Alexandra quickly regrouped from Claudia's possession, albeit a bit shaken and dizzy. During her time under Claudia's control Alexandra had been fully aware of all the events that had happened. She saw everything Claudia had done and everything that she had said. Including what happened to Christopher the night of the full moon.
When Claudia kissed Chris as Alexandra she was able to see into his mind, all his emotions were there, out in the open. Alex now knew everything about Chris and his ability to transform, but she kept it to herself until the time was right.
"Come on! We have to go after her!" Alexandra said putting all that aside and rushing towards Collinwood.
At the Blue Wale pub Kimberly and Leopold sat enjoying a stiff drink, something Kimberly needed after the stressful last few days she had had. Leopold was smitten by her beauty. Her crystal blue eyes seemed to look right into his soul and see every secret he was hiding. What Leopold didn't know was that that was actually true.
The truth about Kimberly's departure from Collinsport right after her divorce from David and affair with Victor wasn't one of shame and embarrassment, there was a mission behind it. A mission that would take years for her to complete. And now she had returned to do just that. Rid the town of Collinsport of it's evil and destructive citizens. Especially those like the Collins family.
When Victor and Kimberly first met, he was stable hand on Collinwood for Roger and David's horses. Victor saw some of the most sinister moments of Collinwood's history. The darkness, the evil. The undead. He knew all it's secrets and tried to save Kimberly from the grips of the Collins family. For her part, Kimberly knew too that there was something very strange going on in her new family and Victor was able to convince her to take his side and try to destroy them before any more of their undead family ancestors returned. But Kimberly had to be trained.
It was the early 80s when the affair first started, Caleb was a boy of 2 when she became pregnant with Christopher. It was a dark mark on the Collins family and David divorced her quickly and won a custody battle for Caleb leaving Kimberly and Victor to be together with their new son. As soon as the new baby was born, Victor sent Kimberly to a wooded area of Russia where a secret organization would teach Kimberly everything she needed to know to take down the family. Her knowledge of genetically altering human DNA was a desired trait for the mysterious group that called themselves The Organization of The True Hearted, or the OTH.
While in Russia, the mysterious leader of the OTH showed Kimberly a serum that mimicked the effects of the full moon had on a werewolf's bones, blood and mind so that a person could change into a blood thirsty, ravaging monster no matter the cycle of the moon. It was created for the soul purpose to destroy a werewolf's enemy: the Vampire. It was a serum Victor was given plenty of, a serum he and Kimberly would learn to test and then us on their own child. Christopher.
Leopold excused himself to from the table and went over to the bar for another drink. Kimberly reached into her purse and pulled out her cell phone to text message Victor under the table. She quickly typed in her message and sent it.
"I'm here with the main one, Divernet. Where's Christopher? Get the serum in him NOW!" she wrote.
"Vodka tonic." Leopold said placing the drinks down on the table.
"Thank you. So tell me again this story of yours. You're Carolyn's husband's cousin or something?" Kimberly said trying to stall time for Victor who still hadn't returned her text.
"That's right. Jack Thorne was my cousin on my mother's side. We were close, you could say. Very close. I'm so sad that he's gone." Leopold said, spewing more of his cover story.
Kimberly hadn't any proof that he was lying other then the fact she didn't see his reflection in a mirror as they left Collinwood. The red flags were waving but she only could pin down one. And still, no reply from Victor. She began to get nervous.
"Is everything ok? I know that you've had a terrible few days." Leopold noting her strange behavior.
"My son. He and I had an argument earlier today before I was discharged. It's been a very tough few years for the both of us. I have been gone so long so reincorporating myself, I guess I should have done it slower rather than just show up." Kimberly said in a moment of real sincerity.
"Caleb is a good man. I'm sure he'll come around." Leopold said.
As the two continued to drink and make small talk, Caleb and Kat walked into the Blue Wale. Perfect timing for Kat, the worst for Caleb who didn't want to see his mother at that moment.
"Great." Caleb said standing at the door.
"What is it?" Kat asked confused.
"The one person you don't want to see, and she's right there. My cheating, lying mother." Caleb said harshly.
Kat noticed that Kimberly was with Leopold and she couldn't let Caleb ruin this moment for her. She needed to convince him that they should all sit together so that she could talk to Leopold and get more info on who he really was.
"Come on! Let's go say hello. You can't stay mad forever." Kat said to an annoyed Caleb as she dragged him over to Kim and Leopold's table.
"Caleb! I've been trying to get a hold of you all day." Kimberly said reaching for her son and a hug.
"I know. I've been busy." Caleb replied coldly. "Kat you remember Leopold, Leopold this is Detective Banning." Caleb added re-introducing them.
"We met briefly at the night of the fire. Good to see you weren't hurt." Kat said making herself more comfortable in the booth.
Leopold smirked and nodded in agreement. He was getting a very strange vibe from Kat, a vibe that to him was making him uncomfortable, like she knew more then she was leading on. He could tell she was very interested in him, in a way that sparked his suspicion.
"Tell me Miss Banning, how long have you been a detective?" Leopold probed attempting to change the subject.
"About 2 years now. It's hard job, doing this. Especially in moments like when we found Jack in the bay, for no reason at all, boom....there's a dead body in front of you. Mysteries ..you know? I have to be honest here now that I mentioned Jack. I don't buy it that Jack Thorne killed himself. Has the family had any speculation on to why he would have?" Kat said putting all her cards on the table.
Leopold and Caleb both knew the truth, that Jack was actually Leopold under a terrible witch's spell and that the body found near the docks was someone Leopold had planted as a cover up, but they hadn't anticipated Kat continuing to pursue the now closed case.
"I'm sorry, I don't follow." Kimberly interjected.
"Neither do I! It's a very bizarre story to follow." Kat said sarcastically as she took a sip of her cold beer.
Caleb looked at Leopold, the two feeling like sitting ducks for Kat's inquires.
"The fact of the matter is Detective Banning, Jack is dead. That's all. It's a terrible and unfortunate thing, and to have a family member's suicide brought up like this is in a place like this, is highly inappropriate." Leopold responded. "I think this is where I'll take my leave." He added as he excused himself from the table.
"Kimberly thank you for your company this evening, I'll see the two of you back on Collinwood, Caleb may I see you outside for a second." Leopold continued as he motioned for Caleb to come outside with him.
Caleb, weary of what Leopold needed to ask him put his leather jacket back on and followed Leopold out into the cold night air and met Leopold in front of the Blue Wale pub.
"Listen, Leo, Sorry about that, she's a detective, it's her job to---" Caleb said as he was interrupted by Leopold who's eyes had turned angry.
"Get rid of her." Leopold said in a deep and menacing voice, as he buttoned his pea-coat high around his neck and walked off into the night fog and leaving Caleb outside looking at Kat and Kimberly through the window.
Alexandra and Christopher continued to make their way over to Collinwood, running as fast as they could to the main house to warn Carolyn and tell her what had just happened in the cemetery. As they did, a jeep, hidden from their view, sat covered in brush just outside the main gates; left empty and abandoned by its owner. It was Victor's jeep. His cell phone still sounding a reminding "beep" for the message Kimberly sent.
Victor, unaware of Kim's text, was crouched down in the bushes, dressed in all black and waiting for the right moment to do what he knew he had to do to complete the mission he and Kimberly had taken on. A mission to rid the town of Collinsport of the evils the Collins family brought to life on their land and in their home.
He waited patiently for the right time to strike and then there it was, the perfect moment. Alexandra and Christopher made their way around to the main entrance of the west wing that was undamaged by Claudia's fire. They were in a hurried pace to get inside to warn Carolyn of Claudia's release.
As Alexandra reached to open the door Victor pulled out a rifle and placed his own son in the cross-hairs and whispered to himself a small quiet prayer that his aim was perfect.
A tiny bead of sweat dripped down Victor's forehead and he pulled the trigger.
The blast shocked Alex and Chris both. Alex screamed as it startled her and she looked over at Chris standing behind her, his face had changed.
"Chris? CHRIS?" She yelled as Chris's arms reached out to her.
Then a second and third shot came, all three targeted to Christopher's back knocking him to the ground.
Alexandra screamed again as she fell to her knees and inspected the bullets, only to her surprise the gun had only fired three small darts. Darts that were loaded with the serum that would turn Christopher back into his werewolf-self. The werewolf that would bring down every last Collins family member.
"Come on! We have to go after her!" Alexandra said putting all that aside and rushing towards Collinwood.
"Who is she?!" Chris asked, as he grabbed Alex's hand and they began to dash off towards the main house on the Collinwood property.
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you." Alex said.
"At this point with everything that's going on, I'll believe just about anything!" Chris responded sarcastically.
"All I really know is that's she's some kind of sorceress, and she's very dangerous!" Alex said leading Chris through the foggy back woods that separated the Collin's family cemetery from the homes on the land.
