To raise his brother once and for all from the dead, Klaus kidnaps Elena, needing the blood of a doppelganger to defeat death. But once Kol is awakened he intends to destroy Mystic Falls. One by one they will all fall. They will be each other's demise if they cannot survive together. But they each all carry their own personal sets of demons...


the demons we hide


Midnight is falling.

The hybrid locates her, picking her out from the rest of the crowd. A blood-red cap, the tassel floating in the slight breeze. The darkest shade of brown, her hair, streaked in her locks, rippling out from under her cap. A flash of a smile, pearly white teeth contrasted by unblemished, flawless pale skin.

He waits patiently until she is finished with her friends until he gives her a meaningful look, blue eyes piercing into her brown ones. She drifts over to him as if in a dream, half floating, half walking, her steps echoing softly while her robe murmurs quietly around her ankles. She sees that he's wearing a black suit; he's come here for Caroline to wish her well.

"Klaus." she speaks, and her voice is hollow, empty. Resonating.

"Elena." There is a hint of a smile, a smirk, in his voice, of games yet to be played. "With imminent threats lurking around every corner I'm surprised to see you managed to stay alive long enough to graduate."

Elena's being brave, but foolish. She standing there, testing Klaus's patience, refusing to back down.

"Yes," she replies. "Imminent threats. You. Rebekah. Your brothers. Silas." She only states it but doesn't berate him; she waiting for him to speak, waiting to know what is he wants of her.

"You look lovely-" he starts to say off-handedly, but then is cut off by Elena.

"Look we both know why you're here. Why don't you tell me what you want and leave?" Her voice is cold as winter, harsh, uncaring. Klaus stops speaking and cocks his head at her almost curiously.

"Well it depends if you're willing to cooperate." He smiles sardonically at her, teeth flashing momentarily.

"I would never help you." She's angry, determined...she won't let anybody push her around any longer. Even Klaus. Especially Klaus.

"Because it just so happens that your life hangs in the balance."

The last things she sees is a blur of Klaus as he descends down upon her, and she feels a flash of pain. And then nothing. Darkness overcomes her.

When Elena awakes she is rather un-welcomed by the sight of luscious scenery rushing past her. As she bolts upright in her seat, hands frantically clawing at the unfamiliar surrounding around her, she realizes she is in a car. Elena turns to look at her captor. Klaus. He's driving calmly, one arm on the wheel, another arm casually draped by the window. He's relaxed; laid-back. "Good morning, love," he says without taking his eyes off of the road.

"Where are you taking me?" Elena demands, mind searching for an answer. The only thing she can remember is...Graduation. And Klaus. He had kidnapped her! And now Elena's heart is racing a mile a minute, eyes tearing apart her surroundings.

Klaus sighs almost impatiently. "Easy, love." He listens to her movements as her hands dive, in a futile attempt, for her phone. She's going frantic now, overcome with fear. "Not to worry; I informed your friends of our little roadtrip."

"Let me go Klaus," Elena interrupts him firmly, having turned to face him in her seat. "You've done enough already." In a moment she is pressed back against her seat, trapped, as his forearm tests its weight against her throat. The movement catches her off guard and out of breath, her hands uselessly scrabbling and clawing at his arm.

"You will do as I say, if you intend to keep your heart beating." He's nearly growling now, his patience worn thin, one hand on the wheel. He lets go of her before he ends up cutting off her air supply permanently. Elena gasps for air, shooting Klaus a heated glare. She knows that even if he does intend to kill her, he can't do so until after she finishes doing what he tells her to do. He won't kill her until then. So now, at least for now, she's free to hate him all she wants.

Before the end.


A/N:: Hey! So this is my new story. Originally it was Klaus/Bonnie/Kol but I decided to change it because I can't write Klaus/Bonnie that well. Also, Elena would work better as the main character in this particular story.

So, review your thoughts! Don't forget to follow/favourite...And get ready for the ride!
