It was 12:00 when the city bell of New Orleans rang, at that hour it was said that no ordinary human should come out of their home because the witches would be having a sacrifice to bring back one of their ancestors from the dead and in doing so a body is needed to switch souls...
"My sisters as we all know it's about time we honor our ancestors for the great power they have given us"
Rhea,the leader of the witch stood in front of the coven alter giving her speech to the crowd of witches known as THE SACRED SISTER'S OF THE NIGHT.she continued with her speech and the crowd cheered. "Tonight we are going into the darkness of the night to hunt souls, and whosoever shall be found would be our victims", rhea spoke again making the crowd to cheer even more loudly.
"Mother!!,we have a message" one of the girls from the crowd spoke out,interrupting the whole crowd who were already waiting for a go ahead from rhea…..
"Come my sweet child, what good news do you bring by this lovely hour of the night?" Rhea asked with a welcoming smile on her cheek.
"Mother,Sebastian is back!,and he has hope and the sisters of Michael degon with him" the girl spoke to rhea in her ears...
Rhea wasn't really surprised to know that Sebastian had Michael sisters with him because she had already known something like that was going to happen so she made a weapon that was strong enough to weaken them... "you can leave now little one" she spoke softly, as the little girl slightly nodded and went back to join the crowd.
"Sisters of the night cheer for we now have a perfect host for our sacrifice!!!"
murmurs were clearly heard coming from the crowd as they heard the news rhea had just shared with them,how can we have host we don't know about. "Mother how is it possible to have a host that the sisters don't know about" a voice from the crowd spoke out and the others followed along side "who must this host be!!" They continued to murmur.
"My sister it's for a long time we have been deprived of our freedom to practice magic and we have been shunned by the degon's family but now we have what we need to take back all we have lost once and for all. I present to you Elena and Katherine the sisters of Michael degon!!!" ...…
The whole crowd were silent just as they heard the mention of the Michael sisters, just the name of Michael is enough to stop their beating hearts. Having his family captive was like stealing a cub from a lioness and for sure it wasn't going to end well for them. The crowd were visibly terrified but little did they know that rhea have her own plans...
"Sisters they is nothing to be afraid of, we have a weapon strong enough to hold a degon and with seb we can finally end the reign of the degon's family" as soon as rhea finished talking the crowd were distracted by the sound of chains rattling, turning back they all saw sebastian approaching towards them with a lady on his shoulder and two ladies in chains he was dragging on the floor. The crowd parted as he came closer giving him a free walk way to the altar where rhea was standing…..
Sebastian threw the girls like they weight nothing. He was really indeed strong.
"I have done what you asked of my lady!" Sebastian said kneeling on one knee.
"You have done well my boy" rhea praised as she slightly tapped on his shoulder gesturing him to get up. "You can leave now!"
In no time seb disappeared from sight into the darkness of the night not even the crowd could tell how that happened they were all marveled by the scene that just happened before them.

Elena pov :
I woke up as soon as I felt something was pulled out of my chest "urrg" it really hurts I tried to adjust my sight because it was like I have been sleeping for a very long time, and I could hear the murmuring of people but I'm not sure I was in my bedroom, I lifted my my hands but couldn't just then I noticed that I was chained "oh no!" This is not possible I looked in front of me I was shocked with the sight of people I found looking at me,my attention was drawn to the pillar with the angel statue on top of it and immediately I know I was in the wrong place because I have only seen such figure in the cemetery in Mississippi. I turned to look around just to make sure my mind wasn't playing tricks on me.
"What the hell is my sister and hope doing laying lifeless on the ground with a stake in my sisters heart!!" I said as I couldn't hold myself from screaming by the bodies I saw laying on the ground.
"Welcome my child" a voice which sounded familiar spoke. I wasn't surprised to see Rhea become it's only her that would come up with such idea and she wasn't sure what she had brought herself into.
"I swear I'll kill you myself as soon as I'm out of this chains" I sweared trying to breakout of her chain but it wasn't possible it must have been spelled.
" let's see if you would last longer to e wan break out of the chains" rhea laughed . And that was the last thing I heard her saying before I passed out again.
"Tardus pulsatio,Corum spiritus"
Rhea castes a magic spell which immediately stoped Elena from breathing and she passed out at instant
"Gather the woods and light up the fire, today we are bring back our ancestor back to inhabit the flesh and skin of the degon's sisters and only then can we lure Michael into our trap!!" The crowd cheered again knowing that Michael will definitely fall into their trap and then they can end him once and for all as he was the only one that is standing in their way.

"Gosh!!,Simon you are too fast how can I even learn that!!, one moment you are here the next you are somewhere else" care yelled at Simon who was trying to train her just in case she ever get attacked....
"Your enemies won't wait for you to get up before launching another blow to your face" Simon as he kicked cara on her stomach which definitely sent her flying and landing on the ground. "Urrrrrg" that hurts care cried In pains as she held her stomach.
"What the fuck are you?, you're neither a werewolf of one of my kind but yet you are able to take such pains and even heal faster" Simon said in frustration slapping his forehead with the palm of his hand…
"You have tried to kill me multiple times all because you want to know what I am and yet you are not bothered, I can see the reason why your kind are heartless" cara stood up dusting the dirt on her cloth as she walked to sit under the tree that was in the middle of the garden she was. Simon just stood and watched as she angrily walked away heading towards the tree in the middle of the garden, he stood for a long time trying to process the words she just said about him being heartless. Simon stood for a long time as her word's continued to repeat in his head "you are heartless!!!!"…..
"Simon!!!" Hearing his Name definitely brought him back to his present reality. " come and have a sit ain't you tired yet or you still want to beat me up again like I'm your toy? " cara questioned, but Simon only forced a smile on his face as he walked to join her under the tree she was sitting.
They were both silent for hours and it was kind of becoming boring for cara as she decided to spice things with silly questions that could make a person rip her apart.
"Ahem!!" Cara cleared her throat just to draw Simons attention which she really got.
"Are you alright?, so you need water?" Simon quickly responded in concern....
"No thanks, I'm fine" cara chuckled as she knew she had gotten his attention. " so you are Simon right ?, how did you become a vampire and how did you end up here ? " cara asked without thinking of what would be the outcome of her questions.
Simon stared at her for long without saying a word to her, although she finds it weird but she was one courageous human and she won't stop until she gets her answers. So she asked again " are you here ? , hellooooo" she said waving her hand in front of Simons face just to make sure he was there, but still he wasn't saying anything. "Ok it's fine, if you won't talk I'll just lay down here" cara said, finally giving up.
"I was saved by Michael!!", Simon said just as soon as she lay down on the grass.
"Long ago I was still a kid, I was the only child of my parents who were simple farmers in Mississippi, I was saved and rescued by Michael when my village was attacked by vampires, they killed everyone in our village including my parents.They were killed right in front of me I watched as they were drained of their blood and were burned alongside our hut where we lived, I cried for help but it was of no use, I was to young to fight for myself I was torn apart by the blood savage vampires, I gasped for air but it wasn't enough to keep me alive, I was left to suffer and watched as my neck was torn open by fangs and I was loosing my blood as I could feel them suck ever single drip blood out of my veins. I was left lifeless to die along side with my family but Michael came just like a hero he saved me and adopted me as his son and ever since then I have knew him as my father"*******
Cara was dumbfounded by Simons story she really couldn't tell how she felt for him, countless thoughts were running through her head and her heart really melted by Simons sad story.... "I'm so sorry that you have to grow up without the love of your family" she finally said as she fought to hold the drop of tears trying to fall down from her eyes " I also grew up with only my father, I never knew my mother or even know what she looked like" cara explained "I was also saved by Michael too, while I was been brutally wounded by a rouge werewolf I knew I died but here I am now still alive trying to figure out what I am" cara said in a sober voice she just couldn't control her emotions anymore.
"Maybe life wanted you to learn something or it wasn't your time to leave the earth yet" Simon said as he handed her a napkin to wipe the tears already rolling down her cheek.
"Thank you" cara chuckled as she took the napkin from Simon." Maybe he isn't a heartless monster I claim he is" she thought.
Time passed by as they both lay down on the grass without saying a word to each other, they both were staring at the sky just wondering and maybe waiting for the first person to break their silence.
"It's beautiful out here isn't it?" Simon said as he turned to look at care who was had already fell asleep. Simon could help but stare at the beautiful human laying beside him "she's such a beautiful..." Simon thought as he lifted her up just like a husband carrying his bride as he zoomed off...…..
