Enjoy!
The Next Morning
Gene's POV
Nik and Elijah were gone. All my friends, except for Bonnie and Jeremy, were angry at me. When it happened, Stefan left, and I was alone with Bonnie in the quarry. I broke down in front of her. I let her see my pain. I told her everything. She understood. I mean, anyone would have done the same if they were in my shoes. You just can't kill the person you're in love with. No matter how bad they are.
When I went to the witch house Jeremy attacked me. As promised, I let him stake me. But afterward, he collapsed into my arms and cried. As punishment for not killing Nik, the witches revoked my spell to save Jenna's life. She was dead, and it was entirely my fault. When Jeremy came around to speaking to me, I told him, too. He was angry at first, "How could you love that monster?!" The only thing I could reply to him was, "Because I can see through the monster." He accepted my answer and forgave me, but he was still hurt.
Today was Jenna and John's funeral. The witches had decided to transfer my spell to John instead, trying to punish me more. That one didn't really work, but still, he died. I slowly walked to the funeral to the Gilbert lot and saw everyone standing around with roses in their hands. Hearing me approach, they all turned to me. Some gave me sad smiles. Elena and my brothers, however, glared at me.
When I reached the group Elena stomped over to me and slapped me. Bonnie ran to my side checking my face and Jeremy held onto Elena, trying to calm her. "This is your fault! Jenna died because of you!" I pulled away from Bonnie and walked up to Elena who waited for a hit in return. "My fault?! I was going to risk my life to save you! I don't even like you, Elena! I would have been fine if you died! But I did it anyways!" I yelled as Stefan approached me to intervene, but Damon held him back, waiting to hear what I had to say. "Would you be able to do it?" I asked her in a trembling voice as tears filled my eyes.
She looked at me confused, as Damon slowly seemed to understand. "Would you be able to kill the person you loved? If that was Stefan, would you kill him?" I asked letting the tears fall from my eyes. Elena's face softened as she shook her head. She quickly wrapped her arms around me and squeezed me tightly as I did the same, crying in her arms. "Genevieve," Damon said angrily as he pulled me away from Elena. "How? How could you fall in love with that bastard?! He tried to kill us!" I continued to cry as I shook my head helplessly. "He tried to kill her," I said as the tears stopped falling from my eyes. "To me, he was the sweetest and most caring person on Earth," I said as everyone left.
Elena began to cry as Damon let go of me and walked to the edge of the cemetery. I walk to him with sad, pleading eyes, hoping he wouldn't be angry as Stefan walked to him as well. "We're going to head back to the house," he said as I stood silently. "I think I'll skip the coffee and tea cakes." "Damon, she needs us right now. All of us," he said looking at me as well. I looked away from him as Damon spoke, "And then what's the plan, Stefan? The curse is broken. How does one go about killing an all-powerful wolf vamp and his two-faced older brother?" Stefan sighed and shook his head looking up at the sky. "I have no idea."
Damon turned to Stefan looking frustrated, and I noticed how sick he looked. His skin was a pasty, pale green and he had dark circles under his eyes. "We need to get an idea. Fast." "I'm not going to let Elena lose anybody else." "I wouldn't make any promises, brother." I looked at him shocked as Stefan looked at him questioningly. "What's that supposed to mean?" "Tyler Lockwood bit me," he said causing me to gasp in shock. Damon pulled up his sleeve, showing a bite mark, as Stefan examined it. "It's actually more of a nip, really, but there it is," he said nonchalantly.
Stefan shook his head unbelievingly, "We'll find something. A cure." "There's no cure, Stefan." I whimpered out and jumped at Damon, hugging him to me. Damon sighed and hugged me back as he kissed the top of my head. "We kept Elena human, right? We found the way when there wasn't one. Hey," he said causing Damon to face Stefan while I remained in his arms. "I will do this," he said confidently. Damon shook his head and stepped out of my hold to look at Stefan and I. "You want to do something for me? Keep this from Elena. Last thing she needs is another grave to mourn." He patted my head lovingly, then gave Stefan's shoulder a squeeze and walked away. Stefan and I both watched in torment as we feared that our older brother was about to die.
Stefan, Bonnie and I are in the witch house trying to figure out how to save Damon. "I'm not sure this is going to work," Bonnie said as I paced back-and-forth. "You've done a séance before, right? Contacted Emily Bennett. Maybe one of the witches might know how to help Damon." "Let's just hope they want to," I mumbled to myself as Bonnie began the spell.
Hearing the voices of the witches, I stopped and turned to Bonnie, whose eyes were closed. "Bonnie? Bonnie?" Stefan asked. Then she opened her eyes and said, "Emily." The witch Emily Bennett was possessing Bonnie's body. I slowly walked over to Stefan, trying not to seem a threat. "Why have you come here, Stefan? Arabella?" I growled at her as she smirked at my reaction. "Do not call me that," I said threateningly. "We need your help. We need to know if there's a spell that can heal a werewolf bite." She glared at the question and shook her head, "No. Nature ensures a balance to everything." "Which means there is a cure," I said in a duh tone. She glared at me as Stefan looked between us with a hopeful face. "Is that true? Are you unwilling to help because it's Damon?"
She chuckled and shrugged her shoulders. "Perhaps it is his time to die." "That's not balance. That's punishment," I said angrily as I clenched my fists. "I will not give you what you want," she said as the witches began to whisper again. It was all so chaotic, that I couldn't make out what they were saying. Then, Bonnie screamed and fell to the floor as I heard one word being whispered out. "They don't want us here." "They know something. There's an answer. They just don't want to tell me." "I heard them say a name." "What was it?" "Klaus," Bonnie and I said at the same time. I turned to Stefan who looked at me shocked. "Go take care of Damon. I'll handle Klaus," I said running out of the forest, to Ric's apartment.
I walked into the apartment to see Katherine lying on the couch. She got up and walked to me with a curious face, "Who the hell are you?" She asked as I ignored her and looked around. Angry at my silent treatment, she rushed at me. But before she could attack me, I broke off a piece of a wooden stool and pinned her to the wall. "Mind your attitude. I am not in the mood to deal with you," I said holding the wood threateningly positioned over her heart. She looked at me in fear just as Nik and Elijah walked in.
Seeing me holding the woman he loved, or loves, I should say, Elijah gave me a stern look. "Genevieve," he said crossing his arms making me roll my eyes with a sigh. "Fine," I said dropping her down to the floor. She smirked at me in triumph, which I did not like. I smirked at her as well, causing hers to fall and her eyes to fill with fear, as I stabbed the stake into her shoulder. "Don't think just because Elijah is here that I won't hurt you," I said turning to a frustrated Elijah and a smirking Nik.
"You just keep popping up, don't you?" Nik asked me with a smirk, but I could still see the fear and betrayal in his eyes. I sighed, "Nik, I need your help. For my brother." He watched me carefully as he stepped in with Elijah behind him. "Well, whatever it is, it's going to have to wait a tick. You see, I have an obligation to my brother that requires my immediate attention." Elijah looked at me gratefully, because if I hadn't spared Nik, he would never have found his family. "You understand how important family is, or you wouldn't be here. My brother gave me his word that he would reunite me with my own." "And so I shall," Nik said putting a dagger in Elijah's heart.
I screamed in shock and sadness as Elijah turned gray. Throwing Elijah into a coffin, Nik rushed at me and held me against the wall, pinning my hands above my head. "Now, what am I going to do with you?" he asked placing gentle kisses on my neck. Feeling his lips on my body, feeling his breath on my skin, feeling him so close to me, I felt my body reaching out to him. As if some magnetic force was drawing me to him. Frustrated at not being able to touch him, I released my arms and put them around his neck pulling his face to mine.
His lips were as sweet as honey and as soft as a feather. Touching him, my senses heightened and a rush of energy flooded me as we kissed hungrily. It was as if we would never see each other again. I felt his hands digging into my hips, pulling me so close against his chest that I could feel our hearts beating in sync. Everything in the world led up to this moment of complete bliss, and I never wanted to leave his arms again.
There was a sound of a throat being cleared from behind Nik that snapped us out of our own little world. He pulled away and rested his forehead on mine, taking in deep breaths. "Why are you so different?" he whispered out gently and so quietly that I could barely hear him. I gently rubbed his cheek and gave him a bright smile. If only things could stay like this.
Remembering why I came, I sighed and gave Nik one last kiss and pushed him away gently. "Nik, I need a cure. Please, I'll do anything." He walked over to the kitchen and pulled out a blood bag, "Let's drink on it." I gave a half-hearted smile and nodded my head as I grabbed it then leaned on the counter facing him. "You know, I've never seen anything as powerful as you are. In all my one thousand years, you are the strongest, by far. Maybe even stronger than me," he said smirking. I giggled as I drank down the blood bag, "Thanks, I guess."
He gave me a real smile then began to speak again, "You're just like me. A hybrid. A hybrid, I can make a deal with. That is the kind of talent that I can use when I leave this town." I looked at him waiting as he smirked again. "Katerina, come here," he said as Katherine walked close to him. He took her arm, showing his hybrid face that I used to fear so much, and bit her arm. She began to panic as I laughed at her and Nik continued to smirk. He then bit into his wrist and forced her to drink his blood, causing her wound to heal.
I watched incredibly with my mouth hanging open. Nik laughed at my expression as I shook my head. "You want your cure? There it is." "Your blood is the cure. Got to love Mother Nature," I said crossing my arms. He walked over to me and pulled me into a hug then whispered in my ear, "Now, Let's talk."
He turned me around, resting his chin on mine, and then reached for a vile. He slowly filled it with his blood as I watched it pour in and felt my fangs appear. I wanted to drink his blood. I wanted to feel his essence flowing down my throat and filling me. I felt myself slowly leaning towards the blood, about to grab his bleeding wrist, when I froze. Shocked at myself, I turned away from his blood and calmed myself, retracting my fangs.
Not noticing my blood-thirsty moment, Nik placed the vile on the counter, and then sat me on the counter next to it. "There it is," he said gesturing to the vial next to me. "You want to save your brother? How about a decade-long bender? I have big plans for you when we leave this town." I looked into his eyes, finally the same height as him, and shook my head. "Nik, I can't leave. This town is my home. My family is here," I said placing my hands on his chest. He grabbed the vial then said, "Well that's too bad. You would have made a hell of a dance partner," then slowly began to pour the blood into the sink.
"Wait," I said grabbing his hand to stop him, feeling the same sparks jolting at his touch. "Now that's more like it. I want you to join me on my journey. It's your choice, my little vie. You can either remain here, while your brother dies, or you can leave this town with me, and save your brother's life." I slowly nodded my head and leaned forward to rest it against Nik's chest. He looked over his shoulder to Katherine, handing her the vial then saying, "Take this over to Damon and come right back." "You want me to leave?" she asked surprised. I looked at her with a glare, "If Damon doesn't get that cure, I will tear you apart limb from limb, no matter who I have to kill to do it." She began to shake as she took the vial and rushed out of the apartment.
We walked, hand-in-hand, into a warehouse where Elijah lie in a coffin, surrounded by four others. Two men stood watching over them carefully. I walked to Elijah's coffin and rubbed my hand against his cheek sadly. "I suppose, brother, you've been reunited with our family," Nik said pulling me away from the coffin and closing it. He turned to the two men, "Put him with the others. We're leaving town tonight."
They carefully carried his coffin away as I got a text from Stefan and Elena telling me Damon was alright and asking me where I was. I sighed sadly as Nik walked up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist. "So, did Katerina make it in time?" I nodded my head as I said, "You won't be seeing her again." "Because she's on vervain? I've been around a long time, my little vie. I rarely get played for a fool. Besides, she won't get far. You'll help me see to that." I giggled and nodded my head. "Gladly." He lightly pecked my neck, and I could feel him stiffen as his fangs appeared, lightly scraping my neck. I let out a soft moan as I leaned my head back. Pulling away from my neck, he grabbed my hand and led me to a giant eighteen-wheeler. "Let's go."
