There's Always a Loophole Part 1
Hallway
Faith's POV
We were in the hallway heading towards the group to go save Landon and Rafael was walking with Hope and I and since Hope gave him the potion his mind has been an absolute mess so he is constantly losing control over his transformations and Hope and I heard him growl.
"Hey are you ok" Hope asked him as we look at him concerned "um my mind still won't settle down, look i'm sorry guys but I can't join the fight" Rafael told us "don't worry we're not going alone" I said and gesture towards our super squad making there way down the hall "our squad answered the bat signal" Hope told him as Kaleb, Jed and Josie walked up to us and Lizzie coming from behind, this should go well.
The twins took one look at each other and it was already game over "she's coming" the twins said in unison doing the creepy twin thing "we need all the help we can get, this is my brother in triad so please put your twin war on pause" I told them knowing the matter at hand was a whole lot more important.
"Why is he going, he hates Landon" Rafael asked me as he refers to Jed "look you're the alpha is Landon's your pack that makes him ours" Jed explained and I nodded "as I said my brother in triad, we need all the help we can get" I told him "where's MG at" Kaleb asked and I thought about it no way MG would miss a super squad meet up.
"He's on his way, let's load up while we wait for him" Hope says and then we go to the Salvatore car we were talking to put all out stuff in it.
Outside
We walked outside ready to head to the car only to be stopped by about 12 men in heavy duty uniform "oh sorry, we were about to knock" the main says "who the hell are you" Lizzie asked "names Bur, triad industries" Bur said 'ropeliair' Hope said trying to use her magic but there was no luck "I got this" Kaleb said before speeding out only to get burned, what the hell is going on.
"What you don't go it magic, which is why your daylight ring won't work and what we have are stakes, wolfs bane and other things, so I think you should invite up inside" Bur says but I think back to Rafael and his eyes glowed so werewolfs still have there powers and hybrids don't need rings so I smirk at Bur "oh really, now that's funny" I tell him causing all eyes to go to me "now why would that be funny" Bur asked and again I just smirked.
"Well Bur was it, clearly you don't know a lot about the supernatural now there's always a loophole right so have you heard of a hybrid Bur" I asked him and he nods his head "yeah but even then all your magic is warn off, we made sure of it" Bur said and I laughed think about how wrong he was and started to walk forward.
"Well see I happen to be a hybrid werewolf, vampire the last one on earth it's kind of crazy but because of what I am I don't need a daylight ring I know its crazy but with that being said you guys have stopped all the magic, right" I asked Bur and stopped just before the sunlight and he nodded before I took a step in the light and didn't burn and I looked up flashing my eye "wrong" I said growling a little.
The triad guys looked scared "now listen i'm really not in the mood so how about you come in, get what ever the hell you need and get the hell out" I told Bur tricking him into trusting us and he nodded "but I swear to god any one gets hurt and I'm coming for you" I say looking straight at Bur before turning around as we all walk into the school heading for the meeting hall.
Meeting Hall
We managed to get everyone in the meeting hall and because I was the only person who could properly fight Hope made me promise to not go fighting anyone because I wouldn't be about to take them all on so here we were listening to Bur "we are looking for the chalice of arimathea and we have reason to believe it is part of your schools collection, now you know this place a lot better than we do so the sooner you help us find it, the sooner we will be gone, Triad thanks you for your serveries" Bur said and Hope, Josie, Lizzie and I looked at each other and we knew this wasn't good not one bit.
Alaric's Office
Hope, Josie, Lizzie and I managed to make it into Ric's office and Hope went for the phone and Lizzie and I made sure the doors were locked "it's dead, we have to find the school cell" Hope said and we start looking for it "check MG's tighty whites" Lizzie says making me laugh a little but stop realising that this isn't the time "really this is serious" Josie scolded Lizzie and the only thing I could thing was not again "oh i'm sorry we can't all be born with resting concern pouty face" Lizzie says causing Josie to gasp and scratch my previous statement I just wan't some popcorn for the show.
"Didn't this shelf use to have books on it" Hope asked as our attention went to the empty shelf well except for a box "yeah that's weird" Josie says as Hope picks up the box and brings it down to the desk "guys it's the magic what ever they are doing to block it revealed the clocking spell covering this box" I explained.
"Big shocker, dad's hiding something from us" Lizzie says as she grabs the box and starts shaking it around "unless it has the school phone in it, it doesn't matter" Hope says as we keep looking "sorry I don't feel like laughing while my worlds falling apart" Josie says and now I take the other statement back not again.
"Your world, what about my world i'm the one who is going to be absorbed by my own twin" Lizzie says "guys" I said but was ignored "if you lose the merge" Josie said "which i'm obviously going to, i'm the weak broken one" Lizzie replied causing me to frown of how Lizzie see herself.
"And like clockwork, victim" Josie says very snarky "guys" I almost whined but was still ignored "hey guys, found it" Hope says holding up the phone as the twins stop and look at Hope and I just look offended "why do they listen to you and noT me" I asked and Hope just smirks and the twins just give me a small smile, ok hurt i'm hurt.
"It's Hope, triad's here"
"Yeah but our powers are gone"
"They said the third artifact is in the school somewhere"
"The chalice of arithmetic or something I don't know any idea"
"We're not the only ones in danger, Landon is two we can't just stand here and do nothing"
"Yeah"
Hope then hung up with Ric and we all looked at her waiting to see what he said "so what do we do now" Lizzie asked Hope "now we figure out how to get our powers back and we kick some paramilitary ass" Hope says and I cheer a little "i'm so down for that" I say smiling ready to kick there ass.
"Wait dad said not to do anything crazy" Josie says being the voice of reason "Faith and I defying your dad isn't crazy it's consistent" Hope tells the twins and I nod thinking about all the adventures we have made and how there will be so many more to come.
We hear the door open and see Bur I thought we locked it clearly no "well at least we know where you stand" he say causing Hope and I to step closer to Bur than the twins "your damn right you do" Hope says and I smirk at Bur "you're not very scared of me are you" he says before he pulls out a gun "how bout now" he asked aiming it at us.
Hope and I just laughed at him "that's your big plan mate, you're shotting a kid" I asked him as if he was stupid "see I would never harm a human child you four however, see these bullets are formed from the mud of the Malivore pit and weaponized but triad's scientist" Bur explained and I still wasn't scared but I was worried.
"They can break the skin of any supernatural like a hot knife through butter, fester, infect them and disintegrate them from the inside out" Bur says loading the gun with the mud bullets "we don't know where the chalice is" Josie says and I look into Bur's eyes "he know's that already, don't you" I asked him "I do, this is just for fun really" he said aiming the gun at us.
"Eenie" Hope
"Mini" Me
"Miny" Josie
"MO" Lizzie yells jumping in to take the bullet only for Josie to jump in last second and I caught her before she fell to the ground "no no no no no" I kept muttering to myself starting to cry this couldn't be happening Josie could die this wasn't how today was meant to happen Lizzie was crying and Hope was shocked I just stayed close to Josie "it's ok Jo, we'll figure this out" I whispered to her as she grunted in pain.
"Lock them up" Bur says and the triad guys come and take us the the cells down stairs to make sure we don't stop there plan.
Cell
Hope was leaning against the cell bars while I was pacing the the twins were sitting on the bench bed thing "what the hell is wrong with you" Lizzie asked Josie "you practically begged him to shot you" Josie replied "cause if i'm destined to die in my prime it might as well be in a blaze of hero glory" Lizzie told her making me frown I really don't want to hear or even think about one of the twins dying.
"You are unbelievably selfish" Josie told Lizzie "who took it upon them self to dive in from of my bullet, I thought that your co-dependent days were over" Lizzie asked "a regrettable relapse" Josie said and Lizzie went to check on the wound and Josie made a sound of pain which cause the guard to come up to us "hey keep it quite in there" he said.
"We're not in the prison yard ass hat" Lizzie said and the guard backed off and I was impressed but Hope and I kneeled in front of the twins "you guys i'm so sorry I mean I dragged you both into this and I have absolutely no idea what to do" Hope said but I grabbed her hand "we, we both go you in to this it's as much my fault as it is hers, i'm so sorry Josie" I said looking at Josie.
"Well that is just not good enough Hope, Faith my sister is clearly dying we did not wait 10 years for all of us to be friends for you two to not come through with your Armani-Mikaelson heroics, when we need you to the most" Lizzie says holding out her hand for Hope as Josie does the same to me "she's right for a change, it's hero time guys" Josie tells us.
"I said keep it quite in there" the guard says only to get shot down but MG "did someone say hero time" MG says making me smile seeing him and he gets us out of the cell and explains to us what is going on.
"A blood fountain, gross" Hope asked being a little disgusted about it all "it's even grosser in person trust me, I was looking for a way to shut it of but I couldn't find a way how" MG explains to us "alright we'll go find the secret tunnel I guess" I said and Hope nodded "thanks we get our magic back we'll have the upper hand" MG further explains.
"Then I can siphon the sludge out of Josie, not that she'll appreciate it" Lizzie says "great then I'll just be shot" Josie says making me frown about my best friend being so hurt "see the new you is so snarky" Lizzie said making me smile at the twins getting along.
"Ok we're going to be back as soon as we can please keep these two from trying to kill or die for each other" Hope told MG me nodding in agreement "you both need to help Landon, we don't need you guys to be here" MG told us "but we can't leave you guys here" I protested "for the love of Frodo, go rescue your hobbit brother well muddle through" Lizzie instructed
"She's right again, he needs you guys" Josie said "we've been watching you two save the school this entire school year, we got it now go save Landon" MG told us "go, if you guys go soft on us no i'm just going to hurl mali goo" Josie further instructed making me smile at her before Hope and I walk off to find the tunnels.
Underground Tunnel
Hope and I made it to the tunnel and just see a bunch of skull heads stacked up and blood pouring out of it disgusted by it I turned to Hope "do you have any clue how to turn it off" I asked her "nope, you" she asked me "no one clue babe" I told her as we keep looking for a way to turn it off.
"Don't suppose you come with an instruction manual" Hope asked the artifact as a light shines our way and we think it's triad till the flash light gets put down only for us to see Ric "I told you two to wait for me" Ric said "in a shocking turn of event we ignored you" I told him "yeah Hope, Faith about that-" he started saying "save the speech ok, we've paid the price" Hope said making me frown how were we meant to tell Ric he daughter got shot.
"Yeah I can see that, what happened to your arm" Ric asked lifting it up to see a bullet hole but no would how did I not know about this or feel it "that triad guy shot at us with Malivore mud, I must have got shot but I didn't even feel it, because it doesn't effect me" Hope says making me confused at how that even worked but it might be like the memories thing.
"Wait but who else got shot" Ric asked and I gulped "Ric you gotta trust us, Josie's gonna-" I started "Josie got shot" Ric said getting mad "yes but MG and Lizzie are on it and we think that they can fix everything if we could figure out how to turn this stupid thing of then they could get there magic back" I said as Ric effortlessly turns the fountain off and I look at him shocked.
"Which is super easy apparently, how did you know how to do that" Hope asked Ric me curious as well "this is a dark object created by a group of extinct witch like people called the travellars, anti magic was kind of there thing" Ric explained making me look at him oddly why would we even having this at the school.
"How did triad even get it in here, how did they know that there were tunnels" Hope asked "listen I will explain everything later but right now I have got to find Josie" Ric said before waking off "wait, give her a vial of my blood, from the werewolf bit cures" Hope said making me confused "why" Ric and I asked "I'll explain later too, lets go save Landon" Hope says before grabbing my hand as we go to save my brother.
