[crybaby-tami]

Welcome to the new people, hope you enjoy your stay <3

also, OC shit below

As the older followers know (or the ones that stalked my account), I have a few OC's. One of which is named Tanner. There has not been much thought into the design of Tanner, so redesigning...

and seeing as I've been drawing a lot of a fat ass (Shane SDV) I wanted a new OC. so we now have Bee.

Bee and Tanner are related. siblings.

idk who is older. What i do know, is that Tanner doesn't know how to feel about Bee, and Bee... well she is chaotic. which is really a byproduct of listening a song... And Bee is half vamp because I want her to have red eyes and Sammie has red eyes. also probably a mix with something else not human... I still want an OC with big teeth.

also, Tanner is Tanner, and Bee is trans fem (she/her). They also have a last name now! Tanner and Bee Kriss

Sammie, and Winter are now the only ones with no last name (that I remember)

Names of all the OC's I still draw from time to time: Mickey Jenna Sky-Sakura (Any/All) Angel Oliver Cain Foster (aka Salem (mostly called Foster)) (He/They) Peaches Sakura (She/Her) Winter (They/She) Tanner Kriss (no. just Tanner) Sammie (He/Him) Bee Kriss (She/Her)

Basic description of them ig? Mickey: Shapeshifting mostly immortal monkey who is dating Death and as a byproduct becomes the rep for life. Ex-witches familiar. (also ex dying light oc) Foster: Human cursed by a witch and became Death. Peaches: Daughter of witch that got drowned and is now a ghost. also the only named cis character.... Winter: Vampire that is also half cursed by a different witch and has black eyes. 90% of the time, they are mute. Tanner: Human. Literally the only oc that is 100% human... Also no pronouns, just Tanner. dressed as fem 90% of the time. Sammie: Trans masc Vampire.... Nothing else on them really lmao Bee: Vamp + less than 10% human + unknown % of something else. Trans fem. That one unnamed monkey that owns a cat: CRAZY PERSON!!! uh... MONKEY..... OWNS A CAT NAMED TOBY????? Yeah, idk. Still need to finish his design lmao. probably dead. also cis, just no name.

Information only line 85% of it is true at this point. I changed how Foster died. Insane unnamed monkey that I had mentioned + his cat Toby!

Dangerous Creatures | Chapter 7: Undead

Summary: Mackenzie Alemaund is an unlucky 18 year old teenager whose life changes drastically after she gets kidnapped by two vampires and learns, in the same day, that she is not human.

Pairing: Elijah x OC

Words: 6108

A/N: Please, note that I am French so there might be some mistakes here and there + I’m not sure when I’ll be posting chapter 8 as it hasn’t been edited and I don’t know when my friend will have time to look at it

Masterlist

Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Chapter 3 | Chapter 4 | Chapter 5 | Chapter 6

When Mackenzie woke up, she felt lazy. She didn’t want to get out of bed. It was the first time in two years since she felt like sleeping late was a possible option for her. There was nothing to worry about. For the second time this week she didn’t have to hurry to make Robert’s breakfast. She didn’t even have to worry about him. Elijah had compelled him to ignore her completely. It’s not that he wasn’t allowed to talk to her, he just couldn’t do it anymore. He couldn’t even look at her.

She was exhausted. Practicing magic was the hardest thing she ever had to do. It was so easy and yet so hard. It was like learning how to walk all over again, and she was just a baby at this stage. Within the last two days she had met with Jonas twice. Twice now the warlock had forced her to stare at a dead plant for hours, asking her to revive it. But to no end. It was frustrating.

As much as she would have loved to stay in her bed, she knew she couldn’t. Elijah was picking her up early this morning. They were going to look for a witch burial ground where witches had been massacred centuries ago. Elijah said Jonas would need the power if he would be the one who were to face Klaus, and that they would probably need the extra power anyways. He also said they might find it faster as she would be able to feel the magic from the site. Moreover, it had been over 24h now. She needed Elijah’s blood again to cover the strong smell of her own.

She got up and took a shower. She made sure Robert was gone before she walked down the stairs. Even though she knew he couldn’t hurt her anymore, she couldn’t help but be uncomfortable in his presence. Scared, even. It was Saturday, which meant he would either stay home all day or go meet his friends and/or colleagues somewhere. Seeing as his car wasn’t there when she looked out the window of her room, she guessed it was the second option.

She had just finished cleaning up the kitchen when Elijah knocked on her door. He was wearing a suit, as always. Mackenzie never dared ask why, she liked the mystery. She liked to believe he was just that old-fashioned.

“Hey,” she said as she gave him a small smile. “Come in.”

“Good morning, Ms. Alemaund,” he smiled back at her as he stepped inside her home.

“So, how is it?” she asked, a little bit nervous, as she closed the door.

“Not bad,” he said. “But still strong.”

“Can I leave my house like this?”

“Yes,” he nodded. “But I’m afraid you won’t be able to on Monday.”

“So, you’re coming back on Monday, then?”

“Yes. I have to take you to Jonas anyway” he told her. “Are you ready? We don’t want to make Ms. Sommers wait.”

***

Jenna was a little surprised by Mackenzie’s presence. Elijah explained to her that Mackenzie was curious about his research and he agreed that she accompany them.

“I hope that’s not an issue,” Elijah said.

“Oh, not at all!” the redhead replied. “The more the merrier,” she chuckled, a little bit nervously.

Mackenzie’s presence didn’t change her plans. She had the maps Elijah had asked for and she happily told him everything he wanted to know as they walked through the property lines.

“The old Fell property actually starts just beyond that fence,” she said as she pointed towards what she was mentioning.

“Ah, the Fells,” Elijah chuckled. “One of the founding families.”

“Why do you say it like that?”

“My research showed me that this area was actually settled almost two centuries earlier. There was a migration of towns folks from the Northeast. Salem to be precise.”

“Massachusetts? As in the witch trials?” Jenna asked.

Elijah nodded. “Which means the ever-lauded founding families didn’t actually found anything.”

Mackenzie couldn’t help but let out a discreet laugh only Elijah heard, which made him smile, though she didn’t see it as she was looking at the ground.

It also made Jenna chuckle: “Well, I bet it was the men who made a big deal about being founders back in 1860. Men are very territorial.”

“Yes, they are,” he sighed.

His tone made Mackenzie look up out of curiosity. She followed their gaze and saw Alaric Saltzman coming their way. He was walking with his hands in his pockets and a smile on his face. Both Mackenzie and Elijah knew he was probably here because he was worried about Jenna. As for Elena’s aunt, she was clearly surprised.

“Uh… Elijah, this is my, uh, friend, Alaric Saltzman.”

“Yeah, I got your message about walking Elijah through the property lines. I thought I would tag along. You know, being a history buff and all,” he chuckled. He gave a weird look to Mackenzie. He had no idea what she was doing there. He was surprised to see her standing so close to Elijah. He would have thought she would have preferred to be anywhere else but near the Original vampire. “What about you, Mackenzie, are you helping Jenna?”

“I…”

“She’s with me,” Elijah cut her off. “She’s interested in my research,” he said with an amused smile.

Alaric frowned, obviously confused.

“Well, you do like history,” he said, unconvinced. He couldn’t be fooled. Something strange was happening, but he couldn’t figure out what. He knew he hadn’t compelled her as Elena had mentioned she couldn’t be compelled for some reason. Whatever the reason she had to spend time with Elijah, he imagined it couldn’t be anything good. “Well,” he cleared his throat, “where to next?”

“I’m pretty curious about the freed slave property owners,” Elijah replied. “Some say the descendants of the slaves are the true keepers of American history.”

“Well, I only brought the surveys. I’ve got that list in my car, just give me a sec,” Jenna said before she walked away, leaving the three “history buffs” alone.

Alaric watched her walk away and Elijah made sure she was far enough for her not to hear them before he spoke up.

“Alaric Saltzman. You’re one of those people on Elena’s list of loved ones to protect.”

“Yeah, so is Jenna,” he reminded him, “and Mackenzie.”

“You don’t have to be worried, Ms. Alemaund is in no danger with me,” he assured the vampire hunter.

Alaric frowned as he held Elijah’s gaze for a few seconds before his eyes fell on his student.

“Are you okay, Mackenzie?”

“I’m fine,” she quickly replied with a smile she wanted to be reassuring.

“What are you doing here?”

“I…” she started but stopped as she had no idea what to tell him. Elijah was looking at her with an amused smile, curious of what she was going to say. “I’m just… helping.”

“Helping who do what?”

“Helping… Elijah with his research…” she said in a whisper her professor almost couldn’t hear.

He looked at her with a weird look on his face, confused as to why she would say such an obvious and terrible lie.

“Are you okay?” he asked, not bothering to hide his concern.

“I’m fine, Professor Saltzman,” she told him again, “I really am.”

He frowned again, trying to figure out what was going on. Maybe, because Elijah was an Original he could compel other supernatural creatures normal vampires couldn’t. He would have to keep a very close eye on her.

“Ric!” Jenna called from the car, “could you give me a hand?”

“Yeah!” he waved at her to reply. He gave one last look to Mackenzie, then another one to Elijah, before he turned around and left.

“You’re a terrible liar,” Elijah mocked.

“Hey,” she complained as she playfully pushed him.

Alaric was even more confused when he turned around and saw both of them laughing.

***

Sitting at a table in the crowded and loud Mystic Grill, Alaric, Damon and his girlfriend, Andie Star, were talking about the weird encounter the history professor had had that morning.

“Other than your lecture on Mystic Falls, did you get anything out of Elijah?” Damon asked.

“No, it was boring,” Alaric sighed, “Though I suspect he’s able to compel supernatural creatures, unlike you.”

“What makes you say that?”

“Remember Mackenzie?”

“Who?”

“Mackenzie? The girl that Rose kidnapped with Elena?”

“Oh yeah, the kid that smells like candy, what about her?”

“She was there.”

“What do you mean ‘She was there’?”

“She was there, this morning,” Alaric repeated, “with Elijah.”

Damon frowned. “What was she doing there?”

“I have no idea. When I asked her she said she was helping him with his research.”

“Oh yeah, she’s definitely compelled,” Damon agreed. “The kid was traumatized, she passed out when we found her.”

“Didn’t you say Elijah compelled Katherine to stay in the tomb?” Andie asked her “boyfriend”.

“Yeah, he did.”

“So, if he can compel vampires…”

“He can compel other supernatural creatures,” Damon sighed. “Which means it’s time for Bon-Bon to drink that vervain tea we’ve all been on.”

“It also means he broke the deal,” Alaric added before he stopped. “Maybe we shouldn’t… talk about this here?” he said, eyeing Andie.

“Don’t worry about Andie. She’s been compelled not to divulge my secrets, haven’t you?” he said as he put his arm around her shoulders.

“Mmhmm, my lips are sealed,” she said before she kissed him.

“This is too weird,” Alaric sighed with slight disgust as he looked away.

“I just need the right opportunity,” Damon thought out loud.

The vampire looked up from the table as Jenna, Elijah and Mackenzie entered the Grill.

“Ah. There’s Jenna with her new boyfriend,” he joked to tease his friend.

Alaric took a look and rolled his eyes as he saw them approach.

“Hi,” Damon waved at them.

“Hey, guys,” Jenna waved back with a big smile.

Elijah politely smiled at them as he approached the table with Mackenzie. She knew this could end very badly considering Damon wasn’t a fan of Elijah.

“So, I hear you all had quite a meeting of historical minds,” Damon said.

Mackenzie shivered when his eyes landed on her. He gave her a weird smile as he looked her up and down, which made her feel self-conscious. She quickly looked up at Elijah who was staring at the vampire with an amused smile.

“Yeah, I guess you could say that,” Jenna smiled at the eldest Salvatore brother.

“Well,” Alaric sighed as he got up, “As much as I’d like to continue this, I’ve got papers to grade.”

“Well, you know what,” Andie said, stopping him from leaving, “We should continue this. Let’s have a dinner party.”

“Ooh, my girl! Full of good ideas! I’ll be happy to host,” Damon said with a smirk. “Say, tonight, maybe?”

“Yeah, tonight works for me,” Andie agreed.

“Well, you know what, tonight’s not gonna wo…”

“I’ll be there,” Jenna stopped Alaric, who rolled his eyes again, now forced into going to a dinner party he had no wish to attend.

Damon was holding Elijah’s gaze with a proud smirk. The Original vampire wasn’t impressed by the staged invitation of the vampire’s compelled girlfriend. It wasn’t a very original tactic.

“It would be a pleasure,” Elijah shrugged and smiled. “What do you say Mackenzie?”

“Uh, um, I don’t think I was invited,” she chuckled nervously, taken by surprise by the invitation. It was obviously “adults only”.

“I’m sure she has better things to do on a Saturday night than hang out with her history professor,” Alaric said, hoping Mackenzie wouldn’t be present at the dinner. He didn’t know what Damon was plotting but it was nothing good.

“Actually, I promised her I’d walk her through some details of my research and I feel bad for cancelling our plans,” Elijah said. “So, if you don’t mind…” he asked Damon.

The vampire forced a smile on his face. “Not at all! The more the merrier.”

“Great,” Elijah smiled. “We will see you tonight.”

***

“Why do you want me there tonight?” Mackenzie asked the Original vampire as they walked up the stairs to Jonas’ apartment.

“Because Damon doesn’t.”

“You think he’s planning something?”

“Oh, he most definitely is,” he said. “And I’ll feel better with you there,” he joked.

“Don’t make fun of me,” she rolled her eyes which made him chuckle. “I have a bad feeling about tonight, do I really have to go?”

“You don’t have to, no…” he replied, but he really wanted her to come. He wanted her to see what Damon could do. Maybe it was because he wanted her to stop seeing him as “the bad guy” and see that the world wasn’t black or white, that there was no “good guy” in this story, that Damon and his brother weren’t better than him.

“But you’d like me to…” Mackenzie guessed.

“I would.”

She sighed. They stopped in front of Jonas’ front door and Elijah was about to knock when she stopped him.

“I’ll come under one condition,” she told him. She saw he was surprised she was negotiating with him. He nodded. “No one is getting hurt tonight, no matter what happens.”

She could see he was annoyed by her request.

“That might not be up to me,” he said. “If Damon does anything…”

“Then you’ll stop him,” she cut him off, “but you won’t…” she stopped. “You won’t hurt him.”

Elijah stayed silent as he considered it. He wondered for a second why Damon mattered to her, but it occurred to him she probably would have asked the exact same thing for anyone else. Mackenzie stared at him expectedly.

“Fine,” he finally agreed.

“You promise?”

He sighed. “I promise.”

***

Practice had been as awful as the day before and the day before that. Nothing happened, which made Mackenzie feel even more useless than usual. She was angry at herself for not making it work. “It’s in you” is what Jonas said. So why couldn’t she make it work? Why couldn’t she revive that dead plant whose dead power she could still feel? It was right in front of her, the tools were in her, they were in the air, they were in the plant itself and yet, she hadn’t been able to do anything. Nothing at all.

Elijah could see she was beating herself up about it. She was sitting on the passenger seat of his car, in her dark red dress and black ballerina shoes, staring at her hands, lost deep in her dark thoughts.

“You’ll get it soon,” he said, getting her attention. “Nobody said it was going to be easy.”

“True… But nobody said it was going to be this hard.”

Even though Elijah had agreed to answer all her questions, Mackenzie couldn’t bring herself to ask them. At first, he wondered if it were because she was still wary of him, but then he started to think that she wasn’t probably used to talking to someone, to anyone, about anything. He tried to start a conversation a few times, but she always replied with short answers, killing the conversation mercilessly, though he knew she wasn’t doing it on purpose. So they drove in silence to the Salvatore’s house, or as Mackenzie saw it, to the big obvious trap.

***

Mackenzie took a deep breath as Elijah knocked on the door of the Salvatore’s boarding house. She was convinced this wasn’t going to end well. For anyone.

The door opened to a smiling Damon. He seemed to be in a good mood, he didn’t look worried or scared at all. Elijah took this as arrogance, but it scared Mackenzie. She still had that bad feeling from earlier, and Damon had the look of someone who knew something his “enemy” didn’t.

“Good evening,” Elijah smiled back.

“Thank you for coming. Please, come in.”

“Just one moment,” Elijah said, putting his hand on the frame of the door. “Can I just say that if you have less-than-honorable intentions about how this evening is going to proceed, I suggest you reconsider.”

Mackenzie looked up at him, then at Damon, curious to see his reaction.

Damon nodded. “No, nothing dishonorable. Just, uh, getting to know you,” he said with a smile. And not a sincere one. It’s like he wasn’t even trying to be convincing.

Mackenzie’s bad feeling wasn’t going away, it was actually getting stronger and it almost hurt her stomach.

“Mm, that’s good,” Elijah replied as he stepped inside the house, followed by Mackenzie.

“Elijah, Mackenzie!” Jenna called as she saw them enter. “It’s good to see you,” she smiled at them.

“You too Jenna, you look incredible,” Elijah smiled back.

“Why, thank you,” she grinned. “Damon, I need help with the oven, I have no idea how to make it work.”

“What makes you think I do?” Damon joked.

“I’ll help,” Mackenzie volunteered, eager to be in human company.

“You know how to cook?” Jenna asked.

“Yeah.”

Elijah watched Mackenzie walk away as Damon closed the front door. When they were finally alone in the hall, Elijah took the opportunity to make himself clearer.

“You know, although Elena and I have this deal, if you so much as make a move to cross me I’ll kill you and I’ll kill everyone in this house. Are we clear?”

Damon frowned. “Crystal,” the vampire said after a few seconds, as seriously as the Original vampire had ever seen him. “Speaking of deal…” he continued, “Mackenzie is on Elena’s list of people you’re supposed to protect. I think compelling the kid to be your little pet isn’t exactly ‘protecting’ her.”

Elijah raised an eyebrow then let out a small laugh.

“And what do you care about Ms. Alemaund?”

“Oh, I don’t,” Damon shrugged. “But Elena does.”

“Ah yes, I’m sure she does,” Elijah said sarcastically. “But see, I am a man of my word. I make a deal, I keep a deal. I haven’t compelled her, I can’t. She’s not human.”

“You think I’m gonna believe that?”

“You believe whatever you want to believe, Damon.”

“You can compel vampires, I’m sure a witch is no problem to you.”

“I am an Original vampire. I can compel vampires, I could compel you if I wanted to, but witches, I’m afraid, are out of my reach.”

Damon stared at him in silence, trying to figure out if he could believe him or not.

“So, I’m supposed to believe the kid is willingly following you everywhere for no reason?”

“Her reasons are her own,” Elijah said in a tone which made it clear to the eldest Salvatore that he was getting annoyed by his interrogation, “if you want to know them I suggest you ask her, not me.”

“Will do,” Damon nodded. “Will do.”

***

Mackenzie felt out of place sitting at the dinner table among the adults. The adults who were composed of two vampires, one vampire hunter, a compelled fake girlfriend, an oblivious human and whatever John Gilbert was. Luckily for the elemental, nobody was paying attention to her, and it was easy for her to make herself invisible. She helped Jenna in the kitchen as Elena’s aunt was a terrible cook.

Dinner went well. As well as it could have. Mackenzie assumed that creepy conversations were bound to happen while having dinner with hundreds of year old vampires. She enjoyed the break before dessert during which Damon and Elijah had left to another room to have a drink. When they came back, Jenna was serving coffee, but dessert wasn’t on the table.

“Sorry, guys,” she said. “Dessert is taking longer than I thought. I usually just unwrap food,” she chuckled.

“I’ll help you.”

“Oh, no, Mackenzie stay, it’s fine! You’ve done enough, you deserve a break,” Jenna told her before she left the room.

So, there she was again, sitting at the table with Elijah and John. She was sitting at the vampire’s left and the empty seat next to her belonged to her history professor who hadn’t come back yet. When she looked around, she noticed Damon was not in the room either.

“So,” Andie said as she sat across Elijah. “I know this is a social thing, but I’d really love to ask you some questions about the work you’re doing.”

“I’d love to answer,” Elijah nodded.

“Great. Oh, that’s so great! Ric!” she called as the professor stepped in the room with Damon, “would you do me a favor and grab the notebook out of my bag?”

“Sure.”

“Elijah,” Damon started as he sat back down, “did John tell you he’s Elena’s uncle slash father?” Damon asked with an amused smirk.

“Yes, I’m well aware of that.”

“What?” Mackenzie breathed out. She thought she had heard it all but that one was new to her.

“Of course, she hates him,” Damon continued, completely ignoring the elemental. “So, there’s absolutely no need to keep him on the endangered species list.”

Mackenzie looked at Damon, then at John, who didn’t look too reassured.

“Ric, it’s in the front pocket, on the… You know what? Excuse me, guys, sorry,” Andie said as she got up to find her notebook herself.

“Now, Mackenzie, is it?” Damon asked the teenager. She was taken by surprise as she had been ignored by the vampire the entire evening. She shyly nodded. “What I would like to know is why you’re following the big bad vampire who scared you to death two weeks ago like a loyal little puppy?”

Mackenzie was speechless. She stared at the vampire with big eyes, incapable of answering him. She would have happily told him it was none of his business if she hadn’t been certain he’d kill her for it.

“Unless, you can’t tell me?” he continued.

“That’s enough,” Elijah stopped him.

“You’re the one who told me to ask her,” Damon defended himself. “So, I’m asking. If he didn’t compel you, what are you doing here?”

“I… I…” she stuttered, but she didn’t even have time to think of an answer as Andie came back with her notebook and her own questions.

“Okay. My first question is, when you got to Mystic Falls…”

But the journalist didn’t have time to finish as Elijah suddenly screamed in pain. It startled Mackenzie who shrieked and jumped on her chair before she saw her history professor had stabbed Elijah in the back. Damon and John got up, neither of them startled by the not so sudden scream of agony coming from the Original vampire. Andie was taken by surprise though, and watched with horror as the thousand year old immortal turned grey.

“What are you doing?!” Mackenzie shouted.

She watched helplessly as Elijah took his last breaths. As he struggled to breathe, so did she. Her eyes grew big as his skin slowly lost its lively colors. Seconds turned to hours as his pain never seemed to come to an end. When he was finally dead, Alaric pulled the dagger out of the vampire’s back and his lifeless body fell to the ground.

“What did you do?” Mackenzie repeated in a whisper as she slowly slid off her chair to kneel by her friend’s body.

Her heart was beating fast in her chest, her body was shaking, still in shock of what had just happened. She didn’t notice the lights flickering in the room. She looked at Elijah’s now grey skin for a few seconds, getting used to the idea that her immortal friend was now dead. She then looked up at her history professor who was holding a silver dagger in his hand. She frowned as she remembered Elijah’s words from a few days before: “The witches created silver daggers. Once stabbed in the heart with them, we will die. Once the dagger is removed, we will come back.” She unknowingly let out a breath of relief when it hit her. Elijah might be dead for now, but he would come back. Just like he came back after Damon killed him the first time in the old house, because he couldn’t be killed. Because he couldn’t die.

A wave of anger took over her. The fact that he stabbed him in the back is what made her so angry. As she stared at the dagger in silence, the light bulbs in the room all exploded, leaving the few candles around as only source of light. She felt it in her even though she didn’t do it on purpose.

“What the hell?” Damon said as he looked around.

She closed her eyes, trying to catch her breath and focus as to not break any more objects. But she could still feel the magic. She could always feel it. It was everywhere. She could feel it in the air, in Damon’s body, in Alaric’s ring and even in Elijah. Just like she could feel the magic from the dead plant at Jonas’, she could feel it from Elijah’s dead body.

Alaric put the dagger down on the table before he said: “Now get rid of him before Jenna comes back with dessert.”

Mackenzie let out a shaky breath. What should she do? She had to do something, but what? There was no way she could stop them from taking Elijah and she had no idea when he would come back to life. She didn’t know what they were planning to do with him while he was unconscious, and she couldn’t take the risk of letting them take him. He needed to come back now.

Jonas’ words echoed in her head: “Time killed that plant, but magic can revive it. Use your magic. You have it in you.”

Mackenzie quickly seized Elijah’s wrist and transferred her magic to him. She had no idea what she was doing but she hoped that she was doing it right.

“What are you doing?” she heard John Gilbert ask.

She had no intention to reply, she just hoped she could finish whatever she was doing before they stopped her.

“Mackenzie?” she heard Alaric call her name, but she didn’t reply, she kept focusing. Because even though she didn’t know what was happening, she knew she needed to do something.

She knew all along this was a trap. She thought Elijah knew too, but he obviously underestimated them, just like she underestimated her professor. She expected something like this from Damon but not from Alaric. Elijah had explained to her that Damon was a troublemaker that would make their task more difficult than it needed to be. But she hadn’t expected this. Elijah had made it clear he couldn’t die nor could he be hurt. Mackenzie knew Damon was going to try something but she had no idea he actually had the means to succeed. Luckily for her, and for Elijah, he didn’t have all the information.

“That’s enough,” Damon mumbled.

He moved, vampire speed, to where Mackenzie was. He seized her and trapped her in his arms, making sure to cover her mouth so that her screams wouldn’t alert Jenna. But as he did so, Elijah gasped his way back to consciousness and got up from the ground, with the same supernatural speed.

He took a painful deep breath before he said in a threatening tone: “Let her go.”

“How are you alive?” was Damon’s only answer.

Elijah then proceeded to seize the vampire hunter by the hair and pushed his face on the dinner table.

“I said, let – her – go.”

“You first,” Damon said, eyeing Alaric.

Mackenzie was trying to free herself from the vampire’s arms, but he was too strong, and the more she moved, the more it hurt. She decided, in a last attempt, to follow her instinct and trust that she could use her powers to defend herself. She put both of her hands on Damon’s arm and decided to use the element of fire against him. It was the power she felt was the strongest at that moment, probably because of the candles burning in the room. The vampire screamed in pain as he let her go. The elemental fell to the ground. As soon as she was free, Elijah let go of Alaric and pushed Damon against the wall.

“I should kill all of you,” he growled, pressing his arm against Damon’s throat.

“What’s stopping you?” the vampire choked.

“Elijah stop!” Mackenzie begged.

The Original vampire scowled as he looked up at the ceiling, trying to calm himself.

“You promised!” she reminded him.

“They broke the deal,” he growled.

“Elena didn’t! You made the deal with her!”

Elijah didn’t reply but he didn’t let go of Damon either.

“You promised,” she repeated in a whisper as she took a step towards him.

He sighed, closed his eyes then took a deep breath, in an attempt to compose himself.

“Yeah, buddy… you promised,” Damon managed to say despite the lack of air in his lungs.

Elijah was about to snap the vampire’s neck when he saw Mackenzie collapse in the corner of his eye.

“Mackenzie!” Alaric called as he saw her pass out.

But the elemental didn’t have time to reach the ground as Elijah caught her in time before he disappeared, running out of the house, vampire speed.

***

When Mackenzie woke up she knew she wasn’t at home. She could tell exactly where she was and who was there. She could feel it.

“She’s waking up,” Luka said.

She was lying on the Martins’ couch, in their apartment. She slowly sat up and brought a hand to her head as she did so.

“Does your head hurt?” she heard Elijah ask.

She nodded. He was sitting in the armchair in front of her, with the silver dagger in his hands.

“What happened?” she asked in a weak voice.

“You gave him too much of your magic, you passed out,” Jonas replied.

“I did it,” she breathed out. “I used my powers.”

“Yes, you did,” Elijah nodded. “But which one?”

She frowned. “What do you mean?”

“You brought him back to life,” Jonas told her. “How did you do that?”

“I did what you said,” she replied. “I used my magic. Just like you wanted me to do with the plant.”

“No,” Jonas shook his head with a severe look on his face, “you can revive a plant because you can control the element of nature. But Elijah? He was dead. The spell that turned him into a vampire a thousand years ago makes it so he can’t stay dead, but he was dead. An elemental cannot bring people back to life.”

“So, you’re saying she used witchcraft?” Elijah asked.

“I don’t know what she used. I have no idea what she did or how she did it.”

“Could it be the element of light?” Luka asked.

“The element of light is witchcraft,” Jonas reminded him.

“Maybe not,” Elijah said. “Maybe that’s not all it is.”

“What do you want me to say, Elijah? I’m not an expert in ultimates. Hell, I thought they were all dead. Whatever she did, she’s the one who can tell you how she did it because I have no clue.”

Elijah sighed. “How are you feeling?” he asked.

“I’m… I’m okay.”

“Come on, I will drive you home,” he said as he got up. “Jonas, thank you for the help.”

“Like I had a choice,” the warlock mumbled.

***

Mackenzie stayed quiet in the car. She was thinking about what had happened at Damon’s house and what Jonas said. It was easy enough for her to know what element she’s using at a particular moment, she can feel it distinctively. As clear as the cold of the snow. As clear as the heat from a flame. But she couldn’t tell what element she used to bring Elijah back. It was just magic. It wasn’t an element like nature, or air. It was different. That was the part that wasn’t written in any of Jonas’ books simply because no one had ever taken the time to write about it. Ultimates were rare. Ultimates were extinct.

“Why did you help me earlier?”

Mackenzie looked up at Elijah, surprised by his question. Surprised she had no answer to give him.

“I… Why wouldn’t I help you?”

“Why would you? It was the three of them against you.”

“I didn’t know what they were going to do with you. When Alaric put the dagger on the table I… I remembered what you said about… how the dagger needs to stay in your heart. I knew you were going to come back but… I didn’t know when. I didn’t know what they were going to do next.”

“If you knew I was going to come back then why did you help me?” he asked again.

“Because….” she started to say. She thought long and hard about her answer and it was so obvious she almost couldn’t see it. “Because I could.”

Elijah didn’t reply, he didn’t know what to reply. He stopped the car in front of Mackenzie’s house and looked out the window looking for Robert’s car.

“Looks like your stepfather isn’t home yet,” he said. “Because I died the compulsion went away. I’ll come back in the morning to compel him again.”

Mackenzie gulped. She was nervous to think she might encounter Robert before Elijah compelled him again.

“Okay… thank you for driving me back,” she said. “Good night, Elijah.”

“Good night, Mackenzie.”

She closed the car door and walked to her house without turning back. She heard Elijah drive away and saw he was indeed gone when she closed her front door. She hadn’t noticed the lights in the kitchen when she came in. If she had, she probably wouldn’t have been surprised to see she wasn’t alone in the house.

“What the fuck did you do to me?” she heard Robert growl behind her.

He pushed her hard and she let out a cry of pain when her head met with the wall. He seized her by the arm and turned her around to face her. Mackenzie blinked several times as she understood what was about to happen. As his fist approached her face dangerously fast, she closed her eyes and raised her hands in an attempt to protect herself.

Robert went flying to the other end of the room and she only realized what she had done when she opened her eyes, confused as to why her face wasn’t already all broken and bloody.

She breathed out, still confused about what had just happened. She stared at the motionless body of her stepfather lying in the middle of the kitchen floor, at the foot of the counter. She stared for what seemed like hours, waiting for him to get back up, but he never did. It didn’t hit her right away. It was only when she saw red liquid around Robert’s head that she realized; he was dead.

“No,” she let out in a shaky breath.

She took one step but then stopped, still afraid he would get up and finish what he had started. Finally, after a few seconds, she rushed towards him. She knelt near him and hesitantly approached her shaky right hand towards his throat, trying to find a pulse. She pressed her fingers on his vein, waiting to feel something, but she never did. She waited and waited, but she felt nothing. After what seemed like an eternity, she let out a cry of horror as tears fell down her cheeks. She felt herself falling backwards and did not realize she had pushed herself away from him.

“Oh my God,” she breathed out in a whisper she could barely hear herself. “Oh my God…”

She covered her mouth with her shaky hands as if she wanted to stop herself from screaming. She started sobbing uncontrollably as her eyes couldn’t move away from the dead man lying in front of her.

After a while of sitting there, on the cold kitchen floor in dead silence, she reached for her phone in her jacket’s pocket and dialed the only number she could at that moment. The only person she could ask help from. The only one who could give her what she needed.

It didn’t take him long to answer, in fact, it took her longer to speak up.

“Mackenzie?” she heard his voice coming from her iPhone.

She didn’t reply right away. She felt like her voice was gone.

“Elijah…” she breathed out shakily.

“What happened?” he asked with a serious tone that didn’t hide his concern.

She sniffed then let out another shaky breath.

“… Help me.”

MY CHOICES OC's IN A FIGHT WITHOUT WEAPONS

Tags: @cadybear420 @somerandomjewelleryonthefloor @choicesmc

Ratings: Strong | Can hold their ground | Can't hold their ground | Flight

Anitha already has battle experience and her magickal ability works in her favor, but if we go without magick or weapons, she is already a Soccer player and a Thief player so she is good at finding weak points from her opponents, and can win the fight if she can plan her tactics well, and deploy them in a neat manner.

Final rating: Strong

Ria is a softie and would try to avoid fights at all costs, but she can go into a rage and give a deadly punch on the nose if provoked in a bad manner. But again, other than a few punches, she can get easily knocked out or thrown off her feet, as her foothold is loose, and she is sensitive to even small blows.

Final rating: Can't hold their ground

Jeremy's tactic would normally be smooth talking his way out of the fight, or would try to seduce his opponent. If all that doesn't work, his dance experience makes him nimble in a battle and his tactic would be to wear his opponent down before engaging in attack mode. He is not the strongest puncher, but it can be enough to throw them off guard.

Final rating: Can hold their ground

Mila already has a history of being into fistfights and I HC that she is a basketball player so her physique would really help her in combat. Additionally, she may look light but she can make it difficult for her opponents to throw her off, or she can slip out of a hold easily, a little trick she learnt from her brother, Carlos. The only problem is that she gets weak when the adrenaline wears off, and can be pushed off.

Final rating: Strong | Can hold their ground

Tanya has karate experience and can knockout her opponents for a temporary amount of time, but wouldn't cause really bad injuries. Her first instinct is to get enough time to escape and to not wear herself out in a physical fight. She is more prone to head injuries and can be down if her opponent knows where to attack her.

Final rating: Can't hold their ground | Flight

Harshith is a doctor and knows a few press points that can throw his opponents off guard, but he is usually very conflict-avoidant and would not use this skill unless its a life-threatening situation. He learns this skill only after the chemical attack in Bk 2, and uses it as a mode of self-defense.

Final rating: Can hold their ground | Can't hold their ground

Jenna gets into self-defense after Jane's death and being constantly bullied in school. Again, she wouldn't raise fists unless she absolutely has to, and would teach her opponent a lesson, but would be very careful to not cause any damage. Additionally, she also gets a fighting lesson from Connor, so she is a bit more confident that she can protect others as well as herself from danger.

Final rating: Can hold their ground

[lover-also-fighter-also]

Jenna would think about it constantly and wished that things happened in a different way. In a way, she was still stuck in the past.

@choicesbookclub

[lover-also-fighter-also]

This goes well with what I thought out for Jenna. She doesn't immediately jump to conflict, and would rather choose to go the passive aggressive route or the cold shoulder or the ignore them route

[lover-also-fighter-also]

Wrong! Jenna has been taking care of herself since she was 9. Cooking is an essential survival skill she learnt on her own

[lover-also-fighter-also]

MEET MY MC: JENNA SALEM

Tagging @choicesficwriterscreations for this MC

Finally, I have started my official playthrough for It Lives in the Woods and here I am introducing my MC, Jenna!

She is half-Pakistani and half-American, and she has more of a milk-white skin tone than what is shown in the sprite, and I HC that she has a lot of scars on her arms, so she prefers to wear full sleeve coats or leather jackets to hide those.

She used to be really socially active and liked the huge friend circle as a kid, but after the Jane incident, she distanced herself from friendships, commitments, and giving promises to people. She preferred to be a lone wolf to avoid anyone else getting hurt because of her. Her parents are always away on some work or the other, so she lived alone and never had the chance to fully process the grief of losing her best friend.

Ava was the only friend that she kept in touch with, and later on their friendship blossomed into romance. She was the only person whom she could share whatever she had in mind without any fear of judgement.

She loves to do pencil sketching, or put on some headphones and blast some Emo or Punk music, or spend some time, tending to injured or sick animals.

I'm planning on having her sacrifice herself to take Jane's place as the new monster, mostly because it goes with her wanting some redemption for not protecting Jane in the first place. She gets revived during the ILW timeline, 5 years after the ILITW time.

[lover-also-fighter-also]

🐈 for any MCs you like

Ask list here

hc + 🐈 for a pet/animal-themed headcanon

For Anitha and Ria check it out here

Canon-wise Jeremy has a hamster, named Richi. But later on I HC that he has a black lab named Shadow.

Mila already has a dog named Snowy in the HSS:CA timeline, but once she and Skye move in, they adopt a black cat.

Jenna finds much more comfort in animals than people. She always loved taking care of her neighbor, Sid's dog Hilda, and would keep him anytime Sid had to go to another town. Additionally, she has a pet crow named Russell and a cat named Charlie

[lover-also-fighter-also]

Like how its so on point for Jenna to be texting Ava a lot of times and making sure she was okay
