A new day dawned on Mystic Falls. Josie, Lizzie and Hope were in class when the headmaster called them with the school microphone, the twins looked at each other knowing it was time to pay for the game actions, they walked to Dr. Saltzman's office, by developing a defense strategy.
" Listen Josie you let me talk I have an idea... " said The blonde.
The 3 arrived in Dr. Saltzman's office, Alaric had dark circles in his eyes, he looked tired. there were dozens of stacked books written in Old Gaul on his desk.
" You girls sure know why I called you... " Dr. Saltzman said putting down the book he was reading and looking at them, " You didn't listen my instructions and you tried to win and therefore draw attention to us, thank God no one at least didn't use his powers, however you started a fight that could have ended badly if we had angered one of the werewolves or if a vampire had lost control because of blood on a human wound, thank God again, Aiónia intervened, and even if the story ended well at the end, you will be punished." Said Alaric.
" But dad, First I just defended myself, Mystic Falls team started, and Second.. " she said closing her eyes and taking a deep breath as if she didn't want to arrive at a such extremity, but she had no choice, " It's Josie's fault.... " Said the blonde pointing at her twin who looked shocked and betrayed, " Excuse me? " Josie said,
" If you hadn't been so stubborn about losing, we wouldn't have come to this… " the blonde replied. Hope laughed and said. "Wow, use your sister as a shield? it's low, even for you..."
" It doesn't matter who started first, you're all to blame, plus it's just community service, it's not jail time. " Alaric said, ending the girls' bickering.
" I wasn't even at the game. " Hope said, her arms crossed her face stern.
" You know very well what you did. " Alaric said. Lizzie had a satisfied face at the girl's fate.
the tribid said nothing, the twins left the office. only Hope and Alaric remained.
" I can help you with the dagger research, it would be a waste of time and labor to punish me." Hope said, trying her last trick to avoid punishment.
" Dorian is a supernatural research expert, and we're in no hurry as I know. " Said Alaric, inviting the girl out of his office with his arm.
" You're right, we're in no hurry, moreover, if a minautor comes through the door, we can invite him for tea." said sarcastically Hope before stormed out with an angry face.
" Hmphhh... " sighed The Headmaster, before resuming his search for the artifact.

" So what did you do? " Lizzie asked as she got out of the bus that took the students to the center of town. " You're his prodigal daughter, you must have at least killed a baby puppy to make them resent you." Continued the girl.
Hope ignored him, and looked surprised at the boy getting off the bus, and she wasn't the only one.
" Aionia ?!! what are you doing here? " Josie asked him, not at all expecting to see the boy.
" Hey Jo, do I need a reason to help my neighbor? " he said, smiling calmly at her, as he got off the bus.
Hope and Josie didn't believe him, they were curious to know what he did to be there.
" Okay everyone come around me. " Dorian said " Today is a beautiful day, litter picking, weeding, graffiti cleaning, the choice is yours." Dorian said, extending a picker to Kaleb, who scoffed dismissively turning his head to ignore him, for only took it a few seconds later with great bitterness face to Dorian's glare.
" Well, cleaning graffiti is the least bad, are you coming? " Lizzie said to Josie.
" I don't know, are you going to use me as a meat shield every time you have trouble? " she told her with a cold face, she moved forward and stood next to Hope.
Lizzie put on a shocked face and said:
" Aionia are you coming with me? " Lizzie asked, giving him puppy eyes.
" Nah, sorry beautiful one, I'll stay with them. " he told her calmly, smiling kindly.
" Okay, if that's what you want... " she said looking at the three coldly, before leaving.
" Come MG !!!! " she cried, as the boy followed her giving them an apologetic look.
The 3 start to work, they gather the garbage in the parc, for a few minutes we only heard the noise of the rubbish being picked up and thrown into the bag, no one talking, until Aiónia intervened:
" there's a feeling of unease, right? " He said, laughing at the weird atmosphere that reigned.
