Alex slowed down her car as she entered Mystic Falls. Despite wanting nothing more than to leave she continued driving into town. She had missed it. Missed the people thought she'd never admitted it. She was turning a corner when her phone began to ring.
"Are you here yet?" Klaus said as soon as she answered.
"It's nice to hear from you too Nik," she said rolling her eyes. "I'm doing well. Thank you for asking."
"Are you here?"
She sighed.
"Yes. I am here, and I have the werewolf with me."
"Good. Bring her to where I told you and you are free to do whatever for the time being."
"I don't believe you own me Niklaus." She ended the call and continued driving. She pulled into an empty parking lot. One of Klaus's witches as supposed to be meeting her. Once the witch had arrived and taken the werewolf, she got a text from Elijah asking her to come to the Boarding House.
...
When she entered the Boarding House she found Elijah with the Salvatore brothers and Elena. She walked into the room and stood beside her brother.
"Look who decided to show up," Damon said.
She ignored him and turned to Elijah.
"Did you need something?"
"Do you know who Klaus plans to use as the other sacrifices."
"No," she said.
"How do you know you're not lying? You're good at that."
Alex stepped towards him, but Elijah grabbed her arm. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
"Careful Damon. Most of my siblings are known for their tempers."
Alex and opened her eyes and spoke. "Klaus does not trust me fully yet. Don't forget I kept Elena from him, so he's angry with me at the moment."
She watched them for a moment and then sighed.
"Whatever you're planning is going to get you killed."
"What do you mean?" Stefan asked.
"I'm not an idiot Stefan. Klaus will kill you the moment you try anything." She looked at Elijah. "Have you not warned them?"
"I have. Everything is under control," he said. "I must leave, but I will return for the ritual."
Once he was gone she turned to the ones left in the room.
"So you're being Klaus's servant hoping he'll forgive you?" Damon asked.
"I'm not his servant. I a hoping him because he is my brother," she said. "And I would like to keep a dagger out of my heart as well."
"Has he daggered you before?" Elena asked.
Alex walked over and looked out the window. The sun was going to set soon.
"Many times."
"Then why do you still care about him?"
"He's my brother. I'm stuck with him for the rest of eternity."
Damon stood up. "I've got an errand to run. I'll see you all later."
A while after the sun had set Alex spoke to Elena.
"You seem to be taking your approaching death well."
"I have vampire blood in my system."
"Ah, that explains it."
Alex pulled out her phone when with rang. She read the message and pursed her lips. She turned to face Stefan and Elena.
"I truly apologize."
She broke Stefan's neck and then grabbed Elena's arm dragging her through the house. It was time for the ritual.
...
Alex and Elena arrived at the quarry with Klaus's witch. Elena immediately ran towards the body on the ground. Alex watched surprised as Jenna jolted awake. It was obvious to Alex that she was in transition. Greta instantly spelled circles of flames around them both and walked away.
Elena looked at Alex and yelled at her. "How could you do this?"
Alex stayed silent as Elena yelled at her and refused to look at her. She knew this would be the girl's fate the moment she had met her.
''Oh. My head,'' Jenna said from inside her own circle of fire. ''What's wrong with me?''
Elena Gilbert was watching her aunt with wide eyes. She moved to the edge of her own circle. ''Do you remember what happened?''
''You called me. You were so scared. Ah, I should have realized that it wasn't you. The second I walked out of the house, someone grabbed me. A vampire.''
''Klaus. It was Klaus.''
''He made me drink his blood. And I don't...I don't remember anything after that.'' Jenna's eyes wandered around the quarry. Her eyes landed on Alex. "Alex? What's going on? Where are we? What happened?''
''We're at the quarry. He brought us here.''
''Why don't I remember anything?''
''Jenna, do you remember...'' Elena hesitated for a second. ''When I told you how someone becomes a vampire?''
''Yeah, if you die with vampire blood in your system, it's...Oh, god. He killed me.'' The realization darkened her whole face. Alex felt pity for her. She had always liked Jenna and even she could admit that she did not deserve this fate.
The doppelganger tried to comfort and reassure her aunt, but she wasn't listening.
''I'm a vampire?'' Her question was more of a statement than anything else.
Alex heard Klaus's witch coming towards the clearing and stepped towards the circle. "Don't worry Jenna. This will be over soon."
"How could you let this happen?" Elena asked.
A twig snapped and Greta stepped into the clearing and spoke to Jenna. "I bet you're hungry.''
She picked up a rock from the ground and waved one of her hands.
Instantly, the fire around Jenna disappeared.
Elena's eyes widened when saw the witch using the rock to cut into her own wrist. Alex watched Greta walk up to Jenna.
''Greta. Please, just, just let her go.'' Elena pleaded, eyes wide. The witch ignored her so she turned to Alex. ''Please. Alex.''
Alex ignored her and watched Greta grab the back of Jenna's neck with her left hand, while she pushed her right bleeding arm the woman's mouth.
Jenna's eyes darkened as the hunger took over her. She grabbed the witches arm and swallowed the blood.
Alex sighed. Drinking the blood had sealed her fate. Jenna was going to die.
Greta used her magic to get Jenna off of her and created a new fire circle around her.
Elena was sobbing. ''I'm sorry, Jenna. I'm so sorry.''
With blood trailing down her chin, Jenna sat on the ground and rocked back and forth.
Alex looked up when Klaus entered the clearing. She could feel the excitement rolling off him. This was the first time she had seen him in his own body in modern times. His hair was shorter than she remembered but his signature smirk was in place. He walked calmly through the quarry, taking Jules with him on the way to the altar.
Alex watched as Jenna attacked the witch. Klaus threw her to the ground and Alex looked away as he put the stake through her heart.
She watched him drain Elena. She felt a bit of guilt when the girl hit the ground, but it was gone as fast as it had come.
'I can feel it. It's happening. Yes, yes!" Klaus shouted. His eyes changed to an amber color. Canine fangs grew in his mouth and he fell to his knees in pain. The change had begun. The moment he's waited for had finally alive.
She looked up when Bonnie Bennet entered the clearing chanting in Latin. Klaus began yelling in pain that wasn't caused by the change. Alex went running towards the witch but fell to the ground screaming in pain as well.
''You were dead!'' Klaus shouted from his position on the ground.
Alex looked up at Bonnie. "You can't kill us both Bonnie."
She looked over to see Damon arrive and kill Greta. He glanced over to where she was writhing on the ground. He started to move towards her but stopped himself.
Alex looked away from him as Elijah entered the clearing and pushed Klaus to the ground.
What was he doing?
"Elijah?'' Klaus said.
He looked down at him. "Hello, brother."
Alex pushed herself up on her knees as Elijah pushed his hand through Klaus's chest.
''In the name of our family," Elijah said
Of course, he had believed Klaus when he told them he dumped their bodies. Alex knew that wasn't true.
"No, Elijah!"
He ignored her keeping his eyes on Klaus. She let out another scream of pain as Bonnie increased the magic she had on her. She was stuck on the ground watching her brothers. She was only inches away from them, but Bonnie kept her from moving.
''Wait!'' The younger Original brother shouted in panic. ''I didn't bury them at sea! Their bodies are safe. If you kill me, you'll never find them.''
Elijah hesitated.
''I can take you to them. I give you my word brother.''
Bonnie and Stefan both yelled at him. He looked over at them.
"I'm sorry."
Alex felt someone's hand wrap around her wrist and then everything went black.
