inside. When we get inside, I see the priest doing an exorcism on Rafi making me scoff. "Shut down the exorcist, would you?" Dr. S asked "Gladly. Silencio." I chant and a piece of skin grows over his mouth. Rafael starts screaming as his bones start breaking. "Ad somnum." I chant knocking the priest and their adoptive parents out. "Help me." His nails start growing as Hope and Dr. S start drilling the chains into the floor. "Alia, what's happening?" Rafael asked "My god." Landon said from behind me and I turn towards him.

"I thought I told you to stay the fuck out outside!" I snap yelling at him and I felt my eyes flicker. "Khalia focus." Dr. S said and I turn back towards Rafael. "Rafi, look at me." He doesn't and I grab his face making him look at me. His eyes are glowing amber yellow. "Don't fight the pain. I know it hurts but don't fight it. Embrace it and the transformation won't take as long." I say letting go of his face. "Khalia here." Dr. S said handing me the collar for Rafi's wolf form. "I got you. I got you." I put the collar on Rafi right before he fully transformed. Dr. S goes to grab me to pull me back but Rafi growls at him moving towards him. "I don't think he wants me to move." I say and Rafi in wolf form huffs and shakes his head. I sit down beside him and he lays his head on my lap. "Yeah I would say so." Hope said and Rafi in wolf form nudges my hand with his nose and I put my hand on his head petting him.
