Alaric, Josie, Monica and Hope were walking down the main hallway in search of the gargoyle while Josie was still holding the axe she took from Alaric, while Alaric has since found his own weapon, which he has clutched in his right hand.
The loud stomping noise started to pick up again behind Monica, who immediately sensed the creature, turned to face it as it growled at her and spread its wings. Josie, Hope and Alaric all turned around a moment later upon hearing the grinding stone sound it made whenever the gargoyle moved.
The gargoyle leapt into the air and used its wings to glide over the staircase and down on the floor directly facing them, passing Monica and Hope. The pair were barely able to dodge the gargoyle when it attempted to stab them with the mysterious knife but Hope fell flat on her back on the floor in the process.
"Cmon Mikealson." Monica ordered, offering the tribrid a hand, Hope took it and scrambled to get back onto her feet. The gargoyle prepared to attempt to stab the girls a second time, causing Alaric to rush forward toward the creature. Horrified, Josie cried out to stop her dad from putting himself in danger. "No, Dad!"
Alaric shoved himself between the gargoyle and the girls, gasping as the creature attempted to stab him in the heart with the mysterious knife. "No!" Alaric called out, as the gargoyle, stopped itself when it was just inches away from stabbing the knife into Alaric's chest.
Alaric let out a relieved sigh, and the gargoyle looked confused as its red eyes widened in surprise. The two stared at each other for a long moment as the gargoyle processed this situation, only to be interrupted by Josie, who appeared behind the gargoyle and swung her axe at it, breaking off a large piece of its left wing.
The gargoyle turned to face Josie, raising the knife in preparation to stab her, only for Alaric to hack at its wings with his own axe. This broke off another piece of its wing, but just as it is about to lunge toward the two Saltzmans, Hope spread out her arms and started to cast a spell.
"Fluctus impulsa!"
The knife flew out of the gargoyle's hand and landed near the staircase, which Monica went after, using her vampire speed. Hope, realising she couldn't do the spell alone, held out her hand for Josie to take. "Josie, help me!"
"How?"
"Just repeat after me."
Josie rushed over to Hope and they grabbed eachother's hands, causing them to glow red as Josie siphoned magic from Hope. Speaking simultaneously the witches said, "Fluctus impulsa. Fluctus impulsa. Fluctus impulsa."
The spell seemed to momentarily immobilize the gargoyle, who spread its own arms and stared at the ceiling. When the creature managed to break free just enough to take a single step toward them, the girls focused their energy even more into the spell.
