They both pulled away from the hug. Nick looking at the grass and Hope looking at Nick with concern in her eyes. Before they knew Lizzie came running towards them. ''hey what's going on? you two were supposed t...'', then she cut herself of when she saw the monster on the grass.

She looked back at Hope and Nick. Hope looked at Lizzie, saying ''we got held up by a monster''. ''yeah, I see that. Are you guys okay?'', she asked the hybrid and the tribrid. They both nodded. Then Lizzie saw Nick's hand. ''Nick. y-your hands''.

Nick looked up at Lizzie at what she said, then he looked at his hands. He eyed them for a second, then took his head up again to face the siphoner witch and tribrid. ''don't worry Liz. I'm good. It's not mine. I-It's the monster's''.

Lizzie didn't aske more questioned. She looked at Hope and Hope gave her a small smile.

They three stood there for a moment. Not speaking, just listening to the silence. Then Alaric came.

Alaric's pov

I walked out of the school. There I saw my daughter, Nick and Hope. I couldn't actually see what was going on. I just saw Nick had blood in his hand and blood in his forehead. I went over there immediately.

As I reached them. I looked at Nick. He didn't look at me. He just looked down.

I saw the monster. The monster Landon warned me about just some minutes ago. I looked back up at the three of them, asking ''what happened? Landon came into my office. Talking about a monster, and that I should go out to see for myself''.

Hope looked at me then answering my question ''Nick here saw the monster and well...'', then she cut herself out and looked at Nick. Then spoke again ''and I tackled it. Killing it. It was all me, no one else sir''.

Nick's pov

Doctor Saltzman asked what happened and before I got to answer him. Hope took the blame. I can't let her do it. It wasn't her. It was me.

I looked at doctor S. He was looking at Hope. he looked worry and angry at the same time. So, I spoke up ''mr S it was me. It was me. It wasn't Hope. I saw the monster and tackled it. I didn't think. Instead, I used violence. My face went fully wolf. It felt like I didn't have control, even if I had. Then Hope she tried to stop the monster, but it took her by her throat and that's when I lost it. I howled and the monster shifted his sight to me. I ordered him to let her go and he did. He actually obeyed me. Then I ripped his heart out from his chest and killed him. I'm sorry. I know you don't want us to take matters in our own hands. It's just first he was controlled by Malivore and he whispered things to me. I listened with my wolf hearing, and I couldn't let it go. I'm sorry and ready to receive whatever punishment you give me''.

He looked at me and sighed. It looked like he was disappointed, but also relived at the same time.

''look Nick. Don't take me wrong. I'm happy you all are okay and that the monster is gone. However, you are just kids. I'm supposed to protect you all, not the other way. You shouldn't say sorry. You were just protecting the people you love. I should apologies. For not being able to protect you. You won't get a punishment. Cause you were just doing it to protect yourself and others'', dr S said.

I looked up and him and nodded. Then Hope began to speak up ''doctor Saltzman. You shouldn't apologies neither should Nick. You do protect us, but we can also protect ourselves. No offense doctor Saltzman, but you're a human. We, we are supernatural's. We have powers, strength, different shapes etc. We have things that humans don't. So, we can take care of ourselves even if we are kids''.

I then heard Lizzie speaking next ''she's right dad. We are supernatural's and we can kick ass. So, don't worry to much about us'', she said giving her dad a smile.

Mr S looked between Lizzie and Hope. Then answered them ''thanks girls, but I will always worry about you'', he said giving them a smile.

Then he looked back at me, asking ''what exactly did Malivore say?''. I stood there looking at him, Hope and Lizzie. They all looked at me curious. I answered ''nothing really. Just getting on my nerve and that''. They looked at me and didn't say anything.

Mr S broke the silence ''well, you all shall get to class, and I should get back to the office''. He gave us a nod then walked away.

''I actually have a free period and I guess you two have too?'', I asked Lizzie and Hope. they both nodded. Then I asked Lizzie ''yo Lizzie. What is the meaning of this?''. Then I took up the note and held it up for her to see.

She looked at me, then at Hope. ''what? You think I wrote it?'', she said trying to sound surprise. ''Lizzie. Quit it we know it was you'', Hope said.

She sighed ''fine it was me. However, I won't tell you. Guess you both have to go to where it all started to figure it out'', she said with a mischievous smile.

Me and Hope looked at each other. Then back at Lizzie. ''let me guess. The garden?'', I asked her. She nodded.

''well, let's go then. Or what Salvatore?'', Hope said stepping in front of me with a snarky smile. I gave her a devlish smile back and said ''sure Mikaelson. Lead the way''.

Then we waved bye to Lizzie, as we started walking together to the garden.
