Immortal Dilemmas

Chapter 13

Immoral Dilemmas

Hermione had been the one to suggest getting phones as a way to contact and pinpoint each other when magic wasn’t an option. The ones with capability to talk had gotten the same kind of phone with different colored cases. Hailey had black, Hermione had blue, Ron had red, Moony went with amber yellow, and Tonks went with pink. Before leaving everyone made it clear to her that they wanted her to check in if any new occurrences happened. With Damon cornering her, her reunion with Stefan, and her having to separate the fight, she hadn’t any time to check in or think about checking in with Moony and everyone else. Despite him yelling out her name when she picked up his call she could also her the relief in his voice. She felt guilty for making them worried. The vampires were confused as to why someone was yelling at her and almost caused Stefan to take the phone from her to snarl at whoever was on the other side of the phone. He was placated when Hailey threw him a sheepish smile to him.

“WE WERE ALL WORRIED! WHAT HAPPENED?! YOU WERE JUST SUPPOSED TO TAKE A LOOK AROUND!! AND NOW I HEAR ALL THESE RUMORS ABOUT YOU HAVING TO STOP A FIGHT?!?! WERE ARE YOU AND THE TWINS?! I SWEAR IF SOME HOOLIGAN-“, rightfully mortified and embarrassed she cut off her uncle’s fretting, even without enhanced hearing there would be no way that the other occupants in the room didn’t here the worried werewolf. Klaus and Rebekah had an amused face on from hearing how overprotective the caller sound but they were confused as to who it is as they were not informed of Hailey’s family. Stefan had a troubled face on, he was worried that he had already made a bad impression on his mates family by not being there during Hailey’s pregnancy and then with all the rumors around there was no doubt in his mind that they saw him in a bad light. Hailey without noticing Stefan’s face had leaned her head on his shoulder to calm herself down and unknowingly calming her mate down as well.

“Moony! I’m sorry that I didn’t check in but so much happened and I can’t exactly say it over a call. I’ll be back soon and I won’t be alone, please make sure everyone is there.”, she knew that this was news you can’t just spout off over the phone, not to mention with how her uncle was reacting it was best to do it in person. She was mainly worried about how he would react to Stefan. The twins are only half and so far he hasn’t reacted negatively to them but Stefan was a nearly two hundred years old full vampire. He already knew her mate is a vampire but sometimes instinct doesn’t correspond to common sense. She needed to introduce Stefan to her family in a gentle manner, less having to deal with another supernatural brawl. One thing was for certain she will not have her uncle and husband at each other’s throats! While hardening her resolve Stefan tensed up, meeting the family of the girl you love was enough to make any guy anxiety ridden.

“Pup…what’s happened, is anything wrong?!”, Remus was understandably worried the last few months have been shock after shock. He already had grey hairs from the stress of the war and from the twins being born. He had fainted when Tonks told him she was expecting and again at all the babies being born. He wasn’t sure if he would survive another shock. The news of Hailey getting unknowingly married nearly send him into cardiac arrest!

“No, Moony. It’s just that…this is something that everyone needs to hear in person.”, oh sweet merciful Merlin! This had to be payback from all the mischief he had done in school. He could just hear Sirius and James laughing at him from the grave over how much he was fretting. What kind of news would make Hailey want to say it in person. It didn’t help that Tonks and Teddy were laughing and giggling at his expressions over the phone call. He threw his wife a narrowed look and softly scowled at her when she feigned innocence. It didn’t help that Teddy just giggled harder at the interaction. Hailey could hear Teddy and smiled softly, Stefan could as well and imagined what it would be like when the boys would start? They arranged to be at the mansion with Ron and Hermione after Remus got wind of Hailey not having eaten. He will not have her going all over the place on an empty stomach.

At being reminded to eat, Hailey promptly asked Klaus if she could use the kitchen. Klaus had first rejected and offered to have his hybrids make something for her, but she was adamant. He couldn’t very well win the argument so he relented. Stefan had smiled at the domestic argument and beamed when Hailey had told him to hold the boys while she made the food. Soon after he had the boys strapped to his chest and bouncing them them to see the faint smiles on their faces with the Originals trailing after him, hoping to hold the babies again. While Hailey was with Stefan momentarily Klaus had talked to his hybrids and told them to leave Hailey be unless she asked and to not do anything that could expose them. He wasn’t sure if Stefan had told her yet. Back in the kitchen, the hybrids were confused to see a teen girl bouncing around the kitchen but Klaus had ordered them to leave her be. They were okay with being under Klaus, as long as they didn’t betray him they were under his protection.

Tyler was among them and he had broken up with Caroline in order to show his loyalty to the pack, Klaus didn’t endanger their lives every few months. A certain doppelgänger can’t say the same with her family and friends. Even without the sire bond the wolves genuinely feel that Klaus has earned their loyalty, they just feel a little intimidated to actually show it. Klaus was the alpha and had given them the option of not having to go through the transformation every full moon. Non werewolves would never be able to understand how much that means. With how the curse is triggered, it would usually have happened after a tragic accident that already leaves survivor’s feeling guilty to so much more dread. Car crashes, not being fast enough to stop an occurrence, preservation instincts, and just total accidents is how most of the pack triggered the curse. What matters the most to the pack is that the pain is finally gone and loyalty. Klaus has been very adamant that they be careful and protected, he didn’t just want an army he wanted his own family. Tyler was siding with Klaus not just because of the bond but because he’s seen how easily anyone who isn’t just blaring “Team Elena GO!”, is just thrown away by her and her groupies.

His uncle, a guy who used to babysit Tyler and all his childhood friends, a guy Elena knew of her entire life, a guy that was just being manipulated, and wasn’t even considered to be explain to what was really happening. His uncle had been brutally killed by Damon Salvatore and Elena Gilbert didn’t even bat an eye or bother to inform him, he had to learn from Caroline. Another point: Caroline Forbes, Elena’s long time childhood best friend. Elena knew about how Damon was just using Caroline for blood, information, and sex and yet she was still falling in love with him. Caroline was just staying on Elena’s side for loyalty and for that he could respect but she was giving it to the wrong person. Elena only ever thought about what made her happy, must be that Petrova blood. He cared for Caroline , a lot but he knew that they were better as friends. He’s heard and seen how Klaus ‘fancied’ her and was now contemplating on telling him of Damon’s actions. It’s what he was thinking after seeing Klaus’s recent behaviors with the younger Salvatore before his attention was snapped to the ebony haired girl.

What she was making smelled divine and had their inner wolves wagging their tails. She had enjoyed cooking, it would have been loved if not for her relatives. Though when she was making the steak she could see that the people around her were practically drooling. She couldn’t help but ask if they were hungry, they looked equivalent to children who were caught red handed and no one answered until a young man walked up and nodded. He looked around her age and had a minor blush on his face when his stomach had made itself known along with his pack. “Well, I’d be happy to cook up a meal for everyone but I’ll need some help if you lot don’t mind?”, the hybrid pack and Tyler looked between each other and back to Hailey. They all nodded sheepishly and were quickly put to work by the small teen, something in her just compelled them to following her orders. They were divided into four groups. Group one were put to chop up and boil the potatoes to make mashed potatoes. Group two were to chop up vegetables and add seasoning for the salad. Group three, that had Tyler and Hailey, were to make a lot more steak along with a lot of beef. And finally, group four was in charge of baking dessert. The whole time they were joking around, smiles on their faces, and learning more about the new girl. They were hungry hybrids, along with her, three vampires, and her family coming they had enough prepared to feed an army.

The scene the vampires and babies walked in on was nothing short of shocking. They had been trailing Stefan and begging to hold the boys again but he was stubborn and wanted to keep them to himself for a little while longer. Then they had walked in the kitchen to check on Hailey and instead saw her setting up a feast with the hybrids on the very large dining table. All were in smiles and following her word without questioning her. Klaus hadn’t ordered them to do that. It was as if a huge family had taken over the kitchen. And at the center of it all was Hailey Potter. The vampires couldn’t help but marvel at how she easily was handling the pack and how the pack was showing a large amount of respect and awe that was usually reserved for Klaus.

Klaus had cleared his throat and everything halted. He and the others raised an eyebrow. If anything he was slightly envious that the young girl was able to to garner support from his pack. She smiled at them and walked up to Stefan who was still holding the boys. The hybrids were wondering why the younger Salvatore had babies with him. She shocked the hybrids by pecking a besotted Stefan on the lips and kissed the babies foreheads. She looked to the group of vampires and had a sheepish smirk, “Hungry?”, she dipped her finger in some mashed potatoes and proceeded to suck on it innocently.

Stefan’s eyes had darkened with lust at seeing her finger enter and exit her mouth but he shook his head. He couldn’t and wouldn’t do anything until he knew she was ready and healed. She had just given birth and he didn’t know much about childbirth or the female body but he knew that she needed some well deserved rest. They all moved to the very large table and most of everyone was trying to scramble for a seat near Hailey when the doorbell rang. Klaus had nodded to a hybrid to go answer the door, he was half expecting the mystic falls gang to have showed up and was surprised to see new people. He figured they must be Hailey’s family when she went to go greet them. The eldest man had pulled her into a worried hug while the not-so-much older woman looked on in slight amusement with an a year old child with a little sun hat on. There were two others a boy and girl who were the same age as Hailey looking over her then looking over the room. They all possessed eyes that were as haunted as the many soldiers he had seen returned from battle. However a familiar smell had caused him and the hybrids to tense up.

Stefan stood in order to greet Hailey’s family when the hug ended but promptly froze in place when he noticed that her uncle was staring at him with amber eyes. He’d almost forgotten, Uncle Moony is a werewolf. While vampires don’t really react to their presence, wolves definitely do. When her uncle noticed that he was still holding the boys, he started to growl at this Stefan was ready to hiss and clutch the boys close to him, Klaus and his hybrids were close to growling to show dominance. Moony was only able to come out some because of how close the full moon was and because of the threat of a vampire near his pack. He stopped when Hailey decided to step in between them. He (along with the rest of the room) was having a minor anxiety attack at her putting herself in harms way and was ready to rush over when she started speaking in a very soft voice.

“Easy Moony. Look at me.”, she was gesturing over her figure and Moony was tracking her every move. “I’m fine, okay? Everything is fine. He isn’t a threat, he’s protecting the boys and he protected me today. Moony, I need Remus back.”, he growled low at this still glaring at Stefan. He has become protective of what Remus has started to see as family, they were lack now.“Moony! He is mine just as I’m his. Please, he’s important to me and I need to show that to Remus too. I promise, no one in your pack is in danger, okay?”, only at this Moony bowed his head in submission and Remus came back. Hailey walked up to him, ignoring the tense atmosphere of the room, grabbed his shoulders and turned him slightly to Stefan. Both men had a befuddled face on but she continued with, “Uncle Remus, Tonks, Teddy-bear, Ron, and Hermione I’d like to introduce you to my mate, husband, and father of my children, Stefan Salvatore. Stefan I’d like you to meet ‘some’ of my family.”, almost in sync the room had stared and blinked at her. The silence was broken when a snort had broken free from Ron.

In breathless laughter, “Really sis, we need to work on your introductions.”, Ron said.

“I just figured it’s better to get it out…I already know everything about them!”,she said in a pout. Stefan had walked up to her chuckling in near exasperation and proceeded to nuzzle her neck to calm himself a bit. This caused the hybrids to break out of their stupor, why was she saying a vampire was her babies father? If it was before he was turned it would have been believable but Stefan was almost two hundred years old. A braver hybrid had stepped up to question her, Tyler.

“If you know everything than you know it’s not possible for Salvatore to be the father, right?”, he said in some trepidation. He liked the new girl, he hoped that he didn’t make the wrong assumption about her character.

“If I was anyone else it wouldn’t be. But unfortunately I’m the fates favorite chew toy. You see I’m not normal, just like how everyone else isn’t either.”, she might as well tell them now. Stefan said that Klaus and Rebekah stepped up to be his family and she didn’t want to have secrets between them. She learned from the war that secrets were unnecessary and just caused pain in the end. Everyone just raised an eyebrow at her and Stefan, expecting some more explaining. Ron and the others started to help themselves at the table. “You see I’m a witch, everyone in my family hear is a witch or wizard. But we’re different than the ones you’re used to. We refer to your kind as supernaturals and your witches as wiccans.”, still seeing some doubt on Klaus and Rebekah she retrieved her elder wand from her holster. She looked to Stefan who looked confused at her wand, “I never did show you how we were different.”

She saw that her family was ready to see her display as well, they wanted to see how well her magic was doing after the twins being born. She looked to Tyler who had a unimpressed look on his face. “Brace yourself puppy. EXPECTO PATRONUM!”, and just like that the room was filled with a sparkling light, out of the tip of Hailey’s wand emerged a stag. It was a very impressive sight as the stag had emerged walking calmly with a kingly like aura. It then jumped onto an invisible floor that was just above Tyler’s head that caused him to yelp. It trounced on midair before going back to Hailey and bowing its head to her feet and disappearing.

“Just so you know while not being as impressive as her we can all do that as well. Hailey is considered to be the most powerful witch but one thing is for sure we are not the same as the wiccans you have encountered.”, Hermione felt the need, as always to explain, she smacked Ron on the arm when he started to chuckle. He rolled his eyes fondly at her. “We are also not the only ones. There is a whole society of us that are hidden from what we consider the muggle or no-maj world.”, she added after another second of silence. It was finally broken by a hysterical Klaus.

“WHAT THE BLOODY HELL JUST HAPPENED?!?!”, great. Stefan’s turn to deal with a slightly emotional supernatural creature.

Chapter 1 of Hailey Potter x Stefan Salvatore “Immortal Dilemmas”

Ever since she was eleven, she knew that she was not to be considered normal in whatever world she chose to reside in. In one she is reigned a hero, the chosen one, the savior that would come and make everything perfect for everyone. But still she is not treated the same. In the other she is a freak, the delinquent child that her ‘poor’ relatives have to put up with. She had to be alone in both worlds other than a select few. She did not even know of her true origins until the faithful day of her eleventh birthday. She had thought she had finally found a world that would treat her as one of their own only to have been put on a pedestal for something that she barely remembered. But she had no where else to go. Anywhere other than her repugnant relatives vicinity was better. So she stayed and learned that the world that had risen her on pedestal would also not hesitate to turn on her in slightest inclination of her not meeting expectations. She learned to endure it in order to keep those she had made into her makeshift family. So she was tortured, tormented, publicly outcasted, and even had lost some of her beloved family in order for the world that could accept her to stay.

In the end she did what her world wanted, she fought and became their golden girl general. She won the war and was able to keep most of her makeshift family. Her personal causalities were kept to only Sirius. A man she longed to have helped bring her up but was overtaken in anger for the loss of a brother and in the end was lost in battle. Remus and Tonks had prevailed in surviving the battle in order to see their little boy flourish in a world they fought for and ensured for him. Fred and George with some minor damage to their persons had barely made it but prevailed and now live to bring more laughter and mischief to the newly fought for world. She was happy but something was amiss with her. After awakening from Voldemort’s failed attempt on her life she felt different. She felt more in tuned with her magic and while battling with him she felt that her wand wasn’t right with her. It could barely stand the amount of magical power coming from her. After conversing with Ron and Hermione about what to do with the Elder Wand she felt that it was at home in her hand and person. She had never felt a wand fit so perfectly it was why she was wary of it and decided it was best to snap it. But as she was walking back to the doors of Hogwarts she felt a sudden weight in her hand. And to her shock it was the Elder Wand in better condition than she had seen it within Voldemort’s hand. She kept her gasp quiet but it still captured the attention of her best friends.

“Hailey? What is it, are you alright?! Your not injured from any wayward spells are you ?!?!”, said her sister in all but blood and law frantically.

“ I’m fine Mione, it’s just…”, Hailey started to trail off as she held up the Elder Wand for her friends to see. The looks on her friends faces would have been hilarious if she wasn’t so focused on the wand that made itself at home in her hand.

“Bloody hell… Hailey you have to make sure that no one knows you have it, or else they’ll go after you again.”, Ron said in a panic. He just fought a war with his best friend he wasn’t sure if he could handle fighting off the rest of the world with her too. She just stood there in shock before placing the wand in her holster and making sure it was concealed under her sleeve and out of sight. She nodded to them and they continued walking to Hogwarts, shoulder to shoulder, their habits while on the run are going to be hard to shake off. As soon as they entered the makeshift recovery area and former great hall they were acknowledged but left alone as people were trying to heal and hopefully find friends and loved ones. Hermione had a look in her eye that screamed to her and Ron that she wanted to do research. They made their way to the library, finding anything they could on the elder wand and even checked the restricted section. Until Ron had bumped into a shelf that had dropped a black leather book. When he picked it up and checked the cover there was a familiar sigma on it. In gold etching was a circle in a triangle both being parted by a vertical line, the deathly hallows sigma. He immediately brought the book to his girlfriend and pseudo sister.

“What about this one?”, he said bringing the book to Hermione’s and Hailey’s attention. Hermione started skimming it until a page that had caught her attention.

“As it is stated in the original tale a brother passed down his gift from death. However there will be a day in which a descendent will be in ownership of all three hallows making them the Master of Death. And they along with a creature of death will be able to bring the next heir of Death. The Master of Death will be in decision of when the heir may take the title. But the hallows will not be able to be taken away from the true master.”, Hermione said reciting the book in shock of what this could mean for Hailey.

“WHAT?!? YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT I AM NOW THE MASTER OF DEATH?!?”, Hailey said sounding on the verge of hysteria. A thousand thought were swirling around her head and they were turning for the worst. What if people found out and tried to hurt her family. After everything they’ve been through don’t they deserve to get a peaceful life. Noticing that she was getting paler and breathing becoming erratic, Ron took a hold of her shoulders and looked into her eyes to attempt to calm her down.

“Hails look at me. We are going to figure this out. And we are going to see how this affects you. We always find a way. Okay?”, he said gently as to not startle her. After hearing her brother’s reassurance, her breathing calmed down and she regained some color but she was still filled with worry. After that they kept searching through every book they could find on the deathly hallows but all pointed to that she was now the Master of Death. They learned additionally that she could no longer age and cannot die by normal means. Only when death is willing to take her will she’ll be able to join the afterlife. Learning this had send Hailey down an even bigger spiral, she had been looking through the book and her friends had noticed she had froze entirely and they were about to ask what she had found when she had accidentally apparted in her distress. When she landed it was in an open area with a single road surrounded by a nature. She had no idea where she is but she wanted to clear her mind and not head back yet so she started to wander in the unfamiliar setting. She headed down the road aimlessly and looked to the sky. It looked a lot sunnier than what she was used to seeing in London. She was walking for about half an hour when she started to hear a car speeding down the same road she walking on. The driver seemed to had noticed her, which should be Impossible as they were going way too fast but she wouldn’t realize that as she was in a daze, the car had slowed down and stopped right beside her.

“Hey! You okay? Need a ride to town?”, said the driver of a red 1963 Porsche 356B Karmann Coupe… she and Sirius had bonded over vehicles, consequently along with the Black fortune, titles, and seats he left her with his flying bike. The driver had an American accent. He was definitely a he and an attractive he at that. Brown hair, from what she can see it was cut short in the back and on the sides and it was longer on the front. He had green eyes as well, not like hers but still a nice green with a bit of blue. He was fit and wearing a grey t-shirt with a leather jacket over it with some faded blue jeans and black boots. With her analysis done she looked back up to his face and could see he was still waiting for an answer, she made it up on the spot.

“Hi! Yeah I could use a ride I got into a crash a while back and my… phone broke so I couldn’t call anyone.”, did she really forget what a phone was and called. A car drive could help clear her head a bit more, she wasn’t worried about her personal safety. She was a war veteran witch and a newly appointed Master of Death she could handle herself.

“Hop in. I’m Stefan, Stefan Salvatore.“, Stefan said with an empty smile and cold eyes while offering his hand once she was seated in his car.

She took his hand and replied, “Hailey Potter, pleased to meet you Mr.Salvatore.”

“Please, just Stefan.”, as their hands touched a bond had started forming. Unknown to them the person beside them would be tied to them for the rest of their immortal lives.

Chapter 21

He was heavily panting though no one could really blame him as what he had just achieved took him months and a tremendous amount of willpower, he was no Hailey but he was able to pull through. He had to move quickly before him mother noticed he had disappeared from the manor. He had at most an hour, he had done well in getting her used to him ignoring her for a small amount of time but she would eventually notice. Without looking back he ran as far as he could away from the manor to avoid his mother hearing him. As soon as he felt that he was a good distance away he apparated to Diagon Alley and headed straight to Gringotts to finish what his father had started.

***a few hours later in Mystic Falls***

What was once a quiet and tranquil abandoned mansion deep in the forest was now an area subjugated to the ranting and complaining of one Lucius Malfoy. He was berating the original mother for having thought of such an unstable plan and internally himself for even thinking that with all her years she would have some sort of wisdom. A fat load of dragon dung did her wisdom help in deterring the Potter family! If anything this could be seen as a minor setback to the family and just make them come closer together.

“Arghhh! Worthless vampire! She couldn’t even do any actual damage what was the point of even using her?! A compulsion spell should have been enough to cause at least some bodily harm. I thought you said that the boy was younger than her, shouldn’t he have been weaker?!”, it was quite the unattractive look for Lucius, his face was red with furry clashing terribly with his platinum blonde hair. Esther was of the same state not caring to being talked to as if an underling but needing the abominations momentarily put up with some of the undermining talk. But she needed him to know or at least think that the plan wasn’t entirely pointless.

“He is younger and he should have been weaker than her! No doubt that my abominations have something to do with it. But fret not dear Lucius, now that they’ve dealt with that waste of space their guards are let down.”, her face was set in displeasure at the thought of her mistakes but turned into a sinister smirk, which Lucius hesitantly copied.

“Which will be the perfect time for us to get them. That harlot Potter just had to spread her legs for that undead filth. Now instead of having to just get rid of her mate we need to rid her of those filthy halflings! She’ll be distraught enough that my son can easily swoop in and claim her.”, it was considered absolute sacrilege to even consider harming a child of the magical community, but to find out that his son had lost his chance to impregnate Potter made him absolutely mental. Even more so with the ridiculous creature protection laws but Lucius Malfoy is determined to have Hailey Potter under his boot or at the very least gain her position of power in their community. He’s willing to even do the world a great service by getting rid of the plague of vampirism. He was thinking up a plan and voicing them to Esther when Perseus ran in.

“Malfoy! I have some news from home! It’s terrible, your son is rebelling!”, Parkinson said while In between pants. Lucius had thought ahead in keeping up with the news back home and got the Prophet to deliver them. He rushed back to their dingy base once he had read the news, Draco had been able to break out of his father’s imperious orders and get to Gringotts to declare his father unfit to run family affairs. Lucius had never before whipped around his head so fast and had never turned red so quickly.

“What?!??!”, after reading the article his face once again became red with anger but it was more intense and clashed even more horribly with his platinum hair. He ripped the paper to bits and shouted out. He then proceeded to break anything in the room the muggle way. Esther sat back on a recently transfigured chair and rubbed her forehead tiredly as she watched the damage unfold. Things had gotten a lot more difficult.

*****

Everyone was on edge even though Katherine had been dealt with, it wasn’t enough to ease all their nerves. The Originals were told about how Hailey’s immortality worked. Like Klaus they assumed that it worked similarly to theirs: eternally youthful but still very much killable. When in fact hers was true immortality: She was unable to stay dead. But it still made them worried, Stefan had felt the bond tear painfully and then mere minutes after become somewhat mended. He had gone feral and Klaus worries about his mentality if Hailey died again but came back again. One thing was for certain, the couple didn’t want to be apart and clung onto each other harder than before and everyone was happy Katherine was gone, well almost everyone.

When Damon and Elena came to everyone was gone but Katherine had been left behind. Seeing as how she was still breathing made the Originals question why they were just leaving her free. The wizards then explained the terrifying powers of the dementors, in their mere presence you shall fear the coldness of death and relive your worst memories. Their kiss, however, was much worse. A dementor kiss meant that your very soul was to be sucked out and it leaves the victim as nothing more than a living husk. Bill tried to say to make them understand is that she was like a brain dead patient: living but no chance whatsoever to recover. That gave the barely enough assurance they could leave her…she’ll eventually just die on her own.

Damon was more erratic and frantic than Elena had ever seen before. They had heard the whole explanation of what Potter did to Katherine. While apart of her is horrified of what Potter is capable of another part is silently thankful that Katherine won’t be able to harm her anymore. Damon, however, looked absolutely distraught. He was kneeling near Katherine and holding her close but she was just…there. Damon had thought to bring her blood to maybe get some reaction but nothing he did had gotten her to even flinch. Internally, Elena was sneering at the scene but outwardly she had a look of remorse. How dare Damon lead her on when he still had feelings for Katherine. (Pot calling the kettle black)

She stepped forward to put her hand on his shoulder when he looked like he had given up but she was unpleasantly surprised and terrified when Damon had stood up quickly and hissed at her. “DON’T TOUCH ME, ELENA!”, it’s as if Damon’s golden image that he had been carefully crafting was breaking apart. He had tried so hard to play the bad boy turned good to get Elena. Katherine had long made her decision and showed that he was really nothing to her other than a plaything but Elena…she looked just like her and to Damon that was enough. He was even planning to slowly turn her and change her personality to be more like Katherine. But seeing the real deal practically dead at his feet cause everything to start breaking in his head.

“Damon?!”, she was startled and flinched back, she didn’t notice the flash of remorse in his eyes but was immediately replaced by anger.

“She gone Elena! Everything I have ever done was to have HER and now she’s gone!”, he was started to let angry tears out.

“But, Damon you still have-“, she tried to appeal to him, if anything to calm him down.

“You’ll never be her! You could never replace her! I can’t believe I was stupid enough to believe that YOU could ever be enough!”, his chest heaving he sped out of the house. He needed a drink, a strong one and maybe a few sorority girls. He left Elena alone and for the first time she really realized that she was alone. Everyone had either distanced themselves or turned on her, she was alone. A small creak came from the entrance and her heart leaped maybe Damon had realized that she was not a replacement. But her look of hope turned into confusion… and a hint of fear.

“Who are you?”

*With Hailey Potter*

The Potter mansion had been filled to the brim once everyone one decided that there was safety in numbers to if anything to ease paranoia. It turned out Katherine had fed from a member of the pack, just as Hailey feared, but Katherine luckily just drained him and then snapped his neck. So long without appropriate amount of blood would have made anyone look appetizing to a vampire. The Originals got to see first hand how much their brother’s pack meant to him. Klaus had went into a slight panic but was placated once the young hybrid had recovered.

It had been about a month since the incident. The pack, after learning what Katherine had done and was planning to do to the twins, had become a bit more protective and took their patrols a lot more seriously. Hailey was thankful but she didn’t want to spend time away from her new home. She had just gotten everything to feel like home, moving portraits of her ancestors were hung up, family heirlooms were placed in their respective areas, and most importantly the final extension to the mansion was finished. Since even before becoming the mistress of death she had a connection to Thestrals that she couldn’t explain. It was only until after it made sense why the Thestrals had practically herded themselves around her in CoMC and why they would even go as far as to allow her to touch their wings and ride them.

She had gotten an extension to the mansion property that was completely invisible to the muggles. She had decided to keep a herd of thestrals and they had just arrived and was bonding with her and the others but the the whole fiasco happened. She didn’t want to just leave her herd. The hybrids and the originals let her know that they understood completely. Next thing she knew she was opening the door to let them in to indulge their protective nature.

Stefan was another story. They had been able to move them to their room after Hailey had passed out and the small family had been left to cuddle and just enjoy her presence and breathing until she could wake up. When she woke, Stefan had calmed down and was no longer running on instinct and the boys had taken the chance to start attempting to hold their heads up by themselves. She had unshed tears in her eyes as she drew them close to her, utterly relieved that she was able to save her boys and keep Stefan stable.

But she couldn’t help but chuckle at Stefan’s recent habit of following her around like a lost puppy. When cooking in the kitchen, he was seated at the granite island watching her until he decided he was too far and held her around the waist until she was done. When attending to the thestrals he would trail behind her and be holding her hand while she pet and primed them. The thestrals seemed amused by it. Even when just looking after Cedar and Caelan he can’t seem to help himself, it seemed Stefan needed a constant reminder that she was moving and breathing right in front of her. She didn’t know how to address the problem, she loved the physical presence of her husband but she was worried about his mental health. She knew that perhaps he needed a night to distract himself. Maybe a night out would do him some good, prove to him that they can still be out and about without worrying about her keeling over.

He’s hesitant about going out. At home he has his family and it was his safe place but he won’t lie it would be nice to go out, he’s beginning to go a little stir crazy. He just wants to keep Hailey safe, her whole life she’s had to look after herself and for others. He just wants her to know that he’s there and she’s his to take care of and look after. But one night out with just him and his wife won’t kill anybody…

He agreed and he was happy that he had said yes as his wife had smiled at him so sweetly. She didn’t want to start him off on something big like traveling out of town. She wanted to ease him into a safer mindset not full on catapult him, so she thought maybe something familiar would help. She advised a small night out, then said with a faint blush, “We could treat it like a date? I was never really with anybody before you and I was hoping to go on a real date like I used to see on the television?”, she rarely did it but when she was younger while sneaking out of her cupboard to swipe some food from the kitchen she would sometimes turn the tv on and put the volume all the way down to watch it. It was once the most thrilling did she did before getting into Hogwarts.

His heart melted at how excited she was for something so simple. “What kind of date do you have in mind?”, he smiled at how she perked up at his question.

“I’ve always wanted to go to the cinema! I was never allowed to growing up and there isn’t anything like it in the wizarding world! And maybe we could grab something to eat after, I always heard from my relatives at how ridiculous movie theater food prices were.”, his smile turned into a small frown when he heard this she wasn’t allowed to but her relatives had gone? He rarely ever hears her speaking of her relatives but there was never a kind story or fondness spoken of by Hailey. Before she noticed his frown he snapped his previous face back on. The Ripper in him wanted to personally meet with her relatives, he made a mental note to speak with Klaus about it.

“Sounds like a plan, movie then dinner shall I pick you up and bring you back by curfew to ensure your brothers we weren’t up to mischief?”, he said in a teasing tone to help ease his personal atmosphere. He didn’t expect for her to smack his arm lightly with a smirk on her face.

“What else kind of mischief could we possibly get into? Me lose my purity? I’m sure our boys prove otherwise, us getting hitched in Vegas? We’re already married!”, she said with laughter. It wasn’t long until he joined in as well. They assembled everyone into the drawing room and told them their plans on a night out. They protested at first until Hailey started to glare at everyone. Stefan squeezed her shoulder and stepped up.

“We know you just want to protect us but we’d like some alone time.”at the kicked puppy expressions on everyone’s faces he was quick to add in some comforting words. “How about if a few of you come along like a silent security detail? We still get a semi private time and you guys can look after us? But not all of you we still need babysitters for the boys!”, everyone agreed and started to draw straws at who can go and who could stay. He looked to Hailey who was just shaking her head fondly at the scene. It was set that four hybrids would come with them, with Tyler included. And two hybrids would be the main caregivers for the boys for the night. Main ones since it was impossible to say that any of the hybrids could resist coming up to play with the boys however short a time.

He was starting to get excited as he started getting ready, a date with his wife. He dressed in a pale blue polo shirt with his favorite black leather jacket over and wore a pair of dark denim pants. He was looking for his dark boots when his wife came into the closet as well to find a pair of shoes. He looked at her dress and admired how stunning she was. Hailey decided to wear the new dress Becca had gotten her, a black long sleeve clasi mesh insert square neck flare hem dress. She paired the dress with her now ever present family pendant and her recently found platform chunky high heels. She hasn’t worn heels since Bill’s wedding but it a special occasion might as well. She didn’t notice how her husband was admiring her when she bend down to get her shoes. She stood up and proceeded to her vanity to put her hair up, she decided to have her bangs on display and have the rest of her hair tied in a ponytail.

She smiled at Stefan when she noticed him coming up behind her in the mirror. He leaned down once she was finished and placed a kiss on her pulse point with his arms coming around her waist. She turned slightly to place a kiss on the corner of his mouth. He went in for a deeper kiss but was indignant when she placed her hand on his mouth. “Uh uh! We don’t want to be late now do we love?” He groaned exaggerating his dismay at not being able to have his wife’s lips. She smirked at him teasingly and went to get him his recently acquired pendant. She snapped it on his neck and tapped his nose. “In due time luv.” He smiled and extended his arm gentleman like. She linked her arm with him and they both walked down to meet with everyone. She hoped everyone would like the new movie she had chosen for them to watch. It was exciting from what she heard about it, though what a strange name, Fast and the Furious.

It was certainly exciting and Hailey was practically entranced. Since she was 11 she focused primarily on the wizarding world so seeing the movie was a culture shock. Stefan and her whispered during the film about how impressive the cars were. Stefan had enjoyed it as he got to see cool cars and snuggle with his wife in the dark. He also got to see how much of an adrenaline junkie his wife was at her smiling very hard in the race scenes. The hybrids wanted to give them some space so they split up into different corners of the theater where they had a clear view of the couple without interfering with them. Stefan’s only problem was that people kept staring at them or specifically his wife. He tensed up and it took Hailey giving him a kiss to calm him down. At seeing how uncomfortable Stefan was getting she glared at anyone who was watching them, Stefan relaxed as he felt the stares leave them. He smiled apologetically at Hailey but she just smiled and placed a kiss on his cheek for his troubles.

By the time the movie ended Stefan made eye contact with each of the hybrids and a swift head motion to show that they were about to leave. Hailey had the right idea of him not being ready to go to some faraway fancy restaurant and the Mystic Grill had good fries. He sent a quick text to Klaus and the others that they were fine and on the move. He got a lot of ‘be safe’ text from them in response, it brought a smile to his face. His overprotective family demanded a picture of them. He and Hailey posed in a typical teen fashion and sent it off. Hurrying to his car as his hearing had picked up her tummy rumbling. She was blushing since she knew he heard it.

*At the Mystic Grill*

It was a quiet night for once at the grill, Stefan was a little worried as he never had seen the grill this empty before. Hailey pointed out that it was a school night and Hermione had said it was also close to some sort of mid year test going on. So most of the usual occupants are home. He relaxed a bit at the explanation, he was glad the hybrids had came, it felt good to know that there was backup near. Hailey had chosen a booth to sit at, she was really going for a cliche date but he smiled at how cute she was trying to make it happen. A server came and took their order, Hailey immediately ordered some pie on the side of her burgers and fries and Stefan asked his burger be on the rare side. Stefan recently had taken an interest in what the wizarding world offered for creatures. He was originally mad at how his sons would be treated because of their lineage but he was glad that Hailey had people back home that were determined to make it fairer for them. After hearing that news he couldn’t help be curious about what was happening and he was insanely curious about the magical world in America. Hailey chatted about it excitedly, she hasn’t gotten a chance to really explore the magical world in America so she proposed maybe she could take him on a ‘magical’ date. The corny joke made them both laugh which slowly died down as there was a sudden bang coming from the entrance of the grill. Stefan saw the hybrids stand up quickly and soon he found out why. Damon was at the entrance of the grill and Stefan had never seen him looked so unhinged.

Just worked on this don’t know if it’s good but you know I’m kinda proud of it

Cedric was not one that could be angered easily. But tonight, he had nearly blew a gasket. When he had asked Cho Chang to be his date it was more of a ploy to try and get over his first ( and only) love... and to maybe get her a little jealous. But the tables were turned as soon as he saw who Viktor Krum had brought as his date. Viktor had brought Harriet Potter ( love of Cedric’s life) as his date with a smug smirk on his face when looking at Cedric. It took everything in Cedric not to demand answers from Krum and even more to not abandon Cho in favor of stealing Harriet. After glaring and hoping a hole would burn into Krum’s head, he turned his head slightly to take in Harriet’s appearance. She was naturally beautiful and did not care for makeup and other girly things. But seeing her dressed up for the Yule Ball absolutely took his breath away. She was dressed in emerald green gown that had made Slytherin girls green with envy and Slytherin boys drool and trip over themselves.

Gorgeous, could not begin to describe how she looked. One would wonder if Harriet had Veela lineage. Seeing her so beautiful but for another man made Cedric feel something twist painfully in his stomach and boil his blood. Through out the night he had made sure that Krum had made no advancements on his lioness. He hardly made an effort to pay attention to Cho. If he had he would of noticed her scowling at Harriet and trying to divert his attention back to her.

Viktor’s POV

It was quite amusing to see the foolish badger looking territorial. I had asked Harriet to the ball after finding her crying in a library secluded table. After coming to this foolish school, I could find that many of it’s residents were just downright frustrating to deal with. However, I had met Harriet and her friends. Her lot and her knew that I was just another person, so we had become quick friends. Harriet is the sister I always wanted so, seeing cry just made me so furious with Diggory. After the fist task a lot of people had begun to see that my darling little sister did not willingly enter her name but Diggory was still hesitant to come and apologize to her. She looked so sad that he had asked another girl to the ball that I just had to do something. Not to mention this was the perfect way to keep all unworthy boys away from my precious sister. After all despite what my sister thinks she is actually very desired through out the school. I was pulled out of my musings when I felt someone staring at me. I turned around to see stormy gray eyes of my fellow champion. I wanted to mess with him a little so I did what would probably rile any guy up. I put my arm around my honorary sister’s waist and whispered in her ear.

“ I would rather be playing some quidditch with you instead of this boring ball, after all you are probably the only one that could match my skill here.”, I saw from the corner of my eye Diggory tensing up and looked like he was going to stomp his way towards us If he hadn’t been held back by that infuriating girl, Cho Chang.

“ Same, I would rather be flying through the air than having my feet on my ground.”, Harriet had whispered back to me with a beaming smile on her face. That smile alone caused my heart to melt at how adorable she is. And from my field of vision it looked like I wasn’t the only one affected. Boys all over the hall were getting slapped upside their head for staring at Harriet. But the best reaction was Diggory‘s he looked absolutely transfixed on Harriet that he didn’t notice Cho huff at him with frustrated tears in her eyes. Ah, it is always a pleasure in giving people a taste of their own medicine.

Cedric’s POV:

It hurt so much to see her smile like that to another man. Despite being Hufflepuff’s poster boy, I am still a man ( that happens to be a little possessive when it comes to my lioness). I know I broke up with Harriet but I wasn’t thinking clearly and was hurt when I heard all the rumors going around school. I should have known better but I wanted this chance to prove that I was good enough to be her first and only boyfriend. But seeing her so friendly with the Viktor Krum made me wonder if I was really worth being her only boyfriend — no, I refuse. I am going to prove that I am worthy of loving her. I just need to prove to her that she is the only one for me and that I would only ever truly love her. But I already messed up by bring Cho, maybe I could just leave early and tell Cho that we should just be friends. Hufflepuff reputation of being kind aside, I just wanted my fierce lioness back and hopefully she still wants her ridiculous badger. I turned to face Cho to get it over with because a second more of seeing Krum whispering and giggling with my lioness is starting to cause me to see red and not the good kind like Harriet’s quidditch uniform. As I turned to look at Cho for the fist time since I saw Harriet enter the hallway on Krum’s arm and I see a weird look in her eye, better get this over with, NOW.

Cho’s POV:

Cedric was finally looking at ME. Not that glorified Potter. I don’t get why all the boys seem to be fawning over her. She was pretty sure but usually Potter doesn’t even care to look presentable during school. Unlike me, in which I make sure that I look nothing less than 110%. So when Cedric took his eyes off his horrendous ex, I couldn’t contain my excitement.

“Hey... um... “, why was he being so awkward? Was he going to apologize for ignoring me or maybe even better ask me to be his new girlfriend, I know I would be much better at it than Potter.

Oh! I can already see our future together the wedding, the house and even our-

“I’m going to turn in Cho, I’m pretty tired. Thanks for being such a good friend —“. I couldn’t process anything my dear Cedric said after that.

He wasn’t going to ask me out?! But why?!?! I am literally the most perfect girl for him! It MUST be because he was still under that chit Potter lover spell. Oh my poor Cedric! Don’t worry darling, I will be there when you finally realize that I am truly the one for you. I looked up to see Cedric had an expected face, he was waiting for my response.

“ Don’t worry Cedric you just go back to your dorm and get some rest. Merlin knows you deserve it.” I said with a forced smile on my face. I watched him with concentrated eyes as he walked back to his dorm. Blasted Potter was still on Krum’s arm acting so innocent, if she’s innocent then Snape actually loves Gryffindor.

Draco’s POV:

Blasted Krum, how dare he just show up to my school and think he can have anybody he wants. Potter should be on my arm showing her how much better than Diggory I was. But instead she’s on the arm of that brute. She looked absolutely gorgeous and had a lot of the male population’s eyes on her through out the ball, it just made me want to scream and hex said male population for daring to look at her. I wanted to ask her to the ball since I knew Diggory had asked Cho but word got around that Potter had a mystery date and rejecting any and all invites. It had made me burn with rage that I had originally plotted to hex whoever her date was when they finally showed their stupid face. Seeing as her date turned out to be Krum threw my plan out the bloody window. Damned Krum, my father will hear about this.

Chapter 6

Immortal Dilemmas

*Hailey Potter*

Once they were able to revive Ron, Hermione had to talk him down from trying to hunt down Stefan. She had to remind him Stefan is a vampire and probably wouldn’t take kindly to someone trying to give him the shovel talk. He begrudgingly agreed, muggle vampires were a lot stronger and faster than magical ones. There was even a rumor that they can control minds. He sat back down and looked towards Hailey, who was holding a hand to her stomach and lost to thought. He was worried for his sister, there hasn’t been a vampire born child in ninety years. The ministry had banned vampires and witches from producing more, they were going to have to add that to the list of what to fix.

“Hailey, other than the family and a few people you cannot tell anyone about this. The ministry already is in fear of you rising in power if they catch wind of this they’ll paint you as a Dark Lady.”, the ministry would not hesitate to take something that made Hailey happy to turn everyone against her.

“He’s right Hailey until we can fix and dig out corruption in the ministry you have to keep everything under wraps. The Daily Prophet, no doubt would also judge you for being so young and already becoming a mother without being married.”, the wizarding world is still in the dark times so while her age is a minor issue it was more to do with her not being married and producing an illegitimate heir that would inherit a massive fortune and the titles of the most powerful families. So they immediately started planning, Hailey was not going to put her child at risk. Phase one, was to tell the family about …everything. Phase two, take Hailey to Hogwarts to see Madam Pomfrey. Phase three, do more research and find information about half vampire children that could come in handy. It’s a vague plan but with Hailey in the equation it’s best to not have a detailed plan. She didn’t feel comfortable with the glamour constantly on. So she borrowed Hermione’s pallet of the twins makeup products that could hide marks on the skin pretty well.

“Hailey…I want you to know that no matter what happens with everyone downstairs Ron and I will have your back, we always will.”, they’ve had their ups and downs but it has always felt it was the three of them against the world. But maybe after the conversation downstairs it can hopefully grow into their family against the world. With it settled the trio hesitantly made their way back down to everyone in terse silence. It looked like everyone had decided to wait for them downstairs, and fill the living room with idle chatter. Remus and Tonks had came when the trio was still having their discussion. They had little Teddy with them, seeing him made Hailey wonder about her own child. Would they be a boy or a girl, would they take after her or Stefan more? A poke to her arm brought her out of her thoughts. Since the war had barely ended, everyone was still tense but if she didn’t do it now she knew she’d never be able to later. She cleared her throat and the chatter quickly ceased, a habit that everyone in the order developed. She took quick glances around the room, everyone was either sitting down or leaning on something and all were staring at her waiting for whatever she has to say. Though Remus’ gaze seemed a little more intense than the others, like he was trying to figure out a puzzle. Hailey remembered that while Remus was in his human stage he still had some senses from Moony. She realized that he may be able to smell Stefan on her… and maybe even the pregnancy. She needed to say everything before he blurts something out in shock…or anger. She took a deep breath.

“Everyone in this room has my upmost trust but…the information that I’m going to tell you is too important to be risked, I know that we’ve just gone through hell but this is me asking you as my family…to swear on your life and magic for this.”, gasps travelled through the room, even in the war Hailey hadn’t ask them to make a magical oath. She had said any information they had was not worth their lives, it was better for no one to know anything than have to take drastic action. Whatever she was going to tell them must mean more to her than the world. One by one everyone stood and raised their wands to their chest.

“I vow on my life and magic, that whatever Hailey Potter tells me will not be repeated to anyone not in this room or without her permission. So I say it so mote it be!”, Hailey had said and everyone recited her words. With the oath done she let out a breath of relief, that was one less thing to worry about.

“Now as you all know during the battle Vol-Tom had battled me. What you don’t know is that the wand that he was using had used to belong to the Headmaster. Tom had thought that with him killing Snape, he would come to own the wand. He was wrong. While Snape had done the killing blow it was Draco that disarmed Dumbledore.”, everyone had shocked and stunned faces besides the trio. Molly had noticed that Ron and Hermione weren’t shocked at the news. While everyone else was treated as soldiers, the trio had to become teen generals, they had more information about how the war went than anyone. Molly felt intense sorrow that her children, blood or not, had to go through a war and carry such a burden.

“At Malloy Manor when we were taken, we had ran into Draco. Seeing as he lied when he was asked to identify me, I did him a solid and just disarmed and petrified him. With me disarming him the wand had recognized that Draco was defeated even though he wasn’t using it. The wand became mine. When I was fighting Tom the wand had recognized me. It would not harm it’s master. After the battle I had planned to just snap it, it was too powerful to have in this world. But…it came back to me, good as new.”, everyone,excluding the trio, had gone stiff…there was only one wand that could have that much power but it wasn’t supposed to be real. Ignoring the stiff stances she continued.

“When I had disarmed Draco…I had unknowingly started the course of a prophecy. One that was so old I doubt that it was in the Department of Mysteries. It had stated that a descendant of the last brother would one day come into possession of all the Deathly Hallows making them the Master of Death, unable to be claimed by Death until Death deemed them ready…what people don’t realize is that if you go far enough into the Potter family history, you’ll find that a Iolanthe Peverell had married into the family. I had inherited the cloak from my father, I had obtained the wand from Draco,…and I had gotten the stone from Voldemort.”,Hailey stopped herself from saying the rest of the prophecy. She needed to gauge everyone’s reaction to her new title before saying anything else. She almost flinched when Molly had drew her into a hug and everyone had either joined in or was standing in a very close circle around her. She was startled when sh heard muffled crying. Molly was crying into her shoulder and everyone else was either trying to hold back their tears or hold back the curses that they wanted to throw at the world in anger at the unfairness. All Hailey had ever wanted was to be happy and settle down. How could fate be so cruel to her?

But Hailey was relieved at their reactions. At least no one looked afraid of her, it was more like they were afraid for her. While she was taking in the reactions she was pulled into a bear hug by Remus who had finally calmed down enough to go and hug her. But then, Remus took a big breath in through his nose. Both him and Hailey stiffened in realization. Before the battle he had been able to drag her into a hug, she had smelled of innocence and of floral fragrances. But now…while she still had her floral fragrance, her…innocence…was…GONE!?!? It was replaced by a musky woodsy scent and another scent that had smelled familiar but before he could place it Hailey put a firm hand on his forearm. He looked to her and was going to start sprouting off about ‘where the hell was the guy?’ and ‘what in the world happened last night?’ but a stern look from stopped him. He would respect her demand to wait, but they will be having the conversation. Once he was seated like everyone else, he had casted a quick look towards his wife and son. Ron and Hermione flanked her, showcasing the image of them readying to step in front of her if necessary. Everyone grew worried as Hailey started to speak again, what else has happened?

“When I found out we were in the library, I had freaked out and panicked. My magic reacted to it and accidentally apparated me. When I landed, I was in Oregon, America near a small town. I thought I could use some time alone to think about everything. I was wandering for a while before a guy had pulled up to me in his car asking if I needed a ride.”, she was met with several ‘you should know better’ looks. She just rolled her eyes. Stefan was impulsive but he didn’t intend hurt her. Thinking of him made her heart yearn and she had to continue before she got lost in remembering him.

“In order to break the silence we started talking and really connected on an emotional level. We got into some heavy topics about our past. So in order to help us get distracted he offered to go drinking-“ before she could continue all the guys had started spewing curses and yelling out questions about this ‘guy’. She just cleared her throat again and continued.

“We talked some more. But soon enough we had left the bar. I really like Stefan, he was pretty cute and I had some liquid courage…I kissed him.”, the females of the room had started to squeal and demand Hailey that she had to tell them more later. She started to get irritated when she overheard about how brutal Fed and George were planning to prank Stefan.

“Leave him alone! I had made the first move, you can’t do anything when I initiated it.”, they were quick to stop…for now.

“Now what I’m about to say, I need you all to not freak out. There is more to the prophecy then me becoming the Master of Death. It had stated that with me and a creature of death…we would be able to…produce…the Heir of Death.”, it was so quiet that she could have heard a pin drop, she just needed to rush through and get it done.

“Last night, Stefan and I…we had…sex. You see turns out Stefan is a muggle vampire, making him a creature of death. And with me as the Master and him the Creature we were able to make the Heir!”, she said with haste in her last sentence. She waited until she felt Hermione and Ron pull her behind them. The explosion she was expecting had finally blew. Though she was expecting Ms.Weasley to start shrieking, she was surprised to find Remus to be louder.

“HAILEY JAMIE POTTER!! ARE YOU SAYING THAT YOU ARE PREGNANT WITH A RANDOM VAMPIRE’S CHILD?!?”, Remus was infuriated. Teddy had started to cry but he was quickly calmed down by Tonks. That’s what that other smell was! He had thought it was familiar, he had smelled it on Tonks for months, the smell of pregnancy. It was one thing that she had slept with a vampire, it was her choice on who she sleeps with and he didn’t have any say on the matter. He didn’t care that it was a vampire as long as they were both consensual and safe. Apparently being safe didn’t cross their mind! However, being pregnant with a half-ling was a sure way of having the ministry put a bounty on her head. Hailey was mad at him saying Stefan was a ‘random’ vampire. She nudged at Hermione to let her pass then stomped towards Remus with a angry scowl on her face.

“He’s not just some random vampire Remus! You don’t know what he’s had to live through! I love him Remus, it just so happens that our love lead to OUR child! OURS, it’s not just his child it’s mine too! I know it’s dangerous but this could be my only chance of doing my dream! Let me tell you the ministry can try but they will NEVER lay a hand on my child!”, her chest was heaving. She had frustrated tears in her eyes. At seeing Hailey about to cry, Remus started to panic. He did what he did to her when she would cry as a baby. He went over to her, hugged her gently, and started patting her back in a rhythm. She was tense but it was slowly melting away. Remus finally spoke.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean that he didn’t mean anything to you. I’m just worried for you cub. If the ministry find out they’ll have a field day with this. But I want you to know that whatever you choose to do I’ll do my best to help and support you.”, he had said it in a soft tone, the same one when he talked to her as a baby. Hailey had pulled back slightly and had a gentle smile on her face. She then turned to everyone and saw that their expression matched hers. She walked back to Ron and Hermione.

“I plan on having and raising my baby. Also once they are born, until the whole ministry mess is clear, I’ll move to the muggle world to raise my baby. But until then, I’m going to need my family’s help to make sure that my baby makes it to the world and that the ministry is left clueless.”, they all nodded along with tentative smiles. This is Hailey’s chance a pure happiness, after everything she’s done for them, they were gonna do their best for her baby. But the twins being who they are were quickly tired of the mushy atmosphere and had mischievous smirks as they threw a question at Hailey that everyone wanted answered.

“Soo, Hailikkins, what exactly about this Stefan that makes you looooove him?”, Fred had asked with a cheeky smile. Her face grew warm and before she could say anything, George spoke up.

“And do tell why I notice our signature makeup covering your neck?”, George could notice cause after a while the makeup would develop a shine to it. While not exposing what the user was hiding, it still brought attention to the applied area. It was a work in progress

“Well? We’re waiting.”, the twins said at the same time. Their stares filled with mischief and chaos.

“Umm…”, she was bright red and actively avoiding everyone’s gazes. Why couldn’t Stefan be here to share this embarrassment?!

Chapter 2 of

Immortal Dillemas

He almost didn’t notice her but when he stopped beside her, how can anyone not notice. Though he can’t find it in himself to care. But what had made him stop all of a sudden? What Stefan doesn’t realize that with his humanity off his inner vampire has more of an influence over him. Every instinct in him was screaming at him to slow down his car and when he did he noticed her. Odd, he thought with his humanity off his instincts would just discard the safety and livelihood of others. He hasn’t had his humanity on since he was ordered to turn it off by Klaus. Right now he had just finished tearing through some witches to gain information as per Klaus’s orders. He had some downtime before Klaus needed him back. From what he could see of her is that she is a very beautiful girl. She had long black luscious hair, pale fair skin, full lips, and the most beautiful emerald eyes he had ever seen. From what he could observe she’s perhaps 5’5 even, a half foot shorter than him. She couldn’t be more than a year younger than his physical age. Though he doesn’t care, he was still curious. What was a young British girl doing wandering a lone road in Oregon? He didn’t ask. There was something about her that made something turn in him. He’s had his emotions off for a while now, his brother and ex-girlfriend has been looking for him but he doesn’t need them to save him. All he wants to do is make sure Elena doesn’t kill herself in order for Klaus to make his hybrids. Klaus still needed deeds done and witches kept in line so he was able to leave the longing and judgmental stares behind for however brief a time. Tearing and draining some bodies did help him relieve stress,a ripper as his species liked to call him. Once she was seated in his car he headed towards town, Baker City. He was originally planning to drain her dry once she was in his car but something inside him made him stop. They drove in silence for about five minutes before he broke it.

“Soooo, any reason for why you crossed the pond to Oregon?”, he said trying to gauge anything really something in him was yearning to know this girl. He has never heard of something like this happening with his species. Hailey was shocked. She was able to apparate another country?!? She quickly hid her shocked expression from Stefan. While he was contemplating his behavior Hailey was trying to find an excuse but what’s better than the truth.

“ I just needed a chance to clear my head, and what better way than traveling and wandering?”, she wasn’t lying she just didn’t mention that she wasn’t exactly intending to travel to America.

“Something big happen to you and your family? I heard about those terrorist attacks and weird tornadoes happening over in the United Kingdom.”, he said in a curious tone. He was trying to gauge her reaction maybe she lost someone and decided to go across the world. She had a brief look of mourning before she said,

“ My parents died when I was a baby and I am not close to the relatives that raised me but I did lose someone to the attacks.”, she looks so sad, they were probably the reason for her traveling.

“ I’m sorry to hear that.” He said trying to convey human emotion without turning it on. But the look on her face told him that she expected his response. She must of heard it a lot. He should try to connect with her to open her up more. He still has no idea why his vampire was demanding information on this stunning girl… wait stunning? He shook his head and gave her a parody of his story, why he wanted to connect with her is still beyond him.

“When I was eleven my mom died and while she wasn’t the best mother she was still my mom. She would steal from and lie to my dad who in turn would immediately blame and punish me and my older brother. I don’t remember much from my childhood but I remember that my mom had stolen money from my dad. He thought my brother did it. He put out a lit cigar on my brother’s arm as punishment. One night my brother had told my dad that he was moving away with his girlfriend, and my dad just … he was so angry. He took his gun and started threatening my brother. I panicked and and wrestled the gun out of my dad’s hands. Next thing I knew was that my dad was dead and my brother hates me for putting in a situation that he has to live with and keep with him forever.”, he had to change the story a bit for why Damon hated him but it was the truth. Damon had hated him for so long because he forced Damon to become a vampire and for killing their father. What she said next would have genuinely surprised him if he had his humanity on. But he still let the emotion display on his face.

“ Your brother is stupid for holding this against you. From what I gathered you had to have been decently young when this happened. You were just a kid and acting on emotion, instead of protecting you and doing his job as an older brother he left it to you to be the protector. I’m sorry that you didn’t have family there to protect you and comfort you during that ordeal.”, while she was talking tears had started to leak through her eyes when she thought about the young boy having must been so terrified of having to protect his brother and hurting his father.

He… hadn’t thought about it like that. Back then he was already of age to have a wife and family, he was his own man. But she is right, he was only a kid when he was turned and transforming didn’t help with his emotions. With Damon it always felt like he was the older brother, he always had to be the one getting him out of messes and protecting him. It’s still like that to this day. He told he as much.

“I…never thought about it like that. Growing up it was more like I was the older one while he was the younger. Want to hear something kind of funny about us though?”, he was hoping he could break the somber mood they created, he doesn’t like seeing the tears on her face… he hardly knew her but she has such an affect on him.

“What? You two fight over girlfriends?”, she said with a slight chuckle at the end. A silence stretched through the car when she finished chuckling. She looked up with wide eyes, feeling a twinge of disappointment and jealousy surge through her when thinking of Stefan with a girl. She squashed that feeling down quickly, she hardly knows this boy. He finally answered.

“Not my doing I assure you. The girl Damon was going to run away with had some obsessive love for me that I didn’t return but she still tried to seduce me. Which added to my brother’s resentment towards me I’m sure. And my last girlfriend has started to develop feelings for him and he has had feelings for her since he met her.”, he tried pleading his case when he saw her expression. This girl has already made him show ten times more humanity than what his brother and ex had seen this past year. He felt himself settle when her expression cleared.

“Just…wow? I’m sorry that you have to deal with all that. I have never really had a relationship before so I don’t know what it feels like but I have a feeling that you deserve better than that.”, and she means it something in her was weeping for Stefan for being overlooked and poorly taken care of. She has never felt this way towards a boy before. She’s had crushes but she has never felt this strongly before.

Hearing her say that she has no experience with others made something purr inside him with satisfaction… he should really ask Klaus what the hell he’s experiencing. He needs a drink to clear his head but he also didn’t want to leaver her side yet.

“Well, I know I need to clear my head with everything you’ve given me to think about. But instead of traveling, how about you and me grab a drink? There’s a bar in town and the owner knows me pretty well that they don’t card me at the bar.”, he offered. She thought about it, while it may not be a smart idea to get a drink with a stranger and she’s underage, her and Stefan just shared their woes they could at least grab a drink together. She’ll trust him enough for tonight. She nodded her head and spoke her confirmation. Stefan shot an adorable grin at her that made her melt a little. Unknown to both of them Stefan had turned on some of him emotions to give her a genuine grin. Stefan pressed on the gas and made their way to the bar.

It was a weekend so it was pretty packed. Stefan made sure to hold Hailey’s hand to not lose her in the crowd. While Hailey was looking around and distracted by the loud music he used compulsion to order them drinks. He hadn’t been focusing on his hearing so it came as a shock when Hailey started gripping his hand and pressing herself against his arm.When he turned around to look at her, what he saw made him growl and snarl and nearly made him loose control of his vampire.

Hailey had a look of great discomfort and behind her was some guy who was leering at her as soon she and Stefan had walked in. He was making lewd gestures towards her and once her and Stefan made their way past him, he actually started following them towards the bar. She then felt a stinging on her butt and in her shock had started pressing herself closer to Stefan. When Stefan turned around to see what was wrong the leering man started speaking.

“ Damn! That ass feels just as good as it looks hun. How about you leave junior and I’ll show you what a real man can do.”, the man leers at Hailey and before Stefan could think about ripping his head off she spoke.

“ Oh please, as if you know anything about being a man if anything I’m pretty sure my friend here could show me all that a man has to offer.” She said with malice and not moving from her spot latched to Stefan. The man snarled and was about to speak when Stefan grabbed the front of his shirt and lifted him slightly and spoke with a growl.

“ Listen asshole, you are going to leave before I loose control and end up separating your head from your body if you keep messing with me and my girl.”, he hadn’t meant to said that last part but it felt right and it got the message across. It didn’t look like it bothered Hailey too much either, especially with how her heart was racing when he gripped his arm around her waist. The man looks terrified and like he’s about to wet himself. He took one step back when Stefan let go of his shirt and than he started gunning it towards the exit. They both laughed at the man’s expense and did a mock toast for the ordeal.

They spent the next few hours just drinking and talking. Getting to know each other through parody stories of their lives. For Stefan, unknown to him half of his humanity turned back on and he was falling in love, Hailey had brought out so many feelings. He felt awed by her and a lot of attraction to her. She was kind and understanding but still strong and put power behind her every word. For Hailey, unknown to her she was falling in love. Stefan had suffered so much and when he lashes out due to the pressure he’s met with scorn. He had to put up with all of that and he deserves to be a little brash and crazy sometimes. But just know with that creepy guy he’s shown her that he can still show compassion and protectiveness. She’s so used to being the protector that it felt nice to be protected for once. When they were slightly wobbling towards the car Hailey had a spurge of courage when Stefan went to open the door on her side. She felt very strongly for Stefan and when he opened her door she went up to him and wrapped her arms around his neck. He stood frozen for a while and just as she was going to pull away he wrapped his arms around her waist. They had their foreheads pressed together and they were breathing the same air. Neither will remember who made a move first but soon they ended up sealing their lips together. For Stefan, he had never felt a kiss feel so electric and passion filled. For Hailey, she’s never been kissed before and was almost overwhelmed with the feeling. The kissed got more heated but they soon had to break it to breathe. Have it to mind that Stefan is forever in a seventeen year old body and Hailey in a sixteen year old body. They are in the physical pinnacle in which their hormones are… disorderly. That and the alcohol, smart decisions were not even close to either of their minds. Stefan did not want Hailey out of his arms anytime soon and he remembers that the bar is coincidentally only a short walk from a small hotel. He knew it was risky to ask but he had a feeling that the attraction was not one sided. He again did not notice that he had a gauge on his emotions. He looked into Hailey’s eyes and was reaffirmed in his decision.

“ There’s a hotel nearby, do you… maybe want to spend the night… with me.” he asked with some hesitation. He didn’t want to pressure her, he knew it would be her first time, he could smell the innocence on her and the lack of man that is not family.

Even though she was tipsy she still was sober enough to make a decision. She wanted to do it. After everything that she had gone through and recently learned she felt like if she didn’t do it now she may never be able to. She has never felt a connection of attraction and trust like she does with Stefan. Not to mention she knows at least that he isn’t using her for the title of having taken the “Girl Who Lived” virginity. She can’t say that she knows for certain that she’ll get this chance again.

“I would love to spend the night with you Stefan. I hope that you take care of me.”, she said as she leans her forehead back onto his, kiss his lips chastely, and watched as the tension in him go away slowly from her touch.

“Thank you. I promise to make this special for you and that you won’t regret it.”, for the rest of night while Stefan was with Hailey he had the whole of his humanity back on and the two took part in creating the Master of Death’s Heir.

Okay so, I had a burst of inspiration. Think of it as a second trailer for Task force: Tricksters.

Trailer: “ What do you think Voodoo, think I can swipe it without having that guy notice.” , Roady said trying to get at least one of his ‘brothers’ to back him up.The boys were on their rooftop looking down at the busy crowd. It wasn’t theirs but it was a abandoned building so they called dibs. When Roady said his ‘name’ he looked over to the guy that his brother was determined to pit pocket. Ever since they left ... the bad place, they refused to go by the names they were given to them by the bad men. So they just named each other instead.

Voodoo’s name came from when they had watched the Princess and the frog movie that a family had left playing after they went to bed. The boys had a clear view to the movie from the window as the family had forgotten to close the curtains. Throughout the movie the boys kept asking their magic using brother if he could the same thing as the Shadow Man since then they jokingly started calling him that until it just became his actual name.

The family had a bad habit of leaving their curtains of their living room open. With a clear view to their tv, the boys would ‘visit’ the house to get more cultured and gain some information about the world they were in. Roady got his name the same way but with a old cartoon instead. At first it was a name his brothers gave him to mock him as it seemed that a roadrunner was faster than him as he could not yet reach a speed that could reconstruct an entire street. But it did encourage him to train harder to get faster, so he didn’t mind it after proving to his brothers that he could outrun a bird.

Spinner had gotten his name in a different manner but a much simpler way. With his webs being the only constant fabric that the boys had access to he used it as much as he could to help his brothers. So, he would be constantly found by one of his brothers spinning a new web so that the boys wouldn’t have to worry about sleeping on hard concrete at night or trying to make blankets to keep his brothers warm in the winter. After the boys had snuck into a library once to gather some information into what time and place they were in, they had decided to look around and see what else caught their interest. The web user brother had seen a book that had a frightening creature on it that had his former name on it. Out of morbid curiosity he opened it and took it to his brothers. They had learned that every time their brother had been using his webs that the correct term for it would be that he was spinning his webs. So that day he was named Spinner.

Puppy did not hate his name, he rather prefers it than his former name. The name he used to have made him sound like a cold heartless leader and he was anything but. His brothers had always seen him as the brother that preferred peace than to the violence that they would usually have to do. But it did not mean that he would not hesitate to rip out someone’s tongue if they had even dared to harm his brothers. One day when the weather was good, the boys were wondering around the city when they came to a unusual place filled with people and had an unusual amount of nature in it. The boys were hesitant but the strange area seemed to be filled with life and had lured them in. Almost immediately a whole herd that had been on a walk with their hired walker had ran up to the brothers. They seemed mostly interested in their canine-like brother. Distantly they had heard a small child say, “ Mommy, look! All the puppies like that boy! That’s not fair, I want the puppies to like me too!” When the mother looked up to see what her daughter was talking about she just saw a pack of dogs look confused as a man with a bunch of leashes in his hand come running up to the canines. About a few blocks away the boys were in a alley trying to be invisible. After that the brothers had started to show their affection to their brother by calling him ‘Puppy’ as they knew how he hated how his previous name made him sound like a predator.

Spooky had gotten his name in an unusual way. After recently escaping they had made a sort of base/home in a, what they thought, abandoned building. What the brothers didn’t know was that it was actually a building that a resident gang had recently decided it would be a good place for operation. The last thing that the gang had expected was to find a group of teenagers. The boys were still recovering from their last encounter of almost getting taken again so they did not look so good. To the gang the group of teenagers looked tired, hungry, and dirty. The gang had thought that the brothers were just some street kids looking for shelter. The gang had sympathy for the kids as they knew how hard it was to live in the streets. When one member went up to talk to them, one of the kids had suddenly said something that shocked them. “I’m sorry for your loss.” You see the specter brother had the ability to see the dead, so everyone that had died that had been close to the gang, he could see them. He said so himself, at first the gang had thought he was insane but then only said information had been disclosed between gang members and close allies. The gang had started to call him ‘spooky’ as a way to describe him but the brothers just picked it up as an actual name.

Mushu had given himself his name. He was the one that gave the bad men the hardest time when trying to make him forget because he was just so different. He remembered his past a bit more than his brothers. What he remembers is that his mother had loved to show him the movie ‘Mulan’, as a way to teach him to not underestimate girls and get him more interested into his family’s culture. He would constantly ask his mother that if he were to transform into his other form would he look like the cartoon dragon. Though he can’t remember her face, his mother would just smile at him and say “Perhaps... but you will definitely be a lot bigger and not be confused for a snake.” When he first transformed into his other form it was after he and his brothers were able to escape. The first thing that he and his brothers noticed about his form was about how red his scales were, much like the cartoon dragon. Once that happened he had deemed himself to be called Mushu as a way to try and remember his mother.

“ I don’t know, Roady.”, Voodoo said in order to try and steer his brother away from mischief.

“ That guy looks pretty high profiled, not to mention I’m getting a bad feeling about him.”, from the alarmed look coming from his eldest brother, Spinner quickly added, “ Not as ‘them’ but, as someone that just might be hard to go unnoticed by.”

This still made his brother weary but more calm. The man in question that had no clue that he was being conspired to be pit pocketed was none other than ... Oliver Queen, Star City’s very own vigilante.

(Side Note: I have decided to ship Peter with Steve in this fan fiction.)
