You guys asked and I'm delivering. Here is a new chapter! I hope you all enjoy it.


Henry's POV

"Okay, this..." Dr. Saltzman struggles as father as him shoved against the wall in his office at Mystic Falls High School.

"I just had to save my child from being killed by yet another enemy of yours. Now tell me, Alaric, how is that part of your curriculum here?" Father demands from Dr. Saltzman.

"Nik, let Ric go." Mother orders, but Father keeps his firm grip on Dr. Saltzman. "Nik, no maiming or killing in front of the kids."

"Not like we haven't seen it before." I muttered, and now both of my parents are glaring at me.

"What did you just say?" Mother has a serious tone in her voice.

"Shut up now." Hope whispers to me.

"That's not entirely true love. There was that summer we spent in Portugal where we just had..."

"NIK!"

"I thought we said we would be honest with the children." Father argues.

"That is not fully on me. I left it to a vote for the students..."

"Who felt betrayed and confused on why precautions were put in place in case anyone got out of hand. Yeah, I wonder why they didn't know what to think...oh wait, I do. They're fucking kids who were traumatized!"

"Okay, is this meeting just for you two to yell at me because you guys do that on a normal day." Dr. Saltzman comments.

"And why are we here?" I question, and Mother just glares at me.
