A Crown Of Thorns
"And you could have it all
My empire of dirt"
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liars chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair."

Leaving town with a monster wasn't on Elenas mind as she walked towards the apartments, knowing that inside, that very same monster that had killed her was. Probably waiting like the predator he was.
She stood outside now, her heart hammering against her chest, the phone tight in her very slightly shaking hand, the message still showing.
Come to Alarics sweetheart. We need to talk.
Elena knew very well that it wasn't the man she loved who had sent that, but the hybrid that had him in his grasp. She walked up now, stopping before the door, raising a hand, taking a deep breath, wishing, hoping that...
Forget it She just thought now, knocking twice, listening to it echo hollowly around the corridor.
It was him who opened the door. Stood there with that light smirk on his face, eyes almost excited it seemed like to Elena.
"Please, come in." He told her, stepping aside, the smirk growing as she walked past into the room, deliberately not looking at him.
"Stefan-!" Elena gasped now, seeing the man pinned to the wall, blades in his wrists, stopping him from moving. He was unconscious. She ran over, but stopped dead as the hybrid flashed over, preventing her from moving forwards.
"Now my love. We need to talk." He just said to her, and Elenas eyes flickered to the figure on the floor, muttering. "You killed your brother."
Klaus glanced down, then chuckled. "No, he has been reunited with his family. I'm a man of my word, Elena." But at that, he cocked a head and raised a hand to her chin, but she flinched away, making him smirk once more. "And just how are you alive, my dear?" He leaned closer. "I drained you dry."
"You're not the only one with witches on your side." She snapped and he chuckled, stepping over to the bar, saying. "Katerina. Pour Elena here a drink."
Elena looked up at that, not realizing that the vampire was there, skulking round the corner.
Katherine walked out, not looking at them as she poured some orange juice out, thrusting it at her. Elena just looked at Klaus, feeling sour as she told him. "I don't want it."
The glass was slammed down onto the side, and the vampire returned to her 'hiding place.'
Elena looked back to the devil, saying. "I know you have a cure for a werewolf bite."
Klaus grinned, then nodded, walking over to the table, taking a blood bag and emptying it into a cup, raising it to his lips. "Maybe I do."
"Please... Damon needs it."
"Consider it punishment for meddling." Klaus snapped, eyes dark as he looked at the doppleganger, setting down his empty glass, raising a hand, brushing the blood at the corners of his mouth away. Elena shook her head a little, then looked to Stefan, asking hurriedly. "What did you do to Stefan?"
"Well..." He started, sounding amused. "He came after the same thing. A cure for Damons unfortunate wolf bite."
"But-"
"But nothing." Klaus snapped, eyes hard. But then he cocked his head, sitting down and crossing his ankles, surveying his doppleganger through now narrowed eyes.
"I don't require Stefan. But you my dear... you would do very nicely."
Elena scowled, then scoffed. "Why would you want me to come?"
"Spoilers my dear. Now... I'll give you a choice-" He was up in a flash, standing next to Stefan. "For meddling... I'll be generous. Which one do you want to live?"
"What-?"
"Well... you didn't think I'd let you say No like that, do you?" He smirked, then Elena watched in horror as he rammed his hand into Stefans chest, waking him up in an instant with a scream of pain.
Klaus' eyes were bright in amusement at Elenas reaction of total and utter fear. "No-! Don't hurt him-!"
"Stop right there."
Elena stopped dead as she stepped forwards, tears sparkling in her eyes. Klaus twisted his hand a little, making her flinch as another yell echoed through the room.
"That's better." Klaus smirked, looking to Stefan, then back to the girl stood there, transfixed in horror. "You could end all this right now. Agree to accompany me until I've completed my tasks."
"And what would they be?" She spat, and his grin widened. "Werewolf hunting. The birth and creation of my race. A walk in the park, my dear."
"You mean more hybrids."
"Yes my dear."
"Go to hell."
Klaus sighed heavily, then rolled his eyes, looking back to her. "You don't have a choice. Say No... Stefan and Damon die. Say Yes, travel with me for... ooh, I'm betting just over a year, and they both live. And I swear no harm will come to you."
"I'm to trust you?" Elena scoffed, and Stefan yelled as Klaus pulled his bloodied hand out, walking over to the sink and grabbing a cloth, wiping the scarlet onto its creamy fabric.
"I'm a man of my word, believe it or not."
"I don't."
"Well... I must be going then." He smirked, and Stefan looked to Elena as she went to speak, shaking his head, almost whispering. "Don't..."
"I have to." She said softly back, ignoring the tears sparkling in his own eyes. Elena knew that the door hadn't been touched, the hybrid waiting. She turned now, steeling herself. "Fine. Give me the cure for Damon, and let Stefan go. Now."
"Oh-? Threatening me?" Klaus smirked, stepping forwards to face her. "Bad idea love. Maybe you-"
"Fine! I'll do anything you want! Just... give me the cure and let him go!" She yelled, tears spilling onto her cheeks. Elena watched him surveyed her for a moment, then without a word, picked up a little bottle on the side, along with a knife.
Elena winched lightly as he ran the blade over his palm, then let it drip into the bottle, smirking. "Your cure."
She understood now- his blood was the cure.
"Now Katerina-" He said, turning around to the girl who had walked forwards, yanking her forwards by an arm, forcing the bottle into her hand. "I want you to take this to Damon, then come back."
Elena saw the vampires eyes widen, then she asked. "I can leave-?"
"Yes." Klaus told her, and she was gone in a flash.
Elena shook her head, then hissed quietly. "You bastard. You know she won't take it to him."
Klaus smirked, "My bad" then walked over to Stefan, yanking the blades out of his hand, making him crash onto the floor where Elena ran over, almost falling to her knees when she was yanked back by the top of her arm, pushing Stefan who was about to pounce on his away, making him smash hard into the wall, cocking his head.
"Now now Steffy. Don't forget your manners." Klaus smirked, tossing Elena to the other side of the room while the hybrid stepped over, picking the vampire up by his throat, slamming him back into the wall.
"Right. If you or Damon come after my doppleganger, she dies. You can tell your brother that, and tell him not to act rash."
Stefan snarled, and Klaus chuckled. "Look at that ripper in you trying to escape. If I didn't need your girlfriend, you would be first on my list." He let him drop to the floor, then turned to Elena, extending a hand. "Ready my love?"
Elena gave his outstretched and a filthy look, then snarled. "Damon's going to die. Deal off."
Klaus rolled his eyes, then looked to Stefan. "Fine. You have five minuets to say your goodbyes. Then come back here... or your boys find themselves missing hearts and heads."
Elena didn't say anything, but walked over to Stefan as he got to his feet, and he shook his head, tears trickling down his bloodied cheeks as he pulled her into his arms, looking at the hybrid over his shoulder, going. "Take me instead."
"That wasn't part of the deal." Klaus just told him, and Elena sighed, taking Stefans face into her hands. "I'll be fine. I would go and see Damon... but you know what would happen..." She glared at Klaus. "That's if he's alive."
Klaus raised an eyebrow, then tossed Stefans phone to her that she just caught. She looked down and read-
"Where you and Elena?"
Elena paused, then messaged back. "Did Katherine come?"
"Yes. How do you know?"
The phone was grabbed from her hand now, and Klaus tossed it aside, going. "Five minuets are up love. Come on."
"No-!"
His eyes weren't amused now, and he snarled, grabbing her arm. "Enough."
Stefan went to grab her, but it was too late-
The hybrid and the doppleganger were gone.
