"Thank you for coming," Stefan greeted the Martins and Faith.
The siphoner scowled at the sight of Stefan and Bonnie. Jonas was able to heal her with a spell so she wouldn't have to go to the hospital to get stitches. "Tell Damon that if I see his little blood bag, she's dead."
"We didn't want to but my son made a case to hear you out," Jonas said, calmly as they sat down.
"Bonnie said that you have information about Elijah," Luka said.
Stefan glanced at Bonnie before looking at the Martins and Faith. "Elijah's dead. I'm sorry."
Lights flashed as Faith stood up from the table. She glared at Stefan as Jonas stood up with her, "where the hell is he?"
"Hear me out," Stefan tried to calm them. "We can help you."
"We know that Klaus has your daughter," Bonnie began before glancing at Luka. "I'm sorry about the way I had to get that information, but it's good that we know. We can all work together to get her back."
"How?" Luka asked, reluctantly.
"I suspect that you and Elijah had a plan to kill Klaus. Let us help you carry it out. You can trust us. I give you my word. We all do," Stefan promised.
Faith and Jonas glanced at each other. They didn't know if they could trust them after they 'killed' Elijah.

Faith sat across from Luka with his father sitting next to her. Lit candles were on the table as Jonas placed a spellbook in front of the siphoner.
"Are you sure about this? I mean, I would go if I could," Jonas told his son.
Luka ribbed his hands together, nervously. "No. I'm not strong enough to send you. I can do this."
"Okay," Faith held out her hand out to the warlock and their hands overlapped. "I'll use Jonas magic and I'll stay anchored. Use all our energy."
Jonas placed his hand on Faith's shoulder so she'll be able to siphon magic from him. He looked at his son in worry. "If you feel weak..."
"Dad, I want this just as much as you," Luka said.
"Concentrate on Elijah," Faith explained to him. "Picture him in your mind."
Luka closed his eyes and nodded. "I got it."
Faith glanced at Jonas and nodded. They both closed their eyes as Faith began chanting in Latin. Her shoulder glowed a faint red as she began to siphon the older warlock's magic.

"I'm in the Salvatore house. Elijah's body must be here," Luka described as they opened their eyes once the spell connected.
"What do you see?" Faith asked.
"Elena and Damon, they're reading," he said.
Faith tilted her head in confusion. Damon and Elena wouldn't be alone in the house. They would be with Stefan. She shrugged it off as she needed for Luka to find Elijah. "Okay. If Elijah's there, you'll sense him. Stay focused."
Suddenly, Luka's grip on Faith's hands tightened and his shoulder tensed. "Elena's fighting me," he explained.
"What's wrong?" Jonas asked.
"She's stronger than me," Luka gritted his teeth.
"That's because it's not Elena," Faith glared. "It's freaking Katerina, Katherine Pierce. You have to kill her."
"What?" Luka looked at her in confusion.
"She's a vampire," Faith said, calmly. "Find a stake or make one and drive it through her heart, Luka."
He turned his head around to look as Jonas looked at his son in worry. "Luka, what's going on?" He asked as Luka began to shiver and started sweating.
Suddenly, Luka's body burst into flames. He let go of Faith's hands, disconnecting the spell as he fell to the ground. Faith eyes widened at the flames as Jonas rushed forward to his son to help. Faith grabbed a blanket and threw it into Jonas' open hand. He wrapped the blanket around Luka to smother the flames.
They end up on the floor and Jonas removed the blanket from his son. He turned him on his back, but Luka was severely burnt and unresponsive.
"Faith! Hand me a book!" Jonas yelled at the siphoner.
She got up, the chair falling to the floor, and rushed to the shelf. Using whatever magic left she had left in her, she used to find a book that had healing spells and handed it to Jonas. The apartment smelled of burning flesh as Faith fiddled with her necklace in worry. She watched while Jonas flipped through the grimoire for a certain spell.
He held his son in his arms while chanting the spell. He stopped midway after nothing happened. He began to cry in pain over his son's dead body.
Faith crouched down to Luka's body. She placed her hands on his hand and began to transfer magic into his body. She felt sorrow for the first time since Vicki's death at the fight of the father crying over his son's death. She wanted to hope that she could at least try to rescue him.

Despite her effort, Luka didn't awaken.
"I'm sorry," she told Jonas. "I will help if you want."
He nodded before gently placing his dead son on the floor. Faith observed Luka's body and reached for the blanket on the floor. She draped it over his body as Jonas came back with a picture frame and hairbrush.
He mumbled the spell as Stefan swung the door open.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you," Faith narrowed her eyes on the vampire as her magic concentrated on his head.
Stefan grabbed his head in pain until he dropped on the floor. Jonas looked at the vampire with hatred. "He's dead and I have no one, and now you're about to find out exactly what that feels like."
The warlock and siphoner stepped over Stefan, leaving him in pain.

Faith smirked as Bonnie walked up to them. Jonas looked around for the doppelgänger before his eyes met with the witch. "Where is she?"
She shook her head. "I don't understand."
"My son is dead," he stated with a glare.
Bonnie's expression went to worry and panic. "Whatever it is you think you need to do, there's a better way."
"I don't think so, Bennet," Faith stepped in front of her, glaring. "They killed Elijah and his son. His only chance to get his daughter is with Elena."
"No," Bonnie pleaded. "No, Dr. Martin."
Jonas held his glare as he broke the stage lights causing silent screams in the crowd in the Grill. He looked back at Bonnie. "Where is she?"
"I don't know. I haven't seen her," Bonnie said.
Jonas broke the rest of the lights in the Grill making it dark to see.
"Please don't do this," Bonnie begged and stepped forward.
Faith ignored Jonas as he broke the glass bottles in the restaurant and set fire to the bar top. People began screaming and evacuating. Faith smirked at the sight of the frightened Bennett witch. "Come on, Bonnie. Why the scared look? They did kill his son and his only other chance to get his daughter back. They were practically begging for this to happen."
"Faith, please," Bonnie stepped closer to the siphoner as Jonas walked away from the two to look for the doppelgänger.
"As much as I want you dead, Elijah needed you for whatever reason, so I guess this will have to do," Faith shrugged and placed her hand on the witch's forehead. Bonnie let out a groan of pain before she collapsed on the ground.
Faith sighed in disappointment before turning around to look for Jonas and Elena. She turned around at the screeching screams of Caroline on the stage as she held her head.
"Get away from her!" Matt yelled as he pushed Jonas up against a wall.
"Matt, no!" Both Caroline and Faith yelled. Caroline was worried about her boyfriend while Faith had promised to keep her dead friend's dying wish.
Jonas reached for a beer bottle and broke it in half. He raised the broken beer bottle and lodged it onto the side of Matt's neck. Faith eyes widened before she rushed to help Matt. She was stopped as Jonas held onto her arm.
"We need to get Elena," Jonas demanded.
She took her arm away from Jonas. "I'm not helping you. You just tried to kill one of the few people I care for. So you can go to hell, Jonas."
She didn't look back as she crouched down next to Caroline. "Matt! Matt!"
"For the love of god, Caroline!" Faith yelled, surprising the blonde vampire. "Yelling at him won't magically heal him."
Caroline nodded as she found herself calm after Faith yelled at her. She closed her eyes and her vampire eyes appeared as well as her fangs. She bit into her wrist and placed it onto Matt's mouth.
"Matt, you have to drink," Faith told the blonde. She sighed when he began drinking the vampire blood. Matt stared at the two girls with mixed feelings.
"Are you sure you can deal with him?" Faith asked.
"I'll be fine," Caroline reassured her after closing the passenger door where she put Matt inside. "I didn't get to put vervain into his drink tonight so it should be out his system in a while."
Faith let out a sigh of relief. "Okay, just call me if you need help."
Caroline began to get into her car but stopped and looked at the siphoner.
"What?" Faith asked.
"You really need to stay on one side, Faith," Caroline told her. "You can't keep switching sides."
Faith frowned. "I am on one side. I'm on the side where I keep the people I care about safe."

Sanctuary
A girl searching for someone. A boy who lost his memories. A man from another world. A woman trying to prove her worth. Follow along as this unlikely group of people join forces to help each other accomplish their own goals in this non-epic fantasy adventure. Fair Warning: This fiction contains many of the well-known light novel tropes, though I try to give them my own spin. If you’re tired of them by now, you might want to keep away. There are no demon lords however, nor any end-of-the-world cataclysm situation that only the MC can solve. This story is more about different people coming together and helping each other out to achieve their own goals and objectives.
