Chapter 20

They'd packed their things quickly and drove in the convertible with the top down. It was a nice day, not that they felt it. Kriss and Finn had almost reached the town border when they were called back by Alaric Saltzman. They arrived at the Salvatore house to see him at the front door with Vera and Stefan. Stefan took Vera's bag and began walking her into the house. "This has to be an emergency because we can't waste any time," Finn said as he got out of the passenger side.

"I know. Vera told me about what happened. You'll get her back," Alaric said reassuringly. Kriss supposed he couldn't imagine the same thing happening to one of his children. "I just wanted to let you know that this threat is still out there and when you find her, we would love it if you came back here."

"Thank you, Mr. Saltzman."

"Stefan and Caroline are going to help me open a school here. For kids like ours. And Vera. And Hope. Haydee is welcome. And so are you, Kriss, if you'd be open to teaching," Alaric said and Kriss nodded. It was a thought. Teaching magic for the rest of her immortal life.

"We'll think about it. No decisions can be made until Haydee is safely back home," Kriss told him and he nodded.

"Of course. Safe travels," he held out his hand and Krissette pulled him into a hug. He cleared his throat as she let him go. Finn, however, accepted the handshake before getting back into the car and heading out of town again.

"That was nice of him," Kriss said as they were driving on the open road. So much was running through her head. Five years ago she was just a freak of nature and now she was something completely different.

They drove for a while and Kriss grabbed Finn's right hand. "So where will everyone else go?" Kriss asked him. He looked to the road but answered her.

"The main family will return to New Orleans and the compound. Freya will try to smooth things over with the witches. Hayley will do the same with the wolves and Elijah with the vampires. All while Niklaus pretends he is King and kills everyone who tells him differently."

"I think I'll miss Kol and Davina most of all."

"Me too, interesting enough. But they promised to look for Haydee during their travels. And Kol told me they'll be back."

"When Haydee's back," she said matter of factly.

"Yes. We will be looking for her here and Bex and Marcellus are headed to Europe. You know how much Haydee loves Paris and if she makes it there, they will drag her back kicking and screaming."

"I wish we didn't have to. But we have to find her.

"We will. Soon."

"I know. Because we have magic and the willpower of dozens of people."

"And each other."

"Yes. Each other." Kriss removed her hand from his and caressed his cheek.

Haydee and Anders had been driving for hours now and she found herself falling asleep in the darkness. By the time the sun was rising, she had woken up for the second time. She could feel him looking at her and it made her want to both blush and roll her eyes. Haydee yawned and looked out the window to see a highway sign. It passed quickly but she could've sworn it said they were a couple hundred miles out of the state of New York. Haydee looked over and Anders was still looking at her.

"Shouldn't you be watching the road?" She yawned again and stretched.

"I'm a vampire. I have quick reflexes."
