Lucy's POV
I was at Elena's house because my mom was still at home. Stefan and Damon were there, but Elena made it pretty clear that she didn't want Faith in her house. I was wearing a short-sleeved red dress that buttoned up in the front and showed a little bit of cleavage.
"So why am I here?" I asked.
"We went to see Katherine this morning." Stefan explained. That was a bit hypocritical. "She said that she's willing to trade the moonstone for her release from the tomb."
"I thought she didn't want to get out of the tomb so she would be safe from Klaus." Elena replied.
"Well apparently she's changed her mind." Damon remarked. "We can stop the curse if we depower the moonstone."
"Well that sounds like a surefire way to get us all killed." I quipped. "Call me crazy, but I don't think it's a good idea to make a 1000-year-old unkillable vampire angry."
"Lucy, if we get the moonstone, we can save your life." Stefan pointed out.
"Okay, get it then, but let's not mess with the curse unless we have a definite way to kill Klaus." I suggested. "Get it, but do not do anything else without consulting me first."
Faith's POV
I headed to the kitchen to find that my mom was making pancakes. I was currently wearing my bathrobe.
What smells so good?" Anna asked as she entered the room wearing her bra and boyshorts. "I'll go put some clothes on."
"So we haven't had an adult here…well since she moved in and she probably thought that since Stefan and Damon were gone…" I remarked.
"Did you two have sex last night?" Mom asked.
"That's kind of personal." I said with a blush. "But no we didn't. We just slept in my bed together. I could use a little less judgment."
"Well I don't exactly know how to raise a teenager." She admitted. "I definitely don't know how to raise a vampire."
"Well I don't feed on people." I remarked. "There's a fridge full of blood in the basement."
"I got you some." Anna replied as she tossed a bag at me. She was wearing a black tank top and frayed black skirt.
"So I'm going to be looking for a job today." Mom replied. "I heard the Grille's looking for a new manager. Do you think I'd be good for the job?"
"Probably, just be warned, the bartender position seems to have a short job expectancy." Anna explained.
After breakfast, I dressed myself in a blue blouse with sleeves and jeans before Anna and I headed to school.
Lucy's POV
I decided not to go to school again and headed to the boarding house. There was one person that definitely wasn't focused on saving me enough to think clearly. I walked inside.
"Hello." A woman greeted me. I was a bit confused. She was dressed up for some reason. "You have no idea who I am. I'm Faith's mom, Peyton."
"Weren't you supposed to be dead?" I asked.
"I don't really have time to explain that story right now." She replied before she headed out the door.
"You know it's not nice to leave a girl naked in the morning." Rose stated as she walked into the room wearing a robe. "Oh, you're not Damon."
"I don't want to know about that." I declared. "I need to talk to you."
"I thought you hated me." She responded.
"I do, but I need your help." I replied.
"I'll go get dressed." She remarked before she walked to…well wherever her clothes were.
She came back a few minutes later fully dressed and we both took a seat on the couch.
"I want to go see this Slater guy." I declared.
"Why?" She asked.
"Because I want to know if he knows any possible way to kill Klaus." I explained. "I'm not just going to lie down and wait for him to sacrifice me."
"What's in it for me if I take you there?" She questioned.
"If everything goes well, I might talk to Bonnie about making you a daylight ring." I offered. I already knew that I probably would not do it.
"Okay, let's go. I'll drive." She stated.
"I don't have a car." I reminded her.
We ended up driving to Richmond and to a parking garage. I supposed that made sense being that it was away from the sun. We headed into the building to find an apartment with the door chained shut.
"Well looks like we came for nothing." She commented.'
"Do you honestly expect me to believe that you can't break these?" I questioned. She sighed and we entered the apartment. All of the lights were out. Maybe he really wasn't home. I then heard a gasp from the room was in.
"I don't think he's going to be much help." She stated as I went to the room and noticed a body with a stake in it. Apparently, someone had gotten there before we did.
Faith's POV
I couldn't help but notice that Lucy was not at school again. It wasn't like her to skip school. I was beginning to get worried about her. I knew that she was dealing the drama of a having someone who wanted to sacrifice her, but we didn't even know if Klaus even knew about her existence. I called her but got no answer. I then saw Stefan meeting Elena and Jeremy.
"What's going on?" I asked them.
"I was just leaving." Elena remarked before she left. I still couldn't believe that she hadn't forgiven me yet for what happened.
"We were going to get the moonstone from Katherine today after school." Jeremy replied.
"You know she's not going to just give it to us." I pointed out.
"That's why we're not going to give her a choice." Stefan stated. "I've already talked to Bonnie and she's on-board with using a spell to stop her and remove the tomb the spell."
"Are we sure that she can even do it?" I asked as I heard the bell. We decided to meet up at the boarding house. I noticed that my mom wasn't there and neither was Rose, which was odd because it was still daytime. "So what are we doing?"
"First I'm going to need something of Katherine's." Bonnie declared. "Do you have anything that belonged to her?"
I didn't think that we did. Could she have gone for a more general spell to hurt her, like the one that the one witch did to give her a seizure she could do.
"I have something." Stefan replied as he went upstairs and came back with the photo of Katherine. I noticed that he seemed to be holding onto it. "This is a picture of her from 1864. Will it work?"
I couldn't help but wonder how something as simple as a photograph, even one a really old one, could cause so much trouble. Bonnie took it and lit it on fire. Well I could tell that it wasn't going to cause any more trouble. Soon all that was left of it was a bowl full of ash. I still wondered how she was going to use said ashes.
"So we can throw the ashes on her and they'll incapacitate her for exactly 57 seconds." Bonnie explained. "I should be able to get the tomb open within that time."
I couldn't help but wonder how she was so confident that she could do it when it took both her and her Grams the first time and it also killed her.
"I need to go get the grimoire." Bonnie explained.
"I'll meet you at the tomb." Jeremy declared. I couldn't help but wonder if he was up to something. I decided to go with Bonnie in case she was attacked on the way, even though I was sure which one of us was more capable of defending her.
Lucy's POV
We began to look around the apartment. I was a bit surprised when Rose opened the blinds up.
"It's double-paned glass." She explained. "The sunlight can't get through."
I then heard a noise and I saw a beautiful young woman in a sexy dress.
"Alice." Rose stated.
"Rose." She replied. I couldn't help but wonder how they knew each other. She then ran into Rose's arms and began to cry, leaving me even more confused.
A few minutes later, Alice was in the kitchen. It turned out that she was Slater's girlfriend.
"She found him just before we did." Rose declared.
"How is she?" I asked.
"She's overreacting big time." Rose answered.
"I don't think that you can overreact when your boyfriend dies." I countered.
"Those tears are for her." She explained. "She was only dating Slater so he would turn her."
At that point, Alice came into the living room.
"You know you look really familiar." She commented. "Have we met?"
"No, but do you by any chance know Slater's password." I asked. "We need the information off of his computer."
"Who do you think you are?" She asked.
"What if I could get Rose to turn you?" I responded.
That got her to log in and begin working.
"You realize that I'm not going to turn her." Rose whispered.
"Yeah, but she doesn't." I remarked.
"His password is Kristen Stewart." Alice explained. "Slater was obsessed. It looks like the hard drive has been wiped clean."
"It was probably to prevent people from us from accessing the information." Rose suggested. I realized something terrifying, but decided not to bring it up. If Klaus had been there, it was quite possible that we were screwed.
"Lucky for you, Slater was paranoid and backed everything up." Alice continued. I noticed that there were a lot of emails from one person in particular.
"Who's this Cody Weber guy?" I questioned.
"Slater met with him a few times." Alice explained.
"Can you see if he knows how to kill Klaus?" I asked her.
"That's how I remember you. You're the doppelganger." Alice declared before she ran off into another room.
Faith's POV
Stefan, Bonnie, Damon, and I made our way to the tomb. Before we went in, Damon got a phone call and the three of us headed down the stairs. Once we got down there, we noticed that the moonstone was outside.
"What the fuck?" I asked.
"It's about time." Katherine stated. I turned to see that she was holding onto Jeremy whose neck was bloody. "Now I think you need to get me out of here."
Bonnie began to look for a spell. I wasn't sure how she would be able to work under duress.
"How many times do I have to kill him before you let me out of here?" Katherine asked. "Maybe I'll just take this ring off and that will motivate you."
"Just get me out whenever you can." I declared before I ran into the tomb and tackled Katherine. She was definitely caught by surprise. I wasted no time and plunged my hand into her chest. "This is for Pearl."
I then ripped her heart out. I was glad that was finally over.
"Faith, I can't do it." Bonnie declared. "I can't get you out."
"Well at least we got the moonstone and we got rid of Katherine." I explained. "Just find out how to get me out of here soon."
I really hoped that it wouldn't be too long.
Lucy's POV
I considered that it would probably be a good idea to leave. I opened the door and there was Damon.
"You told him?" I asked Rose.
"Well I can't let Klaus see me. Even though Elijah has forgiven me, Klaus is a different man." Rose explained.
"Cody's on his…wow Damon Salvatore." Alice remarked. "Do you have a girlfriend?"
"Get rid of her." Damon commanded. Rose took her to another room. "Now you're coming with me."
"Okay." I agreed. We both seemed to be on the same page for wanting to leave.
Before we could move, the doors opened and three vampires stood in the way.
"We're here for the girl." Cody declared.
"You're not going to get to her." Damon told them.
Suddenly, one of them fell over and we saw Elijah with a heart in his hand. Rose immediately ran out the door.
"Who are you?" Elijah asked.
"Who are you?" Cody countered.
"I'm Elijah." The Original replied.
"We were going to bring her to you for Klaus." Cody stammered.
"Does anyone else know about her?" Elijah asked. I was glad that we had compelled Alice.
"No." Cody replied. I couldn't help but wonder what I should do, but I knew that I was paralyzed with fear at the moment.
"Then you've been very helpful." Elijah remarked before he grabbed Cody and the other vampire and simultaneously tore their hearts out. I noticed Damon getting ready to fight, but just took one look at us and fled the scene.
"That was unexpected." I commented.
"We're leaving." He declared as he picked me up and began to carry me to his car.
"Let me go." I demanded.
"I'm not sure that you won't do something stupid on the way to the car." He replied. "Do you know how exhausting it is that I have to keep saving your ass?"
"I'm sorry." I apologized as I began to cry.
"You can't just cry your way out of this." Damon remarked before his phone rang. I sat in the car while he talked. "So I've got some good news, some very good news and some bad news."
"What's the good news?" I asked.
"We got the moonstone and we killed Katherine." Damon explained. "The bad news is that Faith had to go into the tomb to save Jeremy and kill her."
Faith's POV
I sat down on the floor next to the body. I knew that I would be able to survive on her blood for a little while. I just hoped that I wouldn't have to spend too long inside.
"Faith, are you in there?" I heard Anna ask me.
I headed to the door and saw that she was there with my mother.
"Is it true that you killed Katherine?" She asked.
"I did it for your mother." I explained. "Now I'm stuck in here, but I'm okay with that. I do need someone to make sure that Bonnie doesn't screw things up."
"Well I'm going to focus on getting you out of here." Mom stated. "I can't do it right now, but I'll get you out soon."
So yeah, Katherine's dead. I know that changes things for the rest of the season, but I have new plans to make it work. So what will happen when Klaus shows up? Please don't forget to review.
