Sorry i haven't been on in ages, trouble with internet and moving house and all different things

Aribella placed her pone back into her jeans as she ended the call to Caroline, informing her that they had the stake. She stood staring mindlessly out of the window thinking about how worried she had been about all of them when she and Elena left the school, she knew they would need to end Alaric at some point, she just hoped for her family that it was soon. The door burst open Klaus rushed into the living room and grabbed the bag and her arm. She looked up at him confused trying to pull her arm away but his grip was like steel, almost bone crushing. She yelped a little as his grip tightened when she tried to pull away.

''Klaus, let me go. What's going on?'' Aribella asked. He turned to face her, his eyes filled with slight fear but mostly anger. She looked up at him confused. Why was he so agitated?

''We're leaving, we have the white oak stake and Alaric wants it back so we need to run, come on Rebekah's got all your bags upstairs ready to be collected''. Klaus tried to pull her out the door but she dug her heels in and stopped her. He turned round to look at her frustrated. ''Look, we don't have time for your games Aribella, if we want to survive we need to leave now, Alaric's probably already out looking for us'' Klaus snarled down towards her.

''I'm not leaving. Just because you have the stakes doesn't mean he isn't a danger to the other people here, people that I care about. He could easily still stake Caroline and I can't let that happen. If it's a choice between I die while she runs then that's fine with me and if Alaric gets out of Mystic Falls to follow you then maybe I'll come and find you, but I cannot leave Caroline here unprotected'' Aribella said. Klaus looked down at her, his eyes filled with sadness and slight hurt

''Bella, I just got you back'' Klaus whispered dropping the bag and cupping her face gently. She placed her hands on his in a comforting fashion as she stared into his eyes, almost seeing into his sole

''And you will again, but not until I know that Caroline is safe, I promise you the moment I know she's well protected I'll come and find you'' Aribella sighed gripping his hands tighter. Klaus lowered his head down as his lips captured hers. He moved an arm from her face to her waist and held her tight against him as her hands moved to cling onto the front of his jacket pulling him closer. His tongue entered her mouth and began massaging her own. They both pulled away slightly breathless before Klaus leaned over and placed a short but sweet kiss onto her forehead. ''I'm sorry, but I couldn't deal with something happening to her''

Klaus nodded as he picked up the bag at his feet. ''I'll be waiting for you'' he said. A gust of wind followed behind him as he sped out to the car.

Elijah in the drivers seat with Rebekah and Kol in the back seats. All three of them looked confused when the door opened and Klaus left the house alone. He threw the bag containing a few blood bags for the road in beside Rebekah before he jumped into the drivers seat. Elijah could see he had tears in his eyes.

''Where's Aribella?'' Rebekah asked looking from the front door to Klaus confused. Why wasn't she following him?

''She's not coming, she's staying to protect Caroline. The moment Alaric follows us and Caroline is safe then she'll come out and find us'' Klaus sniffed, all of his siblings noticed the softness in his voice and the slight choking sound as he tried to get the words out. Elijah started the car as Aribella walked out with her hands in the pockets of her jeans.

''Wait, I have to say goodbye'' Rebekah shouted before rushing out of the car. Aribella hugged her tightly as she spied Kol and Elijah move out of the car. ''I'll miss you''

''Miss you too Bekah, it's only until Alaric starts to follow you then I'll come and find you'' Aribella sighed before being pulled from Rebekah into the arms of Kol.

''Kol do me a favour. Look after Rebekah'' Aribella muttered to Kol as Rebekah made her way back co the car. Kol looked down at her and smirked

''Always'' he grinned before letting go of her and sauntering back to the car.

''You head round to Caroline's please, Alaric can get in that house but he can't get into Caroline's house, you'll be a lot safer. I don't want to return to realise we left alone in your death trap'' Elijah said hugging her. She nodded against his shoulder

''I will, look after them for me, especially Nik'' Aribella sighed kissing Elijah's cheek gently

''I will'' He smiled before making his way back to the car. Klaus looked up at her as the car rolled down the driveway. She offered him a kind smile and a wave but he only returned the smile, it was Rebekah and Kol that returned the waves. Aribella breathed deeply as she tried not to think about the tears threatening to escape her eyes. She turned back to face the house. She walked in slowly and shut the door before making her way towards the stairs.

A presence behind her made her spin round. Her eyes widened in fear as a small but sharp gasp escaped her lips.

Alaric was sitting on one of the black leather chairs in the sitting room to her right.

She growled and went to lunge at him, but he of course was faster and stronger as he pinned her again the face wall next to the stair case with his hand on her throat. She let out a chocking sound as she wrapped her hand around his wrist and tried desperately to crush it, but it done nothing to help her.

''Now I believe you and the Adams family have something that belongs to me, where is it?'' Alaric growled gripping her throat tighter. She buried her fear deep inside of her as she grinned up into his eyes

''You just missed it, they took it with them and no torturing me won't bring them back and neither will hurting Caroline because if you do either of those things I'll kill Elena'' Aribella grinned up towards the newbie vamp as he glared down towards her

''You wouldn't, I know about Klaus' warning, you wouldn't dare wanna piss him off'' Alaric tried to detect wither she was lying or not but she just replied to him with a smirk, no way in hell was she lying

''What do you think he'd want more, his family safe and alive or his hybrids surrounding him, think about it. Anyway with or without a warning I'll do it anyway, I can handle Klaus'' Aribella smirked her eyes lighting with fire that quickly made Alaric's jaw drop

''You get me that stake, or your precious little niece will suffer'' Alaric snarled in her ear. She growled as she spun him around with all of her strength. Alaric looked towards her in shock as she placed her knee against his groin.

''Don't you dare threaten me Alaric Saltzman or I'll make sure your little doppelganger suffer, am I clear'' She growled pushing her knee further into his groin. He started groaning in pain as she applied a slight bit more pressure

''Crystal'' Alaric wheezed as she forced her knee further before allowing him to drop to the ground. ''Glad we understand each other. Now get out!'' Aribella growled throwing him through the front door. He screamed as the sunlight came into contact with his skin. Aribella watched as he rushed off in the opposite direction. She smirked as she slammed the door shut, guess she wouldn't need to move over to Caroline's after all. A car in the driveway had her spin round to face Tyler, Damon and stefan as they rushed in the door. Aribella looked at them in confusion as they had anger and disapproval written along their expressions.

''Can I help you boys?'' Aribella asked walking towards them slightly. Damon growled and rushed towards her pinning her against the back of the dinning room door, what was it with people pinning her to stuff today? She growled as she quickly snapped Damon's leg and wrist before throwing him to the floor. ''What the hell are you doing? How dare you show up here and attack me'' she snarled towards Damon before kicking him across the hallway so he came into contact with the banister on the stairs. Stefan winced slightly as bits of wood snuggled underneath his skin causing him to groan in agony

''Where's Klaus?'' Tyler barked towards her. She raised her eyebrows towards Klaus' disobedient hybrid. Damon grabbed the wood from his back as he stood slowly

''You just missed him, he and the other three left to keep the stake from Alaric, why?'' Aribella looked towards them confused as they all looked at each other in fear and shock. Aribella sighed as she folded her arms over her chest. ''What has he done now?''

Damon's head snapped towards her. ''Nothing much, just kidnapped Elena for the billionth time'' Damon snapped sarcastically towards her. Her eyes narrowed towards the elder Salvatore

''Okay one, if you want me to help you drop the attitude'' she snapped towards Damon who scoffed and narrowed his eyes towards her. ''And two, I don't know where he is and I'm not leaving Caroline here unprotected just to go and look for the stupid bitch that started this whole thing. I mean seriously, did you two not teach her how manipulative witches can be'' Aribella sighed. She heard Stefan's teeth grind slightly at her insult to Elena but she chose to ignore it.

''I'll protect Caroline if you four go and look for Klaus'' she heard a familiar voice say from behind her. She spun round to face Bonnie, Aribella offered her a kind smile before turning back to the boys.

''What are we waiting for, we had a doppelganger to go and get, but hear my warning, if any of you tried to kill any of the originals, I will snap Elena's neck like a twig. I promise'' Aribella warned as she pushed past Stefan and Tyler as she made her way towards her car pulling out her mobile on the way. She dialled Klaus number as she sat in the back seat of Stefan's Audi

''Love what's wrong?'' Klaus' tone sounded concerned and fear filled

''I know you have Elena, Klaus let her go now!'' Aribella warned.

''Love I can assure you, Elena is no where near me. Do you really think Elijah would let me bring her?'' Klaus said. Aribella frowned as she became confused. They had looked so worried about Elena. Suddenly the door of the car slammed shut. She tried to used her vampire strength to open it but it was sealed shut, magic. Her eyes widened as she saw flames begin to lick their way up the bonnet of the car, she soon realised. That the trap was not for Klaus, it was for her.

Damon and Stefan watched as Bonnie continued the spell to keep the doors shut as the fire grew larger. They could hear Aribella coughs from inside the car. Both of them knew Elena was safe at home, they had to lure Klaus back here for Bonnie to desiccate him. Aribella was just collateral damage. A car pulled up to their right as Caroline and matt jumped out. Caroline looked at the car confused

''Bonnie what are you doing that's Stefan's car'' Caroline asked. Her eyes widened as her vampire hearing picked up Aribella's weak coughs from inside the car. She suddenly saw the back of the her aunts head pressed against the window. She was dying, Caroline would have to act fast. She quickly shoved bonnie to the ground breaking her concentration before she rushed towards the car and pulled the door off. Aribella fell out of the car into Caroline's arms choking and spluttering. Caroline laid her down gently before she spun to face the four people infront of her. Her glare fixed on each of them

''What the hell is wrong with all of you, she done nothing to us'' Caroline snarled towards them as Aribella began to sit up slowly trying to keep her eyes from Matt's neck. Bonnie looked towards Caroline with slight guilt in her eyes as Damon glared at the blonde infront of them

''We need to get Klaus back here, her death would lure him back'' Stefan explained. Caroline looked in shock towards her so called friends that had just tried to kill her aunt. Her glare fixed on Tyler. She scoffed before turning back round to Aribella and pulling her to her feet. Caroline helped her into the car. Aribella turned to face the window as Matt climbed into the drivers seat.

''Matt do you mind if Caroline drives, I need blood and it's taking all my control not to snap at you just now'' Aribella said in a pleading tone. Matt nodded as he climbed out allowing Caroline to climb into the front.

''Aribella, what's going on'' Klaus shouted for the fifth time as he heard her coughing and panting. Elijah pulled over at the side of the road and was looking at Klaus in concern. Kol and Rebekah were exchanging worried glances in the back seat. Klaus' breathing grew deeper and heavy as panic started to set in, had Alaric gotten to her?

''No, no, no…please'' he heard her pleading on the other of the line as a sudden scream erupted through the phone. Klaus' eyes grew wide as tears filled them when the line was cut. He snapped his phone shut, crushing it in the process. Klaus turned to face Elijah who nodded. Elijah quickly ordered Kol to bury the stake in the woods somewhere as they would be heading back to Mystic Falls. Klaus sat breathing deeply trying to think positive as Rebekah sobbed lightly behind him. The moment Kol returned Elijah swung the car round and began heading back to Mystic Falls.

Klaus suddenly grew nervous, worried and slightly scared about what he'd find when he went back to Mystic Falls, would Aribella still be alive or would he return to find her body on the floor grey and covered in veins. Klaus felt more tears build in his eyes as he leaned forward and rested his head against the dashboard sniffing slightly. He felt a hand on his comforting hand on his shoulder. He spun his head lightly and was surprised to see it was Kol's hand upon his shoulder

''Who ever hurt her like that is going to pay Niklaus, I'll make sure of it'' Kol sighed trying his best to show his caring and concerned side and keep his usual cocky and arrogant side deep within as he knew that was not the side Klaus need right now, or the side Aribella needed right now.

Elijah nodded along with Kol's words, he threw his morals out the window the moment it came to his family and he considered Aribella to be part of his family as she was just as much a sister to him as Rebekah was. Even if it was Elena that made her hurt like that, then the doppelganger would pay. He glared at the road as he pushed his foot down that little bit further to speed up the car, he needed to know for himself what had happened to Aribella.

Aribella groaned as Caroline forced another blood bag to her lips, she'd drained three already to make sure she didn't drain Matt. Aribella grabbed Caroline's wrist and pushed the blood bag away as she sat up

''I'm pretty sure Matt would not like to clean up blood that I've puked up off of his carpet. Slow down Caroline, I'm fine'' Aribella chuckled watching her niece fussing over her. Caroline huffed and pouted whilst folding her arms. ''Thank you Caroline, I know how much your friends mean to you, you didn't have to go against them to save me''

''Yes I did, you're family'' Caroline smiled tucking a bit of Aribella's fringe behind her ear. Aribella looked up towards her niece smiling. Matt was forward towards the two girls

''What I don't get is how you were in the car? And why they were trying to kill you?'' Matt asked taking a seat next to Caroline upon the coffee table. Aribella looked up towards Matt and sighed

''They told me Klaus had Elena and I was waiting in the car for them to go and bring her back here, I was going to help try and save her and then, the doors closed on me and Bonnie set the car a light. As for why, they wanted to bring Klaus back here, to desiccate him, to make him suffer. So that's the thanks I get for trying to help, I'd love to see what treatment I got if I murdered half the town'' Aribella joked sniggering slightly. She looked up to see Caroline and Matt's worried expressions. ''It was a joke''

While Caroline was informing her mother of what had happened and Matt was doing a shift at the grill, Aribella snuck out the back door.

Now she would get her revenge

Elena sat on her sofa flicking through the television. She was dressed in a pair of grey sweatpants and a light blue tank top that she'd pulled from the back of her wardrobe. Her long straight brown hair was tied back into a high pony tail as she waited for Stefan or Damon to give her conformation that either Aribella or Klaus was dead. A sudden knock at the door caused her to jump slightly. She turned off the tv and threw the pillow she'd been clutching in her lap to the other side of the sofa before she stood slowly adjusting her ponytail high up her crown before making her way to the door, hoping it was either Stefan or Damon.

She pulled the door open and gasped as Aribella stood there. Her blonde hair still held her perfect ringlets that bounced and danced along her shoulders when she moved. The pink stripe in her side fringe was a darker shade of pink than Elena remembered. If it wasn't for the state of her clothes Elena would think that she wasn't in the fire at all. Her leather jacket was burnt and ripped in a few placed as were her black jeans. Elena soon noticed she was barefooted. Her used to be white t-shirt was now a medium grey that clung onto her curves tightly. Her usually slightly friendly blue eyes glared daggers towards Elena, almost as if piercing her sole.

''Aribella, what happened? How are you still? Where are Stefan and Damon?'' Elena's question fired out of her mouth before she could stop them. Aribella's eyes grew darker as a evil and mischievous smirk played along her lips, making Elena slightly nervous.

''Oh don't worry, they're fine. It's you that I'd be worried about'' Aribella grinned as she grabbed the hand that elena placed on the outside of the doorway and pulled her out of the house. She pulled Elena towards her smirking. ''Let's go and have a little girly chat then shall we'' Aribella brung her hand up to Elena's neck and pressed down hard causing her to pass out quickly

Klaus had never felt more relieved to see the sign of Mystic Falls. Elijah sped up that little bit more the moment they were past the sign.

The moment they reached the driveway everyone was nervous at what they'd find. Klaus didn't even wait for Elijah to stop the car as he jumped out to face Stefan's - now ruined - car. Rebekah and Kol rushed inside while Elijah rushed to see if anything was in the car.

''Oh no'' Elijah said reaching down for something in the car. Klaus felt his stomach churn as Elijah pulled out Aribella's half burned mobile, that's why the line had disconnected. Klaus ran to the back of the SUV and puked out the little blood he'd drank on the way over here. His eyes grew wide as his hands began to shake, he needed to know if she was alive or not.

''Well, well, well. Look who we found lurking upstairs'' Kol's voice chuckled as he and Rebekah dragged each of the Salvatore brothers out of the house. Klaus immediately rushed towards them. He grabbed Stefan from Rebekah and forced him towards a tree. Damon watched in horror as Klaus grabbed a branch and shoved it deep into Stefan's chest, missing his heart by centimetres. Stefan groaned in pain as he tried not to move knowing that one move in the wrong direction could end his life.

''What did you do to Aribella?'' Klaus growled wrapping his hand around Stefan's throat. Stefan tried to choke out an answer but the pain was clouding his mind. ''Wrong answer'' Klaus' hand flew to the branch of wood stuck in Stefan's chest. He moved his hand a little, Stefan's eyes went wide as he felt the wood scrape his heart lightly. ''Goodbye old friend'' Klaus smirked darkly.

''She's at Caroline's, yes we tried to kill her but Caroline saved her, she should be at her house'' Damon shouted from behind him. Klaus growled as he lowered the stake. He quickly brung his hands up and snapped Stefan's neck quickly while Kol done the same to Damon.

The originals arrived at the Forbes house in a matter of minutes. Elijah knocked sharply on the door twice. Klaus breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the sheriff make her way towards the door with Caroline behind her. The sheriff opened the door confused

''We're been trying to contact you, Aribella's not here. Caroline took her to Matt's house and she ran off with Elena'' Liz explained. Klaus gritted his teeth, he knew Aribella would kill Elena to get her revenge on the Salvatores. He suddenly began to tick off all the places she could be. One stood out in his head the most.

''I think I know where she is, but we're going to need more vampire power to get into it. Love, you interested'' Klaus said looking over towards Caroline

''If it saves Aribella from being staked by Alaric or the Salvatores while keeping Elena safe then count me in'' Caroline smirked

Aribella stood in the cave waiting for Elena to wake up. She smiled as she began to look around at the old drawing she and Niklaus had done in the cave many years ago when they used to come down here as children. She would sneak away and come down here with Niklaus, Rebekah, Kol and Henrik while they were all trying to stay away from the wrath of Mikael. She would often have to sit for hours cleaning and mending Niklaus' wounds that he'd received from Mikael the day before. She smiled as she remembered when she and Klaus returned here a few years after her transformation, when her sister was dying. She blushed slightly as she remembered the night they spent in the cave.

A groan from across from her caused her to raise her head slowly as she looked up to see Elena begin to awaken. Elena's eyes opened slowly as she looked down in shock at Aribella. She soon tried to stand but couldn't. she looked down and realised she was strapped tightly to a chair.

''Trying to get away so soon, I don't think that would be a wise move. You'd miss all the fun we're about to have'' Aribella grinned as she stalked towards Elena. She leaned down so her eyes were level with Elena's who suddenly became aware that her necklace was missing. ''I wonder do you know what it's like to be burnt alive Elena, I do. Infact I encountered it just recently at the hands of your pretty little boyfriends. Well why don't we see how well you'd cope with the pain shall we'' Aribella smirked as her pupils began to dilate. Elena gulped as she waited for the pain to hit her, and it did. She screamed in pain as she felt her skin begin to burn. She looked down and sobbed as she saw flames make their way up her legs.

Aribella smirked as she watched her cry in agony. Aribella quickly lifted the compulsion. Elena slumped in the seat breathing deeply whilst sobbing.

''Not nice it Elena. Well now you know how I felt, let's get to work shall we'' Aribella smirked leaning her hands down onto Elena's wrists. Elena kept her head down. Aribella snarled and put her hand under Elena's chin and forced her to look up at her. Once again Aribella's pupils dilated forcing images into Elena's head. Elena gasped as she saw Kol and Elijah fighting with Stefan and Damon while Rebekah was fighting with Caroline and Klaus battling Tyler. Matt lay dead in the corner. Elena gasped as she watch Klaus force his hand into Tyler's chest and furiously rip out his heart.

Rebekah smirked and copied Klaus' actions, ripping out Caroline's heart and allowing the blondes lifeless body to drop to the ground with a thud

''No, Caroline'' Elena called out, her desperate tone bounced off each of the cave wall creating an echo effect. Aribella winced as she knew she would never let Rebekah hurt Caroline but she had to make Elena suffer as much as she had. Elena's sobs grew as the attention was turned to both the Salvatore brothers

''Time to see who you'd chose sweetheart'' Aribella grinned as she forced a new image into Elena's heard. Elena let out a strangled wail as in perfect sync both Elijah and Kol buried their hands into the Salvatore brothers chests. Aribella kept her eyes upon Elena waiting to see which one she'd cry out to

''No, Stefan'' as the name left Elena's lips Aribella looked down towards her in shock. Personally Aribella always thought she'd chose Damon. Elena looked up in shock as Elijah turned round to face her. His eyes were black as his fangs were exposed

''Next'' Elijah snarled towards her. Elena screamed as Rebekah rushed towards her and sunk her teeth into Elena's neck. Kol and Klaus both sunk their teeth into her wrists while Elijah stood grinning. ''Enough! My turn'' Elijah smirked making his way towards her. She looked up at him in fear. She winced as she felt his hands around her throat. Suddenly everything went black.

Aribella pulled her from the vision as she broke the compulsion.

''See that wasn't so hard was it'' Aribella grinned. Both girls looked round as figures appeared to their right

''What do you think your doing bella?'' Klaus asked looking towards her. She smirked as she spun round to face him. He made his way towards her with the others behind him. Aribella smiled as she saw Caroline step out from behind Elijah

''Just having a little girly chat with a friend of mine'' Aribella grinned as she watched Caroline rush over to help elena while she made her way over to stand beside the originals. ''Oh and cross me again, I will kill you''

''You won't have the chance to'' a different voice called from behind the group. They all spun round to face Alaric. Aribella gasped in fear as she saw he was standing near the entrance with the white oak stake in hand, how the hell did he get that?

Elijah immediately forced Rebekah behind him as he and Kol made a wall between her and the hunter. Alaric grinned at the fear filled look on their faces

''Do you have any idea how easy it was to find this after following you for three hours'' Alaric grinned as the originals slowly began to take steps backwards. Elijah growled and lunged towards Alaric

''Kol, get Rebekah out of here now'' Klaus ordered forcing Rebekah's hand into Kol's. Kol nodded as Rebekah looked up in shock

''No want to stay and help'' Rebekah argued back as she tried to tear her hand from Kol's but his grip was steel. Kol turned back to face her, his eyes dark

''Don't argue back, come on'' Kol snapped dragging his little sister out of the caves. Klaus forced himself infront of Aribella who was protecting Caroline. The watched in horror as Alaric pinned elijah to the ground ready to stake him

''No!'' Klaus called out as the stake was inches away from Elijah's chest. Suddenly Alaric was flung to the other side of the cave. All four onlookers turned to face Katherine crouched protectively beside Elijah

''You got my message then'' Elijah grinned as Katherine helped him to his feet. Both were knocked back down by Alaric. Before anyone could blink Aribella tore into her wrist and forced it to Elena's mouth.

''Goodbye Alaric'' Aribella shouted as she snapped Elena's neck quickly.

''No!'' Klaus, Elijah and Alaric screamed towards her as she allowed Elena's body to drop to the floor. Alaric started to cough as blood spluttered out of his mouth. He sunk to his knees. Elijah held Katherine protectively behind him as they each watched Alaric slowly fall to the ground as his veins darkened and his skin turned grey. They all turned when they heard someone sob. Damon and Stefan stood at the mouth of the cave staring down at Elena's lifeless body.

''Better go and get some blood, she'll be awake in a few hours. I'm sorry, but it had to be done. My family was in danger'' Aribella said before rushing off to join Kol and Rebekah at the edge of the forest

''What happened'' Rebekah's eyes were red and puffy as she rushed towards hers

''Alaric's dead, it's over. Elijah's alive, Katrina showed up just in time'' Aribella explained. Kol breathed a sigh of relief as Rebekah looked towards Aribella confused

''Did you say Katrina?'' Rebekah asked glancing between Kol and Aribella

''Yeah she did, Elijah text me while you three were at Caroline's house. He informed be of the situation and I came right over.'' Katherine smirked towards the blonde original. Rebekah and Aribella looked down in shock as they saw Katherine's hand wrapped firmly in Elijah's.

''You lot are lucky, you missed their make out session'' Klaus sniggered from behind the couple. Aribella looked up towards him and offered him a small smile, he replied to the smile with a glare that made Aribella wince
