So in order to get revenge for Tyler's revolution, Klaus had killed his mother. There was currently a memorial for her in the school auditorium. I know it was cold outside, but having lit candles inside had to be a fire hazard. Needless to say, I was upset with Klaus over the fact. He was also upset with me for not telling him as soon as I found out. That meant that we weren't speaking right now. The sheriff was giving a speech that I really wasn't paying that much attention to. I mean I was glad that she took me in, but I didn't really have a connection to her. Her death was unfair, I could say that.
I was seated next to Elena with Bonnie on the other side of her. I was wearing a green long-sleeved tee over a darker green tank and jeans with green flats. No it wasn't St. Patrick's Day. I noticed Elena was getting up and I took it upon myself to follow her. We walked outside as Bonnie's dad was announced as the mayor.
"Were there too many people in there?" I asked Elena.
"No, I think I saw Rebekah." Elena declared.
"What's so bad about that?" I asked. "Rebekah lives in this town and goes to this school. It's not like seeing her is uncommon."
"I just don't trust her." Elena replied before we heard a faint whimpering. We walked down the hall and found April by her locker.
"April, what's wrong?" Elena asked.
"Nothing." The human answered.
"But you were crying." Elena pointed out.
"It's just that this reminds me of my dad." April responded. "And I know you're a vampire."
"What?" Elena asked before suddenly Rebekah came and broke her neck. What the hell? Why did she do that?
"Was that necessary?" I asked.
"No, but it was fun." Rebekah answered. "Now are you going to come willingly or do I need to do the same to you, wolf girl?"
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"To the library." The blonde remarked. "It's time for some detention."
I know it wasn't official, but I hadn't ever had detention before.
"Chop, chop." Rebekah replied. I think I was supposed to take Elena there. Had something happened that had caused a rift between her and Klaus. I don't think she was upset about him killing Mayor Lockwood and everything was fine as far as I know.
When Elena woke up, I happened to hear her talking to April, who seemed very pissed over the compulsions and lying.
"Why are you doing this?" I asked Rebekah.
"Well two reasons: April wanted to find out everything that has been happening behind her back and so do I. My brother has told me nothing about his search for the cure since we got back from Italy. He also told me that if the cure is limited, I'll be the last to get it." Rebekah explained. "I knew that I shouldn't have trusted him. Now take a seat. The others should be here soon."
Who else was she having here? I don't think it was going to be Damon because he was supposed to still be at the lake house with Jeremy, Anna and Matt. I hope that Damon wasn't being too hard on him. I also don't think Klaus was too happy about the patient approach that we were taking with him. We still had no idea how long it was going to take to finish the Hunter's Mark which contained the spell that Bonnie would need to cast to get to the cure.
I wondered how long it was going to take. Rebekah knew that she could compel me, but I didn't know why she was holding me here with Elena. April seemed to be helping willingly.
She later brought Caroline and then Stefan in. She also happened to be holding the white oak stake.
"I can't believe that you could be stupid enough to risk your own lives to kill me. You don't even know if my brother was telling the truth when he said that he generated your line. Chances are Laura would be the only one to leave here." Rebekah stated. "Now class is in session. Rules are simple. Answer my questions and no harm will come to you. If anyone wants to defect from helping my brother, speak now. No one? Okay, April, my sweet, take notes."
I sighed, not really wanting to do this. I wish that I had gone to the lake house.
"Question 1: How many vampires has Jeremy killed?" Rebekah asked. "Elena?"
"Two." The doppelganger answered.
"That brings us to question 2: How many does he need to kill?" Rebekah asked before looking at April who had a paper and pen out. "What exactly are you doing?"
"You told me to take notes." April answered.
"I wasn't being literal, Darling." The Original declared. "Although, it actually seems like a good idea. So Caroline, what's the answer?"
"We don't know." Caroline replied.
"Can anyone tell me some information that is useful?" Rebekah asked.
"We found out that we don't need the sword to get to the cure because we found someone that knows how to get there." I explained. I hadn't even told Klaus this.
"Then let's get going." Rebekah declared as she grabbed my arm.
"We can't go anywhere." Stefan answered. "We have to wait for the mark to be completed because of the spell."
"You know I'm detecting a bit of tension between you and Elena. Did the two of you break up?" Rebekah asked as she let go of me. "You did, didn't you? I thought you two were soulmates who wanted to be together for all of time."
Now this was pretty cruel. Rebekah seems to like being a mean girl.
"So what happened to drive these two lovebirds apart?" Rebekah asked.
"She slept with Damon." Stefan answered coldly. Okay, Stefan needs to get over this and move on. Everyone could see it long before it happened. I really wish that I was at the lake house…or with Klaus. I don't think I could get away with texting him under Rebekah's watchful eyes.
"So much for epic love." Rebekah remarked. "So, Elena is this true? Did you sleep with Damon Salvatore?"
"Yes." Elena said through her teeth. I think April had gone to the bathroom at that point.
"Okay, so Vampire Elena is a trollop who likes bad boys which explains why Stefan reeks of alcohol." Rebekah summarized. "So why don't you give us the play-by-play, Elena?"
"Why? It's not you like you haven't had sex with him?" Elena spat at the original.
"At least Elena isn't taking advantage of a young girl." Caroline added.
"I am not taking advantage of her." Rebekah defended. "I've told her everything as soon as she asked. "I've been the only honest with her. It's not my fault that you can't comprehend that someone would love me, but how could Elena hurt Stefan like that?"
"She didn't know it, but she's sired to Damon." Stefan remarked. He was still thinking that her being sired meant that none of what she was feeling for Damon was real apparently.
"Now this is fascinating stuff." The Original declared. "Tell me, Elena how does that make you feel?"
"I think you're sad and bored and in desperate need of a hobby." Elena replied. "But I didn't sleep with Damon because of the sire bond. I slept with him because I'm in with him."
"What does any of this have to do with the stupid cure?" Caroline asked.
"You're right." Rebekah realized. "So how do find this person who knows where the cure is?"
"There's a professor named Shane that knows where it is." Stefan answered. He sounded torn up and burned.
Rebekah then called Tyler to taunt him some. I don't know why she wanted him here. Tyler didn't want to find the cure.
"Sister." Kol interrupted. Why was Kol here? "Well look at this. I didn't know you were a teacher now."
"It took you long enough." Rebekah replied. "Did you get him?"
Kol then pushed Professor Shane into the library.
"You must be Shane." She stated. "It's nice to meet you."
The two siblings then left with the professor. I wanted to make a break for it, but everyone else was compelled not to leave and I couldn't leave them.
"Still sitting?" Rebekah asked as she returned. "Let's spice things up. Elena: truth or dare?"
"We're done playing your stupid games." Stefan said. That would only make her angry.
Rebekah dared Elena to tell Stefan how she felt about Damon. I don't know why she wanted to torture him so much, Caroline was obviously annoyed. Elena told him how she felt in great detail which was probably the equivalent of a knife going into Stefan's heart. Actually, it was probably more like a stake because hearing it was obviously killing him on the inside. All of this cure stuff is leading to a lot of bad blood. It was followed by Elena saying that she liked Stefan was trying to fix her. Okay, from now on, I'm going to let Elena do what she wants.
"Are you still in love with Stefan?" Rebekah asked.
"No." Elena answered.
"So how does it feel having someone you love step all over your heart?" Rebekah asked. Now I understood. She was feeling vengeful. I don't understand why she needed to do this when she had April though. I don't think it was just about Stefan. I think it was about Alexander too.
Suddenly, Tyler came in through the doorway.
"Good you're here." Rebekah told him.
"What's going on?" Tyler asked.
"Now here are the rules. Stay in the building, no vamp-running. I guess Laura can do what she wants since she can't be compelled." Rebekah replied.
"Why are we running?" I asked.
"Turn." Rebekah compelled Tyler. Okay, this wasn't good.
"No, he'll lose control." Caroline replied.
"That's the point." Rebekah replied. "I've exhausted all of your knowledge and now I have no use for you. Why should I care what happens to you now and I can't have you going back to my brother."
Tyler then started to turn. I could still run at full speed, but I wouldn't be able to get anyone out of there. The three of them began to run at normal speed. I ran in front of Elena.
"I know what to do." I replied.
"What are you talking about?" She asked.
"I met with Shane a few days ago." I explained as I began to remove my clothing. "I figured that if he could help Jeremy control his hunter's instincts, he might be able to help me have complete control when I'm a wolf. I think if might be able to fight him off. But you should probably still leave the room."
I began to turn, falling to all-fours. The hair began to grow and my eyes turned yellow. I could identify my friends by how they smelled, just like a wolf would. I snarled and looked around. Elena was a friend. Yes, she was a vampire, but she was also a friend. I could do this. I needed to find Tyler.
"Laura?" She asked as she looked over me. I was fine. I ran out of the room on all fours as I found Tyler going after Stefan and Caroline. I tackled him to the ground. I howled at him to see if I could get him to follow me. They might not be able to leave the building, but I could lead him out until he changed back. I began to run and he began to chase after me. I decided to try something out. I snarled and he began knelt before me before he began to turn back. Once he did, I turned myself back.
"How did you do that?" He asked. You this is like that dream where you find out you went to school naked, but real life.
"I just got this idea to try to make you submit and it worked." I explained. "Jules was an alpha. I thought she worked for that, but I think it's a family trait. You should probably find my clothes and I need to go get mine. I ran at full speed to the room where I had left them. Elena wasn't there anymore. I then found Rebekah was with Elena and Stefan in one of the science classrooms. I walked in through the door and immediately everyone turned to look at me.
"Well that was interesting trick." The Original commented.
"Leave me them out of this." Stefan ordered as he stood in front of her. I walked over next to Elena.
"I can't believe that you still want to protect her, even after everything." Rebekah declared. "Must I rip your beating heart out of your chest and show you the scar tissue that is Elena Gilbert?"
Okay, now that was very poetic: extremely gory, but still poetic. She then walked over to Elena and stood in front of her.
"There's a solution to all of your problems, you know." Rebekah remarked. "I could compel him, like Niklaus did in the 20s. I could make him forget every memory he has of you, every day you fight together, every fight, every kiss, everything. I could take it all away."
"Do it." Stefan declared. I couldn't believe that he wanted to forget it all. That won't help him move on. Forgetting it won't make it better.
"Excuse me?" Rebekah asked. She was about as surprised as the two of us were.
"Erase it all, every memory." Stefan commanded.
Rebekah looked like she might before she started to laugh.
"No." She chuckled. "That would be far too easy. I refuse to make you forget her like Nik did with me, but at least you know how he really feels. Consider your eternity of pain my revenge, Stefan. Now you're all free to go."
I still don't understand why she needed revenge.
"Let's just go." I told Elena.
"How did you get Tyler to stop?" Elena asked me as we were walking out the door.
"It turns out that I'm a born alpha and I have the ability to make him submit." I explained. "I didn't even know that it would work. I guess it's kind of cool."
"It kind of makes you too powerful." Elena remarked.
"It's not like I can't be killed." I explained. "So I'm a little stronger than other wolves. I'm not invincible or anything."
As I went into the house, Elena took a call outside with Damon. I wasn't ready to talk to Klaus yet. I think we could reconcile, but it would take some time. Maybe I could get him to change. Maybe I could help him. I'm not sure if I like him exactly as he is though. I might not want him to change and I don't know if I should do it.
Suddenly went upstairs and began to pack a bag.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"We're going to the lake house." Elena told me.
So, Laura trained with Shane and also found out that she is a born alpha. Nothing with her and Klaus, but things are going to get worse when she finds out about the bar. Please don't forget to review.
