Chapter 2B

Hello lovely readers, I hope you are safe and virus free, as promised here is the next chapter enjoy.

Damon and Stefan came back but Damon looked injured,  he was holding his left shoulder

"Shit" I whispered he had clearly been bitten, I blinked to them both, gave Stefan a glare, then blinked all three of us to Damon's bedroom, I landed Damon onto the bed and Stefan and I were standing next the bed

"What happened?" I asked, I knew the answer but I had to be sure

"Damon was shot" Stefan spoke, wait what? I thought he was bitten, I looked at Stefan and he wasn't joking, "it was a vervain coated bullet" vervain is a flower that is poisonous to vampires. I moved Damon's hand away from his shoulder, I saw the bullet hole as he hissed in pain, the bullet wasn't in there, it had gone straight through. I smacked him on his good shoulder

"OW, what the hell?" He exclaimed

"I am going to kill you" I threatened him, I bit my wrist and offered it to him he drank a little and winked at me, I just rolled my eyes, a witches blood contains the antidote to vervain, and that washed away the poison, once he was ok I hit him again and again, when I went to hit him a third time he grabbed my wrist, when I tried to get free he grabbed the other wrist, looked me in the eye and spoke

"I'm fine" he assured, he had scared me, what would I have done had he died? I hugged him tight, in fear of losing him my tears ran freely they created a wet patch on his chest, where my head lay "I'm fine" he repeated kissing the top of my head, in that moment I didn't care if he found out how I felt, I was just happy he was okay, I never wanted to let him go, not now, not ever so when he finally let go of me I nearly held him tighter, but resisted.

Both brothers took in turns to explain how the werewolves were ready for them when they had gone for revenge,  they told me how the werewolves had vervain coated bullets in their guns, I had the thought that maybe the werewolves didn't want to hurt them this was a warning, but I didn't speak up, the brothers, I knew, wouldn't want to hear it.

Two weeks later.

Not much had changed, many werewolves and vampires had died in the town, and there were reports coming from around the world, London, Paris,  New York, India nowhere was safe, and then it came, what I had been dreading.

The post came with a pile of letters, they were addressed to some of the residents and there was one for me, it was here, the letter I had been dreading,  although I did hope it was a letter from Hogwarts instead, I opened the letter, upset to find out it didn't come from Hogwarts,  nah too old for school anyway, no the letter was a summons, a summons to fight the front line, a summons for me, a vampire, to fight them, the werewolves, and I wasn't allowed to say no, well tough, I've never taken an innocent life, I'm not about to start now, I'm not going to do it for people that thought I was an abomination,  the vampire community, never accepted me as a vampire because I have a heartbeat, yes I died to become a vampire, but I'm a hybrid the witches never wanted me, and neither did the vampires, and now they expected me to fight, hahaha, not a  chance in hell, I went into my office, I put the letter in the waste paper basket, then I made a fireball in my hand and threw the ball into the bin, setting the letter on fire, I felt a little better, but then remembered everyone else got that letter, vampires and werewolves, there was going to be a blood bath out there, and for what? Vampires and werewolves had always hated one another, and no one even knows why, petty, right? I had to stop it but I didn't know how, I had always tried to keep the peace in this hotel and it had always worked, but out there? Out there was another story, the whole wide world, vampires and werewolves were going to die, and anyone that got in the way would be  calatrel damage, humans will die, witches will die, lycans will die, fairies will die.

I stepped out of the office, I sorted through the letters, found each person on the computer then called them and told them they had mail, each person came down,  with a deep sigh, and a heavy heart I gave out the letters.

In less than two minutes the commotion began, they were angry, they were scared.

"LISTEN TO ME" I shouted, when the commotion died down I spoke again "we do not have to agree to this war, we can all stay"

"Are you crazy? It says we cannot say no" a man spoke

"Well I for one am not going, I will not kill for no reason" I announced to which a woman scoffed

"They don't deserve to live" I don't even know who she was referring to, weres or vampires, all I knew was that she was wrong

"You're wrong, everyone in this room deserves to live, now who's with me?" They all looked at one another, and soon they all filed out of the room upto their own rooms, Damon stayed behind, he leaned on the desk with his elbow and smirked.

"Great speech" he told me, I smiled in acceptance.

Ten minutes later everyone was leaving

"What? Where are you all going?" I asked raising my voice

"To fight the war" Stefan spoke we tried to stop him, to stop all of them Damon and I, but they all left, not listening to us, all but two stayed behind a pregnant werewolf and her mate.

"I know we don't deserve to stay here, and you..." the man spoke but I interrupted him

"You can stay as long as you want, I have nothing against you" I assured

"I'm Stanley,  this is my wife Hannah" the man smiled as he introduced himself I smiled a small sad smile

"Its a pleasure to meet you" I told him "excuse me" I whispered I turned and walked into my office, I leaned against the closed door and cried, I had been holding the tears in but I couldn't hold them in any longer, I had lost so many loved ones in the past, and now the cycle was repeating, I needed a miracle.

After I had cried my eyes dry I left the office, the foyer was empty I assumed Damon and the wolves had gone up to their own rooms I walked over to the pub and asked for a drink, Eli happily gave me a drink, Eli was a lycan, so probably didn't know what was happening,  I told him after two drinks I was talking and talking and talking some more.

Hope you enjoyed that, please vote. Stay safe. See you next time.
