Chapter 3: The End of The Affair
Damon walks into the library living room, then pours himself some broaden and then suddenly his cell rings, he pulls it out and saw that it was an unknown caller I.D and so he answers it, "You're interrupting my drink." he tells them, but the caller just smiles to themselves. "Did you miss me?" Katherine asks him, Damon, sighs. "Katherine, where are you?" he questions. "Lurking outside your window, hiding away." she answers him with a giggle. "What do you want?" he asks her again.
"I'm homesick, what did I miss." she asks him, "Well… Stefan is Klaus's little prisoner. Samathea and Elena still thinks they can save him and no one's thought about you since you left." he answers her with a smirk. "And what about you, I'm sure now that you've given up on your brother that you're plotting some sort of way to move in on Elena's bitch of a sister." Katherine states as she still loath Samathea for catching her from time to time. "She's only a bitch to you, but I didn't give up on him, I just don't know where he is." Damon answers her, then Katherine hums to herself.
Then a thought struck him, "But you do, are you trailing them?" Damon asks her as he walks over to the couch. "A hybrid that wants me dead and a sidekick that's off the rails. I could be further away." she answers him, "Which means you know exactly where they are." he concludes. "All I know is that Klaus pitch a fit once his hybrids didn't work and now he's looking for some answers." she informs him. "And how do you know that?" he asks her, "I've spent five hundred years running and there will be a few people along the way that are looking out for you." she answers him.
"Is that what you're doing, looking out for my brother?" he questions her, "Maybe, maybe now. I'm conflicted." she answers him. Damon sighs, "Where are they?" Damon questions her.

Klaus drove through a warehouse, "Welcome back to Chicago, Stefan." Klaus tells him, parks the car and they three step out. Stefan and Serena followed after him, Serena tied her jacket around her waist, wearing, a white tank-top, jean booty shirts with heeled saddles and her hair was up in a side braid. "What are we doing here?" Stefan asks him as Klaus opens the door, "I know how much you love it here, bring back good old ripper days." Klaus states, Serena rolls her eyes and crosses her arms.
"Black out most of them, lot of blood, lot of parties. The details are all blurred." Stefan answers him. "Well that is a crying shame, the details is what makes it legend." Klaus informs him.
~Flashback~
A car pulls up to a club and a woman in a red sparkling dress that reaches her knees with a cut up the left side, that stops at her hip, heeled shoes that straps around her ankles, her black curly hair pulls back and sat on her shoulder as some of it cover her right eye, a little of make-up on her face, white fur shawl wrap around her shoulders to over the big 'V' opening in the back, she wore white long gloves with pearl and diamond bracelets on her wrist. Her blue eyes scan the area and saw a man walk out of his car and she saw his date, dead in the car.
She sighs and places her hand on her hip, "Sloppy, very sloppy." she mutters to herself and look at her reflection; red short hair and green eyes. She sighs. "I hate redheads." she mutter to herself and walks to the club, she walks to the door, the man opens the eye hole and see her, she smiles at him, then he opens the door for her. "Thank you." she said sweetly and walks inside. Gloria was singing at the front as Mr. Salvatore was leaning against the railing. "Look who my eyes have just spotted." Gloria states. The woman smiles to herself and takes off her shawl; reliving her upper part of her dress to have a big V opening in front and the sleeves were off her shoulders by inches.
"Looking for a good time, Mr. Salvatore?" Gloria asks him, "Save me a dance, Gloria." Stefan asks her as he steps down the steps, then went to take a drink, but a blonde hair girl beats him to it, "Oh, please help yourself." Stefan tells her, she stops and turns to him, the woman stops and turns to him, "Don't I always do." she tells him and a smirk and Stefan just kept his smirk.
"Careful Mr. Salvatore." she tells him as she walks up to him, then as she went to press her lips to his, she stops then leans in close to ear, "You're still wearing your date. She's lovey." she whispers to him, she then turns and switches the drink in her other hand as she walks away, but Stefan stops her, but griping her arm and pulls her back and she looks at him. "Who are you?" he asks her, she just smirks at him, then pulls her finger to her lips, then walks away.
But then suddenly the woman in red takes the drink from the blonde, she stops scoff and looks at her, "That was mine." she tells her, the woman smirks and looks at her, "Oh what are you going to do about it, Becky?" she questions her, then the woman looks at her in shock. "How do you know my name?" she questions her. The woman just smirks, leans in close and lets her eyes flash blue for a moment. The woman gasp, "Se…" Rebekah starts the Serena places her finger on her lips, stopping her. Serena smiles then pulls her finger from Rebekah's lips and then places then on her own. "It's our little secret." she tells her and walks off.
~End of Flashback~
Stefan was leaning against the doorway looking at the city, Serena was outside in the cool air looking up at the city as well, Chicago was a magical place." Klaus states, Serena sighs and turns back to them, "I'll take you're word for, like I said before, I don't remember much." Stefan said as he and Serena walks back into the warehouse, "Well down to business then." Klaus states as he closes the door.
They two turn him, "Why are we still with you. We had our fun, you're little hybrid fail. I mean, don't you want to move on?" Stefan questions him. "We're going to see my favorite witch, if anyone can help us with our little hybrid problem, it's her." Klaus tells them. Stefan and Klaus exchange looks.
~8~8~8~
Samathea laid comfortably in her bed, she then turns over and was press to something that wasn't her bed, but she was too tired to even care, so she snuggles up against it. Damon just smirks to himself, "Raise and shine, sleepyhead." he whispers to her. Samathea groans as she slowly opens her eyes, she reels her head back, looking up and seeing that it was Damon that she was snuggled against him.
She gasp as she was now fully awake, then shot up and pulls the covers to her chest, "What are you doing, get out!" she orders him. He just smirks, "You know were dreaming about me, it explains the drool." he teases, Samathea sighs, smacks his side and then wipes around her mouth. Then grips her clock, seeing the time. "6:00 am. Seriously, you have nothing to do at 6:00 am?' she asks him as she looks at him. He looks at the ceiling, "Fine then don't come with me to Winston bring Stefan home." he tells her, looks at her with a smirk, "See ya." he said then gets off her bed.
"Huh, wait, wait, wait, what. Where is he?" Samathea asks him as she pulls her covers off, he turns to her. "Winston city." he answers her, she was taken back, "He's in Chicago? Who did you know?" she asks him. "Came to me in a dream, I was naked. You would of loved it." he tells her, she narrows her eyes at him, "Katherine told you didn't she?" Samathea states. "Start packing." he tells her and walks over to her dresser, she pulls herself closer to the bed edge, "Is he okay?" she asks him, "Well lets just say that he's not there to meet opera." he tells her.
"Ooh, put these in the yes pile." Damon states as he shows her red underwear to her, she glares at him gets off the bed, marches over to him, then pulls her underwear out of his hands and places then back in the draw then closes it. Samathea then glares at Damon as he held is hands in her sight, then walks off. She sighs then looks in the mirror.
~8~8~8~
Samathea did try to wake up Elena to tell her about Stefan, but she was too tired to wake up, so just her and Damon just went on the road trip.
Samathea sat in the passenger side of Damon's car, she was founding her necklace, looking out at the scenery as they drove down the road. "I hope we find him, because if the last of Stefan's memento has turn back into the ripper." Damon states, "It's an antic, like you Damon." she tells him, Damon smirks for a moment, then reaches in the back of his car and pulls out a journal and hands it to her, "Read this." he tells her and she looks down at the journal, "This paints a pretty picture on Stefan's first time experience in Chicago." Damon tells her, and Samathea turns to a random page then looks at Damon.
"This is his dairy, Damon. I'm not going to invades his private thoughts" Samathea reports to him, closing the journal. "You need to be prepared for what you're about to see." Damon tells her, "I've seen Stefan and his dark spirits, I can handle it." she tells him and gave him back the journal to him. And he opens a random page, "Here we go, March 12th, 1922. my blackout days. I wake up with strangers blood, places I don't recognize with women I don't remember." Damon states, getting Samathea's attention. "Ugh, I'm shock! Stefan's not a virgin?" Damon jokes.
Samathea glares at him, "Really? Eyes on the road, Grandma." she tells him, taking back the journal, he shrugs, "Fine, back to my game, tell me if you see a photo plane." he asks her as she reads over the words.
~Flashback~
Gloria was singing to the crowd as the people were dancing, Rebekah was dancing as well was Serena was sitting in a booth by her lonesome, the two glare over that the men that were laughing to themselves loudly. Then Rebekah and Serena walk over to them. "Excuse me!" Serena shout at them, getting their attention, "Some of us actually came here to hear the music, that you." Rebekah tells them as Serena crosses her arms. "Oh I'm sorry sweethearts are we offending you?" Stefan asks then and his friends laughs.
Serena places uncross her arms and places her hands on his hips as Rebekah walks up to him, "It's going to take a lot more then a baby face like this to offend me." Rebekah tells him, "If you ever grew a rougher look, I could have been swayed easy, but you'll forever be the baby." Serena tells him, they all laugh at their comeback and the two turn away, then Stefan catches up with them and grabs a hold of Rebekah's arm, "Hey." he said and the two turn to him. "Are you ever going to tell me your names?" he asks them.
They both smirk at him, "Sure, when you earn it." Serena answers, then Rebekah leans in close to his ear. "Now do Gloria a favor, and stick a sock in it." she tells him and then the two walk off. Rebekah returns to her dance partner as Serena returns to her booth, both listening to Gloria sing.
~End of Flashback~
Klaus, Stefan and Serena walk into the club, "Looks familiar, doesn't it?" Klaus asks Stefan, "I can't believe this place is still here." Stefan states with amazement, "You got to be kidding me." Gloria states as the three look over at her, "So a hybrid walks into say…" Klaus starts, "Stop." Gloria orders him and he looks at her, "You have be invincible, but that make you funny." she tells him walking out of the sunny. "I remember you." he said to Stefan as the three walk over to her.
"Yeah Gloria." Stefan states, she mumbles a 'Hum-humpf' leaning against the railing, "Shouldn't you be…" Stefan states, "Old and dead?" she asks him. He nods. "Now if I die, who's going to run this place, hm?" she asks him. "Gloria is a very powerful witch." Klaus informs them. "I can slow the aging down. Herbs and spells, don't worry it will catch up to me one day." she tells them and then eyes Serena. "Look who no longer need to jump bodies anymore." Gloria states and Serena smirks to herself.
"You look good considering that you were in a coffin for the past thousand years." she tells her, Stefan and Klaus looks between the two. "Correction, my body was in a coffin for thousand years, my mind however…" Serena states and Gloria smiles at her. "Can't keep a Sorceress down, can't you?" she questions. "What can I say, Chicago was a magical place, couldn't pass up a chance." she tells her with a shrug. "Stefan, why don you go and fix us up a little something from behind the bar?" Klaus asks him, Stefan just smirks at him. "Yeah sure thing." Stefan tells him and walks up to the bar.
Klaus then looks back at Gloria, "You look ravishing by the way." Klaus fatter her, "Don't." she tells him, holding up her hand, getting to stop. "I know why you're here, a Hybrid out to make more hybrids. Kind of news travels." she tells him as the three took a seat. "So what am I doing wrong, I broke the curse." Klaus tells her, Stefan listens in. "Well obviously you did something wrong, Serena?" she asks the Sorceress, she shrugs her shoulders. "He had his witch, the moonstone, the werewolf, the vampire and the Sorceress doppelganger, killed at three. The curse went right." she tells her and Klaus glares at her.
Serena sighs, feeling like she was dealing with a child. "Look every spell has a loop hole in and one just as old as this one… well…" she starts and then looks over at Gloria. "We have to contact the witch that who created it." Gloria answers and Klaus looks at her, "Well that would be the original witch, she's very dead." Klaus states, "And may she stay that way." Serena mumbles under her breath, but Klaus and Stefan heard her, "And for me to contact her, I need help." Gloria adds as Stefan took notice of a certain photo. "Bring me Rebekah." Gloria tells him.
Serena looks over at Klaus as he just smirks to himself, looking all over the bar. "Rebekah. Rebekah… is a bit preoccupied." Klaus answers her. "You mean, laying in a coffin when you stake her?" Serena questions him and he looks at her, then winded his arm over and places it on Serena's shoulder. "And how do you know this, Love?" he questions her. She smirks, "You'll figure it out soon." she answers him, "She has what I need, bring her to me." Gloria tells him and Stefan turns to them.
"What is this?" Stefan asks, getting the three's attention. Klaus pulls his arm back from Serena's shoulders and stood up, "Like Serena and I said before, Chicago's a magical place." Klaus tells him, then Stefan looks back at the photo then back at Klaus. "But this is me… with you." Stefan said showing him the photo.
~8~8~8~
Samathea and Damon arrive at an abandon apartment building, "Stefan could of chosen to live anywhere in Chicago and he chose this?" Samathea asks him as they walk through the hall. "It use to be an all girl's highschool all around the corner, but it's been shut down for attendance issues, weird." he states as they walk up to a door, "If you're trying to scare me into giving up and going back, it's not going to work." she tells him.
Damon looks at her and shush her, then grips the handle and pulls it right off and pushes the door open and the two walk into the apartment, "Here we are, Stefan's second personality home." Damon states as Samathea looks around. "He obviously hasn't been here." Samathea states as she wipes some of the dust off. "The tour's not over yet." he tells her, walking past her, then up to a cupboard, checking the side and Samathea heard something click, he opens a hidden room, then nudge his head and she walks over to him. Damon turns on the light and there were bottles of blood. "Stefan hid his alcohol, what a monster." she states.
"Look harder." Damon tells her, she did so and walks into the rook and saw names written in on the side, "It's a list of names." she states and she saw that it was three very long lists, "Are these all his victims?" she states pressing her hand to the lists, feeling the pain and hearing his victims screaming for mercy. She stiffens and pulls her hand back. "Still handling it?" Damon questions as he walks out of the closet.
Samathea calms her breathing and turns to him, "What were you doing in 1912, paving the wave for women liberation?" Samathea questions him, "I was around, Chicago was a big city, Stefan was a cocky ripper douge." Damon states. Samathea crosses her arms and walks up to him, "I could avoid him and indulge in a few Daisy be-cannons and all." he states with a smirk and Samathea scoffs at him, then Damon turns her back to her, "Where are you going?" she asks him. "To his old stopping ground. "I'm coming with you." Samathea tells him uncrossing her arms and took a step forward.
"No, you stay here and actually whip up an actual plan." Damon tells her as he opens the door, she looks at him and dis-belief, "I'll come back when I find them." Damon tells her and left out the door, leaving Samathea alone.
~8~8~8~
Serena walks through the door first as Klaus and Stefan followed her, "This doesn't make any sense, why don't I remember you?" Stefan asks Klaus, "I'm curious on how Serena was even there." Klaus states as he eyes Serena. "Stefan said it himself, that time had a lot of dark holes." Serena answers as she flips her hair our of her face.
"If you knew me, then why didn't you say anything?" Stefan questions Klaus, "I'm a little busy right now, Memory line left way…" Klaus starts, but Stefan grips his arm and spun him back around, making Klaus look at him. Serena stops and looks at them both. "What the hell is going on, answer me?" Stefan demands of him. Klaus took a hold of his arm and pulls Stefan's hand off his arm as Serena walks back over to them, "Let's just say we didn't get off to a brilliant start, to be honest, I hated you." Klaus answers him. Serena place her hand on her hip and sighs. "You almost tore his head off, if I didn't step in." Serena states as the two look at her.
~Flashback~
Serena watches from her booth as Stefan and Rebekah were feeding off a random woman. They both pulled away and Rebekah and Stefan roughly kiss each other, Serena gags and downs her drink.
Then Stefan eyes her necklace, "It's beautiful." he tells her, "A witch gave it to me, supposedly it's magical." she whispers to him, "And is it?" Stefan asks her, "It brought me love, didn't it?" she asks him back and they kiss each other again. Serena shook her head at the two wanting them to stop already and as if her pray was answer, Klaus walks up to them, "It's late Rebekah. We're leaving." he tells her, griping her arm, pulling her away from Stefan.
Serena turns to them, seeing Rebekah take her arm back, "Get off me!" she snaps at him. Then Stefan stood up, "Who is this guy?" Stefan questions, then Rebekah rushes in front of him. "Stefan don't, he'll kill you." Rebekah tells him as she presses her hand to his chest, then Rebekah looks at him, "Nik's a lot stronger then he looks." she warns him and he rest his hand on her shoulder. Klaus just looks at Stefan, "So this is the famous Stefan Salvatore, I've been hearing so much about. You're right, he does have funny hair." Klaus states, but Rebekah just glares at him.
Stefan just chuckles and Klaus looks at Rebekah, "I'm bored, I want to go." he tells her, she takes a step forward. "Then go ahead without me, I'm not your girlfriend." she tells him. "No, you're my sister." Klaus reminds her, then grips her arm, "Which means you have to do exactly what I say." Klaus tells her, turning her about and presses her back into his chest. Serena smirks then stood up, "What's wrong with Rebekah having a little fun, Nik?" she questions as walks up and stood next to Stefan. Klaus notices her, "I don't who you are, love. But you don't want to mess with me." he warns her, Serena just smirks. "I believe it's the other way around… you don't want to mess with me." she tells him, taking a step forward within arm's reach.
Stefan make an 'Oh' and backs up, Klaus tilts his head to the side and then pushes Rebekah back into the booth and he kept his lock on her, then suddenly grips her throat, crushing the bones in his hand, but she just look at him, showing no effect of pain, he then realize that her throat in his hand wasn't crushing under his fingers at all. She grips his wrist and his bones really were breaking under her hand, he grunts as she manage to make him let go and pulls his hand off with else then pushes his hand away from her.
He grunts in pain, griping his wrist, then looks back at Serena, she sigh and places her hands on her hips, "Is that all you got?" she questions, then Klaus knew those words from anywhere. "Serena…" he mumbles and she smirks at him, "Hello Nik." she states as her blue eyes shine.
~End of Flashback~
"You're sister… so I knew another original vampire and we first meet in Chicago in 1912?" Stefan asks them, Serena shrugs. Then Klaus walks off, "If you can't handle it, then don't ask." Klaus states, Serena sighs and follows after him, they all walk up to a coffin and Klaus opens it and there was Rebekah, laying in her coffin.
Klaus and Serena looks down at her with soft eyes and Klaus getting strokes her cheek. Stefan steps up from behind Serena. "I don't recognize her." Stefan tells them. "Don't tell her that, Rebekah's temper is worse then mine." Klaus warns him and then pulls the dagger out and he gave it to Serena as she held the dagger.
The three waited an hour, but Rebekah showed now sighs of waking up, "Any day now. Rebekah." Klaus tells her and Serena huff as Stefan pace, "She's being dramatic." he states, "Look why don't you just… tell me what the hell is going on, you obviously want Serena and I here for a reason." Stefan tells him. "Well you do have any useful talents." Klaus states, Serena sighs as she crosses her arms. "In fact, I learn some of my favorite tricks from you." Klaus tells him as Serena rolls her eyes.
~Flashback~
Stefan sat next to Rebekah who sat next to Klaus, who was sitting very close to Serena as she was leaning against Klaus as they all sat in the booth. "So Stefan enlighten me, what makes you worthy of an original like my sister?" Klaus questions him as he wraps his arm around Serena's waist, holding her close. "She is pure vampire and you are no more then the deltoids bloodline." Klaus adds on.
Serena smacks him in the chest, and he looks at her with a smirk, "Don't listen to him, Stefan. Nik's a leftist." Rebekah informs Stefan as Klaus looks at them and raise his eyebrows with a smirk. "And where's the rest of your family?" Stefan asks him, "Well lets see…" Nik states as he and Serena sat up straight. "I kill most of them." he answers. "But not all." Rebekah states and Serena nods. "And you're okay with that?" Stefan asks the both of the girls. They look at him, "Well we all had the chance to pick a side and I choice the right one, eventually." Rebekah states as she lightly grips Klaus hand.
He smiles at her and Stefan looks at Serena who smiles, "I would be long dead, if it wasn't for Nik, and I just knew his side was the right one." she answers and leans her head against Klaus's chest. He smiles, pleases his hand on her shoulder and kisses her on the head. Then suddenly Liam walks up and over to them, "Where the hell is my wife?!" he answers, the three originals look at Stefan and then looks back at Liam, Klaus pulls his arm back down to her waist. "I don't know, I give up." he answers and Serena covers her mouth, to keep herself from laughing.
"You think you're so tough, hiding in you bar, drinking your liquorice, a telephone to Chicago P.D might set you straight." Liam threats them, then Serena pulls her hand away "Oh please good sir, we're only having fun." she pouts and then the three laugh, as Serena laughs with them, he fakes a laugh, then Stefan looks over at the woman at the stairs, "Lyell!" he calls out, getting Lyell's attention, "Lyell, come here for a second." Stefan tells her and she dose so, the Liam turns to her. "Come on, we're getting out of here." he tells her, but Stefan grips his arm and Liam looks at him, "Oh, nonono. You're sitting." Stefan tells him and Randy and Lyell do so, Klaus scoots over close to Rebekah as Liam sat down next to Serena.
And Lyell sat down next to Stefan, Liam looks at Serena and she raise her eyebrows at him and leans in closer next to Klaus, with her hand press to his chest. Stefan pulls off Lyell's glove, then pulls out knife, making Klaus curious. "Stefan, don't be mean." Rebekah teases as Stefan pulls out the blade. "What the hell are you doing?" Liam questions and Stefan cuts Lyell's wrist and blood pour into the glass. They all watch as the glass was full. The Stefan places the blade away, "Thank you so much for that, Lyell, dear. What do you go and bandage that up." he tells her and she left the booth.
"I'd like you to join me for a drink." Stefan tells him, pushing the glass to him, Liam looks at them as Stefan leans back against the booth seat, "What kind of sick freaks are you?" he questions them, then Serena leans in close to his ear, "The kind you should of really be careful of messing with." she whispers, then leans back against Klaus, Liam looks at her then at Stefan, "I said drink." he tells him. Liam just panic a little, then took a hold of the glass, Klaus watches as Liam takes a sip, but then coughs it up, the three laugh at him, "I don't catch your name." Stefan tells him, "L…" he tries to say his name, but stutters more. Making the three laugh even more. "Liam. Liam Grant." he answers.
"Liam Grant." Stefan exclaims, leaning back, "Have another sip, Liam." Stefan tells him, then Klaus and Serena lightly tap their glasses to his and laugh. Liam then pulls the glass back to his lips, Stefan leans forward. "Finish it." Stefan tells him and Liam does so. They all laugh at him.
~End of Flashback~
"I was your number one fan." Klaus tells him, as the three walk through the warehouse, "Why should I believe any of this?" Stefan ask him, then Serena looks at her, "Have I lie once to you, Stefan?" Serena asks him as Klaus looks at the guard, "When she wakes up, tell her to meet us at Gloria's bar. Then volunteer your crocadentry and let her fed until you die." Klaus tells him, the guard nods at him, and the three walk off.
"Where are you going?" Stefan asks him, "You think I'm lying Stefan, you and knew each other, you even trusted me with one of your secrets and now I'm going to prove it to you." Klaus tells him, "How?" Stefan asks him. "By going to your old apartment." Klaus answer and the two look at each other.
~8~8~8~
Damon walks onto the bar that was now open, looking around. Then saw the own, she places the glasses away and went to clean the counter, but then saw Damon, "Well, look what the wind blew in, last I heard you hated this place." Gloria tells him.
"Gloria, damn. If I knew you were going to age like this, I would of stuck around." Damon tells her, sitting at the bar. She scoffs, "I always did like you better, but I see your brother is still running in the wrong crowd." she state, getting more glasses. "You've seen him?" Damon asks her, she turns and looks at him, "With Klaus, bad combo." she warns him, pouring a drink. "Do you know where they went?" he asks her.
She looks at him and then places the glass down, "They'll be back later tonight, they're running a little errand for me." she answers him pushing the glass to him, "Gloria." Damon starts, placing his hand on hers and she looks at him, "W. . What kind of Errand?" he asks her. She smirks at him, running her fingers over his hand, "I don't think so, you may be cute, but you're still a vampire." she tells him with a smile then pulls her hands back and walks off.
~8~8~8~
Back at Stefan's apartment, Samathea was sitting on the bed, reading over Stefan's journal. Seeing that Lexie was getting Stefan to fight on becoming clean from the human blood, but he stop around 1934. Samathea smiles as she read that Lexie was now working on getting Stefan to smile.
She closes the journal and just as there, but she gasp softly as she heard Klaus and Stefan's voices, she then stiffens.
Klaus walks up to the door and saw that the handle was missing, Klaus looks at the two and kicks the door open, then he steps in, "Do you feel that?" Klaus asks them as they look at him, he turns to them, "Is anybody here?" he asks them. Serena looks around seeing then two faded finger marks on the dust covered book, she skillfully erases it before Klaus even notices.
"It's be been bacon for decades, people must break in all the time." Stefan states as he looks around." Stefan answers him. Samathea hid in Stefan's blood storage room as the three were in the apartment. "Why did you bring me here?" Stefan asks him, "Your friend, Liam Grant, the one that drank his wife's blood." Klaus states, then the two look at him, "I never could figure out why you wanted his name, and then you told me your little secret." Klaus said to him. Serena stares at him as she moves around the room, "It was all apart of your little ritual." Klaus tells him, the two look at him.
Samathea looks at the names on the all and there his was; Liam Grant. 'Burn.' she mouths to herself and press the back of her head to wall.
"To write it down." Stefan mumbles, "And relive the kill. Over and over again." Klaus answers him, Serena looks at Stefan. Then she looks back at Klaus as he walks over to the cupboards and pulls the hidden door open. Samathea pulls her hand to her mouth, covers it and doesn't make a sound. Klaus shows the two the bottle of blood that was left behind and Klaus looks at Stefan. "Do you believe me now?" Klaus questions and Serena walks to the storage room and Stefan followed after her. Samathea slowly pulls her hand from her mouth hearing the two sets of foot steps come towards her.
She looks to her left, seeing both Serena and Stefan, they both turn and saw Samathea hiding next to the list of names. Klaus moves away, looking around; the two lock eyes with Samathea as she smiles at them, 'Hi guys.' she mouths, Serena smiles at her, 'Hello Samathea.' she said back to her as Stefan just looks at her, surprise that she was even there.
"Look what we found." Stefan calls out, Klaus turns to them as Samathea looks at him in shock, Serena nods at Samathea as she pulls out the bottle and handed it to Stefan. Then they both turn to Klaus. "1918. signal morg." Stefan tells him, holding out the bottle to Klaus and he looks up at him, "My favorite." he states and takes the bottle. "Lets go and find someone to pair it with." Klaus states and walks off. Stefan and Serena sigh and then Stefan closes the door and they followed after him.
Samathea left out a breath of air that she was holding, as her heart was hammering in her chest.
~8~8~8~
Later on, Samathea was holding behind a wall with a vervein dart in her hand, being prepared this time, she then heard someone walk to the door and her eyes were glue to the door. But the door opens and there entered Damon with a bag over his shoulder. Samathea sighs and then steps out from behind the wall, walking up to him. "There you are, I called you an hour ago." she tells him. He pulls the bag off his shoulder and tosses it to her.
Samathea catches it and looks at him, "Make yourself look presentable, I know where Stefan's going to be tonight." he tells her with a smiles, "I practicality tell you that I was almost discovered by Klaus and you're worry about what I'm wearing?" she questions him, "I had about an hour to realize how it was a bad idea to leave you here alone, processes it and move on." he tells her. She looks at him, "Are you okay?" he asks. He was worrying horribly bad for her, she nods, "A little rattle, but okay." she answers. "Good, now get dress. You're all road triply and gross." he tells her.
Then she takes a step forward. "Do you really know where's he's going to be?" she asks him, "Yeas, with Klaus. So I'll distract Klaus and you'll dead with Stefan and Serena." he tells her, she nods at him, "Okay, thank you." she tells him. Damon narrows his eyes at her and then stood up from his seat, "But you have about five minutes tops before that Hybrid freak rips my heart out." he warns her, stepping closer to her. "So please, tell me you can do this." he asks her and she looks at him in the eyes. "I can do this."
~8~8~8~
Gloria served Klaus, Stefan and Serena, "Where's Rebekah?" Gloria asks him, "She'll be here, you can't conger her on demand." Klaus tells her, she smirks at him and takes off. Then Klaus looks at Stefan as he was gloomy. "What's with you, I thought Chicago was your playground?" Klaus asks him, then Stefan turns to him. "This is why you ask me to be your wing man, because you like the way I tortured people, innocent people. And the reason why you brought Serena along was to restore the damage relationship between you both." Stefan states, making Serena stiffen in her spot, she then drinks her beer.
"That is one half of the reason why I brought you here." Klaus tells him, "And what's the other half?" Stefan questions. "The other half is that you Stefan, wanted to be my wing man." Klaus answers him, pouring glass shots and slides one over to him.
~Flashback~
Klaus catches the glass shot in his hand and downs it. Serena saw sitting next to him, with her arms wrap around his arm. "They're jealous, you're family wants you dead because they can never be what you are." Stefan tells him, as Klaus places his glass shot down. "An abomination." Klaus answers. Serena looks at him, shook her head and place her hand on his chest.
"No." Stefan answers, placing his hand on his back, "A king." Stefan tells him and Klaus looks at him, "And you have a queen right next to you." Stefan adds and Klaus looks at Serena. She looks at him with her head leaning against his arm, her arms wrap loosely around his and she smiles sweetly at him, Klaus smiles at her and kisses her forehead and looks back at Stefan and the two smile at each other. "Aw… look at us, three sad orphans." Klaus sighs, Stefan nods and sips his drink.
Then Stefan looks up at Rebekah, who smiles at him, Klaus looks up at her them turns to Stefan. "My sister fancy's you, you know." Klaus tells him. Stefan just 'hm' at him, "But I should warn you, Rebekah doesn't do anything have speed. Even falling in love, so be careful. She's totally mad." Klaus warns him, then the two laugh as Serena playfully smacks his chest. "I appreciate the advice." Stefan tells him as the barterer survives them drinks, "And when ah… the point comes, when she inevitably leaves you. She can't help it, it's who she is." Klaus tells him as he wraps his arm around Serena's waist, pulling her in close. "Don't let your heart do anything stupid." Klaus warns him. Stefan nods at him, as Serena leans her head against his shoulder. "You know what, you're a good friend Nik. I'm glad I meet you." Stefan said holding out his glass to him.
~End of Flashback~
Stefan looks down at the glass and at Klaus as Klaus and Serena looks at him, "To friendship." Klaus tells him and the two tap their glasses together and Klaus down his and Serena just drank her beer.
~8~8~8~
The three sat there at the bar for gos knows no long as Klaus pours himself a drink, "So I'm confused, if we were such great friends, then why do I only know you as the hybrid dick." Stefan starts, Serena snickers at that, but covers it up as Klaus looks at him. "That sacrifice my girlfriend's twin sister on an altar of fire?" Stefan questions him.
Klaus smirks to himself as Stefan sips his whiskey, Serena stop smiling then fiddles with her hair, "Well all good thing must come to an end." Klaus answers him.
~Flashback~
Stefan and Rebekah were dancing on in the crowd, enjoying their time, some people were getting their photo taken, others laugh and in a dark corner. Klaus had Serena on his lap, both of their lips feverishly at one others. His hands roams all over her white dress, one of her sleeves were slip off her shoulders that had hickey marks all over.
Serena moans as she grips both sides of Klaus's head. He then stood up from the seat and set her on the table, pushing her dress up a bit and stood in between her legs. Klaus this pulls away from her lips and nibbles and bites at her ear lope, she stiffens in his arms, then wraps her arms tightly under his shoulder. "Nik…" she moans in delight, he pulls his mouth away from her ear. "Serena…" he whispers.
He was pushing her closer and closer over the edge, but then a very familiar and a very unwelcoming presence washes over her, she stops and looks around the bar. Klaus notices her silence and pulls back and looks at her, "Serena…" he asks her, but then saw her alerted look in her eyes and he then looks around the bar as well. They both listen to the sounds in the bar, Klaus pulls Serena off the table and straightens out her dress. Then once sound catches their interest. "It's the police. The Chicago police!" a man shouts out and gun fire went off.
Making everyone take cover, Serena watches as everyone ran along like frighten mice, then Klaus finishes his drink and walks off, pulling Serena along. She then saw a few of the bullets at her feet, she stops and picks a few up, Klaus turns to her and looks at her hand, "They're wooden." she mumbles and looks up at him, both of their looks turn to fear, "He's here." Klaus mumbles. Serena shook her head, "I'm not ready yet, I'm not strong enough to face him." she mumbles, clutching the bullets in her hand. Klaus looks at her and went to say something but suddenly Serena gasp as she stagger and Klaus catches her in his arms.
He felt something warm and wet meet his hand, so he pulls it back and saw that it was blood, Serena was shot. "No… nononono…" Klaus said fanatically as he drags Serena to a wall, leans her against it and she slides down it, hand to her wound and still was processing what just happen and the sudden pain in her body. She then coughs up blood as it waterfalls down her mouth, "Serena…" Klaus starts, she looks at him, "Klaus, get out of here. Take Rebekah and go." she tells him, but she shook his head, "No without you!" he tells her and she smiles at him.
Serena then grips the back of Klaus's neck and press her lips to his then pulls back, "You will forget about ever meeting me here tonight, you will also make Stefan forget as well, then take Rebekah and run." she compels him, Klaus's look went blank, then Serena took her last breath and went limp and her hand falls to her side. Klaus blinks and looks at the dead red head, shakes it off and took up, leaving the redhead at the wall as she was dead. "Rebekah, come on, we got to go sweetheart!" Klaus shouts out walks pass the frighten people. Rebekah stood up behind the bar along with Stefan. "What the hell is going on?!" Stefan shouts as Klaus took a hold of Rebekah's hand and they ran off.
"Stefan!" Rebekah shouts back, her necklace falling off her neck, "Go!" Klaus tells her, pushing her along and out of Gloria's bar. Stefan notices her necklace and went to retrieve it for Rebekah, but Klaus stops him. "Stefan…" Klaus starts and Stefan looks at him as he lightly pushes Stefan forward. "I'm sorry but the fun has to end here." Klaus tells him, "What are you talking about?" Stefan asks him, confused, then Klaus places his hands on Stefan's shoulder. "You must forget about Rebekah and me. Until I say otherwise, you never knew us Stefan." Klaus compels him.
"Thank you, Stefan. I had forgotten what is was like to have a brother." Klaus said to him and then vanishes when Stefan blink, wondering what he was doing just now and then walks off.
~End of Flashback~
Stefan looks at the two, "You compel me to forget." Stefan states, Klaus wasn't smiling at all and nor was Serena. "As Serena tells us, that she compel me to forget about her as well, but it was time for Rebekah and I to move on. Better to have a clean slate." Klaus states and downs his drink. "But why, you shouldn't have to cover your tracks." Stefan states.
Klaus looks at him as Serena stiffens, her hand lightly griping her beer. "Unless… you're running from someone." Stefan states and Serena hand grip even tighter, "Story time's over." Klaus tells him and looks away, then Serena looks at Stefan and they both look behind and saw Damon in the bar. He nudge his head to the side and walks out of sight.
Stefan looks at Serena and she nudge her head to Damon, telling Stefan to follow him and to stay behind. "I need another drink. A real one." Stefan tells him. Klaus tells him go, Stefan down his drink and left the two. "Why did you compel me to forget about you?" Klaus as Serena and she looks at him. "You need a clean slate and I didn't want to reopen any wounds between, I just want to not be angry at what you said to Elijah to effect forever. So I deiced to let go for a little while and went to see you." she tells him as Gloria serve her a glass of bourbon. "You knew I was going to be there." he said as he looks at her, she smiles, "I know you best Nik, you can't hid anything from me." she said to him and takes a sip.
Klaus sighs, as she places her glass down, "But um to let you think I hate you was the best thing I could think of if…" she starts and Klaus saw the look in her eyes, "If he ever found us and I would of known where you were hiding." Klaus finishes, "I knew where my coffin was hidden, and he still wants to kill me for what I did to him and if he found me in that body… well I think you know what he'd do if he ever found my body." she states and took another sip. Klaus looks at her, then places his hand over hers. Making her places her drink down and look at him, "You know I won't let him touch you." he tells her, she smiles. "What about the whole 'Love is a weakness.'?" she asks him.
Klaus smiles and weaves their fingers together, "From day one, that's I've known you, you have never been weak, you are strong, powerful and always figured a way out of impossible situations." he tells her, Serena smiles at that and places her other hand over his. "You are not my weakness, Serena. You are my strength ad I will kill anyone that will try and take you away from me." he tells her and she giggles. "Are you getting romantic on me, Nik?" she asks him, he looks at her, "You wish." he chuckles as Serena laughs a little.
~8~8~8~
Damon walks outside into the street as it was night, closing the door behind him, looking around. Then Stefan vamps up at him and shoves his against the car and grips his collar. "What the is wrong with you?" Stefan questions him, "What is wrong with you?" Damon shut back at him, then pushes him off. "You kill Andy one day, you save my live the next, what are you? Bad, good, pick one." Damon snaps at him. "Klaus almost saw Samathea today, you have to get her out of Chicago." Stefan warns him.
"She's not going anywhere, until she and Elena got you check into vampire rehab mint, trust me, I've tried." Damon tells her. "She is the key to everything that Klaus needs, he can't know that she's alive." Stefan tells him, "What are you talking about?" Damon asks him, "Sam was suppose to die in the sacrifice and she didn't, now Klaus can't recreate new hybrids, his witch is seconds away from figuring that out." Stefan informs him and Damon soaks in the new information. "Tell Samathea to go home and Elena to forget about me." Stefan said to him.
Damon looks at him then lightly nudge his head to the side, "Tell Samathea that yourself." Damon said to him and Stefan looks over and saw Samathea was standing a few feet away from them. She was wearing a red tank-top, cut off jeans the reach to her knees, flats and her wavy hair sat in her shoulder.
~8~8~8~
Serena now napping from drinking too much, Klaus down at her, smiles and lightly brushes her hair behind her ear. Then then pulls his hand away and drinks his Bourbon, then Damon walks back into the bar and sat down next to Klaus. Klaus just smiles to himself as Serena flutters her eyes open. "I see that they have open the doors to the riffraff now." Klaus states, Serena leans off the bar and stretches her muscles, "Oh honey, I've been called worse." Damon tells him and Klaus smirks, Serena shook her head at him, knowing Damon wanted to be killed.
The three sat their for know how long as Klaus twirls a mini umbrella in his hands. "You don't give up, do you?" Klaus questions him. "Give me my brother back and you'll never have to see me again." Damon offers him, "Well you see I am talk and I did promise Stefan that I wouldn't let you die, but how many freebes did I sign up for and clearly you want to die, otherwise you wouldn't be here." Klaus tells him as Serena face palms.
Damon shugs at him, "What can I say, I'm a thrill seeker." Damon tells him with a smirk, Klaus smirks and his hand threw out and grips Damon's throat. Serena sighs, "Here he goes again."
~8~8~8~
"You shouldn't be here." Stefan tells Samathea as he walks up to her, "You think I wasn't going come and save, if that's the case, you're mistaken." Samathea tells him, Stefan smiles on the inside, grateful that Samathea never give up on her friends, but he didn't show it.
"What do you want, Damon won't be able to distract Klaus for long." Stefan tells her and she takes a step to him, "Please come home, Elena misses you." she tells him. He just looks at her and she pulls her arms up and wraps them around his mid-center hugs him. "Everyone misses you." she tells him, Stefan just stood there and Samathea looks down at the vervein dart in her hand, but she hesitated to use it, then suddenly Stefan vamps out of her hug and grips her wrist tightly, she gasp in shock as he makes her drop the vervein dart. "How much more clear do I have to make it, I don't want to come home." he snarls at her and tosses her arm back at her.
~8~8~8~
Klaus left Damon off the seat and in the air, then he stabs him multiple times, purposely missing his heard, Serena was very annoy. "You want a partner in time, forget Stefan, I am so much better." Damon chokes out to him, Klaus just smirks, throws Damon at a table, breaking it, Serena stood up abruptly, "Nik!" she exclaims.
"Sorry Love, just need to teach Damon here a lesson." Klaus tells her, then walks over to a chair, breaking off the leg, Damon just laid their and groans. "You won't be any fun after you're dead." Klaus tells him, kneeling over him and raise the stake up, but then the stake catches fire, Klaus looks at it and saw that Serena had her hand raise.
It then shot out of Klaus's hand and into her, the fire vanishes, he sighs as Gloria steps out. "Really Serena?" he whines at her as she places her fist on her hips, Damon raises his head and looks at her. "And sit back and let you destroy Gloria's bar anymore, un-uh. You want to kill him you take it outside." Serena snaps at him, pointing at the door.
Klaus sighs and looks back at Damon and shoves him back down, "You don't have to negotiate your brother's freedom, when I'm done with him, he won't want to go back." Klaus informs him and stood up and left Damon on the floor, who groans and rolls to the side.
~8~8~8~
"Klaus is obsesses with siring his own hybrids, the second he knows you're alive, he'll figure out why it's not working." Stefan informs her. "Look I know you're trying to protect me, but I can't let you do it, come back, please." she asks him, "And what do you except if I do, huh?" Stefan snaps at her.
"It's never going to be the same, Sam." he tells her, as she stiffens, "I know that." she tells him and he looks at her. "I don't think you do. I left bodies scattered from Florida to Tennessee. Innocent people, humans…" he tells her. "Lexie found you like this before in the 20s and she saved you." Samathea said to him. "And you know what I did after that, I spent thirties years, trying to pull myself together, to a vampire that's nothing, "But to you and Elena, that's half your live." he adds on.
"I can't just give up on you Stefan. Elena and I won't give up." she said to him, "Yes you can, because it's done, that part of my life is done, I don't want to see you or Elena, I don't want to be with Elena or your friend." he went on, and Samathea was shock at his words and took a step back. "I just want you to go." he tells her and the words were last in Samathea's mouth as she just looks at him. Stefan then turns his back to her and walks off, with a frown of regret on his face.
Samathea just stood in her spot, a tear streams down her cheek as she pulls her hand to her hair and grips a handful.
~8~8~8~
Damon walks to his car and seat in the drivers sit, and then looks over at Samathea, she was lightly griping her necklace as her face was stain with tears, "Are you okay?" he asks her, Samathea just looks out the window.
"Just drive. I don't want to be here anymore." she tells him, Damon nods at her and then cars up the car.
~8~8~8~
Klaus and Serena walk back into the warehouse to Rebekah's coffin and saw that the guard was laying dead on the ground and Rebekah was missing from her coffin. Klaus looks around, "Rebekah… it's your big brother." Klaus calls out as Serena steps away from the coffin. "Come out, come out, wherever you are." he went on then Rebekah vamps in front of him, shoving him against the large railing and stabs him in the chest with the dagger, he gasp in shock, "Go to hell, Nik!" she snaps at him.
~Flashback~
"Hurry up Rebekah!" Klaus tells her as he opens the door to their car, but Rebekah just stood there, waiting, Serena was in her spirit form again as she paces back and forth. "Lets go!" he said to her. "He'll be here any second." she said to him. And he walks up to her, "Do you want to die?" he asks her and she looks at him, "We've been found, we need to move." he tells her. "Not without Stefan." she insisted.
"Stefan's not coming." he tells her and the two looks at him, "We have to disappear, he'll draw too much attention, let him go." he tells her and her eyes start to water, "What did you do?" Rebekah questions him as Serena face palms. But he grips Rebekah's arm. "Come on, we don't have time for one of your tantrums." he tells her, pulling her along. But she pulls her arm out of her grip, "I don't want to run anymore, Nik!" she snaps, staying in her spot and Klaus looks at her.
"All we do is run, I want to be with Stefan." she tells him, and Serena looks at her in shock "Fine then choose, him or me." he offers her and she glares at him, then closes her eyes. "That's what I thought, now get in the truck, lets go." he tells her walking to the front. "Good-bye Nik." Rebekah said to him, making him stop from entering the truck and Serena took at a step back. Then as Rebekah turns to leave, Klaus appears in front of her and thrust the dagger into her chest. Rebekah inhaled sharply as Serena gasp in horror, covering her mouth. Klaus took a step back as her skin started to turn gray and she looks down at the dagger.
~End of Flashback~
Klaus grips a hold of the dagger and pulls it out of his chest and he drops it to the side, Rebekah glares at him. "Don't pout, you knew it wouldn't kill me." he tells her, "I know, I was hopping that it would hurt more." she tells him, then turns and saw Serena. Her eyes pulse and fang showed. "Anastasia." she snarls, then vamps at her and grips her neck, crushing it in her hand.
But Serena just looks at her, not amused at all and Rebekah notices that her wasn't crushing her bones at all, then Serena pulls up her hand, grips Rebekah's wrist tightly and then easily pulls her hand off her neck and Rebekah was in shock and then glares at her as Serena tilts her head to the side. "Is that all you got?" she questions her, Rebekah quits with her glare, fangs vanished eyes return to their original state as she knew who said those words before. "Serena?" she asks her and Serena smiles at her.
"Hello Becky." she said to her, letting go of her wrist and Rebekah hugs her. Serena giggles at her and hugs her back. Then Rebekah moves out and they walk next each other, "How are you awake?" Rebekah asks her, Serena shrugs. "Guess it was the right time to wake up." she tells her, Rebekah just smiles at her, then Klaus walks up to them. "I understand you're upset with me, Rebekah." Klaus states and places his hand on her shoulder, the two stop and looks at him, Rebekah was not please. "So… I'm going to let that go, just this once." he tells her and she just glares at him.
"Brought you a little peace offering." he tells her then looks ahead of them. "You can come in." he calls out, Rebekah looks ahead of them and saw Stefan walk in the room, she smile with joy. "Stefan." she said with relief. But he just looks at her in confusion. And so Klaus walks up to him and places his hand on his shoulder. "Now you remember." Klaus orders him and Stefan's memories came rushing back at him as he remembers everything. He then opens his eyes and looks at her, she smiles a little at him, "Rebekah." he states and slowly walks to her. "Stefan." Klaus calls out and Stefan turns to him as he remembers even more.
~Flashback~
The two were sitting at the bar, "Hey, hey buddy." Stefan calls out, stopping a photographer. "Take a picture of my brother and me." Stefan tells him and the two poses for him.
~End of Flashback~
"I remember you, we were friends." Stefan said to him, Klaus just smirks at him. "We are friends." Klaus tells him, stepping to him and places his hand on his shoulder, "And now it's my turn." Serena states, Stefan and Klaus turn to her as she walks up to the boys, stood in front of Klaus and gently grips the sides of his head.
"Now remember." she whispers and Klaus remember Serena as she was in the redhead's body, she was dancing with him, sitting at a booth, laughing, having a few drinks and making out with him in a booth by themselves. Klaus looks at her and she pulls back her hands back and Klaus gently strokes her cheek. He then looks at Rebekah, "Now the reason why you're here." he tells her and walks back the two. "Gloria tells me, that you know how to contact the Original witch." Klaus tells her.
"The original witch?" Rebekah questions him, "Do you have what Gloria need?" Klaus asks her, Rebekah sighs and then her hand went to her neck and her expression went blanket, she feels around, then looks down and saw something was missing. "Where's my necklace?" Rebekah starts then looks at Klaus. "What did you do with it, I never take it off." she said to him. "I don't know I didn't touch it." Klaus answers her, Stefan and Serena sigh in their spots. "We need to find it, Nik!" she raises her voice to him, "Tell me that's not what she needs." Klaus asks her, "We need to find it now, I want it back!" she shouts. "Tell me that's what not she needs, Rebekah!" Klaus snaps at her.
Stefan shot a look at Serena as she mirrors his look, then Rebekah turns to her coffin, dug around inside and under her pillow, the slams the top shut and slips it onto the ground. Angry, very, very angry.
~8~8~8~
Damon walks into the living room, on the phone with Katherine, "Ok, you were right, he was there." he tells her walking up to the drinks. "I'm always right, let me guess it ended in tears and heartbreak?" she asks him as he shuffles through the drinks, "Where are you?" he asks her. "Why, do you want to come and rub sunscreen on my back?" she teases.
"I'm thinking Europe, Italy maybe or Spain. You were always a sucker for those lazy afternoons." he tells her and sips his bourbon, "Keep guessing Damon, bye-bye." Katherine said and then hung up.
~Flashback~
The Chicago Police wonders through the now deserted bar, a woman walks up to Rebekah's necklace and that woman was Katherine, she looks down at it and then. She then looks over and saw Stefan walking around. She quickly vamps away and hid in the shadows watching him.
Stefan notices the necklace on the ground, kneels down and picks it up. Then a man walks up to them, "Hey kid." he calls out, Stefan turns his attention away from the necklace. "Chicago P.D." he tells him as Stefan stood up and turns to him. "I'm not afraid of you." Stefan tells him, preparing himself, "Oh, I'm not here for you." the informs him and unfolds two peaces of paper, Stefan looks down at it, "Have you seen these three?" he asks them, the pictures were off Klaus, Rebekah and Serena. "No, never since those people before in my life." Stefan answers and the man peaces the paper away, "Wrap it up boys, we're through here." the man calls out and he left Stefan alone.
The young vampire looks down at the necklace as the police started to leave, he then clutches it in his hand and Katherine disappears around into the shadows.
