Chapter 19

Hope transformation went without a hitch as she was back to her human form as Alex quickly brought her clothes and conjured a changing room as Hope was changing into her clothes she asked"My wolf form seems different."

Alex was thoughtful and replied"It's probably because of the bond you will faster and stronger. Also since you are also a witch it will probably boost your magical power by a lot."

Hope with interest asked, "Does the bond do anything else?"Alex explained, "Well bond also acts like beacon we will always be able to tell where each other are."Hope smiled hearing that as she said"That's good, you will get stronger."

Alex nodded as he asked"We can trigger your vampire side with another ritual. But this will have effects like you are not technically undead as you didn't die to achieve the change by dying, so you will be, and if you want you can be an original vampire-like your father."

Hope was thoughtful then answered, "I will do the ritual in the future."Alex nodded and was okay with it as they apparated back to the school where Hope went and cuddled with Alex as she slept Alex was thinking about the future" I have no idea what was going to happen in the future."

While next day classes went by as usual and while the news came that Alaric stepdown as headmaster and there were talks about Alaric resigning from Salvatore boarding school,then took the role as a teacher in Mystic falls highschool. While Caroline became the headmistress. Things were moving smoothly as Caroline wanted to change many of the schools pointed out by Alex as she wanted Alex's input in all this.

Japan

While in Japan there is a meeting of two supernatural being both of them were wearing masks one was an oni mask other was wearing a kitsune mask as Kitsune with frustration questioned,"Why can't we find those damed keys anywhere?"

Oni gritted her teeth and replied, "My lady we can't find them."Kitsune yelled in anger "Find them we have to release our empress soon."

The oni bowed as get said"As you wish Young mistress Inko." then left the room as the kitsune now revealed as Inko yelled"Zenshi" as an 8 tailed kitsune appeared before her and kneeled while asked, "What can I do for you young mistress Inko."

Inko with curiosity asked"There have been rumors of a tribrid in US,I want one of your subordinates to check this rumor. But be careful it is a place filled with vampires and werewolves so ask them to be subtle about it."

Zenshi hesitantly asked, "Is this related to vision spoken by the seer my lady."

Inko narrowed her eyes at Zenshi and said"Yes you remember how the seer said my mother's death will be at the hands of a tribrid."Zenshi nodded as he remembered the day the Empress in anger ripped the head of that witch as Inko spoke,"I want you to send some of our subordinates to go find if the rumor is true if it is I want to find everything about him or her."

Zenshi spoke with caution"We can't let that tribrid live if this is true."

[A/N: Also this is not a plot hole the kitsunes remember Tama no mae even after eaten by Malivore is because they were inside a protection spell which is used when kitsunes is undergoing tribulation of getting a new tail.So only some of the kitsune's remember Tama no mae]

Inko looked at Zenshi and spoke in a cold tone"Our first priority is getting my mother out.Also, the tribrid is just 17 years old at best, so you really think she can be as strong as my mother?"Zenshi gulped in fear as he didn't want to speak anything and disappeared from there.

Inko looked at a drawing of a beautiful woman with fox ears and nine tails as she Whispered"Don't worry mother,I will get you out of that monster soon, and then the name of Tama no mae will be feared by everyone again."

South Korea

Inside a building, multiple bodies were littered across the floor while the ones who caused all this were all around 18-year-old were watching all this as if this was an everyday thing as one of them was a boy who was telekinetically holding up an old man is the Minister of Health and Welfare." who in fear questioned: "Why are you doing this to me?"

The boy smiled and replied, "Dr.Baek didn't like you snooping around her projects." the old man asked, "Who are you, people?"The boy laughed and replied, "Since you are going to die, I will answer my name is Nobleman." with a gesture, a of his hand the old man's neck snapped as teenager recognized as Nobleman looked at his subordinate and ordered, "Set the building on fire to remove every traces of our presence."

The subordinate nodded as they got to work nobleman and his group is child soldiers who had witch or warlock genes they were experimented and trained at a young age their abilities included telekinesis, superstrength, superspeed, and inhuman reflexes, but everything comes with a price as all these experimented children had a short life span of 25 years and they seemed to unable to do basic spells. The group regarded each other as brothers or sisters as they were together from a young age.

As Nobleman's group went back to their base where Dr.Baek 50-year-old woman who is the leader of the was waiting for them as she asked"Is the job finished?"

Nobleman smiled and nodded "All done."Dr.Baek nodded and said, "We got new info the about the tribrid is confirmed."This surprised nobleman and his crew knew the as he questioned"So about the Tribrid what is his or her name and other details."

Dr.Baek shook her head and replied"No, our source was a vampire named Greta, but we didn't get the name of the person because we are unable to contact Greta or any of her lackeys. But one thing is sure the tribrid is only 16 years old." hearing this nobleman's second in command and adopted sister Katana spoke, "Only 16 years old ,so this should be easy."

Dr.Baek in anger scolded "Don't underestimate just because this person is young,if he or she activated her werewolf or vampire side then she will be something to be underestimated."Nobleman nodded while Katana snorted and ignored her warning.

Back to Mystic falls

Another thing was Caroline and Bonnie started to meet with Hope and Alex from time to time, so they have a good relationship with Alex as they didn't want Hope or Alex to hate them for the things they did.

While Alex was reading his Grimoire as Hope barged into his room looking frustrated as he was worried and asked"What happened?"Hope scowled and replied"It's just Landon he seems to not get the message that I am not interested in him.I try to tell him I am taken, it's like the whole thing goes from one ear and through the other."

Alex sighed he was not a jealous or possessive boyfriend as he and Hope had already bonded and he didn't feel like killing Landon as he wanted to find out who his father and mother are which is something not possible, if he just killed Landon. But he did find a way to take away Landon's powers.

Alex replied, "Just ignore him."Hope nodded and said"It's actually starting to annoy me as it seems he keeps a close eye on things I like and stuff. It's getting really creepy actually.I didn't notice it much at the start, but now it's clear he seemed to have a slight obsession with me."Alex understood her and he replied, "Yes, he also seems to hate or dislike students from Salvatore boarding school."

Hope sat on Alex's lap as she asked"Why to hate us?"Alex shrugged and replied, "He seems to think we are all spoiled rich kids."

Hope with confusion asked"So why does he treat me so differently?"Alex sighed and replied"Its because you were the first person to treat him kindly and he is clung to you after that."

Hope frowned and joked"So do you think I should start being mean to him to avoid me"Alex shook his head and replied"Just ignore him,thats the best route."
