Little Witch

The New Deal

I groaned as I heard whispers and I leaned up looking around. "You snore in your sleep." Stefan says making me jump, "Jesus." I mumbled, "Nope its me." He says sarcastically. "What do you want? and why am I here?" I asked looking around the abandoned house. "Relax, I just need your help." He says and I narrow my eyes at him, "You saved Klaus's life, why should I help you?" I asked, "Let me fill you in on a little secret about Klaus. He kept his family with him at all times- daggered. Stored in coffins. And now I have them, and I need you to help keep them hidden."

"Are you out of your mind? You're just gonna make him angrier. My brother is now one of his mindless slaves, he could kill him." I snapped, "His family is his one weakness. As long as I have that, I can ruin him." Stefan says and I sigh, "I don't have enough power to hide four originals!" I lied, "You're a witch. You hate Klaus. I know you can figure something out. I bought you someone who can help you" He tells me and I see Bonnie behind him.

As the day went on Bonnie Left to go look through the grimoires while I looked through mine and Celia's. I stood there and held my hand up palm out as I chanted in Latin, "Its working" Uncle Stefan said and I jumped turning around. I turned back around and it was hidden. We herd voices and He looked at me "Stay hidden" He said and I nodded. After Elena left I was gonna come out until Damon's voice sounded. "I want you to get it through your head. Stop saving me!!"

It was then Silent before "Do you know what I can't figure out? Why save me? Was it brotherly love, guilty conscience? Is the switch on, is the switch off?" Damon asked, "You have somewhere you need to be Damon?" Stefan asked, "Reflection. That's not gonna work on me! I invented that."

"We're done. Can't you just go away?" Stefan asked, "Not until you told me why you saved me. You owe me that." Damon snapped, "I don't owe you anything." Stefan tells him, "Fine. Next question. Why did you steal the coffins?" Damon asked, "Because Klaus's family is one weakness I can use against him." Stefan says, and Damon then exploded, "Use against him to do what? You're not gonna kill him, you know how I know? 'Cause there was only one way to kill him and you blew that to save me."

I groaned and yelled, "If you're going to argue do it quieter" I then looked back down as they continued to argue. "What spell can I use?" I asked as my grimoire slid away from me and the pages flipped before sliding back, before I looked down Bonnie walked in.

I stood up and followed her to the locked coffin. "This is the one I dreamt about." She says and tried to open it, "Don't bother. It won't open." I tell her and she turned to me, "What do you mean- is it locked?" She asked, "Nope. Just won't open. Stefan and I've tried everything. Blow torches. Crowbar. Can't even scratch the finish." I tell her. "I think it's closed with a spell."

"Meaning whatever is in there, should probably stay in there." Stefan says and we both turn to him as he walked in, "You said you wanted to make him suffer. The witches led me here for a reason.
I think whatever is inside this coffin is our answer." Bonnie told him and I agreed.

"Wait what happened?" I asked as I held my phone to my ear as I skimmed the page my grimoire was on. "Tyler was sitting in our kitchen and next thing we knew after he left, Jeremy left his ring on the table, and we find him outside standing in the road, as a car almost hit him." Elena explained, "Oh my god, is he okay?" I asked, "He's alright, but Alaric got hit instead. He had his ring on." Elena told me and I groaned, "And you're absolutely positive, Tyler compelled him?" I asked hesitant, "I don't want to say it Aaliyah, but he might of."

We said our goodbyes, and I walked outside before going into the forest. I dialed my brother's number and he answered on the fourth ring. "Hey sis." he says cheery, "Did you, or did you not compel Jeremy Gilbert to stand in the middle of the road." I snapped, and he was silent. "Tyler." I whined, "It's what Klaus wanted Ali." he tells me and I hang up sighing before texting Elena.

'Slip everyone vervain, now.'

I stormed back in the house and grabbed my grimoire.

My phone buzzed and I grabbed it seeing Damon calling me. "Hey." I say and he just says, "Aaliyah listen to me, I need you to stay there no matter what okay? Promise me." I scrunched my face up, "Why D, whats going on?" I asked, "Promise me Aaliyah." He says sternly, "I promise why?" I tell him, "You're one of the key players in all of this, and we can't let them get to you alright? So, stay at the house and keep playing witch." He warned me, "Okay, I'll stay here. Just.. watch over my mom please?" I ask, "I will."

"and Damon?" I asked, "will you bring me some stuff?"
