    ‘’They’re in a cult’’ Bonnie and caroline said otgether ‘’it’s not a cult!’’ Stefan stated ‘’Emily found this group online when she was looking for ways to heal after everything that hapepned, she met this guy, Louis, whos a vampire from the 1700’s… we did some research and his name as a human came up a lot. Anyways a legit vampire, showed us when he came to town to help Emily aftera mini break down she had. Burns int he sun and everything. But.. hes.. weird… he doesnt look like a normal vampire, like us… anyways, we’re pretty sure he runs a cult of vampires. He claims to be this self help guy and guru for vampires looking to heal ‘their inner demons’ and ‘make peace with their new life’… it today sound cult-ish. ‘’ caroline explained to Erika ‘’we’ve tried explainging this to stefan and Emily, but both seem to think Louis is a god send all becaus ehe helped them ‘heal’ ‘’ Bonnie siad ‘’I never siad he wasa god send. .that was Emily. But I do like him… he made a lot of sense to me in retain area’s and helped me to understand more tat Erika needed her space and that running after her and pushing her to return.. was not the path i should enter… so… suck it up. He’s coming down. So when hes here… be nice’’ Estefan stated and caroline ro9lled her eyes ‘’Im sorry but im not gonna let you and Emily be sucked into some weird creepy vamprire boho weed smoking self help cult okay’’ caroline stated before hearing jeremy matt and Emily talking as they walked in ‘’guys! Over here!’’ Care called out and the three walked over ‘’erika1 hey1 welcome back!’’ Matt said kindly ‘’nice to see ya again. Maybe you and Tyler can convince these two to knock it off with the self help crap’’ jeremy said ‘’and conning her to not go running off to ehypt’’ matt added  ‘’oh my god you two are thr worst! Its just a college inerview!! Nothing set in stone! And the self help stuff is just that. Help! Its sooo not a big deal!’’ Emily whined out .

    Erika was amused by Caroline's story and how dramatically she told it. "Wait wait wait, you said the seventeen hundreds? Do you have a picture at all?" She asked. Caroline went through her phone a moment before pulling up the self help website and the admin page, then showing Erika the photo. Erika visibly paled and she looked like someone scared her senseless. "Oh thats not good" Bonnie muttered. "You know him, don't you." Bonnie suggested. Erika swallowed hard and nodded "unfortunately I do. Im the one that turned him" she began. "Shut up!" Caroline exclaimed and pushed Erika over as the others all joined her and Stefan. "Judging by the look on your face, I take it thats not a good thing?" Jeremy asked. Erika was quiet a moment. "He's pretty much what you say he is. He helps vampires like he has with Stefan and Emily, but its all a brainwashing tactic to lure in others, to expand the vampire species, he makes those he helps turn innocent humans, even children and take them to him once they've completed the transition. The vampires make it look like they saved their lives so he's basically viewed as a vampire god. It's disgusting" Erika explained. "So why did you turn him?" Matt asked. "Louis was a therapist, or well tried to be. It made others think he was nuts back then. He was attacked by a ripper vampire one night, I did it to save his life and fed him human blood. I had tried to recruit him to help my Uncle Nik and his paranoia. Then after his transition, Louis just...disappeared" Erika explained. "I ran into him centuries ago, he thought I'd be proud of the world he was creating, only when I learned the truth, I left and never looked back. You two need to stay away from him" Erika warned.

    Emily listened to Erik’s story bu she didnt fully beliv eit ‘’you dont belive her?’’ Matt asked ‘’its not that i dnt.. belive what she is saying… i belive that she tried to save him.. and things got… difficult.. but.. i dont belive what youre saying abotu the whole… child vampire thing or the turning in one people… ‘’ she admitted ‘’ i understand your concerns..  truly do.. and I’ll definitely be alittle more guarded aorund Louis when he comes to town.. but… he really did help me after my breakdown… and he helped stefan too. Without trying to.. recruit us.. or.. make us change any humans into vmapires.. he was just.. .there for us… he was kind. And he listened, no offence, but betetr than anyone here… he helped.. he helped me find forgiveness.. somethign ididnt think id be able to do.. ill be the first to admit… i held.. ALOT of hate for you.. for your fmaily.. for stefan and dmaon.. for everything supernatural…but.. after talking to Louis.. and spending time with him.. and him helping me at my lowest… i just.. i trust him… and i dont fully belive everything you say… i will keep an open mind though.. and ill take your words seriosuly Erika. I will. And.. maybe while Louis is her eif you see any of what yous aw back then.. tell me.. and ill try to see what you see. But im not going to blindly belive everything, i need to see it for myself.. and if i dont.. then.. im nto going to change my personal perspective of him’’ Emily explained and Stefan sighed a bit ‘’i think its worth looking into while hes here… and.. ill listen toy ou if you have that gut feeling that somethign isnt right anymore.. like Emily siad.. he id help us, and he didnt pressure us to do anything to humans.. nor did he saw we owed him.. or anythign liek that.. but ill keep what you said in mind.. if he is who you say he is.. then we’ll handle him.. together. And go formt here’’ stefan siad as he took Erika’s hand in his.

    Erika looked at the two and she felt sickly worried for them. "Em I get it, i know you hate me, you're still in that i want to kill you stage every time you look at me. But it has been several hundred years, he helped alot of vampires over a longer period of time before they went that far. Just please, please watch for any warning signs of what I said. He's helped so many vampires but he's turned so many into us too, for his own gain. And yes ive seen children back then, not many but at least a handful. But even a vampire can change over time, so who knows maybe thats stopped, maybe its not. All I ask for is some restraint when it comes to Louis, I know he genuinely wants to help people but his ego wants to be fed too" Erika said softly as she gently squeezed Stefan's hand in return.

    Over the next few days, thigns seemed ot..go.. slowly… Emily still insisted that Erika move in until stefan was ready fro her to be in the boarding house with him Damon and Elena. She truthfully did want to work past her hate for the heratic, since most of the hate she had discovered mainly came form her hating herself and what she had become… but it was a slow process to forgive and accept everything. Emily had gone over ot Tyler’s place a few time sot bring food for everyone and check on on the little girl she helped ot make sure she was okay, but sshe didnt stay for long as Tyler was helping someone break the sire bond.  That day Emily was rocking out to music while she cleaned the main level of the house, she had already cleaned the second level and cleaned up the basement too.  Louis was going to arrive today and she felt the need to clean… jeremy was out with matt doing something, which elft her and Erika in the house since Texan, Elena, Damon, Care and Bonnie were coming over ina bit. She was Washington he dishes when the doorbell rang. She grabebd a towel as she walked over tot he door as Erika came down ‘’Louis! Hi!youre early!’’ Emily siad and hugged him before he walked inside ‘’hello Emily. I’m sorry for arriving so early, the flight landed an hour earlier than accepted. I hope all is well’’ he siad before noticing Erika ‘’ah.. Miss Mikaelson.. it has been long since we alst seen each other. Are you.. well?’’ He asked politely, keeping his hands behind his back. 

    Stefan over the last couple days, stuck to his normal routine, though he did go over tot he Gilbert house more now since Erika was lving there, he explained that he wnated to renovate his bedroom so it accommodated two people instead of one. His closet area was meant for one so eh wnated ot explained it,same with the general layout of his room. Thoguh it was big, it was more suited just for him,so he wnated the space o feel like it was erka’s too now. He went o school for Thursday and firday and by sunday,the day Louis was set to arrive, he grew.. more.. cautious and nervous.. if what Erika was saying was true,then they had a new problem on their hands and he wasnt sure how ti would work out.. or if it would at all… he was meeting upw ith caroline and Bonnie,the three of them wlaking over to the Gilbert home while dmaon and elena would meet them there in a little bit.

    Over the next few days things had been exhausting for Tyler, the pack too. He and Hayley took shifts in helping Gabe break his sire bond and finally he had broken it, now it was Monica's turn. The pack was glad that the method had worked but hated how much pain they had to go through in order to break the bond at all. Tyler didn't see much of Emily unless she came by the house, he went to school during the day now that he was re enrolled and caught up and most of his classes, he'd do the rest over the weekend in between helping the hybrids.

    Erika had hesitantly moved into Emily's family home, though most of her things were gone as they'd been left behind at the hotel or back in New Orleans. So she went shopping with Caroline, Bonnie and Elena one day to refill her closet and get necessities. Erika had helped Emily with the cleaning, the dishes, bathroom, dusting and tidying up her own room then had a quick shower and gotten dressed when Emily called her. Erika paused partway down the steps. "Louis, two hundred years i believe? I'm alive as are both my families so yes, I am thank you" she said, being polite but guarded at the same time.

    ‘’Has it been that long?” Louis asked and smield gently ‘’well.. its good to see youre doing well Miss Mikaelson’’ Louis said, he was always formal, to those he didnt overly like that is… ‘’so.. Emily… hw have you been? Are you okay?” He asked as Emily took him intot he lving room with Erika following and sitting across form her and Louis. ‘’I’m… okay… uhm.. Erika.. is living with me and Jeremy now. Im taking what you said about helaing.. and.. i truly want to work things out with her and mvoe on for thius… hate… i hold’’ she admitted and Louis nodded ‘’now.. is this hate you feel.. truly hate for Erika? Or.. for what you are? And are yu just.. projecting that onto her?” Louis asked and Emily pause… ‘’.. i… i.. i guess… both? I men… ive never been fond of.. becoming anything supernatural related…. But… now that i am.. it’s like im being pulled? If it hat make sense.. i hate what i m.. but.. i liek the power i hold.. as for Erika.. ill admit. .im.. im not.. her biggest fan… theres thign i love about her, like her protectiveness for fmaily, and for stefan… how she’s curoagous…. Strong… smart…  but.. i also have thing si dislike too…’’ Emily admitted and Louis nodded  ‘’so… i think the best ting fro you my dear.. is to.. finally figure out who is Emily Gilbert.. youve lost who you are… beofre this… supernatural drama happened, you knew who you were.. but now… youve lost.. you need ot figure that out again.. as for your situation with Erika.. i want to give yu an exercise to do.. that both of you can do.. i want you to write down ten thigns you love and hate about each other, and tell each other those things.. not to stir malicious intent, but so that you both can understand why you have thee feelings.. and then i want you to burn those papers.. wipe te slate clean.. leave everything in te past, and tart over, re-introduce yourselves to each other nd start off fresh’ Louis said and Emily was hooked on every word. She ain’t even heard the toehrs coming inside till stefan walked in ‘’hey Louise’’ he said and the male looked over and stood ‘’Stefan! You look well!’’ Louis said with a charming smile ‘’thanks. Im doing well’’ stefan said ‘’that is excellent to hear. You look as if youve been reborn’’ Louis said ebfore greeting everyone else as well ‘’can I ask one thing… ‘’ Emily asked and Louis nodded ‘’Uhm.. Erika.. mentioned.. that when she knew you… you uhm..turned.. children?.. do you.. still do that?” Emily asked getting right to the point. Louis sighed and scratched his eyebrow ‘’i.. once upon a time, did do that yes… but no child has been turned in the time since Erika left to now. The children who were once with me, have since.. passed.. i saw that they wer ein agony.. misery.. so.. i.. removed their lives from this world… it.. took me about 50 year as to fully move on form that dark tim.. i thought i was helping them. But i wasnt. I harmed a lot fo epople… but now my group is full of epace,happiness, life… we have humans, and vmapires, even a few wolves who are all in my group at the compund. We live in harmony. Away from those who wish harm on us’’ Louis said with a genuine smile on his face.. stefan felt like he was being truthful.. he didnt sense any kind of.. hidden agenda…
