I sighed as I looked at the house in front of me. I silently walked up to the door and found myself knocking on it.
The door opened rather well immediately and I faced Damon Salvatore.
I looked at him, not knowing what to say.
Damon looked shocked, but he still opened his mouth, “long time no see, Marilyn.”
I smiled. After all those years, his voice was still the same. Just as his looks.
“I can say the same thing, Damon.” I said as I walked into the huge house.
I saw Stefan on the couch, so I dropped my suitcases and ran to him. I let myself fall onto the couch next to him.
He looked at me, and smiled right after, “Marilyn!”
I gave him a kiss on his cheek, “I missed you so much!”
“I missed you too, little sister.”
Those words still gave me goose bumps. Little sister. After all those years I survived on my own, I’m still their sister. Their annoying little sister, Marilyn Salvatore.
Ari and Soren's adventures continue as Soren struggles with his new vampiric urges and a coven of witches attempts to recruit Ari for their own ends.
*****
As dark dreams plague Soren, Ari finds his new abilities difficult to control. Something is awakening within him, and as his power grows, he attracts the attention of a group of witches who call themselves the Hecataeon. They believe Ari is an emanation of the goddess Hecate - a physical manifestation of her power - and they want that power for themselves. With their relationship facing challenges from within, Ari and Soren must find a way to unite their strengths before external forces tear them apart.
