Astrid woke up, stretching and then she prepared for school. She changed into blue jeans, black converse and a white shirt with a black jacket.

She walked downstairs to see Kol already sitting on the couch. The room was suspiciously tidy. She eyed him and he gave her an innocent smile.

"What did you do?" She asked suspicious.

"Nothing." He replied simply.

"Right..." She said as she took out a blood bag from the fridge. She drank the fluid as she stared at her brother. He was still smiling at her innocently. He's definitely planning something.

"Okay... I have to go to school. I'll see you later, love. Bye!" She said as she she left her house.

------

Astrid sat behind Stiles in English as the class already started. She just stared out the window, uninterested in the lesson. Suddenly, someone barged in the room, panting. Everyone turned to him, shocked. Including Astrid. She sent him a glare.

"Well... I'm glad you showed up on your first day. Mr..."

"Manson. Kol Manson" Kol replied

"Kol, sit wherever you-"

"Ms. Blake, can I got o the toilet?" Astrid stood up, staring and Kol.

"Uh.. sure?" The teacher answered.

Astrid was walking towards the door. She stood next to Kol and grabbed his arm, pulling him out of the classroom. She arrived in the girls toilets and she pushed him against the tiled wall.

"What. Are. You. Doing. Here?" She asked.

"Calm down sister, I'm just trying to spend some more time with you" he answered looking at her with pleading eyes "and i want to meet your mortal friends. Please? I won't kill anyone" he pouted.

"Ugh... fine" she said as she pulled him back towards their English classroom. She sat on her chair behind Stiles as her mortal friends gave her a confused look.

"May I sit behind my sister, Astrid?" Kol asked, pointing at her, everyone turned around to look at her. Stiles and Scott quietly said 'oh' as they realised he was her brother.

"Sure" the teacher replied as there was an empty seat behind her.

Kot sat behind her with a wide grin while Astrid rolled her eyes but smiled back.

-----

Ethan, scott, Stiles and Mikaelson siblings stood on the stairs. Kol's arm was on Astrid's shoulders as he rested his head on her head. Astrid, of course, didn't mind.

"Why are you even talking to me? I helped kill your friend." Ethan spoke. "How do you know I'm not gonna kill another one? Like her" he pointed at Astrid.

"I'd like to see you try" Kol laughed and Astrid punched his chest.

"You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna break an extra large branch of mountain Ash, wrap it in wolfsbane, roll it in mistletoe, and shove it up your freaking..." Stiles spoke, angry.

"Stiles, okay. We get it" Scott interrupted him. "We're talking to you because I know that you didn't want to kill Boyd. And I think that if something like that happened now, you wouldn't do it again."

Ethan shook his head "You don't know what we owe them, especially Deucalion. We weren't like Kali and Ennis when we met him. We weren't alphas"

"What were you?" Astrid asked, curious.

"Omegas." Ethan paused "in actual wolf packs, omegas are the scapegoat, the last to eat, the one who has to take abuse from the rest of the pack."

"So you and your brother were, like, the bitches of the pack?" Stiles asked.

Kol chuckled "I like him" he pointed at Stiles with a smile.

"Something like that" Ethan answered. They all looked at the siblings and smiled slightly. Not all siblings were as close as Astrid and her brothers.

"What happened?" Scott asked, still smiling at the siblings.

"They were killers. I mean, people talk about us as monsters" Astrid looked at Ethan sympathetically, knowing what that feels like. Kol rubbed her arm gently and kissed her head. "Well, they are the ones who gave us the reputation. And our Alpha was the worst of them."

"Why didn't you guys just fight back?" Stiles asked Ethan. "From Voltron wolf, you know? Kick everyone's asses?"

"We couldn't, we didn't know how to control it back then" Ethan said loudly.

"Deucalion taught you" Scott said.

"And then, we fought. We took down the whole pack, one-by-one. By the time we got to our alpha, he was begging for his life. And we tore him apart. Literally"

"What about your emissary?" Scott asked. "They're all dead? Kali and Ennis', too?"

"All of them except for Deucalion's"

"You mean Morell?" Stiles asked.

Suddenly Ethan gasps and grabs his chest.

"What? What's wrong? Are you hurt?" Scott asked concerned.

"Not me. My brother." Ethan answered.

Ethan starts running and they all follow him, they arrive at the men's locker room.

Aiden is about to drop a weight on Cora so Ethan and Scott stop him from doing so. Stiles rushes to Lydia who's kneeling next to Cora as the Mikaelson siblings stand behind Lydia.

"Aiden, you can't do this!" Ethan shouted at his twin.

"She came at me!" Aiden argued.

"It doesn't matter!" Ethan replied. "Kali gave Derek until the next full moon. You can't touch him or her."

Aiden and Lydia look at each other as Cora sighs, blood on her forehead. The twins leave the locker room.

"Hey, guys, I think she's pretty hurt" Stiles states.

"We can take her to my house. It's closer than Derek's" Astrid states and they all nod

------

They all arrived at Astrid's mansion. The teenagers look around impressed.

"Sit down, love. I'll give you something to speed up your healing" Astrid said as she walked towards her kitchen.

They all sat down on the couch in the living room. They looked around, admiring the paintings Astrid and Niklaus painted.

Astrid filled a cup with water and added a few drops of her blood inside. She went back and handed it to Cora.

"How is water supposed to help?" Cora asked.

Astrid smirked at her "just drink".

Cora drank the water and the wound healed instantly. They all looked at it amazed.

"That's amazing" Stiles stated and looked at Cora "What were you thinking?"

"I did it for Boyd. None of you were doing anything." She snapped as she looked at each of the teenagers. Kol walked towards the couch and sat down next to Lydia. Astrid sent him a glare.

"We're trying" Scott said softly.

"And you're failing" she answered. "You're just a bunch of stupid teenagers, running around, thinking that you can stop people from getting killed" Cora said as Kol snorted. "But all you do is show up late. All you really do is find the bodies." She said as she walked out of the house.

"She's definitely a Hale" Stiles sighed. "I'll make sure she gets home" Stiles stood up and also left the house.

Astrid looked at Kol who was admiring Lydia.

"Kol, no" she stated and he rolled his eyes.

"I can smell blood" Scott said and got up. Astrid watched his every move as he moved the table to uncover a circle of blood under it. "What is that from?"

"Kol cut himself" she glared at her older brother "I told you to bloody clean it, brother" she snapped "this carpet was really expensive" she walked towards him and grabbed his collar, pulling him up and pushing him towards the blood.

"Astrid, calm down." Scott cupped her face "It'll come off" he smiled softly.

"Sorry, Kol. I didn't mean to snap at you" Kol smiled and nodded at his sister, understanding that she really didn't want her friends to know what she is. Scott smiled and kissed her, forgetting that Lydia was there.

"Finally" she stated and they all looked at her.

-------

Stiles and Cora sat in the jeep as Allison called them.

"Philosophers?" Stiles asked.

"And guardians, which after last night has to mean something like law enforcement, Right? Stiles, you have to tell your dad. Tell him whatever you need but you have to get him to believe. Tell your dad. Warn him." Allison said.

"Okay, Okay, Okay, I know" Stiles answered.

"What are you gonna do?" Cora asked.

"I'm gonna tell him the truth" Stiles answered, driving to his house.

-------

Scott and Astrid entered the school counsellor office.

"Sorry but I don't remember having any more appointments" Morell said.

"You sure?" Scott asked as Morell glared at him.

They all sat down on the chairs In the office.

"Why are you bothering me, Scott, Astrid? When you know the clock is ticking?" She asked. "When you know someone else is about to be taken?"

"By you" Scott answered.

"Come on, Scott. Shouldn't you leave interrogations to someone like Stilinski?"

"Are you the one killing people?"

"Are you listening to my heartbeat?" Morell asked. Her heartbeat steady as she leaned closer "no. I'm not the one killing people."

Scott shook his head.

"The truth is, I'm all that stands between Deucalion and the lives of your friends. I've been the one pulling the leash taut when they're salivating for a bite."

"What do you mean?" Astrid asked.

"He wants a true alpha in his pack. He thinks it's you, Scott. And a little distraction like a few human sacrifices isn't gonna dissuade him from the prize."

"I'm not an alpha" Scott argued.

"But you're well on your way, aren't you?" Morell asked, already knowing the answer.

"Then what is he waiting for? What does he want me to do?" Scott snapped and he stood up.

Morell stood up as Well, Astrid being the only one who remained sat down. "He wants to make a killer out of you." Morell answered. "That's what he does."

"But if I kill someone, i can't be a true alpha, Right?" Scott asked.

"Exactly. You want a psychologist's perspective? He's an obsessive who both desires you and is threatened by you. If the obsessive can't have the object of his desire, he'll choose to destroy it instead. You'll either willingly become part of his pack, or he'll make a killer out of you, destroying your potential to be a true alpha."

"Neither of those is ever going to happen." Scott answered.

"Don't be so sure." Morell sat back down on her chair."You're playing his game. And while you're trying to figure out what to do next, he's thinking ten moves ahead, with checkmate already in sight."

Scott sighed and got up, opening the door.

"Go. I need to talk with her" Astrid said, glaring at Morell who is smiling at her.

"Are you sure?" Scott asked.

"Yes. Go" she ordered and he left, closing the door behind him.

"What is it you want to talk about, Astrid Freydis Mikaelson" she asked, looking at the vampire.

"How do you know who I am, dear?" She asked, tilting her head slightly.

"I've read about your family. There are a lot of different stories about you and your family, of course, most don't believe in them" she spoke softly. "And neither did I until I met your brother, Niklaus. He was drunk in a bar, holding a picture of you and him while he drank."

"I'm surprised he didn't kill you" Astrid chuckled, fidgeting with a ring which had the letter 'M' on it. "When did you meet him?"

Morell smiled "a few months ago. Just after you broke the curse. He told me your whole life story before he compelled me to forget but I'm on vervain. I pretended like he succeeded and left the bar. I was surprised he didn't just drink me" Morell and Astrid chuckled slightly.

"Does Deaton know?"

"No. He thinks the originals are just a myth. Created to scare the supernatural creatures" Morell paused "Is it true?"

"What?"

"You're a tribrid?" She asked. "I don't believe your brother about that part. You can't be three in one. I know you're a hybrid but I do not believe that you're also a with. It was make you too powerful. You would be-"

"Invincible" Astrid finished her sentence and Morell nodded. Astrid smiled and showed her vampire-wolf face. Morell looked at her, interested. Astrid turned her face back to normal and looked at a plant on Morell's desk.

"Phasmatos Tribum, Melan Veras. Phasmatos Tribum, Melan Veras" Astrid said as the plant grew rapidly, a few more flowers blooming.

"Interesting. You truly are the most powerful Mikaelson" Morell stated as Astrid smirked.

"I am. So if you ever go against me or the people I care about, I won't hesitate to snap your neck... and you'll never see it coming." Astrid smiled and left the room, leaving Morell alone.
