Vicki's POV

I look around, I'm not in Paris anymore. I'm in Mystic Falls.

Someone taps on my shoulder from behind. I turn around.

It's Alaric. But he's different, more demonic looking. I see veins under his eyes, he's a vampire.

"You shouldn't have come back here."

He takes out his hand from behind his back, he's holding a stake. But not just any stake, the white oak.

"Not possible." He tilts his head to the side.

He swings the stake towards me, I flinch and close my eyes with a scream.

But I don't feel any pain. I open my eyes and look down, he didn't stake me. I look back up to see him smirking at something beside me.

I glance to my left and see the stake embedded in someone's chest, their body alight. I gasp as I see their face.

Kol.

"No. No, no, no."

"Your turn." In a split second the stake is in my chest.

I scream.

I gasp, sitting up. I try to calm my breathing but I can't stop thinking about my dream.

I kept forgetting to take care of Alaric. Just because Esther is dead doesn't mean that he won't still be a problem. The ring is still affecting him.

I need to take care of it now.

I glance at the time before getting out of bed. 2 am. That means it's 9 pm in Mystic Falls right now. Before I do anything rash, I need to see if anyone is near him right now.

If Bonnie is there, she might be able to stop me, and if any vampire is, they could save his life.

Kol is sleeping, I'll have to be quiet. I walk into our study, which has all of our witchy stuff.

I get what I need for the spell, including one of Alaric's old stakes that I had.

I sit down at my desk, my items and my blood in front of me.

"Phasmatos Tribum Nas Ex Veras Phasmatos Tribum Nas Ex Veras Phasmatos Tribum Nas Ex Veras."

3rd POV

In Alaric's apartment, he is sitting on his couch, watching tv. He looks down to pour more bourbon before looking up and seeing Vicki's face on his tv. He gasps before it disappears. He looks around, before shrugging and taking a sip of his drink.

Vicki's POV

He's alone, good. Now I can do what I need to do.

I clear up the old spell, keeping the stake out. I set up candles all around me.

"Incendia" The candles all light. I close my eyes and focus.

"Phasmatos incendere ad pulvox Phasmatos incendere ad phlox Phasmatos incendere ad pulvox."

I feel it working, I feel his life ending.

"Phasmatos incendere as pulvox Phasmatos incendere ad pulvox."

I feel a weight being lifted off my shoulders. And in doing a quick locator spell, I can't find him anymore. So it worked, he's dead now and I can relax for a moment.

I take a deep breath in and release it with a sigh.

I stand up before gathering up my ingredients to put away. Until I hear someone clearing their throat from behind me.

I turn around to see Kol standing in the doorway, a concerned look on his face.

"It's 2 in the morning, what's this about?"

"I needed to do something. Plus I had a nightmare, couldn't sleep." I finish cleaning up as he walks over to me.

"A nightmare?"

"I'm fine."

He doesn't look convinced. "There are tear stains on your face, Victoria." He rests a hand on my cheek, looking intensely into my eyes.

"Whatever it was is done now. I fixed it."

If he says anything after that, I don't hear it. Everything is silent and my vision blurs.

Nik walks into his home, covered in blood. He drops the hunters sword on the ground before dropping to his knees, a tear falling from his eye.

I blink, my vision returning.

"Victoria!"

"What?"

"What just happened? Where'd you go?"

"Nik needs me, something's happened. I can pull him into my mind."

"What can I do to help?"

"Nothing, I got this."

I focus on projecting my spirit, bringing myself into the world that I've created, pulling Nik with me.

As soon as I see him, I run to him.

"Oh Nik."

I pull him towards me as he breaks down.

"Your hybrids?"

"All dead. They turned against me."

"Oh Honey."

He looks up at me, vulnerability shining in his eyes. "Why does everyone leave me?"

"I will never leave you, okay?" He looks down. "Hey, look at me. Even if I go away for a while, I will never actually leave you. I will always be there for you, you know that."

He nods.

"We will head back to Mystic Falls as soon as possible. Just hold off on killing anyone else till then." That gets him to crack a smile.

"Okay, I'll see you soon." I give him one last hug before going back to my body.

When I come to, I feel something dripping from my nose, I lift my finger up to catch some and I see that it's blood.

"Darling, you're bleeding."

"I've done a lot of magic tonight, I'm still getting used to this power. I'll be fine."

I walk into our bedroom, grabbing both of our suitcases. I start piling our clothes into them, not even bothering to fold.

"What are you doing?"

"Packing our stuff."

"And why is that?" I turn to look at him over my shoulder.

"We're going back to Mystic Falls."

A/N
Recognize either of those spells?
You'll notice that all of the spell I have her do are from episodes of the TVD universe. I'm not just pulling them out of my ass lol.
