Silas and I finish up and meet Damon and Elena downstairs and of course, Stefan and Qetsiyah are there sitting next to each other. I can't help but scoff and roll my eyes as I passed them. Silas kind of chuckles and lightly squeezes my hand. Of course, we have to sit on the same couch they are but there is enough room to separate us. I decide to skip the award silence and get right to it.
"We were called here, I think it's about time to discuss what's happening," I state
"Well like we said... there have been murders stringing between here and the Whitmore campus. They aren't normal murders and Bonnie says it might be witch killings, but she's not sure." Damon states
"She's not sure, you called me here, away from my child, for a not sure?"
"Katherine... we wouldn't have called you if we didn't need your help. After all, you are the strongest out of all of us." Elena sentiments
"Qetsiyah's a witch, why don't you use her help?" I nod my head to the side
"I'm not powerful enough. You have the speed, agility, and strength of a vampire AND the magic of a witch. That makes you, the strongest." Q adds in
"Okay, fine. But the sooner we figure this out, the sooner I can go home to my daughters."
"So I take it you won't be coming back to Mystic Falls?" Stefan asks
I just ignore his question and keep the convo moving. "So who's at the campus there?"
"Caroline, Bonnie, and I. We thought we could keep an eye out there and the rest of you guys here."
"What led Bonnie to believe a witch is committing these murders?" Silas finally chimes in
"She senses the magic whenever Liz takes her to crime scenes, but that's about it. But she says something different is about this magic."
"What Damon means by that is that Bonnie said the energy, vibe, and power are different. She says it's almost like each time he or she uses it, it fades away. And when she means fade away by it's leaving their body. But it seems with each murder the magic is there, and then it fades away."
"It's called a siphoner. They can only use magic they steal from others, but where he's getting it... we don't know." Qetisyah gives an actual, quick to point, answer
I look over to her and smile. "Thank you, Qetsiyah, for getting to the point. Come on people, how many people has this person killed? I thought y'all would have figured this out by the time we got here."
"We're sorry, we just thought you would have more insight, you're the oldest among us who hasn't been stone, imprisoned in a tomb, or dead for the past two thousand years. We'd figure you'd have seen this."
"Well lucky for you, I know what a siphoner is. I also know what they can become, so we have to be careful of what we do and how we handle this." I add
"What can they become?" Elena asks
I inhale and exhale a large breath. "Something stronger than what we've seen, something stronger than a hybrid, than an original. Something deadly." I answer
After a few minutes of conversation, we all decide to break up and go our separate ways. If we're gonna find this person before they annihilate a whole town. The question is... why the hell is he hitting the Whitmore campus? Is there something there that he needs, someone there he wants to find? So many questions, so little question. I'm broken out of my thoughts when Stefan taps on my shoulder.
"You ignored me earlier. Are you really not coming back to Mystic Falls?"
"I didn't ignore you, we just had something more important to discuss." I snap
"Well now we don't, so why don't you answer my question?"
"I'm not sure! Okay? I love what I and Silas have over in Bulgaria, I was happy. But the moment I entered this house... I'm no longer happy." I state
"It's because of me and Qetsiyah, isn't it?"
"As I said earlier, I'm happy for you and I'll be civil with Qetsiyah, but it doesn't change the fact that she tried to kill me and my child. So I'm sorry if I don't want to walk into every room in this house and see you guys holding hands or making out, acting as nothing happened."
Before Stefan can say anything else, both Silas and Qetsiyah walk into the room. Qetsiyah kind of has a sad look on her face.
"I threatened you and your child, you shouldn't take it out on Stefan." She says
"I'm not taking it out on him, I just think three months after everything happened is a little too early to get back together. ESPECIALLY since you threatened Ava, a child."
"And for that, I'm truly sorry. This might be too soon, but let's get lunch. You can set some boundaries and I would gladly follow them. Anything to do so that you forgive me." Qetsiyah suggests
I think about this for a second. I could have her do things for me or stay completely away from me. I could make her break up with Stefan, so many options.
"Qetsiyah... that would be too easy." I smirk
"What does the mean?" She asks
"How does this sound? You do whatever I say when I say it and maybe I'll think about it."
No one says anything and I guess that's from the statement I mad swirling around in their minds.
"She's not doing that, Katherine." Stefan cuts in
"I don't remember asking you, Stefan. But hey, I guess Qetsiyah can just leave Mystic Falls, you and never come back..."
I pause and wait. All three of them just stare at me with faces of confusion and surprise and I'm just saying, I feel a sense of happiness about it.
"I'll do it. I will do anything you say." She finally answers
I turn to her and smile. "Good, we can start with lunch tomorrow."
