Disclaimer: The Vampire Diaries are not mine. In some parts if the dialogue looks the same with the show, well it is. I only own the character "The Dark One" also known as Cvilidreta and her past.
02; the new deal with the Original
Katherine Pierce was making coffee in the kitchen. She was nervous, she didn't know what was going to happen next and she was the great Katerina Petrova, she was always one step ahead of everyone but this was Klaus she could never know what he would do why? Because he is always two or more steps ahead of everyone including her, if Damon failed in ruining the sacrifice then all would backfire to her; she wasn't ready to die, not yet. That's why she had another vampire hiding in her slip in case something went wrong, the question was, will Klaus listen to her or he will use her instead?. After a few minutes thinking in all the possible ways for her to survive, Klaus arrived.
"Everything ok?" the vampire asked him when she saw the angry look he had in his face.
"What have you been doing?" the Original asked her.
"Making coffee" she answered not looking at him "Do you want some?"
Angrily, he rushed over her, strangled and compelled her "Tell me what you've been doing."
"Making coffee" she choked. He released her and she turned herself.
"Wait" he suddenly said making her stop in her tracks "Take off your bracelet. Now" he ordered. She took it off and gave it to him "I want you... to walk over to the window and stand in the sunlight.
Katherine gulped looking at the window "But I'll burn" he smiled.
"You don't have a choice" he told her. She stood in the sunlight and her skin started to burn. She kept screaming. Klaus looked at her with a smile. He let her burn for a moment "That's enough" she rushed over the corner of the room, in the shadow, gasping in pain she waited for her skin to heal, the Original smirked "Guess I was wrong" he clapped his hands "All right, then. I need you to do something for me."
When the young vampire lifted her look, her eyes widened when she saw a blonde woman behind him covering her mouth, but she wasn't covering it because she was terrified instead it looked like she was trying not to laugh. With her hand still burned from the sun, she pointed behind Klaus who confused followed her finger.
The blond Original took a step back in surprise "You" he said furious.
"Me" the blonde said giggling "Oh, that was so funny, you should do it again" she said happily.
"How the bloody hell did you get in?" Klaus demanded ignoring her words, but the blonde kept laughing. In that moment Katherine thought the girl was insane "Answer me before I'll kill you."
The blonde snorted "Like if you could, little puppy."
"How dare you" Klaus hissed really furious at her no respect for him, using his vampire speed he went to attack her but instead of hitting her, he went through her hitting the wall behind her. He fell on the ground in pain.
The girl started to laugh louder; Katherine even laughed at little but tried to hide it in case the Original would hear her "You are so funny, dearie" she said between her laughs "I'm not really here" she said moving her arms around like a maniac. Klaus got up from the floor glaring at her, she ignored him and went straight to Katherine who immediately started to crawl backwards not wanting the crazy girl get close to her "Come on Kitty Kat" she said grinning "I'm not going to bite you" she turned her head at Klaus "I mean is him you should be worried, after all he is the dog" she joked. Katherine still didn't move from her place, the blonde annoyed snapped her fingers.
Katerina was lifted in the air by a force and quickly was in front of the "witch" or is what she thought the girl was "Who are you?" the vampire questioned.
"See I told you, Klausy pooh" the girl said "She doesn't have any idea of who I am" Klaus huffed and walked at her "Not every day you can see the famous Katherine Pierce confuse" the Original move his arm to touch her but again it went through her.
"How are you doing magic if you are not here?" he asked frustrated trying to ignore the nickname she just gave him "No" he shook his head "More important who the bloody hell are you?"
Katherine was shocked when she heard him ask her who she was, didn't he know? Did the big bad Klaus Mikaelson was confused? Now that was something you didn't see every day.
"I'm called by many names" she grinned "But you can call me, Cvilidreta."
"A very uncommon name" he muttered.
"That's what Elijah said" Cvilidreta replied smiling; Klaus' eyes widened at the mention of his brother's name.
"So, you know my brother" the Original said "Are you two close?" he asked interested.
Cvilidreta snorted "Oh, jealousy doesn't look good on you, dearie."
"I'm not jealous" he replied "How could I be, I don't even know you" he grinned "But it doesn't mean I wouldn't like to."
"Flattery would get you nowhere, Niklaus" she smiled. Her gaze was now on Katherine "I'm assuming you were going to ask Katerina about Damon's plans concerning the sacrifice."
"And how would you know that?" he asked interested.
"The question is how you wouldn't know that" she replied "You keep disappointing me, Klaus" she said shaking her head like a mother would do reproaching at her child "I thought you were smarter than everyone else, always steps ahead of the enemy but if you can't guess the plans of a little vampire then you are not worth my help that I was going to offer you."
"Your help" Klaus scoffed in disbelief "Moments before you were in that little vampire's side and paralyzed me till you and your little friends were out of my sight."
She sighed dramatically "See now you can't even see that I was acting, you are losing your touch, my dear, should I be worried" she said faking concern "I can help you Klaus, you need my help" she walked closer to him "I can feel your desperation and nervousness" she raised her hand as if she was going to touch his cheek but she didn't "You have waited for one thousand years for this moment, five hundred years ago you were going to be free but" she pointed at Katherine "she ruined that opportunity" she tilted her head to the right side "Now you don't want to mess this up, you don't want a couple of young vampires to ruin everything because they love the doppelganger."
Klaus gaze was cold "Like I said before I have my vampire and my werewolf with me, retrieving the doppelganger is easy for me, I don't need your help, I have everything under control."
Cvilidreta suddenly grinned making him confused "Do you?" she bit her lip "Just say my name out loud and I will come when you ask for help" after her words she disappeared in the air.
Katherine let out a breath she didn't know she was holding "What did she mean with that?" she asked nervous.
"Nothing" he answered coldly.
"Are you sure because that didn't mean no-" she didn't get to finish when the Original shouted at her.
"SHE MEANT NOTHING" the young vampire backed away quickly in fear.
Katherine looked at the clock that was on top of the fridge, he eyes widened when she saw the time "Klaus" she whispered afraid.
"What?" he asked annoyed.
"Look at the time" she told him gulping.
When Klaus turned his head to see the time, he couldn't believe what his eyes were seeing. It was ten o'clock, he immediately went to look outside the window, it was dark. He blinked hard, just moments ago it was daylight, it wasn't possible; he didn't know what just happened. Katherine went to grab the laptop that was on top of the sofa to check the time, she wasn't hallucinating it was two hours before midnight. How couldn't both felt the time?
"Where's Maddox?" Klaus asked out loud, trying to ignore what just happened, he had to stay focus the sacrifice was going to start soon and he need it to work fast "He should be back by now."
"I don't know" Katherine said confused at the Original's attitude, how wasn't he freaking out, she thought, five hours just passed and they didn't felt anything. Klaus sat down and opened the laptop "What are you doing? Where's Elena?" she asked him.
"I told Greta in the morning to retrieve her when the time would come" he was looking at Jules, his backup werewolf who was starting the transition "It's almost time" in that moment the door opened, Katherine and Klaus looked at the door "I wasn't aware you'd been invited in" he said looking at Damon who was sweeting, the dark haired vampire grinned tired.
"I've come here to tell you that you have to postpone the ritual" Damon said. Klaus smirked.
"Didn't we already have this conversation?" he asked laughing.
Damon pursed his lips "Yeah" he nodded "But that was before I rescued your werewolf, and vampire and killed your witch" Klaus got up furious.
"Excuse me?" he faced Damon.
"And you can kill me for it. I don't care" he shrugged "It was all me."
"Katerina, give us a moment" she looked at them and left the room "I heard about you. The crazy, impulsive vampire in love with his brother's girl. I knew one of you would try to stop me" he grabbed his laptop "It was a just a 50/50 guess on who" he showed him the video of Jules trying to shift "The nice thing about werewolves is they tend to travel in packs. Need a closer look?" he throws him a cellphone where the video was too so he could see better.
"Jules" Damon breathed.
"When you spend a thousand years trying to break a curse... You learn a thing or two. First rule..." Klaus lifted his finger "Always have a back-up. Back-up werewolf. Back-up witch."
"Back-up vampire" Damon gulped.
"I've got that covered, too" Klaus replied, lying. Immediately he snapped Damon's neck. The young blue eyed vampire fell on the floor "Katherine" he called her, she appeared in the room after, she shifted a little when she saw Damon's body "It seems that I don't have a vampire anymore" she gulped "I think it's your time, darling."
"I have a back-up vampire" she said quickly. Klaus raised his eyebrow interested "Jenna, Elena's aunt."
"Very well" he said "It seemed you had it all planned it makes me wonder what others possibilities you calculate."
"I'm just trying to stay alive" she said "But if you ask me, the girl, Cvilidreta, she knew this was going to happen."
Klaus couldn't denied that fact, the "witch" knew "Cvilidreta" he called out loud just like she said he would.
"Miss me already" Klaus turned and saw her sitting on the sofa "I knew you would call" she said getting up and looking at Damon, she kicked his leg "Poor little fellow" she sighed "That bite it's going to kill him" she laughed "Oh well" clapping her hands she turned at the Original "How may I help you?"
"You knew" he hissed pointing at her "You knew he was going to free them."
She shrugged "It was more like a lucky guess" grinning she looked at the clock "Looks like your time it's almost over if I were you I'll hurry up."
Frustrated he talked "You will protect the sacrifice; you will not let anyone interfere"
"Now why would I'll do that?" she asked him, the Original looked confused now by her question.
"You said you will help me" he repeated her earlier words.
"Yes" she nodded "But I prefer to make deals" she pursed her lips "I'll protect the sacrifice in exchange of your blood."
"Excuse me" he replied "Why would you want my blood?"
"None of your business, dearie" she told him "Do you want to be a hybrid or not?"
Klaus sighed frustrated, she got him in a desperate time "Deal" he muttered through his teeth. Smiling happily she shook her hand with his, when he was about to let her go, she grabbed his wrist and with the other hand took out a dagger from her boot and cut him, he hissed in pain at her sudden actions, he glared at her but his glare was replaced with a frown when he saw how his blood was floating in the air and flew directly to a little jar that she had hanging around her neck. He sighed heavily trying to contain his anger when he figured out that she even knew he was going to accept make a deal with her, he couldn't help but wonder if he was actually coming predictable.
"Congratulations" Cvilidreta said "I'll see you in the sacrifice" snapping her fingers, the blonde girl disappeared.
"Hello, Jenna" Klaus voice sounded greeting Jenna Gilbert.
"Let her go" Elena pleaded "I understand that I have to die, but she doesn't" she gets closer to the fire.
"Careful" Klaus warned.
"Elena, don't" Jenna said to her niece.
"No, Jenna. We can't leave Jeremy without a family" she looked at Klaus "I followed your rules; I did everything that you asked. I didn't run. Please" the doppelganger pleaded. She was thinking how that wasn't part of the plan she and everyone made with the Dark One.
"Well, well" Klaus said raising his head "I don't recall you being on the guest list" Elena and Jenna raised their head. Stefan was at the top of the cliff.
"I'm here to talk" Stefan said.
"Very well, then" Klaus rejoined Stefan at the top of the cliff "What can I do for you, Mr. Salvatore?"
"You don't need to kill Jenna. I'll take her place" Stefan said, he knew the plan was out of his hands now, Jenna was involve, the deal was over for him and soon The Dark One was going to appear and they would suffer the consequences.
"Oh, I don't know. I rather appreciate the symmetry of three women- Three goddesses- Sacrificed at nature's altar" Klaus replied smirking.
Stefan shook his head "Don't play games with me. You'll get what you want."
"You're quite the hero, aren't you?" the Original said "I've heard that about you."
"Just make the trade" the young vampire said "Me for Jenna."
The Dark One was sitting on a rock listening everything, she was cloaking herself so one could sense her. Klaus and Stefan came back to where Elena and Jenna were.
"Quite the predicament. You know, it's funny, all this talk about preserving family, and here's Stefan, Granting your wish" she heard Klaus said to the doppelganger. The Dark One smirked, she was right Stefan broke the deal, now Bonnie was actually going to try and kill Klaus.
"Stefan…" Elena said almost crying.
"It's okay" her boyfriend told her.
"Well. Who's it going to be, Elena?" the blond Original asked her.
Elena shook her head "No."
"Oh, don't worry" Klaus said shrugging "There's actually no choice" he took a stake he had behind his back and staked Stefan in his back making him groan in pain.
"No" Elena screamed in horror "Stefan. No."
"I have other plans for your boyfriend. I want him alive. But for now..." he punched Stefan. He fell on the floor, hurt "Whenever you're ready, Greta" the circle of fire around Jenna disappeared. He looked at her "Your turn."
"No, Jenna, no" Elena said crying. Jenna looked at her.
"It's alright, Elena. I know what I have to do" she rushed over Greta and bit her but Klaus stopped her and staked her making her fall on the floor. Elena crying started to shout at her aunt.
"Just turn it off. Jenna. Turn it off. You won't be scared anymore" this time Klaus staked her in the heart "No. Jenna" when Jenna fell on the ground dead. Elena did the same crying. Stefan woke up; he still had a piece of stake in the back. He saw Jenna and looked at Elena, whispering.
"I'm so sorry" Elena whispered too.
"Are they going to kill him?" he nodded. Klaus got closer to her.
"It's time" the circle of fire disappeared. He held his hand toward Elena but she doesn't take it and went to the altar. He rejoined her and looked at her "Thank you, Elena."
"Go to hell" she spat. He bit her and drank her blood. Stefan looked at her, powerless. Elena looked at him too. Klaus released her and she fell on the ground, dead.
"I can feel it. It's happening" he shouted "Yes, yes" the transformation began. But Bonnie arrived and throws him on the ground. Damon appeared and killed Greta.
"You were dead" the Original shouted. Bonnie used her powers and makes him suffer. He screamed at the pain. Damon carried Elena's body and laid her next to Stefan.
"Elena" he said. He looked at Damon "I need you to get her out of here."
"What about you?" Damon asked his younger brother.
"I'm not leaving until he's dead" he answered him "Go" Damon nodded and left with Elena in his arms. Before Stefan could go to Bonnie's side he was stopped by Cvilidreta, he pulled back immediately "Dark One" he said afraid.
She narrowed her eyes at him "You broke the deal" Stefan shook his head.
"Listen I have to, you have to underst-" she cut him off when she raised her finger, then turned her hand and Stefan started to choke.
"No, dearie, you should understand, no one breaks a deal with me" she hissed "I'll deal with you later, Stefan" snapping his fingers and before he could say anything, the vampire disappeared.
Gasping for air, Stefan appeared back in the house of the witches, he looked around frenetically, Alaric appeared out of the house "Stefan you are back."
The vampire shook his head "No, no, no" he muttered "She is going to kill her."
"Who?" Alaric asked "Stefan, who is going to kill who?"
"The Dark One" he said quickly to the ex-hunter "She is going to kill Bonnie because we broke the deal."
"Wait" Alaric called "What happened to Jenna?" but his only response was the silence of the night; Stefan had already left to save Bonnie.
Elijah Mikaelson, seconds later appeared next to his younger brother, ready to kill him, avenging his siblings that had die by Klaus' hand "Elijah?" the blond Original asked in his knees confused, Bonnie's magic didn't let him be in his feet.
"Hello, brother" he put his arm on Klaus's chest "In the name of our family, Niklaus…" Klaus started to laugh, Elijah looked at him confused when he felt himself ripped away from him, he was thrown into a tree. He lifted his head and saw Cvilidreta in front of him smiling "Cvilidreta, what are you doing?"
"My part of the deal" she whispered and snapped his head with her hands, she turned at Klaus who was still in pain from Bonnie's magic, narrowing her eyes the Original felt the pain go away and Bonnie's magic wasn't working on him anymore.
"NO" the young witch shouted angrily, she touched the blood from her nose and when she raised her gaze she saw in front of her an angry blonde.
"You broke the deal" the Dark One said serious.
"Jenna wasn't part of the plan" Bonnie said desperately.
"No one breaks a deal with me, Bonnie Bennett" Bonnie felt on her knees screaming in pain, slowly she felt her magic being ripped away from her, she was hitting the ground from the sensation, it was burning her, much worse than when a vampire was burn by the sun. When she finally stopped screaming Bonnie felt empty, she didn't felt her magic anymore. The Dark One kneeled "Enjoy your life without your magic, Bennett."
As the Dark One walked right to Klaus, the Original was still in transition, she grabbed him by the arm and did the same with Elijah, the three disappeared into the woods leaving Bonnie on the ground crying from the pain. Stefan appeared right by the ex-witch side and took her in his arms, she cried out at the action.
"It hurts" she whimpered "Make it go away" she pleaded "Please, you have to make it go away" Stefan looked at her sadly; he didn't know what to do, he didn't know how to help her, she didn't have any wound on her body. Using his speed, he left to the house of the witches.
When Cvilidreta appeared in the middle of the woods she let go of Klaus who fell on the ground shouting in pain from his transition.
"It hurts" he gritted through his teeth, she rolled her eyes.
"Way to state the obvious, dearie" she said.
She heard how every single bone of his body was breaking, slowly he was turning into a wolf, she always had enjoyed the shifting of the werewolves, it wasn't because she loved their screams of pain, it was more the fact how a human could turn into a beast, a majestic animal.
She had wolfs but they were in her castle, then again her castle was everywhere, every time she was in any location in she had to stay for a long time, she bought a little house; smaller on the outside but bigger in the inside where her whole castle was. Much like the time machine from the television show she once saw decades ago, it was about a doctor or something like that.
Elijah suddenly woke up gasping for air, in time to see his brother turn into a wolf, he watched Cvilidreta tell Klaus to leave who obeyed and left to howl the moon and hunt everything in his way; the older Original put his gaze in the blonde girl "You stopped me."
Cvilidreta turned at him and smiled "I did, you were going to kill your brother, Elijah."
"I thought you were on our side" she scoffed.
"Please, when you had your hand inside his chest, he was going to tell you the truth" she said now looking at him.
"What truth?" he asked getting up from the ground carefully in case she tried anything.
"He didn't kill his siblings" she said "They are daggered, sleeping in their coffins."
Elijah held his breath for a moment, processing her words "If you are lying to me-" she cut him off.
"You'll what?" she asked with a grin on her face "I just snapped your neck, I could have ripped your heart out very easily back there but I didn't" she snapped "And I don't lie."
And that wasn't a lie, she just manipulates the words to make the situations work in her favor, then again she didn't have to lie sometimes the truth was more painful.
"You should show me more respect I'm an Original" he told her.
Cvilidreta laughed at his words "That doesn't mean anything to me, if someone should show respect it's you to me, I'm more powerful than you, Elijah" he glared at her "not to mention older" she thought "Now we should continue, who knows the chaos your brother is causing."
He nodded in acceptance and both began to walk following the pat Klaus had taken "Why did you help him?" he asked curious, no one have ever wanted to help Klaus by their own will.
"I made a deal with him" she answered simple.
"What kind of deal?" he pressed.
"I'll help him with the sacrifice in ex-change of his blood" she answered, feeling the wind in her face.
"Why would you need his blood?" she sighed annoyed at his questions.
"Just like I told your brother, none of your business" Elijah wasn't done.
"You betray them" he snapped "You betray me."
"No" she said sounding the "o" for a long time "I didn't betray them or you, I told you I came here to help the Salvatores and Bonnie and I did help them, I said with two witches you had more chances to kill Klaus, I never said I was going to kill him" she glared at him "They called for me, I came, we made a deal, I was going to help them but the sacrifice was going to happen and they knew, the plan was to never kill Klaus in the first place" his eyes widened in shock "If someone betray someone, it was them to you, they lied to you in your face telling you they were going to kill Klaus when they knew they weren't but they broke the deal we had, so I did the same, that's how I work Elijah."
Elijah stood there in shock at her words, the Salvatores and Elena lied to him, they weren't planning to kill Klaus in the first place, they were just using him; a couple of young vampires and an human tricked him, him, one of the oldest vampires. He touched between his eyes frustrated; she was right to, she never said she was going to kill Klaus, she had made a deal with them and they broke it, Cvilidreta had every right to do the same and make them pay, that's what he would do too, he couldn't blame her, but what shocked him most was the fact that she manipulate him too, she didn't lie she just knew how to talk, how to win; just like his brother Niklaus. If those two ended up being friends, God help him but if they are not and turn out to be enemies, well God help him too, either way the older Original knew he was screw.
