Third Person POV
Matt was in the high school gym at night working out when he heard a noise. He stopped working out and walked down the dark, empty halls. He heard another noise in a nearby classroom and made his way there. He walked in and it was dark, but when he stepped inside he set off what sounded like multiple mouse traps. Shocked, he turned on the light and saw Tyler, Caroline, Elena and Bonnie hunched over.
"Oh! Oh, come on! Seriously?! Do you know how long it took for us to set all this up?!" Caroline shrieked and stood up, flailing her arms in frustration. Matt looked at them all questioningly as they all seemed a bit frustrated as well. "Forgot about senior prank night, huh?" Tyler asked sitting down on a student desk. "Clearly," Matt replied raising and lowering his eyebrows with pursed lips. "How could you forget? We've only been waiting for this since like freshman year," Caroline said with shock on her face. Oh God, here we go, Matt thought to himself as he rolled his eyes. "Yeah, Matt. If I'm doing this, you're doing this," Elena said teasingly with a smirk. "I'm kind of surprised any of you are doing this," he said rubbing his head with his right hand. "Caroline's making us," Bonnie muttered, rolling her eyes as well.
"We're about to be seniors. These are the memories that will stay with us forever, and if we don't…" "And if we don't create these memories now, then what's the point of it all?" Elena continued Caroline's speech from memory. When will she give that a rest, she thought. "Go ahead and make fun, I don't care," Caroline said holding her arms up in surrender. Tyler then sighed and stood from the desk walking towards the door of the classroom. "You're all lame. And I have ten more classrooms to prank." He grabbed a large bag he filled with things to use on different classes, and then left with Elena getting up to leave too. "Hey! Where are you going?" Bonnie asked accusingly, holding up a finger pointed at Elena, in a childish tattling move. "To superglue Alaric's desk shut," Elena said holding up a small bottle. "I'm making memories." She shrugged her shoulders with pursed lips in a playful way, and then walked out. "I love you!" Caroline yelled as Elena walked out with a smile on her face.
Elena's POV
I walked down the hallway towards Alaric's class when I saw Tyler giving instructions to other students. "Get the faculty toilet seats, and Dana needs bodies in the gym. Let's go," he said as they all separated and went to their designated areas. I laughed, shaking my head, and opened a pair of double doors to continue to walk down the hallway, but came face-to-face with Klaus. I froze with a mixture of fear and shock on my face. What was I supposed to do now? "There's my girl," he said with a smirk on his face. "Klaus!" I yelled as I tried to make a run for it, but that didn't really work out. "You are supposed to be dead. Now what are we going to do about that?" he asked, grabbing my arm roughly and hardly.
Damon's POV
"Are you hungry? Let's stop for a bite. A truck stop. Or a trucker," Katherine said. I rolled my eyes as we drove down the road. "Oh, stop being cute." She gave me a smirk and shrugged her shoulders. "It's not possible." I let out a sigh and leaned my elbow on the window, cupping my hand and placing my cheek in it. "We've been driving around aimlessly for hours. Where are we going?" "Far enough away so that you can't go running back." "Not to worry. Mystic Falls and I are on a bit of a break," I said widening my eyes then giving her a quick smirk, before looking back at the road. "You and Mystic Falls, or you and Elena?" "Let's just say Elena and I are having a bit of difference of opinion on how I should behave."
She nodded her head with raised eyebrows in understanding. "Oh, let me guess… Elena wants you to be the hero, and you don't like playing pretend." "Something like that," I said sighing and shaking my head. "Her loss," she replied shrugging her shoulders and scooting closer to me on the seat. I parked off to the side of the road and took in a deep breath. After a moment, Katherine gently placed a hand on my face and turned it so I was looking at her. She looked into my eyes seductively and leaned in as I did the same. We kissed for a moment when things began to get a bit heated. I pushed her off of me with a sigh and leaned my arm on the window again. "What are you doing?" she asked confused. "I thought I'd give it a shot. Truth is, you just don't do it for me anymore."
Vie's POV
I woke up with a groan and felt that my neck was aching more than usual. "Oh, she lives," I heard Rebekah say sarcastically. "What the hell happened?" I asked as I rubbed my neck and looked around. Still by the truck. That's when I noticed my new clothes. What the hell? "You took a beating. My brother's been breaking your neck all afternoon. Quite the temper. Don't worry, I changed you," she said examining her nails in boredom. I let out a sigh then got up and stretched my body. "So, where is he?" "Well, it didn't take him long to figure out what you've been hiding." "I haven't been hiding anything," I said not being able to meet her eyes. "No, you just failed to mention that the doppelgänger is still alive." I let out a sigh and ran a hand through my messy hair. I turned to her with sad eyes, causing her to let out a sigh. "Where is he Bekah?" "With any luck, ripping that cow's bloody head off."
At her words, I got angry and rushed at her. "Where are they?!" I yelled in her face, pinning her to the floor. She seemed surprised that I was stronger than her, seeing as she still didn't know I was a hybrid. She kicked my stomach, causing me to fall off of her clutching my stomach. "You don't even like her! Why are you protecting her?!" she yelled in frustration as she pushed me against the truck. She took a crowbar and shoved it into my stomach then pushed harder so that it went through the truck as well. "If she dies, I lose my brothers. I can't lose them Bekah," I choked out through sobs of pain and sadness.
Elena's POV
Klaus held my arm tightly as he dragged me through the halls of the high school. "You put a rather large kink in my plans, sweetheart. The whole point of breaking the curse and becoming a hybrid was to make more hybrids. I haven't been able to do that. Now my bet, is it has something to do with the fact that you're still breathing." "If you're going to kill me, just do it!" I yelled, trying to be brave. He chuckled darkly at my words, but continued to drag me through the halls. "Not until I know I'm right. But I do have ways of making you suffer."
I remained silent in fear as he dragged me into the gym where Stefan and a few more students were. "Attention, seniors. You have officially been busted. Prank night is over. Head on home," Klaus yelled in an American accent, which I thought was actually pretty good. "Klaus," Stefan said going into battle mode, but making no move because he had me. "Hello, Stefan. Just a moment," Klaus said smirking over at him then walking to two students. "You two. I remember you." "I'm sorry, who are you?" Dana asked questioningly looking at Klaus. "Oh, don't worry, I wasn't in my right head last time we met." He then compelled her saying, "Lift your foot up, please, Dana." He turned to Chad as she did so and compelled him as well. "If she drops her foot, Chad, I want you to beat her to death. Understood?" I looked at him with shock on my face and shaking my head. "Don't, Klaus, you don't have to hurt anybody." "Oh, come on, love. Of course I do," he said smirking down at me.
Damon's POV
We had been driving for hours, but still, Katherine hadn't told me anything. Frustrated, I pulled the car over by a field and got out, Katherine following me. "Why are we stopping?" she asked curiously. I shrugged my shoulders and played it off, "I thought we might want to stretch our legs. Take a break from the sexual tension. I'm tired of driving, anyways. It's your turn." "Fine," she said rolling her eyes as I threw the keys into the field. "Hey! I…" "We're not going anywhere until you spill your guts," I said interrupting her.
"Fine," she said digging into her pocket and pulling out Elena's necklace. "Do you recognize this, hm? A little birdy told me that Klaus wants to get his hands on it." I gave her a questioning face and asked, "Why would Klaus want Elena's necklace?" "Does it matter? He wants it, and I have it. It's leverage, Damon. Always stay one step ahead of your enemy." "I'll keep that in mind," I said narrowing my eyes at her.
"But more importantly," she began with a bigger smirk on her face, "when I stole the necklace from Bonnie, I found out something else… Something better." "Oh yeah? What's that?" I asked intrigued. "Are you willing to do whatever it takes to stop Klaus? No turning back?" she asked hesitantly, not sure if she should trust me. After a minute, I nodded my head and she walked over to the trunk of the car. "Good, because this isn't going to win you any points at home." She opened the trunk and gestured for me to take a look inside. When I took a peak, I saw Jeremy lying in it, unconscious. "Jeremy? Really?"
Elena's POV
"Keep it up," Klaus said to Dana who was now struggling to stay on only one foot. "Where's Gene? What did you do to her?" Stefan asked with an angry glare on his face. At the mention of Gene, I saw pain flash through his eyes, then was quickly replaced with anger. "Genevieve is on a time out," he said through gritted teeth. Just then, Bonnie and Matt walked into the gym. "Bonnie, get out of here!" I yelled, hoping she would be able to save herself. "Ah, I was wondering when you'd show up," he said smirking over to Bonnie. "Now we can get started." He turned to Dana and raised a calming hand to her, "Ah, Dana, why don't you relax? You and Chad sit tight." Dana immediately fell into Chad's arms crying as Stefan ran to comfort her and as Klaus turned to Bonnie. "I assume you're the reason Elena's still walking around alive?" "That's right. If you want to blame someone, blame me," she said bravely. "Oh, there's no need for blame, love. Just your witchy interference seems to have caused some undesirable side effects. And since you caused the problem, I'm going to have you find the fix."
The doors of the gym slammed open as a pretty blonde girl walked in dragging Tyler behind her. What the hell? "Get off of me!" Tyler yelled while trying to fight her off, but it wasn't working. "Hush now," she said ignoring his cries. "I'd like you all to meet my sister, Rebekah. Word of warning, she can be quite mean." "Don't be an ass," she said while throwing Tyler into Klaus' open arms. "Leave him alone!" I yelled grabbing my hair in frustration as Stefan came to my side to calm me. "I'm going to make this very simple… Every time I attempt to turn a werewolf into a vampire hybrid, they die during transition. It's quite horrible, actually."
He bit into his wrist, then made Tyler drink his blood as we all watched in horror. "I need you to find a way to save my hybrids, Bonnie. And for Tyler's sake, you better hurry," he said then snapped his neck. We continued to stare with our mouths hanging open and eyes wide at Tyler's, now dead, body.
Bonnie, Matt, Stefan and I sat next to Tyler's body. Matt wasn't handling this well. "He killed him." "He's not dead. Klaus' blood will turn him into a vampire." "And if Bonnie's successful, he'll live through his transition. Go on, then. Go and fetch your grimoires and enchantments and what-not. I'll hold on to Elena," he said then grabbed my arm, pulling me away from an angry Stefan, forcing me to stand up. "For safe-keeping." I nodded my head at Bonnie and she took Matt and left.
"So this is the latest doppelgänger? The original one was much prettier," she said studying me with crossed arms. "Enough, Rebekah. Take the wolf boy elsewhere, would you?" She sighed then dragged Tyler out of the gym. "Just ignore her. Petty little thing."
Damon's POV
I sat down on a bench that was a small distance from the car as Jeremy lay on the table top, still unconscious. "I'm listening," I said getting up from my seat and beginning to pace. "What if I told you there was a way to kill Klaus? Not dagger dead, but dead, dead." I shook my head at her skeptically, "I'd say you were desperate and lying. Or drunk. Or desperate, lying and drunk." She rolled her eyes, "Do you remember my friend Pearl?" I widened my eyes then smirked at her. "Vividly." "Centuries ago, she told me about a vampire who knew how to kill Klaus. Then she wouldn't tell me anymore."
"Well, why not?" "Because it was her leverage. She knew it was valuable information, and wouldn't share it with me." I let out a frustrated sigh and stopped my pace. "Well, this is all great, but she's dead." "Which is why I never brought it up. Because she only ever told one other person." "Who?" I asked with narrowed eyes. "Her daughter, Anna." "Also dead," I said with a skeptical glare. "Which brings us right back around to…" she began as Jeremy woke up and said, "To me. Back around to me."
Vie's POV
I woke up and let out a loud groan. Thanks a lot Bekah. I lifted my head and looked around and saw that I was still pinned to the side of the truck. I groaned again and pulled the bar out, letting out a sigh. That feels much better.
I vamped to the high school and quickly searched the school, then deducted they were in the gym. I stormed in through the double doors and saw Elena and Stefan sitting and comforting a crying human couple. "Gene…" my brother said staring at me in happiness, but I continued to look around. When I looked up I saw Nik sitting in the bleachers with angry and watery eyes, clenching his jaw. "Nik," I said walking over to him. He let out an airy chuckle then jumped down and walked towards me. "Come to save your brothers' girl, Genevieve?" "Please let me explain," I said as my eyes began to water. "No need," he said not looking at me. "Nik!" I yelled, begging for him to look at me, but he didn't. "She means nothing to me. Whatever you ask of me I will do."
He turned to me with disbelieving eyes and nodded his head. "Fair enough, let's drink on it. Kill them," he said gesturing to the humans next to Elena and Stefan. I looked at them with teary and emotionless eyes and slowly made my way to them. "No! Gene, don't," Stefan said frantically. "He's not going to hurt me. He already said…" Elena protested as Klaus backhanded her face. She shrieked in pain as Stefan rushed to catch her and I rushed at Nik in anger. He growled, then grabbed me by my throat and held me in front of his face. "She means nothing to you? Your lies keep piling up!" "Nik, please. I am trying! I am trying to be faithful to you, but I can't lose my family!" I yelled through tears. "All I asked for was your loyalty. I didn't think I would have to resort to this…" He began to compel me, so I wasn't worried. I couldn't be compelled. "Stop fighting." "Nik, wait.." "I didn't want to do this, but now I'm going to have to." "Nik," I tried again, but was again interrupted. "You will do exactly as I say when I say it. You will not run, you will not hide, you will simply just obey."
"No. Gene!" Elena yelled as Stefan and I chuckled darkly. Nik looked at us confused as to why it didn't seem to work. "I can't be compelled. I tried to tell you," I said as Nik glared at me. "Don't worry… I'll kill them Nik." I vamped out and rushed over to the young female, draining her dry, then did the same to the boy next to her.
Jeremy's POV (WHAAAAAAAT?!)
"This isn't going to work," I said to them. There was a low buzzing sound, and Katherine looked down at my cell phone. "I think that your witchy girlfriend's worried that you've run away with your ghostly lover," she said with a smirk, causing me to glare at her. "Stop with teeny bopper drama. Focus," Damon said to us. I nodded my head then took in a deep breath, as Anna appeared next to me. "I'm not helping them," she said shaking her head and glaring at Damon and Katherine. "No, it's okay to help." Katherine and Damon looked at each other, not really sure what to do, since they couldn't see Anna. "They're looking for a way to stop Klaus." "I don't care. Katherine is not a friend to you. Neither of them are." I let out a sigh as Damon asked, "What's she saying?"
"Well, she doesn't want to help you," I said to them with pursed lips. Katherine then leaned into Damon's ear whispering something. I watched confused as Anna continued to glare. "Jeremy, I just want you to know, it's nothing personal," Damon said then slammed my head against the table. I grabbed at my head, trying to steady the splitting headache I now had. "Ouch! What the hell?!" "Jeremy!" Anna yelled worriedly as I gave her a reassuring smile. "Anna, I know you can hear me. Tell us what you know. The sooner the better for your little boyfriend here." She let out a frustrated groan then said, "They're looking for Mikael." "Mikael," I said to Damon and Katherine. "Mikael. Is that his name?" Katherine asked. "Who's Mikael?"
Anna sighed. "The vampire who hunts vampires. You don't want to wake him. He will kill all of you." "What's she saying?" "Hello!" Katherine and Damon said in frustration. "He's a vampire and a hunter, and you guys would be idiots to wake him." I looked at Anna confused for a moment. "What do you mean, wake him? "It's time to go find the keys," Damon said now paying me no attention. "Mhm."
Vie's POV
I finished drinking from the guy as I heard Nik say, "It's always nice to see a vampire in their true element. The species has become such a broody lot." I immediately choked on the blood and did a mixture of choking and laughing. Nik smirked at me as Stefan rolled his eyes at our childishness. "No, you did this to her," he said angrily, very close to a growl. "I invited her to the party, mate. She's the one dancing on the table." Then Rebekah slammed through the double doors of the gym in rage and rushed at Elena. "Where is it?! Where's my necklace?" Stefan pushed her away, checking Elena for any wounds as I walked up to Rebekah and calmed her. "Bekah, what are you talking about?" "She has my necklace, look."
Nik walked over and leaned his chin on the top of my head as Rebekah showed us Caroline's cell phone where it showed a picture of Elena and Stefan, the necklace around her neck. "Well, well, more lies," he said as he squeezed my shoulders tightly. "Where… is it?" Rebekah asked facing Elena and Stefan again in anger. I grabbed Rebekah's hand to keep her from attacking and I could see her visibly begin to relax as Elena spoke. "I don't have it anymore." She growled then ripped her hand from mine, lunging at Elena and biting into her neck. Frustrated, Nik walked over and yanked Rebekah away then threw her across the room. "Knock it off!" His voice boomed through the gym and I shook in surprise. Seeing my fear, his eyes softened and he gave me a sorry smile.
"Make her tell me where it is, Nik! Genevieve, please," she said close to tears and begging. My heart was going out to her. That was the last memory of her mother, who she loved dearly. I sighed and walked towards Elena, then stopped in hurt when Stefan stepped in front of her to protect her from me. "Ouch," I said with emotionless eyes. Stefan looked regretful at his actions then pursed his lips. Nik glared at Stefan for hurting me and walked towards Elena. "Where's the necklace sweetheart? Be honest." "I'm telling the truth. Katherine stole it." I let out an airy chuckle. Of course she did. Sneaky little Katherine. "Katerina. Of course. Well, that's unfortunate. If we had the necklace it would make things a whole lot easier for your witch, but since we're doing this the hard way, let's put a clock on it, shall we?"
Nik walked over to a table on the sidelines of the basketball court and started the timer on the score board. "20 minutes. If Bonnie hasn't found a solution by then, I want you to feed again, Genevieve." I looked at him questioningly as he kept an angry and serious face. "Only this time, I want you to feed on Elena. To ensure that everything goes smoothly," he began then rushed to Stefan and snapped his neck.
I stared speechlessly with wide eyes at my brother's temporarily dead body as Klaus walked over to me. "Do it, Genevieve. Imagine how much better off their lives would be without her," he whispered in my ear. I nodded my head emotionlessly as he smiled. "No, Klaus! Don't do this to her! You care about her don't you? If she kills me she'll lose her family, the only thing that matters to her. Think about how much pain she'll be in!" Nik looked at her for a moment, thinking over her words then turned to me with serious eyes. "No one leaves. If she tries to run, fracture her spine." I nodded my head numbly as Rebekah gave me a sorry expression. I gave her a forced smile and nodded my head again, telling her I'd be fine. She smiled at me as well then left to follow after Nik, who walked out of the gym.
Damon's POV
Katherine and Jeremy were sitting on the bench as I paced to try and come up with a plan. As I paced, I turned and saw that Jeremy was beginning to nod off. "Don't fall asleep, Jer. You might have a concussion." He sat up and rubbed his eyes then glared at me. "Thanks for the concern, dick." "Oh, stop pouting. He took one for the team. Everyone back home will thank you once Klaus is dead," Katherine said while glaring. "Where's my phone?" I asked patting my pants and jacket to check for it. Katherine held it out to me with a smirk and shaking her head. "Do you need to check in with Elena? Make sure it's okay you pummeled her little baby bro?" she asked in a babying tone to tease me. Jeremy was silently laughing, but trying to cover it up, so I just glared at him. "Of course you had it." "What can I say? I needed you present here and now." "Whatever."
Katherine sighed as I looked through my messages. "Whoa, Bonnie's been texting me." Jeremy immediately got up, which I saw made him feel slightly dizzy, with a worried face. "What is it?" "It's Klaus." "No," Katherine said stepping closer with a stern face. "No turning back, Damon." "Shut up, Katherine." "Hey, look at the big picture," she said waving her hands above her head for effect. "The best shot at taking out Klaus is by finding Mikael." I looked at Jeremy and gave him the keys to the car. "Stay with her so Anna can guide you. I'm going back." "You're going to get yourself killed. The Damon I remember wouldn't have been that stupid," she said angrily as I turned away.
I sighed then turned back to her with a nonchalant face. "I wouldn't have done it for you," I said shrugging my shoulders than turning back around to rush home.
Vie's POV
I was pacing back-and-forth in the gym as Elena held Stefan's body in her lap. I looked up at the clock and saw there was only six minutes left. "We need to do something," she said frantically over-and-over again trying to come up with a solution. "I know that, Elena," I said uninterested as I continued to pace. I can stall it, but if Klaus comes and sees that I didn't drink from her he'll be pissed. "Gene, you can do this. When that buzzer goes off, just… just drink from me." I let out a loud laugh as I shook my head.
I stopped my pacing and turned to her with a mixture of frustration, sadness and anger. "You don't get it. I can't stop, Elena! I listen to the words that come out of your mouth, and all I hear is the sound of your heart pumping blood through your body. I can't drink your blood, but if Nik walks in and sees that I didn't drink from you, he'll go crazy." "I don't believe that," she said placing Stefan on the floor and standing up. "You can fight it. You just have to want it bad enough." "Why, Elena?" I asked throwing my arms up in the air. This was irritating. "Because of my brothers?" "Yes! That's right, Gene. Because you love them. You'll fight because after everything that you have all been through, you owe it to them!"
I let out an airy laugh as my eyes began to water. Why me? This is all Esther's fault! "I would do anything for them, but you know what, you're right. You're right. I owe them everything, because through all of this, they are the one thing that has kept me from giving up; from turning it all off. But I can't help what I am, Elena. The more blood that I get, the more I want, and if I get so much as near yours… You're dead."
Klaus' POV
I stood in the shadows of the hallway as Bonnie and the quarterback talked. "As soon as you're feeling better, I'm going to kill you," she said punching his arm. He chuckled lightly and gave her a one-armed hug. "It worked. I saw her, I saw Vicki." Who's Vicki? Did I miss something here? "You did?" "She said she had a message for you." "For me?" "From the witch that put the hybrid curse on Klaus," he said catching my attention. I listened in carefully as they slowly approached me. "She said that Elena shouldn't have survived Klaus' ritual. The hybrids can't transition because Elena's still alive." Oh really now? They both passed me as the witch mumbled out the wolf boy's name. "He's going to die, isn't he?" The human asked worriedly with sadness in his voice.
I stepped out of the shadows behind them with a smirk on my face. "I wouldn't be too sure about that." They both turned around in surprise then looked scared when they saw me. I chuckled lightly. I do love inflicting fear with my mere presence. "Given the choice, doppelgänger or a hybrid, I go hybrid every time."
Vie's POV
There was only a few seconds left on the clock and I was still pacing. This couldn't happen. It shouldn't happen like this. I let out a frustrated groan as I stopped pacing and pulled at my hair lightly. "Elena, you're going to have to run," I said squeezing my eyes shut to think. Think about what? There was nothing else I could do. "But Klaus… Gene you love him. You have to earn his trust," she said causing me to snap my eyes open. "Don't, Elena. Just don't. I know what he said, but if you stay, it won't matter. There's no other way," I yelled through frustrated tears. "There is another way, Gene. You have to drink from me."
The buzzer went off, causing us both to stop and just look at each other. The emotion fell from my eyes, tears still running down my cheeks. "Gene, we love you. Don't give up," she begged. I let out a choked sob and wiped at my eyes. "I'm so sorry," I said putting my hands over my eyes. I let out a sigh and showed my vampire face to her. "Run!"
She took off through the school as I silently cried over my brother's body. Stefan please don't hate me. I cried for a minute when Nik came in dragging Elena behind him. "Well this is fascinating," he said with hurt eyes. He was getting tired of my betrayal, and I was getting tired of betraying him. "The only thing stronger than your craving for blood is your love for your brothers. Why don't you turn it off?" I froze and looked at him appalled. "What?" "You're strong, Genevieve. But doesn't it get tiring? Always risking yourself for your brothers, being hated for doing the right thing… loving someone who does not love you back…"
There it was. The words I've been afraid of. My heart broke into a billion little pieces at his word and my humanity faded to a small shard. "How dare you," I said in hurt and anger. He looked sad for saying it, but he made no move to take it back. "You want me to turn it off?!" I yelled standing up and walking into his face. Elena seemed scared that he would snap at me, but he wouldn't. He'd never lay a hand on me. "Do you?!" I yelled again smacking him upside the head. He let go of Elena and stood, taking all my blows as I cried and hit him. Finally, he grabbed my hands to stop me as I broke in his arms. "Fine," I said looking down at the floor, tears now silently falling down my face. "I'll turn it off." I looked up at him with tear filled eyes as all his hurt and loneliness finally showed in his. "But don't expect me to ever forgive you," I said pulling my arms away from him.
I took a step back and bumped into a hard body. Surprised, I turned around to see Stefan staring at me in fear and sadness. He was scared I would flip the switch, and sad because he knew how badly that hurt me. "Gene," he tried to say to convince me not to, but I shook my head and pulled away from him. I gave him a sad smile as slowly, I flipped the switch of emotions. Wow, nothing. I felt empty. It didn't hurt anymore. That part was 100 times better. But I also didn't feel good. I turned to Nik and Elena with a smirk as she stepped behind him slightly in fear. "Well, don't you look yummy," I said showing my vampire face and rushing over to her. I bit into her neck and drank as her delicious, warm blood ran down my neck. There was a ruckus around me, but I tuned it all out. All I cared about was this insatiable hunger in my stomach.
Klaus' POV
I stormed out of the gym and walked towards Rebekah and the werewolf boy. I ignored the pain that was throbbing in my chest until I couldn't any longer. I stopped in the middle of the hallway and growled at myself. How could I do that? How could I tell her to turn it all off? I angrily punched the lockers that lined the walls repeatedly and let out frustrated groans. I sank to the floor with my back against the wall and put my head in my hands.
I pushed her away again. I pushed her away and this time she wasn't going to come back. She'll never forgive me, and even if there was a chance that she could, she wouldn't turn her humanity back on for it. Why? As I wallowed in my own pain I slowly felt the aching in my chest increase until I couldn't help but release a few stray tears. "I love her," I said to myself.
I froze when the words escaped my lips then stared at the wall with wide eyes. What was I thinking? I couldn't love her. Love was a vampire's greatest weakness. Shaking my head, I rubbed away the few tears that fell from my eyes and stood up. I took in a deep breath and walked towards the classroom Rebekah was in to turn myself a hybrid.
I walked into the class and saw Rebekah sitting on the teacher's desk, while the young couple held each other. "Well, the verdict's in. The original witch says the doppelgänger should be dead." Rebekah seemed to perk up at that and hopped off the desk with a hopeful face. "Does that mean I can kill her?" I let out a slight chuckle then shook my head. "No, I'm fairly certain it means the opposite." "What?!" she shrieked in a whiney tone. I flinched at her high decimals then rubbed my ear along with the werewolf boy. "I thought only Caroline could hit the high of a decimal," he said with a frown. Caroline smacked his arm as I couldn't help but laugh at his humor. "Call it a hunch," I said walking over to him with a test tube of Elena's blood.
Rebekah grabbed Caroline so she couldn't interfere and they both watched. "Elena's blood. Drink it," I said crossing my arms waitingly. "No! No, no, no, Tyler, don't!" Caroline yelled trying to fight Rebekah's hold. I looked over at her dismissively then looked back at Tyler. "If he doesn't feed, he'll die, anyway, love. Consider this an experiment." He slowly put the test tube up to his lips and struggled to drink it, but eventually did. "There we go. Good boy."
Suddenly, Tyler began groaning in pain and clutching at his body. He screamed out as he fell onto the floor. Caroline seemed worried, but Rebekah continued to hold her back. He continued to groan and writhe for a few minutes, when he clutched at his head and began to scream louder. His face began to change and his hybrid face showed. I smirked down at him and nodded my head proudly. "Well, that's a good sign."
Rebekah's POV (WHAAAAAAT)
Nik and I stood outside the hospital leaning on a few cars as we talked. "So the doppelgänger isn't the problem. Her blood is the solution." "Seems so," he said not looking at me. Something is wrong with him, I thought eyeing him carefully "How did you know?" "Well, you know how much the original witch hated me. Do you honestly think I would do anything other than the opposite of what she says?" I shook my head as I looked up at the stars. "A thousand years in the grave and she's still screwing with you." "Well, it makes sense if you think about it from her perspective. It was her failsafe in case I ever broke the hybrid curse. The doppelgänger had to die in order for me to become a hybrid, but if she was dead…" "Then you couldn't sire yourself a new species."
"Leaving me alone for all time." I looked at him questioningly as he didn't seem to notice. "Is that what this is about? Your obsession with hybrids. You just don't want to be alone? Because from what I've been seeing, Genevieve would be happy to stay beside you for eternity." At the mention of her a deep sadness rushed through his eyes causing my own to widen. "What have you done?" He looked at me with his hurt eyes not saying a word. "What did you do to her?!" I yelled in his face. He pushed me away and began to pace in frustration. "I did what must be done. I told her to turn her humanity off." I froze and looked at him disgustedly and shook my head. "She loved you. She would do most anything you asked of her. How dare you. Do not whine about being alone if you are the one that made sure you would be," I said storming away and leaving him there.
Damon's POV
I walked up to Klaus as a smoking blonde walked away in rage. "Well, look who finally decided to show up to the party," he said giving me a smirk. "Where is she?" I asked with gritted teeth. "Genevieve? Or Elena?" he asked. I narrowed my eyes at him as he continued, "Ah, she's making a donation to a greater cause." I glared at him then began to walk to the hospital to check on her but he sped in front of me shaking his head. "I'm afraid I can't let you interfere, mate." "Well then, you'll have to kill me." "Oh, I would love to kill you, but I made a pledge to your sister, and unlike her, I keep my word."
I froze and looked at him questioningly as he grabbed me and pushed me against a car. "Although, you know what, thinking about it now, she probably doesn't care that much anymore." "What did you do to her?!" I yelled immediately as I tried to push him off of me with all my strength. He ignored my question and was about to kill me when I shouted, "Don't you want to know about your friend Mikael?"
He stopped and stared at me shocked for a moment. "What do you know about Mikael?" "Just that he knows you're here," I said with a smirk as he backed away from me slowly. "You're bluffing," he said with a fake smirk, but I could see the fear in his eyes. "Katherine and I found him. Consider it our leverage." He growled then grabbed me and threw me on the floor. I jumped up as fast as I could to fight back, but he was gone.
Vie's POV
I walked into the boarding house and straight towards the den and saw Elena, Damon and Stefan sitting on the couch with glasses of scotch. "Well, isn't this cozy?" I asked leaning against the doorway with a smirk. They all turned to look at me and Stefan and Damon both stood up. Stefan stood in front of Elena protectively, while Damon ran and pulled me into his arms. "Gene, I'm so glad you're okay," he mumbled into my neck. I let out a giggle from his breath tickling my neck and patted his back. "Yeah, Damon, I'm fine." "Damon, that's not Gene," Stefan said glaring at me. I smirked back at him as Damon pulled away and looked between us. "What are you talking about, Stefan?" "She flipped the switch," Elena said sadly.
Damon turned to me with wide eyes, begging for me to deny it but I just shrugged my shoulders and continued my smirk. "Why?" "Nik was right. All I ever did was protect you and Stefan and all it ever earned me was pain. Even the strongest fall, Damon." "What are you doing here, Vie?" Stefan asked. "Last I checked, I live here. Nik is gone, but he's asked me to keep watch on Elena until he returns. From now on, you're under my protection," I said with a teasing smile. They all seemed a bit confused and just looked at me as such, causing me to laugh. "Well, by all means, carry on," I said walking up the stairs to my bedroom.
I immediately stripped down to my underwear and grabbed a pair of pajamas. I threw myself into my comfortable bed and relished in it. It's been so long since I've slept in my own bed. God, being on the road all summer was irritating. But here I am now, and I still only have one thing to say.
Thanks a-fucking-lot Esther.
