Paint it Black [The Vampire Diaries]

"I really don't understand your obsession with that human boy," Klaus grunts. Him and Imani were told to partner up with one another to find the white oak stakes. Despite his protests, here he was, following her as she stalks a human boy whilst they try and fail to find the one thing that could kill them.

"I never understood your obsession with creating hybrids," Imani retorted, stopping in a clearing that she sort of recognizes, "here."

"Here where?"

"Here is where my family and I created the white oak, so it should still have our magical touch," Imani explained getting down on her hands and knees.

"Life as a vampire would have fulfilled you if you gave it a chance," Klaus muttered, looking around them for anyone.

"I was not meant to be a vampire, my love," she whispered as a black musts surround her hands before going into her ring, "done."

"And now that you have it back?" Klaus asks.

"We get some help from my granddaughters," Imani smiles.

"They would never help us," Klaus says in disbelief.

"Yes they would. I promise."

"Last time you promised we almost died," Klaus chuckles at the memory.

"Sister, are you sure we are welcome here?" Rebekah asked Imani warily looking at the castle in front of them.

It was the biggest castle they had ever seen. Although it was dark out, it was clear that the bricks used to build it were light in color, the tops of every corner were a dark burgundy if the fire at the top of them were anything to go by. It was surrounded by guards in silver, their helmets covering their faces, with red talons coming from the top.

"Rebekah, trust me, Vlad has welcomed us to stay for a few moons," Imani promises the younger vampire.

"And shall that welcome end?" Elijah asks as the guards open the doors for them.
