Hi, been a while since I updated because I've been really busy with work, but got lots of nice reviews and it got me motivated to post another chapter.
So hope you enjoy chapter 10 :)

Chapter 10 –
Torn Apart

She was running through woods, and felt the adrenaline pumping through her and she remembered what it was like to hunt, the thrill and the power was overwhelming there was nothing like it, and she could no longer deny that although she longed to have some sort of a normal life she didn't think she could live life without her strength , she never wanted to lose her power.

She ran quickly and quietly and lost in her own thoughts ran straight into a solid body with such a force it should of sent them both to the floor, but he was strong and had been expecting her. He grabbed her by the arms and gave her his trademark smile, showing off those cute dimples, he spoke.
"Running from something, my love?" He spoke serious but she caught the glint in his eyes and knew he was playing, she smiled sweetly back at him.
"Maybe I was running from you." She teased.
"You would never need to run from me." His smile had dropped and she suddenly felt afraid, although sensing it, he tightened his grip on her arms pulling her into him, his eyes never leaving her.
"Don't be afraid, you're safe." He whispered and suddenly let go of her, he took a step back and she felt the air around her turn cold, felt her heart quicken and felt the spring of tears in her eyes, she looked back towards him and he was cold, grey and veins appeared all over his skin, his eyes began to fill up but he did not tear them away from her, and before she could move he dropped to the floor.

Buffy sat up right, her heart still beating fast. She had been dreaming about Klaus and she could still feel his touch wrapped around her. She shook her self, it was just a dream it didn't mean anything. She was mentally drained after everything that had happened yesterday. She wasn't sure what to do with herself; she would normally train with Rik in a morning. She wondered if Klaus had left town yet, after finally getting rid of his mother he was free to move on. They hadn't really spoke last night, he had just been there for her, he had held her and comforted her, it wasn't till after he left she had realised that it was something she really needed.

Buffy sighed as her phone buzzed beside her, she leaned over and read the text from Elena.
'At school, please come alone ASAP'
Buffy grunted was there ever a peaceful day in Mystic Falls.

Buffy made her way through the school, she had come alone and the school grounds were deserted. She walked quietly down the corridors looking for Elena, when she heard some kind of sobbing coming further down the hallway. She made her way to the classroom and came to a standstill in total shock.

"And so the slayer joins us." Rik Laughed.
Buffy examined the room quickly, Caroline sat tied and bound in a chair with pencils piercing both palms of her hands, a mouth gag soaked in Vervain kept her quiet. Elena sat in the chair beside her scared.
"Rik?" Buffy asked confused "You completed the transition." Buffy stated.
"It would seem I have a course." Rik answered.
"And what would that be?" Buffy asked him cautiously.
"To end all vampires." Rik said angry. "I want you to kill her." He pointed at Caroline, and Buffy shook her head she would not be commanded by anyone.
"She's not done anything wrong Rik." Buffy stated.
"If you don't side with the humans, you're just as bad as them." Rik shouted and lunged forwards towards her.

Buffy reacted quickly and ducked underneath him, she looked quickly at Elena and shouted "Go", and she quickly stood and began to help Caroline get free. Rik looked towards them, but Buffy manoeuvred her way in to his eye line to distract him. He growled and moved towards her again; grabbing his arm she swung him round her and sent a kick into his chest sending him backwards into the wall. Elena and Caroline made a run for it and Buffy grabbed the bottle of vervain and smashed into Rik's face, he screamed in agony falling to the fall, she took a step back and ran from the room.

She ran down the empty corridor and stopped at the end turning back round to see if he had followed her, but she could not hear anything, she took a step back slowly and a hand grabbed her waist and another was placed tightly over her mouth pulling her backwards.
"Ssshh, ssshh. It's okay, it's me, you're safe." Klaus whispered into her ear and she felt those last words echo through her, the same phrase from her dream it sent shivers down her. He still held her tightly in place, but he removed his hand from her mouth.
"We'll save Elena, you go straight home, straight inside, you understand?" He whispered into her ear, so close she could feel the heat in his words. When she did not answer he spun her round to face him holding her arms.
"Do you understand?" He said more urgently and Buffy just nodded she still heard his words from her dream spinning round in her head. She looked into his eyes and he seemed urgent.
"Thank you." She whispered back to him, she wasn't just thanking him for being there now, but for being with her last night when she had needed someone. He squeezed her arms where he had held her and then he was gone.

Buffy had gone to the Salvatore's house, she was waiting for them to get back from the school, and she knew they would meet here and discuss their next move, and plan what to do about Rik. Buffy paced the living room impatiently she didn't want to sit still because when she did all she could think about was Klaus's words to her "Your safe." She didn't believe in coincidence she had dreamt him saying it and then he showed up at the school and said the same words.
Damon and Stefan came bounding into the room distracting her from her thoughts.

"What happened?" Buffy asked.
"Rik got away and Klaus got Elena." Damon said angry and Buffy took a step back.
"Klaus has Elena." Buffy repeated.
"Esther linked Rik's life to Elena's, when she dies, he dies too, and Rik having the only weapon that can kill an original, Klaus won't take any chances. He's going to kill her." Stefan explained.

Buffy shook her head, she felt stupid all this time she thought he may have been different but she couldn't stand by and do nothing while he planned to kill one of her friends, Elena was innocent and it was her job to slay the vampires.

"Do you have a plan?" Buffy asked.
"Bonnie wants to desiccate him, we can't let Klaus die because he claims we are all his blood line, but we can desiccate him like they did to Mikael." Stefan said.
"What about Rik?" Buffy asked.
"He's trapped in the school right now, no day light ring, so one problem at a time." Damon stated.
"Let's go then." Buffy spoke eager to get it over with.

Buffy, Stefan, Damon and Tyler crept up to Klaus's house. Tyler had explained Klaus was inside draining Elena of all her blood. Bonnie was connected to Stefan and Damon so one of them needed to make the connection to Klaus's heart for the desecration spell to work. The only thing in their way was the 2 Hybrids outside.
"I'll get the hybrids, you guys get inside." Buffy whispered.
"You're going to take 2 on?" Stefan hissed at her with raised eyebrows.
"Believe me am more than capable, and it's going to take you lot to surprise Klaus and take him down." Buffy hissed back and Stefan nodded.

Buffy stepped out from the shadows and made herself known to the hybrids, she smiled towards them and held out her arms.
"Who wants to go first?" she threatened and they both charged her.
She ducked underneath them both, forcing them both to turn round and to face her, giving the guys chance to get inside discretely, she smiled once they were inside the house and then proceeded to take out the hybrids, it didn't take her long after a few moments she too was making her way inside the house.

She was cautious, it seemed so quiet. She entered the living room where Elena laid on the floor unconscious and Tyler had Klaus from behind and Damon had him held from the side, Klaus let out what seemed like a roar as Stefan gripped his chest where his heart was. The connection was made and the spell began.

Buffy took a step forward and stood behind Stefan, she looked at Klaus as he began to desiccate. His body turned grey and dark veins appeared all over his body, Buffy gulped it was just like her dream. She had already seen this happen, she looked up and into his eyes, he looked at her. Buffy wasn't sure what she felt but she knew she couldn't move. His eyes never left hers and Buffy felt a tear come to her eyes as his eyes began to water, this was it. She heard a loud beating in her ears and it was getting slower and slower and she knew it was over any minute; still she never took her eyes from his. His head cocked to one side slightly and for a moment she thought he might say something, but the beating stopped and his eyes shut, Stefan took a step back and Klaus's body fell to the floor.
